Chapter 159: Sky-high Military Cost (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

The Zhou family was extremely efficient.

Soon, the matter regarding the Guang ‘an Prefecture coalition army was settled by the Zhou Clan.

The recruitment of Guang ‘an Prefecture cultivators was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Guang ‘an Prefecture’s Zhou Clan Residence.

In a unique immortal palace.

This place was temporarily the headquarters of the Guang ‘an Prefecture Coalition Army.

Inside.

The commanders of the five great divisions, as well as the Zifu Disciple surnamed Zhang, who was counting the battle merits, sat together in a circle, discussing the specifics of the alliance army.

The person sitting at the head of the table was naturally the Zhou Clan Leader and the Commander-in-Chief of the Guang ‘an Prefecture Coalition Army, Zhou Minghao.

Zhou Minghao looked up at everyone and frowned.”” The alliance army this time seems to be very powerful, but there are far more problems than we imagined!”

He paused for a moment.” Although the exact number of the allied forces has not been confirmed, the military expenditure must be an astronomical figure.”

It was the same as the war between mortals.

The cultivator army also needed to spend money.

The military expenditure here included personal magic tools, pills, talismans, large-scale war magic tools, array formation materials, spirit vein encampment, and so on.

Although the Qianyuan Sword Sect had provided a military merit system for the cultivators of Guang ‘an Prefecture, it could offset part of the military expenditure.

However, the major families of Guang ‘an Prefecture had to pay a large sum of money, especially the Zhou family who was leading the charge.

Actually, it was normal when he thought about it.

When Guang ‘an Prefecture was in peace, the Zhou Clan had the most benefits.

When the calamity came, the Zhou Clan would definitely have to bear the greatest responsibility.

Otherwise, if Guang ‘an Prefecture fell, the Zhou family would lose more than just the military funds.

After hearing this.

“How many spirit stones can Fellow Daoist Zhou take out?” Yang Linyuan asked.

Zhou Minghao glanced at him and thought for a moment before saying, Zhou family can take out 400 million spirit stones to cover the military expenditure.”

Hearing this.

In that case, the

Yang Linyuan’s right hand trembled slightly as he sighed,

Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance is also willing to fork out 100 million Spiritual Stones as military expenses.”

As he spoke, he cupped his hands at everyone and said,” The Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance has spent a lot of money to build the Spirit Day City. One hundred million Spirit Stones is already our greatest sincerity. Please don’t mind.”

After saying that, he cupped his hands and apologized again.

When Chen Daoxuan, who was sitting with them, heard this, he immediately felt that the chair under his butt was quite hot, and his entire person became somewhat restless.

How was he supposed to reply?

One offered 400 million spirit stones while the other offered 100 million spirit stones.

Since when did spirit stones start being measured in hundreds of millions?

Chen Daoxuan finally understood why the big families looked down on the low-end magical equipment market.

If the Chen family had so many spirit stones, he wouldn’t have taken a fancy to the low-end magical equipment market either!

The low-end magical equipment market earned hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones a year. How could that be called making money?

Shabby!

He lowered his head, feeling out of place with everyone present.

Fortunately, everyone knew the situation of the Chen family on Shuanghu Island. They did not expect them to pay for the military expenses.

The reason why Chen Daoxuan could sit here was not so much that his strength was shocking, but rather, his potential was shocking.

Few short-sighted people could become the chiefs of big families in the Infinite Star Sea.

Zhou Minghao was not, and Yang Linyuan was even more so.

They all knew that compared to now, Chen Daoxuan’s achievements in the future would definitely be even more astonishing.

Whether it was the Zhou or Yang family, their goodwill towards Chen Daoxuan and the Chen family was an investment for the future.

To invest in the future.

It was very important to a large family.

His connections might not be useful in normal times, but at a critical moment, they might be able to save the family.

During the Rebellion of God Extinction.

So many families had been wiped out, but why did the Zhou family have to wait for the timely rescue of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect? Was it just that the Zhou family was lucky?

Not necessarily.

Zhou Minghao nodded and continued, “”In this case, we have a total of 500 million military funds.

Although this amount of military expenditure is not much, it is enough to support them for a period of time.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll make a simple division of this military expenditure.”

Hearing this.

Everyone perked up.

Chen Daoxuan was the commander of the western defense zone, and he was in charge of the security patrol and defense work in the western region of Guang ‘an Prefecture.

He would definitely get a portion of the military expenditure, but he didn’t know if he would get ten million spirit stones.

Chen Daoxuan also knew.

In this battle, the eastern sector led by Zhou Mubai would definitely receive the most military expenditure.

Because in the early stages, only their defense zone had to fight directly against the zombies on Lotus Island.

As for the other areas, they were mainly to prevent the zombies from Lotus Island from using the underwater world of the Infinite Star Sea to set fire to Guang ‘an Prefecture.

This caused internal instability in Guang ‘an Prefecture.

In other words, the only real fighting force in Guang ‘an Prefecture was Zhou Mubai’s eastern defense.

The other defense zones were all reserve forces, especially the western defense zone under Chen Daoxuan’s control, which was even more of a garrison force.

He would be satisfied if he could get 10 million spirit stones.

Seeing that everyone had perked up.

Zhou Minghao said,”Mu Bai’s eastern sector will be fighting the zombies on Lotus Island, so they will be given 250 million spirit stones.

Fellow Daoist Yang’s northern defense area is backed by Ling Zhou City, so there’s no need to spend military funds on the spirit vein. Therefore, it’s a little less, only 70 million spirit stones.

