Since Guo Huai took over Yicheng, he has demonstrated outstanding leadership skills and foresight. He knew that in order to achieve long-term peace and stability in Yicheng, he must first conquer the tribes and end the division of Yicheng.
Therefore, he personally arranged for Gu Yan to lead the Black Iron Army to conquer the disobedient tribes one by one, and quickly calmed down the situation in Yicheng with thunderous means.
Under Guo Huai's iron-fisted rule, more than 360 tribes in Yicheng all surrendered. His reputation spread far and wide and he became the overlord of Yicheng.
However, Guo Huai did not become complacent because of this, but paid more attention to people's livelihood. He knows very well that only by allowing people to live and work in peace and contentment can Yicheng's prosperity and stability be truly realized.
Therefore, he vigorously developed the economy and encouraged the development of commerce, which made Yicheng's economy prosperous and the living standards of various tribes greatly improved.
In order to increase tax revenue, Guo Huai took a series of measures. He canceled the tax privileges of the three major families and unified all taxes into the city lord's palace.
At the same time, he also actively supported the development of small families and encouraged them to participate in the construction of Yicheng. These measures not only increase tax revenue, but also promote economic development and social stability in Yicheng.
With Guo Huai's efforts, Yicheng completed its unification and became a prosperous and powerful city. His achievements have been widely recognized and praised by people, and he has become an outstanding leader in the history of Yicheng.
However, Guo Huai was not satisfied with this. He knew that he had a great responsibility and must continue to work hard to make greater contributions to the development and prosperity of Yicheng.
From now on, Yicheng will be Guo Huai's own foundation. How can he not do his best? Now Yicheng can receive up to 300,000 immortal crystals from various taxes every year, and the Yuqing Sect has annexed the industries of the three original families and the city lord's mansion. These industries can generate an income of 50,000 immortal crystals per year.
Guo Huai made a rough calculation and found that the entire Yuqing Sect needed to consume about 100,000 fairy crystals a year, and Guo Huai could still have a balance of 250,000 fairy crystals every year.
It can be seen how huge the benefits can be obtained after unifying Yicheng. Otherwise, why would the original Lai Wentai be so obsessed with completely unifying all the major forces in Yicheng?
After the last war, Guo Huai gained a lot. He now has more than two million immortal crystals and three middle-grade immortal weapons, namely the Dark Soul Pearl, the Pure Heart Jade, and the Dragon Immortal Sword.
In addition, he also has hundreds of low-grade immortal weapons. Guo Huai did not keep all this wealth for himself, but distributed it generously to his subordinates.
He gave each of Ling Zhantian and Gu Yan ten low-grade immortal weapons and one hundred thousand immortal crystals. The remaining two heavenly immortals each received 30,000 immortal crystals and three low-grade immortal weapons, and the remaining earthly immortal monks also received corresponding rewards.
Guo Huai's generosity and justice won the heartfelt support and love of his subordinates. They know that Guo Huai is a leader worth following. He not only has excellent leadership skills, but also has a broad mind and noble moral character.
Under the leadership of Guo Huai, they will surely be able to create more brilliant achievements and make greater contributions to the development and prosperity of Yicheng.
In a valley 10,000 miles northeast of Yicheng, this is the newly built Yuqing Sect. The new Yuqing Sect is not only magnificent, but also has a fairy spring. The entire sect's magic circle is filled with rich fragrance. The fairy spirit.
The immortal energy here is extremely rich and pure. Except for the Tianxian monks who are on duty in Yicheng and stationed at the branch, all the Yuqing Sect is practicing near the immortal spring.
In this valley, a majestic mountain peak stands in the center. At the top of the mountain is a magnificent palace called "Yuqing Palace".
The western part of the palace is shrouded in clouds and mist, making it seem like you are in a fairyland. The walls of the palace are inlaid with countless gems, shining with dazzling light.
The interior of the palace is even more gorgeous. The ground is covered with beautiful jade, exquisite paintings are hung on the walls, and a huge luminous pearl is inlaid on the ceiling, illuminating the entire palace.
In the center of the mountain behind the palace is a fairy spring. The water of the fairy spring is filled with a light layer of mist. If you look closely, the spring water is crystal clear, and you can see the stones and water plants at the bottom of the spring.
The fairy spring is surrounded by a circle of stone pillars. The stone pillars are carved with various exquisite patterns and runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
Directly above the fairy spring is a huge formation, inlaid with countless gems and jade, shining with dazzling light. At the center of the formation is a huge spiritual bead, which exudes rich spiritual energy, as if it will cover the entire valley.
At this time, all the monks were immersed in cultivation, and their bodies exuded a faint aura, blending with the surrounding immortal energy. Their expressions were very focused, as if they had forgotten everything around them.
Among this group of monks, there are three particularly eye-catching and beautiful female monks. They are the three sisters of the Mu family. After a hundred years of practice, relying on this fairy spring, they successfully broke through to the late stage of Tianxian and became the members of the Yuqing Sect. In addition to Guo Huai The strongest fighting force outside.
Guo Huai did not practice in seclusion here. He practiced in the newly built Fengming Hall, which was Guo Huai's residence. He devoted himself to practicing the "Chaos Swallowing Heaven Technique", hoping to break through to the third level of body refining within a hundred years.
Guo Huai now has plenty of obsidian and various rare fairy minerals, and there is no shortage of resources. What he lacks is only time. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, and Guo Huai finally succeeded in breaking through the third level of body refining.
During these hundred years, he practiced in seclusion in Fengming Hall and never left. His room is filled with various cultivation resources, including obsidian, fairy mines, elixirs, etc.
He spends a lot of time on cultivation every day, constantly absorbing the metal spiritual energy from various fairy mines to improve his cultivation.
During these hundred years, he experienced countless failures and setbacks, but he never gave up. He knows that only through continuous hard work and persistence can he break through his limits and reach a higher realm.
Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he made a qualitative breakthrough in his cultivation and successfully reached the third level of body refining.
Guo Huai slowly opened his eyes and felt the terrifying power within his body. The strength of this third level of body refining was at least a hundred times stronger than his previous second level.
If the old self meets the current self, I'm afraid the old self won't be able to withstand the moves of the current self. Guo Huai looked at the ore residue piled up into a hill around him. With a wave of his sleeve, a strong wind blew past, and there was no longer a trace of dust on the ground.
"It's time to go out and take a look. I haven't shown up in the past hundred years. I wonder if anything has happened in Yicheng."
Over the past hundred years, Guo Huai has been checking the entire Yicheng's accounts every ten years. The rest of the accounts are not very involved in management. Gu Yan and Ling Zhantian are mainly responsible for taking care of them.
When Guo Huai came to the fairy spring, he immediately attracted the attention of the immortal monks practicing here. They all stood up and saluted Guo Huai and said, "I have met the sect master!"
Guo Huai's cultivation was even more unpredictable, making everyone feel fear in their hearts. Even the three strongest sisters of the Mu family felt deeply fearful, as if they were facing a huge beast from the wild.
"I haven't left home in the past hundred years, how is the Yuqing Sect developing now?" Guo Huaitian said calmly.
"Sect Master, during your retreat, the Yuqing Sect has developed very well. We have added six new Heavenly Immortal monks and hundreds of Earthly Immortal monks, and our taxes have also increased a lot."
The person speaking was none other than Ling Zhantian. He was an acquaintance of Guo Huai's from the lower world. He had grown up with Guo Huai in the fairy world. He was a trustworthy person.
