Qingyue Lake, the name of the lake next to Linyuan City.
Overnight, a two-story wooden building suspended on the water appeared in the center of the lake.
Qing Meng ran down from the second floor holding a thumb-sized fish fry in her little hands, then came to the edge of the wooden floor outside the wooden building, and slowly stretched her hands into the water nervously.
Watching the fry swimming actively in the water and then disappearing, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he glanced awkwardly at Zhang Qing, who was fishing next to him.
"Second uncle, why do you have to wear a mask?"
Zhang Qing didn't turn his head, and didn't pay attention to Qing Meng's embarrassment in changing the subject. He said in a calm voice: "Don't kill all these fish. They can still be eaten when they grow bigger."
The latter pursed his lips and said, "I'm just curious about how they can suddenly swallow spiritual energy, even though they couldn't do it yesterday."
"And I didn't want to kill them, I just wanted to see if they were the same as Xiaobai."
"It is not difficult to control alien species, but your requirements for them are too high. Ordinary alien species cannot withstand the oppression of your soul power."
"Not every alien species can reach the advanced stage of Qi training."
Zhang Qing was a little helpless. Qing Meng's interest in alien species was just like Zhang Yunyi's love for alchemy, and his out-of-touch temper would always cause some weird things.
It happened that she was very talented in this area, and Zhang Qing didn't know whether he should stop her.
"But they can swallow spiritual energy overnight, isn't it a talent?" Qing Meng was still a little confused, but she also knew that the changes in these fish were caused by her second uncle.
"That's not their talent. All things have spirits, but sometimes we have to admit that demons and beasts have greater advantages in this regard."
"Among humans, only those with spiritual roots can activate spiritual energy, but other types do not have so many restrictions."
With a little trick, a kind of fry in this lake has the ability to swallow spiritual energy, and this trick certainly does not belong to Zhang Qing himself.
Although it doesn't have a big effect, the ability of enlightenment is not something he can just realize at will.
This is a new method he has obtained from the power of the dragon and carp demon these days.
Obviously, during the period of disappearance, the koi mutant also underwent many changes, and enlightening ordinary fish was one of them.
But this is not surprising. When Zhang Qing discovered it, the latter was an outlier among the koi. Now that it has grown up, it is not surprising that it has some related powers.
Anyway, Zhang Qing is pretty good at using it.
In addition, there are scattered green disc-shaped leaves floating on Qingyue Lake. Zhang Qing can't tell what kind of plant leaves these are, because their appearance itself is due to the changing fry.
The fry feed on all kinds of fine aquatic plants in the lake, and then they spit out blue threads. These threads gather together when they reach the water surface, and finally these green leaves are formed.
Zhang Qing has observed that, strictly speaking, these leaves are more like silk-like existences, and contain spiritual energy, which can be regarded as a kind of spiritual material.
It's just that fragile mortals can tear it into pieces, and Zhang Qing suspects that these things have other uses, so they are still floating in the lake, and it doesn't affect anything anyway.
This also made him understand that through enlightenment, he seemed to have changed the ecology of the lake. He was not sure what changes there would be in the future. Read a book
"It would be nice to have some changes." Zhang Qing pulled the fishing rod in his hand, and the palm-width fish jumped out of the water and flapped wildly, but in the end it was to no avail and Qing Meng caught it in his hand.
"Looks like there's some fish to eat tonight."
Linyuan City.
Zhang Yunyuan looked at the pile of information in front of him with some boredom, "It turns out that having more people is not necessarily a good thing. How are you going to deal with these things?"
On the opposite side, a pretty female cultivator replied: "Linyuan City does not need so many people. With the arrival of the family, many mortals who cannot survive can only choose to leave, or they will become villages outside, so we I don’t intend to interfere too much.”
"Qingyue Lake is occupied by Mr. Qing, so too many people cannot be allowed to fish on it. If these people can't even find another way out, my subordinates don't recommend helping in the name of the Immortal Family."
"After all, the mortal world needs to be separated from the spiritual world, so that they can retain enough awe for easy management."
"And I asked that Su Chenfeng, and he also said that these things are actually nothing. I'm afraid there won't even be complaints."
Zhang Yunyuan said nothing more after hearing this. He found these things just out of curiosity to take a look. After all, he suddenly had millions of mortals under his hands.
Not everyone has the same extraordinary character as Zhang Qing and looks indifferent to all this.
Zhang Yunyuan thinks that he still has a lot of fireworks.
"Forget it, let's just keep an eye on those officials. I've heard that many of these people are dead. What the family needs now are people who can actually do things."
Hearing this, the female cultivator also became serious, "I will let the three casual cultivators find them, and I will also take time to watch them personally, and try to replace them all within a year."
She knew the situation better than Zhang Yunyuan, so she went a step further and planned to directly replace the entire person in charge of Linyuan City.
At this point, the direct descendants of the Zhang family didn't care much.
For Zhang Yunyuan, apart from the novelty of managing a mortal city, there was nothing worth paying attention to. After not seeing the city become chaotic, he started practicing with peace of mind.
It wasn't until two angry figures appeared in the sky above Linyuan City that he opened his eyes from seclusion.
"The Zhao family has finally arrived."
With blazing flames covering his whole body, Zhang Yunyuan appeared in the sky, looking at the Zhao family man and woman in front of him with a calm and cold expression.
Before the two Zhao family foundation builders could say anything, he said, "What are you doing here?"
"Ha! You Zhang family prefers evildoers to complain first. This is my Zhao family's city. When will it be your Zhang family's turn to make the decision?" Zhao Dong looked at Zhang Yunyuan with murderous intent in his eyes.
The four clans were friendly on the surface, but they didn't like each other secretly. What's more, just a few months ago, the two clans had a war because of resource issues, and people on both sides died.
Everyone's anger has not calmed down yet, and now it is making waves again.
"Just for this reason." Zhang Yunyuan smiled nonchalantly, "Then you can go back and tell your family leader that Chihu is still too small. Recently we plan to build a larger yard, so that we can There’s pomp and circumstance.”
"It's just a mortal city. I guess with the Zhao family's wealth, you won't be reluctant to part with it, right? Last time our family master planted golden lotus, you didn't even send a gift."
