Peerless Taoist

The court assembly lasted for four hours.    

Fortunately, those who could participate in the court assembly were all experts with profound cultivation levels. Even if they were to stand for four hours, they would not feel tired at all.    

"Next, I have a personal matter to attend to." Lu Yu suddenly opened his mouth and said: "This year, we will be holding the wedding of the Wuan Grand Princess. This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzheng Temple. All the expenses will be paid for by my private bank, and it must be done in a luxurious and spectacular manner."    

"Thank you."    

The ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzheng Temple received the edict. They looked at each other and a hint of shock flashed across their eyes.    

The Royal Princess was actually going to get married!    

It was said that His Majesty and the Grand Princess had a deep relationship with each other. It was also reasonable for the Grand Princess's wedding to be grand and luxurious. Furthermore, it was Lu Yu who was paying for it himself, so no matter how luxurious it was, no one else would say anything.    

However, who was the son-in-law?    

...    

In Xianyang City, the streets were bustling.    

Ever since the city wall had been torn down and the government had built a few more wide streets, the entire Xianyang City could be said to have been developing vigorously. The atmosphere of business was extremely strong.    

On the two sides of the streets, there were countless shops, restaurants, teahouses, equipment, antiques, pawnshop banks... everything was there. One would know everything just by looking at it. One could feel the prosperity of Xianyang just by looking at the details.    

There was no one following Lu Yu. He was dressed in embroidered clothes and looked like an ordinary scholar walking on the side of the street.    

Traffic was smooth, and large business circles appeared all over Xian Yang City. They spread to the surrounding areas, and the livelihood of the people was adequately improved. Countless people flocked to Xianyang to do business. This place became the economic center of the entire Great Qin.    

At the end of every street, there were more than two constables wearing black armor, sitting cross-legged on the lookout tower. They seemed to be meditating, but they were actually using magic to monitor their surroundings. Nothing could escape their eyes.    

Within Xianyang City, there were strict rules.    

Anyone that broke the rules and fought within the city or disturbed the order would be punished, and those that were even more serious would be executed.    

Therefore, there would even be Mystic Immortals bargaining with mortals on the streets. This wouldn't happen in the outside world at all.    

"Newspapers! Newspapers! The Imperial Court is going to hold an official selection test this year. Anyone with a clean background under the age of fifty can sign up!" Someone shouted in his ear.    

This was a new trick that Great Qin had come up with. Apart from the publications, they also used government funds to set up agencies such as the Wide Communications Society and the Heavenly Communications Society. They also released newspapers that recorded the policies of the state, as well as some new things, and they were widely sold.    

"This is the National Fate!"    

Lu Yu stood in the crowd and felt the waves of faith coming from the crowd.    

These beliefs were invisible and formless, but they continued to support the National Aura, making the Empire prosper, and at the same time, they were also helping Lu Yu's cultivation progress.    

Lu Yu's current cultivation efficiency was about sixty times that of the Daolord.    

This was already a rather terrifying figure. Usually, an ordinary Daolord would need sixty days to catch up to the amount of cultivation he had obtained after sitting cross-legged for a day.    

But even so, it was still extremely difficult to advance to the Earth Realm.    

"After accumulating enough strength, there will always be a process to accumulate strength. As the saying goes, overdoing it is just as bad as not being able to do it. My foundation is still not enough."    

Lu Yu thought to himself. He had already walked to the corner of the street, where there was a courtyard.
