in the main hall.

The dome is inlaid with countless night pearls, illuminating the spacious and magnificent space as bright as day. Thousands of monks gathered together, cups and cups were staggered, laughter and laughter, and many maids in colorful skirts were waiting diligently on the side, and all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, fine wines and wines were sent like water.

Due to the display of the cultivation of the Rongyuan Realm, Qin Luyan's position was arranged in the area of the hall close to the top, and those Spirit God Realm cultivators could be seen not far away, and the seats of the city lord and several important officials were arranged in the top area.

The city lord is a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, but his eyes are bright and abnormal, and there is a faint dark aura around his body, and he is a master who has just entered the realm of breaking delusion.

The cultivation of the several important officials beside him was also good, except for the Luo Ting Commander who he had seen during the day, the remaining dozen or so people all had cultivation ranging from the Spirit God Realm to the Returning to the Void Realm. Especially the handsome black-robed young man sitting on the left hand side of the city lord is actually already at the peak of the Void Realm, and he is only one step away from trying the Demon Tribulation, and after breaking through, he will be a real powerhouse in the Delusion Breaking Realm.

On the right hand side of the city lord, there is a young girl sitting upright, with a goose yellow skirt, soft and agile facial features, a pair of bright big eyes looking left and right, and the youthful and lively atmosphere cannot be concealed. It looks like it should be the daughter of the city lord.

Moreover, her cultivation is not weak, and she is actually at the peak of the Yunling Realm. If this is placed in Xuanling Palace, it will be the best among the core disciples, and it will be qualified to be valued and cultivated by the elders with real power.

Qin Luyan didn't look any further, lowered her head and silently dealt with the food in front of her. The ingredients that can be taken out to entertain many monks are naturally not ordinary, they are mostly taken from those spirit beasts and demon beasts, which are not only delicious, but also contain abundant spiritual essence, and if you don't eat a meal, you will inevitably be sorry for your foodie appetite.

Above, the city lord Guan Lingsong was drinking leisurely, and a pair of eyes were also quietly looking at the many loose cultivators of the drinking banquet.

Xuanyun City has not been established for too long, so its strength can only be regarded as mid-stream among the many Terran forces in the Frost Continent. However, this generation of city lords has worked hard and worked hard, and their comprehensive strength has been steadily improving for 20 years.

Due to the unusually harsh environment of the Frost Continent, there are very few Dao sects here, and these large and small cities are equivalent to a cultivation sect to some extent, but they are not entirely. Castle lords and their vassals have a great deal of power and influence, and seem more akin to smaller lords.

"Mr. Mu, what do you think of these monks?" He turned his head and asked politely.

The handsome black-robed young man replied softly, "Some of the loose cultivation qualifications look good, are you planning to select a batch to be included in the worship hall?" I think that when this war is over, I can send an envoy to contact them. ”

Guan Lingsong nodded slightly, in order to enhance the foundation and strength of Xuanyun City, recruiting new blood is an indispensable act. There are more masters in the city, and there will be more room for development in the future.

"But ......"

The black-robed young man's words changed: "Although these Spirit God Realm cultivators are good, most of them have exhausted their potential, and some of them still have hidden injuries and hidden diseases. I'm afraid it's not of much value. ”

Guan Ling shook his head and said, "Mr. is right, but there are few potential candidates." It is not easy to recruit such people. If the cultivation is inferior, it will not only take time to grow up, but also have to invest a lot of resources, and it may not be able to retain it in the future, so it is really difficult to think about it. ”

After all, these cities on the mainland are not sects, and they are not real countries, so their influence and binding force are naturally inferior, and it is not too easy to retain talents.

In the past, there have been examples of city lords discovering some good casual cultivation, recruiting them to their subordinates, and spending a lot of resources for their cultivation and improvement, but never thought that after a few years, the other party would break through the realm and be full-fledged, so they would say goodbye.

Therefore, these current city lords are much more cautious about this matter, and they are not sure enough, and they will never be the boss of this kind of injustice again. A small number of city lords who act in an extreme and ruthless style like to use some sinister and vicious demonic methods to forcibly control their subordinate masters, and as a result, they have become notorious and everyone is in danger, and they no longer dare to set foot in their sphere of influence.

Mr. Mu said gently: "Adults don't need to worry too much, although this kind of thing happens, it is not inevitable. As long as it is treated in good faith and properly handled in terms of reward payment, the interests of Xuanyun City can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. ”

"Well, Mr. Lao has to worry a lot about this." Guan Lingsong said.

This Mu Lingqi was originally from a medium-sized sect, and his ancestors had a good relationship with the city lord's family, so after the sect suffered an accident and collapsed, he came here to join him and was respected as a guest.

Moreover, this guest secretary is thoughtful and intelligent, and often has unique insights and ideas in taking care of the city's internal affairs, and has helped Guan Lingsong solve a lot of troubles for more than ten years, making Xuanyun City thriving and developing more and more prosperous, which has won the trust of the city lord.

