After completing the reconstruction of Lin Xiaoran's meridians, Feng Shao began to devote most of his energy to the third thing.

This thing is to create a foundation that is completely your own.

Feng Shao actually had this idea a long time ago, but at that time he was limited by his ability and energy and could not complete it. However, he had made many plans and deductions in private, so he had some plans in mind. After integrating the memories of the Xihe Palace Master, he was more confident about establishing a foundation.

However, his goal in establishing a foundation was different from that of others. In the Upper Realm, when cultivators established a foundation, they would either establish a sect, a power, or a city.

Feng Shao's plan is to establish a country.

Yes, a country. A country with clear rules and laws, which can ensure the survival and basic status of its citizens and has unlimited potential.

As mentioned above, it is almost impossible to create a country in the Upper Domain. Due to the existence of cultivation, the combat power between individuals is infinitely magnified, and as a result, the role of the army is infinitely reduced. In this case, it is difficult to ensure the establishment of a system.

The consequence of infinitely magnifying personal strength is that personal will is infinitely magnified, which leads to the emergence of rule-breakers who do not abide by the rules. Although it is unpleasant to say that the strong prey on the weak in the world of cultivation, it is not without reason.

Throughout the history of the Upper Domain, there were many people with great talents and strategies who, relying on their own strong power, established a powerful empire. However, this kind of country is essentially an enlarged version of a city-state, and the essence of a country is more like a loose alliance of city-states.

The supreme ruler's orders are difficult to get out of the capital, and the lower levels of management are also just following orders but not announcements. Although the ruler can use force to suppress a region and force people to submit, most of them are just lip service and unwilling to obey. Especially when the population base is sufficient, all kinds of geniuses will emerge as if they are free. These geniuses hold the idea of ​​"replacing him" and constantly challenge the supreme ruler.

No one can be invincible forever, so in the end, the emperor was killed by a genius, and the empire changed hands.

However, the genius who replaced him was killed by another genius not long after that.

Under mutual attacks, the upper domain fell into chaos again.

Establishing a country in the Upper Domain seemed impossible from the characteristics of this world. However, Feng Shao believed that as long as one problem was solved, the dream of establishing a country might not be a pipe dream.

The problem that needs to be solved is the exaggerated gap in strength between individuals.

It is said that immortals regard mortals as ants, but this is actually an understatement. A large number of ants can kill a person, but no matter how many mortals there are, they cannot threaten immortals. Only when mortals have the ability to kill immortals can true equality for all be achieved.

Is it possible? It seems impossible, but Feng Shao, who traveled from the present world, doesn't think so.

Because he felt that no matter how powerful an immortal was, he could not withstand antigen bullets.

The world is different from the world, and there is a big gap between this world and the real world. However, although this world may not be able to make an atomic bomb, it can try to make something else.

For example, guns, artillery, and even missiles powered by spiritual power.

Some people may think that the style of painting here seems a bit distorted, but if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is actually not much different from the so-called magic weapon, right? It's just that the applicable population has changed from monks to mortals.

Feng Shao didn't know if he could succeed, but he wanted to give it a try. Even if he failed, at least he had been a pioneer and accumulated experience for those who came after him.

You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Feng Shao's goal is very ambitious, so he can't achieve it all at once. Therefore, his current plan is to build a city.

A new city.

In the upper domain, building a city often depends on the following conditions: water and land transportation, resource specialties, and spiritual stone veins. Among them, spiritual stone veins are the most important, and the other two can be ignored.

Although the Upper Domain is vast, the places where cities can be built have basically been occupied. However, this does not mean that latecomers have no way out.

If you are confident in your own strength, you can find a city that you like, then rush into the city lord's mansion and kill the city lord's family. In this way, the city lord's city is yours, the city lord's property is yours, the city lord's subordinates are yours. Even if you want, the city lord's wife and daughter can be yours.

If you don't have that much confidence in your own strength, then you have to be patient. You need to wait, wait for a certain unlucky city to be flattened by a certain immortal, and then there will be a ready-made site for building a city.

As for why the city was crushed by the immortal, it is hard to say. It may be that he fell in love with the daughter of the city owner but the other party refused to hand her over, or he may have set his eyes on the local specialty and wanted to grab a piece of it, or it may be that some unlucky guy accidentally offended the immortal and dragged tens of thousands of unlucky guys who were even more unlucky than him to the west together...

It is also possible that when the immortal flew over the city, he suddenly wanted to try out the new palm technique he had learned, or he was simply in a bad mood and didn't like the city...

