"This place, the scenery seems to be good. ”

Walking on the main island in the center of Jiuwan Island, Li Zhen looked relaxed and said with a little joy in his tone.

"The last time I came, the weather was bad, I only saw the roots of the Lingfeng blessed land, as well as those elixir nurseries, and I didn't pay attention to the scenery here, I never thought that it was also a place suitable for seeing the sea. ”

What appeared in front of everyone at this moment was the boundless sea.

The distant horizon and the vast sea level form a blend of each other, the sea and the sky are the same color, the sun rises, and the cold sky background sets off the whole sea like a transparent gem.

From time to time, you can see some seabirds flying in the far sky, their habitats are nearby desert islands, this Jiuwan Island is not only the surrounding nine spiritual islands, there are some large and small islands and reefs that are more than ten miles in a radius and as small as more than 100 zhang, forming a chain of islands and reefs.

At this time, Li Zhen had already learned that the main island itself was thirty miles in diameter, and the eight affiliated islands around it were slightly smaller, but there were also more than ten miles and only twenty miles, which were connected to each other, and the middle was actually an offshore shoal, and together with those islands without spiritual essence, they were all on a plateau similar to the continental shelf, and the whole was 100 miles long and wide.

The terrain here is high and wide, and large sea beasts and monsters do not like to inhabit it, so it has become a refuge for the sea tribe, and there is also the convergence of cold and warm ocean currents, bringing rich spiritual energy, making the sea area within a radius of thousands of miles form a rich fishing ground, and there are also various treasures and materials generated in the seabed.

Elsewhere, competition for such a fertile land is fierce, and fierce giant sea beasts are often spotted.

Those giant sea beasts are often more than ten zhang in size, and some of them are advanced or talented, and they even reach hundreds or thousands of zhang, and their scale is in no way inferior to the treasure ships built by monks, so they have a great threat to all the islands in the open ocean.

But on the side of Jiuwan Island, the ocean currents and terrain are not liked by those giant sea beasts, and the smaller ones are naturally easy to deal with, which is also one of the advantages it has.

Li Zhen even checked the historical records here, and in the past 10,000 years, there has only been one hurricane of level 12 or higher, and the rest are ordinary typhoons that monks can easily deal with.

Earthquakes and tsunamis are rare, and the area is not located in a seismic zone, and the surrounding terrain is enough to minimize the possibility of a tsunami.

This is crucial to the preservation of the island's facilities, as well as the safety of the lives and property of low-level disciples, mortal servants, and miscellaneous servants.

Based on this alone, it can be said that this is the chosen place, but the impact of natural disasters such as sea island nations, typhoons, tsunamis, and earthquakes must be considered first.

"Li Daoyou, you see, the terrain here is flat, and it is the location where the stewards of the original elixir nursery opened up as a plantation, and their retreat is set up above, on the mountainside, just condescending, overlooking the four directions, and it is very convenient to take care of it. ”

Kuang Li had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery, and pointed to the land in front of him, as well as a hill not far away.

"It's just that this dirt mountain is really lower, unlike those famous mountains and rivers, places of scenic interest......"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "The mountain is not high, and if there is an immortal, it is famous, so it doesn't hurt." ”

"The mountain is not high, but if there is an immortal, it is famous...... Quite right. Kuang Li laughed, and immediately put his mind at ease, "Since this is the case, then simply set up the location of the mountain gate here?"

"Well, I plan to follow the specifications of other spiritual peak blessed lands, the dojo is set up on the mountain, and a small fang market is opened up below, as a residence for outsiders and slaves, from low to high, from the inside to the outside, and the ...... are built in turn."

Although Li Zhen is not a builder, in his dreams, he also tried to patchwork and pile up some buildings, pointing to the front and telling it.

The monk's strength is self-contained, and his dreams are not inferior to virtual reality, and he has tried to build these buildings in his dreams, and now he is naturally confident when he talks about it.

The sect needs to have a meeting hall, a preaching hall, a disciple's residence, a practice room, a treasure house and other facilities, because the incense is a manufacturing industry, and it is also necessary to keep the elixir nursery and the warehouse where all kinds of materials are stored.

The market below also needs to be well planned.

When Kuang Li heard this, he discussed various details with Li Zhen, and finally came up with a plan to build a building on the mountain first, and then slowly expand the city of Shanxiafang.

