"Respectfully, my lord, the first batch of one hundred thousand Demon Clan slaves have been entirely transported to Le’an County, and the other party has taken over. During the transportation process, thirteen deaths occurred due to internal brawls."
The patriarch of the Seven Surnamed families of Dulong Island, currently the Grand Steward of Dulong Island’s internal affairs, Chu Zhao, stood respectfully below Ye Zhen in the living room.
"Master, the second batch of one hundred thousand Demon Clan slaves is also ready. Once the fleet returns, they will be transported to Le’an County in batches according to your instructions, and all the transaction procedures concerning the slaves are prepared,"
Gai Jun seized the opportunity to respond, hurriedly making his presence known in front of Ye Zhen.
Now Gai Jun is completely convinced and no longer harbors any other thoughts, only hoping to gain Ye Zhen’s favor and maintain his current position, focusing on cultivation and improvement.
After several years on the Primordial Continent, Gai Jun has completely understood the environment he is in and has properly situated himself.
He realizes that on the Primordial Continent, he is just a pawn that can be killed at any time, no longer the figure who could control winds and rains and decide the lives and deaths of countless people on the True Profound Continent.
In contrast, the present Ye Zhen, who holds multiple titles, has already grown to be a towering figure on the Primordial Continent, at least in his eyes.
"Additionally, the fifty thousand Demon Clan slaves allocated to Dulong Island are now operational. It’s estimated that in one year, they will more than double the arable land on Dulong Island.
Various mineral outputs can also be doubled, and furthermore, the city building plan of the Market of Dulong Island has commenced," Chu Jun said.
Glancing at the brief report, Ye Zhen nodded with satisfaction. Gai Jun truly deserves to be a talented man of the Stars Tower from the True Profound Continent in the past; the affairs of the Market of Dulong Island are organized meticulously.
"Hmm, you did well. Keep up the good work, and when the construction of the Market of Dulong Island is completed, within two years, I assure you one person will reach the Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm, and another will break through to the Realm King Realm."
Ye Zhen never hesitates to bestow rewards on subjects who diligently accomplish tasks.
Upon Ye Zhen’s promise, both Chu Zhao and Gai Jun were overjoyed, eyes filled with delight.
If someone else made such a promise, they would only take it as boasting or even a joke.
But from Ye Zhen’s mouth, they deeply believed it.
They have witnessed the miracles Ye Zhen performed with their own eyes!
Twenty-five thousand slaves are the utmost capacity Ye Zhen’s territory can host of Demon Clan slaves.
It’s not that Ye Zhen cannot afford more slaves.
With Ye Zhen’s current territory, once these slaves begin laboring and producing, not just twenty-five thousand, but even one hundred thousand slaves could be supported.
The issue is, if the number of Demon Clan slaves exceeds this limit, it becomes quite sensitive.
Among the Nobility of Great Zhou, there is no shortage of those who use Demon Clan slaves.
However, most utilize just a few thousand to tens of thousands, and at most, a few are considered numerous.
Ye Zhen deploying twenty thousand Demon Clan slaves on his fiefdom in one go becomes significantly noticeable.
Most importantly, the fifty thousand Demon Clan slaves Ye Zhen brought from the Golden Moon World, have the lowest cultivation at the First Stage of Tao Entrance Realm.
In other words, these Demon Clan slaves could form a formidable army with just some armed training.
By then, it might not only attract countless troubles out of thin air, but even the Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long might harbor suspicions towards Ye Zhen.
That would be a loss outweighing the gain.
Of course, Ye Zhen is not entirely without such thoughts.
If it turns out necessary, these twenty-five thousand Demon Clan slaves could be equipped and promptly transformed into an elite army in the future.
When the time comes, letting Demon Clan slaves serve as cannon fodder is far better than sacrificing the brave men of North Sea County.
The remaining twenty-five thousand Demon Clan slaves would be unsustainable if kept in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space for too long.
Moreover, with so many people in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space, especially those unruly Demon Clan slaves, it fouls the dedicated space allocated within the Mirage Dragon Pearl with stench when dealing with their needs.
Not to mention Achou’s protests, even Ye Zhen himself couldn’t stand it.
After arranging matters regarding the substantial development through the placement of Demon Clan slaves in Le’an County, Ye Zhen left the Market of Dulong Island and headed straight for Five Immortals Island.
