Time flies. It has been two centuries since Xiao Yu became the lord of Tianyan City.
City Lord’s Mansion, the top floor of the main building.
The two deputy city lords, Tianjingliu and Heiwulong, came to report the income of this period.
"This year, all incomes of Tianyan City have increased. The output from housing fees, sales, minerals, the Ruins of Chaos, etc. has reached a total of 450 million cosmic sands. The housing fees handed over to the royal capital are 70 million cosmic sands, and the various operating expenses of the city are a total of 60 million cosmic sands, with a surplus of 320 million cosmic sands." Tianjingliu said with a smile.
Although the current situation of Tianyan City is related to the city lord Xiao Yu, he and Hei Wulong also made immeasurable contributions.
"That's right. So, this century, you and Hei Wulong will each receive 8 million cosmic sands. As long as you can make Tianyan City's net income reach 400 million cosmic sands without changing Tianyan City's charging standards and without engaging in dark activities, I will reward you 10 million cosmic sands each, and there will also be rewards in kind." Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Thank you for your generous gift, City Lord!" Tian Jingliu and Hei Wulong said respectfully.
"Hmm." Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "You guys should prepare well. Thirty days later, I will prepare an auction in Tianyan City. At that time, Chaos Lords from the surrounding Chaos Continents such as Tianmu Country and Lan Country will come. Be prepared to entertain them and don't make any mistakes."
Previously, when Xiao Yu was practicing, he used the 100 billion cosmic sands that Jimu Hou gave him as a thank you to buy various refining materials. Together with the various materials he had purchased before, he refined them into top-grade Chaos Realm weapons, a total of thirteen Chaos Realm weapons.
Each of these thirteen Chaos Realm weapons is of the best quality.
In addition, nearly ten thousand incarnations of divine power had been sent to various cities to comprehend the great principle of cause and effect. Occasionally, they would emit some unnatural aura, which would be discovered by the local Lord of Chaos.
In this way, he made friends with many Chaos Lords, many of whom were powerful men who ruled a certain area.
……
City Lord's Mansion, inside the small building.
The owner of Yanfeng Hall, Di Qingmu, and the deputy owner came to visit together, so Xiao Yu naturally had to receive them personally.
"Your Highness Qingmu, why don't you go into seclusion anymore?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.
"Brother Xiao Wu has made a big move this time. He actually took out thirty-three Chaos-level treasures at once and wanted to hold an auction." Di Qingmu looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu's behavior was beyond his expectations. He did not expect that Xiao Yu actually possessed so many treasures.
From the time when Xiao Yu sold Chaos Realm weapons, he guessed that Xiao Yu was very proficient in refining weapons. He also guessed that Xiao Yu could refine Chaos Realm treasures based on the times when Xiao Yu purchased large quantities of refining materials. However, he thought that with those more than 20 billion cosmic sands, he could only refine ten Chaos Realm treasures at most.
"Haha, I obtained a treasure outside the city before, which contained many Chaos Realm treasures. This time I took them out and sold them together." Xiao Yu smiled and made up an explanation for the Chaos-level weapons he obtained in the Universe Sea.
"Brother Xiao Wu is really lucky! I'm afraid he will get nearly 100 billion cosmic sands in this auction." Di Qingmu sighed.
However, he did not have any envy or jealousy in his heart. For him, as long as he could become the Lord of Chaos, then with the training of the royal children by the Di Qing lineage, what he could obtain would be far more than what hundreds of billions of grains of sand in the universe could achieve.
"I hope so!" Xiao Yu also hoped to obtain more cosmic sand. After all, for him, the body refining in the Chaos Realm is too costly.
The originally estimated 30 billion cosmic sands were not enough. If one wanted to refine the divine body into the same level as the top-grade chaos weapon, nearly 100 billion cosmic sands would be needed.
……
Thirty days passed in a flash.
On this day, all the formations in Tianyan City were closed, and everyone could travel directly through the void in the city. However, powerful Tianyan guards walked on the streets to maintain order in Tianyan City.
An ordinary restaurant upper floor.
In a private room near the street, the five powerful Eternal True Gods were drinking and chatting again. "Tianyan City has actually shut down all the formations. Doesn't this give those guys with evil intentions an opportunity to take advantage of it?" A burly man in golden armor asked in confusion.
"Don't worry. It is said that our City Lord Xiao almost killed the Blood Cloud Great Sage in the Dongji Region before." A blue-robed man next to him said calmly.
“Great Sage Blood Cloud, it is said that he is at the peak of the Chaos Realm, and is much stronger than the average peak Chaos Realm. Although he has not yet reached the Chaos Transcendence, he is almost there. Our City Lord Xiao was able to almost kill him, doesn’t it mean that City Lord Xiao already has the strength to transcend the Chaos Realm?” The burly man in golden armor was very excited.
The stronger Xiao Yu is, the safer it will be for them to practice in Tianyan City. For the eternal true gods on the entire Origin Continent, it is not easy to have a relatively safe place to practice.
Many cities, without a Chaos Lord in charge, would often be plundered and slaughtered by other forces. Even if a Chaos Realm Lord was in charge, as long as he was not a Chaos Realm Transcendent, he would occasionally be slaughtered by other powerful beings.
"Then why did our City Lord Xiao make such arrangements?" Everyone had questions in their minds.
"Lord Chaos, don't you have an errand in the City Lord's Mansion? You should be aware of this matter."
Everyone looked at a man in a white robe next to them.
"There will be a grand auction in our Tianyan City today, and some Chaos Lords from the surrounding areas will come here." The Chaos City Lord smiled. He did not hide anything, there was no need.
Because the Lord of Chaos has arrived.
"Whoosh!"
A streak of light flew over, it was a flying boat exuding a powerful aura, the flying boat stopped above the east gate of Tianyan City, and a rainbow light flew out from the flying boat.
This is a woman dressed in gorgeous robes, exuding an elusive and untraceable aura.
"Is this the Marquis of Tianlan from Tianlan Chaos Continent?"
"Why did Tianlan Hou come to Tianyan City?"
Every eternal true god in the city has seen the scene outside the city, and they all know the name of the person in front of them.
Outside the East City, Xiao Yu appeared out of nowhere and looked at the newcomer with great enthusiasm: "Tian Lan Hou, welcome to my Tian Yan City."
"City Lord Xiao, I am the first one to arrive?" Tian Lan said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, the flying boat disappeared out of thin air.
"Haha, Tianjing Hou was the first to arrive, and you are the second." Xiao Yu said, "This is not the place to talk, please follow me, the auction will start after everyone arrives."
"Okay, I've heard that City Lord Xiao governs well, now's a good time to go and take a look." Tianlan Hou smiled indifferently.
Xiao Yu and Tianlan Hou immediately returned to the City Lord's Mansion together. On the way, Tianlan Hou asked many questions about Tianyan City, and Xiao Yu answered them one by one.
He led Tianlan Hou to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and waiters immediately served him delicious food and drinks.
"Marquis Tianlan, wait a moment, I'll go pick someone up." Xiao Yu said with a smile. Just now, another Chaos Realm Lord was about to arrive.
"Okay, City Lord Xiao, go and get busy." Marquis Tianlan sat casually in the hall, savoring the delicious wine and food.
Now, all the delicacies used in the guesthouses of the City Lord's Mansion are cooked by Wu Zilan. His specialty banquets are no longer limited to the "Ice and Fire Banquet". In the past century, he did not have to worry about a lack of ingredients.
I devoted myself to studying cooking in the City Lord's Mansion and actually developed several very delicious dishes. (End of this chapter)
