That's right, this notice from the City Lord's Mansion is a toll notice.
From now on, Yongyang City will charge a city fee. Nascent Soul and below are free of charge, and Nascent Soul and above will be charged a thousand high-grade spiritual stones each time they enter the city.
As soon as the announcement came out, there was naturally an uproar. Those who did not exceed the Nascent Soul stage were fine, but those who exceeded it complained and secretly cursed the Supreme Heaven for being unkind.
But no matter how unhappy people are, the rules that have been set will not be modified.
same year.
The Supreme Heavenly Treasure Hall was split and reorganized.
It consists of six branches: Xuanqi Building, Xuandan Building, Xuanjin Building, Wanfa Building, Ziyuan Building and Commercial Building.
The master of Xuanqi Building is the weapon Tao, the master of Xuandan Building is Dan Tao, the master of Xuanjin Building is the forbidden array, the master of Wanfa Building is the inheritance of skills, the master of Resource Building is the exchange of resources within the sect, and the master of Shang Building is foreign trade.
Ke Mi changed from the original owner of Duobao Building to the owner of Commercial Building, with full responsibility for foreign trade, while Shen Xiu took over the Ziyuan Building.
Ke Mi took the initiative and took the lead in Yongyang City to establish Wanbao Bank and several Wanbao restaurants.
At this point, the commercial building has taken the first step in expanding its territory.
Lu Li's tenth year of seclusion.
Huxian City, the largest city in the eastern part of Dongxuan, also completely fell into the hands of the Supreme Heaven, and a new order was established.
In Lu Li's twentieth year of seclusion, an army of 300,000 monks from the Zhentian Palace went south and captured Yi'an, the first city in the central part of Dongxuan, and confiscated countless resources. Decide on the totem, set up the golden seal of the city lord, and establish rules and order.
Two years later, Yi'an was on the right track, and Wanbaoxing and Wanbao Restaurant followed suit, taking over from the original Tianbao Pavilion and becoming the largest chamber of commerce restaurant in Yi'an.
Five years later, the army continued to move south and captured Fangyuan City, the first city in the south.
So far, four of the five major cities have fallen into the hands of the Supreme Heaven.
In Lu Li's fiftieth year of seclusion, the army marched northwest and took Heping City, the last super big city.
In this battle, they encountered strong resistance from the major families in Heping, as well as many strong casual cultivators, who vowed to fight to the death with the Supreme Heaven. After the battle, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and corpses littered the fields outside Heping City.
In the end, the Zhentian Palace expeditionary army killed 300,000 monks in Heping City at the cost of 50,000 casualties.
Feng Tingzong angrily ordered the whole city to be cordoned off. All the families who participated in the resistance would be eradicated. Those who were not killed would be wanted throughout the world and will be arrested until death!
As a result, Heping City directly became a purgatory on earth. The army entered the city, the blood of all the major families flowed into rivers, and the fishy smell that reached the sky did not dissipate for three months.
Because of this battle, the army of monks in the Shenwei Tower of Zhentian Palace finally gained some iron-blooded spirit and were no longer as soft as before.
Five cities are determined, and the rest are the small and medium-sized cities.
This kind of city is relatively easy to deal with. The Shenwei Tower army divided into several groups and pushed across from west to east. It took thirty years to finally include all the cities that were attractive to the territory.
At this point, all directions are settled, and the vast and mysterious world has completely fallen into the palm of the Supreme Heaven.
And the three words "Supreme Heaven" are also spread all over the cities along with the Ding Dzi Pearl, and are known to all living beings in the world. As time went by, people gradually accepted the existence of the Supreme God and began to feel proud to join the Supreme God.
When Lu Li was in seclusion for the 150th year, the scale of the Supreme Heaven was already terrifying.
There are three million disciples, six hundred thousand inner disciples who are combined and above, four thousand earthly immortals, and three hundred true immortals.
It is comparable to the sum of dozens of sects in the Immortal Realm outside the first layer of heaven.
