Volume 1 Cultivation in the Human Realm Chapter 8 Finally Becoming a Dependent

8.5 thriving fire dynasty

After the development plan of the Lihuo Dynasty was put forward and implemented, the whole country has undergone major changes.

First of all, the armed forces, which have been disarmed, have optimized the size and structure of the armed forces, improved their operational efficiency, paid more attention to improving the quality and ability of individual soldiers, strengthened actual combat training, and improved their ability to cope with various security threats. This includes training in complex meteorological conditions, night training; Promote military education, improve the leadership ability of commanders, etc. At the same time, the equipment of the army has also changed, due to the popularization of coking technology, the furnace temperature in the smelting process has also increased significantly, and the smelting of various weapons and equipment in the army has made the soldier equipment of the Fire Dynasty far ahead of the other three surrounding countries.

The second is economic recovery. With a series of economic stimulus policies and reforms introduced by the Lihuo government, the economic situation has gradually improved. Urban-rural infrastructure development has become a precursor to recovery, and large-scale infrastructure projects have led to employment and industrial development.

In cities, narrow roads are being widened into wide streets, which not only improves people's daily travel, but also facilitates business and trade activities, and greatly improves the efficiency of cargo transportation. The newly built roads connect the city center with the surrounding villages, forming a convenient transportation network and greatly promoting the integrated development of urban and rural economies.

The trading venues have been carefully planned and built to meet the needs of commercial activities of different scales. Large bazaars and trading markets have been built, attracting many merchants to come and trade. The internal facilities of the market are complete and the classification is clear, which makes the commodity trading orderly and the people's shopping experience is greatly improved.

Immediately after the trade place, the supporting service facilities also rose rapidly. Inns and restaurants are located in various transportation arteries, providing comfortable accommodation and catering services for business travelers from afar. Most of these inns and restaurants are built in the local style, not only providing basic services, but also showcasing the cultural characteristics of the Lihuo Dynasty, becoming a new attraction for visitors from all over the world.

Entertainment and leisure venues such as teahouses, theaters, and gardens have also been opened, enriching the cultural life of the people and business travelers, and at the same time injecting new vitality into economic development. These places have become important places for people to socialize and relax, and have also become centers for promoting the development of local culture and art.

The establishment of distribution stations and logistics centers ensures the high efficiency and low cost of goods distribution, and provides convenient cargo storage and transshipment services for merchants. The establishment of the dart bureau provides a safe escort for valuable goods and ensures the safety of commercial activities.

On the whole, the economic recovery of Lihuo Dynasty is not only reflected in the improvement of hardware facilities, but also in the prosperity of the service industry and the creation of a cultural atmosphere. The effective policies of the imperial court and the positive response of the market jointly promoted a virtuous cycle of the economy and laid a solid foundation for the long-term prosperity of the Lihuo Dynasty.

As the economic environment recovers, people gradually become wealthier and have more disposable income for daily consumption. Household purchasing power has also increased, which means they can buy more goods and services, and people are emboldened to invest more in their children's education, which can help further socio-economic development. As incomes increase, so does people's investment in their health. Affluent households are more likely to appreciate spending money on better medical care, healthier food, and fitness activities to improve their overall health. As the economy recovers and personal wealth grows, people are beginning to think about long-term planning to ensure the preservation and appreciation of wealth and future economic security. People have more leisure time and money to spend on recreational and cultural activities, and the quality of life and spiritual satisfaction are improved, thus promoting the overall harmony and progress of society.

The most significant results have been achieved in the medical field. Jiaojiao's achievements and contributions in the medical career are extremely important to Lihuochao. The 50 disciples she trained at Kyoto Hospital not only reached a high level of technical excellence, but also set a benchmark for this society in terms of medical ethics and personal qualities. These disciples inherited Jiaojiao's teachings and spirit, disseminated advanced medical knowledge in various parts of the Lihuo Dynasty, cultivated more medical talents, and effectively improved the medical level and response ability of the entire country.

When the epidemic broke out in several counties of the imperial court, Jiaojiao's disciples bravely stood on the front line of the fight against the epidemic regardless of their personal safety, and their dedication and sacrifice not only saved countless lives, but also won the respect and love of the people. This fearless spirit and professional performance greatly improved the overall medical level of the Lihuo Dynasty, and also increased the people's trust and satisfaction with the imperial court.

With the completion of medical stations in various places, the public health system has become more robust, providing a solid foundation for the country to face possible health challenges in the future. All these changes are inseparable from Jiaojiao's original intention and efforts, and she has proved the important role of medical workers in the development of the country and the health of the nation through her own practice.

