After inspecting the seaside and marking out plots for salt pans, Wenlong had the two elders arrange workers to begin construction as soon as possible.
Once back, he checked how the Repeating Crossbows were coming along. Seeing that they were usable, he instructed the clansmen to equip everyone with one.
Repeating Crossbows were not particularly useful here. They still posed a threat to ordinary Lord Realm cultivators, but against those above the Lord Realm, they had little effect.
