Chapter 1757: The First Dao Fruit Through the Ages

ai Lan's voice was somewhat cold. She gave a simple self-introduction, and then, like Shen Changqing, she displayed her identity token.I took two glances.Zhang Hongyuan didn't find anything wrong, so...Commander of the Human Race!

"Gongyangzi!"

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, temporarily putting this matter out of his mind.

It was no surprise to him that the Huayang ancestral hall would send someone over.

But from this incident, Shen Changqing could also be considered to have concluded one thing, that the Huayang ancestral home should be searching for something.

Otherwise.

It's hard to explain why, at first glance, Gongyangzi secretly used his mind to probe into himself.

The other party thought he hadn't noticed, but in reality, Shen Changqing had seen it all. He just didn't expose it.

But.

Why would someone investigate a lone cultivator

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After thinking it over.

Shen Changqing thought of only one possibility.

That's not what Gongyangzi was investigating. It wasn't about scattered scholars; he wanted to find himself.

"As I expected!"

"The ancestral home of Huayang was not immune to this either."

“It seems that other forces are probably in a similar situation!”

Shen Changqing pondered inwardly.

He had offended the Demon Lord and many powerful forces in the dark camp, making him unwelcome in both major camps. In addition to this, he possessed numerous inheritances and treasures, which would even tempt a god-like being.

In the past, I reluctantly belonged to the Netherworld camp. It was not advisable to directly confront powerful forces like the Huayang ancestral home.

Now.

>

That gave them enough reason.

Then.

To be safe, and also to let Duan Jing secretly keep an eye on some of the movements in the Eight Desolates of Kyushu.

Although Hongshan City is located in the ancient desolate land, the cultivators who come to Hongshan City are not only from the ancient desolate land. Moreover, the scattered cultivation forces are also intricate and complex. Some news that wants to inquire clearly is not very difficult.

It's only been a few days.

Having taken care of what Shen Changqing had ordered, he ended the scene.

The Four Great Empires and the major ancestral halls are rumored to be secretly searching for something. According to sources, what they seek is not a lost art or a treasure, but a cultivator.

"Which cultivator"

"Tianzong Sect Master Shen Changqing!"

Duàn Jǐng said in a low voice.

Even when mentioning this name, he couldn't help but show reverence on his face.

Tianzong Sect Master Shen Changqing.

This name is also renowned throughout the ancient wilderness.

To be precise.

The other party's reputation is quite unique.

Even powerful figures like the great emperors of forces such as Huayang Ancestral Home and Tiangang Ancestral Home would seem insignificant before that person.

This is a simple text example.

For only hundreds of years ago, Shen Changqing slaughtered numerous powerful figures from the Dark Camp in the Ancient Wilderness Nine Cities. He then executed many celestial emperors. More importantly, the other party was merely a Dao Fruit cultivator.

The Dao Fruit cuts down the Divine Emperor like an ant.

Throughout history, there has only been one person who could accomplish this.

Looking at Shen Changqing fall silent, Duàn Jǐng couldn't help but say: "The City Lord probably doesn't know who Shen Changqing is, right This person comes from the myriad heavens and is the Sect Master of a force called Tiānzōng."

It is rumored that although this person is a Dao fruit, his combat power is unparalleled, slaying divine emperors like ants. He is considered the number one Dao fruit throughout ancient and modern times.

"Moreover, there are divine pronouncements that if this person does not unexpectedly perish one day, they will surely attain immortality..."

“As for Shen Changqing, this seat has naturally heard of him. It's just unexpected that all the major forces are searching for his whereabouts. According to my understanding, this person belongs to Zhutian and should be on the same side as the major ancestral halls!”

Shen Changqing smiled faintly, as if the other party's boasting was about someone else entirely.

"The City Lord may not know this, but that Master Shen has slain countless powerful figures from the heavens. It is said he even offended a god of the Heavenly Black Demon God Clan. He has long been disliked by the gods of heaven."

"Aha!"

Shen Changqing nodded.

Then.

He just shook his head and said: "Forget it. Whether it's the Headmaster of Tianzong or the two major camps, they are not something that our Red Mountain City can interfere with. Let this matter be buried in my stomach."

If it were heard by other scheming cultivators, it would only cause trouble.

"My subordinate will certainly not speak outside the proper channels!"

Duan Jing's complexion also changed slightly, and he hurriedly responded.

At this moment, only he and Shen Changqing were left in the main hall. However, Duankeng dared not continue speaking.

As Shen Changqing said, whether it was the head of Tianzong or the two major factions, these topics were too sensitive.

Here is your translated text:

If it really so happens to leak out, it might just cause a huge scandal.

Shen Changqing changed the subject: "How is the Red Mountain Army's formation going"

He didn't intend to get involved in the affairs of Hongshan City originally, but now that he has left the pass, he should still take a look at what's happening there.

Duàn Jǐng said: “The 100,000 Hóng Shān Army has been fully assembled. As for the salary, my subordinate has tentatively set it to one mid-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone per year for the Divine King, and ten mid-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones for the Divine Master.”

But in terms of passing down the ultimate techniques, my subordinate has yet to make a decision and therefore asks the City Lord to take charge!

One medium-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone per year!

One hundred top-grade Netherworld spirit stones!

This salary.

It's considered quite generous.

After all, if it's calculated in terms of divine crystals, a God King is equivalent to 10,000 divine crystals per year, and a God Lord is 100,000 divine crystals per year. If we take ten thousand years as the unit, then that would be one billion divine crystals and ten billion divine crystals.

