It might be better to directly refine pig iron here, or even forge products on site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is well-concealed, with sufficient wood to make charcoal, fully capable of becoming an Alchemy Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not everyone needs to stay; 3-5 hunters and soldiers taking turns can guard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Man Xiu’s wagon was returned, Luo De personally led the team to escort Man Xiu to the border of Black Pine Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, under the gentle sun,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De dismounted, casually handed a leather pouch embroidered with a crest to Man Xiu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this as a gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1534,"2026-05-30T15:19:44.915Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","a2f09acedbfd9face3e6fa6734c934199c84a6e6e2c78105d8172bbd428b5171","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-25","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-23",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg"]
