King of the Fairy City

"What?"

Lin Dong and the others cried out involuntarily, as if the fat meat they had gotten had suddenly flown away, and their faces became extremely depressed.

"Is this kid stupid? He even sold the Golden Core"

"I don't think he's stupid, he's too smart. With his current identity and status, he can't keep this Golden Core at all. If I remember correctly, that kid was only at the initial stage of foundation building three years ago, and he was still a long way from the peak of foundation building.

With the current scale of Ye's Immortal Town, it would take decades for him to collect enough cultivation resources and improve his cultivation to the peak of foundation building while maintaining the stable development of the town. Once the secret of his Golden Core is known to others, it will only bring disaster to himself and the town"

Lin Dong sighed with his hands behind his back.

"After wasting so much effort, this kid ended up exchanging the Golden Core for a large amount of spirit stones. Wouldn't our efforts be in vain? We also offended Ye's Immortal Town for no reason"

Liao Yuan also said dejectedly.

Since Ye Mo sold the Golden Core, he must have a lot of spiritual stone resources in his hands. The rise of Ye's Immortal Town is unstoppable. It's just that Ye Mo himself lost an opportunity to advance to the Golden Core.

"Ahem"

Wang Yi coughed lightly and said apologetically, "The suppression of Ye's Immortal Town was all contributed by me. The grudges between you and Ye's Immortal Town will be borne by me.

However, please take back the resource islands occupied by Ye's Immortal Town and the warships used to suppress Ye's Immortal Town. I have sent a message to Lord Ye and am ready to go to the island with you to apologize."

The city lords nodded.

Although Ye Mo has a lot of spiritual stones, they will not take it to heart. The development of the immortal town is a slow process. It is not that the strength of the immortal town can be immediately improved by several levels with spiritual stones.

Although they were quite dissatisfied with Ye Mo's stinginess at the beginning, they thought that Ye Mo was not unwilling to lend at the beginning. He was probably really without spirit stones and spirit grains, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to sell the newly obtained Jindan.

"This kid finally passed three trials in the Purple Sword Immortal Palace and got a Jindan, but he sold it in such a hurry."

Lin Dong sighed and shook his head.

The city lords also looked sympathetic, but they felt sympathy for Ye Mo, who had envied him before.

They didn't care how many spirit stones Ye Mo sold.

Treasures like Jindan have always been in short supply. It is easy to sell them, but the possibility of buying one back is very small. It is better to make some contributions in the Blood Sea War Zone and get rewards from the main immortal city.

"Since everyone has no objection, then this matter is settled. After all, it is almost time for the opening of the Purple Sword Palace, which is held once every three years.

We were the first to discover the Purple Sword Palace, but now it has been taken over by the Five Strong Towns. Can the city lords swallow this bitter breath?

After winning over the Ye Family Immortal Town, with the joint efforts of our nine towns, we may not be able to fight against the Five Strong Towns. After taking control of the Purple Sword Palace, with the experience of the last time, we may not be able to win a golden elixir when we participate in the trial again."

Wang Yi said in a deep voice.

Because of Wang Yi's words, the eight city lords began to discuss measures to deal with the Five Strong Towns. Ye Mo, who did not participate in this meeting, was assigned the task of fighting against the Five Strong Towns by Wang Yi and others early on.

A few days later, Ye Family Immortal Town, City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Mo sat upright in the city lord's position, looking at Wang Kai, who was acting as a lobbyist in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

As he expected, the eight immortal towns, including Wang's Immortal Town, suppressed Ye's Immortal Town in every possible way because they suspected that he might have a golden elixir.

"In this case, Brother Wang's Wang's Immortal Town and several other immortal towns will immediately return the occupied Ye's islands in the near future."

"Please forgive the offense during this period of time, Lord Ye. It was all a misunderstanding before. Lord Wang listened to the slander of the villain and made such a move. Lord Ye, rest assured, all the warships of our eight towns will be withdrawn, and the nearby resource islands will be returned to Ye Town."

After sending Wang Kai away, Ye Mo's face looked a little ugly.

He just spread some rumors to the outside world, saying that he had exchanged a batch of supplies for a golden elixir, and the eight towns knew about it so quickly. It seems that the eight towns have deployed a lot of spies in Ye Town.

When in the Aolai Sea, because the fairy village was small in scale and the population of the fairy village was far less than that of the fairy town, once a strange face appeared in the fairy village, it would be immediately discovered by the fairy guards in the fairy village.

By the time they arrived at the Blood Sea War Zone, the size of the Immortal Town had exceeded that of the Immortal Village by more than ten times, and the population had increased dramatically. A large number of independent cultivators had poured into the Immortal Town, making the management of the Immortal Town even more difficult. It was helpless to place spies in other Immortal Towns.

Ye Mo sighed in his heart.

"City Lord, is Wang Kai coming here to declare war?"

Chang Fei, Gao Jian and others walked in with solemn expressions.

"Wang Kai did not come here to declare war on our town. He came here specifically to apologize, return the nearby islands occupied by the Eight Immortal Towns, and withdraw the warships stationed in the nearby waters."

Ye Mo shook his head and smiled.

"What, they retreated?"

