“I can choose any?”

Lin Yuan was surprised.

In a way, the capital is also a treasure land.

It houses Fierce Sun Ancient Country’s largest sun vein, the sacred training ground for all who walk the path of the sun attribute.

“Select three from the resources treasure lands that have not yet been granted.”

The emperor looked at Lin Yuan, shaking his head as he spoke, “Look carefully.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yuan nodded, looking at the map of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country’s territory.

The Fierce Sun Ancient Country’s domain is vast and extensive, not limited to any particular spatial layer; as long as it falls within the space-time boundaries, it belongs to the Fierce Sun Ancient Country.

“Choose three from any unclaimed treasure lands?”

Beside him, King Chibao was slightly shocked.

The resource treasure lands of Fierce Sun Ancient Country are graded from one to nine.

First-grade treasure lands are the most valuable, ninth-grade the least.

Typically, royal members granted to the rank of king are given one or two treasure lands, but they are usually fourth or fifth-grade.

Want to manage more precious resource treasure lands? It’s possible; you can exchange them with merit.

But Lin Yuan?

The emperor’s intent was to let him choose any three from all unclaimed treasure lands?

Doesn’t that mean he can directly choose three first-grade treasure lands?

Managing a first-grade treasure land not only earns merit granted by the ancient country but the resources produced by the treasure land itself are exceedingly precious.

Even if nine-tenths is submitted to the ancient country, keeping just one-tenth is enough to make a Heavenly Venerate-level expert envious.

The resources produced by a treasure land are not one-time but are continuously replenished.

Certain special resources are beyond price; as soon as they appear, they are purchased, unattainable during ordinary times.

“Consider carefully; treasure lands aren’t better simply because they are more valuable.”

The emperor cautioned.

“Understood.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

So why do treasure lands need a strong expert to manage?

Because they must bear risks.

These risks come from many causes; some treasure lands are located at the border between two ancient countries and may face invasions from hostile ancient countries.

Other treasure lands are connected to certain perilous places; for instance, Fierce Sun Ancient Country’s first-grade treasure land known as ‘Star Sand River.’

It produces the precious resource star sand, a rare refinement treasure for the body, effective even for Heavenly Venerate, sought after by experts from various ancient countries.

However, the bottom of this Star Sand River connects to a mysterious world, and occasionally, powerful beings from that mysterious world will invade along the Star Sand River.

The manager of Star Sand River must ensure its security, so that star sand can be continuously produced and submitted to the ancient country.

Of course, generally speaking, the more valuable the managed resource treasure land is, the more benefits it provides. As for hidden dangers? If a resource treasure land is too dangerous, no matter how precious it is, no expert will choose it.

Managing a resource treasure land, failing to meet the ancient country’s resource submission requirement will incur punishment, so the emperor advised Lin Yuan to consider carefully.

Lin Yuan watched for a while; actually, even before coming, he had already familiarized himself with many of the resource treasure lands of Fierce Sun Ancient Country.

After all, any core royal member will be granted one or two treasure lands, and Lin Yuan estimated he wouldn’t be an exception, just not expecting the emperor to allow him to choose freely.

“Our Fierce Sun Ancient Country’s continuous wars with other ancient countries are essentially for competing over more precious resource treasure lands.”

The emperor smiled and asked, “Galaxy, have you decided which three treasure lands to select?”

Lin Yuan looked at the numerous flickering lights on the domain map before him, indicating all the treasure lands he could choose from; after brief contemplation, he circled his chosen three resource treasure lands.

“Hei Yu Nest?” The emperor and King Chibao glanced.

Lin Yuan’s choice included two first-grade treasure lands and one second-grade treasure land.

Among them, Hei Yu Nest was one of the two first-grade treasure lands.

Hei Yu Nest produces the special resource hei yu, which can refine beings’ mental will.

For experts, mental will is crucial. Its impact on strength enhancement isn’t as apparent as the body and soul, but it’s extremely important.

Precisely because of this, Hei Yu Nest is classified as a first-grade treasure land.

Lin Yuan’s selection of Hei Yu Nest incorporated his own considerations.

The strength of mental will is more akin to rule comprehension, able to synchronize with Chaos Void and this Fang Yuan World.

Managing Hei Yu Nest can obtain one-tenth of the hei yu from this first-grade treasure land, which Lin Yuan can entirely use on himself to refine his own mental will.

The enhancement of mental will of the Fang Yuan World body naturally elevates the mental will of the true self in Chaos Void as well.

“Hei Yu Nest is at the border between Fierce Sun Ancient Country and Xuanyin Ancient Country; it’s not safe there.” The emperor pondered while looking at Lin Yuan.

The hei yu of Hei Yu Nest is also useful to the experts of Xuanyin Ancient Country; managing the treasure land would require constantly facing potential invasions from Xuanyin Ancient Country’s experts.

“I know.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

He has already planned to station one Primordial Spirit permanently at Hei Yu Nest.

Generally speaking, conflicts between two ancient countries, unless it’s a large-scale or total war, won’t typically deploy Heavenly Venerate-level forces.

Hei Yu Nest, despite being a valuable first-grade treasure land, will only show its true worth with long-term occupation and stable hei yu harvest.

Sending a Heavenly Venerate to occupy Hei Yu Nest for a short time, only to be quickly overtaken by an enemy Heavenly Venerate, doesn’t provide much benefit.

Lin Yuan has the strength of a Primordial Spirit, and although it doesn’t match his true form, it surpasses the normal limit of core royalty. Holding the fort at the Hei Yu Nest is more than sufficient.

