_Chapter 839: The Four Great Families of Tianbi City
"I see, so all the forces can only turn a blind eye to the matter of the fat old man in the mansion, but when I asked those villagers, their faces showed a look of fear, could it be that it has something to do with the forces of all parties?" Xiao Yan continued to ask. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"The predecessors are right, firstly, those villagers will be very respectful and very afraid when they see the immortal master, and secondly, they are indeed afraid of offending certain forces, if they make a mistake, or offend some people, it is estimated that their lives will suffer. Xiao Cui continued to reply.
"It seems that there are still many differences between this Immortal Spirit Island and the Pingnan Immortal Cultivation Realm, but these villagers have suffered, they all seem to be living in a kind of fear, by the way, what is going on with that woman begging that fat master?" Xiao Yan continued to ask.
"Senior, the sea area of this Dongxian Island is vast, and there are many islands, but the monks can't hit them, and the monks on some islands are relatively small compared to them, so when mining spirit ore, there must be some manpower.
But the mortals in the mortal world can't mine these ores, so they can only send some monks to do it, but unfortunately there are fewer monks, and in the end they can only find some mortals with spiritual roots in the mortal world.
Then provide some exercises and spirit stones, let them cultivate, and when they have completed their cultivation, let them mine the spirit ore, and in the process of mining the spirit ore, it is inevitable that there will be some damage, or even death.
And that woman's husband was a mortal with a spiritual root, and at that time, they thought that if one of the people in the family could become an immortal master, then their family would not have to be poor, and they could even make their family prosperous.
It's a pity that the people with spiritual roots recruited in the mortal world are generally some fourth- or fifth-spirit roots, and their qualifications are relatively poor, so they are destined to be miners after cultivating.
When these low-level cultivators collect ore for the monks, they can send back some silver taels every year, which is enough for the family to have food and clothing, but if these monks are injured or die unexpectedly, they will not be able to continue to send silver taels to their families.
But generally speaking, as long as a monk dies, the family that owns the vein will shoulder the expenses of the dead monk's family, and even give a lot of silver taels at one time, so as not to make the family of the dead monk so poor.
It's just that some people don't do it in this way, and some people will fill their pockets and covet those silver taels, which is why the families of these dead monks have become so miserable. Xiao Cui continued to explain.
"Could it be that no one cares about such a vicious thing, and for the monks, these people's homes don't cost much silver taels!" After Xiao Yan heard this, his face showed annoyance, and he asked coldly.
As long as there are casualties among the disciples in these sects, then the sect has the responsibility to take care of their families, and even some sects have opened up some mountain ranges, and directly moved the monks' families to live, so that they can live that kind of life without worrying about food and clothing.
"Senior, Xiao Cui just said that because of the power of the four families here, they contain each other and must cooperate with each other, so many things can't be managed. Xiao Cui continued to explain.
"Well, by the way, with your small cultivation, you have such a high level of knowledge, presumably the young master of your family should also be in one of the forces. Xiao Yan asked.
"Yes, didn't the young master of my family say it?" Xiao Cui asked with a surprised face.
"Hehe, except for the young master of your family, who is a woman and is from Dongxian Island, I don't know anything else. Xiao Yan smiled faintly and replied.
"Ah, I don't know anything, senior, you came to find the young master of my family, this affection is inevitably too deep. Xiao Cui said in surprise, and suddenly smiled again, as if with a strange look.
"The ghost asked the young master of your family for something before, so now I'm going to ask about the situation. Xiao Yan replied lightly, it seems that Xiao Cui knows some things, but she doesn't know all the things, after all, she is not exactly looking for the purple-clothed female cultivator.
"Oh, I see, but the seniors can come to find the young master of my family, and the young master of my family will be very happy. Xiao Cui said again.
"Of course, having friends visit is of course a great joy in life. Xiao Yan nodded, replied, and then, the shield magic weapon that Xiao Yan was driving came to Tianbi Mountain.
In addition to covering a layer of formation, Tianbi Mountain is actually a small city inside, but it can't be seen from the outside at all, and under Xiao Cui's guidance, Xiao Yan stayed outside the small city of Tianbi Mountain.
Xiao Yan took a look at the small city, the buildings of the small city are not special, there is also a plaque written on the city gate, called "Tianbi City", and there are some monks in and out of the surrounding area, which seems to be more lively.
"Xiao Cui, there seem to be a lot of monks in Tianbi City. Xiao Yan looked at it for a moment and spoke.
