Chapter 475: A Flickering Year (Part 2)
After the reward, Li Yongfeng's handling of the widows of these dead companions made Qu Qing admire him. According to the convention and rules of the herb collector, the dead people died like this, and the living people were still alive. As the initiator of this herb collection trip and all the local yam search masters, Li Yongfeng did not need to bear any responsibility at all. He only had to pass the identity token of the dead companion to his children and let him inherit the qualifications of the herb collector. However, Li Yongfeng did not do this. Not only did he distribute the medicinal materials originally collected by the dead companions to his children's widows, he also made a promise to take care of his children. Until he became an adult, he would bear all the medicine rents that so many herb collectors had to pay for every year.
Although many people say that Li Yongfeng is stupid and says that he is overestimating his abilities, many people admire him very much and give him a nickname called Renyi Li Langjun. Especially after he sent the medicinal materials that were enough to support the life of those herbs that month in a month, his reputation can be said to be known to all in Wu Town's herb collectors' craftsmanship. Even the herb collectors in other towns have heard of it, and soon a group of herb collectors at the bottom of hisb collectors gradually gathered around him.
Li Yongfeng's actions did not have Xu Changqing's guidance behind his back. He only responded through instinct. It was this instinct that made Xu Changqing feel that Li Yongfeng had the basic conditions to become a mortal hero. Every month, the medicinal materials he distributed to his widow's children were all obtained by him risking his life to enter the forest full of monsters and fog, and he worked hard to pick them. Because the Heart Refining Method faded, his spiritual sense also disappeared and he could not sense any danger in advance, so every time he entered the thick fog forest, he was a life-and-death experience. In this matter, Xu Changqing had no intention of helping, as if Li Yongfeng's life and death had nothing to do with him. He just made a jade talisman so that Li Yongfeng could listen to his lectures when collecting herbs outside.
,Ten thousand
After many herbalists gathered around Li Yongfeng, Xu Changqing deliberately talked about secular East-West gangs and secret organizations after each lecture, which naturally included details such as how to establish and develop gangs, secret organizations, etc. When Li Yongfeng heard that an Eastern Taiping Road could actually affect the alternation of worldly dynasties for thousands of years, a Western Freemason could secretly control the entire Western power, and the surprise and envy surged in his heart. So every time he heard these contents, no matter how tired he would carefully write down every sentence Xu Changqing, and then repeatedly thought about the path he should go.
Three months after Xu Changqing taught, a small gang called the Ku Yao Society was silently established in Wu Town. At the beginning, there were less than ten internal members, divided into several levels such as the wise master of Ku Yao, the managers of the various halls, and the great masters of the world. The internal structure was very complete. The purpose of the founding of the association seemed to be different from other gangs among the poor people in Wu Town. They talked about helping each other and helping each other. As for the specific content, they were not known to outsiders. Outsiders just knew that their members had a Ku Yao book.
The Medicine Sutra, mostly leads people to be kind, helps and loves each other, and there are also some herbal collection techniques that are regarded as secret by others. In the ancient novels of the scriptures, the famous and prestigious people in the herbal collection industry have been regarded as predecessors by this scripture. For such an inconspicuous small gang, let alone the entire Bianwu City, even the aristocratic families in Wu Town did not feel the appearance of this small gang. What they are worried about is some annoying things that have happened in recent months.
It is in this uncontrolled situation that the bitter medicine association expanded among the poor herbicide collectors in Wu Town at an extremely fast speed. In just a few months, its core members expanded to hundreds of people, and the peripheral members occupied nearly 40% of the poor herbicide collectors in Wu Town, and vaguely became another force in Wu Town. The development of the bitter medicine association was very hidden, even so that most peripheral members did not know how many of their neighbors were members.
Although the rapid development of the bitter medicine society has attracted the attention of some people who are interested, it still has not aroused the hostility and fear of those aristocratic families. Instead, they are happy to see gang organizations like the bitter medicine society appear to manage chaotic and disorderly areas for them and do not have much oil and water benefits.
When everyone thought that the bitter medicine association would continue to expand, the bitter medicine association stopped developing peripheral members to the outside world, but instead absorbed a large number of loyal and reliable members from the existing peripheral members to become internal core members. Although on the surface, there was no tendency to expand the power of the bitter medicine association, in fact, the core of the bitter medicine association has expanded dozens of times. Among these core members, a number of loyal and steady members will be selected to establish branches to other towns to spread the purpose of the bitter medicine association's establishment to the poor people in other towns, and gradually spread the bitter medicine association to other towns. In order to make these members have no worries, all the families they left in Wu Town were supported by the bitter medicine association until they became adults.