Besides the Hei Yu Nest, another primary treasure site is fairly dangerous. Lin Yuan plans to send another Primordial Spirit to oversee it.

As for the last secondary treasure site, although its resource output cannot compare to Hei Yu, it poses little risk, being located in the heart of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country. Lin Yuan only needs to send an incarnation for its guardianship.

“Since you have already decided, here are the imperial edicts for the three treasure sites.”

The Emperor said, and with a flick of his hand, three Crystal Stones appeared.

These three Crystal Stones faintly resonated with the three treasure sites, serving as imperial edicts from the Fierce Sun Ancient Country.

…

Leaving the imperial palace.

King Chibao spoke with concern, “Galaxy, do you know who is currently substituting to suppress the Hei Yu Nest in place of the Ancient Country?”

The Hei Yu Nest is located at the border between the Fierce Sun Ancient Country and the Xuanyin Ancient Country. Even without being officially granted, someone would still be appointed to suppress it.

Of course, the substitute suppressor cannot gain the usual merits acquired from guarding such a valuable resource site and can only take a tenth of the resource income.

Even so, given Hei Yu’s worth, one-tenth of it is enough to make many powerhouses envious.

“It’s Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate,” King Chibao said.

Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate, although not a member of the Ancient Country’s royalty, possesses strength that is formidable even among the other Venerates.

“Would Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate dare defy the Emperor’s edict?” Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.

He was to take over the Hei Yu Nest by the Ancient Country’s edict—would Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate dare refuse to vacate it?

“He wouldn’t dare defy it, but there are many things one can do as long as they don’t overtly violate it.”

King Chibao shook his head, “Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate has a great need for Hei Yu, which is why he is sitting in at the Hei Yu Nest on behalf of the Ancient Country.”

“Though Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate wouldn’t openly defy your edict to take over, he could delay, using the pretext of an imminent Xuanyin Ancient Country invasion, to completely delay your takeover.”

“Every bit of delay lets him reap more Hei Yu, which is quite advantageous for Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate, and there would be no apparent breach of the Emperor’s edict.”

King Chibao said.

“Very well, I have had dealings with Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate before; I will train to make a trip to the Hei Yu Nest.” King Chibao thought for a moment, then spoke.

“Thank you, King Chibao,” Lin Yuan also understood King Chibao’s goodwill.

Having traversed the Ancient Country for so long, King Chibao knew many things in the shadows. With him by his side, Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate would have to find a compelling reason if he wanted to delay any further.

…

Hei Yu Nest.

As a primary treasure site of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country, it naturally had a Space-Time Teleportation Formation connecting to the capital city.

Whoosh~

A Space-Time Passage was connected here, and an old man with a red beard and a young man stepped out from it.

“At the Hei Yu Nest, every million years, one hundred catties of Hei Yu are formed in the core area, of which ninety catties are turned over to the Ancient Country, while the overseer can keep ten catties.”

King Chibao explained, “But according to the information I have, the Hei Yu generated every million years at the Hei Yu Nest always exceeds one hundred catties, typically ranging between one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty catties.”

A million-year production of a hundred catties of Hei Yu is merely the minimum output of the Hei Yu Nest.

In reality, this is often exceeded.

And the excess naturally falls into the hands of the guardian.

On the surface, it is said that the guardian can obtain one-tenth of the Hei Yu production, but in reality, it’s closer to two-tenths.

Lin Yuan and King Chibao had just arrived.

From within the depths of Hei Yu Nest, a man in a red robe emerged.

A flicker of flame could be vaguely seen between the eyebrows of the man in the red robe, a clone left by Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate at this location.

“Chibao.”

Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate looked calmly at King Chibao, then glanced at Lin Yuan standing beside him.

“Chieye, I come under the imperial edict with Brother Galaxy to take over this Hei Yu Nest.” King Chibao promptly mentioned the Ancient Country’s emperor.

“Take over Hei Yu Nest?”

Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate fell into silence, for he too had received the edict to relinquish the Hei Yu Nest, so it was no surprise.

“Indeed.”

“I have brought Brother Galaxy here already.”

King Chibao gazed at the Red-eyed Venerable while secretly sending a message to Lin Yuan:

“Brother Galaxy, no matter what excuse Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate comes up with to delay, say nothing and leave everything to me. I refuse to believe he would dare openly defy the Emperor’s edict.”

King Chibao had already prepared to completely fall out with Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate; he was determined to help Lin Yuan take over the Hei Yu Nest smoothly.

If they let it drag on, who knows how long it would take, and more importantly, it would open them to ridicule from other Venerates.

“You are Galaxy?”

Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate ignored King Chibao, staring at Lin Yuan.

“Such intense Chi Yang aura…” Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate was secretly startled. As a Venerate himself, he could perceive far more than King Chibao, subtly sensing Lin Yuan’s formidable foundational aura.

“Forget it; by now the Hei Yu is of little benefit to me, and with Galaxy’s formidable strength, he is bound to be heavily nurtured by the Ancient Country. Who knows, we might even have future dealings; it’s unnecessary to thoroughly offend him.”

Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate thought privately. If it had been another ordinary royal family prince, he would surely have delayed further since he could sell Hei Yu even if he didn’t use it himself.

But Galaxy?

Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate weighed the pros and cons and knew how to advance and retreat wisely.

Thinking of this, Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate spoke in a deep voice, “Since the emperor has issued an edict, I will leave at once. Brother Galaxy, be cautious of the Xuanyin Ancient Country on that side after you take over this treasure site.”
