Chapter 1184: Six Pivots, Building on a Large Scale

Fierce Tooth General, the one and only third-realm Great Demon!

Human Perfected Form of the third realm is called Heavenly Human Grandmaster; it is a third-realm Great Demon, so it should be called Heavenly Demon Great King!

The Heavenly God is great, no need to say more!

Wiping away tears, loosening its thighs, the Fat Catfish stood with its fins akimbo, chest out and head high. Its black back and white belly became increasingly distinct. It was round, smooth, and very spirited. It stuck to the Dragon Palace main hall, jumping up and down. Taking advantage of a certain gray-hearted beast's lack of preparation, it moved like an antelope hanging its horns, drawing an arc and hitting the little Mirage Dragon.

"Ah ah ah, the fat catfish is in the water, proud and complacent, evil thief. Traitor! Rebel!"

The black and white whirlwind intertwined in an instant. The little Mirage Dragon spat out white mist, transforming into two Great Demons on the left and right, three against one. The Fat Catfish was not panicked at all. Its belly bulged, bouncing the Mirage Tiger, its tail flicked, sending the Mirage Rhinoceros flying, its fish fins expanded, pressing the dragon head, watching the dragon claws dance.

Fighting a third-realm with a first-realm, even with the protection of ancestors, the Third Prince was still a miserable thick barrier between it and the Fierce Tooth General!

【Can consume 10 million Water Ze Essence, 10 points of River Governance, 60 points of River Favor to evolve Ink Tiger Flood Catfish into Tiger Ink King.】

【Tiger Ink King: Splash ink to form a world, swim freely, change mountains and rivers】

"Evolution to Demon King requires governance and favor?" Liang Qu was shocked by the number, and looking at the description, it was mostly like Ze Kingdom, consumption rather than conditions. Once used, it was gone.

10 million essence was also not a small amount.

Among them, the easiest to reach was probably the favor after the scale effect of governance rose.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black and white duo fought endlessly. A-Wei was lurking in the Southern Frontier. Inside the Dragon Palace main hall, Round Head, "Cannot Move," and Pincer all became Great Demons, all rejoicing.

Up to this point, the Fat Catfish was in the third realm, evolved ten times, far ahead.

Little Mirage Dragon recorded 300,000, "Cannot Move," Pincer, Round Head, evolved eight times, first-realm Great Demon.

A-Wei was at the peak of the demon beast realm, lagging behind for now, recorded 450,000; Red Mountain Imperial Capital evolved into a super grade, to be completed next year, sent Little Star to receive the "Net Lord" remains, to enter demon beast.

【Can consume 1 million Water Ze Essence to make Diamond Crab King grow】

【Diamond Crab King: Dwells by the earth veins, nourishes the earth veins and also nourishes itself, mutual feeding and symbiosis.】

Wrapped in crab velvet, the whole body was golden and clear, with eight feet beneath, hard armor on the body, a domineering crab king with a cold light.

Condensed divine ability 【Rigid Body Hegemonic Body】, absorbing the hardness of the earth, indestructible, invincible, and can also cooperate with the Fat Catfish's 【Splashing Ink】 to create greater heavy industry achievements.

【Can consume 1 million Water Ze Essence to make Emerald Wood Flood Crocodile grow】

【Emerald Wood Flood Crocodile: Holds the balance of vitality, bestows longevity and heals diseases, both taking and giving.】

"Cannot Move" was promoted to Perfected Form Great Demon, almost no different from the Emerald Dragon, with wooden horns on its head, sacred and majestic, leisurely and contented. Every scale was like green jade, glowing with soft light.

Seeing the dragon horns, the little Mirage Dragon was furious, hard-headedly pushing open the Fat Catfish's fat fins.

"Ah!!! My life is up to me—"

Bang!

The Fat Catfish pressed down the dragon head, picked its nostrils,

Within the Dragon Palace range, water weeds grew wildly, full of vitality.

Divine ability 【Green Wood Living Spirit】, 【Divine Wood Brand】 strong upgrade, the effect was fierce, increasing strength by 10%! Lasting for half an hour, the same recipient can nest up to two layers, increasing strength by 15%! Can nest up to eight people!

