Chapter 269: Li Muxue travels
Luo Xinghai Islands, Li Muxue piloted a flying boat, flying between the islands, this is already the inland sea of Luo Xinghai Islands, there are very few monsters, so it is very safe.
If it is an open sea, a thin flying boat is very dangerous, it is best to have a huge treasure ship, so as to be safe, Li Muxue is already very familiar with these common senses, because she has been in Luo Xinghai for five years.
Eight years ago, Li Muxue set out from the Heavenly Saint Sect to travel, all the way north, through the Song Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, to the north of the Qin State, and then to Luo Xinghai, which took two or three years on the way.
After that, Li Muxue came to Wind and Fire Island according to the guidance of the night owl, and there was only one Daogang monk in Baizi Painting on Wind and Fire Island, and his prestige was naturally not as good as when Lin Xiao was there, so he could only be regarded as a defender, and he did not open up the territory again.
However, Bai Zihua's internal affairs are still doing well, Fenghuo Island Fang City is still hot, the alchemy room and refining room have a great reputation among the low-level casual cultivation, and they can bring huge profits to Fenghuo Island every year, relying on the production of Fang City and the island, Fenghuo Island also has an income of hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing a year, which is more than enough to feed the monks on the island.
Wind and Fire Island has been in Lin Xiao's hands for forty or fifty years, and the mortals on the island have multiplied extremely fast, more than doubled compared to the beginning, reaching more than 200,000 mortals, and the mortals on the island have cultivated two or three hundred monks, and the highest cultivation has reached the third layer of the Purple Mansion.
And Li Muxue's arrival has made the reputation of Wind and Fire Island a lot louder, and the deterrent effect has increased greatly, because Li Muxue is the third Daogang monk to appear on Wind and Fire Island, and the power of three Daogang monks is already not small.
Li Muxue only lived on Wind and Fire Island for a year, and after refining a few furnaces of pills for the monks on the island, he left, took a treasure ship, and teamed up with a casual cultivator who specialized in hunting demon beasts, and went to the open sea.
The endless sea is completely different from the regional customs of Nanzhou, which gives Li Muxue a very novel feeling, and the level of immortal cultivation in Luoxinghai Islands is also very different from that of Nanzhou, saying that he is backward, it is indeed inferior to Zhongzhou, most places are similar to Lu Guo, but compared with Lu Guo, there are many excellent places.
Especially in terms of fighting, it is more fierce than Lu Guo's side, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are more advanced, and even the alchemy technology is better.
Li Muxue has been floating in the open sea for three years, there have been opportunities, there have been dangers, and some people have plotted against her, but they have all been settled by Li Muxue one by one, those who attacked her all underestimated her, the benefits of divine exercises, the higher the cultivation, the more it can be reflected.
After three years of wandering, Li Muxue felt that the open sea was not interesting, so she went back to Wind and Fire Island, and after talking to Bai Zihua, she was ready to travel to many large islands in the Luo Xing Sea.
Li Muxue landed on a large island with a radius of more than 20,000 miles, entered one of the cities, and slowly wandered around, observing the ecology in the city.
Li Muxue remembered that her master Lin Xiao taught her how to observe the ecology of a city, which could be comprehensively investigated from the number of pedestrians on the road, the speed of the steps, the expression on the face, the level of cultivation, the price of goods, the types of materials and so on.
Li Muxue quickly analyzed the level of this city according to what Lin Xiao taught, this is a typical island immortal cultivation city with Lingguang monks in town, the most of which are naturally all kinds of specialties related to the sea area, Li Muxue bought many special products, and also bought some pills to analyze the alchemy characteristics of the Luoxinghai Islands.
After staying here for half a month, Li Muxue flew to the next big island, one after another, and in two years, Li Muxue visited many islands in Luo Xinghai.
On this day, Li Muxue stayed on Dafang Island, and it has been ten years since she came out, and the pills she took have been used up, and she needs to refine the pills again, so she purchased some elixirs on Dafang Island.
The fourth-order elixir was also very valuable in Luo Xinghai, and it was difficult to get it for a while, so Li Muxue had to find two quite large shops and place an order, which was collected by their firms, and it was expected to take a month or two.
After Li Muxue placed an order, she found a restaurant to eat, and after the meal was ready, Li Muxue took out a crystal cup, and then took out a thousand spirit wine and poured it, the orange thousand spirit wine looked extremely beautiful under the refraction of the crystal cup.
Li Muxue herself is a loyal fan of Qianling Wine, in the past in the Heavenly Saint Sect, she had to drink thousands of bottles of Qianling Wine every year, and she has a tricky taste, ordinary Qianling Wine can no longer satisfy her taste, and she drinks high-end kinds, this expenditure is unacceptable for others, but it is even more useless for Li Muxue.
The disciples above the Purple Mansion of the Heavenly Sage Sect have the right to open up the cave mansion alone, and have a private spiritual field of ten acres, while the Daogang monk is thirty acres, Li Muxue planted all her private spiritual fields with various spiritual fruits, not a single elixir, and when the spiritual fruits are ripe, except for a small amount of direct consumption, they are all used by her to brew Qianling Wine.
