Repairing the walls was undoubtedly a huge expense, requiring everything from wood, stone, and manpower.

Although there are no veins around Luofeng Mountain, ordinary stones can still be mined.

As for the wood, the Huoyun wood planted in the mountain behind the city lord's mansion is a more distinctive product of the closed city.

Fire Cloud Wood contains fire attributes, but it is magically very tough and durable, which is very suitable for staff weapons, etc., which can not only speed up the condensation of fire attributes, but also increase the power of attacks.

Ling Xi had ordered people to mine the Fire Cloud Wood, some of which was used to repair the city walls, some of which was used to craft weapons, and the rest was stored or sold.

As for the construction of the beast training field and the spirit animal garden, it is already a post for hiring craftsmen.

The people of the city were overjoyed, but they felt that life had been much better this year, and the lord of the city not only bought grain and seeds at market prices, but also gave them an errand.

Not only that, but as long as you work hard to cultivate, you can join the City Guard!

Although the remuneration of the city guards is not high, they can practice in the martial arts hall, and they still have the opportunity to experience and get battle pets, and they can eat the secret spirit meat of the city lord, and it is no longer a dream to become stronger.

After the members of the city guard practice every day, they go to their own posts to work.

When the guard is changed, whether it is the logistics team or the hunting team, they will go to the wooden shed to try to tame the spirit beast. If there is no suitable spirit beast, they will also go to Luofeng Mountain to hunt demon beasts in groups of three or five.

Over time, more and more demon beasts in the Qi Refining Period were captured, and the eyes of the city guards had changed from the Demon Beasts in the Qi Refining Period to the Foundation Building Period!

It's a pity that most people's strength doesn't allow it, so they have to practice hard and hard.

Seeing that the day of the January assessment was approaching, everyone found that while they were doing penance, the lord of the city seemed to be "not doing his job" every day???

You must know that the city lord is a one-in-a-million twin spirit root, and he is the pride of the closed city, so don't geniuses need to cultivate?

Otherwise, why do you indulge in the spiritual garden and the back kitchen every day?

Could it be that this is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?

When everyone was puzzled, Ling Canghai had already rushed to the Spirit Garden in a hurry, and pulled Ling Xi, who was burying his head in hoeing, to practice in the martial arts hall.

Ling Xi looked confused, and when he saw that the second uncle looked like he hated iron but not steel, he instantly understood.

It's just - she has all five elements in vain, what is she cultivating?

"Yun'er, you must know that you are now the lord of a city, how can you not have strength? The lowest-level city lords have all attained the Dan, and according to your qualifications, you will definitely be able to break through the Dan this year! ”

“……”

With that, Ling Canghai suddenly rose to coercion, and a monstrous sense of oppression rushed straight to Ling Xi's head.

At that moment, she thought she was dying!

If it weren't for the improvement in her physique in the past three months, she would have fallen to her knees at this time.

Seeing that the "eldest nephew" suddenly turned pale, Ling Canghai didn't have time to ask, Ling Xi had already been taken away by Uncle Ling.

"Second master, Madame has something important to ask the young master, forgive the old slave for being rude."

After speaking, Ling Xi was already taken away.

Ling Xi took a long breath at this time, she was a mortal with a physical body under the coercion of the cultivators of the Yudan stage, and at this moment her whole body was already weak, and her steps were vain.

Uncle Ling sent her to Mrs. Ling's house and waited outside the door.

Ling Xi looked dazed, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother with a distressed and angry face.

“…… Mother, what's wrong? ”

"Xi'er, let's stop messing around, okay?"

The pleading between her tones made Ling Xi tremble, did she do something wrong?
