Neighbouring

Han Xin was busy handling several problems, on the edge of his domain was a farmland who was right on the edge of the shrieking willows forest, strays spirit beast of undead element sometimes raiding the farmers!

"My lord there is a letter arriving for you from the new village in the Wen territory that was in direct border with our northern borders!" City mayor messenger.

"Oh! Bring it to me!" Han Xin open and read the letter.

"Told the servant to prepare a feast tomorrow!" Han Xin became happy.

(Dear Ah Xin, this is Ah Jin i will come to visit you in your city tomorrow, there are something i wanted to tell you and it will be better if we meet in person, prepare the best wine for me!)

Old Fu was taken a back "Let's go meet the head of the Han family on the neighboring city!" Wen Jin asked as if!!

(Why is this Lord keeps makes everything like building a city in the undeveloped land look like an afternoon walk, just go where ever and when ever you like! On the next morning the Lord was riding his giant spirit beast, the one that can raise walls and making giant pond, Old Fu once more speechless!)

"Come on get on! I'll protect you! He don't bites!" Wen Jin.

(If he did bites, he can swallowed me up in two bites anyway!)

"Do you felt comfortable?" Wen Jin asked Old Fu.

(Not that i can complaint!)

"It's okay Lord!" Old Fu.

"Xiao shi, i need to be there fast! Give me your best!" Wen Jin.

"Whoosh! Flash! Whoosh! Flash!" Xiao Shi was very fast!

"!" Old Fu.

The ride took about one hours, the normal traveling time riding a horse was half a day equals to six hours!

(Damn! I lost my appetite!) Old Fu was a bit jet lag because of the flash and dashing!

Han xin was waiting on the porch when the head guard reported an intruder on the gate wall when suddenly a giant spirit beast suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

"Ah Xin!!" Wen Jin shout!

"Ah Jin!!" Han Xin replied with the same loudness!

"Tell the guard to stand down, the intruder is my guest!" Han Xin told the head guard.

"Ow yeah! This is my village head, he want to discuss business with your city mayor, i really appreciate if you could take him to the mayor!" Wen Jin.

"No problem easy! Guards please escort the village head to meet the mayor, tell him it's my honored guest!" Han Xin.

"This way sir!" Old Fu followed the head guard wobbly he still a bit jet lag.

"Come inside!" Han Xin.

"Do you got the wine?" Wen Jin smiled.

"The best one, if you are not drunk, do not go home!" Han Xin.

"Ah! Nobody can't really made a spiritualist drunk you know! But i will drink if you drink!" Wen Jin replied.

"Ah! Let's talk then, come come!" Han Xin.

Wen Jin starting to tell the truth about his identity, Han Xin smiled when hearing that Han Yu has made a wild goose chase in the south, the Liu's has been harassed about it but seeing there is no Liu descendants with the name Jin and about the same age as the description they believe that the young man was a spy in disguise!

"So what you uncle Liu Pin says about it?" Han Xin.

"He said, why do you makes mortal enemies out of great families! You have the guts of a dragon? Then he said, i made his life exciting! Hahaha!" Wen Jin.

"Anyway if you are this great why do the Wen sent you so far to the edge of civilization?" Han Xin curious.

"You know how is it on the main family right!? I hate that survival of the fittest shit!" Wen Jin.

"I know right, they are so fucking hypocrite!" Han Xin.

"So i gamble and take the ticket out! So here i am neighboring with my best friend! I guess i took the right choice!" Wen Jin.

"I'll drink to that! Brother Jin!" Han Xin drink a cup!

"Brother Xin!" Wen Jin also raise the cup and drink!

A couple of things come up when they exchange tips and management issue,then the shrieking willows topic came up.

"What you have subjugate the forest!" Han Xin.

"Yes, if you worried about that i will make sure the spirit beast would never reach your farmland ever again!" Wen Jin smiled.

Han Xin was extremely happy, he was in a deep trouble because of the forest, and now Wen Jin has solved the problem for him!

"Actually i want to clear land further into the forest can you help me with that?" Han Xin.

"Show me the map!" Wen Jin asked about the clearing plan.

"Here i plan to developed the farmland until this point!" Han Xin indicated in the map.

"This part is a no grow land! Shift that to this point! The undead element will inhibit your crops productions!" Wen Jin throws some terrain pointer to Han Xin, his reports was detailed about every inch of the forest.

"This part is! Damn! You just save my investment! I'll be wasting money tryong to cultivate a bad land!" Han Xin.

"Here i can draw you the good land on your side of the forest, but i give at least a one mile transition ground for the forest spirit beast, you can still make money catching some mid level tier battle spirit beast, I'll hook you up with my uncle Liu Pin so you don't get double crossed about the pricing! He deals in this kind of things!" Wen Jin.

"Thank you brother Jin!" Han Xin.

"Ah! It's nothing special, if you are prosper we could help each other too!" Wen Jin.

They talk and drinks for hours, and then Old Fu came to see Wen Jin, he has strike a good deal over some building materials that was specially made in the central city.

"I see you have silver and iron mines here!" Wen Jin.

"Yes quite good sum!" Han Xin.

"I probably will have copper and gold mines if developed, interested in exchanging? Wen Jin.

"Sure! Just offer me the rate, I'll sent a counter rate, maybe our domain can reach common rate to do a fair exchange!" Han Xin.

"I will do that, brother Xin, i will visit some other time!" Wen Jin.

"I will wait for it, please brother Jin, i will take you out!" Han Xin leading the way.

After Wen Jin get back, he immediately arrange the perimeters to be covered, the ants would be patrolling on the area to ensure the safety of the human settlers. The undead ants began to breed in numbers, Wen Jin asked the queen to limit their numbers unless they found new food resources, right about now the undead that stray off from the undead mountains was enough, they were attracted to the caves, the skull was still emitting thick undead aura, it was inside the queen body the chance of fully digesting it was still unknown, the undead ant queen is still growing.

The next five days Wen Jin was focused on helping Wen Siang, Wen Su and Wen Ping to level up.

The Cheng brothers has been raised to level 3 since they were been on training from the hunting mission on the white tiger mountain ridge!

They has to breakthrough to level 4 to be able to contend above the average spiritual master! In the Wen family the starter that had level 4 is a candidate for junior hall master, level 6 would be immediate appointment, in Wen Jin case level 7 means he can choose in what hall did he interest in!

Wen Siang cultivation was the same as Wen Su and Wen Ping, because it's hard for Wen Siang to cultivate in the Wen family house without being noticed.

The Naga queen was meditating beside her, all the spirit beast can be a vacuum for condensing energy but to break the energy was the privileged of the spiritualist that made the contract, the naga queen was restless since Wen Siang was compressing the energy to her highest resistance, Wen Siang capacity for storage was very large, even larger than Wen Jin. Wen Su's Fire mane red ape was also restless, Wen ping Snow crown cobra snake was hissing like crazy enduring the compressed energy that was blocking the flow of the breakthrough energy, like what Wen Jin told them to hold out, because easy to let go will cost them their live (it's a lie, because letting go means they would have poor energy level for life, and Wen Jin was a perfectionist!)

"There is no useless spiritualist only lazy ones!" Wen Jin.

"Hmm, they are all leveling up, when can i have the time to take a closed door cultivation?" Wen Jin suddenly felt that he still has many things to properly manage "Maybe when Wen Siang, Wen Su, and Wen Ping became a bit stronger! I felt worried for their safety if i left them for training!"
