His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

Let's start with the most important thing: this law.

The so-called "fundamental law" can be broken down into its components, hence it can also be called the "root law" or the "fundamental law".

Ye Liuyun's Five Diseases and Three Calamities Formula and Xu Bing's Controlling One Creation Formula are both fundamental methods.

Once you begin your practice, you cannot easily change it.

However, nothing is absolute. If one modifies some fundamental laws that are similar in nature and have some lineage connection with the original fundamental laws, it does not actually require much sacrifice.

For example, some folk sorcerers, through various means, obtained a castrated version of the "Five Diseases and Three Disasters Longevity Method" called the "Two Diseases and One Disaster Formula".

Modifying the Five Illnesses and Three Calamities Formula using the Two Illnesses and One Calamity Formula only requires sufficient effort and financial resources to complete.

There is no need for methods such as rebuilding the road.

Let's get back to the main topic.

This method is the fundamental method, the foundation for a Qi cultivator's path to longevity. If a Qi cultivator is likened to a tree growing against the heavens, then the "fundamental method" refers to the roots and stems in the soil.

Breakthroughs in this method will not directly affect one's realm.

In other words, while one may achieve a breakthrough in this method, their spiritual realm may not necessarily follow suit.

The improvement of one's realm requires gradual accumulation and growth.

A Qi cultivator at the Lantern Realm only needs to find the location of the natural barrier in the Primordial Beginning and begin building the Bridge of Longevity to be considered to have entered the Tower Bridge Realm.

From this perspective, whether or not this law achieves a breakthrough seems to have little significance.

Even if the fundamental law has not been broken through, as long as the bridge to immortality is built within the Primordial Beginning, it can be considered as having entered the bridge-building realm.

However, they are not entirely unrelated.

Those who cultivate this method to a high level become powerful, and the longevity bridges they build are of a higher standard, style, and grandeur than those built by ordinary people.

Their combat capabilities are naturally incomparable.

In short...

The level of a Qi cultivator depends on the opportunities and circumstances within the Primordial Space.

Cultivating this method strengthens oneself and one's roots, and to a certain extent, it also determines the specifications of the buildings a Qi cultivator can construct within the Primordial Space, and so on.

If we compare the path of cultivation to a towering tree, then the roots in the soil are the fundamental principles, and the height of the tree is the spiritual realm.

[Fundamental Principle] The higher one's cultivation level, the more solid the roots become, and the faster one can absorb nutrients. However, the height of a tree, which represents one's realm, still needs to be increased little by little, accumulating bit by bit.

The world is vast, and the fundamental laws are incredibly diverse, bringing various benefits, such as strengthening the body, extending lifespan, increasing blessings, and so on.

With the practice of this method.

Cultivators can also comprehend corresponding techniques from the fundamental laws.

The next key point for Qi cultivators is: realm.

The level of cultivation goes without saying; the higher the level, the stronger the power.

Carrying lanterns, building bridges, establishing residences, casting platforms...

Just like running a business, it's about taking it one step at a time, progressing gradually, and things will fall into place naturally.

Furthermore, different people and different circumstances will lead to the development of different hidden realms.

Xu Bing's treasure hunt and clenched fist, Zhao Qingyun's white jade... are all examples of this.

A Qi cultivator's combat strength cannot be judged solely by their cultivation level. A theory based solely on cultivation level is not applicable to this world.

As for the last key point, it includes the circulation route, the guiding method, the breathing method, and so on.

The breathing technique involves inhaling and exhaling to draw in the vital energy of heaven and earth into the body.

Once the Qi is drawn into the body, its circulation within the body is the route of its movement.

Different cultivators have different cultivation paths. Some fundamental methods include breathing techniques and cultivation path diagrams, while others do not, and cultivators need to find them themselves.

As for the Road Guiding Method, it is used by cultivators at the Lantern-Carrying Realm who, upon entering the Primordial Space, are completely lost, unable to find their way or the location of the insurmountable barrier.

At this point, the guide method comes in handy, directing cultivators through different paths to reach the location of the natural barrier and begin building the bridge to immortality.

The location of the site is also extremely important. Below the natural barrier is a rushing river with uneven banks. Some places are close, some are narrow, some are magnificent, and some are barren and simple.

There are tricks to it everywhere.

Later, there will be methods such as "building bridges" and "establishing a government office"... all of which are experiences summarized by our predecessors.

The route guidance provided by certain powerful forces can increase the probability of encountering treasures in the Primordial Era.

Moreover, with the legacy of predecessors, later cultivators will find it easier to progress.

The location of the natural barrier they reached was also a good place to build a bridge.

