Resources were paramount, and Lucian spared no expense in allocating them wisely.
Over the past three days, his combat results had been exceptional, yielding tens of thousands of Void Crystals and Void Essence Stones. Using these resources, he had successfully upgraded various buildings, constructed new defensive towers, and bolstered his life-sustaining structures.
Now, on the 14th day at 9 a.m., Lucian stood before the Lunar Palace.
"Upgrade!"
Taking a deep breath, he immediately elevated the Lunar Palace to level five.
Then, without hesitation, he recruited fifty Lunar Palace practitioners.
Void Essence Stones -5000
Void Crystals -50,000
Even amidst the perpetual darkness of the void, the radiant splendor of the Lunar Palace could not be overshadowed. Its jade-white foundation and gemstone-encrusted steps exuded opulence as the grand doors swung open.
One by one, graceful maidens emerged.
Their silhouettes were elegant, their demeanor pure and sweet. They were dressed in flowing white robes cinched with fitted sashes, accentuating their slender figures. Their hair, tied neatly with silk ribbons, cascaded down their backs, framing delicate, charming faces.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The soft, harmonious voices of the young women chimed together like a melodic choir. Their tones varied but all carried a lively, captivating quality.
Lucian's heart raced at the sight.
The air was filled with their youthful energy and a faint, refreshing fragrance. These were natural beauties, free from artificial embellishments, each exuding a charm that rivaled the most enchanting visions of his past life.
Compared to the military discipline of the Great Qin Warriors, these lively practitioners displayed a vivacious curiosity. They gathered around Lucian, their eyes sparkling with wonder, as questions poured out.
"Your Majesty, are we in the heavens?"
"Your Majesty, is this the immortal realm?"
"Your Majesty, did you summon me here to be your disciple?"
"Your Majesty, you smell so nice~!"
Their height ranged from 160 to 170 cm, their figures lean yet enticingly proportioned, radiating an ethereal allure.
However, their unrestrained enthusiasm left Lucian feeling a pang of nostalgia for the stoic professionalism of the Qin soldiers.
"Quiet down!" he commanded firmly.
The maidens instantly hushed, their large, adoring eyes fixed on him with awe.
"Be patient. I'll address you all shortly."
They obediently nodded, covering their mouths in a display of endearing compliance.
Lucian couldn't help but chuckle at their adorable demeanor. With a wave of his hand, he opened their attribute panels and began to elevate their levels.
1 → 2: Void Essence Stones -50
2 → 3: Void Essence Stones -100
3 → 4: Void Essence Stones -150
4 → 5: Void Essence Stones -200
With each level gained, their attributes experienced a dramatic enhancement.
