All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 203 Top-Tier Forging Characteristics!
The new clues from the True Lord Temple caused Ji Ran's brain to malfunction.

No, are there any additional conditions?
How many people can use it per day?
At this moment, many travelers returned from the various worlds, and everyone went to the local temple to recuperate.

Some of the more cautious travelers then underwent some forging and training. But the majority of them headed towards the Jia Chen Ship Tower.

only……

"what?!"

"grass!"

"no??"

Whoosh!
Whizzing--

All travelers will immediately increase their speed upon entering the area of ​​Jia Chen Zhou Lou! They will instantly traverse the area of ​​the shrine!

Needless to say, the travelers' physical condition was excellent; with increased speed, they only needed to stay for a single breath before departing. Then, still somewhat shaken, the travelers inquired about the reason.

Why is there an extra earth god temple at the entrance of Jia Chen Zhou Lou?

Moreover, the offering function has been activated, granting 1 point of spiritual energy per second!
The Zhenjun Temple, which covers the entire boat tower, doesn't accept offerings from the travelers!

In such circumstances, almost no one would approach the shrine.

Occasionally, a few curious individuals would come to the Earth God Temple with a little spiritual energy offered every second, only to find that the temple only had two basic functions: meditation and offering. They would then immediately make their escape.

In this way, it would be difficult for even one traveler to use it per day!

Moreover, this situation isn't something that can be resolved simply by canceling one's offerings. Strictly speaking, one's own local temple only has one function: regulating energy.

Although the meditation function is no longer as expensive as it was in the "dilapidated" state due to the upgrade of the local temple, it still costs 500 spirit essence for a first-tier traveler to use.

Other local temples all have a uniform 100 points of spiritual energy.

People would be crazy to come here to meditate; it's more convenient and cheaper to go to a local temple.

After a moment's thought, Ji Ran sat cross-legged in front of the earth.

Behind him was a hazy mist and a shadowy earth temple.

Before him was a dazzling golden halo, rippling across the massive bronze ship.

After the land temple is upgraded, it will have a specific functional location.

But what can be added?
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a small beast shimmering with golden-red fluorescence flew down from the ship's deck.

This little beast was about the length of a human forearm, looked like an insect, but had a pair of fleshy wings like a bat.

At this moment, its limbs, like eagle claws, were gripping a jade slip of emerald green, which it placed in front of it.

Watching the little beast transform into a streak of light and depart, Ji Ran paused, realizing that it was sent by the True Monarch Temple.

What is it?
Ji Ran picked up the emerald green jade slip and felt that it was warm and smooth.

You have received the message jade slip.

You have obtained the "Regulations Concerning the Certification of Rights and Responsibilities of Land Temples" issued by the Special Administrative Regions Administration. Please read them carefully.

A clear stream of knowledge flowed into his mind like a current of air, and the jade slip in his hand developed numerous cracks. Then, with a "poof," it shattered into a shower of pale green ash.

The celestial corridors, the earth god temples, the cemeteries, the spirit world...

My basic understanding of this space is as if I have studied it carefully for countless days and nights, and it is deeply imprinted in my mind!
The Corridor of All Heavens - Jia Chen District is essentially similar to a platform.

The Corridor of the Heavens is the passageway through which that eerie train travels, and this is one of the stops of that train.

Aside from safe zones like the Corridor of the Heavens and the Jia Chen District, the vast world outside is known as the "Spirit Realm."

This is a vast, ethereal space that connects all realms. It is a world where souls can more easily travel.

In the real world, some children lose their souls, and some legends even mention ascending to heaven or becoming immortals in broad daylight. These are all manifestations of the soul entering the spirit world.

However, the soul is not the primordial spirit and cannot cross the barrier between the real world and the spirit world. Therefore, most of them only touch the edge of the spirit world and will still return to the body.

This is a world more suitable for spirits, vast and boundless, presenting a huge, elongated, ring-shaped terrain, as endless as the universe, surrounding the endless heavens.

All living beings of flesh and blood who can walk here possess cultivation.

Only when the spiritual essence within the body exceeds a certain limit can the physical body pass through the barrier of the spirit world.

"Is the area where the Outer Skin Walkers operate a graveyard?"

"It turns out that when the number of Time Black Trees reaches a certain level, they become this terrifying."

Ji Ran's gaze was now fixed on the shrine.

In addition to information, this code of conduct also outlines the responsibilities and rights of the local earth god temple.

The rights are similar to what I expected; I can add various functions to the shrine to obtain various offerings.

However, the local earth god temples outside have had their temple barriers removed, so they cannot be set up by themselves. All fees have been set to the minimum.

As for responsibilities—[Each quarter, you need to leave the safe zone and carry out a spirit realm mission.]