"Not based on your strength? Based on the recipient's?" Liang Qu was surprised.

"Cannot Move" flicked its tail.

"Heavenly Dragon increases strength by 30%, two layers increase by 50%, lasting for half a quarter of an hour, amazing!"

Half a quarter of an hour, increasing strength by 5%!

Even more shocking, it wasn't just strength growth. 【Green Wood Living Spirit】 could be converted into a Longevity Seal! Ineffective above Perfected Form, three years for Perfected Form! Below Perfected Form, increase longevity by ten years at a time! One person is effective once in a lifetime! Cooling down for three months at a time!

"Cannot Move" came from behind, about to rise.

Liang Qu discovered that he had underestimated "Cannot Move's" astonishing potential.

This possessed production materials much more powerful than A-Fei's, and it wouldn't be outdated. Now A-Fei couldn't eat the flood dragon's salary, and the frog tribe's engineering was also sunset, becoming a sunset industry.

Secondly, his Ze Kingdom could equip water beast divine abilities, use water beast divine abilities. Longevity Seal once every three months, could it become twice every three months? Cooling down calculated separately?

【Can consume 1 million Water Ze Essence to make Spirit River Porpoise Emperor grow】

【Spirit River Porpoise Emperor: Head of coordination, gathering the crowd into a whole, sharing disasters and glory, actually the symbiosis way of the group.】

Round Head also didn't change much, streamlined, just with an extra bit of nobility.

Divine ability 【Shared Glory】, group resonance, promoting significant growth of the same race, integrating as one, 【Water Rhyme Vitality】, 【Spirit River Rhythm】—"

The effects of various innate skills increased significantly, can link 【Prosperity of the Prince】, guard treasure fish spirituality, attract treasure fish, and make treasure fish grow!

Round Head had always been working for the frog tribe and turtle tribe. Now it wasn't just maintaining spirituality without loss, but could link 【Prosperity of the Prince】 to help grow spirituality?

Broken plates could increase essence absorption, river porpoises could increase spirituality.

The two tribes cooperated, and then arranged the Vast Sea Blue Gold 【Water Ze Essence +3】

Too many plans flashed through Liang Qu's mind, seeing Long Chen, Long Long Binglin, and Long Long Yanrui all waking up from meditation.

The timing was just right.

"Generals, listen to the order!"

"King!"

"I have three orders."

"Listen to the King's order."

"First order, establish Six Pivots in the Dragon Palace. First Elder Long Chen is appointed 【Scale Sect Minister】, head of scales, source of ten thousand sects, in charge of internal affairs; Second Elder Long Qingyi is appointed 【Ritual Minister】, in charge of rituals, educating water tribes;

Third Elder Long Long Zong Yin is appointed 【Pearl Treasury Minister】, pearl treasury, in charge of the world's wealth, concurrently serving as 【Shell Craft Minister】, shell craftsman's work, building cities and repairing palaces.

Long Long Binglin is appointed 【Scale Inspection Minister】, clearly inspecting scale tribes, examining performance; Ao Qingtian is appointed 【Law Punishment Minister】, in charge of laws, judging punishments."

"Yes!"

"Second order, Fierce Tooth General is appointed 【Wave-Subduing General】; Tie Tie Mu Shan is appointed 【Town Abyss General】; Round Head is appointed 【Patrol Wave Guard】; Pai Pai Xiao Xing is appointed 【Listen Wave Captain】."

Water beasts stood at attention.

"Third order, the Dragon Palace is newly entered, everything is waiting to be rebuilt. Repair palaces, establish government offices, receive river otters, restore human trade, formulate Jianghuai calendar, repair and fill the treasury, plant treasure plants, raise treasure fish, lay waterways, clean up the North Water, build the royal court, and many other government affairs. I have to trouble the 【Scale Sect Minister】 to lead, contact the North Water King, South Water King, and West Water King diligently, ask for advice from the National Teacher, and summarize the regulations as soon as possible.

