However, since he could not find anyone.

He could only helplessly leave the Luo Family Ancestral Land for now, returning to the military camp outside Qingshi Town.

…

Following Luo Yong’s departure,

Luo Ping lingered in a certain corner for about half an hour more.

Only then did he return to the room designated for handling affairs.

“Come here.”

Sitting in the main seat, Luo Ping called out in a low voice to the Luo Family servants waiting outside the room.

“Family Head, what are your orders?”

The servant, hearing the call, hurriedly trotted into the room.

Bowing slightly, he asked with great respect.

“Do you know what matter Luo Yong came to seek me for?”

The servant, bowing slightly, pondered for a moment before replying, “The general may have come to seek the Family Head, most likely due to those fifty Mystical Creatures whose strength is comparable to those in the Skin Refinement Realm up to the Bone Refinement Realm!”

“Mystical Creatures?”

Upon hearing this term, Luo Ping was momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly came back to his senses.

Weren’t these Mystical Creatures one of the three great divine steeds of the Da Feng Dynasty?

To call them divine steeds might be an exaggeration,

but once their numbers grew and a group of cultivators matching the abilities of the Mystical Creatures were found to form a cavalry unit,

to say that such a cavalry unit could be a heavenly army that slaughtered gods and buddhas in their path,

would be no exaggeration at all.

Let alone a million or several hundred thousand Mystical Creature cavalry,

just a hundred thousand, or even fifty thousand would suffice.

As long as the Da Feng Dynasty had fifty thousand cavalry comprised of Mystical Creatures,

the dynasty wouldn’t be as passive as it is now,

it might even fall apart.

“What you mentioned, those fifty Mystical Creatures, what’s the matter with them?”

After a moment of silence, Luo Ping quickly inquired in a low voice to the servant before him.

“There is a foreign merchant convoy that is bringing these fifty Mystical Creatures to Huai Shui County, seeking to trade for food.”

“At this moment, it seems that the people from the convoy have already started contacting the Tang Family.”

“A convoy? The Tang Family?” Hearing this, Luo Ping fell into another bout of silence.

However, it was only for a moment.

Luo Ping then regained his senses,

waved his hand, and dismissed the servant before him,

and sat silently in the main seat, alone.

…

Mystical Creatures.

One of the three greatly famed divine steeds within the Da Feng Dynasty.

They possess an extremely docile nature.

Once they recognize a master, they will never betray them for life.

Moreover, these divine steeds, in the dark of night, are as beautiful as black jade all over their body.

Hence their name, Mystical Creatures.

Of course, their beautiful appearance is just one of the many advantages of these Mystical Creatures.

The most addicting aspect of them is

their outstanding potential.

A typical one of these Mystical Creatures can easily reach the Skin Refinement Realm,

and those with higher potential can achieve Bone Refinement.

A rare few among these divine steeds, if grown to their limit, can even attain the Organ Refinement Realm.

If paired with a cultivator of the Organ Refinement Realm,

their combat power can easily rise to another level.

Defeating higher-level cultivators is no issue.

And if there is an insurmountable opponent,

riding a divine steed of the Organ Refinement Realm, one could easily elude cultivators of the same realm.

At that time, it’s really a matter of whose steed is faster than the other’s.

…

“Everyone wants a Mystical Creature,

but our Luo Family really doesn’t have the capacity!”

With a sigh of helplessness,

Luo Ping had no choice but to turn his attention back to the affairs on his desk.

There was still so much to handle.

As the current Family Head of the Luo Family and controller of both Qingshi Town and Huangqu Town,

he could not afford to be slack in any way.

…

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

During this day, Luo Ping spent the majority of his time in the room handling affairs.

Luo An was busy developing the family’s industries.

Even though the gold and silver-based economic system had gradually collapsed,

as gold and silver depreciated and eventually lost their original economic value,

a new economic system was born.

That was the Grain Ticket, directly linked with food supplies.

One had as many Grain Tickets as one had food.

Moreover, this so-called Grain Ticket was a new currency jointly issued by several major grain merchants.

Initially, the people were unwilling to trust this,

after all, having grain in hand meant peace of mind.

But as time went by, as the gold and silver-based economic system completely collapsed and the trade of goods became more complex and cumbersome,

this Grain Ticket began to gradually emerge in the public’s view.

Also, considering the vast amount of grain the grain merchants had,

over time, the Grain Ticket began to take hold in the market,

becoming a new economic system replacing gold and silver.

…

The number of Grain Tickets was directly linked to the grain supply.

Places where Grain Tickets could be exchanged

were collectively referred to as Grain Offices.

Qingshi Town and Huangqu Town, located beside the Huai River, are not considered very remote places.

Therefore, after the Grain Ticket began to dominate the market,

Grain Offices where Grain Tickets could be exchanged also began to settle in the two towns of Qingshi and Huangqu.

…

Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was,

Luo Ping still sat solemnly in the main seat, dealing with those tedious tasks.

“Big brother, big brother…”

“Big brother, I have important matters to discuss with you in detail…”
