Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

As soon as I stepped out of the teleportation array, I saw countless busy figures moving about inside and outside Qingyuan Town. Unlike Zhenlong City, which had been developed over many years, Qingyuan City was temporarily decided to be promoted to a county town, so many of its infrastructure facilities were not yet fully developed.

Nearly 300,000 artisans worked in shifts day and night to continuously improve the system.

Unlike True Dragon City, Azure Abyss City is much larger because it is surrounded by deep mountains and forests. The surrounding peaks are unclaimed, and the ferocious beasts that once occupied them have long been wiped out by the Great Wilderness Territory.

Lin Mu quickly surveyed the area and found that everything was progressing very well.

The temple, the Xuanwu Shrine, and other buildings have been completed. There are also five training grounds suitable for the Jizhou army to train and garrison, distributed in other valleys around the main valley.

Unlike True Dragon City, Qingyuan City has too many mountains, making transportation within the city quite inconvenient. Farmland is also scarce.

Of course, Qingyuan City does not plan to vigorously develop paddy field agriculture, but rather to develop mountain planting, including fruit trees, herbs, and so on.

The Celestial Village Building Order [Celestial Craftsman's Order] provides a significant boost to secondary professions within the territory. It has four attributes, the first of which is the most powerful:

Specific Attribute 1: [Heavenly Craftsman Power]: Increases the craftsman's rank by one level, up to the Grandmaster level (this type of attribute can only be increased once per craftsman's lifetime).

This attribute has already been used on an overseas island, and some of the artisans from the Great Wilderness Territory have migrated there and directly advanced in rank.

However, the highest level of advancement, Grandmaster, is not achieved simply by joining. One still needs to meet basic Grandmaster-level breakthrough conditions, such as comprehending one's own Dao, achieving master-level proficiency, and reaching a certain level in the characteristics of one's specialty craftsmanship. Otherwise, if any master-level craftsman could directly break through to Grandmaster, Grandmaster craftsmen would become as common as cabbages.

Qingyuan City is the second attribute that uses the [Heavenly Craftsman's Decree]:
Specific Attribute 2: [Heavenly Craftsman's Grip]: Craftsman's proficiency mastery efficiency +100%.

This was like a divine intervention for the initial advancement of the artisans in Qingyuan City.

The Great Wilderness Territory also plans to cultivate more new-generation craftsmen here, from basic training to expert or master level. Moreover, Qingyuan City is located in the Taihang Mountains, with abundant timber and mineral resources. In addition, the Great Wilderness Territory plans to use three of its ninth-tier random mineral veins here, which will deepen Qingyuan City's foundation.

Qingyuan City is mountainous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Building the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond] here would be safer.

With the addition of the 400,000 Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guards who will be transferred to guard the city later, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After checking the situation in the core valley, Lin Mu learned that getting from the City Lord's Mansion's teleportation array to the streets of the second ring required crossing a mountain several hundred meters high, which took quite a while. The round trip would take a considerable amount of time... In True Dragon City, it would only take half an hour...

This is one of its drawbacks.

After preparing all the prerequisites, Lin Mu arrived at the heart of the city and began the formal upgrade of his territory.

Gently placing his hands on the heart of the city, a series of strange rhythms slowly emanated from it, filled with joy and anticipation... which Lin Mu could feel as well.

"System, I need to upgrade the subordinate territory to a county town," Lin Mu said firmly.

As Lin Mu's voice rang out, a strange and powerful force of heaven and earth suddenly descended.

The power of heaven and earth descended, and the familiar [Creation Martial Vein - Tai Long Creation] appeared as expected. However, this time, Lin Mu sensed that the power of heaven and earth emanating from it was even thicker...

"--bite!"

"—System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your subordinate territory [Qingyuan Town] is beginning its promotion from town to county. Note that because your territory has a special teleportation array, during the promotion period, your core territory [True Dragon City] and other subordinate territories [Qingfeng Town], [Qinglong Town], [Longma Town], [Xu Fu Town], [Wenyuan Town], [Yaoyuan Town], etc., will experience unexpected events. Please be aware!"

The system notification arrived as expected.

However, the prompt made Lin Mu frown slightly.

A subordinate territory has been upgraded to a county seat, and now the core territory and other subordinate territories are also subject to attack. Does this mean that every subordinate territory upgraded to a county seat will face this test from now on?!
Perhaps this is one of the negative effects of building the Divine Command Teleportation Array.

"--bite!"

"—System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your [Qingyuan Town] meets the requirements for public morale, public security, military strength, commerce, culture, and territory stones, and can be promoted to a county-level territory... Promotion in progress..."

"Roar!!!" As the system notification appeared, a tremendous dragon roar reverberated, echoing throughout the entire city and carrying further and further away...

Deep within the Taihang Mountains, countless ferocious beasts heard this dragon's roar... Some slumbering beasts opened their blood-red eyes, staring intently in the direction of Qingyuan Town...

