Chapter 165: Building a City (1)

She looked at Chen Daochu’s resentful eyes.
Chen Daoxuan smiled and said,” Don’t look at me like that. I still have to set up the Spirit Accumulation Array for my family and Redwood Island, especially Redwood Island. Next, our family will build an immortal city there.””
“Build an immortal city?”
Chen Daochu and Chen Daolan were both attracted by his words.
“Is it an immortal city like Guang ‘an City?”
The eyes of the two of them lit up as they spoke.
“Of course, it can’t compare to Guang ‘an City now, but in the future…It’s hard to say.”
Chen Daoxuan said meaningfully.
The establishment of the western defense zone meant that the area west of Guang ‘an Prefecture would become the Chen family’s territory in the future.
One had to know that the Chen family wasn’t the only family that thrived in this area.
In reality.
Even though the western region of Guang ‘an Prefecture was vast and sparsely populated, there were still tens of millions of people.
With such a large population, there were at least hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
This didn’t include people from other regions who would rush here in the future.
The reason was simple.
Although the Western Defense Zone was the weakest, it was also the rear of Guang ‘an Prefecture. The Eastern Defense Zone, Northern District, and Lingbei Island were at the front line.
For those unaffiliated cultivators who were unwilling to go to the front line or did not dare to go to the front line, the southern and western defense zones were their best choices.
Especially the West Defense District, where the
This was because the Zhou family was also the commander of the southern region.
In the future, if the war on the Spiritual Shell Island deteriorated, they would definitely have to support the Spiritual Shell Island and get involved in the war.
Only the western sector seemed to be the safest.
Other than guarding against the zombies from the bottom of the Infinite Star Sea, there was almost no danger.
As long as a loose cultivator had a clear head, it would not be difficult to analyze this situation.
When he heard that his family was going to build an immortal city on Redwood Island, he was shocked.
Chen Daochu and Chen Lian were excited.
His tired body was filled with energy again.
They felt an unparalleled sense of achievement and pride as they watched their family grow and develop step by step in their hands.
Even Chen Daoxuan had this feeling.
Indeed.
With Chen Daoxuan’s talent, perhaps he could abandon his family and go to the frontlines of the Yun Nation as a rogue cultivator. That way, his journey would be smoother and easier.
But at the same time, he would never be able to gain such pride and satisfaction.
What was the purpose of cultivation?
Just for longevity?
If it was just for immortality, wouldn’t it be a kind of immortality to become a zombie like the Sun brothers?
Obviously not!
In Chen Daoxuan’s view, the ultimate goal of cultivation was to allow oneself to live freely.
In the human world, it was too difficult to be carefree!
It was even more difficult than immortality and becoming an immortal.
“By the way, how’s the polishing of your true qi going?”
Chen Xuan suddenly asked as if he had thought of something.
Hearing this question.
Chen Daochu said confidently,””In a year at most, my zhenqi will be completely polished!”
“So fast?”
Chen Daoxuan raised his eyebrows. This speed of refining his zhenqi was not slower than his, but even faster.
Of course.
The polishing of Genuine Qi had nothing to do with one’s spirit root. It was completely dependent on one’s physique.
Obviously, Chen Daochu’s physique made it easier for him to perfect his Genuine Qi.
When Chen Daolin saw Chen Daochu’s smug expression, her pretty face puffed up in anger.””Young Clan Leader, I’ve only polished one-third of my True Qi.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan nodded:” This speed is not slow. At most, in two years, you will be able to build your foundation.””
Hearing the progress of their cultivation.
Chen Daoxuan sighed.
Chen Daochu and Chen Daolan were the same age, but they were not even 15 years old this year.
Chen Daochu was only 16 years old when he built his foundation next year, while Chen Daolan was slightly older, about 17 years old.
In other words.
These two people had both broken Zhou Mubai’s foundation establishment record.
Of course.
From Chen Daoxuan’s perspective.
Even though the two of them had broken Zhou Mubai’s Foundation Establishment record, their true talent was still far from Zhou Mubai’s.
The reason why Chen Daochu and Chen Daolan’s cultivation speed was even faster than a heaven spirit root cultivator was because the Chen family had invested all kinds of unlimited cultivation resources.
Such an investment was completely irrational in the eyes of the major cultivation forces.
However, the Chen family did not care.
Chen Daolin and Chen Daochu were one of the few cultivators with superior spiritual roots in the Dao generation.
In the short term, Chen Daoxuan was still counting on the two of them to share the heavy responsibility for him.
With their Qi Condensation cultivation, they definitely couldn’t share his burden, but after Foundation Establishment, they could do many things.
At the very least, it would be more ostentatious for him to represent the Chen family in the future when he went out to interact with other families.
It couldn’t be that the Chen family really relied on Chen Daoxuan alone to support their appearance. This kind of” big family” couldn’t help but make people laugh.
He encouraged Chen Daochu and Chen Daolan.
Chen Daoxuan left the industrial area of the island.
He began to set up the second tier Spirit Gathering Array of Twin Lake Island.
From the name of this array formation, it could be seen that this was a type of Tier 2 array formation. In the entire Chen Family, other than Chen Daoxuan, no one could set it up.
Compared to a Tier 1 Profound Spirit Array, the formation of a Tier 2 Profound Spirit Array was much more complicated.
