I built a fairy city in troubled times

Chapter 2 Breakthrough
Xia Ming didn't expect that just by taking in some refugees, his talent would actually increase.

"It seems that I have really completed the task assigned to me by Emperor Daqian!"

The talent of the predecessor can be said to be very poor, otherwise, the Huangcheng Hou Mansion would not have any successors.

Moreover, what surprised him the most was that he actually signed up a very precious military training method.

General exercises require suitable talents to practice.

If it is asymmetrical, at least it will be difficult to make any progress in cultivation, and at worst, it will lead to obsession and even death.

But this military training method is different.

It is a technique that anyone can practice.

It is simple to understand and very easy to use.

Only some big forces have these.

Their Huangcheng Hou Mansion has a military training method, but it is not popular.

It is said that the Daqian royal family relied on the Huang-level military training methods to suppress one side.

If a powerful skill can create a strong man, then a military training skill can create a powerful force.

Only with strong power can we live well in this troubled world.

All this was too tempting for Xia Ming.

"Since we are here to open up wasteland, it is a good time to develop our power and improve our cultivation!"

Xia Ming instantly felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Then, I tried to start practicing.

The martial arts in this world are divided into yellow level, Xuan level, earth level, and heaven level from low to high. As for the emperor level, it may be too advanced. Even Xia Ming himself has never heard of it.

However, this also made him more motivated.

Immediately began to try to operate the technique. According to the system introduction, the "Three Emperors Reflect the World Technique" is a technique created by the three top human emperors in the world. When it is completed, it can reflect the world and is powerful. Incomparable.

Back then, some people relied on this magic formula to suppress all races and make them the protagonists of the world.

Naturally, it is an immortal technique.

When Xia Ming first started practicing, he felt that the energy traveling around him was constantly gathering towards him.

From the pores of the body, golden rays of light burst out.

The physical body gradually changes.

Become more compact and flexible.

Compared with the past cultivation speed, I really know how many times faster it is.

Unknowingly, the afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.

When Xia Ming opened his eyes, he felt that his whole body was full of strength.

[Name: Xia Ming]

[Affiliated force: Huangcheng]

[Subjects: 510 people (talent +0.1)]

[Talent: 4 (ordinary level, inferior talent)]

[Cultivation: Body Tempering Realm (42%)]

[Kung Fu: Imperial Kung Fu "Three Emperors Reflecting the World"]

"In one afternoon, I was promoted directly from the early stage of body tempering to the middle stage of body tempering!" The increase in talent and the more advanced skills allowed Xia Ming to take a big step forward in his cultivation.

"Gollum!"

Hearing noises from his stomach, he felt hungry at the same time.

Just after the breakthrough, a large amount of Qi and blood need to be replenished.

As a marquis, even though he came to a wild land, he still had no worries about food and drink.

He stood up and walked towards the door.

The deserted city at night is quite beautiful. The temperature is neither cold nor hot. There are trees and vegetation growing around it that are different from those outside. It looks quite novel.

"Master Marquis, the food is ready!" As soon as he walked out of the house, a figure hurriedly greeted him.

This is an old man, wearing a gray robe, and he is quite tall.

The hair has turned gray.

But his spirit is quite good.

From the slightly curved nose tip and deep-set eye sockets, it can be seen that this person is not easy to get along with.

When he stood next to Xia Ming, his eyes were bright.

This is the steward of the Hou Mansion and one of Xia Ming's retainers. His status in the Hou Mansion is extraordinary.

[Name: Baili Zhe]

[Favorability: 95% (loyal and willing to sacrifice his life for the host)]

[Skills: Xuan-level low-grade "Cangming Jue", "Blood Drinking Claw", "Xuanming Palm"]

[Cultivation: True Yuan Realm]

[Fate: Cyan (Eagle Flying into the Sky)]

[Talent: 6+0.1 (Ordinary level (low posture)]

The realm of true essence can be said to be very strong. The realm of Daqian, from low to high, is divided into five realms: body tempering, bone forging, blood removal, true essence, Gang Qi, Xiantian, and Qi entrainment (five realms). Juding (Three Realms) Condensing Pill Realm.

If you reach the Dan Condensation realm, your lifespan can reach five hundred.

This is the most eye-catching thing, but in Daqian, such a cultivation level has become a legendary existence. It is said that it can only be found in the immortal sect, but Xia Ming has never seen it.

The strongest person today is said to be a master in the Juding Realm.

