The area near the portal had already become a construction site. So Su Han directly went to the place where Ye Fan and the others were cultivating. Accompanying Su Han were Zi Han and Zhou Xiaoyue.
Su Han asked, "How are you all doing? Have you made any progress in your cultivation?"
Ye Fan and the others shook their heads, "No. We haven't even felt any spiritual energy yet. What's going on?"
Lin Dong immediately asked, "Right, Deputy Minister Su Han, how did you sense spiritual energy yesterday? When I tried to sense it, I only felt demonic energy. But this demonic energy can't be used for cultivation."
Su Han thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I forgot to tell you yesterday. The reason I sensed spiritual energy yesterday was mainly by first suppressing the demonic energy. That is, forgetting about the demonic energy. This is how I did it..."
Then, Su Han explained in detail how he managed to suppress the demonic energy.
After the explanation, Su Han said, "Try to follow this method."
Ye Fan and the others nodded, and then began to sense the demonic energy according to Su Han's method.
Soon, after an hour, Ye Fan was the first to sense the spiritual energy. Then, after another ten minutes, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and He Guizang also sensed the spiritual energy.
Zhou Xiaoyue and Zi Han, who had been listening from the side, also understood the trick and found a place to start cultivating the "Qi Refining True Scripture."
In the cultivation of these "Qi Refining True Scriptures," everyone first sensed spiritual energy and then guided it into their bodies.
With Su Han's explanation, Zi Han and Zhou Xiaoyue also understood the trick and found a safe place to begin their cultivation.
While they were cultivating, Su Han began to wander around.
The large machinery used for construction around the portal all used hover engines. With the help of the hover engines, these machines had extremely high mobility. This mobility allowed the hover machinery to work at a faster pace.
The base being built by Long Guo here was still primarily an underground base. Of course, there would also be corresponding above-ground structures. The above-ground buildings were designed to be in the style of pavilions and towers, similar to the architecture of this world. Of course, these pavilions and towers were built in an ancient style.
The construction style was underground first. Long Guo now had the technological support of several worlds, so construction speed was very fast.
The underground structures were not being built by Long Guo's construction engineering corps. After the underground base was completed, it would be handed over to ordinary large construction companies. After all, the surface part did not require the purely military nature of the underground.
Based on the current supplies, the building materials transported today were sufficient. Other personnel would be transported over tomorrow.
...
At this time, in the southern region of Yang'an Commandery, there was also a cultivation sect. This sect was the Clear Water Sect. The strength of the Clear Water Sect was comparable to that of the Clear Wind Sect. The Clear Water Sect was located beside a lake covering an area of several square kilometers.
In the Clear Water Sect, the Sect Master of the Clear Water Sect was sitting in a hall, listening to the report from a disciple sent to gather information.
The Clear Water Sect Master asked, "What about the incident of the Young Sect Master of the Clear Wind Sect being killed last time? Have those Clear Wind Sect people found the killer? The Clear Wind Sect wouldn't think we were the culprits, would they!"
The ordinary disciples sent out by the Clear Water Sect to gather information were not very fast. Therefore, it was natural for them to take a long time to travel hundreds of kilometers back and forth.
"Sect Master, I was just about to report this. The Clear Wind Sect had a conflict with a mysterious group in Jihu County. In the battle, the Sect Master of the Clear Wind Sect was also killed."
"Hmm, the Clear Wind Sect Master was killed!" The Clear Water Sect Master immediately reacted, "What? What did you say? The Clear Wind Sect Master was killed? How is that possible?"
"Sect Master, it really happened. The Clear Wind Sect Master is truly dead."
The Clear Water Sect Master pondered for a moment. He knew that the Clear Wind Sect Master was at the Foundation Establishment stage. Who else in Yang'an Commandery would kill him? Someone who could easily kill the Clear Wind Sect Master would be at the Golden Core stage. And there were only two Golden Core stage cultivators in Yang'an Commandery. One of them was the Grand Elder of the Clear Wind Sect. It was unlikely that the Grand Elder would kill his own sect master, who was also his son. The other was the Grand Elder of their own Clear Water Sect. However, the Grand Elder of the Clear Water Sect had not moved at all, so it was impossible.
Therefore, the Clear Water Sect Master immediately thought of that group that had come from outside Yang'an Commandery.
The Clear Water Sect Master quickly said, "It seems that it will be a troubled time ahead. The Grand Elder of the Clear Wind Sect will take action. Go and investigate the situation of the Clear Wind Sect's Grand Elder. The Clear Wind Sect's Grand Elder will be fighting with certain people next."
After the Clear Water Sect Master gave his orders, he thought to himself: It seems I need to have a good talk with our Clear Water Sect's Grand Elder.
Just as the Clear Water Sect Master was about to leave the hall, urgent voices were heard from outside the hall.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, something big has happened! Something big has happened!"
A messenger disciple of the Clear Water Sect rushed into the hall in a hurry.
The Clear Water Sect Master said, "As a disciple of the Clear Water Sect, what kind of behavior is this to be in such a hurry? Stand there for a moment and calm down. Give him a cup of water to drink."
Another disciple of the Clear Water Sect brought over a cup of water.
The messenger disciple of the Clear Water Sect quickly drank the water and calmed himself down.
After about five minutes, the Clear Water Sect Master, seeing that the messenger disciple had calmed down, said with satisfaction, "Good, this is how a disciple of our Clear Water Sect should be. Our disciples should remain calm even in the face of major events. Now, tell me, what is it?"
The messenger disciple of the Clear Wind Sect said, "Sect Master, the main force of the Clear Wind Sect was ambushed. They suffered heavy casualties. Even the Grand Elder of the Clear Wind Sect was killed."
Upon hearing this news, the Clear Water Sect Master jumped up, "What? You are telling me such important news now?"
The messenger disciple of the Clear Wind Sect said indignantly, "Didn't you tell me to calm down first?"
The Clear Water Sect Master ignored the messenger disciple's plea and said, "Quickly tell me the detailed situation, every single bit. What exactly happened? What caused the Grand Elder of the Clear Wind Sect to be killed!"
