The news of Ding Niu's selection of Dao soldiers has spread throughout Hanlao County. With his current reputation, the potential shown at a young age, and the fact that he is a local immortal, many factors have been combined, and responders have gathered.

, the first Taoist soldier selection must be a grand event.

Yuhou Mansion started preparations early.

Regarding Ding Niu's selection of Taoist soldiers, the people stationed here at Xieyue Mountain were not surprised when they first heard the news. However, when they learned the number of Taoist soldiers he had recruited, everyone was dumbfounded.

Ding Niu actually wants to recruit 10,000 people!

Ten thousand people, what is the concept?

There are over ten thousand people, and there are no borders or shores.

What is he going to do?

Besides, how much wealth does this person have?

Not to mention the equipment, training, and daily maintenance of the Taoist soldiers, the promised monthly subsidy alone is 10 taels of silver per person per month, 100,000 taels of silver per month, and more than 1 million a year... This is not just for anyone practicing Qi.

Scholars can afford it.

This kid comes from a humble background. Only a few days have passed since he came up the mountain. Even if he moves quickly, he still hasn't had time to accumulate assets. How can he get so much money...

The eighth prince and his grandson came first to visit Ding Niu and asked about the Taoist soldiers.

Before the two of them exchanged a few words, people from Xieyue Mountain came to pay their respects one after another. Within an hour, even Xin Zhenzi, Xing Zhenzi and a group of elders came to visit.

Everyone put aside other matters and were very curious about Ding Niu's recruitment of Taoist soldiers.

In their words, they were extremely concerned about his assets:

"When it comes to cultivation, wealth is the most important thing. Wealth comes first, so it's obviously important. Niu Zhenzi, you are so generous, where did you get your wealth?"

"Yes, we left the sect not only to respond to the sect's call, but also because we had no resources, so we came to do some chores for the sect to earn some salary.

It’s very distressing to have mundane things interfere with your cultivation.”

Faced with the ardent sentiments of the crowd, Ding Niu did not show off:

"Everyone, although I, Ding Niu, was born low and my family didn't have much money before, I was lucky enough to have pure yang, so I had some luck with women. Have you forgotten? I have a Taoist companion in the Overlord Realm who was originally a senior elder of the Nanhai Sect.

A very wealthy waterman."

"..."

"My Madam Shui not only has a lot of savings, but also has several properties in the Nanhai Sect. She specializes in the sea pearl business. She makes a lot of money every day. She can still afford to use it to support some Taoist soldiers."

…

Many people were stunned when they heard it.

So soft rice is so hard to eat!

Ding Niu added: "Actually, not only have I not spent any money on raising these Taoist soldiers, but now I have gained some money first."

"……how do I say this?"

"Recently, many wealthy gentry and businessmen have come to my house to pay a visit. Everyone heard that I was recruiting Taoist soldiers, and they were very enthusiastic. They said they would come to help." Ding Niu said: "This one donated a thousand taels, and that one donated a thousand taels.

He also said that he would always be filial in the future, and he just wanted to send his nephew to my Yuhou Mansion to receive some training and let me be beaten or scolded, which made me feel embarrassed."

"..."

"I can't say no to people from the countryside." Ding Niu sighed: "No, there is a charity meeting in the backyard. As soon as I needed money for the food and clothing of the Taoist soldiers, the villagers came to donate enthusiastically."

"..." Everyone quickly used their minds to look towards the backyard, and saw the boy from the Snow Mountain standing on the stage, his face glowing red.

Under the stage, there were blinged-out gentry and fat-bellied businessmen, red-faced and eager to bid for a spot in the auction.

Everyone looked at it and saw, "Hey guys, everyone is raising signs!"

Is this some kind of charity event? It's clearly an auction!

What is being auctioned is not something else. What is being auctioned right now is actually the quota for a mountain patrol boy in the Yuhou Mansion. The bid has now reached one hundred thousand taels!

"...Isn't this selling an official position to get a title?"

"Hey? This senior brother made a mistake. This is not an official, but an errand boy. His work is hard on weekdays, and he wouldn't be able to recruit him with a low salary. How can he sell his official position?"

"...Then why do we have to spend money to campaign?"

"Senior brother, what do you think?" Ding Niu smiled half-heartedly: "Isn't it because of the support of everyone? If you are also the heroes of Hanlao County and save the people from fire and water, these fellow villagers will also support you in the same way."

"..."

"If you want to do good deeds, don't ask about the future. You will be rewarded later." Ding Niu announced to everyone: "I know you are concerned about why I recruit so many Taoist soldiers. Some people think that I, Ding Niu, have a big plan and some conspiracy.

Argument."

"I don't want to explain more, because these people don't know the suffering of the people!"

"Can't you see it yet? Why are the people so enthusiastic? Just because I am a Taoist soldier, not my own wish, but the wish of the people! I am a Taoist soldier who is a son of the people, not my personal Taoist soldier, Ding Niu! Why?

