Chapter 158 Griffin Cage, Magic Guild (1 words update, please read on, please vote!)
The Golden Eagle family's staff are very efficient.

Offspring like Akalya, who receive the highest level of support, are the future of the Golden Eagle family, and the support they receive is always perfect.

Fast, efficient, precise... in short, Akalia is very comfortable to use.

Akalia picked up the resource pouch from the small teleportation array, opened it, and found it contained a large quantity of basic resources.

The basic resources of wood, stone, metal ingots, and food are equivalent to five or six months' worth of production in the Golden Eagle Territory of Akalea, enough for the Golden Eagle Territory to build basic structures on a large scale and develop properly for a while.

Golden Eagle Territory and Black Stone Territory of Landwind have frequent trade relations. Although Golden Eagle Territory is not lacking in these basic resources, its basic resources are also greatly consumed during the large-scale construction after Golden Eagle Territory was upgraded to 2 stars.

The basic resources provided by these families replenished the Golden Eagle Territory's warehouses, allowing Akalia to develop her territory without any worries.

Akalea has just taken over the poor and barren land of the Evil God Lord. As Golden Eagle Territory expands in that direction, it will need to invest a lot of basic resources to transform that land.

After carefully putting away the resource bag containing basic resources, Akalia became concerned about Landwind's needs:

"Now that I have received support from the family, I can apply for some special resources at the second-star level. Lu Feng, is there anything you need?"

This was an agreement made between Lu Feng and Akalaya beforehand. Lu Feng would fully support Akalaya in passing the family's resource assessment, and after Akalaya passed the assessment, he would use his obtained funding authority to seek some benefits for Lu Feng.

Lu Feng thought about it carefully, considering what he needed right now.

Now that he has helped Akalia complete the family's assessment, the next stage will be for Akalia's Golden Eagle Territory to receive family support and develop rapidly.

With the support of her family, Akalia will receive a steady stream of two-star building blueprints and resources, and her Golden Eagle Territory will definitely experience a period of rapid growth in strength.

The monsters surrounding Golden Eagle Territory and the nearby lords will surely be in luck.

Lu Feng's Black Stone Territory borders the Golden Eagle Territory and they support each other. The strength of the Golden Eagle Territory will also bring great benefits to the Black Stone Territory.

Lu Feng now has a haunted house in his territory that can recruit two-star vampires. In addition, with his own and the hero Iron Wall's intermediate necromancy, he can transform the corpses of two-star enemies into undead creatures in battle, increasing the Blackrock Territory's military strength.

Therefore, Lu Feng doesn't lack two-star troops for the time being. What he needs more support in his own cultivation is to further strengthen his Bone Spire.

Lu Feng shared his thoughts with Akalia, who then reviewed the list of grants provided by the Golden Eagle family while discussing with Lu Feng which items would be most suitable for him.

"Look, what do you think of this blueprint for the [Magic Guild]? Building this structure will provide you with spells suitable for your level. A one-star Magic Guild will provide basic spells, a two-star Magic Guild will provide intermediate spells, and so on. The higher the level of the Magic Guild, the better the quality of the spells it provides."

"It is said that someone once learned the legendary fire spell Doomsday Calamity in a high-level magic guild. Once cast, it plunges the enemy into a doomsday calamity, with immense power, making it an extremely powerful war spell!"

"The Magic Guild not only provides you with spells, but also helps cultivate spellcasters in the territory. Capable and talented citizens can also join the Magic Guild and comprehend the various spells available within the guild based on their own talents and abilities!"

Listening to Akalia's explanation, Lu Feng felt that the [Magic Guild] building was very suitable for his territory.

Besides helping him learn magic, Lu Feng also considered whether he could put the cultivation techniques and spells of the immortal cultivation world into the magic guild to help the residents of the territory comprehend the cultivation techniques and spells of the immortal cultivation world.

If possible, it would greatly increase the number of cultivators in his territory.