Now the royal court treasury is empty, and salaries are difficult to continue. I hope all Dragon-men, Dragon Sturgeons, and water beasts will temporarily share the same food and drink, and work together to overcome the difficulties."

"Follow the King's order!"

"Good!"

Liang Qu felt like an unscrupulous boss, temporarily unable to pay wages, only able to let employees tighten their belts. Last time, to reach 100% fusion as soon as possible, he had occupied quite a few lotus seeds of the Great Water Lotus.

Fortunately, the Dragon Palace was spacious, and everyone was assigned houses according to their needs, without too many complaints.

Dragon-man elders dispersed to work.

The construction of the Jianghuai Great Marsh royal court was in full swing, and all kinds of water beasts shuttled through the waterways.

"Boss, boss, what about me?"

Little Mirage Dragon rolled up, and Pincer followed.

"Pincer goes out to sweep with A-Fei, and concurrently serves as Dragon Palace guard. You and A-Wei are personal guards, so no other arrangements will be made."

"Personal guards, yay!" Little Mirage Dragon waved its claws to celebrate.

Round Head came up.

"Round Head, you send a portion of your tribe to strengthen the guard force of the Ghost Mother ritual, and at the same time clean and guard the surrounding area. You and Old Shell go to the East Sea tribe again, ask them how they considered the last plan, and if they are interested in coming to Jianghuai."

Fat Catfish asked what "Wave-Subduing" was going to do.

"A-Fei, you have infinite talent. Cannot Move is 'Town Abyss' inside, you are 'Wave-Subduing' outside. You share the same name as my mysterious weapon. I have high hopes for you. You have diplomatic responsibilities. During festivals, go see the other kings, contact other races. It is very important. The flood dragon and North Fish King have left, but left behind many affiliated races. You are responsible for making them surrender. The outpost canyon must also be supervised and excavated, so that the secret treasures scattered by the Immortal Island in the Clouds can reappear in the world as soon as possible."

Long whiskers folded ninety degrees.

The Heavenly God is great!

Fat Catfish thought for a while and decided to go to the hedgehog tribe first.

The Heavenly Demon Great King roared and swam out.

In the morning, the Treasure Ship of Creation docked, returned to Pingyang to pack up, at noon handled the tax resistance in Yixing, in the afternoon coordinated the Dragon Palace, simply established a set of administrative systems that could operate, and at dusk even grabbed a live wild goose in the reed marsh. All in all, several major events were all settled in one day.

Fan Xinglai held the wild goose, overjoyed, and went home to calculate the auspicious day for the proposal with his father and mother.

Dinner.

Guan Guan Congjian pulled Zong Zong Lichan, brought two boxes of pastries to congratulate the master's grandfather on becoming a saint, ate and drank heartily. Wen Wen Shi Yun also held a bowl and clattered. Thirteen years old, just the age of growing body, hungry after eating, forgetting after eating. He Cantong came for the first time, initially somewhat restrained, but gradually let go under the leadership of the two.

Long Long Eying served Liang Qu a bowl of soup: "Fourth Senior Brother came to our house just now, asking if you have time these few days, inviting you to lecture at the Huaiyin Martial Hall."

"No time now. Wait until December. I will definitely go to lecture for two days before the Martial Hall's winter break. We will set off to the west tomorrow to see the fief earlier, and also bring the Master. The Master said he also wants to go back and see."

"So urgent?" Everyone was surprised.

"You just came back, what are you rushing for?" Su Guishan asked.

"What date is it today?" Liang Qu asked Long Eying.

"October 11th."

"Almost, almost. Have to look at the fief on the way, time is a bit tight. If we leave now, we can make it. Just in time for Huangzhou, any later and it will be late!"

Everyone was confused: "What are you rushing for now?"

Only Guan Guan Congjian, who was burying his head in eating, had a flash of inspiration, understanding the meaning: "Good, such a lively thing, Grandfather, you must bring me along. Last time I was young and didn't perform well."

"Sure, the more people, the livelier."

Long Long Eying thought for a while, her eyes gradually widening.

"Master, what is it, I want to go too!" Wen Wen Shi Yun raised his hand.

