Mr. Dark Cloud's voice was calm.
But when Wang Cong heard that, he broke out in a cold sweat. "What … What are you doing?"
"Doing this."
Mr. Dark Cloud pointed with his finger.
Wang Cong's body immediately twisted. He lay on the ground and reappeared in the form of a green jade toad.
But the big toad quickly changed again and turned into a green horse.
However, one could tell that this horse was not ordinary by its color.
The green horse's eyes were full of fear, but it could not speak human language.
The horse's hooves were restless on the ground, as if it wanted to draw and write some words.
However, in the end, it was just a random gesture. It was completely useless.
A person seemed to have really been turned into a horse.
However, the horse's eyes were full of human-like fear and pleading.
"You killed me. Deer River Villa under Chang 'an doesn't kill livestock. From today onwards, you will be a livestock to compensate Deer River Villa."
Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently, "Oh, and you are now a mare."
The green horse wanted to run away, but it seemed to be imprisoned there by an invisible force and could not move.
Mr. Dark Cloud summoned a subordinate of Tianshu Hall. "Inform Deer River Villa to send someone to build a ranch between the second outer city and the third outer city and cultivate spirit beasts."
"Yes, sir," the subordinate answered first, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at the green horse next to him.
The horse kept twisting, and its eyes showed very human-like despair and rejection.
But the subordinate of Tianshu Hall did not care. After bowing to Mr. Dark Cloud and leaving, he immediately went to inform the people of Deer River Villa in Yunzhong County.
The villa master, Yang Chen, came in person with a gloomy expression.
"The poisoner has been executed."
Mr. Dark Cloud pointed to the green horse next to him. "This is his mount, a mutant. I'll give it to you. As compensation, let it graze and breed in Chang 'an. I hope to see the results as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir." Yang Chen carefully inspected the cyan horse.
The horse kept struggling.
However, Yang Chen's cultivation level was enough to suppress it.
After a while, Yang Chen's face lit up with joy, "It's a mutant that's even stronger than the Spirit River Deer. It's a pity that there's only one female and not a pair.
But please rest assured, Mister, I will definitely try my best to create a fine breed that will not diminish its miraculousness. "
Mr Dark Cloud nodded in satisfaction.
Yang Chen's hurt heart was somewhat compensated.
As for the green horse, its eyes were naturally filled with terror.
Unfortunately, it was no longer up to him.
Yang Chen immediately ordered the disciples of the manor to start building a pasture on the designated large piece of land. At the same time, she ordered people to select all kinds of good stallions and male deer from the manor to come to Chang 'an to breed with the mare.
Soon, the mournful neighs of horses could be heard in the grassland.
Zhang Dongyun threw the horses to the Deer River Manor and did not ask about what happened after that.
What Master Zhang was concerned about now was the construction task of the system.
As the "stars" scattered in all directions, the people inside and outside Chang 'an began to gradually adapt to this appearance.
The influence of the local clans faded, and the supreme authority of the City Lord of Chang 'an slowly took root in the people's hearts.
The system only required the initial establishment of a network. It did not need to be perfect immediately.
Therefore, as time slowly passed, the system notification sounded in Zhang Dongyun's mind again.
[The City Lord's authority has penetrated deeply into the place and is rooted among the people. It is above all places. Successfully completed construction task 6.2. Obtained 2,000 experience points to upgrade.]
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun clenched his fists slightly.
This task seemed simple, but it was actually difficult. He needed to cultivate carefully.
In the end, the reward after success was indeed generous. He received 2,000 experience points at once.
Master Zhang rubbed his palms together. He hoped that the next task would be as fruitful.
He refreshed the system list. After reading the introduction of the new task, his expression could not help but be a little strange.
[Construction task 6.3 — The influence of the city is rapidly increasing. Please establish an industry with the strength of a leader and spread your influence to the surrounding wider world.]
As for this task, the system's criteria for success were a little vague.
However, to become a leader in an industry, at least in a certain area, it had to be number one, or even monopolized, right?
Tianfeng Mountain's weapon smelting could be considered a leader in Longnan County.
It could even be considered a leader in the nearby counties. However, it was hard to say if it was further away.
The weapons refined by the Icefire Valley in the Northern Qi Dynasty were not only second to none in Northern Qi, but they were also sold to the Eastern Tang.
To this extent, it should be a real leader. It could definitely satisfy the system's judgment.
As for the current wood business and ore business in Chang 'an, although there were sales, it seemed that it was not enough to be a leader.
Speaking of the Icefire Valley and Tianfeng Mountain …
Zhang Dongyun smacked his lips.
After a period of development, the Chang 'an Weapons Factory had gradually developed under the leadership of the Heavenly Craftsmen Hall.
With Master Zhang helping them cheat, they could almost be said to have the best raw materials in the world.
Under the communication of Chen Yu, Huang Xi, and the others, their technical standards were also improving.
In particular, Mr. Dark Cloud had specially instructed Chen Yu to focus on this side and leave the daily affairs of the Heavenly Craftsmen Hall to his assistant.
Therefore, after this genius communicated with Huang Xi and the others, he exploded again.
