Lord of All: I Created the Eternal Immortal Realm

Chen Ergou immediately and respectfully explained the reason:

"Lord Qi, if I had put that meteorite into the spatial ring you bestowed upon me earlier, the 'Star Essence' you mentioned wouldn't have been wasted!"

"But at the time, I thought there was a very ominous creature sleeping inside the meteorite. I was so scared that I didn't dare put it in my spatial ring. Instead, I ran to the east gate of the city to inform General Zhao Zilong!"

"Because of my delay, at least 20 drops of this precious 'Starry Spirit Liquid' have evaporated. Therefore, I am guilty, and I beg your punishment, Lord!"

After saying that, Chen Ergou slapped himself twice, looking extremely annoyed.

Upon hearing Chen Ergou's words, the other twelve miners' expressions changed drastically.

One of the miners, a burly man with a square face and an honest-looking demeanor, knelt down in front of Ye Yu with a thud, saying with a look of self-reproach:

"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with Captain Er Gou. The 'Star Essence' was collected by me. If I hadn't used my harvesting technique on that meteorite, such a precious medicinal herb wouldn't have been wasted!"

"My lord, if you must punish someone, punish me. It has nothing to do with Captain Er Gou!"

Seeing this, the other miners knelt before Ye Yu and said in unison, "Lord, it was all of us, along with Captain Er Gou, who worked together to pull that meteorite up. If we hadn't pulled it up, such a precious sacred medicine wouldn't have been wasted, so we are all guilty!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Yu was both amused and exasperated; he had thought it was something serious!

result……

That's it?

"Ergou, get up. I'm not blaming you. After all, you're just an ordinary person now, and it's only natural to be afraid!"

Ye Yu smiled and said to Chen Ergou.

Then, addressing the honest, burly man kneeling beside Chen Ergou and pleading for his life:

"Shuisheng, get up too. Because you don't have X-ray vision, you'll have no idea what's inside the meteorite before we collect it!"

Having said that, he glanced at the other ten miners and smiled, "You can get up too. You're not wrong either!"

All the miners rose from the ground and bowed deeply to Ye Yu, saying, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Lord!"

Looking at the group of miners with remorseful expressions, Ye Yu found them quite endearing. He glanced at them and said gently:

"Don't blame yourselves. Each and every one of you deserves credit for discovering such a precious natural wonder!"

"In my system, 'merit should be rewarded, and wrongdoing should be punished!'"

"I hereby announce that everyone present will be rewarded with 5 catties of spiritual liquid!"

Everyone present bowed to Ye Yu with joyful expressions, saying, "Thank you for your generous gift, my lord!"

Ye Yu then looked at Zhao Yun, Chen Ergou, and Li Shuisheng, and smiled, "Zilong promptly stored the meteorite in his spatial ring, Ergou immediately notified Zilong to come and handle it, and Sanshui discovered the 'Star Spirit Essence.' The three of you deserve the most credit, so each of you will be rewarded with an extra 10 jin of spirit liquid!"

Zhao Yun and the other two quickly bowed to Ye Yu in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your generous gift, my lord!"

Ye Yu smiled, instructed Zhao Yun to send someone to the lord's mansion to collect the reward, then jumped onto the back of the Starhound Silver and rode away.

As everyone watched Ye Yu leave, they quickly bowed to his departing figure and said, "Respectfully seeing off our Lord!"

......

Ye Yu rode the silver horse toward his lord's manor, a bright smile on his face.

It's worth mentioning that his words just now caused the loyalty of the residents present, whose loyalty was not yet at its maximum, to skyrocket to the maximum of 100 points in an instant. This can be considered an unexpected gain.

Although he felt it was a pity that some of the "Star Essence" had evaporated, it was unnecessary and inappropriate to punish Li Shuisheng and Chen Ergou for it.

It's only natural that Chen Ergou didn't immediately put the meteorite into his spatial ring out of fear!

When Chen Ergou apologized, Li Shuisheng immediately stepped forward and admitted that he was the one who collected the meteorite.

This alone shows that Li Shuisheng is a man of integrity, courage, and loyalty. He doesn't want Captain Chen Ergou to take the blame for him!

Other miners also stepped forward immediately to take responsibility, proving themselves to be a group of loyal and righteous men!

Ye Yu would certainly not punish these loyal and righteous men for simply using a little bit of rare treasures from heaven and earth!

Besides, just as he said, Li Shuisheng doesn't have X-ray vision. Before the other party collected the meteorite, he had no idea what was inside it. What's so strange about him?

It's only natural for Chen Ergou to be afraid, there's nothing strange about it!

Therefore, instead of punishing them, he rewarded them.

Through this incident, Ye Yu also learned a lesson: as a lord and a superior, he must be clear about rewards and punishments in order to gain the trust of his subordinates!

Li Shuisheng's discovery of the rare treasure was commendable, as was Chen Ergou's timely notification to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's immediate action of storing the meteorite in his spatial ring to prevent the treasure from evaporating was equally commendable!

The other eleven miners worked together to help Chen Ergou pull the meteorite, and they were also credited.

Because without their help, Chen Ergou wouldn't have been able to move such a large meteorite by himself.

If you can't move that meteorite, you naturally can't collect such precious natural treasures.

As for the other soldiers, although they had no merit, Ye Yu still rewarded them as well, since they had come to deal with the situation together with Zhao Yun!

For Ye Yu, this "Star Spirit Essence" was like a pie falling from the sky!

……

A moment later, Ye Yu returned to the front of the lord's mansion.

He rolled off the silver and strode toward a square pool not far away.

Arriving at the pool, Ye Yu took off his watch and clothes from his right hand, and then stepped into the empty pool.

