Lord of the Earth

Human race, Longyuan territory.

In the "fishing ground", a rare object-level building.

Wearing silk underwear and a yellow mantle, which symbolized wealth and status in ancient times, He Shen was crossing his legs while drinking steaming spiritual tea.

While rolling up his sleeves, holding a pole hung with thousand-year-old snow spider silk, he dropped it into the water...

Wow!

Suddenly, the water surface shook and rippled slightly.

After He Shen jerked the pole, a string of hundreds of huge colorful pearls were hung on it, each one the size of a thumb, exuding a dazzling glow of spiritual power.

"Well, one hundred and eight colorful pearls, not bad. This is one of the core materials of the 'Dingyan Pill' that the Lord ordered. The total value is about one thousand and eighty spiritual stones..."

With a flash of light, it was put into a silver gourd of heaven and earth next to it.

He Shen threw his pole into the water again.

A few breaths later, another pair of gold bracelets was caught, engraved with three hundred and sixty runes!

"The Forbidden Spirit Bracelet is a top-notch spiritual weapon that can seal spiritual power... It's worth about two hundred spirit stones..."

After putting it into the gourd, throw the pole into the water again.

This time, I caught a super dagger that looked rusty on the surface, but as soon as the spiritual power was activated, the entire sword body glowed with brilliance, exuding a sharpness that was enough to cut through gold and jade!

"A incomplete extraordinary spiritual weapon? The value..."

He Shen kept throwing the pole while mumbling words, and hoisted various rare treasures...

Could it be said that he is a rare fishing rod with the ability to "fish all over the world"?

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared in the lake.

A black, huge, catfish-like head emerged from it. It was an aquatic creature that exuded an extraordinary aura!

However, after surfacing, this extraordinary level aquatic creature did not show any anger.

Instead, after a burst of light distortion, it turned into a humanoid form like a big-headed doll. With a flattering smile on his face, he said to He Shen.

"Master He, this is the material handed over by our Longniu clan. Please take the trouble to count it and record it and report it to the commander..."

"Well, the supplies you handed over can be converted into 7,500 spirit crystals... We are still about 2,500 short of the 10,000 spirit stones ordered by the Lord..."

He Shen crossed his legs, held the tea bowl next to him, blew a breath of hot air and said!

"What, so many things can be deducted from 7,500 spirit stones? Did you make a mistake..."

The semi-humanoid aquarium catfish, with its big eyes widened and a string of bubbles spitting out from its mouth, said anxiously!

Last time, due to the huge losses of the Jiaolong clan, some of the aquatic creatures rebelled under the leadership of their leader.

As a result, they were all suppressed by Xia Tian, ​​who became the "Dragon Clan Soldier Commander"!

However, Xia Tian did not kill them all.

It is an order, so the race must hand over certain temporary resources within the specified time for "forgiveness"!

The person responsible for this matter is He Shen.

Because, as one of the outstanding people who was responsible for the business affairs of "Fangshi" before.

He Shen's "value judgment" on various materials is second to none in Bai Yujing except Xia Tian who has the "eye of insight"!

However, many aquarists are complaining that this artificial judgment seems to be somewhat "untrue"?

Because they clearly have many things that they think are of high value, but the other party gives them a very low evaluation.

So much so that it might have only taken ten days to hand over the 10,000 spirit crystals stipulated by Xia Tian, ​​but now it took more than half a month, and there was still a long way to go...

"Hmph! He and someone valued it based on the actual price. I have a pair of fiery eyes, and I am innocent... The value of your things is indeed not very high. I have already overestimated it... You still Think about it, have you forgotten something... After all, there is only one day left before the deadline set by the adults..."

He Shen swallowed the tea and wiped his mouth with a "sensible" expression.

"How could it not be enough? It should be enough... This... I know. It turns out that I forgot about this..."

With some pain, the big-headed catfish spit out a "night pearl" that exuded strong spiritual power and flew onto He Shen's table.

"The orb transformed from the Mermaid's Tears is a rare treasure of extraordinary level. If taken, it can remove various soul-type 'curses' and nourish the mind... Well, it can be counted as two thousand spiritual crystals... As for what is still missing? Five hundred each, forget it, I’ll erase it for you..."

He Shen took the night pearl, weighed it in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction on his face.

Immediately, I started recording it in a nearby booklet!

His talent "Money can communicate with the gods" allows him to rely on the "money and treasures" at his disposal to gain cultivation bonuses. The more possessions he has at his disposal, the faster his cultivation speed and the higher his cultivation limit... This kind of extraordinary treasure can greatly increase your cultivation...

"Lord City Lord, Lord Bai, Mr. Wen..."

