Spirit Mountains Abound, the Six Sects Emerge!
Various actions...
all verified what Gongsun Zhe had said back then!
Low and middle realm warriors were nothing more than cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses, bean dregs and bran serving as beast feed, yet nowadays they were what countless warriors pursued...
The Qin Clan went from farmers to landlords.
The teenager who slew the dragon eventually became an evil dragon himself, maintaining the facade of the upper-tier cultivators and whitewashed a peaceful and prosperous era...
The so-called cultivation holy land was actually the cultivation holy land of the Qin Clan.
However...
So what?
Would you care how many slices of bread you ate, how many human blood steamed buns you ate?
As for Spirit Medicine Peak...
it was controlled by the Zhao Family, cultivating low-tier spirit medicines in batches for the Qin Clan...
and divided into countless medicine gardens from top to bottom.
Near the mountain peak, the spiritual fields were of better quality, and several kinds of second-tier spirit medicines or first-tier special varieties were planted...
These...
some had been collected in recent years, while others were spirit seeds left behind by the Qi Clan.
Among them, the most valuable was a kind of spiritual flower called the Nine-Mystic Spirit Pagoda, which matured one flower every ten years and could accumulate nine maturities in total...
The nine flowers were stacked layer upon layer like a pagoda, brimming with Spiritual Qi and possessing the efficacy of consolidating one's foundation and nurturing Qi.
Its flower was precisely a chief ingredient for the Qi Condensation Pill!
If one could spend a hundred years to make it mature nine times, it would be a second-tier superior Origin-Nurturing Spiritual Object, which could assist in Qi condensation and add thirty percent to the chance of Qi condensation!
That is to say...
nurturing this flower for a hundred years meant one Qi Condensation Pill, thereby guaranteeing a continuous stream of Qi condensation cultivators for the lineage, truly forming the foundation of the lineage...
As long as the user had sufficient natural endowment, coupled with numerous treasures to protect them.
In the future, the Qin Family would, with high probability, not decline due to a lack of Qi condensation cultivators!
As for Spirit Tea Peak...
this peak had the fewest spiritual fields, but its quality was the highest of all peaks, tended on ordinary days by the Han Family, and its Awakening Soul Tea Trees numbered around a hundred!
Through selection, cultivation, and breeding over these years,
Qin Hui successfully cultivated the Tea King to a second-tier inferior spirit plant, which was the first self-cultivated second-tier spirit plant of the Qin Clan!
When it completely transformed, its Spiritual Qi-gathering efficacy would rival a small-scale Spirit Gathering Formation...
Drinking tea for a long time could even slightly enhance soul strength, and although there was a certain upper limit, it was also a rare thing in the world!
Therefore...
Qin Hui was stationed here for a long time, as it was one of the vital territories of the Qin Clan!
"The bran and bean dregs are used up?"
"Then send another batch to Spirit Deer Peak. Nurturing spiritual beasts is of the utmost importance and must not be neglected."
"By the way, take some deer demon blood to use for watering the Awakening Soul Tea Tree this month. Calculating the days, in another short while, we can pick the tea..."
"Have the people below pay careful attention and make no mistakes."
Qin Hui put down the jade slip, wearing a dark cyan profound robe, silently observing everything, coupled with a cultured bearing that seemed eternally unruffled...
"Yes!"
"We obey the young master's decree!"
A servant bowed in acknowledgment, turned and retreated, not daring to delay even the slightest bit...
Except for the four peaks mentioned above...
Qin Xiao, serving as the young patriarch, subsequently established the Three Halls and Two Peaks...
The three halls were: the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, the Attendant Hall, and the Law Enforcement Hall!
Their rationale...
Opening outward with the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, the Qin Clan would irregularly scatter missions to stimulate numerous Jianghu warriors or small families to execute missions...
First, it could mobilize manpower to help search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures...
Second, it was to screen for strong individuals while resolving some minor troubles...
Third, it was to avoid risks, allowing these low and middle-tier warriors to use their lives to probe...
This was the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall...
Subsequently, after layers of screening, those whose character and cultivation were both superior...
would receive an invitation from the Qin Clan to join its Attendant Hall, becoming its attendants, or founding sects and propagating their lineages to become subordinate forces of the Qin Clan!
