I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 234 Minister Xie’s Determination
Time flies, and it is already the end of August.

A full month has passed since Xia Yuan started practicing in the Snow Region.

During this period, there were no major changes in the outside world.

Jiuzhou officials have very good control over public opinion.

Those hot searches from a month ago did not continue to ferment.

In fact, even if you do nothing, a month is enough for people to gradually forget about it.

With the rapid development of the Internet today, the speed of hot searches is changing with each passing day.

Today, the Internet has been replaced by another batch of hot news.

For example, a certain celebrity cheated on his wife.

Not many people would take the story of an immortal seriously.

What is the meaning of Xunxiandao? Is making money important?

Maybe there are still a few people discussing it, but it’s just casual chat after dinner.

Everyone in Jiuzhou knows about the immortal, but no one believes that he really exists.

As for that explosion, although the impact was very bad, the official handling was very quick and there were no casualties, so the impact was even smaller.

The authorities did not put much effort into controlling public opinion.

Several ministers did not even inquire about the matter.

Their focus is on the laboratories under construction and planning for the future.

The former does not involve much work, and a few people only need to listen to reports regularly.

But the latter has many issues to consider.

The ministers cannot be like Xia Yuan, who can just discuss the cooperation and then not worry about anything else.

Once the extraordinary people become known to the public, the world situation will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.

They need to make various possible plans based on the situation.

The primary considerations are safety and control.

This problem actually requires absolute military deterrence.

Therefore, the Extraordinary Management Bureau came into being.

In the future, this department will definitely not only have these few people, and it will definitely not only have extraordinary people.

Even dozens of extraordinary people would not be enough to handle so many things.

But there is no need to rush right now, things need to be done step by step.

Secondly, there is the issue of the placement of certain personnel.

With the emergence of extraordinary people, some professions will definitely be eliminated, but new professions will also emerge.

Finally, the question is how Jiuzhou can obtain the greatest benefits from future major changes.

Sooner or later, other countries will know about the emergence of extraordinary people.

Even if Jiuzhou's strength had made a leap forward by that day, it would still be impossible to destroy all other countries on Earth.

Even if we really have the ability, there is no need to do so.

Jiuzhou will definitely be in a dominant position in the future, so for many things, we only need to consider how to maximize our own interests.

What's more, there is the future interstellar era, and the target will not be a small planet like Earth!

No one knows whether there are other creatures outside the starry sky.

Since extraordinary people can appear on Earth, why can't there be other extraordinary life forms in the universe?
This is actually very likely.

Therefore, while ensuring Jiuzhou's own interests, they also want to improve the overall strength of mankind as much as possible.

Of course, it is still a bit far-fetched to consider this issue now.

Several ministers only proposed a general direction.

The current primary goal is still to cultivate extraordinary people and research source crystals.

"Third brother, how is the current progress of the experimental base?"

“The foundation and rough framework are complete, and the rest should take less than two months to complete.”

"So fast?"

Upon hearing this, a minister asked in surprise.

He had seen the area and configuration of the experimental base.

Three months is already the limit, I didn’t expect it could be even faster.

"Haha, thousands of people are being paid five times the salary, how can it not be fast?"

Several ministers knew about the plan proposed by Xie Xuan.

But they were just talking.

Labor costs are not the big expense; the experimental equipment is.

If the money for equipment is included, the current expenditure on this laboratory has exceeded 100 billion yuan.

Since so much money has been spent, naturally no one will care about the remaining labor costs.

After all, the sooner the laboratory can be completed, the sooner it can be put into use.

"By the way, it's been a month now. How's Xia Yuan doing? Have you contacted him?"

"That's not the case yet, but we already know where he is training."

Minister Xie first shook his head, and then told him about his discovery a few days ago.

"Oh, where?"

"In the Death Valley area, one of us happened to capture him practicing."

As he was speaking, he took out a video and started playing it.

"The picture was taken a bit far away, so the quality isn't very good. Please bear with me."

At the beginning of the video, what comes into view is a series of explosions, followed by snowflakes fluttering in the wind.

