Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"In fact, I don't know that Keqing at all. But if the fairy goes with me this time, maybe we can meet her."

"Fairy, you may not know yet, but the source of the best-quality elixirs that are popular in the market has finally been discovered. It is the recently famous Li City, and that Li City was built by Keqing!"

"Everyone speculated that either the Lord of Li City had a superb ability to refine pills, or that he had a powerful treasure of opportunity, perhaps an alchemy furnace that could make pills with a 100% success rate, or that he had a super powerful ring space with countless spiritual plants inside!"

Yu Qiu narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

"Otherwise, how can there be so many top-grade elixirs? Alchemy technology is one aspect, and the source of spiritual plants is another."

"Of course, I guess the other party must have some power, otherwise how could he be so successful and have so many top-grade elixirs? Maybe it's the support of his family!"

As for the furnace that is 100% capable of making elixirs, well, I've read too many stories, but the mustard seed space is possible.

"Of course, no matter what, Dan City has known about this. It is said that Dan City is furious and is determined to demand an explanation from Li City. It is said that many of the affiliated cities that originally submitted to Li City are wavering, and some have even rebelled. Others who heard about this are ready to take advantage of the situation!"

Speaking of this, Yu Qiu felt a little gloating.

"If we go there early, we can even watch the fun and maybe even find something special... ahem, no, we want to see Keqing."

Yu Qiu completely denied that he was trying to take advantage of a bargain.

Upon hearing the news, Keqing's expression remained unchanged.

"Will Dan City take the initiative to attack Li City? It's just a medium-sized city, and there are many wild beasts in it. Aren't they afraid of making enemies with the wild beasts in the deep forest?"

"Hey, fairy, you are so naive. Wild beasts are nothing. After learning that the elixirs all come from Licheng, and that they have taken away their interests, who wouldn't be angry? This is not just a matter of interests, but also a matter of face."

"Not to mention that there are so many top-grade elixirs in Licheng. Who wouldn't be tempted? How are so many top-grade elixirs made? Where do the spiritual plants come from? Does it control any secret spiritual plant realm? Who wouldn't be greedy?"

Yu Qiu shook his head.

"If this is controlled by an upper city, it's not bad, but a small medium-sized city is like a child holding gold, isn't it? What's more, Li City is in league with those wild beasts. To those cultivators, wild beasts are nothing but walking treasures of nature. With new and old grudges, interests involved, and greed driving them, they will naturally..."

Yu Qiu had said all he wanted to say, and Keqing already understood.

"So, you heard the news and wanted to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters?"

Keqing seemed to be thinking about something. She didn't miss anything the other person said just now.

"Ahem, how could that be? I'm trying to save those treasures that have been ruined. This isn't called picking up bargains."

"Of course, if the fairy wants to make friends with Keqing, then we are helping our friends and protecting their property!"

His words were righteous and stern. Keqing glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

The little coal ball on the side didn't say anything, but looked at the other person with an indescribable look.

This guy is really good at saying that he found a bargain in front of the owner.

I wonder what this person would think if he knew that his master was the Keqing he mentioned.

"In that case, let's go..."

"Go, what are you going for?"

"Go to Licheng."

Keqing glanced at him, flew back to her own flying boat, and started heading for Licheng.

When Yu Qiu saw this, he quickly drove the flying boat to follow.

Back on the flying boat, Little Coal Ball hurried to comfort her.

"Master, don't worry. Licheng will be fine!"

"Since that guy said he just heard the news, there must have been no fight."

However, Keqing shook her head.

"I'm not worried, you don't need to comfort me."

She looked in the direction of Licheng.

"Li Xi didn't give me any feedback, which means it's safe now. And don't forget, the system is still there, and its core is with me. If there was a problem, it would have given an alarm long ago, but I didn't feel it, which means the situation is still under control."

"Oh, is that so? That's good!"

Seeing that his master was as steady as a rock, Little Coal Ball felt relieved.

