"What is your offer, Young Master!?"
"My offer is that I'll buy your Immortal Caves. What do you guys say? I will give you a price for an Immortal Cave that can produce one thousand to three thousand low-level Qi stones a month at the price of one hundred intermediate Qi stones. As for any cave that can produce three thousand to six thousand stones, I'll give you three hundred stones.
And if it can produce more than seven thousand to ten thousand stones, I'll give you a price of six hundred intermediate Qi stones. And of course, if any clan sells me the Immortal Cave, the rate of obtaining intermediate-level Qi stones for your clan each month will increase as well."
Ah!!!
After Zheng-Fu finished speaking, the faces of all the clan leaders in this hall, including Lao-Ying-Ba, Commander Lu-Su, Fat Man Da-Da, and their family members, all froze and were stunned, as the price Zheng-Fu offered was very high.
The price he offered was more than the income they could earn from owning the cave itself and letting it gradually run out. This was a great value. Not only that, but the clan that sold the Immortal Cave also obtained additional intermediate-level Qi energy stones. This was extremely worthwhile.
"So, what do you think about my offer?" Zheng-Fu asked again. His question immediately caused everyone inside the hall to regain consciousness.
"Our Long Elephant Clan accepts Young Master's offer. And we'll also move to be within the territory of In-See City as you wish!"
"Our Brilliant Voice Clan also accepts it!"
"My clan too!"
"My clan accepts it too!"
Soon, more than nine-tenths of the clan leaders accepted the offer, except for the two large clans and only a few other clans, who still could not decide what to do. But then Huo-Ren suddenly got up and walked forward and spoke.
"My clan wouldn't be able to migrate as Young Master proposed. But I'd like to ask Young Master, do we still get that right about the offer to sell the Immortal Cave?" he asked, slightly expecting the answer.
"Of course, Hua Clan Leader. I'm still willing to buy your cave, even if your clan won't move into In-See City," Zheng-Fu replied with a smile to Huo-Ren, who had great anticipation on his face for the answer. And when he heard a satisfactory answer, he smiled admiringly before returning to his seat.
Huo-Ren's question was the same thing that Lei-Da-Su wanted to ask. And since Huo-Ren had already asked, he did not need to ask again, so he just smiled happily. That was because his clan had a few Immortal Caves that could produce stones, and they were far away and scattered in many areas. If they sold it, they would not have to divide their forces to escort them.
And their price was even four times higher than waiting for the harvest each year.
"So, since all of you have agreed, I kindly ask that you all sign your names so that I can know which clans want to move into the city, and which clans would like to sell me the Immortal Cave." Having finished speaking, Zheng-Fu took out a table from the dimensional ring and immediately put the paper and brush on the table.
Half an hour had passed...
Finally, all the families had signed it completely. Zheng-Fu kept that name list to manage it properly. Then he informed all the clans that he would send letters and pay migration expenses later. As for the clan leaders, when they accepted and agreed to all the terms, they returned to their clans first because they had to inform their clans about this matter.
In the end, only the people of the Tian-Tang Clan and the City Lord remained in this hall. They still had to discuss expanding the territory to accommodate the clans that would move in, including the security system and control of unexpected events that would occur when many clans came to reside together.
"Young Master Zheng-Fu, the matter you asked for is not a big deal, but for many clans to move in together, there might be some issues in the future. And there's also the matter of the area where they will come to live, I think…"
"Don't worry about that, City Lord. I've already allocated an area for them. You just send a letter to them telling them about the area they'll have to move to and the necessary expenses. And I will temporarily hand over a hundred of these Nascent Soul martial cultivators to you to prevent an attack."
As Lao-Ying-Ba was worried about the area, Zheng-Fu interjected and handed over a map that he had already divided the areas. He had already guessed which clans would agree, and it was exactly what he had in mind. So, it was easy for him to allocate areas for them.
"Master Zheng-Fu is as sensible a man as he is great at academic and martial arts!!!" Su-Su, who was hiding behind her father, saw the map Zheng-Fu had brought out and unconsciously exclaimed with admiration. She then quickly covered her mouth in embarrassment since everyone turned to look at her...
Oops!
Ha ha ha!!!
As soon as everyone saw her embarrassed expression, laughter rang out. It was the laughter that made everyone happy after going through bad things. And it also established a good relationship between the Tian-Tang Clan and Lao-Ying-Ba's family.
"Well, now is the right time. So, I'd like to leave it to the City Lord." Zheng-Fu clasped his hands and said goodbye to Lao-Ying-Ba.
