Lord of the Earth

[You entered the 'Taixu Illusion Realm' through the secret passage under your control, and completed an 'experience'. Because of your status as a human lord, your control over the secret realm is +5%, and you have an opportunity to consume the power of luck to 'refine the false into the real' from the Taixu illusion...]

[Your control over Taixu Illusion has reached 20%, and you have gained new permissions: Reset. Consuming a certain amount of luck can allow a territory person to enter the 'Taixu Environment' for the second time! 】

There was a happy expression on Xia Tian's face.

"Well, by consuming luck, can people enter a second time?"

Xia Tian's face was happy.

There is no doubt that this is really valuable.

After some testing to understand the functions of this secret realm.

Xia Tian is actually thinking in his heart, should he let the territorial talents enter earlier or later?

After all, from the current point of view, the background of the illusion that evolves in the secret realm seems to be related to the cultivation of outstanding people. Entering too early may seem like a disadvantage...

But now there is a "reset" option, which undoubtedly solves a big problem.

It is absolutely possible to make the territory famous.

Enter once now, and then enter again when your cultivation level is high, extraordinary, or even higher!

However, Xia Tian is more concerned about what he can get from "refining falsehood into reality"?

Soon, in front of Xia Tian, ​​a yellow cloth imperial edict in the form of a jade scroll appeared in an illusory state, with the "names" of emperors on it!

[Emperor's Covenant (Jade White)]

【Type】Exotic treasure

[Explanation] In the illusion of Taixu, the contract signed by many emperors of the human race is "refined into reality" to the eternal place, which can be used to strengthen some "contract-type" wonders!

[Remarks] "Refining falsehood into reality" requires 100,000 Qi Luck!

"Well, is it that contract or the quality of jade?"

There was some surprise on Xia Tian's face.

You must know that he is very aware that his performance in the "Taixu environment" is definitely not "perfect", let alone the so-called "superior"!

In theory, things that can "refine falsehood into reality" can reach the most golden rating, but I didn't expect to be qualified to refine the "Jade White" rare treasure!

"Is it also because of the special status of the lord?"

Xia Tian guessed with surprise.

Especially since this thing can actually strengthen the "contract".

You know, Xia Tian happens to have a "contract" with jade white potential in his hand, which is the "Millennium Contract" from the Dragon Clan.

Also, it was originally a key item used to control the entire Dragon Clan, but after Xia Tian became the "Dragon Clan Arms Master", the usefulness of this contract has undoubtedly become dispensable.

In addition, to upgrade it to "jade white" quality, it is necessary to find the other half of the "thousand-year contract" in the hands of the human race in that world.

With the vastness of the Eternal Land, it may not be possible to complete at all!

Now, through the "Taixu Illusion", I can exchange it for a treasure that can upgrade this contract.

There is no doubt that it greatly reduces time consumption and reveals one more thing.

That is, in the "Taixu Illusion", there is a chance to condense "law items", which can be used to improve some of the "wonderful items" in Bai Yujing's hands!

You know, the number of rare objects controlled by Bai Jade Army is indeed quite large, probably close to a hundred, but half of them are not of high quality.

In particular, some of the newly recruited historical figures have natal rare items that are still of "green or blue quality".

If we can really get "upgraded" through this illusory realm, it will be a good thing for the entire territory and specifically for individuals!

"Yes, it's really good... This is too illusory, it seems that it can be the foundation for the founding of the 'Bai Yujing' nation..."

Xia Tian walked out of the bedroom with satisfaction.

"Sir, you're awake..."

Seeing Qingwen waiting outside the house, she learned from the latter that Xiao Yaochi was still sleeping.

Huang Rong was guarding her.

Xia Tian went to check and found that the latter's breath was stable, and there was a high probability that he would become an "extraordinary creature" when he woke up!

Therefore, I walked out of the city lord's mansion with peace of mind and prepared to take a look at the situation in my territory.

"Good morning, Lord City Lord!"

"Meet the adults!"

"Lord City Lord, your retreat is over!"

In the territory, every resident stopped hurriedly after seeing him and saluted in surprise.

Because it took a lot of time for Xia Tian to enter the "Tai Xu Illusion Realm".

The residents of the territory have not seen him, the city lord, appear for a long time, and in the past few days, many changes have naturally taken place in the territory!

For example, Ba Xia, Taotie, Qi Niu, who make up the Bai Yujing Feng Shui formation... "Nine Sons of the Dragon·Stone Fetus" benefited from absorbing a large amount of spiritual power when the heaven and earth merged half a month ago. Now every stone fetus Almost all of them have grown to a height of eight or nine meters, and the spiritual power provided is enough to support almost 100,000 people practicing at the same time!

It can be said that the demand for spiritual stones has been greatly reduced.

However, the changes in these stone bodies are still inferior to those of the "Houtu Statue".

