As the neighbors of the top sects.
Although the Blue Cloud Sect and the other sects did not have much dignity, their safety was still guaranteed.
For Qing Xu.
Losing face was nothing. As long as the sect's legacy was still there, he would have the capital to turn things around.
At this moment, Qing Xu looked at the elders in front of him and wanted to shout, "Life is full of ups and downs."
But —
He looked at his white beard and dispelled the impulse in his heart.
If he did not break through to the Spirit Martial Realm.
In another thirty years, he would be a person who would be buried in the ground.
Just as the sects of the Liang Mountain Spiritual Domain were trembling because of the influx of experts.
Yuan Zong was also preparing for something.
It was very simple.
Now that the branches were moving, the first thing to do was to build a branch city to accommodate the hundred thousand disciples that were about to arrive.
The city was one of the foundations in the future.
There was no room for carelessness in these matters.
As for the permits to build the city, with Qin Shujian's current reputation, it was not a big problem to ask Marquis Beiyun for a few.
Although the land belonged to the imperial court.
Marquis Beiyun was the one who made the decision in the Beiyun Mansion.
After getting the permits.
Qin Shujian immediately arranged for people to prepare for the construction of the city.
Because of the urgency of the construction this time, Yuan Zong's mission hall issued some tasks to recruit some disciples to help. Qin Shujian also found a large number of craftsmen from outside.
All the materials were purchased from the Carrier Trading Company.
Regarding this.
Lin Wanyou was grinning from ear to ear.
Since the Liang Mountain Spiritual Domain had advanced, coupled with his friendship with Qin Shujian, he had directly taken the position of Chief Steward of the Spiritual Domain.
The entire branch of the Carrier Trading Company was under Lin Wanyou's control.
"Elder Xu, don't worry. The Carrier Trading Company will be able to prepare these materials in three days. When the time comes, I will personally send them to you."
In the inner hall, Lin Wanyou raised his teacup and toasted from afar.
Xu Yuanming also raised his teacup and took a sip. He said, "Chief Steward Lin, of course I am not worried about you. However, this construction of the branch city cannot be sloppy. The materials must be of high quality.
After all, Chief Steward should know that the Sect Master values the construction of the city very much. "
"Elder Xu, don't worry. I understand."
Lin Wanyou's face was solemn.
When Qin Shujian's name was mentioned, he didn't dare to be careless.
Qin Shujian was no longer the True Dominion Protectorate Lord of the past.
Back then, Qin Shujian had been on equal footing with him because he had been the Protectorate Lord of the True Dominion. However, Qin Shujian was now a Heavenly Man and the number one expert of the Cultivation World.
Regarding this.
Lin Wanyou also changed his attitude.
His title as the chief steward of Spirit Realm wasn't weak. In fact, his true identity was comparable to the sect master of a large sect in Spirit Realm.
But in front of Qin Shujian, it was the difference between a firefly and the moon.
It was important to know one's own limits.
Lin Wanyou was very clear about this.
Xu Yuanming said, "Fortunately, it's best that the materials used to forge the city this time are mainly Tier 5."
"Fifth Stage!"
Lin Wanyou was shocked.
For the construction of ordinary cities, the materials used were only ordinary materials. Some of the larger cities used mostly Tier 2 and Tier 3 materials.
Because a city was very big, the amount of materials needed was also huge.
If all the materials were used to forge the city, the amount of silver required would be astronomical.
Lin Wanyou had originally thought that Sky Origin would only need Tier 1 and Tier 2 materials to forge the city.
But even so, the amount that Yuan Zong needed was worth several hundred million taels of silver.
However, after hearing Xu Yuanming's words, Lin Wanyou felt that his breathing was not smooth.
Big order!
Super big order!
The materials used to construct the five cities were all at least Tier 5.
Lin Wanyou secretly estimated that the amount of silver that Yuan Zong needed was at least ten billion taels.
When he thought of this …
Lin Wanyou's breathing became sluggish again. Even his heartbeat slowed by half a beat.