And this year, eight of the nine Taoist seedlings in Lu Li's dantian have reached the peak of Earth Immortality, and only the last fire-attributed seedling is still at the advanced stage.
An'an's Zongji Building has been the busiest in recent years, because new people join from time to time, and there are personnel changes from time to time. Therefore, even though there are hundreds of halls under the Zongji Building, it still feels overwhelmed.
But fortunately, the busiest time has finally passed, and she finally has some leisure time.
"Greetings, young master!"
In front of the small house in the center of Lingyan Lake, An An had just arrived when a tall, well-dressed woman appeared at the door and saluted An An with a cupped fist.
"Sister Liu Xi, where is my master? He hasn't come out of seclusion yet." An An glanced at the direction of the main room behind Liu Xi.
"Your Majesty is still in retreat." Liu Xi said calmly.
"Oh, well, if the master comes to see me, tell him for me and tell him that I went up there to retreat." An An said, pointing to a peak surrounding him in the distance.
"Yes." Liu Xi cupped his fists and said.
An An glanced in the direction of the east room, then his body flashed and turned into a white light and soared into the sky.
Liu Xi walked back to the main room and continued to sit on the floor and practice.
Life like this is boring, but it is good for Liu Xi, because her contribution here is very high, and it won't be long before she can exchange it for a middle-grade innate treasure, and her cultivation will be able to reach a higher level.
Spring passed and autumn came, and it had been more than fifty years. Lu Li worked hard and practiced hard, and finally lived up to his expectations and raised all nine attribute Dao seedlings to the peak of Earth Immortal.
As for Space Avenue, because the five elements reached their peak at the same time, coupled with the accumulation of previous insights, they subsequently broke through the peak level of Earth Immortal.
Lu Li did not leave seclusion.
It took another ten years to upgrade the elixir fire to the Earth Immortal level, and spent three years reviewing the refining of various elixirs. Finally, feeling confident, he began to refine the Night Ming Dan.
It is worth mentioning that the Earth Immortal is a threshold for the advancement of Alchemy Fire.
According to records in some ancient books, the elixir fire that reaches the Earth Immortal level is regarded as fairy fire. It does not need to be specially cultivated in the future, and it will automatically increase in intensity along with its own cultivation level.
Unless you want to cross-level alchemy and weapon refining, otherwise, it is enough to let the alchemy fire grow on its own.
The materials for the Night Ming Pill were hard to come by. Although Lu Li had cultivated more of them in the medicine garden over the years, reaching thirty-five groups, he did not dare to squander them casually.
After all, he was not a professional in elixir refining, not to mention that this level of elixir could be considered an elixir, and he had never refined it before.
There are as many as eighteen kinds of materials for the Night Ming Pill, six of which are elixirs and twelve of which are first-level elixirs. The order cannot be messed up, and the refining temperature and time cannot be wrong at all.
Otherwise, all previous efforts may be wasted.
Because this was the result of countless experiments, Lu Li didn't want to come up with any original innovations and waste materials and time.
At the same time, Lu Li secretly admired that the person who researched the recipe for Ye Ming Dan could actually experiment with such a complicated combination and finally turn it into a pill, and come up with such a magical elixir as Ye Ming Dan.
Under Lu Li's careful control, the refining of the first six materials went very smoothly.
But what he didn't expect was that as the seventh elixir was put into the furnace, the essence of the elixir that had been refined inside suddenly turned dark, causing Lu Li to feel pain in his body.
Moreover, he folded in the same place twice in a row, and Lu Li had to stop and study the problem carefully.
After studying for a long time, Lu Li finally found the key.
It turned out that it was due to the conflict between the stems, leaves and roots of the seventh elixir, 'Purple Mystic Grass'. When Lu Li only took the roots of Purple Mystic Grass for refining, this problem did not exist.
This point is not stated in the prescription. In other words, only the roots of Zi Xuan Cao can be used, not the stems and leaves.
However, this also made Lu Li secretly worried.
Although the refining can continue, will there be any problems with the completed elixir? After all, the prescription does not say that only the roots of Purple Mystic Grass are taken.
