The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 486-490

Chapter 486 - Rock Giant Walls

Zhao Fu planned to leave the rest of the Body Rocks to be used in the future on the four boundaries of Great Qin. Those places were the boundaries between China and other nations, and because they would definitely suffer many battles, they needed to have powerful defenses.

As the central city of Great Qin, the Great Qin City was incredibly important. However, if the enemies were able to reach the Great Qin City directly and attack it, that meant that Great Qin would most likely lose.

After all, if a faction's core was attacked, even if it wasn't destroyed, it would be crippled. As such, it wasn't enough that the central city was powerful; the other cities also needed to be powerful to create defensive lines.

As such, Zhao Fu couldn't just focus on the Great Qin City, and he had to develop other cities as well to create armor for the central city. Only then would Great Qin become powerful - no matter how powerful one's central city was, if all of the other cities were broken through, the nation would no longer have the right to be called a 'nation.'

Zhao Fu didn't just want to be a lord with a few cities; what he wanted was a nation with countless cities and subjects, then an empire.

The Body Rocks were quite easy to use - all one had to do was place them on the city walls, which would trigger a system announcement asking if he wanted to fuse them into the city walls. After selecting yes, they would automatically fuse like rocks sinking into quicksand. After fusing these Body Rocks, Zhao Fu received another system announcement!

[Rock Giant's Walls]: City walls with greatly enhanced defense. They have great resistance to ordinary magic.

After seeing this, Zhao Fu felt quite satisfied. Following this, Zhao Fu received news that Great Qin could now refine Stage 3 medicinal pills.

These were the medicinal pills refined using the Windbell Fruits, and because Zhao Fu placed great importance on them, he personally went to the pill-refining workshop to take a look. Zhang Baishu was the primary person in charge of refining medicinal pills, and he was Great Qin's advanced Pill Master.

Zhao Fu watched as Zhang Baishu continuously placed ingredients into a pill furnace and used a formation to support the flames as he refined the ingredients. Zhang Baishu controlled the flames and used all sorts of techniques before medicinal pills that were as big as peas appeared.

Zhao Fu picked up one of the Windbell Pills that had just come out of the furnace, which was still quite hot and gave off white steam and a fruity fragrance. Zhao Fu used his power to cool it down before swallowing it.

After entering his body, the Windbell Pill turned into a green wave of spirit energy that spread throughout his body. Its effects were many times better than a Stage 2 medicinal pill's, and Zhao Fu grinned in satisfaction.

With these Windbell Pills, Great Qin's soldiers' cultivation speed would be far superior to soldiers of ordinary system main cities. After all, Great Qin's medicinal pills were now of high Stage and quality.

Next, Zhao Fu refined Shi Jian, Liu Sheng, and Yue Linping's corpses and obtained three SSS grade Orbs, two Stage 3 Blood God Pills, and one Stage 4 Blood God Pill.

Following this, Zhao Fu called Sima Cuo over. After using an Innate Talent Blood Crystal, his grade was SSS grade, and he had a General Fate. It was a pity that Zhao Fu didn't have enough Soldier Souls, or Zhao Fu would've wanted to see what sort of General Star he would awaken.

Zhao Fu called him over to give him Heavenstone City's City Lord Seal. They had re-established Heavenstone City already, so Zhao Fu now made Sima Cuo the City Lord. Zhao Fu had half of the 200,000 original residents remain in Heavenstone City while he distributed the remaining half to the other cities.
