He continued to upgrade the [Spiritual Bamboo House]. Although he now had the [Lingxiao Palace], the items required for that building were too advanced, and he had no intention of searching for those materials at the moment.

[Description: Can absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, allowing one to cultivate faster. It can also gather spiritual veins and accelerate recovery.]
From the Level 20 [Spiritual Bamboo House] to the Level 50 [Spiritual Vein Courtyard], it had completely transformed, looking nothing like its former self.
It had become a vast courtyard, occupying more than ten times the previous area. If his territory's area had not significantly increased, upgrading buildings would have been a huge problem.
Within the [Spiritual Vein Courtyard], spiritual energy was abundant. Pavilions, towers, flowers, trees, rockeries, and ponds were all present, resembling a secluded and exquisite courtyard from ancient times.
There were also many rooms inside, with each tower reaching five stories high, capable of housing a considerable number of people.
He was very satisfied with the building's transformation and wondered what it would become upon reaching its maximum level.
However, this would require an enormous amount of resources, and he could only proceed step by step.
Next, he began upgrading the [White Robe Ghost Soldier].
There were still too few soldiers within the territory. He had previously obtained the S-grade barracks, [Camp Breaker Army], and considered whether he could trade it for something good. But upon reflection, it was better to use it himself.
Based on his thoughts, this S-grade barracks, [Camp Breaker Army], had a high chance of evolving into a top-tier barracks.
He was quite looking forward to it.
After consuming countless materials, he finally managed to upgrade the [White Robe Ghost Soldier] to Level 50.
[Building: White Robe Ghost Soldier]
[Level: 50]
[Upgrade Required: 1,100,000 Spirit Coins, Five-Star Wood 500, Five-Star Stone 500]
[Quality: SSS (0/3)]
[Quality Upgrade Required: 3 SS-quality Barracks]
[Defense: 400,000/400,000]
[Attribute: For every 1000 Soul Coins consumed, one White Robe Ghost Soldier can be summoned. Current headcount limit (700/7000)]
[Special Attribute One: Training Experience +50%]
[Special Attribute Two: Combat Power +40%]
[Special Attribute Three: All Attributes +30%]
[Special Attribute Four: Damage +20%]
[Special Attribute Five: Defense +10%]
[Description: Great generals of the past were not confined, and armies feared the white robes. If led by the unparalleled general Chen Qingzhi, this army would be unstoppable!]
Upon upgrading the [White Robe Ghost Soldier] barracks, its occupied area also increased by more than tenfold.
However, his territory was vast enough for now, and upgrading remaining buildings would not be an issue.
He could now summon an additional 6,300 soldiers.
[White Robe Ghost Soldier] prompt: "Consumed 1000 Soul Coins, summoned one ordinary soldier."
[White Robe Ghost Soldier] prompt: "Consumed 1000 Soul Coins, summoned one squad leader."
[White Robe Ghost Soldier] prompt: "Consumed 1000 Soul Coins, summoned one ordinary soldier."
...
...
A total of 6,300,000 Soul Coins were consumed to summon 6,300 soldiers, including many with better positions.
These included Zhonglangjiang, Duwei, and Pianjiang.
Furthermore, their quality ranged from SSS to RR.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for him.
He upgraded the levels of the 6,300 soldiers to Level 30, costing several hundred million Soul Coins.
As for soldiers above the rank of squad leader, he only upgraded their levels to 50.
With more soldiers, the Soul Coins required for upgrades also increased.
To upgrade an S-quality soldier to Level 100 would cost approximately 28,300,000 Soul Coins.
Ten would cost 283,000,000 Soul Coins, a hundred would cost 2,830,000,000 Soul Coins, and a thousand would require 28,300,000,000 Soul Coins...
If a hero were to be upgraded to the maximum level, the Soul Coins required would double.
Therefore, his Soul Coin reserves were far from sufficient.
Over a billion Soul Coins spent on upgrading soldiers' levels was merely a drop in the bucket.
Besides, he had already spent a lot of his Soul Coins, and he didn't have over a billion anymore.
This was the difficulty in upgrading high-quality troop types.
If the soldiers' quality were below A-grade, the Soul Coins required would be halved, but their combat power would be several levels lower.
He then began to upgrade the level of the [Charge Formation Camp] barracks.
He also stopped upgrading it at Level 50.
[Building: Charge Formation Camp]
[Level: 50]
[Upgrade Required: 2,000,000 Spirit Coins, Five-Star Wood 1000, Five-Star Stone 1000]
[Quality: R (0/2)]
[Quality Upgrade Required: 2 R-quality Barracks]
[Defense: 500,000/500,000]
[Attribute: For every 1500 Soul Coins consumed, one Charge Formation Camp soldier can be summoned. Current summonable headcount limit (500/8000)]
[Special Attribute One: Increases all Charge Formation Camp soldiers' All Attributes by +50%.]
[Special Attribute Two: Increases all Charge Formation Camp soldiers' Morale by 50% and Combat Power by 50%.]
[Special Attribute Three: When surrounded, unleash the Charge Formation will, gaining +100% All Attributes, +100% Combat Power, and +100% Charge Speed, lasting for 60 minutes.]
[Special Attribute Four: Defense +40%]
[Special Attribute Five: Strength +30%]
[Description: With the will to charge, life and death are disregarded. Strict discipline makes them invincible. If led by Gao Shun, the Charge Formation Camp would exhibit even greater combat power.]
Similar to the [White Robe Ghost Soldier] barracks, after upgrading, the [Charge Formation Camp] barracks also increased its area by more than tenfold.
Many training facilities and buildings were added.
He was satisfied with the upgraded barracks.
Then he began summoning soldiers.
[Charge Formation Camp] prompt: "Consumed 1500 Soul Coins, summoned one ordinary soldier."
[Charge Formation Camp] prompt: "Consumed 1500 Soul Coins, summoned one Pianjiang."
[Charge Formation Camp] prompt: "Consumed 1500 Soul Coins, summoned one Qianfuzhang."
...
[Charge Formation Camp] prompt: "Consumed 1500 Soul Coins, summoned Hero [Gao Shun]."
"Holy cow! I finally summoned [Gao Shun]!"
He excitedly looked down, and a beam of light flashed. A majestic soldier saluted him, "Your subordinate Gao Shun pays his respects to the Lord."
(Author: I try to write fewer attributes, but if I don't write those added building attributes, you'll feel unclear. I'm so troubled.)
