Chapter 317 Spiritual Test
Although the fertility of the Spirit people is very low, after a thousand years, the population of the Spirit has reached hundreds of thousands, and during this time, the successive patriarchs of the Spirit Race have constantly ordered the expansion of the territory, the establishment of villages and cities, and the living environment of the people in a comfortable environment.
By the time of the 1300 years of the Spirit Clan, the Spirit Clan already had five large cities that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, ten small cities that could accommodate seven or eight thousand people, and countless small towns and villages, and the scale was already quite huge. The growing Elves already have the capital to build a nation, and can no longer be compared to those tribes with few resources and scarce wealth.
The abundance of natural resources, the industriousness and wisdom of the people, all of which allow them to be self-sufficient, even if they do not interact with the outside world, the spirit race can continue forever.
In the year 1500, the twenty-fifth patriarch Elise made a very bold decision, believing that the continued existence of the Elves in this way was not conducive to further development, and that in order for the Elves to flourish like other races in the world, they had to imitate their system.
Establish a nation, increase the prestige of the spirit race in the world, and then open the doors to welcome visitors, and actively interact with other races. On the one hand, you can learn from each other's strengths and make up for your own shortcomings, so that the development of the spirit clan has entered a new stage, and on the other hand, you can also increase the wealth of the clan through transactions with foreign merchants, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Elise consulted widely about her people's opinions, but heard little opposition, and for the sake of the future of the Spirits, almost everyone expressed support for this major reform, expressing confidence in Elise's leadership. Elise then established the Kingdom of the Spirits and became the first queen of the Kingdom of the Spirits, leading her people into a new era, which is also known as the first year of the Spirits.
In the following years, the Spirit people began to interact frequently with the three major races in the world at that time, witches, demons, and demons, absorbing the outstanding technology and culture of these races, and integrating them into their own civilization in an inclusive way, developing rapidly and without stopping.
The jade, herbs, livestock, and even water sources produced by the Spirit Race are all sought after by merchants of all races, and are almost in short supply, and the wealth of the Spirit Kingdom continues to grow at a rate visible to the naked eye, accumulating more and more, and gradually there is a trend of surpassing other countries in the world.
In the 125th year of the Imperial Spirit, the national strength of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom is enough to be called the four great powers in the world with the blood hunt of the Wu Clan, the shadow of the Demon Clan, and the Qingqiu of the Demon Clan. At that time, the Tang Dynasty, which was known as the only powerful country in the world in later generations, had not yet been established, and the power of the human race was also insignificant at that time.
Although the power of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom has grown rapidly, it has only reached the level of being on par with the other three major countries, and although it has attracted a lot of attention, it will not make the eyes of the leaders of these three countries stay on it.
Because of the respect for women as kings, the Kingdom of the Imperial Spirit has always maintained a very friendly attitude towards exchanges with other races, and even if there are differences and frictions in the process of exchange, they will be resolved in the most gentle and restrained way, and there has never been a conflict with any country.
This style made the three great powers lower their fear of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom, and they always selectively forgot about it when the great powers were playing with each other. As a result, although there is constant friction between the three kingdoms of Blood Hunt, Shadow, and Qingqiu, sometimes even
Soldiers fought against each other, but they never affected the Imperial Spirit Kingdom that was almost the same size as them.
Even the most belligerent king of the Bloodhunt Nation at the time had said such things.
"Although the national strength of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom is extraordinary, it has not trained any soldiers who can fight on the battlefield, and I am afraid that even some little-known small countries have enough ability to capture the Imperial Spirit Kingdom. The kings of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom are all some female streamers, with weak personalities, and it is difficult to achieve great things.
Although the Spirit Kingdom has some of the best natural resources in the world, they never hide their secrets, allowing us to send merchants to buy them at the lowest price. In this way, the Imperial Spirit Kingdom will not pose the slightest threat to our Blood Hunting Country, so why should we lock our eyes on them? That would undoubtedly be a waste of precious time. Phantom Shadow and Qingqiu are all the henchmen of my Blood Hunting Country, but this Imperial Spirit Kingdom can't enter my eyes. ”
This argument has persisted in the world for hundreds of years, and nothing has changed. However, the Imperial Spirit Kingdom is still developing quietly, and before you know it, the land has occupied nearly half of the land in Beiju Luzhou, as if it has become a behemoth.
Because there is no interference from any external forces, the development speed of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom has never slowed down, and the national strength has been rising all the time, and it has never stopped for a moment. Words such as "Taoguang and Obscurity" and "Sullen Voice" are used to describe the road to prosperity in the Imperial Spirit Kingdom.
