A month later, Xiao Tian and his group finally returned to Heaven Dou City.
During this time, since Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong had reached level fifty and level forty respectively, they also made a detour to Sunset Forest to obtain their fifth and fourth spirit rings.
Dugu Yan advanced to level fifty-one, while Ning Rongrong advanced to level forty-two.
As soon as they entered the city, Ning Rongrong and the others couldn't help but get out of the carriage to breathe the fresh air.
Staying in the carriage all the time was indeed a bit boring.
Xiao Tian said to Lou Gao and the others, "Senior Lou Gao, you all should find a hotel to stay in first.
After I return to the Academy to handle some matters these two days, I will then find Uncle Ning to see if he has chosen a mountain top.
You can then set off."
Over the past month, Xiao Tian and his group had not been idle in the carriage, continuously discussing the construction of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect with Niu Gao and the others.
This was Niu Gao's specialty.
After he drew out the rough architectural blueprints, Xiao Tian offered some modification suggestions, such as the path up the mountain, which could be built simpler, with a width only enough to accommodate two people going up and down.
According to the steepness of Shu Mountain, this path up the mountain must show its 'danger'!
Of course, the disadvantage of such a path is obvious: if a large number of flying Spirit Masters attack and the Sect is not their opponent, the people within the Sect will be trapped.
Therefore, several secret escape passages also need to be built on the back of the Sect's mountain, and Xiao Tian also entrusted this to Niu Gao to solve.
As for the others, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was temporarily divided into five main sections.
The Deliberation Hall, the spirit tool Hall, the Medicine Hall, the Hall of Defense, and the Speed Hall.
Lou Gao, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He served as the respective Hall Masters.
After listening to Xiao Tian's instructions, Lou Gao and the others nodded and drove to the largest hotel in the city.
Just now in the carriage, Xiao Tian had given Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Bai He each a gold card, containing nearly one million gold coins, which he had specially deposited at the bank managed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on the way back.
This was their start-up capital for building the mountain gate.
As for Lou Gao, he was given a purple gold card with ten million gold coins, so he could quickly learn to make spirit swords and select a group of absolutely loyal blacksmiths to train a batch of qualified spirit tool Masters.
As for why Xiao Tian had so much money, it was naturally taken from the Cornucopia.
He obtained this Cornucopia when he was six, and it has been over eight years now, so what's wrong with having a little money?
Seeing Xiao Tian's generosity, the four of them were deeply moved, and at the same time, they strengthened their resolve to quickly build the Shu Mountain Sword Sect perfectly, so as not to embarrass Xiao Tian!
Especially Bai He, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, because his Speed Hall was the least qualified to receive this start-up capital.
Lou Gao's spirit tool Hall required the largest expenditure, used to cultivate a new batch of spirit tool Masters and various materials needed for learning to refine spirit tools later, which was very expensive.
Niu Gao's Hall of Defense needed this fund to initially build the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Yang Wudi's Medicine Hall needed to acquire various valuable herbs and work with Dugu Bo to research and produce the elixirs Xiao Tian needed.
And his Speed Hall?
Except for reconnaissance, it was useless!
At this moment, Bai He's heart was relatively heavy.
He was thinking, what exactly could their Speed Clan do for Xiao Tian to demonstrate their value.
In the carriage, Niu Gao seemed to notice Bai He's heaviness, and with a chuckle, he slapped him hard on the back, saying, "Old White Bird, are you thinking right now that your clan is useless?"
Bai He's entire face fell, and he sighed, "Yes, this gold card, having it on me, I feel it's too heavy.
If I don't do something, my Speed Hall feels unworthy of it."
Niu Gao, of course, knew what Bai He was thinking.
He remembered that back then, he had only brought himself to ask Yang Wudi for help, and had not gone to him, which showed he was a person with extremely strong self-esteem.
Niu Gao spoke lightly, "Since that's the case, when my Hall of Defense is being built, wouldn't it be enough for your Speed Hall to put in more effort?
Xiao Tian and I will discuss the mountain terrain he needs, the kind that is extremely steep and goes straight into the clouds.
Even if Ning Fengzhi finds something similar, it will probably require human effort to make certain modifications, and this kind of thing..."
Bai He instantly understood, his eyes lighting up: "So at that time, you want my Speed Hall to fly into the air and constantly bombard it, making it even more treacherous?"
Niu Gao said, "Yes, not only that, but the path from the foot of the mountain to the summit also needs your Speed Hall to complete."
After Niu Gao said this, Bai He's heart suddenly felt much better.
The moment Xiao Tian and his group entered Heaven Dou City, they were discovered by Qian Renxue's subordinates.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Crown Prince's study.
"Young Master, Xiao Tian and his group are back, and I also saw Lou Gao, the President of the Blacksmiths' Association, and the clan leaders of the other three single-attribute Sects, who returned with Xiao Tian!"
Qian Renxue frowned and said, "No wonder Xiao Tian was away for four months before returning.
So he went to subdue the Blacksmiths' Association and the three single-attribute Sects!"
Qian Renxue paused slightly, thinking of something, and said with some understanding, "No wonder the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wanted to buy that mountain.
It turns out it was prepared for Xiao Tian!
Xiao Tian wants to establish his own Sect!"
Snake Lance Douluo said in a deep voice, "Young Master, I remember that our Spirit Hall had intentions of recruiting the Blacksmiths' Association and the four single-attribute Sects.
Now Xiao Tian has beaten us to it, and if he establishes a Sect, will it affect our Spirit Hall..."
Qian Renxue shook her head and said, "That's something Bibi Dong needs to consider, what does it have to do with me?
As long as I can recruit Xiao Tian into my fold, then the Sect he establishes wouldn't it indirectly become mine?
Moreover, Xiao Tian being able to subdue these four forces so quickly must mean he has extraordinary abilities.
I'm becoming more and more curious about him now.
If Bibi Dong knew about this, I wonder if her face would hurt.
Spirit Hall sent people from its branch halls, and even the Elephant Armored Academy, one of the lower four Sects, to recruit them multiple times, but they never succeeded, hahaha."
Snake Lance felt somewhat embarrassed beside her.
His Young Master was too confident.
What made her think Xiao Tian would definitely become her person?
Moreover, the relationship between those four forces and Spirit Hall was already not good.
If his Young Master personally intervened, it might not necessarily be any better than Bibi Dong's attempts.
But he dared not say this aloud.
"Then does the Young Master want to see Xiao Tian now?"
"No hurry.
Didn't Shrek Academy send out a practice invitation to Heaven Dou Royal Academy a while ago?
I'll just go and watch the battle then."