"Elder Xu, are you serious?"
"Of course."
"Good!"
Lin Wanyou's fingers trembled slightly. This was a 10 billion order.
Although he was the chief steward of Spirit Realm, the annual turnover of the entire Liang Mountain Spirit Realm was at most a few hundred million silver taels.
Now, he was suddenly asking for 10 billion silver taels.
Lin Wanyou realized that he could save twenty years of hard work.
As the chief steward of Spirit Realm, he could take a cut of every transaction in the Cheng Yun Trading Company.
Even if this cut was not much, it was enough to make one's limbs go weak.
Lin Wanyou took a few deep breaths and said, "Your honorable sect wants too many materials, but I can promise you that within seven days, no, within five days, I will be able to gather them all. However, Elder Xu will need to pay a 20% deposit first.
This is not something I can decide. This is the rule of the Cheng Yun Trading Company. After all, this transaction is too big. "
Xu Yuanming said, "No problem. How much silver taels do you need?"
"Wait a moment. I will get someone to calculate it."
Lin Wanyou said. Then, he called someone over and whispered a few words in his ear. That person was also shocked, but he quickly bowed and retreated.
Not long after.
That person returned and whispered something in Lin Wanyou's ear before leaving again.
Lin Wanyou said, "The materials that Sky Origin Sect needs this time are worth about 12 billion silver taels. However, the exact amount depends on the actual cost of building the city.
Considering the relationship between Sky Origin Sect and Cheng Yun Trading Company, Elder Xu only needs to pay 2.4 billion silver taels first. "
2.4 billion silver taels.
Xu Yuanming's heart skipped a beat.
Although he was in charge of the Sundry Hall, he could not remain calm in the face of so much silver taels.
However, fortunately.
Although Xu Yuanming was shocked, he maintained a calm expression and smiled, "I did not bring too much silver taels this time. How about this, I will return to Sky Origin Sect first.
Tomorrow, I will send the money that Steward Lin needs. "
"No problem."
Lin Wanyou nodded.
He did not doubt the authenticity of Xu Yuanming's words.
After all, Xu Yuanming was an inner sect elder of Sky Origin Sect.
Sky Origin Sect was one of the top sects in Beiyun Mansion.
If it was any other small sect, Lin Wanyou would not have believed them so easily and would not have simply asked for a 20% deposit.
After all, it was impossible to believe that a small sect could take out 10 billion silver taels.
Subsequently.
Xu Yuanming stood up and bid farewell.
On the other side, Lin Wanyou immediately began to gather the materials that Sky Origin Sect needed.
It was not an easy task to gather the materials needed to build five cities. Even with the Cheng Yun Trading Company's large business, they still needed a certain amount of time to gather the materials.
The next day.
Xu Yuanming personally delivered the silver taels.
In the next few days, the Liang Mountain Spirit Domain's Cheng Yun Trading Company abandoned all other businesses and focused all their efforts on gathering the materials that Sky Origin Sect needed.
In these few days, the smile on Lin Wanyou's face did not diminish at all. Everyone that he met was smiling happily. Those who did not know would think that he had made a fortune.
However, to Lin Wanyou, he had really made a fortune this time.
10 billion silver taels. Even if it was only 1% or 2%, it would still be a few hundred million silver taels.
"I am now in the first level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. If I can get this amount of silver taels and exchange them for resources, I can at least break through to the Airborne Realm."
Lin Wanyou was already thinking about what he should do after he got the money.
The most important thing for a cultivator was strength.
After becoming the Chief Manager, Lin Wanyou had also received a lot of resources from the trading company. That was why he could easily step into the Spiritual Martial Realm. However, if he wanted to go further, he would need to work hard.
Now, with this deal.
Lin Wanyou felt that he should be able to break through to the Airborne Realm.
In addition, the trading company would definitely reward him for completing such a large order. With the combination of the two, Lin Wanyou was confident that he could step into the seventh level of the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Once he reached the Spiritual Martial Realm.
