I have the best bloodline

Cultivators are usually not sick, but when they do get sick, it is very difficult for them to heal on their own and they must receive treatment and conditioning.

Su Yan couldn't explain the specific principles, but Qingya's general idea was that cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above have physiques that are different from ordinary people. Ordinary wind and dampness cannot make cultivators sick. Once a cultivator gets sick, it means that there is a serious problem with the cultivator's body, which is why wind or other factors can invade the body.

The chill that permeates Flower City is different from the cold and snow in nature. It contains a damp poison with a very strong corrosive effect, which will affect the balance of the five elements in a cultivator's body and cause the cultivator to suffer from serious illness.

This is why the Red King's adjutant resolutely refused to drag the iceberg back to the Red King's mansion.

In a flower-growing region, this might just mean that ordinary people get sick and need some medicine, but in the Red King's Palace, a spiritual plant garden spanning tens of thousands of acres would be doomed.

"Are you also afraid of the cold?"

Sitting on a small stool, Qingya used a round fan to control the fire of the charcoal stove around her while applying a moisturizing ointment to the medicinal herbs. She looked down at Su Yan, who was shivering in her arms, and asked him a question.

Su Yan, as white as frost and snow, looked like an elf living in the snow, unlike the leopard bloodline within her that lived in the hot desert.

Seeing a snow fox complaining about the cold weather, Qingya always sensed something subtle.

"Of course it's cold! I used water heating when I spent the winter in Xia Yu City."

Su Yan said with a helpless expression, "I don't know when Grand Tutor Jin will be able to return. It's been almost two months since the academy's spring outing ended."

Since Grand Tutor Jin returned to Xia Yu, the person in charge of providing support for the students training at the academy has changed to Dao Hua Zhen Jun.

Dao Hua Zhenjun's duties were like security, and he did not have the authority to interfere with the academy's spring outing. During this period, Grand Tutor Jin did not return to the Red King's Mansion at all, which caused the spring outing, which should have ended a month and a half ago, to be delayed until August.

In the past, Su Yan didn't care how long the spring outing ended. After all, cultivating anywhere was still cultivating, and the government office had plenty of spirit stones to spend on him.

But the weather in the flower-growing area is too extreme now, and Su Yan really misses her aunt's house a little.

"I have received your letter."

Just as Su Yan was complaining about the weather and the unreliable decisions of the academy, Feng Shiqi, wrapped in winter clothes, walked in from outside. She looked around and saw Su Yan in Zang Qingya's arms. She subtly pursed her lips, seemingly a little unhappy, but she still walked up to Su Yan and handed him a storage bag.

"A storage bag? What did Sister Nanwu send me this time?"

Looking at the storage bag that Feng Shiqi handed over, Su Yan spoke with a slightly subtle expression.

Since the beginning of last month, Jiao Nanwu, who lives far away in Xia Yu City, has been sending food to himself from Xia Yu City via the post station and official special line.

Most of the dishes are medicinal cuisine, mainly covering aspects of regulating one's own qi, blood, and energy.

Occasionally, there are some that strengthen the body's foundation and nourish the essence.

Of course, Su Yan couldn't recognize these things. The reason she knew the uses of those medicinal dishes was because Qing Ya explained them to her.

To put it elegantly, these medicinal dishes have a strong sense of craftsmanship. They are the proper medicinal recipes that many human cultivators use to nourish their bodies two or three months in advance when preparing to reproduce.

Merfolk also store fat in late summer and early autumn for use during the winter.

The merfolk, who stay at home during the winter, do not feel bored. Instead, they welcome the annual breeding season, during which they share the prey they bring back from outside.

Judging by the time, the merganser is indeed approaching its breeding season, so it should be making preparations, right?

The fact that she specially sent medicinal food from Xia Yu is not something inexplicable.

She was accumulating fat to make herself more voluptuous, and also to help Su Yan get better, so that, like last year, Jiao Nanwu was willing but the little fox was powerless, and she was even worried that Jiao Nanwu might crack his hip bone.

"What's inside?" Qingya asked Su Yan curiously, inquiring about the medicinal food in the storage bag.

"A pot of soup, and lots of beetles in it," Su Yan said, his eyes twitching slightly.

"beetle?"

Qingya pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the girl who sent this item didn't even bother to pack it properly. The beetle for making soup should logically be a water beetle."

"It is mainly used to treat conditions that are difficult to lift or float, and it also has a mild moisturizing and strengthening effect and can treat kidney disease."