Wearing trousers and shirtless, Ye Yu sat cross-legged in the pool, instructing Yinzi, who was lying on the edge of the pool, to protect him. Then, he took out a wooden bucket containing "Star Essence" and an empty mineral water bottle from his Dream Star Ring.

He filled a bottle with Star Essence, then put the barrel containing the Star Essence into his Dream Star Ring.

"I wonder to what level this bottle of 'Star Essence' will raise my aptitude?"

Ye Yu looked at the mineral water bottle in his right hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

Shaking off the distracting thoughts, Ye Yu brought the bottle to his lips and carefully drank a drop.

The moment that drop of "Star Essence" entered his mouth, it flowed down his throat and into his body.

"boom!"

The next moment, a vast and pure energy erupted within Ye Yu's body, and his face instantly turned bright red, like a steamed shrimp.

Ye Yu dared not delay and quickly put the mineral water bottle containing the 'Star Spirit Essence' into his inventory. Then, he focused all his energy on circulating the 'Eternal Dao Scripture' to refine the vast energy within his body.

As the Eternal Dao Scripture circulated, the vast energy that had been rampaging through Ye Yu's body instantly ceased its violent outburst and obediently flowed along the path of the Eternal Dao Scripture.

After circulating along the path of the Eternal Dao Scripture for one cycle, the vast energy is evenly divided into two parts.

A surge of energy flowed into Ye Yu's body, strengthening his flesh, meridians, bones, blood, and internal organs.

Another surged into the depths of his brain, strengthening his primordial spirit.

Ye Yu instantly entered the legendary ethereal state.

His physical body and primordial spirit were growing rapidly, and a large amount of impurities were quickly expelled from his body.

In less than three breaths, Ye Yu's fair and jade-like skin was covered with a layer of pitch-black grime, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.

Silver, the Starhound lying on the edge of the pool, glanced at Ye Yu and then turned its head away.

Star Essence: Ranked fifth among the "Twelve Treasures of the Starry Sea," it can strengthen the physical body, enhance the primordial spirit, and extend lifespan. It contains vast and incomparably pure energy.

Ye Yu experienced its miraculous effects after taking just one drop.

……

About ten minutes later, Ye Yu emerged from his ethereal state, then suddenly opened his eyes, a dazzling purple light flashing within them.

As soon as Ye Yu woke up, he smelled an extremely foul odor. Then he looked down and immediately found that his skin was covered with a thick layer of black grime.

Ye Yu discovered that the amount of impurities discharged this time was more than the total amount discharged in the previous few times.

He immediately used his mind to move about two hundred cubic meters of water from the ordinary well in the house in the north of the city into the pool beneath him, and began to wash himself.

About twenty minutes later, Ye Yu finished washing up, changed into a set of clean clothes that Xia Dou had brought, and stood at the edge of the pool.

Seeing the water in the pool turn pitch black and emit a foul stench, Ye Yu immediately used his mind to move the dirty water to the endless void outside his territory.

Then, he used his mind to summon the [Lord] panel.

[Lord]: Ye Yu (Apprentice).

[Race]: Human.

[Qualification]: Rank 5. (Due to consuming Star Essence)

[Level]: Peak of Tier 1.

[Practice Method]: The Eternal Dao Scripture (5th level, beginner, first level, perfect).

[Physical Fitness]: 1200.

[Spirit]: 1200.

【Skills】: Profound Yang Golden Body (Tier 4, Top Level, Beginner) (+); Dragon Elephant Divine Fist (Tier 5, Top Level, Beginner) (+); Ethereal Step (Tier 4, Top Level, Minor Success) (+); Gathering Technique (Tier 3, Top Level, Major Success) (Gathering Range: 0~7.5 meters).

[Original Point]: 3815300.

[Inventory]: Star Crystals x523400, Mystic Iron Battle Blade...

……

"hiss!"

Looking at the brand-new attribute panel, Ye Yu was overjoyed. A drop of "Star Spirit Essence" not only allowed his strength to break through to the peak of Tier 1, but also raised his aptitude by 2 levels, from Tier 3 to Tier 5.

"call!"

Ye Yu took a deep breath and instantly calmed down.

He then began to ponder it silently.

"As expected of a rare treasure of heaven and earth, reaching the top grade of level 8, just a drop has given me such a great boost."

"However, this is to be expected. After all, I am only a Tier 1 Karami now, while the 'Star Spirit Essence' is a genuine Tier 8 top-grade natural treasure. It has been nurtured for at least three thousand years, and every drop is a concentrated essence. The energy it contains is unimaginable!"

"In fact, I feel I haven't improved enough, probably because my foundation is too strong. After all, the Eternal Dao Scripture is an unparalleled divine skill taught by Brother Lu, which cultivates both body and mind!"

"My current physical fitness level is as high as 1200 points, which means that I can lift 12 jin with one arm."

"I feel that at the first level of Body Tempering, the 'Constitution' attribute can no longer be increased, and the 'Spirit' attribute can no longer be increased either. Is this what Taoism refers to as 'Nine is the ultimate, Twelve is perfect'?"

"If I refine all the remaining 'Star Spirit Essence,' I'm sure I can break through to the 2nd 'Primordial Qi Realm,' or even higher, and my aptitude might even improve further!"

"Moreover, using 'Star Essence' to enhance strength provides an incredibly solid foundation!"

"However, I haven't fully mastered my current power yet, so it's not advisable to continue improving. I'll wait until I have perfect control over my increased power before making any further improvements!"

Thinking of this, Ye Yu immediately closed the [Lord] panel with his mind, and then lazily stretched.

This time, he has undergone a complete transformation!
