Chapter 318

Three days later.

Ye Qingxuan stood atop the peak of Mount Wanling, looking down over the inside and outside of Dongxuan City.

Today was the day Dongxuan City reopened.

However, for this reopening, he did not intend to appear in person.

Inside the teleportation plaza of the Dongxuan Market.

The teleportation array, originally sealed by Ye Qingxuan, had been unsealed.

Teleportation arrays use array plates or array foundations as targets to perform location-based teleportation.

Although the location of Dongxuan City had changed.

As long as the distance did not exceed the range of the teleportation arrays, it did not affect the use of the previous arrays.

They wanted to see the scenery inside the Water Realm, the gathering place of the legendary sixth-tier demonic beasts.

Since the news of Dongxuan City's reopening had been spread in advance.

Many cultivators who had only heard of Dongxuan City's name but had never visited it.

Instead, they led their subordinates to guard the four city gates of Dongxuan City.

So they traveled from afar directly, hoping to get first-hand news of the city's reopening.

At the same time the teleportation arrays were unsealed.

Xue Yu, Jiang Wen, Li Mu, and Liu Feifeng, each leading their subordinates, walked out from the four city gates respectively.

Incidentally, they were also very curious.

By now, quite a few cultivators had gathered outside Dongxuan City.

They announced together:

"From today, Dongxuan City is officially open to the outside world again. Everyone, please!"

The transparent barrier that had originally shrouded Dongxuan City suddenly faded, and the four tightly closed city gates slowly opened.

It was simply because even for the human city closest to the Water Realm, the journey was extremely long.

As the commanders of Dongxuan City, they decided to personally guard the city gates.

As for why no cultivators below the Purple Mansion realm had arrived.

These people, apart from spies from major factions and Soul Transformation Venerables.

Others were unsure whether the teleportation arrays inside Dongxuan City would open at the same time.

To witness with their own eyes what was so special about a city capable of suppressing a gathering place of sixth-tier demonic beasts.

After speaking, the four did not leave.

They had also arrived one after another outside Dongxuan City during these three years, wanting to enter the city.

This was the first day of Dongxuan City's reopening.

From the Purple Mansion realm at the bottom to the Soul Transformation realm at the top.

For cultivators below the Purple Mansion realm, flying here directly carried too much risk.

So basically, those arriving now were all cultivators of the Purple Mansion realm and above.

Now, they had finally waited for Dongxuan City to open.

These cultivators did not hesitate; they rushed forward all at once, flooding into Dongxuan City.

This was not the first time Dongxuan City had opened to the outside.

Moreover, Dongxuan City's reputation in the Starfall Province was now very great.

So these cultivators were not worried that there would be any problems with Dongxuan City.

Although the flow of people was large, the current city gates of Dongxuan City were no longer what they used to be; they were very wide.

Sufficient to accommodate the entry and exit of numerous cultivators.

Not far after entering the city gates stood a series of teleportation arrays leading to the Dongxuan Market.

Given the vastness of Dongxuan City's interior now.

Ordinary cultivators would need to fly for quite some time to travel from the city gates to the Dongxuan Market.

So, to ensure convenient passage for traveling cultivators, Ye Qingxuan.

Specifically built teleportation plazas leading to the Dongxuan Market near the four city gates.

However, after many cultivators entered Dongxuan City.

They did not choose to take the teleportation arrays to the Dongxuan Market.

Instead, they flew directly into the interior of Dongxuan City, wanting to see the scenery of the former Water Realm.

Regarding this, Xue Yu, Li Mu, Jiang Wen, and Liu Feifeng did not stop them.

The entire Dongxuan City was covered by a great formation.

If anyone caused trouble within Dongxuan City, it would undoubtedly be seeking their own death.

Moreover, at Ye Qingxuan's instruction.

The commerce of Dongxuan City was now not limited to the Dongxuan Market alone.

All spiritual herb and spiritual mine resources within Dongxuan City were now guarded in rotation by cultivators of Dongxuan City.

