Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Two years later, on an inconspicuous piece of sand in the vast sand sea, a huge blue building boat suddenly flew over.

After the boat flew to its destination, it landed in the air, and unloaded all the more than a hundred monks inside. Then, a young man in a pale golden robe raised his hand and shrunk it into a storage ring. middle.

The young man was Zhou Yang, and the monks he sent here in the empty boat were all Shuimu two-system Kung Fu monks specially hired by the Zhou family to build a new oasis.

"Elder Taishang, this is the place. If you dig three hundred feet down here, groundwater will emerge. It should be that there is an underground river at a deeper level."

Beside Zhou Yang, Huang Yi who came with him, after he put away the magic weapon, quickly pointed to the sand below and introduced the situation to him.

Five years ago, Huang Yi took the task entrusted to him by Zhou Yang to go to Xijiaozhou to explore the way, and buried "yuan magnetic traction array disk" at the water source along the way.

Five years later, after hard work, he finally lived up to Zhou Yang's entrustment and successfully drew out a detailed road map, and then returned to the Chihu Mountain Oasis with his own results to pay Zhou Yang a job.

Zhou Yang also kept his word. After he came back, Dang even gave him a Foundation Establishment Pill, and then recruited him as a guide to lead the Zhou family's oasis construction team deep into the sand sea to build an oasis.

And the place where they are now is the first water source point leading to Xijiao Island marked by Huang Yi.

This place is more than five thousand miles away from the nearest oasis to the Boundless Sand Sea and the Immortal Cultivation World. The surrounding fields are covered with vast yellow sand, and there is no trace of green. It is a real forbidden zone for life.

"Guangxiang, you have also heard Huang Daoyou's words. You have already understood how important this matter of building an oasis is. You must do it well and do it as soon as possible. If you need anything, you can report it to the family! "

Zhou Yang looked away from the piece of sand that Huang Yi was pointing at, and explained to Zhou Guangxiang beside him with a straight face.

Zhou Guangxiang is the only monk among the Zhou family's several foundation-building monks who practiced the wood-type kung fu. Zhou Yang asked her to lead the water-wood kung fu monks recruited by the Zhou family a few years ago to use the Haoyang Mountain spirit vein as a pilot. Try to summarize ways to quickly create a new oasis.

Now that several years have passed, their team has summed up a set of effective methods after many experiments.

Hearing Zhou Yang's explanation at this time, Zhou Guangxiang's tender and pretty face suddenly tightened, and he quickly responded, "Uncle Jiu, don't worry, my niece will definitely build this new oasis as quickly as possible!"

"Well, let's build up the spiritual vein first!"

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, but gave instructions to the two Zhou family formation masters who followed him.

Since the Zhou family came out with Zhou Guangxiang, the third-tier array mage, it has become much easier to train array mages than before. Coupled with the continuous increase in the population and financial income of the Zhou family over the years, it is not difficult to train more array mages .

Now apart from Zhou Guangxiang, who has been successfully promoted to a third-tier mid-tier array mage, the Zhou family also has three second-tier array mages and four first-tier array mages.

This time to create a new oasis, Zhou Yang specially called in two second-order formation masters to help arrange the spirit-gathering formation and build artificial spiritual veins.

On the map that Huang Yi brought back, there are a total of 25 water source nodes, which means that the Zhou family needs to build 25 artificial oases and artificial spiritual veins on these 25 water source nodes.

According to Zhou Yang's plan, each man-made oasis must have an area of ​​at least three million mu, and at least one second-order high-grade man-made spiritual vein.

Only when the oasis is large enough can it resist the erosion of sandstorms, and only if it has spiritual veins can it arrange formations and send monks to garrison it.

Zhou Yang named this plan "New Homeland Project", as the name suggests, he wanted to use this plan to open up a new home for the Zhou family and the monks in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm.

According to his plan, the Zhou family will continue to devote millions of spirit stones to this plan, build 25 oases on the map at the rate of one oasis in three years, and artificially build a "road of life" leading to Xijiao Island. road".

Xijiao Island is far away from the range of current cultivators' activities. If such an oasis passage leading to it is not created, even if the Zhou family occupies Xijiao Island, they can only treat it as an enclave and cannot fully occupy it for development.

And through Zhou Yang's plan, using twenty-five man-made oases as a link to connect Xijiao Island with the boundless sand sea of ​​cultivating immortals, ordinary monks in the Qi training period can also go to Xijiao Island for adventure through continuous transfers.

Yes, adventure.

Originally, Zhou Yang and Cao Wenjin had agreed that, except for those oases transferred to the Zhou family by the Huang Shamen, the Zhou family would never occupy any oases to which the Huang Shamen belonged, not even the oases of the vassal families.

In this way, the future development of the Zhou family was actually locked, and the possibility of the Zhou family becoming a giant like Huang Shamen was eliminated.

But this agreement is not without loopholes.

The loophole is actually very obvious, that is, the oasis and the vast sand sea that are not under the rule of Huang Shamen, as long as the Zhou family can develop and occupy them, they can develop them to their heart's content.

