First Lord of Earth

Early morning, territory.

In the school grounds, two figures holding knives were fighting fiercely.

Ding, ding, ding...

One person is holding a golden-quality Xiuchun knife, which is long and flexible, while the other person is using a black sword from the purple mortal scorpion man. The blade is thick but sharp!

After the two knives collided with each other dozens of times.

With a "clang" sound, Xiuchundao was lifted high into the sky by the black sword and flew dozens of meters!

Then, the user of the black sword turned his blade and struck hard on the silver flying fish suit Shen Lian was wearing.

Thumb, thump, thump...

The black sword was so powerful that Shen Lian could not control his body and flew backwards for a distance. After landing, he took seven or eight steps back to relieve his strength.

After he stood firm on the edge wall of the school field, he lifted up the two loaded divine arm crossbows with both hands and fired at Ding Xiu who was wielding a black sword on the opposite side.

Ding Xiu did not dodge, he raised his hand and inserted the black sword into the ground.

The next moment, the pupils of both eyes turned golden. A pair of arms were raised to protect his chest and forehead. With the fierce exertion, the muscles on his arms bulged one by one, and suddenly turned into a color like gold!

Ding, ding!

The two arrows were blocked by Ding Xiu's accurate judgment. After hitting the golden arm, they made the sound of gold and iron clashing. Apart from scratching his clothes, no real damage was done.

"Okay, stop."

Xia Tian's voice came from the side.

"It seems that you have almost mastered the characteristics of golden dragon blood..."

Xia Tian looked at Ding Xiu.

After some grooming, Ding Xiu changed his slovenly image caused by surviving in the wild for the past seven days. Although he could not be said to be very handsome in appearance, he was tall and strong, and even the scar on his face from the battle with the Jin Man showed through. How heroic!

And its attributes have also changed due to the addition of territory.

[Ding Xiu (blue)]

[Level] First level of metamorphosis

[Characteristics] Top swordsman, golden dragon blood (greatly enhances vision, strength, defense, negative resistance)

[Skills] Qi Family Sword Technique (Grandmaster)

[Explanation] He was originally a wandering swordsman who was reborn after receiving the help of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo and joining the territory.

It has to be said that the golden dragon is worthy of being the overlord-level creature in Western legends.

After being "replaced with marrow and blood" by Hua Tuo, after a night of cultivation, Ding Xiu has now directly entered the "first level of transformation" from the original ninth-level human body limit.

Moreover, in the actual combat test with Shen Lian just now, the "Golden Dragon Blood" showed strength that far exceeded the general characteristics.

Not only has Ding Xiu's own strength been greatly improved, but he has also become immune to many negative attributes, including toxins. If he were to fight the purple scorpion again now, the opponent's tail needle might not necessarily be able to penetrate his muscles, even if If it is penetrated, the toxin will be quickly resolved by the golden dragon blood!

"However, all of your current metamorphosis-level powers are obtained by relying on the golden dragon's blood.

"If you want to go further, you need to practice the techniques of transformation to the mortal level. There are certain techniques of transformation to the mortal level in the territory, and one of them can be said to be very suitable for you!"

Xia Tian said to Ding Xiu.

"But, I can't just give it to you right now."

"The reason why you were able to obtain the 'Golden Dragon Blood' and 'Golden Dragon Marrow Grass' and enter the Mortal Level is because you made an escort agreement with Mr. Hua Tuo, and I repaid it on his behalf. Now, although you have joined the territory, you have not yet established a "Xia Cun Gong..."

When Xia Tian was thinking about the development of the territory yesterday, he also decided to start implementing the "merit" system.

Mortal level skills can be given at will, but mortal level skills require certain "merits".

First of all, "Dharma should not be taught lightly." The harder it is to get it, the more you know how to cherish it.

Secondly, there are not many spirit stones in Xia Tian's hands, and for the time being, they cannot support too many people to practice at the transformation level at the same time.

"Ding Xiu understands!"

Regarding this, Ding Xiu didn't have any dissatisfaction on his face.

