Chapter 186: Three Years

Jiang Wen and Li Mu, who had been sent out of Dongxuan City by Ye Qingxuan.

The moment they landed, they eagerly opened the golden scroll to check the auction item list for Dongxuan City.

Seeing the items listed, Jiang Wen and Li Mu's eyes filled with excitement.

Many of the items listed held a strong attraction for them.

Having witnessed their city lord's depth of resources, the two felt even more fortunate for having chosen to join the Dongxuan City Guard back then.

After browsing the auction list, Jiang Wen took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitement: "Let's go! It's time to handle the real business."

Hearing this, Li Mu came to his senses and nodded slightly:

"Good!"

Thus, the two immediately flew toward Huangfeng City.

Their cultivation base was only at the Purple Mansion realm.

Reaching Huangfeng City would take quite some time.

Inside Dongxuan City.

After sending Jiang Wen and Li Mu out of Dongxuan City,

Ye Qingxuan opened the spatial gate again, teleporting vast amounts of cultivation supplies from the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven into Dongxuan City.

Among these supplies, besides the auction items,

there were large quantities of low-grade elixirs, talismans, array discs, various magic treasures, massive amounts of raw materials, and numerous auxiliary puppets.

Carrying these items, Ye Qingxuan arrived in the Dongxuan Market to begin the final preparations.

All these items were intended by Ye Qingxuan to fill the stock shortages in the shops of the Dongxuan Market.

Once the Dongxuan Market opens to the public, a massive influx of cultivators is certain.

Ye Qingxuan needed to make full preparations in advance.

Currently, there is a shortage of personnel.

The shops within the Dongxuan Market are planned to operate like the Mysterious Mall.

All goods will be centrally managed at a distribution center, with small teleportation arrays built in each shop to transport items.

Every shop will be operated by auxiliary puppets.

This approach will significantly reduce the manpower Ye Qingxuan requires.

Time passed bit by bit, and the entire Dongxuan City was bustling with activity.

Whether building the academy, reclaiming wasteland to grow grain, or carefully polishing their new homes, everyone's face was filled with joy.

Especially regarding the establishment of the Dongxuan Academy, hardly anyone was unwilling.

Who wouldn't want their children to have the chance to personally contact or even enter the path of cultivation? Moreover, the Dongxuan Academy is completely free.

This made it nearly impossible for Dongxuan City residents not to support it! To ensure the smooth opening of the Dongxuan Academy, nearly half the people in the city district took on the task of constructing the academy.

Following Ye Qingxuan's instructions, all future construction in the Dongxuan City district should be done by ordinary residents whenever possible.

Cultivators only need to maintain order, register the population, and pay wages.

Those willing to work hard and contribute to Dongxuan City will naturally obtain a better life.

Ye Qingxuan was not worried that the currency in the ordinary district of Dongxuan City would depreciate due to massive inflows.

He only needed to occasionally release low-grade cultivation resources, such as demon beast meat, into the ordinary market to easily control the original value of the ordinary currency.

Currently, all 10,800 Dongxuan Academies across the city districts are being built by ordinary people.

The Guard led by Liu Fei only conducts simple daily patrols and registers the contribution points residents are entitled to.

Meanwhile, the district heads in each area are recruiting qualified teachers to study the cultivation books printed by Ye Qingxuan, preparing for the opening of the Dongxuan Academy.

Three years passed in a flash.

In three years, Jiang Wen and Li Mu had completed the tasks assigned by Ye Qingxuan and successfully returned to Dongxuan City.

Nowadays, Dongxuan City has established teleportation arrays connecting with five neutral Nascent Soul-level cities.

Furthermore, as the auction item list of Dongxuan City spread, its reputation in Xingluozhou grew ever greater. Many Nascent Soul-level and Jin Dan-level cities have sent envoys to Dongxuan City, wishing to establish teleportation array connections.

Regarding these requests, Ye Qingxuan accepted everyone without refusal.

The more teleportation arrays connected, the more cultivators will flow into Dongxuan City in the future.

Ye Qingxuan was not worried that his Dongxuan City would fail to attract cultivators from other cities.

It is just that, so far, Dongxuan City has not yet opened.

Therefore, these teleportation arrays are currently in an inactive state.

Ye Qingxuan plans to open them together with the Dongxuan Auction when the ten-year deadline arrives.

Although Dongxuan City has not yet opened, its influence has already begun to emerge.

Because Ye Qingxuan suppressed the Myriad Spirit Mountain and established Dongxuan City,

many rogue cultivators have now come to this area, hunting demon beasts and picking spiritual herbs in the various mountain ranges, valleys, and waters outside Dongxuan City.

Even some rogue cultivators have accidentally discovered second and third-grade spiritual veins, establishing small gathering places.

Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan adopted a tacitly approving attitude.

Only by gathering a large number of rogue cultivators near Dongxuan City can the city develop better.

The gains these rogue cultivators make now will eventually flow into Dongxuan City once it opens.

As long as they do not leave, Ye Qingxuan does not care too much about some low-grade spiritual herbs and spiritual veins outside Dongxuan City.

Three years.

The Dongxuan Academies in all city districts of Dongxuan City have been successfully completed and opened.

Now, all children in Dongxuan City are attending the Dongxuan Academy.

Older children, without needing any urging, are more eager to attend school than one another.

But some young, playful children were forced to the academy by their parents holding leather straps.

Studying at Dongxuan Academy, even if one later discovers they lack a spiritual root, the knowledge acquired is not entirely useless.

The mortal residents of Dongxuan City and the cultivation world are not completely isolated from each other.

Under the policies formulated by Ye Qingxuan.

The mortal residents of Dongxuan City, after obtaining enough contribution points.

Can exchange low-grade spiritual grains and spiritual medicine seeds to plant themselves and gain substantial profits.

Ye Qingxuan even placed semi-spirit beasts like the spiritual rabbit, the Eight Treasures Chicken, and the fragrant pig, raised in the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven, on the exchange list, allowing the mortal residents of Dongxuan City to exchange and raise them.

Therefore, as long as one studies diligently at Dongxuan Academy, even without a spiritual root, one will live a good life in the future relying on the knowledge learned.

To motivate the teachers and students of Dongxuan Academy in the various city districts.

Ye Qingxuan also formulated various assessment systems, divided into student theoretical knowledge assessments and student spiritual root detections.

Once the standards are met, both the academy and the students will receive generous rewards.

Over the past three years, twelve-year-old children have successively been detected to have spiritual roots.

However, most of them possess only one to three-element spiritual root talents, which are not particularly outstanding.

It was the little girl Yinyin who successfully detected a five-element spiritual root, currently the only talent above the three-element level.

After detecting the five-element spiritual root, Yinyin was pampered by her academy, which made her become even more unrestrained.

Every day, besides attending classes and cultivating, she spent the rest of her time at the academy recruiting her own underlings, acting like a big sister.

Regarding this, as long as Yinyin does not go too far, the academy teachers turn a blind eye.

The appearance of a five-element spiritual root, for the newly established Dongxuan City.

This is already a good start.
