Chapter 2254 - 2239: Secret Technique for Advancing to the Void Hunting King

Chapter 2254: Chapter 2239: Secret Technique for Advancing to the Void Hunting King

A month and a half!

Sheltering six million and five hundred thousand people, this is nearly one-fifth of the total population of North Sea and Le’an County.

To accommodate this population, the officials from Ye Zhen’s Duke’s Mansion of North Sea County have been bustling tirelessly.

For instance, Prefectural Governor Qiao Hong and County Captain Tang Biao, have had less than four days of rest and sleep within a month and a half, with all the officials visibly thinner and drawn.

However, the rewards from Ye Zhen’s side have been dispensed generously.

Within this month, apart from receiving double monthly allowances, all officials received additional benefits.

After all, even the Emperor would not starve his soldiers.

This plunder of the Golden Moon World can be said to have filled Ye Zhen’s coffers completely.

Among other things, selling the 1.2 million Demon Clan slaves to Five Immortals Island, with a base price of one hundred pieces of high-grade spiritual stones each for a Dao Entrance Realm Demon slave, fifty for an Establishment Realm Demon slave.

Among them, the number of Establishment Realm Demon slaves reached 700,000, and the Dao Entrance Realm Demon slaves numbered 500,000.

Due to slight price variations based on their cultivation, Ye Zhen obtained over ninety million pieces of high-grade spiritual stones from Five Immortals Island just for these Demon slaves.

After repaying a debt of five million high-grade spiritual stones, and purchasing Mountain Range Cores at an average of ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones each and Earth Vein Essence Cores at eighty thousand high-grade spiritual stones each, Ye Zhen still held thirty-five million pieces of high-grade spiritual stones.

Indeed, Ye Zhen made a significant profit.

This does not count the vast quantities of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

However, ultimately, Ye Zhen only obtained five million pieces of high-grade spiritual stones.

While Ye Zhen is adept at making money, he is also excellent at spending it.

Whether it’s Ye Zhen’s Ascetic Priest, or senior sister’s Profound Yin Nine Tribulations Sword Formation, or the cultivation of the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter, all require a vast amount of resources.

Even under normal cultivation consumption, they use up more spirit pills and stones in one day than other martial artists use in a year.

Regarding these hundreds of individuals, the consumption is remarkably alarming.

With a grand gesture, Ye Zhen directly exchanged three million pieces of high-grade spiritual stones for a massive amount of low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade Thought Spirit Pills.

Aside from a small portion allocated to Shuili Dan King for further research into the Thought Spirit Pill formula, the rest was entirely provided to these elite cultivators under Ye Zhen.

To this, Ye Zhen is not at all stingy.

Investment is required for a return.

Just like this plunder of the Golden Moon World, without strong power and personnel under him, even possessing the coordinates of the Golden Moon World would be worthless.

Once Ye Zhen’s Ascetic Priest, Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter, and senior sister’s Profound Yin Sword Servant’s cultivation skyrockets again, discovering a world like the Golden Moon World would repay the costs immediately.

Once Mountain God Yi Xun sells those massive amounts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures plundered from the Golden Moon World, the resources acquired will undoubtedly support the cultivation of Ye Zhen’s elite to reach the Late Stage of Realm King Realm, or even the Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm.

Once their cultivation reaches that level, they will have to rely on themselves.

"Sir, I have completed the tasks you entrusted to me." Inside the Duke’s Mansion of North Sea County, Fengg Jiumo came to seek an audience with Ye Zhen.

"Have all the twenty thousand been properly settled? Arrangements have been made for surveillance around the area too?" Ye Zhen inquired.

"Reporting to the sir, everything is in place! Moreover, arrangements for purchasing Demon Clan slaves will continuously be handled. So even if discovered, our Duke’s Mansion of North Sea County can be justified." Fengg Jiumo replied.

Returning this time, Ye Zhen resettled twenty thousand Demon slaves, most of them from the Dao Entrance Realm, with a few from the Divine Communication Realm, in Le’an County.

These slaves, the elite from the Demon Clan slaves plundered from the Golden Moon World, are now all settled down.

They will be engaged in the most strenuous and arduous tasks in the mines.

Of course, food and drink will not be lacking.

Moreover, the work in the mines will be fully militarized management.

To put it simply, even as forced labor, they will undergo military management, training them to obey commands.

Once needed, once armed, they will be forty thousand elite troops.

More precisely, it should be fifty thousand.

On Dulong Island, Ye Zhen has also settled ten thousand Demon Clan slaves.

