Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 190 Arranging the World
“I’ll go right away!” the Seventh Ancestor said.

A serious look appeared in his eyes.

He also hadn't expected that Lu Ming would develop to such an extent in his own fiefdom. No wonder his subordinates' strength could grow so rapidly.

After speaking, he prepared to leave.

However, right now.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Seventh Ancestor, there's no need to be in such a hurry. The food is almost served. Let's eat first before you leave. There are some things I'd like to ask you."

"I'll listen to you." The Seventh Ancestor sat down with a smile.

A moment later, the female official in green robes entered with palace maids, and various delicacies were laid out on the table.

The fragrance emanating from it filled the entire warm pavilion.

Each dish is exquisitely prepared and rarely seen elsewhere.

"This was made by the royal chef. Each dish is not only delicious, but also helps to improve one's cultivation. All the ingredients are the freshest."

The Empress introduced it with a smile.

As he spoke, he placed a piece of meat on Li Xirou's plate, saying, "Try this, it tastes very good. It's a kind of sea creature from the North Sea, and it was just delivered yesterday."

It's clear that Yu Muyun genuinely likes her.

The other person is not only gentle and quiet, but also very kind.

The Empress was even somewhat relieved that Lu Ming's wife was Li Xirou; otherwise, things might not have gone so smoothly.

Lu Ming then clinked glasses with the Grand Master and asked, "Grand Master, I wonder how much spirit stone our Great Yu produces each year?"

The spirit stone mines of Dayu are all controlled by the Imperial Clan Court.

Then distribute them.

They know it best.

"After we returned to Dayu, we gradually unsealed and found some spirit stone mines, totaling 135."

"The annual output should be around 10 billion spirit stones," the Grand Master said solemnly, setting down his wine cup.

Then, after pouring Lu Ming a glass of wine, he continued, "Some time ago, we seized a large mine in the outer region. The annual output of spirit stones was around 5 billion, which was enough to make a living. But now it has been blocked."

This spirit stone mine was seized by the Great Xia. "As he said this, a hint of indignation appeared in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking...

Lu Ming's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. "Currently, my income from spirit stones should be around 200 million per year, but that's not enough. If we want Great Xia to develop, we need to have more spirit stones."

"Perhaps lifting the sea ban is a good idea. By controlling the coastal areas near Dayu, we can further increase our supply of spirit stones."

"Isn't this many spirit stones enough? We may lack some other things, but the spirit stones are enough to supply the army's cultivation." The Empress asked with some surprise.

In the past, because there were no strong people in the Great Yu, the spirit stone mines within its territory had always been closed.

Recently, after the return of the royal family.

Every day, a large number of spirit stones are sent to the capital.

In the Queen's eyes, this was already an astronomical figure.

As she finished speaking, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I have a Heavenly Martial Secret Realm. If a cultivator below the Golden Core stage enters it to cultivate, one day outside is equivalent to ten days inside, which can greatly improve the cultivation level of their subordinates."

The annual cost is ten million spirit stones.

I plan to establish one in each state to accelerate the military's strength.

It's estimated that it won't be long before we can build an army comparable to the Great Xia.

As the sound rang out, the Grand Master of Ceremonies' fingers trembled involuntarily.

An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"A secret realm? I seem to have seen it in ancient books. It's a mysterious place where top powers trained their disciples in ancient times. Even in the Immortal Realm, only some powerful sects possess it." As she spoke, her eyes fell on Lu Ming.

Several other elders also turned their gazes towards them.

After all, this news was simply too explosive for them.

"Yes, secret realms, ninety states, that is, ninety secret realms. Each one consumes ten million spirit stones per year. This amount may not seem like much to the Great Yu now, but it is enough for an army of millions."

With this, they will be able to enter the Qi Refining Realm very quickly. At that time, each of them will receive a basic supply of ten spirit stones per month, which will amount to hundreds of millions of spirit stones per year.

Moreover, there's also a Celestial Martial Realm, which I plan to build only in the capital, where experts from the Golden Core to the Dharma Aspect stage can cultivate. However, the annual consumption of spirit stones is in the tens of billions. Therefore, setting up the Celestial Martial Realm will have to be postponed.

The main problem is that we can't afford to supply spirit stones; the cost is too high.

We can't possibly put all of our annual income into it.

"We've accumulated quite a few spirit stones in the inner treasury over the years, probably around 10 billion. How about we build the secret realm first, and then figure out a solution later?" Grand Master said through gritted teeth. This thing was just too tempting.

Compress the time by ten times.

Many disciples of the royal family are now stuck at a bottleneck.

If we had this Immortal Martial Secret Realm, a large number of experts in the Refining Spirit and Dharma Aspect Realms could emerge in a short period of time.

