Chapter 189: Chapter 128: The Chapter of Human World – Foundation Establishment Complete!_2
Chen Qing looked at Wei Qingchen. At first, he thought Wei was quite formidable, but now, Chen Qing felt he could easily obliterate him with a wave of his hand.
“Continue building the city.”
Wei Qingchen immediately accepted the order, “Yes, I’ll arrange it right away.”
After asking Yuan Wujue what day it was, Chen Qing took some time to give Fu Luo some guidance before returning to his spirit stone bed to guard over Xuanping as she slept.
Xuanping slept for two full days before waking, and Chen Qing kept vigil for those two days as well.
Strolling with Xuanping, the two of them once again reached the marketplace. As Chen Qing walked, all the ghosts transformed into fish, flopping on the ground.
“Lord Yinsi, what are you planning to do?”
“Lord Yinsi, we haven’t done any evil deeds!”
Chen Qing directly picked up a pot by the street, and Xuanping waved her hand to fetch a ladle of water.
“Are you planning to cook these ghosts into fish soup?”
Chen Qing said, “It tastes very bitter.”
He reached out and grabbed Yin Shu Niang, putting her into the pot. Once the soup was cooked, he poured a small bowl for Xuanping.
He himself picked up the pot and drank it all in one gulp.
Yin Shu Niang, originally a black fish, turned into a white fish after being cooked.
Chen Qing picked it up, waved his hand, and tossed it, transforming Yin Shu Niang back.
“Your sins have been cleansed, your burdens I shall bear, your bitterness I’ve tasted. Go now.”
Yin Shu Niang felt all her pain drift away, and her resentment vanished entirely.
The entire Ghost City looked brand new, and she gracefully knelt in front of Chen Qing, “Thank you, my lord!”
After expressing her gratitude, she joyfully sang as she left.
Seeing Yin Shu Niang’s joyful demeanor and her completely dissolved resentment, the numerous black fish on the ground leapt forward, “My lord, eat me first!”
“My lord, eat me first!”
Chen Qing shouted, “Stop arguing, come one at a time!”
He picked up a pot of fish soup and drank it all in one go once more, but there was one less person drinking the soup.
Xuanping took a sip, finding it extremely bitter, as painful memories flooded in. She gritted her teeth and drank it all.
“It’s really bitter.”
Chen Qing consoled her, “Just let you taste it, don’t drink it anymore.”
“Drink too much, you can’t handle it!”
Xuanping said, “I can drink just a little.”
Chen Qing laughed, “That’s fine.”
The fisherman no longer drank soup with him, but now Xuanping did.
Xuanping asked, “Why drink such bitter soup?”
Chen Qing laughed, “Because I wish to become the master of heaven and earth.”
He again picked up the pot and drank the fish soup in one gulp.
He had drunk this soup countless times, yet every time it entered his mouth, it was so bitter.
A vast amount of Xuanhuang Qi surged out, entering his body. The fish soup transformed into the power of the Sea of Suffering, tempering his body, refining threads of earth’s Xuanhuang Qi into his flesh and blood.
With this body, one bore the trials of all ages, drank the bitterness of all beings, and could achieve an undying and imperishable body!
At this moment, he finally understood the purpose of this fish soup.
He picked up another fish once more, “Entering this pot, all things past are but dreams and illusions.”
After consuming more than a hundred malicious ghosts here, Chen Qing rose, came to the marketplace’s edge, and said to Xuanping, “Shoot an arrow at me with all your strength and see.”
Xuanping asked, “Are you sure? I’m at Foundation Establishment now.”
Chen Qing nodded, “Go ahead.”
Xuanping started with half her strength and increased until she exerted all her strength, barely breaking Chen Qing’s skin, the arrowhead piercing half an inch into his flesh.
Chen Qing nonchalantly pulled it out, and his flesh quickly healed.
It seemed the method was right, this cultivation technique was much stronger than Golden Skin and Jade Bone.
Unfortunately, it didn’t increase his cultivation level.
It was extremely suitable for him; the Fatian Xiangdi used lacked defense.
After all, it was the magic derived from his Lifebound Gu, so matching with Fatian Xiangdi was normal too.
Returning to Iron Flow Valley, Chen Qing began to pay attention to the construction of Jiuhe City. As he walked, he called Mei Zuochen, who followed him.
