Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

When Zhang He came out of the training room this time, he realized that after 20 years of seclusion, Ningjing County had completely changed, as if he had entered another world.

Ningjing County is now densely populated, and all the low-rise and dilapidated houses have been given a new look.

The most obvious difference is the residents in the city. Except for the aristocracy of the Zhou Dynasty, most of the people are in ragged clothes, with yellow faces and thin muscles.

Nowadays, almost everyone in the city can wear decent clothes, has a rosy complexion and fleshy face, and is obviously well fed and clothed.

The mental state of everyone was full of energy and high morale, which was completely different from the numbness and indifference before.

Outside the city walls of the county town, there were already many houses.

Some of these buildings are residences for newly migrated workers, while others are factories and workshops.

Since the railway from Ningjing County to Mingcheng was opened, the goods produced in Ningjing County can be easily sold to Mingcheng, and then some small traders in Mingcheng will sell these goods to various places.

Some early workers and small traders in Ningjing County saw business opportunities.

Some people collect specialties from around Ningjing County at low prices and transport them by fire to Mingcheng for sale.

There are also many quick-thinking people who have taken advantage of Ningjing County's high quality and low price of steel to set up some small processing plants.

They can't grab big orders, but they can process some civilian equipment for sale.

Although these small workshops are not as large as steel foundries, for ordinary civilians, they are opportunities for them to rise, which is enough for them to earn a lot of wealth from them.

The rapid economic development of Ningjing County has brought tangible benefits to most people, and their living conditions have been qualitatively improved.

Zhang He inspected the industrial park. The place had changed drastically. Now there are many factories and black smoke billowing, and it looks like the emissions exceed the standard.

Now tens of thousands of people have gathered here, and the scale is similar to that of some small counties.

Everything here relies on an iron mine. When Zhang He walked to the mine, he found many strange puppets digging for ore, which were then transported to the steelmaking plant by zombie trucks.

There are also many golems in steel mills and foundries who are responsible for some heavy or dangerous work.

Zhang He went to the industrial park for inspection and did not intend to alert anyone, but he was still discovered by the Shadow Pavilion's agents who were deployed here.

He didn't care, he simply asked someone to accompany him to check around.

It turns out that in the past ten years, a puppet factory has been built in the industrial park, and puppets are being mass-produced on assembly lines.

These puppets were not used for combat, but for industrial work.

The puppets he had seen in the mines and steel mills before were all produced by puppet factories.

The cost of these puppets is very low. Each one has a jade pillar engraved with runes in its body, which serves as the puppet's power source.

This jade pillar can store spiritual energy repeatedly, saving a lot of cost compared to using spiritual stones.

At present, the puppets produced in Ningjing County have been exported to various countries, priced at 50 spirit stones each, and the supply exceeds demand.

When Zhang He walked to an inconspicuous house behind the puppet factory, he saw Hu Ya coming out from inside.

After all these years, Huya has finally been promoted to the golden elixir stage. Judging from his current focus on refining weapons, he probably made it with elixirs.

Anyway, he doesn't need to fight with others. The promotion to Jindan is purely for the purpose of longer lifespan, and the enhancement of spiritual consciousness and mana is beneficial to refining weapons.

"Sir! This is a confidential place now. No one can enter or exit without a pass. You only recognize the pass but not the person.

The guards here are all newcomers, and I'm afraid they don't know you. "

Hu Ya took out a token and waved it in front of the guard at the door before leading Zhang He in.

Inside the house is a hall, divided into many areas.

"Sir! This is currently our new weapons research and testing base, and many weapons that have not been shown to anyone are hidden here."

Hu Ya led Zhang He forward slowly and kept introducing Zhang He.

"Young master, you see, this is our latest type of spiritual tool, which can be controlled by ordinary people. Its power surpasses that of the late stage of Qi training, and is very close to the blow of a monk in the early stage of foundation building."

Huya picked up an arm-thick object and introduced it to Zhang He.

Zhang He took it and looked at it carefully, "How far is the attack distance? How many spirit stones do you need to consume each time?"

"The attack range is 30 feet, and each attack consumes 30 spiritual stones."

Zhang He nodded. This distance can already pose a threat to the foundation-building monks, but the cost is a bit high. 30 spiritual stones can buy an ordinary low-grade magic weapon.

The biggest advantage of spiritual tools is that ordinary people can use them. The last time he fought against demons in Lu State, Zhang He equipped tens of thousands of militiamen with spiritual tools in hand and made many military exploits on the battlefield.

A foundation-building monk requires tens or hundreds of years of training, while militiamen are just tenants who practice during their spare time.

The cost gap between the two is huge.

After putting down the spiritual tool, the two continued to move forward. There was a pile of wooden boxes in front of them. The lid of one of the boxes was opened, revealing a set of folded black robes inside.

"Sir, this is the invisibility robe that we refined ourselves."

Huya picked up a folded black robe, shook it open, put it on his body, and immediately disappeared in front of Zhang He.

"Huh!"

Zhang He's consciousness was fully activated, and after searching for a moment, he discovered that Huya was hiding behind him, with a proud look on his face, and he also grabbed a handful of mud in his hand, trying to rub it on himself.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pretending not to notice it, and still searching carefully on the spot. When the tiger's fang was about to get close to him, he suddenly turned around and shot it with one hand.

