Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 78: The Plan (Please continue reading)

Su You ignored him and instead had Xiao Bei continue to control the formation, constantly narrowing its range.

Countless earthy-yellow gusts of air swept outwards, and Chen Yuanzong dodged and weaved, using all the magical treasures he possessed to resist the earthy-yellow gusts of air with all his might.

However, as the range of the formation continued to shrink, his magical power was gradually exhausted, and he was eventually suppressed by the formation.

"They didn't kill me?" Chen Yuanzong had prepared himself for death, but it seemed that the other party had only suppressed him and had not killed him, which restored some of his will to live.

"Fellow Daoist, as long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master. I have thousands of cultivators from the Chen family behind me, all of whom can be used by you," Chen Yuanzong pleaded.

His magical power was suppressed, and he couldn't even self-destruct his golden core.

For his own sake and for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to make this decision.

Moreover, once he falls, the family will decline, so it's better for him to live on and perhaps preserve the family.

As his words fell, a figure stepped out from the void, walking on earthy yellow air currents, and slowly came to his side.

"Is what you're saying true?" Su You lightly stepped down and landed in front of him, looking at the man with great interest.

According to Qi Yuan's intelligence, this Chen family patriarch has some potential. He has dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, and his lifespan is only three hundred years. He can live for another five hundred years. It is hard to say whether he can reach the Nascent Soul stage, but he still has a chance to reach the late Golden Core stage.

Of course, Su You valued the fact that the other party still had plenty of lifespan. Otherwise, enslaving a Golden Core cultivator who was about to die would be a waste of his enslavement quota.

"Foundation... Foundation Establishment Realm!" Chen Yuanzong's eyes widened in disbelief.

Moreover, this person's appearance is exactly that of Su You from the intelligence report.

He could hardly believe that the master behind this formation was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It should be understood that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could not possibly possess such divine sense to control a third-tier grand formation, let alone a high-grade third-tier grand formation.

No one could have imagined that Su You had the help of the tower spirit, so he didn't need to control it at all.

"Alright, if you don't want to die, release your divine sense," Su You reminded Chen Yuanzong, who was somewhat dazed.

Chen Yuanzong came to his senses and, without hesitation, released his divine sense. He wanted to see how a Foundation Establishment cultivator would control him.

Even if the opponent possesses a secret technique for controlling the soul, without a powerful soul suppressor, it is impossible to succeed; more likely, one will suffer a backlash.

If there's a backlash...

Just as Chen Yuanzong was lost in thought, a powerful divine sense directly invaded his sea of ​​consciousness.

"How is this possible?" Chen Yuanzong was truly shocked this time.

The third-order formation could be explained, perhaps it was activated using some kind of secret treasure or technique, but the fact that the opponent's divine sense was even stronger than his could not be faked.

"Am I really going to be controlled by him? Should I resist?" Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Yuanzong's mind, but in the end he decided to give up.

The opponent's spiritual power was even stronger than his. Even if he resisted, he could only injure the opponent at most, while he himself would lose his life as a result.

Moreover, this person is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he possesses divine sense comparable to that of the Golden Core stage, and he also masters a third-grade high-level formation. He is definitely not a simple person. Perhaps recognizing him as our master would be a good choice.

Unfortunately, what Chen Yuanzong thought was the recognition of a master meant leaving a mark on his soul, allowing him to control his life at any time. But Su You's methods were far beyond his imagination.

After a moment, Su You pressed his slightly dizzy head and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

This enslavement was completed much faster than expected, thanks to the cooperation of the other side, which made the enslavement so easy.

However, a Golden Core cultivator is already the limit of what his spiritual power can currently enslave.

If he hadn't enslaved those Foundation Establishment cultivators, he might have been able to enslave a Golden Core early stage cultivator.

Right now, he could probably still enslave a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, Su You did not think it was a waste; the Golden Core was the main body, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators were just branches.

Mastering these two things is enough to perfectly control the entire force. Otherwise, simply controlling a Golden Core cultivator without middle-level managers won't work.

A moment later, Chen Yuanzong slowly opened his eyes, looking at Su You with fervent eyes, "Master!"

"Go and bring over a few members of the family first. After I've enslaved them, I'll move the entire Chen family here," Su You instructed.

With the help of the entire Chen family of cultivators, the market on Luoxia Island can definitely be built up quickly, and with more cultivators, business in the market will naturally improve.

Moreover, with a Golden Core cultivator presiding over the market, it will definitely attract a large number of independent cultivators. A Golden Core cultivator represents safety and security.

This is also why Su You wanted to control a Golden Core cultivator. Besides not wanting to show his face, he could also use the Golden Core cultivator's name to accelerate the market's development.

“Master, it’s easy for the entire Chen family to move here, but there’s still a third-grade low-level spiritual vein on Yuanxi Island. It would be a pity to waste it like this,” Chen Yuanzong replied.

“A third-tier, low-grade spiritual vein…that is a problem.” Su You scratched his head.

A third-grade low-level spiritual vein isn't particularly valuable, but it's not insignificant either. Moreover, it's fertile land that the Chen family has cultivated for hundreds of years, with mature spiritual fields, numerous medicinal herb fields, and so on, so it does have some value.

“Master, why don’t we auction off Yuanxi Island in Aurora Immortal City? That way we can recoup a batch of spirit stones,” Chen Yuanzong suggested.

"This plan is good. I'll leave this matter to you. However, the relocation needs to be prepared in advance. You can send your disciples to Luoxia Island to build markets and cave dwellings first," Su You instructed.

He originally wanted to create a small energy pool and send it to Yuanxi Island to absorb spiritual energy, so as not to waste the spiritual veins on it.

But Chen Yuanzong's suggestion was clearly better; after selling Yuanxi Island, there would be no need for anyone to bother guarding it.

At that time, the spirit stones obtained from the auction can be used to purchase a new Spirit Ascension Array in the Void Heaven Immortal City, which can be used to rebuild a spiritual vein for the Chen family on the island.

Sunset Island now needs more spiritual veins, on the one hand to provide more spiritual energy for the energy pool to store, and on the other hand to prepare for the construction of the immortal city.

Although Su You did not expect to build a large immortal city like the Void Heaven Immortal City, which could accommodate millions of cultivators, in a short period of time, he at least wanted it to be like the Aurora Immortal City on Aurora Island, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

A celestial city would need at least a fourth-order spiritual vein to support the daily cultivation of hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

However, fourth-order spiritual veins are rare, and artificially creating them is even more difficult. The only way is to increase the number of spiritual veins, requiring at least ten third-order spiritual veins to barely match the level of fourth-order in terms of the amount of spiritual energy they provide.
