I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 401 Privileged Fatty
Although the essence of this Ruyi has been sucked out of it, its essence is still extremely high. It was stolen from Yaochi by Princess Wansheng of Bibotan during the Queen Mother of the West's Peach Banquet.

As for whether a little Princess Halloween could go to the Yaochi Palace in Heaven and how she could get the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum in public and under the noses of the gods and Buddhas, it was unclear.

Anyway, this is not a setting made by Xu Jia, it is written like this in Journey to the West.

This is just enough to allow Xu Jia to cosplay once or twice.

"As you wish, as you wish. Just as I wish..." Xu Jia pointed at the full-bellied Zhilong, and it was transformed into a giant green turtle.

The turtle got angry and wanted to bite Xu Jia, but Ruyi turned into a green peacock again.

Xu Jia sat on the green peacock, but almost flattened it. He said secretly, "It's useless." So he clicked again, and it turned into Zhilong again and was swallowed into the stomach again. In the inner blessed land, it continued to have its little temper, and also served as an external medicine to nourish the body.

He called Ao Jin over and asked, "What stage have you reached now?"

Ao Jin said: "During the time when the master was in seclusion for cultivation, we did not expand too much. We only carried out equal distribution of land in Nanchang, Jiujiang, Xinzhou and other places, and also expanded to the south, not to the north."

"In addition, the navy and infantry are also trained. The people in the territory are very motivated. Some of the petty bourgeoisie have also followed Jin Chan's path and turned to sea trade and set up factories."

Xu Jia nodded: "Where is my old father, Mr. Xu Zhiyuan?"

"Mr. Xu is currently guiding farming. Some time ago, he went to visit the railway workers. These workers are young working people who were not allocated land. They have urban household registration and cannot join the army, so they become workers."

Xu Jia counted on his fingers and found that it was already time for summer planting.

"Poyang Lake dried up early this year. Shunji Xiaolongjun said it was a strange phenomenon. However, a lot of aquatic plants grew in the dried-up lake, and it is now used as a horse grazing area."

"The railway is also being built, from Nanchang to Jiujiang."

Before, people had used dragon souls to mix steel with water and fire to create steam engines and even steam bicycles. So, making a large steam locomotive would only require some minor problems to overcome.

Xu Jia nodded, took out the Eight Treasures Merit Sword and shook it, then made an Eight-Section Merit Whip and personally handed it to Xu's father.

When Xu's father saw Xu Jia, he said, "Recently, some people said that the weather is cold and they want me to wear more clothes. I have thought about it for a long time and feel that the privilege is within my reach. But since I have written an article to curse the dragon before, I can't become an evil dragon."

Xu Jia handed the treasure to him and said, "They all have their own thoughts. They are still dreaming of the merits of following the dragon. They haven't even conquered the country yet, but they want to reward them for their merits. How can such a good thing happen?"

"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. It's easy to kill the enemy, but hard to discern the thoughts of the people around you. Dad, this is a treasure of merit that I found for you in another world while traveling in the void. It was originally one of the Eight Treasures of Buddhism. Now I'm giving it to you as a self-defense weapon."

Father Xu took over the Eight-Section Whip of Merit, and Xu Jia secretly said, "I will also cosplay as Yuanshi Tianzun and give Jiang Ziya a divine whip."

"It's made of gold, inlaid with eight treasures!" Father Xu said, "But why is it so light? Is it fake gold? Can it be exchanged for money?"

Just now he was showing his compassion, but now he is completely different. But this is also his true feelings.

Xu Jia said: "This thing is light because it is not turbid gold, but merit turned into mud, and mud is used to refine gold, which is to refine the invisible into the visible. The eight treasures on it also represent eight kinds of good virtues."

After saying this, Xu Jia even wanted to talk about the concept of honor and shame, but then he thought: This is a sword from the previous dynasty, it cannot kill officials of this dynasty, so he gave up and gave Xu's father free rein.

Father Xu played with the Eight-section Merit Whip for a while, swinging it at objects without damaging them, and at plants without leaving any marks: "This thing is useless."

"It is a treasure of merit. It can do good deeds, distinguish good from evil, defeat evil spirits, expel poisonous insects, and disperse curses. If this whip is used on good people, it has the power of blessing. If it is used on patients, it has the effect of strengthening vitality."

"So that's how it's used." Father Xu had also gained some righteousness from reading, and now he had made up his mind and set his goals, following Wang Yangming's approach of the unity of knowledge and action. Naturally, this eight-section whip of merit became a tool for education used by both Buddhists and Confucians.

Father Xu mobilized the little righteous energy in his family, and pointed at the diseased seedlings, and the disease in the seedlings was indeed eliminated.

"This is a benevolent and righteous army." Father Xu said with emotion.

...After leaving Xu's father's place, Xu Jia went to the Salt and Iron Factory again. However, this place is now called "Steel Plant No. 1", a place for steelmaking. Cartloads of coal, iron ore, and some other raw materials are all brought here. The furnaces run day and night, and the steel production has increased dramatically. Taoist priests who refine weapons and Tiangong machinery are all busy here.

The factory director and deputy director were Taoist Guo from Shanju Temple, and Xiao Anzi, the former eunuch in charge of mining taxes. It was he who, based on the information left by Xu Jia, used the soul of a dragon to refine a steam engine magic weapon, and took a path that was neither scientific nor spiritual.

