Chapter 352 Ye Cheng's Concerns

He was a commoner, but fortunately he received the teachings of his mentor and understood the truth clearly. He studied hard for ten years in a cold window, just to serve the country in the future.

He traveled thousands of miles to the imperial city, passed the imperial examination, topped the list, and entered the imperial court.

However, within a month, it was discovered that the national policy adopted was unreasonable.

"King Gao Ming pursued a policy of procreation and fertility, but he didn't know the ends of the earth and the limited food supply..."

"The population of the Jin Kingdom has been increasing over the years. Many families responded to King Gaoming's call and gave birth to three or five children, but the number of fields cultivated has not increased."

"This is a wealthy family, but we can only eat less and less to support our family's daily expenses."

"Today, the world belongs to Jin, with no strong enemies outside and no worries inside. Why should we implement such a policy?"

[What else can I do, collect those with spiritual roots and form an army. ]

[It is estimated that King Gao Ming is also aware of the barrenness of this world, and his own strength has grown to the limit, and he is ready to make moves on the broader Fairy Continent...]

Jiang Lan complained secretly while listening.

Ye Cheng continued: "I originally wanted to meet King Gao Ming about this matter, but I never even met him."

"I also heard from my seniors that this matter was decided by King Gaoming himself, and no one can object..."

"Isn't this the behavior of a tyrant who acts arbitrarily?"

Ye Cheng took the grilled fish angrily and took a bite bitterly.

Listening to the sound, it seems that they didn’t even care about the fish bones and just chewed them up and swallowed them...

"So Brother Ye resigned and returned home because of this?"

"It's not that I want to resign, but that the admirers of King Gaoming in the court made me wear small shoes and did not cooperate with my work. If I failed the examination, the court took away my official uniform and dismissed me from my official position..."

"The person I'm really angry about is not King Gao Ming...well, a little bit."

"But what makes me even more angry is that those admirers are now being isolated and excluded even for raising political opinions. So what else can be said about government affairs?"

"The future of this country is in the hands of these people, what else can I expect? Even civilians..."

"Forget it, just go back, bow down in the fields, live in a cottage, and spend the rest of your life..."

Afterwards, the two of them ate the grilled fish in silence, put out the bonfire, and slept in their clothes...

This place is close to the official road, and there are often sergeants patrolling the surrounding area to drive away wild beasts. It has been a long time since any wild beasts hurt anyone.

However, both of them have the means, so naturally they are not afraid of mere beasts.

Although Jiang Lan has closed her eyes, her consciousness has sunk into the realm of freedom.

Unlike the starry sky outside, here the sun just happens to be blooming, marking the beginning of a new day.

The steady development in Xiaoyao World does not require Jiang Lan to worry about.

The external body intends to disguise itself as a ranger, patrol around, collect information, and wait for the other party to take action.

With Jiang Lan's strength, if he wanted to hide it, the opponent would not be able to find him even if he dug three feet into the ground.

What's more, the other party probably hasn't noticed Jiang Lan yet and is busy looking for Han Gongxian and the others...

"It's time to take care of yourself when you have nothing to do."

Jiang Lan's qi training method has reached the stage of perfect foundation building. If he wants to break through the alchemy formation, he needs the elixir formation spiritual object. After success, he must prepare for the alchemy tribulation.

But these are not available to him for the time being, so he can only block the progress and wait for another day.

What's more, the answer I got from [Heaven's Knowledge] seems to have not yet come true...

"Wind refining, fire refining, thunder refining, aren't these all pill refining tribulations? You can make elixirs by choosing one of them, but I've never heard of anyone being able to do all three at the same time."

"Speaking of which, is there really anyone whose true elixir can withstand such training?"

Jiang Lan once thought like this, until she got a golden bamboo slip from the void storm...

"Secrets of the Nine Transformations Golden Pill"

This bamboo slip is written in mysterious characters, not the characters of the Fairy Continent, but it does look a bit like the ‘Taoist texts’ that Jiang Lan understood!

However, Jiang Lan only knew a few words in the Taoist text, so she didn't understand what it said.

As for why I know the name of this thing, it’s thanks to [God knows]!

Looking back now, [Tian Zhi]'s questions and answers were all in "Tao Wen", but he could also understand the meaning.