"Young Master Zheng-Fu can trust me. I'll arrange all these tasks myself." Lao-Ying-Ba also said goodbye with a firm commitment to the matter that Zheng-Fu had entrusted to him.
After that, Zheng-Fu ordered the cheating-faced young man, the purple-haired young man, and the two young women with a force of those hundred ones to stay in In-See City for a while to help Lao-Ying-Ba control the situation and any chaos that might happen. That was because they were considered quite a strong force and could be compared to even those of intermediate-rank sects.
As for the money, Zheng-Fu gave Lao-Ying-Ba over two hundred million monster crystal coins to use for moving things or constructing any necessary structures. Zheng-Fu also wanted to announce to all in the city that In-See City would expand its territory, and the scattered clans of martial cultivators from various corners of the country would come to reside in this In-See City.
That way, everyone would be informed about the changes that were going to happen.
In the wide courtyard in front of the City Lord's residence...
"All four of you, be careful. As for your accommodation, I've let my sister build it for you guys. For now, you'll have to stay at our clan's regular tavern. Once the villa is finished, you can move in there." After getting out of the City Lord's mansion, Zheng-Fu stopped walking and turned to speak friendly to the two young men and the two young women with concern.
"Yes, sir, Master!!!"
All responded willingly without any questions. Everyone was already able to understand what Zheng-Fu said. They also knew the situation that was going to happen well. They immediately agreed to Zheng-Fu's order. And Zheng-Fu's worried expression made them appreciate and respect him even more.
"Here… take them," Zheng-Fu said, taking out four dimensional rings and handing them over to the four guys, telling them to keep them. Inside each of them, there was a large amount of money and intermediate-level Qi stones for the four to cultivate their strength.
"Thank you, Master!!!"
The four of them knelt, clasping their hands up and thanking Zheng-Fu with great respect and humility. Then Zheng-Fu and the rest of the clan immediately prepared to go back to the clan because he still had something to deal with, which was to increase the cultivation level of his own clan.
Now that everyone knew about his return, there was no need to hide anything. As for the news about the two big clans, it did not matter any longer. Everyone knew their wickedness, especially the villagers under these two clans. They were both pleased to be freed from both of them.
But since they were just ordinary villagers, Zheng-Fu told Lao-Ying-Ba to send someone to pick them up to live in the city to increase the population as well.
Two days had passed...
Finally, Zheng-Fu and the procession had arrived at his clan. By the entrance door, many martial cultivators were waiting to welcome them, led by the people of Dan-Chun-Gu and Qi-Er. Next were the other elders, respectively, all of them waiting to welcome everyone home.
"Respect, Young Master!!!"
"Respect, Clan Leader!!!"
As soon as Zheng-Fu stopped at the entrance, the martial cultivators who were waiting greeted him first, then Mo-Zi, the Clan Head. This made it possible to know who was more important and respected. But despite that, Mo-Zi did not think too much of it. He knew well that he had not done much of anything. His current position was as if he was just the Clan Head only by name.
"Clan Head, Father, let me leave this for you to manage. Today I feel very tired. I'm going to rest first." Zheng-Fu turned around and looked at Mo-Zi and Kong-Shi, then spoke up and handed the dimensional rings to the two of them. Then turned to look at Qi-Er with a warm smile and said, "Do you miss me when you didn't see me!!?" Then he walked slowly towards her.
"Who would miss you?" However, the girl rejected Zheng-Fu loudly, embarrassed to see Zheng-Fu's expressions and words just now.
"Oh... you are so mean to me!! Sob! Sob!!!"
Ha ha ha!!!
Suddenly, everyone's happy laughter rang out, seeing the expressions of both of them. Then everyone dispersed to do their duties as before. As for Zheng-Fu and Qi-Er, they both headed back to his residence. Zheng-Fu wanted to rest and balance his energy, as he had lost a lot of strength from the battle and the sudden increase in energy.
At Zheng-Fu's family residence...
After he had returned to his manor, Zheng-Fu immediately excused himself and went to his room. Qi-Er did not say anything. She was only worried about him, so she thought of going into the kitchen and making a high-level monster beast meat soup for him. She let Zheng-Fu go to rest first and would ask about the things that had happened later.
As for Zheng-Fu, when he entered the room, he did not hesitate to examine the dimensional ring he had obtained from the hand that he had cut in In-See City. This dimensional ring originally had a very large size, but when Zheng-Fu took it off of that hand, it shrank and fit his finger. And while he took this dimensional ring, no one could see it, so Zheng-Fu did not think to open it on the way back.
He thought it was too dangerous if there were unpleasant things in this ring.
