This is how immortals are cultivated

"Because we are untouchables?" Jing Bo asked subconsciously.

"No, because we untouchables are so good."

"Yes, as long as there is a stutter, they will be enslaved without complaint."

"It's because we are too loyal and kind-hearted in our bones, not because we are 'untouchables'."

"And this kind of slave mentality will always exist unless they really can't survive."

"I have to admit that in ancient feudal society, in this world of low productivity, it was very difficult to change this."

"But now there are conditions."

"Although it may be a bit cruel to say so..."

Fang Suichu let out a long breath, and under Jing Bo's puzzled gaze, he said:

"A natural disaster is coming. It's going to be a severe drought."

PS: Here I explain the significance of creating this trial book.

This trial is equivalent to a game hosted by a True Evil Realm where three people who want to break through the realm set up a game and staked all their belongings.

The three people represent three camps.

Qingyi is an upper-class family, Zhanli is a barbarian and foreigner, and Suichuge is a peasant.

Whichever side ultimately gains the upper hand and determines the general trend will win.

The idea behind designing this trial book is roughly like this.

Of course, what Brother Suichu wants is not the resources of the other two people, but the opportunity to break through.

Chapter 168: Eat, Why Not Use Chopsticks?

"A natural disaster is coming. It's going to be a severe drought."

Experienced farmers can judge the weather for the next day through various signs, but predicting astronomical phenomena in the longer term is not something that ordinary people can do.

[Natural disaster], [severe drought], no matter which word it is, it is extremely terrifying for the farmers who grow up among the loess and for the common people.

The stories told by the old people in the past about the tragic scenes of thousands of miles of barren land and starving people everywhere have long sown a deep fear.

Behind this fear lies the fragility of the "untouchables," who can survive with just a bite of food, like weeds, struggling to survive in a harsh environment. But they are also as fragile as weeds, ready to fall at any moment.

"Who exactly are you..." Jing Bo asked tremblingly after hearing Fang Suichu's words.

This question is not asking Fang Suichu's name, but asking something else.

Hearing Jing Bo's question, Fang Suichu thought of the "great and virtuous teacher" he had just thought of.

Replace the blue sky with the yellow sky, and change the sky and the earth.

Thinking of this, Fang Suichu nodded slightly and said:

"I am the 'Taiping Daoist'."

Great Xia Dynasty, Qingzhou, Ning'an Prefecture.

The ancestral home of the Lin family in Ning'an.

The Lin family has been passed down for hundreds of years. In terms of family history, it is even longer than that of the Tian family. It has produced countless officials and provincial governors.

Half a month ago, the head of the Lin family passed away due to illness. Almost the entire Qingzhou was in mourning, and envoys from the court also came from the capital to express condolences.

Now that the funeral ceremony is over, the new head of the family has taken office.

There were several empresses in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, so women also had the right of inheritance.

Qingyi's succession to the position of head of the Lin family did not encounter any obstacles, and it could even be said to be very smooth.

This stems from the identity she assumed, which was full from the very beginning.

Not only is his family background at its peak, but his own qualities are also at their peak.

He has been known as a genius since he was young. He is well-versed in various classics and has even made achievements in the field of military affairs.

Because of this, even though she had just taken over the Lin family's power, her reputation was immediately maximized.

And if it is combined with the retained 'ability to see qi', it will be even more invincible.

She saw the 'qi'.

A red light rose between heaven and earth, carrying with it the power of disaster.

"Drought....a severe drought."

Seeing this disaster, Qingyi smiled.

The fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty seemed stable, but in fact its foundation was full of cracks and could collapse at any time. It was just a magnificent building with a beautiful appearance.

The old emperor was so seriously ill that he was unable to handle state affairs. He allowed the eunuchs to monopolize power, and the infighting among his sons was very serious.

Just one trigger, just a slight push, and the dynasty will collapse in an instant, like the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

By then, there will be a situation where many dragons will rise up from all directions.

The noble families in various states raised their armies and fought in the wild, trying their best to devour the remains of the deceased true dragon and complete their transformation into dragons.

And now, the trigger has appeared. The drought that affected most of the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, the red calamity light turned into a sharp sword, piercing into the seven inches of the Great Xia dragon energy.

"Let the tribe's chamber of commerce and caravans go to various places to collect grain. Don't worry about the money. Collect as much as you can."

Qingyi said to the young man behind him.

This young man was considered her cousin. He had just been crowned an adult when he was entrusted with an important task by Qingyi.

Looking at this cousin, with the purple aura on his head, Qingyi's eyes were deep.

In times of chaos, wise counselors and brave generals are indispensable.

After inheriting the position of head of the family, the first thing Qingyi did was to gather various talents.

There is no need to test their talents, but to look at their fate. Those who are gifted by fate can still accomplish things even if their talents are poor.

To use modern terminology that Qingyi doesn't understand, this Taoist dispute is like a strategy game.

Among them, various character gold cards are very important.

The GM of the game gave her very favorable conditions.

If the probability of getting a gold card in other places' gold card pools is one in a thousand draws, then the probability of getting a gold card in hers is one in fifty draws.

In the past half month, she has found more than ten gold cards within the family alone. Any one of them is enough to govern a region or lead an army.

"Then, contact the governor and ask him to raise taxes this year."