Through such development and reform, Lihuo Dynasty has not only made great progress in the medical field, but also provided a guarantee for the development of all aspects of society and the well-being of the people. The influence of Jiaojiao and her disciples will continue to spread to the benefit of society as a whole.

When Emperor Yunxuan and Jiaojiao returned to the court, they were very satisfied with all the changes here, and immediately made the decision to feast the courtiers and improve the remuneration of the court officials. This decision was immediately warmly supported by all the ministers.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, it has been 8 years since she came back from the secret realm in a flash, Jiaojiao looked at her beloved twin sons and daughters, and felt very relieved and proud.

His two children are extremely smart, since they were young, the children were washed by their mother with spiritual spring water for them, and then with a large number of pills to help exercise the children's muscles and bones, the son Yun Tianqi is infinitely powerful, and he always likes to dance with guns and sticks every day, and now, the mastery of martial arts has reached an awe-inspiring level. His marksmanship is already very exquisite, and every swing seems to tell the bravery and wisdom of the battlefield. and her daughter Yun Mengqi is quiet and soft, and she also shows extraordinary talent. She not only maintains a quiet and feminine character, but also has an extraordinary talent in literature and music. Her poems seem to make people forget the troubles of the world and immerse themselves in the beautiful melody and artistic conception. Her piano skills have reached the realm of making flowers bloom and birds stop. Jiaojiao knows that these two children are her most valuable treasures in the world. In the days to come, whether it is the son's martial arts or the daughter's art, they will become legends and be praised by the world. Jiaojiao's wish is to see them grow up healthy and happy and become leaders in their respective fields.

In the blink of an eye, the children are already 10 years old, and Yun Xuan must bring his son Yun Tianqi to listen to the court every day. From then on, Xiao Tianqi not only had to work hard to cultivate immortals every day, but also learned the knowledge of governing the country from his father in the court. Although Apocalypse is still young and immature, it is difficult for him to sit on the bench for a long time, but under the strict supervision of his father, Apocalypse insisted on holding on with amazing perseverance until the daily pilgrimage dispersed. Under the influence of his father, Tianqi had a preliminary understanding of the wisdom of governing the country. He began to understand that although force is powerful, it will not last long without the assistance of wisdom. He hopes that he can become a person who is both civil and military like his father, who can not only defend his family and country on the battlefield, but also stabilize the country in the court.

Under the guidance of Yun Xuan, Xiao Tianqi began to learn various cultural knowledge such as history, politics, and economics. Whenever Yun Xuan explained the rise and fall of history, Xiao Tianqi would concentrate on it, trying to learn from the governing experience of the emperors of the past dynasties. His thirst for knowledge was very strong, and he often asked his father his questions after the court meeting, and asked them to the end.

Yun Mengqi was not far behind, her attainments in literature and music became deeper and deeper, and she began to try to compose her own poems and scores. Her work has a unique charm that touches the softest parts of the human heart. Jiaojiao often arranges small gatherings for Yun Mengqi to showcase her talent in front of her family and friends, and she always wins a full house.

As time passed, both Jiaojiao and Yun Xuan began to think about the future of their children. They know that with such talent and hard work, children will surely go further on their own paths. As parents, what they have to do is to do their best to provide their children with the best resources and environment so that they can grow up carefree and become the person of their dreams.

Children still have a long way to go, full of unknowns and challenges. But with parents like Jiaojiao and Yun Xuan, who are both wise and powerful, to tutor them, Yun Tianqi and Yun Mengqi will undoubtedly go on more tenaciously.

Yun Xuan and Jiaojiao's cultivation has improved a lot over the years, and Yun Xuan has now entered the advanced level of the third level of the "Cave Xuan Heart Method", and he is one step away from entering the Great Perfection. This kind of cultivation must be one of the best in the Lihuo Dynasty, which is enough to give him a high prestige and influence inside and outside the court.

Jiaojiao's cultivation has entered the intermediate and high-level of the reversal chapter of the "Cave Xuan Heart Method". People who can cultivate to this level undoubtedly have extremely high personal qualifications, which also shows Jiaojiao's dedication and persistence in cultivation.

Jiaojiao not only achieved something in her personal cultivation, but also guided other cultivators and helped them improve their cultivation, and this contribution made her extremely prestigious among the people. Her actions played a key role in improving the cultivation atmosphere of the entire Lihuo Dynasty, and the formation of the Immortal Cultivation Tide not only changed the fate of many people, but also improved the status of the Lihuo Dynasty among the surrounding countries. However, Jiaojiao clearly knew that although the existence of immortal cultivators would enhance the national strength, the status and discourse power of the Lihuo Dynasty in the international arena would also be improved, but it would also affect the balance of the region. In any region, contradictions and conflicts between countries depend on strength, and war and peace are concrete manifestations of strength. The addition of Immortal Cultivators will change the shape of war, but it may also promote peace due to the presence of Immortal Cultivators, as the cost of war will become more high. Therefore, Jiaojiao issued the "Immortal Cultivators' Convention" to this world, establishing the "Immortal Cultivators Alliance", which strictly prohibits immortal cultivators from participating in the struggle between countries, and also strictly prohibits immortal cultivators from fighting with ordinary people and oppressing people with power.

