Shuyu Kingdom won as he wished, and the two parties were happy after taking what they needed according to the agreement, and this time the sandstone nine forces of the main battle once again made a lot of money and did not lose much, so that the few forces that did not participate in the war were somewhat moved and regretted, thinking that they had missed a good opportunity to make a fortune in vain. Someone has already taken the initiative to find Lu Yi and made it clear that he wants to participate in the next war, but Lu Yi told the people who came that after two expeditions, it will take a while for all parties to digest the fruits of victory, so there will be no such good things in the near future.

Lu Yi quietly left Qilin City to find Sima Hongqian, after thinking about it for a while, he thought of a delaying plan, while he promised to learn from Sima Hongqian, while observing the style of these spiritual monks around him, to see if he could choose a few candidates who could be cultivated into confidants, and polish them over time to firmly control these people. At the same time, he sent a summons to the fat man asking for help, asking the fat man to hurry up and come to Qilin City to join him, there was no one close to him, Lu Yi really felt a little lonely, and there was no one to talk to if something happened, which made Lu Yi feel very unaccustomed.

Sima Hongqian is still very happy that Lu Yi can turn sex, it seems that his on-demand broadcast of this unruly boy is not in vain, Sima Hongqian took Lu Yi to leave the capital of Dongtuo Kingdom, and the two went to a sparsely populated hilly area, Sima Hongqian asked Lu Yi to build a new village here in a year, and relocate the people who were living a poor life around them to help them live a stable life, so as to win the hearts of the people. Sima Hongqian proposed that Lu Yi could only show no more than fourth-order strength in this year's time, which was basically the same as the level of the demon beasts active in this hilly area, but it was not ruled out that there would be demon beasts above the fifth order, and then Lu Yi would need to work together with all the people to deal with it. Sima Hongqian said that he would pay attention to Lu Yi's movements at any time, and asked Lu Yi not to be clever and use more than the limit while there was no supervision, and then he left alone and left Lu Yi here alone.

Lu Yi did not rush to build a village after Sima Hongqian left, but first carefully circled around the entire hilly area, familiarized himself with the overall environment, and then found the scattered people living in this area, learned about their living conditions, and also figured out the personnel structure of these residents. Lu Yi found that this hilly area covers an area of more than 1,000 miles, the products are not rich, most of the mountains are bare rocks, not a single inch of grass grows, the monsters living here are mainly smaller foxes, wolves, rabbits and sheep, occasionally sand lizards, snakes and scorpions and other fierce beasts that pose a greater threat to ordinary people, in the junction of hills and hills and some windy places there will be some low woods and weeds and puddles, etc., these lands have become the target of competition between residents and monsters, and both sides rely on these meager resources to survive. There are less than 10,000 inhabitants living in the entire hilly area, and there are less than thirty people who can cultivate, and they are all the kind of low-cost cultivators who cultivate below the fourth order, the number of hunters is slightly larger, about a thousand, and the rest are all old and weak women and children. Nearly 10,000 residents live in scattered areas, dotted with living resources in various sizes of the area, they don't have any decent houses, mostly made of stones, several or even dozens of families live next to each other, such houses do not have too strong defense capabilities, for some small monsters can still resist a bit, encountering sand lizards such ferocious large monsters can only abandon their homes to flee first, and then return after the monsters go. Even so, there are often casualties, and there are not a few people who are eaten by demon beasts every year. However, compared to other places in the Western Regions where the wind and sand are raging, because of the obstruction of these hills, it will not be attacked by the wind and sand, and there are some places where you can grow crops and hunt some small demon beasts such as foxes, wolves, rabbits and rats, but they can barely live a life of food and clothing, so as long as the residents here do not encounter the invasion of large demon beasts, they can still live a relatively stable life, which is also the reason why the residents here would rather suffer from the damage of demon beasts than leave.

