Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 518 - 243, Family Background and Preparations_3

"As for the Xuanting Bureau, Commander Bai Yunfan broke through to the Grandmaster Realm in May. The Xuanting Bureau governs the laws and orders of four prefectures, inspects and corrects illegal activities, and protects the local areas. Hexi Prefecture alone comprises four prefectures and fifteen counties, making a total of nineteen cities, thus requiring a considerable number of hands."

Each of the four prefectural cities has established a Xuanting Bureau, with one Deputy Magistrate, three hundred Department Members, and five full-strength law enforcement teams, with a thousand members; the remaining fifteen counties also have a Xuanting Bureau, each with one Magistrate, one hundred Department Members, and one law enforcement team.

The Deputy Magistrate is in charge of the local laws and orders, and naturally, both cultivation and character must be satisfactory. The current requirement is set at least at the Dan Embracing Phase, with Bai Yunfan directly appointing them, but of course, this is subject to the Family Head’s approval. Department Members each have their own area to supervise and their cultivation must not be too low. Originally, the requirement was meant to be at the Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm, but given the current shortage of such warriors in the clan, it has been relaxed to Ten Layers of Body Openings, with the idea of raising it once their cultivation improves; the law enforcement team has slightly lower requirements, only needing cultivations at the Seventh Level of Body Opening or above."

In fact, the Xuanting Bureau’s functions are similar to those of the Prison Admin Department of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, the only difference being that in addition to inspecting and correcting illegality, the Prison Admin Department also handles local demon issues. It’s said that the Hou Clan should also establish such a department, but the problem is that since the great demon turmoil the year before last, hardly any demons can be seen within the four prefectures, which is quite a big advantage Hou Yuxiao has picked up."

"The commander of the Mi Yao Bureau, Li Sanyun, is also at the Grandmaster Realm in cultivation. His own level as a pharmacist is still second-rate. He has quite a few apprentice pharmacists under him, more than two hundred, but very few have been promoted to second-rate pharmacists, and this year, only two have made it."

Luckily, big brother acquired some elixir recipes from Hedong, and currently, the clan can produce five kinds of standard elixirs, all second-rate, which include the Body Strengthening Pill for Martial Artists of the Open Body Realm, the Tiger Leopard Pill that can briefly enhance strength, the Condensing Gang Pill for Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm, the Inner Yuan Pill for restoring inner breath, and the Black Bone Pill for healing wounds.

The family now governs a large area and lacks no source of spiritual medicine, so the number of Spirit Pills produced is substantial. Not only can they meet the clan’s usage, but they can also spare an excess of thirty to forty percent for sale. The profits from these five kinds of Spirit Pills are very considerable. Elixir income constitutes the largest income for the family, aside from tax revenue!"

Hearing Hou Yuduan mention the elixir recipes, a faint glimmer of excitement rose in Hou Yuxiao’s eyes. It was a pity that Li Sanyun was still a second-rate pharmacist. If he could advance to first-rate, and thereby produce the Zhen Yuan Pill for Martial Artists of the Grandmaster Realm, that would be even better.

However, one shouldn’t expect too much. Considering how precious a pharmacist is, having Li Sanyun as a second-rate pharmacist in the Hou Clan is already quite good. To hope for more would be nothing but a dream. What needed to be done now was to wait for the day Li Sanyun advanced on his own, and then those elixir recipes in his mind could be put to use."

"Next, is our own Hou Clan private army..."

The most interesting topic had arrived!

At the mention of "Hou Clan private army," the eyes of Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yucheng instantly lit up, focusing entirely on Hou Yuduan.

It must be noted that while Hou Yucheng is the Commander of the Zhaoyang Army, he is well aware that the Hou Clan commands more than just the Zhaoyang Army. In April, Hou Yuduan brought back the Red Flame Angry Waves Holy Army Code. The secretly trained five thousand men should also be ready to form an army by now.

Hou Yuduan himself felt a bit excited, with a hint of enthusiasm rising in his eyes. Glancing toward the north, he spoke softly, "Follow me, let’s go have a look at Baiye!"
