137 Four-star conditions

Before Lu chaoxi and Li Yanling’s engagement ceremony began, Lu Qing had already woken up from his cultivation.

When he heard about the negotiations between the Lu clan and the other clans in the anling Prefecture, he was generally satisfied with the outcome.

The Lu clan’s future goal was to gain full control of the anling Prefecture.

Lu Qing had seen one in the achievement system.

three-star Achievement: control of the prefecture

[control over the entire County has reached more than 70%.]

[reward: 500 karma]

[ this achievement is one of the necessary conditions to upgrade to a 4-star family. ]

......

After seeing this, Lu Qing looked through the achievement system and realized that he needed to meet three conditions if he wanted to raise his family clan’s level that was certified by the system to four-star.

One was [ control of the prefecture ], and the other two were closely related to the strength of the clan’s cultivators. Firstly, the clan had to have at least three initial enlightenment cultivators. Secondly, the clan’s strongest cultivator had to be at the sixth level of the initial enlightenment stage.

This was easier than he had thought. Lu Qing had originally thought that he would need a golden core cultivator if he wanted to raise the clan level to four-star.

The last time his family’s level rose to three-star, it had already brought about a huge change to him. The most important thing was that he could cultivate now.

In fact, this could already be considered a resurrection, but it was a limited resurrection.

If he was a four-star, would he be more open to this limited resurrection?

This was something worth looking forward to.

The more Lu Qing thought about it, the more he felt that he would have to increase the level of his clan in order to be completely resurrected.

In that case, he would definitely be able to control the entire anling Prefecture.

In addition, this was also the direct source of a large number of spiritual stones.

At the moment, the three counties of Pingyao, Sishui, and Luyi could provide the Lu clan with an annual income of nearly 2000 spirit stones. If they could really obtain 70% of the control of the entire anling Prefecture according to the system’s requirements, the income would probably reach 4000 spirit stones a year.

Based on the Lu family’s current situation, it was not realistic for them to achieve the level of control required by the system with their own strength. The current population and number of cultivators in the Lu family was too small. It was not even half of the population of the Zhao family at its peak.

The easier way to take control was like how he controlled Luyi County and Sishui County. Accept as a vassal.

However, compared to Sishui County and Luyi County, the situation in anling city, Changhong County, and Pingan County was much more complicated. They were also the main points of negotiation with the relevant forces through the engagement ceremony.

There were four small families in Changhong County, forming a family Alliance to manage the affairs of Changhong together. Anling city even had a loose Alliance of seven clans.

In the end, the Lu family got tired of talking and decided to just say it.

The Zhao family’s interests in Changhong were divided into five parts. The Zhang family, the strongest of the four families, was appointed as the representative. The Lu family was the guarantor. Two parts were given to the Zhang family, and the other three families split the remaining three parts equally. The remaining three families had to give 100 spiritual stones to the Zhang family every year, in addition to the Zhang family’s own 200 spiritual stones, to the Lu family. As long as the Lu clan needed to get 500 spiritual stones from Chang Hong city every year, he didn’t care about anything else.

Speaking of this Chang Hong Zhang family, the two families really did have some history recently. Previously, when he went to anling city to exchange the formula for the foundation building elixir, Zhang xican, who tried to kill Lu mingchao and Lu chaoxi but was killed in return, was a foundation building cultivator from the Zhang clan of Changhong.

In the past, the Zhang family had caused a ruckus, but since Zhang xican was the one who had attacked first, the Lu family had no problem killing him. Not only did they not gain any benefits, but they were also severely punished by Qiu wanyong.

Later on, although the Zhang family did not provoke the Lu family again and did not have the ability to seek revenge, after all, this incident happened first. Their relationship with the Lu family quickly deteriorated and they did not have much interaction with each other.

But now, they had no choice but to lower their heads. Not only did they not dare to mention the past, but they also had to rely on the Lu clan to survive in the anling Prefecture.

As Changhong County was a little far away, the Lu family’s control over Changhong County was insufficient. The agreement to recruit the cultivators of Changhong County to work for him could not be reached.

The four families in Changhong County were quite satisfied with this. The Lu family’s appetite was even smaller than the Zhao family’s.

In the past, the Zhao family had taken the same amount of benefits from Changhong County as the Lu family, but their desire to control was much stronger. They wanted to station cultivators in Chang Hong County, they wanted to interfere with the development of the various industries, they wanted to manage the various policies and policies of Chang Hong County.

Now, the degree of freedom was much greater. And freedom itself was a kind of right.

After the matter with Chang Hong was resolved, there were only two places left in the entire anling Prefecture-anling city and Pingan County.

Anling city was difficult to manage like Changhong city. There were many people here and the interests were important. The county city was the hub for communication between the counties. The Lu family had to control it by themselves.

Furthermore, it was not enough to just send Qi refining stage cultivators.

After some internal discussion, the clan decided to send Lu Chaohe to anling Prefecture city to oversee things after the engagement ceremony. He would bring ten cultivators from the clan with him.

Actually, Lu mingchao was the most suitable person to handle this matter. She was an eighth-tier foundation building cultivator. If she went to anling city, her personal strength should be the strongest among the many foundation building cultivators in anling city, except for Qiu wanyong’s sect’s initial enlightenment cultivator.

However, she was on the verge of breaking through and would soon reach the ninth layer of the foundation building realm. She still had to break through to the initial enlightenment realm in the future, so it was really not appropriate for her to move out. As for the other three foundation building cultivators in the clan, xueting had to look after the clan’s beast taming resources. Ming Ling and Ting Chou had just built their Foundation for less than two years and were only at the first level. Furthermore, they did not have enough experience and could not hold the fort.

With no other choice, he could only go to Chaohe.

It would not be easy to gain the benefits of anling. Lu Chaohe would have to put in a lot of effort when the time came.

Fortunately, anling city also had a level three man-made spirit vein. Lu Chaohe did not have to worry about his own cultivation problems when he arrived at anling. As for spending some effort to deal with family affairs, it would more or less slow down his cultivation speed, but there was no other way.

And the most troublesome place was still Pingan County.

Most of the Zhao clan’s forces had been destroyed in the battle on Yuyan mountain. However, the problem was that the Zhao clan still had a relatively strong force in the sect. Even though Zhao Zhengdong, who was in charge, had lost his greatest backer, he was still a powerful cultivator in the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage. Since Lu Qing could not make a move, the Lu clan could not afford to offend Zhao Zhengdong.

The main Zhao family had at least twenty to thirty cultivators in Pingan County. Furthermore, a quarter of the population in Pingan County was surnamed Zhao. The Lu clan would first have to go to ping ‘an to attack the other clan’s Mountain Gate. It was hard to say how the cultivators of the Zhao clan would react.

This was especially so after Lu chaoxi had consulted Lu Qing and learned that his father would not make a move again. He would not make such a risky decision.

However, even if the Lu family didn’t make a move directly, they had other ways to do so.

For example, letting someone else take the lead.
