National Expedition: Save the Immortal Cultivation World
Chapter 226 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
Now the entire city lord's palace belongs to Wei City.
He stood on the tall city gate tower, overlooking the building complex covering an area of one square kilometer.
Inside, there are carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions, water pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and there are endless flowers and scenery.
It can be seen that the people who built this city lord's palace were very careful, and every courtyard seems to have a story.
About talented men and beautiful women, about talented men and beautiful women, and about love.
This is really a sad place for the old man.
Judging from the layout of the city lord's mansion, he once married at least ten city lord's wives, all of whom must have been stunningly beautiful in the world. However, youth fades away, beauties grow old, and the bright mirror in the high hall sadly turned white, and then turned into a pile of withered bones, leaving only the old man himself. Alone and alone.
Even a few generations later, even his own sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons were all dead.
Thinking of the little children who once learned to talk, and the lovely wives and concubines who once lived day and night, are now dead. What a tragic thing it is in this world.
It must be very painful to be an immortal ancestor.
Therefore, Wei Cheng can understand the thoughts of those who have been obsessed with cultivating immortals and seeking immortality throughout the ages.
"Eternal life!"
Wei Cheng sighed lightly, floated down, and placed the huge coffin that sealed the Blood Demon Orb in the center of the city lord's palace.
He didn't know how the old man carried this thing with him, but he had to find a way to solve it.
Before that, he needed to decide one thing.
The situation has changed. Should we continue to rebuild and expand Fuyun City?
The two places are five hundred miles apart. Even for an innate warrior, a round trip would take a day, unless it was Ling Yan.
If something happens, there won't even be time to provide support.
So why not retract your fists and concentrate all your strength in one place?
Wei Cheng pondered and looked at the lifelike sand table in front of him. The topographic map of the entire Tiannan County was marked here.
Judging from this sand table topographic map.
More than 200 miles west of Cangwu City is a large river. On the east bank of the river is a large alluvial plain, 500 to 600 miles from north to south and 200 to 300 miles from east to west. It can be regarded as a thousand miles of fertile land.
There was so much fighting before. There are still three small cities in the area west of Cangwu City and east of the river. More than ten towns have not been affected. Now there are about 100,000 indigenous people living there. The reason why Cangwu City’s various supplies are The constant supply comes from this.
Even the last time the three-headed crow led an army of demons to besiege Cangwu City for thirteen days, it was not affected because the three-headed crow came from the northeast, that is, starting from Fengmo Mountain, passing through Fuyun City, and finally arrived at Cangwu City. Under Wu City.
To the west of the river is another county in the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, named Canglang.
Generally speaking, with the big river as a natural barrier, the west of Cangwu City can temporarily ensure stability.
But east of Cangwu City, especially Fengmo Mountain in the northeast, is a huge factor of instability.
Then, Floating Cloud City, which stands between Cangwu City and Fengmo Mountain, is very necessary.
Wei Cheng's eyes wandered over the sand table.
The current location of Fuyun City is actually not a good one. After all, the original purpose was to mine black iron ore.
And if you want to contain Feng Mo Mountain, or if you want to stop the demon army from Feng Mo Mountain, it is necessary to change your position.
Of course, there is no rush.
If possible, it would be best to recruit natives to build the city, and the trialists' time should be used to practice.
Thinking of this, Wei Cheng took out the secret letter.
This was sent by a friend of the old city lord and was recorded in the jade talisman.
It was difficult to check it by ordinary means. Wei Cheng studied it for a while and found that he had to use an out-of-body spirit to check it.
After a moment of hesitation, he chose to leave the nine orifices. When his out-of-body spirit landed on the jade talisman, he immediately felt a ray of power slowly pulling him. In an instant, the light and shadow changed, and Wei Cheng seemed to be in a different world. In a beautiful and magnificent palace.
A feast was being held in the palace, where people were singing, dancing, and drinking wine.
The owner here was sitting at the top, holding a gorgeous wine glass, half drunk and half awake, smiling wantonly.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Weicheng and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, how are you doing these days after seeing each other for so many years?"
Wei Cheng was stunned, but the owner didn't seem to know that the viewer had changed to someone else, or that this was not happening in real time, just like a panoramic video.
He just entered it in a way similar to a VR game cabin...
In addition, the old man’s surname is Qin.
Just as he was thinking this, the master stopped talking and just looked over with a smile. What the hell?
"Um, I'm fine."
Wei Cheng answered erratically.
"Are you okay? Brother Qin is so depressed now that he doesn't even bother to say perfunctory words. That's all. Who is not a lot of trouble?"
"Recently, the Feng Mo that was suppressed at the foot of Feng Mo Mountain is ready to move again. Demonic winds have appeared repeatedly and have destroyed several counties and dozens of villages. I reported this matter, but there was no news from the Immortal Dynasty Shenjing. Really? We, the small border counties, are left to fend for ourselves.”
"Brother Qin, do you have any extra spirit stones in your treasury? I would be very grateful if you could lend me one or two to help you turn around. If you have any elite soldiers, please lend me three to five thousand. The wind and demon are raging and the people are in dire straits. The Supreme Sect of that day and the Fuyun Sect , but the Ziyi Sect only tolerated it without any pain, and I don’t know if they would still be able to laugh if Tiannan County fell into the hands of the wind demon."
"That's it, I'm tired, Brother Qin, we'll talk about it another day."
"That's fine."
