When he mentioned this, Master Zhankong became solemn.

"Leader, I just wanted to talk about this matter last, because it involves a secret, which I only learned about recently."

"speak."

Lin Shan sat down nonchalantly and waved for him to speak quickly.

"This time we sent ten teams of people to sneak into different locations in the Liluan Mountains. They explored almost all active and extinct volcanoes in the volcano group and discovered more than 20 target points."

Master Zhankong spread out the map and pointed it out to him one by one.

"so much?!"

Lin Shan was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that the volcanic rock was so easy to find.

"The volcanoes containing spiritual veins basically produce volcanic spiritual rocks, so it can be said that they are everywhere, but there is an issue of ownership."

Master Zhankong spoke eloquently.

It turns out that volcanic spiritual rock is a very famous spiritual material in the weapon refining circle of the cultivation world, and is very suitable for refining fire-attribute magic weapons.

It can also play a huge role when used in formation alchemy.

Therefore, it attracted many monks to come from across the country to dig up this kind of stuff, and began to resell and wholesale it, and even gradually developed into an industry.

Later, because this thing was so profitable, it was absorbed by the top forces and became their own. No one except them was allowed to exploit it!

Even after so many years, it has become a cash cow, delivering massive profits to Zhongyu every year!

"In other words, this cake has actually always belonged to the four major families in the Central Territory. It is their forbidden property. No one else is qualified to get involved, including the local Shangyang Academy?"

Lin Shan understood. No wonder there were no rumors about this in the outside world. It turned out that it had been secretly controlled by the top forces of Lu State.

Now that I have occupied northwest Shandong, when I decided to search for resources, I found that these places were already well-known and owned.

It's just ordinary cultivation resources. They snatched a few from the indigenous forces in northwest Shandong. These people dared to be angry but dared not speak out. They swallowed their anger and could only hold their noses and admit it.

But it concerns those four companies in the Central Region...

"Leader, do you think we should take a long-term approach?"

Master Zhankong asked carefully and observed Lin Shan's reaction.

He prefers to stabilize first and not cause trouble. The Xun Gu Sect and the Lujiang League have made great strides now. It is not wise to develop a wave of digestion first. Making enemies everywhere is not a wise move.

Lin Shan thought for a while.

"In this way, you immediately draft four identical official letters in my name and send them to the four top forces in the Central Region, saying that I am interested in the volcanoes in northwest Shandong and asking them to use the resources of this spiritual land.

Give it to me."

Master Zhankong was shocked and hesitated.

"Really? Isn't it too arrogant?"

"No, feel free to go."

Lin Shan has a steelyard in his heart.

If he keeps silent and directly seizes the resources of the four established forces, it will be tantamount to a blatant provocation and is likely to anger the other party.

But if he takes advantage of his current victory and the fact that he has actually controlled northwest Shandong to discuss control with the other party, then the other party will most likely sell him off.

Master Zhankong took the order and left.

He happened to pass by Hu Buju who had just walked in from outside.

When the little fox girl heard that Lin Shan was back, she rushed over with her brother and rushed into his arms as soon as she saw him!

"Young Master, woo woo woo, I finally see you again~"

Lin Shan firmly grasped her shoulder with one hand, motioning for the little girl to be more reserved, and looked at the young master of the Fox clan who walked in with a complex look on his face.

"My promise has been fulfilled, and you haven't left in the past few days?"

Hu Buju replied: "I plan to take my sister to say goodbye to Brother Lin and leave. Thank you very much for the hospitality during these days and for rescuing my little sister. Everyone in my Fox clan is grateful. This favor should be considered a debt."

Once you get it, you can send it anytime in the future!"

Lin Shan nodded and didn't try to persuade them to stay. Things were over here and he was busy with other things, so he didn't have time to entertain them anymore.

But the little fox girl refused to give up and struggled in his hands.

"Young master, I don't want to go back, I want to stay with you! It took a lot of effort to get here, why do you want to take me back?"

"Nonsense!"

Hu Buju yelled loudly, obviously worried about his ignorant sister.

"Do you know that your story has spread throughout the surrounding human cultivation world, and many people are eyeing you. If you don't go back to your clan quickly, why are you still wandering around outside?"