"Let's get a blueprint for the [Magic Guild] first, gather some resources, and build it to experience the power of this Magic Guild!"

Lu Feng nodded, instructing Akalia to first obtain the blueprint for the [Magic Guild], gather the necessary materials, and then build it to see the results.

Akalia nodded, agreeing with Lu Feng's idea. After looking at the other items, she selected a 1-star treasure for Lu Feng from the family's list: the [Undead Amulet].

Lu Feng obtained a 2-star vampire cloak from Lady Green's treasury. This undead amulet is a matching piece of equipment with the vampire cloak.

It is said that by combining it with another three-star undead treasure, the "Death Boots," one can forge the undead legendary treasure, the "Ghost King's Cloak."

After acquiring the Ghost King Cloak, the use of the Soul Summoning Technique undergoes a qualitative change, allowing one to summon a one-star undead creature from an ordinary monster corpse.

The undead creatures recruited from high-level corpses can possess even greater strength than the corpses did in life.

The Ghost King's Cloak is powerful, but also extremely difficult to obtain. Even if you collect all three pieces that make up the Ghost King's Cloak, the technique for crafting it is a closely guarded secret of the undead race.

To date, Akalya has never heard of any Ghost King Cloak existing outside the Undead Empire in the northern part of the Lord's World, even within the Golden Eagle family.

Even if the Ghost King's Cloak were leaked from the Undead Empire, the Undead Empire would send a large army to retrieve this legendary treasure and eliminate everyone who knew how the Ghost King's Cloak was made.

Although Lu Feng had some chance to learn how to forge the Ghost King's Cloak, the undead treasures like the Undead Amulet and the Vampire Cloak still brought him considerable benefits.

Using the Undead Amulet can enhance Lu Feng's necromancy.

Besides the two items that Lu Feng helped choose, Akalaya also selected some good things for her own territory.

She received a 2-star troop building, the Griffin Cage, from her family's financial support. This building allows Akalia to recruit 2-star Royal Griffins.

The Golden Eagle family is famous for its griffin riders, and Akalia, as a descendant of the Golden Eagle family, has done considerable research on the path of the griffin rider.

By recruiting knights from the territory and training them with Royal Griffins, you can train a two-star Royal Griffin Knight.

Royal Griffin Riders are flying units that can engage in close combat as well as cast electric spells such as Lightning Hammer and Chain Lightning, possessing considerable ranged attack capabilities.

Accompanying Lady Azure were a group of guards, including Wilson, who were all well-trained Royal Griffin Knights.

Once Akaleya has trained the Royal Griffin Knights, they will essentially be able to control the airspace in the surrounding area and dominate the battlefield.

After selecting these items, Akalia asked for a few more two-star equipment pieces and sent the list of supplies she needed through the communication array. After a short while, the small teleportation array lit up with silver spatial light.

"Clap!"

"coming!"

Akalia received what she wanted without incident, and with a smile, she took the items and divided the spoils with Lu Feng.

Lu Feng held the blueprints for the Magic Guild and examined the material requirements for building it.

[1-Star Magic Guild]

[Resource Requirements]: 2000 Bronze Soul Coins, 5000 Wood, 50 Sulfur
[Function]: Allows visiting citizens to learn basic spells from the Magic Guild.

[2-Star Magic Guild]

【资源需求】:500白银灵魂币、10000木材、100硫磺、50水晶、50宝石。

[Function]: Allows visiting citizens to learn intermediate spells from the Magic Guild.

"Wow! Such high resource requirements! This magic guild must be made of gold!"

Looking at the materials needed to build the magic guild, Lu Feng gasped and sighed.

Akalia peeked out, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly:
"Magic guilds are worth far more than gold; anything involving magical power is priceless! So, do you have enough resources? Do you need any help from me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng shook his head and said helplessly:

"It's alright. The resource requirements for a 1-star magic guild aren't high, and I have these things. It's just that the requirements for a 2-star magic guild are a bit too high! 500 units of silver soul coins is just too much. I need to start collecting them! I also need to find and collect 2-star resources like sulfur, water crystals, and gems!"

