Pingnanwei.

From Wolong Town to the Lin clan land, the Chuan land suitable for reclamation into fields has been developed.

The hills surrounding Kawachi have been developed into tea gardens or orchards.

Everywhere in the Sichuan area has formed a settlement. There is traffic everywhere, and chickens and dogs hear each other. It is like a paradise in the world.

In this hundred-mile area, there are dozens of small villages and settlements like this.

These villages are scattered among them, and each adjacent village is connected by a road for two or three carriages to travel in parallel.

These roads are not very well built, but they are wide and strong enough.

On the road, there are horse-drawn carriages coming and going from time to time. These are the people of the Lin clan or the people under the rule who go to the town to go to the market.

What is carried in the carriage is usually agricultural products such as tea, rice grains, fruits and vegetables, or mountain products such as old medicines and animal skins.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first. Lin Qingshan understands this principle well.

Although he is not very rich, at least he is living a good life.

Compared with ordinary civilians, the people of the Lin family, or the people they govern, are much happier.

Lin's taxes are extremely low and are just symbolic.

On the one hand, this is to encourage fertility, but more importantly, Lin no longer values ​​the money.

In fact, Lin spent a lot of effort building these roads for a purpose other than the needs of herders.

These roads form a huge network, cutting this hundred-mile area into pieces.

Doing so greatly suppresses the ecological vitality in this vast wilderness and reduces the probability of ordinary beasts evolving into monsters.

This is the strategy proposed by Lin Qingshan.

The Lin clan members didn't know why the clan leader proposed such a strategy.

But they will resolutely carry out the tasks assigned by the clan leader and do exactly what the clan leader says.

Facts have proved that this strategy is very effective. Over the years, the beasts in this area have become more and more silent, and few monsters appear.

Only a few members of the Spirit Warrior clan can maintain the stability of this hundred-mile area.

You know, even within human territory, wild beasts mutate and evolve and attack villages and fortresses, which is still a headache.

The garrison often needs to organize manpower, or issue demon-slaying orders, allowing spiritual warriors to go into the deep mountains and forests to kill demonic beasts.

The Lin clan didn't understand why, but building roads solved this problem that troubled the human race.

Lin Qingshan didn't explain this either. The tribesmen naturally didn't understand the principles of ecology.

The vitality of a population can easily be suppressed by isolation.

Lin originally planned to clear out all the ferocious beasts in the forest and destroy the forest at the same time.

But you don't have to do that now.

All you need to do is cut down some of the forest on both sides of these roads and leave a few meters of open space.

This is an extremely successful experience.

Following this pioneering model, the Lin family gradually opened up the clan's land to the wilderness.

The Lin family, who started in Bianhuang, quickly rose to prominence.

…

At night, in the city of Anning County.

Unlike Lin Qingshan's previous life, there is no developed lighting technology here.

Night enveloped the earth, and the scattered lights in the city gradually went out. The noisy county town during the day soon entered a state of calm.

In an ordinary small inn in the south of the city.

Lin Qinglong held a bone-hardening pill, looked at it for a long time, and then smelled it.

The intoxicating fragrance of the elixir was refreshing. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the elixir, he put the elixir back into the jade bottle, sealed it and put it in the storage bag.

He stretched out comfortably and felt a little relaxed.

Not long ago, Lin found out that there was a bone-hardening pill in the county that was going to be auctioned.

Of course, the family will not miss such a good thing. This is something that must be obtained at any cost.

It was too dangerous to come to the county from Kaiyuan Realm, so the family arranged for Lin Qinglong to obtain the Bone Tempering Pill.

These days, he had a huge sum of money and was cautious, and finally got this bone-tempering pill.

"This mission was successfully completed!"

In a good mood, Lin Qinglong raised a smile on his lips, turned around and blew out the candle, and prepared to lie down and sleep.

The room fell into darkness.

For a moment, Lin Qinglong felt that the surroundings seemed a little too quiet, terrifyingly quiet.

Suddenly!

There seemed to be a ripple in the dark space.

"Hi..." A soft sound came from somewhere in the room.

A sharp blade, as if coming out of the underworld, stabbed Lin Qinglong's neck silently.

There was a sharp strange feeling in his throat, and Lin Qinglong shuddered all over.

"Danger!"

Lin Qinglong's face was startled, but his reaction speed was extremely fast. His true energy exploded and his body shook slightly.

The sharp blade grazed his throat and pierced Lin Qinglong's flesh.

A trace of blood flowed from his neck, but it was not fatal.

At the critical moment, Lin Qinglong avoided the vital points and only sustained some flesh wounds.

"Who are you!" Lin Qinglong shouted.

All his true energy was circulating, covering his whole body. In front of him was a masked man wearing black clothing.

"Robber or assassin?" Lin Qinglong stared at the other party solemnly.

His cultivation level is at the second level of the Concentration Realm, and the opponent's cultivation level is not lower than his, and most likely even higher than his.

Judging from what he did just now, this masked man in black has secretive and insidious methods, and he must be an assassin!

But Lin Qinglong couldn't figure out why he was targeted by assassins.

If it was a robber, it would be understandable, after all, he had a huge sum of money and a bone-tempering pill.

But no matter what the identity of the other party is, today's situation is dangerous!

Lin Qinglong's face was gloomy, and multiple solutions quickly flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, he moved.

He turned over his hand and took out a long knife.

With a clang, the long sword was unsheathed, and Lin Qinglong took the initiative to attack and kill the man in black.

The purple star iron sword bloomed with a brilliant and deep light. The sword's light was like lightning. Blessed by the tyrannical true energy, it looked very strong.

The man in black frowned slightly, feeling that the other party was a little troublesome, but then he calmed down.

A cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the snow-white blade in the man's hand moved.

As assassins, they have received strict training since childhood. Their martial arts and body skills are very solid, and their combat power is not weaker than that of others at the same level.

What's more, his cultivation level is even higher than Lin Qinglong's.

"clang!"

A heavy clang of gold and iron sounded.

The snow-white sharp blade and the purple long knife collided in the air.

The powerful force caused Lin Qinglong to fall backwards and hit the wall before he stabilized.

Although he looked embarrassed, he was actually not hurt at all.

"So strong! Come again!" Lin Qinglong had a stubborn look on his face.

With a flick of his wrist, the sword flashed away. In this small room, he did not use any complicated sword skills, and only used the simple Thunder Blade technique to fight against the opponent.

The long purple sword is unprecedented, sharp and fierce.

Naturally, the man in black would not refuse to challenge Lin Qinglong head-on. After all, his Yuan Power was stronger, and it was Lin Qinglong who suffered the loss in the head-to-head fight.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a violent collision and a violent sound was made.

If in normal times, a battle in the Concentration Realm occurs in the city, there will definitely be people watching, and the city guards will come to maintain order and severely punish those who take action in the city.
To be continued...
