Cyan-grade national strength

Upon hearing Weiwei's words, Fang Weiyan immediately understood what she meant.

"So it seems that praying for blessings has come at a price for you?"

Fang Weiyan had already roughly guessed the reason.

To be honest, if it weren't for the immortal peaches, Fang Weiyan would definitely have been tempted by the fact that the other party could bring blessings.

However, Fang Weiyan already possesses the Immortal Peach, and given his status as the Human Sovereign and the blessing of the nation, his lifespan will likely be even longer.

I didn't think much about the matter of praying for blessings.

Weiwei didn't answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Fang Weiyan didn't say much upon seeing this, but after glancing at the Mountain Spirit in front of him, he was secretly delighted.

Even if he couldn't get these Mountain Spirit to pray for him, just getting them to pledge their loyalty would be a great benefit to Fang Weiyan Mountain Spirit, given their strength.

After all, we will have to enter the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings after some time.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan glanced at the people in front of him.

"As long as you have no disloyal intentions, I am willing to accept you."

Fang Weiyan spoke first.

He was still a little worried that these guys might betray him later.

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? We would never do such a thing."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei, who was standing nearby, immediately began to express her true feelings.

There is absolutely no way they could have done that.

After all, if they could do such a thing, they might as well just run away after the ordeal.

Unfortunately, when facing a calamity, one needs to stay by the other party's side, and loyalty to the other party is also part of facing the calamity.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to worry so much.

Now the situation has become that Weiwei and the others are worried about Fang Weiyan.

Fang Weiyan was also worried about the other party.

Fang Weiyan glanced at Weiwei and, seeing that she seemed quite sincere and didn't appear to be lying, nodded.

Since they've said that, I'll just have to believe them for now.

Thinking about it this way, Fang Weiyan felt a little relieved.

When the group of people followed Fang Weiyan into the imperial study, and a moment later, when each of them had transformed into a master of the Flower Blooming Realm, Fang Weiyan felt somewhat dazed.

Who told me before that cultivation is extremely difficult?

What are these things in front of us?

Did they all suddenly become masters of the Flower Blooming Realm?

Fang Weiyan looked at the experts in front of him, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.

I wonder what the Dragon King of the Wu River would think if he saw this scene?

"Your cultivation is truly effortless; you've already reached the Flower Blooming Realm."

Fang Weiyan said with a touch of emotion.

Watching her sisters begin their Human Tribulation, Weiwei felt incredibly happy.

But upon hearing Fang Weiyan's words, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"It's not as easy as it seems. If it were that easy, our Mountain Spirit Clan wouldn't be facing such difficulties."

Seeing that Fang Weiyan was actually envious of this, Weiwei said helplessly.

For the Mountain Spirit Clan, cultivation level is actually secondary; survival is the most important thing.

Fang Weiyan wasn't particularly aware of this, but judging from the other person's words, it seemed that the other person was indeed having a difficult time.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Weiyan decided to let them stay in the Imperial Garden for the time being.

Once you need something, you can call the other party over.

For the time being, Fang Weiyan doesn't need the other party.

Upon hearing Fang Weiyan's instructions, Weiwei and the others immediately responded and then withdrew.

Watching Weiwei leave, Fang Weiyan pondered for a moment.

Just like that, I have so many experts from the Flower Blooming Realm?

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan suddenly had a thought and then went outside the palace.

This time, the national power emanating above Yanhuai City appeared even darker in color.

Fang Weiyan could even sense that his own strength had increased considerably.

"Is this the national strength brought about by a master of the Flower Blooming Realm? The improvement is so significant."

Fang Weiyan was also somewhat surprised at this moment.

A master from the Flower Blooming Realm truly lives up to his reputation!

Fang Weiyan was secretly delighted, but after thinking for a moment, he hurriedly went to the Imperial Garden.

Immediately, Fang Weiyan saw Weiwei and the others, as well as Tao Lingluo, who was about to attempt to possess someone's body.

"Emperor..."

