Chapter 743: Chapter 743 Establishing a City

"Where am I supposed to find an architect?"

Xu Fei was worrying about something at the moment.

Lin Chen needed him to find an architect to build Yunfei City.

Lin Chen had emphasized that there could be some leeway with the buildings within the city, but the construction of the Outer City was of utmost importance, as it had to integrate formations, mechanisms, and defenses; therefore, he must find a true architect.

However, Martial Artists who pursued the path of architecture had bleak prospects, and such talents usually only appeared within the palace.

Finding an architect with proper skills from among ordinary Martial Artists was incredibly difficult.

In the eyes of Martial Artists like Xu Fei, architects seemed insignificant; they valued their own strength and combat skills more.

...

At this moment, inside a hostel in Yunfei Kingdom, a man with blue hair, Xu Gang, was a great architect, coming from a family of architects for three generations. Yet, as times changed, his family’s business gradually declined. His ancestors could still get some construction work for Sects, but by Xu Gang’s generation, such jobs were few and far between, relying on the hostel to make ends meet, and sometimes they couldn’t even open for business for several months at a time. Xu Gang was deeply anxious about this—if he didn’t switch careers or find a new way to make a living, he might not even manage to survive. Without cultivation resources, improving his Cultivation was impossible, and his life was in a dire situation. Xu Gang was not a local of Yunfei Kingdom; he came from a nearby First Class Vassal State, the Great Heavenly Country. However, even in the Great Heavenly Country, an architect of his caliber also found no use for his skills. Recently, he heard that a new force had arrived in Yunfei Kingdom and was building on a large scale with generous compensation. Upon hearing this news, Xu Gang immediately set out for Yunfei Kingdom, seeking an opportunity.

His anxiety lay in the fact that the other party might not believe in his architectural skills.

"Brother Xu, you need to have confidence, with your architectural level, there’s definitely no problem," Xu Gang’s good friend Wang Fei, also a constructor, the two of them had been relying on each other for survival, barely managing to sustain themselves in the Great Heavenly Country, so they decided to look for opportunities in Yunfei Kingdom.

"Brother Wang, did you get all the details? What’s the background of this new force? We have to understand their preferences to build something to their satisfaction," Xu Gang said to Wang Fei, calmly.

"I’ve found out everything, these people are not to be taken lightly, they are the commerce guild of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom. As long as it’s from the Lingxi Commerce Guild, then it belongs to the Jade Cauldron Kingdom," Wang Fei shared the information he had gathered with Xu Gang.

Xu Gang’s eyes lit up; he had heard of the Jade Cauldron Sect and knew their Lingxi Commerce Guild had gained a renowned reputation in several kingdoms. The Guild could solve various issues quickly, taking root in the kingdoms, clearly backed by a powerful force.

"The Jade Cauldron Sect? Aren’t they in Cloud Sky City of the Frost Chill Kingdom? Their origin seems to be Divine Sun City of the Great Flame Dynasty, how did they come here to establish a city?" Despite nearing starvation, with several months without Cultivation resources, Xu Gang still maintained vigilance, silently guessing the motives of the Jade Cauldron Sect.

"Brother Xu, let’s not think too much about it, this is an opportunity. The conditions they’re offering are not bad, you could even say they’re extravagant. If we build the city well, we might even help ourselves break through to the Heavenly Human Realm," Wang Fei encouraged Xu Gang, who was hesitant.

Xu Gang was moved by Wang Fei’s words and began to waver inside. They absolutely could not miss such an opportunity. Perhaps they could gain a vast number of Cultivation resources to help them improve their Cultivation.

"All right, we’ll go have a look tomorrow," Xu Gang finally made up his mind.

...

At the gates of Yunfei City, Xu Fei and Xu Tian were busy recruiting troops for the Jade Cauldron Sect and talent for the construction of the city.

Building the city required two types of talents, one being laborers and the other being architects proficient in formations and assembly.

Yet, most of the Martial Artists who came to sign up preferred to be laborers because the pay was better.

Xu Fei and Xu Tian were helpless about this situation but did not refuse because Cloud Sky City indeed needed manpower.

They felt these people were wasting their potential, as their Cultivation was more than enough to become soldiers for the new barracks.

But these people wanted to be laborers, and Xu Fei did not refuse them.

After all, Martial Artists with high Cultivation could move the city wall blocks faster, and some of these blocks were so large that several people couldn’t even move them.

Nevertheless, they had still not found a real architect.

The Second Soul Division of Lin Chen considered settling for less, letting the Formation Masters of the Jade Cauldron Sect take on the task of building the city walls.

Just when Xu Fei was about to give up searching for an architect, two young men suddenly appeared, expressing their desire to try their hand at the architectural design of Yunfei City.

"Did you say you’re architects?"

Xu Fei looked at them, frowning slightly.

In his memory, architects were usually older people, and these two young men claiming to be architects made him somewhat doubtful.

"Alright, since you claim to be architects, we’ll let you have a try."

"However, I want to make it clear, if you truly have the skills of an architect, the Jade Cauldron Sect will not mistreat you. But if you’re just making a fool of me, you’ll have to bear the consequences."

"Don’t worry, big brother, we won’t let you down!"

Seeing Xu Fei immediately agreeing to give them a chance, Xu Gang and Wang Fei were extremely excited.
