In the sea of consciousness, golden light points are gathering at this moment, rushing towards the sudden appearance of the Haotian Kung Fu.
The contents of the merit scroll also completely appeared in Li Yun's mind instantly, allowing him to understand what exactly happened.
In addition to condensing imperial energy, there is another way to practice the Haotian technique, which is to condense merit!
It can even be said that the concentration of imperial energy is only the foundation, and the concentration of merit is the foundation!
It's just that the things he has done all along have been mostly imperial energy and low in merit. The amount of merit he has accumulated is insufficient, and he has not been able to open the second volume of merit in the Haotian Cultivation Technique.
But now, after taking control of the court, he ransacked all the homes and properly resettled the two hundred thousand victims with just the money, grain, houses and acres confiscated from the homes of several eunuchs such as Eun Hai.
This huge merit was completely condensed and entered into his sea of consciousness, thus opening the second volume of the merit chapter of Haotian Cultivation Technique.
Even the seal pattern of "Nantianmen" in his palm was activated by this merit.
Through the descriptions in the chapter on the merits of Haotian Kung Fu, Li Yun also understood at this time that these merits can also be used as "travel expenses" to activate the lines of the Nantianmen again, or activate the Nantianmen, allowing him to re-enter. In heaven!
It's just that he doesn't quite understand how long he can stay in the heaven this time, and he still needs to continue to study.
The contents of the merit chapter of Haotian Kung Fu made Li Yun speechless.
It is completely different from the previous cultivation path of the "Imperial Qi Chapter" in the first volume. This Merit Chapter is clearly about condensing the faith of incense and taking the path of directly becoming a god!
The content here is not at all the cultivation path of Qi training - foundation building - pill formation in the Emperor Qi chapter, but another more complicated path. For a while, Li Yun even looked a little cloudy and foggy. do not understand.
What excites him even more is that the imperial energy is always limited, because there are only so many people in the world, loyalty to the emperor is limited, cultivation will always have its limit, but merit can be infinite!
Compared with imperial energy, merit is more like a law of heaven or something like that.
After a cursory look, Li Yun now understood that the relationship between the imperial energy and merit was just like his inner strength and spiritual energy. They did not conflict with each other, but rather complemented each other!
Originally, he was extremely afraid of those hidden immortal sects, but now he found the path of merit and immediately became ambitious again!
In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, Pei Zhong and Yuan Chengtao looked at the emperor who was standing blankly in front of them, his expression constantly changing and his eyes full of excitement. They couldn't help but look at each other with worried expressions on their faces.
Just now, Pei Zhong was thinking not to be too outspoken, but to save face for the emperor, and then advise him on refining elixirs and cultivating immortals, so he took the lead in reporting on the resettlement work for the victims.
But he didn't expect that he just said such a sentence. The emperor seemed to be stupid. He just stood there blankly. He was dumbfounded and giggled, and now he looked ambitious again. It was really worrying.
Yuan Chengtao frowned, looked at Zhao Huichun next to him, and made a gesture of taking medicine:
The emperor took drugs?
Zhao Huichun quickly waved his hand and shook his head, pointing to the alchemy furnace next to him that was still warm, and then pointed to the elixir in the jade plate:
The new product has just been made, and I haven’t eaten it yet.
Yuan Chengtao frowned and gestured to Zhao Huichun:
Is this a Dan addiction?
Zhao Huichun quickly waved his hands and gestured:
The emperor quit for a few days, so that he would not become addicted.
The two were making gestures when they saw the emperor come back to his senses and smiled at Pei Zhong and Yuan Chengtao:
"Well done to you two beloved ministers! You are worthy of being my loyal ministers! The flood on the east side of the river is said to be a natural disaster, but it is actually a man-made disaster. How can the victims be blamed and why are they suffering! I feel sincere that they can have a place to live and food to eat. It’s so comforting, my heart is so comforted! Wait until tomorrow to spread some cloth so that the victims can have clothes!”
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhong and Yuan Chengtao quickly kowtowed:
"Your Majesty!"
"For these two hundred thousand disaster victims to be born and meet the Lord, it is truly a blessing that has been cultivated in three lifetimes!"
Regardless of whether the emperor made elixirs or not, the relief provided to the victims really moved the two of them.
Then I heard the emperor say again:
"In addition, starting from tomorrow, official schools will be set up in the places where the victims live. Children who want to go to school can do so! If they have ambitions when they grow up, they can also take the imperial examination and become officials in the court!"
As soon as these words came out, Pei Zhong's eyes turned red instantly.
The majestic emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and he has just returned from the great government. He can think of this level, which is not just a wise and benevolent king.
It can be seen from this that great talents and great achievements will last forever!
Yuan Chengtao on the side was also amazed.
The two of them were about to kneel down to thank the emperor for the victims, when they heard the emperor continue:
"In addition, we have issued a 'Disaster Relief Edict' to the world. The orphans, old and weak victims and refugees from all over the world can come to Gyeonggi Province to eat and have food provided by the court as long as they are willing!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhong couldn't help but choked back the words of praise that were already on his lips, and said:
"Your Majesty, there may be something wrong with this..."
When the emperor went to the soup kitchen outside the south gate of the city to help the victims, he once said something similar, which is the so-called ambition.
But at the time, no one, including the victims, took it seriously.
After all, in these thousands of years, I have never heard of any emperor or court being able to support the victims, refugees, orphans, the elderly and the weak all over the world.
The emperor's family has no food left.
Just talk.
They just listen and forget it.
But now, according to the emperor's wishes, he actually wants to issue an edict directly to the whole world to gather the victims and refugees!
