After all, the cultivation period for an Ancient Guardian alone takes three days.
This is mainly due to the irrigation with Moon Spring Water.
If it were replaced with Moon God Spring Water, the cultivation time might be even shorter. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn noⅴelfire.net
Nevertheless, planting it as early as possible and forming it quickly is never a mistake.
After planting this one, there will be two Ancient Guardians in the territory.
Zong Shen first collected all the Moon God Spring that had been produced over the past few hours.
Then, he walked out of the small courtyard.
He still had many matters to arrange.
Luna and the two Wolf Cavalry were still on their way back with dozens of cattle and sheep seized from the bandit camp.
Madeleine and Lensa Shuizhao were also returning with five villagers recruited from Sitanos Village and ten cattle.
A journey of tens of kilometers on foot would take about eight or nine hours.
Zong Shen estimated that Luna and her group would return around eight o’clock.
As for Lensa and her team, since they departed later, they might only arrive around ten o’clock.
After eight o’clock in the evening, it would enter a time when the beasts started to boil.
Their forces were insufficient and might not be able to protect those cattle and sheep adequately.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen assigned the five Wolf Cavalry who were patrolling at home in the afternoon.
He ordered them to march twenty kilometers east to patrol.
Once they found both groups, they should protect them on the spot.
Although both teams set off from different points and times, their destination was the same, and the target was large and conspicuous.
As long as the Wolf Cavalry moved in approximately the right direction, they would surely find them.
The five Wolf Cavalry received the order and rode their Giant Wolves eastward, gradually disappearing into the night.
"Wenresa, I’ll leave this Seed of the Ancient Guardian to you. You’re responsible for planting it."
Zong Shen summoned Wenresa, who was speaking with the Ranger sisters.
He handed her the Ancient Guardian and also extracted 600 milliliters of the old version of Moonlight Spring Water, placing it in an empty bucket.
He let her plant this Seed of the Ancient Guardian on the right side of the small courtyard.
So it would be left and right.
As for why not use the Moon God Spring for irrigation, it was simply not cost-effective.
The spring water only accelerates cultivation time and cannot enhance the Guardian’s attributes.
As a Tree Spirit, the Ancient Guardian can also level up by killing monsters.
Moreover, despite being able to move, its speed is not fast; it can only serve as a passive city defender.
Comparatively, taking the Moon God Spring to the Market for trade would maximize profits.
Isn’t it just three days?
The other Ancient Guardian will only need another one and a half days to finish cultivating.
Zong Shen can afford to wait for this short time.
Not far away, a 40-meter-long Tier One City Wall had already been constructed; without connecting pieces, it seemed rather abrupt.
This was a major project, requiring a significant amount of resources and effort.
But with the wall, a relatively enclosed safe environment was created.
It’s also a necessary step to undertake sooner or later.
On the other side of the small courtyard, eight Tier One Grass Huts were under construction.
The Kobolds gathered in a secluded corner outside the small courtyard, appearing somewhat out of place.
As Burrow Creatures, living with humans was indeed a bit unsuitable for them.
These Grass Huts would serve as their temporary housing.
Once Zong Shen captured the mine, they would be dispatched there, and the mine area would be developed into an enclave. Of course, many issues still needed solving.
Zong Shen thought for a while and casually sat at the small courtyard entrance.
He started to inspect the items found from Zhang Song’s relics.
Tier Two Crossbowman Training Manual
Essential item for building any Tier Two Crossbowman Camp

Basic Magic Core Manufacturing Blueprint

Manufacturing Time: 20 minutes
The Basic Magic Core is the essential power core for various basic Magic Energy Products, requiring Basic-level Magic Energy Crystal for energy supply
(Technology changes life; the magical is superior to the electrical)
Zong Shen, without overthinking, first learned all these blueprints at once.
Seeing the Bakery, Zong Shen remembered opening three sets of Basic Fertile Land Construction Blueprints (10×10) in the treasure chest found in the bandits’ tent today.
The Basic-Level Fertile Land is a complete building that requires no material expenses.
It can increase crop growth speed by 30%.
Zong Shen placed these three pieces of Basic-Level Fertile Land beside the previous one.
Forming a square block.
The 400 square meters of farmland amounted to over half an acre.
He still called over the two female farmers responsible for the farmland previously, instructing them to sow seeds the next day.
However, there wasn’t enough wheat seed left, and Zong Shen planned to buy some later at the Market.
Now, they only needed to wait for the newly joined farmers and those cattle and sheep to return.
Due to the Vitality Totem, Zong Shen’s fatigue state was rapidly dissipating and his physical strength gradually recovering within the territory.
As the territory continues to develop, things will only get better and better.
He stepped to the stovetop.
Casually fetching a piece of untreated wolf meat.
The meat’s color no longer appeared fresh but rather a bit dull.
Because he discovered the items in the Storage Grid also slowly deteriorated, albeit slower than when placed outside.
With so much meat, the camp couldn’t finish it all in a short time.
Therefore, he planned to make all the reserved meat in the Storage Box into roast meat.
The storage time for roast meat is longer than fresh meat.
It was already the third night since landing.
Noon tomorrow marks the end of the Newbie Stage protection period.
Food remained a hot commodity in the Market.
Zong Shen planned to sell some of the meat stored up.
He fired up the stove and started roasting meat, setting the quantity to maximum.
He roasted another 60 portions.
After finishing this, he approached the Market nearby and retrieved the resources exchanged for the three portions of Moon Holy Water he put up earlier in the afternoon.
He acquired 750 portions of Wood, 750 portions of Ma.
The Market had now upgraded to Tier Two, allowing five commodities to be listed for sale simultaneously. Zong Shen again listed five portions of Moon Holy Water, each unit consisting of 40 milliliters of Moon God Spring, continuing to trade each for 250 Wood and 250 Ma.
He was preparing materials for building the city wall.
Just as he completed the listings, he smelled a thick scent of alcohol coming from behind him!