"Snapped!"

The mud in Huya's hand slapped his face firmly.

"Pooh!"

Huya spit out the mud in his mouth and stretched out his hand to wipe his face.

"Sir, how did you find out?"

"We have tried with more than ten Jindan monks, but none of them can see through the traces of the invisibility robe."

I felt a little disappointed when I found that the invisibility robe I had carefully crafted was easily seen through by Zhang He.

“As long as your spiritual consciousness is strong enough, everything you can discover is hidden.

This set of robes is not bad. There is no problem in hiding it from the Golden elixir monks. If the Nascent Soul monks don't deliberately use their spiritual sense to search, they may get away with it. "

Although his consciousness can see through the invisible robe, if he hadn't deliberately searched for it in this area, he might have ignored it.

After all, no one will fully open their consciousness unless they are on alert.

Just like human eyes can see clearly a hundred meters away, but no one will stare that far away all day long.

"How many finished products are there for these robes?"

"The refining materials for this robe are relatively rare, and only 25 sets have been refined so far."

"You give 20 sets to Shadow Pavilion, they need this the most.

I'll take one set and put the rest here first. "

Zhang He immediately decided on the distribution of these robes.

Next, Hu Ya introduced Zhang He to a psychic cannon that was being studied, as well as some other magic weapons.

Since joining the Sun-Moon Alliance and learning the inheritance of the Sun-Moon Alliance, the level of everyone in the institute has greatly improved, and they can produce a lot more things.

Moreover, it can also make improvements based on the original technology and surpass its predecessors in some aspects.

After Zhang He inspected the industrial park, he returned to the city.

I found Meng Tiantian and after asking, I found that she had already made fertilizer for Jie Lingtian to replenish his spiritual energy.

In fact, this is not difficult at all. It is mainly based on spiritual stone powder and is refined with some other materials, which can allow the spiritual energy to be released evenly and slowly in the spiritual field.

Immediately, Gu Liangqi was summoned and handed over the new variety of Linggu to him for trial planting.

After Zhang He came out of the customs, he rested in Ningjing County for a few days and dealt with some backlogged affairs. Then he rode on Chiyan and flew to Mingcheng.

After these years of training, Chi Yan's strength has now reached the middle stage of Golden Core, and his body size has also grown a lot. Now his wingspan is two to three feet, and he has to admit the importance of qualifications.

Since he was promoted to the fourth elder of the Sun-Moon Alliance, he has not had the chance to take over the helm.

The general helm of the Sun-Moon Alliance is in a tall building in the center of Ming City.

When he rode Chiyan and stopped in front of the main helm, the three elders who sensed his arrival came out to greet him.

"Congratulations to the Fourth Elder of the Sun-Moon Alliance for successfully assuming office."

The three elders obviously treated Zhang He as the fourth elder very seriously.

"Thank you to the three great elders for your kindness. I feel really ashamed and undeserved! From now on, I can only dedicate myself to serving the Sun-Moon Alliance and do my best for the cause of the Sun-Moon Alliance."

Regardless of whether you believe it or not, you still need to speak loudly and forcefully in the scene.

After all, he is now a senior member of the Sun-Moon Alliance and must always set an example.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is well-deserved. Don't be too modest. Please come in!"

The three of them immediately welcomed Zhang He into the main helm.

"Zhang Daoyou, as the fourth elder of this alliance, we have built a mansion exclusively for you."

Elder Jiang was in front, pointing to a mansion not far away, and led Zhang He forward.

After getting closer, Zhang He saw the words "Fourth Elder's Mansion" hanging on the gate of this mansion, and there were two stone carvings of red birds standing on both sides of the gate.

He had been to the residences of the three elders before and knew that there were stone sculptures of the green dragon, white tiger and Xuanwu among the four divine beasts standing at their door.

The remaining Suzaku is not used yet and is just for Zhang He.

Several people walked into the mansion under the leadership of Elder Jiang. The concentration of spiritual energy in the mansion was obviously several levels stronger than outside.

There is a medium-sized spiritual vein underground in Ming City, and formations are used to lead four branches from the spiritual vein to the mansions of the four elders.

Zhang He took a deep breath and inhaled a stream of spiritual energy into his body. He suddenly felt comfortable all over. He felt that the spiritual energy here was several times stronger than that in his Ningjing County.

Elder Jiang led Zhang He to visit the layout of the mansion.

The mansion covers an area of ​​about five acres, including two acres of elixir garden, training room, weapon refining room, alchemy room and other facilities.

Even brand new furniture is fully prepared.

Elder Jiang handed a token into Zhang He's hand.

"This side is your identity token. In the future, you can use this token to command the Sun-Moon Alliance's branches."

"One more thing, you came at the right time this time.

In the poisonous fog swamp further south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, someone discovered ruins tens of thousands of years ago, which may contain a large amount of inheritance information.

There are already many forces rushing to the south. Our Sun-Moon Alliance family is weak, so naturally we cannot miss such an opportunity.

It was decided to send three elders forward, leaving one elder to guard the rear. "

Zhang He's heart moved, and he remembered what the Immortal Demon King said. Tens of thousands of years ago, a mass extinction occurred in the immortal civilization. Could this be the relics left before the extinction?

If so, it's worth investigating.
