Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace Chapter 570 - 656 Cultivation of the True Explanation of the
Xiao Jiu could not be happier to stick to Chen Mo all day long, and now Chen Mo asks it to guard while he cultivates, Xiao Jiu is delighted.
Chen Mo patted Xiao Jiu on the head and softly said, "Do you want to prepare so food for you? This retreat might last a long ti, you know."
After reaching the Foundation Establishnt, Chen Mo clearly felt that even if he didn’t eat for days, he wouldn’t feel hungry.
He guessed that this must be what’s called fasting.
But whether Xiao Jiu could handle it, he wasn’t sure. He knew Xiao Jiu’s current strength was very formidable; even Ruoqing, who spoke highly of it, felt she wasn’t a match for Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu shook its head, indicating it didn’t need it.
Chen Mo thought about it and still prepared so food. Just in case the ti stretched longer, Xiao Jiu could directly eat in the secret chamber without going out.
...
The True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique is divided into three sections.
The first section is Body Cultivation.
And the Body Cultivation is divided into four modules: Refining the Skin, Refining Tendons, Bone Refining, and Refining the Organs.
Clearly, the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique is a technique for cultivating the physical body.
The thod for Refining the Skin is simple yet extrely painful.
First, all the skin on the body needs to be cut open, then apply the dicinal paste ntioned in the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique, repeating the process several tis to succeed.
Chen Mo certainly wouldn’t cut open all his skin at once; he would need to experint first to see if this thod is indeed effective.
If it’s just a hoax, then it would be in vain.
He first ground the prepared herbal material into a paste and then cut a slit on his arm, swiftly applying the paste onto the wound.
Instantly, an intense pain shot straight up to Chen Mo’s skull, cold sweat covered his head.
It hurt so darn much, even pouring salt on a wound felt nothing compared to this.
Xiao Jiu witnessed this scene, circling around Chen Mo, even cuddling up to his face with its tail, as if to comfort him.
"I’m fine."
This level of pain Chen Mo could endure, and imdiately operated the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique.
Before long, the area covered by the dicinal paste began emitting soft white steam.
Xiao Jiu watched with wide eyes.
No one knew how much ti passed.
Once the paste dried and peeled off, the wound on Chen Mo’s arm had healed, and the newly grown skin was distinctly whiter than the surrounding skin.
Chen Mo condensed his True Qi into a dagger, lightly slicing the new skin, feeling a noticeable resilience.
Clearly, this patch of skin was stronger than before.
They say reaching the step described by the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique ans achieving a level of invulnerability to knives and guns even without True Qi Defense.
This proves the cultivation thod of the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique is indeed useful.
...
Ti flew by, and three days passed.
During these three days, Chen Mo trained his skin twice according to the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique.
In addition to simulating daily, it was counted as 16 tis.
Indeed, while cultivating himself, Chen Mo also simulated, ultimately choosing the skin training experience from three options.
However, to be honest, after breaking through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, each simulation would cost three hundred thousand silver taels or three Low Grade Spirit Stones, which is absurdly expensive.
He still didn’t know what Low Grade Spirit Stones were, but from reading many novels in his past life, he could guess they were so kind of currency from the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
He surely had no Low Grade Spirit Stones, so he could only consu silver taels.
In three days, he used up nine hundred thousand, which was ridiculously expensive.
Fortunately, these nine hundred thousand were not wasted; he felt his skin was almost reaching the level described by the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique, perhaps even stronger, since he possessed the Fighting Saint Body.
Another two days passed.
The Refining the Skin cultivation succeeded.
During these two days, he no longer simulated.
It was too expensive, he couldn’t afford to simulate.
One would need a massive estate to withstand such extravagance.
Next was Refining Tendons.
Once cultivated successfully, it could enhance the body’s resilience, beneficial for body technique evasion.
And the cultivation thod had a striking similarity to Refining the Skin, sever the tendons and reconnect them, then repeat with special herbs for several cycles to succeed.
...
Ti flows like water; the years fly by like a shuttle.
A week flew by in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the reform proposed by Chen Mo, led by Xiao Yunxi, deeply captured the hearts of the people in Bianliang.
With the precedent of King Mu, the nobles dared not violate the laws rashly, and the reform was smoothly implented.
However, there’s a counterasure for every policy.
After reclaiming land, isn’t the Imperial Court supposed to auction it?
When auctioning, I can just buy it back, isn’t that right?
As nobles, they certainly have enough money.
Farrs surely can’t compete with nobles.
If there’s a restriction on nobles not being able to join auctions, then I can bribe a farr, give him money, and have him bid for , isn’t that right?
This thod is discreet and hard to detect.
To this, Xiao Yunxi could only issue orders to set limits.
Set limits on how many acres for each household; once reaching this amount, no more bidding.
Although nobles could buy off several farrs, the cost of being discovered would be high.
Besides this, the goal of the reform has also been achieved.
The barren fields were reclaid.
So farrs acquired their own farmland.
Since Bianliang had shown such efficacy, Xiao Yunxi began to push the reforms toward surrounding counties and cities.
The reform was not limited to reclaiming abandoned fertile lands.
Among them were the Green Seedling Law, Recruitnt Law, and Agricultural Water Conservancy Law, etc.
So-called Green Seedling Law.
During the annual lean periods of February and May, the governnt provided loans and grains to farrs, with two percent or three percent interest every six months, to be repaid with the spring and autumn taxes.
Its impact greatly increased governnt revenue and limited the exploitation of farrs by usurious loans, to so extent easing class conflict.
However, there were also limitations, with mandatory borrowing by farrs and high interest, the farr’s burden remained heavy.
Indeed, Chen Mo drew inspiration from the Song Dynasty’s Wang Anshi reforms of his previous life.
To address these limitations, Xiao Yunxi had ministers modify the Green Seedling Law.
That is, lowering the interest rate to one or two percent, making sure it doesn’t exceed two percent.
Secondly, it’s not mandatory borrowing but becos voluntary behavior for the common people.
...
As the reforms were being rolled out.
News of victory from the Wan Kingdom spread throughout Bianliang.
The barren fields were reclaid.
So farrs acquired their own farmland.
