Chapter 354 Past Dreams 25
Then, to the astonishment of Wei Chaoyan and the others, the entire "Liqi" (the name given to the last refuge of Lan Xichen and the others) land recovered and developed at an astonishing speed!
At least, after Wei Wuxian and the others finally managed to temporarily halt the deteriorating trend of the entire Burial Mound collapsing and the endless eruption of resentment, and greatly reduced the scale of the tens of thousands of fierce corpses and vengeful ghosts from the Burial Mound surging out to the outside world, and after they joined forces to almost interrupt the awakening of the most ferocious and terrifying evil spirits sleeping in the deepest part of the Burial Mound, they finally managed to steal half a day of leisure to temporarily leave the Burial Mound and return to the Lan Clan.
The scenes of daily life on the streets are as vivid as they were yesterday.
If it weren't for the extremely narrow space, if it weren't for the constant struggle between the pale golden light symbolizing the defensive formation and the inky black mist, the epitome of resentment, that could be seen above the towering sky, if it weren't for the thick, boundless layers of resentment that seemed almost to melt into liquid and freeze upon crossing the pale golden array boundary...
This clearly reminds Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji (just in case, only Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji temporarily left the Burial Mound to return and exchange information with the people in the rear, while the rest of them stayed at the Burial Mound to monitor the situation) of the objective fact that the world-destroying calamity has already irreversibly descended.
Wei Wuxian and his companion both believed that everything that had happened before was just a hallucination or nightmare caused by an unknown evil spirit that had inadvertently played a trick on them!
It should be noted that only a year and a half had passed since Wei Wuxian and his group arrived at the Burial Mound.
In other words, Lan Xichen and the others only spent a little over a year restoring peace and prosperity to the survivors and the world!
Their methods were nothing short of ingenious!
It seems that catastrophic disasters are indeed the ultimate touchstone for testing talent!
After sighing, the two hurried along the street toward the address Lan Xichen had conveyed through the communication talisman, hoping to meet up with them as soon as possible, exchange the information they had, and carefully discuss how to face and successfully overcome the current cataclysmic calamity.
Yes, in order to handle emergencies and many miscellaneous matters quickly and easily, Lan Xichen and others did not set up their office in the Cloud Recesses hidden in the mountains, but instead found a location with a wide view and convenient transportation in the "Liqi" area, and set up a new office there - Tinghong Hall.
Due to their busy schedules, Lan Xichen and the others spent most of their time in Tinghong Palace and rarely returned to Cloud Recesses.
At the same time, because the land area of "Liqi" is small and the number of living beings is large, in order to ensure the safety and order of daily life, Lan Xichen and others strictly ordered that cultivators should not use swords, teleportation talismans, or ride horses to travel unless the distance is too far.
It just so happens that Tinghong Palace is located on a plain fifty miles away from Caiyi Town, which is not too far for cultivators.
Therefore, Wei Wuxian and his companion, who were anxious to find the person, had no choice but to walk towards Tinghong Palace!
When the two, weary from their journey, arrived at Tinghong Palace, Lan Xichen and Nie Huaisang, who had already received the information, were already standing outside the palace gates waiting for them.
Guided by Lan Nie and Wei Wuxian, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji walked through a long corridor and entered the main room specially set up for meetings. Inside, they saw a dozen or so familiar or unfamiliar faces already sitting peacefully in front of the neatly arranged jade mats.
There were patriarchs of immortal sects whom he had met a few times before, his familiar subordinates, and even unfamiliar rogue cultivators dressed simply but with abundant spiritual power, and mortals with weathered faces and no spiritual power but bright eyes!
Of course, the highly respected Lan Qiren, the new Lan clan leader Lan Jingyi, Lan Sizhui, and Baoshan Sanren were also seated at the table.
Perhaps due to the urgency of the situation, no one bothered with pleasantries. They exchanged a brief bow and returned to their seats, solemnly awaiting Lan Xichen and Nie Huaisang to speak.
Without further ado, the two looked up and their eyes met for a moment. Then, Nie Huaisang, who was holding a fan, went straight to the point and explained the current situation of "Li Qi" to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, who had just returned.
"...There are places that have not yet been corrupted by resentment..."
"Currently, there are a total of 3,2752 survivors, including 31,000 cultivators, 8,000 of whom are high-level cultivators, and fewer than 800 are Golden Core cultivators!"
"The remaining population consists of 30% elderly, women and children, 50% young and middle-aged people, and 20% people who are injured or seriously ill."
"Available medicinal herbs..."
They went on and on, each point supported by incredibly precise data, allowing Wei Wuxian and his companion to quickly understand and grasp the current situation from all angles.
But overall, the outlook is not very optimistic!
Wei Wuxian frowned in deep thought, while Lan Wangji's gaze was also heavy.
"That concludes the entire situation within 'Li Qi'!" After saying the last sentence without taking a breath, Nie Huaisang bowed with his fan, glanced lightly at Lan Xichen, sat up straight, and decisively shut his mouth.
Lan Xichen immediately chimed in, his voice still firm and reassuring: "In order to deal with the current predicament, after discussing with Huaisang, Xichen has decided to open all the classic texts except for the core cultivation techniques of the family to the public, and to start a nationwide cultivation campaign to increase manpower and alleviate the pressure on our frontline cultivators!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Qiren suddenly raised his head, clenched his fingers tightly, raised his eyebrows, and pursed his lips into a flat line, but he did not say anything to stop him. It was clear that Lan Xichen had consulted with him beforehand.
As for the others in the room, apart from Nie Huaisang who already knew the truth, they all looked bewildered, as if they had heard a fairy tale.
Even Lan Wangji, who was usually expressionless, couldn't help but have his pupils widen in shock, his eyes surging with emotion!
Lan Xichen smiled, then looked at Wei Wuxian seriously: "In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, the most urgent problem we need to solve is the literacy issue among the people. Therefore, if we want the whole nation to cultivate immortality, we must ensure that the whole nation is literate!"
"Don't be envious, just watch!"
As he spoke, Lan Xichen swept his robes and pulled out a palm-sized jade pendant, handing it to Wei Wuxian.
"This is a learning tool painstakingly researched and developed by the fellow Daoists of Tiangong Hall in order to achieve the goal of popularizing literacy efficiently, effectively, and quickly. This is a sample. Take a look and see if it is effective, if it can be improved, and if it can be promoted."
