308: Foundation Building Banquet
Zhou Luo is not going to back down, but he also understands.
Since this matter involves another Immortal Sect behind it, he must be cautious.
So after realizing the background of the other side, he decided to put aside Feng City for now.
Anyway, the Lin Family is currently short-handed. If they really allocate some people to control Feng City, it would be quite difficult, and they would inevitably be coveted by the Xue Family afterward.
It's not bad to temporarily give it up.
It will be fine to plan properly after he can expand his influence in Azure Origin Sect with the help of his children.
As for this time, Zhou Luo saw through Xue Dingshan's guilt, so he maintained a strong stance throughout the discussion.
From the outside, the main hall was frighteningly quiet. The Wang Family Head and Li Family Elder also realized that the two might be discussing something, so they tacitly remained silent.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two reached an agreement.
The Xue Family will yield fifty percent of Feng City's profit to the Lin Family each """Nian""", for one hundred """Nian""".
One hundred """Nian""" later, this Feng City will completely belong to the Xue Family.
This fifty percent profit is quite a lot, and this is also a large Immortal City for cultivation. One """Nian"""'s profit is calculated in tens of millions of Spirit Stone.
The Lin Family directly gained fifty percent profit for free, which is considered a great gain.
After all, if you station personnel in Feng City for management, the expenses incurred and the amount submitted to the Immortal Sect might consume thirty to forty percent of the profit. The profit finally attributed to the Zhou Family is also around fifty to sixty percent.
Moreover, to prevent the Xue Family from playing tricks, Zhou Luo specifically emphasized that a special office would be set up in Feng City to handle Feng City's affairs.
From a certain perspective, it is equivalent to the Xue Family becoming a vassal of the Lin Family.
The reason why the Xue Family agreed is, firstly, because Zhou Luo was too strong and didn't budge at all; secondly, they didn't want to make too big a fuss; and thirdly, this cooperation only lasts for one hundred """Nian""".
After one hundred """Nian""", the Xue Family will become the true Master of Feng City.
For a Immortal Family, one hundred """Nian""" is really not very long.
However, what the Xue Family doesn't know is that the reason Zhou Luo set it for one hundred """Nian""" is that he plans to directly take action against Feng City after one hundred """Nian""".
By that Time, many of his children will definitely have a place in Azure Origin Sect, and his Zhou Family will also gradually grow stronger.
As long as he has the capital, he can think of various ways to scheme Feng City back.
Now, it's just temporarily letting the Xue Family work for his Lin Family.
The two sides reached cooperation. Although Xue Dingshan was not in a good mood, he still politely sent Zhou Luo out.
Zhou Luo then informed Lin Guangxuan of the matter and asked him to stay with these hundred Cultivator.
Lin Guangxuan's expression was somewhat complex. He said that he was old and probably could not take on the role.
He knew very well that once he stayed in Feng City, he would probably have no chance of returning to the Zhou Family in this life.
Zhou Luo, however, seriously stated that he would only feel at ease if this matter was handled by him, a senior Elder of the Zhou Family.
Of course, this was just an excuse.
He was clearing some obstacles for his wife.
Although the one from the former Great Elder's faction had all submitted to Zhou Luo, Lin Guangxuan was still in overall charge.
Now that Lin Guangxuan is staying in Feng City, the other one will naturally gradually come under Lin Xi's command in the future.
Lin Guangxuan could not refuse and could only stay.
The Wang Family Head and Li Family Elder also took the opportunity to bid farewell to Zhou Luo, planning to inform their Zhou Family of this matter.
Zhou Luo returned to the Zhou Family alone.
He was extremely fast, returning to the Zhou Family within five sky and informing Lin Xi of the matter.
After thinking it over, Lin Xi felt that this result might be the best and readily agreed.
...
Half a """Nian""" after annexing the Lu Family, Zhou Luo finally prepared to hold a Foundation Establishment banquet.
