Promotion to Divine Rank, Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God!

Li Yue stared blankly at the information in front of him.

He was truly a bit dumbfounded.

The information that had appeared in his mind before had clearly told him that the tributes collected during the two grand sacrifices each year would receive a 20% boost.

That was 1.2 times!

But now—

What was this 100-fold boost about?

He immediately opened the Regional Chat.

If he still had a physical body, he felt his heart would definitely be pounding "thump thump thump" right now.

He had just opened the Regional Chat interface—

When a flood of messages immediately scrolled past nonstop.

[Holy shit! The tribute from my believer is a rank-one fire fox corpse—the 20% boost is really solid, it got a whole size bigger!]

[Ten-year Bone-Strengthening Flower, turned into twelve-year!]

[Freshly baked superior Blood-Qi Pill—this one's after the 20% boost, only three strands of divine power!]

[Wait... you guys adapted this fast? I'm still totally dumbfounded here.]

[Any kind big brothers lend a girl two strands of divine power~ Once sis has a body, I'll send you the originals~]

[Looking for CP! Southern sweet little sis here, seeking a CP to keep each other warm!]

[Oh my god! I found a dog demon outside my believer's village— so scary—!]

[Anyone need rank-one big knives? Two strands of divine power each.]

[Fuck me! I'm numb all over—my believer's tribute to me is actually a looted married woman? My believers are a whole nest of bandits!]

"Looks like everyone else really only got the 20% boost..."

"Only my tribute got the 100-fold boost?"

Joy flooded Li Yue's face.

The gap between 100-fold and 20% boost was simply enormous.

A 20% boost—

Could only enhance the quality of rank-one items a bit.

But a 100-fold boost?

It could turn rank-one items into rank-four items!

The advantage here was simply massive!

In this collective grand traversal, it seemed he had a golden finger!

He opened the Regional Trading interface.

This place not only allowed deities in the same region to trade with each other.

It also let them sell any valuable items to the Deity Shop.

It was just that the Deity Shop's prices were definitely not high.

Or rather—

The Deity Shop's main purpose was to price an item.

"From the info I just saw in the Regional Chat..."

"Rank-one items are priced at around a thousand strands of incense wish-power in the Deity Shop, which is about one strand of divine power."

"Rank-one items after 20% boost go for around fifteen hundred strands of incense wish-power."

"Clearly higher value than the 20%."

"So what about my tribute after the 100-fold boost?"

He looked at the Dragon Blood Flame Grass he'd just collected and received the 100-fold boost on.

The entire stalk of Dragon Blood Flame Grass floated in the Divine Domain, radiating scorching crimson brilliance, with faint wisps of tiny dragon-shaped mist swirling around it.

In terms of appearance—

It far surpassed the rank-one Body Strengthening Grass he'd placed on the altar before by an unknown margin.

He reached out and grabbed the Dragon Blood Flame Grass, his mind stirring.

Immediately—

This rank-four stalk of Dragon Blood Flame Grass vanished at once, appearing in the Deity Shop.

A bunch of information also popped up above it.

[Name]: Dragon Blood Flame Grass

[Rank]: Fourth Rank

[Effect]: After consumption by a human Third Rank 'Yuan Gang Realm' peak martial artist, there is a 50% probability of breaking through to become a Fourth Rank 'Yin Yang Realm' martial artist.

[Price]: 360 units of divine power

"Three hundred and sixty units of divine power!"

Li Yue's face was full of joy.

That was equivalent to nearly eight years of incense wish power income from his current believers!

And this was more than enough for him to promote his divine position from 'unranked' to 'Subordinate Ninth Rank'!

As long as he promoted, he would no longer be a wild god, but a legitimate Land God!

Starting out like this, he was leagues ahead of the other wild gods on Blue Star!

While others were still racking their brains for one or two units of divine power, he had easily obtained three hundred and sixty.

It really feels like playing a game with cheats on...

This feeling...

It's truly exhilarating!

He muttered to himself, the smile on his lips so wide that even the Heaven-Turning Seal couldn't suppress it.

Without any hesitation, he sold the Fourth Rank Dragon Blood Flame Grass directly to the "Deity Shop".

As for the effects of this Fourth Rank Dragon Blood Flame Grass?

He didn't care.

After all, among his current believers, there were only two First Rank 'Body Refining Realm' martial artists, and the rest were ordinary mortals.

They had no use for a Fourth Rank treasure like the Dragon Blood Flame Grass.

As the sale was completed—

Li Yue immediately felt three hundred and sixty units of divine power surge into his body.

These three hundred and sixty units of divine power gave him the feeling that he was incredibly powerful.

He even felt the urge to test out his Golden Blade Art again.

Keep a low profile, keep a low profile.

Wasting divine power just to test a divine art is a shameful act.

He suppressed the restless urge in his heart.

Then—

He mobilized one hundred units of divine power and began to promote his divine position!

Outside the Land God Temple.

The villagers who had been kneeling stood up one after another.

They were already accustomed to the grand sacrifice held twice a year.

It was a tradition.

Even though Lord Zhangyue had never manifested any miracles, no one felt that sacrificing to Lord Zhangyue was a waste of time.

After all—

Worshipping a deity was simply about seeking peace of mind.

This was the thought shared by many of the villagers present.

However, among them, five elders were particularly devout to Lord Zhangyue, and they were the ones who presided over the grand sacrifice every year.

"Hmm?"

"Where did that 'Body Strengthening Grass' go?"

Li Youming, over fifty years old, hunched his back as he prepared to clean up the offering table, especially determined to put away that most precious 'Body Strengthening Grass'.

But as his gaze swept over it—

Where was there any trace of the 'Body Strengthening Grass' on the offering table?

He was instantly dumbfounded.

Where did the grass go?

Where did such a large stalk of grass go?

The other elders nearby heard this and immediately looked over, their expressions turning anxious upon discovering the Body Strengthening Grass was missing.

After all—

This was a first-grade spirit herb worth ninety taels of silver!

It was the most valuable item in the entire village!

They looked east and rummaged west, but the Body Strengthening Grass was nowhere to be found.

"Just before the third kowtow, I still saw the Body Strengthening Grass on the offering table."

"How could it vanish all of a sudden?"

Village Chief Li Deyang frowned.

The rest of the villagers scattered, circling the Land God Temple to search thoroughly.

"Could it have been snatched away by some bird while we were kneeling to Lord Zhangyue?"

One villager suggested.

"Impossible."

"This is the Land God Temple; no bird has ever dared to steal food from the Land God's offering table."

Li Deyang shook his head.

"Then..."

A little girl of seven or eight years old said timidly:

"Could it be that Lord Zhangyue enjoyed it..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Village Chief Li Deyang froze.

The villagers also froze.

Lord Zhangyue enjoyed it?!

Swish, swish, swish—

Dozens of eyes immediately turned toward the Land God statue inside the temple.

BOOM—!

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded across the firmament!
