After leaving Mother Ancestor Temple, Ouyang Shuo turned around and headed towards Shing Wong Temple and Earth God Temple.
As Mazu Temple could only use one pill, there were still four of the five incense essence pills that the King of Shang, Di Xin, had given Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo wanted to see what kind of effect it would have if he used other temples.
He first went to the Shing Wong Temple and took out an Incense Essence Pill. As expected, a system notification popped up.
"System notification: Player Say You Have No Clothes is in possession of Incense Essence Pill, do you want to use it?"
"Use!"
With a swoosh, the Incense Essence Pill turned into a white light and entered the City God statue.
"System Notification: The Shing Wong Statue has been nourished by the Incense Essence Pill, and the Shing Wong Temple has gained a new building property – [Monitor the People] (Reduces the territory crime rate by 30%)."
So that's how it is. It's actually a derivative building characteristic, which is very precious. Ouyang Shuo persisted and rushed to the Earth Temple. He consumed another Incense Essence Pill.
"System Update: The Earth God Statue has been nourished by the Incense Essence Pill, the Earth Temple has derived a building property — — [Harvest of Five Grains] (Increase the production of crops in the territory by 10%)."
In the end, Ouyang Shuo arrived at the Yellow Emperor Shrine, but the result disappointed him. The Incense Essence Pill was ineffective against the Yellow Emperor Shrine. He speculated that one reason was that the Yellow Emperor's Temple was defined as an ancestral temple, so it needed to maintain the purity of sacrifices, so it was impossible to use incense essence pills to increase the number of incense offerings. The second reason was that the Yellow Emperor's Temple was already a complete hidden building, so there was no room for further improvement.
Ouyang Shuo was not discouraged. He still had two Incense Essence Pills left. Once the county became a grade-3 city, the Confucian Temple and the Martial Temple would appear.
In the afternoon, the Supreme Court sent an envoy to Shanhai County to officially reward Ouyang Shuo, the Marquis of Lian Province, on behalf of the imperial court. Upon receiving the notice, the Department of Culture and Education set up an incense table in the Lord's Mansion to welcome the envoy of the imperial court.
Ouyang Shuo led the civil and military officials to receive the imperial edict.
"In accordance with the will of the Heavens, the Emperor decreed: How can a mutant be without clothes? Descending into the wilderness, the Heavens bestowed a great responsibility upon him. Cutting through thistles and thorns, sweeping away the evil. His meritorious service was outstanding. His prestige spread throughout the world, and his name spread far and wide. He was specially conferred the title of Marquis of Lian Province to show his meritorious service. End of the Emperor! "
"Thank you for your grace, my Lord." Ouyang Shuo kowtowed in gratitude.
The rewards of the imperial court consisted of two parts. One was the conferment of nobility, and the other was the reward of gold, silver, and jewels. The rewards brought by the emissary of the Imperial Court were mainly four items.
The first item was a feudal vassal seal that symbolized the status of the Marquis of Lianzhou. The seal was emitting a golden red light with golden flower patterns. It weighed about three hundred grams and had a side length of thirty-six centimeters. It had a crouching tiger button and a tiger head lid that looked like the character "Wang". There was a small hole at the top of the seal arm. At the bottom of the big seal, there were four characters engraved: Seal of the Marquis of Lianzhou.
The Vassal Seal would replace the Lord's Seal and become Ouyang Shuo's personal Seal.
The second item was the Geomancy Map of Lian Province, which symbolized the fief of the Marquis of Lian Province. It was a panoramic map of the Lian Province Basin. The Geomancy Map of Lian Province was drawn in great detail. Not only were the mountains and rivers drawn, but even the various mineral resources were clearly marked on the map. It was probably drawn by Gaia.
Awarding the Geomancy Map of Lianzhou did not mean that the Lianzhou Basin would be given to Ouyang Shuo as a fief. It could only be said that Ouyang Shuo had become the nominal lord of the Lianzhou Basin. He had a righteous cause and was a cut above others.
The third item was a feudal vassal's ceremonial attire. It was used to offer sacrifices to the deceased and to offer sacrifices. It was paired with a seven-colored crown and black robe. The robe was embroidered with three symbols: Hua Insect, Fire, and Zong Yi. The robe was embroidered with four symbols: Embroidered Seaweed, Pink Rice, Fan, and Fu.
The fourth item was the Red Bow and Arrow, which symbolized the Marquis of Lian Province's power of conquest. It was a vermilion bow and a hundred vermilion arrows. With the Red Bow and Arrow, Ouyang Shuo's conquest of Lian Province was a matter of course. No one could say anything.
The above four items together established Ouyang Shuo's status as the Marquis of Lian Province. It set him apart from the other feudal lords and made him an influential feudal lord in the wilderness.
