"If we build this base from scratch, it will take at least five years."

"It's not Alliance Leader Jiang. He really has the foresight to prepare the transfer point to the East Region so early."

"Hmm? When did the leader prepare this stronghold? How did he do it in such a short time?"

Looking at the neatly organized buildings below, the senior leaders of Chongshan League suddenly remembered that Jiang Li had only been in office for a few days.

Moreover, they are the first vanguard troops to come out. How can we possibly bypass them in mobilizing resources to build strongholds?

But where did this place come from? As the flying boat descended, the grandeur of this complex of buildings amazed the high-ranking officials.

There is no sign of hasty construction, and every detail from material selection to workmanship is done to a high standard of excellence.

There was even a mortal city specially built at the foot of the mountain to provide low-level labor for this stronghold.

Could it be that their leader Jiang had robbed the base run by some aristocratic family?

Their guess was very close to the truth.

"Thanks to Qingshanju for its help. Let's go down."

The flying boat slowly lowered its altitude. It turned out that there was a professional flying boat airport here that could accommodate more than 20 large merchant ships.

"Qingshanju, is it the Qingshanju in the city that never sleeps?"

"I remember that they did join the Chongshan League, but shouldn't that just be a business organization founded by a Jindan cultivator? I didn't expect that there is such a force in the Eastern Region."

The top-notch spiritual living environment of Qingshanju in the City That Never Sleeps is well-known. Most of the high-level cultivators and sect disciples present have gone there to live for a while because of its reputation.

I have also heard of Mr. Qingshan, who was so generous that he did not use top-grade spirit stones as spirit stones.

"That Qingshan hermit is not from our Dachongshan, but he was able to provide such a station for our Chongshan League. It seems that he has a close relationship with Alliance Leader Jiang."

Five flying boats loaded with supplies came to a stop. "Alliance Master Jiang, elders, Qingshanju is honored to have fulfilled your mission."

The flying boat of Chongshan League landed and docked steadily at the airport. Mr. Qingshan, with six Jindan monks who also wore masks on their faces, stood below to greet them.

"Alliance Master Jiang, everyone from 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 without relying on the support of Jiuyou's clone, he now possesses powerful strength that surpasses that of ordinary Jindan cultivators.

So he released Jiuyou's clone and brought those cultivators who were subdued from Bailian Mountain here in advance.

There were people like Situ Etong, who held secret tokens and took over all the industries here very smoothly.

Then Jiang Li discovered that Bailianshan’s back-up plan was really solid.

The monks guarding the stronghold here were originally orphans with clean backgrounds, and they had never come across the three words "Bai Lian Mountain" during their growth.

They had no idea who their boss was. They just took care of everything here as they were told, waiting for the boss to arrive with the token in hand at any time.

It was precisely because the foundation of this settlement was clean enough that Jiang Li gave it to Chongshan League for use in the name of Qingshanju.

On the one hand, the Chongshan League had just stepped out of the Dachong Mountains and was in urgent need of a place to settle down.

On the other hand, Jiang Li also needs to place a force that belongs entirely to him in Chongshan League. Only when certain things are done can he feel at ease.

"Elders, please follow the people from Qingshanju to find a satisfactory place to live."

"Mr. Qingshan has several shops in Fengyang City. That is our first step to get out of Dachong Mountain. After that, you must open up a shipping route from Dachong Mountain to here as soon as possible."

"We have encountered thirteen large monster territories along the way. We can't always follow the ship in person in the future, so we will communicate with the monsters if we can, and kill them directly if we can't. Thank you for your hard work."

"Uncle Guangling, please stay for a while. The others can go and rest first."

Jiang Li gave a brief explanation. This was actually something that had been discussed at the Chongshan meeting a long time ago.

After letting everyone else go about their own business, Jiang Li left Uncle Dongfang Guangling alone.

Dongfang Guangling was a master of rune formations, so it was natural for him to lead the charge when Chongshan League arrived at a new place. So even though Elder He didn't come this time, he had to come.

"Alliance Leader Jiang, I see that everyone in Qingshanju from top to bottom wears a mask. Their origins and identities are unknown, and they never show their true faces. Can they be trusted?"