Upon seeing Fang Weiyan, Tao Lingluo and the others quickly bowed.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan simply waved his hand, then looked at Weiwei and asked, "Your Mountain Spirit Clan must have other members, right? Could you all come?"

Fang Weiyan's eyes were filled with eagerness at this moment.

Their arrival significantly boosted the nation's strength.

At this moment, Fang Weiyan wished they would immediately call more people over.

Upon hearing this, Weiwei was momentarily stunned. Just now, judging from Fang Weiyan's expression, he seemed somewhat wary of them.

Why does it seem like we're starting to accept them now that we've turned around?

This change happened far too quickly.

The other clansmen standing nearby were also somewhat confused by Fang Weiyan 'Fang Weiyan appearance, not understanding what was going on with him.

Fang Weiyan was quite tempted at that moment.

Considering the benefits brought by the Mountain Spirit Clan, Fang Weiyan felt that it wasn't impossible to take some risks.

"If His Majesty grants permission, Weiwei knows of other clansmen who can be summoned as well."

Weiwei thought for a moment; they had just been discussing whether to call other members of their tribe to come.

Seeing that the emperor seemed somewhat wary just now, she worried that if she called over other members of her clan, it might arouse his suspicion.

So he began to hesitate.

But judging from the current situation, it seems there's no need to worry about that anymore.

Fang Weiyan wasn't completely indifferent at this moment; the main reason was that the more Mountain Spirit there were, the stronger the nation would become.

And his strength will increase accordingly.

Fang Weiyan estimated that if there were more Mountain Spirit Clan, the nation's strength would increase, and his own strength would also improve.

That would at least be enough to put up a fight against the Mountain Spirit Clan, should they really have any ulterior motives.

"Okay, call them over."

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment, then spoke.

He still felt that having more experts like this would be beneficial.

Seeing that Fang Weiyan was so certain, Weiwei immediately agreed and then called a few of her sisters to fetch the other clansmen.

Everyone else now also felt that Jiang Kingdom was a good place to face the calamity.

Now that everyone has agreed, it's time to call the others to come along.

A moment later, the group left for other dynasties, intending to find their clansmen one by one.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan immediately revealed a satisfied smile.

They're all experts.

Bringing them into one's own country would significantly boost one's national strength.

Seeing that the other party had already left, Fang Weiyan did not linger any longer and immediately turned and left.

He also needed to check on the progress of the construction of the various factories under the Ministry of Works.

Industries like paper mills and salt production are of paramount importance.

Fang Weiyan remembered that he had given the order a long time ago, but he didn't know how the Ministry of Works had done with these matters.

Several days later, Lin Liyun's army finally arrived outside Yanhuai City.

After choosing a suitable location, Lin Liyun set up camp and went to the palace alone to meet Fang Weiyan.

Upon seeing Lin Liyun arrive, Fang Weiyan immediately instructed him to bring some people with him to the warehouse.

They temporarily provided some firearms so that Lin Liyun's men could train properly.

A moment later, a group of people carrying boxes arrived outside the city.

The box was filled to the brim with weapons.

When the box was opened, it revealed black firearms, including an extremely cold Gatling gun.

Knowing that these people didn't understand these things yet, Fang Weiyan took them out and immediately began assembling them, demonstrating them to Lin Liyun and the others.

Fang Weiyan had watched the video before and even tried to figure it out on his own.

When I start using it now, I'm naturally quite familiar with it.

Moments later, bullets were loaded.

"Look closely, this is a powerful weapon. It might not be very effective against some Demon Race, but it's extremely lethal against humans or wild beasts."

Fang Weiyan spoke, he picked up his gun, had a target set up in the distance, and then began firing.

A series of flashes of light, accompanied by gunshots, were heard, and countless small holes appeared on the distant target.

At first, Lin Liyun was puzzled as to what the emperor was doing, seeing him holding a fire poker.

When Fang Weiyan fired the gun, he was immediately startled.

Even a relatively thin iron plate placed in the distance was pierced through!

