Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1663 Timely: Jiang Chen, the Rakshasa Sect is attacking!
"That's true." The women nodded.

"I went to the market towns of Huangfeng Valley and Yanyue Sect and found out a lot of information. The Ancient Sword Sect, Luoyun Sect, and Baiqiao Academy of Yunmeng Mountain. The Ancient Sword Sect is the strongest of the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain, and its strength is incomparable to that of Luoyun Sect and Baiqiao Academy. In terms of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the Ancient Sword Sect has five Nascent Soul stage cultivators. At the same time, the Ancient Sword Sect are sword cultivators, and their strength is stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level."

After a pause, Jiang Chen continued, "Luoyun Sect is one of the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain. It only has two elders at the early Nascent Soul stage, Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo, and their supernatural abilities are not very strong. Baiqiao Academy is also one of the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain. It has three early Nascent Soul cultivators: the Fiery Old Monster, a cultivator surnamed Feng, and a cultivator surnamed Ding. Although there are more Nascent Soul cultivators, excluding special figures like Han Li, early Nascent Soul cultivators are not as strong as mid-Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Nascent Soul stage? What realm does that correspond to in our world?" Zhao Rong'an asked.

"In the Tiannan Continent, the Core Formation stage is equivalent to the Martial King, Martial Emperor, and Martial God realms in our Jiang family. The Nascent Soul stage is equivalent to the Myriad Manifestations realm, Giant Spirit realm, and Profound Realm," Jiang Chen explained.

The Giant Spirit Realm and the Profound Realm are realms following the Myriad Manifestations Realm, but Jiang Chen doesn't know the specifics yet.

"So, our strength is neither too great nor too weak," Grace said.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded.

“I heard that the average lifespan of a Core Formation cultivator in the Tiannan Continent is 500 years, while our Martial King realm is 1000, and the Martial God realm is 10,000. Is it because our cultivation is different from these cultivators?” Grace said.

"There might be some differences."

Jiang Chen didn't quite understand the specifics, but he did have a guess: "Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, and this has been the case from the beginning, even for those who cultivate the body. But the martial arts we cultivate are from the inside out. So I guess that our cultivation might have an extra step that affects the body and increases lifespan."

Although these were Jiang Chen's guesses, he felt that even if his guesses were inaccurate, they were still related.

This is the difference between the martial arts world and the cultivation world.

In terms of the core of cultivation and the source of power, martial arts cultivation focuses on the ultimate development of physical potential, improving combat skills through the tempering of qi and blood and the honing of martial arts techniques. The source of power mainly depends on the martial artist's own physique and acquired cultivation. Immortal cultivation, on the other hand, emphasizes the understanding of spiritual realm and the rules of the universe. It pursues longevity and ascension by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refining true essence or inner core. The source of power depends more on the combination of external environment (such as the concentration of spiritual energy) and internal spiritual cultivation.

However, the Jiang family's path is different from others.

Therefore, the specific steps to take next will need to be determined gradually.

"Jiang Chen, can you use the magical artifact you bought?" Pei Yin asked.

"Look, this is the Qingfeng Sword I bought at the Huangfeng Valley Market." Jiang Chen took out a sword.

In "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality", magic treasures are roughly divided into eleven levels: magic tools, talisman treasures and true treasures, fragments of magic treasures, magic treasures, natal magic treasures, ancient treasures, imitations of Tongtian spiritual treasures, Tongtian spiritual treasures, Xuantian sacred artifacts, Xuantian fragments, and Xuantian treasures.

Jiang Chen didn't know how these weapons were differentiated from the Jiang family's weapons, but they would have to figure it out themselves.

"This sword is quite imposing. It's different from the weapons we use, only the forging method is different, but it can also be driven by true essence." Jiang Chen felt that this might be one of the benefits of the merged world. There weren't many changes in the weapons; only the names, titles, and levels were different.

Jiang Chen flicked his wrist, and the sword light on the Qingfeng sword flashed.

“In this way, even if we disguise ourselves as cultivators, no one will notice,” Pei Yin said.

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

"By the way, Jiang Chen, we've already inquired about the spiritual plants and birds..." Bai Kao'er recounted the spiritual plants and birds she had learned about from the rogue cultivators in Chenzhou City.

"I also inquired about spiritual plants and birds in the Huangfeng Valley Market and the Yanyue Sect Market. I also bought some spirit beast bags," Jiang Chen said.

"A spirit beast pouch?" Bai Kao'er and the others were slightly taken aback.

