Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1874: Chapter 1406: Awaiting Repair

Even Li Zhirui himself didn’t expect his Mental State to improve at this moment; it could be said to be an unexpected gain.

When he initially did this, he had no particular aim, it was just a small act of kindness, yet he didn’t anticipate reaping such a big reward!

“Big brother, do you want to come play with us?” A little girl noticed Li Zhirui’s gaze and said sweetly.

“No, you go ahead, I have something else to do.” He shook his head with a smile, saying, “In the future, when you meet strangers, don’t talk to them casually, be careful they might abduct you.”

“Big brother, you wouldn’t do that! I know you’re a good person.” The little girl said earnestly.

“Hmm?”

Li Zhirui smiled wryly, not paying much attention to this remark. After all, at his current level of cultivation, there was no longer a simple distinction between good and evil.

With a thought, he pinched out some sugar pills with low-level Spiritual Medicine from his spatial space and distributed them to this group of children, then used his movement technique to rapidly disappear from their sight.

This group of children could hardly understand anything? They screamed and shouted for a moment, then were distracted by the sugar pills and a new game.

As Li Zhirui sped along, a few days later, he entered the territory of the capital city.

The outermost part of the Daqian capital is a large river ten zhang wide, circling around the capital city before flowing out from the southeast.

In the northeast, southwest, and northwest directions of the river, there is a wide bridge to facilitate pedestrian transit.

Continuing towards the inside, he traversed through a large amount of residential areas, shops, and farmlands, and after nearly 200 li, he finally saw a massive, thick green city wall!

The city wall was tightly built with huge blocks of Vajra Rock, and it was inscribed with the Secret Techniques of the Hundred Schools, greatly enhancing its defense.

This, then, was the second line of defense of the Daqian capital — the outer city wall!

Li Zhirui didn’t stay outside the city; he only observed briefly while passing through. As the saying goes, “Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first choice,” the lives of the people outside the city were quite decent.

And some aristocratic families and wealthy merchants were relatively low-key, but some situations were more severe, such as land annexation and class disparity.

Overall, ordinary people could survive, but their living conditions merely hovered around the subsistence line.

A casual illness could cause a family to fall back into poverty; if it were a serious illness, it would lead to family destruction.

If it was normal ancient times, such a life would have been an unprecedented era of prosperity for common people!

But this is the Immortal World!

The driving power of various Divine Powers and Spells for productivity far surpasses machinery, it’s even incomparable.

But for the rulers, governance is what matters most!

On this basis, allowing people to live a slightly better life, without pushing them too hard, is enough…

Li Zhirui shook his head, crushing these chaotic thoughts. He was a cultivator who stepped out of the world to avoid karma, occasionally entering the world to train, but ultimately for better cultivation, and shouldn’t be reversed!

To return to the outer city wall!

In front of this city wall filled with Divine Powers and Secret Techniques, there was a long queue!

However, the speed of entering the city was very quick, remaining smooth throughout, and in just a quarter of an hour, it was Li Zhirui’s turn.

Buzz—

The Golden Mirror hanging at the city gate emitted a low hum, revealing the content on his identity proof.

It didn’t seem like a big deal, but for Li Zhirui experiencing it firsthand, he knew the power of this Golden Mirror, because he had just felt a gaze envelop him entirely, as if it could see through his concealment.

Just a little more! He felt he would have been seen through.

If he hadn’t reinforced his internal concealment before entering the city, he might have already been exposed!

“It’s indeed the capital of a nation, truly extraordinary!” Li Zhirui secretly marveled in his heart, and it also alerted him that his next actions had to be extremely cautious and careful.

Since nothing was found amiss, he smoothly entered the outer city with the crowd.

Prosperity, flourishing, this was his first impression of the capital.

When Li Zhirui was outside the city, he had opened his Spiritual Eye to glance at the capital, wanting to see how the luck was, and what he saw was a surge of human atmosphere and smoke, and below, a grand flame!

In that flame, there was more content, but when he intended to explore, a sense of crisis emerged in his heart, as if he would be discovered if he did!

So he could only look at the luck on the very outermost periphery briefly from a distance.

And even though it was just an illusory symbol of luck, when he looked at it, he could feel a heat wave rushing to his face, as if it materialized at that moment.

Now that he was among it, Li Zhirui had a deeper understanding and comprehension of the luck he had seen.

The Human Dao is like fire, with the people as fuel!

The prosperity of the Daqian dynasty was built on all its people, and those Hundred Schools were merely embellishments.

However, as the people who contributed the most, they received the least in return!

“If the Daqian were to fall into internal chaos, weakening their power, would it break the current balance in the Southern Domain?” Li Zhirui pondered other things as he walked down the street.

After mulling it over internally, he ultimately gave up the notion.

The reason was simple: it would take too long and the whole process was very uncertain; most importantly, it was highly likely to involve a lot of karma!
