Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

There were some surprises in the system.

"what happened?"

Keqing asked.

[Master, I found some abnormal information from above. This ground source seems to have been drained.]

[It was not absorbed by Gaodu, but its

he】

"other?"

Keqing thought of the nodes that were spread out like a network, with each node connected to each other to form cities.

Could it be that……

"Well, I see."

Keqing responded simply without saying anything else. The system did not say anything more, but collected the data for possible future use.

whoosh-

The little golden dragon flew up with a whoosh, and a ball of light was wrapped around the tip of its tail. It was the core of the earth source and a part of it.

Simply put, it's the spirit of the earth, right?

The complete source of the land cannot be taken away, as it is rooted beneath the ground, and taking it away will inevitably destroy the land.

Therefore, only the core of the ground source is taken away. As long as it is well nurtured, new ground sources may be generated in the future, and then ground veins may be derived.

However, the probability of that happening is too small and the process is too long. It would be more cost-effective to merge with the land source of Licheng.

These fallen beasts attack the city on the one hand because of the human creatures above, and on the other hand because of their desire for the earth's resources.

Just as they are the products of the death of the alien demons, they also have extraordinary greed and desire for the core veins of the continent, and they are eager to devour them.

No, it shouldn't be swallowing, it should be expansion.

Expand everything you have, cover the entire continent, and then spread throughout the world.

……

……

After the experience in Gaodu, Keqing accelerated the speed of rescue. After all, as time went by, there would surely be many cities that would not be rescued in time, so the faster the rescue, the faster the speed.

As expected, the next cities we encountered were all in a rather dire state.

When they encountered Keqing's rescue, they were a little bit incredulous. In this regard, Keqing decided to rescue in batches, letting some wild beasts help to hold on for a while, and then follow up to completely resolve the problem.

Even so, we saw many cities destroyed along the way because they could not hold out.

At this moment, Qing could do nothing but look to see if the source of the earth could be saved and if there were any survivors.

If there is one, take it away; if not, just move on to the next one.

I have to say that it is much more convenient to have a system, at least when it comes to collecting people.

I don’t know how the system identifies people.

When faced with some places that block spiritual consciousness and aura, spiritual consciousness cannot identify them, but the system can search them.

There are really a lot of places like this, and because of this, many hiding people were accidentally rescued, which was beyond Keqing's expectations.

But it's true that if you don't have some means of hiding from the wild beasts, you may not be able to survive.

Thus, during the long period of traveling and killing, even with many elixirs to maintain themselves and countless essences to replenish consumption, the mental fatigue and physical exhaustion still made people feel a little overwhelmed.

As we were rushing on the road, I didn't know when the red moon in the sky finally disappeared.

And the surging fallen beasts disappeared unnoticed.

The group could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Keqing still insisted on visiting the remaining cities.

Unexpectedly, a considerable number of cities survived. For such cities, Keqing provided some elixirs for help, but did not ask for the city lord's seal.

As for some ruined cities, they would collect the land resources that could be collected, and rescue the people that could be rescued. As for the treasures that were collected, they would naturally be regarded as their hard work rewards. Keqing would also share some of them with the wild beasts and monks who followed her.

After all, this is one of everyone's main motivations, and Keqing can't just let them work for nothing and order them around at will.

After fighting for who knows how many days, the group was exhausted.

Keqing also felt that it was about time, so she returned. The next step was where the trouble started.

Such as follow-up processing, city arrangements, and... outside attention.

Chapter 426: Smells really good, so jealous!

With the system, the arrangement and coordination of personnel has indeed become much more convenient. The system has also officially become a member of Licheng, and Keqing has assigned it various tasks.

And those subsidiary cities were also assisted in recovery little by little by the people sent by Li City. At the same time, they also obeyed the orders of Li City and began to carry out reforms like Li City.

From then on, these subsidiary cities, like Li City, could accept wild beasts and also produce purified crystals as an important output.

Other aspects were also changed according to local conditions. Of course, the prestige of the city lord was also reduced again and again, at least to make everyone realize that Licheng is the master, and other subsidiary cities are equivalent to being under the jurisdiction of Licheng, just like the imperial court.

Licheng's ruling power and prestige are growing rapidly.

In fact, the city lords have also had a deep understanding of this change, but they can only watch this scene change, after all, they are already a subsidiary city.

Besides, their city lord seal has changed a lot and has become easier to use.

But it no longer belongs to them, not to mention that they had seen the strength of the Lord of Li City at that time. How could they resist?

They all listened obediently.

Isn’t this actually pretty good?

Since the gradual reform, the wild beasts passing by are no longer aggressive, and the vitality and population of the city are also increasing.