"Yes, it's the spirit beast pouch."

Jiang Chen explained, "The spirit beast pouch functions the same as the beast taming spirit tablet. The difference is that the beast taming spirit tablet can only authenticate one exclusive spirit beast, while the spirit beast pouch is like a storage bag, which can hold spirit beasts. However, it can be used by using spiritual power (divine sense), and it can also be traded between two people."

The Beast Taming Spirit Token was obtained by Jiang Chen through daily check-ins.

The Beast Taming Spirit Token, like Jiang Chen's spatial ring, Shi Yi and others' spatial bracelets, Zhong Xiaoqin and others' spatial bags, and Jiang Meili and others' spatial jade pendants, is exclusive to the Jiang family.

The spirit beast pouch can be given to others to use once the spiritual power (divine consciousness) is erased.

"Spirit Beast Bags...doesn't that mean you can hold as many spirit beasts as you have a lot of spirit beast bags?" Bai Kao'er had a Beast Taming Spirit Token, and upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, she immediately understood what he meant.

"That's the theory."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I didn't buy many spirit beast bags this time. I only bought some spirit chickens and spirit ducks... I plan to take them to Jiangzhou City to raise. Also, I'll check out the Spirit Beast Mountain Market when I have time; maybe I can buy some good stuff there."

"Spirit beast pouches should be available for sale in the eastern market of Chenzhou City, right?" Grace said.

"Yes, but the spirit beast pouch is different from our Jiang family's beast taming spirit tablet. It comes in different sizes and prices." Jiang Chen only knew the basic knowledge from the TV series "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

However, these basic facts are only partially revealed in "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality." The Fourth World, however, will constitute a complete world.

"I will leave behind a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. You can buy any spirit beast pouches or storage bags you see," Jiang Chen said to Bai Kao'er and the others.

The storage bags you get from previous check-ins are similar to those in the Tiannan Continent.

However, even so, Jiang Chen still felt it wasn't enough.

If possible, every member of the Jiang family should have a storage bag.

Even if not much is used, it can be stored in the Daming Palace.

"Okay," Bai Kao'er and the others replied.

At this moment, Jiang Chen and Bai Kao'er and the others talked for a long time.

After all, Bai Kao'er and the others would be staying in Tiannan Continent for a long time, and their lack of understanding of Tiannan Continent would not be conducive to their future development.

After dark, Jiang Chen took Bai Kao'er and the others to start cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique.

Because Jiang Chen refined a million-year-old Vermilion Fruit, his strength increased significantly. After cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique, Bai Kao'er and the others' strength will also increase significantly.

The next day, Jiang Chen returned to Jiangzhou City and sent a message on the family communication platform, asking the women to come and collect cultivation resources.

“My lord, we have found a place to build an artificial lake,” Nie Xingchen said to Jiang Chen.

“Okay, let’s go take a look.” Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate.

Soon, Jiang Chen, Nie Xingchen, and the others left Jiangzhou City, flew west across the oasis, and arrived in a desert.

“Husband, look over there.” Nie Xingchen said from a distance, “That desert is a basin. We had people explore it, and it can be excavated into an artificial lake.”

"This area is quite large, isn't it?" Jiang Chen looked around.

“Approximately 23 square kilometers,” Nie Xingchen said.

“23 square kilometers? That’s about half the size of Jiangzhou City.” Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

“It’s 100 kilometers from here to Jiangzhou, and 180 kilometers from Jiangzhou city,” Nie Xingchen said.

Jiangzhou is the oasis where Jiangzhou City is located.

“Husband, there’s a small basin nearby. We can move this sand there first,” Nie Xingchen said, pointing to the small basin.

The main component of desert sand is silicon dioxide, which is a core raw material for glass production.

In Jiangzhou City, there are several glass workshops.

The glass produced by these glass workshops is shipped to all parts of the world for sale.

"Let's do it here then." Jiang Chen used his mental power to envelop the basin in front of him.

next moment.

Everything in the basin was imprinted in my mind.

"go."

Jiang Chen flew to the sky above the basin, then stretched out his hand and clenched it tightly.

boom!
A massive cloud of sand flew up under Jiang Chen's control.

The sand flew like a giant dragon towards the basin next to it.

"Is this the power of the Martial God Realm?" Nie Xingchen and the others were dumbfounded.

"so amazing."

"This is a revolutionary approach."

Seeing this scene, the women's determination to become stronger grew even stronger.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen landed next to Nie Xingchen and the others.