Even with Chen Daoxuan’s attainments in array formations, it took him ten days to finish setting up the array formation.
Chen Daoxuan, who had cultivated a first-grade spirit meridian before, knew this very well.
In the following days.
He watched as the power of creation in the spirit stones slowly transformed the spirit meridians and upgraded the Chen family’s grade-1 spirit meridians to grade-2.
This time was about half a year.
At that time.
The Chen Clan would have a Grade 2 Spirit Vein, which could be used by the clan members to build their Foundation. It could also provide enough Spirit Qi for the increasing number of cultivators of the Fu generation to cultivate.
After setting up the spirit vein of Shuanghu Island, Chen Daoxuan began to set up the spirit vein of Hongshan Island.
It had dragged on for so many days.
Seeing that the commander had finally begun to nurture the grade 3 spirit vein for them, they were shocked.
Everyone’s emotions were high.
Redwood Island was a deserted island, which meant that it was difficult for everyone to cultivate for such a long time. At most, they could refine the spiritual energy in the air and recover their true essence.
In normal times.
In such a harsh environment, the cultivators had long exploded.
However, the cultivators knew that Guang ‘an Prefecture was in turmoil, and the front line was facing the threat of the zombie tide on Lotus Island.
It was already good enough for them to have a safe place to stay.
Otherwise…
They could return to their respective clans, but after seeing the Zhao Clan’s fate, who would dare to stay on their original island alone?
“Commander!”
He saw Chen Daoxuan’s flying light.
A middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was the commander of the army, stopped cutting trees with his flying sword and cupped his hands at Chen Daoxuan.
Yes,”
Chen Daoxuan looked around at the busy construction site and said,” Where’s Old Chen?”
“General Chen will sit in front.”
Chen Daoxuan followed the direction of the man’s finger and saw Chen Beiwang hunched over in front of a huge blueprint, talking to the cultivators.
Although the cultivators were not as proficient in architecture as Chen Wang, who had built houses all his life, they were not completely ignorant of architecture because they usually built their own Immortal’s Cave.
With Chen Beiwang’s guidance, the cultivators quickly understood what he meant.
Lei Zhen cupped his hands and said,” We understand Elder Chen’s meaning. You can rest assured. However, aren’t we building a little too many houses?”
I’m afraid there aren’t enough cultivators to cut down trees and move cut stones.”
Obviously, Chen Beiwang did not understand the construction speed of the cultivators, so he still distributed the manpower according to the proportion of ordinary people.
When he heard Lei Zhen’s words, he could not help but be stunned.
“Then according to Immortal Master’s opinion, how should we distribute the manpower?”
Chen Beiwang said respectfully.
“I think that 70% of the workers will be used to deal with the construction materials, and 30% will be used to build the houses and pave the roads.”
“Alright, we’ll do as Lord Immortal Master says!”
Chen Beiwang nodded.
“Old Chen!”
As they were talking, Chen Daoxuan walked over from behind Chen Bei.
“Commander!”
“Commander!”
Seeing Chen Daoxuan, everyone cupped their hands and greeted him.
Chen Daoxuan replied to each of them, then looked at Chen Beiwang and asked in surprise,””The city design is out so quickly?”
Hearing this.
Chen Beiwang stroked his beard proudly and said,””All these years, this old man has been paving bridges and roads for my Chen family, building houses, and expanding Changping County. It can’t be that the people under me haven’t made any progress at all!”
Hearing this explanation.
Chen Daoxuan nodded.
Indeed, it was not only the cultivators of the Chen family who had improved. The improvement of mortals was actually greater than the improvement of cultivators.
However, Chen Daoxuan’s attention had been on the cultivators and he had neglected the progress of the ordinary members of the Chen family.
He took a few steps forward.
Chen Daoxuan picked up the extremely complicated city plans on the table and looked at them carefully. He raised his head and said,””Old Chen, didn’t you leave some space in the inner city?”
“Inner city?”
Chen Beiwang looked at Chen Daoxuan in confusion, not knowing what he meant by the inner city.
However, the expressions of all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present changed.
How could they not understand the meaning of the inner city?
The so-called inner city was an immortal city built within a mortal city.
For example, Guang ‘an Prefecture Immortal City, Ling Zhou Immortal City, and so on.
Obviously, Chen Daoxuan also wanted to build an immortal city on Redwood Island.
Moreover…
It seemed that the spirit stones in the western defense area were indeed enough to build such an immortal city.
However…
“Lord Commander,”
Lei Zhen thought about it and said carefully,” A part of our military expenditure is the pay of the soldiers!”
“I know!”
Chen Daoxuan glanced at him and smiled.” Don’t worry, I will pay the soldiers.””
Whether it was at the Yun Nation’s frontline or the Guang ‘an Prefecture’s coalition army.
When cultivators joined the army, they would receive a salary.
However, on the frontlines of the Yun Nation, military pay was distributed in the form of military achievements.
In the Guang ‘an Prefecture Alliance Army, they were distributed in the form of spirit stones.
Even though the pay wasn’t high, there were a total of 100,000 soldiers in the western defense zone. Altogether, it was a terrifying number.
As for embezzling military pay, Chen Daoxuan could not do it.
In his opinion, even if the military pay was distributed to the wandering cultivator soldiers, they would still have to spend it sooner or later.
He would return to the hands of the Chen family.. Why did he have to be so ugly and give others a handle?
