Chapter 530: Hundred Thousand Miles of Sea
Chen Jiu had been busy in Shendu City for five or six days before arriving at Beihai City. He originally thought that Patriarch Xuanming would be eager to go on the expedition, but in the end, Patriarch Xuanming was listless and said nothing.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master Diao, what happened to you? Were you beaten by those ancestors in the ghost realm?"
Patriarch Xuanming shook his head slightly and sighed, "Alas, I would like them to come and beat me up, but the problem is that they can't even find their shadows. I sent out Tianzun and the Bat God Puppet to explore the north for nearly 100,000 miles. At the beginning, I could still see a few ghosts, but in the end, after the Bat God Puppet flew over once, there was no ghost at all."
Do these guys want to hide or lure the enemy deeper?
Chen Jiu heard this, thought about it carefully, then raised his hand and said: "Show me the map."
Patriarch Xuanming immediately took out a revised map of the North Sea.
This map has extended to nearly 100,000 miles north of Beihai City. This sea area is two or three times larger than Beijuluzhou. There are quite a few islands on it, but they only have marks of spiritual energy and spiritual fields. There is no mark of any forces.
Chen Jiu looked at it carefully, and then said decisively: "No matter what they want to do, we will do it our own way. A hundred thousand miles of buffer is enough. Shebi Corpse Ancestor should not be able to develop for a while, so we just have to waste time with them."
Hearing this, Xuan Ming Patriarch couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master Jiu, what's the point of just wasting time like this?"
Chen Jiu explained in detail: "Just wasting time like this means that we will no longer risk exploring northward. This 100,000-mile sea area is enough as a buffer. We can just send the Bat God Puppet to patrol and guard this sea area."
This is an area of over 100,000 miles!
Xuan Ming Patriarch said helplessly: "Master Jiu, it takes more than ten days for the Bat God Puppet to fly a hundred thousand miles. It takes a month to go back and forth. How can we patrol and guard?"
This is a problem. The Bat God Puppet cannot fly over and fly back immediately, so it is not called patrol and alert. And each ancestor only has one month to rotate. They basically come here to release the Bat God Puppet, and then let the Bat God Puppet fly about 100,000 miles to the north to take a look before they have to call it a day and change guard.
Chen Jiu stared at the map and pondered for a while, then said decisively: "Then we will select ten large islands about 50,000 miles in the middle, build ten cities, and evenly arrange them in a row. When the time comes, I will send 100,000 guards to garrison in the cities. Every time you come, you can just flash to the ten cities and divide the ten Tianzuns and their 200,000 troops and 100,000 bat god puppets.
In this way, the Bat God Puppet can fly to the north to patrol and guard within a range of 50,000 to 100,000 miles.
My God, building a row of cities fifty thousand miles away from Uttarakuru!
Xuan Ming Patriarch could not help but be surprised and said: "What if the enemy suddenly attacks us? I'm afraid we won't be able to defend ourselves!"
Chen Jiu pondered and said, "This is easy. Let's build a bigger city in the middle. If the enemy attacks, you can just order your subordinates to bring all the troops from other cities and rush to the big city in the middle.
By then, there will be 400,000 troops in that big city. Even if the four ancestors of the Ghost Realm fight desperately, it will be difficult to take it down in a short period of time. You have enough time to go to Beihai City to pick up the 24th Battalion of the God Realm Legion to deal with them."
This is a good idea.
The Xuanming Patriarch nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, let's call that big city Xuanming City."
Chen Jiu was puzzled and asked: "Why?"
The Xuanming Patriarch smiled slyly and said, "Because the two big cities in the southwest of the ghost domain, Ghost Lord and Snake Lord, took advantage of the early arrival and occupied Beiming City and Xuanyin City. It makes me feel like I am visiting their homes every time I go to change guards. I have to let them visit my home as well."
You guys are really boring.
Chen Jiu nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, let's call it Xuanming City, okay."
Upon hearing this, Xuanming Patriarch said excitedly: "Why don't we go build Xuanming City now?"
That's still early.
Chen Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "I can't mobilize 100,000 guards for the time being, and we haven't explored these islands carefully yet. We have to choose ten islands with many spiritual fields, immortal palaces, divine kingdoms, and space entrances."
Is it that troublesome?
Xuan Ming Patriarch was a little disappointed and asked, "When are you going to build the city?"
Chen Jiu estimated: "It will take at least two months. I have to build the teleportation array from the God Capital to the Jiuling Mountain in the mortal world first."
Xuan Ming Patriarch couldn't help but sigh repeatedly and said, "Then I have nothing to do, right?"
You just want to make some elixirs and magic pills? That's easy.
Chen Jiu smiled and said, "How can we have nothing to do? We are going to hunt monsters. We must clear all the monsters near the ten selected islands. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous for the guards I sent to garrison there."
Yes, you can also hunt monsters. Hunting monsters gives you meat to eat and you can earn money by getting elixirs and monster blood crystals.