Xiao Anzi received a golden pill from Xu Jia some time ago, and has begun to practice to become a "celestial being", which is genderless. Now he has gradually achieved results. He has become taller, like a man, but has a more feminine face, like a woman, just like the Bodhisattva statues in the Dunhuang Grottoes.

"This is a flying sword that can be refined and controlled at the Human Immortal Realm. I got it from another realm. There is also a method to practice sword techniques. I have made some preliminary improvements. I only need to mix steel with cinnabar, sulfur and other substances to refine a third-rate flying sword called the Green Steel Sword."

"Our steel production is high, which means that this third-rate flying sword can be mass-produced and equipped to every Taoist soldier."

After Xu Jia finished speaking, he took out a steel ingot and hammered it with both hands. Clinking and dangling, in less than half an incense stick of time, he produced a flying sword made of green steel in his hands.

"This flying sword is only an elementary technique. There will be more advanced ones later, but they have not been found yet. In addition, there are several martial arts books here, which are about using martial arts to enter the Tao and become sword immortals. Those Taoist soldiers may not have much skills, and they are not mature yet. In theory, you still have to practice first. This practice method is not contradictory to your current method of sitting in meditation and visualizing breathing and gathering qi. You can practice them at the same time, but breathing and gathering qi are more nourishing and prolonging life, while those who practice martial arts to achieve innate skills are more inclined to fighting."

Taoist Guo's eyes lit up: "Is this really such a cheap flying sword technique?"

Xiao Anzi was not very interested: "Master, I am currently researching a steam engine that does not require water, that is, an internal combustion engine. Boiling water is still too low-level... burning fire is more efficient... let others study the flying sword technique."

"Every profession has its specialties, so just focus on these." Xu Jia is not an amateur, nor is he a black-hearted boss. He will not let one person do the work of ten people.

Although Taoist Guo has sharp eyes, he mainly focuses on the art of firearms and also practices Tiangang Thunder Method. Although thunder method and flying swords do not conflict, this is not a top-notch flying sword after all, but only a third-rate flying sword, which will distract him.

So he thought: "There are many craftsmen in the Salt and Iron Institute who make weapons. Why not teach them first and let them form a research group on their own? Those who have achieved results first will be promoted to specialize in flying swords."

"Okay, you can arrange these on your own." Xu Jia said: "But you must pay attention to it, this may be the key to changing the world situation."

After leaving the steel plant, Xu Jia remembered that he had a Taoist country in Luzon, which was presided over by Xiaopang. However, he was too lazy to make another trip there, so he just used the Thousand Mile Courtyard Miniature Technique to call Xiaopang.

But I saw that the fat boy had changed shape, vaguely resembling a loyal general, white, plump, and strong. The results of his previous efforts to lose weight had turned into thick fat. His chin had even become rounded.

This made Xu Jia very angry, but he did not lose his temper on the spot. He only used the method of observing the situation to see how Lu Song was doing now.

Lusong Island, now named "Song", is the "Viscount's Country". It was established using the methods of the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The treasure used to establish the country and its religion is the dragon-shaped imperial jade, the treasure of the Huangtian Sect.

Nowadays, the "Lingbao teachings" are practiced on the island of Luzon. Everyone is given the Lingbao Taoist talisman, and everyone practices, but everyone's level of practice is not high.

Looking carefully, it turns out that those who have mastered the wood method go to farm, those who have mastered the water method go to build water conservancy projects, those who have mastered the civil engineering method go to work in engineering, those who have mastered the fire method go to work in smelters, and those who have mastered the wind method go to work as sailors...

All kinds of workers in various trades and professions are production-type practitioners. The only combat-type practitioners who leave their jobs to support themselves are the "study abroad Taoist children".

Since the purpose of practicing is to work better, it is better to have a good sleep than to practice diligently at night. There are few people who are aware of the need to practice hard to reach the Earth Immortal level.

Moreover, it takes five hundred years of accumulation of magical power to reach the Earthly Immortal stage, and some insights into Taoism. Among ten thousand practitioners, nine thousand may be stuck in the early stage of Human Immortal practice and remain in the Small Circulation until death. Nine hundred and ninety are stuck in the Big Circulation. Less than ten can achieve perfect Human Immortal status, and breaking through to the Earthly Immortal stage depends on chance and luck. Unless one is personally enlightened by an authentic Daluo disciple like Xu Jia, otherwise, like Xu Jia's previous life, the founder of Shanju Temple, they had to go through many life-threatening situations before they could achieve some success in their practice.

Since the Earth Immortal Stage is so difficult, and everyone is about the same at the Human Immortal Stage, I can just go on with my life as usual, but I don’t want to work hard anymore.

The most important thing is that Japan used to harass them frequently, but after Xu Jia killed all the leaders of the Changsheng Sect, there were basically no threats in the surrounding areas.

Born in adversity, die in comfort, that's all.

After finding out the cause, Xu Jia still unilaterally put the blame on Xiaopang, not wanting to be a hands-off boss who didn't care about anything.

"Xiao Pang is my eldest disciple, but he is content with a small fortune. It is too comfortable here. He needs to be given a new working environment. Someone else should be in charge here."

Xu Jia already has a candidate in mind.