In the army, true energy can control ten thousand people. It can definitely be regarded as a master of one party. One can defeat a thousand. If it reaches Xiantian, then it can take the head of a general among thousands of armies.

His father was a strong man in the Qi-inducing realm back then, so he was able to secure the position of Marquis.

Therefore, it is not unusual to have a retainer in the True Yuan realm.

After Xia Ming understood the other party's attributes, he said with a smile.

"Then let's go eat!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Baili Zhe responded and quickly bent forward to lead the way.

Although Xia Ming came to Huangcheng, someone supervised the construction of the Marquis Mansion when he was on his way here, so it was not simple.

It consists of eight courtyards, including not only pavilions and pavilions, but also lakes and rockeries, and arrow towers on all sides.

There are soldiers standing guard in every courtyard.

The backyard is Xia Ming's residence, and the dining area is in front.

While walking on the road, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what if this happened in his previous life.

For such a big house, I don’t know how many lifetimes I will have to work hard to build it.

When he arrived, all the retainers of the Hou Mansion were already waiting.

When they saw Xia Ming arriving, they all stood up and bowed and said, "I've met the head of the family!"

Including Tie Lin and Bai Lizhe, there were five people in total. This was the precious wealth left to Xia Ming by the Marquis of Huangcheng.Then, the data panel appeared again.

[Name: Kuitie]

[Favorability: 95% (loyal and willing to sacrifice his life for the host)]

[Skills: Xuan-level low-grade "Ironmaking Technique" and "Tiangang 36 Hammer"]

[Cultivation: Blood Moving Realm]

[Fate: Cyan (unique and talented)]

[Talent: 6+0.1 (Ordinary level (low posture)]

This is a weaponsmith who can forge sophisticated weapons.

[Name: Zhang Mu]

[Favorability: 95% (loyal and willing to sacrifice his life for the host)]

[Skills: Xuan-level low-grade "Hunyuan Jin" and "Greed Wolf Sword Technique"]

[Cultivation: True Yuan Realm]

[Fate: Cyan (Tiger in the Cage)]

[Talent: 8+0.1 (Ordinary level (low posture)]

This is the guard commander of the Hou Mansion. He was once a captain of ten thousand men in the elite army of Daqian. He was almost beheaded for offending his superior. After Xia Ming's father saved him, he has been working in the Hou Mansion ever since.

Back then, before he died of illness, Lao Huangcheng Marquis once said that if Zhang Mu had not been framed, his future would be limitless, and it would be a good idea to become a marquis and become a general.

[Name: Li Jun]

[Favorability: 95% (loyal and willing to sacrifice his life for the host)]

[Skills: Xuan-level low-grade "Lihuo Jue" and "Flame Mahamudra"]

[Cultivation: True Yuan Realm]

[Fate: Cyan (Fire of the Golden Furnace)]

[Talent: 9+0.1 (Ordinary level (low posture)]

Li Jun is the alchemist of the Hou Mansion, responsible for refining elixirs. Even when the old Hou was alive, he was very polite to him.

"You are all my elders. I will rely on you all in the future. Don't be polite. Come and eat!"

The food in the Hou Mansion is quite good, especially the meat, which is the flesh and blood of raised monster beasts, but it is only enough for the senior officials of the Hou Mansion.

Xia Ming picked up a piece of meat and started eating it.

Just after the breakthrough, he was very hungry.

When he finished eating the piece of meat, he realized that everyone was still looking at him, wiped his hands, and said with some embarrassment, "Is there something wrong with everyone?"

"Master Marquis, our food is limited. When we came, we only brought 1000 shi. The people in the fiefdom, plus the people from the Marquis' mansion, totaled more than [-] people. Moreover, the warriors have a lot of food. If they are full, these [-] shi will be counted. The stone grain is enough for us for three months, which is the time of summer harvest.

Now that there are [-] more refugees, things are stretched thin. Although we can find ways to buy them, the world is in chaos now, and the price of food outside changes almost every day.

The price is rising every day. If we continue to accept refugees, our Marquis Mansion may not be able to afford the supply! " Baili Zhe said carefully after organizing his speech for a while.

In his opinion, with this money and food, it is better to recruit some experts. In this case, the Hou Mansion will be stronger, and ordinary refugees are really not of much use.

And this kind of thinking is also the common thinking of all the high-ranking people in Daqian today. They regard ordinary people as ants and don't care at all.

For a moment, the entire restaurant fell into silence.

A moment later, Kui Tie's dull voice also sounded, "Master Hou, that foolish king sent us here, and I feel really uncomfortable after doing what he said."