No one else said this, but they all had similar thoughts.

Qingshanju had only been around for a short time, and its style of doing things was too generous, so generous that people couldn't help but be suspicious. Plus, everyone wore masks until death, which really made people feel uneasy.

But Jiang Li was also helpless.

In the Mazu River Basin, Jiang Li fought a great battle with the giant Nine Nether Tree and harvested a lot of spiritual root seeds. He has converted all the captives from Bailian Mountain into his own people.

Currently, there are six people in the Jindan stage, thirty-three people in the Jindan stage, five hundred and seventeen people in the foundation building stage, and one thousand two hundred and forty-one people in the Qi training stage.

This is a huge force. Most of them have unique skills in alchemy and qigong, and are high-quality subordinates who are capable of both production and combat.

But the only problem is that these monks from Bailian Mountain are all wanted criminals from Dachong Mountain and cannot show their true faces.

Until Jiang Li has the ability to change their appearance, they can only wear masks for now.

"Uncle Guangling, please call me Jiang Li, otherwise it would be impolite of your disciple."

"As for the people at Qingshanju, as of now, they are trustworthy."

"Wearing a mask is also an idea of ​​​​a disciple. If we want to develop well in Chongshan League, we must put aside our sectarian prejudices."

"I know that the factional tensions within the alliance are actually very serious. If this continues, it is inevitable that it will evolve into violent conflict."

"So I plan to form another team in the alliance, with elite disciples from various sects joining. After putting on masks, they will have no names or factions, only code names. Doing so will eliminate sectarianism and allow the Chongshan Alliance to exert greater power."

"I will bring this up in the next Chongshan meeting. I hope that Master Guangling can help me."

With Jiang Li's current strength, this is the only thing he can do as the alliance leader. He has to put forward a proposal and canvass for votes in advance.

"Your idea does make sense... There is no problem with this."

"But Jiang Li, you asked me to stay, there must be something else."

After all, Dongfang Guangling is Jiang Li's fellow uncle, and Jiang Li's decision will not harm anyone else but Sutra Valley.

Therefore, basically no senior officials in Zangjing Valley disagreed with his opinion.

But he was also a smart man and had long seen that Jiang Li had other intentions.

Jiang Li chuckled twice, then took out a storage bag.

This storage bag belongs to the second elder of Bailian Mountain, Situ Tingxin.

Jiang Li had not opened the box because he was worried that money would tempt people.

But now he has become a leader after all. Although his power is not absolute, it is not a big problem for him to protect his own interests.

What's more, the person he was looking for was his uncle Dongfang Guangling, so he thought that the problem would not be serious.

"I would like to ask Uncle Guangling to help me unlock the restrictions of this storage bag."

Dongfang Guangling took the storage bag, raised his brows and looked at it for a long while with a professional look.

He raised his hand and made two hand seals, then drew a blank restriction at the mouth of the bag.

"Come, leave your mark."

Jiang Li clicked it as he was told.

The marks of the nine ghost spirits and the wine and fire spirits were placed on it.

Then the restriction contracted and sealed the bag tightly.

This is the work ethic of the Rune Master.

Because the process of cracking the storage bag is very complicated, it often takes several days.

And the client can't be watching all the time. So before breaking it, an extra restriction must be added, which will completely dissipate after opening it once, to ensure that the rune master doesn't open it secretly.

No one can imitate Jiang Li's mark. Once it is opened, no one will be able to copy the restriction again.

After the two separated, Jiang Li found Yan Hong again.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

As Jiang Li's power and status rose, the fame of the Xiuxian shop Man Jiang Hong also became extremely popular.

In the City That Never Sleeps, everyone knows that because someone caused trouble in Manjianghong, Bailian Mountain, one of the four major sects of Dazhongshan, was directly destroyed! With this happening, and the fact that the leader of the Zhongshan League is the boss behind this, it would be strange if Manjianghong's business was not doing well.

The small forces around them even rushed to send them money.

The branches of Manjianghong Inn were opened all over Dachongshan Mountain, becoming the hub for connecting millions of monsters, and harvesting a large number of souls from the mortal world of Dachongshan Mountain every day.