Luo Ting, the commander of the city guards next to him, listened silently, and didn't intend to interject. But when his eyes swept over the hall, he suddenly saw Qin Luyan sitting in the crowd, and he was a little surprised, and when he looked closely, he found that the two cultivators with profound cultivation beside her were not present, and his heart moved.

"Lord of the City, and Mr. Mu, my subordinates have found a good candidate, maybe it's worth considering." He whispered.

"Oh? Who is it? Guan Lingsong suddenly became interested.

Luo Ting alluded to Qin Luyan, and then told his experience in that shop during the day, and especially said that the two scattered cultivators at the peak of the Spirit God Realm were suspected to be the elders of the girl.

"Mr. Mu, what do you think?" Guan Lingsong looked at Qin Luyan from a distance for a while, and asked slowly.

"Your Excellency already has an idea, so why ask?"

Mu Ling smiled and said: "This girl's qualifications are indeed extraordinary, I have only seen them in my life, plus those two casual cultivators, if they can be used by the city lord, it will be of great help to the future of Xuanyun City." ”

"Having said that, it's just that it's not easy for such a genius to recruit and let her stay in the city with peace of mind." Guan Lingsong was a little embarrassed.

He and Mr. Mu both cultivated some kind of Qi Secret Technique, so they vaguely sensed Qin Luyan's extraordinaryness, but the shadows were too good to see, perhaps they were isolated by some kind of great supernatural power and obscured the heavenly machine.

Mu Ling groaned for a while, and suddenly saw the daughter of the city lord sitting next to him, and his eyes lit up: "Yes, my lord, it is better to let Miss find an excuse to contact her first and get closer." If it works, then it's easy to do. ”

Guan Lingsong looked slightly stunned, thought about it and nodded happily: "Yes, let Shuying go and talk to her." ”

There is a little regret in his heart, this girl's qualifications are so good that he is a little envious, but it is a pity that his son is now traveling and has not returned, if he can make her his daughter-in-law, then Xuanyun City will definitely usher in a new round of expansion in the next few decades, and if he is lucky, he may be among the strongest forces in the Frost Continent.

However, as long as she gets along well with her daughter, it will be impossible for her to leave for a while. And having her daughter's best friend as a lobbyist makes it easier for her to accept it in her heart. Maybe when my son returns, the matter will be settled.

"Shuying, I have an important matter for my father to be handed over to you......" Guan Ling made up his mind, turned his head and whispered to the girl beside him for a while.

"I see......"

The girl in the goose yellow dress rolled her bright eyes, glanced at Qin Luyan below with interest, and said softly: "Okay, since the father has opened his mouth, the daughter will reluctantly try it." It seems good to have such a beautiful young lady as a sister-in-law. ”

"Go and pick up some good gifts in the back, this matter is related to your brother's lifelong event, and it is also related to the future of Xuanyun City, so you must not be careful." Guan Lingsong admonished.

Guan Shuying agreed, and got up happily.

A moment later, a large group of maids in colorful skirts walked in with gorgeous trays inlaid with gold and jade.

Guan Lingsong got up and clapped his palms, and many scattered cultivators in the hall stopped their movements one after another, and all eyes were focused on this city lord.

"The Xuanbing Ice Disaster is coming, and the city defense situation in Xuanyun City is tight, but fortunately, you can lend a hand, and I am grateful to someone, and naturally I will not spare some goods. This is half of the agreed remuneration, and please accept it with a smile. Guan Lingsong said with a smile.

Many casual cultivators symbolically politely said a few words, and then they accepted them one after another.

This is a customary rule, and each casual cultivator who assists in defending the city can get half of the reward in advance, and the remaining half can only be obtained after the defense of the city is over.

Qin Luyan looked at the maid standing in front of her, raised her hand and uncovered the bright yellow brocade on the tray, below which were two delicate purple jade bottles, as well as fifty medium-grade spirit crystals. It's a spirit crystal, not a spirit stone.

The bottle contained the Binghua Yuan Xi Pill, a total of one hundred, the efficacy and value of this pill were inferior to the Liangyi Transformation Pill, but it also belonged to the real earth-grade pill.

Qin Luyan smiled secretly in her heart, the reward is indeed quite generous, but unfortunately it is equivalent to buying life money, if you can't survive the battle to defend the city, this benefit will be useless.

In addition to the elixir and spirit crystal, there was also a jade slip on the tray. She took it and inspected it for a while, and found that it contained thousands of elixirs, treasures, runes, ores, rare spirit beast blood, demon beast cores, and the like, more than half of which were specialties only available in the Frost Continent.

This is all the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion, but if you want to exchange it, you have to fight bravely to kill the enemy in the defense of the city, and exchange it for merit afterwards.

"Looks like we're going to have to do a good job this time." Qin Luyan muttered to herself.

Even though she is already extremely wealthy, she still finds a lot of good things in it that make her heart flutter.

"This sister, if you need something urgently, maybe I can help you." A clear, soft voice sounded.

Qin Luyan was slightly stunned, and looked at the beautiful maid in front of her, she was talking just now.

"My name is Guan Shuying, don't you want me to sit down?" She stared at Qin Luyan with a smile, and said generously.
