Chapter 212: The rapidly expanding Seven Star Gate

After Xu Heming brushed off a wave of nobility and verified the skill effect, Du Ge had someone call the Seventh Junior Brother to elevate his realm.

The Seventh Junior Brother had extremely high comprehension. After changing to the cultivation method of Tianlan Valley, he completed the breakthrough in just half a day.

This was thanks to Du Ge providing him with abundant spiritual power.

In the battle with Tianlan Valley, the Seventh Junior Brother showed excellent control talent and played a decisive role in the battle. Du Ge needed such a clever helper and naturally had to cultivate him to prevent him from dying halfway.

In just one day, he advanced from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage. The Seventh Junior Brother was ecstatic and admired his Third Senior Brother even more. Occasionally, when he looked into Du Ge's eyes, it seemed as if they were twinkling with stars.

After helping the Seventh Junior Brother advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Du Ge stopped the spiritual power supply and went back to find a large power bank to replenish the lost spiritual power.

Xu Heming's realm was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Du Ge's spiritual power could not possibly elevate his own realm to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The more spiritual power he gave out, the lower his realm would be.

To quickly cross realms, Du Ge's next target for absorption and supplementation had to be the Golden Elixir.

The Golden Elixir was highly mobile, capable of both offense and defense, and could even fly. Du Ge had to reserve spiritual power for himself.

...

After briefly comforting the disciples of Tianlan Valley, Du Ge left Tianlan Valley with a group of elders with severed arms and their arms, returning to Qixing Mountain.

Tianlan Valley was similar to Qixing Mountain.

Both were places with spiritual energy, but not abundant. When the number of disciples increased, the spiritual energy supply would be insufficient, slowing down the cultivation speed.

Xu Heming occupied the place with the richest spiritual energy in Tianlan Valley and took fifty years to barely reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Before Du Ge took over the body, the pair of men and women flying with their swords that he saw were at most in their thirties.

So, the territory they fought for to the death was not even worth mentioning to the prestigious sects. Cultivating here was much less efficient than in those places with abundant spiritual energy.

Du Ge couldn't evenly distribute spiritual power to every disciple in the sect.

To ensure the long-term development of Qixing Sect, he had to do the same thing as Xu Heming, expand the territory, and find other places with abundant spiritual energy.

After so many years of development in the cultivation world, most of the places with abundant spiritual energy suitable for cultivation had already been occupied. It was almost impossible to find a place with wild spiritual energy.

So, there was only one way left - to seize.

The battles between the cultivation world were actually a process of redistributing resources.

To seize resources, there had to be people, which meant recruiting disciples. After recruiting disciples, more resources were needed, and the sect was formed step by step, eventually growing stronger.

However, this time, Xu Heming was unlucky and ran into a tough nut to crack. Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he also got himself involved.

Of course, this was related to the lack of heritage in Tianlan Valley.

Fifty years was not enough to allow the sect's experts to spend most of their time cultivating, not enough to form cohesion in the sect. Therefore, when they encountered Du Ge, a super expert who didn't follow the rules, the sect instantly collapsed.

...

Xu Heming knew the limitations of the development of a small sect.

Even if he cultivated to the Golden Elixir stage, in a place like Tianlan Valley, it would be difficult to make further progress.

The reason he joined Du Ge was not only to stay alive but also to gamble on a future!

Du Ge's domineering method of extracting others' power to enhance his own cultivation made him see a shortcut beyond cultivation. Du Ge's cultivation method and personality also meant that he couldn't rely on his own cultivation.

Perhaps in the future, Qixing Sect would be defined as a demonic sect, but there were demonic sects that had been passed down for thousands of years. How could the orthodox sects deal with them?

Only a fool would care whether the sect they joined was a demonic sect or an orthodox sect if they could seek longevity.

Moreover, compared to other demonic sects, Du Ge would also disguise himself and win people's hearts.

In this respect, he was much better than most arrogant demonic sects.

...

Connecting severed arms required superb medical skills, which could only be done by the Medical Immortal Sect. It would take at least ten days to half a month to travel from Tianlan Valley to the Medical Immortal Sect.

Moreover, the Medical Immortal Sect charged a high price, and it had to be settled with the commonly used spiritual stones in the cultivation world. But the combined Qixing Sect and Tianlan Valley couldn't even find a single spiritual stone.

So, the matter of connecting the arms had to be temporarily put on hold.

Fortunately, unlike the real world, as long as the severed arms were preserved and spiritual power was regularly supplied to them, it could completely ensure the vitality of the arms and prevent them from necrosis.

This made Du Ge realize once again the poverty of the sect and the inadequacy of his own strength.

