The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Qin Hao did not buy the Dream of the Red Chamber, but he himself remembers the story quite clearly.

Even the world of Swallowed Star has a Dream of Red Mansions.

However, after the Great Nirvana, it was not widely circulated.

However, many scholars still collected them.

However, Qin Hao's hearing still picked up the sound of someone asking about the price of the Red Mansion in the alley that Wang Qinian had entered earlier.

Qin Hao smiled, but suddenly remembered that he seemed to know how to make money.

"Being a plagiarist isn't bad, but you can't plagiarize products from the original first world of Earth, since Fan Xian can't find out."

The scene of the time traveler meeting the awakened one.

When a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, tears well up in his eyes?

It's hard to say whether the two are from the same hometown.

Whether it's a parallel universe or a different universe, there are quite a few Earths.

It's just a name; history and literature are only somewhat similar.

They are definitely not exactly the same.

However, on second thought, Qin Hao realized, "Actually, it's okay if Fan Xian finds out."

I just don't really want to get involved, but it's not that I can't get involved.

This world is strange; the world after the nuclear explosion is full of radiation.

The internal energy was redirected, becoming somewhat strange.

And that temple, it has a lot of high technology inside.

Although it cannot compare to the advanced technology of the Swallowed Star world, after all, the spaceships in the Swallowed Star world can reach speeds many times faster than light, and there are black holes and other things that can be utilized.

The technology of this world is far inferior.

Qin Hao had no idea what strange things were inside the temple.

Many secrets are hidden within the snow-capped mountains of the north.

Qin Hao decided to go in and take a look.

But not now.

After returning to the Imperial College, Qin Hao went back to his dormitory.

After resting for a while, Qin Hao found paper and pen, thought about it, and finally decided not to directly copy the original world's famous works from the beginning.

If it weren't for Fan Xian, it wouldn't matter, since it wouldn't be exposed anyway.

But isn't this Fan Xian?
When fellow villagers meet, and they find themselves copying each other's work, how embarrassing is that?
Qin Hao felt that, at the very least, he couldn't intentionally die.

Or, at least wait until Fan Xianshe dies once, and you see it with your own eyes, before considering these things.

Before long, Qin Hao found several books about talented men and beautiful women and copied them down one by one.

Then, I went out and found a bookstore, and sold those stories.

Qin Hao has good calligraphy skills; he's honed them over the years in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

It uses the Liu style, which is balanced, slender and firm, with a decisive and resolute force. The strokes are crisp and elegant, with strong bones and a tight structure.

Both the He Yan style and the Yan style have their own advantages.

Qin Hao was quite satisfied with the twenty taels of silver he had brought back.

As for what happened next, he didn't plan to get involved any further.

As for making money by selling books?
Let's wait and see; we need to consider this matter further.

"The plot has a certain inertia. And I don't plan to get involved, so I don't plan to go to Danzhou."

It's still early, and it's not time for Fan Xian to return yet.

It will only take a few years; Qin Hao can develop his skills gradually.

He is still considering how he should develop in this world.

They really don't care at all, treating this place directly as a time accelerator for refining treasures.

We should still intervene a little and help develop this world as well.

Will it be promoted to the Middle Thousand World in the future?
Qin Hao hasn't made up his mind yet.

He read this book many times back then.

Although inwardly I was cursing Ye Qingmei, what kind of talk was it that she could see through all the men in the world?

But she doesn't seem to have done anything good either.

The money earned by the Imperial Treasury was all used by Emperor Qing to maintain his rule.

Ye Qingmei's hope that everyone could be like a dragon, under strict laws and with everyone equal, is simply impossible.

Her consciousness was ultimately limited; under the feudal dynasty, there was an emperor.

Royal families cannot possibly ensure equality for all.

In addition, the struggle for the throne inevitably drew ordinary people in as well.

However, before Ye Qingmei possessed the body, she was just an ordinary female engineering student. To have achieved this much is already quite impressive.

After all, an ordinary person who has just transmigrated is ultimately out of step with the ancient society in terms of ideology.