This was something that the Great Yu Dynasty would never have dared to imagine in the past.

At this moment, they were extremely glad that they had chosen Lu Ming.

The other party has too much experience and resources.

Even without the support of the Great Yu, with so much foundation, it could become a major power in a short period of time.

At this moment, everyone in the room looked at Lu Ming, some of them wondering if he was the son of some immortal emperor.

Otherwise, how could these things exist?

However, no one dared to ask.

In the end, it was the Great Yu royal family that had climbed the social ladder.

If in the past they still harbored any intention to exploit Lu Ming, that intention has now completely vanished.

My only thought now is to follow him and build an unparalleled empire.

Upon hearing what the Grand Master said, Lu Ming did not hesitate and immediately replied, "Alright, then tomorrow, order the construction of secret realm offices in various places. I will gradually open all the secret realms in various places, including the capital city."

Furthermore, I have a formation that can gather spiritual energy from all around, and the concentration of spiritual energy inside is dozens of times that outside.

I will have people set up these facilities in each prefecture city as soon as possible.

These tasks are planned to be completed within a month, so I'm entrusting them to you all.

Lu Ming had barely finished speaking.

Several patriarchs of the clan stood up and said, "As you command!"

At this point, they were already quite impatient.

With these, what's the point of talking about a hundred years? In just one year, the strength of the Great Yu will increase at an extremely rapid pace.

With time compression and the amplification of spiritual energy, one year is enough to equal the cultivation of subordinates for dozens or even hundreds of years.

At the very least, those below the Divine Power Realm can achieve breakthroughs on a large scale.

Of course, at a higher level, one needs to gain insight.

This is inevitable.

The rest of the meal was eaten absentmindedly by everyone, especially the elders of the clan, who left in a hurry after finishing their meal.

He was obviously giving orders to his subordinates.

Lu Ming was drinking tea with the Empress and Li Yan.

At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to say, "Godfather, spring is just around the corner. I'm planning to find a place to grow some spirit rice. What place do you think would be suitable?"

Lingmi is also a great thing to enhance the strength of the army.

Although the effects are slow to appear, they will eventually take effect over time.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yan said, "The central area is all plains, and there is a lot of arable land, which can definitely be used for large-scale planting."

"Alright, then I'll trouble Godfather to select a suitable piece of land as soon as possible. I plan to plant all the spiritual rice to supply the army."

"I'll take care of it right away," Li Yan said hurriedly.

He knew that everything Lu Ming said concerned the future of the entire Dayu, and he dared not hesitate.

He immediately took Zhang and left.

At this moment, only Lu Ming and Li Xirou remained in the warm pavilion.

"Let's stay in the palace for now. We'll be moving here in a month anyway, and it'll be easier to give orders from here."

The Empress looked at Lu Ming, her face slightly flushed.

Having spent half a year with Lu Ming, she had gotten used to him being by her side.

I'm still not used to him being away from me all of a sudden.

Li Xirou immediately smiled and said, "Sister, you must be missing your husband."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress completely let go and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I've been thinking. I wish my sister and husband could be with me every day."

After she finished speaking, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I plan to go into seclusion for a while. It's fine if I stay in the palace. Xi Rou can go to the Prime Minister's residence this afternoon to get all the things."

"Okay, I'll go down and get ready," Li Xirou said obediently.

The Empress replied, "There are seclusion rooms in the palace. I'll take you there in a bit."

Lu Ming nodded.

A moment later, Li Xirou left the palace and, accompanied by a female official in green, went back to the Prime Minister's residence to pack her things.

Lu Ming, accompanied by the Empress, went to the secret chamber.

It was a large, spacious place, with various runes carved on the surrounding walls.

"The walls can withstand the energy of a peak-level supernatural being. They were personally supervised by the Grand Master of the Sect, and I am the only one in seclusion there on weekdays," the Empress said softly.

Lu Ming nodded. "The place is very nice."

It's so much better than the secret chamber I used to cultivate in the past.

"Then I'll go out first. If you need anything, you can call the palace maids outside."

“Yes, you’ll need to keep an eye on the things I asked you to do these days,” Lu Ming said.

These things are very important, and it would be good to arrange them in advance.

In the coming year, Dayu will surely reach a new level.

"Yes, I know!" the Queen said with a smile.

Then he left.

After she left.

Lu Ming also sat down in the secret room, flipped his palm, and put a tea leaf of enlightenment into his mouth.

Then, he immersed himself in cultivation.

For the next month, Lu Ming focused on cultivation, occasionally emerging to give instructions on tasks he had assigned.

Yunhe was arguably the busiest person there.

He traveled to various prefectures and cities, covering them with array formations.

