Chapter 807: The Young Master Talks and Determines the Academy

When it comes to this, Master Zhankong becomes serious.

"Master, I just wanted to talk about this matter one last time, because it involves a secret that I just learned recently."

"speak."

Lin Shan sat down nonchalantly and waved his hand to signal him to speak quickly.

"This time we sent ten teams to infiltrate different locations in the Liluan Mountains. We explored almost all active and extinct volcanoes in the volcanic group and found more than 20 target locations."

Master Zhankong spread out the map and showed him the items one by one.

"so much?!"

Lin Shan was surprised and delighted. He didn't expect that the volcanic sacred rock would be so easy to find.

"Among these volcanoes that contain spiritual veins, most of them produce volcanic spiritual rocks, so it can be said that they are everywhere, but it involves the question of ownership."

Master Zhankong tells the story.

It turns out that volcanic spiritual rock is a very famous spiritual material in the circle of refining instruments in the world of cultivation, and is very suitable for refining magical instruments and treasures with fire attributes.

It can also play a huge role when used in alchemy formations.

Therefore, it attracted many monks from other regions to come here specifically to dig up this kind of thing, start reselling it in wholesale, and it has even gradually developed into an industry.

Later, because this thing was so profitable, it was taken over by all the top forces and claimed as their own. No one except them was allowed to mine it!
Even after so many years, it has become a cash cow, delivering huge profits to the Central Region every year!
"In other words, this piece of cake has always belonged to the four great families in the Central Region. It is their forbidden fruit. No one else is qualified to get involved, including the local Shangyang Academy?"

Lin Shan understood. No wonder there had been no rumors about this in the outside world. It turned out that it had been secretly controlled by the top forces in Lu State.

Now that he had occupied northwest Shandong, when he decided to plunder resources, he discovered that these places were already taken.

It would be fine if it was just ordinary cultivation resources, but they could just snatch a few from the indigenous forces in northwest Shandong. These people dared not say anything and could only swallow their anger and accept it.

But it concerns the four families in the Central Region.
"Master, do you think we should take a long-term approach?"

Master Zhankong asked carefully, observing Lin Shan's reaction.

He prefers to keep things stable first and not cause any trouble. The Xun Gu Sect and the Lujiang League have already taken big steps, so they need to develop and digest them first. It is not a wise move to make enemies everywhere.

Lin Shan thought for a while.

"Well, you immediately draft four identical official letters in my name and send them to the four top forces in the Central Region. Tell them that I have set my sights on the volcanic group in northwest Shandong and ask them to give me the resources of this spiritual land."

Master Zhankong was shocked and hesitated.

"Is it really written like this? Isn't it too arrogant?"

"No, go ahead and don't worry."

Lin Shan has a scale in his heart.

If he quietly seized the resources of the four old forces, it would be tantamount to a blatant provocation and would likely anger the other party.

But if he were to negotiate with the other party for control with the current momentum of a great victory and the fact that he already had actual control over northwest Shandong, then the other party would most likely give him this face.

Master Zhankong took the order and left.

He just happened to pass by Hu Buju who had just come in from outside.

When the little fox girl heard that Lin Shan had returned, she hurried over with her brother and threw herself into his arms as soon as they met!
"Sir, woo woo woo, finally seeing you again~"

Lin Shan firmly grasped her shoulders with one hand, signaling the little girl to be more reserved, and looked at the young master of the fox clan who was walking towards him with a complicated expression.

"My promise has been fulfilled, but you haven't left in the past few days?"

Hu Buju replied, "I plan to take my sister to say goodbye to Brother Lin and leave. Thank you for your hospitality these days and for saving my sister. Our fox clan is grateful to you. I will consider this a debt of gratitude and you can use me at any time in the future!"

Lin Shan nodded and did not try to keep them. The matter was over and he was busy with other things and had no time to continue entertaining them.

But the little fox girl refused to give in and struggled in his hands.

"Master, I don't want to go back. I want to stay with you! I finally came here, why are you taking me back?"

"Nonsense!"

Hu Buju shouted loudly, obviously worried about his ignorant sister.

"Do you know that your story has spread throughout the surrounding human cultivation world? Many people are eyeing you covetously. Why are you still wandering around outside instead of returning to your clan?"

"and"

He glanced at Lin Shan and said meaningfully.

"After these days of fermentation, there are many rumors in the cultivation world, and negative rumors have emerged that Brother Lin is colluding with the demon tribe. We should not stay for long, so as not to continue to cause trouble for them."

"I do not!"

