Chapter 157: Heavenly Wind Fairy City
"Seven-color eight-treasure chicken?"
It was the first time Fang Chen heard this name and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Hey, City Lord, this is the spiritual food that the five of us have just made together. Let me keep it a secret for now."
Liu Sandao showed an honest smile and did not answer Fang Chen's question.
"Well then, I'll leave today's lunch banquet to you."
Fang Chen had no intention of ruining the surprise and did not force them to explain clearly.
"Just leave it to us."
Liu Sandao patted his chest, and the people behind him also had confident expressions on their faces.
At Fang Chen's signal, Han Zhaoxian led the group to the kitchen, asked the five spiritual chefs to start working, and then took the remaining three to the reception room.
Then Han Zhao left.
The Yueshen Market has become increasingly busy recently, and his work has increased as well. Moreover, his rank is clearly not high enough to receive a distinguished guest like Ye Qingyang.
Even Zhao Qian was not in the reception room.
All they had to do was attend the luncheon.
"City Lord, you are here."
Seeing the three people coming in, Lin Qingshan immediately stood up to greet them, and then introduced Ye Qingyang who was sitting in the guest seat: "You are also very familiar with our city lord. This is Xu Qiyun, another deputy city lord of Yuehua Fairy City. As for this one..."
When it came to introducing Zheng Pingkang, Lin Qingshan was also in a dilemma.
He really didn't know this person.
Although his face looked somewhat familiar, I felt as if I had seen him somewhere before.
"It's me, Zheng Pingkang. This is the body that the city lord specially built for me."
Whenever Zheng Pingkang introduced himself, he always mentioned Fang Chen.
"I see. I was saying that this body looked somewhat like the city lord. I thought I was seeing things."
Lin Qingshan did not ask about the details and directly accepted this setting.
"Ah? Like me? Not like Sun Han?"
After hearing what he said, Fang Chen was stunned for a moment and stared at Zheng Pingkang's face for a while.
You know what, he really looks a bit like him.
"Sun Han? Wait, don't tell me, these eyes do look somewhat similar."
After hearing what Fang Chen said, Lin Qingshan also looked at Zheng Pingkang carefully, and indeed there was a bit of Sun Han's shadow in him.
"Why is this happening?"
Fang Chen's face was full of confusion. Not only him, but everyone at the scene, including Ye Qingyang who had just stood up, was very interested in this.
"City Lord, although this body is made with Sun Han's flesh and blood as the basis, it is also infused with your blood and energy, so it shows the characteristics of both of you."
Zheng Pingkang knew a little about this, so he began to explain.
"That's not surprising. Okay, let's stop standing and sit down to talk about anything."
Fang Chen thought about it and realized that the Qi and blood used to catalyze the growth of this piece of flesh and blood into a new body was indeed transformed within his body.
Nature also carries a strong scent that belongs to him.
This explanation is indeed reasonable.
After they sat down, Zheng Pingkang said to Fang Chen: "City Lord, I suggest that when you build your body in the future, you should use your own flesh and blood as much as possible. This way, the blood and qi will be more compatible with the body, and the body you build will be stronger."
"Alright."
Fang Chen nodded, accepting the suggestion.
Every ghost king's body is a bit like him, and he can accept that.
But if every ghost king's body looks like him and a little like another person, it would indeed feel a bit strange.
Therefore, after Lin Qingshan pointed out that Zheng Pingkang now looked a bit like him, he felt awkward no matter how he looked at him.
"City Lord, when my cultivation level is raised, I will be able to control the blood yin power more proficiently, and then I will be able to return to my original appearance."
Zheng Pingkang noticed Fang Chen's eyes, and putting himself in the other person's shoes, he could understand the other person's feelings, so he said this.
I'm not lying, it's something that can actually be done.
"Being able to return to my original appearance is like being reborn into this world."
