Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

Everyone knew how powerful it was, and they all confessed their loyalty to Rao.

"Okay, show me all the money, accounts, gold and jewelry in the entire Nanming Villa. I want to check it carefully, and then see how to manage the villa."

Ni Qi's demeanor suddenly changed, uncharacteristically, when it comes to the current business, he exudes an aggressive aura: "Everyone is still in your place every day, I'm just a master behind the scenes, understand?"

"Yes, yes, my lord, please wait a moment." The manager Zhuang Nanming hurriedly got up, and then ordered, "You come to some housekeepers and accountants, and come with me to get the account books and the treasures of the town."

Several old and prudent housekeepers standing in front of the hall immediately followed the chief manager Zhuang Nanming out of the hall.

Not long after, I saw them turn around, each with a booklet in their hands.

Behind him, a group of strong servants carried a few large boxes and stepped into the hall neatly.

The manager Zhuang Nanming strode up to Ni Qi, bowed respectfully, and handed over the booklet in his hand with both hands.

Ni Qi still reached out to take the booklet with a blank expression, and opened it.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that there were many property lists written on it: three purple-gold pumpkins, each weighing 880 pounds; eight golden pumpkins, each weighing 880 pounds; fifty silver pumpkins, each weighing 880 pounds.

One hundred and eight rods inlaid with gold and jade, 110 and eight emerald green cat's eyes, 130 and eight diamonds, and 38 buckets of pearls...

It is densely packed, all of which are gold, silver, and jewelry counted.

Then turn to the second page, but it is all kinds of grain, cattle and horses, and field products.

Turning to the third page, there are swords, guns, armor, and weapons again.

……

"This is the total assets of Nanming Villa? It's incomparably rich!" Ni Qi closed the booklet after reading it.

"That's right, a mere Nanming Villa, after the savings of the Eight Wise Kings, is so ruthless in amassing wealth! It's almost comparable to the treasury of my Persian Empire."

Roxana, the Persian princess who followed Ni Qi, glanced at the detailed accounts and couldn't help sighing.

Ni Qi then ordered several boxes to be opened, and found that the first few boxes were full of rare jewels, but the last few boxes contained several sets of blue-gray soft armor and light armor.

It looks soft and thin, like silk brocade, armor but not armor, clothes but not clothes.

"Master Mingjian, this is the top-quality whale skin light armor tanned by Dongying Kingdom in the East China Sea. There are five sets in total."

"Although the warrior's cowhide armor is extremely protective armor, even light bows and light crossbows are difficult to penetrate, but compared with this light whaleskin armor, it is far behind. It's extremely inappropriate."

"So if Master Ni wants to become an official in the army, this is the best protective equipment for attacking cities and conquering territory, and many generals in the army do not have it."

"If you buy the people's hearts, the cowhide armor should be used as a reward for the soldiers." Zhuang Nanming, the manager, saw that Ni Qi's face was cloudy, so he quickly explained clearly.

"Whale skin light armor?" Whale skin is extremely tough, and the best swords are made of whale skin or shark skin as scabbards.

In the far sea, there is an extremely ferocious killer whale or tiger shark. Its body is blue-gray, and its skin is tougher. It is hard to hurt with swords. After tanning, it is a rare divine armor in the world.

It is rumored that there is a set of "divine whale armor", which is made from the skin of a thousand-year-old giant whale.

Only the most powerful fighters of dozens of overseas island countries are eligible to wear whale skin light armor.

Nothing else, because killer whales and tiger sharks are fierce and they are in the deep sea, so they are difficult to catch.

The southeast of Nanqing Kingdom and Dongwu Prefecture and the two Cantons bordering the sea in the south were invaded and forcibly occupied by Dongyingwo Kingdom and Xingluo Kingdom. In fact, Nanqing Kingdom is not currently facing the sea.

It is even more difficult for a landlocked country to produce seafood, especially rare seafood such as killer whales and tiger sharks, which is especially rare.

And even those island nations in the deep sea mostly depend on fishing in the ocean for their livelihood, but ordinary fishing boats, killer whales or tiger sharks can bite through them in one bite.

The ferocious killer whales and tiger sharks can even leap several meters out of the water, biting the people on the big ships into the water in an instant.

To catch a killer whale or even a tiger shark often requires the sacrifice of dozens or even hundreds of lives.

A warrior carrying a box nodded, and quickly put on this set of whale skin light armor.

This whaleskin light armor is not so much armor as it is a set of clothes, tights, trousers, shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, leggings, and even gloves.

After wearing a set, the whole body is gray-blue, majestic, with a murderous aura, and invulnerable.

The warrior in the whaleskin light armor went outside the courtyard, another warrior immediately took off the strong bow carried on the back of his shoulder, pulled it away viciously, and shot an arrow without hesitation at about fifty paces.

Puchi!

When the arrow hit the whaleskin armor and pierced it hard, it unexpectedly skewed, as if it had hit the oilstone and slid away, and did not penetrate.