These resource sites were now one of the sources of raw materials for the Dongxuan Market.

If clients needed to purchase raw materials, they could also directly inspect and select them at the various resource sites throughout Dongxuan City.

This was one of the policies formulated by Ye Qingxuan to divert the cultivators entering Dongxuan City to various parts of the city.

The various-tiered cave dwellings opened up in Dongxuan City were also distributed throughout the city.

Under Ye Qingxuan's regulations, foreign cultivators leasing cave dwellings could not gather in large numbers in the same area.

This was precisely to divert these cultivators to various parts of Dongxuan City.

Let the other areas of Dongxuan City gradually see some foot traffic and slowly become lively.

Besides that, Dongxuan City has now added many new businesses.

For instance.

Outsider cultivators who pass the assessment and become Spirit Plant Masters

can, according to their Spirit Plant Master rank,

lease Spirit Lands of different tiers in Dongxuan City to obtain resources through farming.

As long as they successfully rent Spirit Fields in Dongxuan City,

with the city's protection, they need not worry about beast attacks and can steadily obtain a continuous flow of cultivation resources.

There are also positions such as Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, Talisman Crafters, and Array Masters.

They can all accept fixed crafting tasks in Dongxuan City to continuously obtain cultivation resources.

The expanded Dongxuan City

will inevitably see a surge in demand for various cultivation supplies in the near future.

To achieve self-sufficiency, it must recruit a large number of Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, Talisman Crafters, and Array Masters for cooperation.

Moreover, recruiting a large batch of Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, Talisman Crafters, and Array Masters to settle in Dongxuan City

can also lay the foundation for the city's future expansion and the establishment of new cities.

For many low-rank rogue cultivators, the various recruitment policies within Dongxuan City hold considerable appeal.

Especially this cooperative model: Dongxuan City does not force them to join; they can remain free.

For rogue cultivators accustomed to freedom, this point is bound to be highly enticing.

The policies Ye Qingxuan formulated are all designed to attract a large number of rogue cultivators to settle in Dongxuan City.

How effective they will be, he himself is not yet clear.

Dongxuan City now has land if it needs land, and resources if it needs resources; what it lacks is population.

Most offspring born from cultivators possess spiritual roots.

As long as Dongxuan City gathers a large number of low-rank rogue cultivators to settle, Ye Qingxuan will not worry about a lack of future cultivators being born in Dongxuan City.

Once these cultivators settled in Dongxuan City bear children,

for the sake of their children's future development, these cultivators will most likely join Dongxuan City and serve it.

Therefore, as long as outsider rogue cultivators are tempted and settle in Dongxuan City,

Ye Qingxuan is confident they will not escape his grasp and will dutifully serve Dongxuan City.

Dongxuan City, Dongmen.

Cultivators move with great speed.

Shortly after Dongxuan City opened to the outside, a large batch of rogue cultivators had already entered the city.

At this moment, outside Dongxuan City remain only the Soul Transformation Realm Venerables sent by the major powers of the Xingluo Province.

They wear expressions of hesitation, unwilling to enter Dongxuan City for a long time.

A city capable of suppressing the Waterland Kingdom can surely suppress them with ease.

Although Dongxuan City should not commit such a reckless act against the will of the world.

The longer one has obtained power and the more noble one's status, the less one dares to risk oneself lightly.

Thus, at this moment, they are less bold than those rogue cultivators.

Finally, after a discussion among the group of Soul Transformation Realm Venerables,

they decided to conduct negotiations with Dongxuan City directly outside the city.

Temporarily led by Liu Shuijiang, the late-stage Soul Transformation Realm sect master of the Hidden Bright Sect, they would negotiate with Dongxuan City.

After making their decision, Liu Shuijiang led over a dozen Soul Transformation Realm Venerables to a spot not far from Xueyu and said with a light smile:

"Young friend, we wish to request an audience with your City Lord. Please inform him."