On the other side, in Licheng, everything was indeed fine as Keqing said, but the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Well, Mr. Deputy City Lord...there is another Heavenly Sovereign outside who is aggressively telling us that if we don't give an explanation, there will be dozens of them this time, and I'm afraid there will be other cities that want to take advantage of the situation to rob us."

Looking at the deputy city lord who looked almost the same as the city lord, the butler spoke in a solemn voice.

Even though he knew that the other party was not the city lord himself, but his pet, he still felt awe in his heart.

This deputy city lord displayed extraordinary abilities when the city lord was away.

She can know the situation outside without leaving her home, she can see clues at a glance in reports and statistics, and she can tell the reasons and truth of big and small things at a glance in front of others. Everyone in front of her seems to be stripped naked, which makes people feel in awe.

The system sighed, thinking that its luck was really bad. Why were these humans so troublesome?

"What explanation? Did you give them face? These people from Dan City!"

"Not only did they bully us, but they also robbed so many of our affiliated cities. How shameless!"

If he had not been connected to his master's glass seal, had he not had the control and surveillance over those city lords, and had been able to communicate with those cities at any time, he would have fallen into the ditch long ago.

"That's true, but they have captured our satellite city and are now surrounding us. They are coming with such a fierce force that everyone is feeling uneasy."

"The beast kings are easy to deal with. They said they would stand together with us, but the others are bound to be a little worried, right?"

The system frowned slightly.

"They have second thoughts?"

"No, they are just worried and want to know when the city lord will come back..."

With the foundation laid by Keqing, as well as the systematic cultivation and maintenance and the expansion and oath of the guard team, although not everyone in Licheng is united, about 80% of them are basically united.

The remaining 20% ​​are all outsiders, businessmen, or circulating immortal cultivators, so it is understandable that they do not have a strong sense of belonging, which is rare in the Hundred Cities.

After all, most citizens only care about their own safety and cultivation, and no one cares who controls the city.

But in this situation where the upper city is obviously aggressive, everyone is surrounded, and Dan City is coming at them aggressively, it is already amazing that everyone can still unite as one.

This shows what the people want. After all, life now is very different from the past. No one wants to be like before, living in fear and uncertainty about life and death.

I can't afford the expensive pills, and when I go out, my life and death are at risk. Even at home, I might be killed when the city is broken at any time. Who would like such a life?

It’s not like now when we have the protection of a powerful city. The terrifying fallen beasts have become easy resources to harvest. If we get injured when we go out to kill wild beasts, we can get free treatment. The price of elixirs is good and the efficacy is good and cheaper than outside.

And many benefits, such as joining the guard and contributing to the city, you can get a certain contribution, which can be exchanged for skills, elixirs, etc.

It can be said that there is already a cone combining sect + city.

And it was the kind of complete harmony where there were no major conflicts and everyone was united.

Such an environment is like a paradise for the cultivators in Huangzhou.

Therefore, more and more foreign monks have come these days, and Licheng has expanded several times, but it is still not enough!

"In that case, let them threaten us, just ignore them. With the barrier in place, even those with bad intentions can't get in. Unless the True Lord takes action, we are not afraid."

"Besides, there are people from Tianyi City and other cities who are teaching in the academy. What are we afraid of them doing?"

Speaking of these people, the butler's eyes twitched.

I don't know how the city lord fooled people, but all these playboys from hundreds of cities swarmed here, talking about studying or something, which made everyone confused for a moment.

Later, they learned from their words that their city lord actually had the ability of a Taoist master. His casual guidance could greatly increase the strength of those playboys in Tianyi City and help them break through bottlenecks. For a moment, they were shocked and envious, and that's why all the playboys flocked over.

However, the city lord was not there, so he had no choice. Facing these playboys who came for help, it would not be good to allow them to destroy the atmosphere in the city.

However, those dandies who were taught by the city lord seemed to have already understood the city lord's plan and had anticipated it. After discussing with the deputy city lord, they finally established a school in the city.

