In Wu Ming's previous life, science and technology were the primary productive force.
However, in this world, all kinds of Taoist techniques, witchcraft, and even mystical martial arts were gathered together. If they were collectively applied to production, what kind of changes would there be?
Wu Ming began to daydream, but he soon shook his head bitterly.
Since ancient times, Confucianism used literature to disobey the law, and chivalry used martial arts to disobey the law. With power, one would naturally be unwilling to be subordinate to others. How could one expect those powerhouses to obediently open mines and farm? Develop production? Hehe …
"No wonder the productivity of this world is only at the level of Song Ming in my previous life, but the military equipment is far superior. This is abnormal …"
Wu Ming sighed in his heart.
Then, he saw Wu Qing's beautiful eyes constantly sizing him up, and he could not help but let out a hollow laugh. "Sister, what are you going to do?"
"Little Brother, your temperament has changed!"
Wu Qing glanced at Li Xiuyun thoughtfully. "It's fine if you don't touch other maidservants … But Xiuyun is already yours, and yet, you don't even care about her. How cruel of you …"
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming spat out a mouthful of tea. Then, he looked at Li Xiuyun who seemed to be a little resentful and immediately waved his hand. "You can leave first …"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Wu Qing's expression became even more charming. She suddenly approached Chen Xiaobei and exhaled. "Could it be that … our little brother finally has a sweetheart?"
"Is it that Sister Wu? Hehe … Little Brother, if you marry her, you will have a lot of fun in the future! "
"Cough cough …"
Wu Ming patted his chest and said awkwardly, "Sister, didn't I tell you that I didn't even get to see your bestie last time?"
After saying that, he seemed to be a little hesitant before he said, "I have cultivated another Taoist technique. Before I master it, I should try not to waste my energy …"
Hearing this explanation, Wu Qing was not too surprised.
After all, there were Taoist techniques that required one to maintain the body of a virgin. It was very common for him to only cultivate it with abstinence.
However, looking at this inflexible younger brother of his, he couldn't help but tease him a little. He immediately put on a pained expression and said, "Little brother, you have to work hard. Our Wu family's lineage can't end because of you …"
"Cough, cough …"
Wu Ming coughed even more violently. Under Wu Qing's mischievous gaze, he immediately changed the topic, "By the way … Big Sis, about that … how's it going?"
"That?"
Wu Qing's expression turned solemn. "This is also what I wanted to discuss with you!"
"So you were playing with me before?"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes and immediately put on a posture of listening attentively.
"I didn't expect … Little Brother, you could even get your hands on the material of such a great demon!"
Wu Qing walked out of the room, and a moment later, she returned with an embroidered box. "Open it and take a look …"
Wu Ming opened the lid of the box and immediately saw a white fox fur coat. The stitches on it were fine, and the fox fur at the edges was soft and snow-white. It was even suffused with a trace of spiritual light. It was clearly extraordinary.
"A Dharma treasure! Not to mention, it's not a low-level one … "
Wu Ming was delighted. He had given the material of the old fox to Wu Qing the last time he returned.
After all, even though he was a sorcerer and was capable of crafting Dharma treasures, in terms of basic knowledge and how to make best use of it, Wu Qing, who had graduated from a specialized school, was far superior to him.
On top of that, she was also trustworthy.
However, after Wu Qing's words shocked him, she immediately rolled her eyes at him.
It was only then that he realized that even though the flesh of such a great demon was rich in spiritual energy, it had to be sealed with a curse right from the start.
It was a pity that Wu Ming didn't know anything about it, and it was a waste of the material. Not only was the flesh of the demon useless, it was also a little poisonous.
In fact, the most valuable part of the demon fox wasn't its flesh but the soul of a Perfected Demonic Immortal!
This was the soul of a Perfected Demonic Immortal, something that could only be obtained by chance. If he could get his hands on it, the pill he refined might even be able to help him achieve a breakthrough to the Perfected Demonic Immortal realm!
When Wu Ming found out about this, he was so regretful that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
When Elder Nanshan was killed by Young Lord Yu, even his soul must have been severely injured. If he didn't reincarnate, he would have escaped.
Otherwise, capturing him would be a great boon for him.
"That old fox's cultivation is profound. It's a great fortune to be able to obtain the fur coat!"
Wu Qing ignored Wu Ming's beating of his chest and stamping his feet. Instead, she pulled out the fur coat and unfolded it to give it a shake. It was then that Wu Ming realized that the fur coat was sewn together using pieces of snow-white fur. It was just that the craftsman was skilled in needlework, making it look like a single entity.
"This Snow Fox Fur Coat is made from the fur of a Spirit Fox and the skins of other demonic beasts. It's impervious to fire and water, impenetrable by swords and spears, and impervious to blood. It's also capable of bewitching others!"
Wu Qing briefly introduced the attributes of the fur coat. Then, she seemed a little regretful. "It's a pity that the fur has lost most of its spirituality after a few blows. Otherwise, it could be used as a material for Dharma treasures …"
"Even so, it's rare to be able to obtain a high-grade Dharma treasure …"
Wu Ming took the fur coat and draped it over Wu Qing's shoulders. "It complements you even better when worn with Elder Sister!"
