Chapter 144: Building Cities in the Lower Realm?

The Nine Realms, reduced to a meat grinder.

Now, they have instead become the best cultivation ground for warlike individuals.

As long as one survives the battlefield and offers the hunted prey as a sacrifice, those who survive will basically see their cultivation base improve.

Those cultivators below the Soul Transformation realm.

Those with backing, supported by their powerful factions behind the scenes, have already descended to the lower realms carrying vast resources to build cities in the fallen Nine Realms and establish their own power base.

Regarding this, the high command of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance holds a tacitly approving attitude.

Relying solely on the nine cities built by these hegemonic powers within the fallen Nine Realms is of little help for such a vast expanse.

Only when human cities bloom everywhere in the fallen Nine Realms will humanity have hope of reclaiming the Nine Realms.

However, the Qing Demon Clan will naturally not sit idly by while humans build more cities.

Therefore, any human attempting to build a city in the fallen Nine Realms, once discovered, will inevitably face a counterattack from the Qing Demon Clan.

Only after withstanding several assaults from the Qing Demon Clan can a human-established city be considered truly established in the lower Nine Realms.

Over the past few years, among the human cultivators from the Di Xuan Realm who successfully built cities and established themselves, only about one or two out of ten succeeded.

After all, within the fallen Nine Realms, the cultivators of the Qing Demon Clan still hold the advantage.

For humans to build cities and establish themselves in the fallen Nine Realms is truly an extremely difficult task.

Currently, under the mutual understanding between both sides, the humans building cities are all cultivators below the Soul Transformation realm, with those in the Nascent Soul realm making up the majority.

A single cultivator attempting to build a city, even with certain support from a faction behind them, will not be able to construct a city of great size.

Naturally, building a city in the fallen Nine Realms cannot be done with just any materials.

Furthermore, the larger the city built during construction, the greater the number and strength of the Qing Demon Clan members who will counterattack.

Thus, for many cultivators of the Di Xuan Realm, the successfully built cities are only about ten kilometers across, barely qualifying as cities.

However, once a city is successfully built, one can construct teleportation arrays to connect with other cities, allowing one to pay a price at any time to request aid or abandon the city and flee.

This not only greatly improves safety and provides a main base for training within the Nine Realms, but also brings enormous profits.

In the eyes of human cultivators, Qing Demon Clan cultivators are walking treasures of heaven and earth; after being sacrificed, they can directly and without side effects increase one's cultivation base.

Therefore, the fully opened Nine Realms hold immense attraction for human cultivators, and in recent years, a vast number of cultivators below the Soul Transformation realm from the Di Xuan Realm have flooded into the lower Nine Realms.

After these cultivators flood into the Nine Realms, whenever they need supplies, they will basically obtain them from the various nearby cities.

The corpses of Qing Demon Clan members they hunted that they cannot use themselves are mostly processed directly within these cities.

That is to say, the places where Qing Demon Clan corpses circulate most rapidly now are no longer the major war cities located in the Di Xuan Realm.

Instead, it is the various cities that have successfully established themselves within the fallen Nine Realms.

At that time, the cultivators who successfully built cities will, whether by charging entry fees or operating shops within the city, be able to reap substantial profits.

At the very least, obtaining various low-grade Qing Demon Clan corpses will be an extremely easy matter.

Thinking of this, a flash of sharp light appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

After this change occurred, with a vast number of cultivators flooding into the fallen Nine Realms below, the Xing Zhan City where Xingzhou is located basically cannot expand any further.

However, Ye Qingxuan was not disappointed.

Compared to the shops in Xing Zhan City, Ye Qingxuan already had a better choice.

Why open a shop? Under the condition that Soul Transformation realm experts cannot intervene, he could go to the Xuan Mu Realm to build a city and directly operate a city himself.

