"The Five Elements Transform into Mortal, and the Immortal Dao is close to the people" is the main color of the Sixth Age.

In fact, since the third era "Red Dust Era", immortal cultivators have gradually realized the invisible support role of mortals for "cultivation", and they have begun to get close to Hongchen.

In the Fourth and Fifth Ages, the immortals were also "close to people", even more radical than they are now.

At that time, in order to explore the "Dao Fruit of Entering the World", he had entered a more radical mode of immortal and mortal cohabitation, and cultivators mingled with mortals in an open capacity.

At that time, the cultivators relied on their own power to call for wind and rain, and even directly used the power of immortals to provide products for mortals, and mortals had endless spiritual valleys and spiritual food, which was almost equivalent to reverse "offerings"; Throughout the year, wind, rain, thunder and lightning are also regulated by full-time cultivators.

If there is a disease, it is even more common for cultivators to give spiritual elixir and talisman water.

At that time, there were no demon clans and evil cultivators; The rivalry between the immortal dynasties is the only threat to the mortal people.

In the words of Xu Zhenyun's previous life, it is a social form of "highly developed productive forces".

However, it seems that this development did not meet the expectations of the monks.

Due to the unequal status of the two sides, the dependence and worship of mortals on the ascetic increased day by day; Although there is no suffering from freezing and starvation, the spiritual power of mortals is becoming more and more barren; Once the examination confirms that he is a mortal who does not have a spiritual root, he often enters a state of being happy in time, drunk and dreaming of death, and spends his life in chaos.

On the contrary, the income of the cultivators who entered the world to "close people" is decreasing day by day.

By the Sixth Age, such a model was replaced by the system of "the five elements turn into mortals, the immortal path is close to the people" and "the immortals are one, and the world is the same as the dust". The monks are also close to the red dust, but they achieve a wonderful balance by mixing them with the way of "being with the world".

At the same time, according to Mr. Chaoyin's edict, the cultivator's support for the mortal people must be strictly limited to "extraordinary things in the mortal" in terms of things, and the power of the cultivator must not be abused.

The so-called "extraordinary in the mortal" refers to the refining from the "origin of the five elements", because it has a weak spiritual ability and is closely related to the immortal power, so it has a wonderful nature; But the mortals can be separated from the things that the cultivators control independently.

There are many such "extraordinary" things that are used in the world, but most of them are used in some fragmentary occasions, such as the "sensibility gold" that can be used as a scale as a clock when gravity changes at any time, the "flowing silver beads" that are similar to mercury in nature, and can be turned into a sphere to seal rare items.

Although these things are wonderful, they have only a small impact on society as a whole.

There is only one kind of "main force" in each of the five elements, which has a great influence on the world, and almost constructs the form of the entire society.

The influence is second to none, and it is the "main force of the wood line" in the five elements - Dongzhou Tiemu.

The magic of this wood lies in the fact that it is exceptionally soft and easy to process within 12 hours of being felled; But after twelve hours, it became extremely hard, tough, and non-corrosive, almost equivalent to the special alloy of the previous life.

Therefore, forestry is the largest industry in Xinyuan Honzhou, replacing almost seventy percent of stone and metal. Xu Zhenyun's own house, courtyard walls, and even almost all the buildings in the Divine Capital are paved with wood.

From tables and chairs, to dishes and chopsticks, and even all kinds of daily parts. Unless there is a special need, or it is used for decoration, iron, porcelain, and even other varieties of wood are used; The rest are all standardized production of ironwood materials.

Xu Zhenyun overlooked the Shendu from the Tianhe Five Elements Boat, and almost all of his existence was shaped by iron and wood.

It is no exaggeration to say that the mundane world of Xinyuan Honzhou is a "world of wood"!

The influence is second only to Dongzhou Tiemu, and it is the "main force of water travel" in the five elements - the water of the mirror moon.

This thing constitutes a secret realm that does not require any spells or mana activation, and mortals can enter and exit freely; As a result, the "Eight Departments of Chengguan" system was established. Especially combined with the current background of the times when the "Beginningless Heavenly Xuan Array" is trapped in the city, it is equivalent to expanding the scale of a city several times, and the effect is self-evident.

The third place is the "main force of fire" in the five elements - the cold flame.

This thing is mainly used in the production field, and the use process is quite cumbersome, but it is not seen much in daily life.

This is a peculiar flame that is not very hot in itself, but it can melt many metals with very high melting points; As a result, the threshold of the metallurgical industry has been greatly reduced, and the "cold melting method" of cold flame casting has become the mainstream of metallurgy in this era.

Compared with the above three lines, the remaining main forces of gold and earth are still magical and practical, but because of the current small output and high price, they are only popular among the wealthy among the mortals.

Among them, the "main force of the gold bank" - Shadow Yuan Jin, its role is also very simple, that is, it is used for storage.

However, unlike the storage ring used by cultivators, the storage ring refined by this object does not need to be activated by mana, and after being kept close to the body for seventy-two hours, the "assimilation" effect is achieved. After that, I can use any bit of bodily fluid, usually a little saliva, to use the storage ring to store or remove items.

It's just a storage ring made of "Shadow Yuan Gold", and the smallest is one finger thick and three inches in size; It is certainly impossible to make a ring; Bracelets are also very coarse.

According to today's customs, it is usually made into a belt, which is equivalent to the metal head part of the belt.

