Chapter 188: Dongxuan Token

In Dongxuan City.

With one month remaining until the auction in Dongxuan City.

Ye Qingxuan summoned all members of the Dongxuan City Guard to gather, and instructed: "Tomorrow, this seat will unseal the teleportation array and fully open Dongxuan City."

"As the Dongxuan City Guard, starting tomorrow, you must maintain order within the city."

"Anyone who violates the Dongxuan laws will be severely punished."

Although there is still a month until the auction.

Ye Qingxuan plans to open the Dongxuan market district in advance for a preliminary warm-up to pave the way for the auction.

Otherwise, opening Dongxuan City to the outside world and holding the auction simultaneously would seem somewhat rushed.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, the members of the Dongxuan City Guard raised no objections. Led by Xue Yu, Jiang Wen, Li Mu, and Liu Feifeng, they spoke in unison:

"Yes, City Lord!"

Afterwards, Ye Qingxuan produced a batch of tokens and distributed one to each person in turn.

Two Dao characters were inscribed on the tokens: Dongxuan! The tokens for members, squad leaders, company commanders, and battalion commanders were all different, with slight variations in color.

After distributing the tokens to everyone, Ye Qingxuan explained: "These are Dongxuan Tokens. With a Dongxuan Token, you can command part of the power of the Dongxuan City array."

"Different ranks receive different tokens, and the array power they can command varies accordingly."

"Within the scope of Dongxuan City, a member's token can suppress Qi Refining realm cultivators, a squad leader's token can suppress Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, a company commander's token can suppress Purple Mansion realm cultivators, and a battalion commander's token can suppress Golden Core realm cultivators."

"Moreover, the tokens held by the various commanders can control the tokens held by their respective subordinates."

"The more tokens gathered, the greater the power the commander's token can unleash."

"If it is a full-strength battalion, its commander can, using the token in hand, kill most Nascent Soul realm cultivators below the Soul Transformation realm within the scope of Dongxuan City."

The function of the Dongxuan Token also covers that of the array tablet.

Ye Qingxuan decided that henceforth, all array tablets would be uniformly called Dongxuan Tokens.

Depending on one's status, the functions possessed by one's Dongxuan Token differ.

As soon as he finished speaking, excitement immediately surged in the eyes of the three battalion commanders—Li Mu, Jiang Wen, and Liu Feifeng. The hands holding their tokens tightened involuntarily.

Even Xue Yu, who was usually silent and indifferent in temperament, could not help but show an unmistakable fluctuation in her eyes.

So far, Dongxuan City has only four full-strength battalions.

The commanders of these four full-strength battalions are Xue Yu, Li Mu, Jiang Wen, and Liu Feifeng.

It must be known that although the four of them are battalion commanders of the Dongxuan City Guard.

Their own cultivation bases are only at the Purple Mansion realm.

The strongest among them, Xue Yu, is currently only at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

Now, relying on the tokens in their hands, they can cross realms to kill Nascent Soul realm cultivators within the scope of Dongxuan City; how could they not be excited? In fact, what they did not know was this:

Relying solely on a Purple Mansion realm cultivation base and a single token, without having obtained true control over the sixth-order array.

It is impossible to command significant power from the sixth-order array to kill Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

However, Ye Qingxuan would not easily hand over the true array authority of Dongxuan City to other cultivators.

The reason they can command the power of the sixth-order array through a single token.

Is mainly because Ye Qingxuan is stationed within Dongxuan City, personally controlling the city-protecting array.

When the token is activated, Ye Qingxuan can secretly adjust the array's authority, granting them temporary authority, or directly manipulate the Dongxuan City array.

The four of them, however, were unaware of this secret.

They were still completely immersed in the joy of obtaining the tokens and commanding part of the power of the Dongxuan City array.

Not only them, but the other members of the Dongxuan Guard also wore expressions of joy and excitement.

Seeing their reactions, Ye Qingxuan spoke again, sternly: "Remember, I granted you these tokens so that you may better protect Dongxuan City."

