Chapter 131 Daxia
This uprising originated from Guangyue.
It has been less than a year.
Zhao Zhenguo, Ye Biqing, Song Zhibai and other senior figures of the Great Xia Society personally led the rebel army into the capital.
The Daxia Council officially announced the demise of the Dajing court, and at the same time established a provisional government and promulgated transitional laws to ensure the normal operation of social order.
People's lives go on as usual.
Various shops are operating as usual.
The rebel army had strict discipline and only detained or controlled high-ranking officials of the Jing Dynasty, while the lives of ordinary people were not affected in the slightest.
After the situation was stabilized.
Zhao Zhenguo and other senior members of the Daxia Club visited Yu Xiao as soon as possible.
"Sir, you have saved the country from collapse and helped it recover. This feat has not only saved millions of ordinary people, but also created a new life for China and rekindled hope. Please accept our greetings!"
Zhao Zhenguo, Ye Biqing, Song Zhibai, Mu Guihong, Li Chun and others all saluted.
Yu Xiao accepted the worship.
"The poison left by Jing Ting is very deep, and it is not so easy to remove it. The challenges you will face in the future are still arduous. I hope you will keep in mind the ideals and mission of the Great Xia Association and never forget your original intention!"
He said calmly: "I don't want to see a second Emperor Qian, and I don't want a second Jing Dynasty to appear!"
The change of dynasties is inevitably accompanied by chaos.
In the future, the old and young men of the Jingting court will surely try to restore the monarchy, the provincial governors and military figures will inevitably raise troops to establish their own regimes, bandits and warlords will be rampant in various places, and foreign enemies will wait for opportunities to interfere and invade.
The major aristocratic families, prominent families, wealthy families, etc., these rentier classes in the old era, would never obediently give up their vested interests.
How to deal with it involves various compromises and trade-offs, and cannot be resolved by force alone.
One size fits all.
All the people were killed.
If you offend all the elites.
Who will manage and develop this situation which is riddled with problems and in need of reconstruction?
But if it is not possible to take back the land and interests and redistribute them, but instead choose to compromise with the major wealthy and powerful families, then what difference will it make to build another Jingting?
Daxia is not currently favored by the great powers, and there is no future in closing the country to the outside world in this era.
There are no advanced equipment, technology or talents.
It would be impossible to keep up with the times.
How to restore diplomacy and repair international relations also requires a lot of wisdom and mediation.
This is just a small part.
The various complex internal and external challenges have just begun.
In addition, when Daxia founded a new dynasty and became the ruling class, with huge power and interests, how to avoid internal strife and how to deal with corruption and alienation were very realistic problems.
Are there many dragon slayers throughout history, both in China and abroad, who have turned into evil dragons?
With Yu Xiao's current reputation, status, and personal strength, he can completely forcibly lead the Daxia Association and then manage the country.
But not necessary.
He had no interest in worldly power.
Yu Xiao does not think he has the talent to govern a country.
This kind of thing should be left to professionals. Now that his reputation has reached its peak, no matter what earth-shattering things he does, this world will not gain any more luck.
Zhao Zhenguo and others heard Mr. Yu's warning.
This person who is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not like to fight for power is a true hermit.
But if one day, this group of people degenerates, Da Xia will decay, and this master who has not appeared for thousands of years may come out again at any time.
Zhao Zhenguo: "We will remember the kindness and teachings of the master. Daxia will adhere to its mission and original intention, open up new paths for talents, work hard to govern, benevolently govern the people, make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the country prosperous. We will never let the master down!"
Yu Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Because he plans to stay here for a while.
On the one hand, he helped people to the end. With him in charge of the capital, even if he did nothing, he would not mind intimidating the villains from all sides, making the transition of Daxia more stable.
On the one hand, the effect of the Jiuzhou Spirit Transformation Array built by Xuan Ce in the Forbidden City is still there.
At present, this should be the most suitable place in the world for cultivation.
Although it is still not as good as the mundane places in the world of immortal cultivation.
But it is extremely rare in this world.
Yu Xiao also had a large number of Lingcao pills and Baicao pills made from hundreds of years old spiritual herbs, as well as Lingshen pills made from 1,800 years old spiritual herbs.
These resources are enough for cultivation.
When they learned that Yu Xiao planned to stay in charge for a while, Zhao Zhenguo and others were naturally excited.
Daxia will announce it immediately.
