"Please, go ahead." The King was a decisive man; he would not let his current faith wait too long.

"I would like to borrow a piece of wasteland in your country to develop into a small city," Nan Xuan said slowly, his hands clasped together.

Upon hearing this, the King's face blossomed into a smile; this was a deal with a hundred benefits and no drawbacks for him.

A developing city was the primary way to stimulate the surrounding economy, and he could fully trust the capabilities of the God of the Network.

"That is absolutely no problem. You aren't asking me for a favor; you are clearly bringing a blessing to my Bala Kingdom," the King replied excitedly.

"I wonder if you have a preferred location in mind?" the King asked the crucial question.

Nan Xuan used his Sixth Soul Skill and First Soul Skill to project a bird's-eye view map of the entire Bala Kingdom.

Seeing this, the King exclaimed at the wonder of it.

"I intend to choose this spot, slightly north of Suotuo City. The terrain there consists of high ridges, and the area below the mountain peak is lush with trees, which fits the design plan I have in mind," Nan Xuan said, pointing to a location on the map while looking at the King with a smile.

"Easy, easy. You go right ahead. If you lack construction personnel, I can help you solve that as well." The King had no objections to Nan Xuan's choice; if it were up to his own personal preference, he would have preferred it built in his capital.

"Hahaha, there is no need for you to worry about that, Your Majesty. I have my own construction crew. Since I am receiving your land, the appropriate compensation must be given. I will have someone discuss the details with you later," Nan Xuan said, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to the Bala King's enthusiasm.

"That works. In any case, you won't be short on money." The King did not refuse; just as he said, the other party would not be lacking in funds.

After chatting with the King for a while, the King personally issued a construction permit to Nan Xuan. As Nan Xuan left, he thought for a moment and imprinted a special pattern onto the King's martial soul—it was his own martial soul emblem.

That night, Nan Xuan returned to the hotel booked by Lan Yingying. The group opened a private room and handed the chosen location and construction permit to Niu Gao.

When Nan Xuan showed the design blueprints to everyone, their eyes widened. This design had never been seen on the continent before; Nan Xuan had broken new ground once again.

The small city on the mountain peak adopted a fusion of Eastern and Western architectural styles as its foundation. The walls were built with layers of blue-and-white technological metal, and two cyan wings were depicted as if ready to soar high.

From the foot of the mountain to the peak, the entire transit system utilized escalators, ensuring the surrounding trees would not be destroyed and preserving the atmosphere brought by nature.

"This... this design, I fear it will take a very long time to build. And these metal materials will be a significant expense," Niu Gao provided his assessment.

"Rest assured, you just need to follow the blueprints. I will have my own ways of handling the rest," Nan Xuan said with a knowing smile. Seeing the look in their eyes, he knew his blueprints were quite impressive.

"This building will be our base camp in the future. It can be considered a small city, though the city itself can only be built below the mountain peak."

Nan Xuan made a small plan for his future home. After all, the population of the Four Great Sects below was quite large, and it would only grow in the future. He did not want everyone living at the top, as it would appear too chaotic.

Regarding Nan Xuan's opinion, no one had any objections; they all agreed with this idea.

After everyone finished eating and drinking, they returned to their respective rooms, planning to head to the site to start work the next day.

In the hotel, inside Nan Xuan's room.

"Nan Xuan, your design is truly too imaginative. I've traveled the continent for so long and have never seen this type of thing," Liu Mumu said, lying on the bed with her feet kicked up, resting her chin on her left hand.

"Mumu, can you stop focusing on that all the time? It's rest time now. Why don't you learn from Yingying? She knows how to help me undress. Should it be your turn next?" Nan Xuan pointed to his pants and said, looking at Liu Mumu.

"Pfft, I don't want to. I have to suffer and work hard later, why don't you help me instead?" Liu Mumu looked at Nan Xuan and said, speechless.

A moment later, she realized her words had a slight problem.

"Fine, I'll help you undress later," Nan Xuan chuckled and pounced onto the bed.

Lan Yingying looked at these two troublemakers with some helplessness, but she felt that such days were very relaxing. With this man around, she didn't have to worry about anything; she just needed to look after their little home.

The next day, Nan Xuan and the others transported materials to the construction site.

"Brother Xuan, this project is quite massive. Look at those giant boulders and the massive rocky mountain at the peak; this is going to be very time-consuming," Yang Tian said, looking at the hundred-meter-high peak while pondering.

"My soul skills are all for single-target stacking attacks and the like; I can't take on this job," Chen Gao said, shrugging helplessly.

"Rest assured, Your Excellencies. We have mountain-breaking tools. Although it might take a bit more time, it is at least something we can use," Niu Gao said, feeling delighted inside.

Seeing that all the big shots were at a loss, Niu Gao felt it was time for his role to shine.

"It still comes down to your big brother here. Move aside a bit, lest you get hurt," Nan Xuan said calmly, opening his arms and pushing Niu Gao and Tai Tan back a little.

Lan Yingying covered her forehead in resignation, knowing this guy was going to show off again. Clearly, there was nothing to show off about here, yet he insisted on flaunting.

Nan Xuan didn't waste any more words; he summoned his martial soul, and nine soul rings appeared behind him.

"Two hundred-thousand-year soul rings!" Yang Wudi said in shock.

Yang Tian smiled calmly and said, "Basic operation. There will be more things that shock you in the future."

