Chapter 202 Dragon Qi Fills the Body (1/2)
Watching Taishi Mingzhen gain dragon energy and break through his cultivation instantly, the several foundation-building cultivators on the golden platform looked at him with eager eyes.
Feng Tianzong naturally understood what the brothers meant. Everyone risked their lives to participate in the dragon fight, not just to quickly improve their cultivation? Of course, there must be affection between fellow brothers.
"Since joining Da Shang, Zhang Weize has been conscientiously presiding over the city defense formation, diverting wind and rain, so that Liaoyuan City has been prosperous for so many years, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. He has made an indelible contribution to the establishment of Da Shang.
I conferred Zhang Weize the title of Duke of Lingguo of Da Shang in the name of the Emperor of Da Shang." The first person Feng Tianzong conferred was the eldest brother, not only because the two of them were close, but also because of his hard work and great contributions in presiding over the formation over the years...
Well, it was because the two of them had the closest relationship. The eldest brother Zhang Weize was also the person Feng Tianzong trusted the most. Otherwise, he would not have given the lifeblood-like Twelve Yuanchen Tianguang Disha formation to the eldest brother to preside over.
Now that the country has been founded, it is natural that his most loyal senior brother Zhang Weize will have the biggest piece of the pie. As the senior brother of this lineage, Zhang Weize has a high level of cultivation, so naturally no one will disobey him.
The Heavenly Destiny Bird in the sky once again separated a small group of golden dragon energy and merged it into the body of senior brother Zhang Weize. The aura on senior brother Zhang Weize is also rising rapidly. The originally indestructible bottleneck was instantly disintegrated by the dragon energy. Zhang Weize's cultivation entered the seventh level of foundation building and became a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
"Congratulations, senior brother." Second senior brother Lu Yongjin was the first to stand up and congratulate.
Several other brothers also congratulated senior brother Zhang Weize, and then looked eagerly at Feng Tianzong in the sky. The first one is the senior brother, but their contributions over the years are not small. The monster breeding farm and the bone spirit puppet workshop are the cornerstones of the development of Dashang and the top priority.
Now that Da Shang has been founded, it is time to reward people for their merits. Seeing that their eldest brother has made a breakthrough in his cultivation, they certainly hope that they can make a breakthrough with the help of the national destiny dragon energy.
"Chen Weishou and Li Weining, come forward to listen to the title." Feng Tianzong said loudly.
The two proud disciples of the master uncle immediately took two steps forward and bowed.
"Since you two came down the mountain to join our Da Shang, you have worked diligently and presided over the establishment of the Bone Spirit Puppet Workshop, providing the army with powerful white bone armor, which is a national treasure. You have made great contributions.
In the name of the Emperor of Da Shang, I, Feng Tianzong, hereby confer the title of Da Shang Shouguogong on Chen Weishou and the title of Da Shang Ningguogong on Li Weining." Feng Tianzong's words were as true as his words. As soon as he spoke, the destiny black bird in the sky once again separated two portions of golden dragon energy and merged into the hearts of the two people.
The cultivation of the two also broke through, from the fifth level of foundation building to the sixth level of foundation building. Although they did not advance to the late stage of foundation building, the speed of advancement has far surpassed the hard training in the mountains.
Although the spiritual energy in the mortal world is a little thin, they can still practice in Feng Tianzong's city defense formation. It's just that the speed is a little slower, but at this moment, with the help of dragon energy, the cultivation level suddenly broke through.
This is just the founding of the country, and the population of Da Shang is only one million. If they wait until the future, they really replace the Da Xia Dynasty. At that time, the people will be in the billions and the national strength will be strong. How much dragon energy will they get?
From now on, they have dragon energy in their bodies, not only will they be protected by the national destiny of Da Shang, but also can be greatly helped in their cultivation. Dragon energy entering the body is not a one-time deal. Instead, it will help them improve their cultivation in the long run.
Of course, dragon energy will be consumed, but as long as Da Shang remains strong and the people's hearts are still gathered towards Da Shang, dragon energy will be endless.
Feng Tianzong could of course sense the majestic dragon energy in his body. This was the first time that he felt that he could improve his cultivation even without consuming taxes.
However, he could only suppress his cultivation temporarily. He still had the third golden elixir, and the formation golden elixir had not condensed. If he wanted to improve his cultivation at this time and condense the third golden elixir, the cost would be even greater, which was totally not worth the loss.
However, now that he had seen that he had obtained the dragon energy, from now on, the time consumed for his cultivation breakthrough would inevitably be greatly reduced. This was the benefit of fighting for the dragon.
