At first, it seemed impossible.

But more than anything, there was a desire to see, to examine what kind of remarkable force this suddenly appearing Tang City had become.

Just as Tang Feng anticipated, cultivators poured into the fifty cities continuously, eager to see the Tang Army and observe any changes in the local customs and practices.

Those who had been here felt it most deeply.

The changes were significant; once it became Tang City, everyone adopted the same model, opening economic exchanges among these fifty cities, sparking rapid prosperity.

Especially with the emergence of Divine Pills, many adventuring teams appeared outside the city.

Then, a continuous stream of Void Essence Beasts was brought in.

The meat from these beasts was incredibly valuable; previously, the city would go ten days or half a month without a single meal.

They wouldn't even dare to leave the city gates, let alone hunt the Void Essence Beasts.

This was why the beasts surrounded and hunted the city.

But Tang Feng was different.

He encouraged cultivators to venture out, not only to earn valuable Void Essence Crystals but also to exchange them for Divine Pills. Where else in the Divine Realm would such opportunities exist?

The cultivators who arrived never left again.

Once it was proven to be true, the speed at which cultivators flocked was nothing short of astonishing.

Where there are people, there is consumption. With consumption comes economic prosperity, and with economic prosperity, tax revenues increase, benefiting Tang Feng the most in the end.

As the saying goes, "The wool comes from the sheep." It was easy to adopt advanced concepts.

Tang Feng truly achieved a state of being able to sit back as fish swam up to his hook.

If it continues this way, the fifty cities will indeed become another center within the Void Origin Realm.

In the Northern Domain, this was almost an impossible occurrence.

Yet, as things continue to develop, it's already pretty close to inevitable.

This day, Tang Feng traveled incognito, for in reality, besides the City Lords and main generals of each city, most people didn't know what he looked like.

As the Supreme City Lord, his reputation was high, but his appearance was kept hidden to maintain a low profile; otherwise, he would be surrounded by people wherever he went, which was not enjoyable.

The Thirty Cities were at the edge of the Sect Domain; traveling twenty thousand miles from there would bring you to the Southern Domain's gate, Shinan City.

It was the most peripheral city of the Southern Domain.

Honestly, this city was neither near mountains nor the sea, not even close to a river, indicating its natural resources were scarce, and occasional attacks by aerial beasts worsened Shinan City's condition, leaving those who remained there because they had nowhere better to go or couldn't bear to leave their ancestral land.

Pity was inevitable.

And Shibei City was even more desolate, but things were different now.

Through the transmission array, a steady flow of resources was delivered to this city, and as a rear city, entertainment and commerce were more prominent.

Fragrance Pavilions and Poetry Buildings were everywhere here.

These were places to pass the time.

Upon arriving in this city, Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh at the flourishing literary culture; refined young masters were visible everywhere.

Judging by their attire, their families seemed well-off; otherwise, such a romantic scene was not easily accessed.

Entering meant spending money.

That night, in front of the Drunken Fragrance Building, Tang Feng also wanted to go in to spend some money and soak in the atmosphere.

He hadn't even entered yet.

Several women almost threw themselves at him, unable to help themselves, as Tang Feng's looks were exceptionally stunning. Men as perfect as him were practically nonexistent now.

His mere appearance sent these women's hearts tumbling.

This was no exaggeration; these women had seen thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of men, but such an outstanding one was a rarity.

An aura of elegance coupled with charisma, the oft-spoken of combination of literary and martial prowess, his demeanor was evident, and they knew that failing to approach him meant they weren't truly women of the Drunken Fragrance Building.

"Young Master, do you have a reservation?"

"Would you need company?"

"Little girl is gentle and refined, I beg the Young Master for compassion."

Another nearby woman wouldn't be outdone, "Young Master, little one's skill is unparalleled, I beg the Young Master for compassion."

"Little one's musical and lyrical talents are unmatched, I beg the Young Master for compassion."

Tang Feng was speechless, having just entered the door, yet they were already so eager.

"I'm sorry, I have an appointment."

"Then let us escort the Young Master up, if you would be so kind as to tell us which sister has caught your eye."

Tang Feng pointed at the top floor, "She's there."

The women immediately fell silent, "Young Master, be our guest; we won't disturb you."

They watched Tang Feng's departing figure with disappointment, thinking what a fine man he was.

He was another woman's fortune.

In fact, they didn't know that Tang Feng didn't actually have an appointment; he had just noticed a solitary woman upstairs.

In a grand room, she was playing with words and ink, piquing his curiosity.

Mainly because this woman didn't carry the air of the Drunken Fragrance Building, untainted by its surroundings.

When Tang Feng entered the building, he found the first floor was completely packed with people, some gambling, some listening to music, and others purely there for women.

But the second floor was obviously different.

There were many young masters, but more were women, and their appearances weren't bad; each wore charming garments and didn't appear dust-stained.

It seemed he was mistaken.

These women must be chosen specifically, meaning they didn't serve other men besides these young masters.

Of course, if they were ever discarded, they had only two choices: falling to the bottom, or redeeming themselves and leaving.

Most of the women would choose to leave.

What they earned in the Drunken Fragrance Building could easily set them up outside in life.

In the Cultivation World, anyone with ability wouldn't dare look down on women.

Take Tie Xinlan of Divine Feather City; she's a role model for outstanding women.

In the Void Origin Realm, she was indeed famous, as there were less than ten cities where women served as City Lords.

Fewer than twenty sects.

Top-tier sects were only two: Yaochi Palace and Snow God Palace.

No one truly knew how many hidden forces there were.

Tang Feng reached the third floor.

This floor was more elegant, boasting not only pleasant scenery but also women with higher beauty, and their literary skill was quite impressive.

There he saw a woman writing swiftly and beautifully, with deep skill in her writing.

"Does the young master have an appointment?" a woman beside him asked.

"I suppose. You continue," Tang Feng smiled slightly and walked towards the fourth floor.

He was stopped, though.

A woman emerged at the staircase, coldly saying, "To meet the Tower Master, you must demonstrate literary talent; she requires you to compose a poem on the theme of a moonlit night. Once the Tower Master approves, you may go up."

Tang Feng's divine sense swept, finding a woman standing at the window upstairs, thus forming an idea.

"Jade stairs glisten with white dew, night long seeps into silken socks, descend the crystal curtain, Linglong views the autumn moon."

"Proceed!"

The woman spoke then vanished into the void, but Tang Feng knew she was certainly still there.

Young master, please enter.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, apart from the corridor, there were ladies' rooms—a study and a bedroom.

Few men could come up, of course, limited to being received.

Pushing the door open, Tang Feng finally saw this woman of unmatched beauty.

A woman with an academic aura was indeed different, and Tang Feng couldn't help but glance a few more times.

"Young Master's poem is good, but it's too lonely a depiction; I didn't quite enjoy it," the woman personally brewed tea and handed it to Tang Feng.
