Chapter 128 Power Expansion
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Xu Qiyun nodded, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Whenever there is a good harvest in Yuehua Fairy City, it is his busiest time, but he also enjoys it.
"Wait a minute, the Luna Market needs a person in charge, who do you think is more suitable?"
Of course Fang Chen would not let him go just like that. Yueshen Market also needed manpower, and the selection of these people could only be done by Xu Qiyun.
Having managed Yuehua Fairy City for a long time, he knows everyone's abilities best.
"If the city lord needs someone to manage the Moon God Market, the most suitable person should be Zhao Qian."
Xu Qiyun didn't even think about it. After hearing Fang Chen's question, he gave an answer directly.
"Zhao Qian?"
Fang Chen touched his chin. This person’s teaching ability is indeed good, but can he do a good job of managing a market town?
And more importantly.
"If I appoint him to manage the Moon God Market, will anyone be dissatisfied?"
Fang Chen was talking about Zhao Qian’s qualifications.
Zhao Qian was not one of the first residents of Yuehua Fairy City.
Fang Chen also understood his abilities, which were definitely not top-notch enough to overwhelm all the first batch of residents of Yuehua Immortal City.
Those teachers who had followed Xu Qiyun to teach from the beginning were only slightly inferior to Zhao Qian.
They also went through the development phase of Yuehua Fairy City with Fang Chen and others, and directly appointed Zhao Qian to manage Yueshen Market, which did not make everyone feel comfortable.
At least Fang Chen also wanted to give these teachers a chance.
"This problem is also easy to solve. Let those who want to become the manager of Luna Market take charge of a part of the business and compete to see who does it better."
Xu Qiyun heard the hidden meaning in Fang Chen's words and also provided a solution.
Compared to Zhao Qian, these teachers are closer to him.
The reason why he only recommended Zhao Qian was to avoid suspicion. He didn't want Fang Chen to think that he was recommending someone because of their close relationship.
"Then do as you say."
Fang Chen nodded. All he could do was give everyone a chance. As for who could seize it, that depended on their own abilities and understanding.
"Zhao Qian's matter is easy to deal with. After all, compared to the rest of us, he only arrived two months later. What about the people who joined us later?"
Seeing that they had finished their discussion, Lin Qingshan, who had been watching from the side, also interrupted the conversation.
Fang Chen knew what he was talking about.
As Yuehua Fairy City continues to expand, more and more people will join them. If there are more outstanding talents at that time, they should indeed be promoted to appropriate positions.
However, the division of labor in Xiancheng has been clearly defined. If a newcomer suddenly comes and his treatment and status in this division of labor exceed his own, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the previous people.
Even if you don't say it, there will still be a thorn in your heart.
"A title is given to reward merit, and a position is given to confer ability."
Fang Chen thought about it and said this.
After listening, Xu Qiyun fell into deep thought, but Lin Qingshan was very puzzled and asked directly: "What do you mean?"
"What the city lord means is that those who joined the Immortal City earlier and made contributions should be given higher status and treatment, while key positions should be filled by capable people."
Xu Qiyun answered on behalf of Fang Chen.
"That's what I mean."
Fang Chen nodded. In terms of management, Xu Qiyun was indeed more agile than Lin Qingshan.
"It's a way."
After listening to it, Lin Qingshan also felt that this method had achieved the best of both worlds.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Xiancheng is having a good harvest now, and you still have a lot of things to do. Don't waste time here."
Seeing that he understood, Fang Chen quickly spoke to Xu Qiyun.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Xu Qiyun then remembered that he still had many things to do and left quickly.
"I will also prepare the items needed to set up the formation for the Moon Goddess Market."
Lin Qingshan also left the top floor and returned to his room.
Seeing that he was the only one left on the top floor again, Fang Chen shook his head, walked a few steps to the training ground, took out the Moon Goddess Flower and Moon Spirit Grass, and began his routine practice.
The development of Yuehua Fairy City is one aspect, and his own task is to continuously improve his strength.
At least before building the foundation, cultivation is the most important thing in his eyes.
For cultivators, building the foundation is just the beginning.
What's more, a large ship from the shore of the Absolute Soul Swamp travels once every three months, continuously transporting soil containing forbidden soul grass to the Star-Moon Sea.
It can be predicted that the battle between immortals and demons will come soon.