Xuanming Patriarch nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you to hunt monsters."
Chen Jiu smiled slightly, then called Yuyi Tianzun and others out, and called Yunxia Beast and the twenty-four battalion generals stationed here over and gave them detailed instructions. He also gave Yunxia Beast 100,000 bottles of Blood Soul Pills, and then set off with the twenty-four battalion soldiers.
This time they were not only hunting monsters. Every time the soldiers of the Twelve Battalions went to lure the monsters, they would flash to the nearby islands to investigate carefully to see how rich the spiritual energy was, how many spiritual fields there were, and how many immortal palaces, divine kingdoms and space entrances were left behind.
They traveled about 50,000 miles north of Beihai City for half a month, hunting nearly 20,000 monsters, and then returned to Shendu City with satisfaction.
At this moment, the Wood Immortal Palace and Divine Kingdom in Divine Capital City have been cracked by the Wood Priest Cai Fu and his men. Most of those with spiritual roots in Divine Capital City have been invited to work in the Wood Immortal Palace and Divine Kingdom.
Although the amount of elixirs they earned was not much, it was enough to cover their expenses. Although there had been no harvest yet from the crops, fruits, vegetables, poultry and livestock grown in the Kingdom of God, they saw hope for a harvest in the future. The entire capital city of God was filled with joy and everyone was extremely happy.
As soon as Chen Jiu and his friends came back, everyone in Jiuling Mountain was extremely happy.
The methods of cracking the Wood Immortal Palace and the Kingdom of God have been taught, and the next step is the method of cracking the Demonic Power Space.
Chen Jiu had already ordered Prime Minister Chen Lang to print and distribute the twelve combinations of the Way of Qi and Blood and the Way of Space. Most of the tens of thousands of demon gods had also listened to the lectures on the twelve combinations of the Way of Wood and the Way of Space.
Although they didn't understand much, they had a certain understanding of cracking the entrance to the fairy palace, divine kingdom and space. In addition, Chen Jiu's rewards were often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of bottles of immortal pills, so these tens of thousands of demon gods listened very seriously.
Originally Chen Jiu thought that the demon gods would be much slower in teaching than the true gods. Who would have known that these tens of thousands of demon gods could basically comprehend a combination of the way of qi and blood and the way of space in just three days. Their progress was much faster than that of the tens of thousands of wood true gods.
At this rate, he would be able to finish teaching the twelve combinations of the Way of Qi and Blood and the Way of Space in about thirty days. By then, most of the immortal palaces, divine kingdoms and space entrances in Northern Juluzhou would be opened quickly.
Unfortunately, he couldn't continue lecturing.
In the blink of an eye, I have to go to Aokibo City again.
He had to go, because at that time they could not be self-sufficient in elixirs, so he had to exchange them with others. More importantly, he had to exchange them for teleportation array plates to build a teleportation channel from the capital of gods to the Jiuling Mountain in the mortal world.
At this moment, the transmission channel has been laid to the city on the coastal island in the northern part of Qingmu Shenzhou. The next step is to pass through Qingmu Shenzhou and lay it to the mortal world, so he naturally has to go.
Not only did he have to go, he also had to bring tens of thousands of earth immortals who specialized in building cities.
In Qingmufang City, in the sea of clouds above the auction hall, Patriarch Qingmu seemed to be practicing, or as if he was thinking of something happy, a smile appeared inadvertently at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Jiu flashed over to take a look and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ancestor, are you thinking of something happy?"
Patriarch Qingmu smiled slightly and said, "No, no, I saw Little Fox Li teaching those little tree demons how to practice martial arts. Those little tree demons are so clumsy that Little Fox Li is almost smoking. It's really interesting. Ah Jiu, come in and sit down."
Uh, well, you've got plenty of free time.
Chen Jiu walked into the pavilion and sat cross-legged, then he asked solemnly: "Ancestor, are the Moon God Pill and Monster Blood Crystal the same as last month?"
Patriarch Qingmu nodded without hesitation: "Yes, it's the same as last month."
Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still said bluntly: "Ancestor, actually, I have a good thing here that can make the little tree demons smarter, or in other words, make them practice martial arts faster."
Patriarch Qingmu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Oh, what is this thing? It has this effect?"
Chen Jiu explained: "In fact, it is an elixir that strengthens the blood, qi and soul. This thing is especially suitable for the demon race."
Hearing this, Patriarch Qingmu sighed and said, "In fact, I also know that if the little tree demon eats some immortal pills that can enhance the spirit and soul, his progress in practicing will definitely improve significantly. Unfortunately, I only have more than one million bottles of immortal pills that can enhance the spirit and soul. It is meaningless to give 10,000 or 20,000 bottles to each little tree demon who has become an immortal.
How many do you have? Don’t the demons and ghost cultivators under your command need them? Didn’t you exchange 10 million bottles of soul-strengthening elixirs from us in the beginning? Don’t you need them now?”