The little fox girl was not stupid and she immediately understood that her brother was bullying her. She hugged Lin Shan's arm and said that she could hide behind the scenes and help him take care of his daily life, such as playing with the chickens and walking the dogs.

As he spoke, he began to look for Xing Mansion, calling out to Brother Ji and the Demon Dog Lord. It was obvious that his memory was still stuck at that time.

Lin Shan had no choice but to take out the Star Mansion and tell her that neither Brother Ji nor the Demon Dog Lord were by his side, and it was empty inside.

"Then I can help you raise insects. You are so busy, and you just need an insect master to take care of you!"

“Can you breed insects?”

"Of course!"

The little fox girl puffed out her chest proudly, saying that this was one of the innate abilities of the fox clan, and then she winked proudly at the fox's impotence.

Seeing that his sister refused to let go and insisted on staying by Lin Shan, Hu Buju sighed.

"Forget it. Girls grow up and can't be kept at home. Just do whatever you want. After running away from home so many times, I don't want to care about you anymore."

"I was kidnapped before. Do you think you can take care of it? I'm not even in the Nascent Soul stage. Don't I have to rely on you to save me?"

The little fox girl pouted, her tone showing contempt for her brother. She blushed and stammered angrily:

"Okay, okay, okay, then you follow him, I'll go!"

The fox didn't raise its front feet to go out, only to have its back feet come back.

He said seriously:
"Brother Lin, before I leave, I have something to say to you alone. Please step aside for a moment."

After much persuasion, the little fox girl reluctantly left temporarily.

Hu Buju spoke in a low voice after he confirmed that there was no one around and that he and Lin Shan were the only ones in the hall.

"Brother Lin, you should know that I carry the demon blood inherited from my clan. Once I cultivate to the point where my demon pill is perfected, I will be able to condense a demon baby and become the successor to the next clan leader of my clan."

"and many more!"

Lin Shan interrupted him and said, "Aren't you the young master and patriarch of your tribe?"

Fox is not lifted up and hangs his head:

"Of course not. I'm just taking the blame. In fact, my little sister's bloodline is much stronger than mine, and mother's expectations of her are much higher than mine. The obvious and the hidden are opposites, so I still have the responsibility of protecting her."

"But she is always so lively. She has been restless since she was a child and wants to leave the tribe and see the vast world outside." "Maybe she is clinging to you because she feels safe in you. You are the only human she thinks is reliable. Following you, she can see all the beautiful scenery in the world."

"The demon race also yearns for freedom and likes to follow the strong. Sometimes I envy her for her pure mind and untainted by worldly desires."

This was the first time Lin Shan heard this.

It turns out that the little fox girl insisted on being with him, not just out of simple admiration for him.

Maybe after the first kidnapping, he not only did not abuse her, but also sent her back to the demon tribe as promised, thus gaining her trust, which led to today's scene.

"I have another question. The inherited blood essence of your demon race, as long as you have this thing, you can 100% break through the Nascent Soul stage and ensure that the demon king of the race will not be broken?"

"How can it be!"

Hu Buju shook his head and told him that it would only be convenient when condensing the demon baby, but other messy steps, such as demon essence, demon body, demon consciousness, thunder tribulation, etc., still have certain risks.

"Besides, there is only one inherited demon blood, which is just right for her own use. If you take away her virginity before she gives birth to her demon baby, it will be much more difficult for her to break through to the fifth-level demon king in the future."

Obviously, the reason why Hu Buju stayed was to say this.

I’m afraid that Lin Shan will lose control one day and pin the little vixen to the ground and do it!

Or they may want to take away the inherited demon blood to improve their own strength or secret skills, which will double the difficulty of the original owner's practice.

"Don't worry, I'm already in Nascent Soul stage, I don't need her help."

Lin Shan gave him a reassurance, and Hu Buju finally put his mind at ease.

It seemed that he was about to leave, and he was actually a little reluctant to leave, and started to mutter.

"Next time we meet, I will surely be able to become an infant, and then I will invite you to visit the Fox Tribe in the Swallowing Star Mountains."

A month later.

The crowd cheered and the cannons fired.

The new fairy city was built on the site of the former Shangyang Academy.

After everyone in Lujiang League participated in the discussion, Lin Shan personally decided to officially name it:

Order the mall!
It goes without saying that the entire Lujiang League went on an expedition to pacify the hostile forces in the northwest, and simply attributed this commemorative achievement directly to the title of Fairy City.

It is also to intimidate the surrounding local forces!
During this period, most of the indigenous people in northwest Shandong paid tribute, presented gifts, and attached themselves to various sects in the alliance.