After defeating the invading catastrophic creatures last time, he obtained a lot of "Silver Beads of Wishes", which were then transformed into "the power of Houtu's faith" through "turning stones into gold".

This has greatly expanded the scope of the "five-color spiritual soil" created. Now this piece of spiritual soil alone is enough to meet the food needs of 500,000 people...

There is even enough area to breed various spiritual plants and medicinal materials...

"Okay, the flour made from this wheat is really good. Miss Qingwen is really good..."

When Xia Tian passed "Lingshan Pavilion", a voice sounded.

This is Wu Dalang, who was appointed as "Director of Pastry Department", developing new pastries.

After being blessed by the second lord and allowing his skills to reach the master level, his accomplishments in making pasta and pastries are still higher than those of a cook.

In particular, Qingwen, who has been promoted to an outstanding figure, has relied on her own talents to cultivate a new "transcendence level" wheat seed in the past few days. After ripening, the grain grown has a certain spirituality. It can be promoted and matched with Wu Dalang's "characteristics" to further meet food needs.

"The Lord is here! Erniu, hurry up and bring some water for the Lord to drink..."

When Xia Tian walked through the area of ​​residential houses that had been destroyed by the "catastrophic creatures" before, an old woman who was repairing military uniforms for the soldiers stood up in a hurry and greeted the man next to her who had a hairpin tied to the sky. The little girl with braided red bellyband!

"Aunt Li, are you still used to living in this new house?"

Xia Tian smiled and took the water from the hand of the girl who stumbled around and shook most of it off, and asked after drinking.

Although it had only been more than ten days since the invasion of the catastrophic creatures and the arrival of the Balrog, the destroyed houses in the territory had been basically repaired, and they were even more beautiful!

Because, unlike the previous battles that consumed luck to "quickly build", Xia Tian arranged for the craftsmen in the territory to repair it themselves.

"Habit, habit... Oops, you actually remember the old woman's name..."

The old woman looked obviously very excited.

After all, there are probably not many people among the 200,000 people in the territory who can be remembered by Xia Tian.

"Aunt Li, you are one of the first elders in Bai Yujing and a relative of Master Lu. Of course I remember..."

The Master Lu that Xia Tian was talking about was the number one carpenter in the territory and the craftsman who made the God Arm Crossbow.

Now, he has become the deputy of the carpentry department!

At this time, Zheng, together with Zhu Youxiao, led the team of craftsmen from the territory to the other side of the river. They were leveling the foundation and seemed to be preparing to build more territory buildings!

Since, it has become a "city".

According to Xia Tian's plan to establish a country, the "royal city" of Bai Yujing alone needs to accommodate at least one million people!

For this reason, all aspects must be prepared and planned in advance...

"Hurry up, dig out all the sand from the river and transport it with keel water trucks... There is also a dam that needs to be cast here. General Yanshi, please come and help..." Zhu Youxiao, acting master of the "Craftsman Hall" The sound sounded on the other side of the river, like the sound of a gong.

"Ho, I got it..."

An angry response.

At the same time, a giant palm made of black rock pressed on the ground.

The next moment, with the stone arm as the center, the ground on the river bank began to become hot. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a ball of red magma. Then the magma surged and gradually condensed into a dam several meters high!

The person who caused all of this was a humanoid creature that was more than ten meters tall and exuded an extraordinary aura, like earth and stone.

【Rock Demon Stone Man (Silver)】

[Level] Extraordinary first level

[Talent] Giving birth to a stone man (injecting your own vitality into a special stone can give birth to a 'stone man')

[Characteristics] Transformation of earth and stone (can transform soil into magma and stone form), Heart of Balrog (fused with the heart of Balrog, able to inherit and use part of Balrog's power)

[Description] A kind of alien species that activates its own potential in the process of fusing with the "Heart of the Balrog"!

Previously, Bai Yujing obtained a silver rare treasure "Heart" after killing the "Fire Demon" who was in the third level of the Transcendent Realm.

Since it would transform into the Balrog after use, after thinking about it, Xia Tian finally gave it to the "alien stone man" who had been recruited into the territory together with Hua Rong.

This will make it easier for him to fulfill his original promise of naming him the "Stone Man General"!

In a sense, this is actually a bit of a waste. After all, the stone man's potential is only at a medium level.

Compared to the superior black and white pheasants, it is inferior to the top-notch golden bees!

The most important thing is that there is only one, unlike the latter two, which both exist in the form of races.

But what surprises Xia Tian is that after fusing with the heart of the Balrog, this alien stone man actually underwent drastic changes.

It’s not just the improvement of strength and cultivation.

Even the rating has been improved, becoming the second one among the current alien creatures in the territory to be rated silver after the Golden Bee Queen, and the first extraordinary alien creature in the territory!

