Adjustments
After a Lineage Assembly, the Yang Household underwent significant changes in all aspects, and its development momentum became even stronger.
Purple Moon Town, now with a population of 250,000, is undoubtedly extremely prosperous.
Especially in the central area, because the headquarters of the Purple Moon Trading Company was established here, many Rogue Cultivators were attracted here, and many Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Lineage also sent people to rent shops here, thinking that they could take advantage of their proximity.
At this moment, on the top floor of the Purple Moon Pavilion, Yang Tianjiu sat on the right side of the table with a smile on his face.
Opposite him stood a middle-aged man in a white robe, with a dark complexion and a somewhat cunning look.
The middle-aged man rubbed the glass in his hand, chuckling as he spoke, "Daoist Friends, you want three Third Tier Spirit Items right now? Are you planning to hold Auction immediately?"
"Daoist Wang is right. The Lineage has agreed to the Auction proposal, so I plan to officially hold the Lineage's first Golden Core Core-level Auction in two years!"
"Oh?" The Wang Surname Cultivator's eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "In that case, how can I not give Daoist Friends face... However, I wonder how Daoist Friends is doing with the collection of those first and second-tier Spirit Items?"
He rubbed his hands together, his cheeks furrowing slightly, making his cunning and sly nature even more apparent.
"Hehe, how could I not take what Daoist Wang entrusted to me seriously? This is the first batch of Spirit Items worth a total of 80,000 Spirit Stones. As per your request, half of them are various Demon Beast materials." Yang Tianjiu smiled gently as he spoke, handing a Storage Bag to the Wang Surname Cultivator opposite him.
The latter hurriedly reached out, hooked his five fingers, and opened the Storage Bag with great skill. He scanned it with his Spiritual Awareness and saw the dazzling array of resources inside. He immediately beamed with joy.
"Daoist Friends so generous. I, Old Wang, am not one to treat friends unfairly. Here are two low-grade Third-Tier Lower-Grade Spirit Items. Take them. Within half a month, I will have someone send two more Third Tier Spirit Items. The extra one is my Daoist Friends on your successful Auction. Of course, the Spirit Stones you should pay for it cannot be reduced." The Wang Surname Cultivator also handed over a Storage Bag.
"Hahaha, Daoist Wang is truly a remarkable person! I, Yang Tianjiu, am determined to be your friend. Come, come, let's drink this cup to the brim!" Yang Tianjiu picked up the wine cup on the table and said loudly.
At the foot of Yang Household Purple Moon Mountain stands a magnificent Palace. Although the materials used are quite ordinary, judging from its appearance alone, this building can be considered one of the top ten in the entire Purple Moon Mountain.
Inside the Palace, a young Qi Refining who was drinking and making merry was taken away by several Yang Household Cultivators who suddenly barged in.
They were all dressed in dark purple robes, with a golden badge engraved with a sharp blade hanging on their chests.
"Gentlemen, let's talk this out. I haven't done anything terribly wrong. I just played around with a few female cultivators. Is it really worth making such a fuss?... My grandfather is Foundation Establishment in the Lineage. You'd better think twice..."
The young man with fair skin kept shouting, but the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall completely ignored him.
First, they sealed his Dantian, then used a special Law Artifact to pierce his collarbone, and then, like dragging a dead dog, threw him into the Lineage Prison to await final judgment.
There are three other members of the Yang Household like him.
When these people were taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall, they all shouted and yelled, and some even tried to resist, taking out their Law Artifact to kill their own kind.
Ironically, with his weak and feeble cultivation level, how could he possibly harm a shrewd and capable disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall?
His cultivation was directly abolished, and he was thrown into a prison filled with cold Sha Qi. He died within a few days.
These wicked and dissolute young men were all from the Xuan Generation and Yu Generations; fortunately, there were only four of them.
After being dealt with Thunder by the Lineage, the atmosphere within the entire Lineage immediately became much clearer.
This tactic also frightened those spoiled brats who hadn't committed any evil deeds.
Some of them were so frightened that they dared not leave their homes for months or even a year, fearing that they would be directly arrested by the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Of course, there were also some who considered themselves upright and fearless, who continued to drink and make merry every day, indulging in extravagant pleasures with their wives and living a life of debauchery.
Take, for example, Yang Xuanle of the Yang Household.
This Yang Household Members is now quite famous within the Lineage, not because of anything else, but because of his offspring.
