Priced at Three Hundred Spirit Stones
It's quite simple. Ye Hailiang, who was already terrified, did whatever Tang Tiandong said in order to save his life.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the courtyard was filled with people of all ages, more than a hundred members of the Ye Household.
"Sis, don't get your hands dirty, let me do it." Tang Tiandong breathed a cold sigh of relief.
In less than twenty breaths, all one hundred members of the Ye Household had their hearts pierced by Tang Tiandong.
Splash!
The entire Ye Household fell down in unison.
Cui Xueyong, who had just entered the courtyard, was also shocked by the tragic state of the Ye Household.
"Brother Xueyong, what if my third sister and I fail?"
"Our Tang Household, and even some of Tang Household close Lineage, didn't fare much better." Tang Tiandong expressionlessly used his Clothes-Cleaning Technique to remove the bloodstains from his body.
"I understand. This is the damned fate that the Ye Household deserves."
Mercy to the enemy is malice to oneself. This Iron Bridge Village is also a relatively large village.
Besides the Ye Household, Iron Bridge Village has approximately 700 households and over 3,600 people.
"To avenge Tiansong, how about we kill them all, leaving no one alive?" Cui Xueyong asked tentatively.
"My father said that the Tang Household should not be killed unjustly."
My older brother is also a kind-hearted person, and he doesn't like killing.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor; killing the Ye Household will suffice." Tang Tiandong said calmly.
After a few moments of contemplation, Cui Xueyong said, "Tiandong, Tianzi, in principle, all the land, resources, and people in Iron Bridge Village now belong to your Tang Household."
However, Iron Bridge Village is still hundreds of miles away from Eight Springs Village under the jurisdiction of your Tang Household.
Moreover, there's Ji Household Village in between, which makes it quite troublesome for your Tang Household to manage.
Less than a hundred miles south of Iron Bridge Village lies the sphere of influence of my Cui Household.
I have a suggestion: how about we sell Iron Bridge Village to my Cui Household?
"My eldest brother is gone, and now Tiandong makes all the important decisions for the clan." Tang Tianzi nodded.
"My Tang Household killed the Ye Household, the original clan leader of Iron Bridge Village, and now we are taking over. It is inevitable that some people in Iron Bridge Village will be dissatisfied."
Selling everything in Iron Bridge Village to your Cui Household is indeed a good suggestion.
"But I really don't know how much it should be priced?" Tang Tiandong stroked his stubble.
"Your Tang Household owns coal and copper mines, so of course you don't care much about gold and silver."
Iron Bridge Village doesn't have any particularly noteworthy local products, but it does have a considerable amount of spiritual fields.
It turns out that these spirit fields were abandoned in the hands of the Ye Household, but our Cui Household can use them to grow spirit rice.
I estimate that these spirit fields can produce about 200 catties of spirit rice per year.
One Spirit Stone can buy about thirty catties of spirit rice.
Thus... the entire Iron Bridge Village is valued at three hundred Spirit Stone.
Within six months, the Cui Household will give the Tang Household three hundred Spirit Stone, and the entire Iron Bridge Village will be under the jurisdiction of the Cui Household.
Then, ten years later, the Cui Household will give the Tang Household fifty catties of spirit rice every year. Tiandong, what do you think?"Cui Xueyong looked at Tang Tianzi. " Tianzi, if it's valued at three hundred Spirit Stone, the Cui Household will make a small profit."
My father wouldn't agree if I didn't make some money.
However, even if the Tang Household receives three hundred Spirit Stone, it can solve their immediate crisis: the Tang Household's cultivators need to improve their cultivation level as soon as possible, and they are short of Spirit Stone everywhere.
"Ten years later, the Cui Household will still have to give my Tang Household fifty catties of spirit rice every year."
"If that's the case, won't the Cui Household start to suffer losses ten years from now?" Tang Tiandong frowned slightly.
"My Cui Household will not suffer a loss." Cui Xueyong waved his hand.
"These spiritual fields will become mature fields after ten years of cultivation."
Cultivated fields and the surrounding land will naturally grow some spiritual herbs, and will also attract some spiritual frogs and insects.
The value of these magical herbs, frogs, and insects may far exceed that of the magical rice.
Of course, if you don't plant spirit rice, you won't attract spirit insects.
"Brother Mingfei, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about finance and agriculture."
"You could totally be the head of a large cultivation Lineage." Tang Tiandong bowed with admiration.
"Hehe, I, Cui Xueyong, don't crave power, nor do I want to endure hardship; I only want to live a carefree life with my beloved." Cui Xueyong raised an eyebrow and looked at Tang Tianzi.
Tang Tiandong was about to speak when he heard a voice behind him.