Unfortunately, Rhinoceros Island is also among them.

Zhou Yang's plan is that the Zhou family will contribute money and efforts to connect Xijiao Island with the current world of cultivating immortals, and then all the sites along the way will be owned by the Zhou family in name.

Any monk who discovers a new oasis in this area and wants to occupy the new oasis and open up a new family must submit to the Zhou family and become a vassal of the Zhou family. Otherwise, the Zhou family has the right to attack it, and no one is allowed to interfere.

When half of these planned man-made oases are completed, Zhou Yang will sell the map leading to Xijiao Island to those casual practitioners, encouraging them to venture into this area and help his Zhou family explore the situation in this area.

At the same time, he will promise these casual cultivators that as long as a new oasis is found in this area, the Zhou family will support them in establishing a family and provide them with basic protection. If they do not want to establish a family, they can also sell the oasis to the Zhou family.

And if a mineral vein is discovered, as long as the information of the mineral vein is sold to the Zhou family, a generous reward can be obtained.

Zhou Yang believed that, attracted by these favorable conditions, countless unsatisfactory and adventurous casual and family monks would come here to explore the new world.

When these monks come over, they will definitely stop at the various oases built by the Zhou family for supplies, and the treasures obtained from the expedition will naturally be sold to the nearby shops of the Zhou family.

If things go on like this, the spirit stones that the Zhou family paid to build a new oasis can be earned back from these casual cultivators, even the principal and interest.

"Jiang Yuyan's lifespan is about 30 years. I have made an agreement with her to go to Xijiao Island to expel that fifth-order monster in twenty-seven years. As long as we succeed in expelling that fifth-order monster, we will The two-line construction can be started to speed up the construction of an oasis, so the construction period can be shortened by at least one-third!"

Above the sandy sea, Zhou Yang looked at the low-ranking monks below who were busy casting spells and digging to guide the groundwater gushing out. Thinking of his plan, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

If his "New Homeland Project" can be successful, the foundation of the Zhou family's thousand-year-old family will be completely laid, and the spiritual veins he needs to form alchemy in the future will also be settled at once.

To create a second-level high-grade spiritual vein out of nothing, even with the assistance of the spirit-gathering array, it would still cost 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

After Zhou Yang and the two formation masters of the Zhou family arranged the spirit-gathering formation, they threw the spirit stones into the formation.

In the next year, the formation will slowly extract the spiritual power from the spirit stone and integrate it into the veins of the earth, thereby forming a spirit-gathering effect, attracting the spirit energy within dozens of miles around to gather here. The pulse is considered to be fully established.

At the same time, those monks who practiced the water system also guided the clear water from deep underground to the ground with the help of spells and formations.

Then these monks used the clear water as a guide, cast spells in batches to turn the water vapor into rain clouds, and evenly sprinkled it within a radius of several miles, first infiltrating and transforming the sandy soil.

After the sandy soil turns into clay soil, those wood-type kung fu monks will sprinkle grass seeds on the land, then use the wood-type spawning spell to stimulate the grass seeds, and finally turn the withered grass seeds into fertilizer and sink them into the ground. Fertile land.

More than a hundred monks worked in rotation and continued to work, and it was not difficult to create a small and medium-sized oasis within three years.

Of course, behind this seemingly not difficult, is the large amount of spiritual stone materials that the Zhou family consumed in hiring these monks.

According to the contract signed by the Zhou family and these people, as long as a five-level water-based kung fu monk who practices Qi practice officially starts working, he can get a reward of 100 low-grade spirit stones from the Zhou family every year, and the spirit stones that replenish his mana will also be paid by the Zhou family. Provided by the Zhou family, so is all the food and drink.

Calculated in this way, even if the 30 to 40 Zhou family children, relatives, and guest ministers among these monks are removed, the Zhou family's annual employment fee for these monks is as high as more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!

If it weren't for some monks who were willing to use talismans, elixir, and magic weapons to pay off the debt, it would be really difficult for the Zhou family to raise such a gold-sucking infrastructure team.

But Zhou Yang believes that all these sacrifices are worthwhile.

Infrastructure investment is always like this. The initial cost is huge, and the later stage is just sitting and collecting money.

As long as the twenty-five man-made oases are completed, all the investment of the Zhou family will be recovered ten times or a hundred times in the following thousands of years.

Zhou Yang returned to Chihu Mountain after the construction of the oasis officially started. He has already made a plan, and it will be fine for the monks of the Zhou family to implement it according to his plan.

And there was Zhou Guangxiang, a foundation-building cultivator from the Zhou family, on the scene to supervise, and he was not afraid of those monks taking money and not working, and he was not afraid of monsters and villains coming to sneak attacks.

You must know that Zhou Guangxiang not only has reached the fifth level of foundation building, but also carries a third-rank low-grade monster flying panther in his spirit beast bag, and a third-rank mid-grade puppet beast and A Tier 4 Beast Soul Talisman.

With these trump cards in hand, unless there are monks from the Zifu period and fourth-order monsters attacking, or three or five foundation-building monks coming, they will not be her opponents.
