"I leave this to you. Use it as you please. I look forward to the day when you forge a mid-grade or even high-grade magic weapon."

Lin Xiang set up restrictions on the earth's core fire and handed over control to Lu Ming.

When not in use, you can use a ban to block the flame to prevent it from burning for a long time and damaging the stove.

This restriction can even adjust the firepower to different levels, and the specific operation will require multiple experiments to complete.

Lu Ming's weapon-refining shop should actually be called high-end customization. He can sell the weapons he uses for practice, but he mainly accepts special orders.

The monks provide the forging materials and drawings themselves, pay the fees, and then come to collect the finished products.

Normally, monks need to prepare two or three sets of materials.

A skilled forger can sometimes forge successfully in one go, earning both the material cost and the handling fee.

However, if your craftsmanship is not good enough and you use up all other people’s materials but still fail to create the product, you will have to make up for the lack of materials yourself in order not to affect the signboard.

Whether it is an alchemist or a weapon refiner, they all rely heavily on reputation and word of mouth.

Actually, Lin Xiang was not short of weapons. He just wanted to find a weapon refiner to take charge of the Huanyu Market, so that it would be more attractive to cultivators and players with extra money.

Lu Ming excitedly took out various tools from the space ring, and even ignored his own injuries to begin testing things like flame temperature.

He was completely immersed in his own world.

"Let's go out and don't disturb him for now."

Ji Yuan nodded. "Sir, shall we assign tasks to those young men now? Nanshan Village needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible. There are already many refugees here, and we can't let them live outdoors all the time."

The news of the Huanyu Market gradually spread outside. Many government officials were unable to protect themselves, so how could they protect more refugees?

In many cases, refugees mean poor public security, bad environment, food shortages, etc.

The government needs to provide accommodation, food, clothing, and even disaster relief work, etc. If the governance is good, it will not be considered an achievement, but if the governance is not good, it will definitely be reported.

At any time, as long as there is someone willing to accept refugees, the authorities in other places are even willing to escort the refugees there personally!

Lin Xiang had actually sensed that the current situation was not optimistic, because more and more refugees appeared on the outskirts of the Huanyu Market and they set up camp there.

Some people were arranged to temporarily live in Dongshan Village and Xishan Village, and nearly three hundred people remained at the entrance of the market town.

The rice and wheat they currently eat are all purchased from the market, and some are vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins donated by other villagers.

Fortunately, the road has been built to Nanshan Village and just needs to be completed according to the design.

Originally, it would take at least a month to build such a village, but in the world of cultivation, bricks and tiles are made very quickly, and logging is not a problem.

Lin Xiang arrived at the entrance of the land temple. At this time, all the players' attention was focused on the iron-eating beast that kept stuffing food into its mouth.

Although these materials were obtained with great difficulty, these players were extremely generous in handing them to the Iron-Eating Beast. Many of them spontaneously took turns to check in in front of the Iron-Eating Beast and asked others to help take screenshots.

"Ahem."

Lin Xiang used his spiritual power to gently push the players away. He stood beside the Iron Eater, stroked its somewhat wiry fur, and said to the players, "If you have nothing else to do, come and help build Nanshan Village. We'll try to finish it within a few hours."

"How many hours?"

The players were all frightened by Lin Xiang's bold words.

Even though everyone thinks that China's infrastructure construction speed is extraordinary, it is impossible to repair a village in just a few hours.

Even if we use prefabricated houses or spliced ​​houses, we still have to build foundations and drainage pipes, right?

"Master Ji Ling, do you mean how many hours it will take to build a habitable house?"

"The foundation isn't even finished yet. Is it really too late?"

"Could it be that you are just bragging?"

Players expressed their concerns, but at the same time hoped to see a miracle happen.

This is the world of cultivation games, where everything is possible!

Lin Xiang originally wanted the players to experience work such as laying foundations, laying bricks, erecting beams, and laying tiles, but time waits for no one, and the number of refugees keeps increasing.

As for the players' tasks, they can just go and build another village.

He wants to make ordinary people's villages flourish everywhere in the dojo under his jurisdiction!

"Young heroes, your drawings of the villages are very valuable. We will build more villages nearby and also construct a city with the Universal Market as its core. Please use your creative ideas to help us build an unparalleled city that can be continuously improved."

Lin Xiang himself had no training in urban planning, and he wanted to see how the players would do it.

With so many professionals behind us, of course we have to learn to take advantage of them.

After dropping this bombshell, he slowly flew towards the site of Nanshan Village.

The refugees who were setting up tents a hundred meters outside the market town saw Lin Xiang and immediately realized that this was the sacrificial spirit who had offered to take them in!

"Master Jiling has come out!"

"Thank you, God of Land, for taking me in!"

"The God of Land has appeared! The God of Land is extremely compassionate and truly saves people from suffering."

“Thanks to the God of Land, we can stay here.”

"Thank you, Lord Land God, for taking me in!"

These ragged people looked pale and thin, and many of them were malnourished.

Many people left their hometowns with only a small baggage on their backs.

They were busy escaping for their lives and naturally could not take their belongings with them. They even threw away heavy items on the road. Only a few people with donkey carts or ox carts had more luggage.

Lin Xiang paused in the air and said to the people, "Don't worry, now that you're here, you won't be hungry anymore. As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll have food, clothing, and shelter."

After saying this, he performed the Small Cloud and Rain Technique, and at the same time, he crushed his mid-grade Creation Pill into fine powder in the air, which dripped onto the refugees along with the rain.

