Chapter 504 Five Years (Part 2)

After that, Ye Changsheng personally took command and guided the slave cultivators in the construction from time to time based on the drawings in the jade slips.

He found that Li Yannian had reserved space for heightening the city wall at the beginning of the design, and had also taken this into consideration in the formation lines.

Although the heightening process is laborious, it is very efficient.

With their previous experience, the slave cultivators are more proficient and their cooperation is more tacit.

Huge stones were placed precisely at predetermined positions, and the height of the city wall increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While raising the city wall, Ye Changsheng did not forget another important task assigned by Li Yannian - to continue carving the formation.

He summoned all the monks in his family who were proficient in formations and asked them to follow the instructions on the drawings to carve more complex formations on the heightened city wall.

These formation patterns are like wandering spiritual snakes, densely spread on the surface of the city wall, intertwined with the formation patterns carved previously, forming a more powerful defense system.

Each formation requires a lot of spiritual power and energy to carve, but all formation masters are meticulous and do not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Time passes quietly in the busy construction.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Today's Ye Family Fairy City is no longer what it was back then.

The towering city walls are like sleeping dragons, winding and entrenching themselves on the earth.

The thirty-foot-high city wall is like an insurmountable chasm, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The ten-meter-wide city wall is enough to accommodate dozens of people walking side by side, and its strength is unimaginable.

Standing on the city wall, looking around, the rolling mountains seem small.

On the surface of the city wall, those mysterious formation lines emit a faint light, like breathing, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, accumulating powerful power all the time.

The sixteen huge city gates are like the open mouths of sixteen giant beasts, exuding a cold metallic luster.

The door body made of black ink stone is extremely hard and is covered with dense defensive formations. Any enemy who wants to force a breakthrough will pay a heavy price.

In the past five years, the development of Ye Family Fairy City has not been smooth sailing.

In the monster forest, some blind monsters occasionally break into the 500-mile radius of the Ye Family Fairy City.

However, the strength of these monsters is not strong, and the highest level is only second-level monsters, which cannot pose a threat to the fairy city at all.

Whenever a monster appears, Ye Changsheng's wife and sons go to destroy it.

After completing the reinforcement of the city wall and the formation of the formation, Ye Changsheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief. The construction of the city wall cost him a lot of effort and energy, but seeing the majestic and spectacular sight now, he felt that everything was worth it.

The next step is to build the interior of the fairy city.

Ye Changsheng summoned together the one thousand Foundation Establishment Nu cultivators who had been transferred to mine the mineral veins, and the thousand Foundation Establishment Nu cultivators who had previously participated in the construction of the city wall.

Two thousand foundation-building monks are a powerful force, enough to take on the heavy construction tasks within the fairy city.

He took out the jade slips left by Li Yannian and carefully studied the city planning and architectural drawings in them.

Li Yannian's design was very thorough, dividing the city into different functional areas, including residential area, commercial area, cultivation area, alchemy area, weapon refining area, medicine park, etc.

Ye Changsheng specifically asked Li Yannian to add the medicine garden. Ye Changsheng planned to build half of all the spiritual lands in the city into medicine gardens.

Although this place is next to the Monster Forest, there are countless elixirs inside the Monster Forest.

However, Ye Changsheng has a long-term view and believes that when these occupied areas become densely populated in the future, the elixirs in the Monster Forest will inevitably not be as abundant as before. At this time, the value of the elixir garden will be highlighted.

The construction of buildings in the city requires a large amount of high-grade spirit trees, as well as various defense and spirit gathering formations for residences and medicine gardens.

As early as when the city wall was being built, many large shops from outside came here after hearing the news, hoping to take a share of the cost of building materials for the future Ye Family Fairy City.

After months of careful screening and multiple rounds of negotiations, Ye Changsheng finally left behind five reputable and powerful timber dealers, as well as five shops with unique advantages in formation materials.

The first person who came to visit was a timber merchant named "Wanmulin".

Their shopkeeper is a middle-aged man named Zhao Dezhu who is slightly fat and always has a kind smile on his face.

He brought a batch of carefully selected wood samples, including the first-level spiritual wood green sandalwood that exudes a light fragrance, the second-level spiritual wood iron birch with fine texture, toughness and durability, and a small amount of precious third-level spiritual wood that exudes warm aura. The spiritual wood yew.

"Master Ye, I have long admired your name!"

Zhao Dezhu raised his hands and saluted with a very respectful attitude, "These are some samples from our Wanmulin. Please take a look."

Ye Changsheng picked up a piece of green sandalwood and looked at it carefully. The wood was delicate and exuded a faint aura. It was indeed a good building material.

He picked up another piece of iron birch, and it was heavy in his hand. When he struck it, it made a crisp sound, which showed how hard it was.

"Shopkeeper Zhao's wood is really good."

Ye Changsheng nodded in approval.

Seeing this, Zhao Dezhu's smile became even brighter: "That's natural. We, Wan Mulin, have been in the timber business for many years, and our reputation is guaranteed. This is our quotation, please see if it's suitable."

Ye Changsheng took the quotation and looked through it carefully. The first-level spiritual wood Qingtan wood was sold at 100 spiritual stones per square meter; the second-level spiritual wood Iron birch was sold at 2,000 spiritual stones per square meter; the third-level spiritual wood Zishan wood was sold at 20,000 spiritual stones per square meter.

"Manager Zhao, your quotation is a little high."

Ye Changsheng put down the quotation sheet and said calmly.

Zhao Dezhu hurriedly explained: "Master Ye, you don't know that the Monster Forest is now in turmoil, and the risk of cutting spiritual wood has greatly increased, and the cost has naturally increased."

"Understand."

Ye Changsheng nodded, "However, the number of spiritual woods I need is huge. I wonder if Manager Zhao can give me a preferential price?"

After some bargaining, Ye Changsheng finally reached an agreement with Wanmulin to purchase 1.5 million square meters of first-level spiritual wood Qingtan wood, 50,000 square meters of second-level spiritual wood Iron birch, and 1,000 square meters of third-level spiritual wood Zishan wood at a price slightly lower than the quoted price.

Following closely behind was a shop called "Senluo Wood Industry".

Their shopkeeper was a tall, thin man with a shrewd look, named Qian Youdao. The samples he brought were even richer, and there were even some rare fourth-level spiritual woods.

"Master Ye, the wood from our Senluo Wood Industry is definitely the best in the entire Longnan Immortal Cultivation World!"

Qian Youdao spoke with confidence and a hint of arrogance.
