Over the following period, Lin Chuan used Yomotsu Hirasaka to send these cultivators separately to wherever they wished to go, allowing them to find their friends, family, and others to join Konoha and rapidly expand the city's scale.
"If we do this, we'll be competing with all the major cities for people," Bu Lianshi said.
"Talent is strength. It is an advantage. At a time like this, we need to compete with the major cities for people," Lin Chuan said without hesitation.
"Aren't you afraid your opponents will come knocking? I'd say Nine Heavens City will be here soon enough," Qin Lang said softly.
"What must come will come. But how could Konoha's development be stopped by a mere Nine Heavens City?" Lin Chuan said with a light chuckle.
Over the next three days, the number of cultivators in Konoha City continued to grow, quickly exceeding a thousand. More than sixty of them were in the Mahayana stage. Though they were still far from the requirements of a third-tier city, they had already reached a considerable scale. Lin Chuan was no longer the lone commander he had once been.
Lin Chuan was equally generous toward these people. So long as they were willing to accept the Caged Bird Curse Mark, he would give them pills. In any case, this was no difficult matter for the current Lin Chuan. He was simply using pills to win people over and strengthen Konoha as a whole.
Of course, once there were more people, there would inevitably be some with ulterior motives among them.
But Lin Chuan was not afraid.
Only he could produce the pills; no one else had any way to do so. Even if these people had infiltrated Konoha for the secret of the pills, they were destined to gain nothing.