Among them, the Geomancy Map of Lian Province and the Red Bow and Arrow were immediately enshrined in the Yellow Emperor Shrine after they were bestowed.
Apart from these four items, the imperial court also awarded him a hundred bolts of silk, a box of jewels, a box of jade, a box of gold and silver, five fine horses, and a luxurious carriage. Five horses pulling the carriage was the etiquette of the feudal lords.
After the imperial court's special envoy received the reward from Xu Shuda, he immediately returned it to Dali without any delay. The imperial court's reward to Ouyang Shuo caused the entire territory to be in an uproar. The people felt honored.
Ouyang Shuo ordered Zi Su to store the imperial court's rewards into the Lord's Mansion's treasury. A box of gold totaled ten thousand gold coins, which was taken away by Ouyang Shuo. A box of silver totaled ten thousand silver coins, which was allocated to the Lord's Mansion's expenses.
Amidst the clamor, it was already evening. After accompanying Bing'er for dinner, Ouyang Shuo returned to his room and began his unshakable cultivation. Ever since he migrated, Ouyang Shuo had made the evenings his fixed time for cultivation.
…
Gaia's first year, August 16th. Shanhai County welcomed another promotion.
Ouyang Shuo walked into the meeting hall and silently chanted the words "Territory Promotion". A white light flashed and a golden stone tablet slowly rose from the ground in the middle of the meeting hall. He pressed his right hand on the front of the stone tablet and the system notification sounded.
"System Notification: Testing Shanhai County's promotion conditions …"
"Condition 1: The population has reached 50000, the maximum population limit has been met!"
Due to Operation Lightning and the settlement of the players, the population of Shanhai County had greatly increased. It had reached the maximum population of 50,000 a month in advance.
"Condition 2: All basic construction has been completed, the requirements have been met!"
The only troublesome part of a Level 2 county was the Qiyuan. After the arrival of the team of experts, an old man who loved Go in real life was temporarily appointed as the Qiyuan's director.
"Condition 3: The feudal lord's title is at least a First-Grade Earl, the requirements have been met!"
The requirements for a First-Grade Earl's title had stumped many feudal lords. It was reported that Danyang County, Red Blood County, and Handan County had been promoted to Level 2 county. Unfortunately, they were still far from reaching Level 3.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Who Says Nothing for establishing Shanhai County. All the promotion conditions have been met. Do you want to upgrade?"
"Upgrade!"
On the stone tablet, a golden light shot into the sky and exploded in the sky. It turned into a golden halo and spread in all directions. The halo extended to the new border of the territory and disappeared again.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says Nothing for becoming the first feudal lord in the China server to be promoted to Level 3 county. The reward is 2,200 Achievement Points!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says Nothing for becoming the first feudal lord in the China server to be promoted to Level 3 county. The reward is 2,200 Achievement Points!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says Nothing for becoming the first feudal lord in the China server to be promoted to Level 3 county. The reward is 2,200 Achievement Points!"
Shanhai County's promotion was a matter of course. It no longer piqued the interest of the players. On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo's appointment as the Marquis of Lianzhou was still a hot topic among the players.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says Nothing for leveling up his territory to Level 3 county. Three basic buildings will be randomly selected. Player may choose one of them."
"System Announcement: Three buildings have been randomly selected. They are the Brothel, the Bell and Drum Tower, and the Martial Temple. Please choose!"
"I choose the Brothel!"
"System Announcement: The building is being automatically generated. Please check for yourself!"
With a flash of white light, the golden stone tablet sank into the ground again. Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check Shanhai County's attributes.
[Territory]: Shanhai County (Level 3 County)
[Feudal Lord]: Who Says Nothing (Level 3 Marquis)

[Subsidiary Territories]: Beihai County, Qiushui County, Youyi County
List of Basic Construction Buildings:
[Brothel]: A place of prostitution. Construction Requirement: Geisha, brothel building blueprint, 8000 units of wood, 4000 units of green bricks, 5000 units of stone. Construction Time: 10 days. (Note: The building is automatically generated.)

Compared to a second-tier county, a third-tier county's population limit and territory area would double. According to the normal spawn rate, it would take 167 days to break the population limit again.
Of course, it would be impossible to become a first-tier county city with just the basic requirements. Every time the territory was upgraded, there would be a strict test.
Upgrading to a township required the territory's index, while upgrading to a county city required the territory's defense and military strength. Ouyang Shuo had no idea what additional requirements were required to upgrade to a county city.
County cities were considered high-class territories, so the lord would not easily disclose the information about the promotion on the forum. Therefore, as an adventurer in his previous life, Ouyang Shuo only knew a little about it. (To be continued.)