Most Cultivator will hold banquets after successfully reaching Foundation Establishment. The purpose is to share the joy with other one, let the one around them catch some good luck, and so on.
Generally speaking, this kind of small Foundation Establishment celebration only invites one with familiar relationships.
However, Zhou Luo's status is extraordinary. Now that he controls a Immortal Family, if he were to hold a small Foundation Establishment celebration, it would definitely be a grand affair.
The better this banquet is held, the more it represents the strength of the Lin Family.
Especially after the great war, the Lin Family also urgently needed a happy event to disperse the trauma that came after the war.
So under Zhou Luo's arrangements, the Zhou Family began to widely distribute invitations, inviting Cultivator from all over the world to gather in Maple Leaf City.
For a Time, Maple Leaf City also became lively and bustling. Countless Cultivator wanted to catch some good luck, and it would be even better if they could make connections with the other side.
Family Head's Mansion.
Now, under Zhou Luo's renovation, this place has become a large mansion, antique and very imposing.
"Family Head, Great Elder, things are basically arranged." Xu Changsheng walked over with a smile and said.
Now his broken arm has recovered with Zhou Luo's help. He has become the Zhou Family's Sixth Elder, responsible for matters related to Array Formation.
This Foundation Establishment banquet is jointly handled by him and Tenth Elder Lin Ze, Tenth Elder. It's almost ready now.
"Mm." Zhou Luo nodded.
After the Zhou Family lost four Elder, Zhou Luo also took the opportunity to place one around him.
Among them, Xu Changsheng became the Sixth Elder, Lin Xin became the Fourth Elder, and Yao Wu became the Seventh Elder as a Gu Master.
Although he and Lin Xin were just a nominal couple, under major issues of right and wrong, the other party was very clear about her choice and stance.
The addition of these three Elder, coupled with himself as the Zhou Family's Great Elder, made the Elder Council directly a one-one show for Lin Xi.
And this is just the beginning. Gradually, he will replace all the high-level members of the Lin Family with his own one.
Within one hundred """Nian""", this Lin Family will exist in name only, and the one below will all be managed by the Zhou Family.
Five sky later.
The Foundation Establishment banquet was successfully held, and major forces gathered on the square in the center of Maple Leaf City.
Wang Lang also rushed from the Immortal City.
Since the news of Zhou Luo's Foundation Establishment spread, the business of Xian Yuan Pavilion has surged again. Now he is considering whether to open a branch store.
He plans to come today to discuss this matter properly.
On the square, red tables and chairs were placed. Everyone sat down in order according to their status.
Sitting in the front were naturally Zhou Luo's wife and children, as well as representatives of Immortal Family and some City Lord of various cities.
The Qingyuan Domain cities are not small; most are under the control of Azure Origin Sect.
The arrival of these City Lord this time actually also indicates the Immortal Sect's attitude towards him.
Before long, Zhou Luo and Lin Xi walked towards the high platform from the side, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone looked forward eagerly, watching the couple, especially Zhou Luo, this young Foundation Establishment Expert, and all showed expressions of respect.
Lin Xi gave an opening speech as usual, and incidentally stated that the Zhou Family would still need everyone's full support in the future.
Zhou Luo also said a few words.
After finishing the brief speech, the banquet officially began.
Zhou Luo, accompanied by his legal wife Lin Xi, began walking among the guests, chatting enthusiastically with everyone.
Just then, as if sensing something, he suddenly looked up.
He saw a seven-colored auspicious cloud suddenly drifting from afar. Above it, brilliant spiritual light shone, and a grand Aura permeated out.
As the seven-colored auspicious cloud gradually approached, the other guests present also noticed it and looked up one after another.
They only saw a dense spiritual light and felt a stinging pain in their eyes, not daring to look directly.
Zhou Luo narrowed his eyes. He felt a surging and powerful Aura from above.
That Aura was only stronger than his own, not weaker.