Su Yan thought for a moment, then silently extended his fox paw and made a "6" gesture.

Sister Nanwu, your treatment is spot on!

The main concern is that she's terrified she won't be able to get pregnant!

Chapter 364 County Magistrate? No, no, no, you can keep him!

"Give me some warmth too."

Dressed in winter clothes, Princess Luanming returned to the government office from the street. She looked around and fixed her gaze on Su Yan in Qingya's arms. She hugged Su Yan tightly and let out a long, comfortable sigh.

Princess Luanming was also someone who was afraid of the cold. The thin Luan bird bloodline in her body made her extremely averse to the cold, especially when the temperature reached below zero.

The fox, lying in front of the charcoal stove, stretches out its body, its fur accumulating a large amount of heat. When you hug it tightly, the fur squeezes out waves of heat that hit you.

After using the heat stored in the fox fur, you can also put it in your arms to warm your stomach; it's really very useful.

When Princess Luanming was in Xia Yu City, she kept a red fox as a hand warmer. Unfortunately, the red fox died last winter due to a serious illness, and was unable to continue to fulfill its duty as a hand warmer for Princess Luanming.

Ugh, this weather!

Princess Luanming grabbed Su Yan and rubbed against him, squeezing out his body heat. She then placed Su Yan on her lower abdomen, which wasn't covered by her fur coat, and looked at Feng Shiqi, who was warming herself by the fire and applying herbal remedies. She said:

"When I went to the countryside on business, I met the clerk from the Red King's Mansion. He told us to prepare for the handover, as Grand Tutor Jin was going to return and give us a comprehensive evaluation of our spring outing."

"Finally... can I go home?"

Su Yan, who was lying on Princess Luanming's lap as a hand warmer, raised her head with a look of surprise on her face.

"What? We're going back now?"

Zhou You, who was drunk and asleep under the bench, suddenly sat up straight upon hearing the news from Princess Luanming, knocking over the chair in front of him. His face filled with shock, he looked at the crowd and said:

"How come it's so fast? We've only just conquered the flower region and the southern Xinjiang region, and we haven't even enjoyed them yet!"

In just about six months, the group went from being penniless and disliked when they first arrived in the flower-growing region to becoming powerful county magistrates. They also formed a village-owned enterprise to make a fortune in the southern Xinjiang region and earned a highly respected reputation.

Currently, everyone in the flower area and the southern Xinjiang area only needs to lie on their laurels and enjoy life!

In the past, Zhou You would have to mix three catties of water with two catties of spirit wine to barely satisfy his craving. Sometimes he couldn't even get spirit wine and could only drink yellow wine. Now, he only drinks pure spirit wine without any water!

Now is the time to enjoy life, but the news brought back by Princess Luanming was like a bolt from the blue for the impoverished Zhou You, leaving him completely stunned.

"It feels so bad."

Zhou You lay on the ground, her face contorted with a look of impending despair, muttering ill words about Grand Tutor Jin.

"Brother Zhou, think more positively. Here at the government office, each of us can get tens of thousands of catties of spirit stones. As for Grand Tutor Jin, we should be able to earn over a hundred thousand after completing the academy's spring outing. By then, you'll have two hundred thousand catties of spirit stones in your hands. Where in the world can't you go?"

Su Yan smiled and began to comfort Zhou You.

In the flower-growing region and the southern Xinjiang region, although Su Yan had already made a name for himself in both places, the landlords and gentry would fawn over him whenever they saw him, their obsequiousness impossible to conceal. They all wanted to ride in the village that Su Yan had spearheaded to build, hoping to use their resources to make quick money outside.

However, Su Yan had no lingering feelings about it.

They spent their days sitting in the government office from nine to five, or running to the brothel next door to discuss business, while deliberately dividing and suppressing landlords and gentry from different classes, so as not to let them unite and weaken the power of the government office.

Being a county magistrate is really exhausting, even with the magistrate's job divided into five parts, with five people working in different areas. If Su Yan were really asked to manage the rural economy, public security, people's livelihood, judgment, and taxation, he would be exhausted to death.

Having worked before, Su Yan had come to understand why her aunt, whose cultivation had reached the Earth Immortal realm, didn't seek a high-paying job in the Xia Yu court but instead chose to obtain a license issued by the Ministry of Rites to run a brothel and receive a minimum living allowance.

The work of Xia Yu's officials was really too busy. When handling cases, they had to follow the law and the actual situation. It wasn't like they could do whatever they wanted.

