"If we build this stronghold from scratch, it will take at least five years."
"Thanks to Alliance Leader Jiang, he really had the foresight to prepare the transfer point to the Eastern Region so early."
"Huh? When did the leader prepare this stronghold? How did he do it in such a short time?"
Looking at the orderly buildings below, the senior officials of Chongshan League suddenly remembered that Jiang Li had only been in office for a few days.
Moreover, they were the first vanguard troops to come out. How could they be bypassed when it came to mobilizing resources to build a stronghold?
But where did this place come from?
As the flying boat descended, the senior officials were surprised by the magnificence of this building complex.
There is no trace of hasty construction, and everything from material selection to workmanship is of high standard and excellence.
There is even a mortal city specially placed at the foot of the mountain to provide low-level labor for this stronghold.
Could it be that Leader Jiang had robbed a residence run by a wealthy family?
Their guess is very close to the truth.
"Thank you very much for Qingshanju's help. Let's go down."
The flying boat slowly lowered its altitude. There is actually a professional flying boat airport here, which can accommodate more than twenty large merchant ships.
"Qingshanju, could it be the Qingshanju in the city that never sleeps?"
"I remember that they did join the Chongshan Alliance, but shouldn't it be just a business organization established by Jindan monks? I didn't expect that there is such energy in the Eastern Region."
Qingshan Residence in the Evernight City is famous for its top-notch aura living environment. Many of the senior monks and sect disciples present have basically stayed there for a period of time.
I have also heard about the Qingshan layman who is so generous that he does not take high-grade spiritual stones as spiritual stones.
"That Qingshan layman is not from Dazhong Mountain, but he can provide such a level of residence for our Chongshan Alliance. It seems that he also has a close relationship with Alliance Leader Jiang."
Five airships loaded with supplies docked.
"Leader Jiang, elders, Qingshan is fortunate enough to live up to your command."
The Chongshan Alliance flying boat landed and docked steadily at the airport. The Qingshan layman below, with six Jindan monks behind him who also had masks on their faces, stood here to greet it.
"Leader Jiang, everyone from the Chongshan Alliance, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
After taking a large amount of elixirs from Bailian Mountain, Jiang Li's strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Even if he does not rely on the blessing of Jiuyou's clone, he now has a powerful strength that surpasses ordinary Jindan monks.
So he released the Jiuyou clone and came here in advance with the monks who had conquered Bailian Mountain.
There were Situ Etong and others holding secret tokens, and they successfully took over all the industries here.
Then Jiang Li discovered that Bailian Mountain's backhand was really very reliable.
The monks who guard the stronghold here were originally orphans with innocent family backgrounds, and they had never been exposed to the words Bailian Mountain when they were growing up.
They didn't even know who their boss was, they just took care of everything here according to the instructions, waiting for the boss holding the token to arrive at any time.
It is precisely because the foundation of this residence is clean enough that Jiang Li gave it to the Chongshan Alliance in the name of Qingshanju.
On the one hand, the Chongshan League has just stepped out of Dazhong Mountain and is in urgent need of such a place to settle down.
On the other hand, Jiang Li also needs to install a force of his own in the Chongshan Alliance. Only when certain things like this can be done can he feel at ease.
"Elders, please follow the people from Qingshan Residence to find a satisfactory residence."
"Qingshan layman still has several shops in Fengyang City. That is our first step out of Dachhong Mountain. After that, you must open up the shipping route from Dazhong Mountain to here as soon as possible."
"We encountered thirteen large monster beast territories along the way. We will not be able to follow the ship in person in the future, so we will communicate with those monsters if we can. If we cannot communicate, we will destroy them directly. Thank you all for your hard work."
"Uncle Guangling, please stay here for a while. The others can rest first."
Jiang Li gave a brief explanation. This was actually something that had been discussed at the Chongshan meeting.
After letting everyone else go about their own business, Jiang Li left Master Dongfang Guangling alone.
As the master of rune formations, Dongfang Guangling naturally has to take the lead when the Chongshan Alliance arrives in a new place. So this time, Elder He did not come, but he must come.
"Leader Jiang, I see that everyone in Qingshan Residence from top to bottom is wearing a mask. Their origins are unknown and their identities are unknown. They never show their true colors. Can they be trusted?"
