Chapter 177 - 177: A New Problem (1)

A Spirit Void Battleship tore through the sky and landed in the Zhou Family’s estate.

Below.

A group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Zhou Clan was waiting there.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, you’ve had a tough journey!”

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Zhou Family who was leading the group cupped his hands at Chen Daochuan, who was flying down from the Spirit Void Battleship, and smiled.

“Senior Zhou is too polite.”

Chen Daochuan, who had a short beard on his face, cupped his hands at the other party and smiled.

Seeing the Zhou Clan cultivators looking at the Spirit Void Battleship behind him from time to time, Chen Daochuan immediately introduced,””Thanks to the raw materials from Guang ‘an Immortal City and Ling Zhou Immortal City, the number of pills and magic tools refined by our Chen Family has increased again this month. Senior Zhou, please take a look.”

As he spoke.

Chen Daochuan guided the other party to check the goods that were transported down from the Spirit Void Battleship.

Under Chen Daochuan’s guidance, the Zhou Clan cultivators began to inspect the pills and Dharmic Artifacts that the Chen Clan provided to the frontlines every month.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Zhou Clan nodded his head repeatedly.

“Not bad. The amount of pills this month has increased a lot compared to last month. It seems that the number of alchemists in your Chen family has increased again.”

As he spoke, a complicated look appeared in the Zhou Clan cultivator’s eyes.

“Senior, you flatter me. My Chen family has also invested all the spirit stones we earn into nurturing new alchemists. Not only that, but we have also spent a large number of spirit stones in the family’s inventory. You also know that the initial cost of nurturing an alchemist and an artifact craftsman is too high.”

Chen Daochuan sighed.

“Yes, I am!”

Upon hearing this, the Zhou family cultivator nodded in agreement.

Then, he smiled at Chen Daochuan and said,” However, your Chen family is really bold. You actually dare to nurture alchemists and blacksmiths at all costs. It seems that your Chen family will have a place in the pill market of Guang ‘an Prefecture in the future.”

“I dare not accept it!”

Chen Daochuan waved his hand.” Our Chen family is only messing around in Guang ‘an Prefecture. How can we compare to your Zhou family’s reputation in the entire pill market in Cangzhou?”

“Hahahaha!”

This flattery had clearly struck a chord in the other party’s heart, causing the Zhou Clan cultivator to burst into laughter.

The two of them chatted.

The cultivators under him had already finished counting all the goods.

An early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator walked forward and cupped his hands at the Zhou family deacon.”Sir Deacon, the Chen Clan has brought a total of three types of Tier 1 low-grade spirit pills.

Among them, there were 143,000 Detoxification Pills, 100,000 Breakthrough Pills, and 94,500 Energy Recovery Pills, totaling 337,500 pills.

In addition, there were 5000 low-grade Level One flying swords and 2400 medium-grade Level One flying swords.

The total value of the above goods was 865,000 spirit stones.”

Hearing this report, the Zhou family deacon nodded, indicating that he understood.

“How about it, Fellow Daoist Chen? Do you still want to pay according to the previous method?”

“Yes, half of it will be settled with battle merits.”

Chen Daochuan cupped his hands and smiled.

” Tsk.” The Zhou Clan warden shook his head, his eyes full of envy.” This time, although your Chen Clan was at the rear, you’ve also obtained a lot of battle merits!”

“Not bad, not bad. I can’t compare to Senior Zhou Mubai. It’s said that a few days ago, Senior Zhou Mubai led the cultivators of the eastern defense region to break through a grade-2 yin vein that was transformed by the zombies on Lotus Island and killed nearly a million zombies.”

“Fellow Daoist Chen, you are truly well-informed.”

When the Zhou family warden said this, his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

The successive victories in the eastern defense zone meant that the rear of Guang ‘an Prefecture was becoming more and more stable.

One had to know.

The eastern defense zone was only a part of the entire Guang ‘an Prefecture Coalition Army, not even half of it.

There were also four major defense zones behind Guang ‘an Prefecture.

Other than the weakest Western Defense Zone, the other defense zones were not weak. If all the people in each defense zone were soldiers, they could gather at least a million cultivators.

In addition to the Zifu Disciples stationed in the various regions, they were an extremely powerful reserve force.

As for Lotus Island’s zombie horde, it was even more impossible.

At this moment, they were being pushed back by the Eastern Defense Region Coalition Army. They could not even protect themselves. How could they have the strength to split up and attack the rear of Guang ‘an Prefecture?

Besides, Guang ‘an Prefecture wasn’t a pushover.

If they did so, they would only die faster.

With Sun Fu’s shrewdness, he would never make such a stupid decision.

Redwood Island, Sea-viewing Immortal City.

On the city wall.

Chen Daoxuan and Chen Xianhe stood side by side.

“Thirteenth Uncle, how is it?”

Chen Daoxuan said proudly as he watched himself set up a level 4 formation.

“Not bad, not bad,”

Chen Xianhe kept nodding.” If only my Chen family could set up such an array formation.””

Hearing this.

Chen Daoxuan frowned and shook his head,”Setting up a Tier 4 formation isn’t difficult. The difficult part is how to unleash the power of this Tier 4 formation.

Guanhai Immortal City has a Tier 3 spirit vein as its power source, while my Chen clan’s spirit vein is only Tier 2. It’s difficult to meet the requirements of setting up a Tier 4 array formation.