At this moment, a soldier's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

He Shen was so frightened that the hand that had just received the "Tears of the Merman" trembled violently and almost fell to the ground!

"Ah, Master Commander..."

The big-headed catfish spirit that had transformed into a human form couldn't help but widen its eyes as it stared at the serious figure of Xia Tian, ​​who was wearing a cloud-patterned dragon robe!

"Well, this is..."

As the person in charge of the Longyuan Territory, Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but frown as he looked at the "Shark Tears" falling on the ground.

After Heshen came to Longyuan Territory, he and Wen Tianxiang, who was the general person in charge, still had close interactions with each other.

Wen Tianxiang fully recognized this outstanding figure of later generations who not only possessed outstanding military power, but also had considerable insights in literature, politics, and even military affairs.

At the same time, there was some surprise as to why such a capable person was actually "assigned" to Longyuan Territory by Xia Tian to be responsible for the work of collecting accounts?

However, now I seem to understand.

"Go to the Crystal Palace and call Camp Leader Zhao Yun and Yin Lin!"

With a straight face, Xia Tian first said to this extraordinary level "catfish spirit".

"It's...the commander of the army..."

The latter's body turned red as if it had been boiled in water, and he hurriedly dived into the water!

"Sir, according to your instructions, the 'levy' of these water tribes has been recorded in the account book... Please take a look..."

But as soon as the other party left, He Shen's sweaty forehead suddenly regained his composure.

Then he opened a ledger with a serious face and handed it to Xia Tian's hand.

The "Tears of the Merman" was clearly recorded above, and the total estimated value had already reached more than 10,000 yuan.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, and the boss..."

Xia Tian nodded towards He Shen.

Speaking of which, Xia Tian has always been hesitant about how to place He Shen.

Originally, he had been put in charge of some affairs of "Fangshi".

But after the fusion of heaven and earth, the commercial channels with the territory were interrupted, and now there are not many things to deal with in Fangshi!

So there was nothing to do all of a sudden.

Until the "Water Tribe" is subdued, a person is needed to "collect accounts."

Xia Tian only thought of this "golden hero" who could be said to have the least presence in the territory. Objectively speaking, He Shen is a real talent.

In a sense, its own ability is still superior to that of Li Ru, who was also thrown directly into the eternal land by the will of the earth!

But again, its problems are more serious than Li Ru's.

After all, this is really the first time that Xia Tian has seen a "greedy person (extremely greedy for money and power, capable of exceeding the limit of ability for the sake of money and power)". This kind of person can be regarded as a negative evaluation in a sense. characteristic.

Of course, from a human perspective, this is understandable.

Because, seriously speaking, most of the other outstanding people in the territory chose to accept the invitation from the human race territory because of their emphasis on "power" and their own future, rather than following the old club in history.

The reason is also because there is a lack of talents in the human territory. The earlier you enter, the more qualified you will be for high-level positions!

Therefore, in fact, all people cannot avoid "greed".

Therefore, Xia Tian finally faced He Shen squarely.

He even placed the important task of "collecting money" in his hands.

First, this can trigger the opponent's talent and increase the efficiency of practice.

Moreover, He Shen's own "official business" characteristics (the ability to gain "favorability" from other people in the process of dealing with foreigners and making transactions) can be said to be the best person to do this kind of thing.

Secondly, it is also a "test" given to Heshen by Xia Tian!

If this time, he can really control his "hands" and not enrich himself at will!

So, it shows that the degree of greed for "power" is still higher than "money", and Xia Tian doesn't mind giving him more "power" and no longer let him take the position. In theory, a blue talent can do it. "Master"!

Of course, now Xia Tian actually has a better way to see clearly the heart of the "most corrupt official in history", which is to let He Shen enter the "Taixu Illusion Realm" and see if he has really changed deep down in his heart?

"grown ups……"

"The commander of the army!"

Soon an "Ice Staircase" appeared on the surface of the water, and Zhao Yun, a tall man wearing a white robe and silver armor, walked out of it.

Beside him was a silver-scaled dragon girl who had transformed into a semi-human form.

In addition, there is a middle-aged and elderly "half-dragon" who has also taken the form of a human and looks about fifty years old!

"Sir, this is the 'account book' of the treasures handed over by the Shui Tribe during these days..."

After the silver-scaled dragon girl came ashore.

First, he took out a "shell" with a lot of writing on it.

It was obvious that as the "first wise man of the Dragon Tribe", Xia Tian arranged for the person to lead the affairs of the Shui Tribe.

She has learned some things from the extraordinary catfish, so she also handed over the "account book" recorded by her side for Xia Tian to check!

"You are attentive..."

Xia Tian put away this piece and exuded spiritual power fluctuations.