He must at least reach the Foundation Establishment Stage before he can gain the upper hand in the war between immortals and demons and gain more benefits for Yuehua Immortal City.
Although Zheng Pingkang and his spiritual clone can use soul gathering to reach the foundation-building strength, they are still somewhat inferior to real foundation-building cultivators.
In the plan to secretly take over Feng Kingdom, Fang Chen did not consider letting Zheng Pingkang and Ling Nian's clone take action. Of course, he wanted to hide it from Long Jia, but there was also this reason.
After clearing his thoughts, Fang Chen officially entered into a state of meditation.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Although he felt that his cultivation had improved a little, Fang Chen did not feel much joy.
After consuming spiritual grains every day again, his cultivation speed has indeed increased a lot, but breaking through the seventh level of Qi training is still a long way off.
To go from the sixth to the seventh level of Qigong, one needs to open up the Yangming Meridian of the hand.
There are twenty pairs of acupoints, which are symmetrical on both sides.
At present, Fang Chen has opened up the third pair of acupoints, the Sanjian acupoints, and the fourth pair of acupoints, the Hegu acupoints, is also within reach.
According to the speed of cultivation after consuming the spiritual grain, the twentieth pair of acupoints, Yingxiang acupoints, will be opened within one year.
For most monks, this is already quite fast.
But for Fang Chen, it was still too slow.
He could only hope that the yellow grass would mature in two months.
After harvesting the yellow bud grass, he can refine the yellow bud pill to quickly improve his cultivation.
Standing up, Fang Chen took out his jade slip and sent a message to Lin Qingshan.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside.
"Boom boom boom——"
"Enter."
Lin Qingshan pushed the door open and walked in without saying hello to Fang Chen. He patted his storage bag and took out jade magic tools and polished jade stones.
Then he said to Fang Chen: "City Lord, these are the things needed to set up the protective formation. Please take them to the Immortal Mansion first."
"it is good."
Fang Chen naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, only the second-generation immortal palace in his dantian could enter the teleportation immortal palace.
Summon the second generation immortal palace and put all these things into it.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Qingshan took off his storage bag, took out the jade token, walked to the teleportation palace in the study, and entered it.
"You are so anxious."
Fang Chen also chuckled and followed.
"The independent space in Dantian is of a higher level, but it can enter a low-level space like a storage bag. The main reason is that the 'shell' of Dantian prevents the pressure of the high-level space from being released."
As soon as he came in, he heard Lin Qingshan say this.
Fang Chen was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this was the answer to the question that Lin Qingshan said he didn't know three days ago.
"Then why-"
After he came to his senses, he had new questions.
However, Lin Qingshan had predicted his behavior and interrupted him directly: "I don't know more, anyway, that's what the Blood Demon Palace's direct disciple said, and the demon cultivators seem to have done relevant research."
"OK then."
Fang Chen had no choice but to give up asking further and walked into the transmission channel side by side with Lin Qingshan.
After walking quickly, in less than half a quarter of an hour, the two of them appeared in the Wang family's guest room.
Nothing here had changed. The He family father and son thought Fang Chen and his partner were still in the room, so they didn't dare to disturb them. With a quick glance, they found that the He family father and son had actually arranged two maids to wait at the door.
"The He family father and son are quite interesting."
Lin Qingshan also noticed this and said with a smile.
"These are useless things."
Rubbing his brows, Fang Chen gently pushed open the door of the guest room and told the maid outside, "Go and notify your master to come over."
"Ah? Yes, yes, Master Immortal."
The two maids reacted for a moment before turning their gaze to Fang Chen and respectfully accepted the order.
Fang Chen also nodded with satisfaction and then closed the door.
"Is this the Immortal Master? He is indeed ethereal and heroic."
"Uh-huh."
Fang Chen, who was waiting for the He father and son in the room, heard the two maids discussing in a low voice outside.
Maybe they thought that if they lowered their voices, he wouldn't be able to hear them, but unfortunately, even though they had walked more than ten steps away, the sound could still be clearly heard by him.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Of course Lin Qingshan heard it as well and laughed out loud.
After laughing enough, he started to tease again: "City Lord, your charm is really beyond words. You have captured the hearts of two girls so quickly."
"That's natural."
Fang Chen knew that he absolutely could not follow the other party's rhythm at this time, so he just showed a confident smile and admitted it shamelessly.
Sure enough, Lin Qingshan was also stunned for a moment, not knowing how to continue.