Building the Magic Guild is much more difficult than building the Bone Spire or the Haunted House he had previously constructed, requiring a large amount of precious two-star resources.

Crystals and gemstones contain a large amount of earth elemental power. They are only found in some medium-sized veins and are the essence of the veins. Their production is limited, and they are also precious spellcasting materials.

Sulfur contains a large amount of fire elemental power, and it is basically only produced in small quantities near volcanoes. In addition, it is said that there are many volcanoes in the harsh environment of hell, which can produce large quantities of sulfur.

Lu Feng's territory contains some mineral veins. When producing stone and metal ores, the quarries and mines occasionally yield one or two crystals or gemstones.

Lu Feng had saved up for a long time and only had 20 units of gems and 15 units of crystals, which was not enough to build a 2-star magic guild.

The most crucial material, sulfur, was something Lu Feng didn't have a single unit of. His neighborhood consisted mostly of forests and plains, with no volcanoes in sight, making it impossible to find a place to mine sulfur.

Lu Feng spoke casually, but to build a two-star magic guild, he would need to put in some effort to collect these precious resources.

"You can collect them first. The family provides me with a fair amount of basic resources, but for rare 2-star resources like sulfur, crystal, and gems, they only provide me with ten units of each per week. Once I've collected enough 2-star resources to build the griffin cage, the rest will be yours, brother!"

Akalia rummaged through his pockets, then looked at the family's rules regarding funding 2-star rare resources, and said with some regret.

Lu Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll think of a way and gather some information."

"We'll need quite a few of these rare 2-star resources during the construction phase of our 2-star territories. The resources your family provides each week aren't enough for our two territories. We need to find a stable source of these rare 2-star resources!"

The resources needed by the Magic Guild are only part of the total. The construction of various 2-star territory buildings in the future will also require these rare 2-star resources. Lu Feng can't rely on the Plain of Akalia forever; he needs to find a stable source of resources.

He acquired the blueprints of the Magic Guild and also gave Lu Feng the undead amulet that Akalia had obtained from her family.

The talisman for the dead is small, just a palm-sized domino, engraved with mysterious magical patterns that vaguely form a skull, or a burning soul fire, exuding a strong aura of death.

Holding the talisman in his hand, the aura of death emanating from it resonated with the vampire cloak in his Dao Foundation space; as their auras flowed, the two seemed indistinguishable.

With a thought, Lu Feng poured some Foundation Establishment True Essence into the Undead Protection Talisman, refined it, and sent it into his Dao Foundation Space.

The talisman that fell into the Dao Foundation space merged directly with the vampire cloak and hung on the collar of the vampire cloak.

With the two combined, Lu Feng suddenly felt that his newly learned soul-summoning technique had gained many new insights, and that it would be more efficient to recruit undead creatures from corpses in the future.

Holding the Undead Amulet, Akalia handed Lu Feng a set of 2-star armor, [Rock Solid Armor].

"This Rock Armor is an earth-attribute defensive armor with quite good defensive capabilities. It can increase the effect of defensive spells by 30%, and it also comes with a mid-level earth-type spell, Earth Guardian. Although it's not quite suitable for you, it's still a good item for protecting yourself!"

Akalia introduced the two-star armor, saying with some regret.

Similar to the rare resources of two-star treasures, Akalia can only obtain three two-star treasures from the Golden Eagle Family every month, and each time they are randomly teleported without the option to choose freely.

This time, Akalia obtained three 2-star treasures: the Rock Armor, the Medal of Courage, and the Golden Laurel.

Medals of Courage are a great way to boost the morale of your troops, and are a favorite item of human lords like Akalya.