Not only that, the explosions also triggered avalanches on the snow-capped mountains.

Because the shooting distance is far enough, the video is blurry, but the field of view becomes wider.

The avalanche, like a tsunami, made everyone tremble with fear.

At the end of the video, a figure finally appeared in the vast expanse of white.

He appeared in front of the camera without any warning.

This person is Xia Yuan.

Fortunately, he did not make any unnecessary moves and disappeared from the camera the next moment.

The video ends here!
After watching it, no one spoke.

The video I saw today was undoubtedly more shocking than the one I saw in Shuwang City before.

The two are not even on the same level.

"How strong is he?"

Everyone wants to know the answer.

If this kind of destructive power were to be applied to a city, it would undoubtedly be devastating.

What if Xia Yuan wants to destroy Jiuzhou? Do they really have a way to stop him?

Whenever the ministers thought about their previous plan to take action against Xia Yuan, they felt a sense of fear.

Fortunately, I didn't make this decision at that time.

Otherwise, it is hard to say whether Jiuzhou would still exist now.

"Don't worry, we've already reached a cooperation. The stronger he gets, the more at ease we'll feel."

After a moment of silence, the Minister spoke first.

"Be careful from now on. Those of us inside must not have any thoughts that shouldn't be thought of."

The other ministers nodded.

Each of them is a person who plans to do everything in the world, how could they not see the current situation clearly.

If the other party has this kind of strength, cooperation and mutual benefit are the best options.

"It seems that we have underestimated the terror of the extraordinary people before!"

"Well, it seems that ordinary thermal weapons are useless to powerful transcendents."

"If we want to restrain the extraordinary people in the future, we can only use stronger extraordinary people." Just as several ministers were discussing, Minister Xie, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

"Everyone, now you have seen the power of the extraordinary people."

"As Lao Jiu just said, we must use stronger extraordinary people to restrain extraordinary people. The same is true for our Extraordinary Administration."

"If one day in the future one of them reaches Xia Yuan's realm, and we are just ordinary people, can we still restrain them?"

"I know what you're trying to say. Perhaps these first five people selected are absolutely loyal and reliable."

"But Xia Yuan also said that after awakening, one can have two hundred years of life. Wouldn't such a long life change people's thoughts?"

"The future ultimately belongs to the era of the extraordinary. If we want to ensure stability, then someone among us must become an extraordinary person."

"Besides, if we don't become extraordinary, how many years can we live?"

"Twenty, or thirty years?"

"So, I once again offer my previous suggestion, and I hope you can seriously consider it."

Ever since seeing this video, Xie Xuan knew that they must become extraordinary people.

If it was just a whim before, now it is an idea that has been carefully considered.

After hearing Xie Xuan's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

Indeed, it is just as he said.

The future belongs to the era of extraordinary people. It is not necessary for everyone to become an extraordinary person, but there must be extraordinary people.

In the future, I'm afraid only extraordinary people will be able to serve as ministers of the Jiuzhou Administration.

"You are not without reason, but this situation will not happen in the short term."

"The Transcendent Era has just begun. We can completely control the situation. The situation you described won't occur for at least fifty years, or even a hundred years."

"Besides, even if we want to practice, there's no need to be so anxious. We should at least wait until someone successfully awakens before making a decision."

Xie Xuan shook his head.

"According to the news sent back by Old Feng and the others, although practicing in the Body Tempering Realm is indeed quite difficult, the risk of death is not very high."

"To put it another way, if you realize you can't continue practicing, you can definitely stop."

Having said that, Xie Xuan didn't think he was worse than those people.

In fact, this is true. His willpower is no worse than those of the five selected people, and even better.

As the Minister of Jiuzhou Management Department, his willpower is definitely not bad.

Who among those who can reach this position has not experienced countless difficulties?

Do you really think that being the Minister of Jiuzhou Management Department can do it so easily?
Those selected are young, vigorous and strong.

Therefore, the difficulty of their cultivation is indeed much lower than that of older people.

But now that the source energy concentration has been reduced, the initial stage of cultivation is not that difficult.