After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I really can't argue with you."
"Hahaha--"
This time it was Fang Chen's turn to laugh.
The two didn't have to wait long before the He family's father and son came over together.
This time their housekeeper He Lai was not there.
"Manager Fang, Deputy City Lord Lin."
As soon as he came in, he greeted Fang Chen and the others first, and then talked about business: "I have asked A Lai to organize all the tenants and servants to come together to accept the gift of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Then let's go there first."
Fang Chen was very satisfied with their direct access to the topic and did not intend to waste time chatting.
"Yes!"
The He family father and son responded and immediately led the way.
When I walked out of the He family manor, I saw a large group of people standing outside the door.
A quick glance showed that there were nearly a thousand people, both adults and children.
The group of people were in good spirits, their clothes were clean and tidy, and there were rarely any patches on them.
"It's the boss."
"I've heard that the boss is in good health. God bless you."
"Not only the boss, you see, even the young boss looks much better than before."
……
Before they could even stand still, they heard bursts of discussion coming from below.
The targets were none other than the He family's father and son.
Judging from these voices and the expressions of the people below, the He father and son probably do a lot of good deeds in their daily lives.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The master has something to say."
Seeing that the master, the young master and the two immortals had all come out, He Lai hurried to maintain order.
He was obviously very popular among these people, and the discussions that had been going on all the time stopped in an instant.
"Everyone, it was the idea of these two immortals to gather everyone today. Two months ago, it was these immortals who cured my son and I of our illnesses."
He Shan first introduced Fang Chen and Lin Qingshan.
However, he did not mention the Moon God Chamber of Commerce and Yuehua Fairy City.
He also knows his limits and knows not to say things that shouldn't be said.
"Fairy?!"
Speaking of the word "immortal", the crowd immediately started to buzz again.
For mortals living in the world of cultivation, immortals coexist with them in this world, but are out of reach.
Therefore, their expressions are also different.
There was shock, surprise, awe, fear...
There are so many different things.
"Quiet."
He Lai spoke again to maintain order.
"The immortal not only cured my father and me, but also decided to teach us the way of immortality so that we can all become immortals!"
The scene fell silent, and He Shan spoke again.
"Teach the way of immortality?"
"Can we all become immortals?!"
"Long live the immortal!"
"Long live the immortal!"
……
Fang Chen's sight quickly swept over Tuo, who was the leader in shouting "Long live the immortal", but he didn't say much. He took a step forward and released the aura of a sixth-level Qi training cultivator.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
"Let the children under six stand on the other side, and the women with babies should wait on the side first."
Fang Chen then explained another matter to He Lai.
If a child is less than six years old and his meridians are not fully developed yet, practicing rashly will only damage his foundation.
Unless you are a genius who can protect your meridians, or you are gifted, it would be better to wait until you are six years old to start practicing.
Not to mention women holding babies. They can certainly practice, but these babies cannot be left unattended, so they should come in batches.
He Lai quickly handled everything according to Fang Chen's request.
Fang Chen also began to teach the methods of cultivation.
He would still use that cheating method and let them eat spiritual objects containing an appropriate amount of spiritual energy, and then he and Lin Qingshan would guide and transform it into magic power.
He had done this three times and was very familiar with it, so of course it went smoothly this time.
The spiritual food used is a semi-spiritual food made from freshly harvested spiritual grains combined with ordinary grains.
"This is, immortal power?"
“I feel like I’m a dozen years younger!”
"Isn't it said that immortals can fly? Mom, why don't you fly one too and let me see~"
These mortals who embarked on the path of cultivation behaved exactly the same as the original residents of Yuehua Fairy City, which made Fang Chen feel nostalgic.
Half a year ago, he entered the Jueling Swamp alone. At that time, he was penniless.
Up to now, not only has Yuehua Immortal City been built in the Jueling Swamp, and two trade channels between Xingyue Sea and the Wang family have been established, but Yuehua Immortal City’s window to the outside world has also been opened.
Now, nearly a thousand cultivators at the first level of Qi training have been added.
Fang Chen believes that as long as they are properly coordinated, these people will be a great boost to the development of Yueshenfang City.
It will also be the first step for Yuehua Fairy City to expand its influence to the entire Feng Kingdom.
Today's chapter is 4,000 words long. I've been quite busy these past two days, so this is the only way I can update. Sorry.