The boundary is the Qianqing Gate inside the imperial palace.
The area south of Qianqing Gate was set up as Daxia's temporary office area, while the inner court, harem and imperial garden north of Qianqing Gate became Yu Xiao's residence.
Some of Yu Xiao's assistants, subordinates, attendants and several disciples were soon brought from Guangyue to the capital.
Next.
a period of time.
Yu Xiao kept a very low profile and no longer appeared in public. While studying the Jiuli Sutra and practicing the Jiuli Incarnation Secret Technique with all his strength, he also refined the medicinal materials he had obtained into pills for practice.
After solving the goal of Emperor Qian.
There are now two new goals.
The first goal, of course, is to cultivate to the great perfection of Qi Refining as soon as possible, so that you can prepare for the impact of Foundation Establishment.
The second goal is to cultivate to the realm of heavenly martial arts, because according to the hint given by the stone tablet, this is a necessary condition for opening the second portal.
Two goals.
Essentially the same.
However, there is not enough blood and energy to practice the elixir.
Therefore, the training during this period focused on the breakthrough of Aoki Ko.
Make use of the Jiuzhou Spiritual Transformation Array.
Make use of the elixir resources in your hands.
Yu Xiao soon reached a bottleneck, and then he secluded himself in the imperial garden of the palace for a period of time, consuming two high-quality spiritual ginseng pills.
Everything will fall into place.
Breakthrough successful.
It took less than four months.
His cultivation reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Yu Xiao continued to practice, continued to refine the Jiuzhou Ding, continued to study the Jiuli incarnation secret technique, and lived a low-key life every day.
this day.
Complete the practice as always.
Yu Xiao calculated the time and found that he had been in the palace for almost a year.
There is still no progress in the refining of the Jiuzhou Ding. Now it is certain that the ordinary refining method of magic tools cannot be used to refine this special magic tool.
I can only go back to the sect and find a way to refine it.
The practice of Jiuli's secret art of incarnation has achieved some results.
Although he has not yet reached the level of thorough comprehension, he can already establish a connection with Chi You's Dharma body.
This is a good start. Although this method is difficult to practice, it is just a matter of time as long as you are willing to work hard to fully understand it and be able to use it freely.
At this time.
There was a sound of gun salute.
Coming from the direction of the South Square, there was the sound of gongs and drums, and thunderous cheers.
Yu Xiao knew.
Today is a special day.
The Great Xia Kingdom officially announced its country name!
After entering the capital, the Daxia Association spent nearly a year to successively defeat more than a dozen separatist forces of varying sizes in several regions.
Although there are still forces ready to make moves, the general situation has stabilized and the time has come to formally establish the country.
Daxia will fulfill its original intention and abolish the imperial system. It will absorb the advantages of the East and the West and create the first non-imperial country in this land in thousands of years.
So far!
Dajing Kingdom has become history!
The Great Xia Kingdom was born as a brand new country, and it took only two years from the beginning of the uprising to the completion of the founding of the country, which was quite fast!
Zhao Zhenguo originally invited Yu Xiao to attend the founding ceremony, but Yu Xiao refused because he had no interest in joining in the fun.
however.
Even so.
Zhao Zhenguo still announced.
Daxia will honor Yu Xiao as the Martial Saint to honor his achievements.
The Martial Saint of the Nation is qualified to monitor the highest management personnel of the Daxia Association.
Zhao Zhenguo is actively putting a tight ring around himself and hanging a sword of Damocles over the head of the new ruling class.
This can serve as a warning to ourselves, others, and even the next generation of leaders to never forget the original intention of the Daxia Association.
"Finally, a new day has come!"
Although Yu Xiao doesn't like to be in the spotlight, he still feels a sense of accomplishment after making this happen.
The Daxia Association has indeed implemented the basic concepts in its slogans. Although there are many differences between this country and the country in the previous life, there are also many similarities. Moreover, the new dynasty came at least thirty or forty years earlier, so there is more time and opportunities for development.
of course.
There are still many difficulties.
Although the speed of overthrowing the big picture is fast enough to minimize the pain of changing dynasties, the current stage is still a state of poverty and weakness.
Dajing’s mess is too big.
The legacy cannot be eradicated in a short period of time.
There are still large opium plantations and tens of millions of opium smokers across the country.
Also, because Dajing completely missed the wave of industrialization, when the current Xin Dynasty was first established, its development foundation lagged far behind that of the great powers.