Keep Old Han County safe and nip troubles in the bud, otherwise, if there is another disaster like this in recent days, will we just suffer it?"

"..."

"Everyone, look at it. Ten thousand Dao soldiers are still short. According to the wishes of the people, there must be one hundred thousand Dao soldiers. After a few days, I will expand the number."

"..."

"Everyone who cares so much about my Tao soldiers, I have recorded your kindness. I know everyone who came to my house today. In the next few days, they will come to my Yuhou Mansion to help. I will train Tao soldiers in this period.

We happen to be short of people, so come here and teach these Tao soldiers like me, astronomy, geography, Qi, martial arts, and alchemy... No one can escape!"

"..."

The people sitting in the hall were all speechless.

At this time, Xin Zhenzi was the first to speak, and said seriously: "That's not bad, I can teach some alchemy."

"..." Xing Zhenzi had a look of constipation on his face. Seeing Xin Zhenzi speak, he could only say: "Then I will come with Junior Sister Xin, and I will teach you how to refine weapons."

Ding Niu then looked at the others, first looking at Tie Zhenzi: "Senior Brother Tie is good at horizontal training."

Tie Zhenzi's face was gloomy, but looking at Hoshizhenko and Xinzhenzi taking the lead, he would be following these two in the future, so he could only say: "Okay."

"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Brother Tong?"

Tong Zhenzi smiled bitterly: "I'm willing to help."

Gao Zhenzi snorted and agreed.

Ding Niu looked at the others again, and the person named by the person he saw secretly thought it was bad luck.

Seeing that Ding Niu was making further progress and looking at them, several elders quickly said goodbye: "We are stationed here and are busy with official duties. Since the arrangements for our nephew's Taoist soldiers have been properly arranged, we can feel relieved. Let's go first."

"..."

Several elders left in a hurry, and the others quickly made excuses to leave. Everyone was disgraced.

Today I came to the house for questioning. Not only was I jealous, but I was also taught a lesson. In the end, I was made a man again. It was really not worth the gain!

Loss, loss!

Some people thought: Oh, this Niu Zhenzi is really getting more and more powerful. The two true disciples give him so much face that even his masters and uncles have to face him, and he has no temper at all... This person,

He will also be a big supporter in the future.

Some people started to think that if they made friends with him now, they would finally pave a way for the future. If they didn’t make friends with him, don’t offend him!

At this time, the only people left in the Yuhou Mansion were the Eight Princes, Xin Zhenzi, Xing Zhenzi and a few others.

Xin Zhenzi talked about another thing, which was related to the Jinsha Earth Line in the ancient battlefield.

"A few days ago, I asked Yi Tianxing, Huang Xuan and other senior brothers if they knew a human immortal who was good at using Huang Yun, and I got some other information... Not only in our Zhao country, but also in other places, two incidents happened recently.

The mysterious Qi practitioner captured the earth's veins and escaped. What happened on the ancient battlefield is not a special case."

"Is someone targeting Leyline?"

"Yes, there are people who are keeping an eye on the veins of the land where the dragon will turn into a dragon. They capture it and run away. I don't know what they want."

"The earth's veins are the essence of the earth and the essence of the mines. Once the earth's veins are gone, the land will lose its spirituality and it will take a long time to recover. However, if it transforms into a dragon, it has to be nurtured for hundreds or thousands of years. This is an extremely rare opportunity. It is a virtue of God. All things have it.

Spirits usually don't stop it...but staring at Hualong's earth veins to capture it, this move is the wrath of heaven and the resentment of people!"

Ding Niu asked: "What's so magical about the earth's veins becoming a dragon?"

Xing Zhenzi chuckled: "Among the true disciples of our generation, there is a senior brother Long Zhenzi who is Earthline Chenglong. He is low-key and not as ostentatious as some junior brothers who turn into dragons."

"..."

"Senior Brother Long Zhenzi has a high level of cultivation and has countless abilities. One of them is to build a mountain on the ground and be able to use the power of mountains and rivers. Compared with your mountain and river geography pill, it is no less powerful."

Ding Niudan said calmly: "...If I have a chance, I would like to meet this Senior Brother Long."

Xin Zhenzi brought the topic back: "The evil plague ghost king disrupted Hanlao County and harmed countless people. He used our power to eradicate the kings of the Five Dynasties. The ultimate goal was to seize the land. However, his junior brother saw through the conspiracy and broke the plan. Therefore, Huang Yunren

The immortals took action, so it can be seen that their goal is the earth line... Yue Xin believes that Yamatai is highly suspicious of this matter, and they took away the earth line to reclaim the sea."

"...reclamation?"

"Yes, Yamatai is located in the East China Sea, thousands of miles away from the mainland of China. It is an island country in the sea. It dominates one area, but it has less land and more people. Therefore, it has to borrow land from the sea and has a strong ambition to expand westward."
