There were one hundred peaks in Spirit Mountain, and each peak had a chief. This chief was neither human nor of any other race, but a spiritual body similar to the mountain god or the earth. It was the form of the will of the peak. It did not have a fixed appearance and could be changed at will.
Every chief of Spirit Mountain could not leave their jurisdiction. The chief had no real power and could not change the appearance of the mountain without permission. They had to follow the orders of the peak master and could not disobey any of the peak master's orders.
After Jinyuan's brief introduction, Su Chen understood his identity.
He was a spiritual body. Su Chen did not see it earlier.
"You look too ugly. Can you change your appearance?" Su Chen said.
Jinyuan nodded. "It's all up to you, Elder Su."
"Show me a long-legged mature lady." Su Chen had a wicked sense of humor.
Without another word, Gold Ingot transformed into a tall, beautiful, and mature woman.
"Is this okay, Elder Su?"
Even his voice turned into a charming mature lady's voice.
It was a bit interesting.
"Show me a loli with two ponytails."
Jinyuan was not annoyed and immediately turned into a petite and lovely loli with two ponytails. He said in a coquettish voice, "No matter what appearance you like, Elder Su, I can change into it."
She was a little cute now.
However, when he thought of Jinyuan's square-faced man appearance, Su Chen could not help but shiver.
Although it was just one of the forms Jinyuan could change into at will, Su Chen had a preconceived impression at first sight. He felt that the soul of a square-faced man was hidden in the adorable loli with two ponytails in front of him.
"Forget it. Let's change back to our original appearance."
"Okay, Elder Su."
The square-faced man reappeared in Jianghu.
Su Chen said, "First, introduce me to the specific situation of Spirit Knight Peak and take me around the territory."
"Elder Su, please come with me."
…
After walking for almost four hours, Su Chen finally had a detailed understanding of his territory.
The place was not bad, but there were still many things to be done.
Moreover, there was not a single person in such a large territory. Although Su Chen was known as an elder, he was actually a general without an army. He could not even find a subordinate to order around.
That wouldn't do.
"Phoenix Dawn!!"
Su Chen shouted.
The sky shattered, and Saintess Phoenix Dawn appeared with her eyes rolled. She said angrily, "What kind of person do you think I am?
I am the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sword Sect, not your servant! "
"Then help me find some capable people. That way, I won't always trouble you." Su Chen chuckled.
Phoenix Dawn said helplessly, "Wait."
After saying that, he disappeared.
After about two to three minutes, Phoenix Dawn reappeared with a hundred Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples.
"These are the reliable ones among the outer disciples. There are a total of one hundred people, fifty male disciples and fifty female disciples. From today onwards, they will be subordinates of Lingxia Peak. You can order them to work at will. You can order them however you like, as long as no one dies."
After that, Phoenix Dawn ignored these Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples who were looking at each other in confusion and directly stepped into the void and left.
Only then did these Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples react and come forward to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Elder Su."
Everyone's mood was different. Some were happy and some were sad.
Those who were happy felt that Su Chen was an elder of the Soul Mountain Sect, after all. For Lady Providence to hold him in such high regard, he had to be outstanding in some way. Originally, they didn't have any status in the outer sect, but now they could directly serve under an elder. In terms of status, it could be said to be a huge promotion. They'd been directly promoted from outer sect disciples to inner sect disciples. If they could latch onto this new elder's thigh, perhaps their days of rapid advancement would be just around the corner.
One had to know that the disciples of an Elder were direct disciples. In a sect, such a status was already considered extremely noble.
Those who were sad felt that Su Chen was only at the Sky Pillar realm and was even inferior to them. They were able to join the Spiritual Mountain Sect because they were geniuses who had gone through many rounds of selection. If they were placed in other sects, they could easily hold the position of Elder. Now, they had to work hard for a guest Elder of unknown origin. It was really detrimental to their future.
But no matter what they thought, Phoenix Dawn had already given them a death order. If they didn't serve this master well, they might face the fate of being expelled from the Spiritual Mountain Sect. That would be terrible.
"Get up. Men on the left and women on the right. Stand in two rows and report your name, cultivation, and what you're good at," said Su Chen. With these one hundred subordinates, it was enough to build his own territory.
Su Chen didn't want to do anything big, but at least make Spirit Knight Peak habitable.
"My name is Huang Bo. I'm at the advanced stage of the Sky Pillar realm. I specialize in the Nature Prajna Technique. My strength is comparable to the initial stage of the Great Heaven Realm," said an honest male disciple.
"My name is Mi Ya. I'm at the initial stage of the Great Heaven Realm. I specialize in the Mountain River Map. I can move mountains and fill seas. I can control the natural climate," said a young and lively girl with short green hair.
"My name is Jiang Sheng. I'm at the advanced stage of the Heaven Ascension Realm. I specialize in the Divine Rune Technique. I'm currently a seventh-grade Divine Talisman Master."
"Xiao Yu … Alchemist."
"Guo Changfeng … Weapon Refiner."
Soon, all one hundred disciples reported their names.
After listening, Su Chen just nodded expressionlessly.
In fact, Su Chen was very unsettled.
This was the foundation of the Spiritual Mountain Sect!
The average cultivation base of this group of outer sect disciples had already reached the late stage of the Sky Pillar Realm. Moreover, all of them were extremely talented. There were seven Divine Talisman Masters and twenty-six Saint Grade Weapon Refiners and Alchemists. The cultivation techniques they cultivated were also more powerful than the previous one.
The Spiritual Mountain Sect was indeed the core of the Spiritual Mountain Jing Province.
At this time, Jin Yuan also came over with the craftsmen.
More than two hundred craftsmen came with giant axes, long saws, and a large number of high-quality wood, stone, and jade.
Although it was getting dark, it was not enough to affect the operation.
They could start work overnight.
Su Chen said, "Who among you can design gardens, buildings, pavilions, terraces, and towers?"
"I can, I can."
A petite and cute girl with a ponytail ran over. "Elder Su, my family has been engaged in architectural design for generations. Many sects have asked my family to design and build their mountain gates. I've been influenced by them since I was a child and learned a lot."
Su Chen remembered that the name of the ponytail girl was Fan Weiwei. She was at the advanced stage of the Great Heaven Realm. She had the highest cultivation among the one hundred disciples and was also a weapon refiner.
Refining weapons and building houses … They were different ways to achieve the same goal.
Su Chen nodded. "Okay, I'll leave this matter to Fan Weiwei. You lead the craftsmen and be sure to complete the transformation of Lingxia Peak within three days. My residence is not luxurious, but it must be warm and sentimental. It can't be too popular or too niche. It must be simple and plain, but it must have a sense of design. It must be ethereal, but it can't be too ethereal."
Su Chen's requirements were not excessive. If it were anyone else, they would probably back off.
However, Fan Weiwei was not stressed at all. She said with a smile, "Don't worry, Elder Su. Leave it to me. It won't take three days. With these skilled craftsmen, it will only take two days to build a residence that Elder Su is most satisfied with."