Chen Jiu said frankly, "I actually use a lot of it, but it seems that the tree monsters under the ancestor are not very good at practicing martial arts, so I want to give some to the ancestor. I can give you a lower price for this, but for now, I can only sell it this once. Starting next month, I will basically have no surplus."
Hearing this, Patriarch Qingmu couldn't help but wonder, "Can you still make the elixir cheaper? How much cheaper can you make it?"
Chen Jiu took out a peach and said solemnly: "Old Ancestor, try it first and see how effective it is. I will then tell you how much cheaper it will be."
peach?
Patriarch Qingmu scanned the area with his spiritual sense and suddenly realized, "This was made using the tree demon as a furnace. Was it made by Xiangxiang and the others?"
The old peach tree was named after the Hibiscus Fairy.
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, it was made by Xiangxiang and the others."
Patriarch Qingmu took the peach and broke it gently, and the peach broke into two halves. There were exactly six Blood Soul Pills in each half. She poured half the bottle directly into her mouth and then savored it carefully.
After a while, she was surprised and said, "I thought the elixir you mentioned for strengthening blood and spirit was half blood and half spirit, and each one only had the effect of half an elixir. I didn't expect that this one was actually equivalent to one elixir for strengthening blood and one elixir for strengthening spirit. This is indeed very suitable for the little tree demon. Ah Jiu, how much cheaper can you make? I'll take as many as you have."
Chen Jiu said helplessly: "I only have more than 10 million bottles left, Old Ancestor, I can only sell you 10 million bottles, the price is one million bottles of immortal pills."
Patriarch Qingmu couldn't help but said in surprise: "Ah Jiu, isn't this equivalent to giving it away for free? This bottle is at least equivalent to three bottles of elixir."
Isn't this just to return those 10 million bottles of elixirs that strengthen your soul?
Chen Jiu said bluntly: "Old Ancestor, you know that using the tree demon as a furnace can refine more at a time, so I can give you this at a lower price, but I can only sell it this time. I will basically use up as much as it is produced next month."
Patriarch Qingmu couldn't help but sighed and said, "What a pity, I can only give ten bottles to each little tree demon who has cultivated to become an immortal. It would be much better if I could give each of them a hundred bottles."
I have to give each soldier in the Divine Realm Legion a hundred bottles.
There is no way around this, after all, the soldiers of the God Realm Legion are the main force in the God Realm War, and these tree monsters under the command of Ancestor Qingmu are only used to guard Qingmu Shenzhou.
Chen Jiu simply said, "Grandmaster, I have laid out the teleportation array from the Divine Capital City to the northern edge of Qingmu Shenzhou. Next, I will build eighteen cities from the northernmost to the southernmost end of Qingmu Shenzhou, one every thousand miles or so. These cities can be handed over to your people to manage. Grandmaster, what scale do you think is appropriate for each city to be built?"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Qingmu pondered, "Since you are planning to build eighteen cities, can you build two more?"
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Of course there is no problem with this. Old Ancestor, where do you think we should build the remaining two cities?"
Patriarch Qingmu raised his hand and pointed around, saying, "Since you have to build one in the south and north anyway, why not build one in the east and west as well? Build them all to accommodate 100,000 people, and surround Qingmu Market in the middle to protect it. What do you think?"
That's a good idea indeed.
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, I can build an octagonal one for you. Old Ancestor, what about the other cities? How big will they be?"
Patriarch Qingmu said without hesitation: "I plan to put the main defense force around Qingmufang City. For other cities, a scale of 10,000 people will be enough. If it is larger, I don't have so many tree demon gods to garrison."
Okay, let’s prepare to build a city.
Chen Jiu said impatiently: "Ancestor, let's quickly exchange things. I can immediately arrange people to start building the city."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Qingmu took out the elixir, teleportation array and chariot without hesitation.
This time, she gave Chen Jiu a total of 25.1 million bottles of elixirs.
Chen Jiu collected the elixir, teleportation array and chariot without hesitation, and then took out the divine elixir, monster blood crystal and blood soul pill all at once.
This was the only time that Patriarch Qingmu did not lose money, because ten million bottles of Blood Soul Pills were worth thirty million bottles of ordinary immortal pills.
Chen Jiu just regarded it as a way of repaying her favor and accepted one million bottles of elixirs just as a token of his appreciation, which was equivalent to giving them away for free.
As soon as all things were exchanged, Chen Jiu could not wait to rush to the outskirts of Qingmufang City and summoned tens of thousands of earth immortals who specialized in building the city. He gave them detailed instructions, then kept half of them and scattered them around Qingmufang City, and took the other half into the Kingdom of God and scattered them evenly to the south and north.
This time he brought all the earth immortals he could, as many as 50,000 to 60,000. He wanted to build the city and lay the teleportation array as quickly as possible.
