Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 132 [Heart of the City - 2-Star Treasure]

After Lu Feng and Su Wangyu finished their sparring and familiarized themselves with their own powers, they returned from the forest to continue their cultivation.

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed.

The outcome of the battle in Hongze County continued to escalate. After the allied forces suffered a major defeat and three Foundation Establishment cultivators died, Chongfu Temple outside the county seat fell silent.

The temple gates were tightly closed, and the interior was completely silent.

The monks in the temple were not allowed to leave the temple except to purchase supplies. They were no longer as arrogant as before, and they all shrank back when they met people or encountered problems.

The victorious Xuan Yin Temple was no longer as arrogant and domineering as Chong Fu Temple had been, thinking that winning the war made them the number one in Hongze County and that they could do whatever they wanted.

Under Lu Feng's management and constraints, the Taoists in Xuan Yin Temple continued to do their work honestly and manage the Xuan Yin Temple territory.

Improving people's livelihoods and winning their hearts and minds remain the top priorities for everyone at Xuan Yin Temple.

Although some people in Xuan Yin Temple might wonder why Lu Feng was so low-key and humble, and what the point of treating ordinary people so well was.

But Lu Feng's will would not be swayed by the opinions of some people. He firmly controlled everything in Xuan Yin Temple, making the giant ship of Xuan Yin Temple move forward according to his ideas.

Lu Feng's goal is to rely on the abundant population in the Xuan Yin Temple territory to quickly gather the heart of the city within the territory.

In order to maintain stability in Hongze County, not many days had passed since the allied forces suffered a major defeat.

Tong Hanwen, the prefect of Hongze County, was sent back to the prefectural government office by Lu Feng.

However, when Tong Hanwen arrived with the allied forces in a menacing manner, he was still a living, breathing person.

The allied forces suffered a crushing defeat, and upon their return, they became vampire servants under Lu Feng.

A drop of blood, planted in his body, transformed Tong Hanwen, an ordinary man, into a vampire servant.

The kind of person who listens to Lu Feng without question.

Tong Hanwen became a vampire servant and returned to the prefect's mansion, where he also became close to the Xuan Yin Temple.

Although he was not a cultivator, he was still a high-ranking official who sat over the entire Hongze County.

The Prefectural Governor's Office has no jurisdiction over the cultivators in Hongze Prefecture, but it does have jurisdiction over the common people and aristocratic families in Hongze Prefecture.

As soon as Tong Hanwen returned to the prefectural governor's mansion, he immediately set about rectifying the situation at Xuan Yin Temple and removing the charges that the prefectural governor's allied forces and Chongfu Temple had leveled against Xuan Yin Temple.

These things may not be very useful, but they can improve the reputation of Xuan Yin Temple, making it easier for Xuan Yin Temple to go deeper into the counties and towns to transform the land.

The Foundation Establishment stage monks of Chongfu Temple were also angry about Tong Hanwen's defection, but considering that Xuan Yin Temple was capable of eliminating three Foundation Establishment stage experts, they no longer cared what Tong Hanwen did.

Moreover, with the deaths of Abbot Huineng and Monk Liusha, both Foundation Establishment stage monks, at Chongfu Temple, the Xuanmen sects throughout Hongze County, led by Yuchan Temple, began to target Chongfu Temple and other Buddhist forces.

Before the battle between Xuanyin Temple and Chongfu Temple was resolved, Yuchan Temple dared not openly wage war against the Buddhist forces represented by Chongfu Temple.

But now that Xuan Yin Temple has won a battle, if Yu Chan Temple doesn't step in and teach Chong Fu Temple a lesson, they really won't be able to hold onto their position as the number one Xuanmen sect in Hongze County.

The struggle is not only about fighting, but also about plundering resources, which brings many benefits to Yu Chan Temple.

However, the actions of Yuchan Temple seem somewhat like taking advantage of the situation and reaping the benefits of Xuanyin Temple's victory.

This also drew considerable dissatisfaction from some members of the Xuan Yin Temple towards the Yu Chan Temple, a Taoist sect that only took benefits and did nothing.

These complaints and anger reached Lu Feng's ears, making him laugh it off.

They immediately suppressed these grievances and anger, preventing these voices from leaving Xuan Yin Temple.

"Let the Xuanmen forces like Yuchan Temple taste some sweetness first. Xuanyin Temple still needs to be developed. At least until it advances to a 2-star territory and has my 2-star troop buildings, then it will be time to take over the entire Hongze County!"

Lu Feng has ample resources in the Lord's World and doesn't care much about the small amount of resource gains that the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects in Hongze County are fighting over.

