Section 170 Moral issues

To be honest, Xin Yu is not the kind of elite talent who can handle complicated things properly. In his previous life, although driven by interest, Xin Yu had read some books on management, and in this life, he had also experienced the creation of the Ocean Country from scratch.

But it was not him who dealt with practical things, but his father Xin Daqiang. Speaking of which, although Xin Daqiang came from a relatively humble background, he didn't even know how to read and count at least. However, in the process of taking advantage of the Chen family's need to build sea ships, Xin Yu pushed his father into a leadership position, and in practice, he became more and more shrewd by contacting the fragmentary management knowledge taught by Xin Yu.

It was also at that time that Xin Daqiang learned some basic culture, so that he would not be illiterate at all times when he established the Ocean Country. In the course of the rapid development of the maritime country for more than ten years, Xin Daqiang may not have cultivated any superb statecraft and long-term development strategy because of his vision, but in terms of management practice, he is much more powerful than Xin Yu, who is only in charge of "macroeconomic control".

It is because Xin Daqiang has a strong "execution ability" that Xin Yu rarely interferes in the management of specific things in the Ocean Country...... Unless it is inconvenient for Xin Daqiang, who is a "mortal", to intervene in the astral realm, he has to take action "personally".

However, although Xin Yu seems to have the opportunity to "practice", because he has always had the habit of cultivating the secretary group, in fact, he only knows how to "give orders".

In the process of dealing with post-disaster rescue and reconstruction, Xin Yu still maintained his style of "ignoring mundane things...... Although Xin Yu also has his own considerations, intervening in the management of the country as the crown prince is too showy on the one hand, which will weaken the prestige and presence of Xin Daqiang, the king, and it seems a bit overstepping. On the other hand, he felt that after he gave the "plan", there should be nothing that he needed to do himself.

Although the territory of the Ocean Country is very small, as small as a small province in Huaxia in Xin Yu's previous life, if Xin Yu is allowed to plan his development strategy at a macro level or guide him from that height, he may still be competent, and he can copy the experience of his previous life according to the gourd, it should be said that he can still plan very well. However, if he is asked to be the "commander-in-chief" and transfer personnel and materials, he will not have that ability...... It's not that Xin Yu really can't do it, but such a cumbersome thing has never been his business.

In this life, because he has devoted most of his time to cultivation, and he is only guiding the development of the Ocean Country as a "bystander", although he may be able to do it if he calms down, his efficiency is definitely not as high as that of a professional.

Therefore, after completing the problems that need to be paid attention to in the post-disaster reconstruction and the plan for the entire post-disaster rescue and reconstruction work, Xin Yu returned to the role of "hands-off shopkeeper". Because of the disaster relief manual summarized by the "tempering" in the previous life, as well as the construction experience accumulated by the Ocean Country over the years, there really is not much that Xin Yu needs to intervene in...... Maybe after he intervenes, it is likely that there will be some "unhelpful" situations.

However, although this tsunami was a natural disaster and not caused by Xin Yu, because of this disaster, Xin Yu truly integrated into this world, which made him unconsciously have the idea of doing something for the people of the Ocean Country.

"Brother Aman, didn't you say that you just need to supervise all links, but how are you so busy during this time?"

Speaking of which, since Xin Yu and Lan Keer got married, they didn't really get tired of spending much time together, and since they got married for less than a year, Xin Yu spent most of the time in practice. But Lan Keer didn't feel that she was "snubbed" because her husband was often in retreat.

The reason is very simple, because in the astral world, retreat and practice are the norm, and Lan Ke'er was "locked up" in the "cave" of the main peak of the Tianshan Mountains, but for more than ten years. She was used to the situation where the astrologist retreated when he couldn't move, and Xin Yu had to study the Golden Body of the Law, so a retreat would take a few months, which seemed normal to her. And as an astrologist, Lan Ke'er himself also needs to retreat.

Although Xin Yu "invented" a lot of auxiliary pills, the existence of such a condensing pill, which is basically a "plug-in" item for an astromagician, can shorten the time and energy spent by an astrologist in accumulating spiritual power. However, astral cultivation is not something that can be done with enough spiritual power...... It can be said that it is impossible for any practice to focus on the improvement of only one ability.

Although the astral cultivation is what Xin Yu has seen, the power and complexity are not "commensurate" with the cultivation mode. However, it is not possible to obtain the improvement of the realm as long as you improve your spiritual power. It can only be said that because of the "experience" of the predecessors, as long as the spiritual power reaches the standard, it is easy to follow the method of inheritance, and there is no need to take too much initiative to "realize", and you can reach a certain height.

To be honest, even the seemingly simple cultivation of astrology requires a certain amount of "effort" and "thinking". Therefore, just by relying on the effect of the Divine Concentration Pill, it cannot really replace the cultivation of the star magician. Moreover, the spiritual power generated by the Condensing Pill itself is not the same thing as the spiritual power of the astrologist himself, because it is not obtained by the "visualization" or "meditation" cultivation of the astrologist himself, and it still needs to be transformed in the process of cultivation.

In addition, to put it mildly, it is very objective to evaluate, because the quality of the Ning Shen Pill can only belong to the intermediate pill at most, if it is strictly divided, Xin Yu ...... To be precise, the condensing pill recipe and refining method that Xin Yu's alchemy "disciples" have explored can only be in the ranks of low-grade pills.

It's just that because of the effect of the Divine Pill, especially for the star magician, it is very "powerful", so it will be sought after as a "miracle medicine" by the astral world. But in fact, after all, the effect of the Condensing Pill is not up to the title of the ultimate elixir, and even because it inevitably contains so many erysipelas impurities, the effect on the astronomers is actually not as good as the astronomers imagined.

