Landlord Era: I can upgrade my entries

Chapter 147 Shelter from Wind and Snow, Blood and Courage Resonate [4k]

Blue Star Academy, the current principal is Principal Bai Yao. Lu Changqing is not sure of her specific strength, but she still has the support of the Bei family. "The academy has been established, but it can't recruit too many students."

Qi Yue recalled the opening ceremony of the academy, where most of the attendees were people who came from Weicheng to Tianjing City, with very few from Tianjing City.

When Blue Star Academy opened, it only enrolled a dozen or so classes, with about four hundred students.

"I see."

Lu Changqing nodded slightly. He had anticipated this situation, after all, the atmosphere in Tianjing City was different from that in Weicheng.

To put it simply, Blue Star Academy is currently experiencing some difficulties adapting to the local environment.

In the Acropolis, Blue Star Academy used to have over a hundred classes per year, but now it has only enrolled a dozen or so.

"By the way, has anyone been looking for me?"

Lu Changqing took out a storage ring and asked Qi Yue.

"without."

Qi Yue shook her head slightly. She had met Wang Hui and Bei Xiaoxing at Blue Star Academy, but they only chatted briefly.

Apart from that, she either cultivates or stays in the Changqing Tower.

"Okay, here are the goods for next month."

"If the Lan family, the Bei family, and the Ye family come, give them their share."

Lu Changqing handed the ring to Qi Yue and gave her instructions.

"My lord, I understand."

Qi Yue accepted the ring and nodded gently. This ring contained hundreds of spirit flames, starstones, and a large number of spirit plants, among other things.

These items represent a month's worth of supplies that Lu Changqing left for Changqinglou.

As for spirit fire, it remains limited in quantity each day.

After giving instructions to Qi Yue, Lu Changqing left Changqing Tower and headed towards Tongbao Pavilion.

He had just checked the ring Qi Yue had given him; its monthly earnings were roughly around 50,000 mid-grade star crystals.

However, Lu Changqing provided a larger quantity of starstones this time, so the profits next month may be even higher.

The person who greeted Lu Changqing was still Xiao An, just like last time.

"My lord, you've arrived!"

When Xiao An saw Lu Changqing, her eyes lit up, and she quickly came to greet him.

"Okay, give me the Tongbao Illustrated Guide."

Lu Changqing nodded slightly and began to speak fluently.

"Are there any hundred-year-old Mystic Heart Vine left?"

While browsing the encyclopedia, he asked Xiao An a question.

As a service staff member of Tongbaoge, Xiao An is quite familiar with the various resources of Tongbaoge.

Last time he bought a hundred-year-old Mysterious Heart Vine, he bought almost all of them, and he doesn't know if there are any left.

"Tongbao Pavilion did acquire a batch of Xuanxin Vine recently, but we may need to select the hundred-year-old ones."

Xiao An nodded. The Mysterious Heart Vine is a relatively popular item. Inside the Mysterious Heart Vine, there is a liquid that can be used to assist in cultivation.

Tongbao Pavilion usually keeps a considerable amount in stock, but she still had some doubts about Lu Changqing's needs.

After all, there isn't much difference between a hundred-year-old Xuanxin Vine and a regular, mature Xuanxin Vine, and their prices are similar.

"I want as many 500-year-old Mystic Heart Vine as you can get."

Lu Changqing looked at her and said.

"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll arrange for someone to screen them!"

Upon hearing Lu Changqing's words, Xiao An went to arrange for people to select century-old Xuanxin Vine.

Lu Changqing then checked the catalog of the Tongbao Illustrated Book.

"Third-tier spiritual plants also require the Yang attribute."

Lu Changqing found the catalog of spirit plants and flipped directly to the section on third-tier spirit plants.

Azure Water Bamboo, Buddha's Hand Grass—one after another, the names of third-tier spiritual plants came into Lu Changqing's view.

After browsing for a while, Lu Changqing finally found the third-tier Yang attribute spiritual plant he was looking for.

