Chapter 508 Purchasing puppets

Xu Changchun waved his hand, his face showing a trace of fatigue, but his eyes were full of pride: "Lord Ye, you are too polite. This is my duty."

Next, Xu Changchun spent several days arranging the formation to guide the earth fire, guiding the gentle earth fire power to the alchemy rooms and weapon refining rooms in various parts of Yejia Xiancheng.

When the last ray of earth fire was successfully introduced into the weapon refining workshop, Ye Changsheng finally showed a gratified smile.

He immediately ordered people to prepare a generous thank-you gift and rewarded Xu Changchun heavily.

Xu Changchun stayed in Yejia Xiancheng for a few days, then declined Ye Changsheng's request to stay and left.

After seeing Xu Changchun off, Ye Changsheng immediately began to count the number of alchemy rooms and weapon refining rooms in Yejia Xiancheng.

After these years of development, the scale of Yejia Xiancheng has expanded a lot.

There are twenty fourth-level weapon refining rooms, eighty third-level weapon refining rooms, and as many as five hundred second-level weapon refiners' workshops.

There are thirty fourth-level alchemy rooms, one hundred and twenty third-level alchemy rooms, and more than one thousand second-level alchemists' alchemy rooms.

Seeing such a large scale of alchemy and refining, everyone in the Ye family was excited. They knew that with the blessing of the earth fire, these alchemy and refining rooms would continuously bring huge wealth to the Ye family.

Ye Changsheng then turned his attention to the planned spiritual medicine gardens in the fairy city.

Today, there are a total of 500 second-level spiritual medicine gardens, each of which is about 200 acres.

There are 60 third-level spiritual medicine gardens, each of which is also 200 acres.

There are four fourth-level spiritual medicine gardens, each of which is also 200 acres.

It seems that these spiritual medicine gardens occupy a lot of land, but this is only a small corner of the entire fairy city.

After all, the overall area of ​​the fairy city is several million acres.

The reason why Ye Changsheng built so many spiritual medicine gardens is because he knew that with sufficient spiritual medicines and abundant earth fire resources, the cost of refining pills in the Ye family fairy city would be greatly reduced, thus having a huge price advantage in the market.

The price advantage will attract more immortal cultivators to settle down, and will also attract a large number of independent cultivators and immortal cultivators from various forces to buy elixirs and magic tools.

These people come to Yejia Xiancheng, in addition to consumption, more importantly, they will rent caves.

The rental of caves is the real revenue of Yejia Xiancheng.

After Ye Changsheng sent Xu Changchun away, the entire Yejia Xiancheng entered a stage of intensive construction and planning.

The two major systems of alchemy and refining have been blessed by the earth fire. At present, the resources are abundant and the momentum is strong.

But he knows in his heart that if the immortal city really wants to become a stable foundation, alchemy and refining are far from enough. More cultivators and mortals must be willing to live here for a long time.

For this, the most critical step is to build a cave with a reasonable layout and rich spiritual energy, and equip it with a complete city defense system.

Yejia Xiancheng is located on the fourth-level spiritual vein. After years of expansion and spiritual energy dispatch, several spiritual vein branches have been formed around it.

At the intersection of these spiritual vein branches and the spiritual medicine garden, he planned out different levels of cultivator caves to meet the needs of cultivators of different realms and financial resources.

After all, if you want to attract real high-level cultivators to settle in, you must have high-level spiritual veins to support them.

For the large number of low-level cultivators, as long as they can have a basic supply of spiritual energy and be close to the downtown and shops, they can be satisfied.

"Father, there are a total of 240 fourth-level caves, all concentrated near the main vein, and not far from the city lord's mansion of our Ye family fairy city."

Ye Shengyu pointed to the latest statistics in the jade slip and reported to Ye Changsheng, "More than 3,000 third-level caves have been built, and more than 50,000 second-level caves are distributed in the inner and outer rings of the fairy city. There are also various shops, more than 20,000 of which have been built, mostly in the main city streets and major market areas."

Ye Changsheng glanced at the numbers on the jade slip and was quite satisfied.

He handed the jade slip back to Zhou Lin and said calmly: "That's right. Fourth-level caves cannot be built indiscriminately. The recovery speed of the spiritual vein is limited, and some room must be left.

We must maintain this fourth-level spiritual vein and let it release spiritual energy continuously.

Those third-level and second-level caves can be built more. After all, we also need more ordinary cultivators to settle down. If the fairy city wants to prosper, it cannot lack the bustle of the lower-level cultivators."

Ye Shengyu responded with admiration: "Father is wise."

For the fairy city, shops are also indispensable.

They can provide daily cultivation resources such as utensils, spiritual medicines, pills, and talismans for foreign cultivators, and can also create a prosperous scene in the city, thereby further attracting more people to come.

Ye Changsheng said to himself: "Spiritual medicine, elixir, magic weapon... If these three roads are opened, it will definitely attract enough cultivators to move in, and the annual income of the fairy city will definitely grow steadily.

These are the foundations of the Ye family in the future.

Just when Ye Changsheng was full of confidence, he also clearly realized that with the expansion of the scale of the fairy city, it means that the city wall will be longer and the difficulty of defense will increase accordingly. If we only rely on hiring cultivators to patrol, the daily expenses will be huge, and once there is a shortage of manpower, it is easy to have defense loopholes.

You know, the fairy city is so large that the flow of cultivators, merchants, and mortals in and out is extremely frequent. If there is no sufficient defense force, once hostile forces sneak in or demon cultivators attack, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Father, five puppet shops have come to us recently, hoping to provide us with high-level puppets for city defense arrangements."

Ye Shengyu brought the news.

Ye Changsheng nodded slightly: "Five puppet shops? It seems that our fairy city has grown faster than I expected."

Ye Shengyu replied: "Father, the leading one is 'Qianyuan Puppet Shop', which is quite famous in puppet refining. There are also 'Iron Arms Shengong Pavilion', 'Nine Spiral Puppet House', 'Baoqifang', and a 'Jinjiatang' from Xuanwu Domain. These five forces are good at their own specialties. Among them, 'Qianyuan Puppet Shop' is the most famous. It is said that it can even refine fourth-level puppets, but the price is expensive."

Ye Changsheng smiled: "This is expected. Then please ask the heads of each of them to sit in the City Lord's Mansion, and we will slowly choose."

The next day, the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Changsheng sat in the main seat, with a graceful demeanor, and beside him were several sons of the Ye family.

The five people below took their seats, with their carefully prepared puppet atlases and quotation books in front of them.

Sitting on the far left is Qi Wu, the head of "Qianyuan Puppet Shop". He is over sixty years old, thin, and has a stern face. You can tell at a glance that he is a strict and rigid person.

"City Lord, our Qianyuan Puppet Shop has inherited the ancient true teachings, and the puppets we refine are strong and flexible. Especially the third-level puppets, which can fight against ordinary purple mansion cultivators head-on.

If you are interested in the fourth-level puppet, we can also customize it.