Others didn't say this, but they all had similar thoughts.
Qingshan Residence has only been around for a short time, and its behavior is too generous, so generous that people can't help but feel suspicious. In addition, everyone has a mask that is always with them, which really doesn't make people feel reassured.
But Jiang Li was also helpless.
In the Mazu River Basin, Jiang Li harvested a lot of spiritual root seeds from a battle with the giant Nine Nether Trees, and has transformed all the captives in Bailian Mountain into his own.
Currently, there are six people with golden elixirs, thirty-three people with elixir formation, 517 people with foundation building, and 1,241 people with Qi training.
This is a huge force, and they basically have the unique skill of refining elixirs and practicing qi, making them high-quality subordinates capable of producing and fighting.
But the only problem is that these monks from Bailian Mountain are all wanted criminals from Dazhong Mountain and cannot show their true colors to others.
Before Jiang Li was able to change their appearance, he could only wear masks for now.
"Uncle Guangling, you should call me Jiang Li, otherwise it will be a disrespectful disciple."
"As for the people in Qingshanju, as of now, they are trustworthy."
"Wearing a mask is also an idea of the disciples. If we, the Chongshan Alliance, want to develop well, we must put aside sectarian opinions internally."
"I know that the factional relations within the alliance are actually very serious now. If this continues, it is inevitable that it will turn into a violent conflict."
"So I plan to form another army in the alliance, and each sect will send elite disciples to join. After putting on the mask, there will be no name, no faction, only a code name. By doing this, we can eliminate the sectarianism and allow the Chongshan Alliance to exert greater power.
."
"I will raise this point at the subsequent Chongshan meeting. I hope Master Guangling can help this disciple."
With Jiang Li's current strength, this alliance leader can only do this. To put forward a proposal, he has to canvass votes in advance.
"Your idea does make sense... There is no problem with this."
"But Jiang Li, if you asked me to stay, there should be other matters."
After all, Dongfang Guangling is Jiang Li's fellow martial uncle. Jiang Li's decision-making cannot harm anyone but the Sutra Library Valley.
Therefore, most of the senior officials of Sutra Valley disagreed with his opinion.
But he is also a human being, and he has long noticed that Jiang Li has other desires.
Jiang Li chuckled twice, and then took out a storage bag.
This storage bag is exactly the one that Situ Ting, the second elder of Bailian Mountain, loves.
Jiang Li was worried that the money and silk would attract people's hearts, so he had not opened it yet.
But now he has become the leader of the alliance. Although his power is not absolute, it is not a big problem to protect his own interests.
Moreover, the person he was looking for was his uncle Dongfang Guangling, who thought that the problem was not big.
"Please also ask Uncle Guangling to help this disciple unlock the restrictions on this storage bag."
Dongfang Guangling took the storage bag and looked at it professionally for a long time.
"The quality of this storage bag is not low. That's all. Who made you the alliance leader? Leave it to me."
He raised his hand to make two seals, and drew a blank prohibition on the mouth of the bag.
"Come and leave your mark."
Jiang Li nodded as he was told.
The marks of Nine Ghost Qi and Wine and Fire Spiritual Qi were placed on it.
Then the ban shrank and sealed the mouth of the bag tightly.
This is the work ethic of a Rune Master.
Because the process of cracking the storage bag is very complicated, it often takes several days.
And it is impossible for the client to keep an eye on it all the time. Therefore, before cracking, an additional restriction, which will be completely dissipated once opened, must be added to ensure that the rune master does not open it secretly.
No one can imitate Jiang Li's mark. Once it is opened, no one has the ability to copy another forbidden mark.
After the two separated, Jiang Li found Yan Hong again.
After Jiang Li's power and status have been rising, the reputation of Man Jianghong, a shop that cultivates immortality, has also skyrocketed.
In the city that never sleeps, everyone knows that because someone caused trouble in Manjianghong, Bailianshan, one of the four major sects in Dazhongshan, was directly destroyed!
If you do this, and the leader of the Chongshan Alliance is the shopkeeper behind this company, Manjianghong's business will be in trouble if it can't be good.
The small forces around them even rushed to give them money.
Branches of Manjianghong Inn have opened all over the major mountains. It has become the center for connecting millions of monsters, and a large number of souls from the mortal world of major mountains can be harvested every day.
