Chapter 176: Required Materials

A few days later, Ye Qingxuan arrived at Qingli City again.

This time, Ye Qingxuan was prepared to teleport to Huang Feng City, which was closest to Mount Wanling Mountain, through the teleportation array in Qingli City.

Huang Feng City is one of the five neutral cities in the Star Fall Province with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators sitting in charge.

Neutral factions are factions that do not participate in any faction disputes and do not expand their own territory.

The other four neutral cities with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators sitting in charge are: White Cultivation City, Phoenix Fall City, Emperor Sword City, and Heavenly Blade City.

As long as the population in the city reaches over one million, one can communicate with these five major cities through teleportation arrays.

As the provincial capital of Qingli County, Qingli City naturally communicates with these five major cities through teleportation arrays.

The more teleportation arrays in a city, the more it can accelerate the circulation of cultivators, which is more conducive to the development of the city.

These five major cities are also one of the goals for Ye Qingxuan to expand his business in the future.

He obtained the population of Green Light City, so the threshold of one million population is not a problem.

The reason why Green Light City did not build teleportation arrays communicating with the five major cities.

It was mainly because Zhou Qingguang did not have enough spirit stones to invite array masters above the fifth order to build teleportation arrays.

This point, for Ye Qingxuan, is an easy task.

Once the teleportation array is connected, doing business in these five major neutral cities will be much easier.

At that time, he could also use these five major cities to attract endless cultivators to come and settle in the new city.

Through the teleportation array in Qingli City, Ye Qingxuan soon arrived at Huang Feng City, which was closest to Mount Wanling Mountain.

Huang Feng City was opened by the Huang Feng Daoist, a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm perfection, and its area was... anyway, very large.

It is said that this Huang Feng Daoist secretly keeps a group of spirit beast yellow bees, and his combat power is not bad.

After arriving at Huang Feng City, Ye Qingxuan did not stay in the city for long.

Leaving Huang Feng City, determining the direction of Mount Wanling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan took out the flying boat and flew toward Mount Wanling Mountain.

It took a few days for Ye Qingxuan to arrive at the territory of Mount Wanling Mountain.

"Is this Mount Wanling Mountain?"

Ye Qingxuan looked at the mountain peaks in front of him that went straight into the clouds, surrounded by white mist, with spiritual light appearing from time to time, and nodded with satisfaction.

Spending some time, Ye Qingxuan flew around Mount Wanling Mountain.

He discovered that the entire Mount Wanling Mountain covered an area of more than ten thousand square kilometers, and its height was unknown.

There were also many first to fourth-order spiritual veins scattered around, forming spiritual lands of various sizes.

These spiritual lands had hills, valleys, and pools, everything one expects to find.

Flying to the high sky of Mount Wanling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan looked down at this land.

Calculating slightly in his heart, Ye Qingxuan decided to take Mount Wanling Mountain as the center and build a city with a length and width of 3,000 kilometers each.

At that time, Mount Wanling Mountain could be opened up into various cultivation cave dwellings and spiritual lands for cultivators to rent for cultivation or farming.

For the many spiritual lands around Mount Wanling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan also prepared to circle them into the city and build them into various spiritual vein courtyards.

Other areas would be used to settle mortal residents, distributing farmland to them and letting them rely on themselves.

It's just that building such a large city would not be completed in a short time.

Not to mention other buildings in the city.

Just for the city walls, Ye Qingxuan would need to consume a lot of materials.

This time, Ye Qingxuan did not intend to use spiritual materials to build the city.

If he used all spiritual materials to build the city, Ye Qingxuan would probably go bankrupt.

So for the city walls and the buildings within the city walls, Ye Qingxuan prepared to use mortal minerals as raw materials.

Besides that.

The city-protecting array of the city, this one could not be careless.

A city covering an area of 9 million square kilometers, if he used array disks to set up the array, he would have to consume at least tens of thousands of array disks.

So Ye Qingxuan decided to build array bases under the earth directly.

Based on 1080 array bases, he would use the power of the earth and the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins to set up a mid-sixth-order city-protecting array.

Moreover, building array bases and setting up the array based on the array bases.

Ye Qingxuan could completely engrave multiple array patterns on the array bases and set up multiple arrays.

Two fifth-order spiritual veins, plus hundreds of spiritual veins below the fifth order around and the power of the earth, were already enough to barely support a mid-sixth-order city-protecting array.

Even if the energy was lacking in the end and he needed to use the grand array, he could just invest some supreme-grade spirit stones.

As for the attributes of the grand array, Ye Qingxuan decided to take the five elements as the main and yin and yang as the auxiliary.

Calculating for a moment, Ye Qingxuan decided to take the five-element essence and yin-yang essence as the main to build 1080 array bases.

The sixth-order five-element essence and yin-yang essence are worth about 600 supreme-grade spirit stones/cubic meter.

Building one array base requires about 1 cubic meter of materials.

Therefore, building this city, Ye Qingxuan alone would need to spend about 648,000 supreme-grade spirit stones just to build 1080 array bases.

With so many spirit stones, based on the current net profit of the Tianfu shop, Ye Qingxuan would need several years to earn them back.

Inside the city, Ye Qingxuan prepared to set up another 10,000 small teleportation arrays, distributed in the city, to facilitate the passage of residents in the city.

The materials needed for one small teleportation array are about 1 supreme-grade spirit stone.

10,000 small teleportation arrays total 10,000 supreme-grade spirit stones.

Five-element essence, yin-yang essence, and the materials needed for small teleportation arrays, Ye Qingxuan prepared to purchase them within the Profound Yi Tianzong.

But the mortal minerals needed for city building, Ye Qingxuan intended to purchase them in the Star Fall Province.

Actually, such minerals are everywhere.

It's just that the amount Ye Qingxuan needs is too large; if he mined them himself, it would consume a lot of time.

Ye Qingxuan did not want to waste this time mining minerals himself.

The array is the main defense means of the city, so the city does not need to be built too high.

For a city with a length and width of 3,000 kilometers each, Ye Qingxuan intended to set the city wall height at 10 meters and the thickness at 1 meter.

Just for the city walls, Ye Qingxuan would need to consume 120 million cubic meters of materials.

Plus the buildings within the city walls, Ye Qingxuan intended to purchase 1 billion cubic meters of mortal materials at once.

After making the plan.

Ye Qingxuan's main body, far away in the Profound Yi Tianzong, had already begun to act.

Although Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness is currently on the external incarnation Gui Xuanzi, this does not affect the daily actions and cultivation of Ye Qingxuan's main body.

After letting Zhu Dafu purchase the required materials.

Ye Qingxuan intended to refine the 1080 array bases himself.

And for the array disks of the 10,000 small teleportation arrays, to save time, Ye Qingxuan subcontracted them to various channels of the Tianfu shop to refine.

While the main body was acting.

Ye Qingxuan's external incarnation in the Star Fall Province also began to prepare.

First, he piloted the flying boat back to Huang Feng City and found the Bai Bao Ge in Huang Feng City.

As a neutral Deity Transformation-level faction that only does business, the Bai Bao Ge exists in almost all major cities.

"Distinguished guest, is there anything you need help with?"

Just as he entered the Bai Bao Ge in Huang Feng City, a beautiful woman with Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation came up to greet him with a smile.

"Do you have mortal minerals for sale?"

"Mortal minerals? Is the distinguished guest wanting to build a city?"

Regarding Ye Qingxuan's inquiry, she didn't seem surprised, but instead directly stated Ye Qingxuan's purpose.

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan was somewhat surprised, but did not choose to hide it, just nodded faintly:

"That's right!"
