Chapter 181 - 181:1 have a technique that can grant the Destiny Golden Dragon body.
Establish a kingdom?
Everyone was taken aback at first, then they looked at each other with confusion.
“Sir, although our Black Wind Town has been developing well lately, there are only over a hundred thousand people, and the territory is only a hundred miles in size. To establish a kingdom…”
Gentleman Bai She stepped forward with a worried expression and said with a bow.
“I know what you are trying to say.”
Xuanqing nodded.
Establishing a kingdom in this world is different from just raising a flag like in the real world. It requires the right timing, location, and people.
The so-called right timing means that the kingdom you establish needs to be recognized by the Heavenly Court, otherwise, your country would perish due to disasters like continuous droughts.
The importance of location… stems from national luck. If the territory of your country is too small, it cannot bear the national luck, and even Golden Immortals with Three Flowers Gathering at the Top could not withstand the backlash.
And finally… People!
Unlike the location, in addition to the number of people, the health and wealth of the people also contribute to different levels of Human Path Qi.
The formation of a Human Emperor depends on an abundant supply of Human Path Qi. It is even said that the strength of a Human Emperor is related to the amount of Human Path Qi in his subordinates.
In summary,
With Black Wind Town’s current territory of one hundred square-miles and a population of over one hundred thousand, it’s a bit of a stretch to establish a kingdom.
“Everyone!”
Xuanqing’s eyes were filled with a sharp gleam as he looked at his followers.
“Black Wind is located on the border between two countries. The issues of land and population are easily solvable.”
As the saying goes, if you store grain, I store weapons; if there are any needs, just go take them.
Xuanqing hadn’t paid much attention to Black Wind before because it was not closely related to the Taoist path, but now, the possibility of forming the Divine’s flower depends on it, so he would naturally take it more seriously.
“For the population, anyone willing to come to Black Wind will be rewarded with one acre of fertile land and exemption from agriculture tax.”
“As for the land, the Yellow Wind Ridge to the west of Black Wind, which borders the Western Hami Country, was once occupied by the Yellow Wind Monster before this humble one slayed it. Therefore, the Yellow Wind Ridge should belong to me!”
Xuanqing sneered.
Upon hearing their master’s analysis,
The eyes of all the subordinates became brighter and brighter. As long as the problems of population and territory are resolved, wouldn’t it be easy for their master to establish a kingdom?
As for the recognition from the Heavenly Court, they did not see it as a challenge. With their master’s profound background, establishing a kingdom would be a trivial matter!
“Alright, that settles the matter of establishing a kingdom. All of you, go prepare and disperse. Gentleman Bai She, stay behind!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Yes… Sir!”
After bowing, everyone slowly retreated, leaving only Gentleman Bai She still standing there.
At this moment,
Just as Gentleman Bai She was wondering why he had been asked to stay behind, he heard a shocking statement.
“Qingxu, do you want to become the Human Emperor?”
Human Emperor’s seat?
Gentleman Bai She’s body trembled, and after he realized what was said, he quickly knelt down and said in fear and trepidation:
“Reporting to Sir, this subordinate is a member of the Devil Race, how can I assume the esteemed position of Human Emperor? This subordinate… is terrified!”
Seeing this,
Xuanqing’s expression was faint, “In this humble one’s service, the only humans are Qingwan and Black Bear, who has a careless personality.”
“Under these circumstances, if you don’t become the Human Emperor… should I become the Human Emperor?”
Upon hearing this,
Gentleman Bai She looked up and cautiously said, “Or… Sir, you could just pick any random human?”
“Hehe~”
Xuanqing sneered and waved his hand dismissively.
The saying “it’s easy to know people’s faces, but not their hearts” is true. Even if you carefully choose a kind-hearted and capable human, who knows if they will change after becoming the Human Emperor?
Under such circumstances, it’s better to revoke Gentleman Bai She’s Immortal Official status and let him become the Human Emperor. At least he knows the limits and will not betray Xuanqing.
“Qingxu, your original form is an ordinary green snake, right?” Xuanqing asked in a condensed voice.
“Yes, Sir!”
Gentleman Bai She nodded, a trace of dimness flashed in his eyes.
His humble origin had always been a pain in his heart, with slow cultivation and low status.
Before he joined Sir’s sect, if it hadn’t been for big brother Black Bear’s care, his life as a small green snake would not only have faced difficulties wearing a Taoist robe and learning alchemy, but also merely surviving.
Xuanqing nodded slightly, and then said with a smile:
“I have a technique that uses the Emperor’s Qi to refine one’s body, transforming it into a Luck Golden Dragon body. The divine bloodline… is even better than the Dragon Clan!”
Upon hearing this.
Achieve the Luck Golden Dragon body?
Gentleman Bai She breathed rapidly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
At this moment.
Seeing that his subordinate had been silent for a long time, Xuanqing asked again, “Qingxu, are you willing to take on the position of the Human Emperor?”
“I’m… willing!”
“I’m willing to be the Human Emperor!”
Gentleman Bai She hesitated no more, bowed down, his voice trembling with emotion.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing nodded his head and asked again, “To become the Human Emperor, you need to revoke your immortal status. Are you willing to do so?”
“Subordinate… is willing!”
Gentleman Bai She’s eyes were determined, still showing no hesitation.
If he was asked about the importance of his immortal status before he joined Sir, even if he knew it could change his bloodline, he would still hesitate between the two.
But since following Sir, everything in his devil race perspective changed. The so-called immortal status wasn’t even worth mentioning for Sir, and even the Heavenly Court’s Immortal Officials had to descend to the mortal world to confer upon Sir.
“Good!

Xuanqing nodded with a smile.
And so.
The establishment of Black Wind Town was decided. They just needed to wait for the population to grow slightly before they could hold the worship of heaven ceremony.
Black Wind Town.
At the Cross Street Intersection.
There was a constant stream of people, bustling with excitement. Various mobile vendors and wandering commoners were coming and going endlessly.
Ever since they planted new food crops, the entire Black Wind Town became exceptionally prosperous. The people’s households were full of surpluses; either they turned the grain into alcohol or made them into pastry snacks.
It could be said… any wealthy and prosperous area was built upon the foundation of a worry-free food supply. Otherwise, there would still be frozen bones on the roads behind the gates of luxury.
“Announcement!
II
Boom-
A gong sounded, echoing through the streets and alleys.
Two young men dressed in government clothing were seen, one holding a bronze gong in front, and the other holding a list behind.
“The Blue Sky Lord feels the suffering of the common people… and wants to establish Black Wind Town… into the Black Wind Country. Upon the establishment of the country, every citizen will be allocated a piece of good farmland, with no agriculture tax and half of the business tax!”
“The government office is also offering rewards. Whoever brings one hundred people from Wusi Tibetan Region or the Western Hami Country, will get one tael of silver; whoever brings ten hundred people, will get a piece of good farmland; whoever brings over a thousand people, will get one hundred taels of gold!”
As soon as these words were spoken.
“Hiss-”
The surrounding crowd of people gasped in shock.
“No agriculture tax, doesn’t that mean we can keep everything we grow?”
“My goodness- giving one piece of good farmland to each citizen in our country, and even giving gold and silver for bringing foreigners.”
“Hey, Old Seven Wu, I heard that your sister married someone from Wusi Tibetan Country… why don’t we….”