Although his cultivation level was at a very high level, his speed was extremely fast.

But it was a huge undertaking for him. Fortunately, he had his apprentice's help; otherwise, it would have been difficult to complete it in a month.

Meanwhile, secret realms were also established in various places. Lu Ming exchanged for a large number of Heavenly Martial Secret Realms, each of which was personally placed by the Grand Master, and he enjoyed doing so immensely.

Soldiers of the Great Yu Dynasty can enter the training grounds based on their military achievements.

At the same time, the Immortal Martial Realm in the capital city was also created. It was located on Purple Gold Mountain behind the city and was guarded by the Imperial Guards.

In addition to these, the royal family also merged the weapon refiners and alchemists they had trained with the weapon refiners and alchemists from Hongdu Prefecture, making them into two departments.

Wu Han and his army have also returned.

Upon returning to the capital, he was immediately assigned to a position in the Imperial Guard, which was merged with the Imperial Guard itself. Furthermore, a large number of soldiers were transferred from the southern border to supplement the ranks.

Leaving aside other places, the capital city is now at least under Lu Ming's control.

One million two hundred thousand imperial guards were all his men.

Zhang Mu was personally appointed by the Empress as a general of the Imperial Guard, holding the rank of third grade, and was also granted the title of Marquis of the Four Directions.

As for the other generals, the Empress did not make many arrangements for them.

They decided to wait until Lu Ming came out of seclusion before making any further decisions.

As time went by, the wedding day, a month away, soon arrived.

The entire capital city was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Colorful ribbons fluttered in the air across the land.

The clan elders who had been traveling all the time also returned, though they were busy and spent a lot of spirit stones.

But they felt it was well worth it.

Given a few more years, we can definitely take our strength to the next level.

On this day, Lu Ming's cultivation also entered a critical moment.

A light emanated from his right arm, revealing divine markings.

Then, as he stretched out his hand, it suddenly swelled up in an instant.

It covered the entire secret room in a few moments.

It took a few moments for it to return to its normal size.

The divine light also disappeared after a moment.

"Phew!" Lu Ming let out a long breath and then opened his eyes.

The entire secret room was instantly illuminated by his gaze.

It was as bright as day.

At this moment, his cultivation finally broke through, reaching the first level of supernatural powers, and he unlocked the hand supernatural power.

The effects of the Enlightenment Tea were also fully absorbed.

At this point, he can freely change the size of his right arm.

If one so desires, one can easily uproot a mountain.

Then, she stood up and walked outside.

As soon as they entered the secret chamber, they saw a female official in green waiting outside.

"What time is it now?"

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is your wedding day, and both consorts are ready."

The female official in green said cautiously.

Although Lu Ming has not yet officially ascended the throne.

But he already held absolute authority in Dayu.

"Take me to the harem," he said calmly.

The female official in green dared not hesitate and immediately led the way.

A moment later, Lu Ming arrived at the Empress's palace, where she was talking to Li Xirou.

Both of them were dressed in red wedding gowns, phoenix coronet and embroidered shawl.

A perfect figure and stunning looks.

It looked quite beautiful under the lights.

The female official in blue tactfully withdrew.

"Husband, you've come out of seclusion!" Li Xirou was the first to run over and exclaim excitedly.

With the wedding just around the corner, and Lu Ming still not emerging from seclusion, the two women were quite anxious. Now that they saw him come out...

There were smiles on their faces.

"I'm out of seclusion," Lu Ming said with a smile.

Then, his gaze turned to Yu Muyun: "Have the secret realms and formations in various places been set up?"

"It's almost done. The secret realms you set up last time are now operational, although they've consumed quite a few spirit stones," the Empress said with a smile.

Lu Ming nodded.

"It's alright, we can figure out how to earn spirit stones after we get married."

"Give us time, and the Great Yu will surely develop."

After speaking, his gaze fell on the two women again, and looking at their charming appearance, he couldn't help but feel a surge of heat throughout his body.

At the same time, there is also a hint of anticipation for tomorrow's wedding and coronation.

This deployment across various locations consumed a significant amount of points.

However, everything will be resolved once he ascends the throne.

At that time, the points earned will be enough to redeem a large number of items, allowing Dayu to reach a new level.

After all, what they gained this time was an entire dynasty.

Moreover, once you become emperor, your authority over the mall will definitely be elevated to a higher level.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the Empress and Li Xirou and said, "My ladies, it's getting late. Let's get some rest."

As he spoke, he walked towards the two of them.

Thank you so much to the generous donor of 1500 Qidian Coins from my early days! Thank you all for your monthly tickets and subscriptions! I'll be updating a lot this month, and I appreciate your support and love.