Lu Feng's troops are all undead creatures, so they have no concept of morale. Even if he were given the Medal of Courage, he wouldn't be able to use it.

The Golden Laurel Crown is a treasure of the Light element, which can assist in cultivation, calm the mind, and resist some mental attacks, making it a perfect match for Akalia, a griffin knight who uses Light magic.

These two items are a perfect fit for Akalea, while the Rock Armored Landwind is barely usable.

However, once Lu Feng obtained the Rock Armor, he gave it to his hero, Iron Wall.

Hero Iron Arm excels in defensive techniques, and now he has even switched to the Bright Jade Technique. This earth-type armor is much more compatible with him than with Lu Feng's.

Moreover, with the protection provided by the "Unimpeded by Weapons" talisman from the Bone Spire and the city armor, Lu Feng's life safety was already quite guaranteed. In recent battles, Lu Feng had rarely used the Sunbird Emblem Shield.

Lu Feng was already thinking about when he could use the 2-star Sunbird Emblem Shield as material to refine it into the Bone Spire, thereby increasing the Bone Spire's defensive capabilities.

If the enemy can break through the defenses and armor of the Bone Spire, the presence or absence of this Rock Armor will not make a significant difference.

The Hero Iron Wall obtaining a two-star treasure will significantly boost his strength, and its enhanced defensive effects will make his undead army even more resilient.

There are many benefits.

After dealing with the treasures sponsored by the Golden Eagle family, Lu Feng and Akalia left the basement of the Golden Eagle Territory City Lord's Mansion.

They found Lady Azure and brought out the Zerg Queen they had obtained in the territory of the evil god.

The enormous female insect squeaked in the two people's hands, its insectoid aura emanating from it and affecting the surrounding environment, making people feel uncomfortable.

"This mother worm was captured from the center of the evil god lord's territory when we defeated him during a mission. It is the heart of that evil god lord's city!"

"I wonder if Lady Azure has any way to purify the insectoid aura on this City Heart, restore it to its original state, and turn it back into the City Heart!"

Lu Feng, holding the mother insect, asked Ms. Cang Lan.

When Lady Azure saw the large, fat female insect, she frowned slightly.

The Zerg Queen is not good-looking; just looking at her makes one feel disgusted. Coupled with the unpleasant Zerg aura emanating from her, no one would like this fat insect beast.

"Yes, it's possible. Among the advanced water spells I know, there's a purification spell that can completely remove the insectoid aura from the Heart of the City. The insectoid aura has already thoroughly tainted the Heart of the City, even transforming it into a living insect beast. After I purify the insectoid aura from this insectoid queen, how much power the Heart of the City will have left is an unknown!"

Ms. Azure checked on the mother insect's condition and said with a smile.

Purifying the heart of a city corrupted by the aura of the Zerg was not difficult for her, a high-level water mage.

"It's alright. It would be best if this City Heart could be used after purification, but it doesn't matter if it can't be used. Anyway, it didn't take much effort to obtain this City Heart!"

Neither Akalia nor Lu Feng insisted. They didn't care how the Heart of the City was purified, as long as it didn't have the aura of the Zerg and affect their daily lives and cultivation.

The insectoids from outside the Lord's World, upon entering the Lord's World, are defined as beings akin to evil gods.

The presence of these insectoid energies in the territories of Lu Feng and Akalaya will only sow the seeds of future trouble. If any of their subjects are corrupted or corrupted by the insectoid energies, it could lead to their downfall.

Secretly developing by utilizing the power of the Zerg will definitely cause considerable trouble for Golden Eagle Territory and Blackrock Territory.

That was a situation that Lu Feng and Akaleya did not want to see.

"Since you've all said so, then I'll confidently cast the purification spell and preserve as much of the City Heart's power as possible for you!"

Hearing Lu Feng and Akalia's words, Lady Azure felt relieved and boldly cast her purification spell.

