Chapter 422: The Excitement of the Three Thousand Fortune Cultivators

The previous three thousand Fortune Cultivators.

Did not reach the carrying limit of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Plus, over these years.

Due to promotions to lower ranks, numerous first-grade spirit veins were born within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

The entire Qingxuan Cave Heaven, even if it accommodated another three thousand Fortune Cultivators.

Should not cause any negative impact on the overall environment or the density of spiritual energy of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

As for the Qingxuan Fortune Land?

Ye Qingxuan pondered deeply for a long time.

Decided not to expand the Fortune Cultivators under his command within the Qingxuan Fortune Land for now.

"Hahaha, wonderful. After waiting nearly a hundred years, I have finally waited for this day."

He is now within the attention of Cen Zhe, the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect.

"Can I return now?"

Directly through the boundary steles controlled by the three thousand Fortune Cultivators within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven, he issued an announcement:

"Effective immediately, restrictions are lifted. The three thousand Fortune Cultivators may exchange their points for permission to temporarily leave their respective Fortune Lands."

"After leaving their respective Fortune Lands, they may travel within the Cave Heaven or return to Dongxuan City."

Therefore.

Who knows when, Cen Zhe might suddenly decide to visit his Qingxuan Fortune Land again.

The vast majority were cultivators whose lifespans were nearly exhausted, hanging on by a thread.

It is already enough for him to complete the expansion of the Fortune Cultivators under his command.

Even he cannot see through the future situation.

Complete the expansion of the Fortune Cultivators under his command.

By then, if Cen Zhe wishes to enter the Qingxuan Fortune Land.

It immediately stirred up quite a commotion among the three thousand Fortune Cultivators.

There is still about ten years until the formal descent of the Green Demon Realm.

After forming a plan in his heart.

If Cen Zhe discovers him cultivating Fortune Cultivators within the Qingxuan Fortune Land.

Upon sensing the announcement within their respective boundary steles, they were all overjoyed.

"Time passes easily; are old friends still here? Alas."

"When we first chose to become Fortune Cultivators, we thought we would be trapped in the Fortune Land to spend our remaining lives. We never expected the City Lord to give us new hope later."

Instantly synchronized into the boundary steles controlled by the various Fortune Cultivators within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Ye Qingxuan could only temporarily abandon his plan to cultivate Fortune Cultivators within the Qingxuan Fortune Land.

He did not appear directly to meet the three thousand Fortune Cultivators within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

"Finally, can I exchange for permission to leave temporarily? I thought the City Lord had forgotten me, wuwuwu."

Ye Qingxuan prepared, before the descent of the Green Demon Realm.

As soon as the announcement was issued.

And had already taken Cen Zhe as his master.

The Fortune Cultivators who were originally in seclusion cultivating, or managing spirit herbs, or refining elixirs, forging artifacts, creating talismans, or studying formations.

Ten years.

Since this was Ye Qingxuan's first attempt, the publicly announced rules for Fortune Cultivators were extremely harsh.

Therefore.

That would be difficult to explain.

Among the three thousand cultivators willing to become Fortune Cultivators.

When selecting the first batch of Fortune Cultivators.

A hundred years ago.

Now the Green Demon Realm is about to descend; by then, the variables will be too great.

Ye Qingxuan took a step and arrived within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

As a disciple, it was not good for him to refuse.

"Enough, I should go back and take a look! I wonder if those old friends are still here?"

Among the three thousand Fortune Cultivators, even middle-aged and young cultivators with poor talent were extremely rare.

"Big Sister, I am coming back. Are you well?"

Instead, he shifted his mind.

Among the majority of cultivators with nearly exhausted lifespans who were willing to become Fortune Cultivators.

First, because they feared death.

Second, they wanted to do their last bit of service for Dongxuan City and for Ye Qingxuan.

Originally, they held no hope in their hearts.

They just did not expect.

After coming to this Cave Heaven and formally becoming Fortune Cultivators.

Their City Lord would give them such a huge surprise.

Not only did the benefits they received not decrease, but the originally stated restrictions on Fortune Cultivators were greatly reduced.

They could even exchange points obtained from planting spirit herbs for permission to temporarily leave the Fortune Land.

This caused the three thousand cultivators to...

Those who had originally lost hope and fallen into dead silence...

... ekindled the light of hope.

It was precisely because of this hope...

... hat over these nearly hundred years...

... he three thousand blessed cultivators within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven lived very fulfilling lives.

Every day, they were either cultivating or tending to the spiritual herbs within their blessed lands.

Over these years...

... ithin their respective blessed lands under their jurisdiction, harvests of spiritual herbs had come in wave after wave.

These spiritual herbs...

... ere all exchanged for contribution points and merit points by the various blessed cultivators through the Boundary Stele platform.

All for the purpose of waiting for this day to arrive.

And after Ye Qingxuan acquired these spiritual herbs...

... e handed them over to the various major cities, including Dongxuan City.

He instructed the alchemists cultivated under his command over these years...

... o refine all these low-grade spiritual herbs into their respective elixirs.

These elixirs were then sold in shops within the various major cities.

Not long after Ye Qingxuan issued the announcement...

... mong the three thousand blessed cultivators...

... any had already arrived before the Boundary Steles erected at the centers of their respective blessed lands.

They were preparing to exchange for temporary permission to leave their blessed lands.

Having stayed within the blessed lands for nearly a hundred years...

... hey could finally go out for a while.

Naturally, they could not bear the loneliness and wanted to go out to see the world, and also meet their old friends from back then.

However...

... ow they were somewhat conflicted: exactly how many days should they exchange for?

According to what was written on the Boundary Stele...

... f they failed to return to their respective blessed lands within the stipulated time...

... hey would suffer a backlash from the blessed land.

In minor cases, their cultivation base would be ruined; in severe cases, they would die and their Dao would vanish.

Therefore, when exchanging for temporary permission to leave, they were extremely cautious.

Moreover...

... lthough they had accumulated quite a few merit points over these years...

... he merit points required to exchange for temporary permission to leave were also substantial.

Even for a First-Rank blessed cultivator...

... ithin the same year, exchanging for the first day required one thousand merit points, while exchanging for the second day doubled the cost, requiring two thousand merit points.

Within a year, the more days exchanged, the more exaggerated the merit point consumption became.

With their accumulation over nearly a hundred years...

... hey still dared not exchange for too many days of temporary permission to leave within the same year.

Finally, after some hesitation...

... any blessed cultivators exchanged for three to seven days of temporary permission to leave.

One day was too few; three days was just right.

Anything beyond three days belonged to those who were wealthy and bold, treating merit points as nothing.

The main stele of the Boundary Steles refined by the three thousand blessed cultivators had long been integrated by Ye Qingxuan into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Within the rules of the Boundary Steles, Ye Qingxuan had also set up corresponding Cave Heaven permissions.

So after these blessed cultivators exchanged merit points for temporary permission to leave...

... he rules of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven instantly descended, directly suppressing the blessed lands of the various blessed cultivators.

This temporarily severed the connection between the various blessed cultivators and their respective blessed lands.

Sensing the change in the temporary permission to leave...

... any blessed cultivators' faces lit up with joy, and they began to cautiously attempt to leave their respective blessed lands.

After all, this was the first time they were exchanging for temporary permission to leave.

Their hearts were also somewhat uneasy.

One is never afraid of ten thousand possibilities, but only of the one in ten thousand; what if it failed?

Fortunately, this situation did not occur; they successfully left their blessed lands as wished.

They arrived in the world of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

For a moment...

... n the plains, valleys, waters, and mountain ranges of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven...

... any figures appeared one by one.
