After receiving this book, Xi Huanyan felt relieved to get what she wanted. After reading it carefully, she saw that it was divided into six chapters: Feng Shui theory, residence method, burial method, woodworking method, construction method, and mechanism method.

At best, she touched the fur of woodworking.

Old Mrs. Foyan was rare to leave without turning around, and pointed to the woodworking article with a stick, and threw down another book. This time it was a picture album, full of various patterns and objects.

She ordered the cup, basin, ancient shelf, beauty couch, boat, and nine-story tower in turn. The processes and techniques required were as complicated as the techniques.

Xi Huanyan felt that the old lady wanted her to make these things, so she dared not refuse and responded solemnly.

The Woodworking Methods details the process and skills needed to be used in the process of making wooden objects. She slowly pondered and started practicing slowly, and worked tirelessly day and night.

One day later, Xi Qiongdong returned to the village, but the news he brought was not very good. He followed Xi and told the waterway in disappointment, "The guys in Zhuo Ri Mansion don't take me seriously at all, and they also said they wanted to invite a source master above three stars to come up with a big price."

"What?" Xi Zhaoshui could not hide his surprise. "Why did Zhuo Ri Mansion still need to raise money? Didn't they use the salary of the empire to deal with such things?"

"I don't know either. I feel that the empire will end sooner or later. I heard that the countries and joint forces in the Western Regions are in great momentum, and the entire Tianhuo Road has fallen."

The administrative regions of the Ronghua Empire are from high to bottom, including roads, prefectures, and counties. There are ten roads in heaven and earth, seventy-two states, and one thousand eight counties. Among them, the road with the five characters "Tian" is the fortress area, especially the Tianhuo Road, which is the gate facing the Western Regions of the entire eastern region. Once it is broken, the glory is in danger.

Upon hearing this news, Xi Gaoshui's thought of moving out of the final mountain range to avoid disaster was extinguished. The environment inside and outside was not safe, so it would be better to stay here. Besides, the alien demon has not come out for many days, and maybe he has already gone to another place.

Thinking of this, he still asked, "How much does Zhuo Ri Mansion want?"

"They didn't say this clearly, but after I asked, I had to send a post to the Master of Zhuo Ri Mansion to see him in private, and then give him a satisfactory reward. There is a rumor in the market. Now I want to ask a three-star master to take action, which will cost at least 10,000 gold coins. The Master of Four-star master will start at least 30,000 yuan."

Xi Zhaoshui was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't afford to ask for it, and the whole village can't get a hundred gold coins."

Xi Qiongdong blurted out, "Master's wife may have it."

After saying that, he looked for a supplement again, "If... if... if the master's wife would definitely not be stingy in order to eliminate the alien demon."

Xi Gaoshui saw his little thoughts and asked seriously, "Tell me the truth, how much family Canggu has."

"The master spends a lot and gives more subsidies to the village. According to his quotation for craftsmanship, he should have no savings left over the years, but he sometimes takes orders to eliminate evil. I don't know how much he charges at a time. If the market conditions outside are based on it, it will definitely be indispensable. It will never be as much left as the master's wife said."

Xi Qiaoshui glanced at the grandson and felt inexplicably happy. He couldn't tell what it felt like, just as if he knew that he had raised a wolf in sheep's clothing, a little proud and a little sad.

"Qiongdong, you are my grandson. Tell me, are you willing to stay in the village to protect everyone?"

......The old man asked such a tricky question.

Xi Qiongdong quivered and quickly slid at him, "I am willing, but I haven't even touched the side of the One Star Source Master now. I always need to learn from the powerful people. Moreover, the village is just so big. It's enough for you and a few martial artists in the village to be there for the time being."

"And..." he thought carefully, "I see warlords outside separatist, and joining the army is a good way out. Maybe one day I can become a powerful man with a land."

Xi Qiongdong bet on Xi Gaoshui's feelings for him, half begging and half tempting, "Grandpa, if I make a bloody road outside, I can completely shelter Xijia Village under my wings, which is always beneficial to the village."

"At a young age, you are quite ambitious. You have no power, no one, no money, and you still want to learn from others to compete for the world!"

"No, grandpa, the troubled times are an opportunity for our Yuanshi to rise. Which superior did not start from the slightest? For example, the Limen warlords in Tianshui Road were a street gangster fifteen years ago. Do you know what warlords are? They are all private armed troops who do not obey the imperial orders. Now the warlords are growing up in groups, which is a sign of the split of the empire. If we can seize this opportunity, we will not become superiors and have the opportunity to earn fame and fortune!"

"I think you are following Xi Canggu outside to run away!" Xi Qiaoshui shook his arm with a humming voice, but there was not much anger on his face.

Seeing that there was a chance, Xi Qiongdong boldly persuaded him again and again, until Xi Zhaoshui said to him, "If you have this skill, go back to the patrol team first and protect the village. You can't even protect the village, and the rest are all thinking too much."

Watching grandson Yan Dada walk out of the door, Xi Gaoshui seemed to have been sucked away from his body, he collapsed on the recliner, took out a pocket watch from his robe and wiped it carefully.

His wife came out of the inner room, threw down the rag, and smiled, "Your grandchildren are the same people."

Xi Gaoshui rolled her eyes at her without any reservation, "The thing I am most unwilling to do in my life is to stay in the village."

Xijia Village’s persistence towards Master Yuan is engraved in its bones and in its rules.

When he had just awakened his soul, he and his tribe members were purchasing daily necessities outside. The special notice from Zhuo Rifu was posted on the bulletin board on the street.

As long as he only has a few more steps, he can step into the gate of Zhuri Mansion.

But he was coaxed back home by his clan members, and was kept by his parents crying and shouting. The clan also used the temptation of interests to the extreme, and used a bunch of benefits to make him dizzy, and he was confused and promised not to leave again.

Later I heard that during that special recruitment, all the Lingjue and Yuanshi who signed up were hired.

Do you regret it? Of course you regret it. Compared with the resources of the empire, the little that the village gave is just a small profit.

His wife scoffed at his unwillingness, "You have taken all the benefits of the village. Why are you talking about resentment? Besides, the clan elders are all staring at it. If you can't leave, Qiongdong can't leave either. If you leave, you will be scolded by the backbone."

The clan leader talks about it, but the clan elder is the clan elder.

There are ten clan elders, all of whom are highly respected in the village, responsible for major matters such as joy, mourning, family tree, family law, school, collective hunting and collection. In addition, those who are competent for clan elders are not Yuan Masters. They have a common responsibility, that is, represent the will of the village, retain Yuan Masters, and improve the chance of survival of the village.
