The system is the proficiency panel

The large garden of the City Lord's Mansion in Xuantian City is full of spring, with colorful flowers, shady trees, colorful flowers competing for beauty, and butterflies dancing.

"your Highness!"

Suddenly, a scream was heard outside the garden, and then a beautiful woman in a yellow dress was seen hurriedly walking towards this side through the garden's defense formation.

The girl leaning on the pavilion by the lake in the garden stopped practicing after hearing the noise, and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes as dark as the night sky revealed a bit of indifference and dissatisfaction. She looked at the figure running towards her in a hurry, and found that it was the subordinate given to her by her mother when she was in Hengguo. She restrained her emotions and said helplessly.

"Tan Yue, Hengguo is no longer here. I am now the Lord of Xuantian City. You can just call me Lord."

"But…"

The woman called Tan Yue was obviously embarrassed. She hesitated and looked at Luo Youran opposite her. She seemed to want to say something when Luo Youran interrupted her.

"Forget it, tell me, what's the matter that makes you look for me so urgently?"

"Your Highness, this is what happened. Last month, you issued an order for the mayors of each city to begin expansion, provide accommodation for mortals, and register their identities. Today, all cities have sent completion notices and jade cards recording their identities. They are all here."

Tan Yue answered respectfully, then took out a jade token from her savings ring and hovered it in front of Luo Youran.

His mental power swept across the jade token, and the contents inside immediately appeared in Luo Youran's mind.

Two-story houses rise from the flat area outside the city wall. These buildings are made of rocks and were constructed by monks using magic. They are very solid and are equipped with wide sewers and some public toilets.

According to the information, most of the mortals in this city have moved out of the city. The city is basically full of monks. There is also a small number of mortals who are students of the academy and the monks' families. From then on, the inside and outside of the city can be regarded as two different worlds.

This is also the reason why the cultivators are so active, because their senses are too sharp, and mortals who have not cultivated to shed their mortal bodies are just a moving source of odor for the cultivators. Although they can suppress their five senses on their own, they still feel a little uncomfortable. It is only because of the pressure from Lin Ji, otherwise they would have driven these mortals out long ago. So after Luo Youran gave the order, there was no objection and the execution was very fast.

After casually looking at a few cities, Luo Youran came back to his senses and asked Tan Yue to put away the jade token before speaking.

"You don't need to come to me for these trivial matters. Just hand them over to the Population Administration Bureau. Or do you have any questions you want to ask? So you find an excuse to come to me."

Tan Yue, whose thoughts were exposed, looked a little embarrassed and lowered her head quickly. She hesitated for a long time before raising her head and spoke hesitantly.

"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just can't figure it out. Judging from the previous orders, Daozi wanted mortals and monks to get along well with each other. Why did you, Princess, issue this kind of order? Wouldn't this widen the gap between the two?"

"Tan Yue, you have been wandering for a while since the demise of Heng Kingdom, so you must have some understanding of mortals. Let me ask you, what do you think is the greatest role of these mortals to the Xuantian Empire composed of cultivators?"

In response to Luo Youran's question, Tan Yue was slightly stunned. After thinking about it carefully, she spoke uncertainly.

"It should be fertility. No matter which aspect you look at, mortals cannot compare to cultivators, except for reproduction. According to the statistics of the empire, most cultivators will not consider having children before they have established their foundation, even if they have a Taoist partner, for fear that they will be distracted by taking care of children and delay their cultivation. Only cultivators who have established their foundation or have no hope of establishing their foundation will have children when they have plenty of time to take care of the next generation. Mortals are different. They basically start to reproduce when they are in their teens."

"Yes."

After listening to Tan Yue's words, Luo Youran smiled and nodded and continued.

"The population of the East Continent is too small now. Wars often occurred before unification, and after experiencing the invasion of the sea tribe, the total population of the East Continent is less than 100 million, and most of them are ordinary people who can't even read."

"Although some students of this generation in the academy are talented in technology and cultivation, I still don't have much hope. The number is too small. That's why the empire has made the lives of mortals better and issued a policy to encourage childbirth. It is hoped that the next generation of population will grow rapidly, and then children will be arranged to learn knowledge from an early age, and truly become the cornerstone of the Xuantian Empire. The only problem now is that, apart from spiritual power infusion and elixirs, there is no simple and effective way to improve the physical condition of mortals."

After speaking a long paragraph, Luo Youran paused, looked at Tan Yue who looked thoughtful, sighed softly, and spoke.

"Still have any questions?"

"Nothing."

Tan Yue showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, then shook her head and replied.

"In that case, you can leave now and send the jade token to the Population Administration Bureau."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

After Tan Yue bowed and left, Luo Youran looked at the fish swimming in the lake, her eyes flickering, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, she glanced at a ruby ​​ring on her right ring finger, and suddenly a formation rune flashed, and Luo Youran disappeared.

……

In a classically decorated study, Xiao Ningxue began to sketch two completely different array patterns around her while multitasking.

One is the water formation. Under normal circumstances, with her proficiency, she could instantly deploy it out of thin air, but now the other formation slowed down her speed.

The space-shifting formation was created by her and her master Yu Yue after referring to all the space-related formations they had and spending a lot of effort. It is a space formation that can be deployed and moved at any time.

In the teleportation array, not only can one move oneself to any location at will, one can even move objects into the enemy's body. However, this consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and the array patterns are complicated, making it very difficult.

The aqua blue and silver-white array patterns intertwined in the air, yet were clearly distinguished. They looked extremely gorgeous and beautiful. Xiao Ningxue continued to sketch them in the air with great concentration.

As time went by, the water array had been completed long ago, but the patterns of the space-shifting array became more and more complicated. Beads of sweat oozed out of Xiao Ningxue's forehead. Her eyes were fixed on the array patterns in the air, and the sweat on her forehead kept rolling down.

As the last formation pattern was completed, Xiao Ningxue finally breathed a sigh of relief and expanded the formation outward. Then, after a spatial fluctuation, she disappeared from the spot and appeared outside the house. Then she returned to the house again. After repeating this several times and understanding its general usage, she dispersed the formation and took a pill to replenish her energy.

"The speed of forming the two formations together is still too slow. It is still not suitable for fighting. I still need to practice more."

Xiao Ningxue muttered to herself, feeling the sweat on her body and the mental fatigue, frowned, opened the door and walked out, heading for the Xuanbing Bath.

The black ice bathing pool is located in an independent small courtyard, wrapped in layers of formations. Only she, Lin Ji, and Luo Youran have been here. There is a piece of black ice in the center of the bathing pool. Although it makes the spring water extremely cold, it has the effect of concentrating the mind and restoring mental strength, and it is very significant. It is nice to take a rest here when you are tired from practicing.

Xiao Ningxue took off her clothes, revealing her graceful body, and slowly walked into the water. She immediately felt a coolness all over her body. She sighed comfortably, closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing and rhythm, emptied her mind and let her body relax.

After a while, Xiao Ningxue, who was still resting, noticed that someone suddenly appeared in the City Lord's Mansion. After scanning with her mental power, she realized it was Luo Youran, so she sent a message saying that she was in the Xuanbing Bath.
