Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

Chapter 1815: Settling Down

Up ahead, a large walled city came into view.

The walls stretched tens of thousands of miles around a city with a landmass of an astonishing 100 million square kilometers!

That was 10 times the size of the largest country on earth, and this was only the capital city at the core of the Qin Family territory!

The Qin’s entire terrain was ten times that of earth’s!

It was unimaginably big.

Though, having seen the imperial cities of Black Tortoise and Vermillion Phoenix, Chen Xiaobei was not surprised.

“Childe Chen, our capital city may not live up to the imperial city’s standards, but it is vast. We also have a lot of places with good fengshui in the city. I’ll bring you around later. You can choose whichever piece of land that you like!”

Qin Yitian flew her spacecraft closer to the ground and had a closer look at the city.

Chen Xiaobei nodded. “I have a question: Is there a Spiritual Channel underground?”

“Of course!” Qin Yitian said. “In their early establishment, all the forces would choose good fengshui for their places with Spiritual Channels as the foundation of their forces! Not only can the Spirit Qi from the channels help speed up the people’s cultivation, they can also cultivate health and prolong life! This is vital to the growth and continuation of a force! It’s extremely important! Normally, the bigger the force, the higher the grade of Spiritual Channel they’ll occupy! Fights may even break out between forces for the best Spiritual Channel!”

Chen Xiaobei frowned. “Do outsiders have access to the Spiritual Channel?”

“No...” Qin Yitian shook her head. “Only the core members of our family can use the capital city’s Spiritual Channel. Outsiders can only use the spillovers which are extremely little!”

Chen XIaobei considered this and then said, “Ms. Qin, I don’t want Bei Xuan to be in the capital city!”

“Why is that?” Qin Yitian asked.

“Because I need an independent Spiritual Channel that my faction can have absolute control over!”

It was understandable since Chen Xiaobei had given three of his people a two-star Earth-God Instrument each. Without a Spiritual Channel supplying Spiritual Qi, they would not be able to wield the instruments, not with their cultivation at least.

“I’m afraid that’s not going to be easy!” Qin Yitian sighed. “There’s a limited number of spiritual channels, and they are even harder to come by than Earth-God Instruments. It’s almost impossible to find one that has not been claimed already. Even if you do find it, you would have to fight someone else for it! It’s a lot of trouble!”

Chen Xiaobei fell into deep thoughts upon hearing this.

On one hand, he had hoped his faction would have their own Spiritual Channel so that Xiang Yu and the others could protect themselves.

On the other hand, he was worried that their Spiritual Channel would draw enemies, thereby putting his people in danger.

“I have a suggestion!” Qin Yitian piqued. “You can temporarily place Bei Xuan faction in the city so that it’ll be protected! Then, you can take your time and find a suitable place. You can move out when you find it!”

“Mm, good idea!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “I’ll do just that!”

After all, Vermillion Phoenix was an alien environment to Chen Xiaobei and his people. There was still a lot of unknown enemies out there. Safety was a better option!

...

Under Qin Yitian’s guidance, Chen Xiaobei chose an empty plot north of the city.

It was a vast land with a superb environment. Within walking distance, there were many commercial shops selling all kinds of goods and services, a very accesible spot.

The only drawback of that location was that it was a little too far from the city center.

There was not much that could be done, however. The capital city had been around for thousands of years. All of the prine areas of the city had already been long occupied.

The area of the capital city was huge. This plot of land was thousands of miles away from Qin Yitian’s mansion.

When compared to earth, it would be equavalent to intercontinental travel between several countries.

In fact, it was so vast that the people from the north, south, east and west cities had all developed different traditions and cultures! The people from these cities may not even meet each other for an entire lifetime!

Some of the low-level citizens were not even aware of Qin Yitian’s existence.

Of course, this did little to thwart Qin Family’s authority. It was the Qins’ territory after all. Should anything happen, one call to Qin Yitian could solve the problem. There was nothing to worry about.

...

After that, Chen Xiaobei moved the entire Bei Xuan faction to the vacant plot and had everyone settle down.

Of course, the Blackwater Mystical Snake and the three God-Ascension Beast Kings could not stay in the city due to their size, so Chen Xiaobei kept them inside his Myriad Beasts Ring.

Xiao’bai and Sirius too. To speed up their cultivation, Chen Xiaobei had them remain inside the Myriad Beasts Ring as well.

Right now, there were Twelve Golden Winged Cicadas, a Giant Barbaric Tiger, Xiao Bai, Sirius, the Blackwater Mystical Snake and the three Beast Kings inside the Myriad Beasts Ring!

With so many Spiritual Beasts inside, the consumption of Spiritual Qi soared.

In order to maintain the beasts’ cultivation at an accelerated rate, Chen Xiaobei was obliged to part with 39,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones.

390 million low-grade Spiritual Stones was enough to keep the Spiritual Beasts cultivating for a long time.

After that, Chen Xiaobei gave Xiang Yu, Six-Eared Macaque and Liu Xuanxin 10,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones each.

Before locating a suitable, independent Spiritual Channel, the three of them would have to use Spiritual Stones to power their Earth-God Instruments.

Now, he only had 20,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones and 130 million low-grade Spiritual Stones left.

The Dragon’s Edge alone required 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones to work.

Chen Xiaobei was in a shortage of Spiritual Stones and he needed to figure out the fastest way to earn more.

Luckily, before he left Tenshou starfield, he had taken 30 billion low-grade Spiritual Stones. Also, there was still 200 million low-grade ones inside the Dragon’s Edge.

He was not short on Spiritual Stones for combat-use. It was the Spiritual Stones for daily expenditure that he needed to find a way to obtain.

He had not much left because he had used most of his stones to buy Spiritual Items. Crazy as it may seem, these 100,000 over Spiritual Items was going to bring Chen Xiaobei a huge return, far more than the value of the Spiritual Stones he used!

...

With everything settled down, and Qin Yitian sent off, Chen Xiaobei went to his private cultivation room and brought out the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

The two Two-star Earth-God Instruments and ten One-star Earth-God Instruments had been completely refined in the past two days.

Twelve rays of rainbow Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura lit up the furnace.

“Next, it’s time to upgrade my core item!” Chen Xiaobei rubbed his hands excitedly. “Which one should I start with? Somersault Cloud or Chaos Blood Sword?”
