Chapter 182: Declaring Sovereigns (1)

The fat middle-aged cultivator in front of him was no ordinary person.

It was the ninth qi layer cultivator Chen Daoxuan had met on the way to Yang Linyuan’s Zifu Banquet.

He did not expect so many years to have passed.

The other party had finally polished his True Qi to near perfection and was about to reach the critical point of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Daoxuan still remembered that this fat cultivator’s name was Zhang Zhixian. His family was good at making spirit talismans.

“Fellow Daoist Zhang,”

Chen Daoxuan stood up with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting.” I haven’t seen you for many years. How have you been, Fellow Daoist Zhang?1

He looked at the handsome young cultivator in front of him who had a tall figure and was filled with a faint pressure.

Zhang Zhixian didn’t dare to associate him with the seventh qi layer cultivator in his memory.

How many years had it been?

He had actually succeeded in reaching Foundation Establishment. Not only that, but he had also become the master of this majestic city.

How could Zhang Zhixian adapt to this?

Junior Zhang Zhixian greets Senior Chen!”

Zhang Zhixian did not dare to act recklessly just because he had met Chen Daoxuan once before. He hurriedly bowed.

“Fellow Daoist Zhang, there’s no need to be like this. Since we’re old friends, we can just be friends as equals.”

Chen Daoxuan said with a smile.

“This…”

Zhang Zhixian looked at Chen Daoxuan’s face carefully. Seeing the sincerity on his face, he knew that he was not faking it. A warm feeling surged in his heart.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Chen.

“Haha,”

Chen Daoxuan smiled and said,” 1 didn’t expect to meet an old friend here today. It seems that the fate between us is not shallow.”

Hearing this.

Zhang Zhixian kept nodding his head. His chubby face was smiling so hard that his eyes were almost invisible.

“If I remember correctly, isn’t Fellow Daoist Zhang’s family near the Spiritual Shell Island? Why would you come to my Sea-viewing Immortal City?”

Chen Daoxuan asked curiously.

” Fellow Daoist Chen, you might not know this,” Zhang Zhixian said with a bitter smile.” Last time, 1 attended Ancestor Yang’s Zifu Banquet. After Fellow Daoist, 1 was summoned by Ancestor Yang. The Yang family wanted to recruit me to join the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance, but 1 rejected them.”

He paused for a moment. He was afraid that his Zhang Clan would offend the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance by doing this, and that he would be unable to stand between the Guang’ an Immortal Alliance and the Zhou Clan in the future, so he brought his clansmen and migrated here.”

With just a few words, Zhang Zhixian vividly displayed the helplessness of a small family in front of a large force.

Although Chen Daoxuan had also rejected the recruitment of the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance, he was not afraid that the Guang’ an Immortal Alliance would make things difficult for him because Shuanghu Island was far away from the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance.

Besides…

Not long after, Chen Daoxuan succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and his power soared to the point where he was now comparable to a Zifu Disciple.

Even if Yang Linyuan wanted the Yang family to apologize to Chen Daoxuan, how could he offend the newly risen Chen family?

Zhang Zhixian’s family didn’t have a prodigy like Chen Daoxuan.

If he continued to stay in the territory between Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance and Spiritual Shell Island, even if the Yang family would not take the initiative to attack him, a mere Qi Refinement family, he would not be able to escape.

However, with so many families in the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance working together, it was hard to say if any of them were unhappy with the Zhang family and wanted to take revenge.

At that time, the Zhang family would be in a difficult situation.

Therefore, he had no choice.

Zhang Zhixian’s actions could only be said to be out of helplessness.

Hearing the other party’s explanation. action

Chen Daoxuan nodded in understanding and then smiled.”How is your Zhang Clan’s talisman business in the Seaview Immortal City?”

When it came to the family business, Zhang Xian’s face finally revealed a hint of joy.

He smiled,” Right now, the Eastern Defense Region and the zombie horde of Lianhu Island are at war. The frontlines have a huge demand for spirit talismans. My Zhang family’s business is quite good.” Hearing this.

Chen Daoxuan nodded. If he remembered correctly, the Zhang family was the only family in the entire Seaview Immortal City that sold spiritual talismans.

The current Zhang Clan was quite similar to the Chen Clan that sold magic tools in Guang ‘an City.

It was also full of vigor and vitality, and the family welcomed the opportunity to develop.

To a certain extent.

The chaos in Guang ‘an Prefecture was a reshuffling of the entire structure of the prefecture.

The Zhao family of Guang ‘an Prefecture had been completely destroyed.

Because more than a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators had been killed, and because the Wu family was relatively close to the zombie tide, it would inevitably decline in the future.

What replaced it was the rise of the Chen family.

Although the Chen Clan’s cultivators of the Fu generation were still young, there were not many cultivators of the Dao generation.

However, only those with discerning eyes could see that the rise of the Chen family was unstoppable.

Chen Daoxuan, a genius sword cultivator in his twenties, meant that the Chen family even had the potential to become a Golden Core family in the future.

How could such a family not rise?

Of course.

In Guang ‘an Prefecture, other than the Chen family, which was a newly emerged large family, the other small families also welcomed opportunities for development one after another.

Zhang Zhixian’s family was one of them, but it was definitely not the only one.

From this perspective.

War was indeed something that could break through social classes.

If nothing, this field, the war, the Chen family, although also will rise, but the process is absolutely nothing, so fast now.

Without the Zhou Clan’s approval and the 80 million spirit stones allocated to the western defense zone by the Guang ‘an Prefecture Alliance Army, the western defense zone would have been destroyed.

How could the Chen family have the ability to build an immortal city on Redwood Island?

At the very least, he would have to wait for another ten or so years.

This war had accelerated the rise of the Chen family by at least ten years.