Compared to opening a shop under someone else's roof, Ye Qingxuan preferred to build a city from scratch. Under equal circumstances, how could the profits of a single shop compare to those of an entire city? Although he had made his decision in his heart, Ye Qingxuan's clone, the Mysterious Merchant, did not act immediately.

Building a city in the Xuan Mu Realm is a matter of great importance; one must make absolutely thorough preparations.

Ye Qingxuan quietly listened as Ye Qingxiao recounted his experiences over the past seventy-plus years, as well as the current situation in the lower realms.

Speaking to the end, Ye Qingxiao suddenly paused, looked at Ye Qingxuan, and said with a proud smile:

"Qingxuan, you must properly thank me."

"Before returning this time, I promoted your Nuclear Explosion Pills again. Among them, the Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills have completely exploded in popularity within the Xuan Mu Realm."

Ye Qingxiao also did not expect that the Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills would be so effective in the Xuan Mu Realm, which is now filled with demonic energy.

Basically, after using a single third-grade Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pill, the demonic energy within several li would be rapidly purified completely by the energy of the Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pill.

Especially those cultivators who need to build cities, upon learning the effects of the Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills, were overjoyed.

By smashing a few third-grade Spirit Washing Pills down, the location they chose for building their city could be rapidly purified of demonic energy, bringing them considerable convenience for city construction.

If Ye Qingxiao had not seen the atmosphere turning unfavorable and decisively fled with Yu Xueqing, he might have been detained and interrogated.

However, before leaving, he did not forget to promote the Tianfu Shop and the Nuclear Explosion Pills within the Tianfu Shop on behalf of Ye Qingxuan.

Yu Xueqing, standing beside Ye Qingxiao, hearing the conversation between Ye Qingxiao and Ye Qingxuan, wore an expression of utter shock.

She also did not expect that the Nuclear Explosion Pills she and Ye Qingxiao had been promoting all along were actually Ye Qingxuan's enterprise.

Seeing Ye Qingxiao's look as if he was waiting for praise, Ye Qingxuan felt somewhat amused and helpless.

After pouring a cup of tea for the self-satisfied Ye Qingxiao and the shocked Yu Xueqing, Ye Qingxuan glanced at Ye Qingxiao and said, "Speak, how many Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills do you want?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Qingxiao seemed to have his little scheme seen through; he rubbed his palms together somewhat embarrassedly and chuckled, saying:

"Hehe, Qingxuan, you still understand me. Just give me a hundred or eighty pills then."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan glared at Ye Qingxiao, but still nodded, finally adding a somewhat worried instruction:

"The Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills are difficult to refine; use them sparingly."

Having finished speaking, he took out a storage bag and handed it to Ye Qingxiao.

Inside the storage bag were eighty third-grade Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills, twenty fourth-grade Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills, and several mid-grade and low-grade spiritual weapons that Ye Qingxuan gave to Ye Qingxiao.

As for fifth-grade Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills?

Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base currently exposed to the outside world is only the Purple Mansion realm; producing fourth-grade Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills is sufficient.

Taking the storage bag handed to him by Ye Qingxuan, Ye Qingxiao scratched his head somewhat excitedly.

Using Spirit Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills in a world filled with demonic energy feels too good; he cannot be blamed for that. However, Ye Qingxiao did take Ye Qingxuan's words to heart.

He decided that next time he used the Spirit-Washing Nuclear Bomb Elixir, he would only take two at a time, not hurling ten after ten as before.

If Ye Qingxuan knew what Ye Qingxiao was thinking, he would definitely snatch the Spirit-Washing Nuclear Bomb Elixir back.

Even Ye Qingxuan himself could at most only craft the Nuclear Bomb Elixir.

As for the Spirit-Washing Nuclear Bomb Elixir, he used very little each time; each time? It seemed he himself also threw out two or three at a time?

Ye Qingxuan shook his head, stopped dwelling on the issue, glanced at the tea before the two of them, and reminded them:

"This tea has a good effect on you; drink it while it's hot!"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Qingxiao and Yu Xueqing felt greatly curious.
