Hearing Li Qingming's words, Fang Suichu nodded: "Call him in."

This strange world is rotten to the core, but there are still some things worth seeing, such as the relatively stable civilized order.

Although the fundamental reason for this order is for the strange cultivators to obtain cultivation materials efficiently, civilization and order are necessary anyway.

This stage is also necessary for Fang Suichu.

PS: During the establishment stage, the pace of these chapters will be a little slower.

Chapter 103: Blood Scroll: Immortal Dao

Fang Bo went down and was responsible for reorganizing the Fang family property that Fang Suichu had just taken back.

Then the Lord of Linge County walked in.

After returning to the government office yesterday, the County Master Wei immediately went to check on the situation at Tianchan Temple. He found that the temple's headquarters had been almost completely demolished, and traces of a giant deity's devastation were visible on the mountain.

Tianchan Temple was indeed destroyed, and Taoist Xuanshen also lost his life.

Tianchan Temple has been in Linge County for hundreds of years, and has been inheriting the blood seal and accepting offerings from the people of this county.

Its rise has been a long time, but its fall was sudden.

The impact on the entire Linge County is huge, which means a reshuffle of local forces in the county.

This time, the county magistrate came for this purpose.

First of all, he needs to find out what this person is going to do next.

He already has a master outside and returns home just to seek revenge. After revenge he will return to the Taoist lineage, or he will stay here forever.

If it is the former, then of course we will treat them well and then send them out of the country with courtesy.

If it is the latter, it involves the establishment of new power isolation in Linge County, so we must be extremely cautious.

"I plan to establish a sect in Linge County."

The Wei County Master was testing the waters cautiously, while Fang Suichu was being direct and direct.

"The site for the sect's founding has been determined. It is the former Tianchan Monastery's headquarters."

Hearing this answer, Wei Xianzun did not feel strange at all, but felt relieved instead.

A powerful spiritual master who has little interest in the local area is here, and Wei Xianzun is really afraid that the other party will do something at will.

Although Zhang Jingsheng had some understanding of this person, he seemed quite amiable. The killing of the Fang family was also out of the righteousness of revenge, at least from a moral point of view, there was no way to blame him.

However, this person was ultimately a ruthless person who had even raised a spiritual secret vein. With such power, if he had any more thoughts, this Linge County would be in trouble.

But it’s different if the other party plans to stay in Linge County. The stability of Linge County will definitely bring greater benefits to the other party.

Even the monsters in the wilderness knew that they were sheltering in the villages trying to survive in the wilderness, and they would only receive blood and food from them at regular intervals instead of killing them all outright.

"In that case, I can report this to my superiors."

Wei Xianzun smiled more flatteringly and talked about another matter.

"Regarding the blood offerings in this county..."

The blood talisman offering system has existed since the founding of the Wu State. In fact, not only the Wu State, but the other six states also had similar systems.

After all, the essence of human civilization in this world is dominated by the rule of strange cultivators.

Each dynasty was supported by the Supreme Dao behind it to maintain order, and with the strength of the dynasty, it was indeed impossible to truly protect the entire territory.

The provincial capitals and several core states are fine, but the counties in other states will definitely need the assistance of local Taoist spiritual mysteries if they want to deal with the monsters and ghosts in the wilderness.

Blood talismans are very important for general spiritual and secret Taoist veins, as they represent a stable and sufficient supply of resources.

A portion of the taxes collected annually in Linge County, including the human and blood taxes, is taken away by the Blood Sutra Offering Daoist Cultivation Sect.

Tianchan Temple has enjoyed the blood offerings from Linge County for hundreds of years, and has accumulated a set of formations and a pseudo-genuine weapon. One can imagine what it has gained from it.

In the eyes of County Master Wei, since this person is ready to establish a sect in Linge County, he will definitely not let go of this blood seal.

"When I report to the provincial government, I will mention the replacement of the blood seal, and the inspector from the provincial government office will be present to witness it."

While the Wu court's power was somewhat weak at the local level, with the support of the eighteen states and the Imperial Academy, it was considered a top-tier Daoist lineage within the Guidao realm, second only to the Imperial Academy as a powerful lineage. Naturally, it had a sufficient number of Gui cultivators directly under its command. These Gui cultivators within the Wu court were assigned to the Supervisory Department, with the Supervisory Envoys typically being Spirit Secrets.

