Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 39: Reclamation and Corvée
Time flies, spring goes and autumn comes.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

In Qingyun Market, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The prices of some commonly used talismans and elixirs are gradually increasing.

Chen Xuan was so absorbed in his cultivation that he didn't notice it.

The green spiritual tree transformed from the five internal organs grew more and more luxuriant and produced six fruits.

[Magic power: Clairvoyance], [Skill characteristics: seeing through illusions and understanding the true nature].

[Qingmu Changshenggong: Proficient (136/200)], [Skill Characteristics: Longevity].

[Spirit and Insect Taming Technique: Proficient (168/200)], [Skill Characteristics: Psychic].

[Qingling Sword Technique: Proficiency (122/200)], [Skill Characteristics: Perseverance].

[Vine Trapping Technique: Proficient (168/200)].

[Entanglement Talisman: Proficiency (188/200)].

Only the fruit of the divine eye was ripe, and the other five fruits were tiny, only the size of a little finger, and green.

In the past six months, Chen Xuan has studied hard and reaped a lot of rewards.

His schedule is full.

He practiced Qingmu Changsheng Gong for two hours, practiced swordsmanship for two hours, practiced controlling insects, making talismans, and trapping vines for one hour each, slept for four hours, and only had one hour to eat and relax.

The time I spend fighting with my wife is squeezed out from my sleep.

There are very few people as hardworking as me, even among famous and legitimate families.

Chen Xuan thought.

When Li Chengdao told him that the price of talismans had increased, Chen Xuan realized that the annual land reclamation labor service in Qingyun Market was about to begin.

"According to the regulations, if there are two or more newly relocated residents, one of them must apply for the position!"

"Under normal circumstances, the time required to reclaim land is three months, and the main enemies are various demonic birds, demonic beasts, and demonic insects. Private fighting between cultivators is strictly prohibited!"

"Even if you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, as long as you are not a sect disciple, you must perform corvée labor and obey the arrangements!"

In front of the notice board, an experienced cultivator was explaining the rules of the land reclamation labor service.

In the crowd, Chen Xuan listened for a while and then went to Yu Qingsong to inquire about the specific matters of land reclamation.

"Chen Xuan, you don't have to worry. The Xu family has said that you will be arranged in their land reclamation team."

Yu Qingsong said with a relaxed expression.

"I've experienced a lot of corvée labor in land reclamation. It's called corvée labor, but in fact it's just traveling. Everything is supported by a leader."

"Will the Xu family form their own pioneering team?"

"Of course. During the land reclamation, you can gain a lot of merits, and even exchange them for spiritual veins from the Jinyang Sect to build your own family!"

That's it!

The hills outside Qingyunfang City were originally wild wastelands. After valuable spiritual veins were discovered, the Jinyang Sect stepped in to reorganize them and then sold them to various cultivation families.

These Xiuzhen families became vassal peripheral forces of the Jinyang Sect.

"You're going too?"

"Of course. I'll follow you around and get some money. When the time comes, Brother Chen Xuan, please take good care of me, this old man!"

After completing the Su family's ant extermination mission in Feifeng Mountain, Yu Qingsong became aware of Chen Xuan's strength.

Although he is only at the fifth level of Qi training, he has many strange insects of the world in the middle stage of Qi training in his hands. Even if he faces a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, he can resist for a while.

In fact, he still underestimated Chen Xuan's strength.

"However, since this is a land reclamation, we still need to prepare the necessary things. Magical tools, talismans, elixirs, etc. Especially defensive ones."

"I understand. I'll get ready right away."

Chen Xuan found Li Chengdao.

I exchanged the fine winding talisman for some fine rejuvenation talismans, two pots of spirit wine, and a bottle of recovery pills.

"Master Jiang Fu, don't you need some defensive magic tools or talismans?"

"Forget it, there aren't many spirit stones left."

In fact, the main reason is that the price is too high.

It’s not that Li Chengdao deliberately raised the price, but the market price has been rising.

When he returned home, he told Jiang Yingxue about the conscription of people from the market town into labor service.

With the help of Chen Xuan and the help of the spirit gathering array, Jiang Yingxue successfully advanced to the third level of Qi training.

Tiger Girl also succeeded in drawing the Qi into her body and began to practice Qi slowly.

