In a deep mountain in the territory of Shanyang Kingdom of the Nandou Empire, Zhao Yan and Shanyang Xiaoxiao are leading a group of people from Shanyang Kingdom to develop mineral deposits.

This is the mineral deposit that Zhao Yan discovered before, after dealing with these people in the Imperial Palace, Zhao Yan passed such a news to Shanyang Xiaoxiao's ears without a trace.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao found Zhao Yan as soon as she got the news, and then, with the help of Zhao Yan, she selected hundreds of absentees and rushed to the location of the mineral deposit as quickly as possible.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao didn't know anything about the excavation of mineral deposits, the whole process was commanded by Zhao Yan, and Shanyang Xiaoxiao just stood on a high place and watched.

She looked at Zhao Yan's busy figure, and her face, which had been indifferent, showed a long-lost tenderness.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao was originally a kind and gentle girl, and the reason why he became what he is today is naturally inseparable from the drastic changes in the family.

Now, no one in the Shanyang family can provoke the lord of the country, and Shanyang Xiaoxiao has to reluctantly accept this fateful arrangement.

But as the lord of the country, she can't do less and more things like before, she is willful and reckless, she must behave more like a lord of the country.

In addition, the drastic changes in the family and the fall of his father have indeed made some changes in Shanyang Xiaoxiao's state of mind.

It also made her belief in the powerful Shanyang family even stronger.

Although her father was killed by the people of the Shanyang family, in the final analysis, it was because the Shanyang family had declined so badly over the years, so serious that the people in the family had begun to pin their hopes for the growth of the Shanyang family on outsiders.

It's a pity that those clan elders of the Shanyang family chose the wrong object, the Lei Ming family was bent on destroying the Shanyang family from the beginning, and their cooperation with the Lei Ming family was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and in the end, those clan elders also got the punishment they deserved.

The lord of the country is dead, and all the elders of the race have committed suicide in fear of sin, and now what is left to Shanyang Xiaoxiao is a mess that is not in good shape.

In addition to some old and weak people in the family, only those young people who have not yet grown up are left.

Although these young people also have the bloodline of the Nandou Emperor, what they have is the bloodline of the Nandou Emperor before he became the Emperor, so they do not have the bloodline power brought by the Nandou Emperor after he became the emperor.

Especially after hundreds of thousands of years of continuous dilution, the emperor-level academic bloodline on their bodies has become quite thin, and it is almost impossible to rely on these people to make the Shanyang family rise again.

Therefore, Shanyang Xiaoxiao had to work hard and do everything possible to improve the physique and cultivation conditions of these people.

To do this, you need to have sufficient resources at your disposal.

However, the Shanyang family, which has experienced a catastrophe, has no resources to speak of.

It was already a great thing that she was able to lead the people of Shanyang City to rebuild Shanyang City in half a month.

And just when he was at a loss, he actually received the news that there were mineral deposits in the mountains, which undoubtedly gave her low confidence a shot in the arm.

Although Shanyang Xiaoxiao didn't know much about mineral deposits, he could also see that the discovery of this mineral deposit must be inseparable from Zhao Yan.

However, he didn't say it, he knew that the reason why Zhao Yan did this must be because he didn't want to let himself think that he owed him too much.

And at this time, Shanyang Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse Zhao Yan's kindness, because he needed it, and her family needed it even more.

And he also knew that Zhao Yan was an excellent refiner, with these mineral deposits, Zhao Yan could give full play to his refiner's talents, and turn these mineral deposits into venerable weapons, and even emperor weapons, if these tools could be sold in the Nandou Empire, their Shanyang family could buy sufficient sources of cultivation, and these descendants of their Shanyang family would have these sources, and the path of cultivation would inevitably be much smoother.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao was very grateful to Zhao Yan in her heart, but she didn't say it, she wanted to repay Zhao Yan's kindness with her actual actions.

Linglong and Xuanji, the two ancestors, didn't they say that Zhao Yan had already agreed to the marriage? He didn't mind marrying Zhao Yan, but she thought that she was not worthy of Zhao Yan.

