First Lord of Earth

The lord's mansion!

In the quiet bedroom, Xia Tian's figure was sitting cross-legged on the "Linglong Stone Bed" with his heart raised to the sky.

Eyes closed, mind focused.

A scroll of ink jade and a "war map of mountains and rivers" with jade white clouds and dragon patterns spread out and floated in front of him, with colorful ink-style patterns flowing one after another.

A large amount of pure spiritual power pours out from the scroll like morning mist, like the early spring sunshine blending into the body of summer, gathering along the seven meridians and eight meridians.

Finally, the Dantian was injected, forming a pool of spiritual power!

And a nine-inch-sized spiritual dragon that was condensed by spiritual power, like a living creature, greedily devoured every spiritual power that entered Xia Tian's body.

Continuously, strengthen yourself.

"hold head high!"

Suddenly, the spirit dragon looked up to the sky and roared, the sound shaking the surrounding areas. Its figure instantly exceeded the length of one foot, and it became more solid from the original illusion.

The majestic dragon roar seemed to have magical power, shaking Xia Tian's whole body. From the pores of the skin to the flesh and bone marrow, everything was undergoing rapid transformation. A large number of impurities were expelled, forming black dirt and black dirt on the body surface. On the contrary, every inch of the skin seemed to be washed by the delicate spring rain and became as white as jade.

"Finally, I have broken through to the sixth level of mortal transformation."

Xia Tian opened his eyes, his eyes revealed a clear light, and his face showed the exhaustion of hard training and the joy of finally breaking through.

"This should be the legendary 'cutting the bones and washing the marrow'..."

Gently clenching his fists, feeling the surging spiritual power flowing through his body, Xia Tian said softly.

There is a saying in the Han Dynasty "Dongfang Shuo Zhuan": "But I swallowed my breath and washed my bones and marrow once every three thousand years. There is a blue light in my eyes, and I can see hidden things!"

If "strength" is used as an indicator of physical attributes, Xia Tian's body now has a "huge strength" of six thousand kilograms.

Doesn't it sound too high?

But you must know that this is just the most basic power. In fact, combined with secret techniques and "spiritual skills", it is enough to explode more than ten times the lethality in battle.

"Especially since every time I break through, my soul and body are both strengthened. Although I have just completed six transformations, my overall combat power should not be much weaker than those who have undergone seven transformations of a single attribute!"

The soul and the body, although one is based on the body and the other is based on the soul, are essentially two in one. Therefore, if the soul is strong, the body can exert greater power, and a strong body can also help nourish the soul.

In addition, after the fifth level of transformation, each breakthrough can increase one's 'life span'.

Summer is also after a breakthrough.

Only then did I realize that there is a lifespan limit for the creatures in the "Eternal Land".

Moreover, this is one of the rules of heaven and earth!

"Without taking resources to increase lifespan, the upper limit of lifespan for ordinary humans will be one hundred years, and I can live to at least one hundred and twenty years."

Although it seems that there is not much increase, in a sense, this change has indeed entered the category of "practitioner" in the novel.

"However, the difficulty of going further after the fifth level has indeed increased significantly... From five transformations to six transformations, it actually took me half a month even with my qualifications!"

Xia Tian shook his head, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression on his face.

Now, seven days have passed since the decisive battle with the mountain ghost.

During these seven days, Xia Tian would spend a lot of time practicing and tempering his body every day without interruption.

You know, he has the qualifications to improve with the "Elixir of Mortal Transformation", the additional talent bonus of "Cultivation Genius", plus the territory's "Better Luck"... as well as "Linglong Baoyu, Fragrant White Lotus Seeds" and other heavenly and earthly treasures. Auxiliary...

Under such circumstances, it still took half a month to complete the sixth transformation, although it was because tempering the body and soul at the same time was more time-consuming than breaking through on a single level!

But it is also certain that ordinary people's breakthroughs after five transformations will no longer be measured in days, but must be calculated in months.

This also means that the value of various items that can increase the speed of cultivation and directly improve the cultivation level will also increase...

"Especially this time, I didn't expect that the Eternal Land would not only condense the laws of the 'sixth level of mortal transformation', but also the laws of the 'seventh level of mortal transformation'."

Yes, although he broke through, Xia Tian failed to reach the level limit this time.

Because the current upper limit is not six transformations, but seven transformations.

"Although I can continue to immerse myself in cultivation, the way of cultivation requires relaxation. Even a hard-working person needs a break."

"It's better to go to the territory for a walk first!"

After Xia Tian took a bath to clean off the dirt caused by "cutting bones and washing marrow", he walked out of the lord's mansion.

"Is this the territory of the human race that defeated the high-level alien races? We can live here in the future and no longer have to worry about those alien races and ferocious beasts! I'm not dreaming."