This cannot be changed in a short period of time.
Because no one can create a network of roads and railways across the country overnight, no one can make the illiterate people in the country read and write and learn technology overnight, or make smokers give up their opium and go into farmland and factories.
There is no advanced education system, no complete industrial system, and not enough intellectuals and technical talents.
At a time when the national treasury is empty and the world is in turmoil, forces represented by Japan may launch an invasion at any time.
Want to change.
It will take at least two generations of effort.
Yu Xiao had no way to forcibly change this short-term status quo and historical process, nor did he want to intervene since he was not involved in state affairs.
A newborn country will inevitably face all kinds of very difficult difficulties, but it is precisely because of these difficulties that it can truly become a great country.
If you can't even overcome these difficulties.
It only means that the people in Daxia Association are not qualified to shoulder this destiny.
Things here.
Let’s stop here for now.
Yu Xiao came to the world of immortal cultivation through the double door.
This operation, from the assassination of Emperor Qian to the official founding of Da Xia, lasted a little over a year. Because there was less travel between the two worlds, less than a week had passed in the immortal cultivation world.
【Luck-98! 】
When the Chiyou Demon Puppet is sent to Xiaozhu Valley.
Yu Xiao clearly felt that a large part of his luck had been cut.
This wave of consumption is quite severe... However, considering that although the Chiyou Demon Puppet has no soul, spirit, or thoughts, it is a living being and has strength comparable to or even surpassing that of a Qi Refining Great Perfection.
It consumes more.
It's normal.
Although the expenditure is very high, it is actually very cost-effective, because once the Chiyou Demon Puppet is cultivated into Chiyou's Dharma Body, its potential is very high and its value is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary magic weapons.
As for luck?
There is actually no shortage of it now.
Not to mention that the Daxia world can generate 15 luck every year. It will take a long time just to transform merits into luck.
Return to Xiaozhu Valley.
Rest for three days first.
Yu Xiao immediately came out and announced a breakthrough.
The purpose of this retreat was to reach the fifth level of Qi training, and he had already reached it several times before. It was a natural result at this moment. "Congratulations, Senior Brother Yu!"
"Brother Yu has already broken through to the fifth level of Qi training before he is forty years old. His future is limitless!"
"Brother Yu, I heard you made a breakthrough!"
"Good! This is really great!"
"..."
When Yu Xiao announced that he had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.
The outer disciples of Xiaozhu Valley, acquaintances from the Medicine Refining Pavilion, and acquaintances such as Luo Xiaoshan all came to celebrate.
Yu Xiao’s real age is over 40.
However, in the world of immortal cultivation, it is only around thirty-seven.
Having reached the fifth level of Qi training at this age, he is definitely a leader among casual cultivators, but he is not considered a genius in Qinglan Valley.
Although he is not a genius, he is at an upper-middle level, and with his status as a quasi-senior alchemist, he is enough to gain enough respect.
No one knew that this disciple of Qinglan Valley, who seemed to be doing well but not very eye-catching, was now a cultivator at the peak of Inner Gang and the late eighth level of Qi Refining!
Ordinary disciples have no way of committing fraud.
His strength is enough to sweep away most of the true teachings.
After Yu Xiao spent a few days socializing, his life returned to normal.
The spirit stones and merits have been basically used up, and one must earn spirit stones and merits in exchange for the sect's classics and materials in order to study the method of refining the Nine Cauldrons and to refine the Golden Ginseng Pill.
This is the main purpose of coming back this time.
The materials for refining the Golden Ginseng Pill are a first-grade top-quality spiritual ginseng as the main material, and six kinds of herbs as auxiliary materials.
The ancient ginseng that has grown for three thousand years in the environment of the Daxia world is roughly equivalent to a first-grade top-quality spiritual ginseng in the world of immortal cultivation.
There is no substitute for the six auxiliary herbs, Daxia.
However, it is not a scarce resource and can be easily exchanged in the sect.
Yu Xiao continued to practice the Jiuli incarnation secret method while studying the method of refining the Golden Ginseng Pill in the "Medicine King Pill Classic". He used his spare time to run the Qingyang Pill Shop in Yunxi Town and accept missions from the pill shop.
A blink of an eye.
Seven months have passed.
The secret art of Jiuli's incarnation has made further progress.