"Now it's up to the Eagle Armor Guards," Jiang Chen said.

"Thanks to what you just did, the entire project can be shortened by at least one month," Nie Xingchen said.

"That would be best. Otherwise, if there are a few more sandstorms, we'll probably have to spend even more time on it." Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'll install a spiritual vein down there, which might speed up the greening process."

“The spiritual energy generated by the spiritual veins is beneficial to plant growth, which can accelerate the formation of an oasis,” Song Xue said.

"Well, how are the preparations for the various saplings going?" Jiang Chen asked.

“They’ve already been shipped from various continents,” Bai Canlan said.

Jiangzhou City is the Jiang family's base in the Fourth World, so all other continents serve the Jiang family's development.

"That's good." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I'll recover first, and then reinforce the basin where the sand was moved to prevent sandstorms from forming." "Okay, you recover first, leave the rest to us," Nie Xingchen said.

Jiang Chen nodded and flew back to Jiangzhou City.

When Jiang Chen last came to the Fourth World, he was somewhat secretive about flying through the air and flying on a sword, but he wouldn't be now.

Given this opportunity, there's no need to hide it.

As the Jiang family's stronghold, Jiangzhou City will inevitably be filled with powerful figures in the future.

So there's no need to hide it now.

Upon arriving in Jiangzhou City, Jiang Chen met a group of women from other continents.

Jiang Chen discussed the situation on each continent with the women.

Especially the Nine Provinces Continent and the Dou Qi Continent.

Three days later, Jiang Chen returned to that basin.

At this time, large swathes of sand in the basin were being removed.

A tall embankment was built around it using cement and huge stones.

However, Jiang Chen still reinforced the dam using a method similar to petrification.

"almost."

Jiang Chen's figure flashed and appeared in the sky above the basin.

next moment.

Under Jiang Chen's control, a second-tier low-grade spiritual vein was placed in the basin.

"Rain-Sending Talisman".

Jiang Chen flicked his wrist, and a rain-generating talisman flew out.

next moment.

Dark clouds gathered over the basin, and a torrential downpour began in an instant.

Jiang Chen's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, appearing beside Nie Xingchen and the others on the dam.

"This is a rain-making talisman? It's truly amazing," Nie Xingchen said, feeling the raindrops.

“I’ve prepared three hundred rain-making talismans, but I don’t know if they can fill this artificial lake,” Jiang Chen said.

"How long does the rain-summoning talisman last?" Song Xue asked.

"Two hours." The rain-making talisman that Jiang Chen took out was of perfect quality, which is why it lasted for two hours.

"Judging by the intensity of the rain, it's almost enough, if not perfect." Nie Xingchen thought for a moment and asked, "However, can we use the rain-summoning talismans together?"

"Use them together? I haven't tried it, so I really don't know. But I can give it a try." Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then took out a rain-making talisman and used it.

Rumble!
The clouds in the sky grew thicker.

"The rain is getting heavier," Chen Xuanxuan said.

"It has grown larger. It seems that, like other talismans, it can be used in combination." If it was a light rain just now, it's a downpour now. Since it's effective, Jiang Chen naturally won't let it go so easily.

At that moment, Jiang Chen used two more rain-making talismans.

In an instant, the downpour turned into a torrential downpour.

Fortunately, the basin that was dug out was big enough; otherwise, the rain would have fallen elsewhere.

"Xuanxuan, these rain-making talismans are for you to use. I'll first cast a growth-promoting spell on the trees on the dam." Jiang Chen took out the remaining rain-making talismans from his spatial ring and handed them to Chen Xuanxuan.

"Leave it to me." Chen Xuanxuan found casting the rain-making talisman quite interesting.

After handing the rain-making talisman to Chen Xuanxuan, Jiang Chen used a growth-promoting technique on the newly planted trees on the dam.

The Growth-Enhancing Technique, as the name suggests, is the technique of gathering spiritual energy to accelerate the growth of plants.

Jiang Chen's current use of growth-inducing techniques is essentially reinforcing a dam.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen planted the thorn vine seeds he bought from the Southern Continent next to the dam.

Under the growth-promoting technique, the thorn vine quickly took root, sprouted, and grew.

After dark, Jiang Chen flew back to Jiangzhou City, exhausted.

"Husband, are you alright?" Song Xihu asked.

"It's nothing, I just used up my true energy. I'll recover in a bit," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

"How is the artificial lake doing now?" Song Xihu asked.

