On one hand, the invisible Qi Silk, if used unexpectedly, can easily secure victory over an enemy.

Especially when he employs the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand, perceiving the opponent’s Qi, a timely release of a single Qi Silk could directly determine the outcome.

Without the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand, even with Innate Qi, mastering the Innate Entangling Silk Hand would not be an easy task.

The more Kung Fu he possessed, the more formidable he became when improvising with the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand.

It could be said that the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand is a Divine Skill that grows stronger with practice, without limits; it all depends on how much insight and how high a Cultivation the practitioner has...

"Word is that the most formidable Absolute Skill of the Buddhist Sect that combines Magic and Martial Unity is called the Tathagata Divine Palm. Once mastered, it’s earth-shattering. However, the difficulty of Cultivation is rare in both ancient and modern times. I wonder if I will ever have the chance to obtain the complete Tathagata Divine Palm and practice it with the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand."

Even the Great Zen Temple only possesses one form of the Tathagata Divine Palm, controlled by the successive Abbots.

With this form of Tathagata Divine Palm, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster could inflict serious damage on a Martial Saint, and there might even be a chance of perishing together.

Red Moon didn’t learn this form in the past.

However, to train the Tathagata Divine Palm, one’s spirit, Qi, and essence must be highly unified. Given that Red Moon herself has mental issues, even if she acquired it, it is estimated she wouldn’t be able to Cultivate it.

Such legendary Absolute Skills, Xu Qing could only longingly yearn for now.

Feng Wu tested Xu Qing’s Innate Entangling Silk Hand. Even though she greatly esteemed her husband’s Martial Arts talent, it appears she still underestimated him.

Naturally, she did not know that the Divine Skill of the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand made Xu Qing’s training of any hand techniques or Divine Skills as easy as eating or drinking.

For instance, the hand seals of the Buddhist Sect, with their complex heritage, are known as the three thousand Dharma seals. Even a Martial Artist with high talent would need to spend decades to master them all; but for Xu Qing, perhaps only a month would be needed.

Xu Qing and Feng Wu then discussed the next most crucial matter.

"The matter of the Kong Mansion’s civil unrest cannot be easily resolved by the Court. The situation is complicated, but one thing is clear, we need to prepare by stockpiling as much grain as possible. This civil unrest won’t end quickly, and certainly, next year’s spring ploughing in East Mountain Province will be delayed. If next year’s harvest is poor again, many people will starve to death. During this time, numerous nobles will surely take the opportunity to annex more land. We can’t stop them, but we can create new livelihoods for those unable to survive."

In his previous life, finding a job was known as "finding a livelihood."

Xu Qing himself was also looking for a livelihood.

"Does husband mean to open more workshops?"

Xu Qing nodded, "Not only do we need to open workshops, but we must also train more embroiderers. The embroidery of Jiangning Prefecture is of fine workmanship. As long as we elevate our aesthetic standards a notch, our embroidery will have a market both Overseas and in other parts of the Great Yu Dynasty. Besides, we must also set up schools near the workshops..."

Xu Qing had spoken about these matters before, but he needed to repeat them, constantly emphasizing.

Many things cannot be expected to be remembered or understood after just one mention.

People understand as they go along.

Even Xu Qing could not expect to think of everything before starting.

When difficulties arise, solving them is the course of action.

Through this process, one’s ability to overcome difficulties will similarly improve, and one’s courage will also grow.

Pioneers in entrepreneurship have always needed the concerted efforts of both husband and wife to achieve great things.

These women, whether recorded in history books or not, do not hinder the roles they play behind the scenes.

In fact, Xu Qing wanted to save as many commoners as possible from under the Kong Mansion in East Mountain Province, not necessarily to bring them to South Zhili, but also to Liao Dong. Utilizing Mr. Wu’s opportunity as Inspector of Liao Dong, a batch of people could be planted there.

Near Liao Dong, there are islands suitable for raising troops and horses, mentioned by Meng Yuxuan during casual conversations. Xu Qing also sent people to explore and gather information.

Jiangning Prefecture is a good place that produces much money and grain, but it lacks natural defenses.

However, Jiangning Prefecture is near the sea, and Xu Qing can develop along the coast, leveraging his influence at sea.

But Liao Dong is to the north. If Xu Qing wants to expand his influence in Liao Dong, he must deal with forces like the Eastern Yi people and the Sea Sand Gang.

Many matters, once started, leave no room for turning back.

The same goes for what he does now.

Must strive.

Not just for himself, but also for the people around him.

Even if he solves the crisis of longevity and yearns for indulgence, those around him will push him step by step upwards.

...

...

On the other side, even though Xu Qing had estimated the intensity of the Kong Mansion’s civil unrest as high as possible, it was still underestimated.

In East Mountain Province, a large camp was stationed dozens of miles from the Yansheng Gong Mansion.

Luo Sect Master, Red-haired Yan Kong, Ghost-faced Fox, and other Evil Demons and outlaws, gathered inside the grand tent.

The Luo Sect Master was now a bit bewildered.

He merely took advantage of the situation to create an uprising, not expecting even the official troops to join in the rebellion.

One must say, the officials of East Mountain Province and the Kong Mansion were not much different when it comes to being worthlessly corrupt. In Great Yu, where Civil Servants were valued over Military Officers, this tendency was even more pronounced in East Mountain Province, a place known for its emphasis on propriety.

It’s fair to say, in front of Civil Servants and the Kong Mansion, Military Officers had as much say as servants.

Summoned and dismissed at will.

This time, when the Luo Sect Master organized people to revolt, indeed many responded. The calamity of the floods, being a natural and man-made disaster, further solidified the rebellious will of the lower classes.

Due to the floods, those Old Masters deliberately redirected the floodwaters, submerging the remaining few pieces of arable land and many homes of self-sufficient farmers in East Mountain Province.
