Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

[Did the Great Emperor defy public opinion and spend trillions of spirit stones to send Master Ma Ke to explore new spiritual energy planets in order to find an opportunity to break through to the Integration Stage? Does Qiyuan Star hold a hidden opportunity to break through to the Integration Stage?]

The Emperor, possessing countless resources of the empire, still couldn't break through the limits of his lifespan. We mere mortals should accept our fate and see if we can produce a more gifted next generation.

Cultivation of immortality has always been determined by family background; ordinary people rarely achieve such a leap in their life force!

It is said that the Huangshan Secret Realm is about to open again. Back when His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, he obtained the inheritance of a sword immortal in the Huangshan Secret Realm. However, it is said that he suffered a hidden injury in the secret realm, which is why he has been unable to break through to the Integration Stage.

……

The fact that the Great Emperor came to Qiyuan Star to cultivate could not be kept a secret in the end, and it was soon known to countless people.

Various arguments have appeared on the Spiritual Network.

But everyone agrees that Qiyuan Star must hold some secret, otherwise the Great Emperor wouldn't have spent so much money to find Qiyuan Star, nor would he have gone to Qiyuan Star to seek a breakthrough opportunity after faking his death and abdicating.

You must understand, this is the Emperor of the Xuan Yuan Empire. Even he was forced to place his hopes on Qi Yuan Star. You can imagine how many secrets Qi Yuan Star holds.

This news immediately caused the stock prices of many companies in Qiyuanxing to soar, and also prompted more people to make up their minds to develop their careers in Qiyuanxing.

Because of the presence of the Emperor and Princess's residences, as well as the presence of powerful ancestors and Nascent Soul cultivators, Qiyuan City naturally became the most prosperous metropolis on Qiyuan Star.

However, the new emperor was clearly not content with this, and a second city, Qianyuan City, located 200,000 miles east of Qiyuan City, was also being rapidly built.

Unlike other countries and enterprises that are facing a lack of skilled personnel, Emperor Qian Yuan dispatched a powerful team to lay a solid foundation for Qian Yuan City, and a second ultra-large-scale, ultra-long-distance teleportation array is being rapidly constructed.

The entire Qiyuan Star entered a prosperous era of large-scale development.

"At most three months, Qianyuan City will be ready for use."

With the wedding date approaching, the Sixth Princess has been very clingy lately, sending messages to Shen Baifa every day after finishing her daily cultivation.

"Let them invest. Even if they focus all their efforts on developing Qianyuan City, we're already two and a half years ahead. It will be four or five years before they can truly compete with Qiyuan City."

Humans are creatures of habit. People are used to staying in Qiyuan City now. Even if there is Qianyuan City, they will still be used to doing trade here. After all, this place is not far from the cities of various countries, and all the business bases are built around Qiyuan City.

Furthermore, the Emperor will be staying in Qiyuan City for some time, which is the safest place on Qiyuan Star. These companies aren't stupid, so there's no need to worry too much.

Women are prone to anxiety after becoming pregnant. An Li has already passed through this stage, while the Sixth Princess has just entered it. Therefore, he can clearly feel that the Sixth Princess is worried that the prosperity of Qiyuan City will be overshadowed by Qianyuan City.

"Besides, we have a contract. Even if there are new towns, we can still get a share of the profits. The more new towns there are, the more we can get. Isn't being a landlord much better than working hard to earn money on our own?"

Moreover, each country can only establish a maximum of three large cities on Qiyuan Star, while smaller countries may only be able to support one city.

After all, defense is a major issue, and the more resources are drained from Earth, the more dangerous it becomes.

It will probably take at least twenty years for the new humans of Qiyuan Star to truly reach a significant scale, after which a population explosion will occur.

Shen Bai's analysis eased the Sixth Princess's anxiety.

She can see these things, but she inexplicably feels anxious and irritable.

"An Li's due date is tomorrow, I'll be there."

One hundred top-tier female Golden Core cultivators, one thousand hundred Golden Core True Persons, two thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, and five thousand Qi Refining cultivators have been readily sent over by Emperor Qian Yuan to supplement the Shen family and become its employees.

These people were all prisoners of war, so after signing the master-slave contract, they were thrown into the spirit fields, medicine fields, spirit lakes, and pastures.

They were still divided into five teams: A, B, C, D, and E. However, only two Nascent Soul True Monarchs remained in the original teams, while the rest were placed in Team A, which was mainly responsible for the construction and security of the manor.

Things are different now. More and more people are aware of the existence of the Shen residence, and security is a far greater concern than anything else.

Currently, Team A consists of 42 members, all of whom are at the Nascent Soul stage and are exceptionally fierce. This team is divided into three groups: one group is responsible for the outer perimeter, one group is responsible for the inner palace, and one group is responsible for patrols. The security level of the entire Shen Mansion is second only to Qiyuan City and Qianyuan City.

The four teams, B, C, D, and E, each consisted of 2 Nascent Soul True Monarchs, 250 Golden Core True Persons, 400 Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivators, and 1250 Qi Refining Cultivators. This configuration made every corner of the Shen Mansion exceptionally lively.

All 100 top-tier Golden Core female cultivators were placed under Meimei's management, bringing the total number of top-tier female cultivators to 113. They were then assigned to the inner palace to handle all the miscellaneous affairs and serve Shen Bai's family.

In this way, the entire Shen family mansion, both inside and out, became well-organized.

The development of spiritual fields, medicinal fields, and pastures has exceeded 10,000 mu each.

Linghu Lake was originally only 1,000 mu, but it has been expanded to 2,000 mu.