After the mapping work was completed, Lu Yi found a relatively large village, where nearly 120 families lived, and there were four monks, two second-order and two third-order, which was the strongest population settlement in the entire hilly area. Lu Yi's appearance in the village caused an uproar, firstly, because the cultivation of the fourth-order monk shown by Lu Yi made everyone admire, and secondly, Lu Yi made it clear that he wanted to help the people in the hilly area live a stable life, which made the people in the village suspicious, and there were fourth-order and even fifth-order monks who had come here before, but those high-ranking immortal masters basically turned around and found that there was no oil and water and left, and the person in front of him actually said that he wanted to stay and help everyone build a new village that was not afraid of demon beasts, and did not ask for any payment, they all felt that they were dreaming, and they did not believe it in their hearts。

Believe it or not, when the people in the village saw that Lu Yi had opened an open area on the periphery of the existing village, and got a lot of stones and used means to dig all those stones into square and sized stone bricks, they were more or less moved, and some people began to come around to watch Lu Yi slowly build those stone bricks into a wall, some people were more enthusiastic, and offered to help Lu Yi, Lu Yi was not polite, and after explaining to the people who helped, he was relieved to hand them over to build the wall, and he went out to find more stones to make stone bricks and transport them back。 In this way, after a few days, the people in the village finally believed that Lu Yi was indeed going to help everyone build a line of defense to protect everyone's safety, and all the people in the village who could participate in the work spontaneously came to build a wall with Lu Yi.

Soon, a stone wall around the entire village was erected, and the entire village had several times the previous defense capability. But this is only the beginning, and soon people found that after Lu Yi tested the solidity of this wall, he began to continue to expand outward to create a new open space, and began the construction of the second wall, and this time, the wall was obviously higher and thicker than the first one, and even people could stand on the wall to attack downward with condescending. There were a few knowledgeable people in the village, and they immediately realized that what Lu Yi was building this time was not a simple wall, but a city wall with extremely strong defense and counterattack capabilities! After they said this, everyone got a positive answer from Lu Yi, and the people in the village were excited and tearful, everyone knew that once this city wall was raised, then the whole village would become the only town in this hilly area, not only could accommodate more people, but also made the people living in the town no longer have to worry about sleeping at night when they were sleeping, and the monsters would suddenly jump into the house in the middle of the night, swallowing the people who were still asleep, and they could finally sleep peacefully! You know, this is the dream of these people living in the hilly area for many generations! This news soon spread, first some people from several neighboring villages came to inquire about the reality, and after seeing the city wall that had begun to take shape, they were also very excited, and cautiously asked if they could get Lu Yi's protection to live in the town that would be built, and they were willing to contribute people in exchange for the right to live. After receiving Lu Yi's affirmative reply, those people quickly returned to their respective villages to report the news, and soon sent young and strong laborers to participate in the construction of the city wall.

In this way, the news spread that soon the aborigines of this hilly area knew that a small town was going to rise in the hilly area, and all the residents living in the hilly area began to move to the place where Lu Yi built the city, trying to be able to enter the city and live a stable life from then on. As more and more people join in the work of building the city, the construction speed of this small town is getting faster and faster, and because of the strength of the large number of people, the city wall of the small city is thicker than the beginning of the design, the current city wall is as high as three zhang, the width is one zhang, and there are watchtowers, lookouts, ballista rooms and other defense facilities every 100 zhang distance. And Lu Yi also gathered a part of the hunters together to conduct group combat drills, and taught some craftsmen who knew how to build strong bows and crossbows and various commonly used weapons, so that the weapons of the hunters were directly upgraded by several grades, and their strength increased greatly. Because the current resources around the town are not enough to feed more and more people, so after upgrading the equipment, Lu Yi let the only monks with hundreds of hunters form a hunting team to hunt long distances to meet people's needs for food, and at the same time lead a group of people to reclaim a large area of mountainous land on the periphery of the town, transport fertile soil, plant grain and other crops, and use water and wood techniques to promote growth, and achieve a bumper harvest of grain. In this way, after the town is fully completed, the problem of food and clothing has been properly solved.

The small city has been built, and Lu Yi is now a god-like existence in the hearts of all the aborigines in the hilly areas, and has been loved and supported by everyone. More than thirty monks also received Lu Yi's guidance, and many of them received more advanced exercises and low-level magic weapons suitable for them from Lu Yi, and the strength of the monks was also strengthened. Lu Yi organized the more than 1,000 hunters into ten hundred-person teams, and assigned them a few monks respectively, and every time they went out hunting, they acted collectively, so that there were few demon beasts that could threaten them in the entire hilly area. In this way, when the one-year period expired, Lu Yi had completed the tempering of this first level in full accordance with Sima Hongqian's requirements.
