I open a farm in the world of cultivation

Wang Longling asked: "What is the situation of the monster beasts? Find out clearly. The foundation building elders will definitely ask about it when they come!"

The monk who reported the news replied: "I don't know about the beast tide. I think the elders are more informed than us. However, the first-level monster beasts in Linghu Lake have begun to gather. There are about hundreds of them. I don't know if there are second-level monster beasts!"

"Another situation is that the water level of Linghu Lake has begun to rise. It is suspected to be related to the beast tide!"

Wang Longling pondered: "Let's make some preparations first. Go and block all the rivers connecting Linghu Lake in the city. In addition, notify the city defense team and let them recruit mortals to build fortifications and raise the city walls. Especially those catapults and crossbows that can kill first-level monster beasts must be prepared."

Wang Longling has been the city lord for more than 50 years and has rich experience. Otherwise, the Wang family would not have transferred him to the newly developed Ruojun Mountain. The hardship is that these mortals have just migrated here not long ago. They have no time to spare for building houses, cities, and opening up wasteland. Now they have to deal with monster beasts again.

After Wang Hao and his companions killed all the monsters along the way, they arrived at Linghu City in the evening. Linghu City is backed by Linghu Lake, which is thousands of miles wide. It connects to the sea and the depths of Duanyuan Mountain through rivers. In addition, there are monsters living in Linghu Lake, which is the focus of Wang Hao's defense.

The Wang family also plans to manage Linghu Lake when building a city here. If it can be developed, it will be very profitable to breed spiritual fish, whether it is for internal consumption or external sales.

Wang Hao looked at the sparkling lake surface under the setting sun, and could see several big fish jumping out of the water. Some birds flew towards the setting sun to hunt. He thought that the setting sun and the lonely wild geese flew together, and the autumn water and the sky were the same color; this poem actually depicted a real scene.

When Wang Hao entered the city, he found it very lively. Many people carried stones on their shoulders and hands to transport them to the city walls. Various large machines were piled on the streets. Although mortals had little personal strength, they could still cause some damage to low-level monsters with the help of equipment. There were also people who practiced martial arts among mortals, and they were divided into innate and acquired. It was said that martial artists in the innate realm could also produce true qi in their bodies, and they could fight a tie with a cultivator of the fifth level of Qi training in close combat. However, cultivators of Qi training were the lowest existence in the world of immortal cultivation, and the innate realm was the highest realm among mortal warriors...

Wang Wenyan sighed: "It seems that the family still values ​​this place."

"When I passed by Linghu Lake just now, I found that there was spiritual energy overflowing in the lake. There might be spiritual veins of the second level or above at the bottom of the lake, which is most suitable for breeding spiritual fish or planting aquatic spiritual herbs. The family probably values ​​this point," said Zhu Shan, who had pursued Wang Wenyan for nearly ten years and finally got her back. Now he has also married into the Wang family.

Wang Hao glanced at the couple and said, "Brother-in-law has experience in breeding spiritual fish. You may want to investigate this time. When the beast tide is over, you two can run a fishery here!"

Zhu Shan was able to marry into the Wang family not only because he won Wang Wenyan's heart, but also because of his ability to breed fish.

Zhu Shan nodded quickly: "Respect the elder's order, I will investigate carefully!"

Zhu Shan has always been serious about etiquette. Wang Wenyan has told him several times, but he never dared to cross the line. Wang Hao also likes such clear-headed people. He nodded and led everyone into the city.

In the distance, Wang Longling also hurried over with two other garrison monks. Seeing Wang Hao, the leader, he bowed and said loudly: "Linghu City Lord Wang Longling, meet the elders and seniors."

Wang Hao helped him up and said, "We are all family, the city lord is not polite!"

"Thank you, elder," Wang Longling stood up.

