Chapter 670 Undercurrent

After getting the Qingmu Sha, Chen Mobai stayed in Xiao Kingdom for a while.

Under his order, the first batch of two hundred Qi-training monks from Iwakuni, led by Yuan Chiye, quickly came to support.

These are all experts trained to dig rivers after several years of training. However, these are all casual cultivators who have been hired by Beiyuan City for a long time in the name of Shenmu Sect.

According to Chen Mobai's instructions, since the two big rivers are a major project that will take at least 20 to 30 years, these casual cultivators must at least sign a long-term contract with the Shenmu Sect for more than ten years.

At the beginning, this long contract was naturally not recognized by casual cultivators.

After all, here in the East Wasteland, casual cultivators advocate freedom. It is normal to stay at home and practice after completing this task. After the spiritual rice and spiritual stones in hand are used up, they will go out to find work again. This is the norm.

But the conditions offered by Shenmu Sect are really great!

Especially after Zhuo Ming led his people to open up tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields in Yan Country and achieved the freedom of spiritual rice, all the casual cultivators began to rush to sign this long contract.

Some people even want to continue working for Shenmu Sect for decades or even hundreds of years.

After all, they were given spiritual stones as wages and spiritual rice as benefits. This was a rare high treatment in the entire Eastern Wasteland.

If it weren't for the fact that the Shenmu Sect was the largest sect in the Eastern Wasteland and had a decent reputation, the casual cultivators would even suspect it was a demonic fraud.

After some poor casual cultivators who really couldn't afford spiritual rice confirmed that it was true, the casual cultivators in Beiyuan City began to go crazy.

Even after the news spread, immortal cultivators from the entire Eastern Wasteland began to swarm towards Iwa Country.

In the past, if casual cultivators wanted to earn spiritual stones, in addition to selling themselves to the major forces in the city, they would also go to Yunmengze and fight for their lives.

But working as a coolie in Beiyuan City is not life-threatening!

Although it is a bit hard and tiring, and they have to accept the command of the monks of the Shenmu Sect and start and finish work on time, the long-term contract at least guarantees that they will be able to save at least one when they are dismissed in ten or twenty years. A large sum of spiritual stones.

Maybe you can earn back all the expenses you spent before practicing to foundation building.

The casual cultivators in Donghuang had some brains. After a little comparison, they began to flock to Beiyuan City, a place that was almost a fairyland.

There are also many clever sect cultivating families who have discovered business opportunities and no longer sell magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans. Instead, they lead their own disciples and clansmen to negotiate with Beiyuan City to contract the excavation work of a certain section of the river. .

E Yun naturally agreed with this.

At first, Zhuo Ming was a little worried that this would affect the quality of the project, but this method could undoubtedly save a lot of manpower on the Shenmu Sect. After all, the casual cultivators hired according to conventional methods needed to be commanded by capable personnel dispatched by the Shenmu Sect. Training.

When contracting to other forces, they only need to complete the explanation at the beginning, give the required goals, and then come over at regular intervals to inspect the progress.

If it is completed well and the quality passes the inspection, then Eyun from Beiyuan City will pay this part of the spiritual stones and rice as progress payment.

If Zhuo Ming is not satisfied, let them redo it until they are satisfied.

If you are not satisfied, you will not be given the spirit stones. If any major sects and cultivating families want to contract, they must abide by this principle.

This means that the Shenmu Sect is already the dominant one in Donghuang, and the contracting force actively wants to do this business. Therefore, it is so harsh that the Shenmu Sect has no risk in contract, and they are also being rushed to sign it.

The second group of people led by Qi Rui to support them were these contractors from Rock Country.

There are more than a dozen immortal cultivating families, large and small, and second- and third-rate sects, with a total of five hundred Qi-cultivating monks.

Qi Rui and Luo Xueer discussed it and handed over some sections of the Mohe River, which were relatively simple and required less digging and breaking of ground, to these contractors from Rock Country to give them a try first.

Zhou Wangshen, who participated in the whole process, signed separate contracts with these thirteen contractors as the guardian of Xiao Kingdom, and each agreed on various requirements for the acceptance of each section of the river.

"Why don't the Immortal Cultivation families and sect forces here in Xiao Kingdom have such business acumen?"

After talking about this matter, Zhou Wangshen couldn't help but shook his head and said.

"This is also due to Junior Sister Zhuo's good reputation for providing spiritual rice to casual cultivators in the first place."

"The first person who discovered this business opportunity was Hua Zhong, the patriarch of the Hua family. He was a far-sighted man. After confirming that our sect really wanted to carry out a major project in the Eastern Barren Plateau for decades, he also sent many disciples The tribesmen personally participated in the excavation of rivers, planting of spiritual fields, planting trees to stabilize the soil, and investigated all technical difficulties. "

"After two years of practicing and participating in various processes of opening up the Eastern Barren Plateau, and after confirming that he could complete it and that it was profitable, the Chinese patriarch began to discuss with Brother E and wanted to contract the construction of a section of the river."