Fang Chen knew that he was giving himself a way out, so he followed Zheng Pingkang's words and started a new topic: "Speaking of which, Old Ye, after I went back yesterday, there was something I couldn't figure out. You just raised your hand and gave me 100,000 spirit stones. Tianfeng Sect should not be short of foundation-building pills, right? How come there is no foundation-building cultivator?"
The general price of the Foundation Establishment Pill is around 10,000 spirit stones, and no more than 20,000 spirit stones at most.
Ye Qingyang could easily take out 100,000 spirit stones as a token of thanks, which showed that the Tianfeng Sect’s wealth was far more than that.
If there are enough foundation-building pills, building the foundation will be a piece of cake and it will not be a problem at all.
After all, the Tianfeng Sect is a large sect with cultivators who have reached the perfect foundation-building stage. Ye Qingyang himself has not suffered any injuries. How could it be that they cannot train a cultivator who has reached the perfect foundation-building stage to be their successor?
"Alas, I am ashamed to say that these 100,000 spirit stones were obtained from Sun Han. As for the Tianfeng Sect, it is indeed penniless."
Thanks to the Blood Bone Spirit Fruit provided by Fang Chen, Ye Qingyang's brain has been fully restored.
When I talk about this, I can't help but blush.
After all, most of the Tianfeng Sect’s savings were squandered by him.
Don’t be fooled by the stories about his deeds that are spread outside, such as making breakthroughs in the face of battle, turning the tide, saving the country from collapse, and expanding the territory of Feng State.
But in fact, what he took from Tianfengmen was far more than what he contributed to it.
Otherwise, he would not have reached the state of perfect foundation building in such a short time.
When he learned that his Niwan Palace was damaged, the first thing he thought of was not to train a successor for Tianfeng Sect, but to use Tianfeng Sect to collect resources and find a way to heal himself.
This is actually a very normal idea. If his stubborn illness can be cured, he can definitely open up the Purple Mansion smoothly, and even condensing the Golden Elixir is not impossible.
As long as his cultivation level is improved, will Tianfeng Sect still worry about resources?
Absolutely not.
In the world of cultivation, strength is respected. Once he succeeds in opening up the Purple Mansion, the Tianfeng Sect will rise immediately, and the resources consumed before will be earned back a hundred or even a thousand times.
There is no suspense.
But the problem is that he failed.
So everything became empty.
It also almost caused the Tianfeng Sect’s inheritance to be cut off.
It was for this reason that before he died, he wanted to use false news to lure out his old enemy, even if it meant exchanging his life for his own, to stop him from slaughtering the disciples of Tianfeng Sect.
It's a way to pay for my sins.
"So that's the case, but the Niwan Palace is deep inside the human body, how could it be easily damaged?"
After learning the whole story, no one knew what to say, so Fang Chen started a new topic.
In fact, in his opinion, although improving Ye Qingyang's cultivation is more important than anything else, it is also entirely possible to train a foundation-building cultivator to be prepared for any eventuality.
Of course, he could also guess what Ye Qingyang was thinking.
Once someone successfully builds a foundation, even if his cultivation is not as good as his, he will take away some of his voice in the Tianfeng Sect.
As a result, the entire Tianfeng Sect would not be able to devote all their efforts to searching for a way to heal his Niwan Palace.
Ye Qingyang did not explain this point clearly, but anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
But there were no fools among the people present, so naturally no one would point it out.
"Don't even mention you. Even I want to know the answer to this question. Back then, I successfully completed the foundation building process. I was so proud of myself that I wanted to open up the Purple Palace, but I found that my Niwan Palace was damaged..."
Ye Qingyang sighed. He was also curious about this question. To say that this was innate was not right.
To break through the foundation-building stage, he needed to concentrate his spiritual consciousness. If his Niwan Palace was born damaged, it would be impossible for him to successfully build the foundation.
The breakthrough to the perfect foundation building was the most glorious moment in his life, but then he suffered this bolt from the blue.