The remaining twenty-five thousand Demon Clan slaves and the massive resources plundered from the Golden Moon World of Fifth Crown Prince Poyue, Ye Zhen intends to handle through Five Immortals Island.
Although Ye Zhen’s Market of Dulong Island has already scaled up, handling such a massive amount of resources and converting them quickly is beyond its capacity.
Most importantly, Ye Zhen intends not only to convert these plundered resources but also to exchange them for urgently needed cultivation resources.
And these cultivation resources can only be collected and provided to Ye Zhen within a short period on Five Immortals Island.
On Five Immortals Island, within Mountain God Yi Xun’s residence.
Upon Ye Zhen’s arrival, Mountain God Yi Xun was already waiting at the doorstep to greet him.
"County Prince Ye, whose fame resonates across the Human Demon Battlefield, arrives today, making my Five Immortals Island truly illustrious!" Upon meeting, Mountain God Yi Xun greeted Ye Zhen with a polite statement that made Ye Zhen tremble inside.
"Elder Yi, spare the formalities. You should stick to calling me Ye Zhen or Ye, it’s more reassuring. Don’t you understand how I’ve come this far?"
"Besides, I’m considered a member of Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall, haven’t you forgotten?" Ye Zhen complained.
As Mountain God Yi Xun invited Ye Zhen inside, he replied with a smile, "A member of Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall? Has County Prince Ye actively completed one or two affairs of the Five Immortals Hall over the years?"
Ye Zhen paused, then smiled wryly, having indeed forgotten about that.
Completing at least one affair per year is the obligation and responsibility of the disciples of the Five Immortals Hall.
Ye Zhen, however, has truly been quite busy these past few years.
Previously preoccupied with searching for Caiyi, wandering around, followed by the sudden co-defense at the Human Demon Battlefield; naturally, the Five Immortals Hall tasks were put aside.
"Elder Yi, I sincerely apologize!"
Ye Zhen wore a wry smile, "I genuinely didn’t mean to neglect this; the past few years have just been unexpectedly eventful, keeping me overly occupied."
For those who have helped him, Ye Zhen holds significant respect.
"Regarding your affairs, I’ve heard a bit," Mountain God Yi Xun said.
"So, have I been expelled from Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall?" Ye Zhen asked.
"That’s not the case."
Mountain God Yi Xun said with a slight smile, "Although you haven’t completed Five Immortals Hall tasks, you are nonetheless the first-ever ten-streak winner on Five Immortals Island, imparting a rather positive influence on our Five Immortals Island.
Therefore, after consulting with the Venerable, I reclassified your identity to be a Guest Elder of Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall. This way, you remain a member of Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall, yet you no longer need to fulfill matters within the hall.
When you find some time, you can revert to disciple status, and it’s never too late."
"Thank you, Elder Yi, for managing this for me."
Ye Zhen expressed his gratitude sincerely, knowing Mountain God Yi Xun was indeed considering his situation.
It’s always been clear, Mountain God Yi Xun harbors significant regard for Ye Zhen, despite Ye Zhen not knowing why, yet he deeply appreciates this consideration.
"Haha, no need to thank an old man like me; I just pulled back a potential, somewhat influential Guest Elder for our Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall," Mountain God Yi Xun said straightforwardly.
"By the way, have you come this time to transact the Demon Clan slaves you mentioned last time?" Mountain God Yi Xun asked.
"Indeed!"
"Elder Yi, besides these, I have many other resources to transact; should be manageable?" As he spoke, Ye Zhen handed out a Jade Scroll list.
"In this world, there is no cargo our Five Immortals Island cannot handle!"
With utmost confidence, Mountain God Yi Xun glanced at Ye Zhen’s Jade Scroll list, and instantly, Mountain God Yi Xun’s mouth twitched.
"This much... Did you plunder a world?"
Ye Zhen inwardly marveled that he did, though he wouldn’t admit it.
"Can it be processed promptly?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Haha, it truly is substantial, but even ten times this, would be digestible! Tell, would you prefer Spirit Stones, or cultivation-use Psychic Spirit Pills?" Mountain God Yi Xun inquired, as these two primarily serve as commodities in transactions.
"I don’t need Spirit Stones or Psychic Spirit Pills for now! I want large quantities of mountain veins, earth veins, and even Star Essence Cores!" Ye Zhen declared.
Instantly, Mountain God Yi Xun was taken aback!