The best course of action now is to avoid standing out and focus on developing the Xuan Yin Temple.

In Hongze County, chaos reigned as the Buddhist and Taoist sects fought each other. Lu Feng, however, remained calm and unperturbed as he watched the battle unfold from his Xuan Yin Temple.

Time flies, and another three months have passed, bringing with it the autumn harvest season in the Xuan Yin Temple territory.

In the several county towns and across the land within the territory of Xuan Yin Temple, scenes of abundant harvests are everywhere.

With the excellent seeds cultivated by the wood elves and treants of Xuan Yin Temple and Black Stone Territory, coupled with professional farming guidance, irrigation facilities, and fertilizer supplementation, the crop yield per mu in Xuan Yin Temple's territory has exceeded 1,000 jin.

In the past, this was a great joyous occasion that could be considered an auspicious omen and reported to the Emperor of Liang.

However, today, this has become the norm in the territory of Xuan Yin Temple, ensuring that many ordinary people in the territory have enough to eat and wear.

Only when people are well-fed and watered can they win the hearts and minds of the people.

With a bountiful harvest in the territory, the people of Hongze County living in the Xuan Yin Temple territory felt a great increase in happiness.

They never had such a good life before; just surviving each year was a great blessing.

Eating their fill is a dream come true for them.

Now, such a wonderful thing has actually fallen into their laps.

The common people in the territory of Xuan Yin Temple looked at the Taoist priests of Xuan Yin Temple with joy as if they had seen immortals descending from heaven to help them get rid of poverty and live a happy life.

That's a good point.

With the arrival of Xuan Yin Temple, good days have truly begun.

Alongside the bountiful harvest, even more newborns were born in the territory of Xuan Yin Temple. Only when they were well-fed and watered could they have the strength and time to reproduce and thrive.

As newborn babies were born one after another, Lu Feng, who was stationed in the Xuan Yin Temple, also sensed the changes in the core of the territory within the Xuan Yin Temple's core area.

Strolling into the house where the core of the territory is stored, the stone tablet nearby is radiating a warm and comforting white light, shining brightly.

A map of the Xuan Yin Temple's territory floated up from the stone tablet.

Using moon wells and graveyards built in the territory as nodes, countless tiny points of light fill in the outline of the entire Xuan Yin Temple map.

These tiny specks of light are clearly the embodiment of the will and aspirations of the people living in the territory of Xuan Yin Temple.

"439,674 people!"

This is the total number of all the dots on the map, representing the total population living within the territory of Xuan Yin Temple.

The Xuan Yin Temple, which gradually developed, absorbed almost two-thirds of the population of Hongze County.

This is also the foundation upon which the core of the Xuan Yin Temple's territory began to transform.

"Transform!"

As if sensing Lu Feng's desire, the stone tablet at the core of the Xuan Yin Temple territory rose from the ground.

"click"

The pitch-black stone tablet compressed its volume, slowly becoming rounded, and after a few minutes, it gradually transformed into a crystal-clear sphere the size of a head.

It radiated a warm and comforting silvery-white glow and floated quietly in front of Lu Feng.

【Heart of the City - 2 stars】 【Treasure Effect】: The foundation of the city, which can be used to build the city by consuming resources.

Lu Feng reached out and touched the heart of the city, his divine sense and spirit beginning to merge into the heart of the city.

My perspective instantly broadened, and I could see the vast area radiating from the heart of the city.

Within this region, Lu Feng felt he had gained the ability to command troops within his territory and utilize various resources to build cities.

If he wanted, he could easily build a massive and sturdy city centered on the heart of the city within the territory of the Xuan Yin Temple.

With the City Heart successfully formed, the Xuan Yin Temple territory's upgrade to a 2-star territory is now a certainty.

Before that, though.

Lu Feng also planned to first report this good news to his mentor, Ms. Green.

Back in Blackrock Territory, Lu Feng tore open the silver scroll left behind by Lady Green.

The silver scroll cracked open, and a wisp of silver spatial power surged into the void, delivering the message to Ms. Green, who was far away in the Morning Star Tower.

"That's fast! Lu Feng has a bright future ahead of him."

Ms. Green, who was conducting an experiment in the laboratory, suddenly received a message from Lu Feng.

Knowing that Lu Feng had already managed the territory well and formed the heart of the city, he immediately smiled, and his mood, which had been somewhat depressed because of the failed experiment, immediately improved.

"Yelinka, come here and tidy up this place. I'm going to teach Lu Feng how to build a mage tower!"

"I know, teacher!"

Ms. Green handed over the messy experimental table left after the failure to Yelinka to clean up, and then she disappeared into the Morning Star Tower in a flash.