Flame Crystal Fruit Tree.

A third-tier Yang-attribute spiritual plant, consuming the Flame Crystal Fruit can not only temper the body but also enhance the fire and Yang attributes of the phenomenon.

Lu Changqing glanced at the price, his eyes narrowing slightly.

These third-tier spiritual plants are actually worth 100,000 low-grade star crystals.

The price left Lu Changqing speechless.

It should be noted that ordinary second-tier spiritual plants are only worth about one hundred star crystals.

As a result, upon reaching the third tier, it actually reached 100,000, worth 1,000 mid-grade star crystals.

"My lord, the hundred-year-old Mystic Heart Vine you requested has been prepared."

At this moment, Xiao An came back, holding a spatial bag in her hand, and said to Lu Changqing.

"Xiao An, why are these third-tier spiritual plants so expensive?"

Lu Changqing pointed to the Flame Crystal Fruit in the illustration and asked her.

"My lord, it's like this: cultivating spirit plants that reach the third tier is extremely troublesome."

"Not only do they require a special growing environment, but they also need special spiritual spring water to irrigate them. Basically, only cave-heaven level landowners have the ability to cultivate third-tier spiritual plants."

After Xiao An's explanation, Lu Changqing frowned slightly.

Tier 3 spiritual plants are not impossible to cultivate, but due to special requirements that many landlords cannot meet, most Tier 3 spiritual plants are cultivated by cave-heaven level landlords.

Therefore, this price is clearly inflated.

"As expected, the most suitable spiritual plants for exchanging Origin Points are still first-tier spiritual plants."

Lu Changqing considered it in his mind. Although the points exchanged for first-tier spiritual plants were few, they were easy to cultivate and the price was not expensive.

If you use a Tier 3 spiritual plant, the cost is completely disproportionate to the source points you gain.

Even a second-tier Mystic Heart Vine requires a long period of cultivation.

"We still need to obtain the Origin Pearl from the myriad worlds!"

A thought flashed through Lu Changqing's mind: a first-tier Origin Pearl could be exchanged for a thousand Origin Points, which was much faster than exchanging for spirit plants.

I don't know how the Primal Pearl was formed. If we could produce it ourselves, then—

Thinking of this, Lu Changqing couldn't help but shake his head, shaking the thought out of his mind.

Last time in the post-apocalyptic world, I only obtained three first-tier origin beads. I don't know how these things are formed.

"Sir, do you wish to cultivate third-tier spiritual plants?"

Seeing that Lu Changqing's gaze was fixed on the Flame Crystal Fruit, Xiao An couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, I'd really like to give it a try."

Lu Changqing nodded slightly. These third-tier Flame Crystal Fruits can not only be used for cultivation, but also the Xuanming Beast Pool needs Yang-attribute spiritual plants to condense Netherworld Spiritual Fire.

During this month, although Lu Changqing was in seclusion, he still instructed Wang Yuyan to keep an eye on the Xuanming Beast Pool.

Originally, condensing the Azure Spirit Flame required consuming hundreds or even thousands of Three-Leaf Sunflowers. Now that the Beast Pool has reached the third rank, the consumption of Three-Leaf Sunflowers is even more terrifying.

It took tens of thousands of three-leaf yang plants to condense three hundred nether flames, which then split into nine hundred nether blue flames.

Furthermore, tests have shown that even if others obtain three Azure Spirit Flames, they will still be unable to condense a Tier 3 Netherworld Spirit Flame.

These things were all recorded by Wang Yuyan in a jade slip, and he had seen them.

"My lord, cultivating these Flame Crystal Fruits is quite troublesome."

"It not only needs soil with richer spiritual energy, but also needs to be watered with spiritual spring water containing fire element."

"In addition, it can provide spiritual fire, allowing it to absorb the power of spiritual fire."

Xiao An made no attempt to hide anything and explained the planting requirements for the Flame Crystal Fruit to Lu Changqing.

