The flying boat crosses the blue sea and reaches the sky.
The Chongming Islands are the closest archipelago to Qingyang City in the south of the Wei River. There are numerous islands, large and small.
According to historical records, the Chongming Islands were originally a continuous mountain range with the famous giant peak 'Chongming Peak'.
Later, due to changes in the terrain and environment, the mountains were washed away by the Wei River and gradually evolved into an archipelago, hence the name "Chongming".
Except for the presence of many sea beasts and sea monsters, the archipelago is relatively barren. It is surrounded by islands and full of rocks. The peaks on the island are steep and the aura is not much stronger than that of a mortal city.
If you want to cultivate it, it will definitely consume a huge amount of manpower and financial resources. So far, no one has established a community, and only occasionally monks come to explore and hunt.
Among them, Liusha Island has vast territory, deep forests, and undulating mountains. It is the largest island within a thousand miles with "Chongming Peak" as the center.
For nine days through the clouds, the flying boat floated in the sky.
I saw beautiful mountains and clear waters on the island, full of greenery, with many buildings scattered here and there, and some figures looking up at the sky.
"Husband!"
"Master!"
Three figures soared into the sky.
The concubines Wei Jue and Xu Caixuan have both successfully built the foundation and are both at the second level of foundation building.
There is also Qi Xianzong, a guest minister, who built a three-story foundation.
Zhong Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Qi, you are well. Congratulations on your great progress."
He has been at the ninth level of Qi refining for many years, and after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, he made a breakthrough and steadily improved, which can be regarded as a solid accumulation.
Qi Xianzong had a look of emotion on his face, raised his hands and said solemnly: "Thank you for being cultivated by my employer. I will not spare any effort to support you. Xianzong thanks you!"
"Go down and chat."
The flying boat landed in the square, and hundreds of people disembarked in an orderly manner. The girls looked around curiously and chattered, attracting attention.
Ding Zhan led several warriors to quickly come forward to pay their respects.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Zhong Yan stepped forward to lift him up and said with a smile: "Everyone, get up, Guo Zhen, please arrange a shift change so that the brothers on the island can rest first and take half a month off to eat, drink and have fun!"
Guo Zhen: "Yes, the head of the family!"
There was a cheer.
One by one, they looked at the beautiful girls in the distance, their eyes shining and their faces flushed. The martial artists who came here first in the early years were all from the West District martial arts school, and most of them were still teenagers when they came.
Zhong Yan took out a storage bag and handed it to a guest, bringing a large amount of wine, fruits, and animal meat to eat.
A group of important people went to the five-story stone palace on the edge of the square.
Everyone took their seats.
Zhong Yan briefly introduced the ten guests he had brought, all of whom were from the foundation-building realm of the Five Elements Sect. Two of them were in the late seventh level of foundation building, and their loyalty levels were above seventy. Yao Huilan, who was at the ninth level of foundation building, was left behind. No worries.
Later, Wei Jue, Xu Caixuan, Qi Xianzong, and Ding Zhan elaborated on the situation on the island.
"Roughly measured, the plane area of the entire island is nearly half that of Qingyang City. However, there are many mountains with high peaks and large ravines. There are 489 of them over 100 feet tall. It is not suitable for flat land construction..."
"At present, twelve thousand-acre flat land has been opened up as the main construction area..."
"According to your request, 187 caves have been built, all with three bedrooms plus a training room, and the space is spacious..."
"This place is more than 7,000 miles away from the Qiyan Channel. It is deserted and has only been close to six groups of passing monks in recent years..."
"There are a small number of Qi-refining monsters on the island. There are many wild beasts. Two places have been imprisoned. Gardens will be built in the future..."
"There are a lot of sea beasts, mainly human-faced fish. They will land and harass them within three to five days when they first arrive."
"Now that formations are deployed around the island, the number of attacks has dropped a lot. It has been a month since the last time sea beasts collided with formations."
"..."
In some cases, Zhong Yan has already read the report materials at home, and reclaiming wasteland costs a lot of money.
So far, the expenditure on ordinary money and goods alone has reached 82 million taels of silver.
There are even more resources and materials for cultivating immortals, and most of the spiritual materials obtained from the Five Elements Sect have been sent here.
