Chapter 497 Exchange Request
However, when Zhou Yunxiao and the two saw these two fourth-level treasures appearing on the list, although they were very reluctant to part with them, they were not unable to accept them.
After all, the Lin family already owns 20% of the loot, so there is nothing wrong with getting two fourth-level treasures.
In addition to these two fourth-level treasures, the Lin family also has several third-level treasures, all of which are extraordinary.
Among them are the mahogany trees that Lin Tianming has coveted for a long time, a third-level alchemy furnace, and the mountain-protecting formation of the Golden Sword Sect.
In addition, even the incomplete spiritual art they found in the Sutra Pavilion was also on Lin Tianming's list.
The value of these things is extremely high.
Not to mention the mahogany wood and the third-level alchemy furnace. Although they are very valuable, they don't value them too much.
But the defensive formation of the Golden Sword Sect is something that improves the basic strength of a force. There are only more than 20 sets in the entire Wei State, either the mountain protection formations of the major sects, or those medium-sized squares. The city's defense formation.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the value of the third-level formation is immeasurable.
In addition, the incomplete spiritual art cannot be imprinted. Although it is a incomplete product, once another part is found, its value will be much higher than a fourth-level treasure.
Therefore, seeing these next few treasures, Zhou Yunxiao and his two men looked a little ugly.
After a long time, Zhou Yunxiao and Zhou Yunxiao looked at each other, and then Zhou Yunxiao smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Daoist Lin, the value of the treasures on this list is still too high, and we at Ten Thousand Medicine Valley may not be able to accept it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xingfeng also echoed.
“Not bad... Let’s take a look, is it reasonable to subtract some of these treasures?”
After hearing this, Lin Tianming was silent for a moment and thought for a moment.
In his eyes, the treasures that the Lin family wanted to obtain were not much different from the 20% benefit that the Lin family deserved.
It’s just that there are many high-value treasures, and the overall quality is indeed impressive, especially those two fourth-level objects, as well as the defensive formation and incomplete spiritual arts. He doesn’t want to give them up anyway.
But if you think about it carefully from the perspective of Zhou Yunxiao and Zhou Yunxiao, the treasures that the Lin family wants to get are indeed a bit harsh.
Recovering for a moment, Lin Tianming and Lin Shikang looked at each other, and then communicated through voice messages.
Soon, a few breaths passed.
At this time, Lin Tianming said: "Two fellow Taoists, in addition to those few precious treasures, dozens of ordinary third-level treasures can be reduced, and when the land is allocated in the future, the Lin family How about reducing the area by half as compensation for Guizong?"
"This...this?"
Hearing what Lin Tianming said, Zhou Yunxiao was also a little hesitant.
So, Zhou Yunxiao looked at Lu Xingfeng who was not far away, obviously intending to see his opinion.
Lu Xingfeng's face looked as usual at this time, but he was thinking slightly in his heart.
In his eyes, the Lin family also made a concession by using some ordinary third-level treasures and part of their territory in exchange for those valuable things.
After such compensation, it has been reduced to less than the 20% benefit that the Lin family should receive.
If they are still unwilling to make concessions, it seems to be a bit deliberately targeted.
Although with the strength of the Zhenyang Sect, there is no need to be too afraid of the Lin family, but under the current situation, it is not appropriate for Wei to have any more conflicts.
Especially the Zhenyang Sect, whose territory is close to the Lin family, cannot offend the Lin family, a family with great potential.
Knowing this, Lu Xingfeng also made a decision.
“Since Fellow Daoist Lin has said this, I have no objection!”
Lu Xingfeng was the first to express his position and agreed with the interests of the Lin family, which made Lin Tianming quite excited.
Seeing what Lu Xingfeng said, Zhou Yunxiao was reluctant to give up in every possible way, and the Lin family did have strong strength, so he could not hold on to anything.
So, Zhou Yunxiao also said: "I have no objection!"
Then, he looked at Chen Maohua again, and then asked: "What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
"The same is true for me. No objection!”
Chen Maohua quickly expressed his position without even a trace of hesitation.
“Well, that’s it!”
Zhou Yunxiao said something, and then together with Lu Xingfeng, he took out the treasures designated by the Lin family from these storage bags.
As for the other part of the treasure, it is still stored in the Golden Sword Gate treasure house at this time, and can only be taken out later.
Soon, Lin Tianming got two storage bags in his hands, in which most of the treasures listed in the list were already in hand.
