Chapter 176 Five Colored Spirit Rice, Heshen (gold)
“Dad, Ronger is not dreaming, is he? How did you get here!”
Lying in Huang Yaoshi’s arms, I feel To the smell that I have been very familiar with since childhood.
In the eyes of several "barbarians", Huang Rong is extremely smart and strong. No matter whether she is facing alien races or gluttonous beasts, Huang Rong is calm and resourceful. For the first time, Huang Rong appears like a little girl!
“This is thanks to Lord Xia!”
Huang Yaoshi touched his daughter's head.
Looking at the coarse cloth clothes Huang Rong, who had lived in luxury since she was a child, and the obvious signs of battle, it was not difficult to imagine how much suffering she had suffered these days.
"Rong'er, this is Lord Xia, who has profound cultivation and great magical powers! It was Lord Xia who found you with a strange object, and used the immortal magical powers to bring dad to this island... …”
Huang Yaoshi took Huang Rong’s hand and asked her to meet Xia Tian.
Although he is known as "Dong Xi", he has an eccentric personality and is not constrained by etiquette.
But Xia Tian's move was indeed a "favor" for him. He risked danger and traveled thousands of miles to find his daughter. This kind of kindness was hard to repay!
"Human lord?"
Huang Rong looked at Xia Tian, a pair of big black and white eyes filled with curiosity.
Whether it is the people of the Illusory Sea or the earth's historical figures, after arriving, the will of the earth provided their minds with the concept of "human territory"!
Therefore, I am no stranger to the "Lord", but I have never seen it with my own eyes.
But Huang Yaoshi, who has always had a higher eye than his head, actually respected a person so much. This was the first time Huang Rong had seen him.
“Lord Xia built a city in the Eternal Land specifically to accommodate the human race. Now it has gathered tens of thousands of people and built various weaving and lumber workshops... and a powerful army to guard it. Afraid of attacks from any alien races or ferocious beasts..."
And after knowing the situation of Xia Tian's territory.
Both Huang Rong and the "barbarians" from another world behind her were very surprised.
For them, who live a hard life and not only have to face attacks from gluttonous alien beasts every day, but also have to protect a powerful alien race on the island at all times, such a 'human territory' is obviously a bit difficult. Imagine!
And just when Huang Rong opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
“Well, some creatures with bodies covered with a layer of dark red leather armor and heads like crocodiles are approaching here!”
Suddenly, Xia Tian’s eyes moved and he spoke. .
"No, it's the crocodile man! He must have been attracted by the roar of the 'Glutious Overlord' just now...Dad, Lord Xia, please follow us to take shelter in the cave..."
The expressions of Huang Rong and several "barbarians" changed slightly, and they immediately said to Xia Tian and Huang Yaoshi.
"Lord Xia, look..."
Huang Yaoshi looked at Xia Tian.
"Well, I'm more interested in the 'Taotie Alien Beast' people on this island. It doesn't hurt to stay for a while longer."
Although Huang Rong has been found, in theory, this can be done He left and returned to the territory with the "Jiangshan Battle Map", but Xia Tian had other plans.
First of all, the "Gluttony Cells" on these "Gluttony Alien Beasts" are valuable and definitely worth spending time to collect.
Secondly, I knew through the "Eye of God" that there was a historical figure like He Shen beside Huang Rong, so Xia Tian didn't plan to miss it!
Besides, Zhuge Liang is in charge of the territory, and his absence for a period of time will not have much impact at all.
You also have a "positioning teleportation scroll" in your hand, so you can go back at any time!
……
“Miss Huang is back……”
At the entrance of the cave with piles of rocks, several barbarian men from another world wearing simple clothes and holding bone soldiers immediately brightened up with joy when they saw Huang Rong!
"Thank God, nothing happened..."
He Shen breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of his high-hanging heart.
After all, he has integrated "Glutton Cells" and needs to eat "delicious food" to maintain his body shape. If something happens to Huang Rong, he may not be able to escape the fate of becoming a gluttonous beast. !
