Soon, the two designers arrived.

These two were the designers who previously designed the Taoist temple, so they were very familiar with its structure.

There was no need for an on-site survey; simple blueprints could get it done.

"Mr. Chen, there’s no issue with the expansion, the main thing is what kind of buildings to add, that’s the key point," the designer asked after reviewing the design.

Because currently, the Taoist temple has almost every typical structure a temple should have, the designers really didn’t know what else to add.

Chen Yang did not immediately answer this question but instead contemplated it seriously.

Because this Taoist temple is not an ordinary one, future development must be considered.

Not only does the Chou Alliance need to expand its strength, but also because Liu the Taoist will establish the Red Cloud Taoist Sect.

Therefore, there is already plenty of architecture involved.

Now that the second expansion has started, it might as well be done in one go.

After careful consideration, Chen Yang finally decided to expand the Taoist temple three times its size!

It would turn from a small temple on a hill into a large temple encompassing the entire hill.

The perimeter would also have a wall constructed to extend the entire hill, forming a city-like format.

The current main hall would become the main hall of this "city."

After Chen Yang expressed his requirements, the designers quickly began the external design. In just a short while, a magnificent Taoist temple appeared on paper.

The architectural style and grand momentum, although not yet built, could already be truly felt.

"Let’s do it this way, very good."

Chen Yang nodded with satisfaction, very pleased with the external structure.

"Alright, we will proceed with the internal design next, Mr. Chen. We will design all the grand halls you mentioned; you can review them later," the two designers said.

"Okay, thank you for the trouble," Chen Yang nodded.

"No trouble, it’s our duty."

The designer smiled politely, taking the drawings to a quiet desk in the office to work on the design.

Internal design is different from external design.

The exterior just needs a rough outline drawn, whereas internal design involves many sections and requires design in many areas, which is very tedious and needs a lot of time.

Tonight, they probably won’t get any sleep; all their efforts will be focused on the design.

"Chen Yang, it’s getting late. You should go take care of your own matters. I’ll look after the design drawings and send them to you as soon as they’re ready. You don’t have to worry about it here," Li Han suggested, knowing Chen Yang still had things to do.

And indeed it was so.

The time was almost up; there wasn’t much time left until the scheduled transfer.

"Okay, we’ll head out then," Chen Yang didn’t say much, nodded, and left the office with Ao Min, taking the elevator downstairs.

Downstairs, Chen Tianmin, Qiu Hongguang, and others had already organized all the members of the Chou Alliance, ready to move out.

After a day of rest, everyone looked much better in terms of spirit.

The bloodstains and torn clothes were replaced.

They specifically changed into the Taoist robes Ao Min had brought back from the Green Cloud Taoist Temple.

Now it looked like a group of Taoists attending an event.

"Yang Zi, everything is ready, we can set off at any time," Chen Tianmin said as soon as he saw Chen Yang and Ao Min come down.

Observing that everyone’s spirit was good, and the severely injured members had recovered enough to take some hardship, Chen Yang nodded: "Alright, let’s get going. I’ve arranged vehicles at the back door; everyone, please be cautious and try not to attract attention."

In the afternoon, Chen Yang called Wu Kexin, asking her to dispatch two reliable bus drivers from the village to wait at the back door of Lintianxia.

The purpose was to transport Chou Alliance members to Liuhe Village.

"Got it," everyone replied in unison.

Then they departed in batches, taking the elevator to the back door to board the buses.

With over forty people, one bus was too crowded, so they split between two buses.

Once everyone was on board, they set off, secretly heading for Liuhe Village overnight.

On the way, everyone kept the curtains drawn, almost ensuring no one noticed them.

The journey from the county to Liuhe Village took about half an hour.

At ten in the evening, Liuhe Village was neither bustling nor quiet.

But this was better, because with people around, few noticed the two busloads of people entering Liuhe Village.

Upon arriving at the village, they got off collectively.

Before coming, Chen Yang had prepared, temporarily accommodating everyone at a hotel not far from his home.

The hotel was owned by Wang Jingman; a simple greeting was sufficient.

Since they knew guests would be arriving, the hotel staff were well-prepared.

All rooms were ready.

Within ten minutes of getting off the buses, everyone was settled in.

Once all members were settled, the Chou Alliance leaders accompanied Chen Yang on a walk around the village.

Knowing they would spend a long time here in the future, it was natural to become familiar in advance.

Upon leaving the hotel, Qiu Hongguang, He Xiran, Pei Yong, and others were astonished!

They were all in the Qi Cultivation Realm and could easily sense the abundant spiritual energy in Liuhe Village.

It was several times that of the outside.

"With such abundant spiritual energy, it’s truly a blessed place! It’s no less than the fortuitous lands of some major forces," Qiu Hongguang exclaimed.

"Uncle Chen, your home is in such a great location, no wonder you’re so powerful," He Xiran also remarked with a smile.

Then she looked at Chen Yang and added, "And you too."

Chen Yang was indeed impressive, and they all admired him.

Young yet possessing the power of the Spirit Gathering Realm and having two strong Spirit Gatherers by his side.

This kind of strength was enough to dominate the entire cultivation world.

Chen Yang smiled, without speaking.

Immediately, he took them to visit the Taoist temple.

Explaining that this would be their Chou Alliance’s temporary base for the future.

When the temple expansion was complete, they would all move in to cultivate intensively.

After viewing the temple, Qiu Hongguang nodded repeatedly, visibly moved.

He had thought Liuhe Village would be good, but never this good.

A blessed place, with a secretive location.

The most important thing was the possibility of interacting with the outside world.

Not to mention their current situation with the Chou Alliance, even in good condition, Liuhe Village was an excellent place for them.

"Young friend Chen Yang, we are sincerely thankful. Your great kindness to our Chou Alliance is unforgettable!" Qiu Hongguang said, looking at Chen Yang with profound gratitude.

These were words he had longed to express, but had found no opportunity.

"Elder Qiu, there’s no need to be so formal. You are family of my Second Uncle, and naturally my family as well. Besides, we all have a deep vendetta against the Blood Bat Hall, so there’s no need for such courtesy," Chen Yang replied with a smile.

These words warmed the hearts of Qiu Hongguang, He Xiran, Pei Yong, and others. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Brother Chen Yang, it’s considered inappropriate to express thanks for such a great favor, but I, Pei Yong, am not good with words, so just one thing: I will surely repay this kindness in the future!" Pei Yong, unpolished and straightforward, spoke with heartfelt sincerity.

"Alright, Yang Zi is not an outsider, so there’s truly no need for excessive courtesy. In the future, we need to plan well to ensure our Chou Alliance settles and thrives here," Chen Tianmin also spoke at this time.
