If you look closely at the statistics, you will find a shocking fact...
As the era of Zhenqi comes and quickly becomes the mainstream, the first people to benefit are not those living in the city, but the sparsely populated wilderness.
With the emergence of many mutated ferocious birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, the already sparsely populated mountains and forests have almost become a paradise for ferocious birds and beasts.
What is even more alarming to the upper echelons of the Da Qi Empire is that some of the more famous copycats have recently seen the emergence of many strong players, causing considerable trouble to local security.
Some arrogant mountain bandits and water bandits, relying on their suddenly increased strength, began to unscrupulously destroy local order...
As the direct sister of the Emperor of the Qi Empire, the Mistress of the Princess Palace was naturally able to receive first-hand information that was both important and confidential.
Seeing that the mountains and forests outside the city, and even some sparsely populated mountain villages, have become places where mutated ferocious beasts, and even bandits and bandits are rampant, and the government's rule is seriously weakened or even disintegrated, I feel very worried.
At this time, how could she still have the time to argue with a junior like Chen Ying?
As for Chen Ying, her second brother Chen Wu directly dealt with it...
"This place is really secretive!"
Entering the most secret library of the palace for the first time, Chen Ying was inevitably curious and couldn't help but marvel at the location.
Damn it, this library is actually built underground. No wonder I couldn't find out about it before. It's really hard to find this place.
Of course, the most important thing is that the manpower, material and financial resources required to build an underground library are no joke.
Moisture-proofing alone is enough to increase the construction cost by several levels.
"This library is divided into three floors. The first floor is filled with more ordinary books!"
Chen Wu smiled without saying anything and took Chen Ying to wander on the first floor. He pointed at the rows of bookshelves and said with a smile: "If you want to read, third brother, you can browse the books here at will!"
It can be seen just from his demeanor and tone that he doesn't care about the books on this level, and it can even be said that he doesn't pay attention at all.
Chen Ying felt happy...
Since Chen Wu was so generous, wouldn't he be very sorry for his second brother's kindness if he didn't write down all the tens of thousands of books on the first floor?
Before Chen Ying could make any move, Chen Wu took out two second-rate internal skills and mental techniques, "Flowing Cloud Palm" and "Cut the Wind Leg" and handed them to him. He said with a smile: "These are the internal skills and mental techniques that were promised to my third brother.
!”
"Thank you, second brother, I won't be polite!"
Chen Ying was really not polite. He took over the two second-rate internal skills and mental techniques, watched Chen Wu leave, and then plunged into the ocean of books on the first floor of the underground library.
Little did he know that at the same time, a wave of guards from the Zhenbei Palace, all of whom were very energetic and powerful, headed straight for the Valley Manor.
"It's just normal sand seepage. I think the third child will understand!"
When the mistress of the palace was having a meal, she sneered at her biological son Chen Wu and said, "Since you think the pills provided by the third child are very effective, the palace will not show any sign of it!"
Chen Wu nodded in agreement. After taking the pills brought back by his third brother Chen Ying, he noticed the rapid growth of Qi in his body. He was in a good mood and thought more about the Valley Manor. He felt that the government should strengthen control.
It's not that I want to rob it, but I feel that the guard strength of Valley Manor is obviously insufficient, and it is necessary for the government to help strengthen it.
For example, right now, Chen Ying is not in Valley Manor, and the strongest opponents there are the Zhao family. If the children of the Zhao family have any ideas...
Of course, based on normal circumstances, such a thing is unlikely to happen.
But don’t forget that this kid Chen Xiong has been staying at Valley Manor for a long time.
He has a special status. What if the children of the Zhao family coax him into doing something detrimental to the government?
Don't think that something like this can't happen, it's better to be cautious.
However, neither the mistress of the palace nor Chen Wu knew that the real core of the Valley Manor was Chen Ying.
If he were not here, the pharmaceutical workshop, which was the core of Valley Manor, would be completely unable to operate.
As for the valley farms and towns, they all developed based on pharmaceutical workshops.
If the pharmaceutical workshops were suspended for two months, although the Villas and Granges would not suffer any damage, they would at least be 40 to 50% less deserted than they are now.
That's no joke...
Therefore, although Chen Ying was immersed in the ocean of knowledge at this time, he still had Valley Manor firmly in his hands.
He made pharmaceutical equipment based on machine skills and some factors, but only he can fully control it. His pharmaceutical apprentices only add various auxiliary materials according to prescribed procedures.
As for why this happened, these pharmaceutical apprentices also had a dark look.
It's not that Chen Ying deliberately hides his clumsiness, but the time is too short. These pharmaceutical apprentices have just begun to recognize medicines. It is obviously impossible to learn the mechanical skills that require a rich reserve of knowledge to learn at the moment.