Therefore, although Lan Ke'er has the assistance of the Divine Condensing Pill, in addition, compared to other star magicians, she has a treasure that can be called a god's sense, purifying her spiritual power. However, including the transformation of spiritual power into energy that can be controlled by oneself, and the need to learn every detail of the astral practice, Lan Ke'er still has to go into retreat from time to time.

Because of this, Lan Ke'er had no opinion on Xin Yu's retreat. However, Xin Yu's dedication to dealing with "worldly" things made her feel a little incomprehensible.

Although in the previous time, Xin Yu himself had been serving as the prince of this ocean country, which made the entire astral world feel that he was an "outlier", and Xin Yu really "built" a sea country that was completely different from all the countries in this world, which also made many astrowizards feel that he was very "not doing his job".

Before Lan Keer combined with Xin Yu, she naturally knew that Xin Yu was not a person who dedicated his "life" to the "cause" of astrology. However, no matter what, Xin Yu's age is there, just a little bit in his early twenties, he can have the strength comparable to that of a star magician in the galaxy realm, no matter how high Xin Yu's talent is, he will not be like now, for a whole month, he has not practiced "properly".

It is said that God rewards hard work, although there is no such idiom in this world, but the basic principle is the same. Without hard work and dedication, how could it be rewarded? Xin Yu's own achievements could not have been given to him because Heavenly Dao favored him.

So like now, Xin Yu's whole person is devoted to worldly things, not only does not accompany his newlywed wife, but also does not work hard to practice, which is fundamentally against the "considerable law". Therefore, Lan Ke'er wondered why he was so "distracted" and invested so much time or even all his energy during this time in things that had nothing to do with his cultivation.

Xin Yu had no way to answer this question. Although he is not sure whether he will encounter the so-called "inner demons" in his astrological practice, he knows that in Taoist practice, the "purity" of the moral realm and thoughts is sometimes very important, and even related to the ultimate state of cultivation.

However, Xin Yu had never heard of it in this world, and there would be astromagicians who had problems because of "psychological shadows", even the well-informed Xiaoshi had never heard of such a situation. Maybe the astrology has done a better job of psychological construction...... They all regard ordinary humans as another "species", and naturally they will not have thoughts such as "self-blame" because of mortal factors.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the astrologist himself has built his heart to be "strong" because of his "focus...... Anyway, based on Xin Yu's "experience", he had never heard of the "inner demons" produced in the cultivation of astrology, let alone that astromagicians would go crazy because of the "inner demons".

However, in fact, any practice will be entangled by "inner demons". It's just the astrologist of this world...... Including the astromagicians in the entire universe, and even the sage-level powers, they are actually only very "low-level" monks.

The reason why they are said to be inferior is not because of the poor power of astrological cultivation, but because when they reach the "final" stage of cultivation, that is, at a higher stage, they do not pay attention to the sublimation of morality, which is the spiritual realm, and the obstacles they face in their cultivation will become more serious...... Although almost all astrowizards are unaware of this problem, it does exist.

Think about it, the entire universe has been around for trillions of years since its inception. And the astral civilization was born and developed to the present day, according to Xiao Shi's thoughts, it has been hundreds of billions of years ago. For such a long time, even a "saint" ...... Note that it is not the so-called sage of the astromagician, but the sage who can perceive all the laws and create a rough world of ** in this world...... The fact that such a power was not born is a very strange thing in itself.

If it is said that the realm of a saint may be very high, even in the cultivation realm of Xin Yu's previous life, it is also at the level of legends. But what about "Da Luo Jin Xian" and "Mixed Yuan Da Luo Jin Xian"? Although Xin Yu did not add such a ...... in his previous life Mythical-level figures, but in many rigorous cultivation classics, such powerful beings do exist, at least the old Chinese medicine is unswerving.

It may not be possible to show the "low-level" nature of astral cultivation in this comparison, but in Xiao Shi's soul memory, there is no power beyond the level of a saint in the entire universe...... There may have been, but no one ever knew about it...... In other words, there is a limit to the cultivation of astral arts.

Then, a kind of cultivation that has no possibility of ascending must be due to some flaw, or some problem that hinders the upward space of astral cultivation...... After the law of the soul, although it is very difficult to break through such a "routine", there has never been a shortage of people with great perseverance, great perseverance, great ability and courage among the astral magicians, why has there been no sage breakthrough for so many years?

In Xin Yu's mind, the reason is nothing more than that "morality" is not enough. Perhaps the spiritual realm is a little vague, and the morality is a bit general. In other words, it is actually a torture of the monk's own soul...... Some demon cultivators think that killing is justified, so in their thinking and cognition, they list killing as "normal", so it is not like ordinary people think, morality is the aspect of showing goodness.

It should be said that the way to avoid the occurrence of demons in the mind is to "have a clear conscience" or "no regrets", to truly live out the "self", to be able to fully recognize one's "self", and to reach a higher level of cultivation.

The astrologers of this world have no such concerns...... It looks beautiful, but in fact, the inner demon or the torture of one's own soul is not a bad thing in itself. Because the Heavenly Dao itself has no consciousness, there is no standard for judging "punishing evil and promoting good", but if a monk cannot recognize the "individual", how can he understand the whole world?

It's like those astral magicians who have reached the level of a saint, because they haven't experienced torture on themselves, so the Heavenly Dao of this world can't recognize his achievements...... When entering a higher realm, the monk will communicate with the outside world more and more frequently, and if he cannot form a "communication" with the Heavenly Dao, he will naturally not have the opportunity to reach a higher level.

And Taoist practice starts at a certain stage...... Specifically, at the beginning of the stage of refining qi and transforming gods, it is necessary to carry out "material exchange" with the outside world, so it has become a norm to subconsciously torture one's own mind