Forming new supporters!
At the same time...
some high-risk missions or escort missions were dispatched by the Attendant Hall...
Most of those who could enter this hall had already submitted to the Qin for many years, counting as reliable confidants who could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities in the future...
This was: the Attendant Hall!
The final Law Enforcement Hall consisted of those who had completely succumbed to the Qin Clan and were willing to be servant clans.
Which meant ultimately, well-trained good dogs and loyal hounds!
They stood completely behind the Qin Clan, becoming the whip in the hands of the Qin Clan, for example: the Wang, Zhao, Han, Yan, Chu, and Meng...
These families were already deeply bound to the Qin Clan!
They would fight for the interests of the Qin Clan and were therefore the best candidates to serve as law enforcement personnel...
Their primary duty was to monitor the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and the Attendant Hall, using outsiders against outsiders, and finally having the Qin family members step forward to play the good cop so as to gather popular support!
This was...
the Three Halls Governance Method formulated by Qin Xiao!
Using regulations to govern regulations, and regulations to govern all things!
As for the so-called two peaks,
they were: Broad Spirit Peak and Cavern Profound Peak!
The former, Broad Spirit Peak, was open to the outside and provided a total of over six hundred cave abodes, divided into upper, middle, and lower grades, which could be leased externally...
and could also be used as rewards for the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall!
To this end...
Qin Xiao specially designed a kind of: Cave Abode Voucher!
With this voucher, one could cultivate inside a cave abode on Broad Spirit Peak for ten days...
If spiritual power concentration was rated from 1 to 10, then the Spiritual Qi concentration of Yingchuan was 1, while within Ba City it was 2 to 3...
The Twenty-Four Peaks were 4 to 6, and Muxuan Mountain was 7 to 9!
For low and middle-tier warriors, being able to cultivate on Broad Spirit Peak for a month...
was comparable to bitterly cultivating in the city for several months! Compared to outside Ba City, it was even more exaggerated, with one month being comparable to half a year of cultivation accumulation!
Such a smooth cultivation experience...
unknown how many low and middle-tier warriors it caused to indulge within it!
Their happiest moments were when they worked themselves to the bone to gather three Cave Abode Vouchers so they could smoothly cultivate for over a month, which could be called rapid progress...
As for... Cavern Profound Peak,
it was Qin Xiao's private territory, inherited by the eldest son's line of the Qin Clan!...
The situations of the other peaks were roughly similar.
Third brother Qin Wu had spent years mingling in the military, so two peaks were specially established...
One was: Military Martial Peak!
Specially training elite legions, such as the Qin Elite Soldiers and the Black Dragon Legion, which were stationed here year-round...
The second was: Golden Sharpness Peak,
which was the private territory of Qin Wu's lineage, inside which countless sabers, halberds, swords, and spears were placed, externally nourished by Spiritual Power to engender Golden Sharpness Qi!
Fourth brother Qin Wen only opened one peak, named: Wenge Peak!
Carrying on the lineage of Qin Wen's heritage, it was both a private territory and where the lineage heritage was located, upon which Wenge Pavilion was established, housing tens of thousands of volumes of archives and classics...
Inside...
innumerable items of knowledge and experience were recorded, and even some inheritances were all placed within!
If anyone coveted them, well, they could just go ahead and try.
A True Martial Eighth Realm warrior had once broken in, and when his corpse was found, he had already turned into a pile of white bones, becoming blood food for some sort of creature!
According to rumors...
a High Antiquity great demon, which was the spirit beast of the Qin Ancestor, lived in seclusion on this peak!
Hence it guarded this place!
Finally, fifth brother Qin Zhao...
was divided into: Black Dragon Peak and Dao-Seeking Peak!
The former, Black Dragon Peak, was the headquarters of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, responsible for the management rights of all commercial routes, waterways, and shops subordinate to the Qin Clan...
The latter, Dao-Seeking Peak,
was where Qin Zhao went into secluded cultivation year-round, and also where his heritage was located...
Thus the six sects initially appeared, and the spirit mountains each stood!
As for the remaining ten peaks, they were temporarily put on hold to plant spirit grasses and trees, consolidating the ley-line Spiritual Power to let it nourish slowly...
