Chapter 536 One Month's Harvest
Hua Kai put his mental power into the [Demon Suppression Lamp] and felt that the [Demon Suppression Lamp] was actually a low-level fairy weapon. The [Demon Suppression Lamp] has three functions.
The first is that the closer the monster is to it, the weaker it becomes. This is why Hua Kai saw that this restricted area is full of spirit beasts.
The second is its imprisonment function. It can imprison monsters in the fairy lamp space, making the monsters more and more spiritual, and finally able to transform into spirit beasts. However, to use this function, the user's mental power must be able to suppress the beasts all the time. After lighting this lamp, the beasts' spirituality will increase.
The third is to improve the beasts' spirituality. The higher the bloodline quality, the faster the spirituality will be improved.
These three functions all require the lighting of the [Demon Suppression Lamp]. Lighting the [Demon Suppression Lamp] does not require anything else, but the kind of golden elixir power in Hua Kai's golden elixir.
In other words, only the golden elixir realm or saints, burning their golden elixir or using the power of the origin of the holy world, can light up the [Demon Suppression Lamp]. In this way, the conditions for using this fairy weapon are much higher.
In addition, the [Demon Suppression Lamp] also has a storage function, with a storage space of 100 cubic meters, and its function is no less than that of the [Mountain and River Map].
When Hua Kai saw the function of the [Demon Suppression Lamp], his first reaction was that the Hua family would have a treasure for storing and transporting livestock in the future.
The spiritual power of livestock is much lower than that of humans of the same level. As long as the livestock is put into this [Demon Suppression Lamp], it can be taken to other places. In this way, it becomes very simple for Huaxia to transport livestock.
"This is a fairy weapon that Wukong got from the restricted area just now. It can only be used by those above the Jindan realm. It is very powerful." Hua Kai smiled when he heard Xue Pan's question.
Wukong walked around the crowd. Many people saw Wukong and talked to him happily. Wukong looked so proud that everyone laughed.
"Wukong, go inside and see if there are any fairy weapons or spiritual treasures. We will wait for you here." Hua Kai said to Wukong.
After hearing this, Wukong thought about it and turned to walk towards the restricted area. Everyone was waiting outside anxiously. Hua Kai used the [Eye of Truth] to explore the restricted area and soon saw Wukong walking out with a bunch of things.
Hua Kai happily took it and found that these more than ten pieces were all spiritual treasures, and they were all broken. Many runes in these spiritual treasures could no longer be seen, but some formation characters could still be seen. Studying these formation characters might have the possibility of restoring these spiritual treasures.
Hua Kai asked Wukong to enter this restricted area to continue looking for treasures. There are hundreds of halls here. Wukong probably didn't even finish visiting the outermost hall this time.
Wukong was very reluctant to hear this. Hua Kai threatened and lured him, and Wukong finally agreed reluctantly. Hua Kai left Xue Pan here to wait for Wukong, and he and others continued to explore this fairy island.
Time passed little by little. After Huaxia discovered the will spiritual treasure on the second day, the Hua family obtained the fairy weapon on the fourth day, and also found a spiritual treasure in the Thunder Eagle area.
Then on the fifth and seventh days, Huaxia's luck continued, and there were spiritual treasures of will. Every day, the guards received more and more spiritual medicines and strange stones. After these spiritual medicines were exchanged for points, they were basically exchanged for pills or weapons, because only by improving their strength can they get more here.
On the ninth day, Hua Kai entered a restricted area for earth dragon beasts. He didn't want to find that the restriction in this area suddenly disappeared as soon as he entered. Tens of thousands of earth dragon beasts in the restriction instantly fled to all parts of the island. Hua Kai had to summon all members of Huaxia back to the base.
Although these earth dragon beasts are only level five at the lowest and level seven at the highest, they are powerful and numerous, and they are highly aggressive, which poses a great threat to people below the foundation-building realm.
Hua Kai had to organize everyone to clear out the earth dragon beasts together. Although this kind of pseudo-dragon has strong combat power, its huge body can be used, and its skin can also be made into leather armor. The families of Huaxia began to arm themselves and began the road of clearing out the earth dragon beasts. Killing the earth dragon beasts and selling them to the Hua family, the income is not less than that from opening up the land.
A month later, Hua Kai entered the [Family Secret Space] and saw the various materials densely packed on the shelves of the [Blacksmith Shop] and [Alchemy Room], and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
In these thirty days, he harvested 1,320 kinds of spiritual medicines, a total of more than 400,000 plants, including 2,460 spiritual medicines of grade 7 or above and 31 spiritual medicines of grade 9.
170,000 various strange stones, half of which were obtained by the [Undead Legion] from the Thunder Eagle area.
14 will spiritual treasures, of which 3 were grade 2, hundreds of various spiritual treasures and magic tools, of which only 5 were intact and usable, and more than 20 of the remaining spiritual treasures could be repaired, which made up for the lack of spiritual treasures in the foundation-building realm of the Hua family.
These strange stones can fully support the rapid development of China for five years. If the previous consumption is maintained, fifteen years is enough. The entire Xiandao safety area has been almost cleared by the Huaxia family, and China has paid more than 400 lives for this. If the rest want to have a big harvest, they must enter the restricted area to explore.
