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

Chapter 230 Inheritance of Various Departments
Looking at the numbers in the system shop, a smile appeared on Lu Ming's face. His points had now soared to eight trillion, not counting the amount he had used recently.

It's a pity that the mall didn't get upgraded.

Clearly, the number of Celestial Realm experts under his command has not yet reached one million.

However, with these, he could improve the cultivation level of his subordinates in a short period of time.

[Crafting instructions for a complete set of standard armor and weapons for elite celestial soldiers (mid-grade immortal artifact), 2000 billion points]

The method for refining a fourth-stage Golden Elixir, requiring 1000 billion units.

The method for refining a Five-Stage Golden Elixir: 1500 billion points

[Immortal-grade Enlightenment Pill, 3000 billion points (After use, it allows one to quickly break through their current cultivation level and reach a higher level)]

[Hou Yi's Legacy, 7000 Billion Points]

[Xingtian's Inheritance, 7000 Billion Points (Combat power increases fivefold after the head is severed)]

[The Legacy of Zhurong, 10000 Trillion Points]

Lu Ming looked at the items and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately exchanged them all.

By this time, two trillion had already been spent, a truly staggering figure.

Then, he exchanged for ten more Immortal Spirit Realms.

In this way, the number of immortal realms within the Dayu territory will reach twenty.

In other words, every year there are 200,000 people who cultivate at a speed more than a hundred times faster than those outside the city.

However, Dayu can still afford this number.

The entire Donglin Prefecture generates 300 billion in annual Immortal Crystal revenue.

It is enough to supply twenty fairy realms.

Even so, life must be a bit tight.

However, at this moment, improving our strength is the most important thing.

After exchanging all the items, he slowly headed towards Chaotian Palace, intending to assess the strength of his subordinates.

This is also very important.

Thinking of this, he stepped outside.

Upon entering the main hall...
Then they saw that the courtiers had already gathered together.

Upon seeing Lu Ming, he dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately knelt down on the ground, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Be flat."

Lu Ming said calmly, then looked down.

Then, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

Wu Han and the others have improved their strength quite quickly, and have already reached the Xuanxian realm.

This level of cultivation is already quite strong, after all, they obtained the cultivation techniques of various heavenly generals, and their Dharma forms are also top-tier. Even in the Immortal Realm, they have the strength to fight beyond their level.

"What is the current state of the warriors' cultivation within our Great Yu territory?"

Miao Feng immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we now have 600,000 Heavenly Soldiers from various divisions at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Almost 100,000 soldiers from each division have broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the rest are at the peak of Feather Transformation, with the possibility of breaking through at any time."

There are also 536 people worshipped, including 500 True Immortals, 20 Profound Immortals, and 16 Great Supreme True Immortals.

Lu Ming was very satisfied with this number.

This shows that no one has been slacking off this past year, and the strength of the Great Yu has now seen a tremendous increase.

However, Miao Feng immediately followed up with, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

"Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush here," Lu Ming said calmly.

This Miao Feng, perhaps having spent a long time in the imperial court, has begun to hesitate and be cautious when speaking.

This is not a good sign.

After pondering for a moment, Miao Feng said, "Your Majesty, it is the Blood Sea Sect Master who is kneeling outside the palace gates to beg for forgiveness after learning that he has been impeached."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"Let him in."

"Yes, sir!" Miao Feng dared not hesitate and immediately ordered the guards to go out and bring the person in.

The Blood Sea Sect Master had just entered the main hall.

He knelt down on the ground and said, "This sinful subject greets Your Majesty."

At this moment, Lu Ming finally understood why the local officials disliked the Blood Sea Sect Master.

The opponent now exudes a thick, pungent aura of blood and malevolence, all intertwined together.

It exudes a terrifying aura.

His hair, which had been red, had turned completely scarlet.

Her already thin figure became even more like a skeleton.

However, Lu Ming was truly surprised by the progress in his cultivation. As expected of the Blood Sea's cultivation method, it was different from the orthodox cultivation method. In a short period of time, his cultivation had actually reached the Taiyi Xuanxian level. How many people had this guy killed?

But what made him happy was...

Having received the inheritance of the Styx River, the Blood Sea Sect Master has no problem fighting opponents of higher levels, meaning he can now rival a Golden Immortal.

This is definitely good news for Lu Ming.

This means that the number of cards in hand has increased to two.

Even if the Heavenly Court sends two experts at the Golden Immortal level, the Great Yu can handle it with ease.

"What crime have you committed? You only killed the enemy. I forgive you."

