My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

The over three hundred recipes that Master Paotu developed were quite different.

These recipes were all targeted at "non-food ingredient monsters." He had classified "food ingredient monsters" as standard ingredients.

"Myriad Poisons Salad (Green): Fight poison with poison; the more poison, the less poisonous it becomes. Consuming this dish can permanently enhance an individual's resistance to toxins."

"Gazing at the Abyss (Green): The abyss gazes into you as you gaze into it, consuming this dish can permanently enhance spiritual power."

"Mercury Bug Egg Soup," "Lava Eruption Soup," "Eyeball Platter," ...

Each dish could be called a work of art.

They also had quite artistic dish names.

Mu Yuan: "..."

"But to be fair, these dishes sound and look a bit unsettling, but the taste is quite good."

Even setting aside the taste, the permanent enhancements to spiritual power, toxin resistance, and other effects were enough to make people eagerly seek them out.

Potions that can permanently enhance certain metrics are already quite rare. Wealthy lords don't have the luxury to complain about the taste when consuming such potions; they're lucky to have them at all.

Master Paotu's dishes, in addition to being as potent as potions, also boast unique flavors.

Mu Yuan could say that Master Paotu's dishes tasted different from mainstream dishes, but it was undeniable that they were delicious.

"Master Paotu's dishes, like potions, provide diminishing returns with increased consumption."

A potion with a permanent enhancement effect shows significant results within the first three uses. Beyond that, its efficacy greatly diminishes, and after ten times, imbibing more will have no effect unless the user has a Devouring Talent like Duo Lai.

The monster dish effects are similar, with the best dietary effects occurring within the first three consumption of the same dish.

"But compared to potions, Master Paotu's cooking has one advantage..."

Master Paotu has a vast collection of recipes!

Just for permanently enhancing spiritual power, he has twenty-one recipes on hand.

Do the effects of the dishes diminish after eating too much? Just switch to a different monster ingredient!

What Eternal World has in abundance are the varieties of monsters.

"Now that the territory is open to Master Paotu for supplying ingredients and experimental materials, and with Duo Lai, the extraordinary food connoisseur, Master Paotu's development of new ingredients will surely far exceed the past."

"The recipe book looks promising."

...

By the time night fell, the effects of the third Refugee Recruitment Coupon had finally worn off. Get the latest from m-vl-emp _yr.

Outside of the city, the mist and refugees ceased to appear, but inside the city, it was still bustling with activity.

Over ten thousand refugees entered Tianyuan Territory, bringing many challenges to its management.

Lords like Lu Liu and officials found themselves somewhat overwhelmed.

Isloa also lacked experience in handling such situations. However, with her superior computing power and the multiple avatars capable of handling affairs independently, she managed to keep control of the situation.

Lord Shepherd oversaw the bigger picture, checking the information of each talent.

It seemed like in the blink of an eye, daylight had come.

They had not slept for three days and nights.

But it was no concern, he still felt energetic and thought he could go a few more days without sleep if necessary.

"Territory Population: 31233 / 30000 (✓)"

"Ding!"

"Prompt: Tianyuan Territory has met all the requirements for promotion. Would you like to spend 500 units of Soul Crystal to initiate the promotion trial?"

Mu Yuan chose not to start immediately.

Inside the territory, each commander, including himself, needed some rest.

He felt energized and confident, but maintaining a top condition for the trial was a basic requirement of Steady Spirit.

"Let's... rest for four hours."

"Can't rest completely though; open up a practice room and replace sleep with silent meditation."

Within the territory, all departments were still operating at full capacity.

The newcomers who had just obtained Tianyuan Territory Citizen status had been assigned housing, received clothes, and been grouped into work teams, beginning their new lives and work under the guidance of the old citizens.

They were moving into farms, ranches, mills, or into forging factories, alchemy workshops, canteens, and restaurants. The latter group often possessed skills, having performed excellently in earlier interviews.

These workers going to various units were only a minority among the new citizens.

The rest of the new citizens turned into brick-moving laborers, starting their work to build with grunts and groans. The vast majority of them were working hard because it was clear to them that the new houses being built would be their own homes.

Why wouldn't they work hard when it was not for their lord's house but their own?

Thanks to the busy work and physical exhaustion, conflicts among these newcomers were few. The few that did occur were quickly settled by the order keeping team, with both verbal and physical mediation.

Four hours later, Mu Yuan awakened from his silent meditation.

He opened his panel to take a look.

"Territory Morale: 72.5%." (✓)

"Territory Security Index: 92.8%." (✓)

These were the other two fundamental conditions for territory promotion, both requiring a score above 60% to satisfy.

The morale index had inevitably dropped sharply with the influx of a large number of new citizens. This would need to increase slowly over time.

The security index...

Mu Yuan did not feel that Tianyuan Territory was very safe.

To the north, hundreds of kilometers away, skirmishes were still ongoing, and Tianyuan's elites were occasionally wounded.

Southward, they were discovering more and more signs of active Snake-men.

He felt that a crisis was looming right at his doorstep.
