Two years later, on an inconspicuous piece of sand in the vast sea of sand, a giant blue ship suddenly flew over.
After the building ship flew to its destination, it fell into the sky and unloaded all the more than a hundred monks inside. Then, a young man in a light golden robe raised his hand and shrank it into a storage ring.
middle.
The young man was none other than Zhou Yang, and the monks he loaded here on the empty ship were all water and wood cultivation monks specially hired by the Zhou family to create a new oasis.
"Tai Shang Elder, this is the place. If you dig down three hundred feet from this place, underground water will emerge. There must be an underground river deeper down."
Next to Zhou Yang, Huang Yi, who had come with him, waited for him to put away his magic weapon, then pointed to the sand below and introduced him to the situation here.
Five years ago, Huang Yi accepted the mission assigned to him by Zhou Yang and went to Xijiaozhou to explore the road, and along the way he buried a "magnetic traction array" at the water source.
Five years later, after hard work, he finally lived up to Zhou Yang's trust and successfully drew a detailed road map. Then he returned to Chihu Mountain Oasis with his results and handed in a mission to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang also kept his word. After he came back, Dangjie gave him a Foundation Establishment Pill, and then recruited him as a guide to lead the Zhou family's oasis construction team deep into the sand sea to build an oasis.
The place where they are now is the first water source point leading to Xijiaozhou marked by Huang Yi.
This place is more than five thousand miles away from the nearest oasis in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World. There are vast yellow sands in all directions, with no trace of green in sight. It is a real restricted area of life.
"Guangxiang, you have also heard what Huang Daoyou said. You already know how important it is to create an oasis. You must do it well and do it as soon as possible. If you need anything, you can report it to the family!
"
Zhou Yang withdrew his gaze from the piece of sand that Huang Yi was pointing to, and made an explanation to Zhou Guangxiang next to him with a serious face.
Zhou Guangxiang is the only monk among the several foundation-building monks of the Zhou family who practices the wood system. Zhou Yang had asked her to lead the water and wood system monks recruited by the Zhou family a few years ago to use the spiritual veins of Haoyang Mountain as a pilot.
Try to summarize ways to quickly create a new oasis.
Now several years have passed, and after many experiments, their team has summed up a set of effective methods.
At this time, hearing Zhou Yang's explanation, Zhou Guangxiang's pretty face suddenly tightened, and she quickly responded: "Uncle Jiu, please rest assured that my niece will build this new oasis as quickly as possible!"
"Well, let's build up the spiritual veins first!"
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, but gave instructions to the two Zhou Family Array Masters who were following him.
Since the Zhou family gave birth to Zhou Guangxiang, a third-level formation master, it has become much easier to train formation masters than before. In addition, the Zhou family's population and financial income have continued to rise over the years, and it is not difficult to train a few more formation masters.
.
Nowadays, in addition to Zhou Guangxiang, who has been successfully promoted to a third-level mid-level array mage, the Zhou family also has three second-level array mage and four first-level array mage.
This time to create a new oasis, Zhou Yang specially mobilized two second-level array mages to help arrange the spirit gathering array and build artificial spiritual veins.
On the map Huang Yi brought back, there were a total of twenty-five water source nodes, which meant that the Zhou family needed to build twenty-five artificial oases and artificial spiritual veins on these twenty-five water source nodes.
According to Zhou Yang's plan, each man-made oasis must have an area of at least three million acres, and must have at least a second-level high-grade man-made spiritual vein.
Only when the oasis is large enough can it withstand the erosion of sandstorms, and only when it has spiritual veins can it arrange formations and send monks to garrison it.
Zhou Yang named this plan the "New Home Plan", as the name suggests. Through this plan, he wanted to open up a new home for the Zhou family and the monks in the boundless sand sea cultivation world.
According to his plan, the Zhou family will continue to invest millions of spiritual stones in this plan, create 25 oases on the map at the rate of one oasis in three years, and artificially build a "road of life" leading to Rhinoceros Continent.
road".
Rhinoceros Continent is far away from the current activities of immortal cultivators. If such an oasis channel is not created there, even if the Zhou family occupies Rhinoceros Continent, it can only treat it as an enclave and cannot completely occupy and develop it.
And through Zhou Yang's plan, twenty-five man-made oases are used as a link to connect Rhinoceros Continent with the boundless sand sea cultivation world, so ordinary monks in the Qi training period can also venture to Rhinoceros Continent through constant transfers.
Yes, adventure.
Originally, the agreement reached between Zhou Yang and Cao Wenjin was that, except for the oases that Huangshamen transferred to the Zhou family, the Zhou family would never occupy any oases that Huangshamen belonged to, not even the oases of the vassal families.
This actually locked up the future development of the Zhou family and eliminated the possibility of the Zhou family becoming a giant like Huang Shamen.
But this agreement is not without loopholes.
The loophole is actually very obvious, that is, the oases and vast sand seas that are not under the rule of Huangshamen. As long as the Zhou family can develop and occupy them, they can develop them to their heart's content.
Unfortunately, Rhinoceros Island is also among them.