In the 538th year of the Imperial Spirit, the wealth accumulated by the treasury of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom was already equivalent to the combined treasury of Qingqiu and the Shadow Treasury, and even compared with the most powerful Blood Hunting Kingdom at that time, it was more than half. If you only count resources and wealth, the Imperial Spirit Kingdom is already the veritable number one country in the world at that time, and there is no dispute.
But this alone will not attract the attention of others, and the real vigilance of other countries will start with the events that happened in a certain year.
In the year 560 of the Imperial Spirit, there was another genius who shocked the world, her name was Charlotte, and she was the fifth Spirit Clan monk to successfully reach the immortal level after Michelle, but this achievement alone could not make her famous in the world.
Charlotte's reason for making the Spirit Kingdom a powerful force that everyone fears is because of an attempt she decided to carry out in a flash of inspiration, perhaps just out of the curiosity of a young girl, but this experiment became a turning point in the fate of the Spirit Race.
Although the final consequences of this turn of events were deplorable, at least at the time, it was a major contribution that affected the entire nation and the entire race.
Charlotte has a pet cat, named Lulu, who is a black cat with pure blood and no different hair on his body. Charlotte has been raising this black cat since she was a child, living with it every day, day after day, year after year, this black cat has gradually become Charlotte's emotional sustenance. Charlotte felt that the black cat had become her family, so she cared for and loved it.
But there is one thing that Charlotte has always been very troubled by, that is, this black cat that she has been raising with all her heart is not obedient at all, not only is her obedience extremely low, but her intimacy with her owner is far less than that of ordinary pets.
This black cat often "runs away from home" when Charlotte is not looking, traveling alone to unfamiliar places, almost every
Once when Charlotte returned home from business, she would find that the black cat was gone.
When this happens, Charlotte will always fall into a state of restlessness and look everywhere for the whereabouts of the black cat. Although the black cat easily found its way home every time and never really got lost once, this frequent occurrence still left Charlotte exhausted.
"Why Lulu has been so disobedient all the time, it's not normal at all. My Lulu, the legendary purebred black cat, whose lifespan and spirituality are very different from those of ordinary cats, has been with me for more than 100 years, but she has always been in good health and has never shown signs of weakness.
Why does a civet cat with this constitution not know how to communicate with its owner? I have tried to communicate with it countless times, but the results have been disappointing, as if I can't open the door of its heart, even though we have lived together for so long, can it still not fully trust me?
No, I have to find a way to communicate with it. Otherwise, I will definitely get sick from it, and I must not put all my energy into looking for Lulu in the future. ”
When Charlotte thought of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and some strange thoughts came to her.
"I've read from some literature that it says that many animals with strong spirits show an unenlightened appearance because of their weak shells, and they need special stimulation to return to their original appearance. Could it be that my Lulu is one of those 'spirit animals'?
If so, I have a brilliant solution. As a necessary aid to the cultivation of my spirit race, the 'Liberation Spirit Jade' has a magical ability that amazes the world. However, what is circulating in the world is only the first ability of the spirit jade, and the power of the spell increases. But for us, the most important ability is actually the second one.
The spirit jade can be used as a medium to neutralize the power of the five elements and inject it into the meridians, so that the elements after being neutralized are no longer violent, and can be combined with the spiritual power in the body, thus transforming the body form, which is the process of performing the 'Transformation Technique'. This process has some impact on the meridians, but it is not very serious, and it may be the best stimulation for Lulu. ”
Charlotte looked down in contemplation, thinking about the best way to use the 'Spirit Jade'.
After a few moments, Charlotte finally had a complete plan.
"The process is actually very simple, as long as I inject some milder water elements into the spirit jade, use the power of the jade to erase the sharp points in the element, and then use my own spiritual power to inject those elements into Lulu's body, and see if it will produce any magical effects.
The amount of water injected into Lulu's body should not be too much or too little, if it is too much, it will definitely hurt Lulu's body, and if it is too little, it may not be able to play its due role. How much should I use?
When I usually use the 'Transformation Technique', I need to absorb hundreds of dark elements at a time, and even this cannot cause any damage to my body. But Lulu is noticeably weaker than me... In this case, try it with ten first, this amount will definitely not cause trauma to Lulu's meridians. If the effect isn't noticeable, and you don't see any negative effects, it's not too late to consider injecting more elements. ”