This is definitely not a good thing.
In other words, this is a great virtue and the way of a benevolent king, but for the current court and emperor, it is something that can cause financial collapse.
Although the three parties have been raided now, Pei Zhong always believes that after killing the evil leaders, most of the remaining officials, especially those from aristocratic families, had better be put back, otherwise the aristocratic families in the world will surely rise up to attack. .
Precisely because of this, all the extravagant wealth from the confiscation of homes was only left to the eunuchs, who were used to maintain the operation of the court and refine the army. Together with the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, it was barely enough.
If all the victims and refugees from all over the world came, the court would be overwhelmed.
Li Yun smiled slightly and said:
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Pei Ge. I have made my own decision. You can just issue an edict."
Then, before Pei Zhong and Yuan Chengtao could speak again, Li Yun casually grabbed the final Immortal Martial Medicine from the jade plate and threw it into his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Huichun couldn't help but be shocked.
These elixirs were all refined by him personally. Naturally, he knew that the last elixir was the most toxic, many times more poisonous than the elixir that the dog immediately kicked after eating it.
He quickly raised his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, this elixir is too toxic and cannot be eaten! Your Majesty, please spit it out quickly. You can't eat it. You can't eat it!"
Li Yun laughed and said:
"Zhao Aiqing, don't worry too much, I am the True Dragon Emperor, and this elixir is just what I like."
Seeing the emperor like this and hearing Zhao Huichun's words, Pei Zhong and Yuan Chengtao looked at each other and couldn't help but feel anxious and angry.
At this time, Pei Zhong didn't care about the disaster relief edict the emperor just said, and quickly advised:
"Your Majesty, this matter of cultivating Taoism, refining elixirs, and immortality is just a lie after all. Since ancient times, I have never heard of an emperor who became an immortal by refining elixirs. There are quite a few who died after swallowing elixirs. Your Majesty, please think twice! "
Hearing this, Zhao Huichun on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't believe his ears.
Is Mr. Pei Ge so fierce?
When the Holy Emperor was angry, he was not allowed to spread his buttocks?
Unexpectedly, the emperor laughed instead of being angry when he heard Pei Zhong's words. He smiled and said to Pei Zhong:
"I understand Mr. Pei Ge's worries, but please rest assured Mr. Pei Ge. I will be the unique emperor who cultivates immortality in the past and can refine elixirs to become immortals. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Yuan Chengtao also advised at this time:
"Your Majesty, you must not do it! Your Majesty! Although your Majesty has killed Enhai and wiped out the eunuchs, and the great government has been restored, the remnants of the three parties are still ready to move in the court hall in the capital. Outside the capital, there are Zhenbei Army, Four rebel armies, the Xuanwu Army, the Korean Dragon Division, and the Bohai National Wolf Soldiers, are rushing toward the capital. Their force is several times that of the capital, so we must not slack off!"
"The road to alchemy is full of ups and downs, so you should figure it out slowly. It won't be too late to start refining the alchemy again after the court has been stabilized and the rebels have been defeated."
After all, he was different from Pei Zhong. He did not have the detached and intimate relationship between Pei Zhong and the emperor, so he could only give tactful advice.
Unexpectedly, the emperor smiled slightly, took two purple pills from the jade plate on the side, gave them to Pei Zhong and Yuan Chengtao, one pill each, and said:
"Two dear friends, today we will not talk about the court and the rebels. We, the monarch and the ministers, will only talk about the elixir of immortality. This is the elixir that I just made today. It comes sooner rather than later, so I will give it to you two. After swallowing the grains, there are supreme benefits."
This elixir looks like it has a strange purple light. It feels heavy in the hand and has a metallic texture.
Pei Zhong weighed the elixir in his hand, feeling cold and desolate in his heart.
He and a group of loyal ministers and generals above the court worked desperately to purge the entire capital and pro-military guards to direct the army, and worked hard to manage the government. At the same time, they desperately prepared the army for the upcoming fierce battle.
The emperor, however, was concentrating on refining elixirs and cultivating immortality in this Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Or poison pill.
What's more, Zhao Huichun himself is a famous doctor and is known as a master of rejuvenation. He said that this elixir is poisonous, so it must be poisonous.
Now the emperor actually asked the two of them to take pills!
Pei Zhong felt sad for a moment, wondering what happened to this emperor who was obviously a sage and benevolent emperor.
In his anger, he put a gloomy face on his face, said nothing, took the elixir and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.
That's all, I'm really tired. If you want me to die, I have to die. If the emperor gives me the elixir, I'll take it.
When the time comes, I'll foam at the mouth, roll my eyes, and lie down on the ground. Damn the court and the rebels.
"Mr. Pei Ge!" Seeing Pei Zhong taking the elixir out of anger, Yuan Chengtao raised his hand to stop him but failed to stop him at all. At that moment, he felt sad in his heart. He took the elixir and swallowed it in his stomach.
Zhao Huichun on the side was dumbfounded.
Could it be that the emperor refined this poison pill just to give it to his loyal ministers?
What on earth is the emperor going to do! ?
This...is this still Lord Daoren?
Did you make a mistake?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the emperor still looking at Pei Zhong and Yuan Chengtao with a smile on his face, and asked:
"My dear friends, how do you like this elixir?"
Pei Zhong's face was horrified at this time, and he no longer looked as desperate as before.
As soon as the elixir entered his stomach, he felt the power, the power rising from the limbs and bones, and the fragrance that penetrated his soul!
At this time, he heard the emperor's question and murmured:
"This elixir... smells so good..."