"Uncle He, this is my father Huang Yaoshi, and this is Lord Xia..."
"Lord?"
He Shen's expression changed when he heard this, and he glanced at Xia Tian.
"Hurry, please, please come inside!"
Immediately, with smiles on their faces, Xia Tian and Huang Yaoshi were led into the cave.
“Is it really He Shen?”
At the moment of insight, Xia Tian already knew He Shen's information.
[Heshen (Gold)]
[Level] Mortal Transformation Level 4
[Strong Power] Not added to the territory, unable to gain insight.
[Talent] Money can communicate with the gods (the more money and treasures you can control, the faster your practice speed will be, and the higher the skill limit will be)
[Characteristics] Greed (extremely greedy for money and power, in order to be able to explode beyond the limit of ability), official business (when dealing with foreign races and making transactions, you can gain the favor of the other party)
[Skills 】"The Taotie Book·Gold·Original"...Government (Grandmaster), Business (Grandmaster)...
[Description] A golden man with great potential!
"Excellent potential, worthy of the famous He Shen, in terms of potential is not inferior to Jia Xu!"
Xia Tian's heart moved.
It has to be said that although He Shen was one of the top corrupt officials in ancient times, He Shen's ability to leave a name in history is definitely not bad.
Historically, he served in many important positions in the Qing court, including chief scholar, military minister, official minister, household minister, criminal minister, minister of bodyguards, and infantry commander.
It can be said that he has an extremely rich resume and full political experience.
At the same time, he also personally managed the "financial industry" and opened nearly a hundred pawn shops and hundreds of large and small banks. He had a large number of business contacts with the famous British East India Company and the Guangdong No. 13 Bank. Accumulated a lot of wealth!
Therefore, after entering the "Eternal Land", He Shen's two skills of "Government Affairs" and "Business" were directly maxed out in the evaluation of the will of the earth!
"In the territory, the market has been officially opened. Although Hongfu Nu is still competent...but in the future, if the territory develops further, I am afraid that a professional person responsible for managing the territory's finances, business operations, etc. will be needed..."< br>
According to the plan made before Xia Tian, it is natural that this important organization that manages the territory’s “money” should be in charge of a golden hero!
Heshen, there is no doubt that he meets the requirements
But the question is, who is Heshen?
Historically, after He Shen was sacked, about one billion taels of silver were confiscated from his home. Together with various antiques and treasures, it was almost equivalent to the total fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty for fifteen years at that time!
And He Shen's own fortune only lasted twenty years in total.
For such a person, Xia Tian is not comfortable letting him take charge of the territory’s finances!
Even if there is a golden platform, it can only affect his loyalty to people, but cannot stop his love for money.
“Forget it, you can first take it back to the territory and arrange a sinecure that does not involve money... and see if you can change his temper.”
As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country, but hard to change the nature. , Xia Tian is not sure whether this big corrupt official will restrain himself?
"This island is surrounded by the sea and stretches as far as the eye can see... I wonder how the two of you got here?"
At this time, He Shen was discussing with Huang Yaoshi, his slightly round face full of excitement. .
Obviously, it is realized that since outsiders can come, people on the natural island can also leave.
It means that what was originally thought to be a dead end in half a month, suddenly has a glimmer of hope.
But who is Huang Yaoshi?
For such matters related to Xia Tian's secrets, he was naturally tight-lipped.
Besides, he himself didn't know much about Xia Tian's plan, so he just chatted with He Shen about various information about this island.
And Xia Tian was not in a hurry to say that he could take people away.
Because besides He Shen, there are almost a hundred "barbarians" in this cave.
The "Eye of Insight" shows that these people have the same "cursed shackles" characteristics as Bone Elder.
It shows that the other party is a human race from another world.
