Naland, a member of the outer core of the Nalan family of Su Huiguo, has been sent to Peicheng to be the city lord for three years, and he is eager to seize this opportunity, mainly to let the inner core of the Nalan family see his ability through this opportunity, so that his position can rise to the next level and leave this small city.

"I have an idea, I don't know if it will succeed, I just put it forward for everyone's reference." Shui Ruoxi, the president of the Apothecary Guild cleared his throat. "Our Peicheng is backed by the barren primeval forest, this primeval forest is very large, isolating Peicheng from the southern Wu country, and only through the western part of Su Huiguo can we connect with the southern Wu country."

"President Shui, please tell you the point, don't talk nonsense!" Qu Honggang of Time Auction House is a fiery temper.

"Patriarch Qu, please be calm for a while, this is to the point. As you must be aware, there are many villages on the outskirts of the barren primeval forest, and these villages do not often communicate with the outside world, but that does not mean that there are no talented young people among them. If we can find such people in these villages, take them for our own use, and cultivate them, maybe we can also be admitted to Tianyuan Academy! ”

"President Shui, you're too whimsical! None of the well-cultivated elites in our family can be admitted, but these wild children in the countryside can be admitted through training? President Shui, you are a fool's dream! "Huang Fuli's temper is not very good.

"That's it! Don't think we don't know what you're going to do. You want to borrow our hands to help you get rid of all kinds of traps on the periphery of this barren primeval forest, so that your Apothecary Guild can be more handy when searching for medicinal herbs! Qu Honggang didn't give Shui Ruoxi face at all.

"Presidents, I am only proposing a possibility, a suggestion, and it is your intention to adopt it or not." is worthy of being the president of one of the five major forces, and he will not change his color after being exposed.

"Patriarchs, the suggestion put forward by the water chief is not impossible. The population of our Peicheng has always been small, and through this incident, I can also know how many hidden populations we still have in Peicheng. It's just that this talented young man still has to be selected from your family. In this way, after the patriarchs go back, they will devote themselves to cultivating the children of their own families, and strive to have outstanding young people be admitted to Tianyuan Academy. A year later, we Peicheng conducted an inter-family competition, and I, Naland, rewarded the first place with a Xuan-level Dou Qi cultivation technique, the second place with a high-level suit, and the third place with a bottle of high-grade elixir. ”

"Since the Nalan City Lord has arranged such a competition, we can only devote ourselves to cultivating the children of our clan, striving to win the first place in the competition, and win glory for Peicheng! Nalan City Lord, then I'll leave first! "The major forces have left one after another.

"Naranzi!" After the group left, Nalander called his subordinate Naranzi in.

"Lord of the City, what do you command?"

"Naranzi, you go to the escort team to choose a good hand, and then contact the adventurer's guild, let them show you the way, and go to find out how many people are hidden under the jurisdiction of this Peicheng. If you meet someone with extraordinary talent, try to recruit if you can; If you can't solicit, try not to offend, it's best to make a good fate, and you can't say that you will help us in the future! Do you understand? ”

"Nalan City Lord, your subordinates understand! Subordinates retire! Naranzi took the order.

Nalande waved his hand, motioned for Naranzi to step back, reached out and took a sip of the strong tea that had been brewed just right.

"If the population of Peicheng can increase significantly under my rule, those guys will also see my ability!" Naland's heart was full of thoughts.

The secret meeting hall of the Apothecary's Guild.

"Naland, that old fox!" Shui Ruoxi looked unhappy.

"Elder, what happened in the City Lord's Mansion today? Why are you so unhappy when you come back? ”

Shui Ruoxi briefly explained what happened today, and the others were also indignant when they listened.

"This old fox obviously wants to recruit these people privately, under the banner of census population, if there are really talented people, then he won't let the City Lord's Mansion recruit them all!"

"Grown, should we go and ...... in private?"

"To go, of course to go, but we can't be too blatant. With Nalan Old Fox's usual practice, he will definitely contact the Adventurer's Guild and let the people of the Adventurer's Guild explore the way ahead! In order not to startle the snake, we can only find it ourselves in private. In this way, you go and gather the good players in the guild, try to keep the movement as small, and recruit as many talented people as possible. ”

"Yes, I will grow." Ling Feng took the order and left.

This kind of dialogue is common among the four major forces. Thus began a competition against the various hidden villages under the jurisdiction of Peicheng.

And after Huo Chen returned to the village, the main reason why he didn't see the crowd was that ten days ago, Zhuge Village was discovered by the people of the City Lord's Mansion led by Nalanqi. The villagers of Zhuge Village are holding a meeting on the martial arts training ground in the village under the call of the village chief Zhuge Yun.

There have been two such meetings, the first time in the village of Zhuge outside the valley.

Most of the villagers there had no cultivation talent, and when the people led by Nalanqi appeared in front of the villagers of Zhuge Village after clearing the fog and traps on the periphery of Zhuge Village, the villagers were greatly frightened. The hunter team protecting the villagers, under the leadership of Zhao Kang, had a brief clash with Naranqi's men and horses.

And after Nalanqi explained his intentions, he also found that these members of the hunter team had good strength, and he also wanted to recruit them, and he also wanted to invite the villagers of Zhuge Village to move to live in Peicheng, and guaranteed generous treatment.

Zhuge Yun temporarily replied to Nalanqi on the pretext that he couldn't abandon his ancestral inheritance, and also explained that the villagers were used to living in the countryside and might not be able to adapt to the life of Peicheng, and promised that if there were villagers who were willing to move, Zhuge Village would not stop them.

After the men and horses led by Nalanqi left, Zhuge Yun convened everyone for the first meeting, which was the second meeting in Zhuge Village in the valley.

When Huo Chen arrived at the martial arts training ground, the villagers were discussing fiercely.

"I won't go, I'm used to being free in the village, and I have to be disciplined when I get there, and I don't have the talent for cultivation, I think it's good to stay in Zhuge Village!" This is the unanimous opinion of most villagers who have no cultivation talent.

"But I want to go outside! Besides, Peicheng has already discovered us, and the so-called seclusion no longer exists! I would like to live in Peicheng! "This is what some of the villagers think.

Zhuge Yun just wanted to stop the villagers' quarrel, and when he looked up, he saw Huo Chen coming from outside, and hurriedly beckoned Huo Chen to come over.

"Grandpa the village chief, what's wrong? What are the villagers arguing about? Huo Chen also didn't understand, this was the most serious quarrel that Huo Chen had had since he could remember.

Zhuge Yun simply introduced what happened ten days ago to Huo Chen, and also explained that if Huo Chen wants to go out in the future, it is better to go to Peicheng first, and the performance of the Nalan family has been recognized by Zhuge Yun.

When Huo Chen heard the news, he was first shocked, and then happy. Perhaps, this is also an opportunity for Huo Chen to leave Zhuge Village. Here, although the aura and magic elements of heaven and earth are very rich, but without the guidance of the teacher, everything needs to be explored by yourself. In addition, Huo Chen still lacked a good Dou Qi cultivation technique, and there were more magic spells, which could no longer support Huo Chen's dream of continuing to become stronger.