"Whoever it may be, anyone who violates the Dongxuan laws will be severely punished; anyone who forcibly provokes Dongxuan City will be executed without mercy!"

"Do you understand?"

At the end of his words, Ye Qingxuan's aura, deep as an abyss, erupted violently. He directly used the power of his spiritual sense to strike their minds. The dual pressure from body and soul made the members of the Dongxuan Guard feel Ye Qingxuan's overwhelming might clearly for the first time.

Terrified, all members of the Dongxuan Guard immediately responded in unison: "We understand! Please rest assured, City Lord; we will not fail your expectations!"

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly. His gaze swept over the crowd, and finally, he looked deeply at the four of them: Xue Yu, Li Mu, Jiang Wen, and Liu Feifeng.

"Very well, you may go! Conduct yourselves wisely!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

After everyone left.

The news that Dongxuan City would open in advance spread at an extremely fast speed to the outside of Dongxuan City.

Ye Qingxuan did not seal off the information regarding the opening of Dongxuan City.

Therefore, many cultivators obtained the news immediately through friends within Dongxuan City.

With more people knowing, the speed of dissemination naturally increased.

Before the second day when Dongxuan City would truly open.

Cultivators outside who had any interest in Dongxuan City had basically all learned of the information that Dongxuan City was about to open.

While cultivators outside waited for Dongxuan City to open.

In the mortal city district within Dongxuan City, some residents had already taken action.

In recent years, the Dongxuan Academy has produced some students with spiritual roots every year.

Once a student is detected to have spiritual roots, the city district, the academy, and the student all receive a small reward of contribution points.

For the development of the city district or their own families.

Most of these contribution points were exchanged by the residents of the mortal city district for spiritual grains, spiritual medicine seeds, Eight Treasures Chickens, fragrant pigs, and spiritual rabbits.

After several years of development.

In the mortal district of Dongxuan City, a few people had already harvested some first-grade spirit grains, first-grade spirit herbs, Eight-Treasure Chickens, fragrant pigs, and spirit rabbits.

Now, the opening of Dongxuan City is imminent.

The residents of the mortal district of Dongxuan City are preparing to take their harvests from these years to set up stalls in the Dongxuan Market.

Among them is Yinyin, who is already nineteen years old.

She was found to possess a five-element spiritual root and received the largest contribution point reward, a full 1,000 contribution points.

After the students of Dongxuan Academy were tested for their spiritual roots,

Ye Qingxuan would continue to supply cultivation resources for twelve years, allowing these students to remain at Dongxuan Academy to cultivate.

Therefore, Yinyin no longer needed to worry about her cultivation resources.

Under her grandfather's suggestion, the 1,000 contribution points she obtained were all used to purchase spirit grains, spirit herb seeds, and Eight-Treasure Chickens.

After so many years, she had already accumulated quite a few first-grade spirit grains, spirit herbs, and the semi-spirit beast, the Eight-Treasure Chicken.

Tossing the storage bag in her hand, Yinyin, who had now blossomed into a graceful young woman, displayed a look of pride on her delicate face.

After waiting a moment at the district's teleportation array, and seeing a few figures arriving late, Yinyin furrowed her beautiful brows: "Zhang Ergou, Wang Dama, and Li Huahua, you three walk faster."

"Coming, coming, Big Sister!"

Hearing Yinyin's words, the three figures hurriedly quickened their pace.

The three were exactly the loyal underlings Yinyin had subdued: Zhang Ergou, Wang Dama, and Li Huahua.

Among them, Zhang Ergou was found to have a two-element spiritual root, while Wang Dama and Li Huahua were found to have one-element spiritual roots.

The three of them, along with Yinyin, were all students of Dongxuan Academy within the same district, and their ages were nearly the same.

Once the three drew near,

Yinyin let out a dissatisfied snort, bared her small tiger teeth, and fiercely intimidated her three underlings before finally acting tsundere: "Hmph, let's go!"

Then, led by Yinyin, the four of them stepped into the teleportation array together, heading toward the area of the Dongxuan Market.
