Chapter 427: Nine Earths Lihuo Formation, Spending Money Like Water

Bai Yu led 100,000 pioneering monks and finally arrived at the Poison Fire Island.

The first thing, of course, was to set up a protective formation and build a fairy city.

He called the formation master Mu Li Zi and pointed to the valley where the eye of the spirit vein was.

"Mr. Mu, I plan to build a fairy city with this as the center. There is a hidden second-level spirit vein underground."

Mu Li Zi looked around and nodded:

"This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are spirit veins. It is a good place to build a city."

"And there are many volcanoes on this island, which is another big advantage. Fellow Daoist Bai has a good eye."

"There are five volcanoes near this place. We can set up a simplified version of the Nine Lands Fire Formation, which can cover thousands of miles and defend against foreign attacks."

Bai Yu smiled slightly.

Volcanoes are a big hazard to others, but for the monks of Lei Yang Sect, they are a huge benefit.

Mu Lizi said with some regret:

"It's a pity, if there are a few more volcanoes, plus the advantage of heavenly thunder, we can set up the Nine Heavens and Nine Earths Thunder Fire Array, which is as solid as a rock."

Bai Yu said:

"Nothing is perfect in the world. I am already very satisfied with the advantage of earthly fire."

"Mr. Mu, if there are nine volcanoes, how long will it take to set up the complete Nine Earths Fire Array?"

Mu Li stroked his long beard and said:

"If there are enough manpower and suitable assistants to cooperate, it can be completed in one month."

It takes a month to set up the array alone, and it is unknown how long it will take to build the city.

This takes too much time. If there is any danger, there is no way to resist.

He said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Mu, the Immortal City formation is the top priority and must be completed within ten days!"

"These 100,000 pioneer monks will be given priority for your dispatch."

Mu Li Zi looked embarrassed:

"Ten days is too short. It will take several days just to design the eye of the formation according to the positions of the five volcanoes."

"The volcanoes cannot be moved, so we can only change the formation diagram. There are too many troubles in this."

Bai Yu made the decision:

"The formation diagram does not need to be changed."

Mu Li Zi almost laughed out of anger, thinking that Bai Yu was confused:

"How is this possible? Fellow Daoist Bai, although you are the city lord, you cannot be careless in building a city."

Bai Yu did not say much and flew directly to a small volcano.

He stepped on the ground and communicated with the surging earth energy.

The fifth-level minor magical power of driving the mountain was activated.

All of a sudden, the small volcano seemed to come alive and moved on the ground.

Mu Lizi was shocked, opened his mouth wide, eyes full of disbelief:

"This, this, this... Is this the earth spirit master's ability to move mountains? What is the relationship between Lord Bai and the three great families, Gongshu?"

His words were full of surprise, and he even changed his address to Bai Yu to the more respectful Lord Bai.

Not only him, but also the 100,000 pioneering monks nearby were stunned.

I have seen people who can split mountains and crack rocks, but today I have seen someone who can move mountains for the first time.

The ability of Lord Bai is far beyond everyone's imagination.

Many immortal slaves originally wanted to escape, but after seeing Bai Yu's ability to move mountains, their thoughts of escaping were extinguished.

Bai Yu was very satisfied with this.

Now is different from the past. He must show some strength to shock the restless immortal slaves and win the respect of all parties.

"Mr. Mu, how long will it take to build the Nine Earths Fire Array?"

Mu Li pondered for a moment:

"Twenty days is enough. If there is sufficient manpower, it can be shortened by a few days."

Bai Yu thought about it and told Lan Yu Niang to select from the 100,000 pioneers.

All the array masters were selected for Mu Li Zi, and other manpower was also given priority.

"Ten days, at most ten days, the Nine Earths Fire Array must be built."

"If the city is successfully built within ten days, all participants will be rewarded heavily, and Mr. Mu will be given an additional 200,000 spirit stones!"

Bai Yu felt a sense of urgency for some reason and gave a death order.

Under the heavy reward, the guarding array began to be built rapidly.

Bai Yu used the mountain-driving technique to drive four volcanoes within three days, adding the original nine volcanoes, all perfectly distributed according to the array diagram.

Mu Li Zi was amazed and said that this was the first time he had seen such a standard array eye.

He was not idle either, directing hundreds of apprentices to refine array flags and arrange array plates and array eyes.

On the nine volcanoes, mysterious runes were engraved one after another.

In other places, there was the earth spirit master Guo Yuan, who led a group of earth and wood spirit root monks to cast spells such as "gathering sand into walls" and "turning mud into stone" to quickly build altars and city walls.

Other monks also mined earth and stones from all around to pave roads and build cities.

But even so, the speed of building the city was still quite slow.

Seeing this, Bai Yu had to make another move, using the cultivation of the funeral master to change the ground veins and drive the mountains into walls.

His efficiency alone was comparable to that of thousands of pioneer monks.

This shocked the earth spirit master Guo Yuan beyond words.

Earth spirit masters are earth attribute monks who specialize in construction and exploration, and are generally good at earth attribute spells.

But Bai Yu's magical powers have exceeded Guo Yuan's cognition.

"Could it be that Lord Bai is actually a high-level earth spirit master?"

With such sleepless efforts, it took only eight days to build the complete version of the Nine Earths Fire Formation.

Nothing else, Bai Yu's mountain-driving technique is simply like a cow sitting on an electric wire - awesome and lightning-fast.

The outermost Nine Earths Fire Formation was built, and the fairy city inside began to take shape.

Mu Lizi exclaimed:

"City Master Bai, your magical power is really eye-opening to me. Even I can't believe that you can achieve a great formation so quickly."

"Now the defense of the fairy city is worry-free. Next, we only need to set up some small auxiliary formations along the city wall, and we will be able to sit back and relax."

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally we have a defensive base.

He did not break his promise and rewarded Mu Li and Guo Yuan with two hundred thousand spiritual stones each.

Others who participated in the construction were also rewarded.

The monks who participated in the construction of the city suddenly felt a sense of belonging.

That night, Lan Yuniang entered Bai Yu's bedroom:

"Mr. Lang, the reward alone cost more than two million spirit stones this time. Our spirit stone reserves are running low."

She took out an abacus, her fingers flying, and gave Bai Yu a serious report:

"Mu Li and the other six are guest ministers. Their annual salary ranges from 200,000 to 500,000. This is an expenditure of two million spiritual stones."

"Pioneering monks don't need a salary, but they also have daily expenses. Casting spells requires replenishment of elixirs and spiritual stones."

"There are also magic weapons, talismans and food. The Xingluo Islands are far away from Dali. One spirit stone can buy twenty bags of food. So, eight or nine million spirit stones a year can't be used."

"In other words, our fairy city must earn at least 10 million spiritual stones a year to maintain balance between income and expenditure."

Bai Yu frowned slightly.

Building a city is indeed a costly endeavor.

His net worth is only 30 million, but the spiritual stone is only over 10 million. Plus some savings from Yanyulou, the total is around 20 million.

If this continues, his net worth will only be enough to sustain his income and expenditure for two years.

Bai Yu hugged Lan Yuniang:

"Thank you for your hard work, Lady Yu. Leave the matter of the spirit stone to me."

"Starting from tomorrow, I will take people to explore everywhere and search for elixirs and mines."
