Chapter 706: The Economic Crisis of Master Tushan Xiancheng Ends

Master Tushan Xiancheng.

A youth in green robes opened his eyes, his divine sense sweeping a hundred-li radius around him.

"Ten years have passed; the economic crisis... is over."

Where Jiang Ding's divine sense reached, shops selling magical artifacts, talismans, and pills were bustling; nearby, new artifact workshops were under construction, fully equipped with forging tools and earth fires, their spiritual lights orderly.

This was a professional artifact workshop designed and forged by the Master Tushan Xiancheng Artificers' Guild, combining the opinions of numerous artificers; its efficiency was several times higher than traditional workshops, and its quality superior.

The same held true for other pill workshops, puppet workshops, and talisman workshops.

In past years, lacking orders, many artificers and alchemists had barely sustained their cultivation on these official Master Tushan Xiancheng orders; now, the results finally appeared.

Considering everything, a second-tier artificer or alchemist coming to Master Tushan Xiancheng, while receiving higher-level inheritances, could see their income explode several times over.

Golden light overflowed; using chariots, spears, and halberds as weapons, amidst spreading array patterns, heavenly palaces and pavilions appeared, like heavenly soldiers and generals sweeping away human sins, majestic and awe-inspiring, making people dare not generate the will to resist.

"Kill! Kill!"

The Yin clan's ten-thousand-strong army rose with billowing clouds.

A ten-thousand-strong army.

Not involving life or death, no handmaidens would challenge their status.

In the sea of consciousness, stars were scattered everywhere.

In these years, the economic crisis passed quickly.

The reason, naturally, was that external orders had reappeared and surged.

Loose cultivators and collateral branch Jin Dan cultivators were granted the title of Wei Guan; in reality, they served as vanguard and personal guards, not directly commanding the main army.

Even if Blood Flowing Cloud came personally, he would be helpless against this; once pinned down, waiting for reinforcements from armies elsewhere, death was possible.

The scene unfolding before his eyes was exactly this.

The commander was General Heishi collateral branch member Hei Hei Louxi, a beautiful woman bearing a pair of black wings, commanding over ten Jin Dan cultivators and more than two thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, with no Qi Refining cultivators.

The temptation of Nascent Soul Gong Fa was too great; too many people secretly sent warnings, making information blockade completely unfeasible.

On the grasslands,

a battle was taking place.

Immediately, relying on Jin Dan cultivators secretly defecting from various regions, he organized the army, trained new recruits, enforced strict military laws, forged array weapons, honed battle formations, occasionally gathered personnel, and secretly ambushed the still-loyal Liu Dao Sect armies, succeeding multiple times; panic spread across the Black Snow Great Grasslands.

One side consisted of Liu Dao Sect cultivators: ten thousand people, over ten Jin Dan cultivators, and over a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators; the Yin, Luo, and surviving General Heishi direct branches held all high-ranking Wei Guan positions and most Wei Guan positions, while the remaining Wei Guan and low-ranking officers were filled by loyal members of collateral branches and loose cultivators.

Liu Dao Sect's Holy Son, Yin Dao, flew into a rage.

"Kill!"

Over fifty thousand!

These guys expanded their army again; with the full support of the Blood King Army, they expanded crazily, helping newly arrived handmaidens switch cultivation methods, forging Tian Chong Guang Yao Yang Dao soldiers and swords, without stopping for a moment.

The Liu Dao Sect's ten-thousand-strong army went to quell the rebellion but was ambushed and blocked by a force of over two thousand Master Tushan Handmaidens.

He personally led the Jin Dan guards to pursue and kill, achieving many kills and slaying many members of the Blood Cloud Eighteen Riders, yet he could never capture the core members of the Blood King Army.

They have already achieved quasi-Nascent Soul combat power!

Without this trust, no matter how generous the conditions, so many cultivators would not have come; they feared it was a trap, having often encountered such seemingly beautiful places before.

Moreover, the grandeur surpassed the past; more cultivators of professions like artificers, alchemists, and talisman masters arrived here with dreams.

Now, a Master Dinghai Zhenjun with an excellent reputation vouches for it.

At the Empty Boat Dock, every few ke hours, tower ships flew in from afar, landed, and unloaded massive amounts of raw materials like ores and spiritual herbs from the Northern Plains, without stopping.

