Chapter 2109 Cultivating Internal Strength, in One Day!

Lin Tianhao feigned surprise, revealing an incredulous expression.

"Who's so bold as to steal from the city lord's mansion?"

Bi Cheng sighed, "Who can argue with that?"

"The city lord is truly enraged this time, otherwise he wouldn't have sent out so many city guards."

"and……"

Bi Cheng looked around to make sure no one was there before whispering:

"I heard that the city lord led people to the Tao family today, and it seemed to cause quite a stir. Many people thought the Tao family was doomed, but for some reason, the city lord did not take any action against the Tao family in the end."

Lin Tianhao frowned. "The Tao family?"

He didn't have a deep impression of the Tao family. They had always been a very low-profile family, but their businesses and connections in Beiwang City were not to be underestimated.

They even have a certain network of connections outside of Beiwang City.

Yet, this large family remained completely invisible.

"I've also heard that someone has their eyes on the position of the city lord of Beiwang City, and all these recent events are aimed at bringing down the city lord of Beiwang City."

Lin Tianhao neither confirmed nor denied it; he had indeed considered taking over and becoming the city lord of Beiwang City himself.

However, achieving this step is not easy.

"What about Zhao Hu and his men? Did their raid on the mountains to suppress the bandits go smoothly? Although we are building factories in other cities, our main base is still here, so we still need to make some plans."

Bi Cheng shook his head. "Some bandits did die, but not many. The Northern Wilderness Mountains are so vast that even with a skilled martial artist leading the way, it would be difficult to hide them in a short time."

"However, several nearby mountain strongholds have been burned down, so those bandits are probably not going to have an easy time from now on."

Lin Tianhao nodded, "Then should we try leaving the caravan again to see if we can..."

Bi Cheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"This is a bit risky. Training refugees to become guards is quite expensive, and we can't afford to lose it all for nothing."

Lin Tianhao nodded. He had only said it casually; the real game was yet to come.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

"What did you say? No one was found to have been hit by the Five Poison Palm?!"

City Lord Yan Changhai was furious and found this outcome even more unacceptable.

"You go down first, keep searching, dig three feet into the ground, find it for me!!"

"Yes." Commander Ye turned and left.

After Commander Ye left, the woman came from behind.

"It's pointless to send him to search. If he can't be found near Beiwang City, it means he's already gone far away, and that person should be dead by now."

Yan Changhai gritted his teeth, "But it's the Spirit Refining Pearl..."

"Although the Spirit Refining Pearl is good, it can only provide one person with a wisp of true energy per day, and a maximum of three people can use it at the same time. The effect is still too slow."

"If you want to become stronger quickly, you'll have to resort to unconventional methods."

Hear this.

Yan Changhai hesitated.

"Yan Changhai, you must know that the Great Yu Dynasty is far from peaceful now. War is about to break out. If you don't have any strength, you will definitely become a victim in the upcoming turmoil."

"Moreover, is it really just about being the city lord of this small Beiwang City? Not everyone has the opportunity to become my Blood Demon Ancestor's disciple."

Upon hearing the woman's words, Yan Changhai's expression changed from hesitation to determination.

"Okay, I'll do whatever Master says."

Upon hearing Yan Changhai's answer, the Blood Demon Ancestor finally revealed a satisfied smile.

"Let's start with the refugees. Although young boys and girls will be more effective, the risks in the early stages are still quite high."

"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."

……

Beishizhai!

Lin Tianhao had someone test the Spirit Refining Pearl. Although the effect wasn't particularly good, and it could only help three people improve their cultivation level each day, it was still quite good.

In addition, Lin Tianhao also arranged for them to practice two cultivation techniques.

As for Lin Tianhao himself...

He also looked at these two techniques, and they seemed to be helpful to him as well.

and.

Lin Tianhao didn't know if it was because of the enhancement of his Beast God Body, but he cultivated this technique very quickly, which could be described as progressing by leaps and bounds.

After just one day of cultivation, Lin Tianhao felt that the true energy within his body was already approaching that within Zhao Hu's body.

This speed was unbelievable even to Lin Tianhao.

If he masters internal strength, coupled with martial arts manuals and the powerful physique and recovery ability brought by the Beast God's body, his future combat power will become exceptionally terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

In the past two weeks, the situation in Beiwang City has temporarily stabilized, thanks to Lin Tianhao's decision not to seize the official salt again.

As for the reason.

He had already brought in outside help last time. He didn't know what would happen to Yan Changhai if he really pushed him to the brink.

One thing is certain: there will be even more powerful people targeting him.

"Boss, the city lord's mansion has been recruiting refugees and secretly arresting them lately. I wonder what they're up to?"

Xiao Linzi brought Lin Tianhao some new information.

"Moreover, none of these refugees who were brought into the city lord's mansion have come out, and we don't know what's going on."

Lin Tianhao frowned.

Because of him, the number of refugees in Beiwang City has increased rather than decreased recently. It's just that Xiao Linzi himself was a refugee; otherwise, others probably wouldn't have noticed the problem.

As for why the number of displaced people has increased rather than decreased, it is simply a matter of the attraction of people.

Many migrants found work and had enough to eat in Beiwangcheng, and migrants from other places would also come after hearing the news.

This will lead to an increasing number of migrants.

This is true not only here, but in many places.

Work is always the most attractive element; everything else is just an add-on.

However, Lin Tianhao was also a little curious. The City Lord's Mansion should have a full complement of personnel. What were they trying to do by suddenly recruiting refugees?

Stockpiling troops?

Lin Tianhao recruited refugees and established caravans and escort agencies, wasn't it all so that he could turn these organizations into soldiers who could fight for him in the future?

How many people can the city lord's mansion accommodate?

Three hundred? Five hundred?

Beiwang City already has several thousand city guards. If the city lord wants to expand his forces, recruiting another one or two thousand people would not be a big problem.

After all, in this cannibalistic world, some powerful city lords recruit tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Never mind that for now, but you should still observe more."

Lin Tianhao wasn't in the mood to deal with this matter for the time being. He had recently been cultivating the Heavenly Star Technique, and his cultivation level was advancing by leaps and bounds.

It's estimated that it won't be long before he becomes a top-tier martial artist in this world.

of course.

He will be far more powerful than any of the world's top martial artists.

"This Heavenly Star Technique can only be cultivated up to the level of a first-rate martial artist. To reach a higher level, I need to find a new cultivation method," Lin Tianhao thought to himself.
