Chapter 1027
One First Great Immortal Manifestation Assembly in the World brought Qingming over 500 Dao foundation ancestors, as well as over 100,000 students and disciples of the ancestors and relatives from all over the hometown.
Entering Qingming, some ancestors believed in living in seclusion in the city, so they chose to live in the two cities of Yong'an and Ding'an, while others believed that they should live in seclusion in the mountains and fields, so they chose to settle in border cities.
Regardless of whether it was great seclusion or small seclusion, after coming to Qingming, they were like a drop of water falling into the sea, truly hidden.
After settling down, the ancestors discovered that their left and right neighbors, front streets and back courtyards, were all Dao foundations; throwing a brick on the street could hit several Dao foundations. With so many Dao foundations, and then listening to their own disciples calling them "ancestor" one by one, the ancestors themselves felt a bit embarrassed, so they quietly changed their titles.
Qingming's laws were quite strict and complete. Many ancestors' disciples had just arrived and habitually took out the posture of running rampant in the village, causing trouble, but not only were they beaten up by the street vendors they wanted to bully, they were also taken into prison.
The ancestors helped their relatives instead of reason, clamoring to stand up for their disciples, and then they were also taken down and locked up next to their apprentices.
Taken down in the afternoon, the verdict came down in the evening, with several pages of reasoning and evidence.
Given that it was not a big mistake, and it was a first offense, the prosperity of the myriad worlds judged it relatively lightly, only imprisoning them for one year, and after fully compensating the other party, they could deduct the sentence through meritorious service.
After being slapped unconscious by the law enforcement cultivator, the Dao foundation ancestors had long lost their arrogance, so they humbly asked how to obtain meritorious service. At this moment, there was no war around Qingming, and the only way to obtain meritorious service quickly now was: work. If the ancestor wanted to work, the sentence could be postponed.
The law enforcement cultivator listed various possible jobs for the ancestor. The content of the work was different, but the daily salary was roughly the same. So the ancestor chose the job of a power-supplying array cultivator that looked the most bright and decent. Working here for half a year could deduct one year of the sentence, and subsequent meritorious service could be used to exchange for Qingyuan and improve life.
Fortunately, everyone had just entered Qingming, and life had already improved significantly, so this demand was not too high. They found that as long as they worked seriously in Qingming, they could eat meat every meal. And before settling in Qingming, even the direct disciples of Dao foundation ancestors couldn't eat meat every day. If they didn't eat enough meat, Body Forging would naturally be slow.
In the current Qingming system, only some jobs could obtain meritorious service, including power-supplying arrays, underground mining, and factories. Meritorious service could be exchanged for Qingyuan, but Qingyuan could not be exchanged for meritorious service. This was to prevent rich people from deducting sentences just by spending money.
Light crimes deduct sentences, money is useless, must use merit to offset; this is the concept of the prosperity of the myriad worlds, and it is actually Wei Yuan's concept.
After this Dao foundation ancestor entered the power-supplying array, he found that the surroundings were all template cultivators, and he immediately felt disdain. Then, after a day of work, the ancestor found that because he didn't work seriously, he hadn't beaten the template cultivators!
This is unbearable, the ancestor still wanted face, so the second day he only slacked off a few times, and then still didn't beat the template cultivators.
The ancestor was furious and finally wanted to be serious!
The third day the ancestor didn't slack off, and still didn't beat the template cultivators.
The ancestor was stunned, only to find that the template cultivators were not only focused, but all of them were outputting with all their strength! The ancestor didn't understand, it was just a part-time job, was it necessary to be so serious?
Couldn't figure it out, but from the fourth day on, the Dao foundation ancestor finally killed a group of template cultivators and sat in the ranking he should sit in. It was just that from this day on, after the ancestor got off work and went home, he couldn't even read storybooks.
During this period, the ancestor's disciples gradually found suitable jobs and immediately started working vigorously, and then they didn't want to read storybooks when they went home, so naturally, the number of times they came to visit the ancestor became less.
The ancestor was also helpless; after all, it was a good thing that everyone could eat by their own ability.
Not long after, the ancestor's chief disciple, who was also in the Dao foundation realm, also found a job in a factory, and then the disciples found that the cultivation methods issued by Qingming were actually much better than those taught by the ancestor, and they were issued for free! Learning kung fu from the ancestor required carrying water for three years, chopping wood for five years, and cooking for seven years, and then they could get a few scraps of cultivation methods.
Subsequently, the disciples found that they could exchange for a large number of powerful cultivation methods through meritorious service, and as long as their talent was sufficient, they could even learn the Six Arts of Body Forging of the Primordial Palace!
Thus, since they discovered that there were cultivation methods to learn, no one came to the door of the disciples and relatives anymore.
