A few days later, Kai stood on the roof of his main hall and overlooked the advancement of his village. The construction had been completed in record time, with only minor cosmetic projects left.
Thanks to his Qi-Enhanced eyes, Kai was able to see the movement in the nearby village. At the center of the village was a large, empty field where dozens of would-be merchants had set up their informal stalls. At the center of it all was Old Lao, who sat behind a shaded table alongside two of the three Lee family administrators. Behind them was a large banner with the emblem of the Heavy Cloud Sect.
In front of them, dozens of men and women were lined up and waiting for their turn to be called up to the table. Old Lao conducted interviews to find hidden talents within their small population.