However, what Ji Ran was most concerned about at the moment was the functionality of the temple. The functions of the Earth Temple were unlocked as it was upgraded, and it would also gain different characteristics depending on the upgrade materials used.

Offering sacrifices is the most basic function of a land god temple, while regulating one's energy is something that a land god temple can perform even in a "broken" state, as long as it doesn't fall apart.

The next ability you can choose to unlock now is [Forging]. If you upgrade it again, you can gain the ability of the [Mirror of Oblivion]!

[Land God Temple (Old)]

[Current Permissions: Breath Control, Offering, ? (Can be added)]

"Add to!"

Without further hesitation, Ji Ran immediately added the next ability!
hum!
At the Earth God Temple, the branches of the black tree suddenly swayed, and the fluorescent flowers on the branches emitted a rich, eerie light!

In front of the shrine, a black wooden forging table grew from black branches.

Forging function has been added.

Currently available equipment forging techniques include: reinforcement (maximum 7 forgings), enchanting, treasure refining, and crafting (no blueprints available, therefore unavailable).

[Current Land God Temple Forging Characteristics - Retrospective]

After equipment is forged, the enhancement materials and the equipment can be restored to their state before forging.

[Rewind: Under the level of a Spiritual Tool, rewinding is possible infinitely, with each rewind consuming twice the Spiritual Essence of the previous one. A Spiritual Tool can be rewound once; anything above a Spiritual Tool cannot be rewound. (The rewind function improves over time as the Black Tree grows.)]

[Note: Each rewind consumes 500 Spirit Points, doubling with each subsequent rewind. Please set the Spirit Point consumption. (Currently, the available Spirit Point consumption range is 500-10000.)]

Ji Ran didn't hesitate and said directly, "Set it to 500 points each time."

Not a single point was added.

A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way. No matter how many ways a local temple can amass wealth, Ji Ran's nature as a wandering traveler also prevents him from deliberately using local temples to make money, after learning that other local temples had been set to the lowest level by the authorities.

He understood that the true significance of the Earth God Temple was probably its support for travelers. The world needs more powerful travelers.

Once the rollback function was available, Ji Ran understood that there was no need to worry about the requirements of the True Lord's decree.

This local temple of mine will definitely become a holy site for forging in the future!
The functionalities that the Black Tree brings to the shrine at this time will likely cause a huge stir in the traveler world! Let alone 500 spirit essence, even if it were set to 10000 spirit essence, there would definitely be people willing to accept it!

[Offering settings have been changed]

[Currently, the contribution is 1 point of spiritual energy per minute.]

Ji Ran changed the offerings from the local earth god temple to 1 point at the other earth god temples. The previous fee was to cover the daily expenses of the Zhenjun Temple, but that's no longer necessary.

Ji Ran was confident that with this forging function, he could earn 1 point per minute.

And it was a huge profit!
Moreover... Ji Ran looked in the direction of Zhenjun Temple.

He still doesn't understand why the True Lord is so "magnanimous" towards him.

It's better to be obedient. I'm not a true Dao Lord, just a minor Luan Guest. If I'm honest, it'll be easier to explain if my identity is exposed in the future.

……

"Humph."

Before the True Lord Temple, Jia Chen True Lord looked at the temple screen that revealed the functions and offerings of the Ji Ran Earth Temple, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The little guy still has a conscience."

Once tribute is paid to another shrine, the functions of one's own shrine will be known to the shrine at the next higher level.

This is why, once offerings are made between shrines, a hierarchical relationship is established.

The Twelve Land Gods had previously guessed that Ji Ran would not back down, and that was precisely why.

When True Lord Jia Chen saw that the forging of Ji Ran's shrine had a "rewind" function, several of his beard hairs were plucked off!

Such ability!

It is a manifestation of the laws of time!

Looking again at the black tree on the shrine, True Lord Jia Chen realized that the shrine was actually rooted in a black tree of time!
The first thing Jia Chen Zhenjun thought about was whether or not to take over this shrine!
Of course, this was not something he intended to covet from the younger generation.

He simply wanted to take over the temple barrier and set the forging function to the lowest level, so as to benefit all human travelers.

The fact that he was trusted by Marshals Zhige and Chanyin to guard the Jia Chen region shows that Lord Jia Chen's public-spiritedness is beyond doubt. He always puts the interests of the Special Operations Department and even the overall interests of human travelers first.

But that kid is very sensible.

He set the cost of the forging function to the lowest level. At the same time, the original offering was changed to 1 point per minute.

Therefore, True Lord Jia Chen would not need to retrieve the temple barrier.

After all, he is someone the marshal mentioned. If he is truly a genius, then let's give him more freedom and room for development.

It can also be considered as a good relationship.
