Chapter 228 The Way of Man

As she spoke, Qian Xuan slightly swayed the jade, and the mountain and water energies within it were stimulated, gradually surrounding the jade and causing it to manifest some slight strange visions.

Just as Qian Xuan had said before, the mountain air and water vapor contain the changes of the four seasons. In the process of surrounding, they derive the virtual shadows of mountains, waterfalls and rapids, and the steaming of clouds and mist, like mist embracing green clouds, like lake light reflecting the shadows of mountains, which is quite mysterious.

It has to be said that Ms. Qian Xuan's control over Chu Tai's aura was very accurate. The embryonic form of the [Mountain and River] Dharma he displayed was just right for the aura displayed by the jade. But compared to buying the jade, he now had another doubt.

"Ms. Qianxuan, I have a question. From what I've seen, the things sold here don't seem to have much profit. How do you make a profit? And I see that you seem to really like introducing jade to me. Is this your specialty or is it the specialty of people from the Central Plains?"

This question was Chu Tai's first reaction after visiting these shops, and it was also his guess about the repairs to the Holy King Avenue they mentioned.

Hearing this, Qian Xuan smiled and said, "This is the third time I've heard this question since I came to this area. You probably can't understand it. For those of us living in the core area of ​​the Central Plains, we study and live not because we should, but because we want to."

"To put it simply, within the Central Plains, everyone's birth, aging, illness and death are handled by a special agency under the grace of Your Majesty. We are born with a clear plan, and our growth is strongly protected. When we grow up, we don't have to worry about the pressure of life, or work specifically for the so-called life. There is only one reason why we choose to work, we like it and are willing to do it. That's all."

Chu Tai looked back at Si Shubai, only to see her smiling and responding, "Just as Qian Xuan said, for us, work is a hobby and a reflection of our own path, not for the so-called life. This is also the reason why we want to go out to support various places and expand the Saint King Avenue."

Hearing this, Chu Tai couldn't control his body and broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Si Shubai's words were very beautiful, Chu Tai, who had experiences in his previous life, knew very well that there was a problem that had to be solved in order to achieve this.

Enough substance.

All humanitarian activities are based on material foundations. Only by having enough resources to allow everyone to live a normal life and provide enough welfare can we support the ideal country that Si Shubai and Qian Xuan talk about.

Where do the resources that support this ideal country in the Central Plains come from today?

Looking at the backward county towns connected to the East, and towns like Wumao County, Tianzhi City and Baifang City that are close to supplying resources, everything seems to have an answer.

If it's not obvious enough, when comparing Wang Chao's denial that he and Junmo share the same origin, and putting in Qian Xuan's previous statement that "birth has a clear plan and growth has strong guarantees", the answer becomes even clearer.

"As expected, this question itself cannot be explored in depth..."

Chu Tai closed his eyes slightly. Perhaps Jun Mo gathered the strength of everyone to support himself, but doesn’t the Central Plains have a royal family today?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the fourth-grade celestial beings themselves have a certain ability to transform nature, and the dynasty's requirement for celestial beings is that they only need to practice in special places.

In addition, when the Central Plains tried to expand outward, the Jinhua Sect and other sects continued to fight against each other, and even became enemies with the cultivation forces such as Tongxiu Ziya. If the dynasty's approach was really not problematic, then why did the elders of the sect do this?
Following these lines of thought, it is not difficult to see that the humanitarian nature of the Central Plains dynasty still involves swallowing up everything, even the people.

"The way of man is to take from what is lacking in order to give to what is abundant..."

With a long sigh in his heart, Chu Tai did not continue thinking about it, but asked the other party about the value and characteristics of the other jades.

During this period, in order to determine the reserves of this jade shop, Chu Tai clearly stated that he wanted jade with opposing attributes such as the sun and moon, water and fire, day and night, fire and cold, followed by jade with yang and fire, yin and cold attributes, and finally all five elements.

"The mountain people's requirements are really high!"

Qian Xuan was a little embarrassed when she heard Chu Tai's request, "I have quite a few jades with Yangyan and Yinhan properties, but there are not many that can satisfy you. The materials with water, fire, scorching and five elements are relatively simple, but most of them are cultivated jades. Not only are they of ordinary quality, but they also have obvious signs of acquired luck. They should not be the type that practitioners like you like."

"As for the jades with sun, moon, day and night attributes, most of these jades are controlled by sects such as the Great Light Palace. Small families like us occasionally get a few pieces that can be considered high-quality, and we put them in the main store in the capital, not in the city."

Qian Xuan's answer allowed Chu Tai to further explore the current capabilities of the Central Plains Dynasty. At least on the surface, the Central Plains Dynasty still had to form alliances with some top sects.

However, the Great Guangming Palace that Qian Xuan mentioned earlier made Chu Tai a little curious.

According to the information obtained earlier from Taoist Fu Guang, among the few people who practiced together with Tianmen Divine Lord at that time, Si Ming and Liu Huisu should have been taken away by the Da Guangming Palace and the Guanghan Sect.

He asked casually, "Da Guangming Palace, I remember that the ancestral temple of this sect is not above Shenzhou, and the branch in Shenzhou is not very strong. Does the dynasty still need to trade with it?"

"What you said is true. No matter what, the Great Light Palace is also a first-class sect with three or four fourth-grade celestial beings in charge of it from generation to generation. Who knows how many celestial beings are in charge of it in its ancestral temple?"

"Besides, although the ancestral temple of the Great Guangming Palace is located in a remote area outside of Shenzhou, its unique living environment has also created many special natural treasures. For example, this piece of Liuguang Luoze Jade and this piece of Sanyuan Bingzhu Jade are both special products of the Great Guangming Palace. By the way, there are rumors that these two kinds of jade are not naturally formed, but the monks of the Great Guangming Palace spent thousands of years cultivating and improving them bit by bit for the local people. There is no similar substitute except for the Great Guangming Palace."

As he spoke, Qian Xuan stretched out his hand and summoned two trays from the platform beside him, on which was placed a piece of cold jade and a piece of warm jade respectively.

Compared with ordinary cold jade and warm jade, these two pieces of jade are obviously different. Although Liuguang Luoze Jade is a cold jade, its characteristics are restrained and luminous. Simply put, when this piece of jade is worn on the body, it will absorb the surrounding cold air and emit a faint white light.

The Sanyuan Bingzhu Jade is even simpler and more crude, and can emit heat through subtle light.

Think about it, given the rumor that the area where the Great Light Palace is located is covered with ice and snow all year round, it is normal for the sect's monks to specially cultivate these two types of jade.