These are not secrets. As long as you buy a Tier 3 spiritual plant from Tongbao Pavilion, they will provide you with a planting manual.

After all, third-tier spiritual plants are not cheap.

"Give me fifty Flame Crystal Fruits first."

After listening to her story, Lu Changqing immediately decided to buy it.

He possesses all three: soil, spiritual spring, and spiritual fire, perfectly meeting the cultivation requirements for the Flame Crystal Fruit.

"Sir, are you sure?"

Xiao An was somewhat surprised to hear Lu Changqing's words. After all, in her opinion, these third-tier spiritual plants were really difficult to cultivate, and what she had just said was meant to offer some advice.

"Yes, I'm sure."

Lu Changqing nodded. This Flame Crystal Fruit is very useful and very suitable.

Fifty Flame Crystal Fruits, equivalent to a month's profit for Changqinglou, were consumed in this way.

"If it weren't for Changqing Tower, I really wouldn't be able to afford a third-tier spiritual plant."

Lu Changqing clicked his tongue in amazement. His income had far surpassed that of an ordinary landlord, but the higher his rank, the more he spent.

Last time, Lu Changqing still had some star crystals left on him, but this time he spent them all.

After purchasing various infrastructure resources, Lu Changqing finally left Tongbao Pavilion.

"Now that we're penniless again, it's time to pave a new path to stardom."

Lu Changqing stood outside Tongbao Tower and sighed softly.

I wonder when Changqinglou will develop to the level of Tongbaolou. By then, it probably won't be so short of resources anymore.

Back at Changqing Tower, Lu Changqing once again plunged into the underground space.

After a month of settling, the changes in the geographical space are enormous.

With the complete establishment of Yanhuang City, the majority of its inhabitants are still humans, since people like the Five Elements Spirit Clan mostly live in their own territories.

With a population of nearly one million, Yanhuang City is already a large city.

The construction of the next city has already begun.

This new city is located 100 kilometers away from Yanhuang City.

According to the original plan, it should have been fifty square kilometers, but Jia Xu revised the plan and finally set it at over one hundred square kilometers.

Furthermore, this city was built specifically for the Five Elements Spirit Clan. Both its style and other aspects were designed in consultation between Shi Hao and the Five Elements Spirit Clan.

In addition to these, several new buildings have appeared in the area.

Tianshan Palace, the headquarters of the Ling Palace, was built by the craftsmen themselves.

【Shelter from Wind and Snow】: The area around the main hall is filled with icy air, increasing the speed of cultivating ice-attribute techniques by 10%, and inside the main hall, one will not be troubled by inner demons.

The architectural design of this Tianshan Palace was obtained from the world of the Mountain Kui Clan, and it is also a first-class building.

Because of the icy moon in the sky, the earth occasionally experiences cold air, which causes snowfall in the earth at certain times.

The snow at the location of Tianshan Palace has never melted, creating a unique landscape.

In addition to the Tianshan Hall of Lingjiu Palace, two new buildings have been added to the Earthly Realm.

One was a military barracks, and the other was a spirit brick factory.

The barracks were built on the west side of Yanhuang City, located between Yanhuang City and the Forest of Demons.

The three military camps are arranged in a triangular shape, with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Qiao Feng each occupying one.

At the entrance of the barracks, there were two illusory blood-red flags, which gave people a sense of solemnity.

Ironblood Barracks Grade: First Grade Building Attribute: Blood Courage Resonance Description: Omitted [Blood Courage Resonance]: The barracks has its own battle aura, which can temper the will of the soldiers, and it also has its own training ground for simulated training.

All three barracks share the same name and can provide soldiers with simulated training.

Normally, Zhao Yun and his two companions would train and cultivate their troops there.

Their experiences in the post-apocalyptic world spurred Zhao Yun and his companions to train even harder. However, Zhao Yun's strength did not break through to the late stage of the second tier, while Huang Zhong and Qiao Feng both entered the middle stage and caught up with Zhao Yun.