And although this item can be stored, the weight of the items in it is not completely shielded like the monk's storage ring, but only about two-thirds of the weight loss.

At the same time, the stability of this storage space needs to be improved, and if there are strong mana fluctuations around, there is a risk of collapse.

However, this does not prevent this object from still having a high use value. If it weren't for the high price, it would have been accessible to thousands of households a long time ago.

If you walk down the street and see a ring-shaped bulge on a person's abdomen, you can see that this person is worth a lot of money.

The last type of "earth-walking main force" is called "Soil of Feelings".

It is a collection of fine dust, but it is very compact and red; It looks like ink. It is also usually served in a shallow, round box.

The purpose of this object is to place two or more boxes of "ink clay" in a stable and confined space, and wait for an hour, this object will form a wonderful induction.

Even if they are separated afterwards, even if they are far away, use a small wooden stick to write on the "ink" in one box, and the same handwriting will appear in the other boxes at the same time.

The scientific name of its finished product is the "Spiritual Compass" mentioned by today's eldest sister and brother-in-law.

The transmission distance of the compass is closely related to the size of the object. Taking the most common three-inch diameter "ink box" as an example, its sensing distance is 500 miles.

Each "Sensory Compass" can be used to form an induction with up to twelve other compasses.

Xu Zhenyun said: "Brother-in-law, how much does this thing cost?" ”

Tang Xiaoyun and Xu Zhenyun looked at each other, and said with some embarrassment: "Nine hundred taels." ”

After swallowing a mouthful of smearing, Tang Shayun immediately added: "Now it's eight percent off, seven hundred and twenty taels." ”

Xu Zhenyun blinked. That's not a small amount!

Sure enough, it is something that only large households can afford.

The eldest sister Xu Mengxue explained: "In fact, there are only a small number of reasons for dealing with today's magnetic disorder. It is expected that such an unfortunate event will not happen very often. ”

"There are two main considerations; First, in the near future, the scale of ranch operation may expand by two or three times; The second is to consider that after purchasing this item, everyone will help each other, and the time spent in the 'pastoral department' can be shortened by one-third in the future. You can also take time out to run other side hustles. ”

In fact, what Xu Mengxue didn't say was that the rest of the large-scale herdsmen around them had discussed the configuration of this thing, and if they wanted to expand the scale of breeding and help each other in the future, they would have to integrate into this circle. In this case, this contact tool is indispensable.

Xu Zhenyun can naturally figure this out.

Xu Zhenyun thought carefully and said, "I understand." ”

"I'll talk to Uncle."

Tang Xiaoyun was overjoyed, stood up suddenly, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Zhenyun, you agreed?" ”

Xu Zhenyun smiled and said, "Why don't you agree?" The big brother-in-law has a long-term vision, and the investment is totally worth it. ”

At present, a huge amount of money such as seven hundred and twenty taels of silver is needed, and it is obvious that there is only the remaining three thousand taels of silver that Xu Zhenyun earns. As long as Xu Zhenyun fully supports it, and the silver is used on his daughter and son-in-law, the uncle has no reason to disagree.

Even if one of the six yellow leaf notes was wasted by the three evils of the Xu family, there would still be five left; But with the use of five yellow leaf notes, even if Xu Zhenyun adheres to the way of "semi-hidden" and can not provide other help, the development of the Xu family will still have a great leap.

Sister Xu Qingshuang's "Food for the Sky" scale expansion is already underway, and she plans to go to the "Wenxin Silk Village" next door to propose the acquisition and transfer in the second half of the year.

At present, Tang Xiaoyun and Xu Mengxue have raised nearly 800 sheep, and they may not be able to increase the scale to 8,000 in the future!

It's just a matter of hiring more people.

After all, Tang Shayun was reluctant to speak and danced, but if he wanted to say something more, he couldn't after all.

Xu Zhenyun smiled and said: "Then I'll wait, brother-in-law, you become our Yuhuafang, no, the number one shepherd in the entire Nanyang County!" ”

Tang Shayun's face was full of red light, nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Okay!" ”

Xu Qingshuang knocked a chestnut on the top of Xu Zhenyun's head: "What number one shepherd, it's hard to hear." ”

Xu Zhenyun thought for a while and said, "Then ...... Shepherd number one! ”

Xu Mengxue smiled, held Tang Huaiting in her arms and shook it, and said, "Zhenyun, the pillar of our family." And it's still ...... That kind of person. Second sister, don't always be the same as before in the future, get started at every turn. ”

Xu Zhenyun nodded again and again: "What the eldest sister said is very right!" ”

Xu Qingshuang made a gesture to pull Xu Zhenyun's ears and snorted: "Don't use the eldest sister as a shield." When it's time to fix it, you have to fix it. ”

Xu Zhenyun flexibly avoided and said with a smile: "Then I'll stay away in the future." ”

Xu Mengxue and Tang Xiaoyun were obviously in a good mood, and chatted with great interest, especially Tang Xiaoyun's rare beginning to share many interesting things in the ranch with Xu Zhenyun; It didn't disperse until dinner time.

On the way back to the room, Xu Zhenyun's heart moved inexplicably, and he felt that the experience in the courtyard just now seemed to have some unusual significance.

Whether it is Zhao Xiaoting's first seat or Ji Xiaohua, they only say that the "third lesson" will be completed after returning home today; But it doesn't say what the "third lesson" really is; But Xu Zhenyun has now understood by asking himself.

And invisibly, his "third lesson" has been successfully passed.