Chang Fei, Gao Jian, Wang Hu and others looked at each other, all shocked by the sudden news.

They had been troubled by the Eight Towns for almost two years, and had been suppressed openly and secretly, and had never been able to get out of the predicament. Unexpectedly, they retreated quickly just after Ye Mo came back.

Wang Hu was dumbfounded and said, "Boss, you are too awesome. You just came back and didn't do anything, but you scared those guys!"

Gao Jian shook his head in surprise and said, "It is impossible for the Eight Immortals Town to show weakness. There must be something more important that forced them to give up the confrontation with our Ye's Immortal Town."

"It must be the Ancient Purple Sword Palace"

Chang Fei slapped his forehead and said, "Three years are coming, and it is time for the Purple Sword Palace to open. The city lord of the Eight Immortals Town has no time to deal with us. He is also worried that we will take advantage of their entry into the Purple Sword Palace to do something behind their backs, so he retreated."

In the following period of time, Chang Fei, Gao Jian and others began to take over the resource islands returned by the Nine Immortals Town.

The eight city lords also came to apologize together. The city lord Wang of the Wang's Immortal Town even sent a large number of valuable resources and local slaves to help Ye Mo rebuild the Ye's Immortal Town.

Ye Mo naturally accepted them one by one, and soon agreed to join the Nine Immortals Town Alliance. He needed time to revitalize Ye Town, and naturally did not want to have too much trouble with the eight surrounding immortal towns.

The problem of Baxian Town was solved, and Ye Mo also took some time to go to Lin Yu's Poison Fairy Town and sent a batch of town-building resources to help Lin Yu overcome the difficulties.

Ye's Fairy Town regained new vitality, but Ye Mo soon faced another problem - the problem of manpower.

Ye's Fairy Town is now extremely short of manpower.

Although the dock was rebuilt, Ye Mo also bought the blueprints of medium-sized warships from Qingyun Fairy City, but there were not enough people to build the warships, and the dock was still in a state of suspension.

The number of immortal guards was also limited. Although the nearby branch islands were taken back, there was no manpower to garrison for a while.

The Refining Hall, the Spirit Plant Hall, the Taming Hall, etc. were almost all seriously short of people.

The training of the seahorse demon had been entrusted to Ah Zhi before. Later, Ah Zhi was busy cultivating various spiritual medicines that Ye Mo sent to the Ancient Painting Fairy Village. After Ye Mo came back this time, he handed over the training of the seahorse demon to Lin Xiaoya in the animal training hall.

Lin Xiaoya was originally a spiritual plant trainer trained by Mo Ling. Later, she was asked to leave by Zhang Pengju of the Spirit Eagle Pavilion. She learned a good level of animal training. Although the methods of training spirit eagles and seahorses demons are different, Lin Xiaoya can draw inferences from one instance to another. After Ye Mo made some of Ah Zhi's experience into jade slips and gave them to this girl, she quickly mastered the level of breeding and training seahorses demons.

However, there was a serious shortage of manpower. Lin Xiaoya worked hard day and night, and Ye Mo also took it to heart.

Because of this matter, Ye Mo went directly to Lu Tong. After paying off his debts, he issued a recruitment notice.

In addition to the recruitment notices for these professional cultivators, Ye Mo also posted a special notice on the notice board.

"Ye's Immortal Town will hold an Immortal Ascension Competition in a month. Cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can go directly to participate. This competition focuses on participation, and this town has a different judging standard.

Anyone who is favored by this town, regardless of their cultivation level, will be immediately accepted as a reserve immortal guard, with a monthly salary equivalent to that of an ordinary foundation-building immortal guard. If you can win the championship in this competition, you will receive 20,000 spirit stones, and an additional One foundation-building pill

As soon as this announcement came out, the cultivators in various towns were immediately shocked.

It was not without precedent that the immortal town held the Ascension Competition, but this was the first time they heard that the Ascension Competition was only for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

The fight between cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage was monotonous and boring, and it was impossible to attract casual cultivators to watch the fight.

Everyone was wondering what the mayor of the Ye family immortal town was thinking.

However, the low-level cultivators in the towns were completely excited because of this news.

The competition was limited to Qi Refining cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. Just 20,000 spirit stones alone was an unimaginable huge fortune for these Qi Refining cultivators.

Not to mention the Foundation Building Pill that all Qi Refining cultivators dreamed of.

Moreover, the announcement specifically stated that even if you failed in the competition, you would not necessarily have no chance at all. As long as you could become a reserve immortal guard of Ye's Immortal Town, you could enjoy the same treatment as the Foundation Building Immortal Guards every month.

This seemingly insignificant news soon spread from Ye Town, and almost all the low-level cultivators in the surrounding immortal towns knew about the existence of the Immortal Ascension Competition that was about to be held in Ye's Immortal Town.

After just a few days, there was still a month before the Immortal Ascension Competition, and a large number of low-level Qi Refining cultivators could not wait to rush into Ye's Immortal Town.

The houses that had been vacant for a long time were soon filled with Qi Refining cultivators who came to participate in the competition. The streets of Ye Town were crowded and lively.

Even the inns began to be full, and several Qi Refining cultivators had to live together to rent a house in Ye's Immortal Town.
