Lord of the Earth

Bai Yujing, the city lord's palace.

The interior area is very large, and it is in a "quiet room" with excellent sound insulation.

Ding Ling, Ding Dong...

There are five floors in total. The black pagoda base is like ink staining, with pagodas engraved with various golden calligraphy on it.

Each layer rotates slowly at different angles and speeds, combining into a clear sound wave that surges in the secret room, driving the "spiritual mist" spit out by the six dragon-head-shaped statues to evolve into a "mountain flowing water" illusory scene.

Xia Tian's figure was sitting cross-legged on a rock in the "waterfall" with his eyes closed.

When the "flowing water" of the waterfall fell on him, it was like touching a high-temperature iron block, becoming scalding hot, even boiling and turning into white mist and steaming!

hold head high!

And in Xia Tian's body, his heart was beating violently.

Following the rhythm of the "Phantom Sound Box", it transformed into several "spiritual dragons" transformed by different techniques, and continuously transported the spiritual energy absorbed from the filled "spiritual spring" to the whole body.

Ang, ang, ang!

As the heart beats increased, the originally cold spiritual energy began to gradually become hotter. The entire person's skin began to gradually change from white to a fiery red form, and the meridians and blood vessels radiated brightly. The light!

hum!

Suddenly, a certain limit seemed to be broken.

The spiritual power in Xia Tian's body spurted out, producing surging flames. The high temperature emitted caused the illusory "waterfall" to turn into white mist and disappear.

"Is this the third level of transcendence, the 'holy fire'?"

It wasn't until Xia Tian opened his eyes that the transparent spiritual flame burning on his body gradually stopped.

After returning from the "Mojia Machine City", Xia Tian entered a state of seclusion and began to attack the three extraordinary realms.

At the extraordinary level, every time you advance to the extraordinary level, your spiritual power will undergo a qualitative change comparable to the fifth level of transformation.

Among them, the extraordinary realm is called "Lingquan Realm".

Upon reaching this state, the original gaseous spiritual power turns into solid spiritual energy, and the spiritual power that can be stored in the body's meridians greatly increases!

The name of the second extraordinary realm is "Immortal Wood Realm". By reaching this realm, the control of spiritual energy is further enhanced, the body has powerful vitality and can heal wounds quickly.

This is also why in the previous battles at the Transcendent level, it was relatively easy to kill at the Transcendent level.

But the Gray Flood Dragon in the second realm of the Extraordinary Realm, despite being seriously injured, still survived in the end!

But now, the third realm reached by Xia Tian is named "Holy Fire Realm".

As the name suggests, the power explodes like a flame. After reaching this state, the offensive ability is greatly enhanced, and various talents and extraordinary skills can truly display their power.

This is also the reason why Bai Qi's fighting power is so extraordinary!

"Spiritual spring, fairy wood, holy fire... It seems that the first five extraordinary realms have some kind of correspondence with the 'Five Elements'. It seems that the 'template' of the earth has been applied..."

After all, the basic rules of the Eternal Land are largely based on the earth and universe, so there are naturally some similarities in the division of realms.

It is worth mentioning that when Xia Tian was deducing to obtain the third-level "Human Emperor Yulong Jing", the will of the earth prompted that the total luck required was "30,000"!

In other words, each level only increases luck by 10,000, rather than doubling each level like "turning stone into gold" as he initially thought.

This is obviously good news.

After all, although Bai Yujing received a lot of luck rewards, he also consumed a lot.

In particular, the function of "refining falsehood into reality" in the Taixu Illusion Realm is a big consumer of luck. In just a few days, Xia Tian consumed more than half a million territory luck on it.

Speaking of which, the ability of this phantom sound treasure box is quite similar to that of Taixu Illusion Realm.

It's just that the "Phantom Sound Box" has specific music, which means that it can only be used by one person at the same time.

Moreover, continuous testing is required to determine which "melody" is more suitable for you, and "Taixu Fantasy" can be entered directly, and the "dream" can be intelligently tailored!

Between the two, the judgment will naturally be drawn.

"The only better thing is that compared to the 'Tai Xu Illusion', this 'Phantom Sound Box' can be used repeatedly and continues to be effective..."

Today, it is not even a month away from the third round of fusion of heaven and earth.

Xia Tian has already broken through two realms in a row and reached the same level of cultivation as a super hero like Bai Qi.

It can be said that all kinds of rare treasures are indispensable for success!

For example, there was a celadon fruit plate in front of him. There were dozens of dragon-shaped fruits about the size of a baby's fist that were blooming with different lights.

It is the Dragon Vein Spirit Fruit.

This is also a piece of information I got from the newly redeemed "Human Emperor's Dragon Control Sutra". Taking spiritual fruits related to the dragon clan and the five elements will be very helpful to your own Kung Fu practice.

