to take a good look around Qianjicheng, but unfortunately, he was unable to do so.He already harbored resentment, and Lu Cheng discovered that the negative energy was causing him harm."Your Majesty,...Your current pool of cards is: 【Jiangnan Flowing People】Level 3

Your resource supply can sustain you for 3 rounds (after 3 rounds, a famine will occur and the pool size will be downgraded).

Lu Cheng once maintained a settlement on Youshan Mountain.

A population of 3rd-class farmers, large enough to build a city.

Suwen can be used as a stronghold for the sect, stationed here, providing medical care, food, and safety.

And urban residents can provide a higher level of labor and card sources.

She came with 【Su Daji】, and due to the special guardian spirit beast's effect, her charm bonus is: extremely high.

Attractiveness and Yushan are completely incomparable.

Lu Cheng took a try.

Each round, you can draw 1-10 cards and add them to your hand. The card names will be changed to "Student of the Yellow Emperor".

An expected value of 5 per round That's incredibly fast.

In a few years, the number of disciples in Taoyuan Fēn Táng will surpass that of the outer sect outside the main hall.

But its influence has long surpassed.

He resolved the core crisis of "The Classic of Difficult Texts", and quelled an epidemic in the south. In just two rounds, he rose to fame, surpassing even Lu Jing, the sect leader, in prestige.

Withdrawal from the world has its downsides, but also its upsides.

If it weren't for the fact that Suwen is a place detached from worldly affairs, and Lu Menzhu has no desire for power or profit, I estimate he would have already been caught up in negative events of suppression.

Due to the card "Mirage" existing, you can draw one card from the boss's deck each turn.

Lu Cheng was happy.

The plan was a huge success!

When I went down south, I was penniless. Now, I have three places where I can play cards.

One is a pool of sheltered Jiangnan residents under the heavens.

The second is the Suwen Benpai Card Pool.

The third is the BOSS card pool.

Most of the resources I currently have come from the boss card pool.

The Wang family has a lot of good things, for example, the 【Golden Tripod】 drawn in this round.

After the turmoil of the Eight Princes, the imperial court and nobility fled south. The royal family brought a large amount of gold, silver, and iron from the north with them.

Emperor Jin feared that the Wang family would use these gold and iron to cast weapons in secret and rebel, so he came up with a plan.

That's to grant the old man a title of nobility.

The Jin dynasty partially continued using the Han system.

Only the Duke may use this cauldron for cooking. Anyone else who does so is committing an act of usurpation.

The imperial decree has arrived, and for the sake of this status, the Wang family can only forge ahead.

Thus, the royal family consumed vast amounts of gold and iron, dissolving the worries of war.

Lu Chengxian hadn't figured out the reason yet, but his concubine Daji, who had experienced many such things, immediately understood.

After Lu Cheng had his doubts resolved, he suddenly understood.

This royal life isn't easy either!

"My brother-in-arms commands a powerful army, encompassing eight towns and mountains. Naturally, he wouldn't stoop to such political machinations," Daji said helplessly.

"Rumors, where is there still eight towns" Lu Cheng shook his head. "The losses in Dahuang Mountain are considerable, and taken together with the losses at Yumen Pass, they are severe. It needs to be reorganized. The Far Seas Water Gate has been engaged in war for a long time and lacks troop replenishment."

Since the battlefront has been fully opened, the results have been remarkable, but the casualties have also been very severe.

The Shanhai Army is short of eight cards, and its four are insufficient. Changbai Mountain is also poorly prepared for war.

Since the beginning of the campaign, there are still 50,000 soldiers under my command. The eight legions Daji's younger sister said were heavily armed have suffered almost half their casualties!

"Therefore, the Classic of Internal Medicine must be entrusted to my brother's hands," Daji said.

"Junior Sister," Lu Cheng said, his voice heavy with concern. "Although you're a spirit demon, not human, learning about human morality has its benefits. Don't always think about complete possession; being too selfish can sometimes backfire."

Daji was taken aback, then nodded.

You are absolutely right.

Man eats demon, demon eats man, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, it's a natural order of things, nothing wrong with it.

But as a celestial fox beneath the divine, his future had been bright.

If it had not been for the chaos and wrongdoing after the fall, it would never have come to this, reduced to a pathetic existence, barely clinging to life.

"Brother, this old Master Wang is really willing to give you the golden tripod,"

He wouldn't and couldn't, his family boasted that they weren't short of money, only bad luck with getting it out. My disciples spread the word along the river about Wang Laoye's righteousness, even Hou Ding was willing to help me use my "Su Wen" skills to save people. He is a clean stream among the Jiangnan gentry families, you could elevate him to heaven and he wouldn't flinch.

