The Territory's New Look

The clear sky is like a sheet of blue paper, with a few thin white clouds that seem to have melted in the sunlight, floating slowly in the wind.

On the wide, flat official road, Ling Yi sat by the carriage window, letting the golden light streaming in from outside gently caress his handsome face, which resembled cold jade.

Last night's heavy snowfall made the air so cold that our breath froze, but the sunlight seemed to warm it all, and the distant white snow was gilded with a layer of shimmering gold.

With his gaze withdrawn, Ling Yi stared directly into the void before him, pondering his plans and arrangements for the future.

Time slipped away amidst the clanging sounds of the road bumping and jolting.

Although they were carrying a lot of cargo, the journey of over a hundred miles was quickly left behind thanks to the tireless strides of the fine horses.

Ling Yi returned once again to the land that had given him birth and raised him.

Two years have passed since Ling Yi became a baron of the duchy, and the area North Mouth River Town, spanning dozens of miles, was granted the title of "Blue Silver Territory".

For the past two years, as the lord, Baron Ling Yi has spent most of his time traveling and rarely returns home.

Compared to two years ago, North Mouth River Town has undergone a dramatic transformation.

The Weiyi things that haven't changed are those familiar faces and the ubiquitous "Blue Silver Grass".

The carriage did not stop in North Mouth River Town, but instead followed the newly built official road from the past two years directly to Mountain Sea Village, which had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Compared to the ordinary villages where houses and courtyards were once haphazardly built and scattered, Mountain Sea Village, under Ling Yi's planning, has now been almost entirely demolished and rebuilt, transformed into the manor-style residence of Baron Ling Yi.

As for the original villagers, like those in North Mouth River Town and its twenty-five subordinate villages, they were collectively reorganized and relocated. Their houses were newly built, their farmland was doubled, and they received ten times the compensation in terms of money and grain harvest losses.

With a series of incredibly generous relocation packages, everyone was overjoyed and, following the planned sequence, began a massive collective relocation.

In the original novel, Holy Soul Village had over three hundred households. Although it was called a small village, considering that Nuoding City was located on the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, its commerce and trade were developed, and the people's living standards were quite good, we can get a sense of the reality.

However, in the [Water Wood Duchy], villages with one or two hundred households are commonplace, and those with over three hundred households are considered large villages.

Over the course of two years, the town of "Blue Silver Territory" comprised 25 villages, more than 6,000 households, and a population of over 37,000. Apart from the original 1,000-plus households in North Mouth River Town, which remained largely unchanged with the addition of approximately 200-300 new neighbors, all the villages that were originally located at different distances and in different places were relocated and rebuilt. The fields were also reclaimed in the name of "Blue Silver Territory," with all adult laborers being mobilized to cultivate the wilderness, connect with the original fields, and then divide them up.

With proper planning, most of the flat land surrounding the new village was designated as farmland for individual villagers. In more remote areas, ponds were dug near water sources, and trees were planted near hills. The original wild woodlands were transformed into planned areas of different economic forests of uniform species.

Even the houses and courtyards in North Mouth River Town and the villages below were transformed into a unified style of blue bricks, white walls, and black tiles under the guidance of the sketches left by Ling Yi. Coupled with the ubiquitous "Blue Silver Grass" and other Huahua, a tranquil and simple artistic conception emerged.

This is a world with extraordinary power. Whether it's building houses, cultivating wasteland, or planting economic forests, everything becomes simple after the addition of Soul Master' power.

Furthermore, as the "Farmer's Three Forms" spread from the Ling and Zhang families of Mountain Sea Village, even without the power of Soul Master, all of this development changed rapidly.

Everyone knows that Baron Ling Yi, combining various farming methods, created a fitness method that can strengthen the body – the "Farmer's Three Forms"!

Aside from the fact that the appetite will increase and the growth rate is measured in years with a potentially low ceiling, this simple and easy-to-learn secret technique, which is integrated into the lives of farmers, has won the hearts of every household in the ' Blue Silver Territory '!

Consequently, any policy directives from the Baron were met with enthusiastic responses throughout the entire "Blue Silver Territory," making it a harmonious and prosperous Douluo version of a paradise.

From the moment they entered the territory of "Blue Silver Territory" and passed through North Mouth River Town, after boarding Ling Yi's carriage, Zhang Lei began to systematically introduce to Ling Yi the new changes that had occurred in the territory during the months he was away, whether some of the previously set planning goals had been achieved, what difficulties had been encountered, which ones had been resolved, and which ones remained to be dealt with upon Ling Yi's return...

