Xia Qingyang has entered a quiet period of accumulation again... Obviously he has joined the sect, but why he still feels like starting from scratch is amazing.
The previous round of assassinations brought him enough merit, and he finally unlocked the third level talent of Hengtian Xuanhuang Ruler for the second time.
Thunder, blessing, [sheng], god.
He had thought about how to choose this level for a long time. It was a lonely problem to choose to enhance the lightning attribute when there were no lightning spells at the moment.
As for Fuyuan, it was better to let him go first. Every time he wanted to choose, but every time he felt a little reluctant.
At this level, he has already taken a fancy to ‘God’.
The Divine Transformation Stage and the Divine Void Stage are both the cultivation of gods, but the Divine Void Stage is a qualitative change of gods.
When the third-level talents become: Thunder, Fortune, [Sheng], [God], his situation will change again.
Originally, his mental power had become very condensed due to the test of cold poison, but now after two strengthening blessings from [God], his innate mental attributes were already within the range of specialties.
In other words, he has the capital of a person who is born with a particularly strong mind, and also has the level of condensation that he acquires through training.
His Yuan Shen experienced another nourishment and growth from the inside out, and his practice during the Shenxu period reaped great benefits.
The practice of the Shenxu stage is to use one's own soul to understand nature, and in turn nourish oneself and grow in this Tao and nature.
This is a process of adjusting oneself and beginning to contact the world.
At this time, when the Yuan Shen looks at the Dao of Heaven, he is just looking at flowers in the mist, or he is so close to the end of the world. This is because this Yuan Shen has not yet been recognized by the Dao of Heaven, that is, he has not yet become an immortal.
Therefore, what I understand at this time are just some appearances, and how much I understand about the laws does not necessarily bring much strength and blessing in this realm.
What is really important is the adjustment of one's own state of mind and beliefs. Basically, the strength of the soul has become the criterion for judging this state.
According to general understanding, Xia Qingyang's cultivation in the Divine Void Stage is improving by leaps and bounds at this time.
In the ninth realm of Shenxu, the enhancement of [God] directly allowed him to break through a small realm and reach the third level of Shenxu, which is the peak of the initial stage.
And the slightly larger bottleneck stuck between the third and fourth realms didn't seem to be so stable anymore, and it was trembling in front of his naturally increasing mental strength.
Either he takes a nap, or he suddenly realizes something, this bottleneck will be broken by ruthlessness.
Xia Qingyang felt that he needed to take care of the face of this bottleneck... Well, the main reason was that he wanted to continue to stabilize his foundation and not break through too fast, so he did not immediately enter the middle stage of Shenxu.
If possible, he really wants to find a way to seal his cultivation... Breaking through too fast is not always a good thing.
The means and magic weapons cannot keep up, and in the end they can only be given away before the strong...
Therefore, in the next year, Xia Qingyang has been studying the refining of magic weapons.
In order to provide himself with enough refining materials, he used the support and convenience provided by the king during this year to open a total of three mines and more than a dozen smelting shops in the Black Forest Kingdom.
These smelting shops are not only used for forging weapons... but also forging agricultural tools and daily necessities.
The nobles in the country have also gradually started to use the iron tools of the 'Holy Blood Residence'.
The profit this brought to Xia Qingyang has even made up for the initial investment in the mine.
For many inflexible nobles, land has become a burden and they will no longer be able to afford land and poll taxes.
They didn't dare to change the country's leadership, so this year there were many more people selling land... and they were basically selling at a low price.
Xia Qingyang took the opportunity to buy them all, and then started the large manor planting mode.
Taking advantage of the situation, he absorbed a large number of slaves and "transferred" them into workers who took care of the manor, paying them to pay the poll tax themselves, and then farmed the land for him.
At this time, we don’t know what the harvest will be like. Anyway, with planned investment, the output will definitely be much greater than the original farming method.
The greatest benefit of his operation was that when the country's owners and some flexible landowners became big landowners, the nobles began to follow suit, and those slaves who were originally at the bottom of society began to work as hired workers to upgrade their class.
This is merit.
Therefore, the merit progress bar of the fourth level in the second round continues to rise.
Even though it now requires a huge amount of merit to level up, its upward trend is still obvious.
This is still in the transitional period. I really wonder what kind of merit he will gain after the entire slave class in the Black Forest Kingdom is wiped out.
The annual income of the Heilin Kingdom for the new year has also been calculated, and it is actually 30% less than the previous year.
This is normal. After all, the Black Forest Kingdom this year is in a turbulent transition stage... But as far as Xia Qingyang can see, more and more large estates have begun to follow the trend, and more and more large workshops are also taking shape.
The income in the coming year will definitely achieve a big increase.
In the next two or three years, Xia Qingyang predicts that the first thing to arrive will be a wave of baby boom!
That is the vitality released by the people at the bottom after they no longer have the most basic life pressure. I wonder if this can be regarded as his merit?
He thought happily, but was quickly brought back to reality.
Because his master had a sudden idea and wanted to visit his own property...
Hey, this beautiful master who has stayed at home for two years doesn't even know that she has become the largest landowner, charterer and chairwoman in the Black Forest Kingdom.
The property under her name covers almost all aspects of the Black Forest Kingdom, and the taxes she has to pay in a year are equal to the income from the offerings that year.
But correspondingly, the actual income was a bit more than last year when the harvest was great!
This surprised her, and she couldn't help but want to inspect her property.
Xia Qingyang had no choice but to accompany him, wandering around Moqiu City with his master, and by the way, introduce what is yours here, what is yours, etc...
"Where did you find so many capable people to manage these industries for you?" Mrs. Xuanyin couldn't help but ask after looking around... Good guy, almost this whole street belongs to her!
Xia Qingyang smiled slightly and said: "I just spent 30% of the profits to find the Supreme King who is currently idle at home... He has been quite boring recently. After listening to my suggestion, he immediately decided to cooperate and provide money and people together.
That’s why we bought such a large property for us.”
Mrs. Xuanyin suddenly realized: "The binding of interests is much more sophisticated than the previous demon lord's control methods... This lineage of the king will be our collaborators from now on, and it will be difficult for him to betray us again."
"And there is really a king who seeks out those Aland Cauldron sects because he wants to seek immortality. I'm afraid the royal family themselves will depose this king."
Xia Qingyang blinked. He simply saw that the old king was too idle and it was a pity that he had so many well-trained servants with no place to use them. He was also short of people and money...
But that’s fine, the ‘Holy Blood Residence’ is now regarded as the outer gate of the Blood Pool, and its tentacles involve all aspects of the Black Forest Kingdom. This country has actually been under the control of the ‘Holy Blood Residence’.