Compared to the human race of the earth, which is relatively "knowledgeable", what are the personalities of these tall "barbarians", and whether they can be integrated with the residents of the territory when they are brought back to the territory, are all things that Xia Tian needs to investigate clearly!
"Dad, Lord Xia, come and try my craftsmanship..."
At this time, Huang Rong brought out some food from the cave and placed it next to the two of them, her face Shang said with anticipation. A dense, crystal light appeared on the surface of these meals.
It is the "luminous food" I saw in the "Eye of God" before, the top spiritual meal!
Especially the rice that exudes five-color light. After just simple cooking, it already has very strong spiritual power. This is because these rice are not cooked from ordinary rice, but a "five-color spiritual power". rice".
“Lingmi, it turned out to be Lingmi!”
Xia Tian’s face suddenly showed surprise.
At this stage, "Lingmi" is undoubtedly very rare.
Even if the territory relies on the "power of the essence of the sun and the moon" to cultivate plants at the transcendent level, they are still far from the real "spiritual rice"!
And spiritual rice is indispensable to the human territory.
Because, as the cultivation level increases, the food intake also increases simultaneously.
The prescribed diet for the refugees in Xia Tian is one pound of rice and one pound of ferocious beast meat every day. This is only for ordinary humans.
The higher the level, the greater the demand for food. Just like in ancient times, Lian Po could eat "a bucket of rice and ten pounds of meat" in one meal.
People at the mortal level need "ten pounds of rice and ten pounds of ferocious beast meat" every day!
And this will inevitably cause a big problem, that is, people are not the legendary Pixiu, who can only enter but not exit.
But as much as you eat, you need to take out as much!
For many monks, eating too much food can also be a very troublesome thing.
Lingmi can solve this problem very well.
Because spiritual rice contains very abundant spiritual power, for practitioners, they only need to eat an ordinary person's portion to maintain their own practice!
Of course, Xia Tian does not need to worry about digestion problems if he eats too much.
Because, Cook Ding's butcher knife can condense the entire beast's meat into one essence, allowing Xia Tian to obtain a large amount of spiritual power and nutrition with only a small amount of food!
However, even if Chef Ding relies on the help of rare items, the taste of the meal he makes is indeed not as good as that of Huang Rong, who has master-level cooking skills and special characteristics.
Each grain of this five-color rice has distinct grains and exudes spiritual power.
Pick up a ball of rice with chopsticks and put it into your mouth. A surging spiritual energy and fragrance have exploded in your mouth. When you swallow it into your stomach, spiritual power with different attributes blooms and blends into the five internal organs and six internal organs of the body. , these internal organs will be quickly nourished and strengthened!
After the internal organs are baptized, they are transformed into the five powers of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" and then injected into the limbs and bones, generating a large amount of qi and blood, so that the body's physical attributes begin to skyrocket!
"This, just this bowl of rice, actually increased my basic strength by a hundred kilograms..."
Xia Tian felt very surprised. I couldn't help it, so I ate another bowl of five-color rice. This time I gained about fifty kilograms of strength!
Although the effect has weakened, it is still very powerful. Then Xia Tian ate bowl after bowl of "five-color rice" for ten consecutive bowls, and actually succeeded in increasing his strength to more than 10,000 kilograms!
"It's so easy. Now it breaks through 10,000 pounds?"
Feeling the changes in her body, Xia Tian's heart is filled with joy. Is this the power of the combination of spiritual rice and the master's cooking skills?
"Wow, Dad...all our rice was eaten by him..."
However, Xia Tian's behavior of eating ten bowls of five-color rice in a row.
But he made a barbarian "little girl" cry who was standing in the corner of the cave nearby, watching him eat, drooling constantly at the corner of his mouth.
"Ah, I'm sorry..."
After Xia Tian asked about the reason, his face showed a bit of shame.
He only focused on improving his cultivation level, but he forgot that this kind of spiritual rice has amazing effects and is naturally valuable.
In a sense, it is not inferior to spiritual stones.