“Wait a few more months. When my Chen family has accumulated ten million spirit stones and upgraded the spirit vein to level three, it won’t be too late to set up a level four mountain-protecting formation.”

At this point, Chen Daoxuan laughed.”Once the Tier 4 Mountain Protecting Array is set up, my Chen Clan will have the foundation of a great clan.

One had to know that a fourth-tier mountain-protecting formation could even block a Golden Core cultivator. If the person guarding the formation had the cultivation of a Zifu Disciple, he could completely block the attack of a Golden Core cultivator.”

Hearing this.

Chen Xianhe couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Once upon a time, the Chen family did not even have a single spirit meridian. They even had to think twice before spending 500 spirit stones to buy a Meridian Unlocking Pill.

And now, he and Chen Daoxuan were actually openly discussing the matter of advancing to the third rank spirit meridian.

That was really the case.

“Oh right, in order to build this immortal city, you spent nearly 60 million spirit stones on military expenses. I heard that the military salaries of the western defense region are almost unable to be paid? Do you need the clan to help you make up for this portion of spirit stones?”

Chen Xianhe tilted his head to look at Chen Daoxuan and asked.

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan turned to look at the increasingly prosperous

Seaview Immortal City. He smiled and shook his head,”No need, Thirteenth Uncle. Just watch!”

Although he didn’t know what Chen Daoxuan was up to.

However, Chen Xianhe, who knew him well, knew that every time Chen Daoxuan showed such an expression, the problems faced by the Chen family would be solved.

He believed that this time would not be an exception.

As the third large-scale immortal city built by Guang ‘an Prefecture, Seaview Immortal City was different from the markets built by other Foundation Establishment clans.

Firstly.

It was built on top of a grade three spirit vein that was worth more than ten million spirit stones.

Secondly, the buildings in the city, such as the spiritual houses, shops, and roads, were all carefully designed by a master architect of the Yang family who built the city.

He had no choice.

Although Chen Beiwang of the Chen family was a veteran general, he had no experience in building an immortal city.

Other questions aside.

Just the fact that Chen Bei did not understand array formations was enough to make him lose the right to build an Immortal City.

After all, immortal cities were different from mortal cities.

There were all kinds of cultivators living inside, so the requirements for the array formation inside the building were very high.

For example, inns needed to set up various soundproof arrays to prevent spiritual energy from interfering with each other.

The shops in the Immortal City also had to set up various alarm arrays to prevent people from causing trouble in the shops. The merchants could immediately invite the law enforcement members of the main family to uphold justice for them.

Other than that.

For example, spiritual houses that provided cultivation for cultivators and anti-flight formations that prevented cultivators from flying in the air.

They all needed to build arrays.

One had to know that the arrangement of an array formation was not something that could be done by drawing a few circles in the air empty-handed.

To set it up, a large amount of formation materials were needed.

Chen Daoxuan’s Tier 4 mountain protecting array was like this, and the various buildings in the Seaview Immortal City were still the same.

The price of these materials might not be high, but when added together, the price of an entire immortal city was somewhat jaw-dropping.

According to Chen Daoxuan’s plan.

This immortal city was far from being completed.

He had only used one-tenth of the reserved space inside.

By the time the reserved space was fully built, the current population of cultivators in the western defense zone would probably be far from enough to fill it.

Although the Western Defense Zone was also one of the five major defense zones, only those cultivators who were too close to Redwood Island to their ancestral lands and cultivation sites were able to survive.

The other cultivators were more willing to go to Guang ‘an City and Ling Zhou City.

After all, those places had Zifu Disciples guarding them.

Although the cultivators of Guang ‘an Prefecture knew that swords were powerful, in their eyes, Foundation Establishment sword cultivators were far inferior to Zifu Disciples.

In addition, the frontline of the Eastern Defense District was winning one victory after another.

The dark clouds that hung over everyone’s heads gradually dissipated.

Everyone naturally had no reason to run to the “backward” Seaview Immortal City.

As a result, apart from the 100,000 soldiers and cultivators stationed in the Seaview Immortal City, there were less than 300,000 itinerant cultivators and clan cultivators stationed here.

Compared to the millions of cultivators gathered in Guang ‘an Prefecture and the millions of cultivators gathered in Ling Zhou Immortal City, it was a far cry.

In fact…

Even in the southern defense area, the number of freelance martial artists gathered at the city pass outnumbered the number of freelance martial artists in the western defense area.

Regarding this phenomenon.

Chen Daoxuan was not discouraged.

He knew that all treatment came from strength.

Whether it was the Chen family or Chen Daoxuan, they did not give the enemy such confidence.

Naturally, they did not dare to bring their families along and bet all their bets on the Western Defense Region Coalition Army.

Returning to the western defense station.

As soon as they entered the main hall of the headquarters.

A cultivator wearing ling armor strode in like the wind.

When he saw Chen Daoxuan, the cultivator’s eyes lit up and he cupped his hands.”Commander, it’s time to pay this month’s army.”

After saying that.

He looked at Chen Daoxuan nervously.

Chen Daoxuan wanted to build an immortal city on the island.

Back then, many cultivators in the western defense alliance were against it.

However, as Chen Daoxuan’s subordinates, they could not disobey his orders.

Right now.

The problem that the cultivators had been worried about had finally happened.

The alliance army in the western defense region was already starting to be unable to pay the soldiers of the alliance army..