This time, we have arranged the business at Dazhong Mountain, and the foundation building and Qi training monks from Qingshan Residence will be stationed at various outlets.
He himself came here with Jiang Li.
"Move, move! Don't be lazy!"
"You all, please be careful! If you damage the contents inside, you won't be able to afford the compensation if I sell them!"
When we found Yan Hong, the flexible fat man was supervising the workers moving goods.
Although these are just the lowest-level porters, in fact, they are all internal warriors with high status in the mortal realm.
But in front of the monks, it was nothing.
"Jiang Li, why are you here? Don't you have to deal with other things?"
Manjianghong is very hands-on in everything she does, but her body shape seems to be fixed, and she just can't lose weight no matter what.
He thought Jiang Li should be a hundred times busier than him. But in fact, Jiang Li didn't have to do much at ordinary times.
"I am the leader and not a nanny. I am not needed for these things."
"How about you come with me to visit Fengyang City?"
"What I wish for."
Jiang Li didn't use his ostentatious wooden dragon to signal others to continue carrying and counting the goods.
He just used the Nine Ghost Qi to point out two wooden swords. After the two stepped on the wooden swords, they flew towards Fengyang City, which was five hundred miles away.
Just a moment after they left, the two Yuanying elders also turned into streams of light and disappeared into the sky, following Jiang Li from a distance.
Fengyang City is one of the eight main cities in the Gongweisi Temple.
Its grandeur is truly astonishing.
In broad daylight, one can see the spiritual light of the formations in the city soaring into the sky.
When Jiang and Li landed, they paid six low-grade spiritual stones for the city entrance tax alone.
Yan Hong, a little qi-training fish, only needs one spiritual stone. Jiang Li needs to pay five spiritual stones since he is a foundation-building practitioner.
The price is a bit outrageous. You can imagine that if you go to the Si Temple for a walk, you will need spiritual stones to even breathe.
"You two gentlemen, is this your first time in Fengyang City?"
Jiang Li, who had seen the exaggerated buildings in the Asura world, didn't feel much about everything here.
But Yan Hong seemed a little unfamiliar with the world. He even squatted down with his chubby body and marveled at the refining process of the floor tiles under his feet.
Their appearance, in the eyes of an attentive person, can immediately make many associations.
A man in simple clothes immediately stepped forward and bowed to them both.
"Do you need a guide? The price of a villain must be the cheapest. Everyone in this area knows that children are good."
"Besides, my family lives in Fengyang City. Every inch of land here has the footprints of the villain. No matter what you two young masters are looking for, you can definitely ask the villain."
The way this man talks is very much like the black truck driver at the entrance of the Passenger Transport Center.
When they see a target, they will rush up to chat with them enthusiastically. Monks from other places like this are their favorite.
"A few spiritual stones."
Yan Hong showed his instinct as a businessman and immediately began to bargain with the other party, and finally set the price at four low-grade spiritual stones.
As soon as I walked in, I had already spent ten spiritual stones without doing anything.
"Go to the market area of Fengyang City and take us to find some elixir and spiritual material stores. We want old stores with fair prices and excellent quality."
Jiang Li made his own request. One of the purposes of their visit this time was market research on how the output of the Secret Medicine Garden should be sold here.
"If you want to buy elixirs, the several large elixir shops in Wanyang Tower are recognized as the best."
"Wanyang Tower is jointly controlled by several big forces behind Fengyang City. They strictly supervise the merchants inside, and the elixirs are also subject to regular sampling inspections."
"Although the price is a bit more expensive, there is no problem with the quality."
Xiaosi had no intention of leading Jiang and Li to a nook and cranny, and then ambush and rob them.
In other words, the public security in Fengyang City is pretty good, and there is basically no violence.
"Okay, let's go there first."
Jiang Li nodded, and the other party began to lead the way.
Fengyang City is obviously much larger than Sleepless City.
The location of the stores is very standardized, and there is no sense of disorder or congestion.
This Wanyang Tower is an extremely huge building in the central area of Fengyang City.
This scale has far exceeded the high-rise buildings in previous generations.
Then the embarrassing thing is that to enter the Wanyang Tower, you have to pay the spirit stone...
