Human beings are in a state of deception, and immortality begins with the secret book of origami.

Chapter 417: Mu Lin, Trained as a Military Leader
Looking at the distressed face of Zhang Hemiao, the deputy commander of the Nongwuzu Army, the messengers from the surrounding legions did not continue to mock him or add insult to injury.

After all, they are comrades who have fought together. Although there is competition between them because they belong to different military camps, this competition is mostly benign.

At this time, someone comforted him:
"General He Miao, don't worry too much. I think that Master He Tian must have a deep meaning behind what he did."

"Yes, Nong Wu Zu was established by He Tian Tianshi. This is his hard work. No matter what, he will not put Nong Wu Zu in a disadvantageous position."

However, some people were comforting, while others, like Zhang Hemiao, had faces full of anxiety and distress.

At this time, Mo Feng from the Black Evil Legion and Cai Tiancheng from the Thunder Legion frowned and advised Zhang Hemiao.

"General He Miao, please be cautious."

"You gave up two years of resource quota just to get back Mu Lin. General, you have to think clearly. This concerns not only you, but also the Nongwuzu and the millions of people you protect."

It's no wonder that the Black Evil Legion and the Thunder Legion are anxious. The truth is, the Nong Wuzu are among them. The three of them are working together to fight against the invasion of demons and evil spirits.

And if the Nongwu Army fell, they on both sides would not be in a good situation either.

Therefore, not only were they not in the mood to mock, they were also trying their best to persuade Zhang Hemiao to think things through before making a decision.

In response, Zhang Hemiao spread his hands and sighed, "Stop talking. Do you think I didn't try? As soon as I got the order, I found Grandpa and persuaded him to change his mind... Using two years of military supply quota in exchange for the help of one person, this is too big a gamble."

"But there is no way. No matter how I persuade him, Grandpa won't listen."

These words made Mo Feng from the Black Evil Legion and Cai Tiancheng from the Thunder Legion at a loss for words.

They cannot question the decision of the Heavenly Master at will.

Just as they were hesitant to speak and wavering in their hearts, a voice suddenly rang out in the conference room.

"I see."

The person who spoke at this time was the envoy of the Dragon Elephant Army. After much thought, he actually figured out the reason why Zhang Hetian recruited Mu Lin.

"We all know that Tianshi Hetian's health is not good, so he urgently needs to train a successor. However, Tianshi is a realm that can only be achieved by chance, and it is not something that can be successfully cultivated just by saying so. In the world today, there is no one in the human race who can steadily advance to Tianshi except Mu Lin."

"Even our peerless genius in the North may not be able to advance to the Heavenly Master."

"But Mu Lin is different. His current strength may not be as good as the seven earthly immortals, but his potential is definitely better. He will suffer for a while now, but with the new Heavenly Master guarding him in the future, the Nong Wuzu will be stable."

"That's also the reason why he agreed to Mu Lin's conditions and treated him like a great man."

“Mr. Hetian, he is not recruiting subordinates for the Nongwu soldiers, but choosing a military leader for you.”

"..."

Such analysis sounds very reasonable. After hearing this, the Black Evil Legion and the Thunder Legion were at a loss as to how to persuade them anymore.

After all, this is the Nong Wuzu's own future plan, and they cannot interfere in the affairs of other legions at will.

But Zhang Hemiao's expression was still full of bitterness.

"I see. Is that what Grandpa is thinking? However, the future is indeed important, but without two years of resources, can we really survive these difficult days?"

……

Mu Lin had no idea what was happening in the Tianwu Grand Marshal's Mansion. At this moment, he was following the others and heading towards the north.

Traveling northward from the southeastern province, the first thing Mu Lin saw was prosperity.

Thousands of roads converge from all directions towards the center of the Daling Dynasty, making the imperial capital of the Daling Dynasty extremely prosperous. The population living in it exceeds tens of millions, making it a super large city.

Because there are no tall buildings, the area they occupy is larger than the capital city in Mu Lin’s previous life.

In addition to being huge, the city is also brightly lit, with thousands of lights that never go out all night long.

However, the prosperity of human civilization only reached the capital city.

After passing the capital, for a period of time at the beginning, what Mu Lin saw was relatively peaceful, it was the unique pastoral scenery of ancient times.

However, once you are away from the radiation range of the Great Spiritual Capital, everything is different.

At this time in the town, not only did they not dare to light any lights at night, let alone keep them on all night.

At this time, Mu Lin frequently saw demons, ghosts and evil spirits in the wild, in the countryside, and even in towns.

In this area, humans and demons and monsters already live together.

Fortunately, humans still have the Demon Suppression Bureau. However, their efforts only make the daytime belong to humans. At night, demons and monsters take the upper hand.

The situation here is still not the worst.

Going further north, Mu Lin discovered with a sigh that there were no more villages in the northern wilderness.

There is no crowing of roosters for thousands of miles, and bones are exposed in the wild. This is the true portrayal of the northern wilderness.

There are also demons that gather in groups and occupy some ruined mountain villages, barren mountains, and even some ruined towns.

