Chapter 231: Great Strength, Pig Flying

In the dead of night, the newly built Xuanwei Six City in the northwest of the domain had already begun to sleep, and there were only a few lights in the city.

A new camp had been added at the edge of the city, where the newly arrived Cui family disciples lived. It was already very late at night, but the big tent in the center of the camp was still lit.

Little Wei Yuan lifted the tent curtain and walked in, seeing Cui Yu writing furiously at the desk, with a high stack of books placed beside him.

"Still not resting?" Little Wei Yuan came to the desk and picked up a book to flip through.

This book was a detailed roster of Cui family disciples, not only recording their origins and relatives, but also their bone structure and Qi Luck test results, cultivation experience, and even their life's major and minor deeds; the record was so detailed that even a death-row prisoner about to be executed wouldn't be more than this.

Cui Yu rubbed his face and said: "Training starts

"Senior Brother is still the most thoughtful." Little Wei Yuan handed over a piece of jade paper and said, "I just obtained a Body Forging technique from Yu Zhizhuo at the Heavenly Craft Hall. The Dao Foundation formed is a ball of common fire. Yu Zhizhuo said the benefit of this technique is that it is particularly easy to cultivate, the threshold is extremely low, and the difficulty of forming the Dao Foundation is the lowest among all the Body Forging techniques he has seen."

Cui Yu subconsciously said, "What's the use of a wisp of common fire? Burning a furnace to smelt iron?"

Once the words were out, he let out an "eh" and looked up at Little Wei Yuan.

Little Wei Yuan's expression remained as usual, and he said, "For this batch of cultivators preparing to form their Dao Foundation, as long as their physical natural talent does not conflict with the fire element, I plan to have them all switch to practicing this technique. This way, there might be a few more people who can form a Dao Foundation."

"The Dao Foundation is common fire; it's easy to form, but it's hard to solidify. Without ten or eight years..." Cui Yu was halfway through speaking when he understood; this common fire Dao Foundation was most suitable for burning furnaces and controlling fire, so a longer solidification period was not a bad thing.

Cui Yu flicked the jade paper of the technique and asked, "What do you mean by giving me this technique? You wouldn't be asking the Cui family to burn furnaces for you, would you? Let me tell you, that's impossible! No matter how much of a waste they are, they are still surnamed Cui after all."

"If they are allowed to switch to this technique and then roll around on the battlefield twice, the possibility of forming a Dao Foundation will be much higher."

"That makes sense too." Cui Yu began to ponder.

"Have the casualty indicators come down yet?" Little Wei Yuan reminded him.

Cui Yu only then remembered this matter and hurriedly searched through the mountain of paper on the table. Finally, he managed to find a sealed envelope, opened it in front of Little Wei Yuan, and after reading it, handed it to Little Wei Yuan, saying, "Take a look."

The letter only listed the names of two people; apart from these two, the others were responsible for their own lives and deaths, leaving Little Wei Yuan to act as he pleased.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Little Wei Yuan's expression changed: "As long as three Dao Foundations can be produced, it doesn't matter how many die?"

Cui Yu nodded: "Yes. This batch of people is not as precious as you think, and the Ancestor's determination is also very great."

"Aren't there direct descendants among these people? There are even those from the eldest branch of the direct line."

"There is only one from the eldest branch of the direct line, and he has already been listed. I estimate the other guy's family spent a lot of money and pulled strings. Actually, many Cui family members are worthless. It's easy for a large family to branch out; just like my father, who is already very self-restrained and doesn't let the immortal sect bloodline spread easily, even so, I still have three brothers and seven sisters. For the local branches of the Cui family, it's very normal to give birth to dozens or hundreds. Every family concentrates resources to support those with talent; as for the others, they are left to fend for themselves, as long as they don't starve to death. Sometimes the family will also start a 'gu-raising' mode; for example, those sent to us are all like this."

Little Wei Yuan looked at the letter in his hand and frowned: "Is it really okay to disregard casualties?"

"Oh, by the way, three people came to find me last night. The price they gave was okay, so I already promised them they wouldn't die, but I didn't guarantee they could form a Dao Foundation. There were a few others who didn't have much money but still wanted to save their lives, and I turned them all away."

"Fine, pull those five people out to form a separate team, and mix the rest with the other Body Forging cultivators. They will all go to the battlefield when the time comes. Who can survive depends on their own fate."

Cui Yu added another meaningful sentence: "The Ancestor doesn't care about consumption, only the result. As long as you give her the result she wants, it doesn't matter if everyone else dies."

Little Wei Yuan nodded: "Rest assured, there will be results."

"That kid from the eldest branch of the direct line, it's best if you can also let him form a Dao Foundation; you can charge extra for that."

Little Wei Yuan nodded: "Have him come see me tomorrow, I'll try."

Before leaving the camp, Little Wei Yuan couldn't help but ask: "These people are all surnamed Cui, how can you bear to raise them like 'gu'?"

Cui Yu said: "Everyone wants talented descendants, so they can only give birth to more. When you have dozens of children, except for the one or two who are the most outstanding and likable, the others are about the same as strangers, or even worse than strangers. At least strangers won't eat your food and drink your drink, and won't use your name to mess around outside and ruin your reputation. Moreover, sons give birth to grandsons, and grandsons give birth to great-grandsons; in a hundred years, a family of dozens can become tens of thousands of people. No one can afford to support so many freeloaders."

"So our Cui family sets up death squads, establishes tribal armies, opens trials, and even conducts external conquests, all of which can incidentally reduce these freeloaders."

