As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 969 Capital-level Territory!

Yuan Xiang and Jiang Nancheng were examining the Crimson Crystal Wheat Fairy and her demon spirit companion, the Wheat Spirit Monster, while Jiang Ran focused her attention on the Crimson Crystal Wheat Monster's interface.

【Crimson Crystal Wheat Fairy】

Qualification: King-level (Blue)
Rarity: Rare

Personality: Persistent, obedient

Age: 1 years old

Spiritual Element: General
Mutation: None

[A spirit that creates miracles.]

After evolving into a nascent fairy, its aptitude also improved, becoming a demon spirit with king-level aptitude.

At the same time, Jiang Ran felt a faint burning sensation between her eyebrows.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Great Jade Seal flew out.

"It's the Jade Seal of the Great Su!"

Thinking of something, Da Su Ren's gaze swept intensely over the Crimson Crystal Wheat Fairy and the Jade Image Seal, and he understood perfectly!
"From this day forward, my Great Su will no longer be a county town, but a more powerful capital-level territory!"

"For a hundred years, no territory of the capital level has emerged from the Clouds Grief Land, which has been suppressed under the feet of the three major provincial capitals. Now, our Great Su is about to break this curse!"

Everyone was filled with excitement.

In an instant, apart from Yuan Xiang, the elder from Mingxiao Academy, everyone knelt on one knee, their eyes reverently fixed on the jade seal that exuded an extraordinary aura.

The palm-sized jade seal, resembling a silhouette of the vast landscape, was under Jiang Ran's control.

Jiang Ran gazed at the faint red-gold light emanating from it, as if it were forging old ironware, gradually radiating a brand new aura from left to right.

As the red-gold light faded, the bottom of the jade-like seal, which resembled white jade, revealed that the original "郡" (prefecture) had been transformed into "都" (capital).

The four characters "Da Su Du Cheng" appear naturally and majestically at the bottom of the jade seal.

Everyone present naturally saw the four characters imprinted on the jade map. Their long-awaited wish had finally come true, and they were overjoyed.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"With the capital established in Dasu County, it can be said that the snake has transformed into a dragon. If it encounters further winds and clouds, the time for it to transform into a dragon will be just around the corner!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Many people in Dasu noticed the changes in the jade seal of Dasu.

Especially for those subjects of the Great Constellation who have been granted auspicious points and have received great benefits, their fortunes and misfortunes are intertwined. The more one benefits from the blessings, the more one can feel the changes in the Great Constellation.

So, Lin Sha, Wu Yun, and others who were nearby couldn't contain their excitement and came looking for them.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Jiang Ran looked at the throng of her subjects and the Imperial Guards who were on guard because of the dense crowd, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, showing her high spirits.

With a slight loosening of her long, slender, and fair fingers, the jade seal flew about a hundred meters into the air, its spiritual light flashing and radiating a majestic and sacred glow.

Jiang Ran: "Now that the Great Su has undergone a transformation and I have ascended to the position of the capital, I hope to work together with all of you with one heart and one mind, and to plan and advance together with this king!"

"..."

On the 25th day of the third month of the 29th year of the Su calendar, Da Su officially became a capital-level territory instead of a county-level territory.

Amidst the turmoil in the outside world, Da Su was being watched by countless forces, and soon many of them learned of this matter.

Inside Tianlong Palace.

Li Qingxu revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Although I knew this was bound to happen sooner or later, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly." The eldest disciple, Wen Muyun, said, "Master, are you feeling a little melancholy, or do you regret helping Da Su deal with those three provincial capitals back then?"

Li Qingxu looked at Da Su and slowly said, "Now that I think about it, even if I hadn't gone, that Prince Jiang—no, now he's Prince Jiang Du…"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Even if I hadn't gone, King Jiangdu might have been able to repel that million-strong army. But by going, I gained the friendship of Dasu."

Gaining the friendship of a great resident has both advantages and disadvantages.

