Territory Notification: "Construct [Spiritual Vein Land], [Spiritual Vein Land] evolves into [Spiritual Vein Sacred Land]."
Zhou Yan decided to upgrade first. He then discovered that this building required Spirit Stones and Dragon Crystals, both of which his territory possessed.
After upgrading it to level 60, Zhou Yan began to examine its attributes.
[Building: Spiritual Vein Sacred Land]
[Level: 60 (Requires upgrade)]
[Quality: ???]
[Special Attribute 1: Increases Spiritual Vein formation speed]

[Special Attribute 6: Increases the spiritual energy of the entire Spiritual Vein Sacred Land]
[Description: A special existence that can form spiritual veins. Such places are extremely rare and only a Son of Destiny can possess it.]
Son of Destiny?
What utter nonsense!
He was a cheater. What did a Son of Destiny have to do with him? The so-called Son of Destiny, the Son of Fate, would have to call him "daddy" in front of him.
Afterwards, Zhou Yan began to construct other buildings. Each building evolved into a very good place.
Zhou Yan informed Xun Yu about these buildings and then had him arrange for manpower to mine.
Xun Yu soon arrived in front of these buildings and, with a group of people, conducted a rough survey of them, then found Zhou Yan.
"Lord, you've built so many top-tier buildings at once! The territory's miners are simply not enough," Xun Yu complained.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let those buildings sit idle. Take your men and roughly calculate how much manpower is needed, then come tell me at the [Hall of Heroes]."
"Alright, Lord, please wait a moment. I'll use the communicator to inform you." After hearing this, Xun Yu hurried off to do the statistical work.
Zhou Yan went to the [Hall of Heroes]. During this time, he had acquired dozens more Hero Summoning Tokens, which would save him a lot of Soul Coins.
He took out all the Hero Summoning Tokens and began summoning miners.
Then Zhou Yan summoned twenty thousand S-grade, five thousand SS-grade, one thousand SSS-grade, one hundred R-grade, fifty RR-grade, and ten RRR-grade miners.
He also leveled them up to level 50 and had them taken to the resource buildings.
If the manpower was still insufficient, he could summon more.
Zhou Yan felt that these people should be temporarily sufficient, so he didn't summon any more.
Next, Zhou Yan planned to summon others.
With more soldiers in the territory, the top-tier generals were also becoming insufficient. Zhou Yan decided to summon a few more top-tier heroes.
[Hall of Heroes] Notification: "Soul Coins - one million, summoned a martial talent, Lu Bu!"
It was Lu Bu! This was the guy with the highest martial prowess from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His reputation wasn't great; he was greedy and lustful, and had killed two adoptive fathers.
Anyway, they had no memories, and Lu Bu wouldn't remember Diao Chan. If he dared to still have Diao Chan in his sights, Zhou Yan wouldn't mind destroying him on the spot.
"Lu Bu greets the Lord!" Lu Bu was tall and large, not exactly burly, but he looked heroic and extraordinary. Judging by his appearance, he was quite good-looking.
After all, there was the saying, "Among men, Lu Bu; among horses, Red Hare," so his appearance was quite good.
It was just that his character wasn't great. To put it bluntly, he wasn't very smart. Making him a general was definitely no problem, but as a commander, he was far too lacking. However, in terms of his martial prowess, there were very few in the territory who could truly surpass him.
"Rise," Zhou Yan nodded. Regardless of their past, their destinies would be different once they arrived in his territory.
"Yes," Lu Bu stood beside Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan knew that Lu Bu used the Sky-Splitting Halberd, and throughout the long river of Chinese history, not many people could wield such a weapon. Moreover, anyone who used a halberd as their weapon was bound to be an peerless fierce general.
Like Xiang Yu and Xue Rengui, they were all fierce generals of their eras.
Zhou Yan looked at Lu Bu's profile and found that this Lu Bu actually had a title, "Number One Fierce General of the Eastern Han Dynasty." It was quite good, and it also represented Lu Bu's strength as an invincible duelist at that time.
Zhou Yan decided to summon two fierce generals and two commanders.
[Hall of Heroes] Notification: "Soul Coins - one million, summoned a martial talent, Li Yuanba!"
"Holy crap! He actually summoned this guy!" Zhou Yan was truly shocked.
This Li Yuanba was extraordinary. He could be considered one of the top-tier fierce generals in Chinese history. Only a handful of people were likely his match.
"Li Yuanba greets the Lord!" Li Yuanba was not tall, and even somewhat thin. Yet, this thin youth, barely over 1.7 meters tall, could lift the astonishingly heavy Drum-Beating Golden Hammer.
Historically, it was recorded that only General Fubo Ma Yuan of the early Eastern Han Dynasty and Li Yuanba could lift it, but who knows if this was true.
Moreover, Li Yuanba was the leader of the Eighteen Warriors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, hailed as "The Number One Hero Under Heaven," and Li Yuanba truly had such a title.
In that era, Li Yuanba was like a god of war. Basically, few people could survive more than a few rounds against him. Only the second fiercest general of the Sui and Tang, Yuwen Chengdu, could survive more than a dozen rounds against Li Yuanba. As for others, it was usually a single blow.
In the end, he even disregarded Heaven itself and was struck to death by lightning.
This was quite tragic.
There was a saying that described it: "In the early Tang, there was a Heaven-Shaking Divine General; in the late Tang, there was an Earth-Shaking Divine General."
The first phrase refers to Li Yuanba, and the second to Li Cunxiao.
This was enough to show that both were the strongest of their respective eras.
However, Li Yuanba's mind was not very sharp, with an intelligence of only a few years old. He was prone to impulsive anger and only listened to his second brother, Li Shimin.
Zhou Yan looked at this Li Yuanba. It seemed that his intelligence issues should be resolved. Even if they weren't, with so many elixirs and pills in the territory, he could even pile them up to boost his intelligence.
"Very well, you two. Rest assured, I will have people in the territory specially forge a complete set of suitable weapons and armor for you. As for mounts, after you complete your class advancements, you can choose any dragon mount you are satisfied with."
Both were top-tier fierce generals, and Zhou Yan would naturally not be stingy with them. The basic equipment: weapons, a full set of armor, and a mount would all be provided.
"Thank you, Lord." Both were very happy.
After the territory's evolution, the strength and talent of these two would certainly become stronger, so the weapons forged for them could not be too inferior.
Zhou Yan planned to personally design two blueprints. He vaguely remembered the appearance of the two weapons. As long as he provided a general shape, with Ou Yezi's professional skill, it should be no problem to forge two spirit artifacts.
Zhou Yan raised both their levels to the maximum and had them taken to their class advancements.
Next, Zhou Yan began to summon again.
