My ability pool is superior to others

"I hope the Lord will forgive my sin of neglect."

The two Heavenly Lords walked and apologized in a hurry.

It was because Lu Bai did not issue the decree in advance that they did not have time to arrange the reception.

But in front of Lu Bai, these two casual cultivators absolutely did not have the courage to say anything bad about him, and they didn't even dare to think about it in their hearts.

On the contrary, the people around the store fell into a state of extreme fanaticism after confirming Lu Bai's identity.

Without anyone taking the lead, they all knelt down in front of Lu Bai while shouting "loyalty".

Just like in the feudal period, no matter how hard life was for the common people, they would not think that the emperor was bad. At most, they thought that it was the officials below who were causing trouble.

From the perspective of human nature, this fantasy about the top has, to some extent, approached the realm of belief.

Only by believing this can you have hope and the courage to continue living.

And Lu Bai's current image in the minds of these mortals is even more exaggerated than this kind of belief in imperial power.

In the true sense, there is only one saint in the world, and his light will shine forever.

Lu Bai raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

When the situation calmed down a little, he released his magical power and helped up the mortals and monks who were kneeling on the ground in a gentle but irrefutable way.

"If you have evil intentions, burning incense will do no good. If you are upright, what's the harm in not bowing to me?"

Lu Bai had a kind smile on his face, showing his friendliness: "Seeing that everyone is doing well, I feel relieved."

After he finished speaking, a beam of light formed by magic power appeared under his feet. He walked on the light, as if shrinking the distance into an inch. In just a few steps, his figure disappeared into the clouds.

"Congratulations to the Heavenly Lord!"

"Congratulations to the Heavenly Lord!"

"loyalty!!"

The shouts of the people and monks below mixed together, making it quite noisy and lively. After Lu Bai's reminder, no one knelt down again.

……

The wind blew through the streets, carrying with it the pungent smell of coal slag.

In order to avoid being choked by the smell, many pedestrians couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.

With reckless industrialization, many cities have experienced varying degrees of pollution.

In areas with serious pollution, if you go out for a walk and then come back and wipe it with a tissue, you will find black impurities.

"Cough cough!"

The owner of a grocery store coughed for a while, covered his mouth with his hands, shrank his neck, lifted the collar of his new shirt, and roughly covered his mouth and nose.

He staggered out of the store and posted the newly written recruitment information on the side of the store door.

Seeing this, an acquaintance from the store next door teased, "Boss Zhou, you offer such good treatment, but you still can't recruit anyone?"

Hearing this, Boss Zhou sighed helplessly: "Alas, there is nothing we can do. The Lord is too kind to those peasants. In the past, they would have been lucky to have something to eat. My salary is provided with food and lodging, so I would have been robbed like crazy. Now no one even cares about me. Tell me what happened."

"That's right. I advise you not to hire any more workers, or the profit won't be enough to pay the employees."

"This labor law." Boss Zhou clicked his tongue twice, his tone adding a bit of self-mockery: "I opened a shop on the street, but when I calculated the money I made, I might as well find a job in a factory."

"What's the saying? If you don't open a store, there are plenty of people who will."

"If the Lord could have some pity on us bosses and change the labor law... Hey? Taoist priest, please come into the store. What do you want to buy?"

Boss Zhou was talking halfway when he accidentally saw Lu Bai standing still. He didn't bother to chat with his acquaintance and immediately started to attract him enthusiastically.

Lu Bai smiled and waved his hands: "I'm not buying it, you guys chat."

Without waiting for Boss Zhou to respond, Lu Bai turned around and left. The moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared a little.

As the reform progresses, it is inevitable that drawbacks in various aspects of the law will begin to emerge.

In fact, under the spontaneous regulation mechanism of the market economy, the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, will itself emerge.

Strictly speaking, equality for all is also anti-human.

The more severely they suppress it, the stronger the rebound will be after Lu Bai leaves.

Even if it was anticipated, when you really experience it, you will still feel a strong sense of frustration and can't help but doubt the meaning of change.

Especially in a world where great power belongs to oneself, it is of little significance even if people's minds are liberated and their wisdom is enlightened.

After all, the weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons. The monks may not be able to refute the thoughts of mortals, but they can eliminate opposing opinions from a physical level.

Eliminate the mind and enslave the body.

It won't take too long. After a few generations of mortals, they will return to a state worse than pigs and dogs, and maybe even worse than before.

You know, the lifespan of several generations of ordinary people is at most one or two hundred years, which is not as long as that of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.

Lu Bai sighed lightly, there is no eternal strong man, nor immortal thoughts.

Even if he was willing and could stay in this world forever, he could not guarantee that his thoughts would remain unchanged.

……

Return to Qingwang Sect.

He landed on the Questioning Stone in the square in front of the temple and sat cross-legged.

Lu Bai took out a jade slip and put his spiritual consciousness into it.

This jade slip records a magical power called the Dayan Immortal Technique.

As the magical power that guards the Tianji Pavilion, normally only the true disciples of the Tianji Pavilion are qualified to practice it.

However, it is not that difficult for Lu Bai to get it.

After all, it's the bigger fist that has the final say. Compared with breaking the inheritance, showing off the pavilion's magical power to others is nothing.

After all, practicing this kind of supernatural power requires quite high qualifications, and 99% of cultivators find it difficult to get started.

Of course, this is not a problem for Lu Bai.

"The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and one of the human escapes..."

The full text of this magical power consisted of several thousand words. Lu Bai quickly finished reading it and after a simple study according to the records, he was able to perform it roughly.

From the name, we can guess that this Dayan Immortal Technique is not used for attacking and killing, but is a magical power to predict the future and avoid danger and seek good fortune.

The reason why he practiced this magical power was because he did not plan to stay in this death arena for a long time.

The most time-saving way to confirm the results of this large-scale social experiment is to use deduction.

"Try it first."

Lu Bai clasped his hands together, calmed down, and slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, magical power surged around his body, and immortal energy evaporated outside his body, flowing with a hazy glow.

The first time he performed the deduction, Lu Bai didn't quite understand how much effort he needed to put in. In order to avoid failure, he simply put most of his magic power into it.

In a trance, time seemed to speed up, and a thousand years passed in a moment.

In a state that was half dream and half awake, a scene of desolation emerged in Lu Bai's mind.

Desolate, dilapidated, and uninhabited, he could vaguely smell the odor of decay from this picture. (End of this chapter)
