From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

After several years of operation, the population under the jurisdiction of Qihuoying has reached one million.

The vast majority of them were refugees recruited from the southern states and counties, most of whom were young and strong.

The fact that drought-stricken areas are absorbing people is also a wonder of Daning.

With more people, a stable structure needs to be established, and Xu Xiru has been committed to this over the years.

Now that the basic base of the beggar camp has been established, it is time to promote the imperial examination system and attract talents widely.

A big part of the reason why Daning has been able to operate to this day is that the academies and the imperial examination system have contributed a steady stream of fresh blood.

However, in the development of martial arts, Daning was not as satisfactory as expected.

The major aristocratic families controlled the local areas, and the imperial court was also cautious about taking any action against them.

In addition, since the knights broke the law by using force, the court's attitude towards warriors was very delicate.

They neither want martial arts to disappear, nor do they want them to become widely spread among the lower classes of people.

There are actually very few people like Xu Yan who recruited many disciples and promoted martial arts.

Since the founding of the country by Emperor Taizu of Daning, martial arts have been increasingly declining.

At the root of it all, martial arts families tried their best to prevent the spread of martial arts in order to preserve their own status.

As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts, but there are also people with extraordinary talents who can go against the current.

A poor man challenged the hundreds of years of authority of a martial arts family by using a widely circulated martial arts book, which was absolutely unacceptable to the martial arts family.

However, from the perspective of the development of martial arts, the more widely a martial art is spread, the more likely it is that a genius will emerge to innovate it.

In order to lay a solid foundation and to realize Xu Yan's long-cherished wish, Xu Xiru decided to establish a martial arts academy based on the academy.

Since the uprising, the Qihuo Camp has destroyed sixteen martial arts families and killed nearly a hundred acquired martial artists.

The seized martial arts included twenty-one complete volumes and seven incomplete volumes.

The Qihuoying Camp was in charge of three counties and had twenty-nine counties.

Xu Xiru required that each county should have a college and a military academy, and the same should be true for the prefecture.

As for the location of the Beggars' Camp, there was the Yingxia Academy and the Martial Arts General Academy, which brought together heroes from all over the country.

Those who can enter the academy's martial arts school are all talented.

Not only are food and accommodation free, but students with excellent academic performance also receive a monthly allowance.

If you can show your talent early, you will have a better chance of being accepted as a disciple by a post-natal warrior.

After two years of preparation, martial arts academies in various places have all been built and are recruiting new students.

During this period, He Qiao broke through the fourth level of the acquired realm and became a mid-stage acquired realm warrior.

Xu Yan's other two disciples also broke through to the post-natal level, and finally there were enough warriors to sit in the county city's martial arts academy.

The president of each county's martial arts academy was Liu Yinglong's direct disciple, and according to convention, only the martial arts academy in the county was qualified to teach martial arts.

As for the several post-natal warriors who had been forced to land in the past two years, they had been kept in the army. Xu Xiru did not dare to let them serve as instructors and spy on the captured martial arts.

The Beggars' Camp has decided to open a special examination in February next year, and hold it once a year.

If there is any change, it will be after the territory expands.

In the space, as his cultivation level increased, the age of the spiritual medicine Chen Yu could afford also greatly increased.

What he is taking now is a 700-year-old ginseng, which has enough medicinal power for him to practice for four hours.

True essence flows in the body, absorbing the vast spiritual energy.

Even though his skills have reached perfection, Chen Yu is still used to practicing under Jianmu.

Jianmu not only improved his deductive ability, but also amplified his various perceptions, so that he would not go astray.

After finishing his training, Chen Yu left Jianmu and headed for the ordinary planting area in the space.

He recently discovered a flowering plant that resembles a morning glory.

It was planted two months ago and now the space is full of flowers.

He estimated that in another month, he would be able to harvest the spiritual honey.

The golden eels that have been raised for a long time can finally be shipped.

Chen Yu came to the pond, took out a hook and a bunch of earthworms, and looked everywhere for the hole.

The carp is now close to building its foundation, and its taste has become much more discerning. Earthworm bait can no longer arouse its interest at all.

The habits of the golden eel are similar to those of the common eel, and they like to live in burrows near the shore where there are lush aquatic plants.

Especially the places where the spiritual plant reeds grow are basically occupied by golden eels.

After working for a long time, there were more than a dozen eels as thick as baby arms in Chen Yu's basket.

This thing is extremely powerful. Although it is not a spiritual beast, it would probably be difficult for a warrior who has just entered the post-natal stage to capture it.

At the same time, another wicker basket contained about twenty freshly picked lotus pods.

The lotus seeds of this elixir are rich in spiritual energy, only slightly lower than lotus roots.

It tastes sweet when eaten raw, and has a unique flavor when fried.

When he was killing the fish and bleeding it, he was surprised to find that there were tiny silver dots in the golden eel's blood.

What kind of substance is this? Chen Yu couldn't help but observe it closely with his spiritual sense.

The extremely rich power of flesh and blood actually condensed into white crystals.

Generally speaking, Qi Refining monks can do it if they want to, but they usually tend to balance their physical bodies, and their spiritual energy content is much higher.

A foundation-building cultivator like him already has a body as crystal clear as jade.

But this situation occurs in the golden eel, which is not even a spiritual beast, which can be said to be extremely precious.

Chen Yu put the blood into the monsters' feeding troughs, and then fried the eel slices into a plate.

He tasted it with a chopstick, and it tasted excellent. The strong blood in it, although it had no effect on him, added a rich and mellow taste.

If it could become a true spiritual beast, its value would be much higher, and it might also be helpful to Qi-refining practitioners.

After dinner, Chen Yu went into the Jianmu tree to practice again, this time to review the skills he had acquired before.

The booklet of the evil cultivator was a severely incomplete inheritance of the Six Spirit Sect. No one knew how it had ended up in his hands.

Only four kinds of evil magic are recorded above, namely, marrying a child, running to the spirit, the five tendencies, and driving away animals.

Chen Yu spent a few days of his free time to study it thoroughly.

Among them, the Five-Inclination Technique is relatively normal. It is a method that simply increases speed, but it requires negative spiritual power.

Most of the negative spiritual power is cultivated by evil ways, but it is not its original sin.

All other spells require the killing of living beings.

Marrying a child is to concentrate the energy and blood of different people in one person, thus forming a short-term combat power, which will be scrapped after it is used up.

Running the spirit consumes a dead soul to greatly increase the attack power, while driving the animal speeds up the cultivation process by sacrificing blood.

He is indeed an evil cultivator, and what he does is inhumane.

But there are also many things worth learning from it, for example, Chen Yu saw the art of puppetry in the aspect of marriage.

As for driving away animals, it is not unacceptable to sacrifice the blood of monsters for cultivation.

However, when he learned in detail about the practice of driving animals, he felt that it was not worth trying.

It turns out that as more and more blood is used in the sacrifice, the monk will lose himself.

Whether or not to use the blood of his own kind in the end might not be something he could control.

Of course, what Chen Yu values ​​more is the martial arts that Li Xuheng specializes in.

The inspiration from the Soul-Devouring Technique made him feel itchy.

Unfortunately, there is no free spiritual power in nature, and using the souls of living creatures, even monsters, to practice would be detrimental to the harmony of nature.

Chen Yu had a vague feeling that the next step to a higher realm might bring him face to face with the legendary heavenly calamity.