This Wei County Master then told Fang Suichu about the process of replacing the blood talisman.

The replacement of blood talismans in a place is not common, but it is definitely not uncommon.

Either the life span of Lingmi in the Dao vein is coming to an end, or he lost control of his training method, or he died in battle. If he faces a situation of a lack of successors and loses Lingmi's control, he is obviously not qualified to receive this offering anymore.

The number of spiritual secrets in the world is obviously greater than the number of cities and counties in the world, but the amount of resources offered for a blood talisman is fixed, so the competition for the blood talisman is quite fierce.

It may even attract spiritual mysteries from other places to compete for it.

"Wait...you said fight?" Fang Suichu interrupted Wei Xianzun and asked.

"Yes." Wei Xianzun nodded.

Jingzhou is a special place, with a more concentrated population than other states, fewer blood scrolls, and more abundant resources. This leads to a situation where there are too many monks and too little porridge.

In fact, there are several spiritual secrets around Linge County. They cannot compete with Tianchan Temple for the most plump piece of cake in Linge County, so they settle down in the towns and villages and get a share of the profits.

Once the news here gets out, these spiritual secrets will definitely be interested, and may even attract spiritual secrets from other counties.

but.....

Wei Xianzun secretly glanced at Fang Suichu who was thinking about something with his head down.

This person's methods are indeed very powerful. He has killed the ghost god "Fan He" and destroyed the Tianchan Temple. I believe that even if the surrounding spiritual secrets knew that there was a vacant blood talisman here, they would not dare to fight for it.

"Speaking of which, I wonder what name Mr. Fang will give to the Taoist lineage he is going to establish next?" Wei Xianzun asked again.

Hearing what Wei Xianzun said, Fang Suichu raised his head.

Before arriving in Jingzhou, Fang Suichu had already discussed the name of the sect with the two women around him.

Fang Suichu actually remembered the name 'Feng Ling Yue Ying Sect'.

After all, the dream began with the sound of the system's 'ding'.

But after thinking about it, he decided that the career of preaching was more serious, so at the suggestion of the two women, Fang Suichu decided on a name early on.

Fang Suichu's surname, plus the immortal way he practiced, the combination of the two is "Fangxian".

"Fang Xiandao." Fang Suichu said to Wei Xianzun.

"What a good name, what a good name." County Master Wei praised it repeatedly after hearing it, and at the same time said that the government office would be responsible for all the resources needed for Fang Suichu to establish the sect.

Now that the autumn harvest has ended, there are just enough laborers to help Fang Suichu choose a site for the sect.

In the eyes of Wei Xianzun, Mr. Fang is already one of his own.

Mr. Fang is almost certain to get the blood talisman, and that is why he is taking this opportunity to get closer to him.

Chapter 104: Taizhou Rebellion - The Vicious Man

A month later.

In the Linge County Office, County Magistrate Wei was sitting upright with a frown on his face.

The impact of the destruction of Tianchan Temple had gradually subsided, at least within Linge County. All people and objects associated with Tianchan Temple had been liquidated, and the remaining secular assets had been recovered and given to the person currently residing in the city.

The information about the replacement of the blood seal has already been reported to the provincial government. The provincial government's inspector has probably already set off and will arrive in a week at most.

What is the most important thing for Wu officials?

Of course it is stable, stable, and more stable. There is a fixed qualification and promotion path within the court system. As long as you pass it, it is a merit. As long as you ensure that the annual taxes can be collected and sent to the provincial capital, it is a merit.

The situation in Linge County was still somewhat unstable. After all, without the Blood Scroll, that person was not truly one of them. Fortunately, with the arrival of the Inspector General sent by the prefecture, the situation was finally settled.

The reason why County Master Wei was so worried was not because of the things happening in Linge County, but because of the information from the outside world.

During this period, a rebellion broke out in neighboring Taizhou.

In fact, the rebellion had already occurred a month earlier.

Rebellion was a major event, and the Taizhou government officials at the time probably wanted to suppress the rebellion before reporting it to the court. That way, they wouldn't be severely punished.

However, a month later, the rebellion was not suppressed, but instead intensified.

According to the latest government bulletin, the rebels have occupied five county towns in Taizhou.

The imperial court was outraged and had appointed an expeditionary envoy to lead a large army to Taizhou to attack.