This time, the business in Dachongshan has been arranged, and the foundation-building and Qi-cultivating cultivators from Qingshanju are stationed at various outlets.

He himself came here with Jiang Li.

"Get moving! Don't be lazy!"

"You all better be careful! If you damage anything inside, you won't be able to pay for it even if you sell it!"

When we found Yan Hong, the nimble fat man was supervising the workers in moving goods.

Even though these are just the lowest-level porters, in fact, they are all internal martial artists with very high status in the mortal world.

But in front of the monks, it was nothing.

"Jiang Li, why are you here? Don't you have to take care of other things?"

Yan Hong personally takes care of all the affairs of Man Jiang Hong, but his body shape seems to be frozen and he just can't lose weight.

He thought Jiang Li should be a hundred times busier than him. But in fact, Jiang Li didn't have to do anything at all.

"I'm the leader, not a babysitter. I'm not needed for these things."

"How about you accompany me to visit Fengyang City?"

“I couldn’t ask for more.”

Jiang Li asked others to continue moving and counting the goods, and did not use the ostentatious wooden dragon.

He simply used the Nine Ghosts' Spiritual Energy to bring out two wooden swords. After the two men stepped on the wooden swords, they flew towards Fengyang City, which was five hundred miles away.

Just a moment after they left, the two Nascent Soul elders also turned into streams of light and disappeared into the sky, following Jiang Li from a distance.

This Fengyang City is one of the eight main cities of the Gongweisi Temple.

Its grandeur and vastness are truly astonishing.

In broad daylight, one could see the spiritual light from the city's formation rising into the sky.

When Jiang Li and his companion landed, they paid six low-grade spirit stones as the city entry tax alone.

Yan Hong, a small fry who is practicing Qi, is worth one spirit stone, while Jiang Li, who is at the foundation-building stage, needs to pay five spirit stones.

This price is a bit ridiculous. If you go to the Temple of the Gods for a walk, you will need spirit stones even to breathe.

"Gentlemen, is this your first time in Fengyang City?"

Jiang Li, who had seen the exaggerated buildings in the Asura Realm, was not very impressed by everything here.

But Yan Hong seemed a bit unsophisticated. He even squatted down with his chubby body, looking at the refining process of the floor tiles under his feet in amazement.

Anyone who is attentive can immediately make many associations with their appearance.

A man in plain clothes immediately stepped forward and bowed to both of them.

"Excuse me, do you need a guide? My price must be the cheapest. Everyone in this area knows that I am honest and trustworthy."

"Besides, my home is in Fengyang City. Every inch of land here has my footprints. No matter what you two gentlemen are looking for, you can always ask me."

The way this guy speaks is just like the illegal taxi driver outside the passenger transport center.

When they see a target, they will rush up and chat with him/her enthusiastically. Monks from other places like this are their favorites.

"A few spiritual stones."

Yan Hong used his instinct as a businessman and immediately began to bargain with the other party. In the end, he set the price at four low-grade spirit stones.

As soon as he entered the door, he had spent ten spirit stones without doing anything.

"Let's go to the market area of ​​Fengyang City and take us to a few medicine and spiritual material stores. We need old stores that offer fair prices and excellent quality."

Jiang Li put forward his own requirements. One of the purposes of their visit this time was to do market research. How should the output of the secret realm of the medicine garden be sold here?

"If you want to buy elixirs, the several large elixir shops in Wanyang Building are recognized as the best."

"Wanyang Tower is jointly controlled by several major forces behind Fengyang City. They strictly supervise the merchants inside, and the pills are also sampled and inspected regularly."

“Although the price is a bit higher, there is no problem with the quality.”

Xiao Si had no intention of taking Jiang Li and the other man into a corner and then ambush and rob them.

In other words, the public security in Fengyang City is quite good, and there are basically no overt violent incidents.

"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 the City That Never Sleeps.

The locations of the stores are arranged very regularly, without any sense of disorder or congestion.

The Wanyang Tower is an extremely huge building located in the central area of ​​Fengyang City.

This scale has far surpassed the skyscrapers of previous lives.

The embarrassing thing is that to enter the Wanyang Tower, you have to pay spirit stones...