This scene happened in all the affiliated cities. The change was rapid but silent.

At least, to the outside world and other cities that were still unaware of the power of Li City and its affiliated cities, it was silent.

It was not until a month or two later that Zhucheng had finally recovered and communications had been restored that everyone realized it.

That's not right! How come after one red moon, the whole world has changed! ?

Can you tell me why there are wild beasts coming in and out of their city, and why after a red moon, their strength not only does not weaken but seems to increase? Not only that, their city actually has elixirs that can be exchanged!

Even though it was only a low-level or mid-level one, it was still a pill! How could it be so clearly listed on the exchange list?

When will the quantity of pills be sufficient to support such large-scale exchange?

And what about the crystal that is comparable to a spirit stone? What on earth is that?

The point is, why the hell, after a red moon, we become weaker and you become stronger! ! And suddenly a Liyue appeared, turning more than a dozen nearby cities into subsidiary cities!

???

Are they dreaming, or is this world magical?

How can a lower city make so many cities its subordinate cities? This is not the way to cultivate immortality.

"No, Lao Bai, have you really surrendered to that Licheng?"

"Hmm? Otherwise..."

"Are you so willing?"

"What if I am willing or not?"

Bai Shui rolled his eyes, then suddenly took out a box from his storage bag and quietly opened it. A rich fragrance filled the air, and after seeing the other party's wide eyes, he immediately closed it.

He looks like a sly villain who has succeeded in his career.

"Where did you get this from!"

"Hehe! It's distributed by Licheng. There are some every month~"

Damn it! How could it be so good! He was moved! !

And this kind of thing happens everywhere.

I originally thought this was very strange. How powerful could a city like Li be to have so many cities belong to it?

As a result, I saw that he was taking advantage of the situation and rescued me on the condition of being a subordinate during the Red Moon!

I knew it, how powerful a mere Licheng could be? Turns out this is what it is. Ha, what’s so good about it.

That's what I thought.

But the perception soon changed!

Because it smells so good!

There is a monthly salary, top-grade elixirs, and certain natural treasures based on the development of each city!

What a nice smell! It smells so nice! It makes me envious and jealous!!

Ah! Why didn't you come to rescue them then?

Some city lords were envious, while others were dismissive.

"It's just a Licheng. We are just taking advantage of others' misfortune."

"Yeah, isn't it a slap in the face for her to do this? Let's see how those noble families whose cities were robbed will react."

"So what if she has elixirs? After taking over so many cities, can she protect Licheng alone?"

"To ally with a wild beast is simply shameful! Traitor!"

There were countless such news, and in general, Licheng was despised and rejected by many people.

At least, for those cities that have not experienced the danger of the Red Moon Tide or been rescued by Keqing, it would be difficult to understand the feeling of having someone come down from the sky to help you.

That’s why they didn’t understand why a mere ordinary female Nascent Soul cultivator could be admired by so many people. It was simply outrageous! !

As the lords of a city, they are not so respected!

If someone from outside said something bad about that person, they would immediately be glared at by the people around them, and their looks were as if they wanted to kill him.

It's a bit scary. What kind of spell did this woman cast to make everyone like this, including the city lord and his followers.

The key is that once you say something bad, people in the city won’t sell you things, people will roll their eyes at you, and even if you stay at an inn, the price will double! You will never be happy wherever you go!

hateful!

Now everyone understands that the mayor of Li City is not to be talked to. If you say anything about the people from the affiliated cities, they will turn hostile!

So why is it! How could she be admired and loved by so many people?

Just wait and see, Licheng’s good days won’t last long.

The suspicion and clamor from the outside world rose and fell, but Keqing had no time to care about them, because with the expansion of the territory, there were many things to do.

Although things have become much easier with the help of the system, some planning is still required in the initial stage.

With Licheng as a precedent and demonstration, all we have to do is follow suit and adapt to local conditions when necessary. Other cities are not that troublesome.

However, Licheng was overwhelmed by the increasing influx of business alliances and people.

Fortunately, Keqing also obtained a lot of land sources. After the integration of the land sources, the coverage of the land sources itself was further expanded. Keqing could then expand the city walls and build new residential areas based on this, thus alleviating the current congestion.

To

In trouble?

Well, trouble is bound to come, but there is no rush.

What is coming cannot be avoided.

Keqing is optimistic and has a correct understanding of her own behavior. Her behavior is indeed a bit out of line, but not too out of line.

Apart from the fact that it was difficult to judge the alliance with the wild beasts, she thought that in other aspects it would not cause too intense rejection and targeting.

And what follows is something she can handle.

So, she did not worry about the upcoming troubles, but arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Until one day, the first trouble finally came.

"Get out here, little Licheng kid!"
