Chapter 550

Among the four counties of Qingyun, there are no clear provisions on the determination requirements of a famous family in a county, but there are also some unwritten hidden rules in the market.

Generally speaking, if you want to become a famous family in a county, you must have at least one friar who built a foundation and was very round.

Only with the peak combat power under this golden elixir can we deter other petty people and get the respect they deserve.

In addition, it is also required that there should be no less than five foundation builders in the whole family, and the family should occupy a dominant position in the county where it is located.

When Shen Yucang, the ancestor of the Shen family, left Qingyun gate, he came to Linhai county and created the foundation of the Shen family in Linhai for hundreds of years.

After the three people of the second generation of Wen dynasty built the foundation one after another, the Shen family and Shen Yucang and his wife already had five foundation building friars.

In addition, Shen Yucang was born in Qingyun sect, and he was a great round friar who built the foundation, so the Shen family naturally became the only aristocratic family in Linhai county.

At that time, although the Linhai Shen family was just a famous family that had just been established, it had a great reputation even in the whole Lingnan immortal cultivation world because of its strong relationship with the golden elixir family of Pingzhou Wang family.

However, with the sitting of Shen Yucang and his wife and the decline of Pingzhou Wang's family, the Shen family also declined rapidly.

However, in today's Shen family, the cultivation of the patriarch Shen huanchi has reached the great perfection of foundation building, and the foundation building friars in the family, in addition to Shen Jinghua in the clan, there are five people in the family.

It can be said that now the Shen family has once again reached the minimum qualification to become a county family.

This time, Shen Ruiling's plot is to make the Shen family return to the list of famous families.

Now the strength of the Shen family has been basically satisfied. What is worse is the recognition of the Shen family by the Xiuxian families and Qingyun gate in Linhai County, as well as the influence and reputation of the Shen family in Linhai county.

Linhai county has been governed by four families for hundreds of years. The influence of the Shen family can only be biased to the southwest corner of Linhai county.

Even if the Shen family became a famous family in Linhai County in a short time, the overall control of Linhai county was only unsatisfactory.

So this time, Shen Ruiling is ready to use this plague to make the Shen family win the recognition and support of other families in Linhai county and expand the influence and reputation of the Shen family.

The most important thing is to let Qingyun gate recognize his Shen family and be willing to make his Shen family a famous family in Linhai county.

Although as long as we have enough strength, we can hold the position of a famous family, these prestige and reputation can also be achieved by absolute pornographic power.

However, such an unpopular family, relying on force to suppress other forces, is bound to become the target of public criticism. Once the family shows signs of decline, it will be attacked by the crowd.

Moreover, Shen Ruiling's purpose is not only to let the Shen family return to the list of distinguished families, but also to consider future planning.

Therefore, it is necessary for the Shen family to get the recognition and support of other families in Linhai county and expand the influence of the family, so as to improve the reputation of the family in Linhai county.

The reason why he did not hesitate to help Li and Du to refine pills before was not only because the three families fought the plague together, but also because he wanted the two families to owe him a favor.

It is hoped that the Shen family will remain acquiescent or neutral rather than resist in their plot against the Linhai County Wangzu.

As for his promise to those vassal families to provide them with elixirs to suppress the plague, he is also to buy the hearts of these small families and enhance the family's reputation in these small families.

Although he also knows that not every family knows how to repay their kindness, the Shen family can do it, and someone will always see it.

What he wants is to let Qingyun gate see what his Shen family has done in Linhai county.

Of course, in order to do this, the investment needed in the early stage must be huge. Just giving pills to those Qi practicing families is a cost.

However, Shen Shi is not bad for this batch of second-order pills now. What he can get in the future is far more valuable than this batch of pills.

……

Three days later, the Li family and the Du family sent the elixir to Yunbifeng respectively, and Shen Ruiling immediately closed the door as promised to refine the elixir for their two families.

Although it is alchemy for others, this is also an opportunity for Shen Ruiling to improve alchemy.

He has been a third-class alchemist for some years, but he still has a bad time to become a third-class alchemist.

It can be said that since Shen huanchi closed the door, Shen Ruiling has been deliberately trying to improve his Alchemy to the third level.

The reason why he was anxious to upgrade his Alchemy to the third-class top-grade was that he wanted to refine the [golden elixir and jade liquid] used to assist in the knot of elixirs. At least he should be an alchemist of the third-class top-grade.

[golden elixir and jade liquid] it is related to the clan leader's Dan knot. As long as the clan leader's Dan knot is successful, his Shen family will usher in a great development. Therefore, Shen Ruiling had to seize the time and spare no effort to attack the bottleneck of the third-order top-grade alchemist.

While Shen Ruiling was practicing alchemy, Shen Jingan on the other side also sold a batch of second-order elixirs that could inhibit the plague to the Qi practicing families who asked the Shen family for help at ordinary prices.

In the case of the spread of the plague, the price of the pill that can inhibit the plague has already doubled, and it can be said that the Shen family has done its utmost to sell it to these Qi practicing families at ordinary prices.

Therefore, after receiving the news, many small Qi practicing families asked the Shen family to get pills from the Shen family.

Several of them are vassal families in the territory of the Li family and the Du family. Because they failed to obtain the elixir to suppress the plague from the Li family and the Du family, they had to ask the Shen family.

For these Qi practicing families, the Shen family is not stingy. They still sell them some pills that can inhibit the spread of the plague.

Under this move of the Shen family, they soon won a lot of prestige among these small families in Linhai County!

……

However, when people in Linhai county and Jiangmin county were busy resisting the plague, the border area between Qingyun gate and Wuji sect began to be restless again.

Since the immortal array day of Qingyun gate successfully condensed the golden elixir, the strength of Qingyun gate has steadily suppressed Wuji sect.

Over the years, although the two major gates have not completely torn their faces and broke out a large-scale war, the struggle on the border between the two sides has never stopped.

Under the compromise of the Wuji sect and the default, the industry and Lingshan, large and small, which were originally located at the border between the two factions, were brought into the sphere of influence by Qingyun gate.

This also made the original border of the two factions retreat nearly a thousand miles to the Wuji sect, forming a thousand miles wide buffer zone in the middle.

Canglan County, under the rule of Wuji sect, is close to the boundless sea and borders on Linhai and Jiangmin among the four Qingyun counties.

But now, the original border has retreated a lot, and the land originally belonging to canglan county has become the sphere of influence of Linhai county and Jiangmin county.

However, since the outbreak of large-scale plague in Linhai county and Jiangmin County, wujizong has continuously sent border guards to the buffer area of the two factions on the grounds of preventing the spread of the plague and blocking the border.

For a moment, the situation on the border between the two factions was at war again.