Zhou Yang's plan is that the Zhou family will provide money and effort to connect Rhinoceros Continent with the current world of immortality, and then all the land along the way will be nominally owned by the Zhou family.
Any monk who discovers a new oasis in this area and wants to occupy the new oasis and start a new family must submit to the Zhou family and become a vassal of the Zhou family. Otherwise, the Zhou family has the right to attack it and no one is allowed to interfere.
After half of the planned man-made oases are completed, Zhou Yang will sell the map leading to Rhinoceros Continent to those casual cultivators, and encourage those casual cultivators to venture into this area and help his Zhou family explore the situation in this area.
At the same time, he will promise these casual cultivators that as long as a new oasis is discovered in this area, the Zhou family will support them in establishing a family and provide them with basic protection. If they do not want to establish a family, they can also sell the oasis to the Zhou family.
And if a mineral vein is discovered, as long as the mineral vein information is sold to the Zhou family, a generous reward can be obtained.
Zhou Yang believed that attracted by these favorable conditions, countless unsatisfactory and adventurous casual cultivators and family monks would come here to explore the new world.
When these monks come, they must stop at various oases created by the Zhou family for supplies. The treasures obtained from the expedition will naturally be sold to the Zhou family's stores nearby.
If things go on like this, the spiritual stones that the Zhou family has spent on building a new oasis will be able to be earned back with profits from these casual cultivators.
"Jiang Yuyan's lifespan is about thirty years. I have made an agreement with her to go to Rhinoceros Continent in twenty-seven years to drive out the fifth-level monster. By then, as long as we successfully drive out the fifth-level monster, we will
We can start work on both lines to speed up the creation of an oasis. Calculated in this way, the construction period can be shortened by at least one-third!"
Above the sand sea, Zhou Yang looked at the low-level monks below who were busy casting spells to dig and guide the underground water to flow out. Thinking of his plan, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
If his "new home plan" can succeed, the foundation of the Zhou family's thousand-year-old family will be completely laid, and the spiritual veins he will need to form pills in the future will also be obtained at once.
To establish a second-level high-grade spiritual vein out of nothing, even with the assistance of the spirit gathering array, it would cost 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
After Zhou Yang waited for the two formation masters of the Zhou family to set up the spirit gathering formation, he threw the spirit stones into the formation.
In the next year, the formation will slowly extract the spiritual power from the spiritual stones and integrate them into the earth's veins, thereby forming a spiritual gathering effect, attracting the spiritual energy within dozens of miles around to gather here.
Only when the pulse is completely completed.
At the same time, those monks who practiced water-based exercises also guided the clear water deep underground to the ground with the help of spells and formations.
Then, using the clear water as a guide, these monks took turns casting spells in batches to turn the water vapor into rain clouds, which evenly spread over an area of several miles around, first infiltrating and transforming the sandy soil.
When the sandy land turns into clay soil, those wood-type cultivators will sprinkle grass seeds on the land, then use wood-type regeneration spells to promote grass seeds, and finally turn the withered grass seeds into fertilizers and sink them into the ground.
fertile land.
It is not difficult for more than a hundred monks to take turns and work continuously to create a small to medium-sized oasis within three years.
Of course, behind this seemingly easy task is the large amount of spiritual stone materials consumed by the Zhou family in hiring these monks.
According to the contract signed between the Zhou family and these people, as long as a fifth-level water-based martial arts practitioner officially starts working, he can receive one hundred low-grade spiritual stones from the Zhou family every year, and the spiritual stones that replenish his mana will also cost him
All the food and drinks were provided by the Zhou family.
Calculated in this way, even if you exclude the thirty or forty Zhou family disciples, relatives, and guests among these monks, the annual employment fee paid by the Zhou family to these monks is as high as more than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!
If some monks hadn't been willing for the Zhou family to pay off their bills with spiritual talismans, elixirs, and magical weapons, it would have been really difficult for the Zhou family to raise such an infrastructure team that swallowed gold as much as dirt.
However, Zhou Yang believes that all this effort is worth it.
Infrastructure investment is always like this. The initial cost is huge, and you have to sit back and collect the money later.
As long as the twenty-five man-made oases are completed, all the Zhou family's investment will be recovered tenfold or a hundredfold in the following thousands of years.
Zhou Yang returned to Chihu Mountain after the construction of the oasis officially started. He had already made a plan, and all he had to do later was for the monks of the Zhou family to implement it according to his plan.
And with Zhou Guangxiang, a foundation-building monk of the Zhou family, supervising the scene, he was not afraid of those monks taking money and not working, let alone monsters and bad guys coming to attack.
You must know that Zhou Guangxiang has not only reached the fifth level of foundation building, but also carries a third-order low-grade monster flying divine leopard in his carry-on spirit beast bag. There is also a third-order mid-grade puppet beast and a third-order mid-grade puppet beast in his storage bag.
A fourth-level beast soul talisman.
With these trump cards in hand, unless there are Zifu period monks and fourth-level monsters attacking, even three or five Foundation-building monks will not be her opponent.
