The mountains are majestic, shrouded in spiritual mist, and the vegetation on the mountains is verdant. Occasionally, monsters roar on the top of the mountains, and spiritual birds leap high in the sky.
A vast plain, surrounded by mountains.
There are vast hectares of fertile farmland, well-proportioned villages, and endless traffic, creating a prosperous scene.
Near the mountains, a majestic city shines like a pearl inlaid among the plains and mountains.
"arrive."
Mu Yunsheng looked relaxed and looked at the city below, with a smile on his face.
The fiefdom of Yunhou's lineage, Jiaoya County.
The Jiaoya Mountains and the plains that stretch for thousands of miles are all the fiefdoms of Marquis Yun.
In the Tang Dynasty, the princes were not empty titles, but represented extremely rich interests. Each prince had a huge and fertile fiefdom. As for whether he could manage it well and collect money, it all depended on his own ability within the scope allowed by Tang law.
.
Take the Yunhou lineage as an example, Jiaoya Mountain is very fertile.
Among them, there are seventeen spirit stone veins. If one of the ancestral veins were fully mined, the number of spirit stones mined would probably exceed tens of millions.
Then, this place already had an owner.
Jiaoya Mountain is the location of the mountain gate of Lingpuppet Sect.
Thousands of years ago, Jiaoya Mountain and the Jiaoshan Plain below the mountain belonged to the Lingpuppet Sect. The people living on it were all its slaves.
Emperor Gaozu ended the era of sect rule and liberated thousands of people.
In this process, many sects were destroyed, and many sects were passed down.
Like the Lingpuppet Sect, they abandoned the entire Jiaoya Mountain Plain and several spirit stone veins on Jiaoya Mountain in exchange for the conditions for survival.
However, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The influence left by the sect is still very amazing. The wealth and power they possess are enough to plunge the newly born Tang Dynasty into turmoil again.
In order to weaken the sect and prevent the sect era from happening.
Emperor Gaozu wrote a clause on fiefdom autonomy into the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
Then, the world was sealed.
Only by using emerging dignitaries to check and balance the sect can we enjoy a thousand years of peace. However, this move is not without its hidden dangers. Nowadays, there are too many dignitaries and too much power, and it has begun to become a bit overwhelming.
The prosperity of the Yunhou lineage depends on national policies and relying on the Lingpuppet Sect to knock the bones and absorb the marrow.
You must know that Lingpuppet Sect is one of the top sects in Yunzhou, and it is the inheritance left by the true immortal. The divine passage method in the sect is so weird that if ordinary dignitaries were sealed here, they would die without knowing how.
, not to mention getting rich, so the Mu family can live a leisurely life.
"Kakuya Castle!"
Memories of this city flashed through Mu Cangxuan's mind. He glanced across the city and towards the peak deep in the mountain, where the Lingpuppet Sect was located.
The Lingpuppet Sect also seems to have a form of earth-shaking supernatural power passed down to the world.
The magical power is called ‘Sending Staff’.
The spirit boat landed in the center of the city, where the Marquis Yun Mansion was located.
Compared with the one in Chang'an City, this mansion is so big that it can no longer be called a mansion, but can be called a city within a city.
"Have a safe journey, ancestor."
A middle-aged man, leading several juniors, greeted him under the spirit boat early.
As soon as Mu Yunsheng stepped out of the spirit boat, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Then his eyes fell on Mu Cangxuan and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, I haven't seen you in more than ten years, and you have grown up."
"Meet the second uncle."
Mu Cangxuan bowed and bowed in greeting. This person was the second eldest in the previous generation and his name was Mu Qingxie.
Of course, he is also a strong competitor for Marquis Yun. He is just over fifty and has already cultivated in the Nascent Soul realm, which shows that he has good qualifications.
"Haha, my second uncle has heard about what happened in the Kunwu Mountains."
Mu Qingxie's eyes flashed sternly, and he said in a deep voice: "That one was too much bullying, you did a great job. Come back now, don't feel any burden, we are all your backing."
"It's just your mouth."
Mu Yunsheng glanced at him and glanced towards the mansion.
