Chapter 138 Site Selection
The two sheathed their swords and landed steadily.
"Thank you." Hua Qi glanced around, already having blueprints for building the houses in her mind, only lacking the execution. "Please ask Sect Leader Chen to allocate some manpower."
"So, you're satisfied now?" Chen An took a few deep breaths, feeling much more relaxed.
Hua Qi looked around and praised without reservation: "Satisfied. Yihezong has taken up such a large area. Luckily I arrived early, otherwise it would have been taken by someone else."
The morning breeze carries a chill, and it is this chill that wakes many people up.
Chen An casually released five hundred black iron armored men and ordered, "Follow the orders of Sect Master Hua."
"From now on, you can call me Elder Hua, Sister Hua, or even Hua Qi. As for Sect Master, that title is no longer applicable." Hua Qi stared at the iron figure in front of her with great delight. These things were exquisitely crafted and possessed the abilities of cultivators; they were truly wonderful.
If only she had a hundred or two, what a pity.
Chen An saw through her thoughts and immediately said, "Let them stay here after they finish repairing the house. Elder Hua's cultivation level is there. In a few years, all the mountains around here will be yours."
Hua Qi said with a hint of helplessness, "Looks like I'll have to take on more disciples."
Chen An felt a little embarrassed after being exposed. Although that was what she meant, it was really embarrassing to have Hua Qi say it outright.
"please."
“No problem.” Hua Qi nodded firmly, looking determined to complete the task assigned by the organization, which filled Chen An with confidence.
The Yihe Sect occupies a large area, but has very few disciples; excluding demonic cultivators, there are fewer than two thousand people.
If these two thousand people are sent out to serve as elders, there are not many talented and capable ones, which is really worrying.
The most suffocating thing is that after so many battles, the Yihe Sect has become famous, but there isn't even a single Nascent Soul stage expert in the entire sect.
Now that Hua Qi has arrived, she can finally focus on her cultivation for a while.
Hua Qi's layout was very reasonable, and it also subtly incorporated some feng shui elements. Chen An had only a superficial understanding of these things, but he could still see Hua Qi's powerful abilities.
Under her arrangement, the efficiency of the Xuan Tie Jin Jia men improved significantly, and even the finer details of the carvings became much more exquisite.
With such abilities, she deserves to be the leader of one of the five major sects.
Chen An felt somewhat ashamed. Compared to the older sister in front of her, she was like a lazy bum who had accidentally obtained a system.
The host need not feel inferior.
Grape's voice rang out at an inopportune moment. Chen An had only had this thought for a fleeting moment and couldn't remember it at all. But with this comforting gesture, it would probably remember it well even on the day Chen An passed away.
"You deliberately?"
No, darling, let's go!
Chen An didn't call it again. Based on his many interactions with Grape, he concluded that this thing was the kind of creature that would run away after acting up, and he would never be able to find it.
The speed at which the five hundred armored men worked together was visibly fast; in less than two hours, the house had already taken shape.
Bored, Chen An and the others took their leave, planning to come back in the evening and set up some formations there.
After bidding farewell, Chen An did not return to the main peak, but instead flew straight into the sky on his sword to observe the Yihe Sect.
The area is definitely large enough, and the spiritual energy is definitely abundant enough, but why is this place so desolate?
With two thousand disciples and one hundred thousand demonic cultivators, this place shouldn't be like this no matter what.
She looked at the sect she had worked so hard to build and felt somewhat disappointed.
Compared to the Zhaoning Sect, Xuhua Sect, and Tianyuan Sect, something seems to be missing here.
Thinking about this, Chen An knew the answer.
Those powerful sects with deep foundations have countless training grounds everywhere. The Yihe Sect's underground palace is not yet completed, but even if it is, there will only be one such place.
It seemed it was time to bleed some blood. Gritting his teeth, Chen An took out a handful of white bones.
After she had the space provided by the system, she rarely used the dragon bone anymore.
Having kept one tied around his neck, Chen An decided to use these items as the foundation of the Yihe Sect.
Nine dragon bones, nine great mountains.
She walked around and around until she chose a spot.
The martial arts practitioners had the most and occupied the most land, so naturally they had five.
The dragon bone slipped from her hand, expanding continuously until it was as big as a small mountain before landing on the mountaintop.
The keel, where it touched the mountaintop, sank in five or six meters, standing firmly on top.
The white bones stood out against the green hills, and the rumbling sound was also very attractive.
Some disciples with higher cultivation levels sensed it and knew that the sect leader was bestowing blessings upon the sect, and they could not hide their excitement.
Although they didn't know if the item was free, things from the sect were naturally cheaper and better than those from outside. Besides, their sect leader was no ordinary person; anything built by the sect leader himself couldn't be bad.
The disciples counted softly, stopping when they reached five, their excitement beyond words.
As long as it's not just one person, they'll get their turn eventually; they'll always get their turn.
Before they could finish getting excited, another rumbling sound came.
There are two places for alchemy, one for array formation, and one for weapon crafting.
As for why there are two alchemists, it's not because Chen An is biased.
Time passes quickly in the dragon bone, so wouldn't it be incredibly profitable to use it to grow herbs?
Pure Land objects are precious and limited in number, and pale in comparison to the dragon bones, which are large in appearance but even larger inside.
After arranging the positions of the nine dragon bones, Chen An went to Wu Siyue's residence.
He chose a hilltop that wasn't very high, covered with ankle-high grass, and besides the grass, there was only a house with red bricks and white tiles.
Although the house didn't quite match the scenery, Wu Siyue was very satisfied.
The room is comfortable, and the view outside is beautiful. As long as you don't look at the room while enjoying the view, there's nothing wrong with it.
As long as he's comfortable, there's no need to replace that brick house with a thatched hut just to make it look better to others.
Sensing Chen An's arrival, Wu Siyue came out alone, holding a piece of red silk in his hand, seemingly doing something.
"Busy." Chen An noticed the wrinkles on the silk and looked up. "You have a Daoist partner?"
Wu Siyue seemed to have been caught red-handed, shaking his head repeatedly and hurriedly denying, "No, don't talk nonsense, it's not even close to happening yet."
Seeing that Wu Siyue's face was so red it was almost bleeding, Chen An ended the topic: "Then tell me when you have a glimpse of it, I need to talk to you."
"Go ahead." Wu Siyue hid the silk behind his back, then, feeling it wasn't right, neatly folded it and carefully placed it in his sleeve.
Chen An watched all this with a smile in his heart: "You must have heard the noise just now. Do you think this dragon bone should be given to the disciple for free?"
Wu Siyue straightened his expression and hesitated for a long time before replying, "It shouldn't be like that."
"why?"
"It's not about making money off dragon bones, but about letting them know that this opportunity is hard to come by. Cultivation is inherently difficult. If everything becomes easier, their cultivation level may increase, but their character will not be tempered." Wu Siyue analyzed seriously. "However, don't charge too much. It's best to give those newly initiated disciples a chance, and also let capable senior disciples make some contributions to the sect."
"what do you mean?"
"New students have five free entry opportunities. Those below the Nascent Soul stage receive one high-grade spirit stone per day, while those above the Nascent Soul stage receive ten high-grade spirit stones per day."
Chen An felt this suggestion was good, and after making some minor modifications, the two finalized it.
