Chapter 572 - 470: Postwar Reconstruction

Chapter 572: Chapter 470: Postwar Reconstruction

A grand banquet is held atop Minglong Mountain, and the spring breeze feels most triumphant today.

Lu Qian deliberately refrains from using spiritual power to dissipate the alcohol, and the members of the Yunshan Sect wisely choose not to persuade him otherwise.

After fighting for so many years, can’t we enjoy a little? Play the music and continue the dance!

After getting drunk, Lu Qian, with a swaying gait, was about to find Senior Sister to discuss major development plans, but saw atop Dragon Head Peak, blue flames flickering and roaring. Fairy Nishang, engulfed in fire, was gazing into the distance.

Lu Qian sobered up instantly.

In that direction lies Ningzhou. Seven months remain on Guh Niqiang’s ten-year contract.

He stretched his form and flew to Guh Niqiang’s side. Neither spoke.

"Lu Qian, I am about to leave." After a long time, Guh Niqiang finally spoke, "Seven months left. If there are things to be done or people to kill, make the arrangements swiftly."

At that moment, countless words surged to Lu Qian’s lips, yet he swallowed them back down.

After a moment of silence, Lu Qian finally said, "Successfully crossing the tribulation ahead of time, you should write a letter to Danxia. I’m sure your master and the Danxia Sect will be very happy."

Guh Niqiang nodded indifferently.

Lu Qian continued, "Now that you have attained the Golden Core, it’s customary to have a Daoist name. Do you want to choose one yourself, or let your master bestow one...?"

Guh Niqiang grew restless, feeling that these were not the words she wished to hear. When her golden pupils met Lu Qian’s gaze, she felt even more unsettled.

"What’s the rush, go ahead and pick one for me."

After leaving this sentence, she disappeared in a flash of smoke.

After the partition of the sects, the entire region under the Yunshan Sect’s influence became lively.

Migration, demolition, breaking ground, construction... everywhere was a scene of busy activity.

After the partition, each sect and faction was busy reorganizing or even establishing their own mountain gates. The talisman materials used for construction in Shuangye Square and the corresponding craftsmen were going mad with busyness.

The busiest places were Mingsha Bay and Lingsha City.

There are a large number of Zhou Clan members needing relocation from Mingsha Bay, and the journey to Wenning Mountain is five hundred miles. It’s quite a challenging trip for these mortals.

However, the Zhou clan cultivators were in high spirits. Even the not-yet-fully-recovered Zhou Chao personally commanded, and also posted a floating battleship rental notice in Shuangye Square.

The Zhou family finally has its own spirit vein. Protected by the Yunshan Sect, the Zhou family will take root on Wenning Mountain and flourish deeply and extensively.

Facts prove that the Yunshan Sect is worthy of the Zhou family’s unwavering loyalty.

Currently, there are surprisingly few floating battleships within the entire Yunshan Sect’s territory, and the Yunshan Sect cannot afford to remake Divine Ships, as there are more important matters to attend to now.

That is to rebuild Lingsha City.

The Yunshan Sect now controls the spirit veins of Minglong Mountain, Lingsha City, New Castle, Yongcui Valley, Qingli Mountain, and Liuhua Valley. It is time to adjust the overall production layout.

Minglong Mountain will serve as the headquarters of the Yunshan Sect, functioning as the administrative center, strategic point, treasury location, and the residence and training ground for the elite disciples.

It will be equipped with the Ten Extremes Ten Directions Grand Array and can host up to three Flying Snake Daoist Soldiers.

The area around New Castle, rich in mineral resources, will be developed into the Yunshan Sect’s refining and artifact refining base, as well as a training center for artifact refining techniques. Tao Boliang will be the business head here.

Yongcui Valley will be developed into the New Marketplace’s Exotic Treasures Workshop. This marketplace, based on a secondary spirit vein, is positioned for high-end rare products, a wide array of global treasures, offering exclusive services to mid- to high-end clientele. This venture is a market segmentation attempt by Lu Qian.

Qingli Mountain and Liuhua Valley will serve as border sentinels, contact points for Shuangye Square, and most importantly, as a base for spirit plant cultivation and related technique training. Large areas of various spirit plants have been planted here, but the maturation time for spirit plants is longer than for spiritual medicine, so patience is needed.

Lingsha City will serve as the Yunshan Sect’s base for spirit medicine cultivation, elixir refining, talisman drawing, spirit seed cultivation initiation, and foundational entry.

Based on this positioning, Lingsha City will undergo new planning, flattening ruins for reconstruction. All the spirit seeds, family, and young disciples of the Yunshan Sect will reside within the city.

In the plans, a Golden Core level Mountain Protection Grand Array and a Flying Snake Daoist Soldier will also be installed here in the future.

Of course, Minglong Mountain, as the new mountain gate of the Yunshan Sect, also requires extensive reconstruction. Previously, it was only a post for the Liyuan Sect, with many incomplete functional buildings. Even the council hall was so small that when various sects came to pay respects, they almost couldn’t fit in, and the banquet had to extend outside the hall.

However, from Bichao Mountain, Kongming Mountain, Lingsha City, to now Minglong Mountain, the Yunshan Sect has grown through constant relocation, gaining profound insights into what functions a mountain gate should have and how buildings should be laid out. Now, it’s just about making it fit the identity and grandeur of a Golden Core Sect.

These matters require Lu Qian to set the general direction, but the specific handling is naturally up to Senior Sister Qingfeng and Lin Le.

Lu Qian has countless concerns now.

In late February, a solemn spirit-moving ceremony was completed, and the Heroic Monument Forest was relocated to the Dragon Claw Peak of Minglong Mountain. Besides the monuments moved from Lingsha City, the feats and heroic performances of those who perished in battle have been inscribed on the new steles, for the disciples and future generations to commemorate and pay respect.

Dragon Claw Peak is situated east of Dragon Head Peak, and these heroic spirits will forever rest facing the rising sun, watching over the Yunshan Sect and its disciples.

Looking at the gradually expanding forest of monuments, with each familiar name engraved on the new steles, Lu Qian, suppressing his sorrow, encouraged the disciples, "The deceased are no more; these heroes sacrificed for the Yunshan Sect, for us. As those left behind, we must remember their valor, inherit their spirit, and carry on their responsibilities, to strive ahead. This will be the best consolation for them."