She truly deserves praise for achieving what she has today.

It's just that the wrong person was chosen.

A modern person actually places all his emotions on a tyrant.

Princess Li Yunrui did this much better than her.

Although that woman was also a madwoman.

"It can only be said that Emperor Qing's charm is so captivating that it's easy for women to become infatuated with him."

Normally, Qin Hao also needs to cultivate martial arts, which is his source of strength and the foundation of his own safety.

In addition, Qin Hao still needs to explore Confucianism and Taoism.

Although I had pondered the methods of Confucian and Taoist cultivation countless times in my mind, this was my first time practicing them in person, so I was still somewhat unfamiliar with them.

In fact, Confucian and Taoist cultivation emphasizes a righteous spirit.

"Furthermore, it seems that the cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism is also related to fortune."

This is a fact that Qin Hao gradually discovered as he began to cultivate Confucianism and Taoism.

"But if that's the case, then the imperial examination system becomes somewhat unavoidable."

Originally, Qin Hao had no intention of continuing the scientific expedition.

However, Confucian and Taoist practices actually involve the concept of Qi and destiny.

It's not that one can't cultivate oneself without good fortune. Many old masters recited the classics every day, gained wisdom, and made great progress in Confucianism and Taoism.

This is an understanding of the classics and the Tao.

Luck is like an accelerator; it's not essential, but having it can accelerate things.

Qin Hao was new to Confucian and Taoist cultivation, so naturally he had to consider and try both.

So Qin Hao also started attending classes at the Imperial College.

In reality, the Imperial Academy was no longer so strict in managing these students who were about to take the exam.

Apart from the monthly exams to assess the students' progress, their other studies were left to their own judgment.

Qin Hao had studied before, but he had never participated in a scientific expedition.

So I would occasionally come to class to hear news about this from the various teachers.

In fact, he was multitasking, both of which involved reciting classic texts.

"This is?"

Qin Hao suddenly sensed something strange, as if something was approaching.

After examining it, Qin Hao was surprised to find: "It's actually the power of incense offerings?"

He experimented with this thing in worlds like The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Incense is poisonous and cannot be absorbed directly.

He was just a little puzzled as to where this mental power came from.

However, these challenges were no obstacle for Qin Hao, as Buddhism teaches the concept of three bodies.

The manifested body, the reward body, and the Dharma body.

The Dharmakaya is the intertwining of Dharma principles, and it reigns supreme in the Buddha realm.

The reward body is the body of karmic retribution, possessing immeasurable power, manifesting itself before people.

The response body is the manifestation of cause and effect, completing a causal cycle.

To put it simply, the Dharmakaya is the fundamental principle, which is woven from one's own Dharma principles, allowing one to sit peacefully, cultivate, and comprehend within the Buddha's realm.

The Sambhogakaya is the manifestation of oneself before others, making one's own image known.

The manifestation is for carrying out tasks, but the duration of its existence is determined by the principles and power provided by the person who created it, as well as the materials and the tasks to be undertaken.

He was a temporary worker.

In addition, there is a golden statue.

However, the golden body is a means for practitioners to cultivate themselves. The Buddhist community uses it to purify incense offerings, so that the poison of incense offerings will not contaminate the Dharma and pollute their own cultivation.

Qin Hao had also cultivated a golden body, so he naturally absorbed the incense offerings directly.

Qin Hao quickly understood.

"It actually originated from the stories we submitted before, which means there are genuinely loyal readers who genuinely like the stories and believe in their authenticity. And they sincerely hope that the stories will have a happy ending."

Qin Hao understood something, but also found it somewhat amusing.

He hadn't expected it; it would just be a matter of writing a few stories, just like the online novel authors in the first world.

Surprisingly, one can also gain the power of incense offerings.

"At the same time, it seems to be a kind of luck."

With united will, we can overcome any obstacle; the will of the people is the will of Heaven.

Qin Hao gained new insights into things like fortune and popular sentiment.

"That's not bad either."