Azure water magic gathered in the Azure Lady's hand, transforming into a pure light that fell upon the enormous mother insect in front of the three.

"squeak!"

There were still some vigorous, fat female insects on the other side. After the light of the purification spell fell on them, they immediately let out a shrill scream.

The sound was extremely sharp, as if it could pierce the sky, causing listeners to grieve and shed tears.

Even as the mother insect screamed in agony, she did not forget to use her mental power to interfere with Lu Feng and the others' perception, hoping to make them feel pity and spare her life.

"Noisy!"

Upon hearing the shrill sound, Lady Azure frowned. While maintaining the purification spell, she reached out and set up a water curtain to heavily surround the fat mother insect, isolating it from the mother insect's shrill screams and mental interference.

With the surroundings quieted down, Lu Feng and Akalia breathed a sigh of relief. The Zerg Queen's mental power was quite immense, reaching the level of 2 stars. Its screams and mental interference made the two of them feel disoriented and uncomfortable.

The surroundings quieted down, and the mother insect within the azure water curtain continued to endure the power of the purification spell.

The mother insect's enormous body slowly melted away under the light of the purification spell, releasing wisps of black insectoid aura. This black aura stubbornly resisted, attempting to break through the purification spell's blockade and contaminate everything around it. However, the Azure Woman gave it no chance to struggle; wisps of purification light shone, thoroughly purifying all the abundant aura.

Gradually, the fat mother insect stopped screaming and lost the strength to scream. Its plump body had turned into a pool of murky liquid, revealing the crystal-clear heart of the city within.

The light of the purification spell fell upon the heart of the city, purifying and removing the wisps of insectoid energy that had seeped deep into it. The light within the heart of the city was also rapidly dimming.

As the Zerg aura corrupted the Heart of the City, the Zerg's power became inextricably linked with the Heart of the City's power. At this moment, the purification spell was removing the Zerg's power, but in effect, it was also weakening the Heart of the City's power.

"Zizi!"

Once the last wisp of dark Zerg power was purified by the purification spell, there was no trace of the Zerg Queen in the azure water curtain. Only a dimly lit City Heart floated quietly in the light of the purification spell.

"Alright, I haven't disappointed you. I've purified this City Heart for you, and I've even preserved some of its power!"

After dispelling the azure water curtain and purification spell, Lady Azure handed the dimmed Heart of the City to Akalia, then smiled and said...

[Heart of the City - 2-Star White Plate]

The two-star status of the Heart of the City is teetering on the brink of collapse. The Zerg's power has severely damaged it. Now, without the Zerg's power, the Heart of the City is not yet broken, but it is not far from breaking.

"This City Heart is still usable, but you need to nourish it properly with the power of the people's will to slowly restore its condition. Using it carefully to build a 2-star territory shouldn't be a problem!"

Ms. Azure added her guidance.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Azure!"

Holding the dimmed Heart of the City, Lu Feng and Akalia thanked Lady Azure together.

A city heart is worth a lot of money for both Lu Feng and Akaleya.

Whether you build your own subordinate cities or try to sell them, both are good options.

Lady Azure did them a great favor.

However, Lady Azure didn't think much of it; to her, a purification spell was just a piece of cake.

Helping them now is enough; it leaves a good impression, and you'll always find a way to use it in the future.

Besides the mother insect, Ms. Azure also asked Lu Feng if there was anything else involving the insectoid race that needed to be purified.

When they were on a mission, they conquered a Zerg lord's territory, so there must have been more than just the queen Zerg as loot.

Knowing this, Ms. Canglan decided to go all the way and send Lu Feng and the others a few more purification spells to help them out.

Lady Azure's words delighted Lu Feng, who quickly retrieved the carapace of the War Insect from the Bone Spire.

The carapace left behind by this enormous war insect beast after its death is also a valuable item, a good material for refining magical artifacts and spirit weapons.

It's perfect for the Bone Spire.

