Chapter 201 Founding a sect

Farmers were busy in the fields. Zhao Cunyuan, who caught a glimpse of this scene, suddenly changed his mind and deliberately asked the young man:
"Even though you have the body of a clay puppet and are immortal, slaying demons is still very scary. Can you endure it?"

The young man puffed out his chest and said, "I'm not afraid!"

"What's your name?"

"Ah Si!"

"How many people are there in your village?"

"Originally there were more than 300 people, but ever since a big monster came into the mountains, some have fled, some have been robbed, and now there are only about 100 left."

"Do you have any farmland?"

"Yes..." Ah Si's face flashed with shame: "But most of them are already abandoned."

Zhao Cunyuan subconsciously felt a little surprised when he heard this.

Can farmland still be left barren?

Even if Ah Si can't farm, the villagers will probably be eyeing him covetously, right?

However, when this thought arose, I understood it in an instant.

The population of the village has dropped sharply. No matter how precious arable land is, supply exceeds demand, so the land will inevitably go to waste!

"Take me to see it!"

"it is good!"

Ah Si did not ask any more questions and led Zhao Cunyuan to the field. The field was not far from the village entrance. Not long after, Ah Si pointed to a ditch and fenced off the field and said:

"Here, this is my farmland."

At a glance, it was found that most of the arable land was abandoned. Only a piece near the village was sparsely planted with crops, and even this was overgrown with weeds.

Apparently, even for children who have been exposed to it, farming such a large field is still very strenuous.

Especially when villagers are unable to take care of themselves.

Zhao Cunyuan smiled and said, "How about I help you farm?"

"what?"

Ah Si was stunned: "You are not going to slay demons and monsters anymore?"

Zhao Cunyuan said proudly: "It doesn't take much effort, just give me two sticks of incense."

As he spoke, he paced to the edge of the field and chanted a spell in a low and rapid voice. As the spell began to flow, his magic power surged into the earth like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, turning into a fulcrum to lift up the earth's veins.

In an instant, the vast wasteland in front of them rolled up like waves.

The horrifying scene frightened countless farmers so much that they dropped their hoes and came to watch.

Zhao Cunyuan, who originally only needed three breaths, deliberately delayed for a long time before stopping.

In the blink of an eye, the barren land disappeared and turned into fertile land ready for planting.

Zhao Cunyuan was still not satisfied, and he made some hand gestures and chanted some incantations. Suddenly, clouds gathered in the mountains, and after a while, a fine drizzle fell, which again caused a burst of exclamations.

At this point, Zhao Cunyuan calmly withdrew his magical powers and said in a deep voice:
"The field has been plowed and the seeds have been sown. Even if it is slash-and-burn farming, it can still produce a thousand kilograms of yield."

This is of course an exaggeration.

The hard work of farming is not only about plowing and preparing the fields. The weeds that steal the food after the seeds are planted are also an extremely energy-consuming task.

This is also the reason why Zhao Cunyuan built a house next to thousands of acres of fertile fields.

However, at this moment, after he showed off his skills, the villagers would no longer pay attention to these details. Instead, their eyes were shining as they looked at Zhao Cunyuan.

"Ah Si, is there a place to rest? We need to rest here and wait for our teammates."

Zhao Cunyuan asked calmly.

"Yes, yes. Can my house be used?"

Ah Si nodded repeatedly.

After obtaining permission, he hurriedly took Zhao Cunyuan home.

After Zhao Cunyuan and others left, the villagers who controlled the earth puppets looked at the fields they had plowed for half a day, and then looked at A Si's land that had been turned very finely. They could no longer cultivate the land and hurriedly rushed into the village.

Soon, the front door of A Si's house was crowded with villagers.

The east family served morning tea, the west family handed over eggs, and they eagerly pulled A Si, and repeatedly told him to entertain Zhao Cunyuan and his party well, and to ask him about the farming method.

To be honest, if it were in the past, they would never dare to ask for the skills of immortals.

However, now that we know the Internet and have this magical incarnation, magical powers are now within our reach.

Naturally, there is less awe and more desire in my heart.

Faced with the villagers' instructions, A Si, who was hosting Zhao Cunyuan and his party, was nervous, but he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, made up his mind, and asked a few questions.

Zhao Cunyuan smiled and said, "These little tricks are very simple. If you want to learn them, I can teach you at any time, but..."

"Just what?"

"But you can't use it with your current cultivation level?"

"what?"

Ah Si was horrified: "Then...what should we do?"

Zhao Cunyuan said: "If it were in the past, it would be extremely difficult for you to practice these spells. But now with the interconnected secret realm, there may be a chance."

Ah Si's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Please teach me, sir."

Seeing this, Zhao Cunyuan smiled and knew that the plan had worked!
With the help of these local natives, the mountain spirits will become his merit book.