Hua Kai also found King Yan and other people from Yan State. They were exploring an ancient relic in the central restricted area of the fairy island. It seemed that there were a large number of monsters guarding the relic. The loss of Yan State was not small. Hua Kai drew a red mark on the relic area after knowing it. Huaxia would not explore this area again.
All the noble families who could contract the exploration of the restricted area have been looking for treasures in their own areas. Most of them have harvested, and some have lost all their money. Hua Kai tried his best to help the noble families eliminate the big threats inside, and the entire exploration of the fairy island seemed to be in order.
On May 20th, Hua Kai had been away from Huaxia for seventy days, and Huaxia was still developing as usual.
Soldiers in the ten counties area continued to clear the wild beasts in the area. The seven elite legions were responsible for clearing the trade routes and the concentrated areas of wild beasts. No one noticed that most of the combat power above the innate realm of Huaxia was no longer in the country. In recent days, the number of various high-quality wild beast meat and monster meat in major cities of Huaxia began to surge.
The plump sky blue whale meat quickly conquered everyone. Compared with a plate of dragon meat that costs thousands or even tens of thousands of gold, sky blue whale meat only costs tens or hundreds of gold, and even children can have a taste of it. This is very effective for children's physique and strength growth. As long as the conditions permit, families in Huaxia will buy some for their children.
Various earth dragon beasts are even cheaper than ordinary wild beast meat, and only a few gold per pound can be bought. Therefore, many civilian families can actually buy ground-level earth dragon beast meat to taste this year. The physique and strength of all people in Huaxia are growing unknowingly, and the voices supporting the rule of the Hua family are getting louder and louder in Huaxia.
Especially the six southern counties that have just joined Huaxia, because Huaxia and Lu are allies, and Qin has also spent its attention on clearing wild beasts in the country this year. The Central Plains ushered in a rare period of peace. Many Gaoliu County families voluntarily went to these six counties, which made the population of the six counties slowly increase. The population of each city in Gaoliu County is decreasing, which is what the Hua family is happy to see.
The establishment of post stations and pavilions between the North Mountain and Guangling County in the south of China was also very rapid. According to statistics from the State Council, there are now 41 pavilions and 182 post stations built on this trade route. Each pavilion has 100 to 1,000 elite soldiers. There are also five newly built castles on the road to make up for the lack of cities on the trade route.
A total of more than 100,000 soldiers and 400,000 ordinary people will provide safety protection and rest guarantees for passers-by on the trade route. China regards this trade route as the most important thing to do.
This year, there are more caravans coming from the south. In mid-May, caravans from Chu, Nanyue and other regions have arrived. Some of them go by water, and some drive carriages on official roads, bringing countless exquisite goods to China.
Because China has trade exchanges with other countries, the tariffs on both sides are much lower than before, and the people of China are much richer than those of other countries. Many civilians even earn more than ordinary families in other countries every year, so all kinds of goods can be sold at a good price here.
Huaxia's various wool products, Huashi paper, snowflake salt, monster meat, elixir, weapons, etc. are also needed by other countries, so the goods coming from the south are finally converted into goods and taken to other countries after passing through the Ministry of Commerce.
What no one noticed is that many chambers of commerce appeared in many cities in Huaxia. Many of these chambers of commerce were founded by the noble families of Lu, Chu, Yan and even Qin. When they came, there were often thousands or even nearly 10,000 people in the team, and when they went back, there were hundreds of people driving hundreds of carriages back.
The wealth of Huaxia was spread everywhere in the Central Plains countries. Ordinary people could eat wild beast meat, civilians could read and study, and children went to school.
The noble families did not exploit ordinary people. The King of Huaxia was invincible and could kill the big monster dragon. The entire Qi State had voluntarily thrown itself into the arms of Huaxia. These words continued to deepen the people's yearning for Huaxia. Some caravans even quietly started the business of human trafficking. If they sent people to the Huaxia area, they could get a considerable commission.
Hua Kai saw this as an opportunity, so he asked some people who had just been assessed as officials in Huaxia in recent years to quietly join the intelligence department. They returned to their former countries, brought a lot of money to contact local noble families to establish a chamber of commerce, cooperated with the noble families to quietly transport people, and exchanged goods from Huaxia to make profits. Hua Kai always asked everyone to be hidden, and as a result, no one in the country discovered this anomaly.
The trade route from Huaxia to Xiongnu and even Yuezhi has become more prosperous this year. The horse bandits and mountain bandits on the main sections of the road have been continuously cleared. The two countries have stationed strong troops in important places and arranged tribes to be stationed here. Therefore, more and more small caravans go to the grassland to do business, and the commercial trade in Huaxia has become very prosperous.
The State Council of Huaxia is still continuing to build the safety of the trade route. Their goal is to keep all the pavilions on the trade route in winter, and slowly build all the pavilions into small castles. In the future, all areas will be connected through castles to achieve Hua Kai's farthest expectation, that there are no wild beasts in the country, and the people can reclaim fields outside the city at will.