The power of mankind is now concentrated in some big cities.

Only the towns guarded by numerous formations can barely resist some threats for humans in the north.

But towns need to be supported by the countryside.

Without towns and large resource points, the environment in the north is naturally extremely bad, and the shortage of resources is also very serious.

"No wonder the northern nobles decided to move south, and so many of them took the initiative to get involved in the forbidden power... It is indeed not possible for ordinary people to survive in such an environment."

Mu Lin felt sad about the tragic fate of the people in the Northern Wilderness, but soon his sadness disappeared and turned into excitement.

“The human race in the Northern Wilderness is indeed miserable, but now, I am here!”

"Let me integrate the yin and yang order of the Northern Wilderness and bring peace and prosperity to the human race."

Just like that, with great ambition, Mu Lin came to the center of Northern Wilderness, Tianwu City.

As soon as he entered the town, Mu Lin was noticed by some people.

When they saw him, some people looked at him with admiration, while others looked at him strangely and said something secretly.

"That's Mu Lin? The Mu Lin who occupies seven shares of the Earthly Immortal?"

"I think he's just ordinary, right?"

"Do you think that the Nongwuzu can survive this time?"

"I hope they can hold on. Otherwise, our northern defense line will be very troublesome and difficult to maintain, whether we shrink it or send people there..."

When Mu Lin came into the city, many people talked about him.

Before Mu Lin could figure out what was going on, a middle-aged woman with a distressed look on her face appeared in front of Mu Lin.

"You are Master Mu Lin, right?"

"Ah you are?"

Unlike the graceful young girl that Mu Lin had seen in the southeastern water town, the middle-aged woman who appeared in front of Mu Lin had a very strong figure.

In Mu Lin's opinion, she did not look like a monk, but more like a middle-aged woman working in the fields.

However, although her image is not very good, her aura is extremely strong.

"It's actually a terrestrial immortal, a terrestrial immortal from the Northern Wasteland, and a woman, are they all dressed like this?"

Looking around, Mu Lin soon discovered that the woman in front of him was special. Although the girls in the north did not have the tenderness of the girls in the southeastern water towns, they were also hot and slender, generous and unrestrained, and there were not many with "robust" bodies.

"So, is it because of the technique?"

While Mu Lin was guessing, the woman in front of him had already told him the name.

"I'm Zhang Hemiao. Grandpa should have mentioned me to you. From now on, I will accompany you on your trip to the North."

"Do you want to hang out in Tianwu City, or go directly back to the Nongwuzu's base?"

Hearing this inquiry, Mu Lin did not answer immediately, but asked directly: "What about my conditions, do you agree to them?"

To be honest, Mu Lin himself felt that the conditions he proposed were excessive.

If they agree to do everything according to their own wishes, many people will inevitably be dissatisfied.

As for Mu Lin, he came to the north with the idea of ​​starting a new business.

That is, relying on personal strength, independently conquering an area, and then slowly expanding and developing.

Not intending to rely on others, Mu Lin deliberately exaggerated his own conditions.

And he was also prepared for his request even if no one agreed to it.

However, soon, something happened that surprised Mu Lin.

Zhang Hemiao: "I know everything. Nong Wuzu also agreed."

"..."

"Are you sure?" Looking directly at Zhang Hemiao, Mu Lin said quietly, "Let me make this clear first. If you don't want to agree, it's actually okay. Master Hetian has helped me a lot. If no one invites me, I will take over an area near your base and help you. This kind of cooperation should be good for both you and me."

"But if you let me join and then don't listen to me, it would be a deception to me."

Mu Lin didn't say the rest, but Zhang Hemiao already understood what he meant.

"I know, but please rest assured. Although some of the Nongwuzu do not understand grandfather's ideas, his orders are absolute. We will do our best to complete what he ordered."

Mu Lin: "...That's good, let's go directly to your base. You can watch Tianwu City at any time."

"Okay, let's go now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she shouted and dozens of strong men came running over. Then, they all boarded a magic shuttle and headed straight for the Nong Wuzu’s base.

However, before flying away, Mu Lin also saw the flags of other teams.

Soon, he discovered that the monks in those teams were all carrying large and small bags of things, and there were many monks following them. However, in his team, he was the only one. This made Mu Lin curious and asked.

"I remember that Tianwu City is the center of the Northland. Most resources are distributed from here. And the first stop for cultivators who come to the Northland from other regions is also Tianwu City. It shouldn't be easy for you to come here. Don't you want to get some resources here or invite some people?"

This was Mu Lin's sincere question, and then he found that after asking this question, the Nong Wuzu people looked at him with complicated eyes.

After a long while, one of them finally spoke up, "Why do you think we don't take the resources and invite others?"

"Huh?" This reaction made Mu Lin stunned for a moment: "You didn't invite other people, it can't be related to me, right?"

"It's you. I invited you to join the team. Our two-year resource quota has been used up. For the next two years, we can only fight on our own and bear everything on our own."

"..."