Those playboys in Yitian City are the teachers, and the others who come here because of their reputation are the students, and then a contribution system is set up.

There are contributions for studying, for donating things, and for working for Licheng. Once you have accumulated enough contributions, even spending money will contribute. You can find out based on your contribution requests when the city lord comes back.

At first, those playboys who came here because of his reputation refused. But when they heard that they could exchange their contributions for better elixirs, exquisite alchemy and refining techniques, and could use their contributions to ask the city lord for guidance, they immediately agreed.

Moreover, the people of Yitian City also had good experiences after receiving guidance from the City Lord. As a result, those playboys actually injected a lot of vitality into the city, such as spending money like water.

In other cities, if you spend money, you will be mocked as a playboy, but it is different here. Spending money also makes a contribution! You can also get good things, take photos with the beast king cubs that you have never seen before, and even rent beast kings to serve you, and you will not be looked down upon!

After a few visits, those playboys actually liked this place more.

The system also knows that humans always like to think about random things.

"If you're worried, that's because there aren't enough things to do. Give them some more tasks."

The butler's eyes twitched.

"it is good."

"Don't worry about the affairs of the subsidiary cities. They are only managed superficially."

Fortunately, the city lord seal distributed by Li Xi has the ability to monitor and supervise. Those who have ulterior motives have already been marked, and those who don't have ulterior motives have secretly informed Dancheng of their intentions. The system also allows them to pretend to surrender.

The system calculated the probability and found that the probability of failure is very high.

Dan City is coming with great force this time. Those affiliated cities don't have much combat power. As long as the people of the city have a place to go, their faith will continue. Substantial surrender is of no use at all.

If we hadn't known that those guys in Dan City had such a plan, the distributed pills would have fallen into the tiger's mouth long ago!

This also caused Licheng to retreat from its control over those affiliated cities one by one, but there was nothing it could do, after all...

At this moment, the system suddenly sensed something and was stunned.

The butler was also hesitant.

"But, there are more and more people outside clamoring, and they may be getting impatient."

“Although there are people from other Hundred Cities here, Dan City doesn’t seem to want to give them face.”

Before, it was because those playboys from the Hundred Cities were here that Dan City didn't dare to act rashly. After all, they had to give them some face.

The reason why a dandy is called a dandy is because he follows his heart, likes to go against his family, and has money! Otherwise, he wouldn't be called a dandy, and his cultivation wouldn't be improved.

Now that he has come to Licheng, those family members will not be happy, as their own playboy needs to make progress.

It is also because of them that the circulation of Licheng is not affected even though it is under siege.

However, Dancheng kept putting pressure on them, and even those hundred cities had to take it into consideration. After all, the Dandies could be abandoned at any time, compared to Dancheng.

"In that case, let's fight."

"what?"

The housekeeper was stunned.

"Go find the beast kings stationed there and prepare to mobilize the guards. Tell them to fight back if anyone shouts!"

Thinking of something, the system emphasized the sound.

“No need to show mercy!”

It seems that the servant is like the master. The stupid system of the previous host was also a bit stupid, but now that Keqing is the master, the system feels that it has become smarter, and even the style is more similar.

Now, every move she makes is as clean and decisive as Keqing.

"But……"

"I heard from the grapevine that the reason why Dan City didn't take action was because they were waiting for someone... waiting for another powerful person."

Since the butler said he is a powerful being, does that mean he is a true lord?

"Look..."

"Don't worry, the master is coming back."

"real!?"

"Yeah, that's why I said I'd keep them company!"

The butler was stunned, then delighted!

That's really good!

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

With Keqing as a reassurance, the whole city began to move actively.

The situation was that Dan City was shouting and oppressing every day, while Li City was hiding in a passive defense, and they were besieged inside. Everything was in their grasp and they were at ease.

But for some reason, these few days, as if they were angry, the people inside actually started to fight back, and beat up the people from Dan City all over the place! They were stunned all of a sudden!