"Seniors, you have been traveling for a whole day. Please follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to rest." Wang Longling said respectfully. He was the lord of Linghu City, a local emperor, but in front of Wang Hao and others, he had a flattering face. Although he had no hope in the path of Taoism, he was a cultivator after all. Even if his wives and concubines were mortals, there was a high chance that his offspring would have spiritual roots. Once there were offspring with good spiritual roots, they would still have to be sent back to the family for training. At that time, he would need to ask for someone to take care of him. Otherwise, why would he act like this!

The City Lord's Mansion of Linghu City is located on a first-class spiritual vein. The spiritual energy is still sufficient, enough for several Qi training cultivators to use, but not for Wang Hao. It's okay to absorb some to restore the true essence in times of crisis. If he does this at other times, it won't take long for the spiritual vein to be degraded by Wang Hao's excessive spiritual energy extraction.

Wang Longling led everyone to the luxurious City Lord's Mansion, walked through the main hall to the backyard, pointed to a row of side rooms and said: "Elder, this is the room with the richest spiritual energy in Linghu City, and the center of the city defense formation is also here."

"Thank you for your trouble," Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then let Wang Wenmei and others allocate rooms by themselves.

After Wang Wenmei and others left, Wang Longling said again: "Elder, I have prepared a welcoming banquet. Do you want to move to the main hall?"

Wang Hao also wanted to try some ordinary food, so he nodded and said: "Then I will trouble the City Lord."

"It should be, it should be." Wang Longling smiled and stood aside waiting for Wang Wenmei and others to come back.

The corridor twists and turns, passing through exquisite and gorgeous buildings. Along the way, some beautiful young women in uniform greeted and greeted. They were all maids in the City Lord's Mansion. Wang Hao thought to himself that Wang Longling really knows how to enjoy himself. I'm afraid this maid must have gone through an audition to become one.

Chapter 75 Wang Longling

After a while, they arrived at a hall. Standing at the door was a young man in his thirties. Wang Hao recognized him and he had received him at the city gate. Wang Longling introduced him, "Elder, this is one of my sons. He has poor spiritual roots, so he follows me to handle the affairs of the city."

"Wang Yanjing greets all the elders, seniors!" Logically speaking, they are older than Wang Hao and his friends, but given their status, how dare they pretend to be elders!

The two of them welcomed Wang Hao and the others into the main hall with smiles on their faces. There were carved beams and painted pillars. There was a screen behind the main seat with paintings of flowers and birds, which was quite elegant. Several dining tables were also made of sandalwood, which was of little value in the mortal world. Fei, Wang Hao has opened his eyes, but this kind of wood without spirituality is worthless to immortal cultivators.

"Elder, please take a seat!"

Wang Hao was not polite and sat on the main table and chair.

Wang Longling and Wang Yanjing invited others to take their seats. The two of them sat on the right side of Wang Hao. They raised their wine glasses and said, "Thank you elders and seniors for coming to defend against the monster!"

Wang Hao drank it all in one gulp, poured another glass, and said: "You're welcome, we are all working for the family. You two have worked hard running the Mortal City. I would like to propose a toast to you two!"

After chatting for a while, Wang Longling asked the maid to serve dishes, which were all fresh from the lake, with most of the products from the water.

"Seniors, Linghu has only been developed for a short period of time. I don't know the specific output of the lake yet. I only found a few of them near the lake. They are quite delicious. Please try them!" Wang Longling said apologetically.

Wang Hao looked at the table of food. In his previous life, there was no way that even a few thousand people could eat it.

The spiritual energy is quite strong, and it should be several first-order spiritual objects.

Wang Longling successively introduced:

"This is swordfish. It has a long and thin body, tender and transparent meat, and an excellent taste. Eating it will help monks during their Qi training period!"

"Linghu crabs grow very slowly, but they are rich in spiritual energy. The crab shells can also be used as materials for first-level low-grade magic weapons. I suggest that the family can raise some in captivity in the future. I believe the benefits will not be low."