Because Zhao Yan is so good.

If nothing else, let's just say that he was able to kill the emperor with the cultivation of His Holiness in the later period, which is not something that ordinary monks can do.

Moreover, Zhao Yan did not use the conspiracy of the gods to kill the emperor, but when he fought head-on, he used his real strength to kill the emperor.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao can be sure that even the person who ranks first on the Zhongyu Shenqing List may not be able to do it.

In other words, Zhao Yan completely has the strength to stabilize the first place on the Shenqing list.

A person with this kind of strength, if there is no accident, he will be a proper leader-level powerhouse in the future.

Such a promising person, being able to combine with herself, how can she not be excited, how can she not be happy?

However, at this time, she buried all the excitement and happiness in her heart, and when he was able to let go of Shanyang Kingdom in the future, he would accompany Zhao Yan all over the Divine Domain, and he would try to catch up with Zhao Yan's pace, and never let him leave him behind.

However, if he really can't keep up with his pace in the future, he will also let go, after all, there is no way to let go.

"Whew" Suddenly, a figure flashed beside Shanyang Xiaoxiao, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhao Yan?

In this Shanyang Kingdom, I am afraid that Zhao Yan is the only one who can have the courage to do this.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao was not surprised, but smiled at Zhao Yan, in Shanyang Country, I am afraid that Zhao Yan is the only one who can see Shanyang Xiaoxiao's smile. "What do you think, so obsessed?" Zhao Yan also looked at Shanyang Xiaoxiao and asked with a smile.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao's expression was stunned when she heard this, and then she replied: "Looking at your busy figure and those mineral deposits that have come out without stopping, I am looking forward to the future of Shanyang Kingdom. ”

Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "Okay, it's good if you're happy." ”

He knew that the girl was lying, but he didn't want to say it.

"In the next few days, there may be people from the Middle Domain Imperial Palace, and they will come with a large number of cultivation sources, and if you see their people at that time, you are not allowed to show a weak expression!"

"Zhongyu, could it be that there will be any big people coming? They are the Imperial Palace, could it be that the great elder will come in person?" asked Shanyang Xiaoxiao puzzled.

"Haha!" Zhao Yan chuckled proudly and said, "You don't know what any of your ancestors have done, if you know, I'm afraid your misunderstanding of him will disappear!"

"En?" Shanyang Xiaoxiao said even more puzzled: "Although our Shanyang family is his bloodline, it has been many generations, and when the Shanyang Kingdom was reincarnated from the imperial dynasty, I didn't see how much he cared about it, is there anything different this time?"

Shanyang Xiaoxiao's dissatisfaction with the Nandou Emperor is definitely not just because when his father was killed, the Nandou Emperor didn't care, but since the Shanyang family was brought to the Nandou Empire by the Nandou Emperor, the Nandou Emperor has never taken care of them.

And hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the people of the Shanyang family have almost forgotten that their ancestor is the master of the Nandou Empire, the Nandou Emperor.

However, as the person of the main lineage of the Shanyang family, the lineage of the lord of the Shanyang family has always known about this, and the people of the main lineage of the Shanyang family also know that the Nandou Emperor does not ignore the Shanyang family.

If he really didn't ask, when the Shanyang Dynasty was destroyed, their Shanyang family would have been slaughtered long ago.

It's just that the Southern Dipper Emperor didn't intervene much, but just hugged the main vein of the Shanyang family, so that the main vein of the Shanyang family could be in a corner of peace and survive.

The Nandou Emperor is the emperor of the entire Nandou Empire, and all the people under his rule are his people, and he can't favor one over the other.

You must know that the emperors of all the dynasties in the Nandou Empire are all generals under the Nandou Emperor, and the emperors of these dynasties helped him fight the country.

And the Shanyang family has done too little compared to those people, so if the Nandou Emperor takes care of the Shanyang family too much, I am afraid that others will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, the Nandou Emperor adopted a free-range method for the Shanyang family.

It's a pity that the people of the Shanyang family themselves are not angry, and they have been given so much time, and there is no real strong person who can lead the rise of the Shanyang family.