The superiors are watching, and the subordinates below are also eyeing their positions. If one of them is overworked to death, the adjutant can take over his position and happily work away.

Su Yan used to think that the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was joking with him, saying that every year at the end of the year, many officials would die suddenly from overwork at their posts.

Su Yan is currently in charge of only one city, while the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of all household registrations in the Xia Yu Dynasty, as well as the assessment, promotion, conferment, annual inspections of officials in various regions, and the storage of the archives of the six ministries.

It's better to have a guaranteed income; you don't have to work hard or bear a lot of responsibilities, and you don't have to deceive your superiors or subordinates, or constantly worry that the Demon Suppression Bureau or the Ministry of Personnel will find out about your misconduct.

………………

"This is what you are."

Seeing Su Yan and his group exchange the official seal of the Flower City Magistrate and the key to the warehouse with him, the Flower City Magistrate was as if he had seen a ghost. He hurriedly declined and did not dare to take back his official seal.

Su Yan is now at the height of his power in the flower industry, leading everyone to make a fortune everywhere, and he can even take spirit stones from the Red King's pocket to distribute pensions to everyone.

He generously used the king's money to gain fame and managed the flower city well, both inside and out. He even managed to send those scoundrels to jail. This was all about fairness, reason, and legality, which raised the local moral standards.

The position of county magistrate in charge of flower production is not one that just anyone can hold.

To make money, you have to compete with the ruthless bandit Su Yan.

The level of public security is comparable to that of Feng Shiqi.

When it comes to judging cases and enforcing the law, one must compare oneself to Princess Luanming. Even the idle Zhou You can pull various clans and demons together at a table to chat and resolve the grudges and estrangements that originally existed between the clans and groups.

They are all temporary workers who come here mainly to experience life and guide the locals. They are like saints reincarnated, gods who can give you whatever you need, and can even squeeze it out of the local area or the Red King's pocket if you don't have it.

Now, the people of Huahua should quickly erect a monument for Su Yan and his group to commemorate their kindness and selflessness.

Even Qingya, who rarely goes out and usually stays at home in the government office, was the one who provided free medicine to the people during the invasion of the southern border and the recent abnormal weather.

What makes him think he can compare to these saints? He'd probably be hanged by the angry villagers and local gentry the very next day after he took office as county magistrate, and then he'd have to ask the Red King to bring Su Yan and his group back.

Therefore, upon seeing Su Yan return the official seal and the treasury key, the former magistrate of Huahuicheng County jumped up from his fishing chair as if his pants were on fire, hurriedly refusing the official seal handed to him, and said with a wry smile:

"The position of county magistrate is really unnecessary. You've set the standards for county magistrates so high. If I go back now, those landlords who were originally counting on you to help them make money, and the common people who have benefited from your kindness, will all think that I've seized power and kicked you out of the government office."

"Let's send the official seal to the Red King's Mansion and let those gentlemen decide how to appoint the next magistrate! I don't want to hang on a tree and swing on a swing," the former magistrate of Huayuan County said with a helpless expression.

He didn't think he could do better than Su Yan.

With the backing of the imperial court, Su Yan could even influence the direction of the Crimson King Army. He could use the Crimson King Army's power and vast funds to lead everyone to make money. The original county magistrate, on the other hand, dared not provoke the Crimson King Army, as he had neither Grand Tutor Jin nor Daoist True Monarch supporting him.

If someone actually dares to do what Su Yan did, they'll probably graduate from the cultivation world and return to the Netherworld in the next second.

After saying that, the former county magistrate of Huahui County immediately ran away, giving Su Yan and his group no time to react.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 365 Recall (Third Update)

"When it really came time to leave, I was a little reluctant to go."

Having failed to return the official seal, the group could only head towards the Red King's Mansion. Su Yan stood on the hillside, gazing at the newly built Flower City in the distance, and a touch of sadness welled up in her heart.

Sigh. There's no more fruit from the old mountain god to eat, and I can't mooch off the flowers at their house anymore.

The fruits produced by the Old Mountain God are the finest of the finest in every aspect. They can even boost one's cultivation by consuming them. Plant spirits that expend spiritual energy to cultivate fruits like the Old Mountain God are rare in the cultivation world.

Unfortunately, the old mountain god had only recently emerged from the iceberg and was still in the flowerpot, composting with wood ash made from spiritual plants to recuperate. It wouldn't be able to produce fruit for the next few years.