As the morning sun shone, the entire Shen residence was bathed in golden sunlight, and countless cultivators busily moved about on the spirit fields, medicinal fields, pastures, and spirit lake.

Whether it's sowing seeds, repelling insects, or feeding.

A monk performed a ritual, and spiritual rain fell.

Some monks performed rituals that transformed mountainous terrain into fertile fields.

Tens of thousands of houses have been built at the foot of the mountain, and a commercial street has even appeared, making it resemble a small town.

Everyone was doing their job, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

Compared to their experiences elsewhere, they were very fortunate to be in the Shen family. Not only were they allowed to take turns resting, but they also received a supply of pills. If they broke through in their cultivation, they would be rewarded and allowed to be promoted to the top team.

Now, Team A has become the most envied team in the entire Shen family, not only with a high status, but also with the highest treatment among all employees.

Therefore, everyone put in their best efforts and worked hard to contribute to the construction of the Shen Mansion.

Shen Bai walked outside the hall and looked around, and what he saw was a thriving scene.

Shen Wenwen is playing Monster Chess with Bai Qingqing.

The young girl had just advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining and was currently in a stable cultivation phase. She planned to take a second-tier Breakthrough Pill and a second-tier Breakthrough Pill after she reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and then make a final push to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Her talent far surpasses that of An Li and Bai Qingqing; she might actually be able to surpass them.

Seeing Shen Bai come out, Shen Wenwen immediately dropped the chess piece in her hand and ran over: "Shen Bai, where are you going?"

Bai Qingqing also stood up.

Since being brought to the Shen residence, Bai Qingqing has gained a lot of confidence, especially after Shen Wenwen accepted her as her sister-in-law. She is overjoyed every day.

Aside from one thing, my belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet.

"Come on, I'll show you around our house."

Shen Bai held one of their hands in each hand, and they walked on air.

"Okay, okay, I've been holding it in for ages!"

Shen Wenwen hugged Shen Bai's arm, jumping and skipping happily. At this moment, Shen Bai suddenly realized that Shen Wenwen had already reached his shoulder height.

"Wenwen is a big girl now."

Shen Bai sighed. He was already 24 years old, while Shen Wenwen was 18.

Six years ago, the two were struggling to make ends meet in their hometown in Jiangbei.

Six years later, he had already established a foothold on Qiyuan Star.

Upon hearing Shen Bai's remark, Shen Wenwen's delicate body trembled. She touched her pigtails, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with them.

At 18, wearing pigtails is no longer appropriate.

"I wish I could be like before, lying on you every day, being taken to and from school by you."

Shen Wenwen rested her head on Shen Bai's shoulder, feeling happiness, sweetness, and a lot of sadness.

Standing on the other side of Shen Bai, Bai Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little envious of the deep bond between the two siblings. As an only child, she had always wanted an older brother to pamper her.

But things are good now; Shen Bai is already spoiling me a lot.

The three arrived at the spirit field and checked the sowing situation. The new spirit rice had been planted and would be ready for harvest in three months.

Qiyuan Star is practically a cultivation paradise, especially since the Shen family mansion is situated on a sixth-order spiritual vein. Even though Shen Bai has absorbed the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein, the spiritual energy that has simply dissipated is enough to make these spiritual ricees the highest quality spiritual rice on the market.

Although Shen Bai didn't expect these spirit rice plants to make a lot of money, he was content as long as they could feed the nearly 9000 people in the manor.

"Master, last season's spirit rice yielded 200 million low-grade spirit stones, excluding the ones we kept for ourselves, and all of them have been deposited into the treasury."

It is estimated that these 10,000 mu of spiritual fields will be able to produce 8 million spirit stones within the next year.

I am confident that I can increase the annual output value of the spirit field to 1000 million spirit stones within the next three years.

When Team B's leader, Yi Yi, saw Shen Bai arrive, he quickly took out his account book and showed it to Shen Bai.

As Shen Bai flipped through the document, he instructed, "Your mistress has been unwell recently and has limited energy. For the next year, you can report everything to Qingqing."

B nodded in agreement.

Bai Qingqing was overjoyed upon hearing this, knowing that she would be in charge for the next year.

After inspecting the spirit fields, and then the medicinal fields, spirit lake, pastures, and other properties, Shen Bai led the two back to the mansion. Just as he was about to sit down and have a cup of tea, he saw Meimei walking quickly toward him: "Master, the mistress's water has broken."

A simple sentence made Shen Bai jump up.

He, who is usually calm and composed, was so excited that his face turned bright red.

"Why a day earlier? Have the doctor and midwife gone in yet?"

Meimei nodded: "They've already gone in. It's normal for the due date to be earlier than expected, and the baby is already full-term. A day earlier or later is perfectly normal."

"Is my sister-in-law about to give birth? I'm going to be an aunt?"

Shen Wenwen was about to shout excitedly, but Bai Qingqing quickly covered her mouth: "Keep your voice down, don't startle Sister Anli."

Shen Wenwen understood, and she paced back and forth in the hall with a look of excitement, muttering to herself from time to time.

"I want to teach him martial arts."

"Haha, this little guy definitely has superhuman strength just like me!"

"I reckon he was born with innate talent, even surpassing Shen Bai! From now on, my aunt and nephew will dominate Qiyuan Star!"

……

An Li's mother arrived at this time after hearing the news. She didn't have time to say anything to Shen Bai and quickly followed Mei Mei to the master bedroom.

An Li's father is now a Golden Core cultivator. He looked at the back room with a worried expression, somewhat anxious, but he knew that at this time he could only wait patiently.

Just then, the Sixth Princess appeared in the hall.