He would have a certain amount of authority in the entire Cheng Yun Trading Company and could be considered to be in the upper echelons.
To this.
Lin Wanyou had always been thinking about it.
Now that he finally had the chance, he would definitely not let it go.
"12 billion!"
Qin Shujian had already expected Lin Wanyou's price.
The last time he built Liangshan City, Yuanzong was still very poor. Therefore, the materials used to build the city were very ordinary. Even with his skills as a Grandmaster Blacksmith, he could only forge Liangshan City into a low-grade Spiritual Artifact.
However, it was different this time.
Yuanzong had destroyed a top sect. Qin Shujian was also pulling wool from everywhere. With the Yuan Cabinet as a money-making machine, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Yuanzong was filthy rich now.
"If I'm going to do it, I'll do it to the best of my ability!"
This was Qin Shujian's current thought.
He had already planned to refine all of the cities in the various branches into high grade spiritual artifacts.
If not for the lack of Innate Embryos, Qin Shujian would have been able to forge all the cities into Dao Artifacts.
As for injecting luck, he had never thought of taking such a shortcut.
More than 10 billion taels of silver was already enough to empty out a top sect. However, it was still within the range that Yuanzong could afford.
At most.
In the future, he would be a little more frugal.
Moreover, he now had the support of Tiangang Sect and Giant Spirit Sect, so it was not a big problem.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian got up and left the courtyard, arriving at the sect's treasury.
After showing his identity token, the door of the treasury opened.
Qin Shujian stepped inside and saw a vast space.
A mustard seed containing a Mount Sumeru.
This was a method that he imitated the Heavenly Corpse Sect's library and simply made one in the treasury.
The treasury was divided into a total of three spaces.
One space was for Spiritual Herbs, one for various materials, and one for gold, silver, and jewelry.
Yes.
Qin Shujian put all the gold, silver, and jewelry into the treasury.
This was because the amount was not small. If he did not put it in the treasury and lost it one day, he felt that he would cry.
First, he went to the silver taels treasury. The silver taels that had been piled up in half of the space were now only one-tenth of it.
Seeing this, Qin Shujian felt pain in his heart. However, he quickly comforted himself. "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. It's just some silver taels. As a Heavenly Human and the Sect Master of a top sect, I must have the spirit of an expert."
He comforted himself a few times in his heart.
Qin Shujian reluctantly took a breath and decided not to look at the silver taels treasury. Instead, he stepped into the material treasury.
Similar to the silver taels treasury, the material treasury was also very rare.
This was because the materials that could be sent into the treasury were all high level materials or precious treasures.
Looking at the materials that were at least eighth or ninth level, Qin Shujian fell into deep thought.
If he wanted to reforge Cold Mountain City, he had to at least improve the foundation of Cold Mountain City. If a lower level Spiritual Artifact was merged with an Innate Embryo, then even if it was a refined Dao Artifact, it would not be a powerful one.
Since he was going to do it, then he had to do it well.
However —
Qin Shujian looked at the materials in front of him and sighed. "Although there are many materials now, it is still not enough to merge into Cold Mountain City."
"No, it is not really not enough."
Soon, Qin Shujian overturned his own opinion.
How many materials were needed to reforge a city?
Indeed, a normal city would require a lot of materials. However, if it was to refine a Dao Artifact, then it might not be necessary.
Qin Shujian realized that he had fallen into a wrong line of thought.
Now that his thoughts were clear, the bitter expression on his face disappeared.
—
Year 6,787 of the Qian Dynasty, the first day of the tenth month!
The Yuan Sect opened its gates and recruited disciples from all over the world.
On this day, the teleportation gate of Cold Mountain City did not stop. People walked out from it one after another and headed towards Cold Mountain.
Apart from that.
There were also experts who flew through the air and brought their juniors to Cold Mountain City.
On this day.
Many elders of the Yuan Sect came out to deal with the matter of recruiting disciples.
