Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Creating a spiritual vein from scratch requires more spirit stones and time to mature. A spiritual vein that is directly migrated like this can have its grade increased more quickly, at least when it is of a lower grade.

"How are the tasks assigned to the disciples progressing?" With the matter of the spiritual veins now settled, Li Zhirui began to inquire about several other matters.

"It's unclear at the moment; no one has returned yet."

“Then I’ll go take a look. You should prepare the spirit stones needed for the spiritual vein first, and then hand them over to the disciples to complete the task.”

In the treasure vault at that time, in addition to a large number of spiritual items, there were also mountains of spirit stones, the quantity of which even surprised Li Zhirui.

Therefore, the spirit stones consumed to upgrade the grade of a spirit vein are just a drop in the ocean.

"Ok."

Wan Sheng first left Dengxian Mountain to check the condition of the migrating spiritual veins. After calculating how many spirit stones would be needed to upgrade these spiritual veins to the eighth rank, he returned to the mountain gate and began to count the spirit stones.

On the other side, Li Zhirui first headed south, and soon he found the group of disciples who were building the market.

He didn't show himself immediately, but instead hid to the side, intending to observe them carefully.

After all, they hadn't had much contact before and didn't know much about each other, so this was a good opportunity.

"Senior Brother Zhang, why do the sect leader and elders make us do such trivial things? Isn't this taking up our cultivation time?" A Mahayana disciple put down a polished boulder from the city wall and couldn't help but complain.

"Yes, and with the test just around the corner, shouldn't we complete the test first before doing anything else?"

These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many disciples, who began to vent their frustrations.

"The sect leader and elders naturally have their own plans, and perhaps the construction process is also part of the test?"

The respected senior brother Zhang spoke calmly, his hands moving without stopping, completely unaffected by their presence.

"As for your concerns? If everyone works diligently, it won't take much time to complete the task."

Li Zhirui could tell that his composure was genuine and not an act, so he nodded slightly. Putting everything else aside, this composure was superior to that of the disciples in front of him.

“What Senior Brother Zhang said makes a lot of sense; we were just ignorant.”

The other disciples were influenced by him and became more serious and earnest, which greatly accelerated the construction speed of the market.

Li Zhirui did not appear. After watching for a while, he turned and flew towards the location of another group of disciples.

He arrived at his destination in less than half an hour, but he couldn't help but frown at the first sight of it.

Compared to the already visible market town, the construction of the immortal city has not even begun!
Most of the disciples split into two groups, each standing behind the loose immortal disciples, facing each other and refusing to give way, seemingly vying for leadership.

However, some disciples were not nearby.

"Junior Brother Liu, knowing full well that your plan is unsuitable, do you still insist on it and refuse to back down?"

Junior Brother Liu's face darkened. He said, "Who said there's a problem with my construction plan? Isn't that all your fault? But we're all outer disciples, what right do you have to judge my plan?"

"Ugh!"

The cultivator sighed and said with a worried expression, "If this continues, it will ruin the sect's important affairs. Junior Brother Liu, how do you plan to explain this to the sect leader and elders?"

"What does this have to do with me? Isn't the reason why the Immortal City can't be built because of you, Senior Brother He?"

A mocking look appeared on Liu's face. No longer caring about being careless, he said coldly, "If it weren't for Senior Brother He deliberately damaging the foundation and almost burying Junior Brother Gao and the others underground, would they have left so easily?"

"Senior brother, aren't you afraid they'll return to the sect and report this to the sect leader and elders? Or do you already have a foolproof plan, making it impossible for them to return to the sect?"

Senior Brother He seemed to have had a secret exposed. His face stiffened, and his expression became somewhat unnatural. He scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! The foundation suddenly collapsed. It's clearly because you, Junior Brother, didn't check properly beforehand and choose a suitable location. What does it have to do with me!"

"Hmph! Whether you did it or not, you know in your heart. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place!"

"Judging by the time, Junior Brother Gao and the others should be arriving at the mountain gate by now."

Li Zhirui, who was hiding to the side, now had an extremely ugly expression. With his sharp eyesight, how could he not tell who was telling the truth and who was lying?