Yang Xuanle, who is only twenty-four years old this year, has one principal wife, three secondary wives, and eight concubines.
Among them were four Cultivators who lived with him on Purple Moon Mountain.
The remaining concubines were all Mortal, so they had to be kept in Purple Moon Town.
The number of his children was directly proportional to the number of his wives and concubines.
This Yang Xuanle, perhaps due to some special constitution, has an exceptionally high probability of giving birth to offspring.
In just five or six years, he had already had twelve offspring, five of whom possessed Spirit Roots.
Because of this, he lived quite well simply by relying on his Lineage's maternity allowance.
They even received more than the clansmen who worked hard to complete their Lineage tasks.
At this moment, in the courtyard where Yang Xuanle lived, he was playing a popular Tile Game in Purple Moon Town with his wives and concubines, occasionally letting out excited shouts.
"Husband, will the Lineage's Law Enforcement Hall come knocking on our door?" A wife put down her playing cards, her face showing worry.
"What are you afraid of? I'm asking you, did our family steal from someone else, or did we rob someone else?"
I have always married and taken concubines in a proper and respectful manner, never neglecting the proper etiquette. Moreover, I have given birth to five members of the Lineage who possess Spirit Roots. I dare not say I have done anything meritorious, but I am absolutely without fault!
After Yang Xuanle finished speaking, he touched the cards in his hand and scoffed, "Those Yang Xuanqi and the others are just idiots in my eyes."
"Our Lineage has only recently been promoted to Golden Core Household, a time of great potential and growth. Yet they insist on throwing cold water on our plans and damaging Lineage reputation. They have absolutely no sense of propriety. It would be strange if the Lineage didn't punish them!"
"If you want women, just go and propose marriage. With our Lineage's strength, those female cultivators from lesser families would be eager to marry into our family and enjoy a life of luxury."
"Use force? That's utterly foolish!"
The female cultivators nearby, after hearing Yang Xuanle's words, felt for the first time that this husband seemed to have many merits.
At least in terms of insight and awareness, they are absolutely top-notch and know how to seize opportunities!
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore, it'll ruin our mood. Let's keep playing, and after we're done, we'll go to the Academy to visit Bao'er and the others!"
As Yang Xuanle had predicted, no one cared how extravagant a clansman's life was, as long as he hadn't violated Clan Rules!
In the central area of Purple Moon Town, the branch hall of the Yang Household's Attendant Hall is located here, and the endless stream of people stretches far into the distance.
A newly arrived cultivator from Purple Moon Town, unfamiliar with the area, asked the Cultivators in line, "May I ask, Daoist Friends, why is there such a long queue here?"
"Are you new to Purple Moon Town?" The Cultivator was a bearded man with a forthright and easygoing personality, who asked in a very casual manner.
"That's right. I originally lived in Clearwind City, but later I heard that Purple Moon Town was developing well, so I wanted to come and give it a try to see if I could get some fortuitous opportunities!"
"You've come to the right place. The Yang Household's Attendant Hall is recruiting sixty-one worshippers. As long as you have a skill, a clean background, and can pass the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation, you'll have a chance to join."
"At that time, you will receive a fixed salary. If you perform well, you can be promoted to the Inner Hall cultivator and even have the opportunity to marry into the Yang Household."
"That's Golden Core Household! Just an Early Qi Refining receives a stipend of twenty Spirit Stones a year, not to mention the Contribution Points they get for completing Lineage tasks..." The burly man with the thick beard spoke eloquently, his face filled with longing.
What is the Yang Household's reputation like?
"The reputation is also good. There are very few Yang Household Member who bully others by abusing their power. Even if there are, they are quickly taken away by the Lineage's Law Enforcement Hall and severely punished."
In the past month, I've heard that four Yang Household Members have been imprisoned for misbehaving and violating Clan Rules.
This action made the Rogue Cultivators living in Purple Moon Town even more respectful of the Yang Household. Otherwise, why do you think so many Rogue Cultivators would want to join the Yang Household?
"Isn't it because of the good benefits, bright future, and the Lineage's excellent reputation?"
"I see, then I'll have to give it a try!" The Middle-aged Cultivator nodded thoughtfully, then asked with a smile, "After all this time, I still don't Daoist Friends!"
"Me? You can call me Yan Xia Ke!"
"Yan Xia Ke? I am Wang Shan!"
