With a buzzing sound,
The panel vibrated and yellow light surged.
Then lines of text appeared before my eyes:
[1: A cypress fish that accidentally dived into Wangyue Lake is about to lay eggs, and fry will hatch in the fall]
[2: Your third brother successfully developed the formula for a first-grade mid-quality spirit wine the day before yesterday]
[3: Three days later, the Zhang family will move into Niu Shou Mountain. Zhang Tianyao, the daughter of the Zhang family leader, is the Taoist partner of Shangguan Hui, the foundation-building elder of the Shangguan family.]
Lin Jie looked at the information carefully.
It is a pleasant surprise that the mullet is about to spawn.
Wangyue Lake was originally under the jurisdiction of the Li family. Since the Zhang family is about to move in, he has to catch the mullet before then and raise it in the clan. It will become a lucrative business in the future.
As for the newly arrived Zhang family, he had never heard of them before. He had to hurry and find out their family history. After all, the two families would be living next to each other in the future.
Push the door open and walk out.
What comes into view is the ripe orange-yellow red-marrow rice.
The eldest brother Lin Changren saw Lin Jie coming out of retreat in the field and immediately came to greet him. He sensed that Lin Jie's aura was much stronger than before, and hurriedly congratulated him:
"Congratulations to the head of the family for breaking through the fifth level of Qi training."
In less than three years, he broke through three levels in succession. Such a speed of cultivation would be considered a rare young talent even among those high-ranking families.
Lin Jie asked a few questions about whether there were any important events in the clan during his retreat. His eldest brother Lin Changren shook his head and said,
"Master, we followed your instructions. We were all busy with our affairs and did not step out of the mountain gate. However, a few days ago, Aunt Liu from the Liu family came to tell us that the head of the Liu family asked you to go to Anyang County."
Since it was Nanny Liu who delivered the message,
I guess they were discussing his marriage with Meizhen.
This surprised him. Before this, Clan Leader Liu had always wanted Mei Zhen to marry into the Shangguan family.
"In addition, Patriarch, I also found several unfamiliar monks appearing at our mountain gate several times."
Speaking of,
The eldest brother Lin Changren took out a number of scrolls.
One of the scrolls depicted a middle-aged man who looked burly, but he was not a monk from their group.
Lin Jie pointed and said,
"Brother, do you have any impression of this middle-aged cultivator?"
Lin Changren shook his head. Seeing Lin Jie thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said,
"Master, most of these cultivators came here because they heard that the Li family had been defeated and Niu Shou Mountain had become ownerless. After the families sent by the Shangguan family moved in, they should leave. However, if we go in and out of Yunling Mountain, it is always better to be cautious."
This was exactly what Lin Jie meant. After thinking about it, he took the portrait of the middle-aged man and put it into the storage bag. He gave a few instructions, put on the invisibility cloak, and then left the mountain gate.
Wangyue Lake was to the west of Yanyang Wood Forest.
He went to his fourth sister's place and took Xiaoqing away. The little green snake stayed with his fourth sister for several months and became reluctant to leave when it was time to leave.
It is worth mentioning,
Several months,
Fourth sister Lin Changli actually tamed nearly a hundred silver-spotted venomous snakes.
On weekdays, there are thieves who steal wood in Yanyangmulin.
But ever since the fourth sister took over the wood forest, several wood thieves were bitten to death, and no one dared to come to the wood forest easily anymore.
Lin Jie was quite pleased.
At this time, Manager Lin, who was in charge of felling trees at the lumberyard, heard that the master of the house was coming, and hurried over excitedly. After paying his respects, he said as if to take credit:
"Master, there are 700 Yanyang trees in the lumberyard this year that are five years old and can be cut down. I have specially arranged people to work day and night to cut them down and pile them in the southwest corner. Master, would you like to go and take a look?"
Yanyang wood is a first-level spiritual wood.
Although the flame it produces is not as good as the earth fire or the true fire of a foundation-building cultivator, it is enough for low-level alchemists and weapon refiners.
After all,
Not just any family can build the House of Underground Fire.
Yan Yangmu is quite popular in the market.
Lin Jie nodded:
"Okay, you lead the way."
He planned to take away a batch of Hui land for Liu Runzhi to use for refining equipment.
To the southwest corner,
But I saw mountains of timber stacked neatly.
The other side,
Many workers are digging holes to plant new saplings.
Lin Jie took a quick look and saw that a small number of the workers were not wearing Lin family uniforms. He frowned and said,
"Manager Lin, I remember clearly instructing that the people working in Yanyang Mulin must be from our Lin family. What happened to those dozens of people?!"
Manager Lin was stunned for a moment.
The wages that the clan members needed to pay were twice as high, and he did it to save costs, and of course he also wanted to extract a certain amount of intermediary fees. He never thought that the head of the family would even remember this little thing and wanted to explain with a smile.
Lin Jie's face turned serious.
"Go to the punishment hall of the clan to receive your punishment. Also, from today on, you are not allowed to step into the Yanyang Woods again."
Yanyang Wood Forest is most afraid of fire.
Even if it is one of our own people who comes in to do business, we still have to be very careful. Who knows if there are outsiders who might sneak in and want to cause trouble?
He turned around and gave Lin Changli a few words:
"Fourth sister, this Yanyang Wood Forest produces one thousand spirit stones every year. It is a very profitable business. You still have to pay more attention to it on a daily basis. Do you understand?!"
"Yes, Patriarch."
Fourth sister Lin Changli also felt a little guilty.
During this period, she was so obsessed with taming the silver-spotted viper that she didn't even notice the outsiders who had sneaked in.
The workers who were busy replanting were soon cleared out of the mountain gate. The dozens of outsiders said with some regret:
"The Lin family treated us very well and compensated us for two days' work. It's a pity that we can no longer cut wood in the lumberyard."
"That's right. The wages paid by the Lin family on weekdays are double what the Li family paid before."
Everyone chatted along the way.
One of them flashed and disappeared into the grass on the side of the path, his eyes gleaming with excitement:
"Lin Jie, I finally waited for you to come out!"
On the mountain,
Lin Jie looked at the lumberjacks walking away. There was a figure that gave him a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where it was.
Suddenly,
He remembered something.
Slap the storage bag.
Suddenly a scroll unfolded, and on it was a middle-aged man.
But there was no such person among the group of people who just passed by, and these woodcutters were all mortals, and Lin Jie did not sense any fluctuations of mana from them:
"Am I overthinking it?"
It is said that the Li family had been destroyed.
The Lin family shouldn't have any enemies:
"Could it be..."
Lin Jie's pupils shrank and he turned to look towards Donghuang.
The people from the Tianlong tribe took action!!
Lin Jie's thoughts raced.
There are only two reasons why the people of the Tianlong tribe took action. One is to avenge the death of the third elder. They do not have the ability to deal with Shangguan Feng, so naturally they can only target him.
Also,
Two and a half years ago,
The Tianlong tribe almost caused the extermination of their Lin family. They were obviously worried that after their Lin family grew up, they would follow in the footsteps of the Li family one day:
"Well done!"
Lin Jie narrowed his eyes slightly.
It is undoubtedly a pipe dream for the Lin family to defeat the Tianlong tribe with their current strength, but the people of the Tianlong tribe actually dared to come to Baihe County, so there is no possibility for them to leave alive.