"Zhao Weiding, Liu Weigong, come forward and listen to the title." Feng Tianzong spoke again.
Seeing that the three brothers who were rewarded had all achieved a breakthrough in their cultivation, the two of them were already impatient.
"Since you two came down the mountain and joined the Great Shang, you have established a monster breeding farm and provided the Great Shang with powerful monster cavalry. You have made outstanding contributions. You have made a huge contribution to the strength of our Great Shang.
I, Feng Tianzong, in the name of the Great Shang Emperor, conferred the title of Duke Dingyuan of the Great Shang on Zhao Weiding and Duke Weiyuan of the Great Shang on Liu Weigong." Dukes are also different from dukes. The previous brothers were all dukes, but Zhao Weiding and Liu Weigong were not dukes, but county dukes. Although they were both dukes, they were still one level lower.
The two of them were already a little bit worse in their cultivation, with only the strength of the initial stage of foundation building, but they had no complaints. The cultivation of the two of them also broke through instantly and reached a higher level.
A duke position can take away a large piece of dragon energy from the body of the Heavenly Fate Black Bird. If too many are conferred, the country cannot afford it.
The total amount of dragon energy is fixed, and the total amount of dragon energy is in the hands of Feng Tianzong. He needs to use it himself, and the queen Tai Shi Mingzhen also needs it. If the Duke conferred too many titles and distributed too much dragon energy, he would not have enough for himself.
Although the dragon energy can be automatically obtained from the people's hearts and national strength, it is also a long-term relationship. If too much is extracted at one time, it will damage the national strength.
Ordinary people are okay. Although they will also be possessed by national destiny, the dragon energy that ordinary people can consume is limited. At most, they can only consume some passively. They have no way to refine dragon energy, and they can't even sense the existence of dragon energy.
But cultivators are different. They consume dragon energy faster. If a country canonizes too many cultivators, it will cause the dragon energy to decay, the dragon veins to be unstable, and natural and man-made disasters in the country to continue.
So Feng Tianzong did not canonize a king this time. After all, he and Tai Shi Mingzhen are both Jindan-stage cultivators. The affection of several senior brothers who came down the mountain to help is important, but they can't give too much. Feng Tianzong still understands the principle of gratitude and hatred.
Finally, only the second senior brother Lu Yongjin was left. Of course, the second senior brother Lu Yongjin had the most merits among the senior brothers, because he went north to the grassland to fight against the Hu people, and he has been inspecting the local area in recent years. He can indeed be called a hard worker. But his cultivation is too low, only the first level of foundation building, and he had just built the foundation not long before going down the mountain.
But the merit is often unquantifiable. Just talking about the two senior brothers Zhao Weiding and Liu Weigong, they have established monster breeding farms in recent years and tried every means to increase the reproduction rate of monsters. Is this a big merit? Compared with the second senior brother Lu Yongjin, who is bigger? In many cases, there is no comparison.
After all, the second senior brother Lu Yongjin's cultivation is still a little worse. If he has the same cultivation as the eldest senior brother Zhang Weize, Feng Tianzong can naturally confer him a duke, and the senior brothers will naturally have no objection.
"Lu Yongjin, come forward to listen to the title." Feng Tianzong said majestically.
The second senior brother excitedly stepped forward to salute.
"Lu Yongjin escorted the army to the grasslands ten years ago and killed the Hu wizard. In recent years, he has inspected the local areas and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty.
I, Feng Tianzong, in the name of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, confer the title of Duke of Liaoyuan on Lu Yongjin." Feng Tianzong announced loudly.
Everyone knows that Liaoyuan City is the capital of the Shang Dynasty. Conferring Lu Yongjin the title of Duke of Liaoyuan is the greatest compliment to Lu Yongjin. Although in terms of status, he is only a county duke, the same as Zhao Weiding and Liu Weigong, and the dragon energy he can obtain is naturally the same.
As practitioners, they only care about the amount of dragon energy. As for other mundane things, they don't care at all. The other brothers knew that Feng Tianzong and Lu Yongjin had a close relationship, and they had no other opinions.
Feng Tianzong naturally had an idea. When the second brother's cultivation level is higher, he will let the second brother go further and become a duke.
As for the secular official positions, Feng Tianzong also announced them one by one. The civil officials were headed by Wang Mingyuan. Feng Tianzong was not stingy and directly appointed him as prime minister. In fact, Wang Mingyuan has been doing the work of prime minister all these years.
