Although Dong Ning was angry at Chen Hai's pretense, and couldn't guess the mystery of Chen Hai's sword slashing the Liujia Secret Shield, if she wanted to break through the bottleneck of the Great Yan Sword Technique's cultivation, she had to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to study a large number of classics. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Dong Ning could see the burly Chen Hai every time, curled up comfortably in the bookcase in the corner of the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion, and it seemed that he had never left; his thick and unkempt beard and hair had not been combed for several months, his bloated face and scars were vertical and horizontal, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, like stars in the night sky, and Chen Hai always held a low-level Xuangong dossier in his hand and studied it attentively, ignoring the things around him.

The disciples of Shangqifeng, even if they did not have the contempt and ridicule of Chen Hai at the beginning, still regarded him as different, and no one took the initiative to get closer to him.

After suffering a loss, although Dong Ning didn't want to provoke Chen Hai again, she had to admit that Chen Hai could be so obsessed with the study and enlightenment of low-level Xuangong for months, obviously not deliberately acting to attract her attention, Chen Hai seemed to have a rough appearance, but he had a different momentum from other inner disciples.

And she confirmed that Chen Hai really didn't know anything about their previous marriage contract, which also puzzled her, Chen Hai was expelled from the clan by the Yao clan, and he was also seventeen years old, didn't the Yao family ask his opinion on this marriage contract?

She once thought that the Patriarch Hall would access Chen Hai's files, and wanted to know why Chen Hai was abolished and expelled from the Yao clan, but the Patriarch Hall had a collection of disciple files, and the warrants of the Pope, Shangqifeng Shouzao and others could not be accessed.

As time passed, Dong Ning's curiosity gradually cooled, and Chen Hai did not mention the bet in front of her again.

Although Dong Ning didn't care about one or two yellow-level top-grade magic weapons, she couldn't even see through the mystery of Chen Hai's sword slashing the Liujia secret shield, and she was unwilling to lose a yellow-level top-grade magic weapon to Chen Hai.

And since Chen Hai never mentioned the matter of betting, Dong Ning was also angry and did not mention it.

Sometimes, Dong Ning even avoided Chen Hai and went to the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion or hid to the inner sect, and the disciples could not enter the third and fourth floors to meditate and cultivate.

Time passed like water, and four months passed in a trance, Taiwei Mountain also entered the cool summer season of the seventy-second year of Emperor Yitian, one day Dong Ning went to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion after a penance in the trial tower, but unexpectedly found that Chen Hai, who had been sitting in the corner studying the classics for several months, did not continue to sit there.

Dong Ning didn't care at first, and then he didn't see Chen Hai for three days, and only then did he know from the discussions of other fellow brothers that Chen Hai and Zhou Jun had already gone out of the mountain to practice.

For the vast majority of disciples who had just entered the cultivation of the Seven Peaks, entering Qiyunling was like stepping into a new world of cultivation.

What I came into contact with in Qiyunling, whether it was Xuangong mastery or magic powers, was far beyond the reach of the Taoist Academy. Even the clan lords who have been passed down for more than ten generations, the cultivation system and the collection of dossier classics are far less complete and rich than those of the Upper Seven Peaks.

Almost all the disciples have just entered the Upper Seven Peaks to cultivate, and if they seize this time, their cultivation will make great progress.

Before encountering a bottleneck that was difficult to break through, there was hardly anyone who was willing to leave the Upper Seven Peaks and go out of the mountains to practice at the most precious time in their lives, not to mention that Dong Ning saw Chen Hai a few days ago and saw that he still succeeded in opening up the Linghai Secret Palace.

Dong Ning really couldn't understand, what did Chen Hai do when he went out of the mountain at this time, and went out to lose face on the Seven Peaks?

However, Dong Ning thought in her heart that just like the marriage contract that no one mentioned anymore, she should also completely remove Chen Hai from her mind and stop thinking about him.

****************************

At this time, Chen Hai didn't know what Dong Ning, the lord of Yuecheng County, was thinking, and he and Zhou Jun and Wu Meng had already returned to Yulong Mountain after receiving Chen Lie's letter.

