Chapter 615: A Big Trouble (2)

Translator: 549690339

Li Yuanqing liked to walk around the city when he had nothing to do. However, he had something urgent to do today, so he was in a hurry.

The City Lord’s Mansion had already been rebuilt. It had been expanded twice as large as the original foundation, turning into a circular building.

There were many bowl-shaped buildings in the middle of the empty space.

These bowls were all on the ground, sealed tightly.

Below these bowls were the structures of the earth veins. This thing that looked like a big black bowl was actually a training room for cultivators like them.

This kind of structure could effectively gather spiritual energy and gather it all in that small space, greatly improving the efficiency of training.

To cultivators, this was a paradise.

Practicing areas like this would be found in almost every place in Ping Cheng. They were specially designed for the use of practitioners. However, they had to pay a certain amount of spirit stones each time they were used. Hence, they were also a good helper for players who wanted to advance.

Zhao Wen had worked so hard to gather materials so that he could have sufficient funds and strength to stay in the cultivation room for a long time when he broke through the next time.

There were small square-shaped rooms in the outer ring. These small rooms did not have walls. They were all isolated by a membrane formed by an array.

These thin films were very sensitive and could change into various shapes according to one’s will. If one wanted it to be any color, it could also turn into a transparent color when more light was needed.

These formations were all Xiao Man’s little tricks, and many of them were very interesting ideas proposed by the students in the academy.

There were also some ideas that seemed impossible, but with the help of Xiao Man and Li Yuanqing, these originally impossible things became possible.

It could be said that the technological development of Ping Cheng had advanced by leaps and bounds in the past six months.

After walking through the door, there was an automatic advancing array formation under his feet.

This transportation belt circled around the entire city lord’s mansion. Anyone who wanted to go anywhere could take this transportation belt. It was a very convenient means of transportation and was widely praised.

There were a total of five levels in the city lord’s mansion. Li Yuanqing wanted to go to the top floor. He directly sat on the small teleportation array at the side and appeared on the top floor in a second.

“Your Divine Secrets Sect is too arrogant now. You keep saying that you’re taking all the credit. But you know the truth better than anyone else! How many blueprints had he taken from the Sword Immortal? Tell me, which building was really built by your own family? Wasn’t it all because of the arrangements of the Sword Immortal? Now, he was talking about himself as if he was a god who saved the world?”

Before Li Yuanqing entered the meeting room, he heard a fierce scolding coming from inside. The few groups of people inside were already cursing. The so-called issue was nothing more than their remuneration.

Back then, Li Yuanqing had greatly increased the cost of labor and promised them a very generous reward. That was why they were not only willing to teach in the academy but also to do their best to build Ping City.

Now that half a year had passed, it was time for the next settlement point. Everyone in Ping Cheng had witnessed such a huge move. Everyone wanted to take the opportunity to improve their treatment.

Perhaps they were afraid of the sword immortal and did not dare to speak first, but when the first person to raise an opinion stood up, the people behind followed suit.

“You make it sound so easy. Why don’t we leave this work to the Wang family and see what you can do? Let’s see if you can build a house. You seem to know everything you’ve done, but your words are so laughable!”

“I was just thinking about it. If you really have the guts to give up all the projects in your hands, our Wang family will really dare to take them over.”

“Forget it if you think about it. Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself? You dare to shamelessly accept the mission of a sword immortal just because you’re of your own worth? If anything happens, can your Wang family afford to bear the responsibility?”

The argument in the conference room was still going on. Li Yuanqing didn’t go in. Instead, he walked directly from the front of the conference room to a small office on the other side.

Hu Jiujiu brought a cup of hot tea to Li Yuanqing and whispered into his ear.

“Master, I have to trouble you to come personally. They are really troublesome.”

Li Yuanqing drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. He walked to the side and sat down. He took the thick bill that Hu Jiujiu handed over and flipped through it.

“Master, in the past six months, we have practically renovated the entire Ping City. Is it enough now? There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”

Inside, what is the value of the True Force?

Hu Jiujiu rolled his eyes and replied,””What else could it be? Zhao Yongming felt that the salary they were offering now could not keep up. When the others saw what they said, they also joined in and jeered.”

“So they just feel that they’ve suffered a loss?”

“There are also a few families who want to take advantage of the chaos to obtain more missions. They are all looking at the Divine Secrets Sect with the information you gave them. Now that their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, they are very envious.”

“Divine Secrets Sect did well.”

” That’s true. Their strength is growing the fastest now. Many of their disciples have already spread throughout Ping City. They have even extended their hands to Rong City and Sea City. They have earned enough. Therefore, Divine Secrets Sect is not the one who wants to increase the reward this time.”

“You’re quite tactful.”

Hu Jiujiu squatted beside Li Yuanqing and rubbed his legs.

“Master, how should we deal with them now? They are all clamoring for more bids. However, the construction of Ping City is almost complete now and we can’t satisfy their appetite. If this continues, I think they are going to rebel.”

“Since everything below is almost done, we can let them go somewhere else.”

“Master, what do you mean?”

“Sea City Base and Chengdu City need them more.”

“But didn’t Master say that this wasn’t good?”

“This is a special period, so we can’t care so much. Just do it like this. If there are any problems over there, let me know.”

“That’s good. It’s just a matter of price. We can’t just let them do as they please.”

“I’ll leave those matters to you.”

“I understand.” Hu Jiujiu kept all the account books and took out another set of data.” Master, according to the latest data, those mineral veins have recovered very well. If we don’t look at it, it might not be long before we can mine them normally.”

Li Yuanqing had a rough idea of what was going on with just a glance. He was still a little surprised by the recovery speed of these mineral veins.

It had only been a short half a year, but he had recovered so quickly. He did not know how the demons had ruined this perfectly fine mineral vein in the past to squeeze it until there was not a single drop left.

Seeing that these mineral veins had roughly taken shape, they were probably not far from normal mining.

“We must protect these mines well. We can’t let them be stolen at this last moment.”

“Master, don’t worry. I’ve already sent a professional patrol team to guard the vicinity. There won’t be any mistakes.”

“I might have to leave for a while.”

Hu Jiujiu looked at Li Yuanqing in surprise and asked,””Master, are you leaving again? How long will you be away this time?”

“I’m not sure either. This time, I have to go to a particularly important place. I’m afraid I won’t be back in a short time. If you encounter any trouble, let me know immediately.”

“Master, don’t worry. During this period of time when master isn’t around, Xiao Jiu will definitely take good care of everyone..”
