Dawn breaks.

When the sun rises over the eastern horizon, it illuminates the earth, dispelling the cold of the night, and a new day begins.

Li Ba sat shirtless on the roof of the building, facing the rising sun, breathing and pranayama, exercising and cultivating. The Great Yan Jue operated, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that traveled around seemed to be summoned to gather and turn into little crystals and burrow into the body.

At the same time, he held a crystal nucleus in each hand, and the inner yuan power was also continuously extracted, flowing along the flesh and blood meridians to the lower abdomen dantian.

In the dantian position, the spiritual light flickered, and a talisman was quietly suspended. A little bit of crystal lingering, as if it is constantly refining this talisman. The white aura emitted by the original rune began to change subtly in color under the tempering, and began to glow with a faint yellow light. The complex runes loomed, and the ancient atmosphere came out, which was particularly mysterious.

With the passage of time, the yellow light on the surface of the rune became more and more abundant...... Until a certain moment, this mysterious talisman had completely turned dark yellow, and it shrank and shrank in the dantian, and the majestic yuan force puffed out, moistening the flesh and blood meridians of Li Ba's body, and his bones also erupted with a crisp sound like fried beans.

"Phew—"

At this time, Li Ba opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity. There was indescribable surprise on his face.

Yuan Fu two products!

After these days of hard cultivation, there was finally a breakthrough, and the natal talisman was promoted to the second grade realm. The grade of the Yuan rune has been improved, the attainment of drawing and carving has risen, and its physique has also been greatly transformed.

At this moment, Li Ba's bare upper body, with round skin, seems to be plated with a layer of porcelain enamel, and under the rising sun, it glows with a faint luster similar to jade.

Stand up. The third-level green crystal in his hand had long since turned to ashes. Li Ba didn't care, his fists clenched. With a sudden lift, there was a 'pop' cracking sound from the bones all over the body again. He stomped on his feet. The whole person actually rose from the ground and jumped to a height of six or seven meters before falling.

"I'm afraid my current physique is not much weaker than that of a second-level evolutionary!"

Li Ba was overjoyed. Cultivating the Great Yan Technique has greatly improved his physique, and it is an all-round improvement in strength, speed, and agility. Now, even without the help of any external forces, he is confident that he can face the second-level evolutionary without falling behind.

If you keep cultivating, when the natal talisman reaches the peak of the ninth grade. It's hard to imagine how terrifying your physique will be at that time!

After a night, although there was no sleep, under the effect of cultivating the Great Yan Jue, Li Ba was not tired at all, but was full of energy and full of strength.

I looked at my watch, and it was already nine o'clock. Walk to the edge of the roof and look out. The lake ripples in the distance. The lotus leaves are embellished, and the lotus flowers with the size of the grinding plate exude an attractive fragrance that drifts away with the wind.

Two little kids are swimming naked. Accompanied by a large golden serpent. From time to time, I dived into the bottom of the lake, my head poked out, and hid among the lotus leaves. Suddenly launched a sneak attack, spitting at the two little boys. Not to be outdone, the two children were not to be outdone. When you find out about the enemy, you immediately pick up a water gun and fight back. Next to a dinghy. The hairy monkey is even more fully armed, with all kinds of water gun toys hanging on its body, squeaking and squeaking, helping the two little children to deal with the big snake together.

The sound of laughter and slapstick spread on the surface of the lake, unrestrained and full of joy.

This is the godson and goddaughter, and the hairy monkey golden cub must carry out the exercise program every morning, and I will never get tired of it. The golden young Jiao is reluctant to leave the bracelet space, but he likes the artificial lake of the farm very much. The reason is that the artificial lake contains a spiritual spring, and a large number of mutated lotus roots are planted, and the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are dense, and the water quality is excellent. There are also countless delicious big fish, which is simply the most beautiful home for the golden juvenile.

Although the bracelet space is good, the area of the stone trough is limited. The artificial lake is wide enough for it to swim with its hands and feet. In addition, there are little playmates to play, which is even more fun.

It is worth mentioning that after a period of time to get along. Tensions between the golden cub and the hairy monkey eased, and they were not as hostile to each other as they used to be. However, as long as there is a chance, the two guys will still be on the bar. For example, now, as long as they are playing games, the hairy monkey must help the two little children to deal with the golden baby together.

