"Um!"

Ni Kun took a deep breath, snapping out of his reverie, and his gaze swept across the curious crowd before him.

Immediately afterwards, he gave Ni Yongxiao a meaningful look, and then turned and walked into the secret room without hesitation.

Throughout the journey, Ni Kun kept reflecting on how he had devoted all his energy to upgrading the strange ancient tree and handling important family matters, neglecting his children...

"From now on, I need to spend more time caring for my children!"

Not long after.

After making some arrangements, Ni Yongxiao hurried over.

He had just entered the door.

"Ah-Xiao!"

Ni Kun sat down at an antique-style tea table, smiling and beckoning, "Come on over! Sit down and rest for a while!"

After Ni Yongxiao took his seat.

"Ugh!"

Ni Kun sighed softly, and while brewing tea, he slowly said, "Ah Xiao... your second brother's condition isn't very good right now!"

Upon hearing this...

Ni Yongxiao looked worried, his brows furrowed, and he let out a long sigh, revealing his deep concern and unease.

After all, Ni Yongwen had the most children in the family, and his second brother's support was very important in many important matters.

"Don't worry!"

Ni Kun calmly picked up the teapot, poured a full cup of tea for the fourth son, and comforted him, "Your second brother is a blessed man!"

He paused, then added, "He's not suffering from poisoning or curses; rather, his lifespan has run out... If we can find some rare and precious medicinal herbs that can nourish his body and extend his lifespan, we can help him temporarily overcome this crisis!"

Elixir.

The grades are determined by the year in which the animal grows.

You should know that there are countless cultivators seeking immortality in the world. Whenever a spiritual herb is discovered in a certain place, cultivators will flock there like dumplings, and the entire land will be plowed up several times.

Therefore, the medicinal herbs that the county town possesses are rare even if they grow for ten years, and those that grow for a hundred years are simply legendary.

In addition, there are countless rare and exotic plants in the world.

But the three categories that are most cherished by the world are the following.

Firstly, there are those potent medicines that can help cultivators break through their own cultivation bottlenecks!

This potent elixir is extremely rare and hard to find, even in bustling provincial capitals. It is usually only possessed by powerful organizations like the Ten Great Sects.

The ten major sects are able to command the obedience of heroes from all over the world precisely because they firmly control the potent medicines and the pathways to immortality...

Secondly, there is the kind of medicine that can prolong life!

Although these miraculous herbs are also rare, they may appear at some auctions in larger county towns or provincial capitals.

Thirdly, there are the yin-nourishing and kidney-tonifying medicines!

Although such elixirs are not difficult to find, their remarkable effects have led to an extremely high demand for them among both immortals and mortals.

Right at this moment.

"Ninth Sister!"

The father and son almost simultaneously thought of Ni Yongtang and Feng Qingyue, who were in the provincial capital on business.

"Okay, okay!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Ni Yongxiao quickly pulled out his communication jade token from his robes: "Father, no matter how high the price, our Ni family must acquire these medicinal herbs!"

After saying that, he sent his second brother's condition and the elixir he needed to Ni Yongtang via the jade tablet without hesitation.

After doing all this.

Ni Yongxiao bid farewell to his father and turned to leave quickly.

When he arrived at Eryueju, he quickly arranged for people to collect all the spiritual medicines in the clan that could nourish the body's vital energy, strengthen the foundation, and prolong life, specifically for his second brother to take.

Sure enough, after drinking mouthfuls of the carefully prepared herbal medicine, Ni Yongwen's condition gradually improved. Although he was still unable to get out of bed, his life was temporarily saved.

"call!"

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their posts to continue their busy work.

After all, after the chaos, everything needed to be rebuilt.

that's it.

Time slips away quietly in the midst of busyness, and a month has quickly passed.

During this period, Ni Kun would visit his second brother whenever he had free time.

Ni Yongwen was a kind person, and being just an ordinary person himself, he treated Ni Kun with warmth and generosity.

In addition, as people get older, they always like to have someone with them, so he was always happy whenever Ni Kun visited.

and.

Ni Yongwen seemed to sense that his time was coming to an end, so he particularly liked to reminisce about old times.

However, he would occasionally pause while speaking, saying that he couldn't remember something for a moment.

However, Ni Kun always kindly reminded him of the keywords.

