Before long, a house was built on the top floor of Wangyun Mountain, only about 300 meters away from Wangyun Courtyard.
The house is small and exquisite, and many parts look specially decorated. You can tell at a glance that the occupant is a woman, because a man wouldn't decorate it in such a flashy way.
An Qinglian didn't slack off either, working very hard to modify the appearance of the flowers and plants.
It must be said that women's aesthetic sense is indeed much better. In just half a day, the summit of Wangyun Mountain has become much more beautiful, giving it the feel of a wealthy man's backyard.
On the road I frequently walk on, there's even a path specially paved with gravel.
It's so much better than before.
An Qinglian even caught some small animals in the Mountain Forest. These animals were all Demon Beast, quite intelligent, but they were all gentle and would not attack humans on their own initiative.
Among them was a large white dog, which also had a faint aura of Demon Beast, First-Order Demonic Beast.
The big dog often likes to roam through the Mountain Forest, and whenever it sees Su Chen, it will climb up and rub against him.
Su Chen glanced at the summit of Wangyun Mountain, a slight smile appearing on his lips. It seemed that leaving An Qinglian here was the right choice.
In this way.
Another ten years Past.
The Eastern Domain remained quiet for ten years, during which time almost nothing changed.
As the Su Family's influence expanded, they also gained a deeper understanding of the Eastern Domain.
In the Eastern Domain, there are not many Saint Tier forces, only about ten.
Three of them are at the Saint King Realm level, while the others are only at the Saint Realm.
Because Su Chen destroyed the Saint Guixu, only two Saint King Realm forces remained in the Eastern Domain.
However, there is one force that is rather unique.
His name is Dark Sentinel, an organization that exists throughout the entire Xuantian Realm and has a very mysterious background.
According to reports, the Dark Sentinel killed a Saint King Realm- level cultivator tens of thousands of years ago, and his strength was terrifying.
Therefore, Su Chen guessed that this Dark Sentinel was probably not a local force in the Eastern Domain.
Su Chen sat up from his chair and looked into the distance, his eyes turning slightly cold.
The Su Family has acted rather mildly for many years; it's time for them to make some adjustments.
For a power to grow stronger, it must have enough territory and enough vassals so that resources can be used by the Lineage.
The resources the Su Family has obtained from outside are simply not enough for their needs.
Without Su Chen's support, the Su Family's cultivation resources would have been greatly reduced.
Of course, even with reduced usage, it will certainly be sufficient to maintain its function.
Therefore, Su Chen plans to take drastic measures and unify the entire Eastern Domain.
However, this unification does not mean that all forces Submission; it only requires that the powerful King Tier and Saint Tier forces Submission.
These forces have countless vassals under their command; taking them down would essentially mean taking over the entire Eastern Domain.
In this way, the Su Family can be self-sufficient in resources.
After all, although Su Chen has many resources, they are not unlimited.
In addition to expanding its influence, the Su Family is also constantly building its own power base.
For example, half a year ago, the Su Family established a separate city called Wangyun City, which is Wangyun Mountain, and it has already reached a certain scale.
As the City Lord, the Su Family naturally have the right to collect taxes.
The tax was levied on people who did large businesses in the city, as well as on those who rented or sold houses in prime locations.
Although each of these may not amount to much, when added together, they still constitute a very considerable income.
Because the Su Family is now very powerful, with great influence and reputation, most of the land in Wangyun City was snapped up as soon as it was established.
Anyone with a bit of business acumen knows how powerful the Su Family is now.
As long as the Su Family is determined to develop Wangyun City, it will Certain become one of the top cities in the Eastern Domain in the Future.
Although the Su Family has expanded very moderately in recent years, it has not stopped expanding.
This indicates that the Su Family will Certain grow stronger in the Future. Moving into Wangyun City at this time is a highly likely investment that will bring in a lot of money, and it's a sure thing.
And that's exactly how things unfolded.
In just six months, Wangyun City became overcrowded, with forces from all directions pouring into Wangyun City.
Originally, this city was only similar to Bright Moon City, but it immediately became incredibly popular, and the Su Family has been busy expanding its territory recently.
They plan to expand Wangyun City to three times its original size.
The Su Family has already made a fortune from just Wangyun City.
All the land and houses in the entire city were sold to other powerful forces.
Although they are said to be sold, these houses are subject to tax Thirty Years, and the amount of tax is 20% of the current market value of the house.
After paying ten times, you will need to pay a heavy tax, which is about 70% of the market price.
This wasn't something Su Chen did; it's a common practice among most private cities in the Eastern Domain.
However, privatized cities are very rare in the Eastern Domain. Most cities are controlled by multiple forces at the same time. Unless you have absolute strength, it is difficult to completely control a city.
Because of the success of Wangyun City, the Su Family stopped recruiting Servants and only hired those with great talent.
This is a sign that a force is transforming into a powerful one.
Once Su Chen completely transforms from earning resources himself to having others earn resources for the Su Family, it will show that the Su Family has truly become stronger.
Just like in Wangyun City, the Su Family doesn't need to do anything. They only need to collect money regularly and maintain order. This doesn't require many people.
That's why the Su Family is starting to pursue a high-quality strategy.
If we wait Wangyun City has fully expanded, the profits will be truly terrifying.
However, there is another major drawback.
Although the Jinghong Empire is rich in Spiritual Qi, it is not particularly good enough to attract very strong people, especially cultivators above the Dao Entry Realm.
If cultivators of this level could all be persuaded to settle in Wangyun City, the profits would likely increase exponentially.
Su Chen looked thoughtful, considering whether to move again or stay and develop his business here.
A moment later, he had his answer.
Even if we just move to a different place, there will always be a better one. Are we going to keep moving around indefinitely?
"In that case, let's develop our business here from now on."
He's spent so many years at Wangyun Mountain and doesn't want to go anywhere else.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and a small golden tree appeared in his hand, emanating a wondrous Dao charm.
This tree is called the Phoenix God Tree, also known as the World Tree, and it is one of the few items he obtained from the lottery.
Even Su Chen only had eleven trees.
The effects of the Wutong Divine Book are also very simple: it can strengthen the Heavenly Dao Laws and, as it grows stronger, it will bring great help to the world it inhabits.
The most fundamental of these is enhancing the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth.
