Lei Peng returned when Zuo Mo was discussing the design of the city with three people. Zuo Mo, who had never participated in building a city before, was very interested and the new city would play a crucial role in his plans.

  For the three of them, designing a stronghold that could withstand the Golden Elixir Cultivators was something they had never done before, and their enthusiasm was quite high. As for whether the designed scheme would be too difficult to build, let the boss worry about it, they just focused on designing.

  "What's the use of this beacon tower?" Zuo Mo asked, pointing at the design diagram.

  "Primarily serves as a warning to allies, aside from that, it can also accommodate twenty cultivators, its spiritual canopy can provide protection for the cultivators. Cultivators can stand on top of it and attack enemies with peace of mind."

  "But don't you think it's too small?"

  "It can accommodate twenty people, which is not small."

  "It's small, too small. At least it should be able to accommodate fifty monks, only then can we have fighting power. And that fire altar, we don't need it, anyway, we only have one city, no need to warn others."

  "Can it still be called a beacon tower without a fire altar?"

  "We can give it another name. How about Jian Ge, what do you think?" asked Zuo Mo with great interest.

  Three people were speechless.

  Zuo Mo's opinion was not finished yet: "Your plan is pretty good, but it's too conservative. Pure defense can't withstand the enemy's attack. The Golden Dan cultivator recovers spiritual energy faster than us, if he can't take down the city in one day, he'll come again on the second day, and continue attacking for ten days or a month, do you think we can hold out?"

  The three of them fell silent once again.

  One of them dissatisfied with the way said: "Jin Dan repairer raid attack city, Xiao Shan border no which city can withstand."

  "There wasn't before, but there will be soon." Zuo Mo glanced at his opponent and added, "If not then, we'll all die together."

  The three of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and their hearts were filled with despair. Heaven, who had the boss offended? Wait! Golden Elixir! A person flashed through their minds, Ming Xiao Lao Zu! The only Golden Elixir cultivator in Xiaoshan Boundary was him.

  "Is it Old Ancestor Ming Xiao?" someone asked tremulously.

  Zuo Mo smiled and said, "You guessed it right."

  The three men looked as pale as death, and Zuo Mo's smile was so detestable in their eyes, even more detestable than a demon. They regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. Although they had been down on their luck before, at least they wouldn't have lost their lives.

  "Alright, everyone." Zuo Mo clapped his hands: "Cheer up. I know you all don't want to die like me. So cheer up and use your strongest imagination to come up with a more feasible plan."

  One of them, although looking disheartened, still managed to maintain a minimum level of composure: "Boss, the Golden Elixir cultivator is unstoppable."

  "What can we do?" Zuo Mo asked with a shrug of his hands.

  He gritted his teeth: "Can't defend against it, maybe can think of a way to kill him!"

  "You're crazy!" The other two people screamed.

  "Go on." Zuo Mo's eyes widened in surprise, revealing an unexpected expression.

  His face turned pale, but his eyes shone with a crazy light: "The Jindan cultivators are indeed very powerful, but they are not without weaknesses. They are too proud and too confident in their own strength; what seems like a reckless move to us will be beneath their notice. We can set up an ambush, using the city as bait, and he may fall for it."

  "It's impossible, he'll see through our disguise."

  "Jindan cultivators are indestructible!"

  The other two muttered to themselves as if in a trance.

  Zuo Mo looked this person up and down before asking: "What's your name?"

  "Yuan Jiang, boss." The man replied respectfully.

  "From today on, you are the leader of three people." Zuo Mo immediately said to the other two: "You will be his deputies. If anyone disobeys, humph! Fighting against Jin Dan cultivators might get you killed, but fighting against me now will definitely get you killed."

  The two faces suddenly turned pale again, as silent as a cicada in winter.

  "Redesign the plan." Zuo Mo said to Yuan Jiang.

  "Yes, boss!" Yuan Jiang replied respectfully. He knew that as long as he could seize this opportunity, his future prospects would be boundless.

  Gongsun Cha listened to the reports of the crowd. Xie Shan stood aside with a face full of shame, he also knew that this time he had gone too far. Exposing himself prematurely in front of everyone was not a good thing for them.

  "Oh, I see." Gong Sun Chi raised his head, revealing a shy smile, and said warmly: "It's okay."

  Xie Shan felt slightly relieved in his heart.

  However

  Xie Shan's heart suddenly rose again.

  "Since this is your doing, you should also take care of the aftermath." Gong Sunzi muttered to himself: "Hmmm, this is actually a good opportunity, can't let it go to waste."

  The young girl's muttering to herself left everyone bewildered and perplexed.

  "Now the Ming Xiao sect is definitely tracking you down. Although you have disguised yourselves well, it's estimated that they won't need to spend much effort to find this place. Your current mission is to intercept and disrupt their pursuit."

  Everyone's face suddenly showed excitement, isn't this another chance for battle?

  Gongsun's mouth corners rose with a barely perceptible arc: "Each of you take one, go and carry out the blocking task."

