Chapter 725: Shameless and Without Limits
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
With the protection of the national defense array, Lizhou has entered a period of rapid development and peace.
In contrast, the outside world appears to be turbulent and unpredictable.
Zhang Shouren was bound to be a menace sooner or later, and Chen Futu had no intention of killing him. However, Zhang Shouren had fled to an area outside the Central Region and his whereabouts were unknown.
"Your Majesty, the Jia Clan is launching another major operation."
Lin Ying sent the latest news via the communication stone.
Liu Shenmiao has awakened four Heavenly Demon Generals so far, and two others are still suppressed in the Eastern and Southern Regions. She has begun to take action again.
Given the strength of the Jia clan, ordinary forces are no match for them. If another war breaks out, it will lead to the killing of even more emperors.
After much deliberation, Chen Futu did not stop the Jia clan's actions.
If the grudges left over from ancient times cannot be let go, the Jia clan will be a powder keg.
In the days that followed, the Jade Emperor and the Purple Dew Academy secretly sent everyone to Lizhou through the teleportation array of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.
Chen Futu has established two factions in Huazhou, but the Celestial Clan has not yet taken any action.
Hua Hua said that the ancestors of the Celestial Clan were unwilling to leave the mountains where they had always lived, because they felt that the calamities on the continent had not yet been fully revealed and that they might be able to resist them in the future.
"That's all, let them be."
Chen Futu couldn't control what others did. His reason for wanting the Celestial Clan to move to Lizhou was simply to gain another ally, and also out of consideration for Hua Hua. Since the other party refused, he naturally wouldn't force them.
Lin Ying has arranged for people to set up the Bright Moon Auction House in Lizhou and is secretly transferring resources from the Great Domain to Lizhou.
In addition, Chen Futu plans to personally go to Dan Mountain, hoping to trick some high-level alchemists into refining a large number of Saint Pills and Quasi-Emperor Pills, so that everyone's cultivation speed will improve faster when comprehending the Dao Patterns of the Abyss.
Chen Futu only took Huahua with him on this trip, leaving the affairs of state to Zhuge Liang and the others.
"Brother, what is Danshan for?" Hua Hua asked, swaying beside him while holding the small cauldron and stuffing buns into her mouth.
Chen Futu laughed and said, "Pills are good things, and they taste delicious."
"Really? If that's the case, even if Xiaobai has to be tied up, I'll still bring back a few alchemists for you."
Little Bai waved her pink fists excitedly.
Several days later, the two left the Sun Moon Cult and flew directly to the Central Region.
Along the way, they saw destroyed villages and towns. Judging from the residual aura fluctuations at the scene, it was the work of Zhang Shouren and his group of suppressed undead monsters. Their ruthlessness was shocking.
When ordinary people are slaughtered, powerful forces don't care, so those guys choose to target the common people to improve their cultivation.
Chen Futu and Xiaobai tried to trace their whereabouts, but even using the earth's veins, they couldn't find them.
Moreover, the Boundless Sea, which covers the continent, became turbulent, and the curse aura of the ley lines in the depths of the ocean became increasingly intense. Some areas even began to emanate black energy, and any fish and sea beasts that were tainted by it became violent and insane.
Chen Futu currently lacks the ability to analyze the earth's veins on the mainland, let alone those in the Boundless Sea.
Fortunately, the anomaly is currently only occurring in the Boundless Sea, and the ley lines beneath the various realms are relatively calm, so it will not affect the residents living in towns for the time being.
"Brother, what will happen if the ley line curse erupts?" Xiaobai asked abruptly.
Chen Futu's expression darkened. "There may be an unknown race descending, bringing boundless slaughter. So we must be prepared. We need not only alchemists, but also high-level weapon refiners."
Chen Futu currently possesses considerable resources and has prepared a large quantity of materials for forging imperial weapons. With the assistance of the Bright Moon Pavilion, it's no exaggeration to say that as long as the "technicians" are in place, forging a batch of imperial weapons is a piece of cake. If a suitable high-grade weapon refiner cannot be found, the emperors of Lizhou will have to do the hard labor.
"Even beginners can do it!"
As Xiaobai babbled, Chen Futu gazed at her lovely face, and his heart stirred.
That's right, everyone else needs to cultivate, but Xiaobai doesn't really need to. With her wild girl power, forging an imperial weapon is a piece of cake.
"Alright, let's build a batch of Imperial Weapons together later."
"Yay! Little White wants one too!"
"Didn't you already have one?"
Chen Futu coveted her small cauldron, a companion treasure given by the system. It was good for both offense and defense and could be upgraded, making it much better than an imperial weapon.
"Hmph, this is Little White's food bowl. How can you use a food bowl to fight?"
Little White held the small cauldron in its arms, its big, watery eyes as wise as ever.
The two arrived at Danshan shortly afterward.
Chen Futu did not act rashly, because Da Xia and Danshan had no relationship. In fact, during the Great Wilderness War, an elder from Danshan had tried to steal Liu Longyue's opportunity. Therefore, it was necessary to investigate the situation of Danshan and see what their attitude was towards Da Xia.
"Leave this to me."
Lin Ying opened a Mingyue Pavilion in Dancheng to collect resources, so Chen Futu stayed in the pavilion temporarily to wait for clues.
A few days later, Lin Ying replied: "Danshan has several alchemists at the Great Emperor level, but due to the competition for resources, they have long been divided into several factions. The one who attacked the princess was the Fifth Elder. He offended Daxia by acting without authorization and was recently warned by Danshan internally."
"So, there are some people within Danshan who are not hostile to the Great Xia?" Chen Futu asked.
"Yes, alchemists are best at refining medicine. What interests them is only related to alchemy. However, it is a bit troublesome to win over some alchemists."
"How to say?"
"Not to mention that Danshan's resources are incomparable to those of the outside world, just considering their lifestyle, no alchemist would easily leave Danshan. Furthermore, with their cultivation level, they lack nothing, so why would they go out?"
Lin Ying was talking about very practical issues. It was unrealistic to win over an Emperor-level alchemist, but Lin Ying had a suitable candidate: there was a thatched cottage on Dan Mountain. It was an independent peak, and the owner of the cottage did not take on disciples or participate in sect affairs. To outsiders, it was just a place to retire.
"Miss Lin means for me to join the Thatched Cottage?" Chen Futu asked strangely. Lin Ying smiled and said, "Your avatar can comprehend the Dao in the abyss at any time. Moreover, according to the Peach Blossom Goddess, the great war is about sixty years away. Your true self does not need to cultivate or handle state affairs. You might as well join the Thatched Cottage. First, you can use the resources of Dan Mountain to refine pills. Second, you can establish contact with that mysterious being. Even if you abduct him, it will be of great benefit to Lizhou."
"Shameless enough, I like it."
Chen Futu laughed heartily, it was so great to use Danshan's resources for free, he would plunder some Emperor Pill resources when necessary.
Moreover, the true self does not need to cultivate, and its comprehension is not as good as that of the avatar. So instead of wasting time, it is better to spend some effort establishing a connection with the mysterious being in the thatched cottage. Once the system is upgraded, the true self's cultivation level will at least reach the level of an Extreme Dao Emperor.
"There are only three days left until the day when Danshan opens its sect and accepts disciples. You might as well participate in the assessment to join Danshan and then choose the thatched hall."
"Ok, deal."
Chen Futu made up his mind, and then sent a message to Li Zhou to inform Qin Liangyu of the matter, asking her to take good care of the children.
