Chapter 236: Chapter 130: The Strong Rise of the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture, The Idea of Selling Talismans_3
This moment marked the full unleashing.
“Patriarch Changfeng, it seems there’s no more time for our three hundredth game of chess…”
“Chess is really quite interesting…”
“It’s just a pity, I have never won even once…”
As the voice faded, streaks of frost gradually climbed onto Luo Youwei’s face.
After heaving a slight sigh,
Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but wave his hand, activating one special sealing formation among the hundreds engraved in the courtyard.
On the mysterious non-human creature imprisoned underground,
The formation used by Luo Changfeng was meant to seal away all aura and sound.
But this time, the formation he used
was to seal that last lifeline within the human body,
keeping one from dying immediately.
However, in Luo Changfeng’s view, such a formation was somewhat useless.
Not only was the expenditure of spirit stones extremely large,
Beyond that, after the formation sealed away the last lifeline, a person’s lifespan would not stop passing because of the formation.
Instead, it would be consumed even faster.
That is to say, the sealing might only last a year, but your lifespan could already have expended two or three years, or even five years of time.
Therefore, when initially setting up this formation,
Luo Changfeng had never imagined there would come a day when it would be used.
“Is it because you sensed the approach of death, so…”
“You came to play the final game of chess with me?”
Luo Changfeng looked at Luo Youwei in front of him, whose body was emitting an intensely cold and bone-chilling aura.
He shook his head involuntarily.
Afterwards, he waved his hand to have Ruan Liuli take him into a room within the small courtyard that was always unoccupied.
“With the sealing formation activated, aside from the expenses for the Gathering Spirit and Locking Spirit formations…”
“Now, there’s an additional expenditure of spirit stones.”
“Next, I should think about how to earn more spirit stones.”
“Otherwise, why not just take some talismans to the Wan Dan Sect’s Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect to sell?”
Thinking this, Luo Changfeng nodded to himself.
Alchemists’ combat abilities are often not very strong.
If one is not careful due to inferior strength,
And then gets slaughtered by someone,
Wouldn’t that be quite unjust?
Hence, for the sake of the disciples’ safety within the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, selling a few talismans is not a problem at all.
Selling them at a slightly higher price shouldn’t be a big issue either.
After all, alchemists often have plenty of money on a one-to-one basis.
Also, talismans won’t have thirty percent taken away by the Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect.
Damn, thinking about it this way,
Selling talismans would be a killing, wouldn’t it?
Of course, these thoughts were just in Luo Changfeng’s mind.
If those alchemists of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect were to know,
They’d probably start cursing their mothers.
Talismans are indeed great items without a doubt,
But what’s this about alchemists being wealthy one and all?
Ever since the channel for paid access to memory-recording stones was created, the spirit stones alchemists could keep for themselves had lessened more and more.
Now, you are still thinking about making money selling talismans.
Are you even human?
…
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.
During this half month, the Guan Family of Luoshan Prefecture had effortlessly taken down White Bird District.
From that point on, the Guan Family held dominion over three counties within Luoshan Prefecture.
If they squeezed a little, mobilizing an army of two or three million was no longer an issue.
As for the Qingqu County Liang Family and the Huai Shui County Luo Family.
During this half month, they had finally chosen to cease hostilities.
However, what infuriated the Liang Family was.
The conditions set by the Huai Shui County Luo Family were simply too excessive.
They demanded the cession of three cities, each with a population of over a million, and five towns with populations of over two hundred thousand.
Are they sure they want to make peace with these terms?
Initially, the Qingqu County Liang Family did not want to agree to these conditions from the Huai Shui County Luo Family.
But they had no choice due to the powerful rise of the Luo Mountain Prefecture Guan Family.
And their own food reserves were diminishing day by day.
If this continued, they couldn’t even speak of lasting half a year.
Even three to five months seemed unsustainable for the Qingqu County Liang Family.
Therefore, with no other option.
The Qingqu County Liang Family had to agree to the demands of the Huai Shui County Luo Family.
They directly ceded three cities bordering Huai Shui County, each exceeding a population of a million, and five towns with populations of over two hundred thousand.
…
Ceding is ceding.
But all the grain and supplies in those three cities and five towns.
The Qingqu County Liang Family naturally scoured them clean.
With so many advantages falling into the hands of the Huai Shui County Luo Family.
It was natural for the Qingqu County Liang Family not to leave anything useful to the Luo Family other than the population and territory.
However, what the Qingqu County Liang Family didn’t realize was.
For the Huai Shui County Luo Family, the population and the land were the most important things.
Grain…
Was actually the least of the Luo Family’s worries.
…
After the Huai Shui County Luo Family and the Qingqu County Liang Family ceased hostilities.
The situation within Luo Mountain Prefecture once again started to become chaotic.
The Luo Mountain Prefecture Guan Family, in a brief period, had annexed the territories of two districts.
At this moment, they were silently digesting their spoils of war.
While the once second strongest district in Luo Mountain Prefecture, now slightly inferior to the Huai Shui County Luo Family, was the Qingqu County Liang Family.
They, at this time, were frantically attacking the nearby Shanghua District.
This was the last chance for the Qingqu County Liang Family.
The Luo Mountain Prefecture Guan Family, already in control of three districts’ lands.
Then, besides the Huai Shui County Luo Family, the Qingqu County Liang Family, and that nearly allied Yellow Mountain County Lu Family.
Only two districts remained.
Among them, Shang Heng District was located behind Huai Shui County, with a whole distance of Huai Shui County between it and Qingqu County.
Shang Heng District, this one district’s territory, was naturally untouchable by Qingqu County.
Yellow Mountain County, with its complex terrain and numerous bandit forces, and the Lu Family, the leading clan force of Yellow Mountain County, had already openly sided with the Huai Shui County Luo Family.
Therefore, it wasn’t easy for Qingqu County to intervene in Yellow Mountain County.
So, by process of elimination, the only district that Qingqu County could truly target was the last Shanghua District.
In the entire Luo Mountain Prefecture.
Shanghua District originally had the strength to rank third overall.
The first was Luo Mountain Prefecture Guan Family, the second was Qingqu County Liang Family, and the third spot belonged to Shanghua District Xie Family.
However, now including the Huai Shui County Luo Family.
The comprehensive strength of Shanghua District would drop to fourth within Luo Mountain Prefecture.
If possible, the Qingqu County Liang Family really did not want to move against the Shanghua District Xie Family.
Whether it was the Xie Family’s military forces or the Xie Family ancestor, who had already reached the initial realm of Blood Cultivation.
These were not easy adversaries to deal with.
But the Liang Family had no choice.
They truly had no choice.