The shells, which could be used as materials for refining weapons, were not directly compared with the account books given by He Shen, but he said noncommittally.

"Hui Jiao, do you want to see me?"

Then, he looked at the "Dragon Man" with gray scales!

"'Huijiao' of the Dragon Clan has seen the master of the army... He is willing to go through fire and water for our Dragon Clan, and he will never give up..."

The latter crawled down towards Xia Tian, ​​and on his somewhat ferocious-looking head, what flashed across a pair of dragon-like orange vertical pupils was "respect, excitement, and loyalty."

When this gray dragon participated in the "Hundred Years' Duel", it was "seriously injured" by Jiang Wei who activated the power of the "Kilin Armor". He barely managed to survive with the powerful vitality of the Second Transcendent Realm and the body of the Dragon Clan.

Later, he was temporarily imprisoned in the "Tiger Prison". It was not until Xia Tian became the "Dragon Clan's Armsmaster" that he was released. After treating his injuries, he returned to the Silver Scale Dragon's command!

"My subordinate was blind before and really didn't know the noble status of the Commander-in-Chief. He committed a crime of shocking disrespect... Please punish the Commander-in-Chief, otherwise Huijiao will have trouble sleeping and eating..."

Hui Jiao said with an annoyed voice and a very serious expression.

Xia Tian feels a little funny.

Among humans, this gray "dragon" should belong to the kind of "old antique" that strongly upholds tradition.

In the past, when Xia Tian was a "human being", he looked down upon him in various ways, but now he is the most pious towards him as the "Dragon Clan Soldier Commander"!

Respectful before and after.

But both of these attitudes come from the heart.

"Then it depends on you, whether you can get away with it and make meritorious service! I need your help for something today. Each of you will bring a hundred soldiers and follow me..."

Xia Tian said to the two dragons and the bubbling "catfish spirit". The latter turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun with a frown on his face!

"How evolved are those black and white pheasants?"

"Returning to your lord, a total of one thousand black and white pheasants have all achieved seven or more transformations. Among them, about two hundred have transformed eight times, and about fifty have transformed into the ninth level of mortals... However, none of them have been promoted to the extraordinary level yet. The dragon!"

The aura on Zhao Yun's body is very powerful, and he has actually entered the "Second Extraordinary Realm".

In terms of cultivation, it is almost the same as Xia Tian!

This is because he is turning into a "real dragon" with the help of the "gentian silver spear", although he cannot open the "Dragon Treasure House" like Xia Tian!

But unexpectedly discovered that it can also absorb the power in the "Dragon Breeding Pond".

Therefore, in just half a month, just like in the summer, I have "broken" two realms in a row, which can be said to be an unexpected surprise!

However, the cultivation of "Yunjiao Guard" was not as smooth as Xia Tian imagined.

Although with the help of the "Dragon Clan Soldier Pool", all the black and white pheasants have grown to a new stage.

However, there is not even one person who breaks through the extraordinary and becomes a dragon!

"It should be because the black and white pheasant's own 'mental power' is too poor..."

Zhao Yun analyzed and said.

As a heterogeneous species with superior potential, the black and white pheasant is excellent in all aspects.

Especially the growth rate can be said to be extremely extraordinary. With sufficient food, it can grow into an "adult" in just one month.

Moreover, it is a hermaphrodite, capable of self-reproduction, and can produce more than ten babies in one litter!

The only shortcomings are his cruel temperament and extremely low intelligence.

If it had not been "artificially domesticated" since childhood, it would have been completely out of control.

In addition, an adult black and white pheasant can eat ten times more than a human of the same level, and these only eat meat!

Because of this, even Bai Yujing has begun to consciously control the reproduction of black and white pheasants, and only a thousand of them have been cultivated in the "soldier pool" these days.

Of course, a thousand alien creatures of the seventh level or above are still of dragon blood. Even five thousand golden fire cavalry may not be able to win!

And before, perhaps there really was no way to solve the problem of these "black and white pheasants" being difficult to advance to transcendence.

But now, it's not a big problem.

After all, the Taixu Illusion Realm specializes in strengthening the mind!

"Taixu Illusion?"

Zhao Yun had some curiosity on his face.

"Well, this is a newly opened 'secret realm' in the territory. After returning to Bai Yujing, General Zhao Yun can also enter it and explore it. I believe there will be very good gains..."

"However, the top priority is to go to the nearby Mojia machine city to rescue Tang Jieyuan. At the same time, at least some human forces must be taught a lesson..."

Xia Tian said in his mouth.

The Mohist government city and Baiyujing are eight hundred miles apart.

It is undoubtedly difficult to send troops for reinforcements.

But it is only less than two hundred miles away from Longyuan territory! (End of chapter)
