Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 69 The rich imperial court, this world is not fair!

The backyard of the imperial guards in Donghua Palace.

Xu Yan reclined on the rocking chair, under the scorching summer sun, with his eyes half closed, silently polishing his blood.

"Tsk tsk, a birthday banquet cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver. This Daqian dynasty is really not ordinary rich."

The backyard of the imperial guards' office was separated from the front office by several layers of walls, nearly [-] meters away, but the conversations of Fatty Hong and the others still couldn't be hidden from Xu Yan's ears.

He didn't even need to eavesdrop. The powerful perception after practice was enough for him to hear and distinguish all the sounds of insects and birds in a radius of several hundred meters.

However, Xu Yan only sighed slightly about the fact that the imperial court spent hundreds of millions of taels of silver on the Son of Heaven's birthday ceremony, and didn't take it to heart.

Including the nine-day spiritual banquet that Fatty Hong participated in, and using it to break through the two small realms, and directly break through the late stage of the martial arts master.

To Xu Yan, it was just a breeze blowing on his face, and it didn't affect his state of mind at all.

the reason is simple.

After he broke through the twentieth level of [Spirit Turtle Breathing Method], he could completely absorb the yang energy in the sunlight to strengthen himself, transforming the yang energy into martial arts qi and blood power, just like a plant performing light and function.

I can get stronger by exposing myself to the sun.

What other spiritual banquet is needed, a treasure of heaven and earth?

Moreover.

At his level of cultivation, except for a few top-level spiritual objects and heavenly and earthly treasures at the level of gods and gods, there is not much difference between ordinary spiritual objects and daily diet for him.

It's nothing more than how much energy it contains.

There's no need to be envious of this or that just for the sake of a few spiritual feasts, just to make things difficult for yourself.

"However, this large-scale imperial court is really not ordinary rich. If those emperors in Blue Star's history know about it, they will definitely envy and envy the separation of the two."

"One Tianzi Xunshou Ceremony cost hundreds of millions, billions of taels of silver, and then think of myself as a sixth-rank Yuqiansi captain, with a month's salary of only 100 taels of silver."

"This……"

Thinking of his salary, Xu Yan couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

What the hell, with my salary, even if I work forever, I won't be able to earn so much money.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan's calm state of mind instantly broke down.

The level of practice skills has improved, so he doesn't need to worry about practice resources anymore.

But that doesn't mean that Xu Yan doesn't need money.

There are too many places where he needs money.

You need money to eat, you need money to buy clothes, you need money to buy Taoist materials, you need money to marry a daughter-in-law, you need money to buy a house, you need money to treat guests, and you need money for daily communication...

It can only be said that no matter which world it is in, money is inseparable.

As the saying goes: If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, you can't walk an inch. The ancients never deceived me.

Think about making money.

Xu Yan had to admire the Daqian court.

Because it is really good at making money by working hard at the court.

Many profitable industries that can make a lot of money are all monopolized by the imperial court.

For example, mining of spirit crystal mines, trading of demon and spirit animal meat, planting of spiritual fields and land, control and control of spiritual oil and materials, trade of salt and iron, banks, money houses, belief in gods, etc.

All are monopolized by the imperial court and exclusive sales prohibited by the people.

This reminded Xu Yan of the oil, tobacco, railway, electricity, communication, salt industry, banking and other industries in his previous life.

So many profiteering industries are monopolized.

No wonder the Dagan imperial court is so rich that they dared to spend hundreds of millions or billions of taels of silver to hold the emperor's birthday banquet.

Because of this little money, it is really drizzle for the Daqian court.

Especially for the Daqian royal family and the princes in the court, gold, silver and money in the world, even if they are not dung, are no different from dung, they are just a series of numbers.

When Xu Yan thought of this, he instantly felt that his monthly high salary of 100 taels was not good at all.

Thinking about it again, there are small houses with tens of thousands of taels and millions of taels in Tianjing City.

Xu Yan was even more confused and didn't know what to say.

A monthly salary of [-], and a house price of tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

The Tianlong people in this world are so happy.

Living in the capital is not easy!

…………

"I have seen the Captain!"

After a while, Hong Hao came to Xu Yan's courtyard and saluted with a smile.

