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

Chapter 136 Research on Construction

Smodem's words make sense; Lu Feng has the Bone Spire in his possession.

He can use the basic element pool as he pleases, but it is equally difficult to compress the power of death and condense it into crystals.

Using a small amount of death power to attempt compression and condensation is also prone to failure. Once it fails, the condensed death power will explode in the elemental pool with astonishing power.

After trying twice, Lu Feng immediately gave up the idea of ​​condensing death crystals on his own.

He also asked Akaleya.

I'd like to know if there's any way to buy five Death Crystals for building the Haunted Mansion from Akalia of the Golden Eagle family.

Buying products is definitely cheaper than buying technology.

After Lu Feng finished refining the Bone Spire, he was penniless and had little savings left.

If possible, he wanted to buy five Death Crystals as a temporary solution.

Once the secluded mansion is built, and two-star vampire troops are under one's command, the strength of the territory will be improved, and only after having the capital can one consider purchasing the technology to condense death crystals.

Akaleya actively helped contact some friends regarding Landwind's needs.

However, the results were not ideal.

Death Crystals are a special material for 2-star characters, but they are nothing compared to the vast power of the Golden Eagle Clan.

However, this presents some difficulties for Akalia, who has not yet reached the level of a 2-star lord.

"I asked a few friends who are also lords in the Tales region, and they're not doing as well as me. Their territories haven't even reached the two-star level, and they don't have any Death Crystals!"

"In addition, I also contacted the Iris Flower Merchant Guild on the border of the Leiden Empire. They do have a stock of Death Crystals. However, since there are not many places in the Leiden Empire or the Necromancer Tower that produce Death Crystals, this stuff is quite expensive, five or six times the price of a Light Crystal of the same level!"

"The Iris Flower Merchant Guild sells Death Crystals, but only accepts transactions using Silver Soul Coins or equivalent two-star materials and resources!"

"A single Death Crystal can fetch around eighty or ninety Silver Soul Coins!"

Hearing about the Death Crystal that Akalia had found out, Lu Feng felt that the Death Crystal was a bit too expensive for him at the moment.

Upon entering the Foundation Establishment stage, whether in the cultivation world or the lord world, the two-star enemies encountered are usually only one or two.

The five Death Crystals needed to build the Ghost House require him to kill at least four or five hundred Foundation Establishment stage or 2-star enemies.

Do you really think two-star or Foundation Establishment stage enemies are as common as cabbages? Where are you going to find so many two-star enemies for him to kill?

Even if such a thing existed, given Lu Feng's current strength and the combat effectiveness of his troops, they would only be able to flee in terror and escape in a sorry state.

"It seems that the construction of this secluded residence cannot be rushed. Death crystals are already so expensive, so Ms. Green's technology for condensing death crystals will probably be even more expensive! We need to plan carefully, take it slow, and prepare slowly!"

The cost of materials for building the secluded mansion was too high, so Lu Feng had to temporarily slow down its construction and turn his attention to improving his own strength.

After entering the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Feng's cultivation speed slowed down. He no longer had the efficiency of opening several acupoints a day by relying on his war experience, which he had during the Qi Refining stage.

The cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage is the condensation of the Foundation Establishment True Essence within the Foundation Establishment Space.

Only by accumulating the true qi of all 365 acupoints in the body during the Qi Refining stage can one condense a drop of true essence during the Foundation Establishment stage.

After successfully cultivating a superior Dao Foundation, Lu Feng's daily cultivation speed increased by nearly a hundred times compared to the Qi Refining stage, but his speed in condensing true essence remained slow.

The Cloud Mist Elixir, which provides a half-month boost to cultivation speed during the Qi Refining stage, can be fully refined by Lu Feng in a quarter of an hour during the Foundation Establishment stage.

The effects of elixirs that aid in cultivation have been greatly reduced; the Cloud Mist Elixir is practically consumed like candy.

Unfortunately, the Qingyun Qi-Gathering Elixir Method does not contain any elixir formulas suitable for the Foundation Establishment stage.

In his transactions with Yuchan Temple and Chongfu Temple, Lu Feng managed to extract some pill formulas from both.

However, both institutions kept their Foundation Establishment stage items strictly confidential, and the only items traded to the Xuan Yin Temple were various pill formulas and classic texts for the Qi Refining stage.

It enriches the Xuan Yin Temple's foundation and can improve the quality of elixirs in the territory, but its effect on Lu Feng personally is limited.

The water from the Moon Well is practically useless; it's not even very effective for bathing.

It can only be refined in tons to extract the power of the moonlight.

The excess water from the Moon Well in the territory was sold, some of it to the Jade Cicada Temple.