Qin Hao smiled. Just then, the teacher finished his lecture and get out of class was over.

The others left one by one.

Qin Hao glanced at the desk in front of him and said, "My books and writing materials are all ready."

On the desk, the books automatically closed and then flew back into the book box.

The same applies to the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone; they automatically gather themselves up and then fly back into the book box.

"The Confucian principle that words become law is quite useful."

In fact, this type of magic is somewhat similar to great prophecy, which is essentially an application of luck and power.

Qin Hao found it very useful; at least for everyday life, it reduced a lot of trouble.

"It looks like a home version of magic."

Qin Hao didn't mind, picked up his book box and left.

The following days were peaceful. Qingdu had never been peaceful, but these disturbances had no impact on him, a student of the Imperial Academy who never left.

Of course, Qin Hao would occasionally leave the Imperial Academy to sell his stories at bookstores.

This is a trivial matter.

But in Qingdu, it stirred up some trouble.

Because of his good story, the bookstore made a lot of money.

In order to win over the author of this story, the publishing house had to increase his royalties.

Even a year later, they still gave us a 10% bonus.

The story Qin Hao provided was truly excellent; it was a story chosen from the world of Swallowed Star, perfectly suited to this ancient society.

Qin Hao was merely a plagiarist, but these stories never appeared in this world, which is why he was given the title of "author".

At the end of the year, Qin Hao bought a manor outside the city.

People were coming and going around him, many of whom were actually Silver Guards.

These Silver Guardians are quite useful; using them as bodyguards seems a bit of a waste.

Others included servants purchased from brokerage firms.

If the story sells well, the income will naturally be substantial.

With the addition of some silver smuggled from other worlds, Qin Hao had no shortage of things.

The following year, Qin Hao opened a shop, selling glass products and paper, among other things.

He also owns a bookstore and sells some stories. Stories are the least of his worries; someone from the entire universe is backing him up.

There are also more people around me now.

Qin Hao can naturally guarantee the loyalty of those around him because he provides benefits that others can never offer.

Martial arts techniques and medicinal cuisine were provided to them for their martial arts practice.

Furthermore, since they hold their indentures, they dare not betray them easily.

Meanwhile, as lights illuminate every home, everyone is already immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year.

Qin Hao sat down, and servants naturally brought the food up.

Qin Hao used it only briefly before having it removed.

These are ordinary meals, and we only sample them briefly.

If he really wanted to eat, he had many cultivators in Qinghe Bay in the Qianyang Realm who specialized in cooking and prepared various spiritual dishes. These dishes not only tasted good, but were also quite beneficial to cultivation.

He never missed a single day.

After everyone left, Qin Hao returned to his room.

The beds here are all ready, but Qin Hao is not in a hurry to go to bed and rest.

"The martial arts of this world do have their merits. But in fact, they are all derived from radiation. However, in general, they are not fundamentally different from the martial arts of the Legend of the Condor Heroes world. They still follow the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians."

After cultivating for several cycles, Qin Hao recalled that in the original novel, Fan Xian incorporated the snow-capped mountains behind his waist into his cultivation system.

The martial arts of this world store internal energy in the dantian (energy center).

The snow-capped mountain behind the waist is actually not far from the Qi Sea.

Fan Xian accidentally incorporated the snow mountain behind his waist into his system, but only as another dantian for storing his internal energy.

This gives Fan Xian significantly more internal strength than others, and coupled with the characteristics of his domineering true qi, he is naturally able to defeat enemies of higher levels.

"However, Fan Xian is actually wasting a lot of resources. This snow mountain behind the waist is actually a node of the hidden vein. Now that it has been discovered, we can start from the snow mountain behind the waist to develop the hidden vein."

The world has yin and yang, and there is explicitness and implicitness.

The twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians are the visible meridians, while the lower back and other areas are the hidden meridians.

After Qin Hao discovered this, he naturally wouldn't let it go. After some attempts, the internal energy stored in his body also increased significantly.

"This method can also be applied to other worlds like The Legend of the Condor Heroes. At that time, we can select some reliable people to pass it on."