After all, there is no reward for no merit, and being able to obtain golden dragon blood is already beyond the scope of the "increased money" originally discussed with Hua Tuo!

If you want to obtain the skills, you have to fight on the battlefield yourself.

…

"The next step is to expand the territory."

After testing Ding Xiu's strength, Xia Tian started to do the business scheduled for today - repairing the house.

His initial plan was to take out the drawings and let the residents of Qingfeng Village use the materials according to the drawings and build them by referring to the houses that had already been built.

But then, a problem was discovered.

Qingfeng Village is a military village, and half of its personnel belong to military households.

The advantage is that it provides a large amount of force to the territory, but the disadvantage is that the quantity and quality of personnel who can engage in logistics are seriously insufficient. Among the five to six hundred people who have mastered the "skilled" level house building skills, there are only two who can serve as "architects" .

Moreover, because both of them have only mastered the lowest skills, even if they are asked to learn the "residential house" drawings, the houses they make by themselves will not be of green quality!

As for the houses built by residents without relevant skills, even under the guidance of two "architects", most of them are only of "inferior quality". There is a big gap between the blue quality houses that restore physical strength and energy.

"It seems that I was a little optimistic at the beginning!"

"The territory's current reserve of logistics and technical personnel is indeed almost enough for daily life, but there is still a big gap to support the territory's rapid expansion."

Xia Tian shook his head.

"Unfortunately, the 'Midas into Gold' cannot be used directly on life. It would be nice to be able to increase the skill level of the subjects with just one click."

Then, there were some greedy fantasies.

Of course, this is just a fantasy. In a sense, good technicians are even more rare than combatants.

Xia Tian feels that unless there are some special talents or rare objects and buildings, most of the territories will be restricted by this and it will be difficult to expand quickly.

Fortunately, after recruiting Hua Tuo, he directly received 10,000 points of luck. It can be said that he is now "rich", so Xia Tian spent "2,000 points" of luck to quickly build fifty sets of residential houses, fulfilling the promise he once made. The promise of "living in good houses" for the refugees who come to the territory!

Of course, the consumption of luck is actually only a small part, and the real consumption is the three major resources.

A set of blue-quality residential houses requires fifty parts each of "metal, wood, and stone", which means a total of 7,500 basic resources are consumed. In addition to the more than two thousand resources traded last night, there are also Eliminating the entire share of the "designated basic resources" that he had retained after the territory was upgraded.

Before owning Fangshi, Xia Tian would never exhaust all the "life-saving" resources at this critical time.

This is no problem now, after all, the market does not restrict the trading of resources.

Moreover, the ancients said, "Those who have perseverance have perseverance."

It is obvious that when Xia Tian asked them to build the house, the people from Qingfeng Village were very excited, and everyone worked hard and scrambled to be the first!

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

"The most kind-hearted person I, Wu Laojiu, have ever met in my life is you, sir. You will definitely live a long life!

"What are you talking about? Your Excellency is a living god. Among them is longevity. He should live as long as heaven and as long as earth!"

Some of the residents of Qingfeng Village even burst into tears on the spot out of gratitude.

[The ‘popular support’ attribute of the residents in your territory increases, and the luck of the territory increases by 500. 】

Although you don’t get an extra treasure box like you did when building a house for the first time, 500 points of luck are still a huge benefit!

However, not everything is smooth sailing.

"grown ups!"

Just when the houses were completely repaired in the summer, the "Black and White Pheasant Fishing Team" led by Wu Song came back.

Different from the abundant harvests in the previous two days, the fish brought back this time were relatively small, and even the black and white pheasant that had just grown its claws was injured again.

It turned out that there were many more monsters in the expanded river, including many water monsters at the mortal level.

Even though the black and white pheasant was about to reach the ninth level now, not long after entering the river, he was caught by a tentacle of a metamorphosis creature that looked like an octopus and dragged into the river!

If Wu Song hadn't been so powerful, the blue-quality rare item "Holy Fire Ring" worn on his arm would have been even more powerful.

With one punch, almost half of the body of the mortal octopus was roasted. This unlucky black and white pheasant was probably doomed.

