I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 178 Reaching Consensus
"But I don't understand." The fairy was puzzled. "Women also have spiritual bones. How are they different from men? Why does Liuyang Study only allow men to practice and sacrifice to the barrier tree?"

Cui Yurong was a native of the Xumi Realm, and had been taught this way since childhood. Upon hearing this, she said quietly, "People in the world believe that women's menstrual period is dirty."

"This is just a superficial excuse." Ruan Xing shook his head. "In fact, it is to promote population growth."

She saw in the memory of the barrier tree that the two men only captured thousands of children at the beginning.

But under their deliberate guidance, women are not allowed to do anything outside the rules and are forced into the position of childbearing.

So in less than thirty years, the population exceeded tens of thousands, and after thousands of years, it became more than one hundred thousand.

In her previous life, she had worked on a very ironic topic: how to promote population growth.

In addition to the seemingly normal options such as improving medical and health conditions and strengthening women's fertility protection, there is also a very outrageous option:

Reduce the educational level of women.

What's even more outrageous is that this is the correct answer.

When Ruan Xing saw the answer, he felt that the person who set the question had lost his mind.

Later I realized that the profound meaning contained in this question is to restrict women's thoughts and will and deprive them of their human rights.

This way she will let others manipulate her.

It’s just that in feudal society, this principle was implemented more thoroughly.

Ruan Xing explained the principle in simple terms. Fairy and Cui Yurong were not stupid, so they naturally understood it.

The fairy's cold eyes exuded chills, "Such dirty and despicable means are unworthy of being a son! Aren't these men born by my mother?"

Cui Yurong lowered her eyes and murmured, "No wonder it's like this..."

In the past, she was capable of running the family business and caravan. During the months when her father was in prison, she worked hard to maintain the business and run around to preserve the family business and the title of imperial merchant.

But in everyone's eyes, the family business must be left to the younger brother, even though the younger brother was just a baby who couldn't even walk steadily at that time.

In such an environment, she has always believed since childhood that women should get married and have children.

After hearing these words, the Demon Lord touched his nose in embarrassment.

The fairy glanced at him and asked, "Did I scold you?"

"Well, we demon cultivators live a life of drunkenness and dreams one day, and live happily the next day, so we don't care about those twists and turns." The Demon Lord laughed awkwardly, "Well, I'll go first. This mountain is so big, maybe I can encounter some interesting things."

After saying that, he quickly slapped the snake's head and quickly slipped away.

Seeing that the fairy had been provoked by her, Ruan Xing continued: "So I want to make changes, and I need a lot of people to help me."

"Okay, I understand. If I can help these poor mortals, I will listen to you." The fairy nodded.

"It will just delay the care of the Demon Lord."

"He cherishes his life." The fairy looked in the direction where the demon king left. "In order to survive, he has eaten everything in the cave. In the Xumi Realm, it is because no one there can threaten him. It is different outside. If he causes any trouble, any Yuanying cultivator can kill him. He dare not do anything reckless. He has lived for thousands of years, not to die at the hands of an unknown person."

However, the Demon Lord, who valued his life so much, was willing to share the power he had worked so hard to obtain with her in the secret cave to maintain his soul.

The fairy shook her head in annoyance and asked Ruan Xing, "What exactly do you need to do?"

Ruan Xing touched his chin, "There is no rush for the Xumi Realm. The first thing is to rebuild the mountain gate. Don't worry about the barrier and the mountain protection formation. I have reached an agreement with the barrier tree. It will be responsible for these things. Fairy, do you understand the formation? Can you help me check if there are any traces of formations in the damaged places of these houses and palaces? If there are, I can repair them."

"I know a little bit." The fairy replied.

"Hu San!" Ruan Xing called Hu San over. "Take your disciples who are in the Qi training stage and clean up the battlefield. Pile up the corpses and burn them. Collect the magic tools and storage bags and other items and put them into the warehouse in different categories for me to deal with later. If there are any things you don't recognize, go ask the fairy or the demon king."

"Yes, Master!" Hu San took the order and left.

Now everyone has something to do.

But Ruan Xing always felt like he had forgotten something.

She looked around and wanted to erase the words "Liuyang Study" above her head, but when she thought of some disciples outside who had not fallen into the trap, she stopped.

"Oh, that's right!" Ruan Xing slapped his forehead, "Where's my sister? Sister, I'll take you to overcome the tribulation!"

