Lu Shu looked down at Luo City. Spirit Qi was floating over the ground like a mist, and the entirety of it was under his control.

The sight suddenly caused Lu Shu to be lost in his thoughts.

When he had just obtained the Seal of Lands, he thought there could exist a Seal of Lands for each city in the many remains. Afterwards, however, he realized it was not the case. There was only one Seal of Lands in the world so far.

Lu Shu’s deduction was reasonable, though, as there was a small print “Luo City” on the right side of the Seal of Lands. But then, as Lu Shu wondered, could it be that the print was simply an indication of the control range of the Seal, instead of its true name, since there was not a second Seal of Lands in this world?

As a matter of fact, Lu Shu’s actual control range was much larger than the current size of Luo City. In fact, it was almost three times as big. Hence, Lu Shu used to attribute the disparity to the difference in size between Luo City in ancient times and that in the modern era.

But now, Lu Shu had a bolder idea!

His magical instincts hovered over Luo City. With a wave of his hand, he tried to push the boundaries of the Seal of Lands outwards. Instantly he felt a strong flow of his celestial powers towards the Seal of Lands, as though infusing it with energy.

In the next instant, the Seal of Lands lit up. To Lu Shu’s surprise, he sensed his magical instincts strengthening, and the detectable range had been expanded significantly!

In the past, his magical instincts could only perceive grayness outside the control range of the Seal. But now that the border had been pushed back, more gray lands had been rendered their real-life colors. Similarly, Lu Shu could now see rising mists of Spirit Qi over those new lands.

Lu Shu drew a startled breath. He once joked that he could only be the God of one city since his control over Spirit Qi was limited by the size of the city. Back then, the Seal of Lands did not seem that powerful after all.

But now it appeared that he had underestimated its power. He could actually alter the boundary of his control range. The Seal of LANDS had truly lived up to its name!

In his heart, Lu Shu quietly apologized to the Seal of Lands, that he had misunderstood its powers for so long…

In the next instant, all of Lu Shu’s celestial powers gushed into the Seal of Lands. With a raise of his hand, the border of the Seal was immediately pushed out by 5 to 6 kilometers!

This area might seem negligible when compared to the land area of the entire country, but it was a huge jump from its previous control range. With another push, the border extended for another 10km before Lu Shu’s force had been exhausted.

Currently, it would take eight hours for Lu Shu to restore his celestial powers completely. In other words, he could increase the radius of the control range of his Seal of Lands by more than 10km every eight hours. Moreover, he was still at the first star in the fourth nebula. The rate of expansion would be incredible when he ignited all seven nebulae!

By then, the entire world of Spirit Qi would be under his control!

At that moment, an idea slipped past Lu Shu’s mind. While other people profited from the trade of magical stones, he could actually start a Spirit Qi business…

How about that? He would cut the supply of Spirit Qi when people failed to offer him a satisfactory deal! Nobody could do anything about him!

Within seconds, Lu Shu had already been immersed in his own wonderful fantasy…

After one whole hour, Lu Shu finally recovered from his ecstasy. Some of his celestial powers had been replenished in the rotation of his celestial map. Thus, he decided to do a trial run first.

In the next instant, all of the secret practitioners in Luo City black market, while practicing cultivation, suddenly realized that… all the Spirit Qi was gone…

It was gone… Simple as that!

Before they could react, the Spirit Qi was back again!

All of them were residents right beside the black market. They walked out of their houses and looked at each other in confusion. “What just happened?”

“Was it only me or did the Spirit Qi run away itself?!”

In fact, there were thousands of secret practitioners in Luo City at the moment. Sometimes the total number could even hit 7,000. Given the huge population, there were at least one or two of the sensory type.

Thus, after some discussion, they could finally confirm that a moment ago the Spirit Qi had really grown legs and was wandering around for a while…

“From Li Xun’s distress, +48…”

“From…”

All of a sudden, endless distress points streamed into Lu Shu’s record thanks to the 4,000 secret practitioners beside Luo City black market. The points ranged from 1 to a few hundred. Within a few moments, Lu Shu had earned more than 200,000 points!

This… was truly the most efficient way of gaining distress points!

Now that it required millions of distress points to ignite every new star, Lu Shu was having a real headache. The first star of the fourth nebula needed one million, same for the second, and the third required two million, so on and so forth. Following the same vein, the seventh star cost 32 million points!

What a difficult task! Meanwhile, he still had to redeem chi fruits to rebuild his snow mountain for the third time in exchange for the third sword spirit.

Honestly speaking, he was rather curious about how the third spirit would be like…

In fact, he did not have any high expectations for the abilities of his sword spirits due to all the unreliable pets and holy artifacts he had. Instead, he was more interested in their queer behavioral traits…

When Lu Shu was about to do it again, he realized he did not have enough celestial powers left. It turned out that the manipulation of Spirit Qi required his own strength as well. But it was not a big deal because Lu Shu’s energy replenishment was rather fast…

At this moment, Lu Shu’s phone rang. Using magical instincts, his consciousness returned to his body and retrieved his phone. It was Nie Ting…

After a short pause, he picked up the call. “It’s not me.”

“From Nie Ting’s distress, +188!”

Nie Ting asked coldly, “Did I mention anything yet?”

Both Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin were aware of Lu Shu’s possession of the Seal of Lands. Hence, there could be no other explanation about the large-scale abnormality in the Spirit Qi concentration beside the black market. Once You Mingyu filed the report, Nie Ting made the call immediately…

“Not me,” Lu Shu emphasized with a hearty laugh, “Really.”

“Don’t abuse the usage of the Seal of Lands again,” said Nie Ting, “You should figure out how to resolve the potential threats of mutated creatures since you’ve mastered the Seal of Lands. Such pranks can do no good to you. Don’t do it again.”

Lu Shu rolled his eyes. Who said it did not bring any good to him? Nonetheless, Nie Ting had a point. It was not very nice of him to disturb other people’s cultivation. After all, those secret practitioners did not inconvenience him in anyway.

But Lu Shu had made up his mind and was determined to push the boundary of the Seal of Lands to overseas as soon as possible…

Although it was not an easy feat, Lu Shu was not deterred by the challenge at all. He had to learn from Yu Gong ¹ , as the abundance of distress points earned would prove his effort worthwhile!
