Chapter 251: The Direction of Making Money
"Who are you? My son is a disciple of the Qushuang Clan. Aren’t you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Xiang Baizheng roared.
Before him was a sea of flames and the sound of fighting, as a man in a ceremonial robe approached him, exuding a terrifying aura.
This was a Powerful Figure in the law realm. He smiled and said, "Don’t worry, the Xiang Family must be destroyed. As for retribution… that depends on whether Xiang Ying can grow up and how many traces of the past remain by then."
"You—may you die a terrible death!!!" Xiang Baizheng shouted, but as a sword energy swept across, his expression froze, and countless blood scars appeared on his body, causing him to explode instantly.
Boom!
The formations protecting the Xiang Family began to collapse, and the family members and elders fell into despair.
They were already at a disadvantage, unable to see a way out, and now even their formations were broken?
"Die!"
The law realm expert struck again, and a massive sword blotted out the sky and sun.
With a deafening roar, the foundation of the Xiang Family, built over hundreds of years, was erased in an instant, with no one spared.
Even this blow wiped out allies; only a few managed to escape.
Yet no one held any grievances. Under the bright sky, they took away all the wealth and resources of the Xiang Family, making a great harvest.
Once the cleanup was finished, the law realm man waved his hand to remove the barrier and vanished with many looters.
Not long after.
The entire Xiang Family turned into ruins, with no survivors, shocking Yunwen Town.
"These are Xiang Ying’s relatives! Who dares to attack them? Aren’t they afraid of revenge?"
"Perhaps Xiang Ying is already dead. Anyone who dares to strike at his family would not leave Xiang Ying alive…"
"It’s very likely. If they can silently erase the entire Xiang Family, they probably would have no reservations about assassinating Xiang Ying! The only question is whether they succeeded!"
Although Yunwen Town was far from the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, it had spies everywhere. As soon as the Xiang Family was obliterated, the news reached Qinghe Spirit Land.
"The Xiang Family was ambushed and killed; they probably have only four of us left now."
Yun Ye informed the three others of this news.
The three responded similarly.
Xiang Yan said, "Is that all? Then I’ll continue my cultivation."
"After all, this was an attack aimed at the heir; the Xiang Family was too weak and couldn’t survive. We expected this," Xiang Qingrou analyzed calmly, showing no sadness or shock.
"Ah, what a pity. We can’t get many essential things now. If we had known, we should have taken them beforehand," Xiang Cong lamented.
None of the three felt much about the annihilation of the Xiang Family.
After all, the Xiang Family was just a community of interests; there were no real feelings involved. Now that they had found a powerful backing, the Qinghe Spirit Land alone surpassed the Xiang Family, so why should they care about its fate?
Yun Ye also anticipated this situation; the competitive nature of aristocratic families naturally leads to emotional detachment.
The emperor’s offspring could not achieve immortality, yet they fought among themselves for the throne. The aristocratic families fought for long life, which drove them even more mad. Xiang Cong, Xiang Qingrou, and Xiang Yan, although from the same family, were no different from the losers.
In the entire Xiang Family, only the head of the family’s branch had the qualification to pursue immortality, and only they could gain the most resources. The so-called fairness applied only among the descendants of the head of the family and could not be generalized.
In this scenario, it was impossible for the clan members to have a sense of belonging; they acted solely for personal gain—after all, there were even worse small families and ordinary beings to compare with.
"Since they dared to wipe out the Xiang Family, their power must be enormous. They do not fear the master. In the future, unless necessary, do not leave the territory of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect."
"Understood!"
……
Xiang Qingrou placed a twenty-centimeter thick document on the table and said, "Heir, the data from Qinghe County has been organized. Please have a look. Here is the information on all the young people’s talents that we tested and classified, including their Spiritual Roots, Spirit Sense, physique, and even comprehension ability."
Yun Ye immediately swept his Spirit Sense over the document, quickly absorbing the information.
Then he opened the Rebirth Book and instantly memorized it in his mind.
He comprehended all the circumstances of Qinghe County in a brief moment.
If using a Spirit Law device to detect, it could only identify Spiritual Roots and physique; Spirit Sense could only be detected with a Spirit Law device.
Initially, Liu Quan could perform the detection, but was it necessary? The cultivation of Spirit Law could not be supported by ordinary food, and having a talent for Spirit Law was meaningless without proper cultivation.
However, for Yun Ye, even without special training, opening Spirit Law could enhance the power of Spirit Law, making it worthwhile. Therefore, Xiang Qingrou spent considerable time screening for Spirit Law talents.
As for comprehension talent, it could not be detected by Spirit or Spirit Law devices; Xiang Qingrou and others used the simplest method—reciting articles. The shorter the time taken, the higher the score.
Thus, the evaluation of comprehension was very inaccurate; it only indicated a selection of those with strong memory abilities.
Still, as mentioned, strong memory abilities had their uses, so selecting them provided an additional option.
"We categorized the talents of Qinghe County’s people into four grades: A, B, C, and D," Xiang Qingrou explained.
"Currently, there are only 4 in grade A, 41 in grade B, and 380 in grade C; the rest are all in grade D."
Grade D refers to those with all D-level talents; grade C has at least one C-level talent; grade B has two, and grade A has three or more talents, even including B-level talents.
"Recruit everyone above grade B into the cave, and the others do not need to be concerned. Teach them the Qi Cultivation Technique so they can begin their training."
Yun Ye instructed.
"Heir, are you really planning to train everyone?"
"If there are no low-grade spirit pills to accelerate, these people will need at least three years to awaken their Spiritual Roots and consume a large amount of food. Qinghe County has a population of only seventy thousand; it may be hard to support a few thousand people for Qi Cultivation Technique training."
"If training is truly required, it can be done in batches, just as the Xiang Family cultivates stone workers," Xiang Qingrou suggested.
Stone workers are those who create Spirit Stones and are revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners. They do not need to master any Spirit Law; they only need to learn to compress and utilize spirit energy, essentially allowing for a cycle of production with no end.
The spirit energy of the spirit veins is limited, so a fixed number of stone workers are sufficient; having too many would only increase costs.
This cycle is just right.
"That’s fine… I have mastered the formula for Spirit-level superior food. With their talents, they can revive their Spiritual Roots in ten days or half a month, and they will naturally enter a positive cycle by then."
Yun Ye replied without looking up, then waved his hand to indicate for Xiang Qingrou to go and handle her own tasks.
(Spirit-level superior food? Is it necessary to ask Elder Qushuang for it? But producing Spirit-level superior food is quite troublesome, right? Is the heir really going to waste time on this?)
Xiang Qingrou felt helpless as she exited the room.
In the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, strength was the most important; the trivial matters should be left to them to handle.
But this heir was different, with too many thoughts; he wanted to solve everything personally. It seemed he had to experience setbacks before there could be any change, but he did not realize how much this would delay their rise.