If you don't understand the mechanics, you can't expect to have a clear and profound understanding of the pharmaceutical equipment designed and manufactured by Chen Ying, let alone control it.
Obviously neither the mistress of the palace nor Chen Wu knew this, so they just followed normal logical thinking and habits and sent capable guards to the valley manor to infiltrate the sand.
Coupled with the name of Zhenbei Gongfu, I thought that I could seize part of the control of the Valley Manor, but I thought too much.
…
For three full days, Chen Ying stayed on the first floor of the underground library, constantly reading books that interested her.
He felt that he was lucky and was filled with joy.
Sure enough, as the secret library of Zhenbei Palace, the breadth and depth of the contents are much better than those in public libraries.
The books here record the essence of hundreds of academic schools!
For example, medical skills have begun to penetrate deeply into the human body, and there are even some ideas involving the microscopic level. However, the writing is a bit vague, and it is difficult for people who are not medical skills to understand this aspect.
For example, in agriculture, hybridization has begun to be involved, as well as the planting and cultivation of some special agricultural plants.
Looking at some of the strange agricultural plants and the harsh conditions such as soil and weather required, those who didn’t know better thought they were planting spiritual seeds.
There are also mechanism techniques, which in addition to water power, wind power and animal power mechanisms are added, and there are even power mechanism techniques that partially rely on special geographical environments.
Chen Ying thought about it for a long time, and was shocked to find that there was even a machine technique that used natural magnetic fields as power. If he hadn't had such awareness and thoughts, he might not even be able to understand it.
Wait, wait, wait, most of the classics on the first floor of the underground library contain relatively in-depth knowledge among the hundreds of academics.
What makes Chen Ying feel a little weird is that any knowledge that involves profound knowledge is not mentioned in detail, and it seems to involve a different civilizational knowledge system from the mechanical, photoelectric, technological civilization.
Moreover, many of the knowledge and factors involved do not seem applicable to the world at this time.
What surprised him the most was that there were many more basic Qi refining methods and derivative methods.
A simple way to invite the gods to collect the power of incense and wishes, some small spells activated by the power of the soul, as well as spells and runes, and ways to control ghosts and exorcise corpses.
In short, these knowledge and contents have involved the mysterious power of the soul, the function of the interaction between heaven and earth spiritual energy, etc.
It felt to Chen Ying that they were all methods and knowledge that could only be possessed by a world at a higher level than the Zhenqi era.
The most precious ones are the notes written by some senior masters...
Among them, there are records of exorcising ghosts and inviting gods, and there are also detailed descriptions of certain methods, mixed in travel notes like short stories.
If you don't believe it, you might think it is a story essay written by someone before.
No wonder Chen Wu was so bold and confident and allowed Chen Ying to browse through it at will. It turned out that he didn't believe the content of the books here.
Even if you believe it, the current environment of heaven and earth does not support it, so it will have no effect.
I guess in Chen Wu's eyes, the most precious thing on this level is the hundreds of third-rate and inferior internal energy and mental techniques.
There are also records about the descriptions and understandings of internal skills by senior masters, and dozens of related books on their experiences in practicing internal skills.
Of course, these contents and knowledge are equally important. Through a lot of understanding, Chen Ying can have a clearer and deeper understanding of internal strength cultivation.
But in his opinion, the method of refining qi that goes back to its origin is not useless.
At the very least, it gave him a deeper understanding of the inheritance of the main world's cultivation system, and also added more and more profound knowledge reserves.
This trip to the secret library had an unimaginable impact on Chen Ying.
In three days, with the help of the tyrannical soul power, he memorized the contents of tens of thousands of books, which was quite a drain on his own energy.
Originally, if he wanted to memorize tens of thousands of books in just three days, it would be impossible even if he had photographic memory.
However, from among the strange magic methods, he saw a small method using the soul power of copying that was quite simple and very suitable for his current situation, and it helped him solve too many troubles at once.
It took half an hour to learn the art of copying, and then the area covered by the power of the soul, all the contents of the books, and the pictures hidden in them were firmly engraved in the depths of my mind, and I could never forget them.
You must know that the area covered by his divine soul power is fully ten meters, that is, the ten-meter large circle area with himself as the center is covered by his divine soul power.
With one use of copying, the contents of thousands or even thousands of books in the area covered by the power of the soul can be firmly engraved in the mind.
It was with this method and its astonishing effects that Chen Ying became convinced of many of the contents on the first floor of the underground library.
It can be said that this trip to the underground library not only increased his knowledge reserve, but also made him aware of the vastness and magic of the world. He even gained some understanding of the level of gods after Neijia Quan Gangjin.