Mountain Sea Estate a manor-style residence newly built on the site of the former Mountain Sea Village.

As for the new Mountain Sea Village, it was relocated to a location more than ten miles to the west, closer to North Mouth River Town, and renamed Upper River Village.

As the carriage entered Mountain Sea Estate, dozens of people from the Ling and Zhang families, who had received the news earlier, rushed to greet it.

People were arranged to categorize and store the various items from the carriages into a specially built large warehouse. Ling Yi, surrounded by admirers, then hosted a large banquet with everyone.

After a hearty meal and drinks, Ling Yi had chatted with everyone. A vast amount of information flowed through his mind, and he had an even clearer grasp of everything around him.

December of the 2606th year of the Douluo Calendar.

The Ling Clan, including relatives with other surnames such as the Zhang Family and Ye Family, numbered over three hundred.

Among them, there is one Grand Soul Master, who is the lord of the Blue Silver Territory, the Baron of the Water Wood Duchy, Healing System Two-Ring Grand Soul Master, Blacksmith, and the Great Physician Ling Yi.

There is one Soul Master, his cousin Zhang Lei, Martial Soul "Hoe", he is nineteen years old and Soul Power of Level Fourteen.

The two are Soul Scholar, the younger brother Ling Shan and the younger sister Ling Si. Both of them have the "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul. The former is almost thirteen years old and is an eighth-level Soul Scholar, while the latter is a little over eight years old and is a third-level Soul Scholar.

Grandpa Ling Changqing and Grandma Yan Hong are fifty-four years old this year. According to the average person in the Douluo Continent, they are considered to be in old age. However, with their high quality of life and the practice of "Farmer's Three Forms" and "Basic Body-Training Exercises", they look like their uncle Ling Xiangbei, or even a few years younger.

The father, Ling Xiaoshan, and the mother, Zhang Xiaoyu, are both in their early thirties, but they still look like the young couple they were in their twenties, full of youthful energy.

The eldest uncle Zhang Dahe, and his aunt Ling He, standing to the side were exactly the same.

Thirteen-year-old Zhang Xin was born without Soul Power, but because he had practiced the "Farmer's Three Forms" and "Basic Body-Training Exercises" for many years, he was physically strong and now had a strength of nearly 200 jin. He was learning forging from his Ling Bai Ling Yi and intended to pursue a career as a blacksmith.

Zhang Miao, who will turn six next month, is currently in a state of anxiety and fear, worried that he will have zero Innate Soul Power like his second brother Zhang Xin during the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony on his birthday.

He only hoped that, even if he had a level 0.1 Innate Soul Power like his older brother Zhang Lei, it would be good to be able to cultivate.

As for Martial Soul, the Ling Clan and its affiliated relatives of other surnames have now reversed the previous phenomenon of resisting the "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul.

On the contrary, they now hope that they and their children will awaken the "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul.

This greatly increases the chances of developing Innate Soul Power.

Although no one said it out loud, everyone knew in their hearts that all six children from the Ling and Zhang families, from Ling Yi to Ling Shan and Ling Si, had the Martial Soul "Blue Silver Grass" and all possessed Innate Soul Power. Ling Shan's was level 0.2, while Ling Yi and Ling Si's were level 0.5.

Of the three younger members of the Zhang Family, apart from Zhang Miao who had not yet awakened his innate soul power, Zhang Lei's Innate Soul Power was so low that it was considered to be at level 0.1, meaning he had no Innate Soul Power at all. Zhang Xin, on the other hand, had zero Soul Power altogether.

Considering the current environment where "Blue Silver Territory" is everywhere in the "Blue Silver Grass Territory" and even the "Water Wood Duchy," everyone is not stupid and naturally understands how much of an advantage the "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul has.

"Miaomiao, for the next month, come to my place every day with Brother Lei and cultivate with us. I'll give you some pointers on the ' Basic Body-Training Exercises.' The better your physical condition is before awakening, the greater the chance of awakening Innate Soul Power when your Martial Soul Awakening..."

At the end of the banquet, amidst the surprise and delight of Zhang Miao and his wife Zhang Dahe, Ling Yi said this.

That night, some people tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, while others fell asleep immediately, just like the myriad beings in the world, each with their own unique experiences.