His brows furrowed immediately, his expression turning menacing. "Tang Jincan, now that you're awake, tell me what you should do."
"Tiandong, Tianzi, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."
I really didn't expect that damned Ye Hailiang to set a trap to kill Tiansong.
For the sake of your uncle and father, spare my life.
"I can get out of Dangwu Village right now and never come back." When Tang Jincan saw the river of blood in the courtyard, he immediately burst into tears and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"You want to marry a woman from the Ye Household, and the entire Tang Household disagrees, but you insist on marrying her anyway."
Although you weren't involved in my brother's murder, it was all because of you.
Later, you spied on my backyard from the back mountain. I wanted to kill you then, but my older brother stopped me.
For the past five years, my elder brother has been advising you and trying to promote you, but what have you done?!
Tang Jincan, tell me, how could you face my older brother?
"How could you do this to the Tang Household?" Tang Tiandong gritted his teeth in hatred.
Tang Tiandong also understood that even if Tang Jincan did not marry a woman from the Ye Household, the enemy would still come to harm the Tang Household.
But if Tang Jincan hadn't married a woman from the Ye Household, and if his elder brother Tang Tiansong hadn't come to Iron Bridge Village, with a bunch of younger brothers and sisters and the presence of the Mystic Spoon Immortal Venerable in the family, perhaps his elder brother Tang Tiansong wouldn't have died.
Bang...
"I was wrong, I was wrong."
Tiandong, we're cousins, how could I possibly harm you...?
"Oh, I know, it's all Tang Miao's doing!" Tang Jincan suddenly raised his head and said sinisterly, "Tiandong, you all don't know, but Tang Miao was actually adopted by my father, your second uncle."
My uncle didn't know about this either; only my father and mother knew.
Those Non-Self kind will surely have different hearts.
Tang Miao is not a Tang Household at all; all these things must have been caused by Tang Miao.
It's possible that Tang Miao was behind Tiansong's death as well.
Look, this time Tiansong is dead, but Tang Miao got away."
Tang Tiandong and Tang Tianzi frowned immediately: they really didn't know that Tang Miao was adopted by their second uncle.
However, they would never believe that Tang Miao was also involved in the murder of Tang Tiansong.
Not to mention from childhood to adulthood, Tang Miao has always had a very good relationship with Tang Tiansong and his siblings.
A few years ago, when fighting Demon Beast in Three Graves Mountain, Tang Miao also took the lead, completely disregarding his own life and death.
Tang Miao was always modest in allocating Cultivation Resources.
Although no one said it, everyone knew that Tang Miao's feelings for Tang Tianlan were romantic love, which was why Tang Miao chose to go to Emptiness and Form Temple in Ji Household Village to practice Buddhism.
Meanwhile, through questioning Ye Hailiang and the three dead cultivators from Northern Province, it was found that Tang Miao had not participated in the plot to murder Tang Tiansong at all.
It seems that the three of them saw Tang Tiandong Kongming Emptiness and Form Temple fighting a masked cultivator in Ji Household Village because they were rescuing Tang Miao.
Even if there are doubts, Tang Miao should not be dead, and we can confront him later.
Tang Tiandong sneered, "Even if Tang Jincan and Tang Miao aren't Tang Household..."
But from childhood to adulthood, he has always cherished you and Jin Feng so much.
You're actually framing Tang Miao for your own sake.
You... don't deserve to live.
"Tiandong, you can't kill me, we're cousins."
The Tang Household must never kill each other; this is a clan rule set by the eldest uncle!
Even if I'm utterly worthless, you'll still get your retribution if you kill me.
"Tang Tiandong, if you want to kill me, you must kill my younger brother Tang Jin Feng, and my father and mother as well!" Tang Jincan was desperate and making a last-ditch effort.
Tang Tiandong frowned. "Fratricide is indeed against the Heavenly Dao."
Seeing Tang Tiandong's troubled expression, Cui Xueyong angrily cursed, "Tang Jincan, you are the scourge of the Tang Household!"
For the sake of the Tang Household, Tiandong should kill you.
"Cui Xueyong, who do you think you are?!"
"This is a matter for the Tang Household, and it's none of your business as an outsider." Tang Jincan said with a look of disdain.
Cui Xueyong smiled, "I've found a pretext for murder. Tang Jincan, you really are arrogant as ever. You look down on everyone."
I am a cultivator, after all, and I am the eldest son of the Cui Household!
You dare to insult me? Given the nature of the Cui Household, I should tear you to pieces.
But considering you're Tang Household, I'll take pity on you and leave you with a complete corpse.
It happened so fast, it was almost instantaneous.
Cui Xueyong pierced Tang Jincan's heart with a single sword strike.
Tang Tiandong and his sister stared at the dead Tang Jincan without even lifting their eyelids...
