Everlasting

After all, the Haotian Mirror is just a treasure for refining demons. Although the combat power burst out in a short period of time is not weak to the Nascent Soul, it is very troublesome to recover the lost power.

Since the catastrophe of the Demonic Temple more than 400 years ago, Haotian Mirror has been engaged in a war almost every hundred years, and the loss of power is not small.

It would take at least several decades to recover enough combat power. Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi could only suppress his thoughts.

"Then let's wait a few more years and make plans after we return from our travels..."

"..."

After temporarily putting aside dealing with the Demon Cave, Chen Nianzhi went to Pingyang City.

The old patriarch was thinking about the technique. When he saw him, he said: "I think you are just in time. Please teach me the Sun Lihuo Sutra."

After all, the Sun Lihuo Sutra is a martial art in the Golden Core Realm. The method at high and deep levels is extremely mysterious. Chen Changxuan has been practicing the Sun Lihuo Sutra for many years, and he also has some doubts about this technique.

Since the creator of the technique is in front, the old patriarch can ask Chen Nianzhi in person, which naturally saves him the trouble of pondering.

The two discussed the techniques for half an hour. After the old patriarch's doubts were eliminated, he showed a satisfied smile.

Chen Changxuan put down the technique, then made Chen Nianzhi a pot of tea, and then said: "I don't know why you came today?"

"Linglong has broken through the late stage of Jin Dan." Chen Nianzhi said calmly.

"really?"

The old patriarch showed a look of surprise, and after lingering on the spot for a moment, he said: "With her cultivation speed, and with the help of Lingtao, wouldn't it be possible to reach the realm of Nascent Soul in a hundred years?"

"If there is no Qi of Heavenly Dao, it may be too early to reach the realm of Nascent Soul."

Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said, for people like Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong, their target is naturally the Nascent Soul of Heaven.

Although the Qi of the Earth is precious, it can be purchased by spending Tianjing, but the Qi of the Heaven requires opportunity and background.

Fortunately, once in a thousand years, heaven and earth will interact, and the energy of heaven will come down. However, the next time heaven and earth interact, there will still be more than two hundred years.

After suppressing his thoughts, Chen Nianzhi looked again and said, "The Five Elements energy in the family has been insufficient in recent years. I hope to further expand the scale of the monks."

"Adding more monks to the family?"

The old patriarch's eyes moved slightly, he shook his head and said: "We want more than 30 million mortals. Pingyang City has covered thousands of miles around, and the number of mortals is close to the upper limit."

"If we want to further increase the population, we either have to move all the other families in Yu County, or we have to find a new family location."

Chen Nianzhi frowned. This was a big problem.

Mortals have extremely high requirements for the living environment. If there is no suitable geographical environment, the mountains in the wilderness of the Eastern Region are often tens of thousands of feet high. Many places may look big but are not suitable for mortals to survive.

Moreover, there are so many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the Eastern Wilderness that it is also an extremely difficult task to reclaim the ancient plains that have been overgrown with weeds for hundreds of millions of years.

"Get the map."

Chen Nianzhi asked someone to get a map of Chu State. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he showed a look of surprise.

He pointed at the Hundred Thousand Miles of Wilderness and said with bright eyes: "The terrain of this Hundred Thousand Miles of Wilderness is relatively flat, and there are many rivers running through it, which are enough to irrigate countless fields. Once fully developed, it will be enough to give birth to billions of mortals."

"A hundred thousand miles of wilderness?"

The old patriarch frowned. The Hundred Thousand Miles Wilderness was extremely ancient. In the early years, it had always been the buffer line between Bianzhou and the Monster Clan.

In the past, when Tianmang Lake was still there, every time there was a war, the demon clan would cross the one hundred thousand miles of wilderness to attack the Chu Kingdom. In the end, tens of thousands of monsters would spread out in the one hundred thousand miles of wilderness.

These monsters have thrived in the vast wilderness for hundreds of thousands of miles, and have always been almost inexhaustible. It was only in the past one or two hundred years that things got much better.

However, the number of monsters among them is still very large, and the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts they breed are almost endless.

Thinking of this, the old patriarch pondered for a moment and then said: "In the vast wilderness of a hundred thousand miles, the demon clan can actually continue to strangle, but the poisonous insects and beasts bred in it are too troublesome."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to open up the land. Without two to three hundred years of continuous development, I'm afraid it's impossible to survive with mortals."

"Then burn it."

Chen Nianzhi said resolutely. He waved his hand and turned the Hundred Thousand Miles of Wilderness into a big circle: "The terrain of this Hundred Thousand Miles of Wilderness is vast and full of weeds. Let's set fire to the Hundred Thousand Miles of Wilderness."

"Arrange 10,000 family monks to take turns strangling the monsters and poisonous insects in the wilderness."

"When the grass in the wilderness dries up every autumn, we set fire to the vast wilderness of 100,000 miles. As long as we continue to burn for decades, it will be enough to burn out most of the poisonous insects and beasts in the wilderness."

The old patriarch's pupils shrank slightly. If the poisonous insects were burned with fire, tens of thousands of monks would take turns killing the poisonous insects and beasts day and night.

Doing this day after day, year after year, is indeed enough to wipe out 99% of the key points of the one hundred thousand miles of wilderness.

It's just that this requires mobilizing a lot of manpower and material resources. The annual salary of tens of thousands of monks will cost hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, and setting fire to the mountains will probably have a great impact on the environment of a hundred thousand miles of wilderness.

Thinking of this, the old patriarch said: "If it is burned every year, will it turn the Eastern Wilderness into a desert?"

“The weeds will never be burned away, but they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”

Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "As long as there is enough water, it will be enough to ensure the prosperity of the Hundred Thousand Miles Wilderness."

The old patriarch nodded, smiled and made suggestions: "We can start step by step and cultivate a large number of second and third level spiritual veins to build the city in the wilderness of the Eastern Region."

"Each city has a population ranging from 100,000 to a million, and monks from the Foundation Establishment and Zifu are sent to guard it."

"When we are promoted to the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan in the future, it is estimated that the one hundred thousand miles of wilderness will be enough to adapt to the survival of mortals. At that time, we can expand the population freely."

As the old patriarch said, he suddenly frowned and said, "It's just that the manpower of the foundation-building monks guarding the area is not enough."

"Foundation-building manpower."

Chen Nianzhi frowned. In recent years, most of the family monks have chosen to build their own foundation monks, and many of them have the status of Zifu.

However, this also resulted in the family having a lot of cultivators in the Purple Mansion, but there were far fewer Foundation Establishment cultivators than ordinary Jindan families.

Generally speaking, a foundation-building monk from the Golden Elixir Clan would start with at least three hundred people, let alone a top Golden Elixir Clan like the Chen family.

But the Chen family currently has less than a hundred foundation-building monks, which is much less than the ordinary Golden Pill Immortal Clan.

Although the family has passed the stage of fanatical pursuit of self-foundation in recent years, and the number of monks choosing to use foundation-building pills has gradually increased, the proportion is still quite high.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said: "Perhaps, I should find a way to increase my confidence in building a foundation by myself."

"It's not that easy."