As for my Spiritual Shell Island, all kinds of defensive measures are complete, and the military expenditure is even lower. We only need 50 million spirit stones.

Mingyan’s southern defense zone was located in the hinterland of Guang ‘an Prefecture. The possibility of it being involved in the war was small, so it only needed 50 million spirit stones.

As for the western sector…”

Everyone cast their gazes at Chen Daoxuan, their eyes full of meaning.

“As far as I know, there are very few spirit veins in the Earth Realm where Twin Lakes Island is located. If you choose to station troops there, you will have to spend a lot of spirit stones to build the spirit veins. In addition to other expenses, you will have to invest a little more. Let’s temporarily set it at 80 million spirit stones!”

Zhou Minghao said calmly.

Who knew that when Chen Daoxuan heard this, his heart thumped.

Even though these spirit stones were military expenses and not his personal property.

However, as the commander of the western defense zone, he had the right to decide how to spend the money.

In the end, most of the money would slowly fall into the Chen family’s pocket.

If it weren’t for the threat of Perfected Shenjue, the Guang ‘an Prefecture would not have been willing to pay such a huge sum of blood!

Chen Daoxuan really felt like a windfall.

He immediately had a good impression of Zhou Minghao, who insisted on making him the commander of the western defense zone.

Compared to Yang Linyuan’s gift of a third-tier superior-grade flying sword, Zhou Minghao’s gift to him was truly a setup!

However, this gift was so righteous that none of the cultivators in Guang ‘an Prefecture could say anything.

This was because a few days ago in the hall, it wasn’t that there weren’t any cultivators who objected to Chen Daoxuan being the commander of the western defense region.

However, he was defeated by Chen Daoxuan with a single sword strike.

He had gained the approval of the cultivators by becoming the commander.

Seeing Chen Daoxuan’s grateful gaze, Zhou Minghao smiled and nodded at him.

Smart people never needed to say too much.

Just this exchange of eyes meant that the Chen family and Chen Daoxuan had accepted the other party’s favor.

It could be said that…

This astronomical military expenditure came at the right time.

Although the Chen family now had a low-end magic tool business, they were still somewhat lacking in production capacity.

Therefore, it was difficult for the Chen family to obtain a large number of spirit stones in a short period of time.

In addition, the cultivators of the Fu generation were gradually stepping on the path of immortality. The Chen family’s first-grade spirit vein was gradually unable to meet the needs of the Chen family cultivators.

The matter of building a grade 2 spirit vein had also been put on the agenda.

A grade 2 spirit meridian would cost one million spirit stones.

After spending this sum of spirit stones, the spirit stones in the Chen family’s treasury would probably be depleted.

They even had to sell a portion of the spirit ores stored in the family.

This time.

With 80 million spirit stones, the Chen family could do more.

Even though these spirit stones were only military expenses and not Chen Daoxuan’s private property, he could use these spirit stones for various investments.

For example, the most basic spirit vein investment.

An investment in a spirit vein was an investment that the cultivation world would never lose.

The Yang Family had built all sorts of spirit veins within ten thousand miles of Spirit Day City, which proved this truth.

With this huge amount of spirit stones.

Chen Daoxuan also planned to implement the same plan.

That was to use Shuanghu Island as the core and build a spirit vein within a radius of 10,000 miles.

Of course, he had to consider the actual situation before deciding how to use the spirit vein he had constructed.

But compared to the Yang family.

The Chen family had a huge advantage, which was the ability to quickly process raw materials such as spirit ores and spirit herbs into products.

This advantage was unparalleled in the entire Infinite Star Sea and even the entire Immortal Cultivation world.

In Chen Daoxuan’s eyes, the cultivators in this world were too powerful.

As a result, cultivators were overly superstitious about their own strength and neglected the power of machines.

However, he was different. As a transmigrator, he had a completely different worldview and understanding from this world.

Or rather, he knew the advantages and disadvantages of the two worlds.

What Chen Daoxuan wanted to do was to use the strengths of his previous world to make up for the shortcomings of this world.

The shortcomings of this world were far more than just productivity.

This included the system, the economy, and even the culture.

However…

If he wanted to change everything, he had to build on his own strength. Otherwise, it would be empty talk.

Just like the Zhao family, a small wave would disappear into the dust of history.

They left the alliance headquarters.

Chen Daoxuan was floating as he walked.

“Brother Chen.”

Zhou Mubai’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.

“Brother Zhou!”

When Chen Daoxuan saw the other party, it was as if he had seen his family.

This feeling wasn’t only because he and Zhou Mubai were sworn brothers, but also because of the huge sum of money that the Zhou family had ” gifted ” to him. It made him feel extremely close to anyone in the Zhou family.

Seeing Chen Daoxuan like this, Zhou Mubai smiled and shook his head. He teased, “”I didn’t expect you to have such a money-grubber side.”

Hearing this.

Chen Daoxuan was immediately unhappy and said, “”Brother Zhou, you were born into a rich family. How would you know the suffering of us cultivators from small families?”

“Brother Zhou, do you have any specific plans for attacking Lotus Island?” He shook his head and asked seriously.

Hearing this.

“My plan is very simple. Fortify the walls and clear the wilderness!” Zhou Mubai muttered to himself.

“Fortify the walls and clear the wilderness?”

Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but frown..” Why? Aren’t you going to attack Lotus Island directly?”