This was what Chen Xianhe had told him. Danger was both danger and opportunity.

To the Chen family.

The corpse chaos in Guang ‘an Prefecture was an opportunity.

For some reason, Chen Daoxuan didn’t even want the war at the front line to end.

This was because the end of the war meant that it would be difficult for the Chen family to reap such a huge war bonus.

Now.

As the production capacity of Changping Pharmaceutical Factory and Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Factory expanded step by step.

The profits from selling pills and magic tools to the frontlines alone amounted to millions of spirit stones.

Even though one million Spirit Stones had been exchanged for battle credits, there was still a net profit of one million Spirit Stones.

Even though he didn’t make a profit of more than a million spirit stones every month.

However, in the past ten months, the Chen family had accumulated nearly ten million spirit stones in profits.

In other words.

The Chen family had almost gathered the spirit stones needed to cultivate the grade-3 spirit vein.

The two of them reminisced about the past.

Their relationship was quite familiar.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Chen Daoxuan said,””Fellow Daoist Zhang, I’m dissatisfied. 1 did invite you here to discuss something.”

When Zhang Zhixian heard this, his eyebrows twitched slightly. He stood up and cupped his hands. He squeezed out a smile with difficulty and said,”No, no, no. What is Fellow Daoist Chen talking about?”

Seeing him like this.

Chen Daoxuan smiled and waved his hand, indicating for the other party to sit down.

When the other party sat down again.

“I don’t know if you feel that it’s quite inconvenient to use spirit stones to trade normally?” Chen Daoxuan continued.”

“Inconvenient?” Zhang Zhixian was stunned at first, but then he remembered that the Zhang family’s income had skyrocketed in the past few months. Their monthly revenue was more than 100,000 spirit stones.

In addition to transporting goods, it was indeed inconvenient to store them.

In the future, if the Zhang family’s business scale expanded further, this inconvenience would definitely be even more obvious.

“It’s indeed inconvenient to use spirit stones to settle the goods, but fortunately, I have a storage bag, so it’s not too inconvenient.”

Zhang Zhixian didn’t know the meaning behind Chen Daoxuan’s words and could only say so.

Chen Daoxuan didn’t waste his breath.

He took out a spirit stone coin and handed it over.”I plan to promote this new currency in the Seaview Immortal City. 1 call it spirit stone coins.

The total amount of this spiritual stone coin was 100 yuan, which was equivalent to 100 spiritual stones.”

Zhang Zhixian took the spirit stone coins from Chen Daoxuan and remained silent.

“Fellow Daoist Zhang, please don’t misunderstand. My Chen family isn’t trying to get something for nothing.

I just want it to replace spirit stones in the Seaview Immortal City. If you go out of the city to trade with others, you can use this spirit stone coin to exchange for spirit stones at any time.”

Zhang Zhixian was smart enough to smell the scent.

“But if that’s the case, wouldn’t all the families in the Seaview Immortal City have a sum of spirit stones stored in your Chen family’s hands?””

“Indeed.”

Chen Daoxuan nodded without denying it.

Hearing this.

Zhang Zhixian heaved a sigh of relief.

To him, a problem that could be solved with spirit stones was not a big problem.

What he was most afraid of was that the Chen Family would learn from the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance and form an alliance.

The small Zhang family really couldn’t afford to participate in this kind of big family conflict game.

It was foreseeable.

In the future, if the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance and the Zhou family really had a conflict, there was a high chance that the Yang family and the Zhou family would be fine, but a large number of small families in the Guang’ an Immortal Alliance would definitely suffer.

These small clans thought that they could rely on the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance and would be able to hold their heads high in Guang’ an Prefecture.

Little did he know that this was the stupidest thing to do.

If other large clans were to compete, and your small clan joined in, other than becoming cannon fodder, was there a second outcome?

Zhang Zhixian was very clear about this.

As for the spirit stone coins that Chen Daoxuan pushed out, in his opinion, it was just to extort a sum of money from the various families of the Sea-viewing Immortal City.

Although the way he ate was a little ugly.

But Zhang Zhixian couldn’t understand.

After all, the Chen family had spent a lot of money to build this immortal city. Just building a grade 3 spirit vein would cost more than ten million spirit stones.

Not to mention that the Chen family had also built more than a dozen grade-2 spirit veins around Redwood Island for the itinerant cultivators and small family cultivators who had migrated over to cultivate spirit fields and spirit herbs.

This was another huge expenditure.

Other than that, building an immortal city was the biggest expense.

Zhang Zhixian found it hard to imagine how much the Chen family had paid to build this immortal city.

Although it seemed that this immortal city was far from being completed.

This proved that the Chen family might have emptied their family’s assets and had no choice but to come up with this clumsy method to take advantage of the various large families in the Seaview Immortal City.

Thinking of this…

Zhang Zhixian immediately cupped his hands and said,”Since it’s the decree of the Sea-viewing Immortal City, my Zhang family will naturally abide by it.””

Seeing how tactful Zhang Zhixian was, Chen Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction.””Alright, Fellow Daoist Zhang is really straightforward.”

“Hehe.”

Zhang Zhixian heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

The two of them chatted for a while.

Chen Daoxuan personally stood up to send him off. This attitude made Zhang Zhixian extremely terrified.

He watched Zhang Zhixian leave.

Chen Daochuan, who had been standing at the side, muttered,””That’s it? The Zhang family is willing to fork out these spirit stones?”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan laughed and said,”So what if I’m willing?

One had to know that this place…The rules of this place are the rules of the Chen family! If they want to establish themselves here, they can only abide by the rules of our Chen family.

Daochuan, you have to get used to your identity!”

Chen Daochuan looked at the domineering Chen Daoxuan and was speechless..
