The Chuanlong Minor Gathering: Prelude!
Wait for it to be subdued--
Qin Wu then stored the Golden-Winged Black Bird in the Spirit Beast Jade...
A Golden-Winged Black Bird pattern suddenly appeared on the jade tablet and was sealed inside.
This Spirit Beast Jade is not cheap. This one is equivalent to Second-Tier Law Artifact, worth fifty Spirit Stone. It is a rare magic Law Artifact that can store living creatures...
Both humans and animals can be placed inside.
The reason Qin Wu sought out the Golden-Winged Black Bird was because he had the idea of using a guardian spirit beast to protect the peak...
Qin Wu is no longer a child. As a madman who has experienced war and bloodshed, his thoughts have become increasingly calm and mature!
Although he was the most bloodthirsty and warlike among the second generation of the Qin dynasty...
But he is by no means a fool!
He still has two sons.
He had reached the age where he should be worrying about future generations, even though he was a Qi Condensation cultivator...
However, with its foundation firmly rooted in the military, among the six branches of the Qin Clan, only the Martial Branch lacked business acumen and financial acumen...
Ultimately, he was just a general.
The only one who can truly mobilize the clan's troops is the eldest brother, Qin Xiao!
He's alone, so maybe it's nothing.
But how will his Martial Branch continue and be passed down to the next generation and the generation after that?
The Lineage allocates resources, but as the number of members increases with each generation, how much will his descendants actually receive? In peaceful times...
How many battles will there be? And how many merits will be gained?
This forced Qin Wu to make plans early to ensure a good future for his descendants...
Therefore, Qin Wu, after his breakthrough --
They searched everywhere for resources, such as spiritual objects of the Metal Dao or Spirit Plant of the metal element, all in order to increase the foundation of Golden Sharpness Peak!
He learned about the Golden-Winged Black Bird by chance.
Subduing it was intended to cultivate it into a guardian spirit beast for his Martial Branch. Spirit beasts have long lifespans, ensuring the continuity of his lineage...
Secondly, it is for mass reproduction, so that they can serve as mounts and assist in combat, and their shed feathers are also excellent materials for refining weapons!
In order to continue the Martial Branch lineage--
Qin Wu even managed to obtain the clan's only First-Tier weapon-refining inheritance...
This will serve as the foundation of his Martial Branch lineage!
Although he lacked the necessary aptitude, his second son, Qin Mingzheng, was the first in the clan, besides Qin Lu, to possess a naturally powerful soul...
With the nourishment of the Soul-Awakening Tea, his soul strength barely reached the standard for cultivating the Four Arts!
Therefore, Qin Wu had to search far and wide for resources to prepare for his youngest son's future and pave the Dao Path for his success...
"I've been away for almost half a year now..."
"Judging by the time, the Chuanlong Minor Gathering, which took a year to set up, should begin soon..."
Thinking of this--
Qin Wu then flew away, speeding northward through the air...
We traveled along the way, stopping frequently to admire the magnificent landscapes and experience the local customs and traditions. We also encountered many caravans along the way!
These caravans varied in size.
Powerful ones use demon horses to pull carts, or various exotic camel-like beasts...
The weak are driven by ordinary beasts, and their spiritual creatures are scarce and of low quality...
These Immortal Cultivation forces from all corners of the land all headed north, towards the Yingchuan region...
As we traveled north...
The caravans we encountered were becoming more and more numerous and stronger!
I even saw flying boats soaring through the sky, heading straight for the northern mountains, and giant beasts treading across the mountainous terrain...
A gigantic black tortoise, with two thick tusks growing from its neck, exuded a powerful aura, reaching the Second-Tier Medium Grade!
A small building was even built on the huge turtle's back!
The further north you go, the more breathtaking the scenery becomes!
They entered Longchuan Prefecture.
Warrior are almost everywhere, ranging from small True Martial Clans of a few dozen people to powerful Immortal Sects with several Qi Condensation Ancestors.
Some wanted Qi Condensation Pill, others wanted to exchange resources...
Many curious onlookers traveled long distances to see what was going on!
All things considered, this Chuanlong Minor Gathering was the only large-scale gathering of cultivators in the surrounding counties in recent years...
It encompasses eight Prefecture and more than fifty counties of varying sizes in the surrounding area...
There are no fewer than twenty Qi Condensation forces that have come to this place!
It is evident how remarkable this small meeting was!
On the Ying River--
Yunchuan City, located downstream, became the transit point for this small meeting.
Some powerful families transferred to treasure ships here and sailed upstream on the Ying River. You know what, just from renting the ships, the Qin Clan made a fortune!
First-Tier spiritual herbs may not be valuable, but the quantity is huge!
at the same time--
This spurred the development of the Yunchuan region, attracting numerous forces and leading to frequent private transactions, thus triggering the first wave of trade...
The Yunchuan region is also known for its water-attribute Spirit Plant and materials.
The Yunchuan Marsh is abundant with rare fish, shrimp, and crabs!
This attracted numerous forces to make purchases, and for certain Prefecture powers lacking Water Dao resources, it was something they desperately wanted...
The abundance of aquatic products has attracted many gourmets, making this place famous!
As a large number of ships sailed upstream, Yingchuan City benefited!
As the core area under the Qin Clan's rule, it also amassed a vast amount of resources, with its Wuzhi Mountains covered in peach trees...
It has even become a scenic spot!
Imagine standing at the bow of a boat, sailing on the river, gazing at the distant mountains ablaze with peach blossoms...
Peach blossoms drifted in the wind, gathering into a sea of flowers, attracting countless female cultivators to linger and admire them for a long time. And the most famous thing about Yingchuan City is: the Peach Blossom Red!
This is a First-Tier Mid-Grade Spirit Wine, one of the unique Spirit Wine developed by the Qin Clan.
It contains several medicinal herbs, resulting in a potent medicinal wine that can repair internal injuries, replenish Qi and Blood, and restore True Essence...
It can be considered a lower-grade alternative to First-Tier healing elixir!
Due to its impressive yield and high sales volume, a ten-year batch of Peach Blossom Red is comparable to First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Object!
A drunkard and a sword-wielding fanatic drink to their hearts' content here, amidst fine wine, beautiful women, peach blossoms in full bloom, tender feelings, and the glint of swords...
A spirit of chivalry is spreading here!
Who knows how many more romantic poems, lyrics, and prose pieces will be born...
Or perhaps it's a story of swift justice and revenge, or a tragic tale of lovers dying together in an ancient legend...
Places filled with stories are often the most memorable!
When the boat travels upstream to the Ba River--
Layer upon layer of mountains, imposing and ancient, with the Ba River flowing through them, offering views of the mountain landscape and breathtaking wonders of giant stone sculptures...
Most astonishingly, a large mountain had been carved out, and inside it sat a colossal stone statue of an emperor...
Furthermore, the continuous rock walls are carved with giant stone paintings, seemingly telling the story of how the Qin Clan destroyed the six other families and unified Bayi...
These--
This is a vanity project orchestrated by Qin Lu —low-cost consumption, high-return showmanship!
Those True Martial clans, lining the Ba River, witnessed this breathtaking scene and were all filled with awe at the magnificence of the Qin Clan...
Even some Qi Condensation cultivators nodded in approval upon seeing it!
Putting aside everything else, the refined taste of the Beichuan Qin Family is on full display, and even a member of a powerful family couldn't help but compose a poem...
