Ma Kun looked at the young man in front of him in shock.
His mind was gradually warming up.
On the one hand, he was really persuaded by Chen Yu.
On the other hand, although he looked young and had a low cultivation level, he might have some status and influence in Chang 'an.
If this so-called Mohist path really didn't work out, he might really be able to recommend him to Fuzhen Guan or Fulu Palace.
Even if he took a step back, his identity as the steward of the Palace of Natural Works was real.
Even if he couldn't get anything from Chen Yu, it would be a wasted trip. He wouldn't lose anything.
Thinking of this, Ma Kun immediately agreed.
He followed Chen Yu back to Chang 'an and the Palace of Natural Works.
Being able to enter the heart of Chang 'an already made Ma Kun feel that this trip was worthwhile.
After listening to Chen Yu's detailed explanation, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Chen Yu didn't misjudge him.
Apart from playing with some mechanical beasts, Ma Kun really didn't come into contact with other related engineering crafts.
But he was really talented in this aspect.
He understood Chen Yu's words immediately and could draw inferences about other things from one example. This made Chen Yu feel that he was a like-minded friend.
Ma Kun completely calmed down.
Being able to use his own hobby as the path of cultivation and being full of joy in cultivation made him feel that he was born to be useful.
He was sure that on this path, he could go further than Taoist cultivation.
Ma Kun was overjoyed and felt grateful to Chen Yu.
At the same time, after a serious conversation, he also felt some admiration for Chen Yu.
The other party had casually given him a few pointers, and he was instantly enlightened.
Chen Yu left Ma Kun to study in the Heavenly Palace Palace. He left Chang 'an again and traveled all over the Eastern Border to find talents.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun saw that everything was gradually going on the right track, so he left it to Chen Yu and didn't pay attention to it anymore.
He turned his attention to the place where spiritual fruits and trees were planted in the city.
Mr. Dark Cloud, projected by Zhang Dongyun, appeared in the field.
Soon, a black-scaled snake slithered out of the field.
He transformed into his human form and bowed to Mr. Dark Cloud. "I didn't know you were coming. I apologize for my behavior just now."
"It's alright."
Mr. Dark Cloud said, "You've done your best. This old man has seen it all."
His gaze swept across the herb field, and he saw that the Primordial Mystery Fruit and various other spirit fruits and spirit trees were growing very well.
The evil cultivator named Fang Qiu in front of him was indeed good at taking care of these spiritual flowers and trees.
It was not only because the other party had cultivated the Transformation of the Black Demon Python, which could fight poison with poison and had the effect of cultivating a small number of spiritual fruits.
Fang Qiu also took good care of the other spiritual flowers and trees.
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded in satisfaction. He was not stingy with his praise. "Well done."
Fang Qiu bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, you flatter me. If it weren't for Chang 'an's guidance, how could I cultivate the Devil Soul in such a short time? It's all thanks to the grace of Your Majesty and Sir. "
When he first entered the city, his cultivation was at the seventh level of the Demonic Path, Demon Raising.
Now, he had successfully formed the Devil Soul and reached the eighth level.
"You'll be rewarded for your contributions. You've done well, so you'll naturally be rewarded."
Mr. Dark Cloud said, "However, you'll have to change your position next."
Fang Qiu said, "Please give me your orders."
Speaking of which, he quite liked this place.
Because of the influence of the Demonic Path, some of his temperament and hobbies were gradually similar to the Black Demon Python.
Therefore, taking care of flowers and spiritual herbs slowly became his personal specialty and hobby.
In this herb field, he took care of the spiritual flowers and trees while cultivating on his own, which made him feel carefree.
The only sad period was when Flying Snake Meteor came to fertilize the herb field.
Meteor, as a Flying Snake, suppressed Fang Qiu, who had transformed into the Black Demon Python.
When the Flying Snake wandered underground, Fang Qiu almost did not dare to stay in the field. He was terrified.
Since the Flying Snake left, he breathed a sigh of relief and his life returned to leisure.
However, since Mr. Dark Cloud had ordered him to do so, Fang Qiu naturally followed.
"Go to the Idle Sky Hall."
Mr. Dark Cloud said, "Mr. He is out traveling, and Blood Shadow is often in closed-door cultivation. Hu Ming is the only one in charge of the Idle Sky Hall now. After you go there, familiarize yourself with the environment."
Fang Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
Before he came to the herb field, he knew that one day, he would go to the Idle Sky Hall and report to Blood Shadow.
However, as Chang 'an City continued to expand, it occupied the entire Dongjiang in less than a year. Spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs from all over the world were gradually transplanted to the herb field in Chang' an City.
Fang Qiu took care of them one by one and could not leave.
After that, Blood Shadow began to focus on his own cultivation, so he did not urge Fang Qiu to report to the Idle Sky Hall.
After many delays, Fang Qiu had postponed it until now.
However, since the herb field had stabilized, it was time for Fang Qiu to go to the Idle Sky Hall.
"The situation in the Idle Sky Hall is special. You have to be extra careful with your words and actions. If there are no orders, don't show yourself in the herb field," Mr. Dark Cloud instructed calmly.
Fang Qiu felt a little sorry, but he still answered honestly, "Yes, sir."
He bid farewell to Mr. Dark Cloud and headed to the Idle Sky Hall.
After he arrived, Mr. He and Blood Shadow were nowhere to be seen.
