In the center of Xuanling Island, pavilions and palaces stand in rows, and monks are constantly passing through them.
Liu Yanzhi led Chen Hongyu to a side hall.
"This palace is specifically responsible for the development of caves on the island. When the ancestors soon cover Xuanling Island with spiritual veins, the construction of the temples and caves on these spiritual veins will also be managed here.
In the future, the functions of this side hall will be greatly increased."
While talking, the two of them had already entered the side hall.
"Senior Brother Liu, why are you here?" There were only a few people in the side hall.
At this time, seeing the two people entering, one of them, a monk from the Foundation Establishment Stage Condensation Stage who seemed to have the highest status, came over and asked curiously.
Liu Yanzhi smiled, patted Chen Hongyu, and said with a smile: "Junior brother Qi, this is my nephew, Chen Hongyu, who is also a clansman of my ancestor."
"It turns out that this junior nephew is Chen Hongyu who, together with junior brother Lan Deqing, surrendered those Xuanming Sect monks."
In Danxia Mountain, if there is not much interaction, the disciples are called each other based on their strength.
If it were not for Liu Yanzhi, Junior Brother Qi should be regarded as a senior brother to Chen Hongyu. But at this time, he and Liu Yanzhi had a close relationship, so Chen Hongyu was automatically a generation shorter.
However, no one pays too much attention to these seniority things. It is just a title. If you should be close to you, you will naturally be close to you. If you should not be jealous of you, you will not be jealous of you.
Immediately, Liu Yanzhi and Junior Brother Qi explained their intention.
"That's it!" Qi Hongye frowned and said: "Brother, Elder He just issued a decree two days ago, stating that if a cave is to be opened on Xuanling Island, all monks must report it to the superior and pass the screening.
If you want to choose by yourself, you must build the cave in the sea near Xuanling Island."
"It's him again!" Chen Hongyu and Liu Yanzhi looked at each other.
Why should a dignified elder of the Golden Core stage have trouble with these juniors? This is too low of status.
"Then if you want to choose a place to open a cave, what other good spiritual veins are there in the nearby sea?"
Hearing his question, Qi Hongye raised his eyebrows and said through his spiritual consciousness: "Come with me!"
As he spoke, he led the two of them into a small room.
Then he took out the first-order and second-order projection magic weapon.
Mana was injected into it, and a map was projected on the wall.
On this wall is a map of the sea area with a radius of 800 miles around Xuanling Island, which Chen Hongyu has seen before.
However, at this time, there are dense symbols carved on the map.
"The ancestor's collection of spiritual veins naturally has other functions.
At that time, the Patriarch will place the collected spiritual veins within the sea area with a radius of 800 miles.
At this time, the mark on the map is the spiritual vein level that will be placed there at that time."
"This is really a big deal!" Chen Hongyu looked at the densely packed but neat signs on the map and secretly smacked his lips.
Seeing that the two of them were a little surprised, Qi Hongye added: "These spiritual veins will be strictly divided according to regions, and every important spiritual vein will have a foundation-building monk stationed there.
I suggest Master Nephew Chen choose this place!"
As he spoke, Qi Hongye pointed to a point on the map, and there was a golden area next to this point.
"This golden area is a large spiritual mine, rich in lapis lazuli.
This kind of lapis lazuli is an excellent material for refining weapons, and the output of this spiritual mine is very high. The combined high and low grade lapis lazuli produced every year is worth 300,000 spiritual stones.
Therefore, although this lapis lazuli spiritual mine is relatively outside the spiritual vein network, it will be safer than most of the hinterland when the golden elixir monks are stationed here."
"Here!" Chen Hongyu stared at the point on the map and fell into deep thought.
The spiritual vein network that the sect is about to establish will be numbered according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
This spiritual vein is labeled Jiayou San and is only more than a hundred miles away from the edge of the spiritual vein network that will be established in the future. If there is a raid by Xuanming Sect monks, they will naturally bear the brunt.
But because it is close to the lapis lazuli vein and has golden elixir stage monks stationed there, it seems even safer.
Moreover, this lapis lazuli vein is the largest of the three large veins, and the leader of the Ninth Hall of the Preacher Hall, Zhang, is personally in charge of it.
"Then choose this Jiayou three spiritual veins!" Chen Hongyu calmed down and made up his mind.
Qi Hongye smiled and said: "Although the spiritual network has not yet been laid, the place you chose already has a spiritual vein, so you can open a cave right away.
If we wait until the disciples supported by the sect arrive, all kinds of complicated relationships will arise, let alone whether the chosen cave is to our liking, I am afraid that I will not even have the right to choose independently, and I will have to reluctantly find a qualified place.
.
And now, you can go to that Jiayou three spiritual veins in advance to have a look and see if it suits your needs."
After choosing the spiritual veins, Chen Hongyu immediately took the token and Liu Yanzhi came to the place where the three Jiayou spiritual veins were located.
This spiritual vein is located in the seabed. It is a third-level high-grade spiritual vein. It has rich water spiritual energy and can also grow some water spiritual grass.
There is also a small spiritual mine nearby, but there are not enough manpower to mine it at this time. All the sect's free manpower is used to mine the large spiritual mine.
Thirty miles east of the spiritual vein is where the lapis lazuli mine is located. Groups of Qi-training monks patrolling around this spiritual vein can be seen from time to time.
"It's not bad. Let's choose to open a cave here! When the spiritual net is deployed, the monks with caves on the island will also personally take charge of the sea. Uncle Master, please choose a safer place to sit as soon as possible!"
After confirming his choice, Chen Hongyu returned to Xuanling Island to report his choice. After being confirmed by several Xuanling Island crystal monks, he was qualified to open a cave in the spiritual vein.
In the future, when the spiritual network is established, he will automatically become the base-building guard of that area and patrol the nearby sea areas.
With the magic array and materials donated by the sect, Chen Hongyu went to Fangshi non-stop to hire some monks in the foundation building and Qi training stages to follow him to open the cave.
After three days of busy work, spending the sect's subsidy, and putting in nearly 7,000 spirit stones, the cave was finally successfully opened.
The cave is built on a reef on the seabed. It is protected by a third-order formation outside and is guarded by sect disciples inside. It is considered very safe.
Even if the Xuanming Sect disciples attack, as long as the difference in strength is not too great, they can hold on and wait for rescue.
"Island Master, we have taken over the patrol mission for thirty miles around this area. From now on, our Jiayou Sanshui Prefecture will be responsible for patrolling this area."
The person who spoke was Li Ying, who had been following him when he was on Linggui Island. This time he opened an underwater cave, and he also needed to be responsible for patrolling the nearby sea areas. It was impossible that there would be no one under his command, so he transferred the previous Linggui Island to Linggui Island.
At that time, all the monks who were in the late stage of Qi training under his command were summoned.
There are thirty people in total, divided into three groups. Li Ying, who has perfected his Qi training and has relatively outstanding basic combat power, is in charge of a group of monks. At this time, he went to hand over to the monks who originally inspected this place.
While I was thinking, there was sudden fluctuation in the distance.
Through the thick curtain, you can vaguely see a towering Dharma statue standing above the sea.
From time to time, you can hear the huge noise from the nearby seabed as the spiritual veins enter the ground.
"Patriarch Dongyang has returned. It seems that the construction of the spiritual vein network has begun."
