After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

"However, nowadays, there are no more Fairy Maidens in Golden Deer City, so Golden Deer City no longer needs to regularly send talents to the academy."

Tao Hongzhou gave Lin Heng a slight bow and said, "But the fairy sent to the General Administration Office of the Capital is a secret of the General Administration Office and the Imperial Palace of the Capital. Please do not ask any further questions, young friend Lin Heng."

Lin Heng smiled and said, "Since Golden Deer City no longer needs to send the fairy to the Imperial Palace, of course I won't ask."

Tao Hongzhou was taken aback.

Although Lin Heng seemed to have given him a satisfactory answer, the unspoken message was that if the small courtyard were to involve Jinlu City again, he would investigate thoroughly...

After all, for Lin Heng, Golden Deer City has now become part of his territory.

"All right."

Tao Hongzhou nodded and said to Lin Heng, "I've finished discussing official business, but..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something more.

After all, it was something he found difficult to say.

"Elder Tao, is there anything else you need to do privately?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"This... cough!"

Tao Hongzhou cleared his throat awkwardly and asked cautiously, "I noticed that old fellow Tian Qianchen's Spirit Suppressing Tower formation has some problems, so I'd like to ask if young friend Lin Heng would allow me to visit him at his home?"

Then he hurriedly added, "Although I haven't gotten along with that old guy for many years, we're still old colleagues. It's fine if we bicker occasionally, but we can't really let that old guy get seriously injured... And young friend Lin Heng, you've been busy lately, so you probably don't have time to guide him in setting up the formation, right?"

"Alright, Elder Tao, you can go find Elder Tian anytime you want."

Lin Heng smiled.

He knew that Tao Hongzhou said he was going to find Tian Qianchen, but actually he wanted to observe more of the array formations that he could never construct in his lifetime on his own Cloud Oasis.

This reflects a desire and pursuit of array construction knowledge as an array architect.

So Lin Heng didn't expose him, but quietly added, "Since you're interested in array construction, you can help me maintain it when you have time. Actually, the maintenance work isn't troublesome; it just requires replenishing some spirit stones."

"real?!"

Tao Hongzhou's eyes lit up.

But he immediately realized that he had acted somewhat out of line, so he quickly reverted to his stern face and said seriously, "It is only right that I should disturb young friend Lin Heng's visit."

Lin Heng smiled and nodded.

Although in the eyes of others, it seemed that he was swindling Tao Hongzhou out of his spirit stones.

But in Tao Hongzhou's eyes, being able to access the Chaos Demon Lord's array by spending only a few spirit stones was an incredible bargain...

"Alright, I'll go find the old man at his house right now!"

Tao Hongzhou couldn't wait to walk into the oasis in the clouds.

After watching him leave, Lin Heng turned to Yun Yue and asked, "How's Jinlu City doing now?"

"Most of the fairies are able to accept the proposals that my master and I discussed."

Yun Yue nodded and said, "However, there are a few fairies who have left Golden Deer City because they are used to the life of a fairy maiden who enjoys the fruits of others' labor."

"If they're gone, they're gone."

Lin Heng was not surprised by this, nor was he disappointed.

Although he was short-handed and his territory needed more people to develop, he didn't need a dozen or twenty fairies.

On the contrary, it was those fairies who left.

If they are unwilling to stay in Golden Deer City to work for us, then it's no wonder they might be devoured by the demonic tide one day, or become the spirit vessels of some wealthy merchant.

This was their own choice.

So what Lin Heng really cared about were the fairies who remained: "Have the remaining fairies all agreed to your proposal?"

"Well, at least they didn't refuse and indicated their willingness to cooperate."

Yun Yue said this.

"But verbal agreement is not true agreement."

Lin Heng shook his head and said, "What I need is absolute loyalty, so there is one thing that must be done."

Yun Yue paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Master means... the Slave Spirit Seal?"

"Um."

Lin Heng nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "I will be leaving the Oasis in the Clouds in a few days, so you will be in charge of establishing the spirit seals for these fairies in Golden Deer City. After all, some fairies will perish in Golden Deer City after the Demon Tide."

"I?"

Yun Yue looked at Lin Heng in surprise: "But I have already become my master's immortal slave. How can an immortal slave still form a slave spirit seal for someone else?"

"It should be possible."

Lin Heng himself wasn't entirely sure either.

In fact, he sensed this decision through the power of the rules in the Spirit Mother's Watchful Cultivation Platform.

Whether it's possible or not, we'll have to wait until this array is constructed.

So Lin Heng immediately made a decision: "Then you can come with me to the mine today. I have a new array that I need to construct that is related to you."

Yun Yue's upright body trembled slightly.

Lin Heng had mentioned this array configuration before.

And at that time, the matter of fellow practitioners passing on their knowledge was also brought up with her...

However, seeing that Lin Heng had already stepped down from the Cloud Oasis, Yun Yue quietly followed him.

As she walked, Yun Yue wrapped her arms around her chest, her hands casually touching her tightly wrapped chest with the back of her hands.

Last time in the private room of the Mijin Pavilion, her master's strength was not as rough as other slave masters' strength towards those fairy slaves; on the contrary, it felt gentle to her.

There was even a hint of enjoyment...

Step into Jinlu City.

Lin Heng glanced at the charlatan merchants on both sides of the street.

Compared to when they used to enthusiastically promote their products to Xianyuan, their expressions now were quite displeased and indifferent.

"It seems that the ones who are most affected are the cunning merchants of Golden Deer City."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Yun Yue behind him.

When he turned around, he found that the sect leader of Yunling Sect had a flushed face.

"?"

"Oh, Master, you mean these demon merchants?"

Yun Yue snapped out of her daze and immediately stepped forward to Lin Heng, saying, "Now that there are no more fairy maidens in Golden Deer City, the fairies' spending power is naturally not as strong as before, so I have re-established the prices for Golden Deer City."

"Actually, the demon merchants in these markets are alright. They are small businesses, and they didn't make much money even when Xianyuan was at its peak."

"On the contrary, the other two wealthy merchants in Golden Deer City, one in the business of celestial slaves and the other in foreign trade, are both beneficiaries of the celestial maiden industry. After the announcement this morning that the celestial maiden industry had disappeared, they were already packing their things, preparing to head to the capital to seek new opportunities..."

Lin Heng nodded without saying anything.

Now, Golden Deer City has a new city lord and has established new rules.

Whether they are fairies or ordinary citizens, they all have to adapt to life again.

Those who could adapt stayed and continued their lives.

Those who cannot adapt should leave...

Crossing through Dawn Square.

Lin Heng and Yun Yue soon arrived at the entrance of Xuanji Mine.

"Master, please wait a moment."

At this moment, upon seeing a fairy at the entrance of the mine, Yun Yue stopped and asked Lin Heng in confusion, "Are most of the fairies here former disciples of my Yunling Sect?"

"Um."

Lin Heng guessed what she was thinking, so he nodded and said, "These days, Qinghe and Jingyu have also been coming here often to assist in the development."

"Okay, I understand."

Yun Yue nodded, then took out a veil from her bosom and put it on her face...