He allows competition among his disciples, and even appreciates it, because he sees it as a good thing that can help them improve.

But this must be done within a reasonable and aboveboard framework, not like that Senior Brother He, who, for his own selfish desires, not only made various underhanded moves but also secretly murdered his fellow disciples!
"enough!"

Li Zhirui didn't want to listen anymore. Although he only felt a little anger, it put tremendous pressure on all the disciples present.

The air nearby seemed to have frozen, and not a sound could be heard.

But all the disciples were shocked to see the sect leader who had suddenly arrived. They never expected to see him at this time, and no one knew how long he had stayed.

He heard at least that conversation.

"If the truth is found later, and it is as you just said, the sect will strip you of your cultivation and throw you into the dungeon!"

He Songzhi collapsed to the ground as if his bones had been removed, pleading loudly, "Sect Leader, spare me! I didn't do those things, and I wouldn't dare to do anything that would harm the sect's interests or harm my fellow disciples..."

His weeping and wailing made him seem as if he had suffered a great injustice and grievance, but no matter how well he disguised himself, he could not fool Li Zhirui's eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, the man was rendered speechless and unable to move.

Li Zhirui stopped looking at He Songzhi, whose face was ashen, and coldly looked at the disciples behind him, saying, "And you! Anyone involved in this matter will be punished as a menial disciple, forced to work day and night, and never allowed to leave the mountain gate for the rest of your lives!"

"And all disciples! You will have another half month. If you fail to complete the Immortal City within the deadline, thirty points will be deducted from your selection test!"

In fact, they don't have a clear understanding of this score, because even now, they still don't know what the test content or evaluation criteria are.

But no one wants to lose thirty points right at the start of the test.

What if they were just one or two points short of becoming inner disciples?
Therefore, their previous conflicts vanished instantly, and they began to work together to build the immortal city, striving to complete it within the stipulated time.

Not long after, Wan Sheng also arrived at this place.

"Sect Leader, it was my negligence in teaching the disciples that led to such a disciple being cultivated." As soon as it arrived, it saw the disciple who had been imprisoned and immediately realized that Li Zhirui already knew what had happened. Its reaction was to admit its mistake.

"It has nothing to do with you. It's their impure intentions that lead them to use crooked and evil means to achieve their own goals."

Li Zhirui shook his head, realizing that Wan Sheng couldn't be blamed for this, and then asked, "How are those disciples? Were they injured?"

"When they returned to the mountain gate, they deliberately took a detour, so they all returned safely. I have already arranged for them to take charge of the spiritual vein advancement."

"It's good that you're alright." He didn't want his disciple, whom he had painstakingly trained, to die in the schemes and plots of his fellow disciples.

"You go back and guard the mountain gate first. I can handle things here."

There are no disciples stationed on Mount Dengxian now, so if any ill-intentioned cultivators approach and do something, they won't even know.

"it is good."

As if suddenly remembering something, Li Zhirui added, "On the way back, check on how the construction of the southern market is going."

With the concerted efforts of hundreds of disciples, the Immortal City is nearing completion. Logically, the market, which was completed earlier, should already be finished.

Wan Sheng nodded and flew away.

A few days later, the Immortal City was successfully built just before the deadline!
On the once flat land, a majestic immortal city, two zhang high and covering an area of ​​fifty li, has appeared. After entering through the four city gates, the first thing you see is a wide avenue, with shops built on both sides of the road.

If you go further in, you'll see an intersection that leads to other areas of the city, which are laid out in a similar way.

In addition, some space is reserved for independent cultivators to set up stalls and sell spiritual items, which is also a way to increase popularity.

In the center of the city, besides a square, stands a ten-zhang-tall city lord's mansion!

The disciples who will be stationed here in the future will live in the mansion and guard and maintain the order of the immortal city.

Li Zhirui took out a plaque with four large characters already written on it: Wanbao Immortal City!
The main purpose is to express that there are many spiritual creatures in the immortal city, so as to attract more cultivators to come.

Everything was ready; all that remained was to display the spiritual objects and attract shops and monks.