It's just that the golden young Jiao was born to be the king of the waters. Swim freely in the water of the lake and be nimble. Spit is even more accurate, with one against three, you can easily win every time. Although the hairy monkey is competitive, the water is not good, so it can only be pursued with the help of yachts. Under normal circumstances, after a game, this thing will be wet with monkey hair, like a chicken in soup, and the fiasco will end.

Although he loses every time, the hairy monkey has fun and never gets tired of it.

In the courtyard and on the big trees, dozens of big birds are falling, all of them are shedding their feathers. These guys have been following the stone to clear the corpses, and they have just returned to their lair not long ago, and they have become what they are now.

According to what the old squid said, they ate too many high-grade crystal nuclei some time ago, and now the effect is showing signs of collective advancement.

Among them, the big flower sheds the most fiercely, and the gorgeous feathers are about to fall off, and it has become a dehaired chicken again. Its lover Eagle Owl does not dislike it, and accompanies it, never leaving an inch.

Under the bird's nest, a kennel made of wooden planks, the fire lion lies inside, with a languid expression and a high belly. Xiao Hei shook his head and tail beside him, and served diligently. It can be regarded as fighting for the owner of Li Ba, doing it during the day and at night, and finally leaving the seed.

Now the fire lion is pregnant. Li Ba is looking forward to the birth of this litter of puppies, and he doesn't know if he will inherit his mother's red mastiff bloodline, or show his father's Chinese pastoral dog characteristics...... Or it can be directly hybridized, and both have both characteristics.

It doesn't matter what the bloodline is, as long as it's a mutant dog. Li Ba imagined in his heart that one day he was hunting with a group of dogs, and with an order, hundreds of mutant dogs as big as lions swarmed up. Even if it is a powerful prey, I am afraid it will not be able to parry.

"Xiaojie, it's time for the boss to finish his cultivation, go and call him down for breakfast!"

Under the shade of the trees, the table is filled with delicious food. Si Jiyue was busy with a big belly. Zhou Yan's lower abdomen also showed a pregnant state. Liang Jie helped bring breakfast. After his sister-in-law left, he has been guarding the boss closely, and he is loyal.

When Liang Jie turned around and was about to go to the roof to call Li Ba for breakfast, Li Ba had already jumped down and was agile. Landing silently.

"Little one, you're getting taller again!"

Li Ba smiled and patted Liang Jie's shoulder. As he said. Liang Jie has reached the age of development, plus the physique of an evolutionary. Recently skyrocketed in the body. Now he is 1.7 meters tall, and he looks like a little adult.

Liang Jie scratched his head, and his childish face looked a little embarrassed.

The natal talisman was promoted, Li Ba was in a good mood, and teased again: "In a few days, when your brother Jian is free, let him take you to Hongguan Street for a walk...... Men, no matter how old or young, some things have to be enlightened early. ”

Hongguan Street!

Liang Jie swallowed and foamed. With a frightened face, he stammered: "Old, boss, my sister her, she won't let ......"

"She won't let you go secretly...... If you can't do it again, I'll take you with me someday. ”

Li Ba forced a smile and continued to tease the little guy.

When Liang Jie was at a loss and didn't know what to do, the savior came. Si Jiyue glared at Li Ba fiercely. scolded: "Dead fatty, don't take Xiaojie badly!" ”

"I'm kidding Xiaojie!"

When the came, where did Li Ba dare to talk nonsense, and beckoned Liang Jie to come over for breakfast.

A couple of little ones who had water fights also returned. All of them were wet. After drying off, start eating breakfast. There are seats for all of them, including hairy monkeys and golden cubs. Merely. They have different breakfasts, with the hairy monkeys eating mutated fruits. As for the breakfast of the golden young Jiao. It is a large pot full of spiritual springs.