It happened that there were words such as 'Fire Refining', 'Thunder Refining', and 'Nine Transformations Golden Pill' among them.

But even so, some things still need to be studied and understood.

This thing can only be put on the shelf for the time being, and we can wait until we have thoroughly researched it before we can think about it again.

In addition, there are the ways to refine the body and the way to temper the soul.

Both of them have room for improvement. The way to refine the body will soon reach the perfection of true power, and when the time comes, they should prepare for a breakthrough.

But he didn't know the follow-up path of body refining, and he didn't even know the name of the subsequent realm.

His self-created "Five Spirits Illusion Master Xuan Gong" can only support his cultivation to the perfection of his true power.

There is no reference for subsequent exercises, and even the direction is unclear. Even if Jiang Lan's understanding is incredible, she doesn't know where to go.

Fortunately, there is another one worthy of his attention, and that is soul tempering!

This way has just been developed, and everything is still in the exploratory stage. With the mutuality of the three treasures of the human body, "Essence, Qi and Shen", there will be no problem at least to the second level of perfection.

However, the details will depend on how this road develops in the future.

Fortunately, Jiang Lan relies on the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect. There are now pioneers in these three paths, and they can also look after each other and explore.

As long as there is enough time, we will be able to explore the follow-up path. After all, we will trial and error one by one. As long as the base is large enough and the time is extended, we can always try to find a feasible path...

"It seems that my strength will be stuck at the second level. I wonder if I can return to the fairyland before then and find a way to continue to improve my strength."

"But we must be prepared for being trapped for a long time."

Jiang Lan came to the medicinal field behind his cave. The spiritual field was less than ten acres, but the spiritual plants planted in it were extraordinary.

The technique he created, "Qinglongyuan Zhendao Dian", has a secret method for cultivating spiritual plants, called "Muyuan Cultivation Secret Method".

This method combines the strange techniques of soil accumulation, spiritual cultivation, and grafting.

It has the effect of cultivating spiritual plants and spiritual fields in all directions.

These spiritual fields were able to advance quickly under the nourishment of this technique and the hard work of the "big dragon", and have reached the level of the lower third level.

If it were not restricted by the spiritual energy in the air, it could continue to rise.

After all, it is only a second-level "spiritual energy spring". Even with the "Five Elements Rotating Spirit Gathering Array", there is still a lot of gap with the third-level spiritual vein.

In these spiritual fields, some precious spiritual plants that Jiang Lan had collected during his practice were planted.

For example, the [Golden Ginkgo Tree] that produces the treasures of ‘fine gold’ and ‘secret silver’.

After planting, the [Ice Ying Bamboo] that was not taken care of was now as tall as a person and was growing well.

This bamboo is most effective for people with ice spiritual roots. The bamboo body can be used as a magic weapon, and its liquid can also calm the mind and eliminate inner demons after dilution.

There is the [Golden Jade Ganoderma] that emits a glittering golden light, with three fleshy leaves squeezed together and blooming one after another.

Not long after this thing was planted, it was fortunate to have a mutation and suddenly grew three leaves.

Jiang Lan called it [Three-leaf Golden Jade Ganoderma] to distinguish it.

This thing has the same effect as the ‘Twin Silver Moon Flower’. They are both more productive when separated and more medicinal when combined.

It just so happens that the sect's second-level demon beast inner elixir is about to be used up, and many people will be stuck at that time. With this [Three-leaf Golden Jade Ganoderma], this problem can be solved very well.

It only takes a hundred years to harvest a 300-year-old 'Golden Jade Ganoderma', which is more than enough to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills.

And with the addition of Jiang Lan's skills, this time can be shortened again.

[Farming]: Third-level entry (0%)

Branch ability: [Harvest +40%] [Growth speed +40%] [Alienation probability +20%] [Breeding]

[Wood Source Cultivation Secret Method]: Full level

Branch ability: [Range +80%] [Consumption -80%] [Growth speed, harvest +50%]

Adding the two together, the growth rate is almost doubled.

It is estimated that a batch can be harvested in 50 years. If there is no rush, it can be allowed to grow on its own. After 150 years, three finished products can be harvested.

No matter how you calculate it, 50 batches of foundation-building pills just meet the 60 blood and qi barrier limit of the cultivator.

But this alone is far from enough...