Otherwise.

If he could fly with his sword, he could go to the Medical Immortal Sect and invite the Medical Immortal over.

But improving his strength couldn't be rushed. Qixing Sect and Tianlan Valley were too weak, and they couldn't even reach the borders of the major sects. With Du Ge's current strength, he didn't dare to provoke the major sects with Golden Elixir and Elemental Infant cultivators.

This matter could only be slowed down and considered in the long run.

...Before they left, Du Ge and his companions were at the Qi Refining stage, but upon their return, they had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. It took them less than five days to return to the Seven Stars Sect.

Money makes the world go round.

During Du Ge's absence, the Seven Stars Sect developed vigorously. Rows of unfinished houses were already taking shape, and a wide road stretched straight to the official road, connecting all the villages and towns along the way.

The reason for such rapid construction was not only the call of the Seven Stars Mountain but also the spontaneous efforts of the villagers.

The common people tasted the sweetness of the Seven Stars Sect's rapid development. The better the roads, the more merchants came, and the more valuable their shares became.

With improved roads, the carriages ran faster. Sometimes, when the Seven Stars Sect announced a new project, getting the news first could mean earning a big profit.

Therefore.

Even if the Seven Stars Sect didn't pay, they were willing to help build the roads.

The common people didn't need to understand the rules behind the stock market; knowing that the value of their shares was increasing was enough.

Merchants have a keen sense of smell. Realizing that the stock model introduced by the Seven Stars Sect could make money, and even faster than doing business, they swarmed into the Seven Stars Sect like sharks drawn to the scent of blood.

The once quiet Seven Stars Sect was now bustling like a market, hardly resembling a cultivation sect.

……

"The Seven Stars Sect's inner hall construction project is nearing completion."

"The Seven Stars Sect is tendering for the road construction project from Daluo Town to Erli Bridge Town, with an investment of 3,000 taels of silver."

"The total value of the Seven Stars Sect has soared, with the current valuation of the sect at 80 million taels of silver, and it will issue 30 million shares to the public. Those interested should act quickly."

"The Seven Stars Sect is tendering for the construction of a canteen…"

……

The many Elders of Tianlan Valley, watching the bustling Seven Stars Sect, with mortals carrying chests of money up the mountain or descending with joy, were all frozen in place, their faces filled with confusion and incomprehension.

After a long while, Elder Xu He Ming, carried by Lv Dong, came back to his senses. He turned to Du Ge and squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: "Sect Leader Wang, you truly have a way with management!"

At this moment.

He regretted it so much that his guts turned green. Had he known that the Seven Stars Sect was such a mess, he would never have bothered to fight for this territory.

Cultivators need tranquility. How could they practice with these mortals making noise all day long!

Moreover.

No matter how much spiritual energy there is, it can't withstand the pollution of this worldly dust!

Xu He Ming even suspected that the Seven Stars Mountain might have already lost its spiritual energy.

For such a broken place, he had lost a perfectly good Tianlan Valley, and he didn't know when he could recover. Just thinking about it made him want to vomit blood…

No wonder his injuries had been healing so quickly, and his attributes had never stopped increasing. His junior sister was truly powerful.

At this rate, the Seven Stars Sect would soon become the number one sect in the civilian world for making money…

Du Ge looked at Xu He Ming with a smile in his eyes: "Elder Xu is too kind. Cultivation starts with the heart. The 'Big Dipper Seven Stars Technique' is different from other sects' methods; it is based on enlightenment. This is our place of enlightenment. For true cultivation, we will find another place. As for spiritual energy? After the battle with Tianlan Valley, Elder Xu surely doesn't think we still rely on cultivation to improve, right?"

"…" Xu He Ming suddenly froze.

At that moment.

Having received the news, the junior sister had already rushed down the mountain with joy and came straight to Du Ge.

She looked him up and down with concern: "Third Senior Brother, you're finally back. You don't know how worried I and the First Senior Brother have been these days. You haven't been injured, have you?"

"How could Third Senior Brother, with his vast supernatural powers, be injured?" Du Ge smiled, "Junior Sister, announce the new notice. The Seven Stars Sect and Tianlan Valley have reached an acquisition agreement. Over a thousand disciples of Tianlan Valley have joined the Seven Stars Sect. The Seven Stars Sect now has 20 people at the Foundation Establishment stage, 200 at the peak of Qi Refining…"

The junior sister was dumbfounded. She then looked at the dozen or so amputees beside Du Ge, incredulously asking, "Them?"

"The Valley Master and Elders of Tianlan Valley." Du Ge smiled proudly, "But now, they are the Elders of the Seven Stars Sect…"