As I was thinking about it, an illusory voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Congratulations to 'Qingfeng Wanliren' for founding the 'Qingfeng Sect' and becoming the first person to establish a sect in the Interconnected Secret Realm!"

Zhao Cunyuan was shocked.

Someone has established a new sect so soon?

Right!

If you spend money directly to buy points and merits, with the player base of the interconnected secret realm, it is very likely that you can buy the order to establish a sect.

Thinking of this, Zhao Cunyuan felt more and more anxious.

The Internet Secret Realm has been plagued by rumors and slander because of its method of enlightenment, so not many high-level monks have intervened.

He had always thought this was his chance.

But now it seems that someone has figured it out.

……

Let's go back a quarter of an hour.

In front of the back gate of Ciyu Temple, Qingfeng Wanliren stood with his back straight. Although he looked handsome and suave, underneath his young face was a heart that had lived for two hundred years.

"Squeak!"

——The door is open.

Wan Liren took a deep breath and stepped in. In his field of vision, an illusory jade ruyi appeared out of thin air, guiding him in the direction of the audience.

After a while, he knocked on the door of Master Yunli's meditation room.

As soon as he stepped in and saw Gu Yunli, he immediately bowed as a disciple:

"Disciple Wanliren, I pay my respects to Gu Zhenzai!"

"Shinzai?"

Gu Yunli, who was sitting at the top, was amused when he heard this: "You are so brave!"

Wanliren said: "In my disciple's heart, you have always been the real master of the Internet, one and only."

"it is good!"

Gu Yunli praised the school and waved his hand, saying, "Choose a place to establish your own school!"

Instantly, the Ciyun Dharma Realm Map appeared in Wan Liren's sight. Wan Liren did not even look at it, but saluted and said, "It is a blessing for a disciple to serve the True Lord. The location of the sect is entirely up to the True Lord."

"You are quite clever."

Gu Yunli smiled and said, "You don't need to test me. You are in your own sect and you should make your own decisions. However, I can explain the difference to you."

Wan Liren was overjoyed: "Disciple respectfully listens to the holy sound!"

Gu Yunli: "The Ciyun Realm is full of monsters and demons. It is safer if you are closer to Qinggang Mountain. But if you are farther away from me, the players' activity range will inevitably expand, and the sect's resurrection point will be an inexhaustible source of wealth. You can decide for yourself which is better."

Wan Liren hesitated for a moment and asked, "May I ask the True Master, if the sect is destroyed, do we still need to establish a sect?"

Gu Yunli shook his head: "Now that you have obtained the qualification, it is naturally valid forever. If you want to rebuild, you only need to pay the cost of rebuilding the resurrection point!"

When Wan Liren heard this, his eyes lit up and he already had a plan in mind.

Gu Zhenzai's words and deeds seemed to be a fair description of the advantages and disadvantages of the location of the sect, but in fact, he had hinted at many things.

That is to stay away from Qinggang Mountain!

That’s right. Gu Zhenzai established the Internet Secret Realm in order to control the Ciyun Dharma Realm. If everyone established a sect next to Qinggang Mountain, what would be the meaning for Gu Zhenzai?
If he guessed correctly, what Gu Zhenzai wanted was to spread endless players all over the Ciyun Realm and forcibly bring down the demon clan.

After thinking about it, he took a quick look at the map, gritted his teeth, and reached out his hand to a valley far away from Qinggang Mountain.

"Let's establish our sect here!"

"Great!"

Gu Yunli nodded with satisfaction: "Can you give us a sect name?"

Wan Liren bowed and said, "I dare to ask the True Lord to grant me a name."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunli said casually: "Since you call yourself Qingfeng Wanliren, then you should call yourself Qingfeng Sect!"

Wan Liren was overjoyed: "Welcome the breeze to dispel the burden, and entrust my weak will to the returning waves! I thank the True Lord for giving me this name."

"Let's go!"

Gu Yunli waved his sleeves, picked up Wan Liren and rushed out of the backyard, raised the Three Elements Yuan Cloud, and flew towards his destination.

Half an hour later, Gu Yunli arrived at his destination.

Looking into the distance, this place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, like a giant dragon, majestic and magnificent, with wind and air gathered here, and there is a kind of essence of heaven and earth nurturing it.

"It's a Feng Shui treasure land!"

Gu Yunli nodded slightly and then fell down.

As the spell was secretly executed, the spirit of Tao soared into the sky and spread in all directions. In an instant, the mountains and rivers were moved and the earth veins changed their course.

Gu Yunli waved his sleeves again.

Countless formation flags and magic arrays flew out and fell in all directions, including the Earth Vein Puppet Array, the Water Vein Water Spirit Array, the Yin-Yang Bagua Array... Many formations were intertwined, gradually transformed and solidified, and then returned to the mountains.