All kinds of trivial matters, their own money will bear, they will fulfill the promise to support the development of the Jixiang Sect, invest in the construction of this mountain gate rudder, Li Zhen also needs to allocate part of the loan special funds, specifically for this.

Soon after, the group came to the garden below where the elixir was planted.

This area is protected by the magic circle, creating a large field that is like spring all year round, with flowers blooming all year round.

There was a strange fragrance in the air, all of which were valuable exotic flowers and plants.

Among them, there are even some existences that have reached the level of spiritual materials, although they are only not in the stream, but there are more than a hundred and ten plants, and they add up to hundreds of thousands of runes.

"See the Sect Master, the Sect Master's wife, I have seen all the elders. ”

There are people guarding here, and the leader of them is a middle-aged man who looks shrewd and capable, his cultivation is in the middle stage of qi refining, and he has no cultivation prospects, but he was appointed as the head of the nursery and rushed here to take office in advance.

This is a talent that money will help Li Zhen poach from outside, and it is a child of a family surnamed Han on Beixiao Island, named Han Guang.

"Han Guang, you've been here for a few days, how do you feel?" asked with a smile.

"Thanks to the Sect Master's blessing, everything went smoothly in our settlement process, and the spiritual materials in the garden were also well preserved, so it was easy to deal with. Han Guang replied.

"Oh, is it? It seems that the people of the Treasure House didn't leave anything to worry about. Li said.

When Kuang Li heard this, he smiled slightly: "Naturally, for them, the handover here is not an unacceptable thing, besides, they are still counting on Li Daoyou to renew the agreement on the consignment of incense, and even hand over the tea and turnip to their auction for exclusive management." ”

Li Zhen said: "Exclusive operation is impossible, and I will never hand over the control of things like tea turnip to outsiders."

However, everyone will work together to build it into a well-known healing elixir, and I hope that if money is interested, they will also participate in it and find ways to increase its influence. ”

Shang Yuxian hurriedly said: "I will deal with this matter as soon as possible." ”

Li Zhen nodded, and asked Han Guang about the water and soil here, and said to him: "In the future, try to plant the drunken flowers, cinnamon branches, You Ying grass and other things that I handed over to you......"

The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is very capable, and it has collected all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs and young spiritual plants and seeds that Li Zhen may use.

These can be grown by yourself, cutting the cost of making incense.

Han Guang agreed with his mouth.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and said to Li Zhen: "By the way, sect master, the magic finger wood you mentioned last time, the money club also sent someone to send it, and now several pillars have been planted, but the water and soil here are different from the Yuanzhou continent, I don't know if I can support it, even if it is raised, I am afraid that the sexual taste will change." ”

"Oh? Devil's Finger Wood, take me to see it. Li Zhen said.

"This way, please. Han Guang said busily.

Soon after, everyone followed Han Guang to a flat field at the edge of the garden, where dozens of small trees had been planted about a foot high, at first glance, some of them looked like neem trees, but at the end grew branches that looked like chicken feet.

That is, the magic finger wood that the money will send someone to get from Yuanzhou, Li Zhen has been thinking about this thing for a long time, and now he finally has the ability to get it and try to plant it.

"It's a pity, it doesn't seem to have any spiritual essence, and the magic finger wood also has to be divided into spiritual species and ordinary species, even if it is irrigated with spiritual water, it will take at least a hundred years to become a material. ”

Li Zhen sighed lightly and said.

"However, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people ......"

"Whether it is these spiritual plants, crops, or the talents of the sect, they cannot grow in a short period of time. ”

I don't expect this thing to come in handy for the time being, but I also keep in mind that I can produce and sell it in the future.

Moreover, if you don't do these things now, if you don't do these things that seem useless at first glance, you will have to delay it for another hundred years in the next 100 years.

These long-term plans are inevitable.

Soon after, the group moved on to another part of the island.

This was the original residence of the garden stewards, some of whom stayed behind and were transferred to serve the Jixiang Sect.

In addition, more than 100 teenagers in the age of twelve or thirteen are reading and writing in a place that looks like a school, and it seems that there is someone in charge of imparting ordinary cultural knowledge.

"The sect master is here, stop for a moment, everyone come out to see the sect master!"

"See the Sect Master!"

The boys and girls were ignorant and a little curious.

"Excuse me, you go on. Li Zhen smiled slightly and said kindly.

Soon after, the sound of Lang Lang's reading sounded again, and Mr. Jiaoshu continued to teach those people to read and write, and the steward of the school came out to report the situation to Li Zhenyu.

