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

Although I have enlightened the mountain gods, there are mountain gods only where there are mountains and rivers. Mountain gods are dependent on the regions. As long as the regions exist and are not polluted, they will continue to exist. Therefore, there is no need to worry about this at all.

However, he did bear the title of Lord of Mountains and Rivers, which did have a certain effect. That was to increase the BUFF, or combat power, of the mountain god that he had enlightened.

But Keqing thought that she didn't need them to fight. She hoped that they would not be discovered, so how could she take the initiative to let them fight?

It would be troublesome if any clues were discovered.

Seeing that everything was fine, Keqing said hello and left.

When I returned to the City Lord's Mansion and just stepped into the door, Ye Shang happened to hand over the plan for recruiting alchemists and the construction plan of the current sky palace.

"The construction of the palace has been completed. All we need now is to connect the formation loop to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion will supply energy. Lord City Lord, do you think there is anything that needs improvement?"

Keqing turned the page of the book, and a 3D projection appeared in front of her. It was the floating palace that had now been completed.

This palace was built to create the characteristics of Licheng, stimulate consumption, divert people, and increase tax revenue for Licheng.

Therefore, it looks particularly beautiful, but it is a bit small. However, it is enough as a consumption venue.

Keqing took a look.

"As expected of a god,

The palace was built really fast."

It is very efficient, but its area is hundreds of times larger than that of the Qun Yu Pavilion, and its formation is not inferior at all. If there is such a tool man in Liyue, there is no need to worry about large-scale construction.

"Well, no problem, I think it's good, let's do it."

"Okay, I understand!"

However, for the sake of rigor, Keqing took the project book and read it carefully. However, she was stunned when she saw the subsequent energy supply.

"Why do you need so many spirit stones?"

"This... the floating palace is like this..."

Keqing frowned.

"But I remember that outside, the consumption was not so high... This is too outrageous."

"Ah! Lord City Lord, you are talking about the outside of the Desolate State! Don't you know that the Desolate State rarely produces floating stones? Most of them need to be transported from other states. Therefore, the number of floating stones is small and the price is scarce. Therefore, the palace can only use the power of the formation to repel the earth's power!"

"That won't do. Cut it off. It will consume too much energy..."

Keqing shook her head.

"If this is really the consumption, it will be a big problem for Licheng's energy consumption. It will also affect the formation, and the tax revenue will drop significantly, and it will be completely unable to make ends meet."

Keqing did not forget that the rules of her own realm were still being enforced. She had already invested most of her strength in it. If she added another floating palace, she would probably be a little stretched.

"But... if we want to reduce the cost, we must have floating stones. However, as you know, there are not that many floating stones in the Desolate State, and the boundary ship, as a treasure of the Desolate State, will not transport such a thing that is of no use to the Desolate State."

That is why floating stones are completely unsalable.

"What if it's not floating in the air? What if it's just a ground building?"

Keqing wanted to ask if there was any way around it. She blamed herself for making a mistake based on her experience. She read in a book that building a floating palace did not consume too much energy to operate, so she mistakenly believed that the same was true for Desolate State.

Who could have imagined the scarcity of the floating stones in Huangzhou? But then again, if there really were a floating city, it would definitely be safer than on the ground, so why not build it in the air?

"No, if it loses the gimmick of floating, it will be no different from an ordinary building. It is precisely because there are few floating stones in the Desolate State that the floating palace is more attractive."

"It's so..."

It’s a pity that this thing doesn’t exist in my space, otherwise Keqing would definitely take it out. I didn’t expect that there would be such a big difference between having or not having the floating stone.

"What, floating stone? You need this? I have it!?"

But at this moment, a head suddenly popped out and stretched out its head curiously.

Ye Shang was stunned.

"You are the one who...fishes in troubled waters?"

"What do you mean by taking advantage of troubled waters! I have a name, my name is Yu Qiu! Yu Qiu, do you understand?"

Yu Qiu was so excited that he secretly looked at Keqing, fearing that she still remembered the old things!

"Oh, Yu Qiu, do you really have that floating stone you mentioned?!"

Ye Shang heard it!

"Yes, it's just floating stones. I once had nothing to do and dug up a vein of minerals. Do you need them?!"

Yu Qiu didn't care what he got. He then searched in his storage ring and quickly took out a storage bag.

"Yes, I found it. This is it. Here, this should be the floating stone you want!"

As he said this, he casually handed it to Ye Shang. Ye Shang took it subconsciously and scanned it with his spiritual sense.

"many!"

Densely packed floating stones look like piles of small hills!

My goodness, how bored can one be to dig so much! ?

As if he was aware of the strange gazes coming from him, Yu Qiu scratched his chin uncomfortably.

"I found a treasure map before, and I discovered this vein while digging a tunnel. In order to hide the treasure, I had no choice but to dig and dig. I didn't expect that this vein ran horizontally. I dug 70% to 80% before I finally dug through it!"

"What about the treasure?"

"I've been cheated! There's no treasure at all, it's just a urinal used by our ancestors!"

Thinking of this, Yu Qiu became very angry!

Who is so wicked as to make a treasure map for a urinal? !