Then, his gaze fell on Miao Feng, who was standing to the side. "He issued an order to reprimand the officials in various places for their inability to distinguish between friend and foe, and for their womanly compassion."

The Great Yu Dynasty is currently surrounded by enemies, and there is no time to try to win over anyone.

What we need to do now is to crush any enemy with swift and decisive action.

Make them feel fear.

At the same time, improve your own cultivation level.

If we're talking about those enemies who were killed, weren't they all butchers?

They don't have hundreds or thousands of lives on their hands.

"Yes, sir!" Miao Feng replied immediately upon receiving the order.

Then, Lu Ming turned his gaze downwards.

"Bai Lifei, select suitable locations to establish ten Immortal Spirit Realms. The required Immortal Crystals must be supplied on time."

After saying that, he threw out a storage ring.

It landed in Baili Fei's palm.

Although the other party felt distressed, they still respectfully replied, "Yes, sir!"

"Fifth Ancestor, do you think these armors can be made?" As he spoke, he took out the blueprints for the standard equipment of the Heavenly Soldiers.

The Fifth Ancestor knew that what Lu Ming gave him must be something good.

He immediately picked it up and examined it.

After a moment, he said, “Your Majesty, nowadays, thanks to the academy, our Great Yu has trained nearly a million weapon refiners. Under my guidance, there is no problem in refining these armors and weapons. However, many materials are not available in our Great Yu and must be purchased from outside.”

Currently, not to mention the city guards, the number of the six heavenly soldiers alone is around six million. If the materials for each set of equipment were purchased outside, it would probably cost 100,000 immortal crystals, even if they were refined by themselves.

To equip all of them with celestial soldiers would require 600 billion immortal crystals.

This number is an astronomical figure for Lu Ming. After all, the current revenue of Dayu is only around 300 billion a year. Even if he doesn't eat or drink, it would take him two years to save that amount.

However, he truly coveted this armor; it could grant immunity to 80% of attacks from Celestial Immortals and 50% from True Immortals.

Even a Xuanxian master's attack can only injure.

It's fair to say that with this armor, one could potentially take on ten opponents of the same cultivation level.

How could Lu Ming not take it seriously? If this armor were to be forged, it would be enough to defeat even a master craftsman.

At least within Xingzhou, I dare say that the army's strength is number one, and no one dares to say that it's number two. Thinking of this...

After pondering for a moment, he looked at the Fifth Ancestor and said, "I understand. I will find a way to deal with the matter of the immortal crystals as soon as possible."

Now, it probably won't be long before it happens.

Those forces in Xingzhou are about to attack.

There will always be a way to get the fairy crystals eventually.

Then, he took out two more methods for refining golden pills and handed them to the Fourth Ancestor.

These two types of elixirs correspond to the Taiyi True Immortal and the Taiyi Profound Immortal, respectively.

With the elixir, cultivation will surely be twice as effective with half the effort.

The Fourth Ancestor, holding the pill formula, smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, these pills can be refined, but we are already struggling to supply enough pills for the first and third stages of the Golden Pill. Each first-stage Golden Pill requires a thousand immortal crystals if converted to immortal crystals. Currently, our Great Yu Heavenly Immortals number over 600,000. The one-time expenditure on pills alone amounts to 600 million immortal crystals. With pills supplied three times a month, that's a full 1.8 billion."

That adds up to nearly 20 billion a year, not even counting other elixirs.

Today's Dayu can be said to have some foundation, but unfortunately, it lacks the financial resources to accomplish many things.

This is a very serious problem.

Clearly, the existence of a single prefecture still limits the development of Dayu.

However, their strength is still insufficient to acquire more territory.

At the very least, only after all of Lu Ming's generals have reached the Golden Immortal realm can they even begin to consider conquering the entire Xingzhou.

Otherwise, it would be impossible.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ming said, "How about this? From now on, only the first-stage Golden Core will be supplied collectively. We can refine fewer of the other Golden Cores and let the soldiers exchange them for military merits."

"Yes, sir!" the Fourth Patriarch replied hastily upon receiving the order.

This allocation method is the most suitable, as it not only reduces individual pressure but also motivates the entire workforce.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Ming said, "Hu Fei, I have a legacy here, which I will bestow upon you. Take it back and study it carefully, and strive to break through your cultivation level as soon as possible."

When speaking, a single finger can trigger the pop-up.

The next moment, a drop of blood fell onto his forehead and merged with his body.

At this moment, Hu Fei's demeanor suddenly changed.

Then, he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Ming nodded.

He then took out the Xingtian inheritance, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiao Lin, your physique is more metal-based, and you will lead the Ruijin Division. This Xingtian inheritance is for you. Do not disgrace the God of War."

