Chapter 390: Encountering trouble
A sharp sword wind was released.
Like cutting through tofu, it instantly created a large sword mark in the canyon.
The instant the trees and gra.s.s was. .h.i.t by the sword qi, they turned into powder. The flame being released by the sword qi instantly covered a larger area and being covered in the flame, there was no heat, but the rocks were ground down. Finally they turned into dust that filled the air.
Chu Tian revealed a look of pleasant surprise seeing this.
It had to be known, his Netherworld Sword beside him had not moved at all, this was just purely based on his releasing his sword source spirit. Just waving his hand to release strong sword qi, it actually had this kind of power!
Was this the effect of training his sword art into the Perfection Realm?
Not to mention the strength of his sword qi doubling, him without a fire attributed source spirit could actually infuse the power of the Abyss Netherworld Flame into his attacks. In some sense, the Abyss Netherworld Flame entered into Chu Tian"s sword source spirit and combined with his source spirit.
So, his dependence on his weapon was not as strong as before. Even empty handed, he could still use the Netherworld Flame Sword, but the effect of the Netherworld Sword was increased even more!
Not bad!
This ancient sword art was constantly being changed and it was becoming more and more complete. He had reached the peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer himself, but he didn"t know just how strong he was. He really wanted to find someone to test his strength on.
Chu Tian shook his head as he returned his sword into his sheathe and jumped into the canyon.
In Oldman Small Town, the young miss was attending the dwarven elders" meeting. This meeting had dwarven elders, Miracle Commerce"s people, and several elves. Chu Tian had returned right on time because the small town was currently undergoing an important decision.
"We have reviewed it and the elves have enough qualification." The dwarven chief stood up to make an announcement, "We"ll now officially allow the elves to join the small town!"
"Yay!"
Vivian led the elves to start a cheer.
The vice mayor Meng Qingwu spoke out, "The elves are officially entering Oldman Small Town and according to the appraisal of the battle strength of the elves, the elves will own 15% of Oldman Small Town. The elven army will be unified and not mixed with the other teams. Vivian will lead them to maintain the town"s safety and order."
The elves were very satisfied with this decision.
Now that Oldman Small Town"s system was set, any power in the forest could join Oldman Small Town. But they couldn"t join when they wanted, they needed to be approved by the dwarven elders before the small town members could vote to accept them or not.
Because Miracle Commerce owned over 50% of the shares in Oldman Small Town, as long as they agreed after the dwarves approved them, they could join. Miracle Commerce could agree or disagree and this double review could rule out any bad intentions, stopping any impacts on the balance of the town.
The mayor had full control of the army and the powers this army came from enjoyed shares and dividends.
Miracle Commerce currently had over six thousand berserkers in Oldman Small Town, allowing them to rule over Oldman Small Town. With the suppression of this army, the other forces did not dare chaos chaos. When the elves came in, they immediately gained 20% of the shares, so Miracle Commerce"s shares fell down to 50-60%.
This clearly showed that the elven army was very strong, even being above that of the berserker army.
The elves had brought mounts and they themselves were very strong. The unicorns themselves were considered quite high among demon beasts. The strength of these thousand elves could match around two thousand berserkers.
These elves were led by Vivian, so they were secretly controlled by Miracle Commerce. They helped solidify Miracle Commerce"s control over Oldman Small Town and pushed down the other partners" control.
They did not have any complaints at all.
This was because they entered Oldman Small Town mainly for the right to trade with Oldman Small Town, they did not want to control the town at all. Next, the elves were one of the large races in the Forest of Chaos, did these surrounding races dare provoke them?
With the alliance with the elves, the town was much safer!
There was no meaning in attacking or ruling the small town. Friendly att.i.tude led to profits and there was long term mutual benefits, that was the way of a king.
But although it was like this, to gain more benefits and to avoid being gradually marginalized, the clans indicated that they would send more units. After all, Oldman Small Town was responsible for helping their allies, so sending more troops in would save a lot of effort for them.
The elves increased the small town"s popularity and had an important use to it.
Because of the many races in the forest, the elves" reputation was undoubtedly the best. The weak clans and the hesitant clans now believed that Oldman Small Town was safe, so they chose to settle in the small town or do business there.
Wouldn"t their popularity increase every day like this?
Meng Qingwu conducted research and Oldman Small Town was developing very fast right now. They might be able to double or triple their population in just three months and they could form a small city in a year. They could become a trade center controlled by an alliance army.
With Oldman Small Town"s large potential, naturally Miracle Commerce would invest even more in. They created Miracle Commerce Stores, Miracle Commerce Pill Stores, Miracle Commerce Talisman Stores, theaters, restaurants all over the town.
Miracle Commerce products were of good quality, good price, in ample supply, and were promptly delivered.
They had built up a good reputation among the locals.
Once this good reputation was established, they propagated very quickly. People brought good materials to sell in Oldman Small Town and also came to Oldman Small Town if they needed to buy anything. Miracle Commerce became their only choice.
Chu Tian, Meng Yingying, and Vivian, the batch who had arrived in Oldman Small Town first and were the founders felt a sense of achievement as they watched it develop day by day.
