Chapter 498: Third-order Ark

From the outside, it looks like a huge boulder suspended in mid-air, but a faint flow of spiritual power can be seen on the surface, which is the trace of the energy that drives the formation and the spiritual stone. It's called "Ark", and as its name suggests, it's designed for transportation.

Compared with other flying boats with speed and attack power, this Ark is bulky and slow, and does not have many battle formations, but it has an unrivaled advantage: it can accommodate nearly 5,000 people at a time.

In the open space below the Ark, Ye Changsheng has been waiting for a long time.

He stood side by side with Su Mengli, looking at the steady stream of teams of Foundation Establishment slave cultivators gathering here.

"Mr. Ye, are these people coming in such an orderly manner?"

Su Mengli held a roster and said with a smile, "I have spent a lot of effort to select them to ensure that they have a certain foundation of cultivation, are obedient enough, and can't make any mistakes. The most important thing is that young people Good strength and good plasticity.”

Ye Changsheng cupped his hands towards her and said in a solemn tone: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Su. I know it is not easy to gather them all in such a short period of time. I will remember your kindness for solving my problems." "

"Hey, don't be so serious."

Su Mengli blinked, "We are old friends. If you give me such a big order, of course I have to complete it well. Besides, you won't treat me badly, right?"

After her words fell, Su Mengli looked at each other and several accompanying zodiac club deacons, and then directed everyone to check the roster and numbers repeatedly.

After about a while, all the chores were completed, and the entire team of two thousand people was already lined up in the open space.

Ye Changsheng kept his promise and paid the remaining balance of 60 million high-grade spiritual stones without any delay.

When Su Mengli put away the huge sum of money in a special spirit stone bag, she couldn't help but sigh: "Young master Ye is indeed rich and powerful. Now, to you, the spirit stones are no different than ordinary people spending copper coins."

"If that's the case, then it's a relief."

Ye Changsheng smiled, but he knew in his heart that in order to build this fairy city, he had successively invested nearly 200 million high-grade spiritual stones, and the accompanying pressure on his books should not be underestimated. However, it is useless to think too much at the moment. We have already reached half the road and we can only continue to move forward firmly.

As the deal was completed, Su Mengli dismissed the accompanying team of deacons and took only a few people with him, intending to stay in Holy Peak City for two days.

Firstly, I want to know about the follow-up placement of slave cultivators, and secondly, I also want to see the follow-up plans of Ye Changsheng, the "future city lord".

Ye Changsheng turned his attention to the two thousand slave cultivators with a calm expression, but with the dignity of a person in charge.

He raised his voice and said: "From today on, all of you are my monks, Ye. I promised you that as long as you perform well, I will give you appropriate freedom and opportunities for promotion in the future.

And you can get a reasonable monthly salary.

This is not empty talk! As long as you are willing to work hard and follow me, I, Ye Changsheng, will not be stingy with resources, and will even arrange rewards for elixirs and magic weapons at the appropriate time.

Do you understand? "

Although his voice was not loud, it carried a convincing power.

Many slaves had expressions of shock or awe on their faces, and many exchanged glances with each other, seemingly confirming the reliability of the future city lord.

Some people bit their lips slightly, with a dubious expression, but now they were in a situation of slavery, and they could only stand a chance of turning over if they obeyed the instructions.

In the end, two thousand people responded with a brief response under the order. It didn't seem to have much momentum, but it also showed their most basic obedience.

Afterwards, Ye Changsheng opened the entrance to the Ark, and a hatch several feet high slowly opened on the outer wall of the Ark, revealing the spacious cabin below.

Su Mengli also curiously looked into the cabin door and saw dozens of rows of seats built with special spiritual materials, with a spacious aisle in the middle. Each row of seats was also covered with soft cushions, which looked comfortable. The speed is much better than that of ordinary flying boats.

"I also spent a lot of money to buy this ark."

Ye Changsheng explained lightly, "It is specifically for transporting people. It would be better if the speed could be faster. Unfortunately, the limit of the third level is there, and it can only be compensated by increasing the consumption of spiritual stones."

Su Mengli smiled and said: "It's not bad. It can carry five thousand people. If it flies as fast as those high-level flying boats, I'm afraid it will burn through your spiritual stone reserves."

While the two were talking and laughing, the slaves had begun to board the cabin in an orderly manner under the command of the deacons and attendants. Soon, two thousand people were seated on the bottom floor. It was quite spacious, but the atmosphere was a bit dull.

The array masters and weapon refiners were seated on the middle and upper floors. Those master-level figures naturally enjoyed a better environment and more flexible space for activities.

After waiting for everyone to board the ark, Ye Changsheng did not set sail immediately.

He looked at Su Mengli with a hint of gratitude: "Miss Su, I'll have to keep an eye on the next thing. If after the fairy city is built, you have the opportunity to move there and develop, it's not a bad idea."

There was a hint of expectation in Su Mengli's eyes, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "I like new things the most. Maybe I will run over to you and ask you to do some work for me, or to be in the city for the zodiac meeting. Open a branch inside."

The two chatted for a few more words, and after this big deal, their relationship became more and more harmonious.

In the end, Su Mengli and a few of her entourage stayed to check the place where Nu Xiu was placed, while the rest returned first.

When everything was ready, Ye Changsheng boarded the ark accompanied by his attendants and arrived at the topmost cockpit.

The spiritual energy in the cockpit was surging, and various control array plates were staggered and overlapped. There were also several storage bags filled with top-grade spiritual stones stacked next to them, which were obviously used to replenish the array power at any time.

Ye Changsheng stretched out his hand and pressed it on the array nameplate, his expression solemn, and slowly pinched the magic formula.

Spiritual patterns lit up one after another, and the ark seemed to make a slight "hum--" sound, and then slowly rose into the air under the pressure of thousands of pounds.

After rising from the ground for dozens of feet, Ye Changsheng's mind urged the array eye to increase the speed to the maximum. The whole ark immediately brought up a majestic airflow and roared all the way towards the direction of the Tianyuan Mountains.

The speed of the third-level ark is still not fast compared to those flying swords and light flying boats. Even if Ye Changsheng did not hesitate to invest a huge amount of spiritual stones, it still took a full five months to cross a large number of steep mountains and rivers and monster activity areas, and finally arrived at the southern foot of the Tianyuan Mountains.

The southern foot of the Tianyuan Mountains was once desolate and rampant by monsters.

However, in this year, the entire southern part of the mountain range seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes. Many temporary camps and simple caves appeared like mushrooms after rain, scattered in an orderly manner along the main mountain roads and where the spiritual veins converged.