  "Ah! Do we have to bring those newcomers too?"

  The crowd that was just excited and enthusiastic suddenly became dispirited. They realized what the "blocking task" was, it turned out to be a babysitting task. Thinking about bringing a large group of new people who didn't understand anything, including Zongru, everyone had a bitter face.

  Let them fight and kill each other, they are more than happy to do so; but let them take care of babies, no one is willing.

  "What's wrong, unwilling?" Gong Sun Chi smiled, showing his teeth.

  Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and shook their heads unanimously.

  "Of course I'm willing! How could I be unwilling? With a group of people, it's so impressive, haha!" Leipeng's laughter sounded like crying.

  "Very willing! Very willing!" Year Green also echoed in agreement, fearing that if he was slightly careless, he would be stared at by the young lady, and that would truly be a fate worse than death.

  Ma Fan saw Xiaoniang's gaze shift towards him and hastily jumped out: "I am willing to be the first to go into battle."

  Others were instantly filled with regret, why didn't they take the initiative to speak up first? Ma Fan's stupid brain is getting better and better, being a core member wasn't in vain!

  At this moment, everyone asked for battle.

  Gongsun Zhi smiled shyly and said weakly: "Be careful."

  The crowd heard this and was overjoyed, immediately dispersing like birds released from their cages, hastily rushing off to find someone to challenge.

  Zuo Mo suddenly felt a lot busier, the cultivators he brought this time were all skilled in their respective areas and many of them required his personal attention. However, before that, he first had to meet with Bao Yi, the one who planned this operation.

  "Boss!" Bao Yi bowed respectfully.

  He was shocked when he first saw Zuo Mo. From any angle, this boss was just a young man under the age of twenty. The more shocked he was in his heart, the less he dared to be slow. At such a young age, he could gather so many people, and his methods were absolutely not something that this small merchant could look down on.

  As he strolled around the camp, his astonishment grew thicker. Perhaps in others' eyes, this camp was crude and unrefined, but to Bao Yi's seasoned gaze, there were too many places that exuded an unusual flavor.

  For example, that jujube nuclear ship is a rare crystal treasure. For example, the female repairer beside the boss, and those three iron guards wrapped in golden spiritual armor, each of whom is unfathomable.

  His first task was to tidy up the warehouse.

  He attaches great importance to this task, and the warehouse can reflect the boss's family background to some extent.

  The warehouse was a mountain cave, heavily guarded by two groups of cultivators. As he entered the deep cave, he saw piles and piles of treasures, and was completely stunned. In that instant, he felt all the blood in his body suddenly rushing to his head.

  Good heavens! He saw a colorful array of magical treasures for the first time, piled up like trash into a small mountain.

  No one is in charge, no one maintains it. The first thought that comes to mind when seeing the package is: What a waste! It's really too wasteful!

  Then, he started the day and night sorting, he sorted the law-abiding treasures by category, by rank, and screened them. When Zuomo entered the warehouse, he saw that the warehouse was tidy and refreshed, and he was very satisfied.

  "You've worked hard." Zuo Mo said.

  "This is within your duties." Bao Yi hastily said.

  This guy is still quite capable, Zuo Mo thought, although he had a natural interest in business, but it was obvious that he would not have time later.

  "You take charge of the warehouse and military supplies." Zuo Mo gave him a reassurance. As more and more people arrived, Zuo Mo was finding it increasingly difficult to manage everything on his own. The training and battles of the camp's cultivators were handled by Gong Sun Sheng. However, tasks like logistics and supply management were extremely tedious. He and Gong Sun Sheng both had headaches over these matters, and as for Cheng Shi, that foolish person, he couldn't be relied upon at all.

  Bao Yi was overjoyed: "Thanks boss for your cultivation!"

  In charge of the warehouse and military supplies, this is a fat job. He values more the importance of this position. From then on, he doesn't need to worry about his status in this group.

  "Work hard." After Zuo Mo encouraged himself, he quickly exited the warehouse.

  Bao Yi's position was easy to arrange because no one else could do that job except him. However, the arrangement of others made Zuo Mo feel quite troublesome.

  They are skilled in various miscellaneous skills, some of which are even very niche. Left Mo is still not well now, how can they arrange it?

  He could only ask for advice from the White Bone Demon.

  "This is a problem." Pú Yāo thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps you can learn from some of the methods in our Yāo Shù Fǔ (Demon Art House)."

  "What's going on?" Zuo Mo's spirit lifted.

  "In some of our powerful demon clans, they set aside a portion of their resources and money each year to support those demons with unique ideas, helping them research new demonic arts." The Pú Yāo said: "Of course, some necessary audits and evaluations are unavoidable."

  Zuo Mo's eyes lit up in front of him, this is a good idea!

  Since they themselves don't know how to arrange things, it's better to let them figure it out on their own and save ourselves the trouble. As for supplies, of course we'll provide what we can within our power.

  Zuo Mo now needed a way to save his mind, if he continued like this, he felt that he would definitely have no time to cultivate.

  It's tough being the boss these days!