Feeling the internal energy within his body, Qin Hao nodded.

"Now, not counting the hidden veins, I am considered to be at the upper sixth rank. Although it is a bit slow, it is because I have spent most of my time exploring the cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism."

Qin Hao wasn't in a hurry; although a sixth-rank expert wasn't considered a peerless master.

Moreover, in this world, anyone with superior martial arts skills, coupled with ample resources, can cultivate to the seventh rank, even if they are pigs.

But it's much more difficult to reach the seventh rank or higher.

Where do ordinary people get sufficient resources?
Even the imperial guards in the palace were only of the fifth rank or higher.

Ordinary people have even fewer resources.

The poor are only fit to study; the rich are only fit to read.

But in reality, even education is difficult for poor people.

If it weren't for his extraordinary talent, it would have been difficult for him to enter the Imperial Academy after losing both his parents and having no clan to help him.

However, the idea of ​​learning martial arts is out of the question.

Not to mention that there simply aren't enough resources to support martial arts training.

He couldn't even obtain martial arts techniques in the first place.

Some basic martial arts skills could be learned from the Imperial Academy's library, but due to a lack of resources, he has been unable to master them.

Until he awakened.

The year passed quickly.

There is still some time before the Imperial College opens.

On a whim, Qin Hao ordered his servants to prepare a meal, planning a picnic.

They originally lived on a manor outside the city, so they didn't have to go too far for outings.

Now that he has some assets, he is naturally surrounded by a retinue when he travels.

Qin Hao rode in a carriage, with a maid named Yinping beside him.

The silver bottle's strength is comparable to, if not greater than, Qin Hao's current strength.

She has excellent talent, and with Qin Hao's generous resources, she is now at the peak that ordinary people can achieve.

The stage within the seventh rank.

As for Qin Hao, he's simply not in a hurry.

Yin Ping's current cultivation level was certainly not achieved within a year.

Instead, it was because Qin Hao secretly used the Time Palace to accelerate time for her.

In fact, it took her four years.

This is Yinping's destiny. From being a commodity sold arbitrarily by a brokerage firm, she has now, although still a maid, lived a life almost like that of a landlord's daughter.

Aside from occasionally having to help Qin Hao with his dressing and washing, Yinping's life was no less comfortable than that of the daughters of officials and nobles.

Qin Hao is not short of money, he is comfortable using Yin Ping, and she is very loyal, so why should he be stingy?
Suddenly, the sounds of fighting broke out.

Qin Hao frowned: "Yinping, what happened up ahead?"

In fact, Qin Hao could have directly used the Primordial Spirit Eye to observe, or he could have used his divine sense directly.

However, Qin Hao did not use it casually, but asked directly.

The guards surrounded the carriage, clearly having noticed the situation ahead.

Yinping said, "Young master, it seems that the young ladies from wealthy families in Qingdu are on a spring outing and have been targeted by bandits."

Are there really bandits near Qingdu?

Then the Imperial Guards are in for a rough time.

"Oh, right, one of them seems to be Fan Ruoruo, the daughter of the Si Nanbo Fan family, and the daughter of the Ye family..."

Although Yinping was a maid, she had received training.

There was also some intelligence in the manor, which Yinping had naturally read and knew the daughters of these wealthy families.

In the world of Joy of Life, there is no rule that young ladies from noble families must never leave their homes.

Fan Ruoruo is also known as a talented woman of Qingdu.

If she never leaves the house, how will this talented woman's fame spread?

Of course, some of Fan Ruoruo's talent came from Fan Xian's novel, Dream of the Red Chamber.

"In that case, have the guards go and help."

Since we've already met, let's help each other out beforehand, or even just make some contact.

This can be considered a friendship.

Although we haven't decided what to do in this world yet, there are some things we need to prepare in advance.

Qin Hao probably had no intention of overthrowing Emperor Qing and becoming emperor himself.

"However, pushing Fan Xian out is not a bad idea."