"You …"
Wu Qing was stunned. She was a little touched.
"I already have a Dharma robe. It's more appropriate to gift this fox fur coat to a beautiful lady!"
Wu Ming looked at Wu Qing, who was a little shy, and finally felt that he had made a comeback. "Now that I look at you, you're becoming more and more beautiful!"
"You even dare to tease your elder sister!"
Wu Qing spat lightly, but she did not seem to be angry.
"Furthermore …"
Wu Ming touched the hem of the fox fur coat. "I didn't know that Elder Sister's needlework was so good. It's flawless!"
"That's not my doing!"
Wu Qing sat down. "It's the master hired by the Zhou Clan!"
"Zhou Clan? Which Zhou Clan? "Wu Ming was a little confused. Then, he narrowed his eyes." The one in the county? "
"That's right!"
Wu Qing chuckled. "The Zhou Clan latched onto the wrong thigh. The Wang Clan, which they relied on, has fallen from grace. Now that the county magistrate has changed, they have no choice but to retract their influence and ease their relationship with the other factions. This time, after I released the news, the other party came to me eagerly. It is said that they used their connections to invite an old master from the Xue Family, the Needle Deity, and sent me a lot of demonic beast fur … "
"I see …"
Wu Ming stroked his chin.
Initially, with the backing of the Wang Clan, it was nothing much for the Zhou Clan to suppress a mere county squire.
However, with Wu Qing's sudden appearance, even if they did not know that Wu Ming was an expert as well, they were still in a disadvantageous position.
It was not a joke that everyone would give a man a push when he was down. Naturally, they wanted to ease the tension.
After all, even though the Zhou Clan had tried to make a move on the Zhou Clan previously, they had failed.
In fact, even though Wu Ming had retaliated, he had only killed a few guest elders and a bunch of servants.
However, the fact that the Zhou Clan was able to find an old master and obtain information on the Zhou Clan was a testament to their capabilities.
This was a show of goodwill and a display of their strength at the same time.
"Sister, are you going to let them off?"
When Wu Ming saw Wu Qing accepting the gift, he immediately understood her decision, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Why? Do you think that I only know how to fight and kill? "
Wu Qing rolled her eyes at Wu Ming. "You should know that the Zhou Clan has deep roots in Yunping County. If I hadn't become a Perfected Being yet, it would have been troublesome for me to kill them …"
"I'm glad that you think so. I have no objections!"
Wu Ming secretly activated his spiritual eye and saw that half of Wu Qing's tribulation aura had dissipated. The reddish-gold aura was flourishing, and there was a surge of green aura in the midst of it. Wu Ming couldn't help but smile.
"However … Since the Zhou Clan dared to lay their hands on you, even though they managed to escape this time, I'll surely take revenge for you the next time I make a breakthrough!"
However, Wu Qing's next words still revealed her true colors, leaving Wu Ming between laughter and tears.
…
In the dead of the night.
Wu Ming was in the study room, meeting a few stewards of the clan.
Since the establishment of the clan school and the martial arts event, although there weren't many outstanding talents, they had discovered a few good seedlings. They had been secretly taken care of and nurtured carefully.
After a few years, they would be able to be of use.
'In fact, the twenty acres of farmland we have is more than enough to provide for the clan's needs! However, with Wu Qing's and my status, no one in Yunping County can say anything if we add on 5,000 acres of farmland … Next, we just need to nurture our clansmen. If we can produce a few scholars and martial artists, the family business will be stable … When there's a High Scholar or a County Lieutenant, we can add on 10,000 acres of farmland … That's 100 acres of farmland. We'll be a powerful clan in the county, and we'll have a say in the county city … If we can develop this far, I'll naturally not owe the Wu Clan anything … '
As Wu Ming was thinking, his fingers were tapping on the mahogany table.
The tapping sounds were rhythmic and rhythmic.
Whether it was Steward Wu, Zhao Song, Wu Tiehu, or even Feng Han, all of them stood at the side, not daring to disturb him.
Especially Feng Han.
Initially, he had the temperament of a guest, but as Wu Ming became more and more unfathomable, his attitude became more and more respectful. At this moment, he even considered himself as a subordinate and behaved more respectfully. It was a sign that he was sincerely seeking refuge. This made Wu Ming happy. He could finally find a reason to reward them with the Spirit Turtle Qi-Nourishing Technique that he had prepared previously.
These people, together with Wu Qing, were almost the core of the fort.
However, Wu Qing did not care much about the fort. In a fort, there were only some trivial matters at most. Wu Ming casually dismissed them and left another person behind.
"Young Master?"
Zhao Song's face was a little weathered, but he was very respectful.
This person was very disciplined. Moreover, he did not show much jealousy when he saw Wu Tiehu being promoted several times. This was a magnanimous attitude, which made Wu Ming rather satisfied.
This time, he had secretly entrusted a task to him.
With this person's ability, he must have successfully completed the task.
