Chapter 539 If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
After a brief shock, Zhong Tao was the first to react. His eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately thought of the many benefits.
Without leaving any trace, he pushed Shangguan Aoxue's hand away from his waist, then laughed excitedly:
"Build a city for cultivators? That's great! With our relationship, it shouldn't be a problem for me to be the deputy city lord, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said:
"Of course there is no problem. The original intention of my building the city is to hope that everyone can practice together and take care of each other. Don't even mention being the deputy city lord. Even if you want to be the city lord, there is no problem."
Zhong Tao was naturally delighted to receive such a reply, and Tong Wei even jokingly called him "City Lord Zhong".
After hearing this, Zhong Tao's smile became even brighter. He put on airs and a stern face, speaking to everyone in an official tone.
He didn't care at all that Shangguan Aoxue was pinching the soft flesh on his waist, and he was still forcing himself to endure the pain and imagine the future. He looked a little funny, which made everyone laugh again.
Even Ye Rushuang and Zhou Hongfu were amused by Zhong Tao's funny look.
After laughing, Gu Feng said seriously:
"Lu Chen! I'm afraid this matter still needs to be considered carefully.
The first thing is to choose a site and determine the scale. Most of the land with rich spiritual energy is in the hands of large and small sects, as well as famous families.
Even if you buy their idle land and build a city, you will be subject to many restrictions. With our level of cultivation, I am afraid we are powerless to resist.
If you choose a remote place where no one will come to take care of it, then you must have something that is attractive enough to other monks. Otherwise, without monks coming and going, it will just be an empty city.
Another thing is that a lot of money is needed from site selection to construction. If the city fails to develop and generate income in the later stage, then the initial investment will be..."
Gu Feng is a relatively conservative person. Although he did not explicitly say that if they could not generate income, the initial investment would be wasted, everyone understood the meaning after hearing his words.
Moreover, under Gu Feng's lead, everyone expressed their ideas one by one, and most of them were describing various difficulties.
Zhong Tao even suggested in a veiled way that since it was so troublesome, they might as well divide the spirit stones for building the city among everyone, and wait until everyone's cultivation level breaks through to the out-of-body stage before considering building the city.
When Lu Chen heard this, his face suddenly turned dark. He glared at Zhong Tao fiercely, and then said unhappily:
"You fat bastard, you want to ruin my show before it even starts, right? Believe it or not, I will beat you into a pig's head."
After saying this, he made an attacking gesture. Zhong Tao knew he was in the wrong and quickly hid behind Shangguan Aoxue.
Thanks to the timely persuasion of Ye Rushuang and others, he was able to escape the disaster.
"Alright! Jokes aside, I have made up my mind to build a city for cultivators.
Now I will give you an important task, which is to find out where there is a suitable location, preferably not too far away from Dan City.
This will be our base for now. I need to go to Yidu Prefecture and will be back in about three days. We will discuss the specific matters then."
Seeing Lu Chen's firm attitude, Gu Feng and others said nothing more and expressed that they would do their best to carry out the order.
Next, Lu Chen gave Zhong Tao and Gu Feng each a storage bag, which contained some spirit stones and other resources.
Then he treated them to a sumptuous meal at "Shiweixian" and that afternoon, he took Ye Rushuang and Zhou Hongfu to Yidu Prefecture.
He was planning to recruit some members of the Chinese Mercenary Corps to help him build the city.
It certainly won't work if we rely on Zhong Tao and Gu Feng alone. Otherwise, we have to do everything by ourselves and we will be exhausted to death.
On the way, Lu Chen simply recounted how he met the Horns.
He also told Ye Rushuang and Zhou Hongfu about how he planned to establish a power with them, so that they would not appear unfamiliar after arriving at the place.
Half Moon City is a small fourth or fifth tier city, and there is no direct teleportation array from Dan City.
So Lu Chen and the other two had to take the teleportation array to Xiling City in Yichang Prefecture first.
It took just over an hour to fly the flying boat from Xiling City to Banyue City.
Around dusk, the flying boat carrying Lu Chen and his two companions landed in front of a five-story tower in the southern part of Half Moon City.
"Look! This is my first property in the cultivation world. It took me a lot of thought."
Lu Chen looked at the majestic tower in front of him and the words "Chinese Mercenary Corps" on the plaque, and introduced it with some pride.
After hearing this, Ye Rushuang and Zhou Hongfu also cooperated in praising Lu Chen.
However, when the three of them walked into the door talking and laughing, a scolding voice suddenly sounded:
"Stop! We are not accepting any business today. You should go to other places!"
Then, a burly young monk with a leopard head and round eyes blocked the way of Lu Chen and the other two.
When he saw the beauty of Ye Rushuang and Zhou Hongfu, he was stunned at first.
Then he stared at them unscrupulously, with lustful gleams in his eyes, and did not take Lu Chen beside him seriously at all.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's face suddenly turned ugly. He raised his hand and slapped the young monk, wanting to teach him a lesson.
But the young monk's reaction was not slow either. He also made a lightning-fast move and directly blocked Lu Chen's arm.
After feeling the powerful force in Lu Chen's palm, he dodged with his legs back in time, his movements were very ghostly.
Lu Chen didn't expect that the other party had some tricks up his sleeve. When he was about to attack with all his strength, Ye Rushuang grabbed his arm and said:
"Lu Chen, don't do that. This is your place after all. Why don't we wait until we meet Captain Huo?"
Lu Chen felt very embarrassed when he heard this.
On the way here, he kept praising the Chinese Mercenary Group for how good and united they were. He never thought he would encounter something like this.
After the young cultivator stabilized his body, he deduced Lu Chen's cultivation level from his true energy fluctuations, and he immediately felt more confident.
Then a surge of energy surged out of his body and quickly spread to the surroundings, and then he sneered:
"Hmph! Boy! I didn't realize you had some strength. But your strength is not enough in front of me. Go to hell!"
After saying that, the young monk's figure flashed, almost turning into an afterimage, and rushed directly towards Lu Chen.
It's too late, but it's soon.
Lu Chen felt the powerful fluctuations of the other party's fist, as well as the sound of breaking through the air.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then he kicked out fiercely, hitting the young monk's abdomen first, and the man's body flew backwards almost instantly.
With a "bang", it crashed into the wall of the hall, and then looked at Lu Chen in horror...
