CHAPTER 723: UNVEILING THE WAN KUI SECRET REALM

Regarding Xu Lun's mention of the need to stockpile resource

Regarding Xu Lun's mention of the need to stockpile resources, Wang Hong naturally had similar thoughts.

"I've come across quite a few treasures during my recent exploration. You can take them to replace what we currently need," Wang Hong said.

With that, Wang Hong took out a dozen or so storage magic weapons and opened them in public, pouring out all the items onto the square in front of the Great Hall.

Instantly, a powerful wave of spiritual energy spread out, permeating throughout King's City. The residents of King's City stopped in their tracks and looked towards the direction of the Royal Palace.

Inside the Royal Palace, beams of light shot up into the sky, various lights competing with each other, even enriching the spiritual qi of the entire King's City.

"Ah! Has some incredible treasure been born?"

"Judging by this aura, it seems that multiple treasures have appeared simultaneously, hence this splendid phenomenon."

"How many natural treasures must there be to trigger such a magnificent sight!"

As the citizens of King's City discussed fervently, Xu Lun and others were also awestruck by this pile of treasures.

In the secret realm, Wang Hong had only killed a dozen opponents, accumulating these cultivator's lifelong gains among the storage magic weapons.

After selecting some useful treasures for himself, he handed over the rest to Xu Lun.

He instructed Xu Lun to keep what could be used and sell what couldn't be used, exchanging them for useful resources.

Of course, Wang Hong also mixed in some high-tier spiritual herbs produced in his space, including Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herbs. He even placed two of them inside.

He had many Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herbs in his space, far more than he could use himself. It was a good opportunity to mix them in with these spoils of war for his subordinates to use.

At this moment, all of his subordinates were shining with excitement. They felt like His Majesty didn't go on an adventure but rather raided several major sects.

Xu Lun summoned dozens of subordinates to be responsible for counting various treasures, organizing and registering them.

"There are even Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herbs here!"

When a sealed wooden box was opened, a strong spiritual energy wave spread out, catching everyone's attention.

Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herbs held a high position in the Cultivation World, their effectiveness not inferior to some common immortal medicines.

Back then, Wang Hong broke through to the Soul Transformation stage without the assistance of Soul Transformation spiritual herbs, relying solely on Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herbs, which was a good example.

Throughout the Cultivation World, only a few powerful forces possessed a few of them.

Finding a Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herb among a pile of treasures attracted everyone's attention, and they all approached to observe.

After all, for ordinary cultivators, just getting a glimpse of a Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herb would be enough to boast about for a lifetime, let alone consuming it.

At this moment, Wang Hong also joined in the excitement, crowding around to watch, showing a keen interest.

"Your Majesty! This Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herb is too precious. It's better to keep it for Your Majesty's own use!" Xu Lun's hands trembled as he held the Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herb. Such a precious spiritual herb naturally should be kept for the monarch's enjoyment.

"I don't need it now. Let's store it in the national treasury. Anyone who needs it can exchange it for enough merit," Wang Hong said with a smile. It was a joke; he had intentionally mixed it in. If he took it back now, what would that imply?

Upon hearing this, everyone was excited, eager to work harder and exchange enough merit to obtain this Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herb.

The organization and classification of these treasures will take at least a day or two. Leave two people here to supervise, Wang Hong and the others will leave.

There are still many things to discuss and arrange later.

"Zhang Chunfeng, you've been stationed at the Wan Kui secret realm all this time. Has everything been peaceful over there recently?"

Zhang Chunfeng had been stationed at the Wan Kui secret realm all along. He had recently failed in his attempt to break through to the Soul Transformation stage and had just come out of seclusion not long ago.

Because the matters that needed discussion this time also included the Wan Kui secret realm, he was summoned back.

"In recent years, no one has had any intentions of attacking the secret realm anymore."

When news of the Wan Kui secret realm first spread, various forces were stirred up and wanted to seize it.

With the Great Chu Immortal Nation winning two major battles in succession, demonstrating their strength fully, many forces gave up their initial intentions.

Especially with Wang Hong's promotion to the Soul Transformation stage, the Great Chu Immortal Nation had become a first-class power, coupled with the recognition of the number one sect in the Fengwu Continent, causing various forces to completely abandon their unrealistic fantasies.

With the efforts of Zhang Chunfeng and others over the years, various defensive measures had become more perfect, making it even more difficult for outsiders to attack.

"Good! Since things have settled down now, let's prepare to fully develop the Wan Kui secret realm."

This was a plan that Wang Hong had long wanted to implement. The Wan Kui secret realm was much larger than Qizhou Island, and the spiritual qi there was extremely dense.

If the Wan Kui secret realm were to be developed in the same way as Qizhou Island, decades or even hundreds of years later, the Great Chu Immortal Nation would have another huge treasure trove.

Take Qizhou Island, for example. Recently, when the mutated spiritual grains matured on the island, apart from keeping some for personal use, the rest were traded, and the resources obtained were enough to support an army of fifty thousand to fight a major battle.

The mutated spiritual grain was just one of the many spiritual objects planted on the island, besides various high-tier spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits.

This was still when many of the high-tier spiritual herbs on the island had not yet matured. When these high-tier spiritual herbs matured, the harvest would be even greater.

With more and more high-tier cultivators in the future of the Great Chu Immortal Nation and possible future turmoil, it was necessary to prepare a large amount of resources in advance.

"You can go back and discuss the specific development plan with Yin Ze and others, inspect the Wan Kui secret realm together, and then discuss and formulate it."

"Your Majesty, what about the manpower for development?"

The Great Chu Immortal Nation had always implemented an elite strategy, which meant that the population was relatively small.

Considering the area of the Wan Kui secret realm, it was not known how many manpower would be needed for full development.

"The batch of newcomers recruited some time ago can be put to use now. You can select tens of thousands of them and take them to the Wan Kui secret realm.

As for the puppets used for work, you can apply to the Ministry of Works yourself."

When the population development plan was formulated earlier, the newborn population of the Great Chu Immortal Nation had increased somewhat, but these newborns were still children and were still undergoing unified education.

It was the teenagers recruited by Xu Lun and Liu Changsheng from outside who, after years of education and training, had already recognized the Great Chu Immortal Nation. Most of them had reached at least the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation.

Now, letting them participate in collective labor could also be considered a form of education.

After all, with their strength, managing puppets and cultivating spirit fields should pose no problem.

As for the military, these people were still far from it. If they were forced onto the battlefield now, they would probably only end up as cannon fodder.

Even the weakest among the Great Chu Immortal Nation's military had at least Foundation Building strength.

After arranging the development of the Wan Kui secret realm, Wang Hong ordered Chen Xiaofeng to have the Ministry of Works fully produce various strategic materials in the coming time.