One could only see a lively scene like this in the large cities of the forest, but it actually appeared in a small town on the edge of the Forest of Chaos, even being achieved in a short period of time. It was considered a miracle in the Forest of Chaos, it was indeed something to be proud of.
"Chu Tian!" Meng Yingying quickly ran over, "Our back garden is finished, come and take a look!"
Yingying grabbed Chu Tian to lead him into a hidden valley.
This small valley was the small town"s back garden.
Chu Tian had personally chosen this sealed environment. There weren"t roads leading in around and there was only a secret pa.s.sage leading from the small town. This place was not big, but there were many lush and large trees that completely covered the mountains in the sky.
Chu Tian arranged a spiritual energy gathering array to gather spiritual energy and planted many precious plants in the valley, especially various Sacred Herbs, as well as several Half Immortal Herbs. Finally he placed a concealment array and an illusion array as protection, turning this place into the Flower Fairies" temporary residence.
Compared to the lively Oldman Small Town, the small valley was like another world. It was quiet, peaceful, filled with flowers, and had fresh air.
Chu Tian was holding Meng Yingying"s little hand as they arrived on the soft gra.s.s. They were surrounded by flowers in bloom and they arrived in a place that was like a paradise secluded from the world.
"Lulu, how are you guys?"
The Flower Fairies were fluttering around the flowers and herbs. There were video disk players and radios installed here, so the Flower Fairies could watch movies and listen to various kinds of music and programs.
When Lulu saw Chu Tian, she immediately happily flew out, "We are very good. Thank you for making a new home for the Flower Fairies!"
This was not all for the Flower Fairies.
Miracle Commerce purchased many new Sacred Herbs and if they stored them, it would lose its effectiveness. Now they planted these herbs and provided the Flower Fairies a new living environment, the Flower Fairies would also help monitor their growth.
It had to be known, Sacred Herbs had very harsh requirements for growing environment.
The survival rate of Sacred Herbs for humans were very low and only natural gardeners like the Flower Fairies could guarantee the survival of these Sacred Herbs. It would ensure that Miracle Commerce"s resources were not wasted.
Meng Yingying liked this fragrant little valley filled with flowers very much. She took in a deep breath, "It really is too beautiful!"
Was there a need to say this?
This is my masterpiece!
Chu Tian intentionally said in a modest voice, "What does this count for? If you walked in the Flower Fairy Garden, you would know what is called beautiful!"
Meng Yingying was filled with yearning, "Really?"
"The Flower Fairy Garden is naturally the most beautiful place in the world, we welcome Yingying to be a guest anytime!" Lulu warmly invited Yingying, while also saying while sighing with emotions, "We have never left the Flower Fairy Garden before and we"ve finally learned how important it is for the Flower Fairies. If there is no forest or garden, the Flower Fairies will be unable to survive."
"That"s right!"
"If we leave the forest, our bodies will dry up."
"We must properly protect our forest. Why hasn"t Chu Tian"s spiritual domain plan not started yet?"
The experiences of the Flower Fairies" long journey made them give long sighs. They realized the importance of environment to the Flower Fairies, so before Chu Tian could even speak, they decided to start the spiritual domain plan.
This was the right state of mind!
"No need to rush. Regarding the spiritual technology, we need to slowly start from zero. I"ll have to teach Yingying and the young miss about this technology first." Chu Tian did not have time to teach each Flower Fairy one by one. After all, the Flower Fairies" background was quite weak, not understanding arrays at all. He could only choose to teach these academically strong sisters instead, "When the time comes, Yingying will be responsible in leading the Flower Fairies to construct the spiritual laboratory."
Meng Yingying stuck out her tongue.
She almost became a little a.s.sistant skilled in everything.
Because of Meng Yingying"s Mirror Source Spirit, she could improve various attributes. She could help Vivian with the spatial laboratory and help the Flower Fairies with the spiritual laboratory.
Meng Qingwu"s learning ability was very strong, but her source spirit did not have any attributes. Not only did she not have battle strength, she did not have any support skills. She could only provide support in forms of theory and could not partic.i.p.ate like her little sister.
Meng Yingying thought in her heart.
I can count as half a student to Chu Tian now, right?
After all, Meng Yingying was the one who learned the most of Chu Tian"s knowledge!
This was not only because of Meng Yingying"s special innate talent, but also because Meng Yingying was the person Chu Tian trusted the most. When Meng Yingying thought of this, her heart was filled with happiness. Being able to help Chu Tian"s work, she realized her own value.
The establishment of the spiritual laboratory was first set.
Meng Yingying was prepared to play with Chu Tian in the valley when she heard the communication device in Chu Tian"s chest ring.
What was going on!
Actually daring to disturb father"s date.
Chu Tian took the communication device and pressed it in a somewhat depressed manner.
Nangong Yun"s voice suddenly came from the device, "Boss, this is bad. Someone has come causing trouble and two squads have been attacked, creating serious casualties. Quickly come and take a look."
Chu Tian"s face changed when he heard this.
This time was not set to a script, so this was really trouble showing up.
This was not strange. Oldman Small Town had developed this quickly, it was impossible for everything to be smooth. After all, this was the Forest of Chaos, but he never thought that trouble would show up this quickly!
"Go!"
Meng Yingying was filled with regret. It was very hard to call Chu Tian out to play and now they were being called back before it even began.
