Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 845

In the year 8020 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Lingjing Star

By Blue Star’s astronomical calculations, Liang Long and his team have been on Lingjing Star for forty-five years. In that ti, the people from Blue Star have completely changed Lingjing Star.

Loyal Buddhist cultivators have rebelled in groups, and many have been slain, which has greatly reduced the resistance to Liang Long and their transformation of Lingjing Star.

The Modern City has trained tens of thousands of native students from Lingjing Star. They have returned to their hotowns, bringing new ideas and new technologies.

With the support of the people from Blue Star, these individuals have founded countless schools and established a basic education system. In twenty years, even more people have graduated under them, becoming spreaders of Blue Star’s ideas and technologies. The trend of Blue Star changing Lingjing Star cannot be reversed. Even if Liang Long and his team leave now, the seeds have already taken root and sprouted.

Of course, leaving is impossible, but the three families have separated and officially started to divide Lingjing Star.

Lingjing Star has three continents in total. Huaxia took the largest Central Continent, the demon race took the Western Continent, which is second in size, and the Ying Continent received the slightly smaller Eastern Continent. As for so oceans and islands, they will be developed together.

At the ti of separation, Zheng Yi from Ying Continent also took away 300,000 residents from Modern City who had received complete Blue Star education. These residents were all orphans they had adopted.

Over many years of slaughter and occupation, they adopted over a million orphans from Lingjing Star. So were orphans to begin with, while others beca orphans due to their killings. These orphans were raised by society, looked after by robots, and educated uniformly. They are more loyal than the offspring of the native nobles of Lingjing Star and are the most faithful followers of Blue Star in Lingjing Star, becoming their new base in the future.

······

A beam of spiritual light appeared over Lingjing Star, unnoticed by anyone, and soon this beam transford into a monk who arrived in a village.

However, he quickly drew a crowd. Not long after, robots appeared and attacked him. The man did not fight back but soon managed to escape.

Another day passed, and a beggar walked into Jialan City. He leaned on a cane, begging along the street, but his confused eyes constantly looked at both sides of the street; everything was too unfamiliar for him.

"Hey, that beggar, stop!"

Less than an hour later, two people in uniforms stopped the beggar.

"Did you call , sir?"

The beggar answered carefully. The two officials exchanged glances, and one whispered, "He probably doesn’t understand Blue Star language; he must be from so distant mountain."

"Yes, we called you. Where are you from? Do you not know that begging is not allowed in Jialan City?"

One official switched to the language of Lingjing Star and asked.

"Sir, I, I, I…"

"Don’t try to fool ; just by looking at you, I can tell you’re from out of town. Are you sick?"

"Ah."

"I am asking you, are you sick?"

"Yes, sir, I have trouble walking."

The beggar quickly rolled up his pants, showing a rotten part of his leg. The two guards imdiately covered their mouths and stepped back in disgust.

"Damn it, another sick person. He looks useless and can’t go to the factory. Forget it, let’s send him to the orphanage."

"Yes, if he were healthy, we could send him to the factory, and we would get extra bonus money this month."

The two guards mumbled to each other and, without caring whether the beggar agreed or not, took him to an orphanage in Jialan City, where soone took over the beggar.

The beggar did not resist and quietly accepted everything. He received help from two old n with disabilities, who washed his body and gave him clean clothes. Soon after, a doctor ca to check on him and told him he would treat his leg injury in a few days.

By evening, the beggar had beco familiar with the old n helping him and went to the dining room to eat. The food was simple, but there was plenty, and everyone could have enough to eat.

The next day, an old man with disabilities ca to ask him to do so handicraft work and told him that while the orphanage could provide for him, it would only cover his basic needs. If he wanted to improve his life, he needed to work hard at so crafts to earn money, which could buy him at or new clothes.

The beggar nodded, feeling a bit confused; the orphanage felt like a whole new world to him.

Ti flew by quickly. The beggar soon lived in the orphanage for a month, and during that month, he beca completely familiar with life in the orphanage.

However, he still had doubts about what the old people in the orphanage said. They told him that all the lonely old people on Lingjing Star were taken care of by the governnt, and each lonely old person had enough food and clothing.

This was hard for him to believe. He thought this place was special because of the kindness of a big benefactor, but he didn’t believe it could happen all over the world; he wondered how much food and money would be needed for that.