He was two meters tall and tall. When he was sitting on the chair, he was as tall as an ordinary person standing. His hands were very thick due to swinging hammers all the time. When placed on the table, they looked like two cattail fans. .

However, in the middle of Kuitie's words, he was interrupted by Xia Ming with a wave of his hand, "I have my own opinion on this matter, please help me!"

He knew that if he was reasonable, it would never make sense. If he didn't have a golden finger, he wouldn't accept refugees at will, but it's different now.

And the system couldn't tell others, so Xia Ming could only act arbitrarily.

"As you command!" Sure enough, as his voice fell, several retainers stood up and bowed.

As the head of the family, Xia Ming has the right to vote. The retainers can put forward their own opinions, but whether they adopt them or not is the family head's business. Their responsibility is to meticulously complete the tasks assigned by the family head.

"Eat!" Xia Ming continued to devour, and the other retainers also started to eat. A few who liked drinking even took out wine glasses and prepared to have a few drinks.

When he was [-]% full after a meal, Xia Ming opened the data panel in a vague manner.

[Name: Xia Ming]

[Affiliated force: Huangcheng]

[Subjects: 510 people (talent +0.1)]

[Talent: 4 (ordinary level, inferior talent)]

[Cultivation: Body Tempering Realm (42%)]

[Kung Fu: Imperial Kung Fu "Three Emperors Reflecting the World"]

[Congratulations to the host, for discovering four subordinates of Cyan Fate. The reward is a simple step armor production method (which allows warriors to withstand attacks from the Bone Forging Realm), and a rough Mo Dao forging method (which allows warriors to increase their attack power by 30%). ) Reward the method of refining the body tempering elixir, and reward the magical power of war "Empty City Strategy"]

Looking at the system rewards, Xia Ming had a calm expression on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart.

Armor and weapons are the most important equipment in the army.

Most of Daxia's warriors are ordinary people. Most of their armors are iron armors. Not to mention cultivators, even ordinary people with strong strength can break through them.

And this piece of human armor can actually resist the attack of the Bone Forging Realm. If it is placed outside, it can be called a treasure armor. At least for the imperial court, ordinary generals may not be able to wear it. And this Mo Dao, adding 30.00% lethality.

If the two work together, the warrior's attack power can be increased several times.

Let’s talk about the Body Tempering Pill. This kind of pill is taken by people in the Body Tempering Realm. As for the formula, only some aristocratic families related to the Immortal Cultivation Sect and the royal family in Daqian have it. It is definitely a strategic level material.

It can be said that just this elixir formula can create a big family in Daqian.

It's quite practical.

As for the magical power of the art of war, it seems to be very profound. Xia Ming needs to study this carefully after he returns.

With these, it would be impossible to develop this deserted city.

Then, after seeing that several retainers had almost eaten their meals.

He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, since we are here, we should make peace with ourselves. Although this place is in the wilderness, we still need to strengthen our family strength. Otherwise, how can we protect ourselves if the world is in chaos.

I have a few things here, please take a look at them! "

As he spoke, Xia Ming took out the "Array Breaking Sword Technique" and handed it to Zhang Mu's hands.

"This is a military training book. Don't we have three hundred soldiers? Tomorrow, we will teach it to improve our strength as soon as possible!" When Zhang Mu heard that it was a military training book, he immediately took the secret book over and said, When he saw that it was a high-level Huang rank, his thick palms trembled a little. This was the first time he had seen such an advanced technique.

Others also noticed something strange and immediately turned their attention. Xia Ming immediately took out the forging method of Bu Ren Jia and Mo Dao and sent it to Kui Tieshi. "Rebels are now rising everywhere." , horse bandits are rampant, we don’t have elite cavalry to deal with it, so we are going to let the soldiers change their equipment. This step of human armor, Mo Dao, and most of all, the Kena cavalry. If you want to forge it, what materials are needed and the cost is How many.

If possible, replace this equipment with our soldiers! "

Kuitie carefully took the two drawings in his hands and looked at them.

It could be seen from Zhang Mu's eyes just now that what the Marquis brought out was extraordinary.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Ming took out the recipe for the Body Tempering Pill. "Mr. Li, look at this. If you want to refine it, what medicinal materials are needed and how much does it cost?"

After Xia Ming took out the things in his hands, he began to close his eyes and rest.

As long as these things can be obtained, the foundation of the Hou Mansion will be many times deeper, and he will be able to protect himself.