The various departments of the Jade Dragon Battalion are going to build a new patrol camp, which may be a precursor to the large-scale war organized by the Dadu Protector General's Mansion.

Chen Hai and Zhou Jun were eager to make meritorious contributions, so they naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to conquer the Lanchuan counties with the army.

Chen Hai and they entered the upper seven peaks to practice, left the Jade Dragon Mountain for more than half a year, this time in the name of the mountain and then came back, saw the buildings in the city of the Jade Dragon Mansion doubled dense, the population also became more dense, the streets and alleys were full of traffic, the river was endless, more than a year ago it was hard to imagine that this was still a barren ridge outside the Chenqiao Village.

And several avenues extending from the new Yulongfu City into Yulong Mountain have also been successfully opened up, a large number of cars and horses in and out of the mountain, Yulong Mountain is ten times more prosperous and busier than before.

These opened up stone paving avenues, I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been used, the narrowest place can be used for four horses to ride together, Chen Hai and they don't need two hours at this time, they can rush from the Yulongfu City Imperial Horse to the Huanglongyuan Dao Academy.

And from Huanglongyuan to Yaoshiyuan, it doesn't take an hour to travel on a horse.

Chen Lie's fiefdom was also formalized, and he chose the mountain ridge on the east wing of Huanglongyuan, and set up the Zhaoyang Pavilion with the Snake Valley as the center.

With the Great Yan Emperor system, 100 miles are counties, 30 miles are townships, and 10 miles are pavilions.

In order to make up for the lack of mountains in the depths of Yulong Mountain, Zhaoyang Pavilion takes the Snake Valley as the center, and almost encloses the surrounding mountains within a radius of twenty miles.

This is not Chen Zhang or someone secretly deceiving, wanting to deliberately suppress Chen Hai, in fact, the Dadu Protector General's Mansion directly asked Chen Lie, Chai Teng and others of the Marquis of the New Fengting Pavilion to choose the land of the fiefdom in Yulong Mountain, and to use the newly rising clan to take root in Yulong Mountain to strengthen the determination of the Wuwei Army to manage Yulong Mountain.

In the Jade Dragon Mountain, the Dadu Hu General's Mansion focuses on the area near Huanglongyuan.

In the south of Huanglongyuan, in addition to the construction of Nantianmen Village as an important fortress and even the deployment of defensive arrays, more than a dozen strong military fortresses were built on the periphery to build a more dense defense line.

In addition to Shixia, Huanglongyuan has opened up two new avenues to the north, which are connected with the prefectures and counties in the north of the mountain.

In this case, Chen Lie could only choose the place of the fiefdom near Huanglongyuan.

In the vicinity of Huanglongyuan, there are also areas with high-grade spiritual spring resources, and there are a very limited number of places such as the Medicine Master Garden, among which only the Medicine Master Garden is directly controlled by the Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou Mansion, except for the new Zhaoyang Pavilion with the Medicine Master Garden as the center, there is no other better choice.

This was something that Chen Hai had decided not long after he entered the Seven Peaks to cultivate.

In the past half a year, some of their families and clansmen have also moved into the mountains near the Snake Valley, and they have chosen a place to build a courtyard and settle down.

Chen Hai naturally did not object to such an arrangement, he knew very well in his heart that only in this way, no matter how his uncle Chen Lie's position changed in the future, no matter how long he could stay in the Jade Dragon Camp, the Medicine Master Garden and the Zhaoyang Pavilion could fundamentally become the foundation of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, and the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion could truly use the Medicine Master Garden as the foundation to become a force.

************************

In the past six months, Zhaoyang Tingyang Mansion has invested a lot of resources to build a pharmacist garden.

Chen Hai, Zhou Jun, and Wu Meng returned to Yulongfu City, and knew from Su Yuan that the Medicine Master Garden had been built into a walled city, and it was also the center of Zhaoyang Pavilion.

