Chapter 395: Jiayi Shenggong

"Forget it, I'll just honestly carry it out. The matter of planting medicinal herbs is easy enough to handle, but the land issue..." He sighed helplessly, "I hope those people can recognize the situation." Having said that, he shook his head and turned to walk downstairs.

Lu Yu sat alone in the office, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk as he fell into deep thought.

"The people in the Zhai must be brought over as soon as possible, and those in other places cannot be left behind either. A capacity for two hundred thousand people seems large, but in reality, it isn't much. Moreover, constantly cowering in the city for passive defense is, after all, not a long-term solution."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but knit his brows. With several tens of thousands of people suddenly added to the city, every aspect—food, water, sanitation, public security—must be considered thoroughly.

Fortunately, he is not short of manpower under his command now; he just needs to arrange for them to perform their respective duties. But the most critical point is whether they can survive the upcoming Beast Tide; that is the biggest challenge.

According to what Ji Wanqing said, this Beast Tide is even more ferocious than the one ten years ago.

Therefore, even if they can withstand the first wave, there will be a second wave, a third wave behind it...

Unless those Beast Emperors among the Fierce Beasts can be beheaded, otherwise, wanting the Beast Tide to subside is likely just a fantasy.

"I wonder how those S-Class Awakened will perform this time. Placing hope in others is, after all, a foolish act. If I want to survive, I must redouble my efforts."

Lu Yu gently took out his phone, his fingers sliding skillfully across the screen to open the Association's exclusive mall interface.

His gaze fell directly onto the mall's category bar, first finding the "medicinal herbs" section.

In the dense list of medicinal herbs, the herbs required for one portion of True Qi Pill were priced at 20 points, a price that differed little compared to the Martial Arts Association.

When he shifted his gaze to the seed category, he found that the prices here could simply be described as people-friendly.

For only 20 points, the seeds purchased could cultivate enough medicinal herbs to refine more than ten portions of True Qi Pill.

"It really confirms that old saying: do it yourself, and you shall have plenty of food and clothing."

Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim. Without hesitation, he placed an order for seeds worth 2000 points. According to estimates, the herbs from these matured seeds would be enough to refine over a thousand batches of True Qi Pill.

"I just heard that there is an Awakened in the Association who can increase the yield of medicinal herbs. If I can cooperate with them when the time comes, perhaps the number of batches refined could be taken to the next level."

Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

However, he did not intend to meet those relevant personnel immediately, nor would he say anything about winning them over.

After all, judging from the agreement reached by both sides, his promise to serve as the president here and provide shelter for everyone was already a significant contribution.

If he were to easily give other benefits, it might make some people arrogant and spoiled, thereby losing the proper sense of awe toward him.

Of course, Lu Yu is not a stingy person; if those few people perform well and the medicinal herbs they plant satisfy him greatly, he would not mind focusing on cultivating them.

He held the same attitude toward everyone else in the Association.

Putting away these thoughts, Lu Yu shifted his attention to the Cultivation Method column.

The top-tier and near-top-tier fist and foot techniques and mental cultivation methods had basically all been collected by him; what remained now were mostly weapon martial arts and peerless martial arts.

His gaze quickly swept past the weapon martial arts and landed directly on those peerless martial arts.

He saw that the prices for these peerless martial arts generally started at 3000 points, and those priced at over ten thousand points were not uncommon.

Lu Yu looked down at the points remaining in his account, and after a moment of thought, added 【Jiayi Shenggong】 to his shopping list.

Although he had not yet unlocked the trait that could turn an opponent's True Qi into his own use, he understood in his heart that the time to unlock it should not be far off.

After all, he had already mastered the basic mental cultivation methods, and all that remained to be studied were advanced and even first-class mental cultivation methods.

If he was lucky, he might just unlock the trait of absorbing the opponent's True Qi and converting it into his own blood and Qi.

Once these two traits were combined into one, the day for the completion of the Undying Seal Technique would be just around the corner.

Although he did not have enough points in his account at this moment to purchase this martial art.

"It seems I still have to go out and hunt more Elite-level Fierce Beasts, and besides, my Experience Value is not left with much either."

Lu Yu pondered to himself while looking at the panel on his phone.

After maxing out the proficiency of 【Seventy-Two Acupoint Striking Hands】, only twenty thousand or so Experience Value remained, which would likely be exhausted after learning one or two more advanced mental cultivation methods.

If he encountered first-class or even top-tier mental cultivation methods, wouldn't the Experience Value required to cultivate them to the Consummation Realm start at tens of thousands?

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache; this consumption of Experience Value was truly hard to bear.

It seems he must redeem the Sun-Viewing Method as soon as possible; once he unlocks the trait related to comprehension, perhaps he could save a large amount of Experience Value.

As for how many points were needed to unlock the purchase permission for the Sun-Viewing Method, Lu Yu estimated it to be around one hundred thousand.

This point requirement was indeed quite high, but if he could manage to get some Heavenly God Fruit and sell a few, it would be enough to buy this Spirit martial art.

After all, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like the Heavenly God Fruit, just like other similar items, have the best effect when consumed for the first time, with the effect diminishing thereafter.

Therefore, selling one or two to exchange for the resources he needed was actually a wise choice.

Of course, he intended to give half of the Heavenly God Fruit to Ji Wanqing to consume; this could also be considered a type of investment on his part.

Having roughly planned out the subsequent arrangements, Lu Yu picked up his phone again, preparing to dial Qin Hai's number.

Now that Yongan City was under his control, whether out of consideration for Qin Hai's own safety or the fact that the people from the Zhai would soon be moving here, it was only right that Qin Hai should come here.

However, at the very moment his finger was about to press the dial button, he hesitated slightly.

"It would be better to just go over there myself, in my current capacity."

Thinking of this, Lu Yu nodded slightly, sent a message to Qin Hai with his phone to inform him in advance, and then stood up and strode out of the president's office.