So, when the doctor at the orphanage treated his leg injury again, his leg, which was supposed to be crippled, miraculously healed, and his face looked much healthier than before. Soon, the orphanage sent him to a factory to work as a worker.

"On Lingjing Star, there are thirty-eight hours in a day. You work twenty hours each day, with one hour of rest every four hours, including al ti. als are free, and accommodation is free. You get one day off every seven days, and you earn ten new coins for seven days of work. When you get better at your job, you can earn more."

The manager was a bit rough; without explaining clearly, he shoved two sets of work clothes into the beggar’s arms and sent him away. Afterwards, soone helped him arrange for accommodation, a dormitory with twenty people in one big room.

So, the beggar beca a worker in a textile factory, working alongside thousands of workers, going to work together, coming ho together, and eating together, feeling as if he was part of them.

Inside the factory, what shocked him the most was not the strange machines, but the trucks carrying raw materials. By his calculations, the factory’s monthly output was enough to et the clothing needs of everyone in Jialan City. He wondered where all these raw materials ca from.

Three months later, after hearing other workers talking about a good harvest outside the city, he left a note, along with his work clothes and other belongings, and disappeared from the factory.

He arrived outside the city and saw a golden scene stretching for miles. This golden view was made up of abundant crops, and hundreds of farrs were swinging their sickles, working hard to harvest the grains. Each farr showed a strong body and wore a happy smile on their face.

There were also huge machines moving through the fields. Wherever they went, the crops were harvested cleanly. One machine was more efficient than a hundred strong n. He also heard many farrs discussing how next year they must raise money to buy a harvester because gathering grains was too tiring.

Looking at the bags of harvested grains, he recalled what he had seen and heard in the orphanage and the factory. At that mont, he suddenly felt his Buddhist Heart waver.

"Amitabha"

As his Buddhist Heart wavered, his spiritual power leaked out, and he could no longer hold back, desperately reciting a Buddha’s na.

Then he froze because he felt the Buddha’s na was sowhat unfamiliar to him. He suddenly realized that for months, he hadn’t heard anyone around him say a Buddha’s na.

When he turned around, he saw a young man smiling at him.

"Amitabha"

"My na is Liang Long. I will take charge for now at Lingjing Star. May I ask how you are called?"

"The monk Fa Kong"

"Which planet did you co from?"

"·····"

Fa Kong did not want to speak anymore; he wondered whether to take action, but the man across from him showed no intent to fight.

"If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine; I’m not very interested either. If you don’t want to fight with , how about we sit down and have a good chat?"

"······"

"It’s one thing to be an old man with a disability, but to be mute is sothing else."

"I apologize."

Fa Kong suddenly realized that he had been found out, and he gave a bow to Liang Long.

"That’s more like it! From now on, fighting is fighting, but before it starts, I’m still very happy to make a few Buddhist cultivator friends. What you have seen these past few months is just the tip of the iceberg. So, would you like to show you the real Lingjing Star?"

"Thank you very much."

Fa Kong nodded; since he was here, he would accept it. He didn’t feel like fighting at the mont.

Liang Long nodded, opened his watch, and called a person nad Zhang Qing. Within ten minutes, Zhang Qing appeared before Liang Long.

"Let introduce you. This is a Buddhist cultivator friend from another world. Please help him understand the current Lingjing Star."

"Yes, my lord Liang."

Zhang Qing accepted the order and then showed Fa Kong a sincere smile, inviting him to his flying vehicle.

As soon as they left, Shiyi appeared in front of Liang Long and said, "My lord Liang, you are taking risks again. Zhang Qing may not be able to shake his Buddhist Heart; he is not an ordinary Buddhist cultivator."

"It doesn’t matter. I never intended to convert him anyway. Delaying a little is fine, Buddhist cultivators are very quick."

Liang Long said with a smile, "Zhang Qing is the main leader of the thought reform at Lingjing Star. He has a very high level of political work, and his experience is impressive. They captured a group of key Buddhist leaders at Lingjing Star. At first, they were supposed to be executed, but Zhang Qing applied for their thought reform."

After many years of reform, these people surprisingly all volunteered to give up their identities as Buddhist cultivators and beca cultivators instead. They were very passionate, just as good as the orphans they adopted.

Zhang Qing’s thod did not involve any magical powers; it was truly achieved through real changes at Lingjing Star.
