Trantor: 549690339
One monthter, near the border of Zhongzhou, Xu Fan and the others gathered in an Immortal City. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the main hall of a three-entry courtyard, everyone gathered together.
“Tell me about the situations in your areas,” Xu Fan asked.
“Master, the ce I went to is already controlled by a level 8 sect. I went around to the other small sects and found that they all have a hard time. The resources around are controlled by the major sects.”
“The small sects have no chance to rise,” Xu Yuexian said first.
“The ce I chose has powerful demonic beasts with cultivation above the God Transformation Stage. I do not rmend choosing this ce,” Li Xingci said indifferently.
“There are not many people, and no resources. I don’t rmend choosing this ce,” Wang Xiangchi said.
“The environment is too deste, I don’t rmend it,” Wang Yulun also said.
“The situation in my ce is pretty much the same,” Xu Fan said, mainly because there was Zhu Jiao and he had to avoid it.
At this time, everyone looked at Xu Gang with eyes full of expectation.
Xu Gang took out aw te-like artifact and ced it on the table, inputting spiritual power into it.
A huge map shadow appeared in front of everyone, with an introduction to the area and specifically pointing out suitable ces for establishing a sect.
“Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, the name is a bit small,” Xu Fan looked at the virtual map in mid-air and said, ording to the map’s scale it was at least a million miles.
“Xu Gang, who gave you this?” Xu Fan didn’t believe that his disciple could make such a thing.
“It was a Nascent Soul senior from the Elders Association who was guarding there. He is the deacon of that ce, in charge of the area around the
Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake,” Xu Gang said.
“That senior promised that if we register a sect there, he would give us a 20% tax reduction,” Xu Gang continued.
At this time, Xu Fan turned his gaze to his wife.
“Xiao Xi, tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of that ce.” Nien usually choose women who possess the qualities theyck as their wives.
“The only resources are therge spirit iron mine at the bottom of theke and the tax from the spiritual fields along theke’s shore. If we really want to establish a base there, we must protect the people along the shore from being harassed by demonic beasts, which is very helpful for us to recruit disciples locally.”
“The most powerful demonic beasts in the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake are of the Nascent Soul Stage. If we find demonic beasts above the Nascent
Soul Stage, we can report it to the Elders Association, and they will send someone to kill it.”
Xiao Xi talked for half an hour before stopping. She had analyzed the ce thoroughly. If this were her past life high school, she would definitely get a perfect score in politics.
“There is arge spirit iron mine at the bottom of theke, and it’s difficult to mine,” Xu Fan muttered as he looked at the map.
“Xiao Xi, is the tax reduction that senior mentioned permanent?” Xu Fan asked. The tax collection of the Elders Association was simple and rough, directly taking one-tenth of the annual profit. Reducing it by 20% means a 2% reduction, which would umte over time and amount to a considerable sum.
“If we lock the registration spirit stones and sign a ten-million-year contract, the reduction can be permanent,” Xiao Xi said.
Xu Fan continued to gaze at the virtual map in mid-air. In fact, he had already turned his attention to the inds in the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake and then to the surrounding area of the Giant Lake.
Finally, Xu Fan waved his hand and brought everyone to the Illusory World.
Everyone stood in mid-air, with the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake and its surrounding area below.
The more Xu Fan looked at it, the more satisfied he was. This ce met his criteria for selecting a location. The resources were not too bad, and the transportationwork was fairly good. The most important thing was that the ce was very low-key, and few cultivators or sects would pay attention to it.
And the most important point was that this ce was very, very far away from the Sword King Sect.
It was a ce that was useless to others, but just right for Xu Fan.
Xu Fan withdrew the Illusory World and said to everyone, “I’ve decided that our sect will be located here.’
Thergest ind in the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake wasparable in size to a province in his past life.
“Alright.” The others also knew that with their strength, they really didn’t have many good choices.
Nan Sen Immortal City was located at the northeasternmost corner of Tian State in the Central Continent. The Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake was situated 50,000 miles north of the Immortal City.
Xu Fan preferred to call the Elders Association, not far from the
Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, the “Business Management Department.” As soon as Xu Fan and the others arrived, they were warmly weed by the entire Elders Association of the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, as if they had just seen their own fathers.
The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator personally poured tea for them.
“Fellow Daoist, your presence here proves that you’ve made up your mind.”
“l see that you haven’t reached the Nascent Soul Stage yet. So, after you pay the registration Spirit Stones and sign the contract, I’ll directly take a Senior God Transformation Stage cultivator with me to y all the Demonic Beasts above the Golden Core Stage in the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.” Xu Fan looked at the enthusiastic Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, feeling as if he was getting a salesmission.
“Senior, there’s no need to trouble yourself. I can handle this small issue.”
“May we register the sect and sign the contract now?” Xu Fan said. Before getting here, he had already taken a trip around the Hundred-Thousand-Li
Giant Lake.
“Alright.”
After paying the ten million registration Spirit Stones, Xu Fan signed a contract with the Nascent Soul Elder. Once the contract was signed, he felt an additional chain binding his soul.
“Alright, now the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake will be your sect’s residence. You only need to report your sect’s name within a year.”
“There’s also a more important matter: defense along the shorelines of the
Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake. You’ll be responsible for this defense in five years.”
“As for the rest, you only need to recruit 100 disciples within three years.”
“There are many other trivial matters detailed in this Jade Slip. You can read them slowly.”
After the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator handed a Jade Slip to Xu Fan, the entire process waspleted.
Throughout the ages, the first group of cultivators finally set foot on thergest ind in the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.
Throughout the giant ind, there were dense forests and towering trees, with mountains rising in the distance.
“This will be our territory from now on.”
Xu Fan led the group toward the mountains at the heart of the giant ind. It had always been an unnamed rule in the Cultivation World that when establishing a sect, it would generally be built on a mountaintop. Even if there were no mountains, a Floating Ind would be created in the future to move the sect.
Some things were inexplicably followed in a unified manner throughout the entire Cultivation World.
At the summit of a giant peak, which was also the tallest, Xu Fan looked around and pped Li Xingci on the shoulder, saying, “Now it’s your turn to shine. I’ll build this ce into the Holy Land of your dreams.”
The white-robed, elegant Li Xingci nodded, and a huge painting appeared in mid-air, depicting a Holy Land that resembled an Immortal Realm.
The sect in the Immortal Realm was built along the slopes of the mountains, and the main body was the huge peak below. All the buildings needed for the sect were incorporated into the mountain.
The Puppet Heart was behind Xu Fan, scanning the enormous painting in mid-air.
“Master, I designed it for a capacity of 10,000 people. What do you think?”
“If it doesn’t work, I’ll change it,” Li Xingci said.
“There’s no need to change it. Let’s go with it..”