"Can you not go?"

"This is the rule of the Jinyang Sect. Not going will only cause more trouble. Those who refuse to perform corvée labor will be stripped of their status as residents of Tanshi and expelled from the market town."

Seeing that Jiang Yingxue was still a little worried, Chen Xuan smiled.

"I asked Yu Qingsong, and he said the Xu family would form their own pioneering team and specifically arranged for him and me to join. With the Xu family's support, there's no risk."

"But you'll be gone for three months, so hurry up."

Chen Xuan closed the door like a thief and took off his clothes.

……

Jin Yangzong acted quickly.

That night, two disciples from the sect came to the door.

"Class D, number 507, Chen Xuan, Jiang Yingxue, Yu Humei." "They're all here."

"Who among you will go to open up the wasteland?"

"I go."

"Cultivation?"

"Fifth level of Qi training."

"Do you have any special skills?"

"Insect Tamer."

Upon hearing this, the two sect disciples who had originally had stern faces immediately softened.

Registration will close soon.

The two of them bit their ears.

One of them walked up to Chen Xuan and said, "Chen Xuan, right? The young master of the Xu family has said hello and asked you to report to him."

"Thank you both adults for your care."

He casually handed over two spirit stones.

After the two sect disciples left, Chen Xuan closed the door.

He pulled Jiang Yingxue into the bedroom again.

"Didn't you just do it?"

"Again! Three months!"

"Can you handle it? You have to report tomorrow!"

"How dare you underestimate me! I'll show you how powerful I am!"

……

Early in the morning, Chen Xuan got up early.

When they arrived at the backyard, they put the psychic green snake in the deep well of the spiritual spring, the poisonous golden silkworm and the iron-backed mantis on the mutated purple maple tree into the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron.

Facing the spirit beehive, Chen Xuan hesitated.

The Jade-faced Queen Bee established a poisonous bee kingdom here, producing thousands of hybrid poisonous bees.

The honeycomb at this time is no longer what it was when it was first made, and its periphery has expanded a lot.

The first batch of more than twenty poisonous bees are the queen bee's personal soldiers and are also the most powerful.

Chen Xuan specially gave each of the poisonous bee soldiers a little bit of the insect spirit essence.

Through telepathic communication, the Jade-faced Queen Bee was instructed to recall all the hybrid poisonous bees to the hive.

Then, the entire beehive was taken into the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron.

Opening up new land, although joining the Xu family team, the risk is not great.

But one more strange insect means one more way to protect the road, which can always increase the sense of security.

Carry the Aoki sword on your back.

I counted the exquisite talismans and found that there were thirty-six entanglement talismans and twenty-one rejuvenation talismans.

It should be enough.

He also had a bottle of Qi-recovering pills and two pots of spirit wine on him.

He is an insect tamer, and his fighting skills are mainly based on controlling insects.

If you don't open your third eye, these two spiritual objects that can restore your magic power will be useless.

There is also a medium-grade spirit stone and more than thirty ordinary spirit stones in the storage bag.

In an emergency, it can be used to restore mana.

The sky is still bright.

Chen Xuan walked into the bedroom, kissed Jiang Yingxue gently, turned around and walked out.

At this time, figures of wandering cultivators appeared one after another on the streets of the market town, bustling towards the central square of the market town to report to the designated pioneering team.

Most of the independent cultivators had worried expressions on their faces, and when they saw someone they knew, they simply nodded silently as a greeting.

Following the instructions, Chen Xuan soon arrived in front of the Xu family team.

"Are you the Chen Xuan that Seventh Sister mentioned?"

A nobleman in a white robe with wide sleeves and a waist belt spoke to Chen Xuan.

"Chen Xuan meets Master Xu."

"Just follow the team and don't cause any trouble!"

This man's name is Xu Anjing, and he is Xu Jiali's cousin. He is said to have a cold personality and is not easy to get along with.

After Xu Jiali left, she asked Xu Anjing to take care of Chen Xuan and deliver the poisonous insect corpses three times a month on time.

But only there.

The two never met.

Chen Xuan was naturally too lazy to stick it on.

Thinking of Xu Jiali, Chen Xuan felt a little warm in his heart.

He is indeed a good friend.

He even thought of Chen Xuan having to open up wasteland and serve the Yao people.