Niu Feng looked at the experts gathered in front of him. There were hundreds of Divine Martial Realm experts. When their auras gathered together, even if they did not deliberately release it, it was still enough to make one's heart tremble.
Therefore, he felt a great deal of pressure.
To put it bluntly.
Niu Feng was only a great cultivator at the peak of the Vision Divine Stage. Moreover, he was very weak.
Facing so many Divine Martial Realm experts, it would be a lie to say that he did not feel pressure.
However.
Looking at the crowd in front of him, Niu Feng put his hands behind his back and secretly crushed a jade talisman.
Immediately after.
A vast aura exploded from his body and instantly swept across the entire place. It pressured the great cultivators of the Divine Martial Realm to the point that their expressions changed.
Celestial Pressure!
This was the method that Qin Shujian gave Niu Feng.
After using it, one would gain the Celestial Pressure. Of course, other than pressure, this had no other use.
Therefore, this jade talisman only had one use. Short name: Pretentious!
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Niu Feng nodded in satisfaction and said loudly, "Today, the Yuan Sect is opening its gates and recruiting disciples from all over the world. I am very gratified that all of you are able to come.
However, the sect has its own rules. The people recruited this time cannot be older than 16 years old and must have a suitable foundation to join the sect. "
"If you are an otherworldly person, you must be at least at the seventh level of the True Martial Realm and complete the corresponding test before you can join the sect."
"If you do not meet these two conditions, you can go back now."
After that.
There was no change in the scene.
The conditions for the Yuan Sect to recruit disciples had been spread out. Those who came now basically thought that they met the conditions.
Niu Feng did not say more about this.
It didn't matter if these people really met the requirements or if they just wanted to fish in troubled waters.
Because there were still tests later.
Even if they wanted to fish in troubled waters, they would be screened out.
If they really broke through layers of tests and successfully mixed in, it would be because they were capable.
Qin Shujian didn't refuse any of these capable people, even if they were slightly less talented or older.
People with brains.
It did not matter if they were not talented. A Marrow Cleansing Elixir could make them become cultivation geniuses.
What they were afraid of was that it did not matter if they were not talented or not smart.
Such a person was truly terrifying.
If they were in danger, it did not matter if they died. They could drag their teammates down with them.
Hearing Niu Feng's words.
The group of cultivators who came with their juniors did not say much. They just let their juniors participate in the test.
The whole process.
There was no disturbance at all. No one wanted to make trouble.
Seeing this, Niu Feng also felt a little bored.
In this regard.
Some people were also speechless in their hearts.
Although the expression on Niu Feng's face was not very obvious, some sharp-eyed people could see it.
They looked at the black-robed man standing next to Niu Feng. Those great cultivators of the God Martial Arts Realm were all terrified.
Heavenly Corpse Jiang Feng!
A divine-level slaughtering beast was standing there.
At this time, no one dared to be presumptuous.
Whoever dared to be presumptuous and provoke Jiang Feng to attack would be dead.
Not only that, they would also offend the Yuan Sect. Maybe the forces behind them would also suffer.
So.
From the beginning to the end, no one thought of making trouble.
Even if they wanted to die, they had to consider whether they would implicate their own people.
Just as the Yuan Sect opened the mountain gate, Qin Shujian had quietly left the Yuan Sect and came to the Heavenly Lineage's station in the Cangxi region.
"Sect Master!"
Seeing Qin Shujian's arrival, Zeng Hong greeted him respectfully.
After witnessing Qin Shujian's inhuman strength, the reverence in the Heaven Branch Master's heart grew stronger by the day.
It didn't matter that the other party was a Heavenly Being.
Before seeing the means of a Heavenly Being, even if there was awe in his heart, it would not be too strong.
But after seeing the scene of Qin Shujian lifting mountains, no one dared to look down on him.
That scene.
It was really too shocking.
At this time.
Qin Shujian did not look at Zeng Hong, but his eyes fell on the city that was being built. "How's the progress of the city?"
"It will be completed in a day or two."
Zeng Hong said.
What he said was not really completed. He could only build the outline of a city.
