Tiandou Palace, inside the royal study room.

The Great Xueye sat at the desk and looked at the memorials sent from all over the place. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and he seemed to say to himself: "How is the investigation of that shadow building?"

In the shadow behind Emperor Xueye, a figure slowly appeared. The man hesitated for a moment, and answered truthfully: "The Shadow Tower was built on the basis of the original Flying Fox Tower. The owner of the Shadow Tower led the Tiandou Royal Academy to obtain all Su Qin, the champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, is the actual controller of the Shadow Tower.

But Su Qin has never shown his face in the underground black market, nor has he shown his strength. He has always been dressed in a black mask and night clothes. No one knows Su Qin's true identity and his strength.

There are currently fifteen elders and guardians of the Shadow Building. Two elders and three guardians have been bought by us and are serving as our eyes in the Shadow Building.

According to them, they are all people Su Qin met when he traveled to the extreme north and the extreme west. The relationship between the two parties was very good. In addition, Su Qin offered them a high reward. They are now helping Su Qin manage the shadows. floor.

His Royal Highness secretly supported Su Qin's development of the Shadow Tower. His Royal Highness also gave Su Qin some other help, such as manpower and materials, within the scope of his ability.

The main purpose of the Shadow Tower is to help His Royal Highness Prince Su Qinye make money and collect all kinds of information.

Recently, in the underground black market, the Linglong Gambling House opened in the Shadow Tower is very hot. There are various novel gambling methods in it. According to the report of the five informants, they can net five thousand soul coins every day!

Those novel gameplays are said to have been created by Su Qin, including turntables and lottery..."

Listening to the shadow behind him, the Great Emperor Xueye frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Su Qin publicly supports Qinghe?"

The black shadow was silent for a moment and replied: "I don't know, but according to the report from the informant in the Prince's Mansion, the Prince and Su Qin have reached some sort of cooperation, and the specific situation is not clear."

The Great Xueye was silent for a while, and said: "The development of the Shadow Tower can give some help, but keep an eye on it. Don't let the spies of various forces get in and become high-rises. The Flying Fox Tower is an example."

"Yes."

The black shadow replied respectfully, and then quietly left the royal study room.

The Great Xueye raised his head and glanced at the moon hanging high outside the window, and sighed in his heart. I hope that after this great war, the Heaven Dou Empire can continue!

...

Time passed quickly, and another month passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period of more than a month, Su Qin first handled the batch of craftsmen who had come to join Su Qin, and arranged for them the work they needed to complete.

The new-type gunpowder research and development laboratory headed by Wang Dahu's family, leather smiths make leather saddles, the blacksmiths headed by Shi San, the swords and spears made by the blacksmiths, carpenters and stonemasons cooperate to build the mountain top courtyard and so on.

Except for the slow progress of the gunpowder improvement department, the progress of the other departments is not bad.

In addition, Su Qin recruited a total of 500 volunteers in the territory, but when these young men first arrived, most of them were yellow-faced and thin. Such soldiers are not good.

Fortunately, it was all caused by insufficient food and malnutrition.

After improving their diet, their complexions gradually turned ruddy. Coupled with Su Qin’s reasonable militarized management, each of them was like a different person. Although not tall and mighty, they stood still. It's straight, and it seems to have a bit of momentum.

The equipment produced was the first to be supplied to this group of people, but because Su Qin had stricter requirements for the finished product, the speed of production of those weapons was not fast. So far, weapons such as Modao, Pike, Zhuge Liannu, etc. There are only more than a dozen of them, and a few even made only one or two samples.

Because of Su Qin's strict requirements, the arrows fired by these Zhuge Liannu were enough to break the defense of the Second Ring Great Spirit Master. However, because the most common materials are used, and the craftsmanship of these people is only common, this limits the power of these things.

Su Qin believes that with the advancement of blacksmiths' craftsmanship and the improvement of material quality, this power can also be strengthened.

Moreover, because the volunteers have not yet completed the first round of Su Qin's three-month training, their training methods are still mainly in standing military posture, N kilometers cross-country, and literacy training.

According to Su Qin's request, these people work at the foot of the other courtyard built by Su Qin.

So far, everything is going well.

The 18 children whom Su Qin had taught soul power cultivation methods, even the youngest children now have cultivated soul power.

However, because they did not practice for a long time, such as Niu Tie, Shi Biao, Zhang Ling and the other three who took the lead in cultivating soul power, the highest soul power level was only about level 3.

And people like Shi Xiu who have not yet awakened their spirit power cannot use the crystal ball to test their spirit power to test their spirit power level, even Su Qin cannot accurately distinguish their spirit power level without touching them. , There seems to be some kind of rule restricting the general.

But Shi Xiu lived up to Su Qin's high expectations. He had only cultivated for more than four months, and his spirit power level had reached the sixth level, almost twice that of the others!

According to the progress of this cultivation, Su Qin estimated that when Shi Xiu was awakening his spirit in two months, his spirit power level should be around 8 or 9. When a martial soul is awakened, the soul power level is eight or nine, and it can be considered a genius, and it also has a high training value.

Moreover, the little girl who was only over three years old also had two levels of spirit power. Seeing this, Su Qin had a guess in his heart, could it be that if the spirit power is cultivated before the spirit of martial arts is awakened, will the spirit power increase faster?

There are too few samples, and Su Qin can only guess, unable to give an accurate answer.

Maybe after many years, after the cultivation methods are promoted, we can study this problem with a huge base.

...

The three-month period agreed upon by the Shadow Tower, the Thousand Birds League, and the Four Elephants Society is coming soon, and it is time to take the entire underground power of Heaven Dou City into the bag.

On this day, Su Qin answered the problems that Shi Xiu and others had encountered in their practice during the recent period.

Su Qin glanced at a few people, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll answer your questions. Cultivation still requires your own efforts. Keep working hard!"

"is teacher!"

The eighteen children said in unison.

Su Qin looked at Niu Tie, who was the strongest among the group of people, and said: "Niu Tie, the five hundred soldiers will be handed over to you. Train according to the requirements of my schedule. Is there a problem?"

"Teacher, no problem!"

Niu Tie stood straight, and made a military salute towards Su Qin, saying in a very firm tone.

Su Qin walked to Niu Tie, handed Niu Tie the paper with the next training schedule of the soldiers, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "Well, I am optimistic about you."

Niu Tie respectfully accepted the schedule with both hands, carefully put it in his pocket, and nodded firmly.

Su Qin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have things to deal with, so I will leave first."

"goodbye teacher."

Su Qin left the martial arts field, and went to tell San Shu and the others what happened after he left, which was to head towards Tiandou City.
