1815 Settling Down (1/2)

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.

\”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.