Blood Flowing Cloud did not accept immediately; he only let them lie low and wait.

Master Tushan Xiancheng's economy revived again; annual tax revenue approached seventy-five million low-grade spirit stones.

Many reasoned that their meager assets of a few trifles were far inferior to a Master Dinghai Zhenjun's reputation painstakingly built over many years; they would not tear off the face, so safety was very high.

Ten years ago,

in the Cultivation World, income was not just wealth; it determined lifespan!

Even cultivators with the most detached minds, who would not bow for five pecks of rice, could not suppress their inner longing for immortality; thousands of mountains and rivers were no distance at all.

Of course, Tushan Master Dinghai Zhenjun's recognition was also very important.

They had thought the chaos of loose cultivators was already quelled and order restored.

Of course, among this, Tushan Master Dinghai Zhenjun's reputation for keeping a promise worth a thousand gold also played a huge role.

The command authority of Chun Chun Jian and Shang Gong was continuously diluted; currently, they maintained their positions as Head Handmaiden and Deputy Head Handmaiden relying on the prestige of teaching new cultivators and spreading inheritances.

The number,

many female Jin Dan cultivators, after carefully considering the various treatments of the Blood King Army and Master Tushan Handmaidens, finally chose to join the Master Tushan Handmaiden Corps and accept strict military laws.

Yet they did not expect that, with the release of Blood Flowing Cloud's "Edict to Fellow Daoists for Common Nascent Soul," the world was shocked; countless Jin Dan cultivators, including loyal collateral branches of Liu Dao Sect families, joined the Blood King Army without hesitation and secretly communicated with the Blood Cloud Eighteen Riders.

However, from beginning to end, the strict military laws never changed; several Jin Dan cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators had already used their lives to interpret the Master Tushan Military Code.

Immediately, they loaded magical artifacts, talismans, pills, and treasures from Master Tushan Xiancheng, rested briefly, and flew toward the distance again, daring not to delay even a moment.

"Blood Flowing Cloud is rising..."

This was the reason why many cultivators with special skills, unwilling to fall into the precarious chaos of war, traveled thousands of miles to come here.

The Heavenly Soldiers' Spirit-Purging and Demon-Slaying Great Array of the Heavenly Dao!

Master Tushan Handmaidens!

Liu Dao Sect pacified the Black Snow Great Grasslands; Blood Flowing Cloud fled in disgrace, unable to withstand a single blow; everyone submitted to Liu Dao Sect's rule.

This continued for several years; Liu Dao Sect's rule over the Black Snow Great Grasslands showed signs of collapse; chaotic armies rose everywhere, and small and medium-sized units of the Blood King Army began to operate.

The spirit-less desert trade route was restored.

In subsequent rule, whenever the great army went out, demons and monsters scattered and fled, destroyed in a single strike.

The two great armies met; there was no wasted words. In a flash of lightning and spark, they clashed in formation.

In the war of a hundred centuries ago on the Northern Plains, which swept away old sect powers, the Yin family used this formation to root out and slaughter countless sects, establishing the foundation of their clan.

Now, the Master Tushan Maidens of the Northern Plains have become a mixed group of fish and dragons. Apart from the harsh military laws far stricter than those of the Blood King Army, no one can investigate the thoughts of the maids within, where they come from, or whether there are spies from the Liu Dao Sect or the Dari Sect.

On the other side, over two thousand people, all women.

Jiang Ding Zi spoke to himself, looking at the Northern Plains maids in the distance.

Moreover, although the unit price is lower than on the Northern Plains, the quantity is sufficient, very large.

Because here one can obtain inheritances more conveniently, at a cost far lower than elsewhere on the Northern Plains.

On the main street, tourists wove like threads, moving through various shops to purchase all kinds of needed heavenly treasures, earthly gems, pills, and magical artifacts.

On the Master Tushan Maidens' side, green light rose; twisted Xun Wind Flying Swords flew into the air, sword qi and formation patterns spread, wild winds surged everywhere, the aura terrifying. The formation was exquisite to the extreme, forming a Great Xun Wind Array in an instant.

They ignored the fivefold difference in troop numbers and charged directly at the distant Jin Chong Guang Heavenly Palace Array.
