"Should we ask the alchemist to improve the soil?" Night Breeze asked thoughtfully.

Zhao Bo said, "Our Hongtian Empire's Lin Chun Valley has many alchemists. If we could invite them here..."

At this point, Zhao Bo stopped talking and didn't say anything more.

He knew that it was up to Ye Feng, the lord of Silla City, to make the decision, and it wasn't appropriate for him to say too much.

The night wind knows what Lin Chungu is.

Lin Chungu is a sect renowned for its ability to refine spiritual herbs and elixirs.

The Hongtian Empire has more than a dozen sects of varying sizes, each with its own area of ​​expertise.

The Sunrise Sect is the largest and strongest among them.

Compared to the Sunrise Sect, Lin Chungu was just a small sect with no more than a thousand disciples.

Night Breeze was still pondering when Zijing blurted out, "I know a spirit alchemist, a very powerful one. Should I invite him over?"

"You know a pharmacist? Someone like you actually knows a pharmacist?" Rowling said in surprise.

"So what if I know a spirit alchemist? Wait, what do you mean by 'I'm like this'? Are you looking down on me?" Zijing said with her arms crossed, clearly dissatisfied.

Rowling snorted and turned her face away, refusing to argue with Zijing.

Night Breeze smiled and said, "Then could you invite that alchemist you know over here?"

“Of course, but you have to give me spirit stones. That guy is very greedy and won’t take any real action unless he sees something in return,” Zijing said, extending her hand towards Yefeng.

Before Rowling could stop him, Ye Feng had already taken out a high-grade spirit stone and handed it to Zi Jing.

"Only one?" Zijing said.

“One is already quite a lot. This is a high-grade spirit stone, equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones,” Ye Feng said irritably.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it a try. Whether it will work or not is another story."

After saying that, Zijing ran off into the distance, disappearing at breakneck speed.

Luo Qing suddenly said, "This guy won't abscond with the money, will he?"

Luo Qing's face showed worry, clearly indicating that she was also concerned about this issue.

Chen He thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's that bad. The Ancestor has already appointed her as the Director of the Inspection Department. She shouldn't be so foolish as to abscond with the money for a high-grade spirit stone."

“That’s true,” Luo Qing nodded.

After leaving the Blackwater River, Night Breeze returned to his tent.

"What's the population census situation?" Ye Feng asked.

Upon hearing Ye Feng mention this, Rowling immediately beamed and said, "Ancestor, the population census is complete. I must say, your method is truly effective, and incredibly useful."

"After the census, I know exactly what the people on our hard ground are good at. If I need anything, I can just find the right person. This is much better than the old method of asking door to door!"

Rowling realized the benefits of demographics so quickly?

Night Wind chuckled and said, "So that's why I had you conduct the population census. I hope you understand my intention."

“Yes, Ancestor.” Rowling nodded vigorously.

Night Wind continued, "The Secretariat has been established, and all departments should be operational immediately. You need to find people to fill the positions in each department, understand?"

“I understand,” Rowling replied with a smile.

"By the way, how's the exploration of the spirit stone vein going?" Ye Feng asked again.

The greatest treasure in the Death Mountains is the spirit stone mine.

There is more than one spirit stone vein in the Death Mountain Range, but because the Death Mountain Range used to contain the poison of the Crimson-tailed Beast, the veins here could not be mined at all.

But now the situation is completely different. The Crimson-Tailed Beast's poison has completely disappeared, so the spirit stone veins in the mountains can naturally be mined normally again.

Once these spirit stone veins are mined, they will immediately become the economic pillar of the entire Silla City, and the prosperity of Silla City will be just around the corner!

“Jiang Wei has already taken people to get checked, and we should have the results soon,” Luo Lin said.

"Alright, then I'll wait and see," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Another three days have passed.

The campsite was more than ten times larger than before, and everyone lived in tents, so no one had to sleep outdoors anymore.

But living in a tent is just the beginning. Tents are for emergencies and cannot be used for long-term living, so building houses is necessary.

Night Breeze has a bold idea about building houses.

That's cement!

In the Lingluo Great World, housing construction is still in a relatively primitive state. When building houses, large rocks are basically cut into small pieces and then stacked and reinforced.

This method is inefficient, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.

But if cement were available, the situation would be completely different.

So these past two days, Ye Feng gave Luo Qing a new task: to burn stones to make cement.

Night Wind didn't know the proportions of cement, which is why he had to conduct the relevant experiments.

"Ancestor, Ancestor, I have good news!"

Luo Qing ran in from outside, her face covered in dust and her disheveled appearance making her look more like a beggar on the street than a wealthy heiress.

"What good news?" Night Wind asked.

"Ancestor, I've successfully produced that cement you mentioned! Come with me quickly!"

After saying that, Luo Qing grabbed Ye Feng's wrist and ran outside.

"Slow down, don't rush," Ye Feng said.

Not far from the camp, there were five or six cave dwellings.

These cave dwellings were all dug out by Luo Qing and her team, with the purpose of burning cement.

At this moment, the cave dwellings were extremely hot, clearly indicating that they had been used not long ago, and there were piles of gray powder on the site.

Luo Qing pulled Ye Feng to a square stone and pointed to the half-person-high stone, saying, "Ancestor, look, this is the cement I made according to your method. To be honest, this stuff is amazing. Yesterday at noon it was still powder, but after mixing with water, it has now become a solid, and it's so hard!"

As Luo Qing spoke, she clenched her fist and pounded on the square stone several times.

It is obvious that these stones are concrete.

To be honest, Ye Feng is quite surprised now. Burning cement is just an idea of ​​his, and it's hard to say whether it will succeed.

Ye Feng thought that Luo Qing was already very impressive for being able to figure out the cement ratio in a month.

Only three days later, Luo Qing actually succeeded.

How could this not surprise the night breeze!

Luo Lin also rushed over upon hearing the news, and Chen He arrived with her.

Upon arriving, Luo Lin saw the perfectly square concrete block in front of Ye Feng and Luo Qing, and exclaimed in surprise, "This...this is the cement you were talking about, Ancestor?"

“It’s concrete, poured and hardened concrete,” Night Wind said.