"Yes, this Tianbi Island is the largest fairy island around, in addition to having a station here, the four major families also have their own spirit islands, and in addition to the four major families, there are many small and medium-sized families, of course, there are some casual cultivators, but the number of casual cultivators is relatively small, like some loose cultivators with better spiritual root qualifications, they have joined some families. Xiao Cui explained.
"Well, this is the scale of Bicheng this day, I don't know if there are any Yuan Infant Stage monks here?" Xiao Yan nodded, and asked about the sermon.
"Yuan Infant Monk, as a slave, how could Xiao Cui know such a thing. Xiao Cui showed surprise on her face, and replied helplessly.
"Hehe, that's right, then where are we going now?" Xiao Yan smiled faintly, showing a hint of embarrassment, thinking that a monk in the Qi refining stage would ask the Yuan Infant stage monk, which was inevitably a bit difficult for a strong man.
"Go to my family's mansion, now the young master is busy, so he can't get out to invite him, so he can only be done by Xiaocui. Xiao Cui smiled again and replied.
"What's so special about your young master?" Xiao Yan continued to ask.
"This ...... Xiaocui can't say, but the seniors can ask the young master of my family directly. Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment, but still didn't reveal it.
"Well, that's good, and if the ghost wants to sell some items, or buy some items, where should he go?" Xiao Yan continued to ask.
"Any store in Tianbi City is fine, as long as you don't touch the black spots, but if you want to be safe, you should find my store, and I promise to satisfy my seniors." After Xiao Cui said for a while, she reminded again.
"Hehe, you're a little ghost, and you're pulling deals for your family so soon. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Hehe, senior, this business, of course, the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and if there is a young master, it is estimated that the seniors can earn more, why not wait for the young master to come back. Xiao Cui preached.
"Okay, then isn't the young master of your family in the mansion yet?" Xiao Yan thought for a moment and asked again.
"Yes, the young master will not be back until a few days later. Xiao Cui stretched out her little hand, estimated it, and preached.
"Okay, let's go to the city first, although let the ghost get familiar with Tianbi City. Xiao Yan proposed.
"That little cui is here to lead the way, senior, please. "Xiao Cui is very clever, and began to take Xiao Yan around Tianbi City, and also explained some of the history of Tianbi City, of course, it is inevitable to introduce the four major families.
The four major families on Tianbi Island are Shi, Bai, Song, and Sheng, and they all have many Jindan monks in their families, and the Shi family is the most powerful, far exceeding the other three, so the Shi family occupies the main position on Tianbi Island.
And the Bai family is second, and its power is smaller than that of the Shi family, but it is much larger than the other two, so that the Song and Sheng will unite and secretly deal with the other two together, and the Shi family is the strongest, even if the Song and Sheng families are united, they will not pay attention to it.
So as the second most powerful Bai family, although its strength is not small, it will suffer many times, which makes the Bai family always have a feeling of being suppressed, but unfortunately the Bai family is very helpless in the face of the other three families.
It wasn't until thirty years later that the Bai family suddenly had two more Jindan stage monks, so everything changed, and the other three families did not dare to underestimate the Bai family, and the Bai family was also constantly accumulating strength, and there seemed to be a sign of catching up with the Bai family.
After Xiao Yan and the others walked around Tianbi City, they returned to the mansion under the leadership of Xiao Cui, and this mansion was hidden in the downtown area, and it was blocked by green trees and formations, and it was difficult for ordinary monks to find it at all.
Xiao Cui took out a token and opened the white formation, and then a gap opened on the light wall of the formation, like a door, enough for several people to enter and exit.
So Xiao Cui took Xiao Yan into the formation, but after the two entered the formation, they saw a mansion, and there were four guards wearing robes of the same color outside the gate, and when they saw a stranger, they immediately stopped Xiao Yan and the two.
The leading guard looked at Xiao Yan for a moment, released his divine sense, and found that the other party had no cultivation at all, so he said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Cui, why did you bring a mortal to the mansion today, is it the young lady who explained it?"
"Uncle Bai, of course this is what Miss meant, do you need me to take out Miss's token?" Xiao Cui replied as she looked at the leader of the guard with a small beard.
"No need, I'm really afraid of you little girl, every time I use Miss to pressure us, let's go in, anyway, it's a mortal, and I won't make any trouble." The lead guard shook his head and spoke helplessly.
