Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

As the variety and sales volume of high-priced goods continue to increase, the savings of most ordinary people have decreased significantly.

Housing is free, water, electricity, and gas are cheap, and education is free for fourteen years... People can receive a pension at the age of sixty-five. The cost of living for the people of Daxia is very low, and even if they have less savings, it won't have much of an impact on their lives.

If you deposit all your money in the bank and don't use it regularly, then the money loses its meaning.

Whenever Qi Bing thinks about his past life where he accomplished nothing for decades, he wants to do more meaningful things.

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of July.

The news of the upheaval in Tangcheng, a city known for its traditional courtyard houses, filled many with worry.

The General Administration Bureau, Xia Jun, and Xia Jing dispatched personnel to Tangcheng as quickly as possible.

The Grade 10 housing unit withstood this earthquake.

Some ancient buildings in the northern part of the city have suffered damage.

According to information gathered from all parties, a few people were injured, but no one died.

Transport planes capable of taking off and landing on the spot transport various supplies to various parts of Tang City.

Chongqing, Comprehensive Building.

"Xiao Qi, if we hadn't rebuilt the house in advance, the losses this time would have been incalculable."

"Fortunately, the loss may seem significant, but it's not that bad in reality."

"As long as the people are safe, nothing else matters."

"My personal suggestion is that most of the people in Tang City should move to other places. There are still many places in Great Xia where there are not many people."

"I agree. In places where disasters were frequent in ancient times, agriculture and animal husbandry should be the main industries in the future."

"It's fortunate that we didn't develop industry in Tangcheng back then. If we had, the losses this time would definitely have been much greater."

After the meeting, Qi Bing returned to the villa.

Once you reach a certain level, many things will be done by others, so you won't need to do them yourself.

Qi Bing, who reached the top more than a decade ago, only occasionally attends a meeting.

Not wanting to gain widespread fame, he always participated in small-scale meetings.

Yucheng Industrial Group, Ninth Research Center.

Ye Qiu said, "Old Lin, something happened in Tangcheng."

Lin Fan said calmly, "It's nothing serious, just some cracked roads and some tilted houses..."

Chen Bo laughed and said, "A house built to a level 10 standard will at most tilt when subjected to an impact of around level 8."

Su Hai said, "With a transmigrator like Li Yunlong, Great Xia is invincible on Blue Star."

Xiao Ze said dejectedly, "I've been living in Chongqing for so long, and I still haven't met Li Yunlong. When will I be able to become his disciple? I still want to become a cultivator! Sigh!"

Li Kun frowned: "You want to become a cultivator, and so do I."

Ye Qiu laughed, "It's not like we don't want to cultivate immortality!"

It was 8:00 AM on October 27th.

"Congratulations on becoming a level 34 human."

The system's pleasant and melodious voice rang in Qi Bing's mind once again.

Absorbing the rich yet gentle power of his bloodline, Qi Bing's human level rose to level thirty-four.

He silently said "check in," and a piece of porcelain was added to his check-in system space.

Upon entering the Xuanhuang World, Qi Bing stepped into the Humanity Xuanhuang Tower.

Qi Bing grabbed a ball of light and was teleported outside the Humanity Xuanhuang Tower.

"Congratulations on obtaining the Secret Manual of Freedom."

Qi Bing was overjoyed as he processed the new information in his mind.

The Free and Unfettered Secret Manual was created by the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable, and its highest cultivation level is the God King realm.

"How come the cultivation realms in the 'Carefree Secret Manual' are the same as those in 'Swallowed Star'?"

The cultivation realms in the Free and Unfettered Manual, from lowest to highest, are: Apprentice Level, Planetary Level, Eternal Level, Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, World Lord Level, Immortal Level, Universe Venerable, Universe Overlord, Universe Master, True God, Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaos Ruler, and God King.

"Cultivating the Free and Unfettered Manual to the God King level is comparable to the God Venerable level in some Great Thousand Worlds, and roughly equivalent to the Primordial Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint in the Primordial World. Could it be that the Free and Unfettered Manual originated from some Great Thousand World in the endless chaos?"

Within the Human Dao Xuanhuang Tower lies the cultivation technique of a certain Great Thousand World, so Qi Bing was not surprised.

Cultivators in the vast world, once they reach the perfect realm of Godhood, will face the prospect of ascending to the primordial world.

In this vast world, gods and cultivators of the same level are invincible.

In the primordial world, cultivators at the same level as God-Emperors are roughly equivalent to Primordial Golden Immortals/Quasi-Saints.

