From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 476 Yuan Ling's Beauty is Unparalleled
You Ming had previously joined forces with the City God of Changning Prefecture and the River God of Fengshui to open up a thousand-mile territory towards Yinshan.

Even after so many years, this vast land has not truly been digested.

The main problem is that the population is too small.

The entire Yuanling County, including its towns and villages, plus the Shenhua people, has a population of less than 400,000.

With such a small population spread across such a vast area, it can be considered a sparsely populated region.

Qinglu Mountain, together with the surrounding land, covers an area of ​​about 100 li. At that time, a root of the Qingji Divine Tree can be transferred there, and the spiritual energy will be sufficient to supply the Xuanjia Frog clan.

"Hei Fu, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Spirit God of Qinglu Mountain, with the rank of the ninth grade, and exceptionally allow you to command one hundred divine soldiers."

You Ming looked at the Xuanjia Frog King. Generally speaking, the gods under his command only hold divine duties and do not lead troops independently. All the divine troops are under his control.

However, since the entire Kurofu clan had pledged allegiance to him, and their loyalty was no longer an issue after they left their mark in the Book of Animal Husbandry, Yu Ming was naturally happy to relinquish power.

"Thank you, Your Majesty... no, thank you, Your Excellency!"

A look of excitement appeared on Hei Fu's face. Although he had the power of the [Form Refinement] level, he had not been able to obtain a godhood in recent years because of his advanced age and insufficient bloodline level.

You Ming was granted a ninth-rank divine position right from the start. Although it was not a high position, it allowed him to lead troops independently, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

……

Qinglu Mountain, located in the northwest of Yuanling County, is a place where mountains and water complement each other.

The mountain range stretches for dozens of miles, with rugged blue rocks, dense forests, and is shrouded in mist all year round. There are more than a thousand natural springs on the mountainside, and the spring water flows into the low-lying areas to form tiered marshes.

The pools were as large as mirrors and as small as bowls, connected by underground currents, with white mist rising from them from time to time, like smoke and dreams.

This place is not very suitable for human habitation, after all, it is densely forested and full of swamps and mud pits.

However, such an environment is perfect for the Xuanjia Frog clan.

"Your Majesty, this place is much better than where we lived before."

A black-armored frog looked around and exclaimed in delight.

Because the Azure Divine Tree has extended a root from underground, the spiritual energy here is ten times denser than in other places.

Although it can't be considered a sacred place, and it's far inferior to a "Cave Heaven," it's still much better than the area on the edge of Bibo Lake where they used to live.

A group of black-armored frogs hopped around happily in this area, and some of the younger ones even burrowed into the swampy mud and rolled around joyfully in it.

The abundant spiritual energy here makes them very comfortable.

"The Xuanjia Frog clan has recognized the situation and acted in accordance with reason, which greatly pleases me. Therefore, I hereby bestow upon Hei Fu the title of [Qinglu Mountain's Gifted Child Spirit God], with the rank of the ninth grade, in charge of bestowing offspring and protecting the peace and tranquility of the realm."

"May Jin Heifu lead the clan, unite as one, and use the water to pacify the land, bringing blessings to the mountains and rivers..."

"A spring of spiritual water from the mountains and marshes is also bestowed upon you, which can purify the soul, nourish the fetus, and cleanse both the inside and outside."

At the foot of Qinglu Mountain not far away, Wu Mo held a decree in his hand and read it aloud.

Hei Fu and the clan elders stood respectfully to one side.

As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, the decree transformed into a beam of azure-gold divine light that descended from the sky, pierced through the clouds, and landed on Hei Fu.

Then, in an instant, a beam of spiritual light flew out from Hei Fu's body, and that beam of light instantly transformed into the image of a short, middle-aged man.

His eyes were like mung beans, but his mouth was quite large, and he wore a red official robe, which looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.

But Hei Fu was very excited, shaking his robe sleeves with both hands, looking left and right, giving people a comical appearance.

Spirit beasts cannot take human form, nor can they manifest as spirits like cultivators. However, once they are conferred the title of god, the wisp of spiritual light in the black beast will combine with the divine authority and manifest a divine body.

As long as it is within its jurisdiction, or within the scope permitted by other deities, it can manifest freely, which is very convenient. When a cultivator's yin spirit travels, there is still the worry of damage to the yin spirit, but when the divine body manifests, even if you shatter the divine body, it will only consume a little bit of spiritual light.

"Thank you, sir."

Hei Fu was overjoyed for a while before respectfully bowing in the direction of Yuanling Mountain.

Wu Mo watched all this with a smile, then took a gourd from his waist, tossed it with his hand, and the gourd flew out and landed straight on a cliff.

"Hula."

The gourd opened directly, and a stream of water shimmering with rainbow light poured out.

What appeared to be a thin stream of water fell like thunder, its surging current instantly carving a depression in the ground and creating a spiritual pool. The water then overflowed in all directions.

Amidst the rising steam, one could even hear faint, illusory cries of an infant, a manifestation of the "spiritual energy bestowed upon a child."

This spirit pool was separated by You Ming from the pool in Yuanling Mountain, and it contains his divine power and authority.

All living beings who drink from this spring will have a safe pregnancy and be free from disasters; all living beings who wash their bodies with this water will have their spirits stabilized.

In the outside world, this would be considered a pretty good treasure.

Upon seeing all this, Hei Fu naturally bowed in gratitude once again.

"You shall stay here for now. The mountain lord will discover your bloodline in half a month."

"You should rest and recuperate for the next few days."

"However, you must remember that you must not leave the area of ​​Qinglu Mountain at will, and you must not harass the people."

You Ming was very easy to talk to, but some of the less pleasant things had to be said by Wu Mo.

……

"This is Yuanling Mountain, and it looks quite extraordinary."

At a very high altitude, Qi Tianjie and Lin Yunxiao stood atop a cloud, overlooking the entire Yuanling Mountain.

Under You Ming's careful management, the entire Yuanling Mountain had long since developed a spiritual nature.

The Azure Divine Tree within the grotto-heaven draws out a large amount of spiritual energy every day, which then permeates the mountains and rivers.

Therefore, from the foot of the mountain to the summit, there is vitality and life everywhere.

From afar, it resembles a green dragon winding across the land. Up close, the peaks are verdant, shrouded in mist, and the shape of the mountain changes with every passing moment as the clouds and light shift.

The mountain's spiritual veins converge, and springs flow in countless turns, revealing multiple wonders.

"Viewed from the side, it's a mountain range; viewed from the front, it's a peak; its appearance varies depending on distance, height, and perspective..."

The poem "On Yuanling Mountain" written by You Ming back then has long been known throughout the world. Even Qi Tianjie and his companion from the Heavenly Realm have heard of it many times these days.

In the human world, the beauty of mountains and rivers lies not only in their inherent magnificence and elegance, but also in the various cultural and artistic elements bestowed upon them, which give them a unique charm.

"Seeing this Yuanling Mountain today has given me a new impression of You Ming."

"Compared to other demons, he is not so rude and uncouth."

Lin Yunxiao was quite surprised to see all this.

Celestial cultivators have always looked down on the hairy and horned demon race, considering them to be ignorant and vile creatures.

But at this moment, You Ming seems to be quite different from the other demons.