Although he has not yet fully mastered the incarnation, he can already control Chi You's Dharma body to walk, sit or lie down.
Still a little bit short of heat!
The secret art of incarnation is indeed difficult to practice.
Even getting started is so difficult.
Fortunately, Yu Xiao felt the growth of the progress bar. Even if the growth rate was very slow, it would not be a big deal as long as he could practice to be slower.
Think from another angle.
This is because the secret technique is extremely difficult to practice.
That makes it more meaningful.
Things that everyone can easily obtain are not valuable. The value lies in what others do not have, which can enhance Yu Xiao's foundation and strength.
During this period.
Yu Xiao passed the work and tasks.
A total of 1245 spirit stones and 7 sect-level contribution orders were obtained.
First, use 500 spirit stones and 1 merit token to exchange eight sets of auxiliary materials for Golden Ginseng Pill from the sect's treasury.
He also exchanged 600 spirit stones and 4 merit tokens for a volume of "Xuanhuozi's Record of Weapons" from the sect's scripture library.
This book is one of the classic works compiled by a famous weapon refining master named Xuan Huozi.
It includes Xuan Huozi's experience in refining weapons.
It also includes hundreds of different types of magical instruments.
Xuan Huozi described in detail the functional characteristics, applications, and ritual techniques of these magical instruments.
Equipment refiners can improve their equipment refining skills by reading this book, and ordinary cultivators can learn more about the characteristics of magical instruments by reading this book. They can not only know themselves and the enemy in actual combat, but also be more adept and avoid detours when refining magical instruments.
Xuan Huozi is indeed a third-rank weapon refiner who is able to refine golden elixir magic weapons.
This person's understanding of magical instruments is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The price of redeeming this book is not cheap.
But it's worth the money.
"No wonder I can't refine the Nine Cauldrons. The Nine Cauldrons are semi-innate spiritual treasures. It's useless to refine them with ordinary rituals even if I refine them for a thousand years."
What is innate?
The innateness referred to here.
A more accurate term is innate.
The Nine Cauldrons were not made by a weapon refiner.
Its gestation and casting process lasted nearly five thousand years!
During these thousands of years, no weapon refiner has ever carved it. It has been refined naturally using the power of heaven and earth and the fortune of the dynasty, and has been completely bound to the land of Kyushu.
This kind of spiritual treasure.
Want to successfully refine it.
It is necessary to temporarily cut off the connection with the natural environment.
In other words, Yu Xiao had to take it out of Daxia so that it would be possible to refine it.
“So that’s how it is!” Yu Xiao suddenly realized: “If I continue to stay in the Forbidden City, even if I spend another hundred or thousand years, I may not be able to refine the Nine Cauldrons. The only way is to move it abroad or to the world of immortal cultivation.”
First rule out moving to the world of immortal cultivation.
It is not the right time yet. It is not a matter of luck consumption, but the energy contained in the Nine Cauldrons is too strong. If it is rashly sent from an environment with thin spiritual energy to a place like the world of immortal cultivation, it may cause strange phenomena.
What if the Nine Cauldrons descend?
Various strange phenomena in heaven and earth broke out.
Wouldn't that bring you into big trouble?
Yu Xiao thought about it and decided that the best way would be to put the Nine Cauldrons in the ancient palace or take them out of Daxia and find an overseas country to refine them. As long as the Nine Cauldrons were completely refined, there wouldn't be so many concerns.
Just as Yu Xiao was researching.
He was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that the Ghost Market token in his hand suddenly lit up, which meant that the Ghost Market was about to open again!
"very good!"
Yu Xiao was cheered up when he saw the information. From the information provided by the Ghost Market Token, the location of this Ghost Market was four thousand miles away, and the time was ten days later.
Although a bit far.
But you must participate.
Yu Xiao has ten Wan Yin Blood Pearls in his hand.
Prepare to exchange it for blood crystal in the ghost market.
If one has the help of thirty Blood Yang Pills, one can directly reach the realm of heavenly being in martial arts!
this means.
It won't be long.
The second double door can be opened.
Yu Xiao immediately made preparations to participate in the ghost market again.
Since he was going to the ghost market, he couldn't help but buy some other good things. For this purpose, he sold twenty Lingshen Pills and realized a total of about six thousand spirit stones.
almost.
It should be barely enough to spend.
There are three days left before the ghost market opens.
And at this moment, a figure descended into Xiaozhu Valley.