Qin Shujian said, "Hurry up. It's best to finish this before tomorrow. The main sect has now begun to recruit disciples. Soon, there will be disciples assigned to the Heavenly Lineage.
If there are too many disciples and there is no place to settle down, it will be a joke. "
Zeng Hong said, "Don't worry, Sect Master. When the Golden Crow rises tomorrow, the city will be built."
"Well, go ahead."
Qin Shujian waved his hand, indicating that Zeng Hong did not need to follow him.
Zeng Hong did not leave immediately, but asked, "Sect Master, why don't you come with me to the Heavenly Lineage to rest first? When the city is built tomorrow, we can come back to check it out."
"No need. I'll stay here."
Qin Shujian shook his head and refused.
Hearing this.
Zeng Hong could not force anything.
With Qin Shujian's personal supervision and a strict order, Zeng Hong immediately transferred all the manpower to complete the outline of the city as quickly as possible.
The fifth-level cultivator material used to build the city was called Gold Rock.
To cut it into a suitable shape, it required a strong cultivator in the Spiritual Martial Realm with a powerful spiritual weapon.
Fortunately.
Yuan Sect now lacked great cultivators in the Divine Martial Realm, but they did not lack cultivators in the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Qin Shujian gave them one day.
However, under the premise that Zeng Hong personally went to work, the outline of the city was built in the middle of the night.
The city built by the Heavenly Lineage was not big, about the same size as Cold Mountain City, covering an area of about fifty miles.
However, the purpose of this city was mainly to settle the disciples, so it did not need to be too big.
After the construction was completed.
Zeng Hong walked in front of Qin Shujian and said, "Sect Master, the city has been built."
"Ask everyone to evacuate. Don't come within a hundred feet of the city."
"Yes!"
Zeng Hong nodded and then turned to give the order.
Soon.
All of the craftsmen's disciples left the city in an orderly manner. The city, which had been quite lively, immediately turned into a desolate city of death.
Coupled with the dim night, it was a bit eerie.
After everyone had evacuated, Qin Shujian's body suddenly grew to a size of thirty thousand feet. Then, with his Divine Thought, thousands of array patterns appeared from the void and attached to the city.
Buzz!
The entire city was shaking.
Then.
Qin Shujian stomped his foot forward and the earth shook violently. The city, which originally covered an area of fifty miles, directly broke away from the ground and flew into the air.
At this moment, the people who had already retreated were shaken to the point that they lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Fortunately.
Qin Shujian deliberately controlled his power and did not let the vibration spread too much. Otherwise, the power of the stomp alone would have killed a large number of Basic Realm cultivators.
Under everyone's horrified gaze.
They saw the city flying into the air. The city, which should have collapsed, was firmly formed as a whole under the protection of the array patterns.
Immediately.
Qin Shujian activated his True Essence and the void immediately turned into a vast sea of fire, enveloping the entire city.
The sea of fire burned.
The city shook crazily. A portion of the runes that were attached to every inch of the city crumbled under the burning of the flames, while a portion of them slowly merged into the city.
An hour passed.
The entire city was burning red.
Qin Shujian had been controlling the temperature, allowing the pure gold rock to reach a critical point between melting and not melting.
In the next moment.
His boundless Divine Sense transformed into a gigantic hammer and smashed down on the city.
Boom!!
As the hammer fell, heaven and earth shook.
A myriad of daoist runes erupted as the hammer fell, and the trembling of the entire city came to an abrupt halt.
As for the others.
When they heard the sound of the hammer, they felt a force cleansing their body and mind. Some of them even looked inexplicable, as if they had comprehended something.
Ceng Hong shouted, "Everyone, guard your mind. This is a rare opportunity. How much you can comprehend depends on you."
Without Ceng Hong saying anything.
The knowledgeable disciples all calmed their minds and silently digested everything that Qin Shujian had given them.
At this moment.
Another hammer fell.
The dark clouds in the sky retreated, as if there was light dispersing the darkness.
Boom!!
