Chapter 573: Chapter 210: But That’s a Different Price, Alchemy Master? I’m Not Afraid Anymore

The jade scroll clearly recorded the information of all the cultivators within the Spirit Land of Five Peaks Mountain.

Within the Spirit Land of Five Peaks Mountain, the cultivators are divided into three groups.

One of them is the Li Family cultivators, a cultivation clan with a heritage spanning several hundred years, primarily focused on talisman making.

There are more than twenty of them, mainly occupying the Five Peaks Cold Pool at the lower part of the Spirit Land, where they harvest considerable quantities of Cold Ice Spirit Fish every year, earning thousands of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

In addition to the cold pool, the Li Family also occupies several dozen acres of Spirit Fields of varying grades, which also bring in thousands of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

In other words, the Li Family can harvest more than ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones from the Spirit Land of Five Peaks Mountain each year.

The second group is the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

They are relatively numerous, with over eighty people, led by a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, the fourth-ranked Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance occupies the largest area, which is also the most abundant in Spiritual Qi.

The major dozens of acres of Second-Grade and Third-Grade Spirit Fields are mostly occupied by the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Besides that, there are various independent cultivator forces.

After all, in the cultivation realm, Spirit Lands like Five Peaks Mountain, rich in Spiritual Qi and almost without an owner, are still relatively rare.

It naturally attracts countless independent cultivators to come.

Over time, cultivators gradually took it as home, each choosing a place as their cave mansion, and even opened Spirit Fields everywhere, planting various economic crops, making the Spirit Land of Five Peaks Mountain seem like a small cultivation market.

Every once in a while, some cultivators would gather here for transactions.

And among these independent cultivators, not all are weak.

Among them, there is even an Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Additionally, there are more than a dozen strong cultivators at the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation and Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation stages.

These independent cultivators mostly follow this Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, creating a triadic power structure with the Li Family and the Heaven and Earth Alliance’s Foundation Establishment, maintaining the balance of Five Peaks Mountain.

"Kunpeng Daoist.

It seems you wish to smoothly take over this Spirit Land, but you will have to go through some ordeals."

At this moment, Master Tian Heng couldn’t help but say on the side.

"I don’t quite see it that way."

Zhou Changwang smiled faintly and said.

"The Li Family cultivators and the Heaven and Earth Alliance cultivators are one thing.

At least with Xu Kun and Zhang Dong, two Celestial Essence City Guard Team cultivators present, no matter how reluctant they are, they have to make way obediently.

Otherwise, unlawfully occupying another’s Spirit Land, in both public and private matters, Celestial Essence City will intervene.

But it’s not necessarily the case for most of the independent cultivators."

Master Tian Heng had a slightly teasing expression and said: "Independent cultivators are like rootless ducks.

But at the same time, they are relatively free.

If they insist on holding on.

Celestial Essence City will not truly make a big fuss over it.

One or two, you might use a kill-the-chicken-to-scare-the-monkey approach.

But if a hundred or more grow notorious for being bloodthirsty, it’s easy to be branded an evil cultivator.

By then, whether it’s the Li Family or the Heaven and Earth Alliance, they would naturally step out and cause a disturbance.

Even if they can’t do anything to you, it would greatly affect your reputation."

Xu Kun heard this and smiled, saying, "That is indeed the case.

Those with power and status are more concerned about this.

So for members of our Celestial Essence City Guard Team, they give face no matter what they think.

But independent cultivators are different.

If forced to extremes, they truly disregard much.

Even we, in our Guard Team actions, generally will not easily push those independent cultivators to the edge.

Because if they truly fight desperately, who knows what hidden cards they might have?

If not careful, there could be unexpected trouble."

He is quite experienced in this sort of thing.

In the Celestial Essence City Guard Team, he has gone through many of these incidents, both large and small.

Occasionally, there have been independent cultivators who rose violently and killed members of their Celestial Essence City Guard Team.

Even though that person ultimately could not escape death, the injured and fallen members of the Guard Team could not be revived.

"I see."

Zhou Changwang slowly nodded, and then asked, "Seeing Master Tian Heng looks so confident, do you have any solutions?"

"Of course, there is a way.

It just depends on whether you’re willing to spend."

Master Tian Heng smiled and said.

"Willing to hear the details."

Zhou Changwang asked without expressing an opinion.

"Each person gets five hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones as a settlement fee.

With two hundred and seventy-two people, it’s just over a hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Since you’ve already bid on the Inverted Five Elements Array with hundreds of thousands of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, you likely wouldn’t mind these hundred thousand or so Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, right?"

"What if they refuse to leave even after receiving the Spirit Stones?"

Zheng Ajiu, who was on the side, couldn’t help but interject, cautiously continuing upon seeing Zhou Changwang wasn’t upset: "Also, for some low-tier cultivators, five hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones might suffice.

But within the Spirit Land, there are quite a few late-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners, and even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Those people cannot be dismissed with just five hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Additionally, with the Heaven and Earth Alliance and the Li Family fanning the flames, it would put the Peak Master at a disadvantage."

"At this moment.

Naturally, Xu Kun and Zhang Dong, two Guard Team cultivators, would need to step out.\nTheir deterrence may not be high for independent cultivators, but it still has some effect.
