I only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at eighty years old, and then the system appeared.

Now that their ancestor had achieved the Golden Core True Monarch level, the Yang family began planning to transform Qingmang Town into Qingmang City. Although the area centered on Qingmang Town was considered a remote region on this continent, the population within a ten-thousand-mile radius of Qingmang Town was still quite large.

Once the news gets out, most ordinary people will know that a city is going to be built here and will move over. After all, a new city needs a large population at its inception, and house and shop prices will be very favorable at that time.

Moreover, there are almost no bandits in the wilderness of the cultivation world, because wild beasts roam freely in the wild, leaving no chance for bandits to survive.

Ordinary people can also travel with lower-level cultivators, supporting each other and moving forward together.

Although the cost of building the city is enormous, now that the Yang family has become a Golden Core family, they can collect taxes from the surrounding towns. Moreover, some of the work of building the city can be done by ordinary people, which would require much less money.

Within the first month of the news being released, more than 100,000 people had already moved to Qingmang Town. This only included those who were willing to come from within a thousand miles. Thus, a massive construction project began.

Lianbo Mountain will serve as the center of the entire city, and a huge city lord's mansion will be built at the foot of the mountain. This city lord's mansion already includes Qingmang Town, and the city lord's mansion alone will be nearly thirty miles in circumference.

In order to truly notify all towns within a radius of ten thousand miles, the Yang family dispatched all cultivators above the fifth level of Qi Refining. Those of lower levels set off in teams, while those of higher levels could go alone or in pairs.

Before setting off, Yang Hongbo called everyone together and said, "These are the defensive magic treasures I have prepared for you. Everyone has one. Those in the Qi Refining stage will have low-level magic treasures, and those in the Foundation Establishment stage will have high-level magic treasures."

"A Qi Refining stage cultivator only needs to inject a small amount of spiritual energy to activate it, and it can defend against the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage at its highest."

"A Foundation Establishment True Person can defend against the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and I have left a divine thought inside. If someone attacks you, I will come to your rescue immediately."

"I can reach any distance within ten thousand miles in as little as ten minutes, so I don't want anyone to travel too far. After all, even ordinary people would find it difficult to reach such a distance!"

"Alright, that's enough for now, let's get going!"

This mission only dispatched male clansmen, with Yang Hongbo and Yang Hongwei in charge of the furthest areas, and the rest being handled by clansmen at the Qi Refining stage.

In fact, this vast territory is quite beautiful and colorful in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of cultivators, these winding mountains and rivers are full of unknown dangers.

Yang Hongbo was in charge of the north-south direction. He remembered that there was a huge and bloated town called Chehe Town, 8,000 li away, and there were no other small towns within 500 li of this town.

There are only five Qi Refining families in the town, with four patriarchs who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. One of the patriarchs is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Normally, a small town has around 100,000 people, but this town has over 300,000. There are too many ordinary people, and they are basically all members of these five families.

So Yang Hongbo came here specifically. When the people of this town discovered that there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the sky, they were initially very scared.

However, Yang Hongbo told them, "I am an envoy sent by the Yang family, a Golden Core clan. We are building a city and hope that the people in the vicinity can move there."

"Really? It's a real person? You're not kidding us, are you?"

"It's worth it for me to lie to you. When a city is newly built, it needs a large population, and there will be many discounts on real estate and shops."

"Moreover, with the protection of the city walls, ordinary people will be safer, and businesses will have more comprehensive development opportunities within the city."

"Furthermore, if you are willing to relocate there, I will issue you a token. Those who arrive in the first year can get a 50% discount when purchasing real estate and shops. Only 75% of those who arrive in the second year, 90% in the third year, and there will be no discount starting from the fourth year."

"Moreover, this token can protect your safety along the way. There is a Foundation Establishment divine thought in this token, which can help you withstand three attacks from a Foundation Establishment Level 7 cultivator, and can also activate three spells to kill a Foundation Establishment Level 5 cultivator."

"You guys discuss it and see if you want to relocate!"

The people of Chehe Town began discussing the pros and cons of relocating, organized by family. Ultimately, the family with only one ancestor at the ninth level of Qi Refining decided to relocate entirely, while the other four families moved as collateral branches. This resulted in a relocation of over 200,000 people!

So Yang Hongbo gave the family patriarch a token and flew to the next town.

The town is called Cuihu Town, named after a lake in the town that is as green as jade. Surrounded by green mountains and shady trees, the lake shimmers with light, and occasionally a few water birds skim by, creating ripples. The houses in the town are scattered along the lake in a well-organized manner, complementing the surrounding scenery and resembling a beautiful painting.

As soon as Yang Hongbo appeared, the townspeople gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt. An elderly man stepped forward and respectfully asked, "What brings you here, sir?"

Yang Hongbo smiled and said, "I am an envoy from the Yang family, a Golden Core clan. The Yang family is currently building a new city called Qingmang City. This city is vast in scale and has unlimited potential. We now extend an invitation to people from all walks of life to move in."

