Chapter 1968 Old Man
In the last war between tigers and men, the cultivators fought with all their might and protected the people at the same time.
In addition, there is another problem. Although the demons are not tiger men and do not eat humans, they will demonize humans.
If Hongye Ridge does not accept refugees in the future, the enemies it will face will not only be the demons, but also the demonized humans!
Therefore, the Cultivator Alliance suggested that Hongye Ridge expand its territory, not to divert trouble, but because everyone has this need.
Even Qu Jianlei’s team itself faces this problem - should they add more enemies to themselves?
The alliance allowed Hongyeling to expand, gave away land at a price almost free of charge, and was willing to confirm the ownership, which in itself was a sign of sincerity.
If it weren't for such a big thing, Qu Jianlei's team would have to spend a lot of spirit stones to acquire more land.
Not to mention permanent land ownership.
Putting aside other things, just saying that with a fourth-level spiritual vein behind it, it would not be difficult to improve the spiritual vein level of the surrounding land with a little management.
It really cannot be said that the Cultivator Alliance is trying to take advantage of anyone, this is the current situation!
After listening to this, Qu Jianlei was speechless for a long time, and finally asked, "So... we are also responsible for building living facilities?"
These words obviously sounded emotional, but Yan Jinhai could understand them.
Not to mention the Nascent Soul, even this fake infant of his doesn't want outsiders around him.
Almost all the residences of True Immortals have buffer zones around them. Why is that?
But even though he understood, he still had to explain, "As for living facilities, as long as you are willing, there are many people rushing to build them."
"If you find it too noisy, you can also set up a residential area, including making your own rules in the management area!"
"The alliance agreed to expand your territory mainly because the current area is too small to be used."
"It's enough to go around," Qu Jianlei snorted coldly with a dark face, "As long as no outsiders come in, how many people do I have in Hongye Ridge?"
"As long as there are no outsiders coming in, this is fine," the Yan family's leader still dared to make this decision.
"But the problem is that there is no buffer zone around. Can you tolerate it?"
Qu Jianlei did not answer. The concept of buffer zone has always existed, and it is also a respect for high-level practitioners.
But in fact, the territory owned by Hongyeling is just over 100 square kilometers.
After a long while, Jia Shuiqing said coldly, "Only if they don't affect us!"
"Of course they want to agree to that," Yan Jinhai coughed twice, and a trace of trance appeared on his haggard face.
"But, alas... when the critical moment comes, I really can't suppress the fear. I have seen it with my own eyes!"
"We are..." The paranoid also showed up, "Who did we offend?"
Yan Jinhai was silent for a long time before he said, "Dongsheng's affairs will eventually have to be resolved by Dongsheng people."
"Tsk," the paranoid snorted, "Just because you made us angry, you're going to give up this business temporarily!"
The Yan family's leader kept his mouth shut. He had no doubt that the other party might just turn around and leave.
When the other party bought Hongyeling, they purchased it at a floor price, and it has been fully recovered after so many years of use.
The key point is that with the strength of this group of people, if they just go and snatch a fourth-level spiritual vein, who can stop them?
Finally, it was Jia Shuiqing who spoke up, "After the expansion of Red Leaf Ridge, will the refuge be located on our territory?"
"It can be, and it can also be not," Yan Jinhai answered without hesitation, "The plan is very flexible, and there are some small differences."
The shelter can be built at the edge of the border, but in that case, Qu Lingzhu and others can only do limited management.
But if it is built on the territory of Hongyeling, they can formulate corresponding rules, even...laws.
It is not a rule that the guest should follow the host's wishes, but rather the nature of an independent kingdom. I am the master of my own territory and have the power of life and death.
If anyone is not convinced, they can choose not to enter, otherwise they must accept it. In this extraordinary period, there is no need to waste time talking nonsense.
The next moment, Dogan also showed up. This news really excited everyone.
“I want to ask, if we don’t want to expand the site, will the surrounding buffer zone be sold?”
"This..." Yan Jinhai hesitated and replied, "My Yan family doesn't dare to sell it, and I guess the alliance... doesn't dare to sell it either!"
"But they insisted on staying in the buffer zone. We had to make an emergency decision, so we had no ability to intercept them."
"Then let's expand it," Duogan glanced at Qu Jianlei and smiled slightly, "Boss, our real estate business is about to take off!"
"You're so unruly!" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes when he heard that. "What do we need from these little things?"
It's obviously a disaster caused by the invasion of demons, but you can still play such a cheerful trick?
"Why not?" Dorgan said seriously, "You said it before, life is like that, if you can't resist, you can only enjoy it."
"This is an unexpected disaster, and I can't refuse it. Why not take the opportunity to make some money... and open up a little bit."
"Pattern..." Qu Jianlei suddenly remembered that stockings with these two words on them seemed to sell particularly well.
So a helpless bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, remember what I said... the agent method?"