When the food of these barbarians was no longer enough, he ate ten bowls of spiritual rice at one time, which was equivalent to a meal for this barbarian tribe of a hundred people.
These adult barbarians did not speak to stop them, they were already very "hospitable", but the "children" were childish and could not help but tell the truth.
"I was negligent, little sister, don't cry. Come on, I'll give you something delicious..."
Xia Tian's brows flashed with light, and the battle map of his destiny's rare objects unfolded in the air.
A jujube tree growing in the desert in the center of the scroll began to tremble, and it dropped crystal-like jade-like jujubes, like red agate. Thumb-sized jujubes flew out of the scroll!
“This is a date...it’s delicious. Put it in your mouth and bite it.”
Xia Tian looked at this little barbarian girl who was said to be only eight years old, but was already two taller than Wu Dalang.
Telatively, he stretched out two plump fingers, carefully picked up the date and put it into his mouth.
“It’s delicious... I’m not hungry anymore, pretty girl!”
The next moment, the little girl’s eyes lit up.
These Elaeagnus were obtained in the "Secret Realm Challenge" before summer and planted in the "Jiangshan Battle Map".
Its characteristic is that it can make the eater "full", which is exactly the opposite of the "hunger" of the "gluttonous cells" itself. In a sense, it can just suppress some of the side effects.
But only part of it.
After all, Taotie cells are "wonders", and their characteristics contain the power of rules, which cannot be completely offset by ordinary metamorphosis plants!
"Are these five-color spiritual rice planted after entering the eternal land?"
After taking out a hundred Elaeagnus angustifolia from the "Jiangshan Battle Map" and giving them to the cave. After each of the barbarians in the game sent one, Xia Tian asked Huang Rong.
"Yes! The 'Five-Colored Rice' was grown by these 'barbarians' themselves."
The girl with black hair like a waterfall and a gold belt tied on her head nodded after hearing this.
"So, these 'barbarians' should have a piece of spiritual soil?"
Xia Tian's eyes couldn't help but move
Spiritual rice is different from ordinary rice that absorbs the essence of the sun and moon. Or spiritual plants that grow from the free spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As a plant that can be cultivated in large quantities and used for food, the prerequisite for cultivation must be a piece of "spiritual soil" containing abundant spiritual power!
"I once did have a piece of 'spiritual soil', but now I don't have it...it was taken away by the crocodile people!"
It turns out that on this island, except for those "taotie strange beasts" Outside, the most powerful force is the Crocodile Tribe.
Moreover, there is a big feud with these "barbarians".
These "barbarians" from another world came to the eternal land. Their number was originally close to a thousand, and the fate of their own world itself also formed a strange object - a "human god statue" similar to the spider goddess statue of the dark elves. !
Its effect is to turn an area into "five-color spiritual soil".
However, after the second round of fusion of heaven and earth, the arrival of the crocodile tribe not only killed a large number of humans from other worlds.
It even occupied the area that originally belonged to the human race.
Even, a large number of tribesmen were sent to hunt down humans!
It wasn’t until I met Huang Rong and He Shen that I survived in this hidden mountain area.
"A strange building that can create 'spiritual soil'?"
Xia Tian's face lit up, there is no doubt that this is exactly what his territory needs!
“Since this island has two major forces, the ‘Taotie Alien Beast’ and the ‘Crocodile Man’, haven’t you guys considered ‘driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf’?”
Xia Tian thought After thinking about it, he said.
Although Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Zhuge Liang are not around.
But under the influence of these days, Xia Tian will also consider the problem from a tactical perspective!
“I have indeed thought about this.”
Huang Rong said.
“It’s just that those crocodile men are very powerful, even those gluttonous beasts will not attack their territory easily...unless...”
Then, something seemed to come to mind, Huang Rong suddenly raised her head and looked at Xia Tian.
"Unless it's the 'treasure meat' on the 'Glutton Overlord', when the aura is released, it should be able to attract a large number of gluttonous beasts to attack it!"