"Oh dear, brother," Daji pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

"How do you speak like that!" Lu Cheng feigned anger: "This can be considered bad Look, Lord King gains face, and we gain the inside scoop! A win-win situation!"

"Yes, yes, yes," Daji quickly retracted her smile: "But this will certainly stimulate them, making them hasten their actions and possibly even spark a movement to eradicate the Daoists. They might turn against us."

"I know," Lu Cheng nodded. "I'll figure something out."

"But brother, this Golden Cauldron XII has problems. It won't really be used to build a boiler as you said," Daji found that of the twelve cauldrons that arrived, only three were intact. The other nine cauldrons were filled with sinister energy, and they probably couldn't be used.

"I know, first take three cauldrons, melt them into gold and iron, to supplement the daily expenses of Mount Gate and Peach Garden. As for the remaining nine cauldrons…" Lu Cheng pondered for a moment: "I'll go have a look first."

Hou Ding.

Power and identity symbols, every stitch must be done meticulously.

Although they were placed high up, the Wang family naturally wouldn't give them up easily. This time, of course, they had made some arrangements when handing them over.

The Wang family, citing the need to ward off evil spirits, handed over nine cauldrons tainted with evil qi. These cauldrons were unusable by Shusun, who sought comfort in their absence, and three more cauldrons that had yet to be dealt with.

As for the reason why the Wang family was afflicted, there's an explanation within the family. According to Old Master Wang, the Wang family's territory wasn't infected by evil spirits because of this tripod. That's why they were plagued with it. This time, in order to help the displaced people, they are entrusting it to Su Wen.

But the Wang family did not remain quiet. Instead, they made a big fuss about this incident. As soon as the ship left, they immediately reported it to the court.

According to the book, the Wang family is currently requesting cultivators to station themselves in their home as a means of ensuring peace and prosperity for their people. This request comes as the Wang family has lost their town artifact, which was previously used to maintain order.

On the surface, this seems reasonable. The Wang family provides the funding, Su Wen provides the people, and the imperial court only needs to pay a small price to quell the troubles in Jiangnan.

Safety needs to be provided for the Wang family.

This statement was very reasonable, so the imperial envoy Meng Kui was given permission. He departed from Taoyuan and took charge at the Wang family's residence!

Mr. Wang stroked his beard.

"Ai'er, this plan is brilliant! That Su Wen is useless with the Xie Ding. He managed to get Meng Kui in exchange, but we only need to devise a way to eliminate him. Once Su Wen loses his access to the mirage tower, he'll be crippled. Let's cut off one of his arms first."

"The master praised me well, I was just thinking about it for a moment. Unfortunately, there are still three cauldrons left." Wang Shanghe shook his head.

It's good to leave some things behind, so as not to appear too suspicious. If we were all tainted with evil, it would look like we were intentionally doing something wrong.

"That's what the head of the household said," Wang Shanghe nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Er'er, what kind of thing are you using that spreads so quickly" Old Master Wang asked.

“The child thought, that Su Wen was proficient in the medical way of humans, with high-minded methods of driving away evil spirits. Ordinary evils probably couldn’t hinder them, so they would use Yin evil.” Wang Shang and reached: “There are many evils raised in the house for many days, with tens of thousands of corpses remaining. Yin evil is the most prosperous, there is no faster way to infect than Yin evil, and it is extremely difficult to remove without a profound understanding of ghost ways! It just hits Su Wen’s point.”

"Good!" Lord Wang exclaimed, "No one in the family thought that Su Wen was a master of five elements exorcism. You are really thoughtful. This evil spirit is born from yin energy surging upwards. Su Wen's five elements medical arts are extremely difficult to deal with! Give it to them, they wouldn't be able to use it either."

"But be careful, they might find someone skilled in the art of exorcism." Wang Shanghe said.

"Shang He, to be honest with you, I plan to kill Meng Kui. First, I'll feed him to that thing. I've been preparing for some time now. You find an excuse to visit Taoyuan and guide us there, helping us locate its position." Wang Lao Ye then made a gesture of slitting someone's throat.

"If they don't get rid of the Ding Zhong evil spirit, I'll have their heads! And for every head they miss, I want one back!"

(The End)s come again. Our destiny is infinite prosperity! Break free from your bonds and tear this beast apart. Its body shall adorn the divine throne, bringing everlasting glory. And its soul shall be sent...
