Lord of the Earth

Chapter 176 Five Colored Spirit Rice, He Shen (gold)
"Dad, Ronger is not dreaming, is he? How did you get here!"

Lying in Huang Yaoshi's arms, I felt the scent that I had been very familiar with since childhood.

In the eyes of several "barbarians", Huang Rong is extremely smart and strong. No matter whether she is facing aliens or gluttonous beasts, Huang Rong is calm and resourceful. For the first time, Huang Rong appears like a little girl!

"Thanks to Lord Xia for this!"

Huang Yaoshi touched his daughter's head.

Looking at the coarse cloth clothes Huang Rong, who grew up in fine clothes, and the obvious signs of battle, it is not difficult to imagine how much suffering she has suffered these days.

"Rong'er, this is Lord Xia. He has profound cultivation and great magical powers! It was Lord Xia who found you with a strange object, and then used the magical powers of the immortal family to bring dad to this island..."

Huang Yaoshi took Huang Rong's hand and asked her to meet Xia Tian.

Although known as "Dongxie", he has an eccentric personality, and his personality is not restricted by etiquette.

But Xia Tian's move was indeed a "favor" for him. He risked danger and traveled thousands of miles to find his daughter. This kind of kindness was hard to repay!
"Human lord?"

Huang Rong looked at Xia Tian, ​​her pair of big black and white eyes filled with curiosity.

Whether it is the people of the Unreal Sea or the historical heroes of the earth, after the arrival, the will of the earth has provided the concept of "territory of the human race" in their minds!

Therefore, I am not unfamiliar with the "Lord", but I have never seen him in person.

But Huang Yaoshi, who has always had a higher eye than his head, actually respected a person so much. This was the first time Huang Rong had seen him.

"Lord Xia built a city in the Land of Eternity specifically to accommodate the human race. Now it has gathered tens of thousands of people and built various weaving and lumber workshops... and a powerful army to guard it. It is not afraid of any alien race or ferocious beasts. The attack..."

And after knowing the situation of Xia Tian Territory.

Both Huang Rong and the "barbarians" from another world behind her were very surprised.

For those who live a hard life and not only have to face attacks from gluttonous alien beasts every day, but also have to protect a powerful alien race on the island at all times, such a 'human territory' is obviously a bit unimaginable!
And just when Huang Rong opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

"Well, some creatures whose bodies are covered with a layer of dark red leather armor and whose heads look like crocodiles are approaching here!"

Suddenly, Xia Tian's eyes moved and he spoke.

"No, it's the Crocodile Man! He must have been attracted by the roar of the 'Glutious Overlord' just now... Dad, Lord Xia, please follow us to the cave for temporary shelter..."

The expressions of Huang Rong and several "barbarians" changed slightly, and they immediately said to Xia Tian and Huang Yaoshi.

"Lord Xia, look..."

Huang Yaoshi looked at Xia Tian.

"Alright, I'm more interested in the 'Gluttonous Beast' people on this island, so it's okay to stay a little longer."

Although Huang Rong has been found, theoretically he can leave here and return to the territory with the "Jiangshan Battle Map", but Xia Tian has other plans.

First of all, the "Taotie Cells" on these "Taotie Alien Beasts" are valuable and definitely worth spending time to collect.

Secondly, through the "Eye of God", I knew that Huang Rong had He Shen, a historical figure beside him, and Xia Tian did not intend to miss it!

Moreover, Zhuge Liang is in charge of the territory, and his absence for a period of time will not have much impact at all.

He also has a "positioning teleportation scroll" in his hand, so he can go back at any time!
……

"Miss Huang is back..."

At the entrance of the cave with piles of rocks, several barbarian men from another world wearing simple clothes and holding bone soldiers immediately brightened up with joy when they saw Huang Rong!
"Thank God, nothing happened..."

And He Shen was even more relieved, letting go of his high hanging heart.

