Counting from the time when the family was separated in Qingshi Town, the Yang family has developed over seventy or eighty years. From the original two to three hundred households with a population of two thousand and less than two hundred monks, to now there are nearly two thousand households with a population of more than ten thousand monks. The scale is nearly a thousand.
Of course, this rapid expansion, in addition to the massive reproduction of the population, also has the signature of the Yang family. In short, the men of the Yang family are extremely popular in the entire Mengyu County, not to mention those who marry and give away their daughters. Now, as long as there are some slightly capable Yang family men, there are usually more than one or two women around them, and even the Yang family women have no worries about getting married, and there are also not a few who come to marry.
To exaggerate, in the past few decades, about one-third of the Yang family's population of 7,000 to 8,000 people came from wives, concubines, and sons-in-law.
This does not include the various small families, small forces, and various relatives through marriage that have gradually attached themselves to the Yang family over the years with the rise of the Yang family.
Of course, the real main body of the Yang family is not the group of more than ten thousand people, but the core of nearly a thousand Yang family monks.
Among the nearly a thousand Yang cultivators, nearly 80% are at the mortal realm, and less than 200 have truly reached the warrior realm or above. Among them, nearly 70% are only at the first or second level of the warrior realm.
But even so, the growth of the Yang family's strength is also incredible, and all of this is based on the Yang family's continuous advancement over the years.
Today, the Yang family owns almost the entire Mengyu County and Huyao County, and the entire Quwu Mountain Range occupies more than a quarter of the western end. It can support such a large group of monks entirely through its ability, and it can even go further.
In addition to the sphere of influence they control, the Yang family now has a more complete family inheritance system than before. Children under the third generation can now be roughly divided into ordinary family children, elite children and core children according to their cultivation potential. Three levels.
Most of the cultivation techniques practiced by ordinary disciples are the Dharma-level inheritance accumulated by the Yang family over the years or the spiritual-level inheritance without advanced techniques. If ordinary disciples are promoted to the martial arts realm, they will be passed down once in the family. The opportunity to choose spiritual-level magical powers among the land.
Those who can become elite disciples must at least reach the martial arts realm in terms of cultivation. Elite disciples mostly practice spiritual-level inheritance with advanced techniques, and even have the opportunity to come into contact with several treasure-level inheritances of the Yang family. Of course, what you get from the skills is only the cultivation method below the real person level of the treasure level skills.
Compared with ordinary disciples, elite disciples have at least two opportunities to choose spiritual magical powers. The first time is after advancing to the warrior realm, and the second time is at least after the evil spirit realm.
Generally speaking, the core children of the Yang family need to be at least at least the third level of the martial arts realm. Except for a few high-grade treasure-level inheritances, they have almost access to most of the Yang family's inheritance, and there are also At least three or more opportunities to select magical powers from the spiritual world.
However, the current internal competition within the Yang family is extremely strong, and ordinary disciples are just that. Generally speaking, anyone who can be included in the fairy spirit can be regarded as an ordinary disciple of the Yang family, but it is not easy to become an elite disciple.
In addition to the hard conditions of martial arts cultivation to become an elite disciple,
, the normal way to become an elite disciple is to pass the Yang family's annual small competition and the big competition every three years, and obtain the ideal ranking.
However, the Yang family's major competition and minor competition are relatively strict, and the number of elite disciples admitted is very small. Generally speaking, only the top two will be selected as elite disciples in the annual minor competition, and the top two will be selected as elite disciples in the big competition every three years. Comparable to the top eight admitted.
In other words, the entire Yang family only produces twelve elite disciples every three years. In the two-year competition, only the Yang family members participate, and only the children of the Yang family are admitted, while the big competition takes place every three years. However, non-Yang monks were allowed to participate.
Every three years, a total of twenty-eight outstanding foreign monks of the right age are selected from six towns and one city in Mengyu County and one city in Huyao County to participate in the Yang Family Competition. If someone is able to enter the top eight in the end, he will be treated equally with other Yang children and be trained as an elite member of the family.
Other children of foreign races who are not selected can also enjoy the treatment of ordinary disciples of the Yang family. In the future, they will serve as vassal forces pro-Yang family and fight for the Yang family.
It can be said that the elite monk selection competition held every three years by the Yang family is the largest event within the sphere of influence controlled by the entire Yang family.
As for the selection of the most important core disciples of the Yang family, it is much more low-key and secretive, and those who can become core disciples must get the approval of the five core disciples of the family. So far, only members of the Yang family and a few Disciples of real people, such as Su Baozhang, Yang Tiangang's only disciple.
After the Yang family and the Tanxi Sect joined forces to win the victory at the Twelve True Demon Peaks, the Yang family ushered in the most grand elite disciple selection event in the past decades, and it is said that this event will be hosted by the patriarch of the Yang family , Xuangang realm monk Yang Tiangang personally presided over it!
Moreover, it is said that in addition to Master Yang Tiangang, Master Yang Junshan and Master Yang Junping may also appear at this event, and even Master Xia Yuan, a true disciple of Fei Sect who has been very popular in the entire Yuzhou cultivation world recently, is possible. Come to Xishan Village to challenge Master Junshan.
At that time, the monks who come to Wasteland Town are very likely to see a battle between Tiangang realm monks. This is probably a grand event that most monks will never see in their lifetime!
Twenty-eight candidate elite disciples from twelve towns and two cities in Mengyu and Huyao counties have arrived in Huangtu Town, and will compete with the Yang family's fifty-three martial arts monks of the right age for the only eight elite disciple spots. .
In addition to these candidate elites, a large number of monks came to Huangtu Town to watch the battle. They were mainly monks from Mengyu County and Huyao County under the jurisdiction of the Yang family, and many other areas of Yuzhou were also mixed among them. The monks came after hearing the news.