As long as one is a normal person, there is no problem in cultivating to the first and second levels.

Xie Xuan learned a lot about cultivation during this period.

Especially after seeing Li Qingxuan's progress in cultivation, he became more confident.

"Everyone, now is a critical moment when the times are undergoing drastic changes. Someone among us must serve as a pioneer."

"I am ready!"

Seeing Xie Xuan's firm attitude, all the ministers were moved!
In fact, he didn't need to be a pioneer at all.

As the Minister of the Jiuzhou Management Department, he could have waited until the extraordinary path was perfected before practicing.

Minister Xie is only in his sixties, not too old, and can definitely wait.

"I agree!"

After a moment, the Minister spoke first.

"agree!"

For a moment, the remaining seven ministers nodded in unison.

They seemed to see their hardworking selves in their youth in Xie Xuan.

Wasn’t that what I was like at that time?
But since they became the heads of the Jiuzhou Management Department, they never thought that one day they would have to take risks themselves.

A group of elderly people, the youngest of whom was over 60 years old, suddenly felt a little excited at this moment.

"Haha, I think I can practice too."

"Me too!"

Seeing several ministers speaking in succession, the senior minister coughed and interrupted everyone.

"If you all go to practice, who will take care of Jiuzhou?"

"Everyone thinks they are ordinary people, right?"

"The third brother has already mastered the awakening method, so it's no problem for him to go. The rest of you should take it slow. For now, the third brother's training is enough!"

Hearing this, the other ministers also looked embarrassed.

If they all went to practice, Jiuzhou would be in chaos.

"Alright, Third Brother, even though you're going to practice, you can't just sit back and do nothing. We can help you with some of the daily chores, but you still have to continue to be responsible for Xia Yuan's affairs."

"Don't worry, I won't delay my work."

Xie Xuan nodded seriously.

Then they discussed other things.

After that, Xie Xuan went directly to the Shu King City.

Of course, this time he went there not only for cultivation, but also to ask when Xia Yuan could come back.

Now that a month has passed, it's time to complete the previous agreement!
After all, if he wants to practice, he can't do it without source crystals.

Xia Yuan would not provide him with the source crystals needed for cultivation, so he had to take the one hundred source crystals from the original transaction.

Another thing is the mining of methane hydrate.

Although there is no need to test his strength now, these resources are still very important.

"Make arrangements and go to Shuwang City immediately."

……

King Shu's City, Qingcheng Mountain.

Feng Yuanshan also received the news that Minister Xie was coming soon.

In the past month, Minister Xie has come to visit almost every ten days and ask about some matters related to cultivation.

Several people also felt a lot of pressure because of this.

Especially Tang Ping, who was forced in by Xie Xuan, so he knew that he could not let the minister down.

Fortunately, all five of them worked very hard and made significant progress in just one month.

The one who cultivated the fastest was naturally Feng Yuanshan.

It was today that he broke through to the third level of the first level and completed a full 40 rounds of tempering.

The other two were not far behind, having also reached the third level, and should have been tempered 38 times now.

After Wang Hai encountered some problems in his last practice, he started to proceed steadily and also reached the 37th tempering.

As for Tang Ping, he was a little slower. He was still some distance away from the third level and had only undergone 34 temperings.

Come to think of it, they had only been practicing for twenty days, which was not a slow speed!
If everything goes well, reaching congenital status within two years should not be a problem at all.

Even Tang Ping made great progress in his mental strength and physical fitness as he continued to practice.

Those with poor physical condition find it more difficult to temper themselves.

That's because for the same tempering, the more source energy they need to consume, the greater the pressure they will naturally bear.

This is to make up for the innate deficiencies.

For example, temper it again.

People with poor physical fitness need to consume 10 points of source energy, while people with good physical fitness may only need to consume 8 points.

In this way, people with good physical fitness will bear less pressure and their cultivation speed will naturally be faster.

Tang Ping's physical fitness is only poor compared to the other people, but it is still far better than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, anyone who can cultivate to this level in two months is not an ordinary person!