After all, he has fused "gluttonous cells" and needs to eat "food" to maintain his figure. If something happens to Huang Rong, he may not be able to escape the fate of becoming a gluttonous beast!

"Uncle He, this one is my father Huang Yaoshi, and this one is Lord Xia..."

"Lord?"

He Shen's expression changed when he heard this, and he glanced at Xia Tian.

"Please, please, please!"

Immediately, with smiles on their faces, Xia Tian and Huang Yaoshi were led into the cave.

"Is it really He Shen?"

At the moment of insight, Xia Tian already knew He Shen's information.

【Heshen (gold)】

【Level】Fourth level of metamorphosis

[Special Power] Not joining the territory, unable to gain insight.

[Talent] Money can communicate with the gods (the more money and treasures you can control, the faster your practice speed and the higher the upper limit of your skills)
[Characteristics] Greed for money (extremely greedy for money, able to exceed the limit of ability for money), official business (when dealing with foreign races and making transactions, can gain the favor of the other party)
[Skills] "The Taotie Treasure Book·Gold·Original"...Government Affairs (Grandmaster), Business (Grandmaster)...

[Description] A golden hero with great potential!

"Excellent potential, he is worthy of the famous He Shen. In terms of potential, he is not inferior to Jia Xu at all!"

Xia Tian's heart moved.

I have to say that although he was a top corrupt official in ancient times, his ability to leave his name in history and Shen himself is definitely not bad.

Historically, he served in many important positions in the Qing court, including chief scholar, military minister, official minister, household minister, criminal minister, minister of bodyguards, and infantry commander.

It can be said that he has an extremely rich resume and full political experience.

At the same time, he also personally managed the "financial industry" and opened nearly a hundred pawn shops and hundreds of large and small banks. He had a large number of business contacts with the famous British East India Company and the Guangdong No. [-] Bank, and accumulated a lot of wealth!

Therefore, after entering the "Eternal Land", the two skills of Heshen's "government affairs" and "business" were directly exhausted in the evaluation of the will of the earth!

"In the territory, the market has been officially opened. Although Hong Fu Nu is still competent...but in the future, if the territory develops further, I am afraid that a professional person will be needed to be responsible for the finance, business operations, etc. of the territory..."

According to the plan made before Xia Tian, ​​it is natural that this important organization that manages the territory's "money" should be in charge of a golden hero!
Heshen is undoubtedly the one who meets the requirements.
But the question is, who is He Shen?
Historically, after He Shen's fall from power, about one billion taels of silver were confiscated from his home, plus various antiques and treasures, which was almost equivalent to the total fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty for 15 years at that time!

It only took Heshen a total of 20 years to make his fortune.

Xia Tian wouldn't feel comfortable letting such a person take charge of the territory's finances!
Even if the golden platform exists, it can only affect his loyalty to people, but cannot stop his love for money.

"Forget it, you can take it back to the territory and arrange a idle job that does not involve money... Let's see if it can change its temperament."

As the saying goes, one's nature is hard to change, and Xia Tian is not sure whether this corrupt official will restrain himself?

"This island, surrounded by the sea, stretches as far as the eye can see... I don't know, how did you two get here?"

At this time, Heshen was discussing with Huang Yaoshi, his slightly round face full of excitement.

Obviously, it is realized that since outsiders can come, people on the natural island can also leave.

This means that what was originally thought to be a dead end after half a month, suddenly has a glimmer of hope.

But who is Huang Yaoshi?
For such matters related to Xia Tian's secrets, he was naturally tight-lipped.

Moreover, he himself was not very clear about Xia Tian's plan, so he just chatted with He Shen about various information on this island.

And Xia Tian was not in a hurry to say that he could take people away.

Because besides He Shen, there are almost a hundred "barbarians" in this cave.

These people's "Eye of Insight" shows that they possess the same "cursed shackles" characteristics as Bone Elder.

It shows that the other party is a human race from another world.

