Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 150: Lu and Shan

As the sun rose, Mu Yan felt that such a relaxed start into the day was quite good.

He stood up and walked to the door, his children following behind.

When he stepped out, he saw a rather empty street, yet there were two people waiting up front.

They carried blue swords at their waist, the air around them cold and aloof, their focus entirely on him.

Mu Yan paid them no attention, walking by.

When these two saw this, they stepped forward to block him, their aura becoming somewhat menacing,

"Are you an eunuch?" one of them asked directly.

"Isn’t it obvious?" the agent behind him replied, "Why do you stand in the way of an eunuch? Every eunuch carries royal authority and immunity."

"Hmph, if it was a third-stage eunuch in red robes, he would indeed possess royal authority. But a second-stage eunuch is just a servant, why should we respect him?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

When Mu Yan heard it, anger welled up in his mind. Such words spoken in the dynasty were treasonous! Since when did the dynasty nobles speak so ill?

Was this region really so far away, residing at the border, that such a small rat-like noble family could insult royal authority?

"You dare!" the agent also flew in rage, his spiritual power pressuring the two third-stage cultivators up front. With his late-stage cultivation, he was able to push them back several steps before they steadied themselves.

"Are you blind? Don’t you know who we are?!" one of them raised his voice, pointing at the sword hilt, seemingly telling them to read the imbedded family symbol.

"You are the Lu family, so what? Do you think your meagre small family has any authority?

Whether in this county, the prefecture or the whole dynasty, your authority is less than that of a single finger of mine!" Mu Yan scoffed when he saw them look so proudly.

Just then, he saw a group of three arrive from afar.

Among them was one cultivator at the fourth stage. When he saw the scene, he used his own pressure to make the two Lu cultivators kneel.

"Greetings, envoy of the Hua family!" he directly bowed to Mu Yan while glancing to the two children.

In just a second he saw that they did indeed have some features of the Hua family.

Using his own techniques, he could indeed determine their origin.

Considering this, he knew that the sixth-stage Hua family was many times higher than the Lu family!

Offending them now was just a matter of explaining the origin.

As for the eunuch – well, noble families starting from the fifth stage may be assigned eunuchs by the Imperial Office.

He was surprised the eunuch seemed different than the average servant and envoy-like eunuchs, but he didn’t care too much.

When Mu Yan heard the greeting, he didn’t care either. His own authority came partially from his two children – whether others thought they were Ning or Hua didn’t matter to him.

"Shan patriarch!" one of the Lu cultivators exclaimed in shock, "Why are you here? Don’t meddle into the affairs of my Lu family!"

"Your Lu family? This is an envoy of the sixth-stage Hua family, here to discuss business with us. If you have nothing else to say, then just leave and don’t bother coming back."

The two cultivators were shocked when they heard it. They looked at the envoy again. Thinking of their ancestor’s command to only check up on the eunuch... now that the identity was revealed, they could report just that.

With some anger, they turned away and left the premise.

"Shan Patriarch, it seems the name of Hua carries a large weight around here." Mu Yan smiled and joked when he saw the Shan Patriarch come in person.

"Esteemed eunuch, I hope my appearance here today wasn’t impolite!" The patriarch cupped his hands in greeting.

Mu Yan also cupped his hands then shook his head, "How could it be impolite? I was about to visit the Shan family just now.

Since the patriarch is here, why don’t we directly make a deal?"

"I would be delighted if I could make a deal!" the patriarch nodded in elation.

Mu Yan turned back to the inn and sat on the first floor, directly discussing things there.

The patriarch didn’t seem to mind either.

Sitting, Mu Yan directly stated what he wanted, "Your Shan family has ships going all the way to the eastern shores, which is very far away.

I presume you also cross the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Alliance?"

"Indeed, the alliance is one of our greatest trading partners."

Nodding, Mu Yan explained his plan, "I know that between the dynasty and the kingdom, there is an extremely large region, even larger than the two forces combined. It’s called the Southern Wilderness, one of the four wildernesses of the Central Region.

I only hope that when you cross this region, you take the time to go out and inspect the spiritual roots of all mortal villages along the way.

Give them basic cultivation arts reaching the second stage, and some resources to cultivate along the way.

Once you reach the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Alliance, those that haven’t proven to have talent should simply depart and stay in the alliance.

You can send them to sects directly if you want.

Only those that have great talent and proven to be diligent should be invited.

At the end of the journey, they shall directly enter the county."

Hearing this, the patriarch knew this plan was quite a clean and simple plan to enhance the power of the county.

Still, he knew there were some issues, "Esteemed eunuch, this matter... although these talents will be few in the end, at least one ship returns yearly, so in the end, the cultivators we would get would be quite many.

In the county, we only have three families that opened up a martial arts school, and only one family that opened up a literati academy. We don’t have the capacity to hold so many..."