Now, most of them are sent into the elemental pools of the Bone Spire, to be used as energy for the elemental pools.

Lu Feng also lacked other 2-star resource buildings, so he could only work with the necromancer Smodem in the laboratory of the Bone Spire to study territory buildings.

Take advantage of the 2-star territory's ability to freely build after acquiring the Heart of the City.

There are some research findings.

Over time...

Building 2-star territory structures is quite difficult, but Lu Feng and the necromancer Smodem have managed to research some common-level territory structures.

By studying the existing buildings in Blackrock Territory, Lu Feng essentially reverse-engineered the blueprints for building farms in Blackrock Territory.

[Farm - Common Building]

[Construction Requirements]: 20 wood, 5 stone, 3 soul coins.

A farm with ordinary buildings can recruit farmers, and the construction requirements are not high.

With the blueprints, Blackrock Territory can recruit ordinary-level farmers every week, quickly increasing the territory's base population.

As soon as the farm building blueprints were completed, Akalaya couldn't wait to rush over and buy a copy.

The development of Golden Eagle Territory has encountered a bottleneck. The core of the city has failed to materialize for a long time, and what it lacks is a sufficient population.

The farm construction blueprints are one of the best ways to significantly increase the population and accelerate the cohesion of the Golden Eagle Territory's heart.

The value of the farm construction blueprints was immeasurable for Akalea.

Akalia searched through her entire savings account, but couldn't find any treasure that matched the farm's blueprints.

"This blueprint is for you. You've helped me a lot along the way, lending me three two-star treasures for free without asking for anything in return. Now, here's just a farm construction blueprint. Take it and use it for now!"

Upon seeing Akalia's expression, Lu Feng pressed her hand, which was rummaging through the secret stash, back down and generously offered his opinion.

"How can this be possible..."

Akalia felt that Lu Feng's kindness was too great for her to bear.

"Of course! You can make it up to me with yourself, hehe!"

Lu Feng held Akalia in his arms and gave her a meaningful smile.

Instantly, Akalia, leaning against Lu Feng's chest, blushed slightly, and a restless energy, like a raging fire, surged within her.

That night, Akalia made amends to Lu Feng handsomely.

On the second day, feeling a bit weak in the knees, he rode the golden griffin back to Golden Eagle Territory with the farm construction blueprints.

Upon returning to Golden Eagle Territory, Akalaya gathered his men, took resources, and set out to build farms and recruit farmers across the territory.

Farmers are cheap, and recruitment costs are low.

Population, population!
Akalia was going to mass produce troops in her Golden Eagle Territory.

We strive to unite the hearts of our city and advance to a 2-star territory as soon as possible.

……

Besides the farm building that can rapidly increase population, Lu Feng and the necromancer Smolder also dismantled the [Evil Temple] building for recruiting skeletons and the [Graveyard] building for recruiting zombies. The appearance of these two undead buildings completes the foundation of Lu Feng's current Bone Spire.

Unfortunately, within Lu Feng's Black Stone Territory, there has never been a necromancy-type building called the "Spirit Tomb" that can recruit ghosts and spirits.

Otherwise, Lu Feng would prefer to complete the recruitment buildings for the undead unit, Wraith.

Among the undead army under his command, the ghostly soldiers, all relied on her to recruit them from corpses using necromancy.

Its stability and sustainability are not as good as the stability of troop building recruitment.

There's no way around it; reverse engineering is much easier than designing it yourself.

The [Spirit Tomb], which recruits spirits and ghosts, is a 1-star unit building belonging to the Undead category.

Reverse dismantling makes generating buildings easier.

Having nothing and designing it from scratch, the 1-star unit building still somewhat exceeds the potential of Landwind and the Necromancer Smolder.

However, designing 1-star unit buildings is somewhat difficult, while ordinary buildings are easier.

Based on the needs of Blackrock Territory, Lu Feng and the necromancer Smodem managed to research some useful common unit buildings.

[Wall - A common building]

[Construction Requirements]: 20 Stone, 1 Soul Coin.

[Building Effect]: Blocks ground troops, provides building armor, and the wall will not break until the building armor is destroyed.

Soul coins and stone can be used to repair the city wall armor.

Walls can improve the defense of some territories, and building some in key locations in Blackrock Territory can be very useful when resources are plentiful.

As soon as this blueprint was completed, Heroic Ironwall enclosed the underground rift exit outside the former Dark Territory with a wall.

Iron Wall, the hero who often defends against monsters emerging from underground fissures at their exits, has been annoyed by the unpredictable monsters that appear from the fissures many times.

Even the undead army, which doesn't need rest, is bothered by monsters that suddenly appear from time to time.