Taking the Heavenly God King as an example, ten years of faith condenses a piece of Heavenly God Crystal, which is equivalent to over five thousand ordinary God Crystals.

Now that you've joined the Red Mountain Army, in ten years you can receive one hundred thousand divine crystals. You can only imagine how good the treatment is.

Although the Underworld doesn't primarily value Shenjing, Underworld Spirit Stones are equally precious. Therefore, a mid-grade Underworld Spirit Stone is already quite remarkable.

100,000 Red Mountain Army.

A year has passed.

At a conservative estimate, the consumption is around 100,000 mid-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to 10 high-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.

In fact.

This is just a minimum estimate.

After all, it's impossible for the 100,000 Red Mountain Army to be all Divine Kings. If it were something like a Divine Master, then the amount of Yin-Yang Spirit Stones needed would have to increase several times over.

If it were an ordinary sect, it naturally wouldn't be able to afford so many cultivators.

But.

>

The Red Mountain City shouldn't be a problem.

After all, even if the annual profits of Hongling Merchant Guild were more than just ten top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.

Therefore.

A Red Ridge Chamber of Commerce could easily raise an army of 100,000 cultivators.

And even less so with regard to taxation and other sources of revenue.

If you include all of them, not to mention tens of thousands of cultivators, even millions of cultivators, Red Mountain City could still support them.

There is one more thing.

These cultivators are not raised for nothing. They are meant to generate profit, such as venturing out to hunt spirit beasts, searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and engaging in other endeavors.

Overall.

In the end, the cost that fell on Hongshan City was not much, and it even made a profit.

As for inheritance, all cultivators who join the Hongshan Army, if they are God Kings, will uniformly receive the inheritance of a top-tier God King's unique skill. However, they must sign a contract to serve the Hongshan City for ten thousand years.

Within ten thousand years, if one leaves without permission, they must repay double the value of the forbidden art.

The teachings of the Divine Lord are imparted based on their current realm. Those below the sixth level of the Divine Lord receive the inheritance of the lower ranks of the Divine Lord, while those at the seventh level and above can receive the inheritance of the peak Divine Lord.

As a price, they need to serve the Hongshan Army for 100,000 years. Within those 100,000 years, if they leave, the price will be equal to that of a God King.

> Furthermore, merit points will be awarded to anyone who contributes to the prosperity of Hongshan City. Those who accumulate a sufficient number of merit points can exchange them for a higher level of inheritance.

Even the divine transmission of a deity, this seat can also give them!

Shen Changqing briefly stated his own opinions, the general idea was like this, but how to implement it specifically, that's up to Duankeng to be responsible for.

The other party, having once managed a Red Lantern Market, is quite experienced in this regard.

As expected.

After hearing Shen Changqing's words, Duan Jing pondered for a moment, and an idea had already formed in his mind.

"I obey your orders!"

He bowed deeply.

Actually, before this, Duankeng himself had some ideas, but because it involved the transmission of martial arts techniques, he didn't dare to make his own decisions.

Now that Shen Changqing has spoken, the Red Mountain Army commander can finally rest assured.

When Shen Changqing went to deal with the Hongshan Army, he once again went into seclusion.

The chamber was empty.

Shen Changqing sat cross-legged.

The phantom of the great divine tree atop the head swayed, with an intensely rich Dao rhyme flowing through it. A blood-red Milky Way hung upside down, its vast river brimming with the breath of slaughter.

Shen Changqing closed his eyes in meditation. Many top-grade Nether Spirit Stones were arranged in a formation, and the massive energy converged on him, constantly strengthening his soul.

>

This method of refining Netherworld Spirit Stones was researched by Shen Changqing later on.

After all, refining piece by piece is ultimately too slow.

>

If it's just a small amount of Nether Spirit Stones, it's fine. But if there are a lot, it won't be so quick to refine them.

So.

Then Shen Changqing refined it in the way of formations.

This method is not only faster, but also prevents energy from dissipating, maximizing the effects of the Nether Spirit Stones.

A surge of energy flooded Shen Changqing's body. He felt his soul ascend, as if being refined, and countless insights into the Dao surged into his mind, causing the blood-red celestial river to tremble violently.

While Shen Changqing was comprehending the rules of the Dao, the Dao building tree within his cave dwelling now seemed to have received nourishment, its branches and leaves becoming even more robust.

The tree is supporting the sky.

The cave heaven is slowly expanding.

Since Jianmu merged with the Great Godtree and transformed into Daode Jianmu, Shen Changqing's strength has been increasing every moment. However, this growth rate is extremely slow.

But.

When Shen Changqing was refining the Nether Spirit Stone, the growth of the Dao Jianmu was significantly faster than usual.

According to his speculation, it is the energy contained within the Netherworld Spirit Stones that can serve as nourishment for the Great Dao Tree.

In fact, it's not just the Nether Spirit Stones. Even ordinary spirit stones can nourish the Dao-building tree.

But —

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ordinary heavenly and earthly spirit stones are naturally not as precious as netherworld spirit stones.

After all, although ordinary spirit stones contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this celestial energy is not as mysterious as the Yin-Yang spirit energy contained in Yin-Yang spirit stones. It cannot directly temper the soul.

Strictly speaking.

Ethereal energy, in a certain way, is considered to be a level higher than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Of course.

Everything has two sides.

Ethereal Qi can only temper the soul, while Heaven and Earth Qi can temper the physical body. The two have different focuses, so their importance in different aspects is naturally different.