Nan Xuan had already begun to cast his soul skill.

"Saint Emperor Judgment." Following Nan Xuan's shout, the ninth soul ring behind him lit up instantly.

A deep blue halo appeared in the sky, and a giant shadow instantly pierced through the clouds, striking the rocky mountain directly.

After the giant shadow struck the mountain, everyone saw that it was a deep blue divine spear.

The rocky mountain split instantly, crumbling into boulders of various sizes.

"Brother Xuan, are you really an auxiliary-type soul master?" Chen Gao asked in surprise.

"I was before, but not anymore," Nan Xuan replied with a smile, the corners of his mouth curling up.

In truth, Nan Xuan had held back quite a bit with this move; otherwise, he feared the entire mountain would have shattered completely.

Chen Gao and the others felt a bit ashamed. If they hadn't spent so many years together and developed some immunity, they would have been just like those single-attribute clans, acting as if they had never seen the world.

"I have a sword that can move mountains, sever rivers, pluck stars, destroy cities, and open the heavens." Nan Xuan's chuunibyou energy exploded. A deep blue longsword appeared in his hand, and he swept it across the mountain peak.

Chen Gao and the others were left stunned by the scene; it was so damn cool that they all wished they could do the same.

Liu Mumu watched the display, a hint of admiration shining in her eyes.

What Nan Xuan had just used was one of his ninth soul ring skills, though it was weakened by many times.

"Ahem, everyone, time to get to work. Pick your jaws up off the floor." Nan Xuan looked at the four single-attribute clans, who were still wearing expressions of utter astonishment, and gave a light cough.

"Oh, right, right. Get to work."

Spurred into action, the group finally snapped out of it. The special effects of that soul skill—no, the sheer power of it—were truly impressive. In any case, they had never seen anything so formidable before.

Yang Wudi arranged for his men to set up tents; they would be spending their days here until this project was completely finished.

"Niu Gao, I'm leaving this mission to you. If you run short on materials, contact me through the Network World. You're in charge of everything else, and I'll transfer the funds to your Network Card." Nan Xuan patted Niu Gao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will definitely complete the mission." Niu Gao grinned and thumped his chest in response.

For an Infrastructure Maniac, a project of this scale was the pursuit of a lifetime.

After giving his instructions, Nan Xuan left with Chen Gao and the others; they had no intention of staying here waiting for the project to conclude.

"Brother Xuan, where are we heading next?" Yang Tian asked.

Nan Xuan pondered for a moment. Instead of answering Yang Tian's question immediately, he looked at Chen Gao and asked with a smile, "Chen Gao, do you remember the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect we met in Martial Soul City?"

"How could I forget? That guy even competed with you in stone gambling." Upon hearing Nan Xuan mention it, Chen Gao recalled the memory instantly.

"So, we're going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to have some fun." Nan Xuan looked at Yang Tian and answered his previous question.

"What stone gambling? How come we didn't know about this?" Yang Tian asked, puzzled.

"It happened over a decade ago. You guys were off obtaining soul rings at the time, so you didn't know," Chen Gao replied casually.

"Fair enough." Yang Tian could only shrug his hands helplessly.

The group, accompanied by their wives, drove their carriages toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

A few days later, Seven Treasure City.

"This Seven Treasure City truly lives up to its reputation as the wealthiest city." Shi Qiaoyue looked at the colorful gems before her and sighed in admiration.

"I just wonder if there are any local delicacies worth learning to make." Compared to admiring gems, Aili preferred learning the art of cooking.

Aini agreed with her sister's sentiment and nodded with a smile.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go! I've been here before; I'll take you all for a stroll." Liu Mumu jumped straight off the carriage and called out to the other sisters.

The sisters were not the type to dawdle; they set off immediately. Lan Yingying was a bit reluctant, but under the persistent tugging of her sisters, she eventually gave up her resistance.

"Alright, now that all our wives have gone off, what do you guys want to do?" Yang Tian asked with a laugh.

"Hey, hold on a second. I just want to ask one question: Brother Xuan, does Sister Dong know about the two sisters-in-law by your side?" Chen Gao asked with a sly grin.

Nan Xuan chuckled and replied nonchalantly, "Of course she knows. Did you think I was afraid of her? Don't mistake me for you lot."

"Stop spouting such blatant truths! We love our wives very much; we aren't unfaithful," Yang Tian immediately retorted to Nan Xuan's mockery.

"My relationship with Aini is very good and very sincere," Yang Fei said with a look of longing.

"I—"

Just as Chen Gao was about to speak, he was interrupted by Nan Xuan.

"Don't even start. You were the biggest playboy when we were kids. I can believe Yang Fei, but you two? Heh." Nan Xuan watched these brothers he'd grown up with try to put on an act in front of him; did they really think his soul skills were just for show?

"Brother Xuan, did you just use your soul skill to scan us?" Yang Tian asked with a darkened face.

Nan Xuan didn't say a word.

"Damn it, we're brothers! You actually peeked? That's going too far," Yang Tian said, feeling speechless.

"I didn't, don't slander me. I was just thinking about something, don't overthink it."

"Look, they've all gone shopping. How about we head straight to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a visit? We can spar with Sword Douluo while we're at it." Nan Xuan immediately changed the subject. He didn't want to take the blame; he had only taken a tiny peek, nothing more.
