Chapter 317: Two Years

Above Mount Wanling.

The reaction of the core members was exactly what Ye Qingxuan had expected.

The curiosity and various investigations of the outer members were also seen by Ye Qingxuan one by one.

However, Ye Qingxuan did not stop the outer members from investigating.

Because the outer members of Dongxuan City were destined to be unable to obtain any information from the core members.

He wanted the outer members in Dongxuan City to become curious and exploratory about the treatment enjoyed by the core members.

After the core members, who were originally at the same level as them, gradually surpassed them.

This curiosity and desire to explore would slowly transform into longing for the core members.

At that time, among these outer members.

The cultivators who voluntarily took a Dao oath to become core members would naturally increase gradually.

After he took over the Water Country.

The entire Dongxuan City.

These locations of spiritual veins would need to be guarded by dispatched cultivators on a rotating basis.

It is not something that can change their hearts overnight.

Moreover, within this range, various spirit mines also need people to explore and mine them.

At present.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan was not worried that the newly recruited cultivators of Dongxuan City would have nothing to do.

However, for these cultivators who had lived so long they became cunning.

As his thoughts flowed, Ye Qingxuan was watching the registers of the core members and outer members of Dongxuan City without blinking.

Coincidentally, what Ye Qingxuan lacked the least was time.

Currently, there are ten thousand six hundred and eighty-two core members and eighteen thousand seven hundred and thirty-six outer members.

Ye Qingxuan will continue to recruit cultivators externally to expand the number of cultivators in Dongxuan City.

Including all locations of spiritual veins within a million li around the Water Country.

Ye Qingxuan had left the mark of Dongxuan City, set up array formations and prohibitions, and claimed them as his own.

In the long years to come, he could sit high atop Mount Wanling.

Watching these cultivators change bit by bit.

In the entire Dongxuan City, except for a few scattered cultivators.

For these nearly thirty thousand cultivators, Ye Qingxuan had planned long ago.

Other scattered cultivators willing to join Dongxuan City had all successfully passed and become cultivators under Dongxuan City.

This requires a considerable amount of time.

After two years, when Dongxuan City opens to the outside.

The nearly thirty thousand cultivators in Dongxuan City now sound like a lot.

But for the current Dongxuan City, it is still far from enough.

Especially since Ye Qingxuan also wants to establish new Dongxuan Cities in other provinces outside Xingluo Province.

Once a new Dongxuan City is established outside Xingluo Province, Ye Qingxuan does not want to start from scratch in these provinces.

At that time, a portion of the cultivators and residents from the current Dongxuan City must necessarily be dispatched to develop the new city.

Therefore, the more residents and cultivators Dongxuan City has now, the better.

Anyway, with the pseudo-seventh-grade contract branded by the Starlight Hall.

Even the outer members of Dongxuan City cannot easily betray Dongxuan City.

As long as they can be used by Dongxuan City, Ye Qingxuan does not care whether they sincerely joined Dongxuan City or not.

The true foundation of Dongxuan City in the future still lies among the core members, not those outer members.

Ye Qingxuan believed that, with his support.

The core members of Dongxuan City would gradually soar, supporting the vast world belonging to Dongxuan City in the future.

Time passed, and two years vanished in an instant.

There were only three days left until the day Dongxuan City opened to the outside.

Although two years is short, for the core members of Dongxuan City.

It was enough to bring about earth-shaking changes.

Two years passed.

Li Yuan and Mu Qingqing, the couple who were previously at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.

They broke through to the Purple Mansion realm a step ahead of Sun Da and have now successfully emerged from seclusion.

In high spirits, Li Yuan and Mu Qingqing happily held hands and went to the City Lord's Mansion.

To claim two permanent third-grade cave abodes.

Once this news broke,

It made those cultivators who had already claimed cave abodes and then broke through a major realm cry out that they had suffered a huge loss.

Most of these people were also core members of Dongxuan City.

They originally thought breakthrough was hopeless, so they rashly claimed their permanent cave abodes.

But they did not expect

After learning the news that Li Yuan and Mu Qingqing had both broken through to the Purple Mansion realm.

Except for Sun Da, who was still in seclusion.

Li Yuan's other two friends, Dongxuan City core member Jiang Dongming and outer member Wang Xing.

Not long after Li Yuan and Mu Qingqing broke through, they gathered for a small get-together.

During the gathering, Wang Xing repeatedly hinted, trying to ask Li Yuan and Mu Qingqing the reason for their successful breakthrough.

He wanted to know what benefits one truly gains after becoming a core member.

However, bound by a Dao oath, even if Li Yuan wanted to tell Wang Xing, he could not.

And Jiang Dongming, also a core member, merely smiled without speaking, revealing no information either.

Throughout the entire process, Wang Xing obtained no useful information.

In fact, Wang Xing knew he could not obtain any information.

He knew himself that to become a core member of Dongxuan City, one must swear a Dao oath.

His repeated inquiries stemmed only from his own unwillingness to accept the situation.

As former friends who were both at the Foundation Establishment realm.

Li Yuan, Mu Qingqing, and Jiang Dongming each broke through to the Purple Mansion realm, surpassing him.

Even Sun Da was making a desperate gamble, currently in seclusion to break through to the Purple Mansion realm.

With his lifespan also running low, having only twenty-odd years left, how could he not be anxious?

After the gathering dispersed, having failed to get the information he wanted.

Wang Xing gritted his teeth and, imitating Sun Da, began selling his cave abode at a low price.

He wanted to exchange it for resources, to gamble on an opportunity to break through to the Purple Mansion realm.

Besides Li Yuan and Mu Qingqing, the couple, there were not a few cultivators who had achieved breakthroughs in their cultivation base.

In just two short years.

Within the exclusive exchange list for core members.

Many core members of Dongxuan City, stuck at the peak of Qi Refining, the peak of Foundation Establishment, or even the peak of the Purple Mansion realm.

spent contribution points to exchange for the precious treasures needed to assist their breakthroughs, and one by one achieved breakthroughs.

Among them was Jiang Yinyin, who had previously been at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm.

During these two years.

Relying on the Dao-Comprehension Elixir, Jiang Yinyin had comprehended the mysteries of the Jin Dan realm and successfully advanced to the Jin Dan realm.

She became the fifth Commandant of the Dongxuan Guard.

As for the Jin Dan and Nascent Soul cultivators among the outer members.

for now, they could only become managers or clerks of Dongxuan City, responsible for overseeing the commercial expansion of Dongxuan City.

These people currently held only nominal positions.

The successive breakthroughs of a large number of core members drew the attention and envy of many outer members of Dongxuan City.

At this moment, they only hated that they could not swear a Dao oath to become core members of Dongxuan City.

Many outer members with lifespans nearing their end, unable to breakthrough for a long time.

began to go to the City Lord's Mansion again, wanting to try swearing a Dao oath to become core members of Dongxuan City.

To be honest, in these two years, there were indeed outer members who swore a Dao oath and became core members of Dongxuan City.

However, such cultivators were extremely rare.

Most cultivators came to the City Lord's Mansion to try swearing a Dao oath driven by temptation and greed.

They were not sincerely willing to serve Dongxuan City permanently.

Therefore, they could deceive themselves, but they could not deceive the rules of the Di Xuan Realm.

The Dao oaths they swore did not receive a response from the rules of the Di Xuan Realm, and they remained outer members.
