Longzang

Chapter 477 does not affect the research.

This time, the Xu family youth's transformation was different from the past, and the speed was beyond the norm.

Whether in the new city or in the army, as long as two young men and women from the Xu family get together, they will immediately reproduce and finish within three times, so that Wei Yuan cannot even give the order in their minds in time.

The last time it affected only a few thousand people, but this time the scope is much wider, involving more than 40,000 people, and almost everyone has been affected.

Sun Yu, Xu Henshui, Chuhe Laodao, and Bao Yun all rushed over immediately, but none of them found anything unusual. Just like last time, no one could figure out why this had happened.

Wei Yuan was also very troubled. Over the past year, the young men and women of the Xu family had become much more active and gradually became no different from normal people. Wei Yuan thought they could gradually live like real normal people, but he did not expect this to happen again, and without any warning.

At this time, Sun Yu and Xu Henshui examined several girls in succession and came to the same conclusion: there was already a little life growing in their wombs.

Wei Yuan discovered that they had gained a new bit of luck, which, although extremely insignificant, meant that a brand new life had been born.

However, with a major battle imminent, Wei Yuan couldn't delve into the matter further. He could only reorganize the army, removing the pregnant girls from the ranks and concentrating them in the new city. Fortunately, compared to last time, the girls' physical abilities had generally improved by one level, so their pregnancy wouldn't affect their daily activities.

After examining the situation, the cultivators of Taichu Palace were also at a loss and could only leave to continue their own work.

The change in the Xu family's youth gave Wei Yuan a strong sense of crisis again. Previously, Qingming had always been free to come and go, but only a few important places, such as the new city, the core of the realm, the main peak, the medicine garden, and the spirit field, were off-limits to irrelevant people.

However, recalling his experiences in the Witch Domain, Wei Yuan realized that without the cover of military aura, a movement of even a hundred miles could be detected. Qingming wasn't without means to monitor the world, but Wei Yuan had been reluctant to use them in the past. But now, in wartime, everything was different.

After leaving the new city, Wei Yuan went to Zhang Sheng's residence and discussed with her for a full hour, eventually coming up with a general plan on how to monitor the heavens and earth in the Azure Netherworld.

Wei Yuan then re-entered his sea of ​​consciousness. The central city was now above the water, and a ring of land surrounding it had risen above the water. The overcrowded mortals in the city immediately began constructing houses and facilities on the surrounding land. However, they cherished this hard-won land; houses were built only on rocks, and most of the land was cultivated into spiritual fields, planted with spiritual plants and herbs.

Wei Yuan raised another piece of land several miles away from the city, about a mile in circumference, surrounded by water. Several immortal plants shimmered with light, transporting thousands of mortals to this small island to begin constructing facilities.

Wei Yuan took one last look around the city and discovered that Taigong Fishing Grounds had been moved to the edge of the newly formed land. A dozen or so people were lined up on the platform, a rather impressive sight.

However, the direction they were facing was always the same as the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the aquatic spiritual plant. It was the same direction when they were on the city wall, and it's still the same direction now that they've moved to the shore.

With a thought, Wei Yuan saw that the broken Dinghai Ball was still embedded in the ground, surrounded by a pool of deep blue water, which was clearly distinct from the cyan water.

Wei Yuan tried lifting the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and found that after releasing the water inside, he could lift it again. However, because it was damaged, its grade had decreased, and it could now only hold water a thousand feet square.

The aquatic immortal plants began to stir, with hundreds of life forms emerging from within them at once. It was unknown what kind of immortal plants they would eventually develop into. Having observed everything and finding nothing else unusual, Wei Yuan was about to leave when he suddenly saw a small group of mortals walk to the shore and begin marking off territory. The land they marked was only a small area; most of it consisted of shallow water and deep water. They then erected a sign: "Northern Sea Fish Research Institute."

Whether there are fish in the Northern Sea is unknown, but there certainly aren't any here... Wei Yuan muttered to himself. Other research institutes were one thing, but this one was just too unreliable, so Wei Yuan couldn't help but transform into a mortal and go over to chat with the group.

"Are there fish in this vast body of water?" Wei Yuan asked.

A middle-aged woman who was directing the group to put up the sign rolled her eyes and said, "Of course not."

"How can we conduct research without fish?"

The middle-aged woman glared at Wei Yuan impatiently, but finding the young man rather pleasing to the eye, she became much more patient and said, "The important thing about the research institute is research; what you research isn't important. Once we have a research institute, we can have territory, we can have a director, a first deputy director, a second deputy director, an assistant to the first director, an assistant to the second director… In the future, we can set up a dedicated research department for each type of fish, which will create many more managers and stewards. We can even subdivide the fish, creating a department to study the fish head, a department to study the fish body…"

Seeing Wei Yuan's stunned expression, the middle-aged woman squeezed his strong arm and said meaningfully, "Young man, you're still young. Even though there are no fish here, does that mean you can't study them? Oh, by the way, I'm short an assistant. Would you like to consider it..."

Wei Yuan's figure disappeared.

Just as Wei Yuan was about to leave his sea of ​​consciousness, he suddenly saw a mortal fishing and suddenly pull up his rod, actually catching a big, silvery fish!

This fish is fresh, lively, and very bouncy; it takes several people to hold it down.

Wei Yuan silently scanned the entire body of water with his divine sense, and then carefully searched the surrounding area several times, but there wasn't a single fish in sight.

Wei Yuan examined the fish more carefully. Although he didn't know what kind it was, it was indeed a fish with its own spirit, just like the mortals here.

Having found nothing from the search, Wei Yuan temporarily put the matter aside, then gave tasks to a few mortals before leaving.

The mortals perked up and immediately found a stone, skillfully shaped it into the likeness of Tianyu, and placed it on the stove. Then they went out and gathered several hundred people, counted them, and then eliminated about a hundred, leaving only three hundred strong, simple-minded guys eager to prove their intelligence, who began to kneel and worship before the Tianyu statue.

As for the prayer, some disagreement arose among them. Everyone agreed that the prayer needed to be innovative, but Wei Yuan forbade any arbitrary expansion of its scope. After carefully considering Wei Yuan's order, they concluded that Wei Yuan's true meaning was that the scope of the prayer could not be expanded horizontally or downwards, so they decided to trace it back to its origins.

So everyone knelt down and began to pray devoutly: "Honorable Nine Desolations Power - Heavenly Language, we sincerely thank your ancestors for eighteen generations..."

Leaving his sea of ​​consciousness, Wei Yuan recalled the Northern Sea Fish Research Institute, finding it increasingly strange. How did they learn such classic practices of the Western Jin Dynasty officialdom? Were they self-taught, or was some minor official reincarnated here?