Princess Qingyuan walked down slowly, and several people stopped and whispered. Mu Qingxie took a few steps closer and saw the ceremony. Several family members of the mansion quickly stepped forward to hold Princess Qingyuan and exchanged some affectionate words. Qingyuan seemed to
I felt a little uncomfortable, and when I looked over several times, Mu Cangxuan looked helpless.
In the end, Qingyuan was taken away by several aunts and sisters-in-law.
"Let's go and meet our ancestor first."
Mu Yunye waved his hand to collect the spirit boat, and the three of them headed deeper into the Yunhou Mansion.
Jiaoya City is built on a spiritual stone vein, and it is also a vein with very rich mineral deposits.
After the establishment of the mansion, the Yunhou lineage, after dozens of generations of management and reinforcement, built the ancestral land with the spirit stone vein as the core, which can be used for the cultivation of the children in the mansion.
The ancestors of the Mu family usually stay in seclusion deep in their ancestral land.
Along the way, there were many formation restrictions.
The rich spiritual energy turned into mist, covering an area and never seeing the light of day all year round.
The three of them stopped in front of a 100-foot hill. Mu Yunsheng took out his token and swiped it, and the stone wall opened, revealing a huge and deep passage.
In the passage, there is abundant spiritual energy.
Mu Cangxuan followed Mu Yunsheng all the way down. On both sides of the passage, spiritual stones were inlaid on the stone walls, shining like gems.
Walking all the way down is more than a thousand feet.
Mu Cangxuan made a rough count and found that the number of spiritual stones on both sides of this passage alone was one hundred thousand.
And this is just a corner of this spiritual stone vein. The entire spiritual stone vein is probably worth millions. The wealth of the powerful people really opened Mu Cangxuan's eyes. Of course, this mineral vein, Yun Houyi
The vein has been regarded as ancestral land and will not be mined easily.
Leave as is and use in moderation.
The spiritual power of this place will be endless, and it will be an inheritance for eternity.
Many sects do this.
Therefore, this is why spiritual stones are rare on the market, and in fact, no one is willing to dig for them.
Mu Cangxuan didn't know how deep he had gone underground, but in front of the passage, a field suddenly opened up, revealing a field the size of two football fields.
The huge cave is also surrounded by spiritual stones.
The rich spiritual energy formed a pool of spiritual liquid below, which was bottomless. In the center of the pool, a stone platform several feet in diameter protruded.
Mu Cangxuan looked at it and couldn't move his eyes away.
What kind of stone platform is this, but a spiritual stone, all green and green, exuding a strong breath of life. It is actually a rare wood spiritual stone, and it is so huge, which really refreshes Mu Cangxuan's understanding.
Generally speaking, spiritual stones are condensed from pure spiritual energy and do not have any attributes.
In some special environments, such as in the spirit stone veins, the wood energy is extremely strong, and when combined with the spiritual energy, wood spirit stones will be produced.
This kind of spirit stone is rarer and more expensive than spirit stones without attributes.
Mu Cangxuan also has a few attribute spirit stones.
However, compared to the area in the middle of the deep pool, it is really different.
There is a tree growing on top of the spiritual stone, and an old man is sitting cross-legged under the tree.
The old man's aura was not obvious. He looked very peaceful like the old man next door. Mu Cangxuan could not feel any pressure or the aura of a practitioner from him.
"This person is very strong, probably even stronger than the Gold and Silver Saint King!"
Mu Cangxuan's pupils narrowed slightly, and when his eyes fell on the tree behind the old man, the look of surprise in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Shockingly, it was another fairy root.
The tree is one foot or three feet tall, and its stems and branches are all silvery white. On the thin branches, there are thunder threads hanging down, changing into different colors. Each color is a kind of divine thunder.
Mu Cangxuan counted them carefully and found that there were as many as thirty-six kinds.
The thunder threads entangled and collided with each other, making a sizzling sound, and a divine bow loomed in the thunder. It seemed to be an illusion by chance, but also seemed to have a real object, mysterious and abnormal.
"Nine Treasures Wonderful Tree!"
An idea flashed in Mu Cangxuan's mind and he recognized this tree.
Some time ago, in order to gather enough Five Elements Immortal Spiritual Energy, Ning Yi checked a lot of information on immortal roots, and had a fairly detailed understanding of the immortal roots recorded in the information.