But when Lady Azure saw the War Worm's enormous carapace, she still gave Lu Feng a resentful glare:
"Are you using me as a tool? You expect me to purify such a huge insect-like shell!"

Despite her words, Ms. Canglan did not refuse Lu Feng's request.

His hands moved without stopping, condensing purification spells that transformed into a massive beam of purifying light, which landed on the carapace of the war demon insect.

"Zizi!"

The carapace of the War Worm is, after all, an inanimate object. Unlike the massive mother worm, the Zerg power on it is not tenacious.

Before Lady Azure's purification spell, they were quickly purified, turning into wisps of black smoke that rose up and disappeared into the light of the purification spell.

After the entire carapace of the War Demon Insect was completely purified, Lady Azure remained relaxed and at ease, demonstrating her superb magical skills.

The purified War Demon Insect's carapace was no longer pitch black, but a metallic silver-white, tough and with a certain strength.

Zerg units consume a certain amount of metal upon spawning, which is then digested, absorbed, and integrated into their carapace, transforming it into a special bio-metal.

It possesses the characteristics of biological carapaces as well as the hardness and strength of metal. After purification, it loses the power of the insectoid race. Although it will be somewhat weaker in essence, it is still an excellent material for crafting armor and shield-type magical artifacts.

After being purified, the shell shrank by 30-40% in size, but it was still enormous. In front of Lady Azure, Lu Feng also summoned his Bone Spire.

He led Daoist Yu Chan and others in casting spells, activating the Fire Array of the Five Elements Suppressing Spirit Array, drawing in the Great Sun True Fire from the sky to transform into fire crows, which scorched and refined the carapace of the War Demon Insect.

The appearance of Yu Chan Dao Ren and others also made Lady Cang Lan take a slight look. This was the first time Lady Cang Lan had seen a soldier of this caliber as Yu Chan Dao Ren.

Judging from his performance these past few days, Ms. Canglan believed that Lu Feng was just a mage who had crafted his own mage tower and was also proficient in necromancy and spatial magic.

However, judging from the methods Lu Feng has shown so far, this disciple of Ms. Green also has some unique methods of his own.

"No wonder Ms. Green took him as her disciple; the Golden Eagle family's rating system also gave him a very high score."

As Ms. Canglan pondered Lu Feng's situation, she slightly increased his importance in her mind.

Thinking this, Ms. Canglan turned her gaze to the actions of Lu Feng and the others.

The fire crows summoned the true fire of the sun, which burned fiercely, distorting the surrounding air. The carapace of the war demon insects slowly began to melt and drip down under the scorching heat of these flames.

The skeletal spire landed next to the carapace of the war demon insect. Lu Feng guided drops of carapace liquid, performing hand seals of the Zhou Tian Qian Kun True Technique to refine the carapace liquid into the skeletal spire.

Time passed second by second, and the War Worm's enormous carapace grew smaller and smaller, as these disappearing carapaces slowly merged into the Bone Spire.

It took about two days and two nights for the War Worm's huge carapace to completely disappear in front of the Bone Spire, and the white Bone Spire was now covered with a layer of silvery-white metallic luster.

"We've only just begun refining the shell material into the Bone Spire. Next, we need to continue refining it, infusing it with more magical incantations to fuse the material with the Bone Spire and accelerate its upgrade."

After refining the carapace of the War Demon Insect, Jade Cicada Daoist and the others gave Lu Feng some instructions.

Lu Feng nodded and returned Yu Chan and the others to the Bone Spire. Akalia came to his side and said:

"After helping you purify the carapace of the War Insects, Lady Azure watched you for a while as you crafted the Bone Spire before returning with her entourage!"

Akalia was fine for the time being. After seeing off Lady Azure, she returned to Lu Feng's side and accompanied him to complete the simple ritual of the Bone Spire.

"It's such a pity that Lady Azure is gone. She was a high-level water mage of three stars. If only we could have squeezed some more money out of her!"

