178: Chapter 178 Lingxiu Mountain

With no other choice, that semi-saint expert had to stay behind to temporarily keep an eye on the Female Corpse King.

He ordered the people of the Seven Great Sects to take their subordinates and Disciples to clear out the Evil Corpses and ghosts outside!

Because he knew that these ghastly things would only get stronger as time went on. If they didn't clear them out now, it would be too late when they eventually tried!

The Seven Great Sects, also feeling helpless, had no choice but to send another batch of Disciples to exterminate these ghosts!

At the same time, they also ordered a group of Sects and families that were affiliated with them to send their own experts to join the effort!

They knew that those ghastly things had already completely spread out, and suppressing them entirely would require a massive expenditure of manpower and resources!

Suddenly, the entire Qing Province became turbulent. Under the leadership of the Dao One Holy Land and the Seven Great Sects...

Countless forces began advancing towards the Hundred Kingdoms Territory. Besides the orders from these major powers, they were also driven by the desire for Soul Crystals and Corpse Pearls!

One could increase Soul Power, and the other contained immense energy that could increase cultivation, though of course, they had to be specially processed first!

However, none of that mattered; as long as the items were valuable, that was enough!

Furthermore, to facilitate travel, the Seven Great Sects had engaged in friendly negotiations with the Level 6 Yao Beasts in the Hengyuan Mountains, obtaining the right of way!

But none of this had much to do with Qin Xiao anymore!

After several months of stopping and going, sightseeing along the way, Qin Xiao finally arrived in the Taian Territory.

Then, he traveled into Leizhou and entered Qingxuan County!

The cultivation resources here in Qingxuan County were mediocre; there were no Spirit Stone mines or spiritual material mines, and not even high-grade medicinal herb fields.

The level of Spiritual Qi was even lower than in other places, and there were no areas where Spiritual Qi gathered; overall, it was quite mediocre.

Therefore, powerful forces looked down on Qingxuan County and established themselves elsewhere, so there were no major powers rooted here.

The strongest expert in Qingxuan County was merely at the Yin Yang Realm, and most other forces only had Martial Artists at the Magic Power Realm holding down the fort!

There were many reasons why Qin Xiao chose Qingxuan County, and these factors were among them.

There were no overly powerful forces in Qingxuan County, making it very suitable for the development of the Qin Family. They wouldn't be constantly harassed by other major forces or subjected to various schemes against them.

Although Qin Xiao didn't fear them, he didn't want to be constantly entangled in trouble, as that would ruin his mood, and he couldn't possibly keep an eye on his clansmen every single moment.

Moreover, most of the places rich in Spiritual Qi were already occupied by major forces. Since the Qin Family was new here, they shouldn't be too arrogant and should act with a low profile.

Most importantly, regarding the Qin Family's strength, besides him, there were only six Yin Yang Realm experts, and all six of these Yin Yang Realm experts were his women!

If you excluded his women, the Qin Family only had a dozen or so Magic Power Realm experts. With such strength, even if they occupied those places rich in Spiritual Qi, it would be useless!

Qin Xiao had always believed that the strength of a faction, besides its top experts, also depended on a large number of mid-level Martial Artists; these were the foundation of a Family!

The Qin Family had been carried by him the whole way. Although they had many resources, they hadn't converted them into strength, lacking experts to hold down the fort and expand!

Aside from lacking resources and having lower Spiritual Qi, this Qingxuan County was actually quite nice!

The scenery was beautiful, with lush mountains and clear waters, dense river networks; the overall landscape was truly enchanting!

Inside the main cabin of the flying boat, Qin Xiao was with many of his wives and concubines, including Ye Suxin, Nalan Feiyin, Bai Suzhen, Empress Duanmu, and Yang Qingwu.

"Husband, is our Qin Family going to settle down in this area?"

Ye Suxin asked Qin Xiao with curiosity!

"Yes, I have taken a fancy to a mountain here called Lingxiu Mountain. This mountain has beautiful scenery, is exceptionally pretty, and there are hot springs within the mountain."

"At the foot of the mountain, there is also a lake. The lake water is as clear as a mirror, and at night, the surface of the lake glimmers with starlight, dreamlike and illusory."

Qin Xiao chuckled softly and said slowly!

"And we have already arrived!" Qin Xiao pointed outside the window!

Lingxiu Mountain stood four thousand zhang tall, piercing straight into the clouds, surrounded by several secondary peaks of two to three thousand zhang, like stars surrounding the moon.

Between these peaks lay a relatively large lake with clear water and enchanting scenery.

The mountain ran in a north-south direction, stretching over eight hundred li, and was three hundred li wide from east to west. Three large rivers wound their way around it and converged here, which was truly spectacular.

Moreover, because of the beautiful scenery, it attracted quite a few people to come and visit!

Furthermore, this place was not far from Qingxuan City; it was not some desolate wilderness.

Qin Xiao quite liked the scenery here. After the flying boat landed, he cleared out all the Yao Beasts above the Acquired Realm from the area!

Then, he called his sons over and gave them a few instructions, telling them to immediately set about establishing the Family here and building various structures and landscapes.

He also had Liu Ruoxi, Liu Yan, and others coordinate well!

Looking at the wives and concubines around him, Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Come, let me take you to tour our new home."

Ye Suxin, Nalan Feiyin, and the other women were immediately eager. This would be their future home, so they certainly wanted to take a good look around.

The lowest among them had reached the Magic Power Realm, so they could all fly into the sky on their own to overlook Lingxiu Mountain and take in the beautiful scenery.

However, Qin Xiao still waved his sleeve, swept them up, and flew into the sky above Lingxiu Mountain.

He took them to admire the wondrous sights of Lingxiu Mountain one by one!

First was its majestic, grand, and precipitous natural landscape, which was very unique!

Next were the hot springs flowing out from the mountain body, forming one hot spring pit after another, filled with mist, just like a fairyland!

Then, at the foot of the mountain, there was a large expanse of emerald bamboo forest, with a very beautiful view!

Further down was that large lake, the water clear, the scenery beneath the water visible at a glance. A gentle breeze stirred the lake, making it shimmer, the water and sky merging into one color!

Continuing further down, Lingxiu Mountain was surrounded by three large rivers, forming a unique territory!

The mountains, rivers, lakes, and bamboo forests complemented each other, forming a magnificent landscape painting.

"The scenery here is truly beautiful! It's just that the Spiritual Qi is a bit thin!"

Bai Suzhen sighed from the side. They had seen quite a few beautiful sights along their journey, but the scenery here was absolutely one-of-a-kind and very rare; the only pity was that the Spiritual Qi was a bit thin!

"Haha! Suzhen, you don't need to worry about that. When the time comes, I will set up a Spirit Gathering Formation to draw in all the surrounding Spiritual Qi; there won't be a shortage of Spiritual Qi!"

Qin Xiao chuckled softly. With such beautiful scenery, if the Spiritual Qi were also good, it would have long since been occupied by someone else; how could it possibly be his turn?

At the same time, he also planned to secretly manipulate the earth veins, connect them with the water veins, and bury Spirit Stones to reshape the mountain range, making it more suitable for living!

Of course, he only intended to make changes to the overall terrain and mountain body; as for the other specific pavilions and landscapes, he would delegate everything to the Family members or hire a group to build them!