Seeing the second son's surprised expression, Ni Kun simply replied, "You mentioned it before, so I remember!"

During this period when the father-son relationship was harmonious.

Ni Kun only received two experience points – [Mysterious Ancient Tree: Level 5 (97/100)]

But he knew that everyone was working hard, and once he broke through, he would gain a huge amount of experience points.

The Third Anniversary Celebration!

There are less than three months left.

One morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Ni Yongxiao got up early, holding a huge architectural blueprint in his hand, and walked briskly toward the Bamboo Residence.

This time.

He didn't rush into the house as he had before. Instead, he stopped, glanced around, and then slowly walked to the door, knocked lightly, and politely asked, "Father, are you there?"

Following a response.

Ni Yongxiao then slowly lifted his heel and stepped into the room.

"Father! The construction of the market town is almost complete, according to your requirements... Please also review the planning drawings for the hillside buildings and the protective barrier!"

Ni Yongxiao respectfully handed the blueprints to Ni Kun, then stepped aside and quietly awaited his father's instructions.

Ni Kun took the blueprints and unfolded them for a look.

"good!"

The drawings clearly show the locations of various buildings and facilities, as well as the relationships between them.

The entire plan centers on the mountaintop, with a more powerful first barrier array deployed within it, tightly covering the three major Jian clans.

In this way, if an enemy invades, the first barrier can serve as the last line of defense to ensure the safety of the people.

The entire mountainside was considered the second barrier, with the core of the grand formation set at the mountain gate.

As for the third barrier, it was set up outside the mountain gate, while the core of the great formation was located in the market town.

Yes, when rebuilding the market town, Ni Kun moved the entire market town outside the mountain gate.

This is because the third barrier cannot completely cover the entire port city. There are many reasons for this, but the main one is the lack of spirit stones.

To make the third barrier cover the entire port city, an enormous amount of low-grade spirit stones would be required.

The key is that you'll also need a lot of mid-grade spirit stones!

and.

Ni Kun knew very well that the reason why the Ming Dynasty perished was because it built the best city in the world, but did not have the best soldiers to defend it.

therefore.

After careful consideration, Ni Kun left behind a large number of spirit stones.

It was used to encourage descendants to cultivate with all their might, hoping to break through the bottleneck of their own strength as soon as possible.

At the same time, he was also secretly thinking that it was time to build a large team of guest advisors.

after all.

In this vast world full of competition and crisis, only a sharp spear, not a solid shield, can truly guarantee the safety and prosperity of a family.

Even more importantly, with the disappearance of numerous large and small families across the land, a host of enormous entities are emerging...

Ni Kun knew all too well that when feudal lords rose to power, the world would fall apart!

Therefore, mobile combat power is far more important than a fixed tortoise shell!

After watching.

As Ni Kun handed the architectural blueprints to Ni Yongxiao, he emphasized, "Yongxiao! All the resources for the barriers and the hillside mansion should not be fixed; they should be accessible anytime, anywhere!"

Ni Yongxiao nodded thoughtfully and handed his father a planning map, which detailed the allocation of spirit stones and silver, as well as the cultivation plan for each of his descendants.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

Ni Kun became more and more satisfied with what he saw, and he praised Ni Yongxiao's ability and efficiency.

"Xiao, you did a fantastic job! Your father wants to give you a huge thumbs up!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Yongxiao smiled modestly and quickly made tea for Ni Kun: "Thank you for the praise, Father. It's all I should do!"

Ni Kun smiled and took a sip of tea.

Then he raised his gaze and looked straight at the room opposite: "That girl, Seventh Sister, has been busy at the construction site lately. I haven't seen her for many days!"

then.

Ni Kun's gaze then shifted to the other two rooms, and he muttered to himself, "Those two little ones haven't been home for several days either. They must be in seclusion, breaking through a bottleneck!"

Speaking of it.

Ni Kun smiled slightly and suggested meaningfully, "Why don't we go sit with Fifth Brother and see how this theoretical expert is doing with all those spirit stones you've spent!"

Ni Yongxiao thought to himself that his father must have heard about something happening to Ni Yongxiang, which is why he wanted to go and see.

So he nodded repeatedly, readily agreeing, "Yes! Yes! I'll go with Father to my fifth brother's place right now!"

Afterwards, the father and son walked towards Xiuwu Square while chatting.