By spending some materials to build a wall around the exit of the underground fissure, the underground fissure became much quieter.

There is also a version of the wall made of undead skeletons.

[Wall of Bones]

The wall was built using the same bone bricks as those used to construct the Bone Spire.

Lu Feng built the Bone Wall inside the Bone Spire, merging the Bone Wall with the walls of the Bone Spire.

The entire wall of the Bone Spire was classified as a Bone Enclosure, and instantly, the entire Bone Spire was armored.

This armor also had a wonderful interaction with the first talisman of the Nine Transformations of Heaven and Earth, "Unimpeded by Weapons and Swords".

This allows Lu Feng to enjoy the Bone Spire's armored defenses at all times, even without entering the Bone Spire itself.

It's as if Lu Feng is covered by a layer of armor at all times.

Landwind will not suffer any damage until the city's armored defenses provided by the Bone Spire are broken.

This discovery greatly enhanced Lu Feng's ability to protect himself.

The new discovery greatly increased Lu Feng and Smooth's enthusiasm for studying ordinary buildings.

Naturally, this also led to the research and development of more common buildings.

[Farmland - Common Buildings]

[Building Requirements]: 20 Wood, 1 Soul Coin.

[Architectural Effect]: The land where crops are planted is slightly moistened by the earth element, which makes the crops growing on the farmland grow stronger.

[Watchtower - Ordinary Building]

[Construction Requirements]: 10 Wood, 10 Stone, 1 Soul Coin

[Architectural Effect]: Alert, Reconnaissance

Starting from the basics of daily life in Blackrock Territory, Lu Feng, relying on the characteristics of buildings studied by the Heart of the City, worked with Smode to develop many basic buildings.

This greatly enriched the foundation of Blackrock Territory. Although these buildings were not of high level, their effects made Blackrock Territory as solid as an iron barrel.

It gradually began to resemble a 2-star territory.

At the same time, Lu Feng actively moved the buildings that had proven effective in the Black Stone Territory to the Xuan Yin Temple territory in the cultivation world.

With the construction of various buildings, the territory of Xuan Yin Temple changes every day, and every day brings a new look.

As Lu Feng used the Heart of the City, he gradually understood the difference between a 2-star territory and a 1-star territory.

With this characteristic of free research and construction, a developed 2-star territory can completely crush a 1-star territory.

If the Xuan Yin Temple territory, which has developed in this way, were to encounter the previous prefectural governor's allied forces again...

As long as Lu Feng is with Chongfu Temple and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, the withered old man.

Other scattered cultivators and ordinary troops, once they entered the territory of Xuan Yin Temple, would be ruthlessly crushed by the impenetrable Xuan Yin Temple territory.

While Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple were still fighting against the Xuanmen sect in Hongze County, Xuanyin Temple's territory was undergoing a transformative development.

Of course, these land breezes have no intention of publicizing this.

They simply develop quietly, waiting for the day they can make a name for themselves.

During this period, the corpses of Abbot Huineng of Chongfu Temple and Monk Liusha, who had died at Lu Feng's hands, were also put to good use by Lu Feng.

He used a necromancy spell to recruit undead creatures to his side.

[King Kong Corpse - 2-Star White Plate]

[Skills]: Power of Death, Body of Steel.

The Buddhist power cultivated in Buddhism is filled with masculine energy, much like the knights in the lord world who believe in the path of light, severely hindering the effectiveness of necromancy.

Lu Feng and Smode spent many days researching together before they came up with a method to completely refine the Buddhist power in the bodies of Abbot Huineng and Monk Liusha into their blood and bones, and to completely disperse the Buddhist power in the two Foundation Establishment corpses into their flesh and blood, thus forging their Vajra bodies.

Finally, he was pulled up using a soul-summoning technique, becoming a Vajra Corpse with a body comparable to a 2-star treasure.

The Vajra Corpse, driven by the power of death, focuses more on physical strength, and its attack method is purely physical force.

While the methods were not as numerous as before, they were concentrated into a single point, reaching the pinnacle and comparable to his fighting power in life.

These two Vajra Corpses are now considered to be the most capable soldiers in Lu Feng's hands.

Except for the Three Trees Man.

The two-star undead units that Lu Feng currently possesses—Dragon Armor Abomination, Serpent Demon Abomination, Yin Wood Corpse, and Vajra Corpse—are all stored in the Bone Spire.

It's portable and convenient to use.

The elemental pools within the Bone Spire absorb the power of death daily, making it the ideal place for their daily cultivation.

Thanks to Smolder's research, these level 2 undead creatures also began to cultivate techniques suitable for them.

On ordinary days, they would often gather around the elemental pool, consuming their true energy to help Lu Feng refine the Bone Spire.