"What are you going for? Want me to ask for leave for you again? Go back and study hard, come to me to practice martial arts this time next year. Wait until the New Year, including the New Year festival, I will ask for twenty days for you."

"Okay."

The Prince of Huai is really responsible, He Cantong thought.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the reeds swayed.

Wen Wen Shi Yun stood on the head of the river porpoise and waved: "Master, I'm leaving!"

"Study hard, improve every day, strive to be a useful person to the people!"

"Understood!"

The next day.

Before dawn, Datakai went to the Qingjiang Shipyard to pull a large amount of wood, piled it into the pond, the river otter combed its hair, took on the heavy responsibility of the royal mansion's construction and expansion, pulled a warning line, included the surrounding land, and drew the blueprints.

Liang Qu went to the North Water, brought Hai Yun, the golden-haired tiger in Pingyang Mansion, the old monk and master Xu Shi, Li Li Libo, Chen Chen Jiechang, and Lin Lin Songbao from the town, and Cha Qing, Kou Zhuang, and Fan Fan Zixuan from the River-Lake Office, and then to the Huaiyin Martial Hall, taking away a group of people in the name of credits.

The Treasure Ship of Creation, which had stopped at Shangrao Pier for a day, set sail again!

The river wind blew vast and mighty.

Wooden boxes landed.

Liang Qu distributed treasure fish and treasure plants to the golden-haired tiger, hedgehog, and other beasts. They were all congratulatory gifts sent by princes from all over, just right to distribute a portion to them, rewarding their following and help all along.

On this side, there were cheers of reward, on the other side, Datakai and Scarface confronted each other on the deck, one holding a nine-ring tin staff, the other carrying a large bone club.

The golden-haired monkey king used both hands and feet, climbed the mast, and shouted for Scarface.

"Tsk!"

Staff and club collided, murderous aura splashed!

The Huai River passes through eleven provinces in total, and the thirteen ports of the fief are spread across seven of them. Only Yixing is in the Southern Zhili, and it is also the easternmost one. This is already the greatest concession of the Imperial Court, and it is impossible to give more.

Huangzhou Peng Ze is in the middle reaches of the Huai River. There are five ports in between, from east to west, namely Yixing, Yunyang, Longcen, Shishou,

and Anlan, all on the golden waterway.

Among them, the degree of prosperity is also progressive. Shishou is a flat road, with many villages and crisscrossing traffic, but no large towns, because the water is shallow and the ports all need construction.

The county territory of the fief has not been fully divided by the Imperial Court. Ordinary officials take several months to go back and forth, then report, then negotiate, at least a year,

but the location is definitely it.

Since it is, the favor of the River God Temple should be arranged first.

"Have you all heard what I said?"

"Understood, build a River God Temple, if there is one, invite the White Ape."

"Good. Don't worry about the money, you can go to the local prefect to borrow it, it's not a difficult thing."

"Yes!"

Cha Qing and other officials, in groups of two, led a group of Martial Hall disciples and disembarked one after another.

After that, it was the construction of waterways. Liang Qu let the Dragon-men and Hai Yun coordinate and handle it, trying to operate first, and then attracting merchants to invest.

The vortex waterway arrives within a day. Except for waterproofing, the cost-effectiveness is ridiculously high, completely a miracle in the history of freight.

As for the water depth problem, no exploration is needed. A perception will know the situation. Liang Qu can directly grab it with a True Gang hand, combined with 【Slaying the Flood Dragon】, it can be dug out in a few times. But where to build the port is particular, needing to plan according to the existing land conditions, population distribution, and future construction costs.

Building roads is a high-cost thing. Besides, building directly in densely populated places is not easy to expand in the future, and it is necessary to organize villagers to relocate; if the population is too small, it is not convenient for rapid gathering of labor in the early stage. These are all left to Cha Qing and Li Li Libo.

"If there are initial results before the New Year, it counts as success!"

One port, staying for an average of only two days, Liang Qu was vigorous and resolute, finally rushing into the Ba River before the 20th, arriving in Huangzhou, and even having an unexpected joy.