Then, the Bloodline Inheritance Bead flew into Xiao Lin's forehead.

Then, the other party changed.

His body had grown taller and stronger.

His appearance has also become much more rugged.

"Su Lie, you are skilled in fire control, today I will pass on the Zhu Rong inheritance to you." Then, another drop of blood merged with his body.

Su Lie, whose face was already ferocious, became even more unapproachable at this moment.

A faint layer of flame appeared on his body.

Her long hair flowed freely, like a burst of flame.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All three generals stepped forward and bowed.

Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "The inheritances you have received are all earth-shattering. If you can cultivate them to their fullest potential, you will be no weaker than anyone else."

You are free to roam freely in this world, but you must concentrate on cultivation and not fail this legacy.

As for those who did not receive the inheritance, I currently have no more at hand. We'll distribute them later when they are granted access.

"As ordered!"

The assembled officials below all bowed and spoke at this moment.

Then, Lu Ming said with a solemn expression, "Now, apart from Shiyu City, Donglin Prefecture is basically in our hands. What are the movements in Xingzhou and the Heavenly Realm?"
It has been detected.

"Your Majesty, there are twenty-three prefectures in Xingzhou, and there are more than ten powerful forces among them. Apart from our Great Yu, the most powerful one is Huang Sheng of the Xuanhuang Sect, known as the Yellow Sand King. He has a supernatural power that can stir up a sky full of yellow sand, which can blow people apart from their flesh and bones. His cultivation level is at the Golden Immortal realm."

This person is quite powerful and occupies three prefectures.

There is also Gongsun Yue of the Qiankun Sect, known as the King of One Qi. He also occupies the land of three prefectures and has the cultivation of a Golden Immortal. He can breathe in and out the Qi of Qiankun. He once suppressed two Golden Immortal masters with his own strength.

Kunyu of the Beiming Sect, known as the Northern King, occupies three prefectures. With the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, he is incredibly fast. In battle, his opponents are often killed before they even discover his whereabouts. He is also the most mysterious of them all.

Yin Poyue of the Yin-Yang Sect, known as the Moon King, occupies the land of three prefectures. With the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, he seems to have mastered some kind of extremely powerful sword technique, and has few rivals.

The rest of the people divided up the remaining ten prefectures.

However, their cultivation level is not to be underestimated. Although they are not as advanced as the four mentioned above, they are still experts who have entered the Golden Core stage. Moreover, they have formed an alliance, led by the King of Lingdu, to resist the four forces mentioned above.

Although these rebel kings were not backed by quasi-saints, they were still supported by great immortals.

All things considered, we are at the least advantageous.

Wu Han said slowly.

Lu Ming nodded, then a glint flashed in his eyes.

"They are indeed very strong, but our Great Yu is not without its own trump cards. After you return, you should cultivate diligently until the Heavenly Court sends troops."

Do your best to improve your skills.

Before the Heavenly Court intervenes, the forces of Xingzhou are unlikely to take action against Dayu for the time being.

However, Donglin Prefecture is now under his control.

It seems the Heavenly Court won't have to wait too long.

"As ordered!"

Upon receiving the order, the ministers immediately responded respectfully.

Lu Ming stood up and said, "Court adjourned."

Everything that needed to be arranged has been arranged. How far the subordinates can go depends on their own fate.

As soon as he finished speaking...

The courtiers then cautiously withdrew.

Lu Ming also left the Chaotian Hall and headed towards the inner palace.

However, at that moment, the female official in green cautiously walked over.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of Shiyu City requests an audience; it seems he has something very important to discuss."

"Where is it?" Lu Ming asked, raising an eyebrow.

The Lord of Stone Rain City gave him a mysterious and indifferent feeling.

The fact that you're in such a hurry to find him means something must have happened.

"They are at the Donghuang Palace, with the Empress Dowager accompanying them."

“Then let’s go take a look,” Lu Ming nodded.

Then, they headed towards the Eastern Phoenix Palace.

Just as I arrived at the entrance, I heard the voice of City Lord Shiyu.

"Has the Emperor of Yu not returned yet?"

"Sister Yunjin, please wait a moment. The Prime Minister is currently in court; he should be here soon," Yu Muyun said softly.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow; this was the first time he had ever seen City Lord Shi Yu in such a hurry.

Then they walked towards the palace.

At the same time, in the Shangqing Palace, Qingxiao, who knew that Lu Ming had occupied Donglin Prefecture, hurriedly ran towards his master's main hall.

They wanted to tell this news to the Sage of Shangqing.