Since the creation of chaos by the great god Pangu, countless eons have passed.

Over countless years, countless cultivators have ascended from the Great Thousand Worlds to the Primordial World.

Some cultivation techniques and items from minor, middle, and major worlds may have been brought to the prehistoric world by cultivators.

The Xuanhuang Pearl, containing the Xuanhuang World, is currently a top-grade innate treasure, but it possesses the ability to upgrade and grow.

The Human Dao Xuanhuang Pagoda is a supreme Chaos Treasure created by the Human Dao, containing countless treasures.

After calming himself down, Qi Bing went to the Chaos Sapling and casually set up a time barrier.

By intercepting the energy dissipating from the Chaos Tree Sapling, Qi Bing began cultivating the Free and Unfettered Secret Manual.

He cultivated the Free and Unfettered Secret Manual for a while, and then integrated the contents of the Free and Unfettered Secret Manual into his self-created Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique.

Time flows a million times faster; one hundred years inside the time barrier is equivalent to tens of minutes outside.

After a hundred years of arduous cultivation, Qi Bing mastered the Secret Manual of Freedom and reached the level of a Universe Venerable. His Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique reached the level of a Ninth-Order Celestial Immortal.

Having reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, Qi Bing stopped, still feeling unsatisfied.

Eliminate the time barrier, teleport to the villa, and enjoy the comfort of being accompanied by three beautiful women.

After having lunch on the spot, Qi Bing returned to the outside world of the courtyard house.

Day after day, year after year, before we knew it, the world of courtyard houses had reached the early 1980s.

Two years ago, when he upgraded to level 35, the light orb he grabbed inside the Humanity Profound Yellow Tower was the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

Two years ago, when he upgraded to level 36 of the human race, the light orb he captured inside the Humanity Xuanhuang Tower was the Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique.

Last year, when he upgraded to level 37 as a human, the orb of light he captured inside the Humanity Xuanhuang Tower was the Nine True Words.

To this day, Qi Bing's cultivation level has reached the perfection of the Universe Venerable, the perfection of the Ninth-Order Celestial Immortal, and the perfection of the Earth Immortal, but his physical strength is still at the level of a top-grade immortal artifact, and his comprehension of the Three Thousand Laws is still at the minor completion level of the Lesser Thousand World.

The Perfect Realm of the Universe Venerable corresponds to the Free and Unfettered Secret Manual and is the cultivation realm of the Great Thousand Worlds.

The ninth-tier Celestial Immortal realm, corresponding to the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique, is a cultivation realm in the Great Thousand Worlds.

The Perfect Earth Immortal realm corresponds to the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique and is a cultivation realm in the primordial world.

In this chaotic universe, cosmic venerables, nine-tribulation celestial immortals, and earth immortals are all of the same level.

Liu Xiaoqian, who accompanied him to practice the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique more than twenty times a month and occasionally helped him work overtime, has reached the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm in cultivation.

After breakfast, my wife and children went to school.

Qi Bing spent the morning messing around in the Xuanhuang World, and the afternoon he stayed at home.

His father-in-law, Liu Yongfeng, and mother-in-law, Chen Xiaoya, are both 68 years old and retired three years ago.

In his spare time from work, life, and self-cultivation, Qi Bing begins to woo Luo Yuzhu.

In less than half a month, Luo Yuzhu, who had no immediate family members, was sent to the Xuanhuang World by him.

Luo Yuzhu and Zheng Juan stood together and looked almost identical.

The four beauties of the Xuanhuang World often play mahjong and exercise together in their spare time from cultivation...

Around four o'clock, Qin Chu and Liu Yongfeng returned to the villa.

Qi Bing asked, "Dad, Master, how many did you catch?"

Qin Chu laughed and said, "We caught a total of over thirty catties, and we released some of them."

Liu Yongfeng said, "We'll have fish for dinner."

The Qi soldier asked, "How shall we eat?"

Liu Yongfeng asked Qin Chu, then said, "Make grass carp into grilled fish, and silver carp into boiled fish."

After chatting for a while, Qi Bing began to process the fish.

A little after five o'clock, Chen Manhua, Liu Xiaoqian, Qi Zhengwen, and Qi Zhengwu returned, and Qin Weihua, Zhao Yunshan, Qin Zhiyuan, and Qin Zhicheng arrived.

Zhao Yunshan is Qin Weihua's wife, and Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhicheng are Qin Weihua's children.