If he really knew who it was, he would have to skin it alive!

He was so angry!

God knows how tired he was after digging for ten days and ten nights!

All in one breath!

The key is to be careful when digging this thing, and you cannot use spiritual power, because this thing not only repels the earth's force, but also repels spiritual power!

What if the chain reaction collapses accidentally?

"Uh...this..."

Ye Shang looked at him pitifully.

But it is much easier with the floating stone.

"That really helped a lot, fishing in troubled waters!"

He patted Yu Qiu's shoulder earnestly and was full of gratitude!

"I told you, I have a name, Yu Qiu! Yu Qiu!"

"Ahem, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yu. I didn't expect you to be of such great help."

Keqing thanked her.

As soon as he heard the fairy speak, Yu Qiu's roar immediately became smaller, and he said excitedly.

"No, nothing. It's my blessing to be able to help the fairy!"

Ye Shang on the side watched this scene thoughtfully.

Oh?

Who would have thought that this guy who was trying to take advantage of the situation actually had ideas about their city lord?

Does that adult know?

With Yu Qiu's help, the issue of the floating palace was resolved.

Yu Qiu also did good deeds without leaving his name, leaving behind the floating stone and hurried away.

I didn't want to disturb the two of them discussing business.

Keqing originally wanted to buy the floating stone, but the other party repeatedly said that there was no rush and it was not worth the money.

"Forget it, I'll give it to him later!"

It can be seen that this guy has an extraordinary background and is indeed not short of money.

Otherwise, with so many floating stones, one could sell them for a lot of spirit stones, which would be a considerable profit. But in the eyes of the other party, it was not worth mentioning.

Some people are born standing on the top of the mountain and look down on the scenery on the top, while some people are born in the valley and carry heavy burdens all their lives just to see the scenery on the mountain, and even die of exhaustion.

Keqing looked at the floating stone in the storage bag and didn't say much.

Instead of some lofty exclamations and some seemingly profound but actually useless whining, it is better to put them into practice.

At least, aren't I currently taking actions for the development of Licheng and to make people's lives more stable?

The mountains may have their own problems, but the valleys are helpless when faced with floods.

And she was just borrowing the mountain to return the good to the people below. Some things have to be done slowly. She didn't build Licheng to make money.

"Let's go into the mansion first. Since she doesn't care about the floating stone, we can talk about it later."

Keqing nodded slightly and walked into the mansion.

Ye Shang hurriedly followed and then mentioned another plan.

"Sir, I have already written down the recruitment plan for alchemists. There are no other problems. The production of spiritual fluid can also keep up with the efficiency. However..."

"Just what?"

Seeing Ye Shang hesitate, Keqing asked softly.

She picked up the plan, tapped the pages, and began to read it carefully.

"The plan is good, and the process is gradual and not abrupt. But why is there a line drawn here for the spiritual liquid? Is there a problem?"

"There are some."

Ye Shang looked at Keqing and expressed his doubts.

"Sir, didn't you say before that you wanted to leave the Desolate State? The spiritual liquid production is sufficient now, but the method of refining it..."

"Are you worried about it getting leaked?"

"Yes, that's right. Alchemy skills depend on one's talent and cannot be mastered overnight. But spiritual liquid is different. As long as you get the formula, then..."

He frowned and expressed his concerns, and Keqing understood his worries.

However, there is no need to worry about this.

Before, Man Ruo was asked to refine spiritual plants in the space. The main reason was that the production of spiritual liquid required the help of divine power, and it had to be specific pure divine power.

In order to avoid unnecessary explanations and trouble, Keqing did not move outside.

Now that I'm leaving, it's impossible for me to leave Manruo here, so the recipe will naturally have to be handed over to the person who stays behind.

"So, you don't need to worry about this. Even if someone gets the formula, they may not be able to make spiritual liquid. The same goes for essence."

"Besides, the person I delivered it to is very trustworthy. Even after I leave, the production can be maintained normally. You don't need to worry about this."

She was going to leave the matter to the mountain god, as no one was more suitable than him.

As a mountain god, can't you be on guard against others coveting your territory?

Moreover, in terms of the purity of divine power, the mountain god of Tianxuan Mountain is also one of the best, and he does not need to supply it himself.

"That's great. Since your recipe is unique, Lord City Lord, the problems are self-explanatory."

Although Keqing didn't specify what the special material was, I think only the city lord has it. In that case, there is really nothing to worry about.

He nodded, so there was no need to worry about the spiritual liquid.

"In that case, I have no problem with that, but I have a suggestion regarding recruitment."

"What advice?"

"Although I said before that you could record some alchemy knowledge to attract those alchemists, I forgot the most important issue. That is, although everyone in Licheng knows your ability to make alchemy, for those alchemy masters, your reputation in this area is not outstanding, and you may even be underestimated."

"You also know that immortal cultivators cannot escape fame and fortune, and they look at people with their own fixed perspectives. Regardless of their status or strength, there will always be people who think they have rich qualifications and experience, while young people have little experience, and their so-called abilities are nothing more than exaggerations."

"So, you think those senior alchemists will look down on me? Or even disagree with me."
