I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1218: Chapter 669: Undercurrents Surge Chapter 1218: Chapter 669: Undercurrents Surge After obtaining the Green Wood Evil, Chen Mobai stayed in Sky Country for a while longer.

Under his orders, Yuan Chiye quickly led a team of two hundred Qi Practitioners from Rock Country to provide support.

These were experts trained over many years to excavate water channels. However, these were all Loose Cultivators permanently employed by Northern Abyss City under the name of the Divine Wood Sect.

As per Chen Mobai’s instructions, since the construction of the two great rivers was at least a twenty- to thirty-year megproject, these Loose Cultivators had to sign a long-term contract of over ten years with the Divine Wood Sect.

Initially, the Loose Cultivators did not approve of this long-term contract.

After all, in the Eastern Desolation, Loose Cultivators revered their freedom, prefering to cultivate in seclusion after completing a task and only seeking work when their stock of Spirit Rice and Spirit Stones ran out–this was the norm.

But the terms offered by the Divine Wood Sect were too good!

Especially after Zhuo Ming led a team to open up tens of thousands of mu of Spirit Fields in Rock Country, achieving self-sufficiency in Spirit Rice, all the Loose Cultivators began rushing to sign this long-term contract.

Some even wanted to extend it by decades or even a hundred years, willing to work for the Divine Wood Sect for a lifetime.

After all, paid in Spirit Stones and provided with Spirit Rice as welfare benefits, this was a rarely seen high remuneration throughout the entire Eastern Desolation.

Had the Divine Wood Sect not been the premier sect in the Eastern Desolation, renowned for its good reputation, the Loose Cultivators might even have suspected a scam of the Demon Path.

Once some desperately poor cultivators verified the truth, all Loose Cultivators in Northern Abyss City went crazy.

Even upon spreading the news, Cultivators from all over the Eastern Desolation began flocking towards Rock Country.

Previously, Loose Cultivators would either sell themselves to forces in Fang Market or risk their lives in Yun Meng Ze to earn Spirit Stones.

But working in Northern Abyss City posed no threats to their lives!

Though it was tough and exhausting and involved taking commands from the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect and adhering to strict working hours, the lengthy contracts ensured they could accumulate a considerable amount of Spirit Stones by the time they were terminated in ten or twenty years.

Perhaps they could even cover all expenses incurred before reaching Foundation Establishment.

The smarter Loose Cultivators of the Eastern Desolation, just by making comparisons, began swarming to Northern Abyss City, which nearly resembled paradise.

Many creative sects and Cultivator families recognized the business opportunity and stopped trading in Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, and Talismans; instead, they led their own disciples and relatives to negotiate with Northern Abyss City about taking contracts to excavate certain sections of the river channels.

Naturally, E Yun agreed to this.

Initially, Zhuo Ming was worried this would compromise the quality of the work, but undoubtedly, this method saved a significant amount of manpower for the Divine Wood Sect, as the typically employed Loose Cultivators required meticulous supervision and training from capable individuals from the Divine Wood Sect.

Contracting to other forces, they only needed to finalize the instructions initially, set the targets, and then periodically inspect the progress.

If the quality met the standards upon inspection, then E Yun from the Northern Abyss City side would issue the corresponding Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice as progress payments for the project.

If Zhuo Ming was dissatisfied, they would redo the work until she was satisfied.

No satisfaction meant no Spirit Stones were granted; all major sects and Cultivator families wanting a contract had to abide by this rule.

This was also why the Divine Wood Sect, already dominating alone in the Eastern Desolation and because the contracting forces willingly sought this business, could enforce such stringent terms–ensuring that the Divine Wood Sect had no risks, and the contracts were fiercely sought after.

The second batch led by Qi Rui to provide support consisted of those contract holders from Rock Country.

Over a dozen major and minor Cultivator families and second and third-tier sects combined had actually amassed five hundred Qi Practitioners.

Qi Rui discussed with Luo Xue’er and assigned several simpler sections of the Mo River that required less mountain carving and earth breaking to this group of contractors from Rock Country to try their hand.

Zhou Wangshen, participating throughout with the status of Town Guard of Sky Country, had separately established contracts with these thirteen contract holders, specifying diverse inspection requirements for each river section at the appointed time.

“Why don’t the Cultivator families and sect forces on the side of Sky Country have such a business acumen?”

After discussing this issue, Zhou Wangshen couldn’t help but shake his head and say.

“It’s also thanks to Zhuo Shimei initially providing Spirit Rice to the working Loose Cultivators under a good reputation.”

“The first to spot this business opportunity was Hua Zhong, the family head of the Hua family. He is a visionary who, confirming that our sect was genuinely undertaking a decades-long megproject on the Eastern Desolation Plateau, sent quite a few disciples and relatives to actively participate in river channel excavation, Spirit Field planting, and tree plantation to stabilize the soil, investigating all the technical challenges.”

“After two years of actual participation in developing the Eastern Desolation Plateau, once confirming that his family could complete it profitably, this family head began discussions with Brother E, aiming to take a contract for constructing a section of the river channel.”

“After Hua family’s example, other powers in Rock Country began surging in, and by now, nearly all Cultivators of Rock Country are involved in the White River project.”

Qi Rui highlighted the key points, and after hearing this, both Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue’er were immensely moved.

“There are also six more contractors specializing in planting Spirit Fields and sowing Spirit Rice coming over, led by Han Shizhu. By then, Brother Zhou, please coordinate with the manpower of Sky Country.”

Qi Rui again mentioned the third batch of support coming from Rock Country. Sky Country’s Spirit Field resources were even better than Rock Country’s, especially with Yun Meng Ze nearby; even though Mo River had not yet been fully developed, the annual rainfall was still substantial.