The most important thing is that although the talent he condenses is not very powerful, it has "unlimited potential"!

"Good guy, give me a stone and I can create a race, right?"

The only regret is probably that with his "power of mind" he was not able to fully inherit the power from "The Fire Demon" and could only barely reach the extraordinary level!

However, Xia Tian is still very satisfied.

Not to mention anything else, as long as you help with the construction of fortifications in the territory and battlefield, you can play a big role.

"Sir, you are here..."

Seeing Xia Tian appear, Zhu Youxiao, holding a thick stack of blueprints in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead that was baked by the high temperature of the magma at close range!

"Well, Palace Master Zhu, you're lucky."

Xia Tian looked at this emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The craftsman's clothes he wore were stained with mud. The beard inherited from the Zhu family had not been shaved for a long time, and his hair was messy.

"Sir, I don't want to complain. It's just that the 'Artisan Hall' doesn't have enough manpower. Can you assign a few more people to come here..."

Zhu Youxiao looked a little tired.

As a former ancient emperor, although many troublesome matters were left to Wei Zhongxian to handle, it was more than enough to lead the "Craftsman Palace" originally.

It's just that as the population of Bai Yujing is increasing day by day, especially now it is necessary to carry out large-scale urban expansion.

Even he felt that it was a bit too much.

"I am very happy that your lord has given me the task of designing and building the city. But it is too much for one person... I hope that your lord can find someone to help share the burden..."

Zhu Youxiao said with a wry smile on his face.

Bai Yujing does have a lot of "craftsmen", but if it is necessary to build a city in a short period of time, it is inevitably somewhat inadequate.

the most important is.

Although relying on the selection qualifications of "Star Palace" and the experience inheritance of "Langhuan Jade Mansion" can quickly cultivate craftsmen!

But having qualifications does not mean that you will be able to reach a very high level.

In fact, Eternal Land's judgment on "skills" is quite harsh.

You need to be able to completely create a thing of white quality before you can be considered to have mastered this "skill", and "mastery" level skills are also considered "one in a hundred" in reality!

Among the tens of thousands of craftsmen in Bai Yujing, there are only less than 3,000 at the proficiency level, and less than a hundred at the expert level. When broken down into a certain field, there are even fewer!

In comparison, the proportion of gray dwarves, a race that is naturally able to master the "casting" skill and can reach the "mastery" level after casual training, is much higher.

This is also a place where a top race is very proud and considers itself "superior".

The most important thing is that for those who can be responsible for building this kind of city, it is not enough to be an expert. They must at least start at the master level!

Therefore, if you think about it carefully, Zhu Youxiao's burden is indeed quite heavy.

Because most of Bai Yujing's other similar "departments" have more than one master craftsman!

For example, in the "Lingshan Pavilion", in addition to the master-level cook Ding, there is also Huang Rong, whose cooking skills have reached extraordinary levels.

In the "Medical Hall", in addition to the extraordinary level Hua Tuo, there is also a master-level doctor An Daoquan.

The "Weapons Workshop" originally had the master-level Tang Long and the grandmaster-level Pu Yuan. Now there are two extraordinary skills, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie. They can forge various weapons and have enough manpower. Even the "Weaving Center" In addition to Pan Jinlian, Qingwen also comes to help share the burden from time to time!

"He is the only one who supports the situation, as the Master of the Craftsman Palace".

Although Carpenter Lu is very senior, he is only at the talent level.

Serving as the deputy of the "Carpenter Department" is already relatively difficult, and it is difficult to share the pressure!

"Furthermore, Your Majesty requires that these buildings be built more firmly, even to deal with extraordinary levels of battle damage, and to design a large number of supporting mechanical buildings... If these things are done by one of my subordinates, I am afraid it will take a long time. It takes a long time, and it may not be done well..."

Zhu Youxiao said in embarrassment.

"Well, speaking of skilled craftsmen, and those who are involved in building city design agencies, there really are such existences..."

Xia Tian suddenly thought of something.

"Well, is Mr. Zhuge back?"

"not yet……"

"Oh, Mr. Zhuge has been away for so many days. It seems that he has some clues... If everything goes well, this problem should be solved after he comes back..."

Xia Tian thought of something, with a somewhat mysterious smile on his face.

"Moreover, Palace Master Zhu, don't you like to study the 'Mechanism Technique'? Maybe you will soon welcome a group of colleagues..."

Zhu Youxiao would rather give up his status as an emperor who has special significance in the evaluation of the eternal land and can bring "power" with him, and become a "carpenter".

There is no doubt that it is because of my inner love for this skill!

Especially for "mechanism", I am very interested in it. Whenever I have time, I will tinker with various mechanized chariots, mechanized birds, mechanized fish...

"Sir, are you talking about the force that created the 'White Tiger' last time?"

Zhu You realized something and his face moved. (End of chapter)
