Yu Yue, who was dressed in a purple dress and looked beautiful and mature, turned around and sat opposite Xiao Ningxue. After thinking for a moment, she spoke.

"Ningxue, apart from the silver essence sent by Luo Youran and some spiritual materials that I haven't seen before, do you know anything else about the supplies that were transported from Tianyuan Star this time?"

Xiao Ningxue shook her head slightly to indicate no. Ever since Lin Ji arranged for Luo Youran to become the city lord, she had been in charge of these trivial matters. Apart from asking for spiritual materials and spirit stones, she never asked about these things.

Seeing this, Yu Yue continued.

"I asked Luo Youran for permission to take a look at that batch of supplies yesterday, and I found a small problem."

As Yu Yue spoke, she spread out her right hand, and the silver essence floating on another table was immediately attracted and fell into her palm. Then she weighed the silver essence.

"After experiments, I found that this silver essence with the highest purity is the best for teleportation arrays. Xuantian City currently has less than 20 tons, and the fist-sized one in my hand weighs about tons. This amount can only be used to build two or three teleportation gates suitable for the distance between planets. Moreover, the proportion of silver essence in it is much lower than expected. The final effect will have to wait until it is completed to know."

Xiao Ningxue frowned slightly after hearing this. If this was true, it would be really troublesome. When she first started testing the portals, she destroyed several of them. Although she had some experience now, it was a new material after all. Who could guarantee that there would be no accidents? Besides, her husband was not here, and there were no cultivators around who were proficient in the way of space. This was really troublesome...

Rubbing her forehead, Xiao Ningxue immediately made a decision.

"Master, I will tell You Ran later to use the silver essence in the warehouse that meets the purity standard to cast the portal. It would be best if we can make three. As long as one of them succeeds, it will be fine."

Yu Yue immediately understood what the other party meant and answered quickly.

"Do you think that as long as one of them succeeds, you can teleport the monks here, mine silver essence over there, and recast a portal to truly connect the two planets? But it still depends on luck. After all, there are only three of them, and the margin for error is still too low..."

"That can't be helped. There is too little silver essence. Master, take this blueprint to the Equipment Refining Hall now and let them take a look and start preparing. I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion."

Xiao Ningxue acted quickly and decisively. She placed the drawing that suddenly appeared in her hand on the table. Without waiting for the other party to agree, she got up and left the house and headed for Xuantian City.

"Ningxue, why are you leaving so quickly? I haven't agreed yet. Oh, you are becoming less and less cute."

Looking at his apprentice's disappearing back, Yu Yue complained while picking up the blueprint and quickly leaving Tianshu City.

……

A breeze blew, and the drizzle continued. A few beams of sunlight passed through the cover of dark clouds and fell on the eaves of the attic together with the rain.

It was afternoon, and a group of children around ten years old, wearing ordinary cloth clothes, were running and playing through the streets of the inner city towards the outer city in the drizzle after leaving school.

"A bunch of untalented mortal children running around are really an eyesore."

In a restaurant by the street, two people were drinking by the window. One of them, a young man in a blue-white robe, put down his glass and looked at the scene below with a frown.

"Brother Wu, be careful with your words. This is an order from the city lord. Besides, some of these children already have spiritual energy in their bodies. They may become our fellow Taoists in the future. There is no need to do this."

His friend who was sitting opposite him tried to persuade him after hearing what he said, then looked at the spiritual food on the table which had increased in price, took a few bites quickly, and then changed the subject.

"Brother Wu, have you heard about what happened at the beach?"

"The beach? What happened to the beach?"

The young man, who had also tasted the spiritual food, asked back in confusion.

"It is said that Qiongjiao Island was suddenly attacked by a large number of sea monsters, and the leader was a monster with the strength of the third realm. It is said that many monks died before the enemy was destroyed."

"Is this true or not? Please tell me in detail."

……

Compared with the harmonious scene in the inner city, the atmosphere in an attic in the city lord's mansion was a bit depressing.

"Your Highness, after a detailed investigation, we found that the amount of spiritual ore and spiritual materials missing this time is quite large, and it has happened more than once before. Added together over the past few years, the estimated value is close to 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones. The main participants are two people who are in the realm of foundation building and management..."

Tan Yue stood in the middle of the room and told Luo Youran in detail about the progress of the matter. She suddenly paused at the end and looked embarrassed, not knowing whether she should continue.

"continue."

The calm words coming from the front seemed to give Tan Weiyue some courage. She calmed down and continued speaking.

"It's Chen Changfei, who manages the mining of spiritual mines in the central area of ​​the East Continent. He has average talent and is almost forty years old. He is only an ordinary foundation-building person and cannot even get a rank in the Trial Tower. He originally did not have the ability to get this position, but the family behind him is the Chen family, and he is also the great-grandson of Chen Qingcheng, the real person, so he got this position."

"But there is also good news. Chen Zhenren has many grandchildren. There are 6 or 7 of them in public. And we have sufficient reasons. Maybe if we arrest him, Chen Zhenren will accept it."

"But Your Highness, I still suggest that we arrest the man and lock him up without convicting him. Then we can spread the news and test the Master's attitude."

Tan Yue finally made a suggestion, then calmed down and waited for Luo Youran to make a decision.

Da da!

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a sound. Luo Youran, who was wearing a black dress as usual, fell into thought.

"With the master away, direct execution would easily offend Master Chen, which would be difficult to resolve. It's not a good idea... It's not a good idea to punish him too lightly, which would weaken the prestige I have worked so hard to build up over the past few years. So punishment is definitely necessary, but there has to be a limit... According to intelligence, the relationship between the Chen family father and son is very good, so perhaps we can negotiate terms."

Thinking of this, Luo Youran stopped knocking and thought about how severe the punishment should be. Tan Yue below did not dare to say too much about such matters involving Jindan Zhenren, even though she was His Highness's confidant. The room suddenly became quiet.

squeak!

The closed door was suddenly pushed open with a slight friction sound, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room.

Tan Yue did not panic. She knew how strong the defense of the City Lord's Mansion of Xuantian City was. Even a Jindan Zhenren could hold them off for a minute or two. The only ones who could get here quietly were Daozi, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Xiao Ningxue who built the defense formation, and Yuanying Zhenjun who came and went without a trace.

It is naturally impossible for Yuanying Zhenjun to come here, and Daozi has also left, so it can only be City Lord Xiao.

"I've met City Lord Xiao."

Thinking of this, Tan Yue turned around and saluted respectfully, watching the other party walk to her prince, then carefully closed the wooden door, returned to her original position and remained motionless, like a sculpture.

After calming down, Luo Youran showed a bright smile and looked at Xiao Ningxue who was walking to her side. After asking her to sit down, she couldn't help but ask.

"Ningxue, how does that bowl of medicinal food taste? Is it effective?"