The walled city is built in a dangerous place in the northern part of the snake valley with the snake cave spirit pond as the center, and the solid stone walled wall stretches for three or four miles in total, with battlement walls, guard towers, and arrow towers, which are purely built according to the specifications of the mountain city.

Chen Lie, Chen Hai, Chen Zhang, Chen Qing, Sun Gan, Su Yuan, Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Chen Quan, Chen Yu, Ge Tong, Shen Kun, Zhou Jingyuan and other private gardens of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion were all re-established and built in the Walled City of Yaoshiyuan.

Most of these private mansions are built around the snake cave spirit pool, and many palaces, pavilions and private forest gardens are also perfect.

Many relatives and close tribesmen of the lineage mostly set aside land outside the walled city to build houses, and near the Snake Valley, some relatively easy valley slopes were selected, and more than ten new villages were built to house the forced laborers and the thousands of newly relocated dependents......

The mountains and forests near the Walled City have the strongest spiritual energy, and most of them are cultivated as medicinal fields, planting spiritual grass and spiritual trees, and a large number of fields have been opened up in the outer mountains and distributed to the attached people for cultivation.

In this way, Yakushien was able to maintain the supply of basic materials in Zhaoyang Pavilion by extracting land tax and land rent.

In the past six months, Zhou Jingyuan and others have also discovered two refined iron veins in the mountains within the scope of Zhaoyang Pavilion, opened up two mines, built a smelter, and mobilized hundreds of hard laborers to smelt nearly 100,000 catties of refined iron every month.

Under Su Yuan's personal control, the Yaoshiyuan armor shops were also officially rolled out in the counties of Hexi, and more than 40 new armor shops were set up in more than 40 cities, all of which were directly dispatched by Su Yuan from the Tinghou Mansion to the shopkeepers, craftsmen and other manpower.

On the side of the Medicine Master Garden Walled City, in addition to Zhou Jingyuan being in charge of two mines and a refined iron refining field, Su Yuan also transferred three senior craftsmen who had the ability to refine the magic weapon of the Yellow Rank Lower Grade to enter Huanglongyuan.

In addition to one person entering the Huanglongyuan Taoist Academy and serving as the head of the Instrument Academy, the other two led dozens of craftsmen and hundreds of apprentices to operate a foundry in the west of the Walled City of Yaoshiyuan, casting a large number of armor and supplying armor shops in various places......

Chen Lie was knighted as the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion, in addition to the subordinate officials such as the chief historian and the main book in the Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Chief, Pavilion Lieutenant and other vacancies were also directly appointed by the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis's Mansion.

However, the daily affairs of Zhaoyang Pavilion were still too trivial to be compared with the affairs of the army, so Chen Lie arranged for Chen Su and Ge Tong to serve as pavilion chiefs and pavilion captains to deal with internal and external affairs and defense of Zhaoyang Pavilion.

The mines, the refining ground, and even the thousands of acres of medicinal fields near the Snake Cave Spirit Pond will be the core financial resources of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion in the future, and naturally Su Yuan will directly control them; Chen Su, who is a member of Chen Zhang's lineage, is not qualified to intervene.

The disciple camp is not only responsible for the cultivation of the reserve forces of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, but also the foundation for the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion to directly fight against the Chai clan in the Huanglongyuan Daoist Academy, Chen Lie still let Chen Hai directly control it, and is usually assisted by Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, Ge Tong, Qian Wenyi and others.

In addition to the disciple battalion, the two hundred elite generals stationed in the Walled City of the Medicine Master Garden, although they were all established by the Huwei battalion, were all based on the more than 30 elite soldiers selected and trained by Chen Hai, and the selection and expansion of the children of the Han Sect.

These two hundred elite generals, usually led by Ge Tong, can also be said to be the descendants cultivated by Chen Hai, and Chen Lie also directly assigned this part of the private soldiers to Chen Hai's control.

In this way, the distribution of power within the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion was basically formed, and Chen Hai officially became the sixth person in the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion in addition to Chen Zhang, Sun Gan, Su Yuan, Chen Quan, and Chen Yu, and his authority was not even below others.
