Chapter 345: Cultivation of Immortality by All People
Zong family.

Zong Yuling, dressed in red, skipped back to the Bishui Pavilion.

Shen Liuyun was meditating in the pavilion. When he heard her voice, he opened his eyes.

"Brother Liuyun, I found a spirit snake egg for you. Do you like it?" Zong Yuling trotted forward and took out a palm-sized egg from the storage bag.

The eggshell is black all over, with a faint golden glow flowing through it.

Shen Liuyun's eyes lit up and he immediately raised his hand to take it.

After examining it carefully for a moment, he exclaimed, "It's actually an earth-level spirit snake egg!"

Zong Yuling smiled and nodded, "Yes, wait until Brother Liuyun hatches the spirit snake, then you can go back and take revenge."

Shen Liuyun hugged her in his arms, choking with sobs, "Yuling, thank you... Thank you for being so good to me..."

Zong Yuling patted his back, her face full of sweetness, "You are my husband, so it is only natural for me to be nice to you."

Shen Liuyun kissed her on the cheek and said with emotion: "I, Shen Liuyun, have a wife like this. What else can a husband ask for?"

……

……

Four years later.

Lingyuan Continent, China, the capital.

"What are you doing? Flying with a sword is prohibited in the city! Get down now!"

"Sir, I didn't mean it. Please let me go. I just learned how to fly a sword today and I couldn't control it..."

"Stop it! I'll fine you five taels of silver. Hurry up!"

Five minutes later, a middle-aged man in plain clothes stood at the intersection with traffic lights, holding a wooden sign that read "Flying is prohibited in the urban area. Violators will be fined five taels of silver." He had to wait until the traffic control officials caught the next person to replace him, otherwise he would have to wait until the traffic control officials got off work.

Inside the large conference room of the State Taxation Department.

Lin Xiao'e is listening to the governors of various states report on the taxes paid this year.

Empress Dowager Chen, also known as Chen Shihuan, took the notebook here, stood up with her head held high and chest puffed out to make a report.

The amount of tax paid by their Baihua State this year was indeed higher than that of other states. When she was making the report, her voice was particularly confident, unlike those who had just paid enough taxes and could not even raise their heads.

Now, the competition among states is not about who pays enough taxes, but who pays more taxes.

Although His Majesty has repeatedly said that they are not allowed to compete like this, building China doesn't cost money? They still like to pay money to His Majesty!
After finishing the report, Lin Xiao'e mentioned something, "By the way, His Majesty said that a train will be sent to pick up the county magistrate and his family members to come to Beijing to watch the gala during the New Year this year. I'll tell you in advance that the specific rules should be notified tomorrow."

The governors nodded one after another. Every year's Spring Festival Gala was a big event. They lived far away and had no way to attend. But this year was different. This year, trains were available all over the country. Even if His Majesty did not send a train to pick them up, they would take the train to watch it as long as they were free.

I heard that last year the Emperor personally went on stage to sing a song "The Moon Represents My Heart" for Your Majesty. Unfortunately, he was far away, and there were too many things they needed to deal with at the end of the year, so he missed the chance to see you.

"Look at my memory. There is one more thing. In three days it will be the fourth anniversary of the founding of the country. There will be a military parade. If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay and watch. I will have someone arrange a seat for you."

Chen Shihua was the first to respond, "Minister, I want to stay!"

Xu Yuanzhi also raised his hand, "Minister Lin, I want to stay and watch the parade, too."

This was China's first grand military parade, so of course they had to stay.

Lin Xiao'e took a quick look and found that everyone had to stay, so she nodded to Xiao Tao beside her, "Tao'er, tell Minister Liu to ask him to save a seat for our governors."

Xiao Tao said "hmm" and quickly went to the Propaganda Department next door. Liu Mingxuan was also in a busy meeting.

"Has the Flying Sword Team been confirmed? Have the candidates been decided yet?"

"No, they were fighting fiercely for a spot on the Flying Sword Team, especially the Northwest Army and the Xia'an Army."

"Hurry up and tell them that if they continue to make trouble, once something goes wrong, even if His Majesty doesn't punish them, the Imperial City Army will not let them go. I heard that Commander Long Er has been in a bad mood these days!"

"Yes, yes, I'll inform them when I get back!"

"Where's the artillery team? Are they ready?"

"The Duke said that there is no problem now."

"..."

Xiao Tao listened outside for a while, and seeing that it was still early for the meeting to end, she waved to a female official she was familiar with and told her what Lin Xiao'e had said.

The female officer nodded and asked quietly, "Is it finished over there?"

Xiao Tao said, "It's almost done. You know, we only do this twice a year."

The female official sighed, "If I had known, you should have applied for the National Taxation Department. The Propaganda Department is busy as a dog every day. Even a person who has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment cannot handle the workload."

Xiao Tao secretly took a look inside, and seeing Liu Mingxuan spitting all over the place, she patted the female officer's arm and said, "When the five-year assessment comes, you can apply to transfer to another department."

The two chatted for a few more words and agreed to go to the newly opened milk tea shop in the South District to drink milk tea together tomorrow afternoon before parting ways.

Inside the palace.

Pan Yingying opened her eyes and met Yu Chaosheng's curious eyes, "Have you reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir?"

She nodded and said, "Tsk, of course. How long do you want to wait in the Jindan stage, little rubbish? Batian and Baomei are almost surpassing you."

Yu Chaosheng: …

"What's there to be proud of? It's just the Golden Core Great Perfection. I will catch up sooner or later!"

Both husband and wife have single spiritual roots, Pan Yingying has a top-grade wood spiritual root, and Yu Chaosheng has a top-grade ice spiritual root.

Batian has the dual spiritual roots of ice and fire, while Baomei has the spiritual root of thunder.

Why are the spiritual roots of the four members of the family so amazing? Of course, it's because of krypton gold!
However, Pan Yingying relied on the "Spirit Cleansing Pill" that she bought from the mall at a high price to cleanse her three spiritual roots into a top-grade single spiritual root.

"Xi Ling Dan" is sold in the county government office in every county, and one pill costs ten taels of gold. In the past, people might not even dare to think about it, but now every household has money in their savings, so they can grit their teeth and stomp their feet and buy one pill for their children from the county government office.

As long as they take the "Spirit Cleansing Pill", they can wash away one spiritual root at a time. Those families with four or five spiritual roots, don't they have to work hard to make money?

Although everyone has started to practice cultivation, not everyone is keen on it. For some people, it doesn't matter if they have mixed spiritual roots. They also have other pursuits, such as those students who are determined to enter the "Manufacturing Department" of the military academy.

Just say that which young person would remain indifferent when seeing those powerful planes and cannons in the newspaper?

Rather than flying on a sword, they would rather sit comfortably in a plane and blow someone to pieces with a single shot.

"By the way, weren't we worried that those people on the other side would come and cause trouble? Why is there no movement after such a long time?" Pan Yingying asked in confusion.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Chaosheng raised his hand to cover her mouth, "What are you doing? Pan Yingying, I think you are really getting carried away now!"

Pan Yingying: ...

She just said it casually, isn't it?