"There are also spiritual clams, whose meat can be eaten. What's even more precious is that they can produce spiritual plants. The spiritual power contained in the spiritual plants is several times higher than that of their flesh. My subordinates have done a brief research, and currently they only know that they can delay aging. , the role of lasting youth!”

Wang Hao smiled softly. This thing can be developed and sold to those female cultivators who love beauty. It should be as profitable as the cosmetics in the previous life.

"The city lord is interested, please drink this cup!" Several people pushed the cup and changed the cup for a while, and then Wang Hao said: "Everyone, let's discuss the matter of the monster beasts. This time the beast tide in Duanyuan Mountain will be the main force. After Yuanmen is resolved, there are several other points that come to our side to attack first. The danger faced by Linghu City is still mainly from Linghu and the water monsters coming from Duanyuan Mountain! Has the city lord made preparations?"

Wang Longling said hurriedly: "My subordinates and ordered people to heighten the city wall and block the river entering the city, and also prepare some weapons to deal with the first-level monsters. However, ordinary people are weak and can only deal with some low-level monsters. The second-level monsters also need you." Senior takes action!”

"It's natural. It's pretty good for mortals to be able to deal with some low-level monsters!" Wang Hao said: "We have brought a lot of talismans this time and will share some with you later. It is not a problem to resist some second-order low-level monsters. If there are second-level high-grade monsters, we can deal with them if we have the support of a large formation. As long as the third-order monsters don’t come, we will be safe!”

"If there are third-level monsters, you don't have to panic. As long as you activate this communication talisman, Ruojunshan's support will arrive in a moment!" Wang Hao still wanted to appease them, but the third-level monsters are several of the Wang family's architects. You may not be able to defeat it even with all your strength. If it really comes, you can only run away!

Everyone discussed for a while before leaving.

Wang Hao finally said: "The city lord can instruct the mortals to continue to strengthen the city wall. Others can have a good rest and stay in top condition to deal with the attack of monsters at any time!"

"Yes, follow the elder's orders!"

…

Two days later, Wang Hao used Xuanyin spirit liquid to temper his body in the room. He could not practice, but the physical training did not rely much on spiritual energy, so he could still perform it.

At the same time, in a magnificent room, Wang Longling was sitting in a high position, listening to Wang Yanjing's report.

"Father, I have found out clearly that this foundation-building elder is named Wang Wenhao. He ranks fifth. He is the first foundation-building monk in the literary generation. Moreover, he is also an alchemist and has made great contributions to the family. It is said that the last time our ancestors He almost became the new head of the clan after giving up his position as clan leader!"

"What? Almost became the head of the family?" Wang Longling stood up in shock and took a few steps forward. "This person has achieved such great achievements at such a young age. He will definitely be the one to decide the future of the Wang family!"

Wang Yanjing said: "It doesn't matter in the future, the new head of the family is this man's father. Now it can be said that the Wang family has been controlled by his father and son!" His tone was a bit sour. They are both father and son, why can they only be among the mortals? The king dominates, but he is leading a family of immortal cultivators!

Wang Longling was silent for a long time and then said: "This person must be won over so that Wenxian's path can go more smoothly."

"But how can ordinary things impress the foundation-building monks? We might as well win over the other Qi-refining elders..."

"How do you know if you don't try? Go and get the righteous lotus stored in the secret vault, and I'll pay it a visit in person?"

"That Zhengqi Lotus is a second-level elixir worth hundreds of spiritual stones. If you sell it, you can buy a lot of elixirs for Wenxian!" Wang Yanjing's face was full of pain. With their small salary, they can't even take a few elixirs a year. , I finally found a second-level elixir in Linghu, and I still want to give it away. How can I let it go?

"Stupid, short-sighted! Even if I can exchange for a few bottles of spirit-gathering pills, how long will I be able to cultivate as a literary immortal? Can I advance to the later stage of Qi training? Can I build a foundation?"