A reply also came from the Central Region.

The four great Confucian families, the Kong family, the Meng family, the Bailu Academy, and the Jingyang Academy, all agreed to Lin Shan's request and peacefully transferred the mining rights of the volcanic Lingyan in the Liluan Mountains in northwest Shandong to the Lujiang League.

This also expresses a layer of meaning, representing respect for Lin Shan's strength and recognition of the Lujiang League.

Generally speaking, the cake of the cultivation world is only so big. As new forces rise, the benefits must be redistributed, so they can only take from the shares of the old forces!
The four great Confucian schools obviously considered a lot and decided that each of them would give up a little profit in exchange for stability in the world of cultivation.

Especially after the battle with Zhong Shenxiu!
The name of the leader Xun Gu was known all over the world, and everyone knew that the genius of Confucianism was badly defeated and had to flee at his hands.

Furthermore, the Wanhui Year had just begun, and all kinds of geniuses were beginning to show their prowess. Most forces chose to wait and see, not daring to act rashly, so they acquiesced to the rise of the Lujiang League.

The demise of Shang Dynasty and Shangyang Academy ended in nothing.

Over the years, Lu State has always been one of the top ten academies. Although there are differences in ranking, they have established laws and regulations for passing on skills in various fields and trained a large number of grassroots cultivators for the world of cultivation.

It can be said to be a relatively important part in the Confucian system.

Even if some academies decline or collapse in the middle, there will always be new academies to replace them.

This time, there was a faint rumor in the world of cultivation.

According to rumors, the Lujiang League seems to be planning to open a new academy and does not intend to select and recommend candidates from local institutions of higher learning.

When this news came out, many representatives from third-rate universities who rushed to northwest Shandong to seek new opportunities were skeptical.

When they actually arrived at Ding Mall, they found that poles and couplets had been erected at the gate, and two rows of reception booths were full of people.

The group came closer to take a look!
"Lujiang Academy Admissions Brochure".

Many people gathered around, reading sentence by sentence.

"The Dao and the Dharma open up new avenues, and our school nurtures virtuous people;"

"The teachers are excellent, the law field is great, and the students are ambitious."

"The career path is broad and the majors are diverse and strong!"

"Don't worry about the future, let's go to the good times!"

These people couldn't help but open the booklet and found that it was indeed rich and colorful.

"The beautiful female instructor at Ruyifang personally teaches the dual cultivation code."

"The Professor of the Three-Life Pagoda's Mechanism Teaches the Exploitation of the Works of Nature Step by Step".

"The abstinent leader of the Liuyang sect will teach you how to become a virgin."

"Looking for the Elder Hei Ku of the Ancient Sect, the Grand Master of Weapon Refining is here to teach you in person"!
The various titles are dazzling and alluring, especially the cover of Ruyifang, which actually talks about "dual cultivation" openly and puts it on the table!

The Confucian school of governance in Lu and the principles of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Who doesn't act secretly? Who dares to be so bold?
Lujiang Academy has set a precedent by establishing a "dual cultivation" course for the first time, and welcomes students with matching majors to come for systematic learning.

As for employment, there is no need to worry at all.

The foundation-building deacon of Ruyifang said during the enrollment that regardless of gender, everyone will be guaranteed a job after graduation!

There are also other Three Worlds Tower aviation shows, where the large flying boat magic tools used in recent combat drills to destroy merchants and Shangyang Academy are displayed as a gimmick to attract students.

The most powerful one is Elder Hei Ku of Xun Gu Sect.

The master of weapon refining!

This is quite sensational.

Many descendants of sects and families had obviously heard the news long ago, and came from far away to become disciples, and many even came from the Central Region!

They came from prominent families and had many connections, so it would have been no problem for them to be admitted to either Bailu Academy or Jingyang Academy, but they chose Lujiang Academy.

They all come here for the title of Yuanying Stage weapon refining master!

On the city floor.

Looking at the hustle and bustle below, there was an endless stream of people, and in the distance there were even more monks, rushing here from all directions of Lu State.

The senior leaders of Lujiang League nodded with a smile.

Ding Mall is just being built. If you want to develop, you need population, consumption, and investment!

The Lujiang Academy was built in the city, and the message of massive expansion was released. Their purpose was to gather the strengths of hundreds of schools in the alliance and to attract heroes from all corners of the world!
Just when the outside world was bustling.

Central city,
Master Zhan Kong hurried to Lin Shan.

"Master, we have found the news about the remnants of the Feather Clan!"
