Chapter 509: Chapter 32: The Second Starry Sky Turbulence, A Great Opportunity (Ten Thousand Words Chapter, Seeking Yue Tickets)_3
Warriors like Zhu Xiao and Mo Yang, among the earliest to achieve a breakthrough, already had other powerful figures within their systems, so they hardly ever made an appearance. However, those who had just made the breakthrough not long before lagged behind and found it difficult to teach others.
This kind of “live broadcast” was of great help to them.
As a result, they often used it, and even ordinary people who heard such news would be interested, even if they had no desire to engage in cultivation.
After all, to listen to the teachings of the world’s topmost warriors in the comfort of their own homes – what if they suddenly had an epiphany?
Thus, the presence of ordinary people in the Spirit World visibly increased.
Most of them were there just to join in the excitement.
But there were also many who gained insight from these teachings.
More and more became Martial Artists, with quite a few advancing further.
Although it was just a simple testing module, a change had begun.
It seemed to be aimed at Martial Artists, but it also stimulated vibrant growth in reality.
The officials of Datong were even more impressive, directly using this to announce policies, thus implementing policies more effectively in the Central State.
During such times, time silently passed by.
No change could halt the advance of time.
It had been over a year since the “network module” had appeared, and it was now the 22nd year of the new calendar.
Everything in Datong was rapidly developing.
Thanks to the tireless teachings of various powerful figures.
The number of Martial Artists in Datong Central State swiftly grew, with almost eighty percent of the Human Race having become Martial Artists.
Although the vast majority of these were First Grade Martial Artists, who could reach their level through ordinary meat consumption, this was still a significant advancement.
Of course, this also led to new problems.
With an increase in Martial Artists, many aspects of life in the Central State were no longer suitable.
Issues such as food and transportation became increasingly apparent.
The appetite of a Martial Artist was not something an ordinary person could compare with, and as for modes of transportation, this was a problem that had been gradually emerging but was now magnified many times over.
Huangtian and the high-level members of the Taiping Sect were also very troubled.
“The problem with food is severe. Even though the majority of Martial Artists don’t need to maintain their strength, they still need to eat. The food required is beyond any past comparison… Our current grain supply simply cannot satisfy the Martial Artists, and this is just for one state. Sooner or later, other states will face the same issue…”
The person in charge at the agricultural department was very distressed.
What was once more than enough food supply was now seemingly insufficient.
“Should we start restricting the emergence of Martial Artists?” someone suggested.
This proposal received a lot of agreement, as restricting the emergence of Martial Artists could indeed temporarily address the issue.
But—
“No,” Huangtian, as the leader, directly vetoed.
“Leader, why not? More First Grade Martial Artists aren’t that useful.”
Huangtian sighed, “There is a reason, indeed. The Master once told me some news, and although I can’t disclose the details to you, there is one thing I can say: if someone can become a Martial Artist, don’t stop them. It will be beneficial.”
He had not forgotten about the invasion from the other world. The Master had also made it clear that even with his strength, he could not predict everyone’s future, and many could die when the time came. The stronger the citizens were, the greater their chances of survival.
This was not something to be halted.
As Huangtian mentioned the Master, the voices of opposition quickly faded.
Up to this point, the Master of their leader had never deceived them; they could not take the Master’s words lightly.
“But if we don’t restrict them, we must find a way to solve the food problem…”
The high-level officials fell into deep thought.
If they did not resolve the food issue, it would be impossible for them to let things be.
After a while, someone stood up.
It was Liu Jian’an.
People from Qingshan Village were also among the high-level members of Datong.
“I may have a solution, but I need to go back and consult the Master of the leader.”
The others were surprised.
In the years without major incidents, they had forgotten.
Liu Jian’an came from that mysterious place, where the leader’s Master resided.
“Minister Liu, are you serious?”
Liu Jian’an was a disciple of Xu Qu, engaging in the study of Medical Martial Arts, and now he led the physicians of Datong.
“I can’t guarantee it, but it should be fine,” Liu Jian’an nodded, recalling the food from Qingshan Village, the Spirit Rice.
That miraculous rice, once promoted, would completely satisfy the need for food.
He just needed to seek approval from Uncle Wang.
Thinking of these, Liu Jian’an said, “I will set off now to ask.”
The others naturally had no objections, as this could address their pressing needs.
After Liu Jian’an left, they began to discuss other problems.
Some issues were resolved, but others, like the food problem, were just as complex, such as transportation, an issue that had troubled Datong for several years.
“Although it’s not a critical problem to solve, if we could, it would indeed be good news.”
“Such issues should be addressed by those research institutes, which have actually made some achievements over the years, though not many are practical.”
“What about Li Xueqian’s research institute?” Regarding this person, who was highly regarded by the leader’s Master, they had deep impressions.
“No breakthrough results yet, but it’s said that the Master visited their institute not long ago and that substantial progress was made, though some bottlenecks still exist.”
“Ah…”
Someone sighed; these problems were not so easily solved.
The discussion grew even more intense.
Meanwhile, Liu Jian’an had already returned to Qingshan Village.
Wang Sheng had been dealing with the Spirit World lately and had not been in seclusion, so as soon as Liu Jian’an returned, he noticed.
He paid a bit more attention to this “student” he had once tutored.