"This is the sect's formation plate. Keep it well. Other than the main formation, you can adjust and modify it at will!"

After setting up the magic circle, Gu Yunli handed over the control array plate.

Wan Liren took the array plate with a bewildered look on his face: "Zhenzai, are there too many arrays?"

Gu Yunli said: "This is the first place reward."

Wan Liren was overjoyed, knowing that he had made the right bet.

The first-place reward was just an excuse made up by Zhenzai to fool others.

If he had chosen Qinggang Mountains as the location for establishing his sect, how could he have enjoyed these benefits?

Of course, staying away from Qinggang Mountain also comes at a huge cost.

He must guard the mountain gate.

Judging from the battle in Sky Rift Valley, Gu Zhenzai will not easily take action due to his face, so everything will depend on him from now on.

Thinking of this, Wan Liren felt both nervous and excited.

Because from now on, he will become the leader of a sect, which is an achievement he could not even imagine in Jambudvīpa.

"Your personal secret realm page has been updated. You can recruit disciples, issue tasks, collect taxes... etc. You can check them through the backend. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me through the backend."

"Yes!"

Gu Yunli nodded, then raised the Three Elements Yuan Cloud and left.

Looking at Gu Zhenzai's departing back, Wan Liren breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how amiable Gu Zhenzai is, he is, after all, the master of the Internet, sitting on the status of a bodhisattva, in charge of the Buddha's phantom body, and a being who makes a big fuss in the fairy court. It is impossible for him to say that he has no pressure.

Now that he had finally left, his tense nerves finally relaxed. He quickly opened the secret realm page to check it out. At a glance, he saw a "Qingfeng Sect" button appearing in the upper right corner.

Click to enter and a complex page will appear.

After some research, he was so impressed by the complexity of the technology that his feeling of helplessness was also relieved.

Even though he had lived for more than two decades and had rich life experience, this was the first time he had founded a new school of thought. Naturally, he was a little confused and at a loss.

As a result, he didn't expect that Gu Zhenzai had already listed what he needed to do one by one.

for example:

Build palaces, recruit disciples, open markets, establish cities, develop population... and so on.

Each task has various subdivisions, and all he has to do is issue tasks, recruit players, monitor progress, distribute rewards... and so on.

It is worth mentioning that there are no points or merit rewards for the sect for completing these tasks.

However, there is a reward called "construction value". The only function of the construction value is to upgrade the sect. The higher the level of the sect, the more territory it owns.

In addition to these fixed tasks, he can also issue some free tasks.

The task content can be edited at will, and of course, the points and merits will also be paid by him. It seems so cool!
He had even imagined the pleasure of dominating players at will.

"I am penniless now. If I want to expand the sect, points and merits are indispensable. If I want to earn these two points, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket just by relying on sect disciples to complete tasks. So the next focus should be on 'opening markets' and 'building cities' to collect rent and taxes."

"No! That's not right! Qingfeng Sect is far away from Qinggang Mountain, and its military development cannot fall behind. We must quickly recruit soldiers and expand our strength! But where will the money come from?"

Wan Liren kept muttering to himself, and finally realized how difficult it was to support a sect.

Looking at the list of pending projects above, I can’t wait to start working on them all.

However, if everyone starts working, where will the money come from?

While Wanli was pondering, he transferred all the points and merits in his personal account to the sect. After careful consideration, he began his journey of operational decision-making.

At the same time, the news of the establishment of the first sword sect in the Internet Secret Realm has spread throughout the Internet Secret Realm through full-channel broadcasts.

"Someone has established a sect so soon? Who is it? So powerful!"

"Where? Where?"

"Qingfeng Sect? Qingfeng Wanliren? Oh my, the sect is built so far away, aren't you afraid of revenge from the evil spirits?"

"This guy is obviously very skilled and daring!"

While everyone was discussing the matter, some unlucky dead people accidentally discovered that there was an additional option at the resurrection point in the interconnected secret realm.

That is the Qingfeng Sect!

What’s even more surprising is that in addition to the Earth Golem vehicles, there are also Water Spirit vehicles.

This discovery made many people excited, and they chose to resurrect in Qingfeng Sect without thinking.

In an instant, a number of water puppets emerged from the Qingfeng Sect’s Immortal Washing Pond.

One thousand vehicle points then fell into the pocket of Qingfeng Sect.

Of course, Ciyu Temple deducted half of the service fee.

Even so, Wan Liren was still surprised, because in just half an hour, he had gained tens of thousands of points.

I wouldn’t say that the financial worries that had been bothering him were completely resolved, but they were greatly alleviated.

As a result, just as he was getting excited, various voices of protest suddenly came from the Qingfeng Sect.

"Zinima, refund the money!"