Currently, almost every affiliated territory in the Great Wilderness with a long-term development plan has been upgraded to town level. Lin Mu has mobilized the Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guard to the maximum extent in each affiliated territory. With the support of the Xuanwu Legion guarding the city, there should be no problem in defense unless there are special circumstances.

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your subordinate territory [Qingyuan Town] has been successfully promoted to [Qingyuan City]."

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your subordinate territory town has been promoted to a county town, and a new chapter is about to begin. Because your core territory belongs to you, Qingyuan City will also belong to you. You can appoint county magistrates and other county town officials. However, you will have to bear the cost of food, prestige, etc. for each official position. The city will also generate corresponding karmic consequences, which you will also have to bear."

"--bite!"

"—System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, due to changes in the world, your territory is very special. Therefore, all your territories will face an attack from the Heroic Soul Legion!" "—Ding!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, attention! Attention! Attention! The Heroic Soul Legion's attack will arrive in three days. If you fail, your territory will be transformed into the fate of humanity and return to the world. If you succeed, the slain heroic souls will increase your humanistic fortune. Warm reminder: Humanistic fortune requires special equipment to receive. Your territory's Investiture of the Gods, Liangzhou Cauldron, etc., can all receive it."

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, in three days, a beast tide will attack all your territories. Please be aware."

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, due to the influence of the [Xuanwu True Vein] and [Xuanwu True Shrine], Qingyuan City has received corresponding blessings."

A series of system notifications appeared, proving the birth of the first county-level subordinate territory in the Great Wilderness Territory.

After that, Lin Mu immediately went to deal with the matter of the Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guard. Feng Zhong already had a candidate in mind for the Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guard in Qingyuan City.

After consuming a sufficient amount of reputation, 400,000 Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guards appeared.

With the appearance of 400,000 Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guards, the prosperity of Qingyuan City skyrocketed, quickly reaching a value of 50 million.

After completing this step, the preliminary preparations are basically finished. Next, we will build the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond]!
Lin Mu took out the blueprints and used them directly.

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, you have successfully constructed the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond] by consuming eight Dragons' Fortune, 1000000 City Source Power, 1000000000 Reputation Points, one unit of Xuanhuang Qi, one Earth Core Crystal, 5000 units of the ninth-tier special ore [Sacrifice Jade], 5000 units of the ninth-tier special jade [Spirit Sealing Jade], 8000 units of the ninth-tier special ore [Space Crystal], etc., using the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond Blueprint].

Unlike the ready-made Azure Lotus Star Soul Tower and Big Dipper Jade Balance Tower, the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond Blueprint] was created through hard work step by step.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating its arrival, especially the Jizhou army, who were even more excited because it was prepared specifically for them.

The Great Wilderness Territory also possesses a Grandmaster-level resurrection building blueprint, the First Reincarnation Pool blueprint. Unfortunately, due to a lack of crucial resources, it has not yet been successfully constructed.

"Buzz!!!" As Lin Mu pondered, a dazzling light rippled out from the heart of the city.

Then, a terrifying force descended, directly blasting the walls and buildings surrounding the back hall into dust, making them disappear without a trace.

Behind the main building of the city lord's mansion, the heart of the city, there were actually many other buildings, but they were all reduced to ashes by the terrifying power.

Only the heart of the city stands firm.

"Plop!~~~" Then, a series of strange water ripples sounded.

The incredibly hard ground slowly began to ripple... and soon it gradually turned blood red.

"Boom!!" After a muffled sound, a huge blood-red lake suddenly appeared on the open ground behind the city's heart.

A dense aura of blood-red energy emanated from the ground and quickly enveloped the entire lake.

When Lin Mu saw the lake, he glanced at it and estimated its approximate area to be around three thousand square meters.

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your subordinate territory [Qingyuan City] has constructed a divine-level soul space territory building [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond]. You can use the relevant resources to activate it."

Another system notification appeared.

Afterwards, Lin Mu took out 130,000 Blood Soul Stones and Soul Crystals that he had prepared in advance and threw them into the blood-red lake.

"Thump!~~~" After a crisp splashing sound, a dazzling blood-red light burst forth.

Soon, strange gray fish, each about the size of a palm, slowly appeared and swam in the blood...

"That's it... That's all. It's a pity. If there were more Blood Soul Stones and Soul Crystals, there would be countless resurrection slots..." Lin Mu murmured.

Because the Nightshade Legion and others all need to consume resources such as [Blood Soul Stones], this batch of [Blood Soul Stones] is the last remaining stock.

After finishing his work, Lin Mu sent someone to inform Ju Shou to send the selected 130,000 elite Jizhou troops to bind with the Soul Fish.

The quantity is small, but it can meet the initial needs.

Ju Shou can then take these 130,000 elite troops and go on a wild adventure...

The next step is to attack western Henan, with strategically important passes like Hulao Pass among the targets. (End of Chapter)
