Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 481 - 255: Skeleton Legion (3)

At this moment, the Guard reported, Xue Rui requests an audience.

Luo De returned to the hall and sat down at the main seat.

"Lord, sorry to disturb you so late."

Xue Rui bowed respectfully and reported, "The dragon lair has been excavated, and the ravine below the cliff is also completed."

"According to your request, a trench three meters deep has been excavated, and sharp stakes will be placed inside later."

Luo De nodded with satisfaction.

The trench can greatly enhance the safety of the northern cliff, and it will be expanded when time allows.

"Very well."

He thought for a moment, "By the way, inform Lawrence and Otto that the deep ravine from now on is a forbidden area, don’t let everyone approach it casually."

Luo De was not worried about someone stealing the stakes but feared that someone might accidentally fall in and die.

After all, those sharp stakes are no joke.

"Yes, Lord."

Xue Rui nodded and continued to report, "The foundation outside the manor has also been excavated, and the slaves have begun laying the base of the outer wall."

"The work on the Ridge Dragon has been completed, you can take it away anytime."

"Let it rest first, I will arrange new work for it when I have time.

Luo De waved his hand, "It’s late, you should go to rest soon."

"Alright, Lord."

Xue Rui bowed deeply and respectfully withdrew.

As Xue Rui left, Luo De didn’t linger in the hall and went straight back to his room.

At night he had to practice the Ember Breathing Technique to replenish the Blazing Energy, it seemed there was no time for meditation.

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

If there could be a way to both cultivate Blazing Energy and enhance his Spiritual Power, it would be ideal.

"Eh?"

Luo De had a flash of inspiration, "Why not?"

If a wizard apprentice or knight were to hear this idea, they would certainly think it was fanciful and even laughable.

But after all, Luo De was not from this world, his mind was never confined by any rules or regulations.

Luo De pondered.

Perhaps he could attempt to enter a meditative state while practicing the Ember Breathing Technique?

Think and act.

Luo De immediately took a stance for cultivation, began adjusting his breathing rhythm, and quickly entered the state of Breathing Technique practice.

When the Blazing Energy in his body became active, Luo De slowly closed his eyes.

Then, he began meditation according to the Star Ring Meditation Technique, attempting to construct those complex star ring runes in his mind.

However, imagination was beautiful, reality was harsh.

No matter how hard Luo De tried.

He could not focus his mind to enter a state of meditation.

The Breathing Technique required him to focus on the flow of breath, while the Meditation Technique required him to focus on the operation of Spiritual Power.

The two cultivation methods conflicted with each other and could not be carried out simultaneously.

But Luo De did not give up and persisted until late at night.

His body became exhausted, and Luo De could no longer maintain the operation of the Breathing Technique, collapsing to the ground.

At this moment, the extreme exhaustion of body and mind allowed Luo De to relax, quickly entering a state of meditation.

The star rings emerged clearly in his mind, and Spiritual Power began to ripple slowly, constructing runes.

After approximately two hours of meditation, Luo De stopped the meditative state, feeling much better physically.

"It seems this method isn’t very realistic..."

Luo De sighed long and softly, leaning against the wall and muttering to himself,

"If one could use Spiritual Power to guide the flow of Blazing Energy, could that merge the Breathing Technique and Meditation Technique?"

"Forget it, such profound and mysterious matters don’t seem to be my expertise, it’s better to leave the research to Avril."

Luo De knew his lack of extraordinary knowledge, didn’t think much else, and got up to take out a purple extraordinary gemstone from the cabinet.

The twelve Life Gems had already been absorbed, and the seven Flame Gems were absorbed too.

Luo De’s Life Force was abundant, and his natural lifespan had reached around 220 years.

It’s worth mentioning that with the same specification of Life Gems, the Life Force increased remained the same, but the natural lifespan decreased.

Luo De estimated this was because he himself had become a powerful creature, and a longer lifespan required more Life Force to sustain.

If it hadn’t been for some especially large Life Gems among the twelve, Luo De estimated he could have only reached about 180 years.

Luo De now had four Spirit Gems left, two Magic Gemstones, three Frost Gems, three Hurricane Gems, and two Earth Gems.

Holding a Spirit Gem tightly, an all-too-familiar stabbing pain arrived.

Not long afterward, system information arrived,

[Absorbed a small amount of Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Strength increased by 6%, body energy affinity increased by 10%]

Luo De got up and placed his hand on the Crystal Ball, with light dots reaching thirteen.

This meant Luo De’s Spiritual Power had reached 13 points.

"It’s great to have a shortcut."

Luo De couldn’t help but smile.

He didn’t meditate as diligently as the other wizard apprentices in the territory, but now none could surpass his Spiritual Power.

Luo De closed his eyes, attempting to sense with his Spiritual Power, and instantly sensed Vivian outside the door.

Vivian had the seed of nature within her body, and due to proximity, he could easily feel her presence.

At this moment, Vivian sitting outside suddenly stood up, alert and observing her surroundings.

She searched for a while found nothing amiss, then reached out to knock on the wooden door.

"Baron, hold on for a moment."

Vivian said softly.

Luo De also awakened from his sense, opened the door, and

"What’s wrong?"

"I feel something’s odd, something is watching me, but I couldn’t find anything."

Vivian reported softly, her gaze still wandering in the room,

"It’s gone now, but still be cautious."

"..."

Luo De realized, the attention Vivian felt moments ago was from him.

But Luo De didn’t explain much, patting Vivian’s back gently,

"Very sharp, good alertness."

Luo De walked out of the room,

"I’ll rest first, tomorrow if possible let’s bring the Ridge Dragon to the coastline, begin the coastal expansion project there."

The Ridge Dragon being idle is a waste, let’s excavate as much as possible.

"Alright,"

Vivian nodded.

After scanning the entire room once more for any targets, Vivian withdrew her gaze and reminded, "But there are no slaves there, won’t manpower be a problem?"

"Should you dispatch some over there?"

"Sure, you have a point, Blade Mountain Stronghold is also opening up new land could help... wait."

Luo De suddenly had a flash of inspiration,

"The Ridge Dragon can excavate trenches, can’t it also easily plow land?"