8.6 Sudden changes in the situation

One day, an old man suddenly appeared in front of Yun Xuan and Jiaojiao, and Yun Xuan was about to ask who was coming, but Jiaojiao suddenly bowed down and said, "Welcome to the Humble House." ”

The old man spoke: "After many years, I see you today, sure enough, your cultivation is good, and you have lived up to the old man's expectations for you!" Moreover, under your leadership, there are many more immortal cultivators on this planet, which is a lot of power! Now, the planet is facing a catastrophe, and I hope we can join forces to eradicate the scourge together! ”

It turned out that in the Demon War hundreds of years ago, because the Demon Rescue Personnel lost their coordinates and did not dare to return to the Demon Base Camp for help, the Demon Rescue could not find the rescued target in the vast universe. These demon cultivators on this planet joined forces to fight and were completely annihilated. This group of annihilated demons is very important to the entire demon race, because the demons have a long life, but the fertility rate is extremely low, and the reproduction of offspring is very slow, so every loss is catastrophic for the demons. When Yun Xuan and Jiaojiao entered the secret realm to explore the process, they destroyed the soul of the demon marshal, causing the guardian of the demon marshal family to sense the location of the demon marshal's death and general death with a secret method.

The Guardian of the Planet heard about this while traveling in the universe, so he hurried back and changed the coordinates of the planet's position in the universe slightly, so that the demons would not find it soon.

"Judging from the current situation, the strength of you and the king of the sea is still a little worse, if the cultivation of the two of you goes further, it is possible to reach a tie in the battle against the king of the demon race."

The old man said.

"As the guardian of this planet, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the beings of this planet, but my strength is still too thin, the strength of the immortal cultivators on this planet is too weak, and the number is pitiful. I hope you and the King of the Sea can go one level further." With that, the old man and Jiaojiao disappeared into the palace.

When Jiaojiao and the old man appeared outside this planet, Jiaojiao was shocked by the vast universe. Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly unfolded a vast picture of the boundless universe. The stars in the distance are like countless sparkling diamonds set in the black sky, and the beauty is breathtaking. The space around her was no longer the blue sky and white clouds she was familiar with, but a deep and unfathomable darkness, giving people a creepy and indescribable feeling, and occasionally a little starlight shuttled between them, as if each star was telling its own ancient story.

Jiaojiao felt a sense of insignificance and awe that she had never experienced before. She saw the dazzling glow of a star far away from her, the light of hundreds of millions of years ago, through the endless universe, and only now did it come into her eyes. The belt of the Milky Way is clearly visible, like a silvery-white river across the night sky, and nebulae and star clusters are intertwined to form a magnificent cosmic landscape.

The vastness of the universe made her understand that her planet was just a speck of dust in the universe, and her existence was even more insignificant. This shock is not only visual, but also touches the depths of the soul. Jiaojiao realizes that although she is a small existence in this sea of stars, she carries a great responsibility to protect her homeland, and this mission is particularly important and urgent in the context of the universe.

The mysteries and unknown forces of the universe make Jiaojiao feel her own ignorance, and her awe of the universe arises spontaneously. In the company of the old man, she felt her breathing and heartbeat, which was particularly clear in this silent space. Jiaojiao knew that she needed to work harder to improve her strength, because the time she had was so short compared to the eternity of the universe, and she had to complete the mission of protecting the planet in this limited time.

"Old man, how long will it take for the demons to arrive at the earliest?" Jiaojiao asked. Since there is a vacuum in the universe, no medium exists, so sound cannot be transmitted, but immortal cultivators can communicate through sound transmission similar to radio waves.

"It is expected to take three months to arrive at the earliest, but it may also be three years, because of the fine-tuning of the coordinates, they may not be able to find it in a short time." The old man spoke.

"Now, I have three months of room to improve, and I should be able to move up one level." Jiaojiao said with confidence.

"Okay, I'll help you." The old man said. "I will show you the rules of the Heavenly Dao of this planet, and if you master these rules, you will quickly improve your cultivation," the old man pointed at the center of Jiaojiao's eyebrows.

In the silent universe, Jiaojiao relaxed and opened her sea of divine consciousness, allowing the rules of the Heavenly Dao to enter.