It's just that the huge impact force of the arrow made the warrior who was hit by the arrow retreat a few steps, his face was a little pale, and he couldn't turn around in one breath.

At the same time, another samurai picked up a sharp and shiny stainless steel long knife and slashed a few times on this samurai's body, leaving only a few scratches on his clothes.

Then, with a touch of hand, the traces were erased again, and it was as clean as new.

This armor is indeed an extremely powerful protection for ordinary people with physical bodies, and it is even more useful when used on military generals.

In the secular world, it is a priceless treasure, and it is rare for a general to lead an army. But for a person who cultivates immortals, it is a bit insignificant, because it is not even the lowest-grade fake Taoist (false) magic weapon.

"That's true, it's always been like this in all dynasties, floods and famines, and chaos in the world." Ni Qi nodded, a little disapprovingly, "Secretary possession of knives, guns, and armor is a serious crime of treason!"

"Master Ni is joking, in today's troubled times, everyone is in danger, and force and strength are the fundamental guarantee for everything," Zhuang Nanming, the manager, replied immediately.

"The Nanqing Dynasty did not prohibit the people of the country from arming and recruiting troops to build their own power and strength."

"Besides, our weapons and armor have not been transported into the capital, but are they only in the villas in the suburbs?"

"If you don't smuggle weapons and armor into the city, just buy some equipment outside the city, it's not a rebellion, and there are not so many people in his imperial city who come out of the city to search around."

"Okay, now that you all know that I also serve for the Eight Sage Kings, I am your boss now, and everyone is bound together on the chariot of the Eight Sage Kings, and I will not treat you badly."

"We can't take any of these money and treasures. They are all used to develop the entire villa, recruit troops, and expand our strength. We will go all out to prepare for the expansion of the eight sage kings for the throne."

"I have plenty of money, but I may not be able to see it. I will give you another one million taels of silver, and you all use it to develop Nanming Villa. The more Nanming Villa develops, the more powerful it is, the better."

"Then, I will rest here for a few days, and at the same time teach you all the people in the village some cultivation spells, so that you can use them forever. Let you believe that there is nothing wrong with following my boss."

With a wave of his hand, Ni Qi took out 100 million taels of silver from the treasure bag and stacked it in front of everyone in the hall.

Seeing the surprised and puzzled looks on the faces of everyone in front of him, he nodded in satisfaction.

Turning her head, she said to Shuiyue, who was wearing a veil and unwilling to show her true face, "Sister, come up here, in front of everyone in Nanming Villa, I have something to tell you."

After receiving the order, Shuiyue didn't hesitate, and immediately stepped out, walked in front of Ni Qi, bowed and asked, "My dear brother, did you call me? Please order me if you have anything to do."

"Yeah!" Ni Qi nodded slightly, and announced in public, "Today, taking the opportunity of everyone present, I will directly explain everything."

"From now on, I don't have the time and energy to stay in Nanming Villa, directly manage and restrain you, and I don't have the skills to develop the entire Dashanzhuang."

"Therefore, Director Zhuang Nanming, Captain Liu, the five heroes, the ten guards of Nanming, and everyone, listen carefully. From now on, my sister will directly exercise the power of supervision and management of the entire Nanming Villa on my behalf. Of course Nature is surreptitiously presided over behind the scenes."

"You go all out to develop and expand, and your armed forces are on a large scale. You don't have to have any scruples. Your original team is still in place and performing its duties."

"Lieutenant Liu Du and Zhuang Nanming are equal in status, and the status is generally the same. They both take the strength of the entire villa as their own responsibility, understand?"

"Yes, we all understand that everything is under the orders of Master Ni, and we all obey the orders of Master Ni."

Everyone shouted their own slogans in unison, swearing allegiance to Ni Qi's command.

Seeing this situation, Ni Qi felt relieved a lot, and let go of the heavy burden on this matter.

He nodded slightly again: "Okay, that's good, then I can rest assured."

He looked at the five heroes of Nanyang and said: "There is one more thing that needs to be clarified, the five heroes of Nanming, you are not the original owner of Nanming Villa, right?"

"You were privately recruited by Zhuang Nanming afterwards, what's the history?"

"Reporting to Master, the five heroes of the Southern Ming Dynasty are all casual cultivators from all over the world, with low magic power, so they were hired as thugs in this Zhuangzi."

"The five of us have almost no records to test, and I ask the master to investigate clearly and forgive me. We are absolutely not false." The five heroes of Nanming were named by Ni Qi, and they did not dare to violate the truth, one by one.

"Well, it's just a casual cultivator, no wonder it's reduced to this." Ni Qi nodded slightly.

"Okay, let me pass on the cultivation techniques to all of you together. I have a set of authentic cultivation methods of "Various Miracles". If I pass it on to you, it will benefit you forever."

"You must firmly remember that you must practice hard every day, and you must not use magic to do evil, otherwise, you will suffer from the backlash of mana at that time, and you will bear all the consequences."

"You also know that the exercises of the major cultivating sects in the world are more precious than their own lives, and they are absolutely not allowed to be leaked or spread outside without reason."