At dawn, a person walked into the gate of the residence Little Wei Yuan had set up at the edge of the city. This person was the one who had made Little Wei Yuan come over to pay respects when they got off the flying boat, and then immediately became obsequious after seeing Cui Yu. At this moment, in front of Little Wei Yuan, he showed his arrogance again. Little Wei Yuan ignored his attitude, asked some routine questions about cultivation, and then said indifferently: "Your family has already paid money to ensure you don't die. I can also ensure you form a Dao Foundation, but you have to pay extra."

The man almost jumped up, his face full of surprise, and said: "Can you really form a Dao Foundation? I'll pay! No matter how much money, I'll pay!"

Little Wei Yuan said: "Two thousand immortal silver."

Little Wei Yuan had thought deeply about this price. In the Tai Chu Palace's merit system, a common Dao Foundation was set at one hundred merit points, which could be exchanged for one thousand immortal silver. Little Wei Yuan doubled it on this basis.

The young dandy gritted his teeth, pulled a piece of spiritual jade the size of a finger from his belt, slapped it in front of Little Wei Yuan, and said heroically: "Only more, not less!"

"Follow me." Little Wei Yuan put away the spiritual jade, took the man out, and flew straight to Xu Wenwu's residence.

When they landed, Little Wei Yuan realized his face was pale and he was shaking like chaff, but a sweep of his spiritual sense showed no illness, so he asked: "What's wrong with you?"

"Flying too fast, I... can't take it."

Little Wei Yuan complained in his heart that this guy was still a weakling.

At this time, Xu Wenwu had finished washing and was preparing to go out to have a heart-to-heart with the Heavenly Star Dragon Kui. Little Wei Yuan placed the young man surnamed Cui in front of Xu Wenwu and said: "From today on, he will eat and sleep with you; whatever you do, he will do. You can also distribute your original work to him."

!.

Xu Wenwu was happy, "I have a follower too? But this guy looks a bit weak."

The young dandy was furious, but he couldn't even stand steadily now and couldn't talk back.

Little Wei Yuan patted the young dandy's shoulder and said: "Work hard; the more work you do, the sooner you will form a Dao Foundation. If you are lazy and slippery, you might not succeed in a year."

While patting his shoulder, Little Wei Yuan quietly sent a wisp of azure energy into him.

This person would eat and sleep with Xu Wenwu, and could digest a wisp of azure energy in at most two days. With three wisps of azure energy, even a sow could turn into a demonic beast; if he still couldn't form a Dao Foundation, what kind of waste would he be?

As for selling a Dao Foundation for two thousand immortal silver, Little Wei Yuan had also thought about this price carefully. Although it could be sold for more, the number of people who could afford it would decrease significantly, and the income would instead become lower. Someone in Tai Chu Palace had already calculated this specifically and even published several relevant Dao books, which many people exchanged for.

Don't look at these people as all surnamed Cui; most of them were not wealthy, and some branches were even born of concubines, unable to scrape together even two taels of immortal silver from their entire bodies. The gatekeepers of wealthy families were richer than them.

The sky was bright, and Little Wei Yuan came to the drill ground. Thousands of cultivators were already standing on the large drill ground, all of whom had completed Body Forging, with a small number still cultivating their Primordial Spirit. The hundred or so newly arrived Cui family members were also among them.

At this time, the cultivators had already lined up, holding specially made knives and shields, with thick steel pipe guns hanging from their waists. After Little Wei Yuan arrived, several Dao Foundation cultivators in the field began to shout commands. Following the command numbers, all the cultivators repeated three simple actions: firing the gun, charging forward with the shield, and swinging the knife, then repeating the cycle.

After practicing like this for about a quarter of an hour, a bell rang in the drill ground, the training cultivators began to count down, and then the "Instant of Shacha Shacha Zhongsheng" was activated!

In an instant, countless heaven and earth spiritual energy poured into the drill ground, light began to shimmer on every cultivator, and one Dao Foundation after another was rapidly taking shape. All the cultivators sat cross-legged, experiencing the feeling of having a Dao Foundation in their bodies.

Now there was a procedure for training Body Forging cultivators within the domain; the daily training would activate the "Instant of Shacha Shacha Zhongsheng" three times. The first time, the cultivators would sit in meditation to cultivate and experience the Dao Foundation, and the next two times would be to train for combat after the Dao Foundation was added to their bodies.

The Cui family members were initially a bit lazy, paying lip service but not really willing to obey. After the "Instant of Shacha Shacha Zhongsheng" descended on them once, everyone became honest and began to train seriously.

Little Wei Yuan watched coldly from the side. In fact, these Cui family descendants had never known hunger since childhood, and their bloodlines and physical fitness were still okay. If they trained seriously and spent some luck, they might be able to train more than thirty Dao Foundations.

But of course, it was impossible for Little Wei Yuan to really produce thirty Dao Foundations for the Cui family; that would make them worthless. Little Wei Yuan planned to hand over six or seven to the Cui family in the first phase. Then it didn't matter if those who didn't form a Dao Foundation continued to participate in the second phase. Of course, the second phase class would require additional fees.

It could be opened phase by phase like this; if they still hadn't formed a Dao Foundation after three consecutive phases, then it wasn't something Little Wei Yuan could save.

But if the financiers were rich and willful, insisting on throwing money at it, it wasn't impossible for Little Wei Yuan to be flexible. In Azure Void, as long as the immortal silver was in place, not only could a sow climb a tree, but it could also do backflips and go to heaven; there was no reason a person couldn't form a Dao Foundation.

At this thought, Little Wei Yuan suddenly had a dangerous idea: if his cat suddenly learned to do a backflip, who should he bring to see it?

As for the consumption, it depended on fate.

Little Wei Yuan looked to the northwest; last night, a large Shaman army moved in, and at the same time, a large number of Shaman civilians and slaves appeared to serve as laborers. A great battle was imminent, and that was the best baptism for these Cui family people.