However, Feng Tianzong did not give Wang Mingyuan any title, because Feng Tianzong had made up his mind to confiscate his property after he died as the price of his corruption. So at this time, he would naturally not give him a title and let him pass it on to his descendants. Giving him a lifetime of honor is already Feng Tianzong's nostalgia.
On the contrary, General Zhang Weiyu was canonized as a marquis by Feng Tianzong. After all, it was Feng Tianzong who personally went on stage to worship the general and invited him over. Although Zhang Weiyu's strength is a bit behind now, this does not prevent Feng Tianzong from granting him a title.
"My husband, our daughter has not been canonized yet. My Mingyu was so young and left her parents. Now that the Great Shang has been established, dragon energy can help improve strength, and the speed of the Beast Taming Sect's cultivation is slow...." Tai Shi Mingzhen said in a low voice.
Feng Tianzong thought about it, and once again opened his mouth to canonize and said: "I, Feng Tianzong, in the name of the Emperor of the Great Shang, canonize Feng Mingyu as Princess Anguo."
Although it is only a princess, it is a king. A large group of golden dragon energy was separated from the body of the Tianming Xuanniao again, breaking through the air and disappearing in an instant.
As for the remaining cultivators in the Qi Refining Period, Feng Tianzong was very stingy and did not give them titles, but only conferred them official positions. Official positions are different from titles, and the dragon energy they can obtain is limited.
However, these people are only Qi Refining cultivators after all. Although the dragon energy they can obtain is a little scarce, it is enough for them to use. If they can break through to the Foundation Establishment Period in the future, at that time, they can do more for Feng Tianzong, which is more important, and it will not be too late to confer titles.
Now it is just the founding of the country, and it will take a long time to replace the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Greetings to His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty." The Great Shang wolf cavalry, who have been guarding the order of the Golden Terrace, knelt down and cheered loudly at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, the people also shouted, which means that the new Great Shang has won the support of the army and the people.
Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing, two concubines, with a group of personal maids, stood far behind the Golden Terrace, looking at the figure who could stand side by side with Feng Tianzong in the sky with envy.
In the Great Shang court, Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing are both as powerful as Wang Mingyuan, but now Wang Mingyuan can be conferred on the Golden Terrace. And they can only watch from afar.
Because today is the day to confer the queen, these concubines and personal maids cannot be conferred today, which is a respect for the queen.
At least they cannot be conferred at the founding ceremony, and can only wait a few days.
Jin Jinyun stared at Feng Tianzong's back in the sky. That was her husband, her man, her heaven, and now he was the emperor of the Shang Dynasty. She only hated that the woman standing in the sky, standing side by side with her husband, was not herself.
Although Xiang Yijing also stared at Feng Tianzong like Jin Jinyun, her thoughts were completely different. When Feng Tianzong robbed a commoner girl in public at the Lantern Festival, she had never thought that this day would come. That strong and overbearing husband has now ascended the throne and become the emperor. And she is about to become his concubine.
When Xiang Yijing was robbed, she was actually just hoping that Feng Tianzong could marry her and not treat her too harshly in the future. Thinking of how good her husband had been to her over the years, providing her with Dingyan Dan so that she could keep her face young. He even allowed her to interfere in government affairs and hold great power. She was already very satisfied.
A founding ceremony ended successfully, but the next thing was the key.
Although the Great Xia Dynasty was declining, its overall strength was still stronger than many rebel kings. After all, the Wanfa Sect behind the Great Xia Dynasty was also a well-known sect in the world of immortal cultivation.
The founding of the Great Shang Dynasty immediately attracted everyone's attention. Although there were many people rebelling in various parts of the Great Xia Dynasty, Feng Tianzong was the first one to have the strength to establish a country.
The reason why the Great Xia Dynasty gave up the northern border was because the northern border was barren, there were constant natural disasters and man-made disasters, and there were also the Hu people on the grasslands who were eyeing it and plundering it every year. It was basically a place for the dragon to rise.
But who would have thought that among all the rebel kings in the world, Feng Tianzong was the first to ascend the throne and become emperor.
As for the rapid development of the northern border in recent years, the Great Xia Dynasty naturally knew about it, but it was not outstanding. Good weather and good harvests of grain every year have become the norm in various parts of the Great Xia.
With the help of various cultivators who want to compete for the dragon, the development of various parts of the Great Xia Dynasty is very good. Although there are many more iron and wooden puppets as labor in the northern border, they have not attracted the attention of the Wanfa Sect. They also know that Feng Tianzong is a disciple of the Puppet Sect, and using puppets to develop the power under his command is also a common method.