Lu Feng waited in Blackstone Territory for three days.

That day, while he was meditating in his quiet room, a very imposing and beautiful figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the sky above his territory.

"teacher!"

Lu Feng sensed Ms. Green's presence, stepped out of the quiet room, and bowed respectfully.

After welcoming Ms. Green into Blackstone Territory, Lu Feng took out the [Heart of the City] that he had moved from the Xuan Yin Temple territory.

Before the City Heart is fully developed into a city, it can still be moved.

Ms. Green didn't care whether Lu Feng's City Heart belonged to Blackrock Territory or not; she simply said eagerly:

"Come, come, let me teach you how to build a mage tower!"

"With the Heart of the City, building the Mage Tower becomes much easier. Just build the main body of the Mage Tower according to the blueprint, and then build the element pool at the core of the Mage Tower. As for other functions you want, just buy the corresponding magic arrays or add troop buildings to it!"

Ms. Green pointed to Lu Feng's forehead, and a flood of text and images rushed into his mind, imprinting the blueprints for the Mage Tower into his memory.

"So this is how mage towers are built!"

As he processed the memories in his mind, Lu Feng felt a sense of sudden realization.

Everything about the Mage Tower evolved from the cities in the 2-star territories.

It's just that when mages build their own territories and cities, they use more technology and invest more resources, putting everything in the city and territory into the mage tower.

It also utilizes a floating magic circle to allow the mage tower to levitate in the air, giving it the ability to fly and increasing its aerial mobility.

The financial resources and technology required to build a mage tower are the same costs involved, and similar effects can be achieved when used in territorial cities.

To give an example, it's the same car, but a rich and skilled mage can transform it into a hovercar that can fly in the air.

Ordinary lords, on the other hand, invested resources to transform their cars into hundred-ton or ten-thousand-ton vehicles.

Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages; it all comes down to who has more money and more technology.

Having grasped the general idea, Lu Feng also knew that the appearance of the mage tower was not specifically targeted.

Traditional mages like to build a spire, while modern mages build mage towers according to their own preferences.

Like Lady Green's Green Hut, it doesn't have the shape of a spire; it's just a three-story hut, but it's a real mage tower.

When they flew to other places, no one dared to underestimate Ms. Green's Green Hut.

Having just received the blueprints for the mage tower, and with nothing else in hand, Lu Feng didn't have many plans for his mage tower at the moment.

If possible, he would like to build a primitive mage tower.

The spire should look ordinary; it doesn't need to be overtly unique or distinctive.

This makes the enemy think of you as just an ordinary mage, and they won't target you specifically.

The appearance is not important; what matters is the functionality inside the mage tower. A good mage tower is one that is fully functional and complete.

Lu Feng's simple concept of building a mage tower made Ms. Green take a second look at him.

My disciple is indeed exceptionally intelligent and knows how to behave appropriately; he is a good disciple for the future.

"When you became my disciple some time ago, I didn't prepare a gift for you. Now that you want to build a mage tower, I've prepared a basic elemental pool for you, which is enough to support you in building a two-star mage tower!"

When Ms. Green arrived in Blackrock Territory and said she would help Lu Feng build a mage tower, she wasn't just making empty promises.

In addition to bringing construction blueprints, they also brought Lu Feng the core structure of the Mage Tower.

[Basic Element Pool - 2-Star Treasure]

[Architectural Effect]: Elemental absorption, storage, and output.
The Elemental Pool is one of the core buildings of the Mage Tower, as important as the Heart of the City.

All the magic arrays, basic buildings, and troop buildings inside the Mage Tower require the element pool to supply energy.

Even if Lu Feng had the blueprints for the mage tower, it would still take him several years to build a basic elemental pool by following the blueprints and collecting materials.

Ms. Green generously gifted a pool of basic elements, saving Lu Feng several years of time.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Holding the elemental pool shrunk to the size of his palm, Lu Feng expressed his sincere gratitude.

"No need to thank me, it's just a basic elemental pool. I salvaged it from some enemy mage towers. It would have just been gathering dust in my vault anyway, so it's perfect to give it to you!"

"I just hope you can make the most of this basic elemental pool, build the mage tower as soon as possible, and grow stronger!"

Ms. Green lightly covered her red lips and smiled as she instructed Lu Fengdao.

Putting away the basic element pool, Lu Feng also devoted a lot of effort to studying the blueprints for the mage tower.

Study the basic construction structure of the mage tower.

Lu Feng had considerable experience in building moon wells and cemeteries, and with the help of the Wisdom spell, the basic structure of the mage tower quickly became clear in his mind.