Qingzhou is her base. The Lin family is powerful and has more than ten thousand slaves dependent on them.

She had infiltrated all the local government offices, and even the governor of a province was the son-in-law of her Lin family.

"Master, if we increase the tax further, I'm afraid the farmers won't be able to afford it."

The young man who was entrusted with the task by Qingyi advised.

It’s not because they care about the untouchables, but because they are worried about excessive population loss.

"That's exactly the effect we want. We'll absorb as many slaves as there are refugees."

Before the big competition begins, see the general trend earlier than other competitors and make full preparations now.

When the famine comes, with enough food stored and enough slaves recruited, with a little training, they can immediately raise a large army that no other competitor can match.

In addition, Gyeongju has a superior geographical location, making it difficult to attack from outside, but it is very easy to attack from here, no matter which direction is east, south, west or north.

When troubled times come, she will use her own momentum to sweep the world, directly establish victory, and use this as an opportunity to break through the real disaster.

"I just don't know what the current situation is with Zhan Li and that Taoist Master Fang Xian." Qingyi thought to himself.

"But no matter what, in this world, my advantage is unmatched. No matter where they are, with my momentum, I can easily defeat them."

Although she didn't know how the Book of Destiny could create such a huge and complete world this time, she was certain that if she won, her gains would be far beyond her imagination.

Even once they break through the realm, they will become strong people in the real disaster, and lay an unimaginably solid foundation of Taoism.

Great Xia Dynasty, Yongzhou.

March.

This year's spring is warmer than in previous years, but the first spring rain that should have arrived has yet to come.

Last year's summer was dry and the winter was severe, so there was not much autumn grain and winter wheat. The situation at the beginning of spring seems to indicate that this year will only be worse.

Fangjia Village.

The village seemed unchanged from previous years, or perhaps even better. The tax collectors, who were supposed to go to the countryside during the Spring Festival, didn't show up, as if they had forgotten about Fangjia Village.

However, it was not forgotten, but tolerated for the time being. While the county was tolerating it, one person slaughtered the county constable and the strong man of a wealthy family.

Until today, in Huiquan County, on the official road outside the city, dust and smoke can be seen rolling in from afar.

It was a team of more than 200 people, all riding horses and wearing armor.

The Huiquan County Magistrate had been waiting outside the city early this morning. When he saw this group of people, he showed an unnatural expression on his face, but he quickly concealed it.

The experience a month ago is still vivid in my mind. Compared with the outcome of losing my life, just bleeding a little is acceptable.

After all, things have reached a point where they cannot be resolved without the intervention of real troops.

This month, he had thought of ways, even trying to use his connections with local wealthy families to invite some bandits, strong men who were difficult for the government to suppress, to rob Fangjia Village in order to kill "Fang Xi".

But it failed.

None of those so-called outlaws and martial arts masters could survive or escape. It was even heard that the villain ran a hundred miles alone and single-handedly wiped out the outlaw group that had occupied the mountain and ruled for a long time.

This method failed, but the county magistrate didn't think too much about it.

After all, a so-called hero is someone who dares not to mess with the government, so if the thieves hiding in the mountains really come down the mountain, he can probably solve the problem by leading the county's constables and militia.

Seeing the big man who looked like a general sitting on horseback at the head of the team slow down his horse and come over, Huiquan County Lord also restrained his chaotic thoughts, put on a smile and greeted him.

"Brother Wu, long time no see." The Huiquan County Lord clasped his fists.

"The pavilion has been prepared with fine wine and delicious food. Hurry and dismount so we can drink together."

There were already beautiful maids sitting in the pavilion beside the official road, and there were also civilians carrying loads of food and wine prepared for the soldiers.

The meaning of the Huiquan County Lord was very clear. He was unwilling to let this group of killers enter the city.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble will arise.

Captain Wu was also a smart man and understood what the Lord of Huiquan County meant.

But he didn't care so much. After all, the reward was given privately, which was a considerable amount of money, and the subordinates could also make some money.

"No need. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Warm up the wine, brother. We can drink together when I come back."

Captain Wu considered himself an honest man. Since he was paid, he had to do the job, at least in terms of service attitude.

In addition, of course, he did not take the target he was about to eliminate seriously.

Of course he had heard that the target of this suppression campaign had taken down the Huiquan County government office by himself. It did sound exaggerated, and precisely because it was too exaggerated, he felt that it was caused by the incompetence of the Huiquan County detectives.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

"However, Lord Wu needs to be careful. That person... is very strange."

After a terrifying day, he went back and thought about it again. It seemed too much to say that Fang Xi was a demon. The other party did not have three heads and six arms, nor did he perform any magic to summon wind and rain or turn beans into soldiers.

That day, it seemed that the opponent was able to do this simply by relying on strength, agility, and decent martial arts skills.

However, even though he comforted himself in this way, the Huiquan County Magistrate still subconsciously reminded Captain Wu.

Seeing the lingering fear in Huiquan County Lord's eyes, Captain Wu couldn't help but show some contempt, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said lightly:

"Thank you for your advice, brother, but please forgive me for being blunt. You don't understand military strategy."

"The word 'army' refers to a formation. Once a formation is set up, even the most powerful individual can break through it."

Of course, there are indeed those brave generals who can come and go freely in the military formation alone, and go in and out seven times.

However, such a powerful general is rarely seen in a century.