"The rain-summoning talisman is working well..." Jiang Chen explained the situation of the artificial lake: "We can use up the rain-summoning talisman tomorrow. The specifics will depend on the situation. However, even if the water volume is insufficient, we can still use the rain-summoning talisman in the future."

In the desert, water is the most important resource.

The oasis where Jiangzhou is located covers only 1,500 square kilometers, and its water resources mainly rely on the Lanshu River and its tributary, the Heihe River. These two rivers are the core water sources for maintaining the oasis's ecology and agricultural irrigation.

The Lanshu River, considered the mother river of China, has a main stream that is 5670 kilometers long. It flows southeast from the central part of the Tagore Desert, emptying into the sea between the Warring States period continent and the Five Continents. The Heihe River, its largest tributary, is 690 kilometers long.

When building Jiangzhou City, Jiang Chen chose a location 20 kilometers away from Lanshuhe.

Jiangzhou City is in the south, and Lanshu River is in the north.

The Heihe River is located to the east of Jiangzhou City.

After the construction of Jiangzhou City was completed, Jiang Chen diverted the Lanshu River water into the city.

Jiangzhou City was built according to the Sui and Tang Dynasty Luoyang City. However, the Sui and Tang Dynasty Luoyang City had four main rivers: Luohe River, Yihe River, Chanhe River, and Jianhe River. Jiangzhou City did not have these natural rivers, so Jiang Chen chose to build artificial canals.

In addition, there is also Jiuzhou Pond in Jiangzhou City.

Jiuzhou Pond was the forbidden garden of the Ziwei City. Located in the northwest of the palace city, it is approximately 205 meters long from east to west and 130 meters wide from north to south. Its inlet is on the north side. The main canal flows past the south wall of Taoguang Garden and then splits into two branches, each 4-5 meters wide, flowing south into Jiuzhou Pond. The outlet is located in the southeast corner of the pond. In the southwest of the pond, 7 meters north of the pond bank, two rows of large east-west oriented, north-south parallel corridor buildings, each 43.5 meters long, were discovered. The corridors are connected by open and covered waterways and brick-built passageways. Five oval or nearly circular islets were discovered within Jiuzhou Pond, and the remains of pavilions were found on three of these islets.

The Jiuzhou Pond has a water area of ​​139250 square meters, accounting for two-fifths of the western part of the city. The large water surface can create the effect of "embracing thousands of acres of vast ocean and capturing the splendor of all four seasons".

However, the depth of the Jiuzhou Pond in Luoyang during the Sui and Tang dynasties was only about one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

However, in order to ensure that Jiangzhou City had enough water, the Jiuzhou Pond was deepened by two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters). As a result, the Jiuzhou Pond reached a depth of ten meters.

In addition, Jiang Chen dug a large number of wells in Jiangzhou City.

It can be said that in order to ensure that Jiangzhou City had enough water, the water level of the Lanshu River initially dropped by several meters. It took a full two years to recover.

“If this artificial lake is successful, we can also dig artificial lakes in other places,” Song Xue said.

“Yes, that’s what I think too.” Jiang Chen nodded.

If four artificial lakes were dug in the four cardinal directions of Jiangzhou, the green coverage of Jiangzhou could be increased several times over.

Jiang Chen possesses five low-grade, third-tier spiritual veins.

Jiang Chen placed all five third-tier low-grade spiritual veins in the imperial palace of Jiangzhou City.

With these five third-grade low-level spiritual veins, Jiangzhou City now has nine spiritual veins, not counting the second-grade low-level spiritual veins previously placed in the artificial lake.

It's a pity that the Jiang family has too few spiritual veins now, otherwise he would have placed more.

After eating the meal made with spirit rice and spirit birds, Jiang Chen began to refine it.

Then, Jiang Chen and Nie Xingchen and the others began to cultivate the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique.

When Jiang Chen woke up the next day, he was full of energy and looked radiant.

"This is life."

"Cool."

Previously, Jiang Chen could cultivate the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique with seven or eight wives in one night; now he can cultivate it with twelve wives at once.

"The shortage of cultivation resources has now been alleviated."

"We should also go and see other places."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen used the family teleportation talisman to arrive at Haiyang City in the Black Corner Region of the Dou Qi Continent.

"Jiang Chen, you've finally arrived."

Shi Yi was delighted to see Jiang Chen and quickly walked over: "If you hadn't come, I was going to send you a message."

"Is it urgent? Is it about the Rakshasa Sect?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.