"Hiss, it's such a high city wall. It's even taller than the walls of our original world capital... And why do I feel like this city wall is a 'living thing'?"

"You guys, stop dawdling, come over quickly and register your information, place of origin, cultivation, and skills... After you register, you can go over there and drink meat porridge until you're full!"

As soon as he went out, a large number of sounds entered Xia Tian's ears that had become more sensitive due to his breakthrough.

At the entrance of the bluestone city wall, you can see some ragged humans with hungry faces registering information at the request of patrolling soldiers.

Then, provide them with hot food and shelter.

Although it is just the simplest, ferocious beast meat porridge without much technical content, and a simple shed made of wood and stone, it is enough to make these people feel the warmth of people's hearts and can't help but burst into tears, vying to join the territory!

After the battle with the mountain ghost, just as Zhuge Liang speculated, a large number of refugees rushed to the territory from the surrounding wilderness every day.

Xia Tian glanced at the territory information.

【Lord Name】Xia Tian

[Territory level] Villages and towns (the upper limit of sheltered humans is 7832/10000)

[Territorial Luck] 95025 points

[Territorial Resources] 7050 mortal-level resources, 30020 mortal-level resources, ingredients...

In just seven days, the population of the territory has almost doubled, with an average of 500 new people joining every day. Compared with the previous preparations for war, the consumption of the two golden rare items "Armor of Vengeance and Fangshi" was compared with the baptism and upgrade. The luck value has once again increased to nearly 100,000!

It can be said that it is only one step away from territory upgrade.

In addition, a large amount of resources are stored in the territory warehouse, especially the extraordinary variety of resources.

All this is due to the credit of "Fangshi".

At this time, the sky is approaching dusk, and "sky lanterns" carved from ice silk and green bamboo are floating above the streets, shining like stars.

The "Fangshi" building that used to be empty is now full of people.

In addition to some shops stationed in other territories on both sides, there are even stalls on the ground of the White Marble Square with many colorful treasures and resources.

"Brother, this is the 'Death Mushroom', a specialty of our territory. The enemy will die immediately after eating it. You only need one spirit stone to buy one. It is absolutely cheap. Do you want to try it?"

"The best hundred-fruit monkey wine can restore the strength of the mind. One cup will refresh the mind, two cups will never make you tired, and three cups will make you immortal..."

"Don't miss it if you're passing by... The rhinoceros skin half-armor of the mortal level only costs ten spirit stones, and it's worth every penny!"

When Xia Tian walked into the market, he heard all kinds of greetings.

However, the place with the largest number of people is still the twelve-story pavilion with a white jade plaque of "Wuhua Tianbao" that appeared in the center of the city after the city was upgraded!

"Can Ningshenxiang of the mortal level speed up your cultivation by about twice as much? One plate can be used as a mortgage for twenty spiritual stones..."

"Exotic fairy beans, can you quickly recover your physical strength after eating them? Each one is mortgaged with two spiritual stones!"

"One hundred kilograms of black iron ore can make weapons with extremely strong toughness and can be mortgaged for two hundred spirit stones."

This tall building named "Tianbao Pavilion" by Xia Tian is the core of the entire city.

After the people from the other territories arrive, they need to enter them first and mortgage their territory's resources to obtain "spiritual stones", as well as the qualifications to "set up stalls" and open "shops" in the market!

In addition, in this "Tianbao Pavilion", there are also a large number of territorial specialties for sale.

You only need one spiritual stone to buy fifty pounds of ordinary-level pearl rice, five ordinary-level fragrant white lotus seeds for one spiritual stone, and five ordinary-level golden honey for one spiritual stone...

There is also "treasure meat" that condenses the core essence of a ferocious beast after being beheaded by Chef Ding with his accompanying rare item "Butcher's Knife". Each portion sells for five to ten spirit stones.

As for the mortal level, the price will be increased by about five to ten times based on the ordinary level.

"There are actually exercises for sale? Moreover, the price is not expensive!"

"This "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Technique" can make a person infinitely powerful, bursting out five times the physical strength. It is a top-grade transformation technique. It is so cheap, only forty spiritual stones are needed!"

"The "Five Luo Qingyan Palm" is also a top-grade transformation technique. It includes the method of tempering the body with spiritual power, body techniques and palm techniques, and only requires fifty spiritual stones."

In addition, there is another "no capital transaction", which is the secret books of various techniques in Langhuan Jade Mansion.

Not every territory has high-level skills. It can even be said that most of the territories have only one or two skills that come from talents and outstanding people. Silver-quality skills are almost the upper limit.

In "Tianbao Pavilion", not only green and blue exquisite and high-quality exercises are sold, but also high-end and top-level exercises of silver and gold quality are for sale.

Therefore, it attracts a large number of people to buy.

However, Xia Tian stipulates that silver and gold quality techniques cannot be exchanged for "spiritual stones and resources".