At the same time, the Wuzhen Kuyao Society, where the headquarters is located, also secretly wins over and bribes those servants from the aristocratic families and apprentices from various stores, and are bullied by others. The power of the Kuyao Society extends to the Wuzhen Huyan. Borrowing the ears and eyes of these little people to master the Wuzhen family, a coral worm
Xu Changqing saw every move of the bitter medicine club. Whenever there was a bottleneck in its development, he would say some relevant content to awaken Li Yongfeng after imparting knowledge, so that the development of the bitter medicine club did not have too many twists and turns.
, Ten thousand
After the establishment of the bitter medicine association, Xu Changqing was no longer as obstructed as he was when he first came to Wu Town. Various kinds of information were secretly sent to him by Li Yongfeng. Although most of them were inconspicuous trivial matters, from these trivial matters, Xu Changqing could also easily infer the major events of the entire Immortal and Mortal Realm in Weiji Mountain. For example, the price of various aristocratic families purchasing precious elixirs increased three times in just two months, such as a large number of people who took risks in the mountains to collect herbs during the thick moment.
All of them saw the scenes of the fighting of gods and immortals, etc. All of this made Xu Changqing know Weiji Mountain without leaving home. Even the battle between the scattered immortal demon cultivators and sect immortals in the three mountains of Lingyao Mountains became increasingly fierce, and the demand for spiritual medicines was increasing. Among these spiritual medicines, ordinary low-grade spiritual medicines that recovered their injuries and instantly improved their cultivation were the most popular. As soon as they appeared on the market, they were immediately taken away by the aristocratic family. However, the price was not only not as high as other precious spiritual medicines, but was suppressed by the aristocratic family a lot.
Seeing that all the huge benefits were taken into account by the Wuzhen Family, and the Brutal Medicine Association fell into a bottleneck of development due to financial problems, Li Yongfeng decided to secretly seize food from the tiger's mouth at a reminder from Xu Changqing. So he set up a drug collection base in the slums of Wuzhen and the towns around Brutal City to purchase the scattered low-grade spiritual medicines from the members of the Brutal Medicine Association at a price higher than those of those Aristocratic families. Then, using the ordinary Ming Ling obtained from other channels, he went to Xiaoming City every month and sold the magic medicines in his hand to those low-grade immortals and demon cultivators who came here to try their luck at a slightly higher price.
Since Li Yongfeng claimed that the price of this medicine was a benefit only for members of the bitter medicine association and did not touch the fundamental interests of those aristocratic families, there was no big trouble. This seemingly selfish drug collection behavior not only did not arouse the disgust of the poor medicinal collectors in various cities, but instead made them envious to some extent. For a time, the identity of the bitter medicine association member became a hot commodity. Many poor medicinal collectors who had originally maintained a wait-and-see attitude also tried their best to join the bitter medicine association, but because Li Yongfeng strictly prohibited the members, each branch only absorbed a small amount of people who were qualified to be core members and stopped recruiting members, which made most people unable to join.
Some active-minded people seem to have seen many opportunities from the emergence of the bitter medicine association, and have established some similar gangs. In a short period of time, hundreds of large and small gangs were added to the nine towns. However, these gangs that spring like bamboo shoots after a rain do not have a strict gang system and structure, and do not have a steady core of prestige, they appear today and disappear tomorrow like a group of grass-roots teams. The armed fights caused by fighting for territory and gangs emerge in endlessly, causing the poor in most towns to be in chaos, while only a few areas can still remain stable and safe. Tiger Pao Hall and the bitter medicine association are one or two, which also caused a large number of poor people to pour into these areas, causing alternative prosperity in these areas.
For the poor areas under its control, Hu Zi Tang and Ku Yaohui completely chose two methods. Because of the immortal battles in the three mountains of Lingyao, Hu Zi Tang, as a major force, was inevitably involved. Xiongliancheng's mind was naturally not focused on small matters such as mortal towns and slums. Although others noticed it, they did not give any reminders because of their vision and mentality. On the contrary, Ku Yaohui seized this opportunity, took the initiative to stabilize the chaos, calm people's hearts, and subtly promoted the purpose of the Ku Yaohuihui in the hearts of these people, making a large number of poor people become potential members of the Ku Yaohuihuihui.
When he was a little more at hand, Li Yongfeng also took the opportunity to hire several unearned immortals who were dedicated to the Tao and honest in Xiaoming City to become the worship of the bitter medicine association and stayed in the bitter medicine association. For this reason, Li Yongfeng also asked Xu Changqing to teach him some low-grade Taoism so that he could control these unearned immortals.
Although the lower-level Taoism is in the eyes of Xu Changqing, it is like a road to the sky and brightness in the eyes of those unearned immortals. Naturally, they would not believe that the head of a mortal gang would understand these Taoisms. With some hints from Li Yongfeng, they all vaguely understood that there was a real immortal behind Li Yongfeng, so their originally hesitant mind also settled down.
