Together with the City God, they set up a net of earth and gave all the shrines to Tian City God.

Tian Chenghuang said, "We need to fill in three more of these land god shrines here to assist me in managing Taichang Realm. As for the door god shrines, they need to be placed at the city gate. I will personally find two fierce ones and refine them into the shrines."

“Jianxin County is not my territory after all. Although I was put in charge of it, I can only find some night watchmen there.”

“The mountain and water vein nodes don’t need these shrines. I can personally capture the evil spirits and suppress them under the earth’s net.”

After the earth net was set up, the earth energy of the entire Taichang Realm was contained, leaving no room for demons and monsters to cause trouble. In addition, officials in the city could teleport freely in the area where the earth net was laid, and legal officials and Confucian scholars who cultivated laws could also use the earth net to cast legal spells without consuming themselves.

Most importantly, reclaiming wasteland no longer requires luck. The spiritual fields that were previously reclaimed using luck have been directly upgraded under the blessing of the Earth Network, transforming from unranked spiritual fields into ninth-grade spiritual fields.

The reason is simply that after the earth network was laid out, all the spiritual energy of the earth veins within the territory was distributed by the earth network. It was completely impossible for any plant or tree to receive the light of the sun, moon, and stars, or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and to become a wild little demon within the territory of Taichang.

Even in the Human Realm's Dao Pool, the fortune surged wildly, turning from crimson to pale gold, like flowing fragments of a golden body.

After Song Wuji put in the post station's herding order, he saw the five-colored stone lotus undergo changes.

Then a message came: "Do you want to annex the Human Path Build New Realm Qi Luck Spiritual Mansion and upgrade it to a second-level Qi Luck Spiritual Mansion?"

You can merge them!
"Upgrade!"

Instantly, the Qi Yun spiritual palace in the Jianxin County government office disappeared, and the stone lotus also fell.

Meanwhile, the Qi Luck Spiritual Mansion in Taichang County continued to expand, the Qi Luck Pool grew larger, and the Five-Colored Stone Lotus grew larger, with an additional twelve petals, indicating that it had become a second-grade Qi Luck Stone Lotus, which could now hold twelve more Secret Realm Tokens.

Of course, the most wonderful thing is that after Lingfu was promoted to the second level, the divine blessing that Song Wuji gave to Taichang City and the divine blessing that gave to Jianxin County were merged.

Whether they were residents of Jianxin County or Taichang County, they all possessed two innate supernatural abilities: one was the ability to consume food, and the other was the ability to control birds and beasts.

The effect of the medicine, which was originally only 1% of Song Wuji's original function before it was taken, has now increased to 2%.

The ability to control birds and beasts hasn't changed much. This is an effect of Song Wuji refining the Six Animal Reincarnation Disc, not something that Song Wuji could originally bestow.

As Song Wuji grew more powerful, his ability to consume food naturally became more and more powerful as well. Even with only a 2% effect, he was able to have better digestion and absorption.

It should be noted that Song Wuji was able to increase the essence, energy, and spirit of the Three Treasures by consuming the demonic energy of the demonic source.

These common people lack the ability to refine objects and certainly cannot obtain the original demonic energy, but by cooking the flesh and blood of demons, they have the opportunity to extract the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit from the flesh and blood of demons.

Even if Song Wuji ate rare and exotic beasts, he could acquire their supernatural abilities and talents, so naturally the common people could too.

Song Wuji immediately thought of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and thought to himself, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas has so many powerful monsters and strange beasts, and they all describe how to eat them. I'm afraid someone learned from Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs and wrote a book about eating hundreds of beasts."

They immediately decided to spread the Kitchen God ritual far and wide.

The next moment, those people in Jianxin County who were born with the destiny of the God of Food, the Heavenly Chef, or the Fire, Earth, Wood, and Stove were all granted the identity of "Walking Stove King" and immediately gained many abilities related to the kitchen stove.

The local people of Taichang County, after realizing their talent for controlling birds and beasts, slapped their thighs in dismay: "What are we going to do! It seems like all the demons in our own territory have been killed, and there are only a few demons left in the secret realm. Now that the net has been laid, even the smallest plant demons have no place to live!"

"Go to Jianxin County to catch it. This kind of innate talent is originally only found in Jianxin County. I'm very envious. When I heard that Jianxin County had been opened up, I went to visit relatives there as soon as possible."

"It's a pity all my relatives are dead, these demons in the ditch!" "They're all going over there to capture demons and breed them, especially livestock like cattle and horses, which can be used as mounts, haul goods, and even clear land."

“When we were reclaiming wasteland, the conditions were terrible. We used hoes to plow the land, and two strong men were used as oxen to pull the plow while one held it up. Now, they have cattle, horses, donkeys and other livestock, even though they have only just started reclaiming wasteland and farming again.”

"But they're in a worse situation than me; at least we managed to hold on."

"Go to Jianxin County to earn work points! There's plenty of work there, and they need people everywhere. County Commandant Chen is recruiting soldiers there. This time, they need to replenish the regular and auxiliary soldiers. The military regulations and the Flying Marquis regulations are in accordance. If you kill ten unranked demons, you can be promoted to the ninth rank!"

"I'm going there to do business!"

"I heard that Hongzhou Prefecture was not breached by demons. I have relatives in Hongzhou Prefecture, and I hope they are still alive."

In an instant, a myriad of thoughts caused the population to move about.

In fact, many people are already feeling stifled and want to go out and explore, to gain some freedom in this chaotic world, and to pursue a happier life.

The pressure is great. Now that Song Wuji has subdued a city, the people are very happy, as if they have seen a day of peace and prosperity.

In particular, the people of Taichang County, with goodwill, heard about the suffering of the people of Jianxin County, and many of them volunteered to go and help with the construction.

Especially since the two counties are relatively close, many people have relatives there, or their ancestral home is in that area, and they always have the idea of ​​going to visit.

Pulling his thoughts back, Song Wuji observed the Daoist spiritual abode in the mortal realm to see if there were any changes.

In addition to the upgrade of the Stone Lotus and the expansion of the Fortune Pool, all the Secret Realm Tokens of Jianxin County have been transferred here, adding many new laws and regulations.

There have indeed been some other changes.

There's an extra picture, titled [The Land and the State].

Upon closer inspection, one could see that many places on the map of the land and its people were shrouded in black mist, while some places were glowing red.

The secret realms that Song Wuji and others had already subdued were marked with a white dot.

"Is this an extra map?"

Song Wuji had already treated this as a city management mini-game, so he wasn't surprised by the appearance of a map.

Looking at the map of the land and its people, Song Wuji had only one thought in his mind: "The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!"

Then he checked the other secret realm tokens in Jianxin County.

One is the [Eastern Palace Decree], which belongs to the zombie prince's secret realm. Its effect is that the prince, as the future heir apparent, can appoint officials.

However, as the crown prince, he is not yet the emperor, so he can only appoint some officials of the eighth or ninth rank as his staff. This is why Hei Luan can appoint demons as officials.