You need to purchase it through "Exotic Treasures and Rare Objects"!

Of course, these golden techniques were all obtained through his "Mini-Stone Turning into Gold" enhancement. They are not the core techniques of territorial heroes or military training. They can be spread to enhance the overall strength of the human territory!

As for the spiritual weapons such as "Meteor Crossbow, Sky Lantern, Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse", Xia Tian is not ready to sell them yet.

However, Zhu Youxiao and several other people who have reached the level of master or above relying on their "ingenuity" talents have begun to study the "Spirit Craftsman's Manual".

We are currently studying whether it can be imitated using more conventional materials. Once the "low-profile mass production" is completed, it can also be placed in the "Tianbao Pavilion".

"In addition to tens of thousands of various resources, 'Tianbao Pavilion' has obtained a total of fourteen rare treasures through transactions in these seven days, including one of silver quality, three of blue quality, and seven of green... In addition, , and six white and green quality rare items..."

On the third floor of "Tianbao Pavilion", wearing a brocade dress woven from ice silk, a graceful red-whisker girl was telling Xia Tian the "profits" of the past few days.

She has been designated as the person in charge of "Tianbao Pavilion" by Xia Tian.

Although Hongfu Girl does not have commercial characteristics, she is able to recognize people because of her gift of "eyes of wisdom".

In addition, because he comes from a family of officials and has seen the world, he handles the affairs of Qifang City in an orderly manner and behaves no worse than men!

The most important thing is that as a woman, it is easier to communicate with Xue Baochai, who is proficient in business, and seek some development advice.

"Well, there are so many?"

There was some surprise on Xia Tian's face.

You must know that exotic treasures belong to the eternal land of heaven and earth.

In a sense, it is even more difficult to search than rare objects.

In particular, his natal rare item "Jiangshan Battle Map" needs to be continuously integrated with exotic treasures to "open up" space and increase its power. The income from Fangshi can undoubtedly solve his big problem!

As for the five rare objects, although they are of lower level and do not have much potential for cultivation, they can also be eaten by the "Colorful Universe Gourd" to breed treasures.

It is worth mentioning that on the third day after the battle with the mountain ghost, a silver-quality gourd matured among the colorful universe gourds, and the first treasure was successfully conceived from it.

Astonishingly, it is a brass mirror with a golden Pixiu button on the back. Its characteristic is that it only needs to input spiritual power and shine it on the item to reveal the quality of the item and whether there are "flaws" in the internal structure. Waiting for information!

This kind of treasure, similar to "X" rays, has now been placed in the "market" specifically to "value" different commodities.

"What, take a closer look!"

"This knife was made by a famous master in the capital. It can cut iron like clay, blow hair and break hair. Isn't it even worth ten spiritual stones?"

Just as Xia Tian was going downstairs to leave, a voice came from the valuation area of ​​the "Tianbao Building" lobby.

"Sorry, you two!"

"The weapons in your hands are of the ordinary level. Although they are very well-made and emit silver light under the 'treasure mirror', which is indeed the craftsmanship of a master, they can only be used as collateral for five spirit stones at most!"

Turning around, Xia Tian saw a man and a woman trying to mortgage a "precious sword" in exchange for spiritual stones.

However, I was disappointed when I heard the estimate.

According to Xue Baochai's suggestion, Lingshi was used as the "intermediate currency" in the market.

People who want to trade first mortgage the resources of their territory in exchange for spiritual stones, and then rely on the spiritual stones to buy what they want.

This setting is more cumbersome, but it is beneficial to the territory's "taxation".

For the teams sent by the lords who came to trade in Fangshi, it was not a big problem.

After all, as a "lord" everyone will have at least some rare resources and treasures on hand, enough to exchange for spiritual stones!

But right now, these two people seem to be relatively short of money?

"One spirit stone can only be exchanged for fifty kilograms of pearl rice... There are 1,500 people in our village. We need at least 500 spirit stones to buy the food we currently lack. Even if we mortgage our belongings, it won't be enough... Brother, what's the matter? What to do?"

Among them, after the woman made some calculations, she frowned with her beautiful face and misty hair.

He is at least 1.8 meters tall, not inferior to many men. He is wearing a cyan shirt, a gold armor lining, lion-like crested shoes, and a pair of sun and moon swords hanging on his waist!

"grown ups!"

After seeing Xia Tian coming over, the person responsible for the valuation stood up in a hurry with a respectful expression.

"Sir? You are the 'Lord' in this human territory!"

Seeing the reaction of the city managers who were above him in his heart, the tall young man realized Xia Tian's identity and his expression looked a little nervous.

Although the tall woman in green clothes and gold armor did not speak, her pair of heroic eyes looked at Xia Tian curiously.

They probably didn't expect that this place would be a psychological shock to the brothers and sisters. The person in charge of the human territory, who was like an immortal, could be so young and handsome?