When the time comes, the lord of Shanyang, that is, the generation of Shanyang Xiaoxiao's father, the entire Shanyang family still has no improvement.

But his suzerain, the Thundering Dynasty, has produced a real genius, which is the current Emperor of the Thundering Dynasty.

From the very beginning of his reign, the emperor showed an astonishing power to unify the Thundering Dynasty and bring all the vassal states and vassal states under the rule of the dynasty.

The Southern Dipper Emperor knew this, and he was happy to have such a person, because he also hoped that under his rule, there would be less fighting and more harmony between those vassal states and vassal states, and only by reducing the internal friction as much as possible could they better unite and face the demon clan together.

But the existence of the Shanyang Kingdom hindered the unification process of the Thundering Dynasty in his eyes, and when it came to the generation of the lord of Shanyang, the entire Thundering Dynasty, only the Shanyang Kingdom was not included in the territory of the Thundering Dynasty.

And at this stall, in addition to Shanyang Xiaoxiao, a proud girl of the sky, he was even valued by the Huangji Palace, one of the nine major forces in the Central Domain, and wanted to be accepted as a disciple.

This made the Thundering Dynasty see a hint of crisis, and also made the high-ranking Nandou Emperor see the hope of the Shanyang family's resurgence.

When the people who followed the Imperial Palace in Shanyang Xiaoxiao appeared in the imperial capital, the Nandou Emperor had already expressed his meaning to Shanyang Xiaoxiao.

And the young Shanyang Xiaoxiao at that time also knew for the first time that the ancestor of their Shanyang family was the Nandou Emperor.

Originally, he thought that he was extremely honored to be able to meet the Nandou Emperor, but when he learned this fact, the reverence in his heart for the Nandou Emperor instantly collapsed.

Because she was dissatisfied.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao is very clear about the history of his family, after the fall of the dynasty, their Shanyang family has been living in the cracks of major dynasties and forces, and they are living with such grievances.

But Nandou Dadi, as an ancestor, actually ignored all this, she really couldn't figure it out.

Of course, as the Southern Dipper Emperor, who is several times stronger, he naturally disdains to explain to others, let alone make his own children and grandchildren.

Thus, such a knot was formed.

Even with Zhao Yan's help, he saw the land of Nandou again, but he still couldn't let go.

However, Shanyang Xiaoxiao's impression of Linglong and Xuanji is very good, even if they do not have any blood relationship with Shanyang Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Yan looked at Shanyang Xiaoxiao and said with a smile on his face: "Don't you know, just after we subdued those four disciples of the Imperial Palace, one of their emperors was also subdued by me in the early stage. ”

Hearing this, Shanyang Xiaoxiao covered her mouth in surprise.

If you want to defeat an emperor, maybe Zhao Yan can do it, but if you want to subdue an emperor in the early stage, it is not so easy. Zhao Yan: How did he do it?

Without waiting for her to ask, Zhao Yan continued: "Later, the mid-emperor powerhouse who stayed in the imperial palace was thrown back by the emperor with his bare hands, I think, when that mid-emperor is led and smashed on the mountain of the imperial palace, maybe they will know what to do!"

"What? you said he threw an emperor back to the Imperial Palace with his bare hands?" asked Shanyang Xiaoxiao even more shocked.

"Yes, the power of the Emperor is beyond our comprehension. ”

"The strength of the Great Emperor can't be simply guessed by the third realm of the Emperor!"

"Since it is known as one of the few leader-level powerhouses in the Divine Domain, he naturally has a strength that far surpasses the third realm of the emperor, there is no need to worry about this, we will be able to achieve it in the future!" Zhao Yan said nonchalantly.

It's as if he's already a leader-level powerhouse.

Shanyang Xiaoxiaomei's eyes were full of brilliance, he listened to Zhao Yan's last words, and asked with a little weakness: "Leader-level strength, can we really reach it?"

"That's nature, there's no need to doubt this, what about me?" Zhao Yan said with a mysterious smile.

