I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head



After sending Yi Yunyao off, all that was left was to clean up the mess.

The leaders of the various families had been captured by Chu Yunfan. He had also killed the leader and elders of the Blood Demon Sect. The remaining people had long since become useless. It didn't take long for the Chen clan's ancestral land to be broken through by You Chuyun's troops.

As for the remaining disciples of the Wang clan, Fusion, Skyreach, and the other factions, they either fled or hid. Even if they wanted to resist, they had no ability to do so.

After a series of manhunts, the main members were all captured. Chu Yunfan didn't show any mercy to the members of these forces because he knew that this was a matter of life and death, and it was not something that could be held back. Although many of these forces were considered branch members and did not have deep connections, it was better to cry along the way than to cry alone. Those who achieved great things had to make sacrifices. Moreover, these people had also obtained a lot of benefits from relying on these forces, so they could not be considered completely innocent.

Carriages of gold, silver, treasures, medicinal herbs, and all kinds of priceless items were transported into Baotai's military camp. Chu Yunfan had completely taken control of the city. At this moment, no one in Baotai dared to oppose him. They could only watch helplessly as he uprooted all the forces in Baotai.

During this process, besides Chu Yunfan quickly taking over all kinds of affairs in Baotai, the Xu clan also took advantage of the situation to rise up. Apart from gold, silver, treasures, herbs, and various materials, the wealth of the various large factions also included many shops, fields, and so on.

Chu Yunfan didn't need these things. Just as Master Xu had thought, Baotai was undoubtedly a footnote in Chu Yunfan's life. It was impossible for him to take root here. Therefore, these things were meaningless to him and he quickly decided to sell them all.

In the colonel's office of the camp, You Chuyun was reporting to Chu Yunfan about the gains.

"Senior Chu, we obtained a total of 10 million middle-grade spirit stones for the auction house and the land it's on. We also obtained more than 5 million middle-grade spirit stones from the other medicinal herbs and some natural treasures."

As You Chuyun reported, he was secretly speechless. The middle-grade spirit stones were worth tens of millions. If they were exchanged for the low-grade spirit stones one typically used for cultivation, the price would be simply astronomical.

All the forces in the city were uprooted by Chu Yunfan, and all the wealth accumulated over the years fell into his hands.

"Most of the shops and fields were bought by the Xu clan," You Chuyun said, "Now, the Xu clan is the greatest force in the city. The others are simply unable to resist. Are we not to worry about the Xus rising up against us?"

The vast majority of the shops and fields that were auctioned off had been obtained by the Xu clan. There was no doubt that after a period of consumption, the Xu clan would become a giant in Baotai. This caused You Chuyun to be worried.

Chu Yunfan sneered and said, "You think too highly of them. In this world, strength speaks for itself. The Xus would never go against us. If I can destroy the five major factions, destroying the Xu clan will be nothing."

No matter how powerful a faction was, they would not be able to withstand a single blow in the face of true absolute strength. Chu Yunfan was the one who raised the Xu clan, so there was no need for him to be afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the Xu clan.

There were too many things in Baotai, big and small. In theory, they were all managed by him, the garrison leader. How could he have so much time to deal with them one by one? You Chuyun and the others were the foundation that he had painstakingly nurtured. Naturally, he could not waste time on these trivial matters. That was why Chu Yunfan had recruited the Xu clan. Since he wanted the Xu clan to do things, he naturally could not let the horse run and not let the horse eat grass.

However, Chu Yunfan was still excited when he heard about this sum. As expected, a horse would not get fat without grass at night, and a man would not get rich without windfall. To him, ten million medium-grade spirit stones were an astronomical figure.

"As for the specific ratio, we'll handle it according to how we dealt with the Ding clan's finances. Half of it will be handed over to the Ministry of War, and I'll take a quarter. The remaining quarter will be used to purchase armaments and various cultivation resources. I want to build Baotai's garrison into an absolute elite force as quickly as possible," Chu Yunfan said, "All the martial arts manuals that we collected will be kept in the army as rewards. Whoever performs well will be rewarded."

In Grand Xia, though cultivation was widespread, it was only superficial cultivation methods. Advanced cultivation techniques were all hidden in the various powers and could not be seen by outsiders.

If Baotai's garrison were a true elite army, they might be able to obtain all kinds of elite martial arts from Grand Xia's collection. However, as they were just a second-tier army, there was no such opportunity.

Not only were they lacking in cultivation resources, but they also lacked cultivation methods. Chu Yunfan knew many top cultivation methods, but they were not suitable for these people. Although the martial arts books collected from the hands of the major forces were far inferior to what Chu Yunfan had mastered, they were most suitable for these ordinary soldiers to cultivate.

Cultivation was very particular about techniques and resources, and Chu Yunfan could provide both now. As long as they trained hard, it would not be difficult for them to become elite troops.

However, Chu Yunfan did not have that much time. He wanted to improve the strength of the entire army in the shortest time possible. This required a large number of pills, and this involved a large number of medicinal herbs.

And now, it was time for him to lay low and accumulate strength.

"Senior Chu, someone from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion is here to see you," You Chuyun said.

"Thousand Treasures Pavilion? The world's largest merchant association?" Chu Yunfan's eyebrows went up. He remembered the description of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the "World" book of the Flying Celestials.

The Thousand Treasures Pavilion had an extremely long history, and it wasn't any weaker than the ten great sects. It was unknown when it started, but the Thousand Treasures Pavilion had businesses all throughout the entire Grand Xia Empire. Although it was a merchant association, its strength was extremely shocking. It was widely believed that it wasn't inferior to the ten great sects.

The Thousand Treasures Pavilion was deeply rooted in Grand Xia, and its influence was extremely vast. They had relationships with many major characters and were definitely not ordinary.
