Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 313: Merit City

”Pfft.”

Li Wei also realized it. It seemed like the Heavenly Star Sword Saint was interested in Li Yaowen. He looked at Yaowen with pity and said, ”Donʼt be such a simp, bro. Keep simping like that, and youʼll simp till the very end, and end up with absolutely nothing.”

Yaowen was exceptionally beautiful, and his public persona was also remarkably good. Over all these years, itʼs not like there havenʼt been emotional events, and then… well, emotional train wrecks. Just imagine for a moment, what kind of experience would it be to fall in love with a woman who uses the souls of ten million people to withstand heavenly tribulation?

Just the thought of it made Li Wei shudder.

Before long, three months of in-game time had passed.

Li Wei had been consistently paying attention to the familyʼs development. Now that the family had reached the top of Azure Cloud Region, the matters the Li family had to handle had also increased.

Currently, there were no external enemies within Azure Cloud Region, but the family members were far more strained than ever before. They hadnʼt had time to cultivate for three months, being incredibly busy at home. After all, the current Green Valley Town stood at the peak of the entire Azure Cloud Region.

They hadnʼt paid much attention over the years, but when the dust truly settled, they discovered they already possessed all sorts of influences and various territories. Even they themselves didnʼt know just how large the Li familyʼs hidden forces were…

Various minor troubles followed in rapid succession.

[Green Valley Town was preserved in the war, becoming one of the most intact places in the entire Azure Cloud Region. Especially due to possessing an eighth-grade spirit vein, spiritual energy was abundant. Azure Cloud Region cultivators Yearned for this place, hoping to settle down in Green Valley Town. Your descendant Li Yunbing captured members of the Ghost Division Wu Tribe, and then, within a hundred miles of Green Valley Town, used Wu Tribe witchcraft to summon a parade of ten thousand ghosts, scaring away the approaching cultivators.]

[Within Green Valley Town, the conflict between demon cultivators and orthodox cultivators is gradually increasing. Restrained by the Li family, they dare not kill, only daring to engage in combat under the cover of night. One night, demon cultivators manipulated demonic beasts to defecate outside the Demon Subduing Allianceʼs gate, forcing every household in Green Valley Town to join the ranks of poop-shovelers. Li Yunbing decided to send most personnel from both sides back to the Thunderfire Demon Cave.]

[Your descendant Li Dalong reported to you that Li Yaowen was absent and the Dawn Assassins had fallen into chaos. They werenʼt receiving outside business and were already silently tempted by the prices offered by demon cultivators and orthodox cultivators. They walked the streets of Green Valley Town, asking everyone they met, ʼDo you have any enemies out there?ʼ...]

[Your descendant Li Dalong decided to dispatch the Dawn to various towns and cities within the Azure Cloud Region, establishing Dawn branches. The Li family reopened the Harmony Hall, conducting business selling general merchandise while secretly accepting assassin missions.]

[Reporting to you... The familyʼs affiliated forces are numerous, consuming spiritual rice that the Li family had stored for a hundred years, and depleting a large amount of resources for their upkeep. Your descendant Li Dalong decided to help them establish forces in various towns and cities...]

[The number of demonic beasts in the Silver Iron Forest reached one million, lacking sufficient food, they began to cannibalize each other. Your descendant Xu Cuihua decided to have each household in Green Valley Town adopt a demonic beast.]

[...]

Three months later, the entire Green Valley Town returned to its original state, perfectly peaceful. The people of Green Valley Town beat drums and gongs, celebrating the departure of the demon cultivators, orthodox cultivators, and the large number of assassins who loved to stir things up.

In the Ancestral Hall.

The Li family members were listless and dispirited. Heaven knows what they had experienced in these three months! At the same time, they also discovered that, unknowingly, the Li familyʼs power had grown to a level they could never have imagined before!

”This is the Li family now!”

Li Weiʼs eyes shone as he opened the map. Now, all of the familyʼs forces were flourishing throughout the Azure Cloud Region. In every town and city, there were affiliated forces of the Li family stationed. The entire Azure Cloud Region was just as he had hoped – no longer a trace of red, filled entirely with green and white!

In every town and city, there was a Li family business, ʼHarmony Hall,ʼ specializing in reselling goods, trading in necessities for cultivators. Every owner and shop assistant came from Green Valley Town.

For this reason, at the grand ceremony of the 160th year, Li Wei also presented a ”Service Industry Personnel Quality and Etiquette Training Manual.” Now, no matter what level of cultivator, upon entering a Harmony Hall of the Li family, they would see the standardized smiles of the shop assistants, and hear the friendly greeting of ”Welcome!” – a service concept reaching the pinnacle of Azure Cloud Region.

Li Wei could even imagine that, in the days to come, the Li family would only need to sit at home to reap large sums of spirit stones and become wealthy!

[Following a proposal from the people of Green Valley Town, Green Valley Town has been renamed – Merit City]

”Renamed?”

Seeing this message, Li Wei raised his eyebrows.

He zoomed in on the map, and it was no wonder Green Valley Town would be renamed.

The current Li family residence was already different from before. After many years of development under Li Kuangtu, the city was divided into the Li family core area, inner layer, and outer layer, all of which had terrain transformed by the Primordial Blood Tree and were paved with stone bricks engraved with mysterious patterns.

The circular town gradually rose, layer by layer, towards the very center. The further inward you went, the taller the city walls became, making it look like a cake.

More and more cultivators were appearing in Merit City. Everywhere you looked, cultivators were flying about. They all developed from the original Green Valley Village villagers and would, generation after generation, guard Merit City.

Further out from the City was the Silver Iron Forest... Currently, there were still many captured Wu Tribe members within Merit City. Every day, they would change the terrain outside Merit City. High mountains, trees, and lakes were all being developed.

In addition, beneath Merit City, spirit stones were still being piled up, and various spirit arrays were drawing in spiritual energy from heaven and earth. In the future, the spiritual energy here would become increasingly rich, making it a true sacred cultivation ground.

In the outer forest, the spirit trees controlled by the Primordial Blood Tree would be the most loyal guardians. Underground, numerous stone beasts were buried, ready to burst out of the earth at any moment and become Li family protectors. Various kinds of spirit beasts in the forest were slowly adapting to the new environment, gradually becoming self-sufficient, to the point that spirit beasts could be seen in the mountains and lakes.

Around Merit City, array foundations for spirit arrays were also being established. Every day, Merit City cultivators guarded them, ready to activate the great array at any time.

If enemies were to invade, then they would know what is meant to be truly impenetrable!