However, with these tens of thousands of Demon Clan slaves and six hundred and fifty thousand Human Clan prisoners streaming in, the finance of the Duke’s Mansion of North Sea County will become very tight.

Before next year’s land yields, all of these people’s food, drink, and daily needs will have to be supported by the finances of the Duke’s Mansion of North Sea County.

However, once next year arrives, everything will be different.

"This period has been hard."

Seeing Fengg Jiumo who had grown considerably thinner, Ye Zhen abruptly spoke.

Fengg Jiumo froze; it was the first time Ye Zhen showed such concern towards him, but with Ye Zhen’s previous promise of a title, Fengg Jiumo bore no resentment.

"It is what I am meant to do as your subordinate!"

"You’ve been with me for over a decade, right?" Ye Zhen asked again.

"Reporting to sir, it’s been fourteen years since I began following you," Fengg Jiumo replied.

"Your current cultivation is at the late Fourth Stage of Realm King Realm, right?" Fengg Jiumo has been persistently busy these years, and even occasionally retreating to Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl space for a few days of cultivation, but always with limited time.

Moreover, his previous cultivation was under ten-fold time order.

"Hmm, it should take two to three more years to break through to the Fifth Stage of Realm King Realm."

Upon mentioning this, Fengg Jiumo felt somewhat discouraged.

His former colleagues Gu Tieqi, Liuu Feng, Niu Er all became Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals, and even some of his old colleagues now have cultivation levels reaching the Eighth Stage or even the Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm.

But he remained stuck in the middle stage of Realm King Realm.

Although he knew Gu Tieqi, Liuu Feng, and others sped up their cultivation using Heavenly Patrol Divine General Martial Soul Pearls, making future breakthroughs to the Dao Realm extremely difficult.

Yet, the Dao Realm is exceedingly challenging for anyone.

But the fact remains that his former colleagues have far surpassed him in cultivation.

"Do you want to be the first Void Hunting King under my command?" Ye Zhen suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing, Fengg Jiumo was stunned, for a moment completely speechless.

"Do you want to be the first Void Hunting King under my command?" Ye Zhen smiled as he gazed at Fengg Jiumo.

This time, Fengg Jiumo understood immediately, without hesitation, bowing down to Ye Zhen, "Please, sir, make it happen!"

For a martial artist, martial arts is always one of the dreams.

For Fengg Jiumo, reaching the rank of Void Hunting King is a distant dream.

Becoming a Void Hunting King is extremely challenging!

Not only does it require a substantial amount of time, but also a certain degree of fortune.

Becoming a Void Hunting King is no easy breakthrough.

In the Celestial Patrol Division of Great Zhou, during his tenure, there were countless Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals at the Peak of Ninth Stage Realm King Realm, yet the ones who breakthrough to become Void Hunting Kings are few and far between.

Where does Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu’s countless Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter Blood Refining Martial Soul Beads come from?

They stem from those Divine Hunters whose cultivation cannot breakthrough to the Dao Realm, becoming Void Hunting Kings before their lifespan runs out, leaving them with no choice.

Once, Fengg Jiumo thought his biggest possibility in life was to end up as a soul-less Heavenly Patrol Divine General Blood Refining Martial Soul Bead.

But with Ye Zhen’s proposal, he knows he has a chance.

No matter how long he’s followed Ye Zhen, his master, Ye Zhen, remains an unfathomable mystery to him.

"If I could breakthrough to become a Void Hunting King, I would gladly give my life in service to you!" Fengg Jiumo responded, bowing once more.

"Fengg Jiumo, you know how difficult it is to breakthrough to a Void Hunting King! In the Heavenly Patrol Department, those suffering from lifespan depletion yet unable to breakthrough to become Void Hunting Kings, are countless." Ye Zhen stated.

"I understand," Fengg Jiumo said gravely.

"However, I have a secret technique that can increase your chance of breaking through to become a Void Hunting King to fifty percent, even seventy percent or more."

Upon hearing this, Fengg Jiumo rejoiced, but Ye Zhen’s expression turned stern, "However, this secret technique requires you to make a sacrifice!"

"Sir, as long as I can breakthrough to become a Void Hunting King, I am willing to sacrifice anything!" Fengg Jiumo answered without hesitation.

"Wait, don’t rush to answer! Because this secret technique requires you sharing your privacy! Moreover, viewing your privacy will be a Demon Beast!

Not only that, but you will also be able to view all the privacy of this Demon Beast, potentially sharing in its sensations, are you willing?"

"Privacy?"

Fengg Jiumo was taken aback.
