Translator: 549690339
The conflict among Nascent Soul Stage cultivators had a significant impact.
After two Nascent Soul Stage human cultivators and three Nascent Soul Stage Demon Clan cultivators perished, finally, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator stepped in, putting a stop to the escalating battle.
The dead Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could not be revived, once again demonstrating the cruelty of the cultivation world.
After a turbulent year, peace was restored once more in the East Territory.
There were only nine major cities in the East Territory, and now with one gone, the region that was formerly under the control of Thousand Tortoise City no longer had a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator as its guardian, causing a swift decline in its prosperity.
Even the Ye Family’s business suffered a considerable impact.
Fortunately, there was still the support of Thousand Leaf Market, though profits had been halved.
Ye Family, on the Third Immortal Island.
Ye Jinsen was riding a Red Dragon, soaring in the sky, roaring loudly.
After a year of healing and the usage of numerous precious medicines by Ye Jinsen, the wounds of the Red Dragon had completely healed. The Dragon was even tamed by Ye Jinsen, becoming his protective spirit beast.
However, the Red Dragon seemed to have its mind damaged, its Spiritual Soul was damaged.
Even when its Spiritual Soul was restored through elixirs, its memory did not recover, it completely forgot all of its past reminiscences.
Ye Fan had tried to repair it, but to no avail.
Ye Fan had once again refined a batch of Soul Restoring Elixirs and gave them to Ye Jinsen for the Red Dragon to consume.
Packing up the Pill Furnace, Ye Fan felt somewhat worried.
With the loss of Thousand Tortoise City, the Ye Family’s profits had decreased, yet their daily consumption of Spirit Stones and elixir resources had not dropped.
At this rate, the resources of the Ye Family would not suffice.
A major city without a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator simply couldn’t be sustained.
Otherwise, any Nascent Soul Stage Demon would be able to annihilate the city, no one would be able to conduct business with peace of mind.
And now, in the region of Thousand Tortoise City, aside from Ye Fan, there were no other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
After pondering for a whole year, Ye Fan finally made up his mind.
“Ye Jintian, spread the word, call for a family meeting.”
All members of the family gathered for the meeting.
“With Thousand Tortoise City gone, this area can’t be without a prominent city, so, I plan to expand the Thousand Leaf Market.”
In the past year, because Thousand Tortoise City was destroyed, many nearby cultivators chose to trade at the Thousand Leaf Market.
However, Thousand Leaf Market was still too primitive and lacked a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to guard it. It could only serve as a place for cultivators to trade in from time to time, not a place they would stay in the long run.
Now, Ye Fan planned to expand Thousand Leaf Market into Thousand Leaf City.
Upon hearing Ye Fan’s decision, the Ye Family was very excited.
If the Ye Family could own a city, it would significantly enhance the family’s reputation and the speed at which they collected resources. The benefits to the Ye Family would be immense.
The Ye Family started as a trading group. They used to have Thousand Leaf
Market in Guanghe Prefecture, so naturally, there weren’t any issues in managing a city.
Ye Fan’s proposal was unanimously approved at the family meeting.
Soon, the Ye Family began to mobilize.
Establishing a reliable city on the Ten-thousand Stars Ocean, one that cultivators could trust, is not an easy task.
Even the Thousand Tortoise City, guarded by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and a half-step fourth-grade Formation, was still wiped out by the Water Tribe’s Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
If Ye Fan wanted Thousand Leaf City to become the actual ninth major city, enjoying the same status as the old Thousand Tortoise City, it couldn’t be any worse than the original Thousand Tortoise City, could it?
The resources that needed to be invested were countless.
However, since he had decided to do so, Ye Fan had no intentions of giving up.
A massive amount of resources was shipped to Thousand Leaf Island.
A large number of low-level cultivators helped construct buildings and city walls.
Thousand Leaf Island was not small, building a city on it required a considerable amount of time.
But Ye Fan could wait, and the Ye Family could wait as well.
As days passed, Thousand Leaf Island began to gradually morph.
A giant city wall surrounded the entire Thousand Leaf Island.
Within the city wall, buildings sprung up.
Eventually, even Thousand Leaf Market had to be temporarily relocated to a corner of Thousand Leaf Island.
The Ye Family’s actions certainly didn’t go unnoticed by other families.
When they learned that the Ye Family intended to build a city, many families laughed at their so-called overreaching ambition.
Building a city wasn’t something you could do just by declaring it.
Many families were watching, waiting to see the Ye Family make a fool of themselves!
The Ye Family did not respond, but became even more discreet.
Practice cultivation, make money, build Thousand Leaf City; everything was orderly.
One year, three years, five years.
Every year, the Ye Family invested a lot of resources in the construction of Thousand Leaf City.
On the seventh year, Ye Fan’s Formation skill broke through to the fourth grade.
On the tenth year, Ye Fan’s Talisman cultivation level broke through to the fourth grade.
And the various great families that were initially laughing at them started to take things seriously.
Thousand Leaf City was gradually taking shape.
It didn’t seem very different from the original Thousand Tortoise City.
Many families even began considering if they should move into Thousand Leaf City.
The disappearance of Thousand Tortoise City had a tremendous impact on nearby families.
Now, to exchange resources, they often had to travel to more distant cities.
It was not only dangerous but also time-consuming and laborious. If Thousand Leaf City could be established, it would be beneficial to every family.
However, without a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, could it support a major City?
Could the Ye Family create a miracle?
From laughing at them to now anticipating their success.
It had to be said, the Ye Family’s actions had earned everyone’s respect.
Even if Thousand Leaf City ultimately failed, no one would laugh.
Ye Fan stood in the sky above Thousand Leaf City, looking down at the structure below, filled with numerous emotions.
Ten years, Thousand Leaf City was finally nearing completion.
The resources used to build Thousand Leaf City had a significant impact on the cultivation resources of the Ye Family.
However, it was all worth it!
Once again, it was time for the annual family meeting!
For the past ten years, the Ye Family had kept a tight control over expenditures.
All branches, apart from a portion supported by the main line, were entirely self-sufficient.
“Business Line, one Core Formation peak stage, one Core Formation early stage, this year’s profits…”
“Cultivator Line, one Core Formation peak stage, one Core Formation mid-stage, one Core Formation early stage…’
“Alchemy Line, one third-grade high-rank Alchemist, one third-grade low-rank Alchemist…”
“Artifact Refining Line, one third -grade high-rank Artifact Refiner, one third – grade mid-rank Artifact Refiner…”
Over these ten years, the development of the Ye Family had not been slow, and their cultivation levels had increased considerably.
Even without counting Ye Fan, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, they were considered top-tier among first-class prominent families in the East Territory.
“After ten years of accumulation, we are about to welcome the harvest day of our Ye Family, are you all ready?”
Thousand Leaf City won’t be established so smoothly.
Other families won’t be willing, neither the Water Tribe nor the Beasts would want to see another major city emerge in the East Territory.
And all of these would be trials that the Ye Family would experience next!
“For the Ye Family, we pledge our lives without regret.”
Ye Fan was the first to transform into an Escape Light, flying to Thousand Leaf Island, followed by the rest of the Ye Family.
From his storage bag, three hundred and sixty-five sky rod array flags flew out, covering the entire Thousand Leaf Island.
The Zhou Tian Star Array, set up!
