Chapter 499 Construction Begins

The various arrays and prohibitions are like a huge net, isolating the surrounding monsters that may invade.

Especially near the core peaks, they are heavily guarded, and teams of monks patrol back and forth, with swords drawn, looking extremely murderous.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a newly built main camp, the scale of which is spectacular: hundreds of stone and wood mixed houses surround a spiritual spring, forming a semicircular living area. In the central open space, there are several huge array pits, in which mysterious array plates and spiritual materials are buried. The third-level array masters among the Purple Mansion guests are busy testing various arrays.

Going further in, there are smelting workshops and temporary refining tables of third-level refiners, with blazing fires and spiritual materials piled up like mountains, a scene of bustling activity.

When the huge shadow of the Ark was cast between the mountains and forests, the people who had been waiting here for a long time looked up, and many people exclaimed in amazement.

"I'm back! It's the master's flying boat!"

"You brought back so many people? It looks like a big battle."

As the ark landed with a roar, several teams of monks ran out of the camp, led by Ye Changsheng's son, Ye Shengyu.

This boy was born with a dignified appearance, and his eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to Ye Changsheng. While directing his men to maintain order, he strode forward with excitement.

"Father, you are finally back!"

When Ye Shengyu saw Ye Changsheng, his tone revealed a joy of reunion after a long absence. "In this year, we can follow your instructions and build the formation, prohibition, and camp here in a proper manner. Although we encountered a lot of troubles in the process, we got through it smoothly anyway."

Ye Changsheng patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Good job. You've worked hard."

He looked around and found that the camp had really changed a lot, from the initial simple sheds and rough formations to the solid defense line that can resist the attacks of fourth-level monsters. One by one, the array masters and weapon refiners were busy maintaining the spiritual roads everywhere to prevent the energy supply from being disrupted.

It can be seen that Ye Shengyu really spent a lot of thought and deployed enough manpower and material resources here.

Then, the hatch opened, and two thousand foundation-building slave cultivators, arranged by the camp guards, walked down the ark one by one, with curiosity and uneasiness about the new environment in their expressions.

"Shengyu, you first arrange these two thousand people to various tents or caves to rest for the time being. Tomorrow, I will personally assign them specific tasks."

Ye Changsheng ordered.

"Understood, father."

Ye Shengyu responded and immediately called on his monks to lead the team to take the slave cultivators to their respective accommodation areas in batches.

In the initial plan, the camp reserved a considerable number of residences and resource reserves to accommodate thousands of people at a time.

Now that people have arrived, they can naturally be used.

Following closely, the array masters and weapon refiners also filed out.

Many of them came to Tianyuan Mountain for the first time. They were full of strong interest in this strange and dangerous area. They looked around and inquired about the layout of various places.

Ye Shengyu also arranged special servants to take these technicians to another more comfortable area, and pointed out where there were spiritual veins, where was the temporarily transformed weapon refining workshop, and where could provide logistical supplies.

"Masters, you have worked hard all the way. You should rest for a while in the station and familiarize yourself with the terrain. In a few days, my father will gather everyone to discuss the details of building the city."

The formation masters nodded to each other and expressed their understanding. Some people couldn't wait to check the spiritual veins and terrain to determine the subsequent formation design.

When everyone got off the ark and the voices around gradually faded away, Ye Changsheng had a chance to take a breath.

At this time, Ye Shengyu came over with a smile, "Father, mother and others have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, and they are all waiting for you in the main tent at the back. You should go and meet them first."

"Okay."

He walked to the main tent, a large tent carefully built with spiritual wood and protective formations. The appearance is not eye-catching, but the interior space is very spacious.

There was a long table in the middle of the big tent, with night-light pearls on it, and fragrance curling around.

"Husband, you are finally back, we all miss you so much."

The woman in the lead was Shen Yuefeng, she had a beautiful face, gentle temperament, and her eyes were full of longing for her husband.

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

Ye Changsheng smiled and hugged Shen Yuefeng into his arms, and greeted the other ladies one by one. After not seeing each other for a year, he was also full of concern for his family.

"Husband, have you worked hard along the way?"

A woman in an emerald green dress asked softly. She was Liu Ruyan, who was gentle and considerate.

"Not bad."

Ye Changsheng smiled and shook his head, "How about you guys, are you used to it here?"

"Everything is fine, Shengyu has taken good care of this place, and we are all at ease." Another lady, Su Yurou, said with a smile. She has a cheerful and lively personality and is Ye Changsheng's confidante.

After spending some time with his family, Ye Changsheng began to ask in detail about the construction situation over the past year.

Ye Shengyu reported in detail the construction progress of the camp, the mining of various resources, and the difficulties encountered and solutions.

Ye Changsheng listened very carefully and raised some questions and suggestions from time to time.

He knew that the next task would be more arduous. The construction of a fourth-level fairy city is by no means an easy task, and it requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

The next day, Ye Changsheng and his son Ye Shengyu came to the central warehouse of the camp, where various materials purchased by Ye Changsheng from Shengfeng City for the construction of the fairy city were stored.

This warehouse is huge, with a composite array for protection, and runes around it for reinforcement.

Ye Shengyu pointed to the door of the warehouse and said to Ye Changsheng: "Father, this is where the materials we brought back yesterday are stored. I asked my men to divide the warehouse into several large areas early in the morning, which are used to store metal spiritual materials, wood spiritual materials, auxiliary talisman paper and ink, spiritual stones and other miscellaneous materials. In this way, we can quickly dispatch them when we need them, but we haven't had time to classify them yet."

Ye Changsheng nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Well done. There are many types of materials. If you don't classify them in advance, you will inevitably be in a hurry when you create magic weapons or array devices in the future. Let's do it according to the plan you proposed first. If you find that any classification is not detailed enough later, it will not be too late to make adjustments."

"Yes, father."

Ye Changsheng then called the array masters and refiners together and explained the next work plan in detail.

"Everyone, building a fairy city requires a large number of magic weapons and arrays as basic components. These materials are already prepared, and it depends on your skills."

An old man with a serious face stood up. He was Zhang Xuanji, the most experienced third-level weapon refiner: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ye, we will do our best and live up to your trust."