The mineral deposits are abundant, with Zhao Yan's help and the overtime efforts of the miners, seven days is just a little bit of the surface of the mineral deposits, compared to the deep pit that Zhao Yan dug up, it is simply not worth mentioning.

But when they got the minerals, they were already piling them up.

On the second day after the mine was built, Zhao Yan had already begun to lead the metallurgists to start preparing for the construction of the smelter.

Zhao Yan found a relatively flat place at the foot of the mountain where the mineral deposit was located, opened it up, and as the location of the smelter, he relied on his memory to refine a series of instruments for purifying metal quality, and also cultivated a group of smelting talents at the fastest speed.

In the end, there is only one last step left, and that is refining weapons.

So many metals have been smelted, with Zhao Yan alone, it is naturally impossible to use them up.

As early as seven days ago, when the Bowl Fern Mine was started, Zhao Yan had already sent a message to the Southern Regions Dingqi Pavilion.

Seven days later, when the first batch of smelted metals came out, the first batch of refiners of the Ding Ware Pavilion had already arrived.

Those refiners who were originally very dissatisfied with Yang Fan's arrangement were all stunned when they saw the scale of the smelter here.

Although the smelter built by Zhao Yan was only temporary, in the history of the Divine Domain, there had never been a smelting site of this scale.

Moreover, it is specialized in smelting metals, rather than relying on the refiners themselves to use the refining furnace Ding Jinding metal purification.

In other words, the metal smelted in this way can be used for refining immediately, and the purity is so high that they don't know what to do.

In the end, these refiners, who were above the top and disdainful of Zhao Yan at all, insisted on calling one by one Elder Zhao, Brother Zhao, and Master Zhao, and each of them treated Zhao Yan as a brother.

How could Zhao Yan not understand what these big people had in mind, they must have wanted to get the structural diagram of Zhao Yan's construction of this smelter!

With this structural diagram, they can also build such a smelter, so with such a division of labor and cooperation in the future, the refining speed and refining quality will definitely be upgraded to a new level, and when the time comes, the status of these people in the refining industry will definitely be rising!

It is precisely knowing this that Zhao Yan will not easily reveal the secret.

However, he did not say anything to death, he made a request, as long as these people were willing to serve him here, help Shanyang Kingdom refine all these metals into good quality measuring instruments, and could sell them, he would definitely teach them metallurgical technology.

That group of sub-refiners had a hope, so they worked very hard and attentively.

When they refined the tools that far exceeded their previous level, they didn't need Zhao Yan's urging, and their enthusiasm became higher and higher.

That's because they have a great sense of accomplishment when they use a metal refiner of such purity, and the more accomplished they are, the harder they work.

Shanyang Xiaoxiao, who saw this scene, was also surprised, he didn't expect that these ghost and ghost refiners would actually be played with by Zhao Yan.

And in the end, it was Shanyang Country that benefited.

But looking at the boxes of high-grade appliances placed in the warehouse, Shanyang Xiaoxiao began to worry again!

"Zhao Yan, we now have such high-level weapons and armor, but we can't use so much in Shanyang Kingdom, it's all piled up here, what if we can't sell it?" Shanyang Xiaoxiao asked with a sad face.

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "I have already arranged this, you see!"

Zhao Yan said, his finger was already pointing to the sky, and he saw that a small shuttle was already flying from a distance in the sky, and the next moment it had landed in front of Zhao Yan and the others.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan and Shanyang Xiaoxiao both greeted them.

A group of four people came out of the shuttle, all of them were young talents, and their realms were all above the middle of the honorable level.

However, as soon as these four people saw Zhao Yan, they immediately saluted and said, "Yang Feng and his three junior brothers and sisters have seen Elder Zhao!"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he waved his hand and said, "These politeness will be waived, this is Shanyang Xiaoxiao, the lord of Shanyang Country, you can get to know each other!"

The four of them didn't care about Zhao Yan's attitude, but followed Zhao Yan's arrangement and introduced each other to Shanyang Xiaoxiao, and then Zhao Yan took them to the warehouse.

"Oh my God!" When they saw the warehouse full of high-grade equipment, the four of them said these three words almost at the same time!
