After Su Can and Su Qi were persuaded by Su Lin, they began wholeheartedly advancing the village’s development.

Sanming Village and Qingxi Village need to be integrated and incorporated, with a three-day buffer period required between the villages. Within these three days, if no party changes their mind, the merger can be finalized.

The rules will relocate everyone from the merging village to the main village.

Meanwhile, they are also arranging safety upgrades for the safe houses within the village under secure conditions.

Externally, they are acquiring new house title deeds to accommodate the populations from the original Quanzhou and Xinlong villages.

The white gold coins given by the Dao Guan monk can’t be spent at the village camp, and no one can find the change, but previously they also paid hundreds of gold coins, which is enough for Wuyin to buy house title deeds.

But these things required by Wuyin Village, for now, are unrelated to Su Lin.

...

Noon, Fourth Floor Martial Arts Training Room.

Su Lin stood at the center, eyes slightly closed, feeling the Qi and blood boiling over within him.

His white clothes fluttered without wind, the surge of Qi and blood caused his clothes to swell, making a rustling sound, as if wrapped in the wind.

Su Lin had eaten Treasure Meat yesterday, finally filling the Qi and blood in his Tendon Lock completely.

After nearly a day of adjustments, he had regulated his physical and mental state to its peak.

Now, with natural progression, the moment to break through the Bone Lock in seclusion is now!

He suddenly opened his eyes, gasps of Qi and blood flashed from his pupils, "Observation" instinctively activated amidst overflowing Qi and blood.

Su Lin said in a deep voice to the two women in front of him:

"I don’t know how many days this seclusion will take, the matters thereafter, including guarding the home at night, will be entrusted to you two."

"Alright!" Su Tongxi and Song Yiyi nodded seriously.

Su Tongxi stretched her small face, saying:

"Brother Kirin, don’t worry, I’ve already filled my tendon lock to forty percent, and can protect our family well!"

This girl has a terrifying foundation!

Su Lin’s mouth twitched, the peaceful mind he had painstakingly maintained for a day was almost broken.

Even though she refrained from eating too much Treasure Meat for his breakthrough, this Humpty Dumpty still raised her Qi and blood by a full forty percent in just three days.

Su Lin shook his head helplessly, feeling almost defeated.

After giving some ordinary instructions, the two women reluctantly exited the Martial Arts Training Room, their beautiful eyes full of unspeakable sadness.

With a bang, the room door shut, plunging the entire training room into silence.

Su Lin took up the bowl of Tier Two Treasure Meat soup before him, tilting his head back to gulp it down.

The Treasure Meat, which Liu Jun had spent more than two days carefully simmering, melted immediately upon entry, sending a wave of heat surging from his throat and spreading throughout his stomach.

His mind sharply sensed a scorching stream rising from the stomach, quickly extending to his limbs and bones.

Sizzle!

White smoke billowed from Su Lin’s body, all his bones felt sharp pains akin to needle pricks.

His eyes turned instantaneously red, his face twisted in pain.

This mouthful of Treasure Meat, amidst his already overflowing Qi and blood, was like pouring cold water into hot oil, nearly causing an explosion in every part of his skin, muscles, tendons, and bones.

...

...

In an instant, five days passed.

With the village’s full force, matters in Wuyin had stabilized.

Sanming and Qingxi have successfully merged into Wuyin.

The Wuyin Hunting Group, now significantly enhanced in strength, continues to scour the wilderness for the newly refreshed monthly resources, leaving the stock of raw materials for ammunition plentiful.

The Su Family recruited tenants, staffed plentifully, and the underground assembly line was producing guns and ammunition endlessly.

The entire village had stockpiled enough bullets.

In this situation, the village households were undergoing large-scale safety upgrades.

The qualification for promotion was also in hand.

Currently, Wuyin is the largest village-level camp in the Red Heart Wilderness.

It’s even the only village-level camp in the East District.

By rights, Su Can and Su Qi should have some downtime.

However, the reality is quite the opposite...

"Old Su! Another gang of Town-level Camp people is here in the village!"

"Second Grandfather Su! That previous group fought again today! They almost tore the marketplace apart!"

"Second Grandfather Su! There’s a group causing trouble at Gouhuo Tavern, saying how can a tavern run without wine! They’re threatening to smash up Gouhuo Tavern!"

"Old Su..."

"Enough!"

Su Can, who had just returned, quickly raised his hand to stop them, his head aching!

Old Su gasped heavily, slamming down as he sat, grabbing the freshly poured hot tea by his granddaughter-in-law and downing it in one gulp.

Bang!

The tea bowl slammed heavily on the Eight Immortals Table, Su Can’s eyes were filled with anger, his nose flaring even more.

He slapped the table again, venting:

"This bunch of bastards! How can they cause this much trouble! We’re still officially under the name of Zhoushan Town!"

Zhao Yaxin silently picked up a cloth, wiping the splashed tea off the table.

Her eyebrows furrowed, troubled. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

In recent days, strong outsiders had become increasingly numerous in the village; worried her own appearance might bring trouble, she hadn’t left her house.

Su Can leaned against the wooden chair, tapping on the table with his fingertips, eyes slightly narrowing:

"According to hearsay, there have been quite a few disturbances in the Haimei town-level wilderness lately; the large towns above have been in frequent friction. One town has started harboring ambitions for promotion, causing disorder among the other towns."

Camp promotion has never been a lone affair.

Just as Wuyin Village sought promotion qualifications, other villages in the East District have either been destroyed or incorporated.

For those unwilling to be subjugated, it’s a battle not unlike life or death.

Su Can sighed:

"Ah, we’ve just escaped the promotion whirlpool, and not yet reached the town, but problems still persist?"

"It’s not quite that exaggerated."

Suddenly, a voice called from outside the doorway, and two Daoist Monks stepped across the threshold into the old house.
