Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 953: Chapter 476: Hunyuan Valley After One Year, 100,000 Residents_2

”The demand for population is still very high, so we need all kinds of refugees.”

”But if the population reaches its limit, I’m afraid the requirements will increase.”

”At that time, joining us at Hunyuan Valley might not be so easy.”

Lord Xiong said bluntly.

A large camp established for only one year?!

Hearing this, Yuan Gang and the others were ecstatic, knowing that this was definitely a rare opportunity.

Generally, large camps have been established for decades or even hundreds of years, and the population has long reached the capacity limit, making it naturally difficult for outsiders to join.

But a newly established camp would have a great demand for population.

So it’s also their luck as refugees to happen to encounter a big shot who built a new large camp.

”Lord Xiong, may I ask how many people are currently at Hunyuan Valley?”

Someone asked curiously.

”I’m not sure about the specific number, but there should be at least 100,000 people.”

Lord Xiong thought for a moment, then replied.

A population of 100,000?!

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp. This is definitely a town-level camp, almost reaching the population limit of a small town, which is extremely rare in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range.

After all, villages with only 10,000 people are common large camps.

And it was only established a year ago; it’s truly exaggerated.

”Can this valley support 100,000 people?”

Many couldn’t help but ask.

”There’s no issue with that.”

”See that place over there?”

”It’s planted with a large number of Ice Crystal Fruit Trees, a full 100,000 trees.”

”And we’ve improved them from maturing once a year to twice.”

”Additionally, the yield has increased several times over.”

”These Spirit Fruits from the Ice Crystal Fruit Trees alone are enough to satisfy the appetite of hundreds of thousands.”

”A mere 100,000 people are nothing.”

Lord Xiong chuckled, pointing to the plantation area not far away.

”This!”

The crowd looked closely and indeed saw the dense Ice Crystal Fruit Trees in the distance.

The Ice Crystal Fruit Trees, which are extremely rare in the outside world, were now everywhere.

And on the branches grew Spirit Fruits that were not yet mature, hanging in abundance.

Once mature, these trees would likely be laden with Spirit Fruits, yielding a great harvest.

”Unbelievable, to plant so many Ice Crystal Fruit Trees.”

”Where exactly did Hunyuan Valley get these trees from?”

”Yes, it’s incredibly difficult for us to find Ice Crystal Fruit Trees, yet they’re everywhere here.”

”It’s so exaggerated. If they’re planted in the valley, we wouldn’t need to risk going outside to pick Ice Crystal Fruits, increasing safety manifold.”

”Paradise, this truly is a paradise.”

”How did they manage this? It’s incredible.”

Yuan Gang and others were ecstatic.

Because for a camp, the most important things are safety and food.

If safety and food can be guaranteed, then they have no other desires.

It’s estimated that any refugee hearing this news would flock madly to join Hunyuan Valley.

They had seen many human camps, but none like Hunyuan Valley, which was unprecedented.

”How it’s done is the secret of Hunyuan Valley.”

”Only after you fully join Hunyuan Valley will you know these matters.”

Lord Xiong said calmly.

He naturally wouldn’t tell these refugees that the reason Hunyuan Valley could achieve these things was due to the leader, Lord Jiang.

Thanks to Lord Jiang’s power, they found a large number of Ice Crystal Fruit Trees.

Additionally, a large amount of Spiritual Soil appeared, providing nutrition for these Spiritual Trees.

It is said that with enough nutrition, Ice Crystal Fruit Trees can even mature four times a year.

At that time, the amount of food can be doubled.

”Yes, Lord Xiong.”

Yuan Gang and the others nodded, naturally not foolishly prying further.

This was a secret of Hunyuan Valley, clearly not something for ordinary people to know.

Angering them might get them expelled by the other party.

”After joining Hunyuan Valley, you will be allocated a house per family.”

”If single, you will need to share with others.”

”Only by marrying and having children can you get a new house.”

”Of course, you need to make enough contributions to truly get these houses.”

”If your Contribution Points are insufficient, you will be driven out of Hunyuan Valley.”

”As Hunyuan Valley does not support idlers.”

Lord Xiong began explaining the rules of Hunyuan Valley.

Obviously, Hunyuan Valley does not welcome those who are cunning and lazy. If one cannot contribute to Hunyuan Valley, they will have to leave.

”Lord Xiong, can every family get a house?”

”Is Hunyuan Valley that big?”

Yuan Gang asked curiously.

He knew that Hunyuan Valley housed over 100,000 people, which meant tens of thousands of houses.

No matter how big the valley is, it can’t possibly accommodate that many houses, right?

”Haha, see those high-rise buildings?”

”Each one has at least dozens, if not a hundred floors.”

”You could say each building holds hundreds of apartments.”

”This is our Hunyuan Valley’s unique architecture.”

”Although the valley’s area isn’t too large, by building upward, we can construct many houses, sufficient for a large population.”

”Also, this maximizes building area efficiency.”

”We need most of the land for planting Ice Crystal Fruit Trees and other Spirit Medicines.”

Lord Xiong smiled slightly, pointing at the buildings ahead.

Looking in the direction, Yuan Gang and others were amazed.

What they saw were massive skyscrapers made of steel and cement, standing on the land like steel beasts.

The buildings were at least hundreds of meters high, like small hills.

Many villagers lived in these skyscrapers.

Each was sufficient to house over a thousand people.

So, building 100 of them could accommodate 100,000 people.

One could say Hunyuan Valley’s buildings maximized land efficiency.

They had never seen such architecture in any other camp.

In other human camps, there were wooden houses and stone houses, with one house per family.

However, this resulted in low land use efficiency.

Making it impossible for a camp to build too many houses.

”An incredible building.”

”Choosing to expand upwards? It indeed can easily house 100,000 people.”

”Not just 100,000; even a million could be easily accommodated.”

”If Hunyuan Valley is willing, it might really develop into a city with a million people.”

”It’s too exaggerated; some cities only have a population of a million.”

”Ha, don’t those cities realize they can’t house millions? If they wanted, they could easily support so many. Unfortunately, they worry too much about population reducing Spiritual Qi. So once the population reaches the limit, they expel surplus people to build camps elsewhere.”

”Exactly. Our ancestors were actually expelled from those large cities, failing to meet talent standards, and migrated to other places, building camps to stay warm together. That’s the origin of many human camps.”

”No matter what, we’re lucky as refugees to encounter a newly built large camp. We are the first pioneers of this camp, at least not worried about being expelled shortly.”

Yuan Gang and others were excited.

They knew they had encountered a tremendous opportunity.

It felt like joining a newly developing human city.

If they worked hard, they might be able to establish themselves in this city, laying foundations for the next generation.
