Killer Move — Landscape as Before!
Fang Yuan activated the killer move Landscape as Before, finally extinguishing the last traces of black flames in the eastern region. Meanwhile, in the northern region, the task of restoring the blessed land was entrusted to Little Hu Immortal through the killer move Natural Rain as Before.
Originally, Fang Yuan did not possess the Immortal Gu Landscape as Before. However, he could trace the origin of that Immortal Gu and create a mortal killer move that imitated it. With his attainment in refinement path and time path, accomplishing such a feat was easy.
Thus, he refined River as Before Gu and Mountain as Before Gu, combining them with numerous mortal Gu to form an extraordinary mortal killer move whose power was no weaker than the Immortal Gu itself!
In less than a week, the eastern and northern regions were completely restored by him and the land spirit. Numerous mortal formations were established as well, helping the environment recover and nurture itself once more, whether vegetation or living creatures.
"The initial stage of the plan is already complete, and I still have thirteen months remaining. That amount of time is practically luxurious."
A sense of accomplishment briefly surfaced within Fang Yuan's heart before vanishing once more, returning his mind to its usual cold clarity.
Now that the Blue Charm Lightning Shadow had been slain, the fires extinguished, and the floods dispersed, both the northern and eastern regions had been fully restored, nearly returning to their optimal condition. Fang Yuan could finally begin constructing miniature and small-sized resource points while establishing diverse sources of income to earn immortal essence stones and support both his cultivation and the management of the blessed land.
All the immortal materials from the inheritance of the Three Kings had already been sold, granting Fang Yuan a considerable amount of immortal essence stones — roughly thirty immortal essence stones in total!
For a rank six Gu Immortal, this was already a huge sum, enough to manage a blessed land comfortably. Yet in Fang Yuan's hands, it could be reinvested into high-yield projects capable of generating several times the original investment.
Even though he was merely a mortal Gu Master, every one of his methods was unimaginably profound, and his foundation across nearly every path was absurdly deep. Thus, even if the resources he raised were unsuitable for Hu Immortal Blessed Land's environment, Fang Yuan could simply establish an immortal formation and gradually harmonize them with the surroundings.
Fang Yuan decided to begin properly nurturing fox groups, investing ten immortal essence stones into the project!
That was one-third of his wealth, yet he felt no concern whatsoever. He gathered all the foxes within the blessed land and instructed Little Hu Immortal to relocate them to the eastern region. Afterwards, he established a transformation path and enslavement path formation designed to increase the chances of mutated beasts appearing among the fox populations.
He also brought in an enormous number of pouch rabbits and single-tusk boars, planting entire fields of golden fern trees along with lantern fruit grass.
The pouch rabbits were a bizarre species of creature, appearing as a mixture between rabbits and kangaroos while not truly belonging to either. They carried their offspring inside pouches hanging outside their bodies, feeding the young with their own flesh until maturity before the mother eventually died.
However, each birth produced no fewer than six young rabbits, and their reproduction rate was astonishingly high. Their diet was equally simple, as they could eat almost any kind of grass. As for the single-tusk boars, they were a relatively ordinary species of boar, albeit extremely ferocious. They lived in groups of dozens and could provide enough competition to prevent the foxes from losing their wild instincts.
The fern trees also served as excellent cover, nurturing patches of grass beneath them that acted as food sources for both the pouch rabbits and single-tusk boars. Meanwhile, lantern fruit grass produced small sweet-and-sour fruits at its tips. Because of their tiny size, only mortal humans bothered collecting them, selling them for pitifully low prices.
Yet for pouch rabbits and single-tusk boars, dietary variety was necessary.
After all this was completed, Fang Yuan merely had to wait for mutated foxes to appear — whether Crowned Light Foxes, Blood Jasper Foxes, or Four Seasons Foxes. All of them were excellent species considered valuable resources for various paths, possessing strong market demand and selling at impressive prices.
Fang Yuan planned to separate the mutated foxes from ordinary foxes before establishing another formation that would exclusively breed mutated foxes and mutated fox kings. At that point, the area would officially become a medium-sized resource point capable of generating enormous profits!
Afterwards, Fang Yuan purchased a large quantity of Enslavement Ring Sediment, excavating an enormous underground region before using Spring Egg Gu to create several spirit springs throughout the blessed land. With several additional modifications, the area he created resembled a naturally formed resource point.
Enslavement Ring Sediment was a rank four mortal material belonging to enslavement path and could be produced quite easily. All Fang Yuan needed to do was place it within an underground environment, after which the sediment would slowly condense another material onto the surrounding rocks.
That material was known as Stone Ring Liquid — a rank five mortal material belonging to both earth path and enslavement path. Fang Yuan had not purchased the sediment to create a resource point for Enslavement Ring Sediment itself, but rather for Stone Ring Liquid!
Most of his wealth had been spent in the process, leaving him with merely five immortal essence stones reserved for emergencies. Yet Fang Yuan was already highly satisfied with the management of the blessed land.
He was fully confident that once he became a Gu Immortal, he would expand it even further, turning Hu Immortal Blessed Land into a highly productive foundation specializing in enslavement path resources and transforming it into one of his core pillars.
Even though, by that time, he would possess two immortal apertures and would need to divide his attention between managing both, greatly reducing the relative value of Hu Immortal Blessed Land, Fang Yuan had no intention of abandoning it.
He was well aware of the schemes surrounding him, and he knew that if he planned carefully, the development of Hu Immortal Blessed Land would become tremendously beneficial for his cultivation journey in the future.
After arranging the newly established resource points, Fang Yuan finally prepared to begin the brutal process of replacing Heaven's Will inside Spring Autumn Cicada.