She shouted a few times and called Ruan Tao out from the crowd.

Ruan Tao sighed, "How did you grow up so much in a short time? I couldn't recognize you when you were so powerful just now."

"That's because I'm gifted and reached the Nascent Soul stage early, so I made myself a new body." Ruan Xing smiled and scratched his head, "When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can also change your body. Let's go and transcend the tribulation first."

With the experience in the simulation, Ruan Xing took Ruan Tao to buy magical tools and found a piece of open space to survive the tribulation.

After Ruan Tao successfully formed the golden elixir, he took her back to the Xumi Realm.

With the roots given to her by the barrier tree, the two were finally able to return to the barrier.

It has only been three short years, but Ruan Xing felt as if he was in another world as he looked at the bustling streets in front of him that seemed strange yet familiar.

"What do we do now?"

Ruan Xing came back to his senses and said, "Let me take you to practice. You haven't fought with other monks yet, right?"

Ruan Tao only learned cultivation and theory from the fairy, but had never put it into practice.

One is that the other disciples’ cultivation is only at the Qi training stage and is too low, while Ruan Tao has to start from the foundation building stage, so there is no benefit in fighting with them.

Second, Hu San, the only one with the same cultivation level as her, is not only busy with affairs every day, but he had also reached the innate realm before he started practicing. His physical strength is higher than Ruan Tao's, and he has many years of experience as a warrior.

Also gained nothing.

This time, she can have a chance to compete with the one in the Imperial Master's Palace.

Anyway, the old men in Liuyang Study are not good at fighting.

Maybe it's just a fight between noobs.

Ruan Xing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, go ahead. I'm here and I won't let you get hurt."

"it is good."

The two of them arrived at the National Master's Palace and went straight to the Star-Picking Platform.

He originally wanted to destroy the roof of the Star-Picking Platform with one sword, but then he thought that he would need the Imperial Master Palace in the future, and it would not be cost-effective to destroy it and then rebuild it, so he stopped.

Just challenge in front of the palace gate.

An old man in Taoist robes and with an immortal look soon came out. It seemed that his cultivation was only one level higher than Ruan Tao.

Ruan Xing then gave Ruan Tao a look of relief, asking her to take action while he stood by to support her.

"Use my sword first." Ruan Xing gave her his mid-grade magic sword.

Ruan Tao currently has no magical weapon of her own to use.

Ruan Tao rushed forward without hesitation with the sword in hand. However, she didn't know much about magic, and sometimes she used moves that were subconsciously based on the moves she had learned from her previous martial arts training.

After fighting for thirty or fifty moves, he was at a disadvantage.

Seeing that Ruan Tao was running out of spiritual power, Ruan Xing waved over and a beam of white jade sword light pierced through the old man's body, killing him.

Ruan Tao said with some shame: "I can't beat him."

"It doesn't matter, sister, you have only been practicing for less than three years, but this old man has been practicing for 10 to 20 years. You will become more powerful in the future."

Ruan Xing comforted Ruan Tao and put the old man's body into the storage bag.

She now has no puppets left and is in urgent need of fresh ammunition.

Moreover, the old man’s identity is still useful for the time being, and his death cannot be discovered by others.

The divine consciousness spread out and swept across the entire capital.

After a while, I saw a few familiar people.

There are several old eunuchs in the imperial palace, and a young master Liu who currently lives in a mansion in the capital.

Her mind moved, and she clenched her hands slightly, and a figure appeared in front of the Star-Picking Platform.

The man staggered a bit, and only after Ruan Xing let go of his hand did he stand firm.

The man looked around warily and panickedly. After spotting Ruan Xing and the other man, he took only a few seconds to identify them before bowing and saying, "Boss Ruan."

"You actually recognized me?" Ruan Xingqi asked.

She is now her original form, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

In three years, a six-year-old turned into sixteen. How could a mortal who had never been exposed to any cultivation methods guess this in an instant?

"There is no major change in appearance, and Miss Ruan Tao is here too."

Liu Shouye calmed down and replied.

He seems to be much more mature and stable than he was a few years ago.

He no longer looks like the romantic young man in brocade clothes and folding fan.

He was even wearing a military officer's uniform.

I was just sitting at home, but was suddenly taken to a strange place by a mysterious force. If I were an ordinary mortal, I would have been scared to death.

And he can see the situation clearly.