Zhou Yunxiao also said that after the meeting, the remaining treasures would go to the Golden Sword Gate treasure house together to take away the profits of each family.
The Lin family would naturally have no objection to such an arrangement.
In this way, the Lin family's distribution of these treasures can be considered an end.
Immediately afterwards, it was Chen Maohua’s turn to choose the treasure.
After a while, Chen Maohua’s interests were distributed.
This process is very fast, because the treasures he needs are relatively ordinary.
Except for a fourth-level treasure that is relatively valuable, the other treasures are of average value, and they are basically things that Zhou Yunxiao and his wife don’t care too much about.
With the distribution of Chen family's interests completed, Zhou Yunxiao and Lu Xingfeng exchanged a few words in private.
Soon, they reached an agreement and decided to wait until the distribution of other interests of the Lin family and Chen family was completed.
At that time, the top leaders of the two sects will meet and continue to distribute the remaining huge benefits belonging to their two sects.
Lin Tianming and Chen Maohua are also quite satisfied at this time, and basically agree with this distribution.
Especially Lin Tianming was actually a little surprised inside.
Originally, he thought that Lu Xingfeng and Zhou Yunxiao were more powerful after all, and would most likely suppress and embarrass their two families, thereby depriving them of the benefits that belonged to them.
However, I never thought that the distribution process would be smoother.
Although the Lin family lost some profits for those valuable treasures, in his opinion, those losses were completely worth it.
Now that this matter has come to an end, the next step is to allocate the territory under the command of the Golden Sword Sect.
The Lin family also attaches great importance to this part of the interests.
The reason for this is also because the Lin family currently has a huge demand for land.
You must know that today's Lin family is also a family with several Jindan monks. There are thousands of people in the clan, including dozens of people in the Foundation Establishment period.
It can be said that in terms of overall strength, it is not far behind the other two sects.
But even with such strength, the territory in the hands of the Lin family is only a small part of the Luoyun Mountains. It is still a relatively barren land, and under the influence of successive wars, it is still It was not recognized by Zhenyang Sect. In this way, compared with the Zhenyang Sect and the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, a territory as big as the Luoyun Mountain Range is simply a world of difference.
Even when comparing the Chen family, which is also a Jindan family, and the Xihe Li family, whose strength has been greatly reduced, there is a huge difference.
Before the war broke out among the three sects, even the Zhenyang Sect, which had the shortest inheritance, had territory in more than 70 mountain ranges.
Looking at the Myriad Medicine Valley, which has the longest history, it controls hundreds of mountain ranges, many of which are much older than the Qiluoyun Mountain Range.
If we compare these Jindan sects that have been passed down for a long time, there may be no comparison.
Compared with the other two major Jindan families, the Chen family controls more than ten mountain ranges, and the Xihe Li family also controls eight mountain ranges.
Looking at it this way, the Lin family only controls one mountain range, which is really inconsistent with the Lin family's current status.
But fortunately, the Lin family and the other two sects had an agreement. After the destruction of the Golden Sword Sect, the Lin family could obtain 20% of the territory under the Golden Sword Sect.
Although the Lin family gave up half of their profits in order to obtain those precious treasures.
However, since Golden Sword Sect previously had a huge territory of nearly a hundred mountain ranges, the Lin family can still gain control of nearly ten mountain ranges according to the existing agreement.
Once the Lin family completely controls these territories, the spiritual lands that previously belonged to the Golden Sword Sect will naturally belong to the Lin family.
In addition to these obvious benefits, the family that previously lived in the local area had to provide a portion of the spirit stones to the Lin family every hundred years as a commission for living here.
Previously, nearly a hundred years ago, the Lin family also donated tens of thousands of spirit stones to the Zhenyang Sect at once, so that they could be safe and sound in the past hundred years.
Although several major families in the Luoyun Mountain Range were involved in a melee decades ago, the Zhenyang Sect, as the sect leader behind it, never intervened to mediate.
In fact, such things are not uncommon in the world of immortality in Wei, and even in other countries.
In the eyes of the Jindan monks, internal fighting between local forces is a normal phenomenon of competition and has no impact on the sect leader's forces at all.
As long as there is no interference from external forces or direct attacks on the forces under their command, the general sect leaders will not care at all.
Therefore, the Zhenyang Sect did not intervene in the internal fighting between the Luoyun Mountains.
