Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 353 - 168: Imperial Decree Over the Great Mountains, Riding the Dragon’s Path (10,000-Word Release)
"What a wonderful scene it is!"
In Zhe Xian Valley, Fan Wubing stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the full view of the Eternal Immortal Sect’s branch.
Great Li’s investment in the Eternal Immortal Sect was truly reaching its pinnacle, aiming to make the sect a model for external promotion, attracting various forces from all over to invest and cooperate. The entire Zhe Xian Valley was allocated for the use of the Eternal Immortal Sect.
The area of Zhe Xian Valley was equivalent to five times the main sect of the Eternal Immortal Sect. It was vast, with mountains and waters, good feng shui, and situated on the main dragon vein of Great Li, where all kinds of vital energies were particularly concentrated.
Currently, the Eternal Immortal Sect’s branch has initially erected three Immortal Peaks, while the rest are being constructed in full swing.
Wei Changkong was full of ambition and confidence, "This is just the first step for the Eternal Immortal Sect moving outward! Junior Brother Wubing, the Eternal Immortal Sect will surely be renowned worldwide in the future!"
Wei Changkong was the leader of this branch, assisted by Lin Xing, Zhao Yangxia, and others.
"Yes, I believe that day will come!" Fan Wubing said, "This scale must have consumed quite a lot, huh."
Wei Changkong sighed, "Indeed. But Zhe Xian Valley is truly a feng shui treasure land. If not properly developed, it would be a waste. So, even if we have to tighten our belts, we need to invest heavily. Luckily, the support from Great Li is substantial, and your Purple Dragon Order is indeed effective. The Heaven and Earth Bank here granted a large loan with extremely low interest, which is barely sufficient."
"Here you go." Fan Wubing handed over a Qiankun Bag.
Wei Changkong took it and was instantly shocked to see piles of Spirit Stones filling it like several small mountains. Low-grade Spirit Stones, Middle-grade Spirit Stones, High-grade Spirit Stones, and even Supreme Spirit Stones shining as brightly as the sun.
Besides that, there were all kinds of magical treasures, cultivation techniques, divine techniques, elixirs, talismans... scattered everywhere, randomly placed in the Qiankun Bag.
Wei Changkong was so overwhelmed that he felt dizzy. He had never witnessed such a scene, "Did you ransack some super large sect or something, Junior Brother?"
Fan Wubing laughed, "It’s not that exaggerated."
In his heart, he thought, it’s merely the entire belongings of several dozen Late Stage of Integration cultivators.
They were from that batch of Dragon Guards who had encircled him before.
These were the rewards for risking life and limb.
Besides the Spirit Stones, Fan Wubing had kept some for himself for various expenditures, and everything else was here. He had little interest in those cultivation techniques and divine techniques, as the techniques at the Integration Realm were all of the immortal level, but none could surpass the "Blood Calamity Undying Immortal Skill," so it was better to leave them for the development of the Eternal Immortal Sect.
Wei Changkong was so excited that he hugged Fan Wubing repeatedly. If Fan Wubing hadn’t stopped him quickly, he might have kissed him directly, "Junior Brother, this is wonderful, wonderful indeed! With these, I guarantee within ten years, oh no, five years! Five years! The Eternal Immortal Sect can definitely become one of the top three comprehensive sects of Great Li!"
"I believe you have that capability, Senior Brother."
"By the way, there’s news from Little South Continent, saying that the parasol tree on Enlightenment Peak bloomed about half a month ago."
"Bloomed?" Fan Wubing thought about it; half a month should be the result of Great Li achieving the status of an Imperial Dynasty, which then benefited him, and in turn, he benefited the parasol tree. Perhaps, the parasol tree would benefit Enlightenment Peak, and Enlightenment Peak would benefit the Eternal Immortal Sect, thus benefiting the Zhe Xian Valley branch as well.
He sighed inwardly, the nature of luck is truly mysterious.
"Oh, there’s one more thing I almost forgot!" Wei Changkong patted his forehead and handed over a letter, "A while ago, someone wrote you a letter at East Continent He Yue Village, which was sent to Little South Continent and then forwarded to me."
East Continent He Yue Village.
Fan Wubing immediately thought of Gu Lan. He hurriedly took the letter and looked at it. There were only eight words, "All is well, no need to worry."
"What..." Fan Wubing was a bit disappointed, but then, suddenly, these eight words began to shake, swirling and flying across the paper, interweaving, and finally settling into a picture formed by the convergence of vital energy. In the photo, Gu Lan stood in an endless spirit rice field, her golden hair dancing with the wind.
...
June 10, a cloudless sunny day.
In the Mountain God Temple at Queyu Mountain.
Qingxuan was comfortably settled in the new divine statue erected by the Court for him. This feeling was like moving from a shabby hut into a luxurious mansion with four main gates and an Eight Courtyard. People from nearby towns and villages came continuously to offer incense and prayers.
He was sorting out the flow of vital energy in Queyu Mountain and checking where new nature spirits had been born and where beasts had turned into demons, marking them accordingly. If they sincerely cultivated by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, he would leave them be, but if they harbored malicious intentions, he would educate them, and if they remained incorrigible, he would exorcise them and report to the Divine Dao Branch.
After patrolling the mountain, he withdrew his mind and began listening to the prayers of the incense and wishing people while cultivating.
Suddenly, he heard a rather peculiar prayer— 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Does the Mountain God want to attain the Great God status?"
Who wouldn’t want to attain the Great God status? Of course, he wanted to, wasn’t that what he was doing?
Curious, he looked over to see which guy was making such a bizarre prayer.
Then he saw a young boy drawing a stick of incense from the table beside him, lighting it, and inserting it into the incense burner. This incense was very magical; the smoke it released wasn’t blue but, as if adorned with gold powder, exudes a golden hue, appearing celestial.
"Wow! What kind of incense is this, making the smoke appear golden!"
This spectacle captured the attention of all who were praying, marveling at it.
The golden smoke drifted into the Queyu Mountain God’s statue. Soon, the statue emitted a jade-like quality, crystal clear and pure, as a magnificent burst of divine light descended from the heavens, enveloping the entire Mountain God Temple. Breezes gently blew out from the statue.
