Luo Youran was sitting alone in the hall handling affairs, frowning and thinking from time to time. In front of her was a virtual projection emitted by the sect's jade token, which collected all the important things happening in the city recently, so that she could decide what to do next.

At this time, some time had passed since the Xuantian Empire occupied other dynasties, and there was no resistance to controlling these places. After all, most mortals could not even read and regarded cultivators as immortals and gods. Instead, they were very happy to know that the cultivators were in charge and cooperated very well.

The biggest problem now is currency. There are a large number of copper, iron and other currencies made by various dynasties circulating in the empire. Because there is no unified standard, some currencies are not recognized by others, which leads to great chaos and greatly affects the communication between mortals in various cities. The only two currencies that can be unanimously recognized are gold and silver.

Just as Luo Youran was about to deal with the next thing, she heard Lin Ji's breath in the distance. She immediately straightened her already neat clothes, and then looked worried.

As soon as Lin Ji entered the hall, he saw Luo Youran's current appearance. After so many years, even without the soul contract sensing, Lin Ji now knew that Luo Youran was pretending, so he stepped forward and ruffled her combed hair, took it back before Luo Youran slapped his hand away, and then spoke.

"You Ran, what do you want from me?"

With an angry expression, Luo Youran turned her head to tidy up her long hair, ignoring Lin Ji.

"Okay, don't be angry, I was wrong just now."

Lin Ji sat on the chair and squeezed together with Luo Youran. The two of them were tightly pressed together. Smelling the faint fragrance coming from Luo Youran's body, Lin Ji began to apologize.

"Master, even if you know it's fake, you should still cooperate with me. You're really hurting my heart!"

Luo Youran turned around with a sad and tearful look. Lin Ji knew that she was still pretending, but he also knew that it was impossible to reason with a woman, so he could only hug her and comfort her.

After a while, perhaps feeling that the time was about right, Luo Youran raised her head from Lin Ji's arms, and the sad look on her face was gone.

"You Ran, can you tell me what's going on now?"

"Okay~"

Luo Youran responded slowly, then left Lin Ji's arms, sat up straight and said seriously.

"There are several things. First: A letter came from the Misty Forest the day before yesterday, inviting you to the center of the Misty Forest. The ancient Wutong tree, the master there, wants to see you and discuss a very important matter."

"Ancient Wutong tree? I remember it was a Nascent Soul True Lord. Although it seemed to have some defects, it could crush Jindan but was still far from being a true Nascent Soul. I have to thank it for my rapid cultivation of the Wood Realm. What could it want from me all of a sudden?"

After listening to this, Lin Ji murmured a few words. No matter what, the ancient Wutong tree was the second strongest in the East Continent. Lin Ji's strength was still far from it. It was very strange that he came to him instead of discussing things with Master Yu Shui.

"I need to consult the True Lord before I can decide at this time. What about other matters?"

Luo Youran continued.

"Second, the currency chaos problem is already very serious. Although it has no impact on the monks, it has a great impact on mortals. If you still want mortals to continue to develop, you must solve this problem and unify the currency."

"Or we can just use paper money. If there are cultivators around, they can put some anti-counterfeiting marks on it, which will easily eliminate counterfeit money. Then make the marks look better, so that mortals will be more likely to accept it. In the future, money houses cannot be set up privately, and Xuantian City will unify them in various cities."

"Also, spiritual materials such as gold, silver, and jade are widely circulated among mortals. Should we recycle them or link them to the currency to be launched?"

This series of words made Lin Ji feel helpless. It was okay for him to decide the general direction, but if he really wanted to explain it in detail, Lin Ji didn't understand currency or anything like that, and he didn't know whether it was a good idea to link it with spiritual materials.

"You Ran, to be honest, I don't understand this either. Let's just implement your idea first. If there are mistakes, we can correct them. Anyway, we can afford to make mistakes. Also, let's issue an order to encourage childbirth. The population of the East Continent is not large to begin with, and the sea tribe massacred several cities during the invasion, so the population is even smaller."

Looking at Lin Ji's frown, Luo Youran chuckled, reached out to smooth it out and said.

"Understood. I will implement it first. The last thing is a very simple matter. After the East Continent is pacified, the army will not play a big role. I have already arranged some ordinary soldiers to patrol and guard the cities. It is relatively stable at present."

"But the armored groups are a little restless. The drivers from the school are relatively obedient, but the veterans often run out when the managing monks leave, and often fight with the people from the school. If the monks hadn't put away the armors when they left, people might have died. So I want to ban these people who don't obey orders, but this is a legion organized by your order after all, so I still have to ask."

Lin Ji felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Although it was he who ordered the formation of the Armor Corps, there were a lot of things going on since he woke up that day, and he really hadn't paid attention to it for a long time. Lin Ji didn't know how the Armor Corps was doing now.

"I'll take some time to go take a look and decide what to do then. And how are the wedding preparations going?"

"The invitations to the other three Daozi have been delivered, and the ingredients are almost ready. This matter has not been announced yet, and only a small number of people know about it."

Luo Youran's tone was a little disappointed. Seeing this, Lin Ji whispered something in her ear, and then Luo Youran's expression became happy again.

"Master, you can't lie to me, as long as you can convince Ningxue, you can give me the status to marry me!"

"Even if you can't convince Ningxue, I will find a chance to marry you in the future. This is my promise to you."

Hearing Lin Ji's promise, Luo Youran couldn't help but hug and kiss Lin Ji.

……

"What happened to Ningxue? Why did you stop suddenly?"

In the City Lord's Mansion of Tianshu City, Yu Yue, who already had a physical body, curiously asked Xiao Ningxue who suddenly stopped drawing the formation pattern. Xiao Ningxue destroyed the formation pattern that failed due to stopping and started drawing again.

"I don't know, I just feel like something is wrong there."

"It's your illusion. Or should I think of a way to use the teleportation array to stabilize the space?"

Yu Yue, who was beautiful and charming in purple clothes, said that she recovered very quickly and reached the fifth level of Qi training in just a few days. According to Yu Yue, the spiritual power contained in this body was enough for her to quickly reach the foundation building stage, and after that she could only practice slowly.

"Haven't we discussed this? The best way is of course to find a weapon refiner to use gravity stones to create a circle that matches the formation and use the gravity stones to stabilize the space. I have already given the blueprint to the weapon refinery. Now we just have to wait for them to make it and send it over for testing."

Xiao Ningxue continued to draw the array pattern and answered without raising her head. It was not that she did not respect Yu Yue, but Yu Yue was too excited after having a physical body. Not long after coming out of the room, she began to tease those young array masters, both men and women. Xiao Ningxue had no choice but to arrange Yu Yue to stay by her side and watch over her until her excitement passed.