"After the example of the Hua family, other forces in the Rock Kingdom began to rush in. Until now, the immortal cultivators in the entire Rock Kingdom have basically participated in the Baijiang project."

Qi Rui said the key to this, and Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xueer were filled with emotion after hearing this.

"There will be six contractors who are responsible for planting spiritual fields and sowing spiritual rice. They will be led by Senior Nephew Han. When the time comes, Senior Brother Zhou, please ask the Xiao Kingdom's manpower to cooperate."

Qi Rui also talked about the third batch of people who came to support from Yan Kingdom. The spiritual field resources of Xiao Kingdom are more outstanding than those of Yan Kingdom. After all, Yunmengze is next to it. Even if the Mohe River has not been opened yet, there is precipitation all year round. The quantity is also good.

However, most of the spiritual fields, the land on the shore of Yunmengze, were basically occupied by the local immortal cultivating families. The God of Zhou followed Chen Mobai's order and did not seize these. Instead, he led his sect disciples to reopen them.

But the Lingzhifu here in Xiaoguo is definitely not as good as those from Xiaonanshan.

In addition, most of the manpower was sent by Zhou Wangshen to dig rivers. As a result, the Xiaoguo side was far inferior to the Yanguo side in terms of opening up spiritual fields and planting spiritual rice.

"Who is this nephew Han?"

Zhou Wangshen asked Qi Rui that the previous two groups of men were led by foundation-building monks, so why was the third group suddenly composed of qi-training monks.

"Why, Senior Brother Zhou doesn't know... She is a disciple of Junior Sister Zhuo. In the future, as long as she builds the foundation, she will be the third generation disciple of the Xiaonanshan lineage."

When Qi Rui said this, Zhou Wangshen immediately understood.

He had heard of Han Zhiling's name.

"I asked Bingyan to greet her in person."

Zhou Wangshen did not look down upon Han Zhiling just because he was just practicing Qi. After all, if he could become a disciple of Xiao Nanshan, it must have been with the permission of the master.

And the most important thing is that Chen Mobai is still in Xiao Kingdom.

After the third batch of monks led by Han Zhiling arrived, the Qi training monks in Xiaoguo Yanguo were finally balanced.

However, because those foundation-building monks came to help Zhuo Ming on their own initiative, it was not easy for Chen Mobai to direct them.

We can only ask Lingbao Pavilion to facilitate Zhou Wangshen and set up more tasks for Xiao Kingdom. When the foundation-building monks come, whether they can retain them depends on Zhou Wangshen's methods.

When Han Zhiling arrived, Chen Mobai happened to have trained all the Qingmu Sha into Qingyan Sword Sha.

As his chosen third-generation disciple, Chen Mobai naturally wanted to meet her.

Not long after Han Zhiling came to Xiaonan Mountain, he followed Zhuo Ming to Yan Country.

Her talent is naturally unparalleled, and with hard work, she is now a second-level spirit planter, and is even more specialized in fire spirit rice.

This is why Zhuo Ming asked her to lead the team here.

When Chen Mobai met Han Zhiling, he did not examine this aspect, but asked her if she had any questions about her practice. After all, he was no longer as good as Zhuo Ming in terms of spiritual cultivation, so he should choose what he was good at.

Han Zhiling was already at the ninth level of qi training, but felt that his skills were not deep enough and wanted to wait for another two years before starting to try to build the foundation.

This time Chen Mobai asked in person, so naturally he asked all the questions he had accumulated in his daily life.

Chen Mobai, who had a reputation as a great virtuous teacher in the Eastern Wasteland, could naturally guide a Qi-training monk with ease.

After some answers, Han Zhiling no longer had any doubts about using the Molten Fire Technique to build the foundation, and realized that as long as he had perfected his Qi practice, he could take the Foundation Building Pill.

However, after building the foundation, the Molten Fire Technique has reached its peak. Next, Han Zhiling will either practice the Earth Core True Fire Technique of Huitian Valley, or switch to other fire-attribute techniques.

Chen Mobai also asked her what she thought about this.

Han Zhiling hesitated for a moment and expressed his respect for the master's swordsmanship and looked up to the Red Flame Sword Technique.

"It's not impossible, but now you still focus on foundation building. I will help you solve the follow-up exercises."

If Chen Mobai was willing, it would not be difficult to create a transformation and continuation formula between the Molten Fire Technique and the Red Flame Sword Technique. After all, he had the Phaseless Doll in hand.

Therefore, he did not ask Han Zhiling to switch to the technique now. After all, she had practiced the Molten Fire Technique for most of her life, and it had already penetrated into her bones. If she switched it at the ninth level of Qi training, it would definitely affect her foundation building.