For example, the Tianlong Palace piloted the Heng Hai No. 3 and sold the catches and treasures they obtained from the sea directly to Da Su, who then sold these goods to Mingxiao City and other places.

The Heavenly Dragon Palace has earned a lot of spirit crystals from the Great Abode in the past few months, and has already earned back the funds used to buy the ship.

They are now in contact with Da Su, hoping that the other party can sell them a few more ships and Wind Spirit ships...

The downside is that if we get along well with Da Su, then our relationship with the other three major provincial capitals of Yun Shang Land will inevitably be worse than before.

Wen Muyun thought for a moment and said, “Master, there are gains and losses. I think the three provincial capitals couldn’t defeat Da Su even when they joined forces when Da Su was still a prefecture city. Now that Da Su has become the capital, I think it’s even more difficult.”

The rise of Da Su is unstoppable. Compared to the other three provincial capitals, I see that the King of Da Su is more benevolent towards foreign powers, especially since my Heavenly Dragon Palace now has deeper ties of interest with Da Su.”

Wen Muyun's meaning was simple: he felt that his feelings leaned more towards Dasu than towards the other three provincial capitals.

Li Qingxu neither agreed nor disagreed, but said to Wen Muyun, "In this world, strength is everything. Xiaoyun, the situation is changing too fast. You and your junior brothers and sisters need to cultivate diligently. Starting tomorrow, you will go into seclusion to cultivate."

Wen Muyun clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Yes, Master!"

If the Heavenly Dragon Palace harbored complex feelings of both closeness and apprehension towards the Great King, then the Snow Wolf Sect, which had embarrassed the Great King, was filled with regret.

Seeing that the other sects were making a fortune by cooperating with Da Su, they watched as the others were doing the same.

Due to the abundance of spirit crystal resources, the disciples of the Blood Wolf Sect gradually surpassed the disciples of the sect in cultivation, causing the elders and sect leader to deeply regret their actions.

"If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have gone so far back then. We could have secretly sent some pills and magic artifacts to Da Su. Now that Da Su has become a Du-level territory, the surrounding area is all Da Su territory, and all the people of Da Su are Da Su. Where are we going to recruit new disciples?"

"Our Blood Wolf Sect raises countless Blood Wolves. Blood Wolves have huge appetites. Where are we going to find so much meat to feed these Blood Wolves?"

"If only we hadn't broken with Da Su, we could have bought some good quality, cheap live fish from Da Su to feed our Blood Wolves!!"

The Blood Wolf Sect's higher-ups inevitably felt a little regretful.

Jiang Ran scanned the territory system section.

After evolving her territory to the Chengdu level, she gained another 10,000 Luck Points for blessing.

Moreover, after Da Su was promoted to the Capital level, the Xiao Han Mansion Secret Realm and the Nan Guan Secret Realm under his control also underwent a transformation.

The Xiaohan Mansion Secret Realm has evolved from a township-level secret realm to a town-level secret realm, and the Nanguan Secret Realm has evolved from a prefecture-level secret realm to a capital-level secret realm.

While the other secret realms did not evolve, their fortune swept across the land, bringing about some changes to varying degrees!
Jiang Ran hasn't visited the two secret realms of evolution yet.

However, according to reports from subordinates, the environment of the Xiaohan Mansion Secret Realm seems to have become even colder, and large areas of ice-reishi mushrooms have been damaged due to the sudden drop in temperature.

Only a small number of tenacious ice-reishi mushrooms survived the harsh environment and the sudden surge of icy spiritual energy.

The surviving Ganoderma lucidum will naturally have a more concentrated medicinal power, transforming into a century-old spiritual medicine. So, with one gain and one loss, it's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain for the time being.

However, Jiang Ran thought that the increased ice spiritual power in the secret realm would be beneficial to the benefits of the ice spirit mushroom in the long run.

However, the difficulty of cultivating them may have increased.