It was Huang Zeyou, the deacon of Qingyang Danfang.
Huang Zeyou said with a smile on his face: "Brother, happy news, great happy news, the golden ginseng pill you refined a few days ago won the first place in the Jiuyang Mountain Alchemy Competition."
So that's why I came here.
Yu Xiao used eight ingredients to successfully refine six Golden Ginseng Pills, one of which was refined in public at the alchemy workshop to participate in the Jiuyang Mountain Alchemy Competition.
This kind of internal competition has no requirements for the types of elixirs to be refined. After all, every alchemist is good at refining different elixirs.
Just take out the best elixir that you have made yourself.
You can participate in the competition.
Yu Xiao's alchemy skills are certainly not as good as those of the true masters or the senior stewards of the Alchemy Pavilion, but he is definitely outstanding among the young and middle-aged disciples.
The effect of Golden Ginseng Pill is 50% higher than that of Top Grade Spiritual Ginseng Pill, but the difficulty of refining it is one or two times higher.
Yu Xiao not only refined the elixir.
Moreover, the appearance of the pill is very good.
This was naturally enough to instantly defeat other young alchemists and win first place in this internal alchemy competition.
Yu Xiao therefore gained the attention of his master.
Huang Zeyou was conveying Jiang Changqing's summons at this moment, when he learned that the alchemy elder wanted to see him.
Yu Xiao did not dare to neglect.
Come to Jiuyang Mountain as soon as possible.
Then I met Jiang Changqing in the hall.
"Disciple Yu Xiao, hello to Master!"
Yu Xiaojia had been in the Medicine Refining Pavilion for many years. This was the first time he met Jiang Changqing alone and he bowed to him immediately.
Jiang Changqing took a quick look and commented: "He is less than 40 years old, has reached the fifth level of Qi training, and has already become a high-level alchemist. Not bad."
Yu Xiao had already mastered the art of concealing his breath, and he had taken a breath-concealing pill in advance. Even the Yinmu mask he carried with him had the ability to weaken his spiritual perception.
Hence face to face.
Jiang Changqing also couldn't see Yu Xiao's true strength, and Yu Xiao currently only showed the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi training.
"You will be given five days to prepare. All other work will be suspended. Just stay by my side and practice for the next few months."
"Yes!"
Yu Xiao showed a look of delight.
Even if it was just doing odd jobs for Jiang Changqing, it was very rare for him.
Jiang Changqing is the top second-level alchemist in Qinglan Valley, and it is said that he has the initial ability to refine third-level pills.
If I could watch such a big guy making elixirs.
The benefits can be imagined.
In addition, Jiang Changqing is also a cultivator in the middle to late stage of foundation building. He is already 120 years old this year, which is enough to guide any Qi refining disciple in his practice.
Yu Xiao has benefited greatly from the two open classes every month in the past. If he could follow Jiang Changqing, he could receive some targeted guidance on cultivation.
The value is equally huge!
In addition, Yu Xiao also understood why Jiang Changqing would gather a group of young alchemists to do odd jobs around him at this time.
In addition to support and cultivation.
There is another very important reason.
Jiang Changqing would start the furnace to refine foundation-building pills every three to five years.
The foundation-building pills he refines can increase the probability of a breakthrough for a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training by about 30%, and are undoubtedly an extremely valuable strategic resource.
The materials needed to refine this pill are expensive.
In particular, the material handling process is cumbersome and complicated.
Therefore, it is necessary to recruit a group of helpers to handle the problem.
Yu Xiao had been diligent and honest for more than a decade since he entered the sect. He had a clean background and was trustworthy. He also showed a high talent for alchemy, so it was not surprising that he was chosen.
Jiang Changqing suddenly remembered something.
"You won the first place in this alchemy competition. You can choose a high-level alchemy workshop as a prize."
"Thank you, Master!"
As the saying goes, having many skills is always a waste.
Yu Xiao is among the three pill recipes.
Finally, the recipe for "Zhuyan Pill" was chosen.
In terms of practicality, the other two high-level pills are better, but the recipes for this kind of common consumable pills are already recorded in the "Medicine King Pill Classic Beginner's Edition Volume 2" in Yu Xiao's hand.
Although the Rejuvenating Pill is less practical and a bit more difficult to refine.
But it is very popular among female practitioners.
So the value is not low and it has quite high learning value.