It would be better to wait until the foundation is established before considering changing the technique.

With his words, Han Zhiling was completely relieved.

After communicating with his disciple, Chen Mobai left Xiao Kingdom.

He did not go to the Hong Kingdom again, but planned to go back first to practice the Extreme Yang Slash.

What Chen Mobai didn't know was that his whereabouts had always been followed.

After hearing that he had left the Eastern Barren Plateau, Fang Xuan of the Southern Xuan Sect put down the letter just sent from Dongyi with a solemn expression.

Above are the latest instructions for him from Xuanhuo Dao Palace.

The negotiation between Jinfeng Patriarch and Kuzhu broke down, and both sides were already preparing to mobilize all their manpower for a big fight.

As a pill-forming monk, Fang Xuanyang would naturally be transferred back.

But before going back, Ancestor Jinfeng also had an instruction for the East Wasteland.

That is to use this place as a retreat for Xuanhuo Dao Palace.

If the war with Kongsang Valley fails, the rest of them can retreat here and hibernate, preparing for a comeback.

The biggest problem in turning the Eastern Wasteland into Xuanhuo Taoist Palace is the Shenmu Sect.

After all, originally according to the strategy of Xuanhuo Dao Palace, after the destruction of Shanshan Mountain, they personally ended up and gradually encroached on Yanguo, Xiaoguo and others, occupying the Eastern Wasteland Plateau connected to the Ruins Land, and built a sect annex.

It was a pity that Shenmu Sect's ability to resist was beyond the expectations of Xuanhuo Dao Palace. Nan Xuanjing and Zhao Xuankang died one after another. Xuan Shu, who had high hopes, also came back with serious injuries.

When Fang Xuanyang was sent here, he was also frightened, fearing that Chen Mobai and the other four major pill formations would directly come to kill him.

Fortunately, the name of Jinfeng Patriarch of Xuanhuo Dao Palace can still be suppressed.

But from here, Fang Xuanyang also guessed one thing, that is, Zhou Shengqing definitely did not succeed in conceiving a baby.

A large sect with Yuanying in charge will never allow any other Yuanying forces to open branch sects in their own territory.

Since he had guessed this, Fang Xuanyang naturally wanted to find a way to verify it.

So he founded the Restoration Society, summoned all the monks from Dongyi who were destroyed by the Shenmu Sect, and used their connections in the East Wilderness to start collecting intelligence.

Among them, when he extended the Restoration Society to Hongguo, he encountered another secret organization. He personally tried to test it, but was afraid to return.

However, this organization also had a deep hatred for the Shenmu Sect, and it even buried a lot of hidden players with high status in the major sects in the East Wilderness.

Fang Xuanyang immediately cooperated with this organization and indeed got more detailed and specific information about the Shenmu Sect.

It was a pity that this organization acted carelessly and was found by the killing god of the Shenmu Sect. He took up his sword and killed him on Liujia Mountain. Another major sect in the East Wilderness was destroyed.

In this regard, Fang Xuanyang was happy and worried. The good thing was that after the destruction of Liujia Mountain, the group of foundation-building monks headed by Yu Changjian were not killed. He found them and hid them and took them under his command.

What worried him was the terrible strength displayed by Shenmu Sect in the process of breaking through Liujia Mountain, which made him dare not command the Restoration Society to make any move.

If possible, Fang Xuanyang hoped to live in peace like this.

But unfortunately, the order from Xuanxiao Dao Palace forced him to prepare to tear his face with Shenmu Sect.

Fortunately, as a Jindan cultivator, he also had some face, and his opinion was consulted in this letter.

Before the Xuanxiao Dao Palace planned to fight the decisive battle with Kongsang Valley, it would first clean up the East Wasteland, at least to eliminate the great enemy Shenmu Sect, so as to avoid being attacked by Shenmu Sect in the future when it failed and retreated to the East Wasteland.

And now the key to supporting Shenmu Sect is the young leader Chen Guixian.

As long as he is killed, the rest is not a concern.

For this, Fang Xuanyang mobilized all the hidden players of the Restoration Society and kept a close eye on Chen Mobai's whereabouts.

He thought he was not an opponent, so he had to wait for the more powerful Jindan cultivators from Xuanxiao Dao Palace to come.

It's a pity that he didn't make it this time.

Chen Mobai did not stay on the East Wasteland Plateau for long before returning.

Fang Xuanyang was also very calm about this. After all, his Restoration Society had a high-ranking undercover in Jumu Ridge who could always know when Chen Mobai would come to the East Wasteland Plateau next time.

When this Master Chen came next time, he would kill his beloved disciple and the one with the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Completely cut off the possibility of Shenmu Sect making a comeback!