"The settling-in process went well, the climate was great and the apprentices were very adaptable......

"These apprentices are all the children of hundreds of craftsmen in various industries in the Chamber of Commerce, and most of them are from the ordinary families you requested, and they have no power background......"

Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, until now, I, Li Zhen, have not officially accepted apprentices, and I don't have any registered disciples under my name, so I am counting on selecting some elite talents from these people and promoting them." ”

Kuang Li was a little confused and said, "It stands to reason that you should not choose someone with the Five Elements Spiritual Root and can refine Qi and cultivate?"

Li Zhen said: "My incense path does not necessarily require spiritual root qualifications, becoming an apprentice and an ordinary disciple, there is no need to use the ability to refine qi, but if you want to go further, you do need the cultivation of the qi refining realm, and even the foundation building realm." ”

Kuang Li nodded, in fact, Dan Dao also has a similar furnace boy, who doesn't need any cultivation power, as long as he is reliable and diligent.

Moreover, this is the development plan of other people's sects, and it is not suitable for him to ask more, so he did not say anything more.

Only Li Zhen himself knew that he was going to do a test on the qualifications of incense.

Including the talent of smelling incense, eating incense and refining the soul.

Using the incense path to open up the path for ordinary people to cultivate and advance is equivalent to the way of money to redeem cultivation with money, which can reduce the hard demand for cultivation to a certain extent and have more opportunities.

Traditionally, it is believed that the spiritual root is incomplete and the immortal path is unfounded, but it is said that the Yuanying monk can help people change their lives against the sky.

There are exceptions to these cases.

Li Zhen himself has suffered deeply here, and he also believes that the people will produce some pearls in the sea because of this, which can be excavated and used as talents for his own path.

As for reading and literacy, it is because incense is an elegant art, and it does not even have cultural knowledge, which is vulgar and unbearable, and it is not enough to develop into a master.

These teenagers are in a hurry to learn what method of refining qi, the secret recipe of making incense, and lay a good foundation.

Thanks to the support of Mrs. Yu's side, Li Zhen has some materials that can be used as teaching materials, and slowly introduces the content of incense from ordinary cultural knowledge, and gradually teaches some basic knowledge of incense making and incense culture, and then develops into secret recipes and methods.

It's all going to fall into place.

According to Li Zhen's plan, these boys and girls will be able to graduate from the academy and officially become apprentices when they are about fifteen or sixteen years old.

When the time comes, we will hold an introductory selection to select the talents you need.

As for those who don't pass, they can only serve the sect as laborers.

They came from a family of 100 workers, and they also have the foundation to work for the power of the Chamber of Commerce, and they rely on their crafts to support themselves, which is not shabby.

Even if you can't become a monk, a senior incense master is also very popular, and a serious craftsman can eat anywhere, which is to teach people to fish.

Li even envisioned that some of them could be funded to start their own businesses and set up some workshops based on incense, so as to promote the development of incense.

Again, these are thankless, but in the long run, the entire environment and soil will have profound changes.

Li Zhen looked at the people, as if he saw a thriving seedling......

didn't bother much, and after turning around, Li Zhen and the others immediately returned from Jiuwan Island and put the relocation on the agenda.

After a few more months, everything was finally ready, and Li decided to hold an official opening ceremony in mid-June of the following year to celebrate his success.

The distinguished guests who must be invited are all notified in advance, and now the invitations can be sent out step by step.

The Money Club will also invite some important allies and sideways forces to participate.

None of this required Li Zhen to worry about anything by himself, but it was another thing that began to become a little imminent.

That is the daily operation of the sect, and a group of tool people are urgently needed...... No, it's an elite talent.

At the top level, he himself served as the sect master, preaching and teaching, Mu Qingsi was the sect master's wife, and Min Lian was the elder of the sect, each with its own mission.

At the grassroots level, there are hired shrimp soldiers and crab generals, various nurses, family members, miscellaneous servants, and a group of future apprentices and disciples have also been prepared, and it is planned to open every year to expand enrollment......

However, the adult craftsmen, incense masters, and qi refining cultivators used in the transition at the middle level were a little troublesome.

Li Zhen groaned slightly, and finally decided to recruit openly!

As a result, in a short period of time, the news of Jixiang Sect's public recruitment spread all over the sea within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

Open, good, more money, come quickly!
