Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, three hundred years have passed since the Ming Dynasty officially announced the entry into a new era of the 'Spiritual Root Cultivation System'.

The Great Ming Dynasty also arrived in the 2226th year of Jiajing.

During these three hundred years, the spiritual root system is undoubtedly the most popular system in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The old era's innate cultivation system has long been gradually abolished and abandoned.

Except for a few conservative immortal cultivation families and individuals who still hold on to the traditional life system, almost everyone has begun to use spiritual roots for cultivation.

The main thing is that the spiritual root system is convenient and fast.

The most important thing is that for the current Ming Dynasty, the spiritual root system is the most suitable system for ordinary people to cultivate immortality.

If it were still the previous innate cultivation system, it would almost ruin the path to immortality for many cultivators from poor families.

The innate cultivation system, at the very beginning, is no different from the spiritual root cultivation system.

But after the foundation-building period, the difference between the two becomes obvious. The natal system needs to find the natal object, then polish the natal object, feed back to the natal system, and finally the natal system feeds back to itself.

In fact, this system also has its advantages. It increases the possibility of most people embarking on the path to immortality.

Even, as long as there are enough resources, one can become an immortal.

What you gain here you will lose here. This also means that if you don't have "money" and resources, you still won't go far on the path of cultivating immortals.

But the spiritual root system is not like this.

First of all, the monk does not need to look for or polish his natal object.

In this way, a lot of future burden and investment can be saved for yourself and even the whole family.

Spiritual roots can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation on their own.

Some people with excellent spiritual roots can cultivate even faster.

The most important thing is that the spiritual root system can be cultivated using spiritual stones.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are a large number of spiritual stones.

Before, even in the world of immortal cultivation that had existed for countless years, the mining of spirit stones was only a small part, mainly because spirit stones were poisonous and harmful to immortal cultivators.

But now, the emergence of the spiritual root system has completely solved the problem of the harm caused by spiritual stones.

As a result, spiritual stones, which are more effective than spiritual sources and are more numerous as cultivation resources, are becoming more and more popular.

As a result, the spiritual root system has become increasingly popular.

Not only that, during these three hundred years, the imperial court also carried out detailed classifications based on the quality of the spiritual roots to make the spiritual root system more complete.

For example, the most common one is the spiritual attribute, which has five major attributes: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Basically, the same is true for the natal spiritual energy. The spiritual root is evolved from the natal, so there are naturally five major spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots of different attributes are divided into four types: low, medium, high and top quality.

Of course, there are also some special mutated spiritual roots.

For example, thunder spiritual roots, ice spiritual roots, wind spiritual roots and so on.

There are also some five elements spiritual roots, and some more special ones, such as heavenly spiritual roots, earthly spiritual roots, etc. The so-called heavenly and earthly spiritual roots are the general term for the previous conceptual destiny.

Some special spiritual roots give monks special physiques.

In short, the people of all races in the Ming Dynasty are never tired of the in-depth practice and research on the spiritual root system.

However, the more we go in depth and as time goes by, problems begin to arise.

Even some naturally perceptive people have realized that the spiritual root system may not be as perfect as the court claims.

It seems that it also has some disadvantages? !

……

The world of cultivating immortals.

Big Dipper, Tianshu star region.

The immortal cultivation sect, the Daxuan Sect.

At this time, the bluestone square was crowded with people, and the faint blue light reflected by the spirit-testing stele was so bright that Lin Yan could not open his eyes.

The spiritual testing stele, as the name suggests, is used to test spiritual roots.

Before, in the era of the natal system, there was a natal reflection instrument that could reveal the natal chart of a newborn.

Nowadays, in the era of spiritual root system, there is naturally a corresponding existence to detect the quality of spiritual roots.

"I must become a disciple!" Lin Yan's knuckles turned white as he grasped the corner of his clothes. Looking at the spiritual lights of the disciples in front of him, which were as bright as the stars or as colorful as rainbows, his nails dug deeply into his palms.

At this moment, he was extremely nervous.

Before him, many people had been refused entry because of the low quality of their spiritual roots.

"Next one, Lin Yan."

Hearing this, Lin Yan took a deep breath, calmed himself, walked forward to the spirit-testing stele, and felt the cool touch on his dantian.

"Wow!" A turbid gray mist suddenly appeared on the surface of the stele, like stale cigarette ash scraped from the bottom of a pot, with a few dark red rust spots floating in it, and a few small words appeared on the spirit-testing stele.

