As a lord, I was forced to farm

Unfortunately, the capital of Da Yan Province is not a place that outsiders can just go to casually.

It is said that when the locals of the capital city of Da Yan see outsiders, countless people will launch a master-servant battle against them.

Whoever wins can make the loser a servant or pay a large sum of money as a defeat fee.

Even ordinary people could wage war against officials, nobles, or even provincial kings, and the winner could even inherit everything from the loser.

"..."

“Even without consuming fire spirit stones, I will continue to grow stronger.” Mo Sheng concluded the discussion about the capital city of Da Yan with a single sentence.

"Indeed, Mo Sheng is both talented and hardworking. Even without external help, he can quickly become a powerful figure."

Since Fei Xuan's dream aid, the cultivation of the three beasts has progressed rapidly. Now, Jiang Ran and Bai Mei have reached the fifth level of Dan Tian, ​​Mo Sheng's cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, and Fei Xuan is at the peak of the Profound Bone Realm.

"Bai Mei might like this." Since Bai Mei wasn't there at the moment, Jiang Ran took the initiative and picked out more than ten shiny-looking treasures as gifts for Bai Mei.

The dazzling array of treasures gave Jiang Ran a real sense of having annexed Tianchen County and Chaolian County, but for her, none of these treasures could compare to the joy that the expansion of her territory brought.

……

Besides the demon spirits, Da Su also took over four secret realms from Tian Chen and Chao Lian.

Among them, the Wind and Thunder Cliff Secret Realm and the Sinking Sand Secret Realm originally belonged to Tianchen County City, while the Demon Forest Secret Realm and the Misty Ancient Town Secret Realm originally belonged to the Chaolian Secret Realm.

The treasures in these four secret realms had long been looted by the rulers of Tianchen and Chaolian, leaving nothing of value for Jiang Ran.

However, its secret realm characteristics still hold great value for Da Su.

For example, the Wind and Thunder Cliff Secret Realm is a terrifying cliff shrouded in gales and thunder year-round. It possesses abundant spiritual energy of wind and thunder attributes, but this spiritual energy is rather turbulent and cannot be directly absorbed by cultivators. However, if a cultivator can climb down the cliff to the bottom, collect the cliff stones, and receive their protection after the stones recognize them as their master, and then climb back to the top, the cultivator can successfully absorb the spiritual energy of the Wind and Thunder Cliff into their body.

Moreover, the wind and thunder attribute spiritual power absorbed into the body is twice as refined as ordinary spiritual power.

However, obtaining the cliff rocks is not easy. Not to mention the deadly gales and raging thunder, the Wind and Thunder Cliff itself is a thousand meters high, and the entire cliff is extremely smooth...

Therefore, the Fenglei Cliff Secret Realm is also known as the Trial Cliff by the cultivators of Tianchen.

The main body of the Sand Dune Secret Realm is a river of flowing sand. In Jiang Ran's view, its greatest advantage is probably that the sand inside is special and makes it an excellent building material.

The Demon Forest Secret Realm is home to many strange and unusual medicinal herbs.

As its name suggests, the Misty Ancient Town is shrouded in a thick fog that never dissipates. Apart from its unique scenery, it has nothing particularly special about it. However, Jiang Ran thought that now that the Great Ghost Story movie has been released, it might become a good filming location for horror ghost movies in the future.

"..."

Jiang Ran carefully examined the information on Da Su's interface and suddenly said, "If we want Da Su to become a capital-level territory, we're just missing a young fairy."

Upon hearing Jiang Ran's words, Li Fusheng echoed, "If that Princess Chaolian hadn't stolen that young fairy, perhaps our Great Su would already be a capital-level territory."

That's Fairy Zhi! When the people of Dasu heard that Xiao Hu had taken Fairy Zhi away, almost everyone was cursing.

"I heard that this bastard was the one who suggested poisoning!" "And he even turned women into human pigs, he's utterly depraved!"

"He was greedy for life and afraid of death. As the second prince, he actually led the demon spirits and fled ahead of time when his home city was in danger!"

"It's a pity about that young fairy. It's said that our Great Su now has four young fairies, and we only need one more to safely advance to the capital-level territory!!"

There are three important influencing factors that determine whether a county-level territory can evolve into a county-level territory.

Firstly, the territory must cover an area of ​​at least 300,000 square kilometers.

Secondly, the population reached one million.

Thirdly: The ruler of the territory must have five signed fairy maidens.

The first two conditions have been met with the annexation of Chaolian and Tianchen counties by Dasu, but the missing child is the fairy who was stolen by Xiao Hu.

“If my Great Su becomes a capital-level territory, the other three provincial capitals of Cloud Sorrow Land will certainly not sit idly by,” Jiang Ran said to Li Fusheng with a smile. “My Great Su can cultivate the Fairy Child on its own, so there’s no need to be too concerned about that Fairy Child.”

"Your Highness is right."

……

Two months later, Da Su completely eliminated the remaining forces of the royal families, including Chao Lian and Tian Chen.

The news of Chaolian and Tianchen changing hands quickly spread throughout the entire Cloudsor Land and even further afield.

At that time, the disciples of Tianlong Palace, who originally belonged to Chaolian territory, had just been released from confinement and were devastated when they received this news.

“What happened? We were only locked up for a few months, and the whole world has changed.”

"Then what are we? Territoryless cultivators, or Great Sumerians?"

Looking at the Ōsuke who he used to look down on, the Asahito just wanted to tuck his tail between his legs and go back to his solitary confinement.

……

The annexation of the two prefectures by Dasu brought surprise to many people within the prefectures, such as Fang Qiaosheng and others whose five-year term had expired.

"They were at least two prefecture-level territories, yet Da Su wiped them out as easily as a withered tree."

"Less than two months!"

They originally planned that after their agreement with Jiang Ran expired, they would each go their own way, such as returning to their original sects or forces.

But the rapid expansion of Da Su and the strength it displayed in battle made them hesitate: I have been away for five years. There must be many geniuses emerging in the sect. If I return to the sect after my absence, will there still be a place for me?

Even if I were given a position, would my superiors still trust me as they did before?

or.

Will the future of a sect really be longer than that of a grand temple?

and.

Would a sect have a place of residence as ethereal and celestial as the Lingze Islands, with such abundant spiritual energy...?

In the end, after much deliberation, all five of them chose to stay in Dasu. (End of Chapter)