“…… Brother Shi summoned the news, and the clearance operation north of Hui Province went smoothly. So far, ten more settlements have opened up commercial lines, and the headquarters is requested to immediately send caravans to settle in. In addition, the supply of ammunition is tight, and it is necessary to deploy and replenish it immediately. ”

"In terms of surrounding the lake, Brother Wen Hao sent news that in Shengqiao Town, fifty kilometers away from Qianchuan County, a large number of corpses were found to have gathered, with a scale of 200,000, which was suspected to have migrated from Nanchao City...... Please ask the headquarters to send more people to eliminate this group of corpses! ”

According to the old rules, Liang Jie quickly finished breakfast and came behind Li Ba to report the news from various places and ministries.

"Tell Shi to suspend the northern clean-up operation, go to Nanchao City to rest, and then unite with Wen Hao's men and horses to concentrate on eliminating the corpses in Shengqiao Town!"

Li Ba takes care of affairs while eating. With the strength of today's harvest trading house, it is not much of a problem to deal with a group of 200,000 corpses. He, the boss, can completely let go and let his subordinates solve it.

"Good!"

Liang Jie took a pen and recorded it. After that, continue to read other sources. Some of the things in Xibu City were directly transferred by Li Ba to the City Lord's Mansion where Han Xue was located. There are also some affairs belonging to the mercenary association, which are instructed by the president Si Jiyue.

“…… The evolution of all members was carried out smoothly, and some of the awakened joined the City Lord's Mansion and were incorporated into the city guard to which Yuan Dong belonged. There is also a large part of the mercenary team...... So far, not counting other settlements, there are more than 500 registered mercenary teams in Xibu City alone. The daily tasks released by the association are too monotonous, and the number is too small, which can no longer meet the needs of the major mercenary groups, so there are quite a lot of opinions! ”

Liang Jie read this, glanced at Si Jiyue, and continued: "Yesterday, there were seventy-two mercenary teams who jointly applied for the association's expansion of the task, and there were ...... They want to diversify the rewards they can get for completing missions, not only limited to the food stamp crystal nucleus, such as the Ironwood Tree Tree cultivated by the boss, the Hummingbird Sentinel, our in-house special combat uniform, etc., so as to expand the strength of the team. ”

"Yo, these guys have a lot of appetite!"

Si Jiyue smiled after hearing this, turned to look at Li Ba, her eyes flowed, and Jiao Didi shouted: "Fat man, what do you think?" ”

For the character of his woman, Li Ba knows best. As the saying goes, nothing is done to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief. Si Jiyue is the same, as long as she is gentle with herself, she will definitely ask for something.

"You are the boss of the Mercenary Association, what do you want, support your husband!"

Li Ba patted his chest and made a promise. Anyway, if you can't delay it, it's better to agree quickly, so as not to make the mad.

"That's pretty much it!"

Si Jiyue threw a wink, happy in her heart, and then said to Liang Jie: "Xiaojie, you go and talk to Min Rou, and let her immediately start the work of dividing the mercenary group." Don't these guys want good things, yes, as long as they have the ability to get enough points and reach a certain level, not to mention the Ironwood Tree Man and Hummingbird Sentinel, the talisman refined by the boss himself is no problem! ”

At this point, she looked at Li Ba, smiled and said, "My dear, go back and give me a list, what good things do you have, don't be reluctant to take them out!" “

"Small!"

Li Ba agreed very happily. The mercenary team is equally important to the development of Westport City. In order to boost the motivation of these mercenary teams, he came up with some good things, and it was not much of a problem.

It's just that if you want the ironwood tree man he cultivated with his own hands, as well as the talisman, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Li Ba took out a pen and paper, wrote down a line of item details, and marked the value proportion at the back. Later, he handed the list of items to Si Jiyue, and at the same time gave a proposal: "The tasks issued by the association are indeed a bit too simple. You can try to post some tasks that don't have specific requirements, as long as they can bring back valuable items or messages, they can be exchanged for points according to the size of the contribution value! ”

In this regard, Li Ba gave specific examples, such as finding a new settlement, finding one, and giving points to reward. If you have the ability to bring the survivors back to the city, you can also give rewards according to the number of heads. If you bring back certain professionals, the reward can be increased.

"Great idea!"

Si Jiyue's eyes lit up after hearing this. In my heart, I already have a complete plan. (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you BBQCPU for the reward, the first one is offered