He came up with all sorts of strange ideas, causing the people of Heavenly Beacon Mountain to be dumbfounded.
Under the stimulation of Chen Yu, Huang Xi and the others were also inspired.
Everyone's inspiration intertwined, causing the weapons factory's products to become more and more advanced.
Moreover, under the coordination of the Tianshu Hall, the Heavenly Craftsmen Hall recruited a large number of experienced people to the weapons factory.
At the same time, the weapons factory also recruited a large number of apprentices.
In addition to the quality, the weapons factory's production was also increasing.
Now, in addition to supplying the four counties under Chang 'an, they also began to sell to other places.
The weapons that were circulated in Chang 'an were praised by everyone.
In addition to taking over all the original sales of Tianfeng Mountain, they also spread to more places.
Gradually, the weapons of Chang 'an became famous. Many people even began to compare the weapons produced by Chang' an with those produced by Icefire Valley.
Many products of Chang 'an weapons factory even began to be sold in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Although the number was still limited, it immediately attracted the attention of Icefire Valley.
In order to get the turquoise crystal from Chang 'an, Icefire Valley provided a portion of the beacon iron to Chang' an.
Although Chang 'an had Tianfeng Mountain, Icefire Valley did not think that the other party could pose a threat after studying it.
They had enough confidence in their own skills.
But soon, they realized that the situation was not right.
"Master, I've bought it. This is the second-grade weapon currently sold in Chang 'an."
An Icefire Valley disciple came to the side of Icefire Valley Elder Qian Gang with a knife. "It's the best grade. There are too few in the Northern Qi Dynasty. I really can't find it for the time being."
Elder Qian took the knife. "It's okay. This is basically enough."
He drew the knife out of its sheath. The light was dazzling like autumn water.
Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be flames flickering in the water.
A gust of hot air rushed toward them.
This was not an ordinary weapon. It was infused with fire essence. When the knife was swung, the heat wave would sweep out. Ordinary people would be burned almost immediately.
This knife was a sharp weapon for martial arts cultivators.
Facing the heat wave, Elder Qian, who was at the Seventh Realm, naturally only felt a gentle breeze.
He bent his finger and flicked the blade gently. After a while, his expression became serious.
"Master …" the disciple next to him said softly.
However, Qian Gang interrupted him. "What do you think?"
"It's naturally far inferior to the treasured knife made by you, Master." His disciple was very certain.
It was not that he had poor eyesight. It was the truth.
However, Qian Gang's expression did not relax at all. "Then, what do you think is the realm of the person who made this knife compared to me?"
His disciple was about to open his mouth to answer when he suddenly froze.
There were not many knives like this in the world, but there was more than one. Obviously, they were not custom-made but were made in batches.
Naturally, it was impossible for a Seventh Realm master like Qian Gang to make them personally.
As a Third Realm master, he knew that he could not make such a good knife.
"In our sect, it should be a Fourth Realm disciple, right?" The young man's tone was uncertain. "The people outside should be at least Fifth or Sixth Realm …"
At this point, his voice lowered.
Would Chang 'an let Fifth or Sixth Realm martial arts masters refine such mass-produced knives?
This was only their second-grade products that were circulated outside.
What about the first-grade products?
They were not sold outside and were only circulated within the sect. Would there be better products?
"You have a good eye." Qian Gang nodded lightly. "But actually, not all Fourth Realm disciples in our sect can make such a knife."
His disciple stopped talking.
Qian Gang sheathed the knife and handed it back to him. "Take it. Follow me to see the Valley Master."
The young man quickly followed.
When the master and disciple arrived outside the Valley Master's residence, they saw two familiar faces walking toward them.
The leader was another Ice Fire Valley elder, Sun Fangyuan, whose cultivation and strength were above Qian Gang's.
Other than the Valley Master, the second master was Elder Sun.
Whether it was martial arts strength or refining skills, they were all the same.
Sun Fangyuan was followed by his disciple.
Qian Gang tried to look, but he saw that Elder Sun's disciple was also holding a knife in his arms.
It was exactly the same as the one on their side.
Sun Fangyuan glanced around and knew why Qian Gang came. "Junior Brother Qian, it seems that you and I came to see the Valley Master for the same reason."
Qian Gang nodded. "I think it's urgent."
Sun Fangyuan nodded. "I also feel the same."
The two immediately entered the Valley Master's residence to visit.
After the junior disciple led them into the house, the two elders were stunned at the same time.
In the room, the current Valley Master of Ice Fire Valley, Guan Hao, was holding a long sword and examining it.
The blade faintly revealed a murderous aura, which was breathtaking.
Valley Master Guan Hao looked up at the two of them. "Sit."
Then he lowered his head and continued to examine the long sword.
After the two of them sat down, Sun Fangyuan asked in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Guan, the sword in your hand seems to be also produced in Chang 'an?"
"I tried to find one of the best pieces circulating on the ground in Northern Qi."
Guan Hao nodded, then sheathed the sword and handed it to Sun Fangyuan and Qian Gang. "Even in our sect, only a Sixth Realm expert can make a sword of this level."