【Twelfth entry into the Huai River, River Favor +1.0014】

【River Governance: 0.6 (Favor: 65.8426)】

"Moving quite fast—"

The rice in the fields left short stubble, the stalks were collected and piled in the corner as firewood, the field mice collected scattered grain ears, squeezed into narrow holes in a trot.

Huangzhou Pier, Prefect Xu Xu Wanxing, Prefectural Assistant Chou Xu Yue, and the heads of major clans had been waiting here early, bowing and saluting: "Huangzhou Prefect Xu Xu Wanxing, pays respects to the Prince of Huai! Pays respects to the Prince of Ming!"

"Prefect Xu is truly polite." Liang Qu landed on the ship's head and helped the Prefect up. "To tell you the truth, I rushed all the way from Pingyang to Huangzhou just to ask Prefect Xu one thing."

Xu Xu Wanxing was surprised: "I don't know what the Prince of Huai wants to ask?"

"When does this year's Huangzhou Great Hunting Meeting start?"

"The Great Hunting Meeting is to celebrate the second full moon after the Autumn Equinox. This year it is October 27th, seven days later." Xu Xu Wanxing answered respectfully, thinking of Liang Qu's connection with the Great Hunting Meeting, his heart filled with joy. "Does the Prince of Huai want to set up another prize and observe it personally? Rest assured, I will immediately..."

"Good, good, good! Come!" Liang Qu beckoned to Guan Guan Congjian, put his arm around his shoulder. "Trouble Prefect Xu, he and I, two people, sign up for the competition!"

"?"

"What's wrong? I remember that anyone under thirty-five can sign up, right? Huangzhou values martial arts, regardless of whether they are local or from elsewhere. Didn't I participate before?"

Su Guishan, who was walking on the gangplank behind, twitched his eyes, finally understanding why Liang Qu rushed so hard, just for this dish of vinegar.

Xu Xu Wanxing tried hard to organize his words, squeezing out a smile: "Since the Prince of Huai has the interest—"

"Hahaha!"

Liang Qu laughed up to the sky.

A tingling sensation rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

This is the expression! Rushed so hard, finally made it!

"Prefect Xu, don't panic, just a joke. Just him alone, not me."

"Ah?" Guan Guan Congjian was surprised. "Grandfather, you aren't going?"

Xu Xu Wanxing breathed a sigh of relief, bowing and stepping aside.

"Prince of Huai, Prince of Ming, Master Yang, Master Su, Madam Xu, Madam Long, and all heroes, I have set up a banquet at Qixia Tower. Taste the Huangzhou specialties and welcome everyone." Qixia Tower, the sunset was beautiful, the Martial Saint descended, how lively. Liang Qu was coaxed into leaving calligraphy, and only escaped at midnight.

With Xu Shi's relationship, he naturally stayed at the Xu family.

Last time he came, the focus was on Yang Yang Dongxiong, who achieved Perfected Form.

This time he came, first set off thousands of firecrackers, raising the smell of sulfur for half a street. The huge Xu family courtyard, regardless of which room, firewood room, kitchen,

small courtyard, garden—all were decorated with lanterns and festoons, sweeping the couch to welcome the Prince of Huai, almost sending people to pull banners and post notices.

In the hall, the candles were bright.

Xu Shi pulled Long Long Eying, chatting about family affairs with Mother Xu and Xu Xu Rongguang. Yang Yang Dongxiong clearly didn't drink, but talking about Liang Qu with the two Xu family ancestors, his face was ruddy.

"Old Grandfather Xu! Long time no see. I wished you a happy birthday nine years ago. You are almost a hundred years old this year, right?"

Liang Qu, who returned from Qixia Tower, crossed the threshold. "Ninety-eight." Xu Xu Rongguang smiled and stroked his beard.

"Just right, let's make a deal. I'll give you a gift! How about it?"

"Oh, a gift?"

Liang Qu rolled up his sleeves and held up something in his palm, looking small, like a piece of green jade.

"Cannot Move" yawned. **Chapter 1185: Hot and Busy! **

"Can't-Move" yawned.
