White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World

Chapter 72 The initial establishment of the city-state

In the main hall, several law enforcement demon immortals from the Golden Immortal Realm were lined up in front, watching the twenty or so ferrymen with serious expressions.

These little monsters have been scared out of their wits for a long time. They never imagined that they would be liquidated.

"You have secretly increased the stakes and ignored the laws in the pavilion. You will be fined twenty iron rods and will be expelled from the pavilion after you hand over the money you earned!"

When the demons heard the bad news, they cried and howled, begging loudly for mercy.

"Pavilion Master, please spare my life!"

"Sir, we don't dare to do it anymore! Just accept the punishment and don't drive us away!"

For a time, there was endless wailing in the palace. Their position seemed low, but it was something that no amount of demons and immortals could ask for.

Not only can you get a salary, but you also have the protection of the treasure pavilion. You don't have to worry about the coveting of the big demon. Many people can't get in even if they squeeze their heads.

If these people hadn't had good luck and came here when Baoge first arrived, how could they have had such a good opportunity? But if they don’t cherish it, what’s the use of begging at this time?

Hearing the wailing, Xuanyu frowned and glanced at the executioner beside him. The demon immortal immediately understood and asked the guards to drag the little demons outside the hall for execution.

Seeing this, all the monsters knew that the master of the pavilion was really angry, and the executioner was very heavy-handed!

Moreover, the iron rod was not made of ordinary fine iron, but cold black iron. The blows on the body were extremely painful. Several little demons were broken apart before being hit ten times, and they vomited blood.

After twenty sticks were beaten, half of the little demons died on the spot, which shocked those who had the heart but not the courage to rejoice.

Of course Xuanyu knew that the punishment was extremely severe, but if he let him go lightly, where would the law of Baoge be? He couldn't always supervise these little monsters, so he might as well subdue them completely.

At this time, the few who survived were also dying. The demon soldiers and guards dragged them out of the island in the middle of the lake and threw them outside to die.

These little ferry demons are the lowest level, and there are naturally many others in other places. The crying in Qilin Pavilion did not stop that day. When it was time to turn on the lanterns, the number of people appointed in the pavilion was reduced by more than half!

Xuanyu was also a little tired. Although he was in charge of Qilin Pavilion, it was Chang Yi who was in charge of everything. He had been exploring these things, so he couldn't be blamed for what happened today.

After all, he never imagined that greed would be at work under such a generous reward.

"I won't stop you from asking for money, but you can't violate the laws of the pavilion. If you can't accept it, I won't stop you from going to the Treasure Pavilion to receive your salary and then leave."

All the demons and immortals even said they didn’t dare to leave? They couldn't help but feel bitter when they thought about the hardships and dangers of practicing alone. If it weren't for Bao Pavilion, they would have struggled to transform.

As a large number of little demons were cleared out, the pavilion suddenly felt empty. Xuan Yu then issued another notice to recruit people, but this time he made the rules of the pavilion clear, so that no one would have any luck.

The impact of this turmoil was great, and the severity of the punishment shocked all the demons and immortals. However, the demons outside were still moved by the news. Some demons and immortals in the Xuanxian realm were even willing to do the ferry work. They had to sigh at the catastrophe. It is difficult for the demon clan at the bottom to survive.

In this way, the manpower in the pavilion has become full again, the weather has become several times better than before, and some little monsters can also trade fairly, making the surrounding area more prosperous.

The Buzhou Pavilion was pretty much the same as here, but Rong Qin was soft-hearted and expelled these little monsters from the house with only a salary fine, without any additional punishment.

But doing so made all the demons and immortals even more ashamed. Their former acquaintances also moved away from them, and everyone showed contempt when they saw him. It was really more uncomfortable than letting them die.

After the stick was applied, Chang Yi, who was staying in the Fantasy Pavilion, immediately felt that the karma in various treasure pavilions had dropped a lot. Although it was very weak before, there were always some hidden dangers.

Chang Yi was in a good mood and continued to refine the ninth-grade black lotus.

After the black lotus was intact, its growth rate became extremely fast. It took only a hundred years to give birth to the tenth grade, and its power increased to a higher level, but Chang Yi no longer cared much about its protective ability.

Refining it is just to feed back his own origin. As an existence comparable to a saint, there are no Taoist weapons that can hurt him.

As the refining process deepened, Chang Yi realized that his origin was in a mysterious state. He was just a little short of being promoted to another level, but this layer of window paper could not be pierced.

He clearly understood that this was because he lacked the merits of opening the sky. As a chaotic spiritual root, the prehistoric spiritual energy could not help him improve at all.

Then he looked towards the sky, feeling the inspiration falling from the sky in his heart.

At this time, Dayu, who returned to the tribe with the treasures, had been promoted to the rank of Earth Immortal. Those spiritual fruits and fine wine were truly immortal treasures. Not only did they push him to the realm of Earth Immortal, but some of his soldiers also became human immortals.

He took out the sacred soil in the jade beads and observed it for a while. He found that the soil swelled when it encountered water, and returned to its original appearance after the water disappeared. If left alone, more sacred soil would be produced in a few days.

But although this soil was strange, he didn't know what to use it for, so he had to temporarily put it in the back mountain of the clan and let it grow freely.

That piece of black iron was a bit strange. When he first came back, he wanted to take it out of the jade bead. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got it, he staggered and his arm was broken. This shows how heavy the iron is.

It wasn't until he was promoted to an Earth Immortal that he could barely hold it, but he could only lift it up. It was absolutely impossible to use it to make weapons.

He also discovered that if he put this black iron into the raging river, the water surface would become calm instantly. Combining it with the Vast Sea Sutra passed down by the immortals, he understood some of the laws of water, and his cultivation level improved a lot. It is to touch the threshold of immortality.

Although his cultivation level was high, he did not go to war and commit crimes everywhere. Instead, he helped poor tribes and rescued the human race invaded by lich, which made his reputation greatly increase.

After becoming an immortal, his lifespan became longer. Many of the clansmen he had seen grow old since he was a child. After several generations, no one dared to call Yu by his name. To show respect, everyone began to call him Dayu instead.

Yu is his name, and "Da" is his title.

In this way, the surrounding tribes spontaneously moved towards Dayu's clan, some to seek shelter, and others to admire his open-mindedness and broad mind.

More and more people gathered, and the tribe began to be unable to accommodate them. Seeing this, Dayu raised his arms and directly knocked down the original mud houses and thatched huts, imitating the immortal buildings in his dreams, and established a rough city-state.

After a few years passed, the city walls outside the city-state were built, which not only prevented wild beasts from invading, but also blocked the wind and sand, so that the human race no longer always looked dusty.

There are many houses in the city, and with a few immortals running them, there is no need to worry about their stability. Coupled with the aesthetics that Dayu learned from the immortals, everything is simple and beautiful.

Although the days are getting better day by day, food is still relatively scarce. Hunting alone is simply not enough to feed so many people, and the surrounding animals are almost being wiped out. They must find a new way out.

Hearing that there was a tribe of the Jiang family far away in the north, and that there was a man in the tribe who was born with knowledge, who could not only cure all diseases but also had many "straws" that could fill his stomach, so Dayu wanted to look for it.

Just as he was packing his bags, he suddenly heard someone running outside to report hurriedly, saying that a large number of demon soldiers were coming from the east. The leader of the group was so powerful that he could kill tens of thousands of people with a single swing of his sword!

When Dayu heard this, he was immediately surprised. The human race thought that they had no blood feud with the demon race, and he had never hunted or killed a little demon that had developed intelligence. How could such a thing happen?