The old man frowned and said with some worry, "Master, this relocation is no small matter. We have lived here for many years and have become accustomed to everything here. Moreover, Cuihu Town has beautiful scenery and pleasant views. We are really reluctant to leave."

Yang Hongbo nodded and said, "I understand your concerns. Cuihu Town is indeed picturesque, like a fairyland. But Qingmang City also has its own unique charm. It will be centered around Lianbo Mountain, surrounded by magnificent mountains and winding rivers, and has a much broader space for development."

"In Qingmang City, we have prepared many benefits for the relocated residents. The prices of real estate and shops are extremely affordable, and there are also various discounts. Residents who arrive in the first year can enjoy a 50% discount when purchasing real estate and shops. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

At this moment, a young man in the crowd couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how is security guaranteed? Although we occasionally encounter some minor troubles in Cuihu Town, it's generally peaceful."

Yang Hongbo patted his chest confidently and said, "You can rest assured about your safety. Qingmang City will have sturdy city walls and a dedicated city guard team. Moreover, the tokens I've prepared for you contain a Foundation Establishment divine sense that can withstand three attacks from a Foundation Establishment Level 7 cultivator and can also activate three spells to kill a Foundation Establishment Level 5 cultivator, which is enough to ensure your safety throughout the journey."

A young woman blinked her big eyes and asked, "Master, are there any fun places around Qingmang City? We don't want our lives to become boring after we go there."

Yang Hongbo said with a smile, "The scenery around Qingmang City is countless. There are rolling mountains with rare herbs and mythical beasts; there are crystal-clear streams where fish play and water plants sway; and there are vast grasslands where horses gallop and cattle and sheep graze. Moreover, as the city develops, there will be more entertainment facilities and activities to enrich your lives."

After listening to Yang Hongbo's words, the old man pondered for a moment and then said, "What you say is absolutely right. Qingmang City does indeed have a great attraction. However, this matter is of great importance, and we still need to discuss it with our clansmen before making a decision."

Yang Hongbo nodded and said, "Of course. You can discuss it freely, and I will wait here for your reply. However, this preferential activity is time-limited; the earlier you move, the more benefits you can enjoy."

After some discussion, most of the residents of Cuihu Town decided to relocate to Qingmang City. They were attracted by the promising future described by Yang Hongbo and were also tempted by the generous preferential conditions.

Yang Hongbo distributed a token to the leaders of the group who had decided to relocate. Seeing the anticipation and excitement on their faces, he felt very gratified.

Then, Yang Hongbo rushed to the next town – Fenglin Town.

Fenglin Town, as its name suggests, is filled with fiery red maple trees. Every autumn, the maple leaves turn a blazing red, covering the mountains and fields like a burning ocean, a breathtaking sight.

Yang Hongbo's arrival in the town immediately attracted attention. A middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, "Sir, may I ask what brings you to our Maple Forest Town?"

Yang Hongbo said, "I am an envoy of the Yang family. The Yang family is building Qingmang City and has come to invite you all to move there."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Sir, our Maple Forest Town has unique scenery, picturesque in all four seasons, and we live very comfortably here. Why do we want to relocate?"

Yang Hongbo said, "The scenery of Fenglin Town is indeed breathtaking, but Qingmang City offers a much broader space for development and more opportunities. In Qingmang City, you can own your own property and shops, start various businesses, and realize your dreams."

At this moment, a young scholar-like man said, "Master, what is the cultural atmosphere like in Qingmang City? Our Fenglin Town has always valued culture and education. If we relocate there, will the children's education be guaranteed?"

Yang Hongbo said, "Qingmang City will establish a dedicated academy, inviting renowned teachers from all over the country to teach and provide children with high-quality educational resources. In addition, various cultural activities will be held in the city to promote cultural exchange and inheritance."

An elderly woman said worriedly, "Sir, we are old and unfamiliar with the place. What will we do?"

Yang Hongbo stepped forward, took the old woman's hand, and said, "Grandma, don't worry. Qingmang City will provide special care and services for the elderly, so everyone can enjoy their later years in peace. Moreover, after you move there, you'll all be neighbors, looking after each other, so you won't feel lonely."

After some discussion and communication, the residents of Fenglin Town were gradually persuaded by Yang Hongbo's words. They began to realize that moving to Qingmang City might be a new beginning, a beginning full of hope and opportunity.

Ultimately, most of the residents of Fenglin Town decided to relocate to Qingmang City. Yang Hongbo distributed the tokens again, watching them embark on their relocation journey with anticipation for the future.

And so, Yang Hongbo tirelessly traveled to various towns, promoting the advantages and preferential conditions of Qingmang City. Thanks to his efforts, more and more people decided to relocate to Qingmang City, injecting new vitality and life into this emerging city.

As time went by, the construction of Qingmang City was also in full swing. The city lord's mansion at the foot of Lianbo Mountain was already taking shape, and houses and shops around it were constantly springing up.

The scenery within that vast territory remains picturesque, as if quietly witnessing the rise and prosperity of this new city.