You must know that Li Muxue's private spiritual field is a fourth-order spiritual field, and the spiritual fruit trees planted have also been cultivated to the fourth-order, which can't even be cultivated in Baiwu Mountain, and the entire Heavenly Saint Sect is the only one, and Li Muxue will not give it to anyone except for honoring the master every time, and he will enjoy it by himself.
"Hey, isn't this Qianling wine, it's so strong, it's even more advanced than what Brother Lin gave us, and there's a new product on Wind and Fire Island?"
Li Muxue was eating, and suddenly a voice came, Li Muxue looked up and saw that a pair of men and women appeared in front of her, and the girl's bright eyes were staring at the Qianling wine on her table.

Nanzhou Lu Guo Tianyun Prefecture, after ten years of construction, the expansion plan of Gongming City has completed the foundation part, and all the foundations have been carved by Lin Xiao and Xu Zhongsheng together, and the spiritual veins of Gongming City are hooked together.
The next thing is to build the city wall, the cost of the city wall is even greater, in Lin Xiao's planning, the city wall is about ten meters high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, in a trapezoidal distribution, the city wall must be at least five meters wide, and the bottom must be at least ten meters thick, because Tianyun Prefecture also presupposes that there will be large demon beasts among the enemies, if the bottom is not thick, then it will not be able to resist the impact of large demon beasts.
It is impossible for such a thick city wall to be built simply with city bricks, and in the end Lin Xiao decided to use hard boulders to pile through, wrap the outside with city bricks, and then carve a formation on the city bricks, so as to form two defenses, if in the face of the attack of the demon beast, even if the demon beast breaks the formation, it has to break the hard city wall again.
The city bricks used to build the city are more advanced than those used before, reaching the hardness of second-order magic weapons, for this reason, Lin Xiao also specially cultivated a refining team of three hundred people, of course, these three hundred people are not real second-order refiners, they can only refine the skill of city bricks, and then recruited two hundred people from the scattered cultivation.
It took five hundred men to refine enough bricks day and night, day and night, to make enough bricks, and when the boulders arrived, they began to pile up the walls.
This project will take at least three years to complete, for the expansion of this Gongming City, the Heavenly Saint Sect has paid a lot of manpower and material resources, and at this point, Xuanjing has spent at least 30 million, and there are seven or eight hundred people dedicated to this plan.
But there are few people in the Heavenly Saint Sect who oppose it, because Gongming City is too crowded now, and many casual cultivators can't stand the expensive housing prices in Gongming City, so they start to divert out, this is the Xuanjing flowing away in front of them, everyone thinks it's a waste, so there must be a bigger city to accommodate more people.
Even those sects of the Danyang Sect sent messages one after another, asking Lin Xiao if he could invest in shares, and they were all willing to invest money in, but Lin Xiao refused, and the Heavenly Saint Sect had the strength to expand Gongming City alone.
However, Lin Xiao will not treat Danyang Sect and them badly, and has already promised that once the expansion is completed, the forces of Tianyun Prefecture will have preferential treatment for entering Gongming City, and they can be given the most cost-effective land to build shops.
Yes, after the expansion of Gongming City this time, the Heavenly Saint Sect no longer builds the shops in the city, but adopts the planning system, which area the Heavenly Saint Sect plans for the commercial area, and then the major shops who see that piece of land can apply for the construction of buildings, and the purpose, size, and height of these buildings must all be applied, and then they will find someone to build it themselves.
And the Heavenly Saint Sect can give preferential rent, yes, these land Heavenly Saint Sect is not for sale, all of them are rented, and the contracts for shop rental start from twenty years, the longer the time, the cheaper the unit price.
Lin Xiao thought that no one would accept such a system at first, but he didn't expect that there were so many shops that accepted it, especially those with strength, who began to enclose land, and some people were even willing to pay ten or twenty years of rent in advance.
After Lin Xiao asked carefully, he knew that just one Dao Ji Dan gave those shops great confidence, if the Heavenly Saint Sect could really take out a steady stream of Dao Ji Dan for auction, Gongming City would definitely become more and more prosperous, even if it was a Dao Ji Dan for decades, at least Yujing City couldn't do this.
After figuring it out, Lin Xiao decisively adopted the auction system, auctioned some excellent locations, and then invested all the Xuanjing obtained in the expansion, which doubled the speed of expansion, and invested nearly five million Xuanjing every year.
Two years later, the city wall was built, but the moat was not carved, and the vacant land in the city began to be built on a large scale, and the major merchants began to build their own shops, and the entire expansion plan was many times faster than previously expected.
Originally, Lin Xiaodu thought that it would take at least thirty or forty years to complete the expansion, but he didn't expect that as soon as Wei Guoyi transfused, coupled with the development of this planning system, the Xuanjing in his hand was suddenly enough, and tens of millions of Xuanjing were raised, so it took more than ten years to complete the expansion plan.
As soon as the city protection array was completed, the people in Gongming City began to be diverted out in a planned way, and the Heavenly Saint Sect planned to use thirty years to complete the diversion plan, and then use the original Gongming City as an inner city, which was unique to the Heavenly Saint Sect.