Compared to the human race on Earth who are relatively "informed about their roots", Xia Tian needs to investigate clearly what the personalities of these tall "barbarians" are like and whether they can integrate with the residents of the territory when they are brought back to the territory!
"Dad, Lord Xia, come and try my craftsmanship..."

At this time, Huang Rong took out some food from the cave, placed it next to the two of them, and said with expectation on her face.A dense, crystal light appeared on the surface of these meals.

It is the "luminous food" I saw in the "Eye of God" before, the top spiritual meal!

In particular, the rice that radiates five colors of light already emits very strong spiritual power after just simple cooking, just because these rice are not cooked from ordinary rice, but a kind of "five-color spiritual rice".

"Lingmi, it's actually Lingmi!"

Surprise suddenly appeared on Xia Tian's face.

At this stage, "Lingmi" is undoubtedly very rare.

Even if the territory has cultivated mortal-level plants by relying on the "power of the essence of the sun and the moon", it is still far from the real "spiritual rice"!
And Lingmi is indispensable for the territory of the human race.

Because, as the cultivation level increases, the food intake also increases simultaneously.

The prescribed diet given to the refugees in Xia Tian is one pound of rice and one pound of ferocious beast meat every day. This is only for ordinary humans.

And the higher the level, the greater the demand for food. Just like Lian Po in ancient times could eat "a bucket of rice and ten pounds of meat" in one meal.

People at the mortal level need "ten pounds of rice and ten pounds of ferocious beast meat" every day!
And this will inevitably cause a big problem, that is, people are not the legendary Pixiu, who can only enter but not exit.

But as much as you eat, you need to take out as much!
For many monks, eating too much food would be a very troublesome thing.

Lingmi can solve this problem very well.

Because spiritual rice contains very abundant spiritual power, for practitioners, they only need to eat an ordinary person's portion to maintain their own practice!
Of course, Xia Tian does not need to worry about digestion problems if he eats too much.

Because, Chef Ding's butcher's knife can condense the entire beast's meat into one essence, allowing Xia Tian to obtain a large amount of spiritual power and nutrition with only a small amount of food!
However, even if the chef relies on the help of rare items, the taste of the meal he makes is indeed not as good as Huang Rong, who has master-level cooking skills and special characteristics.

Each grain of this five-color rice has distinct grains and exudes spiritual power.

Pick up a ball of rice with chopsticks and put it into your mouth. A surging spiritual energy and fragrance have exploded in your mouth. When you swallow it into your stomach, spiritual power with different attributes blooms and blends into the five internal organs and six internal organs of the body. , these internal organs will be quickly nourished and strengthened!

After being baptized by the internal organs, they are transformed into the five powers of "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth" and then injected into the limbs and bones, generating a large amount of qi and blood, so that the human body's physical attributes begin to skyrocket!
"This, just this bowl of rice actually increased my basic strength by a hundred kilograms..."

Xia Tian felt very surprised in her heart.I couldn't help it, so I ate another bowl of five-color rice. This time I gained about fifty kilograms of strength!
Although the effect has weakened, it is still very powerful. Then Xia Tian ate bowl after bowl of "five-color rice" for ten consecutive bowls, and actually succeeded in increasing his strength to more than [-] kilograms!

"It's so easy. Will it break through [-] pounds?"

Feeling the changes in her body, Xia Tian's heart was filled with joy. Is this the power of Lingmi paired with the master's cooking skills?

"Wow, Father... He ate all our rice..."

However, Xia Tian ate ten bowls of five-color Lingmi.

But he made a barbarian "little girl" cry who was standing in the corner of the cave nearby, watching him eat, drooling from the corner of his mouth.

"Ah, sorry..."

After Xia Tian asked the reason, a bit of shame appeared on his face.

He only cared about improving his cultivation, but he forgot that this kind of Lingmi had amazing effects and was naturally of high value.