That's the allure of a powerful force.

Not everyone is like Xu Bing, wandering aimlessly in this endless primordial space.

of course.

They also lack the necessary resources.

Many Qi cultivators with established traditions, upon entering the Lantern-Carrying Realm and the Primordial Space, generally use the Path Guiding Technique to locate the natural barrier.

Only when they encounter treasure will they deviate from the path.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Ye Liuyun's fundamental cultivation method is the "Five Illnesses and Three Calamities Longevity Method," which, as the name suggests, requires experiencing five major illnesses and three major calamities.

After each illness and disaster, he improves in all aspects, and his whole being undergoes a transformation.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun has already experienced two illnesses and one disaster, and a third illness is on its way.

This is exactly what the old man with white eyebrows is worried about.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun's eyes darkened, and the light in them flickered uncertainly.

This……

That's exactly what he was worried about.

In Fukuda and Tanmura, the daily farming and labor never cease.

The halo of diligence plays a huge role.

Back in Da Xi City, Xu Bingqu gave Qingmeng Restaurant an eye-catching aura.

Increased visibility naturally leads to increased daily revenue.

Meanwhile, the sale of Jiu Mi continued, with Xu Bing planning to release 100 jin of Jiu Mi today.

Based on the price of 20 taels per catty, it is estimated that the daily income could reach 2,000 taels of silver.

I estimate I'll be able to complete the "100 Taels of Gold" task today.

noon.

Xu Bing returned to the mansion and went straight to the side hall.

"grown ups."

A pale-faced scholar walked straight over and bowed respectfully.

"You're here to apply for the position, right?" Xu Bing looked at the "talent recruitment form" in the other person's hand, his eyes narrowed, and he sized him up.

They arrived so quickly.

"Yes...yes." The pale-faced scholar was somewhat reserved, unsure of where to put his hands, and very nervous.

In fact, given Xu Bing's current aura, few people can remain calm in his presence.

The pale-faced scholar never expected that the Grand Preceptor of Da Xi would be born in such a way—nine feet tall with an incomparably handsome face.

Could it be... that the rumors are true, and he really is a wicked sorcerer who brings disaster to the country? But the rumors say that this national advisor is extremely ugly and has a bloated figure.

I've heard that the current emperor is a woman. Can Your Majesty really resist such beauty?

The pale-faced scholar was lost in thought when he looked up at the other person again.

Those eyes, that nose… he suddenly felt a little inferior.

"What's your name?" Xu Bing asked.

"My name is Bai Shangxue," said the pale-faced scholar.

"Great, you're hired."

Xu Bing patted him on the shoulder and said, "From today onwards, your monthly salary will be one hundred taels of silver, and you will be in charge of managing my Qingmeng Inn and Longqu Rice Shop."

"Oh... Ah?!"

Bai Shangxue was stunned, his eyes wide open, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to lose his balance.

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

"Alright, let's start this afternoon and get familiar with the business." Xu Bing waved his hand.

Xu Bing has complete confidence in the talent recruited through the talent recruitment campaign.

Both ability and character.

"Bai Shangxue will not fail your trust!" Bai Shangxue knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

Blood was flowing freely from my forehead.

Only in this way can we demonstrate our determination.

Xu Bing went back and helped him up, his vital energy flowing into Bai Shangxue's forehead.

He shook his head and chuckled, saying, "No need for that. I believe in you. Do a good job."

After saying that, he gestured to the maid Qiu, who was also Song Si, to take Bai Shangxue downstairs to bandage his wounds.

Song Si watched Xu Bing leave, her brows furrowed... This tactic of winning people's hearts, this confidence in generously employing people...

He does possess a certain indescribable personal charm.

Song Si led Bai Shangxue downstairs. While bandaging his wounds, she subtly inquired, "Young Master Bai, what do you think of the Imperial Preceptor?"

Bai Shangxue's eyes flashed with fire. "I have never seen such a person before. I will certainly live up to your expectations, sir!"

"Sigh..." Song Siwei sighed almost imperceptibly.

She had originally planned to try and see if she could get some information out of Bai Shangxue.

Now it seems that if she were to make any underhanded moves, Bai Shangxue would be the first to report her.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm trapped in the Imperial Preceptor's residence now."

"Damn it, this Xu Bing..."

The longer Song Si stayed at the Imperial Preceptor's residence...

He increasingly felt that this real, chronic illness was extremely difficult to treat.

All my previous knowledge and impressions of him will be overturned.

(Just a spoiler: Under Xu Bing's increasing discipline, the Empress will gradually... Σ＞―(〃°w°〃)?→, it will happen step by step.)
