The Strongest County Magistrate in the Three Realms, But I’m Really Only in the Qi Refining Stage

Gu Ping’an transmigrates into the body of a down-on-his-luck county magistrate and activates the All Spirits Settlement System. Bad news: his cultivation level is permanently locked at the Qi Refining stage. Good news: there’s no limit to the number of Qi Refining levels, and every registered county resident grants him one level of Qi Refining!] Gu Ping’an looks at the more than two thousand people under his care, all on the verge of starving to death, and his eyes light up. A bandit chieftain at the ninth level of Qi Refining leads his men in a massacre, swaggering as he shouts, “Kneel, or die!” Gu Ping’an silently glances at his panel: [Current population: 2,147.] [Cultivation: 2,147 levels of Qi Refining, equivalent to Nascent Soul combat strength!] Boom! The bandit chieftain is slapped into the city wall so hard he can’t be pried out! From then on, everything changes. [Ding! Successfully persuaded 300 bandits to settle here. Cultivation breakthrough: 2,400 levels!] [Ding! Took in the demon clan’s princess, who had fallen on hard times. 30,000 demon cultivators from her clan registered as citizens. Cultivation breakthrough: 30,000 levels!] When the armies of the gods lay siege, intent on destroying the place, Gu Ping’an, radiating the crushing pressure of “9,999,999... levels of Qi Refining,” stomps the Immortal Emperor’s carriage to pieces. “Once you enter Taiping County, either pay the settlement fee or... die!”
