Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 252 Reconstruction
"Thank you, City Lord!" Master Gu expressed his gratitude excitedly.

Don't underestimate the assets allocated to him by Li Zhen. This asset is the asset of a Jindan force.

Relying on this asset, Master Gu can completely recruit back the scattered disciples of Shifang Valley, and also recruit new disciples for training.

"Just do your job well and teach Li Da how to manage Anqing City!" Li Zhen continued.

Master Gu knew that Li Zhen kept Li Da by his side not only for study but also for surveillance, and he was willing to accept this supervision.

Li Zhen admired Master Gu's ability very much. Master Gu got things done in a short time. His ability was indeed very strong.

That's why he gave enough benefits just to make Gu Zhenren do his work with peace of mind.

"Mr. Li, please stay!" Li Zhen waved his hand and said when Master Gu was leaving.

Master Gu bowed and withdrew, as there were still many matters in the city that needed to be dealt with.

"Take these two magic weapons and refine them to quickly form the golden elixir combat power!" Li Zhen took out the third-order medium-grade flying sword magic weapon and the third-order low-grade shield magic weapon and handed them to Li Dadao.

Li Da had no magic weapon on him, and he had no objection to accepting the magic weapon given by Li Zhen. He was Li Zhen's servant, and everything he had belonged to Li Zhen.

He was very excited when he received the two magic weapons.

Although he has been promoted to the Jindan realm, without a third-order magic weapon of a Jindan Zhenren, his combat power is only at the lowest level of a Jindan Zhenren.

"Young Master, I have a method of refining corpses here. I can refine the corpses of monks into zombies and make them my assistants!" Li Da put away the two magic weapons, took out a blank jade slip, and said while recording.

"Since you have the method to refine corpses, these four golden elixir corpses are left to you!" Li Zhen waved his hand and said.

He threw a storage bag to Li Da. He didn't have time to refine the corpse. Since Li Da knew the method to refine the corpse, he let Li Da handle it on his own.

Li Da took the storage bag and looked at the four Jindan corpses in the storage bag. He originally wanted to enhance Li Zhen's strength in this way, but he didn't expect that Li Zhen gave him the Jindan corpses.

The corpse of a golden elixir is an extremely precious material. If it is really refined into a zombie, even if it retains half of its combat power when alive, it will still be an extremely powerful assistant.

Li Zhen doesn't care about zombies. The zombies' weaknesses are too obvious. Under his 'Nine Heavens Purple Lightning Technique', even third-level zombies can't resist.

Besides, he didn't have time to refine corpses. He had a lot to practice every day, so he might as well practice more instead of refining corpses.

Even if the corpse of Master Qiang Zhongjie was made into a refined corpse, its strength would at most be the weakest among the middle-stage Jindan. However, such strength would still be too weak in front of Li Zhen.

Waving his hand to let Li Da leave, Li Zhen entered the training room and began to practice in the third-level medium-quality spiritual environment.

Li Zhen did not return to the fairyland immediately, but decided to wait here for a while to see how other cities and forces reacted to the change of ownership of Anqing City.

In the following days, the City Lord's Mansion began recruiting again.

Monks are very realistic people. They don’t know who the new city lord is, but one thing is certain, the new city lord must be stronger than Master Qiang Zhongjie.

The new city lord is powerful, and the monks in the city feel more at ease. They did not choose to leave Anqing City. Except for a small number of people who are waiting and watching, the rest have returned to their usual lives.

Under Master Gu's various operations, Anqing City gradually returned to peace.

There was almost no trouble and Anqing City was completely taken over.

Master Gu was also watching. When he received the news that nearby forces similar to Anqing City had recognized that Anqing City had changed its owner and maintained the same business dealings as before, Master Gu finally felt relieved.

A month had passed, and Master Gu was somewhat impatient to send out a message, asking the escaped disciples of Shifang Valley to come to Anqing City.

Not many disciples escaped from Shifang Valley. The disciples summoned by Gu Zhenren came very slowly. The first group to arrive was Gu Jun and a group of children.

There is no way. Although these children can be taken care of there, there is no guarantee of resources.

Now that Master Gu has a place to stay and has the protection of Master Jindan, An Qingcheng is naturally the best choice.

When Gu Jun saw An Qingcheng's outline, the worry on his face disappeared.