"Let's not talk about the past anymore, Fellow Daoist Zheng. When I saw you yesterday, you were still in the middle stage of Ghost General. How come your aura is only at the fifth level of Spirit Ghost now?"
Ye Qingyang didn't know the secret art of gathering souls, so he was very confused about Zheng Pingkang's reduced cultivation level and asked.
"Yesterday I used my natural ability as a ghost king, and I haven't recovered yet."
What Zheng Pingkang said was indeed the truth. He was called out by Fang Chen while he was recuperating, but he also got the field he had always dreamed of, which was definitely not a loss.
"Okay, let's stop here with the pleasantries. Next, let's talk about the issues concerning the Wind Country."
Fang Chen clapped his hands, ended the casual chat he had started, and got down to business.
About the construction of Fengguo.
Yesterday, Ye Qingyang was busy appeasing the disciples of Tianfeng Sect, so the affairs of Feng Kingdom were not discussed in detail, and could not be discussed.
After all, Xu Qiyun was not there at that time.
It's agreed that all of this will be finalized today.
"The Feng Kingdom has a radius of 500 miles, with 32 large cities, 48 small cities, 108 large towns, 360 small towns, 570 large villages, and no small villages have been counted..."
Xu Qiyun had already investigated the situation in Feng Country in advance and talked about it freely.
The so-called big cities, big towns, and big villages refer to the territories of the immortal cultivation families.
As mentioned before, the ruling strategies of the two major immortal sects, Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect, are that a family of immortal cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training can occupy a village, a family of immortal cultivators in the late stage can occupy a town, and a family of immortal cultivators in the great perfection can occupy a city.
A sect or family in the foundation-building stage can own a country.
Therefore, this paragraph mainly introduces the distribution of Feng Kingdom's immortal cultivation families.
Every immortal cultivation family has to pay tribute to the Tianfeng Sect every year, which can be spirit stones or other items of equal value.
The offering for a big city is 100 spirit stones, for a big town it is 50 spirit stones, and for a big village it is 10 spirit stones.
All in all, the Tianfeng Sect could collect 14,300 spirit stones from offerings in a year.
However, the Tianfeng Sect is also affiliated with the Wuji Sect of the Purple Mansion Sect and has to pay an annual tribute of 10,000 spirit stones.
Therefore, the income from offerings is 4,300 spirit stones per year.
For a foundation-building sect, it is not much.
There is no way. Feng Country does not have any special resources, and it does not even have many spiritual veins. Among the thirty-two major cities, there are only six cities with spiritual veins.
Even the Tianfeng Sect itself only has one second-grade mid-quality spiritual vein.
"There are two cooperation plans for Yuehua Immortal City. One is that the existing big cities, towns and villages will still be under the jurisdiction of Tianfeng Sect, but other places will be assigned to Yuehua Immortal City, and Tianfeng Sect will not be allowed to interfere."
After introducing the situation of Feng Kingdom, Xu Qiyun put forward the conditions of Yuehua Fairy City.
"What about the second option?"
In fact, after Xu Qiyun proposed this plan, Ye Qingyang wanted to agree to it directly.
In his opinion, the most valuable things in Feng Country are the immortal cultivation families. He doesn't understand why Yuehua Immortal City needs so many useless mortals.
When he arrived at the Moon Goddess Market, he discovered that Fang Chen had actually made everyone embark on the path of immortality.
This made him even more confused.
It is true that Qi-cultivating monks can make spiritual plants grow on ordinary land, but that is when there is enough spiritual energy.
Where can I find so much spiritual energy?
It was not until I entered Xianju that all my doubts were resolved.
He did not sense any spiritual veins in the immortal residence, but the spiritual energy there was abnormally dense, even stronger than the second-level intermediate spiritual veins of the Tianfeng Sect.
It is obvious that Yuehua Fairy City has mastered some method of obtaining spiritual energy.