After he rejected Ruan Xing once before, the Red Head Gang and he had only a simple cooperative relationship. There were only related interests involved, but not too many emotional connections, so he did not know about the Red Head Gang's plan for all members to cultivate immortality.

But now that he is a high-ranking official, when he saw a former gang leader using mysterious means, he quickly lowered his head and put himself in the position of a lower-level person.

No wonder he was promoted so quickly, it wasn't just because of good luck.

However, Ruan Xing only learned about Liu Shouye's promotion from Hu San, but he didn't know what position he held after being promoted to the capital, so he asked, "How are you doing now?"

Liu Shouye understood what she meant, and said, "Thanks to your majesty's favor, I will be promoted to the general director, in charge of the important affairs of the patrol security department."

"Soshi, what rank?"

Nguyen Xing didn't know much about the court structure of this dynasty.

Liu Shouye paused, "Third rank."

"Amazing! It's only been more than three years, and you've been promoted from Left Commander to Chief Commander." Ruan Xing praised.

This involves at least four or five levels.

"It was just luck." Liu Shouye said.

Ruan Xing asked, "What have you been doing recently? It's almost dawn, and you're still not asleep. I saw you looking so sad at home just now."

Liu Shouye could see that Ruan Xing was no longer on the same level as him, so there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth: "An official in the court disappeared yesterday. We checked his home and found no trace. His property was all there. It didn't look like he had fled for fear of crime, but his wife was missing too..."

As soon as Ruan Xing heard it, he knew what was going on.

Yesterday, Sun Xianlai took the male protagonist away. The male protagonist thought he was seeking immortality and was so excited that he forgot everything. Anyway, he was an orphan and his wife was killed by him. There was nothing in the world that he could care about.

But it left Liu Shouye with a difficult problem.

Ruan Xing gestured for him to continue with interest.

"After a thorough investigation, I found that when he first took office at the Household Taxation Bureau at the beginning of the year, he used his wife's family to fill the deficit of the Bureau and killed his wife's brother and sister. I wanted to use the excuse of fleeing for fear of crime to close the case. However, I can do something about the property, but I can't explain the matter of his wife. Moreover...this man and I have different political views. I am afraid that no matter how this case is closed, it will be a stain on me." Liu Shouye paused, frowned and said, "Perhaps this man is a trick used by the Prime Minister's party to attack me. After all, I am the only minister of His Majesty, and I was promoted quickly, so it is inevitable that I will be envied and hated."

"It's so complicated." Ruan Xing sighed.

Liu Shouye was making a knife for the emperor and doing the work of the Jinyiwei.

Maybe he is a minor villain in the original plot.

"I have solved this matter for you. Don't investigate the case these days. Just help me investigate everyone who has entered the National Master's Palace in the past hundred years, including those retired old ministers, their servants, and the Taoist children who have been in the National Master's Palace since childhood." Ruan Xing said.

"This is a huge project. The people mentioned by Gang Leader Ruan must number at least several thousand..."

Moreover, it has been a hundred years, and many old events are difficult to investigate.

Liu Shouye hesitated and said, "And your Majesty has ordered me to solve this case within three days..."

Ruan Xing said: "It won't take three days. Just listen to my investigation. I will solve the problem of your Majesty."

Ruan Tao pursed her lips and stepped forward and said, “Mr. Liu, you may not understand who we are and what we are doing now, but listen to my sister and I won’t embarrass you.”

She turned around and explained to Ruan Xing, "Before Young Master Liu took office as the capital, many of the things Hu San encountered when expanding the Red Head Gang were done under Young Master Liu's protection. I have also met Young Master Liu several times. He is a good person."

Good people. Ruan Xing’s biggest headache is good people, especially those who are saintly and love-brained.

But for Ruan Tao's sake, Ruan Xing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go back first. I'll tell you what I said, and you can think about it. It doesn't matter if you don't do it."

Ruan Xing sent Liu Shouye out of the National Master's Palace and let him go home by himself.

It’s not that she didn’t want to show off her skills to Liu Shouye.

But... for now, she can only take this magical power and not give it back.

If she hadn't upgraded her magical powers when she was controlling those puppets in Liuyang Study yesterday, she might not be able to use her magical powers to capture living people today and could only capture objects.

"Let's go." After seeing Liu Shouye off, Ruan Xing also planned to take Ruan Tao back.

She summoned the magic sword and the two of them rode on it. She still used the middle-grade magic sword to fly the sword, mainly because she didn't want to step on Gillian.

But what had she forgotten?