Although in the original story, it was the third prince who ascended the throne.

But in fact, Fan Xian assassinated Emperor Qing and was a strong contender for the throne.

However, the other party ultimately chose to live in seclusion, which Qin Hao felt was not a very good choice.

Born into royalty and with military support, he relinquished the throne to someone else.

Have you not heard that when one possesses a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises spontaneously?

When the Third Prince first ascended the throne, perhaps out of fear, gratitude, or some other reason, he would not have any designs on Fan Xian.

But after he had been emperor for two years, and Fan Xian had become a powerful figure with his own army, he was essentially living in seclusion and ruling over his own territory.

Could the emperor tolerate this?

In other words, the original story didn't continue, otherwise the ending would have been a complete mess.

As for the ambitions Ye Qingmei mentioned, they were even more laughable.

Fan Xian, this time traveler, also failed to fulfill his mother's wish.

It can only be said that Fan Xian's abilities are also limited, which is due to his own personality traits.

But Qin Hao felt that the other party was not beyond redemption.

If possible, Qin Hao thought that pushing the other party onto the emperor's throne might achieve his goal.

In just a short while, the guards had slaughtered all the bandits.

Fan Ruoruo and the others came over to express their gratitude: "Thank you for your help, sir."

When Qin Hao stepped out of the car, his handsome appearance and refined demeanor instantly stunned the ladies.

"There's no need for that. I was just out for a stroll when I saw this and naturally couldn't ignore it."

After a few pleasantries, Qin Hao took his leave.

Although there are no rules in the world of Joy of Life that forbid women from going out or seeing men outside the home.

But it's not good to have too much contact with them.

After all, he's a man from outside the family.

Watching Qin Hao get into the car and leave, Fan Ruoruo and the others had mixed feelings.

Yinping stood to the side and said to Fan Ruoruo, "My young master instructed me to take a few guards and escort the young ladies back to Qingdu."

Yinping was a maid, and no one would object to her presence.

Also, bring a few guards, so that Fan Ruoruo and the others don't not know Yin Ping's strength and think that Qin Hao is incompetent.

Fan Ruoruo was a generous person, so she naturally thanked her and then gladly accepted the gift.

The guards they brought with them were either dead or wounded; there will be follow-up arrangements to be made after they return.

Their return to the city caused quite a stir.

Qingdu is the capital of the Qing Kingdom, and it is rumored that a Grandmaster is stationed there.

Several noble ladies went out for a spring outing, but unexpectedly encountered mountain bandits.

This whole thing seems strange no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, Fan Jian and the others immediately used their own resources to investigate.

The appearance of Qin Hao also puzzled Fan Jian and others, and they focused their investigation on him.

"Go and investigate Qin Hao's situation."

What a coincidence! The bandits came out, and he arrived just in time.

Although Qin Hao did save people and was kind to them.

Who knows if it was done on purpose?

High-ranking families are accustomed to intrigue and scheming.

They are not like young women like Fan Ruoruo, who can be easily deceived.

But no matter how his subordinates investigated, they couldn't find any problems.

Qin Hao has a very simple social network and rarely befriends others.

About a year ago, I suddenly started writing a book, and then the story became a bestseller, so I made some money.

After that, he bought a manor, hired servants, and opened shops and a bookstore.

It seems surprising, but upon closer examination, these things seem to make perfect sense.

But Fan Jian and his associates were shrewd and cunning, and naturally they wouldn't give up so easily.

Although they didn't find any fault with Qin Hao, they were all wary of him.

Qin Hao was naturally unaware of these things.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

Having their own powerful weapons, they are naturally not afraid of conspiracies and tricks.

By the time his outing was over, Yinping had already returned with her entourage.

They also brought back some news.

"Qingdu is also rife with undercurrents now, and this incident is probably not a coincidence."

There must have been someone instigating this, but we don't know who it is.

Qin Hao didn't care much about these things and just let his men investigate.

"Young Master, Lord Fan, the Marquis of Sinan, has sent someone with a gift of gratitude." (End of Chapter)