Under the mysterious power of the old man, Jiaojiao felt an unprecedented spiritual shock and spiritual baptism. The old man's fingertips seemed to touch the mysteries of the universe, allowing these profound knowledge and principles to flow into the depths of Jiaojiao's consciousness. The center of her eyebrows was like a lit star, emitting a faint light, which was the light of the fusion of the rules of the Heavenly Dao and her divine sense.

With the injection of Heavenly Dao rules, Jiaojiao's inner world has become extremely broad. She felt as if she was in an endless library, where every book recorded the laws and order of the planet. Her sea of divine consciousness was turbulent, and every fluctuation was an in-depth understanding and experience of the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

Epiphany is the key to cultivation and ascension. At this level, Jiaojiao has gone beyond mere exercises, she needs to synchronize with the rhythm of the universe and resonate with the breath of the planet. This is not only the ascension of wisdom, but also the sublimation of the soul. She began to understand the connection between all things, and felt a subtle connection between herself and the universe.

At the level of Jiaojiao, the improvement of cultivation is no longer the accumulation of quantity, but a qualitative leap. Under the guidance of the old man, Jiaojiao constantly broke herself and reshaped, and every reshaping made her cultivation to a higher level. She began to realize that the world was not simply black and white, but was made up of complex and changeable grays, and these gray areas were the key to her understanding of the way of heaven.

At this moment, Jiaojiao seems to be one with the entire universe, her breath synchronized with the twinkle of the stars, and her heartbeat resonates with the pulsating of the universe. Her divine consciousness became a part of the vast space of the universe, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao were the beacon for her to explore and cultivate.

As time passed, Jiaojiao's epiphany gradually deepened, and her cultivation also unconsciously reached new heights. The old man's help allowed her to see the wider world and open a new chapter in her cultivation.

I don't know how long it took, Jiaojiao woke up slowly, the old man was looking at her with a smile, she understood that her cultivation had broken through again, but she had not yet reached her cultivation limit.

At this time, the king of the ocean also stood beside him, this beautiful blue-haired woman, seeing Jiaojiao's breakthrough at this time, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Congratulations, Jiaojiao, the future master of the ocean!" ”

Jiaojiao hurriedly and modestly said: "Thank you, thanks to the old man's preaching and karma and the Dharma protector for me, I feel that I have not yet reached the limit, and there should still be room for improvement." ”

The old man said: "That means that your talent and qualifications are abnormal, and you are the only one on the entire planet who has this qualification, and your future will definitely not stop at this planet." ”

"Old man, thank you, I'll go back first and then comprehend further." After saying that, Jiaojiao gave the old man a deep disciple salute, and then took a step backwards, and in just a moment, she entered the atmosphere of the planet and disappeared.

Back in the palace, Jiaojiao's eyes showed a thin line of heavenly rules, she calmed down, her eyes were like a torch, through the material appearance, insight into these thin lines of heavenly rules. Among the five elements, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold, and they are mutually nourishing; Jin Ke Mu, Mu Ke Earth, Tu Ke Water, Water Ke Fire, Fire Ke Jin, Mutual Restraint and Mutual Control. Jiaojiao is a leader in traditional Chinese medicine, and she has long been proficient in the mastery and application of easy-to-learn knowledge, and the principles of the Five Elements have long been deeply rooted in her heart, and now, she wants to apply this knowledge to the weaving of the Heavenly Dao.

She spread her hands gently, and in front of her eyes, five colors of light slowly flowed, gold, blue, green, red, yellow, each color represented an element, and they began to weave according to some mysterious rhythm under the guidance of Jiaojiao. With Jiaojiao's mind, the power of the five elements began to cooperate with each other, alternating between sheng and ke, and one after another delicate and complex patterns appeared in her palm.

It was a silent symphony, and the power of the five elements was under her control, like notes jumping along the staff. Jiaojiao spontaneously had a simple comprehension in her heart, and as this comprehension deepened, she felt as if she could really manipulate the basic laws of this world.

The thin threads of the Heavenly Dao were constantly woven in her hands, and finally formed a small crystallization of laws. These crystals have a subtle sheen, and each one contains a powerful and pure power. Jiaojiao knew that these law crystals could be used to strengthen herself, or to assist her in healing, and could even be used to refine elixirs or make talismans, which were versatile and magical.

As time passed, Jiaojiao's understanding of the laws of heaven became deeper and deeper, and her cultivation was steadily improving. Now, her cultivation has reached the highest level of the Cave Xuan Heart Method, the Great Perfection level! Jiaojiao herself, but she has always maintained a humble and inquisitive heart, she knows that the way of heaven is infinite, and her own path of exploration has just begun. In the days to come, she will continue to use her wisdom and ability to uncover more mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and at the same time bring more hope to this world.