"and..."

He glanced at Lin Shan slightly and said with a hint.

"Now after these days of fermentation, among the many rumors in the cultivation world, there have been negative rumors about Brother Lin colluding with the demon clan. We should not stay for a long time, lest we continue to cause trouble to others."

"I don't!"

The little fox girl was not stupid at all, and she immediately understood that her brother was trying to squeeze her. She immediately hugged Lin Shan's arm and said that she could hide behind the scenes and help him take care of his daily life, such as playing with chickens and dogs.

With that said, he started looking for Xingfu, calling Brother Chicken and Lord Demon Dog. Obviously, the memory still stayed at that time.

Lin Shan reluctantly took out the Star Mansion and told her that neither Brother Chicken nor Lord Demon Dog were with him anymore, and it was empty inside.

"Then I can help you raise insects. You are so busy and you just need an insect master to take care of you!"

"Can you breed insects?"

"certainly!"

The little fox girl arrogantly puffed out her chest, saying that this was one of the innate abilities of the fox clan. After saying this, she winked proudly at Hu Buzu.

Seeing that his sister refused to let go and had to stay by Lin Shan's side, Hu Buju sighed.

"That's all, I won't stay in college, so you can do whatever you want! Anyway, I've run away from home so many times, and I don't want to care about you anymore."

"I was kidnapped before, do you think you can take care of it? I'm not even in the Nascent Soul stage, so I still have to rely on the young master to save me?"

The little fox girl pursed her lips, with disdain for her brother in her tone. She made Hu Buju blush and stammered angrily:

"Okay, okay, okay, then you follow him, I...I'll go!"

The fox went out without raising its front legs, only to turn back with its hind legs.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He said with a serious face:

"Brother Lin, before I leave, I have something to say to you alone. Little sister, please stay out of the way first."

The little fox girl tried to persuade her, and then reluctantly left temporarily.

After Hu Buju confirmed that there was no one around and that only he and Lin Shan were in the hall, he spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Lin, you should know that my little sister carries the demon blood inherited from our clan. Once she reaches the level of demon elixir cultivation, she will naturally be able to condense the demon baby, and she will be the successor of our clan's next clan leader."

"etc!"

Lin Shan interrupted him: "Aren't you the young patriarch of your clan?"

Hu Buju drooped his head:

"Of course not, I'm just showing up to block the gun. In fact, my little sister's bloodline is much richer than mine, and my mother's expectations for her are much higher than mine. She's always been positive and negative, so I'm still shouldering the responsibility of protecting her.

Her responsibility."

"But she has always been so out of touch. She has been restless since she was a child. She has always wanted to leave the clan and see the vast world outside."

"Perhaps she is pestering you because she smells a sense of security in you. You are the only human being she feels is reliable. With you, she can see all the great things in the world."

"The demon clan also yearns for freedom and likes to follow the strong. Sometimes I actually envy her because she has a simple mind and is not stained by dust..."

...

This was the first time Lin Shan heard this statement.

It turns out that the little fox girl insists on following him, not just the innocent Mu Qiang.

Maybe after he kidnapped her for the first time, not only did he not mistreat her, but he actually returned her to the demon clan as promised afterwards, thus gaining her trust, which led to today's scene.

"I still have a question. As long as you have the inherited essence and blood of your demon clan, you can 100% break through the Nascent Soul stage and ensure that the clan will not be separated from the demon king?"

"How is that possible!"

Hu Buju shook his head and told him that it would be very convenient only when condensing the demon baby, but other messy steps, such as demon essence, demon body, demon consciousness, thunder tribulation, etc., still have certain risks.

"And there is only one inherited demon blood, which is just right for her to use. If you want to take away her virginity and break the gong before her demon infant, then it will be much more difficult for her to break through to the fifth level demon king in the future.

..”

Obviously, the reason why Hu Buju stayed was to talk about this.

Afraid that Lin Shan would lose control one day, he pushed the little fox girl to the ground!

Or you may want to take away its inherited demon blood to improve your own strength or secret skills, which will double the difficulty of the original owner's cultivation.
