His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

January 24th was another day of great harvest for Futian.

As things gradually returned to normal, Xu Bing no longer needed to personally inspect the situation every week.

He had informed Gong Zhonghou in advance by letter that all the progress and achievements of the week should be submitted in written form.

He can simply review it in his study.

In fact, he had also placed many crows around Fukuda's area, keeping a close eye on the situation there.

However, the specific actual situation still needs to be understood through written documents.

It was snowing heavily outside.

Xu Bing was wearing a short shirt, and the study was warm with a fire burning in the stove.

The crow delivered the document from Gong Zhonghou, and after completing this arduous task, it cawed twice in a fawning manner towards Xu Bing.

"You black ten, you're still so greedy."

Xu Bing smiled indulgently, picked up a piece of meat, and infused it with a wisp of primordial essence to feed the crow.

After acquiring the title of "Calamity of the Crows," crow-type spirit pets have an extremely high affinity for Xu Bing.

Although these black crows are a system reward, they will definitely be loyal to me.

But as they spent more time together, the bond between him and his spirit pet clearly went beyond mere absolute loyalty.

Among Xu Bing's fifteen crow spirit pets, the only one with red eyes and black crow is named Da Hei. The other fourteen crows are named Hei Er, Hei San, Hei Si, and so on.

Although the crows were entirely black, they were not all the same, and Xu Bing could accurately distinguish the differences between each crow.

After seeing off the gluttonous Hei Shi, Xu Bing opened the document and read it carefully.

Gong Zhonghou's handwriting wasn't particularly good, but as a military general, he was already quite pleased that he could read.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gong Zhonghou was the only scholar among the two strongholds of Tancun and Futian.

Even his level was only about that of a third-grade student in his previous life.

But Xu Bing was already looking at Gong Zhonghou with the eyes of someone looking at talent, which made the strong man blush with shyness several times.

"Looks like you've been secretly practicing your calligraphy."

Xu Bing opened the document. Although the handwriting was ugly, it was a significant improvement over the previous one.

They've already strayed beyond the category of crooked, lumpy caterpillars; they can barely be considered slugs.

The document was very simple, with no unnecessary words.

The main contents are: Jiumi produced 208 shi per week, totaling 787 shi.

Iron production this week was zero, totaling 420,000 jin.

The villagers of Tan Village, who were in charge of mining iron ore, all devoted themselves to the construction of tunnels and hidden pits.

Three more secret passages have been added, each three to five miles long.

Ten additional covert locations were added, and four watchtowers were established.

The training ground area has been expanded by one-third.

The eight hundred new recruits showed a high degree of cooperation and coordination, and had already mastered the use of spears, but their discipline needed to be strengthened.

The construction of the 200 fire-cooked military armor is more than half complete.

……

Xu Bing closed the document.

He will not go out today, but will calm his mind and concentrate on his spiritual practice.

Primordial Space.

Holding a black lamp, Xu Bing walked through the long night. He opened the system panel and saw the "Creation of Wonderful Lotus" mark.

His Taoist lamp at this moment was even more majestic and extraordinary.

First look at the lamp body, which is a shiny black color, embroidered with a roaring lion pattern, and dotted with specks of green and yellow light. The lamp burns extremely brightly, raging and burning endlessly.

Regardless of what other people's streetlights are like.

Anyway, Xu Bing thought that the Taoist lamp in his hand was quite beautiful.

A person is like a lamp.

He remembered Zhao Qingyun's Taoist lamp, which was entirely white, like white jade. Actually, it wasn't bad in appearance, but compared to Xu Bing's, it felt a bit less refined.

The white jade lamp was thus transformed into a plastic lamp.

The lamplight in Xubing's room was still purple, but it had some differences from the original purple.

The purple flames, as they burn, have somehow acquired a more bewitching quality.

Like a ball of evil fire, a demonic fire.

What Xu Bing didn't know was that when he was holding the Dao lamp and the light shone on him, the Dao aura emanating from his body was already astonishing.

Her appearance is even more stunning than before.

Everything exists in the beginning; anything imaginable exists there, it's just a matter of whether you can find it.

There was once a Confucian scholar who discovered the knowledge of his predecessors in the Taichu (primordial state) and became an instant sensation.

Some people, in the beginning, accidentally entered the realm of invincibility, becoming unrivaled in the world.

太初……

Everything is possible.

However, opportunities are often accompanied by crises.

Those who died in the beginning were by no means few.

……

When Xu Bing opened his eyes, it was already late afternoon. He was very pleased with the progress he had made in his initial cultivation.

Although they didn't find any treasures, they stumbled upon an endless swamp by accident, a place filled with terrifying green miasma.

Many tiny sparks of fire were scattered across the swamp.

The density is more than ten times that of other places, and Xu Bing naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.

So he stepped onto the Qian Yuan Circle and frantically picked up the scattered embers in that corner of the swamp within the Primordial Chaos.

Those tiny flames, flickering like fireflies, foreshadowed the deaths of one Qi cultivator after another in this swamp.

Although Xu Bing was confident in his abilities, he dared not be complacent. While picking up the scattered lamplight, he kept a close eye on his surroundings.

Fortunately, there was no danger.

At this moment, Xu Bing opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

[Capital of the Great Dao: 131]

The system visualizes the Great Dao Capital as specific numerical values, allowing Xu Bing to see his progress more intuitively.

Although the concept of "Great Dao Capital" is very broad and does not refer entirely to "combat power," increasing it is always a good thing.

Xu Bing's progress was by no means slow, but rather extremely rapid.

Having finished his training at Taichu Middle School, Xu Bing picked up his thousand-pound spear and practiced the Dragon Playing Spear Technique repeatedly in the inner courtyard.

His marksmanship became increasingly refined.

The falling snowflakes in the air moved with the gun, like a long dragon, which he toyed with on the tip of the gun.

With a casual flick of the wrist, a long dragon of snowflakes struck the old locust tree by the inner courtyard.

Just hear a snap.

The snow that had accumulated on the old locust tree slid off one by one.

Xu Bing's Dragon Playing Spear Technique is a spear technique that combines both lethality and aesthetic appeal. When wielded, it is both graceful and ethereal, yet also strangely domineering.

It suited Xu Bing perfectly, so he never let it go.

I practiced it more than ten times in one go.

Xu Bing put the thousand-pound spear into his sleeve and checked the system page.

[Gunskill +2]

Xu Bing smiled faintly.

In the system panel, the attributes of [Charm] and [Prestige] are the most superficial attributes.

Because it's something you can immediately perceive by seeing with your eyes, hearing with your ears, and smelling with your nose.

As for the other hidden attributes, Xu Bing needs to concentrate on specifically bringing up the corresponding panels.

Xu Bing only recently discovered this. He had complained more than once that the system didn't have a manual.

[Gunskill] is one of the hidden attributes.

Xu Bing brought up the spear technique panel, where he could see the daily improvement he had made in his spear technique.

[Gun Skill: 19]

His marksmanship attribute is only around 19 points.

He then brought up Ji Yuan's panel to check her [Gun Skill] attribute.

Ji Yuan

[Gun Technique: 27]

This woman's marksmanship is indeed formidable; in terms of martial arts alone, Xu Bing would not dare to confront her.

In the previous duel, Xu Bing was able to win not because of his superior spear technique, but because of his greater strength and faster reaction speed.

These two points were enough to make up for the difference in marksmanship and teach the Empress of Da Xi a lesson several times.

Xu Bing looked up at the sky; it was still early, so he continued to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

It continued until night fell and midnight arrived.

It's time for the weekly check-in again.

【Ding! 】

It's midnight!

[Host, have you checked in?]