"Of course I remember," Duogan smiled lightly, then looked at Yan Jinhai, "Fellow Daoist Jinhai, can we charge for this kind of thing?"
Yan Jinhai blinked twice and suddenly smiled. New wrinkles appeared on his face, which was as old as tree bark.
"Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen?"
"This... is just a two-way choice," Dorgan replied with a smile.
"We can't forcibly stop others from approaching, but we won't force them to pay. Things in the world are generally fair."
Yan Jinhai rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully, "I have a feeling that the surrounding land prices may also increase!"
"There must be a buffer zone!" The paranoid man said calmly, "Except for Sujia Village, we do not welcome any forces to border us."
He had roughly guessed what Dorgan was going to do.
But this doesn't have much appeal to him, so just a casual reminder is enough.
But the Yan family was not dissatisfied. They came here to discuss the matter only because of pressure from the alliance.
Otherwise, if the Yan family just had a need, given their relationship with Hongyeling, wouldn't there be anything that couldn't be discussed?
So on the way back, Yan Jinhai also told Yan Xuemin, "If you have nothing to do, have a couple more drinks with Wu Laoliu!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xuemin could only roll his eyes. When Wu Laoliu was in Zhujiafang Market, his status was even lower than his.
Now, Wu Laoliu has been given a slave mark, but why do I feel... that I am not as good as this enslaved guy?
In the next two days, Tianyin finally came out of seclusion. Qu Jianlei calculated for her and found that it would be safer to reach the next level half a year later.
There wouldn't be any big problems with the divination for reaching the Golden Elixir stage, but Qu Jianlei was a little confused as to why such a result came out.
Fortunately, Tianyin is still young enough, so it doesn’t matter if he waits a few more years.
Two days later, someone from Baiyao Valley came and asked to see Lord Qu Ling who had just returned from outside the sealing formation.
The person who came was Sanwei Zhenxian, the elder of Baiyao Valley, who said that he wanted to discuss the issue of the infiltration of demonic energy.
Qu Jianlei directly sent out his spiritual consciousness, which was extremely huge, "Let that old bastard Wu Liu come, I'm not interested in seeing you!"
This divine consciousness was not only heard by the people in Baiyao Valley, but also by a group of cultivators in Sujia Village.
However, Qu Jianlei didn't feel embarrassed at all.
After coming to Dongsheng, he and his team have been trying to keep a low profile and be kind to others, but this does not mean that he has no temper.
The fact that Immortal Wu Liu destroyed the courtyard they rented could not be simply ignored. They just didn't pay much attention to it before.
But a few days ago, the Yan family’s request for Hongyeling to expand made them realize that people really can’t be too easy to talk to.
It is not right to be too aggressive, but being too friendly can easily give others the wrong impression.
Anyway, he cursed him as "old bastard" very bluntly - so what if he was the number one master of elixir?
"You!" Upon hearing this, Sanwei Zhenxian's face suddenly changed. How could you be so rude in front of so many people?
He had a gaunt appearance, and a bit of an immortal temperament, but at this moment his face was red, "Fellow Daoist from Hongye Ridge, please respect yourself!"
"Self-respect?" Qu Jianlei snorted disdainfully, "I'm Hongyeling's generous and tolerant for not taking direct action!"
"That old bastard Wu Liu did it directly. Don't say you don't know!"
Sanwei Zhenxian really knew about this case, otherwise he would not have come to Hongye Ridge.
But he was still very angry, "Fellow Daoist, please be polite. Senior Brother Wu Liu didn't curse at me at that time!"
"I have already kept my dignity, get out of here!" Qu Jianlei said impatiently.
"You dare to come to my house to provoke me, do you really think that Hongyeling is so easy to talk to?"
"How can I provoke you? I'm here to negotiate!" Sanwei Zhenxian was furious, "I'm very sincere!"
"Get lost!" Qu Jianlei said calmly, "If it weren't for the imminent invasion of the demons, do you believe I would have killed you?"
He is the only one in recent years who dares to call for the killing of the five immortals in public.
"You!" Sanwei Zhenxian almost vomited blood, "I came here to discuss with you how to deal with the demon."
To be more precise, it was the golden elixir that was contaminated by the evil spirit and was half-dead.
Baiyao Valley was really out of ideas, and remembering that Hongye Ridge seemed to have quite a bit of experience in dealing with the demons, they went there anyway.
However, discussing ways to deal with the demons is not empty talk. At least we have to research and develop relevant elixirs, right?
"Do you, Baiyao Valley, have the qualifications?" Qu Jianlei sneered, "Take out the Seven-Star Soul-Restoring Needle Book and talk to me again!"
“That’s obviously…” Immortal Sanwei was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he turned around and flew away, “What a majestic Red Leaf Ridge!”
"If you really want to show off, I'll slap you to death," Qu Jianlei snorted, but was too lazy to say anything more.