"Wenxian has three spiritual roots, and it is possible to build a foundation, but no one in the family takes care of her. How will it be her turn? Do you think there is harmony in the family?"

"And this person has a very high status in the family. Not only does he take good care of him, but even if he asks Wenxian a few words, other clan members don't dare to embarrass Wenxian!"

Wang Longling calmed down after a scolding: "You and I have no hope in this life, but Wenxian has. Maybe there will be other descendants with spiritual roots in the future. Wenxian can only take care of others after he has established a firm foothold! It's just a righteousness, I'm afraid that others will look down on it, but you are reluctant to give it up!"

"I understand," Wang Yanjing said with a drooping face, "I'll get it now!"

After a while, Wang Yanjing brought back a jade box, Wang Longling put it in his arms, and rushed to Wang Hao's room. Wang Hao had just finished his work when he saw a figure appear at the door of the room.

"Elder, are you free? I have something to ask you!"

After opening the door, Wang Longling stood there respectfully and apologized: "It's my fault for disturbing the elder's practice!"

Wang Hao said lightly: "It's okay. The spiritual energy here is thin. It's not easy to practice. It's nothing to sit here. What's the matter with the city lord?"

Wang Longling hesitated and looked inside.

"Oh, the city lord, please go in first," Wang Hao thought that this person was timid and was afraid that he had something to ask. At this critical moment of the beast tide, he must not make trouble!

When they got to the house, they sat down. Wang Hao said straight to the point again: "City lord, if you have something to say, you can say it directly. This is my temper. I hope you don't mind!"

"How dare I? The elder can build a foundation at a young age. I think he spends all his time on practice. Ahem, look at me, I'm talking nonsense again..."

Chapter 76 The Beast Tide is Coming

You know you're talking nonsense and you still don't change?

Seeing Wang Hao's unhappy face, Wang Longling also had an embarrassed expression on his face and said, "I have a granddaughter named Wenxian. She is now just ten years old and has been sent to the clan school. She has the qualifications of three spiritual roots. I hope the elder can take care of her!" At the same time, he opened the jade box in his hand and pushed it in front of Wang Hao.

Wang Hao reached out to take it, and the farm suddenly lit up, "Hmm? New seeds, what a pleasant surprise!"

When he opened it, he found a piece of jade lotus root inside.

"Righteousness Lotus?"

Wang Longling quickly flattered him, "The elder is really knowledgeable. This thing was found by me in Linghu Lake. I know that the elder is an alchemist, so I specially presented it to the elder!"

This flattery was really right. Wang Hao really needed this Righteousness Lotus. When he practiced his Ice Muscle and Jade Bone Skill to the fifth level, he needed a kind of elixir called White Lotus Pill to assist in his practice. Its main ingredient was the lotus root produced by the six hundred-year-old Righteousness Lotus!

He was originally planning to go overseas to find it, but he actually got it today.

In this case, it is nothing to take care of Wang Longling's granddaughter. She is also from the literary generation, and she is my little sister!

Wang Hao said: "Well, this thing is still useful to me, so I will accept it; I am not often in the family, but I can still give her some advice, and I will also let someone take care of her, but the family has its own rules, whether she can become useful or not depends on herself!"

Wang Longling was overjoyed after hearing this, "I naturally know the rules, and it is her good fortune that the elder can occasionally give her some advice!"

"Okay, if there is nothing else, you go out first!" Wang Hao ordered him to leave.

"I will leave!" Wang Longling did not mind Wang Hao's attitude. The foundation-building cultivators were willing to see him to give him face. If they could promise to take care of his granddaughter, he would be happy to accept it even if they stepped on his face twice!

A few days of peace passed, and news of the monsters came from Ruojun Mountain. This time, Qingyuanmen was shooting itself in the foot. They did not support the family under their command, and wanted to weaken the family's power with the help of the monsters so that they could rule better.
