Chapter 403 Small Forces From All Sides
After they own the territory, they can begin to recruit disciples, establish deacons and elders, and make the internal system more complete.
The effect of this was also obvious, allowing them to recruit many talented disciples. Many people were also attracted by the alchemy technology and joined the Xiaodan Pavilion, making it the largest force.
Hearing this, Zhou Daocheng was a little confused and said: "Old Wei, with the environment in Wugufang City, how did Xiaodan Pavilion recruit so many disciples? There should be very few families in Wugufang City, right? ?”
The surrounding environment of Wugufang City is harsh, and it is a newly built city, so most of the monks here are isolated monks, or strong men of some powerful forces, and there are relatively few weak young monks.
Wei Hanshan also explained this: "In fact, with the development over the years, many forces have taken root here, and are looking for spiritual veins near the Wugu Mountains, trying to spread their branches here."
"These forces are different from the Zhou family and Xiaodange. They do not have the residence provided by Wugufang City, and they cannot afford the expensive living expenses in Wugufang City, so most of them choose to settle in the mountains around Wugufang City."
Zhou Daocheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are there many such forces?"
“To be honest, it’s quite a lot!
Wei Hanshan estimated and said: "Some are established by powerful casual cultivators who want to establish their own families. Others are forces and families that have migrated from other areas. The total number should be more than 100!"
"So many?!" Zhou Daocheng was also shocked. On his way back to Wugufang City, he did see a lot of monks, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
But when I thought about it, I suddenly understood.
The so-called more than 100 here definitely does not refer to large powers like Xiaodan Pavilion, Wang Family, Zhou Family, and Qin Family, but to some small families.
For example, some casual cultivators, along with several Taoist companions, have several children, which is equivalent to a family.
There are also some forces that have been in decline for a long time. There are only a few people who have settled down after occupying a hilltop.
Wei Hanshan also confirmed this statement: "These forces are generally relatively weak. There are only about 10 families with more than 20 people."
"However, there are also a few forces. They should be small families that have migrated from other places and brought some mortals with them. So they look larger, but in fact they are average in size."
Zhou Daocheng nodded and had a general understanding of the surrounding situation.
This kind of gathering of small forces is actually not uncommon. It is a very common phenomenon. For example, Donglinfang City is the best example.
Donglinfang City itself has a very advantageous geographical location. It is located in the Poison Swamp of Hundreds of Insects and is surrounded by a large number of spiritual veins and noble resources.
Since it had not been explored before, many monks were unable to enter it. This was because the Wang and Tang families established Donglinfang City and cleared this area.
Therefore, many powerful forces and families will go to Donglinfang City to survive and develop around this city and seek more opportunities.
The situation around Wugufang City is similar, except that there are fewer spiritual veins nearby, and the resources are far less abundant than in Donglinfang City. The only advantage is that it is safe, and the monsters are relatively weak.
Zhou Daocheng suddenly became confused and said: "By the way, Mr. Wei, are there many spiritual veins around Wugufang City? Or do they all live on the top of a barren mountain without spiritual energy?"
Hearing this question, Wei Hanshan also smiled and said: "Every situation is different, but it is thanks to the cave formation of the senior that so many forces can be gathered together!"
After explanation, I realized that there were indeed some first-order spiritual veins around, but the number was relatively small and occupied by a few powerful forces.
But more often than not, most forces cannot find spiritual veins and can only find a desolate vein anywhere to settle.
However, they can buy Tuling Lodge in Wugufang City.
Generally speaking, earth spirit huts that reach the first-level mid-grade or the first-order high-grade quality will be equipped with a "spirit gathering array", which can make the concentration of spiritual energy inside it at a relatively high level, barely replacing the spiritual veins.
At the same time, Tu Ling Xiaoshe is also equipped with several other formations with different functions, such as mist formation, poisonous swamp formation, earth defense formation, etc.
A small cave formed by two or three earth spirit huts can also be used as a small residence, and the safety is even higher than that of an ordinary first-level spiritual residence!
If we purchase a batch of spirit-swallowing ant spirit beasts from the Spirit Snake Sect and station them around the Tuling Lodge, the security will be further improved.
This is the convenience that Fangshi brings to all parties, and it is also the attraction of Wugu Fangshi.
After all, in other cities, there is no formation like Tu Ling Xiaoshe, and there are no spiritual beasts for sale. These are extremely precious items.
Zhou Daocheng was very satisfied with this development situation, and took the initiative to remind Wei Hanshan that he must encourage such things and let more forces settle around Wugufang City. Whether they are casual cultivators or forces, as long as they are willing to come, they are welcome. A good thing.
Because the development of the city depends on the monks, only if the number of monks is large enough, can Wugufang City be strong enough to develop.
Whether it is to expand the hunting team and guard team, or to recruit disciples in Xiaodan Pavilion, or to recruit guests from the Wang family, Zhou family, and Qin family, or to expand the mercenary team of Shanhai Pavilion, a huge number of monks are needed as the basis.
Zhou Daocheng was also thinking that the hunting team and the guard team had not expanded for a long time, and a group of people stayed in Yunyin Island, resulting in a serious shortage of guards in Wugufang City.
It seems that in the next period of time, it is necessary to absorb a group of guards and hunting team members.
Of course, it is best to form a system to train members of the hunting team and the guard team internally, which is not only of higher quality, but also more reliable to use.
The problem of the hunting team and the guard team is related to the third part of Wugufang City-the cultivation of private combat power.
Wugufang City is slightly different from other cities!
Baihefang City was jointly built by multiple forces. Donglinfang City was also jointly built by Wang Tang and his family.
However, Wugufang City has only one owner, that is Zhou Daocheng, so there is a large part of private combat power inside, mainly hunting teams and guards.
Next to the underground ice cave, a huge underground space has been built in advance, which is specially used for the living and training of hunting teams and guards. The internal environment is very good, and it is an area hidden under a deep pool.
Zhou Daocheng paid great attention to the training of this group of private combat forces, and equipped them with special magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, formations, etc., so that they have stronger strength among the same level.