"However, this kind of practice is really luxurious and expensive..."

Xia Tian picked up a "Golden Dragon Fruit" and put it into his mouth. It felt cold in the mouth, like mint and left a fragrance on his lips and teeth.

After being eaten, the small piece of fruit turned into a surging spiritual power, flowing from the Dantian along the eight extraordinary meridians and toward the whole body, tempering the internal organs, meridians, and bones one by one... His skin and even hair were dyed with a layer of light gold!

The price of each of these "Dragon Vein Spirit Fruits" is not cheap at the auctions in the market. Tie Shenzhou, Dongfang Bubai, and others are vying to buy them at high prices, willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of Tian Yuan coins. compete.

In his case, it has become a "fruit platter" for his free time in practice. It can be said to be "inhumane"!

However, a single Dragon Vein Five Elements Spirit Fruit is only a spiritual plant at the mortal level. For Xia Tian who has already transcended the third realm, the effect is actually much worse, better than nothing.

Unless the "Five Elements Unify" can evolve into a "Jade White Spirit Fruit" mother plant that has reached an extraordinary level, allowing people to unlock the "Five Elements Power", its value is estimated to be not much worse than the "Colorful Universe Gourd" many!

Unfortunately, so far, Bai Yujing has only collected the four types of "metal, wood, water, and earth".

The remaining "Dragon Vein Water Spirit Fruit" still hasn't appeared...

I don't know whether it was not taken out of the "Imperial Tomb Secret Realm" or whether it has fallen into the hands of foreigners.

Or, the lord who took the thing didn't want his wealth to be exposed and attract others' attention, or he didn't want Bai Yujing to collect a complete set of extraordinary spiritual plants?

Xia Tian is not sure.

"However, except for the gold and fire spirit fruits, the other two spirit fruits were collected at the previous auctions in the market."

"Now, there are only two or three days left before the auction limit of once a month. Perhaps, this time, we can take out all the things that the lords have packed in the bottom of the box..."

You know, it's like the male-dominated territory was just established.

The first month is undoubtedly the time when the conflicts between the parties are the most intense and war is most likely to break out!

Although, most of the human territories that have survived until now have some ability to protect themselves.

However, it is inevitable to encounter a particularly powerful alien race, leading to a stalemate or even a dilemma.

Especially unlike before, this round also has a large number of "historical heroes" like leaders coming, plus some powerful forces from world fragments!

It can be said that the pressure faced by some human territories has not only not decreased, but has actually increased.

In fact, in the past few days, several human lords in the chat channel who had originally had contact with Bai Yujing were conquered by the human forces of the "Sea of ​​Illusion"!

Some people directly lost their qualifications as lords, while others chose to abandon their territories and became affiliated with the heroes of the Illusory Sea.

At the same time, Xia Tian also saw some familiar names.

For example, Lu Bu, Song Jiang, Zhang Jiao, Xiong Ba, etc.

The forces coming "around" Bai Yujing are far more than just Fang La and Xu Fu!

In Xia Tian's mind, a map similar to "Three Kingdoms" could not help but emerge. On it, the famous princes were fighting in the north and south with their troops.

In the end, only one person can be qualified to "unify the continent"!

"However, it is a bit troublesome to invite people to participate in this auction..."

After three fusions, the distance between most of the human territory and Bai Yujing has increased several times. It is probably more difficult to send the token to the original person.

"It seems it's time to test Jin Yiwei..."

Xia Tian groaned in his mouth. At the same time, he is also curious about whether the rights that the lord originally had will be affected after becoming a subordinate of a historical figure.

This will determine Bai Yujing's next development strategy.

Of course, Xia Tian couldn't have any thoughts of becoming someone else's subordinate.

Even thinking about being able to have a true "battle for hegemony" with people like Lu Bu and Zhang Jiao makes me feel a little excited!

However, the scale of this market will definitely become larger and larger in the future. If it is managed by "Hong Fu Nu" alone, it will probably be as short of manpower as the previous "Craftsman Hall".

Maybe it's time to find one or two people to share the pressure.

"Sir, are you out of seclusion?"

Xia Tian walked out of the practice room while thinking.

The first person I saw was A'Zhu, dressed in red and smiling happily, carrying today's meal.

"Well, what happened while I was away?"

"Mr. He came to see you twice and said that the collection of the 'materials' handed over by the Shui Tribe has been completed. Please review it..."

"Let him go to the living room!"

……

"Well, you have achieved extraordinary breakthrough, so congratulations!"

A few minutes later, Xia Tian was slightly surprised.

However, I haven’t seen him for a few days.

He Shen has actually reached the extraordinary level, which is not too slow.

At least, among the non-combatants in the territory, it is considered very fast!

"Thanks to Sir, the speed of my spiritual practice has increased a lot..."