The fairy root in front of me looks very much like the Nine Treasures Tree.
This tree is extraordinary. It breeds nine treasures. When mature, each one becomes an immortal weapon. Among the immortal roots, this tree is so majestic that it can be ranked among the top five.
You must know that ordinary immortal roots can only breed one regular avenue.
Nine treasures are wonderful trees, but they give birth to nine branches.
One tree is comparable to nine trees, and each avenue has extraordinary power, which is far from being comparable to the fairy roots of the fairy peach tree. But what makes Mu Cangxuan a little unsure is that although the tree in front of him is somewhat like the Nine Treasures Tree
, that’s why there is only one treasure.
"I've met the Eighth Patriarch."
Mu Yunsheng bowed and saluted with a very respectful attitude.
Mu Cangxuan also followed him and bowed.
The Eighth Patriarch smiled and nodded, ignoring Mu Yunsheng. His eyes fell on Mu Cangxuan. His eyes were filled with spiritual light. He looked up and down a few times and said with a smile: "You know this tree."
"Return to the Eighth Patriarch."
Mu Cangxuan nodded and said: "I once saw information on a fairy root. The one in front of me looks a bit like the legendary Nine Treasures Tree."
"good."
Hearing this, the Eighth Patriarch smiled and nodded, very calmly, and said: "This tree was obtained from the secret realm of Leize. It should be the legendary Nine Treasure Tree. As for why there is only one kind of treasure, I guess it may be because of that tree.
A senior split it apart with great magic power."
"The younger generation will be taught."
Mu Cangxuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect the old man to tell such a secret so frankly. Moreover, when he mentioned the Leize Secret Realm, Mu Cangxuan felt a little strange. But the word "secret realm" was unusual. It specifically meant
The relics or inheritance left by the true immortals.
Does the Mu family control a true immortal ruins?
"You are very good."
The Eighth Patriarch did not dwell on the last topic, and said in a deep voice: "Yun Sheng told me everything on the road. Being able to invite that rabbit is also considered your ability. I tested you, and you did a good job.
"
"Don't dare."
Mu Cangxuan looked happy, but his words were very modest.
"Since Duke Mu, the Mu family has gradually divided into seven branches. If our branch branches out from the Yunhou Mansion, it will become eight branches."
There was a look of reminiscence in the old eyes of the Eighth Patriarch, and he said: "I have always been optimistic about the separation of the family. When the family gets bigger, it is difficult for everyone to reconcile, but it is easy to fall into internal strife and eventually decline. Look at our Mu family, although
It is divided into seven, but overall, instead of weakening, it is actually stronger than before. Qingming wants to integrate the Mu family into one, but I don't agree with it."
Mu Cangxuan was a little surprised. What the Eighth Patriarch said was not unreasonable.
The divided Mu family could not form a joint force, so the threat to the royal family was small.
However, for the entire Mu family, it is a good way to maintain vitality. After all, every time a branch is branched, it frees up a lot of resources internally and reduces internal competition and friction. Externally, this branch is branched out.
A branch can survive only by carving out enough territory, which is equivalent to clearing up wasteland.
Perhaps it was because many senior members of the Mu clan had the same ideas as the Eighth Patriarch that the royal family's conspiracy often succeeded.
"Okay, you are the pulse master, and it is up to you to decide what happens next."
The Eighth Patriarch's eyes fell on Mu Yunsheng and said in a deep voice: "Yunsheng, you are here to assist the pulse master. Remember, we are from the same vein. We must be careful about everything and don't do anything too extreme."
"Yes, the Eighth Patriarch!"
The two of them bowed and saluted, slowly took two steps back, turned around and walked outside.
Along the way, Mu Cangxuan thought about the words of the Eighth Patriarch. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, and a slight chill could not help but rise in his heart.
Mu's pool was deeper than he imagined.
The old guy, the Eighth Patriarch, seemed amiable, but in fact he was very domineering. After meeting, although he didn't say much, he made a circle for himself as the leader of the bloodline.
"Hey, now that I have become the pulse master, everything is not up to you."
Mu Cangxuan sneered in his heart. The water in Mu's pool was too deep. Only by mixing it up could one see how many big fish were hidden.