In addition, there were also casualties. Three Qi Refining Guests and seventeen warriors died, all due to resisting sea beasts.
As for the workers, about twenty of them died because they accidentally fell down the cliff.
In the past two years, the level of the guards has improved and their conditions have been better, but there have been no casualties.
Zhong Yan asked: "How long will it take to build it to a level close to Qingyang City?"
The four of them looked at each other and looked at an old man in gray robes, who was the chief engineer here.
"Master Immortal, based on the current progress and the more than 300 people you have brought, I can roughly estimate that it will take at least twenty years."
The old man was a little nervous, brushed his messy hair, and hurriedly added: "The island is full of mountains and dense forests, as well as large and small lakes and sandy areas that are easy to sink into. Leveling it is particularly troublesome. If you can send more The guidance of the immortal master can greatly shorten the time..."
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment and said: "We will send another two hundred monks over later, and more than a thousand mortals."
At present, the manpower of the monks in the family is relatively tight and it is not suitable to mobilize them. They can only recruit some coolies from outside.
The old man looked happy and said with a smile: "This is so good, it will be completed within five years!"
The monks can go up to heaven and down to the earth, and can easily deal with cliffs and cliffs, and can solve most problems.
Zhong Yan detailed his requirements, and the supervisor and the four new craftsmen gave full assurances.
"Don't worry, sir. We will do our best to design a palace and pavilion that satisfies you."
The five of them are all masters, two of whom have participated in the construction of the palace, and three of whom have built sect buildings.
"Thank you for your help."
Everyone retreated.
Wei Jue smiled and said, "Husband, would you like to show me around?"
"good."
Flying high in the sky, Zhong Yan heard a ding in his ears.
[If the conditions are met, the magical power 'Soul-eating Slash' will be rewarded]
Zhong Yan's expression changed, and he hurriedly checked the panel. At the same time, information came from the sea of consciousness, which was the secret formula of 'Soul-Eating Slash'.
【Affiliated: 1018】
The number of guests has reached one thousand, and the number is still rising.
He turned around and saw people gathering in the square, eating and drinking in a lively manner, with women accompanying them, and bursts of laughter.
It's a worthwhile trip.
"Where's Xin'er?"
Xu Caixuan: "Sister Xin'er is in the west of the island. I have sent a message to inform her."
Zhong Yan nodded. Li Jiaxin, a mortal concubine, has never been back to the island. She probably misses her child very much.
The four of them traveled in the air, appreciating the scenery on the island, and from time to time they stopped to inspect the completed buildings and caves. Wei Jue and Xu Caixuan introduced them from the side.
"Yes, according to this standard."
Zhong Yan nodded repeatedly, very satisfied. After seeing it with his own eyes, he became more determined to make Liusha Island the ancestral home of his family in the future.
Finally, we went to the highest peak on the island. The peak was cut into flat ground and a three-story palace was built.
Xu Caixuan: "This is the main hall of the main peak. Only one main hall has been excavated and built inside the mountain for the time being. It will be adjusted in the future if necessary."
Wei Jue: "Husband, I haven't chosen a name yet. Please give me a name as Ning's residence."
The mountain peaks are so tall that people can see them from above. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can overlook the entire island. You can see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance.
Zhong Yan curled his lips and waved, "My name is Qi Tianfeng! Come in and have a look!"
The main hall is spacious and clean, with carved beams and painted pillars, extraordinary style and ingenious workmanship.
Many decorations and daily necessities have been placed, and Wei Jue smiled and said: "The spirit gathering array has been built here. We all live here, waiting high and looking into the distance every day, and we feel refreshed."
Boil water for tea.
While chatting, the four of them began to talk about Wushan Yunyu.
Zhong Yan hugged Wei Jue, who was delicate and soft, and started to quarrel with each other.
Yao Huilan and Xu Caixuan helped to remove the obstacles and scrambled. One ate corn and the other ate duck eggs.
It didn't take long.
"Husband!"
"Uncle!"
When the atmosphere in the classroom was getting thicker, a rainbow light fell at the entrance of the hall, and two shouts of joy were heard.
…