Hu Ming received him and said, "Before Mr. Blood Shadow went into closed-door cultivation, he gave an order to reorganize the entire Dongjiang and focus on the West Sea."
Fang Qiu nodded and said, "I'm new here, so I'm not familiar with everything. Brother Hu, please guide me."
"Don't worry about it."
Hu Ming said cautiously, "Brother Fang, if you need anything, just let me know."
He had also made progress in his cultivation. He had successfully raised the True Demon from the sixth realm to the seventh realm.
However, Fang Qiu had already cultivated the Demonic Soul and was more powerful.
One of them was experienced and the other was at a higher realm. They were both very polite when they talked to each other.
During Shen Herong's absence, Blood Shadow also focused on his own cultivation. The intelligence work in the Idle Sky Hall fell on Hu Ming and Fang Qiu for the time being.
Hu Ming felt threatened by Fang Qiu, but he didn't dare to be careless in his work.
He let Fang Qiu get used to the more mature internal work first.
It was still in the development stage, so it was more difficult. Hu Ming took the responsibility of spying outside the Dongjiang.
Fang Qiu's threat to his status and power was very real.
However, in view of the fact that Chang 'an would reward those who did something and punish those who did something wrong, Hu Ming didn't put his energy into secretly sabotaging them.
He focused all his attention on his own merits.
Even if his position in the Idle Sky Hall was replaced by Fang Qiu, who was more powerful after he got familiar with the situation, Hu Ming believed that Chang 'an would not treat him badly.
Therefore, after a short handover with Fang Qiu and seeing that Fang Qiu gradually got used to it, Hu Ming left the Idle Sky Hall and went all the way to Western Zhou. He was personally responsible for the construction of the intelligence network in the West Sea.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun saw all this and nodded secretly.
All aspects of Chang 'an were now on the right track. Zhang Dongyun was relieved.
His mind left the Daming Palace and the inner city and kept drifting outside, scanning the vast world under his rule.
His gaze drifted to the side, and after a moment, he suddenly stopped.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun's sight passed through the barriers of space and buildings and fell on the Qinzhou Prefecture.
The Qinzhou Prefecture was surrounded by the Chang 'an city wall.
It was located inside the third outer wall. For the large-scale expansion of Chang 'an, it was very close to the central area.
It was not comparable to the inner city, the first outer city, and the second outer city, but it was enough to make many people sharpen their minds to go inside.
The closer it was to the center of Chang 'an, the more cultivators there were.
Zhang Dongyun saw a number one figure here. A martial arts practitioner of the fourth realm suddenly became the boss and took care of a small tavern.
In the earliest days, Guo Zi, the head of the Hanshan school, and Wu Qiong, the head of the Perak Dynasty, were both martial arts practitioners of the fourth realm.
In Dongjiang, in the land of the old Tang, or even in Longbei County, this kind of cultivation was not enough.
They could only run rampant in the Qinzhou Prefecture.
But even so, whether it was Guo Zi or Wu Qiong back then, they could be called the overlords of their respective prefectures.
Among the businesses of the Hanshan school and the Perak Dynasty, there were countless taverns and restaurants.
When had he ever seen Guo Zi or Wu Qiong take care of them personally, and every day at that?
But now, in the Qinzhou Prefecture, Zhang Dongyun found such a buffoon.
He took a quick look. The boss was called He Zhongkun, and he was indeed a true martial arts practitioner of the fourth realm.
However, perhaps because he had neglected fighting with others for a long time, it seemed like his combat ability was not very good now.
He sat in a corner of the tavern with a smile and watched the waiter serve the customers.
Sometimes, he would even do it himself, serving wine and selling wine.
Also, Zhang Dongyun found that his tavern was not only open to cultivators.
Ordinary people could also patronize.
Zhang Dongyun took a few glances and fell into deep thought.
Just like how Chen Yu and Ma Kun loved mechanical engineering, He Zhongkun's hobby was to open a small tavern and be the boss, watching people come and go with a smile.
Perhaps this could also be considered one of the many forms of life?
Zhang Dongyun laughed and shook his head. He no longer paid attention to the small tavern and moved his gaze elsewhere.
He looked out of the Qinzhou Prefecture, then stopped and looked all the way out of Longbei County.
When Zhang Dongyun's gaze swept across Qingyue County, which was southeast of Longbei County, he suddenly paused and then stopped again.
"Chang 'an City has decreed that Qi iron ores are not to be sold privately. Those who violate the order will be executed!"
In a small city in Qingyue County, someone was scolding at this moment.
The merchant who was scolded kept begging for mercy.
Zhang Dongyun's mind moved slightly. He already knew the reason.
The person blocking the road was a disciple of Bifeng Sect, a local sect in Su Jiang Prefecture of Qingyue County.
The merchant's escort said loudly, "Chang 'an prohibits private sales of Qi iron ores, which refers to superior-grade ores with nine holes and above. Our batch only has seven holes, so we did not violate the ban at all."
The Bifeng Sect disciple opposite him sneered, "If I say you violated it, then you violated it!"
The escort said hatefully, "Chang 'an has always been magnanimous, unlike the Eastern Tang in the past where they would behead people at the slightest provocation. You are faking Chang' an's decree!"
The other party laughed loudly, "When Chang 'an troops entered Qingyue County, our sect was the first to submit to them. When it comes to Chang' an's rules, I know them better than you!"
His smile became ferocious, "Chang 'an indeed rarely executes prisoners, but those who disobey orders can be arrested or killed!"