It is said that the most unbelievable thing in history was that a certain immortal flew over a city, fell asleep on the way, and accidentally rolled down his flying sword, which directly smashed the entire city...

Therefore, being an ordinary person in this fantasy world is far more precarious than being an unlucky person in the real world.

In addition, due to various natural and man-made disasters, such as mountain ruptures, river diversions, and the elevation of spiritual stone veins, a place that was originally unsuitable for building a city may suddenly become suitable for building a city. However, such things are relatively rare, and whether you can encounter them depends entirely on luck.

Feng Shao was confident in his own strength, but he was not strong enough to go head-to-head with the lord of a city, and that was not his style. As for patience, he had it, but not much. As for luck... Feng Shao felt that his luck was pretty good, but he did not want to rely on it.

He decided to rely on knowledge.

There are also many geographical maps in the ancient books he has. Among them, the geographical maps of Qiankun Palace are the most detailed, and some special minerals discovered have also attracted Feng Shao's attention.

Among the many minerals in the Upper Domain, Spirit Stone is undoubtedly the best hard currency. It can be used for cultivation, it can also be used for trading, and even many sects use it as a building material to build buildings such as training towers and meditation rooms. In addition, various types of materials used to build weapons and magic tools are also in great demand.

In the geographical atlas of Qiankun Palace, a kind of mineral that Feng Shao had never heard of before was identified: natural spiritual energy.

As we all know, spiritual energy permeates between heaven and earth and is everywhere. The only difference is that it is dense in some places and thin in others. However, the natural spiritual energy marked on geographical maps is different from the spiritual energy that everyone is familiar with. According to Feng Shao's understanding, this thing seems to be a bit like natural gas in the world, except that natural gas is used for burning fire, while natural spiritual energy is used for cultivation!

The concentration of natural spiritual energy is extremely high, so high that it must be diluted before it can be absorbed. Moreover, the efficiency of absorbing natural spiritual energy is much higher than that of absorbing spiritual stones. In addition, its reserves are abundant and mining is simple, so its value is even much higher than that of spiritual stone veins.

It is recorded above that natural spiritual energy is widely distributed in the Upper Domain, but it is buried very deep. The shallowest natural spiritual energy vein is at least 300 meters from the ground. Few forces would mine veins buried so deep, and therefore the natural spiritual energy can be buried deep underground for tens of thousands of years without being noticed by the world.

I don’t know what means Qiankun Palace used to find such a thing.

But then, Feng Shao remembered the Earthly Spirit Chapter, which ranked second among the Ten Treasures of the Universe. Perhaps it was with the help of the Earthly Spirit Chapter that the Universe Palace discovered the existence of natural spiritual energy.

After comparing with the current map, Feng Shao quickly found a suitable location for building a city.

This place is located beside a branch of the Lishui River, about 700 miles south of Yunjian Pavilion. There is a small village that has lived here for generations. Because the river is narrow and cannot be navigated by boat, and there are no special minerals, few people would be interested in this place, so this small village lives a leisurely and safe life.

About thirty miles downstream from the small village, there is a natural spiritual energy vein, buried nearly four hundred meters underground, which is a relatively easy-to-mine natural spiritual energy vein. As for the reserves, it is slightly lower than the total proven reserves of the spiritual stone veins owned by the three major holy places in Dongzhou. Feng Shao made a rough estimate and found that this vein can be mined continuously for at least five hundred years before it is exhausted.

As for the economic value... conservatively estimated, it is equivalent to 30 billion spirit stones.

If you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences. If you turn a blind eye to such a huge treasure hidden right under your nose, wouldn't you be a fool?

With this natural spiritual energy vein, the basic requirements for building a city are met. As for the problem of the river being too narrow and the water flow being too small, it can be solved by digging an artificial canal.

Well, now that the location for the city has been found and the way to make money has been thought of, the only problem is manpower. Yunjian Pavilion is not short of manpower, but since Feng Shao wants to create his own foundation, if he uses the manpower of Yunjian Pavilion, in the eyes of outsiders, it will not be Feng Shao starting a business, but Feng Shao expanding the territory for Yunjian Pavilion.

Don’t underestimate this title. If it is not handled properly, it will easily affect Feng Shao’s subsequent development plans.

Feng Shao thought about it for several days, but still couldn't figure out where to recruit people. Just when he was at a loss, two groups of people suddenly came to Yunjian Pavilion. When he saw these two groups of people, Feng Shao immediately realized that he didn't have to worry about the problem of manpower.

Because the ones who came to Yunjian Pavilion were the head monk and the second branch disciples of Taiwei Sect.