However, when faced with the injured and escaping metamorphosis-level octopus, Wu Song did not choose to pursue it.

Because he sensed some special sights in the river, as if he was being spied on, he decisively chose to lead his team back to the territory.

"Are they fish-men, Janna, shrimp soldiers, crab generals, or other intelligent aquatic creatures?"

Xia Tian has some guesses in his heart.

Wu Song's retreat was very correct. After all, the water area was not the dominant territory of humans.

However, the inability to continue fishing to obtain aquatic products is obviously a very serious problem.

Combatants like those in the trapped camp who need to consume a lot of meat every day to improve their physique cannot stop it casually.

Moreover, some residents who are responsible for felling trees, mining, and quarrying also need to consume a large amount of meat every day. Although they can obtain food through "market" transactions, the high transmission costs are destined to not last long.

"The basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation can be said to have been solved for the time being."

"There is no need to consider business issues for the time being, except for food. A mature territory must be self-sufficient!"

Xia Tian's eyes turned and fell on the "Yin Gathering Place" shrouded in black mist not far from the territory.

To be more precise, they were the "bones" left on the ground by the thousands of undead bones of various animal forms that had been left on the ground after they had walked out of the Gathering Yin Land!

When Xia Tian looked at the "Yin Gathering Place User's Manual" before, he was a little repelled in his heart.

Because he really doesn't have much idea about creating undead creatures.

But when he turned over a page in the book, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Because, on that page of the book, there is a usage method called "bone fertilizer" recorded.

As the name suggests, these bones from the Land of the Dead are used as fertilizer to help cultivate the land.

The specific method is to expose these bones to the sun to remove the accumulated yin energy, then burn them with flames and then turn them into ashes and scatter them into the soil to form very fertile "spiritual fields".

Yes, Lingtian.

Because these bone undead were originally products of higher-level planes. After arriving in the Eternal Land, they were suppressed by various means and were easily killed by the territory!

But after all, they come from a plane that originally had high-level energy. These bones contain a certain amount of spiritual power. The "bone fertilizer" made after burning is far more effective than other fertilizers!

In the morning of Xia Tian, ​​people were arranged to try manufacturing, and at this time, a small piece of the finished product had been produced.

[Spiritual soil (white)]

[Level] Metamorphosis

[Characteristics] Fast-growing (plants planted in it grow faster, up to twice as fast)

[Explanation] The soil made from the bone meal of the undead, which symbolizes death, can grow most of the living plants in the Eternal Land.

"nice one!"

Although it is only rated as a white quality, summer's eyes light up.

You must know that the "Sun Gold Vase" is indeed very effective in cultivating plants, and the plants planted can ripen in the blink of an eye.

But after all, it is just a rare item of green quality. The reason why it can exert an effect far beyond that of strange items of the same quality is because it contains a full bottle of "liquid gold"!

But it is only a palm-sized bottle. With continuous use, less than half of the bottle has been consumed, and relatively little can be replenished by absorbing sunlight every day.

Under such circumstances, this kind of spiritual soil that also has the ability to accelerate growth is undoubtedly very important.

As for just the white quality, it's not an issue at all.

"Midas into gold" cannot strengthen the plants planted on the soil, but it can directly strengthen the soil material. As long as you have enough luck to create a pile of golden "spiritual soil", it will not be a problem.

In fact, when Xia Tian grabbed a handful of soil and spent "50" points of luck to strengthen it to the highest level.

[Spiritual soil (gold)]

[Level] Metamorphosis

[Features] Succession between life and death (the growth rate of plants planted in it is greatly increased, up to ten times. And dead plants will quickly turn into spiritual soil nutrients to supply living plants)

[Description] Soil made from the bone powder of the undead that symbolizes death.

As expected of golden quality, even the names of the "characteristics" have been changed.

"In this case, whether it is used to grow food crops or to grow the medicinal materials needed for the extraordinary medicine brought by Hua Tuo, it can provide great protection for the territory."

After seeing the strengthening results, Xia Tian suddenly expressed joy.

