Chapter 174 Decree on Rest and Leave
After searching for a while, they found another secret treasure chest.

Opening the treasure chest revealed flower seeds, mostly spirit seeds.

In addition, there is a brewing recipe and a cultivation manual.

The technique is called the "Flower Morning Technique," a dual cultivation method that combines the male's primordial yang and the female's primordial yin with the power of creation to create the "Flower Morning Seed." Once the seed sprouts and blossoms, one can collect the flowers, refine them, and increase the three treasures.

In theory, this method, as long as the primordial yin and primordial yang are abundant enough, can continuously increase the three treasures through dual cultivation.

But the primordial yin and primordial yang will eventually run out, and that's when they hit a bottleneck.

It belongs to unorthodox practices.

But what if you take it in combination with aphrodisiacs and yin-nourishing medicines? And then continue to replenish your body through diet.

From the perspective of the human body, as long as you don't practice dual cultivation every day, practicing dual cultivation once every three to five days is enough to restore your primordial yang and primordial yin.

However, there is a drawback to practicing this method: it is difficult to have offspring.

Because offspring are the "seeds of the Flower Festival," a combination of primordial yin and primordial yang.

Song Wuji felt that this technique should not be made public, as it was somewhat unsuitable for children.

Moreover, if one's primordial yang and primordial yin are insufficient, it could lead to a serious crime of passion, or even a notorious womanizer who disrupts public order.

However, Lin Pandi was certainly suited to cultivate this technique. Her initial, unranked ritual was of this type, but now that she had completed the ritual, she had achieved the ninth rank and become a top-tier performer among flowers.

Lin Pandi's abilities include relying on her natal flower goddess or flower basket artifacts to release plant-based spells.

However, this method is relatively weak in terms of offensive capabilities, consisting of spreading pollen fragrance and manipulating vines. Pollen fragrance can be positive, such as detoxifying and purifying the mind, or negative, such as poisoning and bewitching the mind.

Another one is the word "actor".

It is a purely supportive ability that provides a certain amplification or control effect on musical instruments, singing, and dancing.

Song Wuji simply gave her all the ornaments made from butterflies and moths, turning her into a complete butterfly.

I hope she can go further and worship the Flower Goddess in Qionghua Garden, bestowing the authentic ritual. At that time, even if we don't talk about dual cultivation, it would be great if she could just set up something like a song and dance troupe and hold song and dance performances for the people of the city from time to time.

The brewing recipe is exactly what the Fairy Qionghua mentioned as the "Hundred Flowers Nectar".

This is not actually made by brewing wine with pure flower petals; it is still made with grains, but flower petals are mixed into the grains.

And it can't be a real hundred kinds of petals, each kind added in, one flower for one kind of wine.

For example, the Qionghua flower is used to make Qionghua wine, the peach blossom flower is used to make peach blossom wine, and the chrysanthemum flower is used to make chrysanthemum wine.

Finally, these wines are mixed in the correct proportions to create the Hundred Flowers Elixir.

This is wine brewed by the female immortal herself, so it has a low alcohol content. The final product also requires the use of honey from various flowers, making it a sweet wine.

Inside this treasure chest is a gourd of Hundred Flower Elixir, which, when consumed regularly, can enhance the three treasures (life, energy, and magic power), while also greatly restoring life, true energy, and magical power, and possessing detoxifying properties.

Song Wuji sighed, "There's a shortage of food right now, where would we find any surplus to brew wine?"

However... brewing is one of the many trades. If you can't brew wine, you can still make vinegar. I wonder if this can stimulate the development of this profession?

The ancestor of wine is Du Kang. When we have the ability to brew wine, we can try to offer sacrifices to him. As for this gourd of Hundred Flower Elixir, Song Wuji only tasted it himself and found it a bit too sweet. He'll save it for cooking, or use it to entertain ghosts and gods when he goes to the underworld.

As for the soldiers who were banging drums and gongs, they had all been burned alive by the fire, and now they were grimacing but dared not groan.

If we're talking about awkwardness... it would definitely be awkward if only one person was caught, but there were more than a dozen men on the scene who were seduced by the flower fairy, and they all performed gongs and drums, so it wasn't awkward at all. Instead, they started talking about it in hushed tones, and some even became proud, simply because they were above average.

It wasn't until Song Wuji found a moment to announce the punishment that he said, "I saw that you all performed with great enthusiasm and effort! How about we set up a brothel in the city and have you perform for a month in front of your relatives and friends, beating gongs and drums?"

The soldiers immediately blushed with embarrassment; this punishment was comparable to exposing browser history or cloud storage resources.

Song Wuji sneered: "So you still have a sense of shame. How can demons be good? Now that you have been depleted by logging, who knows if you can recover in the future? You will probably all be useless. Why not just cut off these two ounces of flesh and make eunuchs? That would be one of the many professions. Let's see if there are any rituals for the transformation of heaven and earth."

Song Wuji said these words.

Their spiritual roots immediately shrank, and they felt a murderous intent emanating from them.

"Lord! We were all seduced! These flower fairies used some kind of magic to make us so infatuated! Now, you can beat us or scold us, we'll endure it, but please don't turn us into eunuchs!"

"Yes! Yes! I'd rather perform gongs and drums; losing face is better than losing my head."

Upon hearing this, Song Wuji laughed in anger: "I'll punish you by making you do hard labor. Do you have any objections?"

"no comment!"

They were all afraid of having no descendants.

Song Wuji said, "Now that we are building a city and constructing a garrison, although we have some craftsmen, we lack laborers and also lack wood, stone and mortar, so we need people to cut down trees."

"Then you shall be allowed to specialize in this. If you fail to complete the task, you shall be punished for all your crimes."

"We will definitely accomplish it!"

Song Wuji had the malt boy record their names and write them down in a book to prevent them from defaulting on their debts. Only then did he ride a cloud of dust and disappear into Taichang City.

Upon returning to Taichang City, the Qionghua Garden Secret Realm Token was inserted into the Seven-Colored Lotus Platform, adding another law to the Taichang Realm and another place for the supply of fortune.

Song Wuji thought that the law represented by the Qionghua Garden Secret Realm Token might be related to brothels, but in fact it was a "rest and leave law".

In other words, it's about managing holidays. Nowadays, it seems that there are no statutory holidays in Taichang County. Everyone works every day, leaving early and returning late. At first, this is fine, but after a while, people become very tired. Even if there are some entertainment activities at night, it is difficult to relieve the mental fatigue after long hours of work.

If someone dies from overwork or falls ill, that would be a huge loss.

Song Wuji thought about it and decided that the holidays should be added gradually, not all at once. So he raised his token and issued a decree that there would be one day off every ten days.

That means working nine days, resting one day, and having three days off per month.

This kind of law doesn't consume much of one's luck, so Song Wuji simply issued holiday leave, wedding leave, and funeral leave.

They just didn't utilize the dreaded work-rest system.

Who would have thought that once these decrees were issued, not only did the fortune not diminish, but it actually surged, increasing by 15% in one go.

Song Wuji then summoned the rites official from the six departments of the county government and ordered him to announce the new regulations on rest and leave to address the people's immediate needs.