“A mixed spiritual root among mixed spiritual roots…” The deacon elder shook his head and sighed, flicked his sleeves and turned around, saying: “The earth spiritual root is not like the earth spiritual root, and the fire spiritual root is not like the fire spiritual root. It is simply unheard of. I am afraid that it can’t even draw Qi into the body. Sigh, go down…”

"Boom!" When Lin Yan heard the words "mixed spiritual roots", his body shook involuntarily and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Take him down, give him some money, and send him home." Seeing that Lin Yan seemed to be stunned, the elder sighed and shook his head, raised his hand, and a ray of light shot into Lin Yan's brow.

"Swoosh!" A disciple stepped forward and caught Lin Yan's falling body.

"In the first three hundred years of the spiritual root system, there were many geniuses, but they were those who were vaccinated with spiritual root vaccines. The descendants of cultivators who came after that had fewer high-quality spiritual roots..."

"And this situation is not unique to our Qing Sect. Many sects and families in the world of immortal cultivation are like this. Could it be that there are drawbacks in the spiritual root system?"

"...Hiss!" Thinking so in his heart, the elder subconsciously took a breath and then shuddered violently.

He didn't dare to speculate recklessly. If there were drawbacks in the spiritual root system, and if this news got out of his mouth, no, it got out of the Qing Sect, what would the sect face next?
"Next!" The elder who had calmed down continued to speak to the boys and girls below with an expressionless face.

……

Southern Dipper Star Region, Xuantian Sect.

At this time, it was the day when Xuantian Sect recruited disciples once every three years.

"The meridians are broken like a sieve, and the spiritual roots are mottled like rust." The words of the Xuantian Sect elder were like an iron brush scraping across Su Qing's eardrums.

She lowered her head and stared at her toes. The calluses from collecting herbs in the back mountain made her palms itch. In front of the spirit-testing monument, the water and wood spirit roots that should have blossomed brilliantly now looked like rotten leaves eaten by insects, with five of the seven main veins broken.

"It's a pity to waste your talent in medicine." The elder sighed and threw an outer disciple token to him, "Go to the medicine garden and be a handyman."

"Yes, thank you, Elder..." Su Qing pursed her lips and still took the token happily.

"Alas, I don't know what's going on. The disciples I've recruited over the years have been getting worse and worse."

"There are fewer and fewer children with high-quality spiritual roots. Is it a problem with the spiritual root system, or is it..." Looking at the back of the girl Su Qing, the elder sighed and shook his head.

The only thing that comforted him was that in the entire world of cultivating immortals, almost all the sects encountered this problem when recruiting disciples, that is, in the past three hundred years, the disciples recruited were all worse than the previous ones.

The disciples who were recruited after the initial vaccination were more and more people with high-quality spiritual roots.

Geniuses emerge one after another.

However, as time went by, when the descendants of the monks who were inoculated with spiritual roots appeared, each generation was inferior to the previous one.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the spiritual root system? It is not like the innate immortal cultivation system, with infinite potential?" Thinking of this, the elder shuddered violently, not daring to think about it too deeply.

"Let's wait and see how the court handles this..."

The same situation began to happen constantly throughout the world of immortal cultivation and even throughout the entire world of the Ming Dynasty.

One after another, news appeared on the spiritual network, and then was erased by some mysterious force.

But there are some things that cannot be covered up by covering your mouth.

More and more people began to notice that as the offspring of the first batch of vaccinated creatures began to appear, the probability of high-quality spiritual roots appearing began to decrease.

For a small sect to recruit a thousand disciples, if one of them has a mid-grade spiritual root, it would be a great event.

Local officials were also shocked when they realized that something was wrong!
Those who can become officials must be the best of the best, and they have a keen sense of smell that is different from ordinary people in many things!
The probability of high-quality spiritual roots is gradually decreasing, which is completely different from what the imperial court promised to the people!
Well, it seems that the imperial court has never explicitly stated that spiritual roots will get better and better. All along, it has been those self-media bloggers on the spiritual website who have been constantly exaggerating the efficacy and function of spiritual roots!
But if the matter really gets out of hand one day, I’m afraid even the imperial court won’t be able to excuse itself by saying “we never made that promise, it was all exaggerated by self-media bloggers to attract attention”!

For a time, officials from all over the country were in a panic!

Once a civil uprising is aroused, if the matter is not handled properly, a large number of officials may have to die to quell the people's anger!
They were not unfamiliar with this. It was a common method used by the court to deal with civil issues in peacetime, and even they themselves used this method frequently.