Lu Feng and Akalia joked.

"You wish! Don't let Lady Azure hear you, or she'll teach you a lesson."

Akalia and Lu Feng returned to Golden Eagle Territory, chatting and laughing.

In the days that followed, Lu Feng and Akalia began collecting 2-star rare resources and silver soul coins.

The 2-star building [Griffin Cage] built by Akalea requires 10 Silver Soul Coins, 10 Crystals, 2000 Wood, and 3000 Stone.

Lu Feng collected some Silver Soul Coins from the 2-star Insect Beast after defeating the Evil God Lord.

Lu Feng directly gave 10 silver soul coins to Akalia.

Akalia rummaged through her own savings and pulled out six crystals. She then asked Lu Feng for six more crystals, bringing her total to 10 units of crystals, enough to meet the material requirements for the [Griffin Cage].

A massive construction project was underway in Golden Eagle Territory. Akalya brought over the best builders in the territory to construct the Griffin Cage, which was completed in just two or three days.

A towering building, interwoven with silver and gold and featuring a distinct eagle head, rises from the Golden Eagle Territory. Eagle cries echo from within, and a ferocious beast dwells there, its imposing presence terrifying.

【Griffin Cage - 2 stars】

[Building Description]: Allows the lord to recruit Royal Griffin Knights by consuming Silver Soul Coins and Wood.

[Production] 3 units/week

The Griffin Cage is a two-star building that can recruit three Royal Griffin Knights per week, which is one unit more than the Haunted House in Lu Feng's possession.

Lu Feng then handed Akalya three silver soul coins, along with some ordinary wood, and quickly recruited all the griffon cage's weekly output.

"Fight for the glory of the Golden Eagle family!"

A flash of golden light appeared in the griffin cage, and three enormous royal griffins, carrying their knights, strode out of the cage to pledge their loyalty to their lord, Akalya.

"Good good!"

Akalia grinned from ear to ear as she looked at the three Royal Griffin Knights standing close at hand.

The ordinary griffin riders in her hands were utterly inferior to the royal griffin riders recruited from this griffin cage.

The royal griffin is almost three times the size of a regular griffin, with sharp claws and teeth, powerful wings, keen eyes, and a majestic presence.

Seeing this, Lu Feng even wanted to keep two magnificent royal griffins in his own skeletal spire; no one could resist such a royal griffin.

"From now on, he is your master!"

Akalia noticed the gleam in Lu Feng's eyes. She had a royal griffin knight dismount from the royal griffin and transfer ownership of it to Lu Feng.

"You've given me quite a few materials, enough to recruit several Royal Griffin Knights! I see you like Royal Griffins, so I'll give this Royal Griffin to you for now, hehe!"

"You really understand me best! Haha!"

Lu Feng laughed and did not refuse Akalaya's offer, directly accepting the Royal Griffin transferred by Akalaya.

Touching the feathers of the magnificent royal griffin, Lu Feng flipped himself onto the griffin and let it carry him soaring through the sky, experiencing a different feeling from flying on his own.

"No wonder so many powerful cultivators in the mythology of the cultivation world like to raise one or two mounts. It turns out that flying on a mount and flying on your own are two completely different feelings..."

Akaleya also rode a griffin into the sky, soaring through the heavens with the land breeze.

After having their fill of fun in the sky and fully experiencing the joy of flying on a griffin, the two returned to the ground.

"Now that the griffin cage is built, the next step is to help you build your magic guild! I remember that building your magic guild requires a lot of sulfur. Do you have a reliable source of sulfur?"

After they finished playing, Akalia and Lu Feng discussed the Magic Guild with some concern.

Akalia knew better than anyone the situation with Lu Feng's Black Stone Territory and her Golden Eagle Territory. There wasn't a single volcano in either of their territories, making it virtually impossible to find or collect sulfur.

