Landlord Era: I can upgrade my entries

"Disappeared? What do you mean?"

Lu Changqing was stunned. It wasn't death, it wasn't missing, it was disappearance.

"It means exactly what it says: Wei Jiusi, along with his cave world, disappeared without a trace."

Ye Xuanbei's tone was calm, but it sent chills down one's spine.

If you say that the cave world was invaded, that's still acceptable, but its disappearance seems very strange.

There was no news sent out, and they did not disappear after opening the star path.

"Because Wei Jiusi disappeared, the Wei family was leaderless, and several families had their eyes on the position of city lord."

"Is your Ye family also...?"

Lu Changqing frowned slightly, his mind filled with doubt.

"If only it were that simple."

Ye Xuanbei smiled bitterly. He could understand suffering some losses in the struggle for the position of city lord, but the Ye family hadn't done anything at all.

His father Ye Cang's cave world had already been targeted by forces in the myriad star seas.

After Ye Xuanbei's explanation, Lu Changqing fell into thought.

When the upper class fights for the position of city lord, the lower class will inevitably suffer as a result.

It may not be apparent now, but as the competition intensifies, the prices of various resources will rise, and it may even make people rich overnight.

Low-level landlords, unless they can be self-sufficient, can forget about having the resources to cultivate.

By using two simple tactics—high prices to drive down prices and low prices to inflate prices—lower-class landowners can be forced to sign unequal contracts.

After all, this is a struggle between landlords; the winner can sit in the position of city lord of Weicheng.

If you lose, there will be no follow-up.

"The winds are starting to blow over the Acropolis. I suggest you leave with me, Lao Lu."

Ye Xuanbei suddenly suggested that his father felt something was wrong with the position of city lord this time, and even planned to send him away.

The fact that the forces in the myriad stars and seas suddenly invaded his father's cave world could not be so simple.

There is only one possibility: that a landlord has reached some kind of cooperative relationship with the forces in the myriad stars and seas.

Ye Xuanbei hoped that Lu Changqing could leave Weicheng with him.

Lu Changqing pondered for a moment, then the Cave Heaven-level Landlords vied for the position of City Lord.

This is not something a small-time player like him can participate in; he'll either become cannon fodder or be caught in the aftermath.

Neither outcome is something he can handle right now.

"I see."

Lu Changqing nodded slightly. Ye Xuanbei was already being generous by telling him this relatively confidential information.

He wasn't stupid; he had only been a landlord for a short time, and this matter was simply not something he could get involved in at this stage.

"Three days later, I will head to Yunlan City, where resources are more abundant and it is more suitable for our development."

"Come with me then."

Ye Xuanbei smiled again and said to Lu Changqing.

"You want me to help you cultivate the Thousand-Leaf Blue Silver Grass, right?"

Looking at Ye Xuanbei's expression, Lu Changqing said irritably.

He felt that Ye Xuanbei was 70% after the Thousand-Leaf Blue Silver Grass, but he could understand that a shared interest would create a better balance.

Otherwise, why would Ye Xuanbei tell him such confidential information about Weicheng?

"You really know me! Let's have another drink!"

Ye Xuanbei slapped his thigh and said, holding up a wine glass.

"No rush, these are fifty-seven Thousand-Leaf Blue Silver Grasses."

Lu Changqing took out a spatial bag and placed it in front of Ye Xuanbei.

"So fast?"

Ye Xuanbei looked surprised. The Thousand-Leaf Blue Silver Grass takes two years to mature and needs to absorb enough starlight power.

Their Ye family's third-tier Wood Spirit Clan can only guarantee a maturity every six months at most, and that's only because they lack the power of stars.

"It was just a bit of luck."

Lu Changqing smiled and simply glossed over the matter without going into details about the opportunity.

Ye Xuanbei didn't ask any further questions. He smiled, picked up the spatial bag, and then took out a spatial bag himself, took out seven thousand star crystals, and handed them to Lu Changqing.

"Even between brothers, accounts should be settled clearly. Fifty Blue Silver Grasses will be used to offset the Star Moon Foundation Stones from last time, and the remaining seven will be worth one thousand Star Crystals each."

"no problem."

Lu Changqing smiled, then took out another fist-sized item.

"Do you want this?"

"What is it?"

Ye Xuanbei looked at the dark stone with a puzzled expression.

It looks like a star crystal, but without any light spots; it also looks a bit like a star and moon base stone, but lacks a certain strange charm.

"This item is called Starstone. It contains the pure power of starlight and can be used to temper the physical body, innate energy, and even the spirit."

Lu Changqing explained with a smile that this thing was a starstone condensed by Nanxingluo, and he felt that it was better to trade it to Ye Xuanbei than to sell it to Tongbaolou.

"Starstone?"

Ye Xuanbei held the starstone in his hand and then tried to absorb the star power within it.

A cool, refreshing aura entered his body from his palm.

The skin, blood, meridians, bones, and even the innate energy within the body are all swept over by this cool sensation.

This feeling finally entered his mind, making him feel refreshed.

"Ah~"

A very pleasant sound came from his mouth.

"How does it feel?"

Lu Changqing asked with a smile.

"This thing has a strong tempering effect. Just absorbing a wisp of star power made me feel much lighter."

Lu Changqing smiled and then explained, "One starstone can be used for both the first and second tiers. The first tier can be tempered a hundred times, and the second tier can be tempered ten times."

He had already experienced the effects of the starstone.

It is definitely much stronger than ordinary second-tier items on the market. It is already a top-tier second-tier treasure, after all, it can temper the body, qi, and spirit at the same time.

This alone is enough to easily surpass the effects of ordinary second-tier spiritual plants.

"Do you want it?"

Lu Changqing asked with a smile.

"Yes, we absolutely have to! Lao Lu, name your price!"

Ye Xuanbei put down his wine glass, his eyes shining, and slapped the table as he spoke.

This is more suitable for cultivating strong individuals, such as generals who lead armies into battle.

The general is the soul of the army!

The saying "A bad soldier is bad for one person, a bad general is bad for a whole army" is just that simple.

Having a strong leader and not having a strong leader are two different things.

Lu Changqing smiled and held up five fingers, saying, "I don't have many on hand right now, but I can trade you fifty."

"Currently? You mean!?"

Ye Xuanbei naturally understood the meaning behind his words, and his eyes lit up again.

"That's right, this thing is a second-tier treasure after all, so its production volume is definitely not as good as that of Xuanzhong Spirit Liquid."

Lu Changqing nodded slightly, his tone somewhat indifferent.

"No way, buddy, this is..."

Ye Xuanbei looked surprised. It felt like a year or two had passed since he started preparing to establish his dynasty.

It should be understood that whether it is rare and precious materials or spiritual plants and herbs, the first to third ranks are all spiritual level, the fourth to sixth ranks are earth level, and the seventh to ninth ranks are heaven level.

Among second-tier treasures, starstones are considered top-tier treasures.

For most landlords to mass-produce such top-tier second-tier items, it would take three to five years of development.

As a result, Lu Changqing only took a little over two months.