But when things really happen to me and I have to be pushed out to give an explanation, I feel unhappy.

So these low-level officials began to frantically seek help from above, constantly writing letters to their superiors in the hope of getting a decision. However, what made them despair was that no one responded at all.

It is precisely because of this attitude of letting things take their own course and completely ignoring the issue that these low-level officials have become even more panicked.

This kind of situation occurs either because one's superiors, such as a local governor or a provincial governor, have long been aware of the drawbacks of the spiritual root system.

In the end, it was still decided to have all the people of the Ming Dynasty and all races vaccinated with the spiritual root vaccine.

They were not surprised at all by what happened today. Of course, it was a little darker. Perhaps they did it on purpose. They even had a plan for this day to deal with emergencies.

However, low-level officials like them are not included in this plan at all.

Once things get out of hand and cause a big uproar, these people, Xie and the local officials, will definitely be handed over to quell public grievances.

Or it could be his superior, who doesn’t know what to do now and is still waiting for news from above.

However, this second possibility was quickly rejected by them.

In the current Ming Dynasty, even the smallest seventh-rank county magistrate has been in office for hundreds of years. Therefore, many truths can be understood with just a little thought.

If there really were problems with the spiritual root vaccines that the imperial court administered to the people, then it would certainly not have been concealed from officials at the provincial governor level.

So the only option available to them may be the first one.

If one day, the disadvantages of spiritual roots begin to be known to the public, and if the matter becomes a big deal, then these officials will be dead.

Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty!
Time flies, and another hundred years passed, and it was the 2326th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the drawbacks of the spiritual root system were finally exposed with the tacit approval of the cabinet, six ministries, and provincial governors, and the low-level officials tried their best to cover their mouths but to no avail!
For a moment, the whole world was in an uproar!
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the first people to express their dissatisfaction were not from elsewhere, but from the indigenous people of the original world of immortal cultivation.

Those who are pushing behind the scenes, or wanting the imperial court to give an explanation, are naturally the large, medium and small sects and families of the past.

However, what made these large, medium and small sects and families incomprehensible, and even angry, was that they had tried to get those overlord-level, huge-powerful sects and families to come forward.

After all, with these families coming forward, the court can be made aware of the seriousness of the situation and be given an explanation.

However, to their disappointment, these once tyrannical and overbearing giants all rejected their requests in silence.

They couldn't help but think too much about the attitude of these giant host forces that had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Then, these overlord-level giant forces that had once defected to the Ming Dynasty also became the target of public condemnation.

"The court must give us an explanation!"

In the Southern Dipper star region, in a certain immortal cultivation city, the monks began to march in the streets, and the momentum was huge.

Afterwards, more and more monks took to the streets to protest and march.

It’s not that they didn’t think of attacking the government offices, but when they thought of the terrifying army of the imperial court and the overlord-level giant forces pressing down on them, they would be in danger as long as they dared to attack the government offices.

Such behavior would then be considered rebellion.

Once this is done, the fleets stationed in various star fields will arrive in an instant to judge.

Nowadays, the dominant giant forces in the entire world of immortal cultivation have already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps it was not the Ming fleet that came at that time, but people from those overlord-level giant wave forces!
Moreover, even if there were no overlord-level giant forces, the Ming Dynasty was able to invade the entire world of immortal cultivation and suppress the vast world of immortal cultivation, and it can still do it now!

On the contrary, their actions of marching and protesting were more likely to attract the attention of the court.

After all, the victims are not just them, but all living beings in the entire Zhutian Daming territory.

The imperial court must give an explanation to all the races in heaven and earth!
In reality, it has already become a big demonstration. On the spiritual network, without the intervention of the Internet Monitoring Bureau, it has long been rampant.

Some self-media bloggers who once promoted the benefits of spiritual roots have had their specific information pulled out by countless people.

Even some extreme monks choose to come directly to the door.

In just a hundred years, hundreds of people who had promoted the benefits of the spiritual root system in the past were killed.

Once the government steps in to catch the murderer, the people will express their dissatisfaction.

The Yan Mansion is located in the small courtyard of the ancestral temple.

"Father, it seems that this day is finally coming." Yan Shifan shifted his gaze from the spiritual net and looked at Yan Song.

"What is coming will eventually come. The Emperor will probably be released soon. Next, the Crown Prince will be deposed..." Yan Song sighed, "At this point, only the Emperor can resolve all the troubles..."