“You’ve seen that Foundation Establishment great demon, at the time I will dispatch Wei Qingchen with people to subdue it.”
“When you are confident you can make a great contribution in this battle, let me know, and I’ll arrange the action.”
Mei Zuochen said excitedly, “Thank you, my lord, I will prepare well.”
Chen Qing nodded, “Hmm, during this time, you better prepare seriously, let Yuan Wujue and Jiang Yuhu guard.”
Letting Mei Zuochen leave, Chen Qing took Yuan Wujue to inspect the construction of Jiuhe City.
Building a city in the cultivation world wasn’t like building in the mortal world, it didn’t need to withstand Foundation Establishment, but at least needed to be safe from Qi Refining Realm.
Foundation Establishments were rare, and they cherished their lives, seldom appearing.
Qi Refining Realm was as numerous as cattle’s hair, everywhere, if Qi Refining Realm could run amok at will, then the city was unnecessary.
He took a look and saw that the city walls were cast with top-quality fine iron, then felt somewhat reassured.
Now that Foundation Establishment was complete, Chen Qing could traverse this land unimpeded.
The Ghost Face Realm was all in the Death Realm, the Mystic Gate Realm mostly near the royal city, no one could be his rival.
He could now fully deploy his forces here.
With a large number of production-type cultivators and his All Things Grow, it should be enough for his cultivation.
Chen Qing now had another hobby, which was cooking ghost fish soup, not only could it enhance his cultivation, but it also broadened his knowledge.
Those memories contained pain and hidden information.
Chen Qing speculated that the fisherman’s rapid breakthrough in realm was related to him fishing in the Netherworld from the beginning of existence.
Now, he needed to accumulate strength, cultivate to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and then enter the Ghost World.
Having understood these plans, Chen Qing had been fully engaged in the building of Jiuhe City.
Because a thousand-acres of Spiritual Field would be established within the city, Jiuhe City was enormous.
Even Jiuhe Lake was entirely encompassed within Jiuhe City.
Chen Qing arranged for a large tent outside Jiuhe City, took out a map, and began marking the locations of the spiritual medicines and spirit trees he had seen.
He called in a Hu Kui brought by Jiang Yuhu and said, “On this map, I’ve marked many spirit seeds and spirit trees, take men and bring back all these spirit trees and spirit seeds.”
“I’ve marked any nearby dangers.”
“The significant ones have already been eliminated during my travels; the remaining ones are your trials.”
“Go.”
After making arrangements, Chen Qing spread out the map of Jiuhe City again and began planning the construction of Jiuhe City.
In his vision, the center of the city would be his City Lord’s Mansion, surrounded by a small number of dense buildings for his confidants, guarding the perimeter.
The outer circle would be the thousand-acres of Spiritual Field, beyond which near the city walls would be the residences for the families of these twenty-one clans.
Each confidant’s home could have three acres of Spiritual Field, planted with spirit seeds and spirit trees they gathered themselves, considered a boon to them.
Chen Qing’s arrangement reserved thirty-two households around him, keeping a few more households to give others hope for promotion, motivating everyone.
The construction of the City Lord’s Mansion needed to be prioritized too.
First, there had to be a council hall, then a back hall for his rest and cultivation.
Barring any accidents, he would remain here for a long time, using his trait All Things Grow to plant Spiritual Medicine, raise spirit beasts, to assist in his cultivation, obtaining a large amount of cultivation resources.
Chen Qing didn’t have any special requirements, being somewhat of a recluse, he wouldn’t leave home until his supplies ran out.
For the unknown dangers ahead, he wasn’t anxious.
The journey always had to be taken step by step; an immortal wasn’t cultivated in a day.
He wanted to make this place an earthly paradise.
While considering how to defend Jiuhe City, Wei Qingchen and Jiang Yuhu entered. Wei Qingchen said, “My lord, our power has just been established, and we should have a name.”

Jiang Yuhu also said, “It seems inappropriate to still call it Iron Flow Valley, please grant us a name.”
Chen Qing thought for a long time and still said, “It’s too early, wait until we return from the Death Realm and change it then.”
“For now, let’s still call it Iron Flow Valley; let’s not be too arrogant.”