In a sense, it is not inferior to spiritual stones.

When these barbarians were already running out of food, he ate ten bowls of spiritual rice in one go, which was equivalent to one meal for a barbarian tribe of a hundred people.

These adult barbarians did not speak to stop them, they were already very "hospitable", but the "children" were childish and couldn't help but tell the truth.

"I was negligent, little sister, don't cry. Come, I'll give you something delicious..."

Xia Tian's brows flashed with light, and the battle map of the country and mountains of his destiny was unfolded in the air.

In the center of the scroll, a jujube tree growing in the desert began to tremble, and it dropped crystal-like jade-like jujubes, like red agate. Thumb-sized jujubes flew out of the scroll!

"This is a date...it's delicious. Put it in your mouth and bite it."

Xia Tian looked at this little barbarian girl who was said to be only eight years old, but was already two taller than Wu Dalang.

Tentatively, he stretched out two plump fingers, carefully picked up the date and put it into his mouth.

"It's delicious... I'm not hungry anymore, pretty girl!"

The next moment, the little girl's eyes lit up.

These Elaeagnus were obtained in the "Secret Realm Challenge" before summer and planted in the "Jiangshan Battle Map".

Its characteristic is that it can make the eater "full", which is exactly the opposite of the "hunger" of the "gluttonous cells" itself. In a sense, it can just suppress some of the side effects.

But only partly.

After all, Taotie cells are "wonders", and their characteristics contain the power of rules, which cannot be completely offset by ordinary metamorphosis plants!
"Are these five-color spiritual rice planted after entering the eternal land?"

After taking out a hundred Elaeagnus angustifolia from the "Jiangshan Battle Map" and giving one to each of the barbarians in the cave, Xia Tian asked Huang Rong.

"Yes! 'Five-color Lingmi' was grown by these 'barbarians' themselves."

The girl with black hair like a waterfall and a gold belt tied on her head nodded after hearing this.

"So, these 'barbarians' should have a piece of spiritual soil?"

Xia Tian's eyes couldn't help but move

Spiritual rice is different from ordinary spiritual plants that grow by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, or the free spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As a plant that can be cultivated in large quantities and used for food, the prerequisite for cultivation must be a piece of "spiritual soil" that contains abundant spiritual power!
"I once did have a piece of 'spiritual soil', but now I don't have it...it was taken away by the Crocodile Tribe!"

It turns out that on this island, apart from those "taotie beasts", the most powerful force is the crocodile tribe.

Moreover, he has a big feud with these "barbarians".

These "barbarians" from another world came to the eternal land. Their number was nearly a thousand, and the fate of their own world also formed a strange object - a "human god statue" similar to the spider goddess statue of the dark elves!
Its effect is to turn an area into "five-color spiritual soil".

However, after the second round of fusion between heaven and earth, the arrival of the crocodile people not only killed a large number of humans from other worlds.

It even occupied the area that originally belonged to the human race.

They even sent a large number of tribesmen to hunt down humans!

It wasn't until he met Huang Rong and He Shen that he survived in this hidden mountain area.

"A strange building that can create 'spiritual soil'?"

Xia Tian's face lit up, there was no doubt that this was exactly what his territory needed!

"Since there are two major forces on this island, the 'Taotie Alien Beast' and the 'Crocodile Man', haven't you considered 'driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf'?"

Xia Tian thought for a while and said.

Although Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Zhuge Liang were not around.

But under the influence of these days, Xia Tian will also consider the problem from a tactical perspective!

"I've definitely thought about this."

Huang Rong said in her mouth.

"It's just that those crocodile men are very strong, even those gluttonous beasts will not attack their territory easily...unless..."

Then, as if thinking of something, Huang Rong suddenly looked up at Xia Tian.

"Unless it's the 'treasure meat' on the 'Glutton Overlord', when the aura is released, it should be able to attract a large number of gluttonous beasts to attack it!"
