Chapter 354

In the stone pavilion outside the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Ye Qingxuan was currently standing at the edge of the stone pavilion, hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance.

Five years had passed.

The branch city of Dongxuan City in the Eastern Xuan Region had long been fully established.

Ye Qingxuan's two major avatars had each slain a sixth-rank demonic beast in the Jitian Region and the Luotian Region respectively.

Each had seized a sixth-rank spiritual vein.

Based on these sixth-rank spiritual veins, they built cities and deployed sixth-rank supreme-grade city-protecting arrays.

Ye Qingxuan named these two branch cities Jitian Dongxuan City and Luotian Dongxuan City respectively.

Besides the sixth-rank arrays,

Ye Qingxuan also dispatched two sixth-rank puppets to garrison these two major branch cities.

Since the mortal residents within the Dongxuan City of the Xingluo Region had not yet reached their capacity limit,

and since the two major branch cities had just been established and were not yet fully stable,

the two newly built branch cities did not admit any mortal residents.

After construction was completed,

Ye Qingxuan selected three thousand cultivators each from the outer-circle members of Dongxuan City to station in these two major branch cities.

Then, the core members of Dongxuan City, currently the five Foundation Establishment Commandants, would take turns governing the branch cities.

Although the Commandants of Dongxuan City were only at the Foundation Establishment realm,

governing a sixth-rank supreme-grade grand array and supported by sixth-rank puppets, they could easily handle most problems.

Moreover, teleportation arrays connecting the two major branch cities to the Dongxuan City of the Xingluo Region were established within them.

Should an insurmountable problem arise, Ye Qingxuan could provide support at any time.

However, the distance between Jitian Dongxuan City and Luotian Dongxuan City was far too great.

To teleport across a major region, a seventh-rank teleportation array was required.

Ye Qingxuan could not yet deploy a seventh-rank teleportation array.

Therefore, the teleportation arrays leading to the two major branch cities were achieved by arranging multiple teleportation arrays as transfer points.

Depending on the distance,

Ye Qingxuan arranged five to six sixth-rank supreme-grade teleportation arrays along the route to the branch cities respectively.

After the two major branch cities were completed,

Ye Qingxuan did not intervene excessively.

Instead, he delegated authority to his subordinates, allowing them to develop the commerce of the branch cities using Dongxuan City's current business model.

After discussion, the five Commandants of Dongxuan City

decided to open the situation in their respective regions for Jitian Dongxuan City and Luotian Dongxuan City through the format of an auction.

The first auctions of the two major branch cities

featured fourth and fifth-rank heavenly treasures and earthly herbs as the main items, with three sixth-rank items serving as the headliners.

Once the information regarding the branch city auctions of Dongxuan City and their items was spread,

it instantly attracted the attention of major powers and numerous lone cultivators in the Jitian Region and the Luotian Region.

Under the promotion of the auction items,

the two major branch cities of Dongxuan City formally entered the view of major powers and lone cultivators in both regions.

For a time,

a large number of cultivators, mixed with spies, carrying emotions of curiosity, anticipation, and surprise,

surged into the two major branch cities of Dongxuan City from all directions.

They prepared to explore the Dongxuan City branch cities to see what they were truly like.

However, there were no interconnected teleportation arrays between the major regions of the Dongji Domain.

Information was relatively isolated.

Currently, the major powers in the Jitian Region and the Luotian Region had not yet uncovered the true background of the Dongxuan City branch cities.

At the opening ceremony of the Dongxuan City branch city auctions,

to avoid unnecessary trouble, under Ye Qingxuan's indication,

the Dongxuan City branch cities directly revealed the existence of the sixth-rank supreme-grade city-protecting arrays and the sixth-rank puppets.

Ye Qingxuan established branch cities in other major regions of the Dongji Domain

for commercial layout and to gather resources from other major regions,

not to play the pig to eat the tiger or to show off and slap faces.

Appropriately exposing part of one's trump cards

could deter the major powers in the Jitian Region and the Luotian Region.

The facts were exactly as Ye Qingxuan had predicted.

After revealing the existence of the sixth-rank supreme-grade city-protecting arrays and the sixth-rank puppets,

the major powers became wary, losing the recklessness they had shown when they first entered the Dongxuan City branch cities.

The spies they sent also acted with much more restraint within the Dongxuan City branch cities.

Under these conditions, the auctions of the two major branch cities of Dongxuan City concluded smoothly.

Jitian Dongxuan City and Luotian Dongxuan City became famous with a single auction.

Furthermore, with the markets already operating within the two major branch cities,

after the auctions concluded, they attracted and retained many lone cultivators from the Jitian Region and the Luotian Region.

Thus, Jitian Dongxuan City and Luotian Dongxuan City.

Successfully established themselves in Jitianzhou and Luozhou.

Supported by the large stockpile of mid- and low-tier resources Ye Qingxuan deliberately accumulated in the early stages.

These two branch cities directly entered a period of rapid commercial development.

During this process, the Fuxiu Alliance under Ye Qingxuan's command played a significant auxiliary role.

Currently, the first- and second-tier resources consumed by Xingluozhou Dongxuan City and the two Dongxuan City branch cities mostly come from the Fuxiu Alliance.

It must be known that besides cultivating spiritual plants, the blessed lands of the Fuxiu.

Can also use the source of their blessed lands to nurture spiritual mines.

It is just that most Fuxiu do not do this in the early stages.

But the sheer number of Fuxiu within the Fuxiu Alliance now cannot be ignored.

There will always be some Fuxiu.

Who, for various reasons, will use the source within their blessed lands to nurture spiritual mines.

Especially since selling these spiritual mines to the Fuxiu Alliance allows them to obtain spirit stones, accumulate points, and exchange them for the source of spiritual veins.

Many short-sighted and profit-driven Fuxiu chose to expend their source within their own blessed lands to nurture spiritual mines.

Moreover, a very few Fuxiu with limited options might find natural spiritual mines within their blessed lands.

Because the initial grade of the blessed land is not high.

Even if spiritual mines exist, they are only micro-mines, and the Xuantian Sect does not care about such vein deposits.

Therefore, lucky Fuxiu whose contracted blessed lands contain micro-mines.

Can consider these spiritual mines as one of their resource assets.

Thus, the current Fuxiu Alliance can not only supply low-tier spiritual herbs.

But also supply low-tier spiritual mines.

Like Ye Qingxuan's Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, which initially had no spiritual mines.

He did not expend his source to deliberately cultivate and nurture various spiritual mines.

However, Ye Qingxuan integrated many spiritual mines into his Cave Heaven Blessed Land for analysis.

Coupled with the subsequent continuous advancement of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

During the process of advancement and expansion, numerous spiritual mines naturally formed within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

It is just that these spiritual mines are currently only first- to third-tier low-tier spiritual mines.

For Ye Qingxuan, these spiritual mines are not of much use right now.

And the commercial forces under his command can already achieve self-sufficiency in first- to fifth-tier resources.

It is not yet necessary for him to mine these low-tier spiritual mines within his Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan has never tallied exactly how many low-tier spiritual mines exist within his Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

With the existence of the Fuxiu Alliance.

Ye Qingxuan no longer needs to worry about the supply of low-tier resources.

Five years passed.

The number of formal Fuxiu within the Fuxiu Alliance did not increase.

But under Zhu Dafu's persuasion and recruitment efforts.

Nearly ninety Fuxiu reserve disciples were added.

It can be said that the new batch of Fuxiu reserve disciples from the Fuxiu Academy.

Has been almost entirely absorbed into the Fuxiu Alliance under Ye Qingxuan's command.