A pair of bright small eyes looked at Xu Yan who was reclining on the leisure chair, a little surprised.

Because at this time Xu Yan gave people a very strange feeling.

It's obviously only the cultivation level of a martial artist, but lying there at this time, it gives people a very strange feeling, mysterious and mysterious, harmonious and natural, just like the legendary unity of heaven and man, very extraordinary.

Like a fairy, like a god!
Especially when he opened his eyes, it seemed like stars were flowing.

Brilliant as a galaxy!
"What's the matter?"

Xu Yan was lying on the easy chair, and didn't get up.

He opened his eyes and looked at Hong Hao, keenly aware of the complicated emotions in Hong Hao's heart.

Shock, suspicion, arrogance, curiosity, and a strong sense of superiority.

This is an ability he obtained after breaking the limit of [Mind Confusion Technique].

Although it is not as good as the legendary [He Xintong] supernatural power, he can vaguely feel other people's inner emotions.

If you really want to describe it, it is an ultra-low configuration version of [He Xintong].

Xu Yan noticed the confusion and complicated emotions in Hong Hao's heart, and smiled at him.

It was this smile that made Hong Hao's mind sway, as if he saw the oiran in Tianxiang Tower, which was confusing.

Heck!

I don't like men.

Hong Hao shook his head vigorously to recover himself from the strange state in front of him, and he didn't dare to look into Xu Yan's eyes again.

At the same time, he has already guessed, suspecting that his boss has practiced some kind of pupil technique that confuses people's hearts, and he has cultivated this pupil technique to an extremely deep level.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be an inadvertent look in his eyes, which would shake the heart of himself, a great master of martial arts.

Great Master of Martial Arts!
That's right.

At this time, Hong Hao was not the late stage martial arts master that was advertised to the outside world, but a great martial arts master who had been washed and replaced.

The nine-day spirit feast of the Son of Heaven's birthday banquet, the harvest is definitely greater than the world's imagination.

The same is true.

The nine-day spiritual banquet is definitely a rare opportunity for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the noble children.

As long as you have the ability, you can eat all kinds of spiritual fruits, spiritual things, spiritual brews, etc., even if you practice while eating.

A birthday banquet, like a seedling to encourage growth, directly let Hong Hao wash his marrow and replace his blood. He only needs to concentrate on it for a while and hone his martial arts, and he can become a veritable martial arts master and be on his own.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven Xunshou Ceremony is definitely a rare fortune and opportunity for the top honored children, which can save them years of hard work and greatly enhance the strength of the new generation of the Daqian Dynasty.

Although Xu Yan didn't know the truth about the nine-day spiritual feast in the Son of Heaven's Longevity Ceremony, he could see Hong Hao's true strength at a glance, and he sighed in his heart.

This is the top son of the rich and powerful.

How do you compare with ordinary people?
Ordinary warriors start from training the marrow, and finally wash the marrow and exchange blood to achieve great success. Even with the assistance of qi and blood pills, it will take several years to complete. It is completely slow work of grinding tofu with water.

And Hong Hao only participated in the Son of Heaven's Xunshou Ceremony once, and ate a nine-day spiritual feast, and he went straight from the initial stage of marrow washing, washing marrow and exchanging blood for great success, and became a great master of martial arts.

If this matter gets out, there will definitely be an uproar, making ordinary martial arts practitioners doubt their lives.

Of course they do!
The world is so unfair.

For ninety-nine out of ten warriors in the world, the Grand Master of Martial Arts is the destination that is difficult to reach.

However, for the great royal family and the children of top honors, it is just a starting point.

Even, as long as the imperial court is willing, it can manufacture a large number of martial arts masters regardless of the cost. Even if the masters produced are all parallel imports, they cannot be resisted by ordinary martial artists.

Under such circumstances, ordinary people want to stand out and complete the counterattack?

Xu Yan felt that it would be better to wash up and go to bed early.

Dreams have everything!
Hong Hao naturally didn't know the sigh in Xu Yan's heart.

After he came back to his senses, the arrogance in his heart could not help but subside a lot, he cupped his hands to Xu Yan and said, "I don't know if my lord has time tonight, Fatty, I have set up a table in Wangjiang Tower, and I want to invite my lord to take part."
