TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1087: Chapter 442 Disaster Relief and Sympathy_2 Chapter 1087: Chapter 442 Disaster Relief and Sympathy_2 Otherwise, in a place like Chu State, where the societal ecosystem is relatively intact, the people from the same village, the same town, the same city, would really give you a real-life demonstration of what it means to impoverish a family and to drink human blood.

Regarding such negative social phenomena, Lu Yuan actually had some knowledge and truly abhorred it.

However, in a society lagging in technology, this is just instinctual behavior for the sake of reproduction.

Without a huge explosion in productive forces, even as an emperor, he was powerless to bring about change.

As for inventing technology and executing social reform,

I’m sorry to say,

he’s just an ordinary person after all, who, even with a bit of knowledge from a previous life, had returned most of what he learned to his teachers after so many years in society.

Now, to expect him to conjure up an industrial system out of his fragmented and incomplete knowledge is indeed overestimating Lu Yuan.

Moreover, in a Cultivation Society, or rather, during the High Martial Arts Era, truth be told, unless one invents modern missiles and airplanes, ordinary firearms and gunpowder wouldn’t be very effective.

Let’s not even discuss cultivators; for ordinary Martial Artists below Inborn Grandmasters, once they reach a secondary realm, common machine guns and artillery pose no threat.

Because at the secondary realm, Martial Artists begin to cultivate their spirit and, subconsciously, their senses for danger increase greatly.

If you point a gun at them, they can sense it in advance and take evasive action.

Even if a bullet is fired, a secondary realm Martial Artist could catch it barehanded.

The power released by a martial arts technique is actually not inferior to that of an average rifle bullet.

In a fight between Martial Artists, they can withstand martial arts techniques with their bodies, let alone common firearms.

Additionally, with spiritual intuition, ordinary Soldiers with firearms would have a hard time posing a threat to Martial Artists above the secondary realm.

If facing an Inborn Grandmaster, it would be an outright massacre.

Against Cultivators, with their profound Immortal Techniques, it’s even more difficult to deal with them.

Of course, all of the above applies only to a modern system that has completed the first or second industrial revolution.

On this side, with a High Martial Arts and Cultivation Society, there is an absolute Advantage in terms of martial power.

If technology advances further, with targeted developments, it could potentially suppress martial arts and cultivation.

However, just recognizing this point was enough to dissuade Lu Yuan from developing technologies.

Because he estimated that even if he spent a few hundred years accumulating and deducing knowledge, at most, he could only develop society to the level of a first or second revolution.

Anything further was beyond his capability; future geniuses would be needed.

And all this would still require a lot of Time.

Moreover, the world is different; the rules are different.

Whether the physical laws that applied in his previous life could be applied in this world was debatable.

After all, in his previous life, there was no Cultivation, no Martial Arts and Internal Strength; in this world, there is no technology, no industry—that itself speaks volumes.

Without the same environment, the same world, many things cannot be directly transferred.

Over the years, Lu Yuan had also tried some basic technological inventions, but except for some things that compliance with local rules, using previous life’s thoughts for certain modifications,

he failed to replicate inventions like generators or even high-powered explosives from his previous life.

After engaging over a hundred talents and thousands of experiments, he could only confirm that this was due to different world rules, a fundamental rejection.

After confirming this, he gave up on the idea of technology-based nation-building.

Instead, he aimed to enhance local technological rules to better develop the people’s livelihood.

And let it not be said,

in a world with Cultivation and martial arts, there indeed were some technologies that would appear as black magic in the eyes of the previous world.

Take for example, his Avatar that could communicate over nearly ten thousand miles, or the eagles gifted by the Barbarians that could travel three thousand miles in a single day.

Or martial arts and Internal Strength’s exploration of the human body’s mysteries.

Not to mention the Blessed Lands and Cavern Heavens and Divine Blood Variants, the mysterious Dao Laws of the Immortal Sects, and so on.

If all of these were developed, they might match or even surpass technologies.

At any rate, Lu Yuan believed that they would be stronger than the technology of his previous society.

After all, the Cultivators here can grasp the sun and the moon, turn rivers upside down, travel through space, and Ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Whereas the technology of his previous life might achieve this in the future, at the time of his transmigration, it was unable to do so.

It was a pity that this era was already The Age of Dharma Decline.

This abundance of precious Cultivation knowledge and wealth could not be utilized, which truly pained him.

Fortunately, for Lu Yuan, although this was somewhat regrettable, it wasn’t so difficult to let go.

After all, now that he himself could engage in Cultivation, he personally could enjoy and use the various Cultivation knowledge and technologies mentioned above.

It was only that he couldn’t promote them across the country or popularize them throughout The World.

Moreover, as the monarch of a country, even without a Technology Explosion, the enjoyments he should have were still there, and not much worse off.

In such circumstances, upon discovering that he couldn’t use the knowledge from his previous life and after experiencing the lack of a technology boom, naturally, there was no motivation left to study the technology of this world.

A monarch wasn’t likely to suffer, no matter how hard the times.

Embracing this simple idea, Lu Yuan gradually put these matters out of his mind.

It was only now, with resources suddenly becoming extremely scarce and many people within the kingdom suffering from hunger, that he recalled this previously abandoned concept.

“However, I have recently conducted a military downsizing; the northern Military Expedition forces, including local troops, all added up total just over six million.”