Looking at the bullet holes on the iron plate in the distance, Lin Liyun swallowed hard, his face full of shock.

If that thing hit you, wouldn't you die instantly?

However, that wasn't the end of it. Fang Weiyan unleashed a rifle; the Gatling gun series of heavy machine guns that followed were even more ferocious.

With just a gentle pull of the trigger, countless bullet holes appeared on the distant iron plate, several times more densely packed than before.

"Did you see that clearly? How do you use this?"

Fang Weiyan gave Lin Liyun a brief explanation, helping him understand how to operate the device.

There were no technical difficulties involved; it was quite simple.

After watching it once, Lin Liyun understood how to operate it, and nodded quickly upon hearing this.

"Have your men properly trained on how to use these firearms; you'll need them later."

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan nodded in satisfaction, patted the other person on the shoulder, and prepared to leave.

Fang Weiyan left the other party with plenty of bullets, enough for their training.

These things cost Fang Weiyan a lot of money. The original 5 billion hadn't been spent for long, and now it was starting to run out again.

Right now, Lin Liyun's soldiers are firing bullets, but if you were to calculate it, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're firing money.

After all, these bullets aren't cheap.

In particular, heavy machine guns like the Gatling series fire thousands of rounds per minute, which is a huge expense.

However, it was still necessary to spend this money.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely train hard!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Liyun immediately responded loudly.

Fang Weiyan glanced at the other person, then nodded.

As he walked towards the palace, he was thinking about when he could buy a production line.

Otherwise, you'd have to buy bullets and other supplies, and even with a lot of money, it wouldn't be enough to manufacture them like that.

Moreover, Fang Weiyan isn't exactly a wealthy person right now.

The wealth produced in the Jiang Kingdom cannot be converted into cash on Earth.

Relying solely on Su Qingyun's pharmaceutical factory is not a sustainable solution.

If possible, it would be better to be self-sufficient, and this would also help improve the country's strength.

As Fang Weiyan thought this, he walked towards the palace.

When Fang Weiyan looked at the national power gathering above Yanhuai City, he immediately noticed that its grade had basically turned cyan.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan's face immediately lit up with joy.

"It's turned blue! It's finally blue!"

If you go up from cyan, then it becomes blue!

Next up is purple.

I wonder just how powerful he can become at this level.

To be honest, Fang Weiyan wasn't quite sure what stage his strength was at.

The Son of Heaven Sword is extremely powerful, Fang Weiyan has never fought against other Yin God, so he is naturally not very clear about his own strength.

However, their strength shouldn't be too low.

In addition, what piqued Fang Weiyan's curiosity was...

What stage of national strength do other dynasties that had Human Sovereign currently possess?

At present, Fang Weiyan does not know much about other dynasties, nor has he had any contact with them.

Several small countries did come to visit before, but none of them had a Human Sovereign to oversee them.

Under these circumstances, Fang Weiyan was unable to obtain any more specific information.

"Never mind, we'll probably find out later."

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Now that he's the Human Sovereign, he figured those guys must have noticed him.

However, Fang Weiyan is currently focusing all his energy on his Jiang Kingdom.

They naturally didn't have as much interest in exploring other countries.

Speaking of which, Weiwei's clansmen should know about this, right? I forgot to ask them.

Never mind, I'll ask again next time I see her.

Knowing the national strength of other dynasties will help us better understand our own position in the future.

Fang Weiyan pondered for a moment, then looked at the national power level that had gathered above Yanhuai City, and couldn't help but smile.

It's already turned bluish-green.

The blue Incense Offerings was quite potent; he predicted that the incense offerings the Yin God were receiving had increased significantly, and their Yin God should soon experience a major boost.

As the power of the Yin God increases, the nation's strength will naturally follow suit.

In addition, Fang Weiyan has already had a workshop set up to manufacture incense and candles. Once the workshop starts producing incense and candles smoothly...

Since incense and Incense Offerings will be free, there will naturally be more offerings.

Presumably, the power of the Yin God will increase even faster.