Wei Cheng answered again, but unexpectedly, the host actually asked again: "Brother Qin is very worried today. Can you tell me something?"
What the hell is this?
It can’t be an online chat, right? And he is invisible now?
Wei Cheng's heart moved.
"I don't have any extra spiritual stones in my treasury, so why don't you give me a favor first or give me a teleportation array."
As soon as the words fell, the master responded instantly.
"Ha! Brother Qin still wants to help me, don't even think about it. I do have a teleportation array here, but you have to do me a favor."
"Let's talk about it in detail."
"Simple, help me destroy the three demons of Fengchen, and I will give you this teleportation array. They are entrenched in Fengmo Mountain. I have many official duties and it is difficult to spare time-"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Wei Cheng decisively agreed. If there could be a teleportation array between Fuyun City and Cangwu City, it would have great strategic significance.
But then again, why is there no teleportation array between Cangwu City and Tiannan County?
Wei Cheng was a little curious, but then he thought about it. The treasuries in these two places were so poor that they even had to give away spiritual stones, and even the teleportation array could not be used.
"So, getting enough spirit stones is necessary for long-term development."
"But, why is there a shortage of spiritual stones in the world of immortality?"
This question came to Wei Cheng's mind, and he immediately thought it was too funny.
Because this is similar to why people on earth are short of money.
By the way, who is not short of money?
Next, Wei Cheng took out the low-level secret art of weapon refining and the low-level secret art of alchemy. The content in it was like a vast ocean, very complicated, and it was impossible to master it in a short time.
Moreover, the current situation does not allow him to have extra time to master it. So, it would not be a bad idea to select some trustworthy life professional practitioners with extremely high relevant qualifications and hand them over to master these two secret techniques. Not a good thing.
However, people will hate less when they use it.
Suddenly, there was such a large amount of industry, and Wei Cheng felt a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, something suddenly moved in his heart, and he quickly flew up. In the blink of an eye, he was already on top of the city gate tower. Looking down, he saw that the old shopkeeper, who was a man of iron skills, was standing alone in the huge building. on the square.
And his identity behind the scenes is that he is the head of Fuyun Sect. He is very powerful. He once severely injured Chi Yao who was already seriously injured and sealed with one move.
Unexpectedly, less than half a day after Wei Cheng took office as city lord, he would come to visit him.
"Congratulations, little friend!"
The old man was neither happy nor angry. Standing there, he put great pressure on Weicheng.
"Why are you so happy? I think I have been tricked. Nowadays, Cangwu City is constantly troubled by internal and external troubles. The young man is not talented, but he still needs to ask the old man for guidance."
Wei Cheng stood on the city gate tower, slightly arching his hands, mainly because he was a little unsure of the Fuyun Sect's thoughts.
Logically speaking, cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents, but what does this old man mean by coming here alone?
"I don't want to take this advice seriously, but our Fuyun Sect has a contract with the previous city lord. Now that I have succeeded as the city lord, I wonder if I should continue to fulfill this contract?"
"Contract? What contract? Senior, can you make it clear!" Wei Cheng was stunned and very surprised. He didn't know about this at all.
But the old shopkeeper of Fuyuntiexing did not explain. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, looked at Wei Cheng for a moment, and suddenly handed over his hand.
"In this case, I have nothing to say. Lord City Lord, please stay while I go."
After that, the old man turned around and left.
Wei Cheng watched his back go away, his eyes sharpening.
Within a moment, Xu Shan and Xue Xindong came in a hurry.
"Old Wei, it's bad, Fuyun Tiexing is leaving. I mean to move out and withdraw capital!"
Afraid that Wei Cheng wouldn't understand, Xu Shan even explained.
"How many people left?"
"It's not a question of how many people there are. The city lord of Wei City is mainly based on Fuyuntiexing. A total of 372 shops, together with their shopkeepers, clerks, relatives and family members, and more than 23,000 indigenous people have all left. !”
"In conjunction, the hundreds of losers in the entire West City, as well as the shops, industries, and indigenous people they supported have all gone. Before today, the number of indigenous people in Cangwu City will soon reach 100,000. With this departure, there will be a direct loss of 30,000 people."
Xu Shan jumped up and down anxiously. Who would have thought that Fuyun Tiexing had such a deep foundation and was involved in almost all walks of life, even the young lady in Baihua Lane was gone.
Now the entire Cangwu City is in panic, and many indigenous people are waiting and watching. If we don't think of a countermeasure quickly, Cangwu City will really become a depleted city.
Xue Xindong also said at this time: "Boss Wei, I asked someone to find out. Two of the three small towns to the west of Cangwu City are also Fuyuntiexing, and the city lords are all their disciples. But over there, Cangwu The city’s most important source of supplies.”
"Good guy!"
Wei Cheng was really surprised this time. The legendary immortal cultivating sects were all deep in the fairy mountains and could not easily glimpse the immortals.
This Fuyun Sect is a big hermit in the city, directly controlling the economic lifeline of Cangwu City.
This time, he was ignorant.
He admitted that he underestimated Fuyun Sect.
He thought that the Fuyun Sect would start a war with him with open swords and guns, and they would fight to the death.
But the reality is obviously more cruel.
The Fuyun Sect is not a fool. Weicheng has 20,000 trialists under his command. It is difficult for the strongest person to fight against the leader of the Fuyun Sect. But if a war really starts, even if they can win, how much of the foundation of the Fuyun Sect will be left? ?
So, they chose to pull the trigger.