The short and fat Heshen said with a smile on his face.

His talent is "Money can communicate with the gods", and its attribute is that the more money and treasures he can handle and control, the faster his cultivation speed will be, and the higher his cultivation limit will be!

Before summer, arrange for him to "collect money" from those aquatic tribes.

Although, the piles of spiritual stones, rare treasures, and even rare objects handed over by the Shui Tribe were only handed over to him once before they were handed over to the territory's warehouse.

But at least it can provide him with a lot of help, allowing him to successfully advance to the extraordinary level yesterday!

"The 'fines' imposed on those Shui Tribes as ordered by Your Excellency have all been collected, and they even 'deliberately' paid about 30% more... In addition, the 'Tian Yuan Coins' issued to those Shui Tribes who sent troops to participate in the battle in the Guan City were The rewards have also arrived... By the way, after using the Tianyuan coins, the leaders of the Dragon Vein Aquatic Tribe all said they were willing to continue to search for treasures in the waters for you, and please use the Tianyuan coins as a reward..."

He Shen opened the account book and reported to Xia Tian.

"Yes. However, the production of Tianyuan coins requires certain processes and spiritual stones, and the supply in the territory is still insufficient. They can only say that there is a limited quantity, and they only accept some relatively high-value treasures..."

Xia Tian said in his mouth.

"I know! However, Lord City Lord, please forgive He Shen for having the guts to say that it is time to cancel the daily spiritual stone training subsidy for those who have broken through the transformation, and change it to a one-time subsidy using Tianyuan coins..."

He Shen nodded, then hesitated slightly and spoke again.

In Bai Yujing, once you break through the transformation level, you can get a daily spiritual stone subsidy.

The purpose is to encourage people to practice and improve their cultivation.

But now, this measure seems to be a bit of a drag.

The main reason is the number of people who have developed "spiritual power" and reached the level of transformation. Now the number has become larger and larger, close to 50,000 people, occupying a quarter of the population!

You know, according to the subsidy standard, one for the first level of transformation, two for the second level, three for the third level...

Nowadays, more than 100,000 spirit stones are consumed every day. Even if Bai Yujing discovers several new spirit stone veins, some of them are really unaffordable.

Moreover, thanks to the fusion of heaven and earth, the growth of the Nine Sons of the Dragon Stone Statue can now directly supply the daily practice needs of those below the fifth level of mortal transformation.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to cut down on this part of the expenditure!

After all, expanding the city and preparing various ordnances all cost money!

Even though Bai Yujing, strictly speaking, is still in the stage of "eating from the big pot" and does not need to consider the direct labor costs, the consumption of various resources is still huge!

However, more detailed steps are needed to advance this matter.

Now that Zhuge Liang has returned from the Mojia City, he should let him have a headache first!

"I can trust Mr. He's ability. But you must also know that I will inevitably have some doubts in my heart..."

After Xia Tian put down the account book, he looked at He Shen, who looked slightly disappointed, and said after thinking for a while.

The other party did this very well.

Moreover, it seems that he has indeed restrained his "greedy" desires so far. Naturally, he can no longer give others a cold face.

But it must be said that after acknowledging the change in the other party's temperament, there is still some hesitation in letting him directly assume the important position of the territory.

"He naturally understands what the Lord of the City means. It is a great blessing that people like He can have a place to live and settle down in this eternal land, so we shouldn't force it too much..."

"It's just that in Bai Yujing, everyone moves forward bravely, seizing the day and night, fearing to fall behind others."

"Although He is not very qualified to be recognized by the city lord, he still wants to have the opportunity to contribute to the territory and does not want to waste his time like in his previous life!"

He Shen's expression was a little anxious, and his tone was sincere.

In fact, this is what he really thinks.

As a veteran in officialdom, He Shen knows very well where a person's rights come from.

Even if he has too many problems, as long as City Lord Xia Tian nods.

Naturally, no one will say anything else.

Just like in the previous life, because of his monopoly on power, he encountered criticism from all parties, and the memorials to impeach him were like snowflakes.

However, as long as the person above does not nod, he will never be in danger!

The old man who was known as the "Ten Perfect Martial Arts" had been the emperor for sixty years, and he had been proud of himself for half his life.

But in the end, there will still be a day of death.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was tortured all day long and was forced to cut himself off with a piece of white silk, and his house was confiscated!

But this eternal place is very different from the original Qing Dynasty.

Because the higher the level of cultivation in this world, the longer the life span. In theory, it is entirely possible to live forever.

Xia Tian is not only the city lord, his cultivation qualifications are higher than those of super heroes like Zhuge Liang and Bai Qi, and his ability to control the territory is also stronger than that one!

This means that you only need to remain loyal to it.

Then, there is no need to worry about ending up like the previous life! (End of chapter)
