BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 - 127 Chengsheng Mountain_1
The Han Family’s migration caravan arrived at Yonchang Manor.
At this moment, it was undoubtedly the center of attention, with countless spies observing from all around.
Most of these spies came from the forces within Yonchang Manor, as well as forces from neighboring manors, all wanting to know whether the Han Mansion was going to take root in Yonchang Manor.
“Please don’t settle in Yonchang Manor!”
Many cultivators prayed frantically in their hearts, especially those from the Gangyuan Realm, whose expressions were particularly ugly.
Despite its agreeable name, Yonchang Manor had average cultivation resources and lacked significant Spirit Stone Mines, Spiritual Materials Mines, or even high-grade medicinal fields.
Since ancient times, the level of spiritual energy in Yonchang Manor had always been low, with no gathering spots for spiritual energy, resembling a valley of low spiritual energy.
Great Grandmasters from the Myriad Phenomena Realm had come to investigate, but found no clue, considering it possible that the Spirit Veins of Yonchang Manor were completely shattered during the great catastrophe of ancient times.
Therefore, forces of the Immortal Refining Realm looked down on Yonchang
Manor, taking root in other manors instead. Not to mention the powers of the Hollow Void Stage and the Myriad Phenomena Realm, who chose locations with rich spiritual energy for their sects.
Although no forces of the Immortal Refining Realm and above were in Yonchang Manor, it had attracted quite a few forces of the Gangyuan Realm, as well as those below the Pihai Realm.
A manor without a powerful force dominating it was an eldorado for smaller forces, free from oppression and restrictions by larger ones, allowing them to develop freely.
There were many reasons why Han Li chose Yonchang Manor, including this factor.
Yonchang Manor was very suitable for the development of the Han Family; without encroaching on the interests of other major forces, they wouldn’t face resistance. Otherwise, other major forces would cause constant trouble for the Han Mansion with various schemes.
Though Han Li was unafraid, he didn’t want to be entangled in troubles that would affect his mood, nor did he want to show too much of his strength too soon.
Besides himself and Lu Tianxiang, the Han Mansion currently had only Lin Yiwu as a Great Master of the Gangyuan Realm, with a fair number of cultivators in the Pihai and Innate Realms, not yet affected by the shortage of spiritual energy.
As for when the family grew stronger and the number of powerful members increased, there was no need to worry. By then, Han Li would have arranged everything to ensure the smooth development of the family.
Soon, the various forces and families of Yonchang Manor despaired and became anxious as the news that the Han Mansion had taken root in Yonchang Manor was confirmed.
An Immortal Refining Clan, although only one elder of the Han Family was notable (outsiders were unaware of the cultivation level of Han Li’s concubine), still overshadowed all the other forces.
The power structure in Yonchang Manor had long been established, with a relatively stable distribution of resources and interests, which would not be easily altered.
But all the leaders of these forces knew that the skies of Yonchang Manor had changed at this moment; a colossal entity like the Han Family had relocated here.
The elder of the Han Family had a high cultivation level and was destined to live a long life, yet his family was weak and in need of substantial development.
What does developing a family require?
It requires all sorts of cultivation resources, talents, territories, and more…
Prior to this, everything was in the hands of the various forces of Yonchang Manor, but now they had to relinquish them, handing over many resources to the Han Mansion. How could these forces accept or be happy about this?
Some Gangyuan Realm forces with backgrounds were slightly more composed, actively shuttling about, trying to implore True Immortals of the God Refining Realm to intervene and drive away the Han Family.
But no True Immortals of the God Refining Realm were willing to take action.
This was completely thankless; setting aside whether they could defeat the elder of the Han Family, they certainly wouldn’t offend a True Immortal of the God Refining Realm without good reason, and the benefits and favors offered by those Great Masters of the Gangyuan Realm were far from sufficient to persuade them.
Moreover, moving to Yuanzhou had long been a settled matter for the Han Family. Staying in Yonchang Manor, a place where even birds wouldn’t relieve themselves, was ideal. Driving the Han Family out of Yonchang Manor would only force them to compete for territories and resources with the others, wouldn’t it?
This outcome caused great frustration to the actively hustling forces, but what could they do with their lack of strength?
Unable to entice True Immortals of the God Refining Realm to act, nor to drive away the Han Family, the future landscape was already set. Thus, many forces instantly switched their attitude.
Since the Han Family had become the strongest force in Yonchang Manor, wouldn’t it be good for them to cling to the Han Family’s might?
The elder of the Han Family liked to take concubines, and so did his descendants; bonding with the Han Family was all too easy, only requiring the sacrifice of one or two beautiful female cultivators.
By then, they would become kinship forces of the Han Mansion. Surely the Han Family wouldn’t continue to encroach on their interests, would they?
Even if encroachment did occur, the extent would be much lesser, shifting the cost to other forces. As they weakened, the other forces would become weaker, and hence, they would comparatively become stronger.
For example, if the Han Family wanted to claim one-third of Yonchang Manor’s territories and cultivation resources, these would have to be taken from other forces. With the total amount unchanged, if several forces handed over less, the others would have to hand over more.
According to intelligence reports, the elder of the Han Family had a good reputation. When leaving Leizhou, he even took care of those kinship families.
By forming marital ties with the Han Family, they might even gain various benefits from the Han Family, continuously grow stronger, and those beautiful female cultivators who married into the Han Family might live even better lives than before.
Within a very short period, many forces in Yonchang Manor had already shifted their mindset, determined to send daughters to the Han Family.
As for what kind of beautiful female cultivators should be sent, that had to be carefully considered as it concerned the relationship with the Han Family.
After all, the Han Family was taking root in Yonchang Manor, not just passing through. They couldn’t simply think about forming a good bond by casually choosing someone with poor aptitude to suffice.
If other forces of the same caliber were sending beautiful female cultivators with Eighth Grade aptitude, and you sent one with Ninth Grade aptitude, this would certainly be remembered by the elder of the Han Family..