To achieve this goal, we mainly need to find a way to promote it and let more cultivators know about it first.

Therefore, in addition to arranging for his disciples to publicize the matter, Li Zhirui also decided to hold a grand auction! Ideally, it would attract the attention of all the cultivators in Mingzhou.

Therefore, we need to carefully select the items for auction, including both precious spiritual objects that can command attention and highly sought-after low-level spiritual objects.

The former is easy to solve, because the Tongtian Sect's treasury is full of such spiritual items; you can just choose a few.

However, the latter, spiritual items that are popular with most cultivators, do not exist in the treasure vault, and Li Zhirui has to find a way to solve the problem himself.

His idea was to use his expertise in elixirs!
He chose three of the most commonly used pills to increase mana, namely sixth-order, eighth-order, and loose immortal-order pills. There was no need to modify the pill formulas. As long as they were made by Li Zhirui, the quality would not be bad.

However, in order to make sure that the Immortal City and the market used the signature spiritual items, he still spent some time slightly modifying these three pill formulas, increasing their efficacy by 10% or 20%.

Improving the elixir formula might be extremely difficult for others, but for him, it was a piece of cake and didn't take much time at all.

This shows how profound his understanding of alchemy was.

Although it may only be one or two tenths of the price, it is enough to attract the fervent pursuit of cultivators if the price remains unchanged.

After all, buying one bottle of pills is equivalent to buying twelve pills originally. For some cultivators who are short of money, is there any better pill than this?

……

at the same time.

News of the newly established immortal city and market of the Tongtian Sect began to circulate in the surrounding cultivation world, and it aroused a lot of discussion among cultivators.

"Have you heard? The Tongtian Sect has built a celestial city and market, and they're making a big fuss about it, trying to lure us there."

Why would the Tongtian Sect suddenly make such a big move?

"I don't know what the Tongtian Sect is thinking. There are no suitable training grounds in Liang Kingdom. Even if they can attract a group of cultivators at first, they will eventually leave."

The reason they were willing to stay in a certain place was because it was a place where they could obtain spiritual items and gain experience.

Without a place to train, wouldn't they have to travel thousands of miles to other places to train, which would take an unknown amount of time and is not worthwhile?

“Really? If you look at the list of all the items to be auctioned by the Tongtian Sect, you’ll definitely change your mind,” a cultivator suddenly said.

"Oh?"

These words immediately attracted the attention of even more cultivators.

"I wonder if you could show it to us so we can broaden our horizons?"

The cultivator used his magic to project the contents of the list, making it visible to all the cultivators.

"hiss!"

When they saw the first item up for auction, they couldn't help but gasp in shock, unable to believe their eyes.

"The Eternal Bright Flower, a Mystic Immortal-level spiritual artifact!"

"If I remember correctly, this should be one of the main ingredients of the Ascension Golden Pill, right?"

The Ascension Golden Pill is an extremely precious breakthrough pill that can increase the probability of a Celestial Immortal cultivator breaking through to the Profound Immortal realm by 10% to 20%.

"The Tongtian Sect is really generous, actually willing to bring out such a treasured item for auction."

But as they continued reading, they discovered that the next few spiritual items were no less precious; each one would be a treasure that countless cultivators would fight over.

"However, as precious as these spiritual items are, there's no way to keep the cultivators in the newly built immortal city and market of the Tongtian Sect, is there?"

"Keep reading and you'll see why," the cultivator said, offering no further explanation but letting everyone observe for themselves.

Soon, some cultivators discovered the problem.

"Spirit-Enhancing Pills of the sixth and eighth tiers, and even those of the Loose Immortal tier, with effects increased by one or two-tenths?!"

The cultivator's eyes gleamed as he read aloud, "The Tongtian Sect has mastered the improved pill formula and can refine it on a large scale."

"However, to qualify for purchase, one must reside in either Baibao Market or Wanbao Immortal City..."

"The Tongtian Sect is playing a clever bundling game!"

However, it must be admitted that with these three types of elixirs, these two immortal cities and markets need not worry about not being able to continue. (End of this chapter)