The raindrops carrying spiritual energy cured most of the germs and injuries on their bodies, and even the mentally depressed old people and children became much more energetic.

The people are already so weak. If there is another plague or disease, it will be unimaginable!

The rain was so light that it did not wet their luggage.

Lin Xiang then spoke, "Since you want to stay here, you must obey the jurisdiction. If you ignore the basic principles here, you will be asked to leave. I hope you can understand that this is not a lawless place."

Some things must be discussed first, otherwise it will be troublesome.

"I will go to build Nanshan Village right away. Anyone who wants to go to Nanshan Village can go along the road together."

Since it requires expending divine power, there must be some gains.

We can't leave everything to ourselves. These ordinary people can't just sit there and do nothing.

It’s a good opportunity for them to see their own miracles!

At Lin Xiang's call, the common people who had already set up camp packed their belongings with confusion and anticipation, and walked quickly forward with the help of the players.

Not only the refugees, but also the players and the villagers of Dongshan Village and Xishan Village, they all want to see what the long-lost Lord of Sacrifice is going to do.

"Why go to Nanshan Village now? It's still a wasteland over there!"

"Yes, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Master Jiling?"

"If we go there now, where do they live?"

"have no idea."

"I believe that Lord Ji Ling will definitely have a way. He won't make promises lightly."

"I think he's going to use some magic to manifest himself!"

"Let's go and take a look."

"You go first, I'll go call my wife."

The villagers now live a prosperous life, but they lack some snacks. It just so happens that the land god they respect is taking a group of refugees to open up wasteland and build a village, so they have to go and see it for themselves.

Many people secretly brought shovels, hoes, axes, hammers and other tools, ready to help in any way they could.

Although they believed that the land god was about to appear, they still made other preparations.

The villagers called their friends and the players naturally came forward, sharing information even faster.

Messages were sent by carrier pigeons and flying swords everywhere, and posts in the game forums popped up like mushrooms after rain. The discussion was very intense, once again solidifying his title as the most popular NPC in "Ascension".

"Breaking News, Lin Xiang, in Dongshan Village, vows to build a whole village in one day!"

"With its growing ambition, Huanyu Market even wants to expand and become a city!"

"Are there any people who are watching Lin Xiang's apparition together?"

"The Iron Eater has arrived. Hurry up if you want to pet the panda, the queue has already started."

Look at this photo of me and Gungun. This guy has really good teeth. For a moment I was afraid he would bite my neck off.

"I'm sure Lin Xiang is truly a god. He's incredible! If you don't come and see him, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

"I'm not exaggerating. Lin Xiang started building infrastructure all by himself, with hundreds or even thousands of people watching us."

Similar posts kept appearing on the forum, and from time to time someone would take a screenshot of their own video, which really made players from other places envious.

"I told you he was definitely the protagonist, but you just refused to believe me."

"It's amazing! The speed of construction is so impressive that anyone who comes here will be amazed."

"Why isn't there a teleportation array in this game? I worked so hard to run over a hundred miles, but I forgot to change my resurrection point and was sent back directly by a thousand-year-old ghost."

"Building a village is nothing special. If he can really build a city, I will admire him."

"In the world of cultivation, everything is possible."

"Record more so we can take a good look."

"Having been here, all I can say is it's incredible! If everyone was this talented, infrastructure wouldn't be a problem at all."

But they never imagined that even if they ascended to become immortals, they might not have the same good control as Lin Xiang.

This can only be done if they also become land gods, mountain gods, or river gods and have the ability to control the jurisdiction of the temple.

At this moment, Lin Xiang was like a conductor at a concert, directing everything around him in an orderly manner.

The whole person floated in the air, and with a slight wave of his fingers, the soil on the ground automatically separated into standard pits.

The long stones that the players nearby had painstakingly collected suddenly flew up and were then precisely embedded into the pit.

The mud monster spits out the clay it has swallowed, which is a stronger adhesive than cement and lime.

The fired red bricks flew up from the ground and quickly formed a line to build the frame around the house.

People who don’t know might think this is the double-speed playback effect.

Immediately afterwards, log beams were put up one by one, and tiles also flew onto the beams and were laid out one by one.

The key point is that this is not about building one house, but building dozens of houses at the same time, with building materials flying all over the sky!

"It's because you're not strong enough. If you were strong enough, those immortals would be able to create houses with just a single spell. There's no need to build them so slowly."

The refugees, villagers, and players were all dumbfounded, but Lin Xiang was still not satisfied. He wanted to be like the immortals, Buddhas, and monsters in the mythological world and solve the problem with just one spell.

The materials used in these houses are of excellent quality, so there is certainly no formaldehyde or other issues.

Anyway, for the time being, it is habitable and can shelter from wind and rain, which is already very good.

There is open space around each house, so that future villagers can choose to expand it into houses or build a farmyard for planting and breeding.

Depending on the number of people, the size of the houses built by Lin Xiang also varies.

Families of three, four, and five can all live here.

The mud monster was a great hero today. Its entire black body became thinner and it had to cooperate with its master's infrastructure plan.

Lin Xiang almost perfectly copied the model submitted by the player. He did not forget to set up a small land temple in the middle of the village so that he could activate the spirit sacrificial formation and make the village truly habitable.

"Okay, everyone, make furniture and other items yourself or have others make them..."

As more and more houses appeared, the amount of divine power Lin Xiang received from the onlookers also gradually increased. Some people even offered ten points of incense at a time, and regarded him as a living god who saved people from suffering!
