The most curious thing for him now was Sun Shangxiang's attributes, so he quickly opened her attribute list to check.

"My goodness, Sun Shangxiang's Strength and Agility base stats are as high as 3! This is too powerful!"
Zhou Yan was very surprised. As expected of a woman with martial prowess, her attributes were indeed formidable.
After obtaining Sun Shangxiang, he did not continue summoning.
First, he would level up Sun Shangxiang.
[Soul Coins -100, Hero Sun Shangxiang, Level increased from 0 to 1.]
[Soul Coins -200, Hero Sun Shangxiang, Level increased from 1 to 2.]
...
...
[Soul Coins -6000, Hero Sun Shangxiang, Level increased from 19 to 20.]
He raised Sun Shangxiang's level to 20 all at once.

In addition to the increase in basic attributes, Sun Shangxiang's special attributes gained a new one.
He had quite a lot of Soul Coins now, and Diao Chan and Zhen Mi's levels also needed to be raised to 20.
However, Diao Chan was undergoing a job transfer trial in the [Heritage Temple], so she couldn't level up. He would have to wait until she finished.
He would first raise his own level and Zhen Mi's level to 20.
[Soul Coins -1500, Hero Zhen Mi, Level increased from 10 to 11.]
...
[Soul Coins -6000, Hero Sun Shangxiang, Level increased from 19 to 20.]
[Soul Coins -1500, Your Level increased from 10 to 11.]
...
[Soul Coins -6000, Your Level increased from 19 to 20.]
He discovered that Zhen Mi had already opened all the treasure chests in the [Treasure Room], so he had nearly fifty thousand Soul Coins left. He would keep them, in case the [Mysterious Shop] needed Soul Coins for purchases at some point.
After reaching level 20, there was still no announcement for the novice trial. It seemed that reputation was not so easily obtained.
His attributes and Zhen Mi's attributes had both significantly increased. Zhen Mi's Spirit attribute had already reached 180 points.
As for his own attributes, they had reached:
[Strength: 172.2]
[Physique: 141.2]
[Agility: 152.3]
[Spirit: 145.1]
Due to daily consumption of spiritual rice and spiritual fruits, coupled with residing in the [Spiritual Qi Bamboo House], his attributes had increased by some points. If outsiders knew of these attributes, they would surely be shocked. These were not the attributes a novice lord should possess. It was too terrifying. These were merely his base attribute points, not including the buffs from various equipment, skills, and the territory. He believed that in terms of attributes, he was no less inferior to many veteran lords in their fifties or sixties.
The Lord's World had many items, spiritual fruits, pills, and special objects that could permanently increase attributes. Whether one could obtain them depended on personal effort, strength, and wealth. The level of an individual lord did not represent everything; the strength of the entire territory was true power.
"Let's go."
Zhou Yan led the newly summoned individuals out of the [Bronze Sparrow Terrace] and began to introduce them to the territory. He took them on a tour around his territory, explaining the attributes of the buildings. He also arranged for them to meet and greet the other residents.
He also arranged for Sun Shangxiang to move into the [Spiritual Qi Bamboo House]. The level 20 Spiritual Qi Bamboo House had many rooms, and Sun Shangxiang could choose any room to live in. He did not intend to have Sun Shangxiang live with him immediately, as Sun Shangxiang's personality was different from Zhen Mi and Diao Chan. This would have to be a gradual process, like warming water slowly. After all, they would all eventually be... you understand.
With Liu Yue now present, Si Teng and the others no longer had to serve as temporary cooks. However, they also wanted to learn cooking and were learning how to prepare meals from Liu Yue. Fortunately, they had the [Drunken Immortal Pavilion], which completely solved the kitchen problem. Speaking of which, he now had quite a few bottles of [Drunken Immortal Wine], which were displayed in the tavern. Even now, they could still attract powerful individuals to the tavern.
In the [Drunken Immortal Pavilion], each table could be set with [Drunken Immortal Wine]. The better the quality and the more wine placed, the higher the probability of attracting high-quality talents. He hadn't been brewing for long, and he planned to send one or two jars to the dwarves every day. This was a reward for the dwarves. The dwarves created a lot of profit for him, and as the boss, he naturally couldn't mistreat his subordinates. At the very least, in terms of food and drink, they deserved the best.
He had previously arranged for Si Hua to specifically manage the affairs of the [Drunken Immortal Pavilion], but now it seemed that Liu Yue was the best person to manage it. He spoke with Liu Yue, reminding her to brew [Drunken Immortal Wine] regularly and assigning the newly summoned maids to her. After completing these tasks, he began to plan the exploration of the mist in the afternoon.
The area within ten kilometers had already been explored. Although there was an iron ore deposit, it was the old lair of those fortified goblins. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to allocate manpower for mining right now; it was more cost-effective to hunt more monsters.
With Sun Shangxiang, a powerful hero, he began to divide his forces into three groups to explore three different areas.