Otherwise, the Lin family could have reported it to the Zhenyang Sect, and they would not have been oppressed by the Jin family for a long time.
And these are the basic rights of the suzerain power.
In addition, when the Lin family faces a crisis, they can also exercise their right to recruit Jindan forces and ask their families to send monks to fight for the Lin family.
As the leader of the clan, all the Lin family needs to do is to protect those families who are willing to serve from invasion by other foreign enemies.
And such rules have been circulating in the world of immortality for tens of thousands of years.
It can be said that once the more territory is controlled, the Lin family will have greater strategic depth.
And as time goes by, the Lin family can acquire more mortal cities and develop more spiritual lands.
With these foundations, and with the help of the major families loyal to the Lin family, the Lin family's foundation will be further improved.
Under such circumstances, for the current Lin family, the territory is not only a nominal improvement, but also an improvement in the foundation.
Now that it’s time to allocate territory, Lin Tianming feels quite uneasy and a little excited.
Before this, Lin Tianming and Lin Shikang had discussed it before and probably had a distribution plan in mind that was beneficial to the Lin family.
Based on the current territory of the Golden Sword Sect, nearly a hundred mountain ranges under its command are divided among the four major Jindan forces.
The Lin family conservatively estimates that they can obtain more than seven or eight sites.
What's more troublesome is that the territories between the major forces in the Wei State are intertwined. No matter how they are distributed, it is difficult to gather those territories together.
Especially the Luoyun Mountains, where the Lin family is located, is located at the southernmost tip of the Wei Kingdom, and only has a few enclaves bordering the territories of the Golden Sword Gate.
It is almost impossible for the Lin family to connect the Luoyun Mountains and the newly controlled territories together.
In this way, the Lin family can only find a way to exchange some territory with Zhenyang Sect to achieve their original goal.
After Zhou Yunxiao mentioned the distribution of territory, he also took out several maps of Wei State, and the major mountain ranges marked on them were very clear.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yunxiao exchanged a few polite words with a few people, and then asked Lin Tianming and others, which pieces of land the Lin family was interested in.
Hearing these words, Lin Tianming smiled, then raised his hands to Lu Xingfeng and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, according to the prior agreement, our Lin family can gain control of at least eight mountain ranges."
"However, the Luoyun Mountains where the Lin family is located is remote. If we choose the southernmost area of Jinjianmen, we will not be able to compete with Lin's family. The family is connected, and it will be inconvenient to control it in the future."
"Therefore, we want to exchange territory with Guizong and put Qianchuanfang City and the eight surrounding mountains under the Lin family's command."
"As for the territory that belongs to the Lin family, including the control of those towns, how about all of it be handed over to the noble clan?"
After hearing Lin Tianming's words, Lu Xingfeng also started thinking.
In fact, he also understood the Lin family's situation, and had previously guessed that the Lin family would make such a request.
Otherwise, the Lin family would not have asked for the right to exchange territory in advance before forming an alliance.
Now that the war is over, the Lin family has indeed used this power, which is not surprising at all.
However, in this way, the senior officials of Zhenyang Sect had discussed it in advance, so they also had an idea in advance.
So, Lu Xingfeng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Lin, it's not impossible to get us to agree!"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming looked happy and then complimented.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for making it possible!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xingfeng smiled bitterly, and then changed the subject.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, please don’t get excited. There are conditions for my agreement to this matter. You might as well listen to it before talking about it!”
"Oh? What are the conditions?"
Seeing this, Lu Xingfeng quickly explained: "Friend Lin, Qianchuanfang City is a medium-sized city, and it is also the only medium-sized city in our sect. Although it only took a thousand years to be built, But it also cost a lot of manpower and financial resources at the beginning.”
“Now the flow of people in Fangshi is extremely large, with thousands of shops, and we can earn huge profits every year. Profits."
"If this continues, Qianchuanfang City will continue to expand during the calm period in the future, and its popularity will also increase. This is a long-term source of income."
" Compared with the several medium-sized markets in Jinjianmen, their popularity has been reduced by at least half due to our clean-up operations. It will take a lot of human and financial resources to return to normal.”
"So as a comparison, Qianchuanfang City is an extremely important industry for our Zhenyang Sect."
"If the city is handed over to the nobles, it will be extremely uneconomical for our Zhenyang Sect. "
"If it were you, you wouldn't be willing to exchange the market that you have carefully developed, right?"