Therefore, he also wanted to have in-depth cooperation with Yuehua Fairy City, so he asked this question.
"The second option is that the Tianfeng Sect will be completely disbanded, and the Tianfeng Sect will unconditionally open its inheritance to Yuehua Immortal City. Correspondingly, all the inheritances of Yuehua Immortal City will also be unconditionally open to the Tianfeng Sect. What do you think, Senior?"
Xu Qiyun also put forward the second plan with a smile on his face.
"Completely disbanded? Does that mean Tianfeng Sect will no longer exist?"
Ye Qingyang frowned. If that was the case, then he could only accept option one.
"Of course not. The purpose of disbanding the Tianfeng Sect is to establish the Tianfeng Immortal City."
Fang Chen explained to Ye Qingyang at the right time.
"Heavenly Wind Fairy City?"
Ye Qingyang's brows relaxed, but he was not quite clear about the specific meaning of this change.
So Zheng Pingkang spoke up and gave Ye Qingyang a brief introduction about the Emperor's son and the Immortal Dynasty.
"In other words, Tianfeng Immortal City and Yuehua Immortal City are completely equal, and both belong to the Immortal Dynasty that is about to be established?"
Ye Qingyang did not doubt Fang Chen's identity. Anyway, he swore with his Taoist heart that he would be loyal to Fang Chen for a hundred years, so it didn't matter what the other party's identity was.
What's more, some of the methods demonstrated by Fang Chen were indeed far beyond his knowledge.
Ye Qingyang would not completely believe that he was the reincarnation of the emperor of the Immortal Dynasty ten thousand years ago, but he would not completely overturn it either.
He would rather believe that Fang Chen accidentally obtained some inheritance from the Immortal Dynasty ten thousand years ago, and then claimed to be the reincarnation of the emperor's son.
"That's right, the Immortal Dynasty will be rebuilt step by step. If Tianfengmen is willing, it can become the second Immortal City of the New Immortal Dynasty."
Xu Qiyun nodded and answered Ye Qingyang's question.
"If Tianfeng Fairy City is established, what benefits will it bring to Tianfeng Sect?"
Ye Qingyang asked another key question. He didn’t care whether Fang Chen’s identity was true or false. He only cared about what Tianfengmen could get.
"Endless spiritual energy."
Fang Chen replied in a very calm tone.
It's not bragging, he can create moonlight plants at will. A moonlight spirit tree is equivalent to a first-grade low-grade spirit vein.
Hundreds of Moonlight Spiritual Trees planted together can even be compared to a third-order spiritual vein.
For the Tianfeng Sect, which is currently only a foundation-building sect, and especially has only Ye Qingyang as a foundation-building cultivator, the spiritual energy provided can indeed be said to be endless.
There was silence in the reception room for a long time. Finally, Ye Qingyang nodded and said, "I choose option 2."
For monks, the output of any resources depends on spiritual energy.
Endless spiritual energy must be nonsense, Ye Qingyang is very clear about this, but even if the spiritual energy concentration of Tianfengmen can reach the level of Xianju in Yueshenfang City, it can make Tianfengmen usher in a leap forward.
This is indeed a worthwhile deal.
Although completely opening up the inheritance of Tianfeng Sect is indeed contrary to tradition.
But in the same way, the inheritance of the Immortal Dynasty will also be open to the Tianfeng Sect.
On this point, Tianfengmen is not at a disadvantage.
Of course, after learning how much inheritance Yuehua Fairy City had, Ye Qingyang almost shed tears.
I hate myself for taking things for granted.
Anyway, seeing him nod, the other four people in the living room smiled at each other.
I have to go to the company headquarters for a meeting these two days, and the journey will be quite hectic. I also need to prepare a lot of materials, so I can only update a single chapter of 4,000 words every day. This way it is more convenient for me to type. It will probably continue until next Monday, so I hope you will support me.
