According to the information that Jing Yanfang, the current female head of the Jing family, has obtained from various sources, the incoming owner of Hululing Island is a casual cultivator who has been earning money by hunting various monsters in the open sea.
resource.
It was only through several years of fighting against sea beasts that he could hone his combat prowess to the peak level among his peers, and only then could he have the opportunity to win the title of Lord of Hulululing Island in many battles.
Jing Yanfang appeared from the side and immediately forcibly killed the famous skeleton witch with a thunderbolt without any fear of revenge from other monks, which further confirmed this.
However, running a spiritual island and hunting sea beasts are two completely different aspects. No matter how smart, capable, decisive and intelligent, or powerful in combat, it cannot be accomplished by just one person.
Through the Jing family's previous performance in maintaining the spirit island, the new island owner who took office alone should be trying his best to win over.
No matter from which aspect, the Jing family is much better than recruiting some random cultivators with unknown origins. All the methods originally prepared seem to have lost their due effect at this time.
"The Jing family is willing to serve the island owner, and is willing to become a sharp blade in the hands of the island owner to protect the spiritual island." Jing Yanfang, the acting head of the Jing family, immediately bent down and asked for surrender. From this point of view, it showed
It's quite decisive.
"The head of the Jing family wants to surrender to someone Zhao on behalf of the entire family? Can you understand some of the differences between this and the family that was the owner of the island before?" Zhao Shoushou asked lightly, as if he was not particularly keen on recruiting the Jing family.
"Jing Yanfang understands the difference. Please rest assured, island owner, but please give the Jing family a chance. You will not be disappointed." The middle-aged patriarch of the Jing family replied affirmatively.
"Zhao is alone. If he wants to manage the spirit island, he needs a group of people to help him. If the Jing family is willing to become a member of the guard team under someone, they can practice on the Hulu Spirit Island for a long time. However, they do need to abide by the rules.
If you violate this rule, you will be severely punished, do you understand?" Zhao Shoushou's tone was quite harsh.
In fact, there are advantages and disadvantages to recruiting these families who have been stationed in Lingdao for a long time. Zhao Shoushou has never made up his mind. Today's surrender of the Jing family helped him make his final decision.
The lesser of two evils, as long as he can maintain absolute suppression based on strength, how can a mere Qi-refining period family escape from his grasp?
Even if the Jing family has been operating for hundreds of years and there are quite a few valuable treasures in the family, it is impossible to cultivate a new foundation-building monk in a short time.
Currently, except for Jing Yanfang, the acting head of the family, the few remaining monks who are at the peak of Qi refining are all dying monks and are basically in a stage of talent elimination.
Another point is that since they want to surrender to him and seek the blessing of a mid-stage foundation-building monk, the Jing family naturally needs to offer some valuable treasures to show their sincerity.
In fact, this is the reason why they are unwilling to leave. Once they establish themselves on an attached miniature spiritual island, without the strong protection of the Foundation Establishment monks, they immediately become delicious fat meat that some Foundation Establishment monks can take a bite of at any time.
Since he is now willing to enjoy Zhao Shoushou's blessing, in addition to some normal inspections, he naturally needs to offer some additional special treasures.
"Island owner, please rest assured, I will strictly restrain the clan members, and anyone who violates the rules of the spiritual island will be severely punished." Jing Yanfang agreed quite firmly.
"In this case, the Jing family can use Xilu Mountain in the west of Hululing Island as the family residence. The division of labor among all monks will remain the same. In addition, the Hulu seedlings must be taken care of carefully." Zhao Shoushou ordered decisively, paying special attention to the latter.
Low-level gourd seedlings can be traded in exchange for some spiritual materials and spiritual stones. High-level gourd seedlings can assist in improving cultivation. In addition, every time the spiritual gourd matures, a spiritual gourd auction will be held.
It can attract a large number of monks every time, and it has even gradually formed a habit. Of course, in addition to the gourds, another batch of resources will also be raised for sale.
In addition to promoting the family's reputation, the Jing family can also take the opportunity to earn a lot of spiritual stones. Naturally, Zhao Shoushou will not let such an excellent tradition be cut off.
"Island owner, please rest assured. There are more than thirty monks in the Jing family who are dedicated to taking care of the growth and development of spiritual seedlings. It will definitely not have any impact." Jing Yanfang naturally understands the key to her family's foothold, and she is 100% confident about this.
Confidence.
"Tomorrow, select three monks who are familiar with the situation of the attached miniature spirit island and go with Zhao to investigate one by one. In addition, every monk of the Jing family who is on the miniature spirit island needs to come to see them." Zhao Shoushou ordered,
The safety of the six affiliated spiritual islands is also within his scope of responsibility, and he should go on inspection to reassure people.
"The juniors will definitely select suitable monks to patrol with the island owner. This second-level middle-grade spiritual gourd was left behind by the old patriarch. Today I would like to offer it to the island owner to show our loyalty." Jing Yanfang took out one from the storage bag
Small green gourd.
"It is indeed a second-level mid-grade spiritual gourd. It is what someone needs. If you accept it today, you will definitely be compensated for it in the future." He obviously had no intention of rejecting this kind of treasure.
This is also the main purpose of Zhao Shoushou's troubles. If he still has no sense and wants to be a stingy miser, his future treatment will naturally be significantly different.
The Jing family has controlled Calabash Spirit Island for more than a hundred years. During this period, the highest-grade second-level mid-grade spiritual gourds have matured more than three times, even though most of them were auctioned off in exchange for some precious resources.
According to the rules of each family, some of the relatively high-quality ones will be selected and stored in the family treasury. This can be regarded as a type of family potential.
Zhao Shoushou is currently at the fifth level of foundation building. The most important role of the second-level mid-level spiritual gourd is to help break bottlenecks and advance to the later stage of foundation building.
And its effect is directly proportional to the time the monks spend cultivating. If they wait until the next round of spiritual gourds mature, it will probably be too late. When fighting for this spiritual island, they have already made up their minds to find ways to steal from the Jing family.
The family got a spiritual gourd in their hands.
"It is the grace of the island owner that the Jing family can continue to stay on Hululing Island. I don't dare to have other ideas. I will resign." Jing Yanfang left simply after offering the treasure.
In fact, this is the true face of the world of cultivation. When the strength of the two parties is quite different, offering treasures to seek blessings and buy enough time for the development of the family.
Half an hour later, at the old residence of the Jing family, more than a dozen monks in the late stage of Qi refining were looking eagerly at the patriarch sitting on the main seat.
"The spiritual gourd taken out from the treasure house has been presented to the island owner, promising that the Jing family can rebuild the family residence in Xilu Mountain, and family members can also take charge of their former duties." After whetting the appetites of the monks, Jing Yanfang just breathed a sigh of relief.