Not only did people burn the remaining bones and turn them into "bone fat", but they even put all the bones of centaurs, werewolves and other creatures left behind after being eaten by black and white pheasants into Juyin. On the edge of the land, let it be invaded by black mist.

Wait until some time has passed before taking it out to dry in the sun and compost.

"Well, speaking of drug cultivation... it's time to do another thing."

After completing the preparation of planting fertilizer, summer begins with another important thing today!

"Mr. Hua Tuo, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, sir. With Lao Chan's abilities, there is a high degree of success in refining the 'Elixir of Mortal Transformation', so I won't miss it."

Hua Tuo gently stroked his beard with his hand, smiling broadly.

As a master in all fields of Chinese medicine and the famous inventor of Ma Fei Powder, it is not very difficult for him to make medicine.

Yes, another thing that Xia Tian has to do is to let Hua Tuo refine a furnace of "Elixir of Mortal Transformation".

Compared to the "Golden Dragon Marrow Grass", a resource that only allows people to obtain "transformation characteristics", Xia Tian actually attaches much more importance to the "transformation treasure"!

Because this is an item that can allow people to directly reach the first level of transformation at the ninth level limit, and also improve the user's "cultivation qualifications".

At present, most of the earth lords are also at this stage. For the sake of their future development, they will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy one. Coupled with the reputation of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo, it is definitely better than the "Golden Dragon Marrow Grass". , fragrant white lotus seeds, and golden royal jelly are more powerful flagship products.

The only problem is that the "Elixir of Mortal Transformation" is a gold-quality item. The strong aura emitted during its refining process is enough to cause monsters in a large area around it to go crazy, and it is likely to trigger a major catastrophe similar to a "monster siege". scene!

Of course, this problem is actually not difficult to solve.

For example, Xia Tian can let Hua Tuo choose a room that is sealed enough to "refine medicine"!

In that case, the smell of the transformation treasure medicine would not spread too widely, and the number of monsters that would be attracted would be relatively limited.

"But, in that case, wouldn't it be a wasted opportunity?"

Xia Tian shook his head, his eyes flashing.

The elixir of transformation will indeed attract vicious beasts, but it is not entirely a bad thing.

According to the previous experience in the secret realm, most of the people who can be attracted by the "Elixir of Transformation" are ferocious beasts with the bloodline of monsters and monsters, who can have the opportunity to make further breakthroughs!

Although these ferocious beasts are powerful, they also have extremely high "utilization" value.

For example, the former purple tiger and silver jade demon bear could be said to be treasures from skin to flesh to bones, which provided a lot of help for the development of their territories.

"And when it is temporarily impossible to obtain meat through fishing, these 'vicious beasts' are undoubtedly the best source of food."

"So, not only can Hua Tuo not be allowed to enter the 'secret room' to refine the medicine, he even has to go out of his way to make a big show of it, refine the medicine in the limelight, and try to attract some ferocious beasts to the territory!"

There was a bit of excitement on Xia Tian's face.

Of course, would doing so lead to a real loss of territory?

Xia Tian feels that the possibility is unlikely.

Most of the beasts that are attracted should be mortal-level ferocious beasts. With the divine arm crossbow, bed crossbow, and the Thunderbolt Chariot, which are mortal-level killers, the territory does not need to be too fearful.

Secondly, even some ferocious beasts at the metamorphosis level were attracted, and the territory also had a "protective shield" for protection.

You must know that he now has tens of thousands of luck points in his hands and is rich. Even if the shield needs to consume luck to resist the mortal attack, he can still keep it open for a long time!

After cleaning up the mortal-level monsters, if those mortal-level ferocious beasts still don't leave, hehe... the mortal-level meat can have an effect close to that of spiritual stones in helping one's cultivation.

Of course, there was another important reason why Xia Tian decided to choose "public refining of medicine".

The refining of the elixir of transformation requires the vitality of the five elements of the medicine as a guide. Searching and capturing them one by one is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also difficult to guarantee that they can be subdued to obtain "vital blood". If all the wild monsters around the territory are If you bring them here, you can naturally choose at will!
