Longlong's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

“Master, you are now a Spirit Emperor or Martial Emperor. The next step is to become an Emperor.”

"And after the Emperor?"

"Immortals come after gods, and gods are ranked above immortals."

"My God, when will I ever finish this cultivation?"

Longlong pouted: "Your cultivation is like having a cheat code, and you're still not satisfied. Do you know that the further you cultivate, the harder it gets? Some people get stuck at a certain level and may not be able to move for hundreds of years."

"I feel like I'd have to make contracts with the entire starry sky before I could reach the top, right?"

"Perhaps, maybe so. That road is too far, I can't see through it. You can only take it one step at a time."

Xiao Nan rolled his eyes: "I couldn't travel to space in my past life, but in this life I'm going to travel the entire universe."

"Haha, it's good to see more of the world, much better than staying in one place."

"I like to lie flat."

"No way, you're not that kind of person."

"Alas, no wonder the Weaver Girl had to descend to the mortal realm. Life in heaven is too hard to pass. Love and romance consume time. Raising children is more fulfilling than cultivating immortality."

"You're so ungrateful."

"Oh, I'm not perfect either, haha."

The next day, Xiao Nan loaded the goods and waited in the desert. She was alone in the yard, setting up a charcoal stove, cooking porridge in a clay pot, and making herself a Chinese-style hamburger.

She had barely opened her mouth when she heard the buzzing of a helicopter.

With a wave of his hand, he removed the barrier, then ignored it and went back to eating.

The plane was to stop far away from the residence. When Official Xu got off the plane and saw the house, he rubbed his eyes.

In the heart of the desert, there was nothing but yellow sand, yet they built this house in just five days—that's quite an achievement!

He swallowed hard and led ten men toward the house.

The gate was open, and Official Xu walked in. Upon seeing the scenery inside, he swallowed hard.

He wouldn't believe it if you said Ms. Xiao wasn't a god.

Xiao Nan turned to look at them and waved: "Come here."

Eleven people stood in front of Xiao Nan. After swallowing what was in her mouth, she looked up and glanced at the ten people.

"There are ten of you. The men will stay across the hall, and the women will stay over here. Find your own rooms."

"Yes!"

The ten men had already received orders to follow Xiao Nan's command in everything, treat her as their leader, and obey her every word.

Of course, being told to die means you can't die.

After the ten people left, Official Xu spoke up: "Ms. Xiao, what do you think of those ten people?"

"It'll do. What skills do you want your people to learn?"

What can you teach here?

"Peerless martial arts skills, of course, superpowers are impossible, but I can grant them clairvoyance, super hearing, X-ray vision, medical skills, formations, and mechanisms."

"clairvoyance?"

"The so-called 'thousand-mile eye' means that you can see things within a hundred miles. The 'wind-hearing ear' also covers a hundred miles. The 'X-ray eye' can see through everything, but it is limited to a range of ten meters."

Official Xu swallowed hard: "You can trust them. These ten people were handpicked by us. They are absolutely reliable. You can arrange what they need to be taught and what they are capable of teaching."

"Okay, fine, you're a busy person, you can go now if there's nothing else."

"Alright, just let me know if you need anything."

Xiao Nan stood with her hands behind her back, watching as Official Xu boarded the helicopter and left, and then she coughed lightly and said something.

"Come out once you've made your choice."

Ten people stood in the courtyard within five seconds: "Greetings, Commander!"

"Tired?"

"I'm not tired, please give me your order."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Ate."

"Yes, that's the water room and that's the kitchen. There are ingredients inside. If you're thirsty or hungry, help yourself."

"Yes!"

“There is a pile of long planks outside the gate. We will build around this house according to these blueprints.”

"Yes!"

Xiao Nan stood at the door with his hands behind his back, watching them deftly carry planks in pairs and build something on the sand.

These planks are to prevent quicksand; she has enclosed the entire desert in a barrier, preventing strong winds, and has also leveled all the undulating sand dunes.

Now they are asked to plant trees in the long, rectangular grid, but it will take a whole day to build a circle of wooden planks around it.

After planting one section, the planks can be expanded outwards.

At noon, the ten people worked together seamlessly, preparing simple yet nutritious meals, clearly demonstrating their training.

Xiao Nan didn't treat them badly either; he prepared a very complete set of food, including milk, bread, green vegetables, fruit, rice, flour, and oil.

And so, Xiao Nan watched them all day.

The next day, she handed over the cultivated saplings to them, and at the same time, she asked them to fetch water. She added medicine to the water buckets and gave each of them a pill. She also asked them to take off their outer clothes and go to plant the saplings wearing only shorts and t-shirts.

Under the scorching sun, ten people planted trees. As they poured water from their watering cans, they could see the saplings growing steadily, and they all swallowed hard.

It's amazing, it's really amazing.

Just then, their skin began to burn, but they endured it, using work to relieve the pain.

Xiao Nan nodded. These flower buds had never suffered much hardship since childhood, growing up in a greenhouse. Even though they had received strict training, that training was nothing in her eyes.

Only if that pill can withstand the test will they be able to get past Xiao Nan.

Fortunately, these ten people did not disappoint her. They gritted their teeth and persevered until dusk. After a day in the sun, they not only did not suffer from heatstroke, but also felt their bodies were full of energy.

Xiao Nan smiled and thought, "As expected of a Chinese, they can endure such pain. Not bad."

At night, with the moon high in the sky, Xiao Nan called on these people to practice boxing with her. This boxing style resembled Tai Chi but was not quite Tai Chi. As they followed Xiao Nan's movements, it felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing, and their bodies felt a sense of comfort.

After they finished a set of punches, Xiao Nan took their pulses and found that many of their small meridians were slowly opening up.

If it's effective, that's good; if it's effective, then we can keep throwing punches.

These ten people lay in bed, all they could think about was that the work itself wasn't tiring, it was just that the pain from taking the pills was unbearable.

However, in order to learn real skills and for the sake of China, we must endure the pain.

They were all working hard and gritting their teeth. In just one day, they had tasted the sweetness of success, so naturally they wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

And so, they planted trees and exercised during the day, and practiced boxing at night, leading a very fulfilling life.

The trees planted on the first day grew taller the next day, their roots constantly extending into the sand, trying their best to stabilize the yellow sand.

The wooden planks continued to expand outwards. As the circle grew larger, the planks gradually became unusable. The ten people discussed and began planting in half-circles at a time.

They followed Xiao Nan's instructions strictly, all standing on wooden planks and not going down into the sand, so there was no danger at all.

In fact, Xiao Nan was just exhausting their physical strength. Only when they were completely depleted would the boxing routine he practiced at night be effective and better able to regulate their bodies.

During the day, she would stand behind her back as a supervisor, and at night, she would drink tea while still acting as a supervisor, occasionally offering some pointers.

In just half a month, these ten people had expanded outwards by ten miles, and the entire house was surrounded by large trees, exuding mystery.

Among the trees they planted, there were occasionally fruit trees, but not many; Xiao Nan only allowed them to plant one of each type.

In such a short time, the fruit trees have already blossomed and borne fruit. I believe they will be ready to eat in another half month. These ten people have seen this many times before, so they are not so surprised.

Only then did they realize that this leader was a high-ranking official with SSS-level encryption, and also the person responsible for saving the Dragon Kingdom.

You won't suffer if you follow someone like that.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Beijing has entered spring. The branches are beginning to sprout, creating a thriving scene.

Meanwhile, in Xiao Nan's area, it was the height of summer, and the ground temperature of the yellow sand reached about seventy degrees Celsius under the sun.