"Thank you for the escort!" He bowed to thank the monks who escorted him. These monks were invited by the family and their strength was only in the late stage of Qi training. It was definitely enough for several monks in the late stage of Qi training to escort a group of children in terms of safety.

But since it was a long journey after all, Gu Jun remained cautious.

Of course, he also has a trump card, which is Skylark. If he really encounters any danger, or even if the late-stage Qi training cultivator he is escorting turns against him, he has the ability to solve the problem.

However, as a Qi-cultivating cultivator, the fact that he had a second-level spiritual pet was not something that could be publicized to the public, as it would easily attract the covetousness of others, so he had been carefully keeping this secret.

Just as several escorting monks were preparing to return the gift, a golden elixir aura came, and then a figure appeared in front of them.

The faces of several escorting monks changed drastically and they dared not move, for fear of causing any misunderstanding.

When Gu Zhun saw the person coming, he hurried forward, knelt down and kowtowed.

"You don't need to be so polite when you see grandpa in the future. We are all family!" The person who came was Master Gu. He smiled kindly and helped Gu Zhun up.

The Gu family has quite a few direct descendants. Although Gu Zhun was valued by the family in the past, he was just one of the many descendants of Gu Zhenren.

In addition, since they were in the Shifang Valley sect, whenever Gu Zhun saw Gu Zhenren, he always addressed him as ancestor and never addressed him by any personal name.

"Yes, grandpa!" Gu Zhun was stunned, but he immediately reacted, stood up and replied.

Master Gu was very satisfied with Gu Zhun's intelligence, no wonder he could be friends with Li Zhen.

If Gu Zhun and Li Zhen were not friends, he would have been afraid that he would have lost his life this time. How could he have had such a good opportunity to rebuild Shifang Valley so quickly?

In order to settle down in Anqing City for a long time, he has decided to focus on training Gu Zhun. No matter how poor Gu Zhun's talent is, he must at least be promoted to the foundation-building stage. In this way, Shifang Valley will be under the protection of that person for at least a hundred years.

At this moment, the several escorting monks were all hoping for luck. If they really had any ideas on the way, they would probably not have a good ending.

Who would have known that an escort mission would involve a Jindan Zhenren? Those who are interested among them are already considering how to establish a deep friendship with the person who is assigned the mission.

"Grandpa, the people I brought are in the carriage behind!" Gu Zhun said, pointing at the carriage behind him.

There was no other way but to take a carriage. Most of these children had no cultivation, and he didn't have a flying boat to travel, so he could only travel by carriage.

Master Gu scanned the area with his divine sense and recognized that these were the most promising children of the Gu family.

"Thank you for your hard work!" He patted Gu Zhun's shoulder gently and said.

With this group of children, not to mention Shifang Valley, the Gu family lineage alone can continue.

Master Gu personally brought Gu Zhun and the others into the city and arranged for them to stay in a big house.

After settling the children, Master Gu called Gu Zhun into the study.

"Do you know who the mayor of Anqing City is?" Master Gu asked after he asked Gu Zhun to sit down.

Gu Zhun felt a little uneasy. Although Master Gu was his grandfather, to be honest, Master Jindan was very indifferent to family affection.

As far as he knew, the reason why the Gu family had so many direct descendants was because Master Gu felt that his life span was very limited, so he used a secret method to consume himself in order to have several children. Master Jindan's feelings for his descendants were also focused on his children.

As for his grandchildren and future generations, Master Gu did not invest much emotion in them.

This is not because of lack of emotion, but because Jindan Zhenren has a very long lifespan and has seen too many separations and deaths, as well as the impermanence of the world, so he has learned how to control his emotions.

Now that Master Gu treats him so..., Gu Jun wanted to find a suitable word to describe it. He thought of humility, but when he used this word to describe Master Gu, he always felt a little dreamy.

"My grandson doesn't know much about An Qingcheng. He must be some powerful Jindan Zhenren!" Gu Zhun shook his head, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, thought for a while and answered.

"The current lord of Anqing City is named Li Zhen!" Master Gu said with a smile.

"Li Zhen, is this the Li Zhen I know?" Gu Zhun said in disbelief. He was convinced of this guess only when he saw Gu Zhenren nod with a smile on his face.