Lu Changqing returned to the Netherworld and, feeling the changes that had taken place over the past month, his face grew increasingly satisfied.

This month of reflection is extremely important; it's a process of digesting resources and steadily growing.

"It's time to test the waters with the second-order boundary compass!"

Lu Changqing sat in the main hall, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

Sensing Jia Xu's location, a message was transmitted.

On the top floor of the Hall of Merit, Jia Xu was drinking tea, looking quite relaxed.

Suddenly, his expression turned serious, and he stood up abruptly.

"Our lord has emerged from seclusion!"

"Our lord is about to open a new star path, and the world he's connecting to this time is very dangerous!"

With a serious expression on his face, Jia Xu then arrived at the core of the Hall of Merit.

The Merit Pavilion has been upgraded to the third rank with the attribute "Commanding the World". There is a special room on the top floor.

This room is the core of the Hall of Merit.

Upon entering this special room, Jia Xu was greeted by a unique spherical object.

Jia Xu walked to the sphere and then focused his consciousness into it.

[Special Quest Series: Plunder the Fragments of the Heavens!]

[Mission Requirements: Collect all resources in the fragmented world! Population, spiritual plants, and mineral veins!]

[Caution: This mission is extremely dangerous; do not accept it blindly!]

A message was transmitted directly through the spherical object in front of them.

Inside Yanhuang City.

At the same time, everyone felt the vibration of their identity jade pendant.

In an instant, a message was transmitted to everyone in the Earthly Realm.

Inside the barracks.

"Our Lord is about to open a new celestial path!"

Zhao Yun's face lit up with excitement upon hearing the information conveyed by the identity jade token.

"Summon all soldiers and prepare for battle!"

The sound rang out in Zhao Yun's barracks, and instantly, all the soldiers were excited.

They also received information about the special mission.

They had been training in the barracks for nearly half a month, and their spears were eager for battle.

The same scene unfolded in the other two barracks.

The Five Elements Spirit Clan, the Star Skeleton Clan, the Mountain Demon Clan, and so on, all received the special mission prompts conveyed by Jia Xu.

In an instant, everyone headed towards the location of the Hall of Merit.

Quanzhen Temple.

"Qing'er, it's time to emerge from seclusion!"

Ma Yu's soft voice carried into the cultivation room, and after a moment, a beautiful figure walked out from it.

"Sect Leader!"

Su Qing'er bowed slightly to Ma Yu, then held the identity jade token in her hand.

"As expected of the Dao Child chosen by the Lord, he has already entered the late stage!"

Sensing Su Qing'er's aura, Ma Yu said with a smile.

Su Qing'er, like him, is currently in the late stage of the second tier.

Su Qing'er, who was fully focused on cultivation, made great progress in her strength.

"This mission is very dangerous."

Ma Yu said to Su Qing'er, "Jia Xu marked this mission as dangerous, which means it's definitely not an ordinary fragmented world."

"I'm not afraid."

Su Qing'er shook her head, her eyes resolute.

"Alright, then I'll entrust the leadership of the Quanzhen Sect disciples to you this time."

Ma Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile.

At this moment, Lu Changqing's consciousness sensed every part of the earthly space through the imprint.

Following Jia Xu's announcement, the entire territory became abuzz with excitement.

Inside the Hall of Merit, a series of missions were also released.

These tasks include exploring mineral veins, mining mineral veins, and searching for spiritual plants, among others.

These tasks had all been prepared by Jia Xu in advance, all for this very moment.

"The existence of the Hall of Merit can greatly enhance the vitality of various races in the Earthly Realm."

Lu Changqing smiled and then walked to the edge of the chaotic membrane.

A second-order boundary compass appeared in Lu Changqing's hand.

Consciousness activated the spatial imprint of the boundary, and then a dazzling light descended from the sky, landing on the boundary compass.

A moment later, a wide, illusory star path appeared before Lu Changqing.

If the star path opened up by the first-order boundary compass is a narrow path, then the second-order boundary compass opens up a road with two lanes.