This rebellion is obviously not that simple.

Even if the rebels organized by some common people are numerous, they will never be able to shake the situation of a state.

It's an army made up entirely of ordinary people, and a spiritual secret officer can take care of them all in a short time.

It is obvious that there are some strange Taoist cultivators supporting this rebellion.

According to some information revealed by merchants in Taizhou, the one supporting the rebellion seems to be the notorious "White Lotus Cult".

Even at the thought of this name, Wei Xianzun couldn't help but shudder.

The evil path is notorious and always brings disaster wherever it appears.

The White Lotus Demon Sect is a prominent sect of the Demonic Path, with a very ancient history, even predating the founding of the Wu Kingdom.

Such a cult needs to be conquered with the whole country's strength.

After the founding of the Wu Kingdom, the Emperor Taizu organized several campaigns of suppression, which were highly effective. Historical records state that an entire state was transformed into a battlefield, nearly submerged by the powerful forces who took action at the time. For hundreds of years, the area was barren, transformed into a vast forbidden zone.

I heard that in that war, Lingmi was just a pawn, Yinling was just cannon fodder, and even a group of Zhen'e's real people died.

Although that crackdown dealt a heavy blow to the White Lotus Cult, it was ultimately incomplete, allowing the White Lotus Cult to survive and continue to hide and operate in secret.

However, in recent years, the activities of the White Lotus Cult have become increasingly frequent.

Two months ago, in Shuzhou, not far away, the White Lotus Cult caused chaos in the state capital.

It was said that the Demon Cult secretly replaced a student at an academy, and took advantage of the opportunity of a senior spiritual secret being forcibly promoted to break the restriction of Xinghu Academy, one of the eighteen academies, allowing a "big demon" to escape.

That's the 'big devil', he must be in the realm of true disaster, and not just any ordinary realm of true disaster. I heard that he was captured by a doctor in the academy, but he couldn't be killed, so he could only be sealed.

But unexpectedly, the White Lotus Demon Cult had just caused a big incident in Tongcheng Prefecture, Shuzhou, and then it caused an even bigger chaos in Taizhou, directly and directly attacking the order of Wu State.

In comparison, what happened in Shuzhou was nothing.

"Since this involves the White Lotus, the officials in the court and the public will surely be extremely cautious. The army sent to Taizhou by the court will definitely be led by several real people... maybe even a 'saint'..."

Wei Xianzun comforted himself, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The White Lotus Cult has been dormant for hundreds of years, and they must have their own reasons for suddenly stirring up trouble. I'm just afraid of what might happen next...

After all, Taizhou and Jingzhou are only separated by a line.

If Taizhou gets into chaos, Jingzhou will probably not be at peace either.

Taizhou is not peaceful, and Jingzhou is not peaceful either.

Compared with what happens in the other state, things happening in this state can have a greater impact on Linge County and on him.

"Recently, a vicious person appeared in Jingzhou and attacked practitioners everywhere."

County Master Wei raised his head and glanced at his many subordinates in the government office, then spoke.

This happened about half a month ago. The spiritual secrets in the four counties surrounding Lingge County were attacked one after another.

The murderer was quite cautious. He did not attack the Blood Sutra Lingmi in the county, but instead targeted those Lingmi who occupied villages and towns for cultivation.

In just half a month, ten spiritual secrets died.

Lingmi is not a cabbage. Although the strength of these ten Lingmi varies due to the inheritance and can only be regarded as a fairly ordinary existence among Lingmi, they are still Lingmi.

The death of ten spiritual secrets in half a month is already an extremely shocking thing.

As for the question of why it was done by a "villain" and not some ghosts or gods, it was because in the neighboring Geyi County, Master Cangnan happened to run into this person who had received the spiritual secret of the blood scroll.

Therefore, it can be confirmed that this mysterious killer is not a monster or ghost.

News came from the neighboring county that the Master Cangnan encountered this mysterious villain and within a few rounds, all his Dharma bones were shattered. If he had not practiced the rare magical power of incarnation to save his life, he might have died there.

Even if he wasn't dead, he was already seriously injured. The Daoist lineage to which Master Cangnan belonged was now completely closed.

When Master Cangnan escaped, he described the image of the evil man and his magical powers.

He was a ten-foot-tall, extremely burly man with red eyes and blood-red energy lingering on his face, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