"Should we wait for the resources distributed by the family every month, or should we try to go to a city on the border of the Leiden Empire to buy and exchange them for sulfur!"

Akaleya pondered the matter, growing increasingly distressed.

"Don't worry too much, I might have a way. There's a fissure passage in my territory that leads to the underground. I've heard that there's a lot of underground magma in the underground world, and there might be places where sulfur is produced!"

Lu Feng also seriously considered the ways to obtain sulfur, and combined with the actual situation in Blackstone Territory, he came up with a solution.

"A fissure passage leading to the underground!"

Akalia was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as if she saw a vast fortune beckoning to her:
"A rift passage to the underground world—that's a treasure! The underground world has its own unique environment and resources. If we could open a rift passage and establish a foothold there, the trade between the two worlds alone would be enough to make our families incredibly wealthy!"

Akalia became excited and, led by Lu Feng, arrived at the region where the Dark Territory had once been located.

Over the years, the area where Undercity is located has become the domain of the undead creatures of Blackrock Territory.

Various undead creatures' buildings, evil temples, and graveyards are everywhere. The dense aura of death gathers into black mist that obscures the sky, creating a special environment similar to a dark curtain.

Although it differs greatly from the true Dark Curtain of the Undead, this pseudo-Dark Curtain has begun to take shape thanks to the persistent research of the necromancer Smolder.

Akalia, brimming with light magic, arrived on a griffin. As she rushed towards the dense aura of death near the Dark Territory, she immediately felt uneasy.

"The aura of death is quite strong here. Don't leave my side. With me here, I can shield you from the impact of this death aura!"

Lu Feng moved closer to Akalia and manipulated the Bone Spire to amplify its protective power, enveloping Akalia within it. With the Bone Spire's protection, shutting out the aura of death, Akalia immediately felt much more comfortable.

"Truly worthy of being a lord of the undead race, he has managed this place to be just like the world of the dead!"

Akaleya looked around at the things here and sighed.

Deeper into the area, Akalia and Lu Feng soon arrived at the underground rift in the Dark Territory.

A tall brick and stone wall was built here, firmly enclosing the entrance to the underground fissure. The walls were filled with undead creatures, ensuring that no monster emerging from the underground fissure could escape their encirclement.

A skeleton captain, transformed into an undead hero, is stationed here. His entire skeleton is black, earning him the nickname "Black Bone."

Upon seeing Lu Feng's arrival, the hero Blackbone respectfully bowed and said, "Welcome, Lord, for your inspection!"

"Ok!"

Lu Feng nodded to Hei Gu, instructing him to continue guarding the area.

Blackbone was just a one-star silver skeleton captain, not particularly strong, but he was a hero who could command undead creatures. With some one-star silver undead creatures eliminated from the Ironwall undead army, he could firmly block the exit of this underground rift.

"This is the underground fissure. The monsters that emerge from it aren't very strong; most of them are ordinary, with only the occasional 1-star monster appearing!"

Akalia and Lu Feng walked up the city wall. They arrived at just the right time, as a group of monsters emerged from an underground fissure. Before these monsters could cause much trouble, they were swarmed by the undead army guarding the entrance and torn to shreds.

After eliminating these monsters, Blackbone then directed the undead creatures to methodically clean up the battlefield and process the spoils.

"There shouldn't be many powerful monsters in the underground space connected by this underground fissure. I didn't have time to deal with this underground fissure before, but now that I have the time and the need, we can go down and take a look!"

Lu Feng gazed at the bottomless darkness within the underground fissure and spoke to Akaleya.

"Okay, I'll go back and make some preparations. Let's set a time to explore this underground fissure together and try to discover a resource-rich underground space so we can make a fortune!"

Akalia laughed happily. Although she had received financial support from her family, she still hadn't forgotten her greedy nature and loved making big money and saving up her own little treasury.

After learning about the actual situation of the underground fissure, Lu Feng and Akaleya went back to prepare.
