After chatting with Zhang Yumeng for a long time and learning about all the changes in Divine Land in detail, Li Xingkong finally felt that he had once again integrated into this rapidly changing society.
Afterwards, Li Xingkong recounted his experiences and observations along the way to Zhang Yumeng in detail: the merchant fleet, the StarCraft Convention, the Snail People's civilization, and the attitude of the suzerain state behind it. Zhang Yumeng recorded everything using her magical artifact.
There are many things here that even she doesn't have the authority to decide. When it comes to matters involving communication with extraterrestrial civilizations, the higher-ups in Divine Land have to discuss and formulate a plan.
The placement of the Convention emblem and the agreement with the Sihali Kingdom are of paramount importance. As for the matters concerning the Snail People, Li Xingkong has already dealt with them and only submitted a report to Divine Land, so Divine Land doesn't need to worry about them too much.
Although the current political system in Divine Land is quite efficient, the information brought by Li Xingkong is too important to be resolved in just one or two days. After Li Xingkong finished recounting his observations, Zhang Yumeng hurriedly left with the recorded documents.
This thing is highly classified, and she wouldn't trust anyone to escort it; it's better for her to personally deliver it to its proper place.
As for Li Xingkong, Zhang Yumeng told him where Li Xingkong's parents were. Li Xingkong didn't stay any longer and got up to go to where the old couple were.
Although the elderly couple had little ability and had spent their entire lives working the land, they had a good son, so their place of residence was naturally different from that of ordinary cultivators; the two of them settled on the moon.
The closer Li Xingkong got to the location where the two had settled, the more familiar it seemed.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was the place where Li Xingkong had settled the Moon-Chasing Island when he first landed on the moon. It was just that the renovation of this place was so extensive that he didn't recognize it at first.
Originally, near the Moon-Chasing Island was Guanghan City, the first city built by Divine Land on the moon. Now, this so-called Guanghan City has developed into a real urban area.
The heavy industrial equipment here has disappeared, replaced by towering buildings in the style of traditional Chinese architecture. Looking around, there are at least a million people living in Guanghan City, providing basic material supplies for the operation of the entire lunar ecosystem.
The elderly couple lived on the outskirts of Guanghan City, in a vast, artificially modified medicinal herb field.
The moment Li Xingkong arrived at the herb field, he spotted his Father Li. He was standing on the edge of the field, making hand seals and showering the surrounding herbs with spiritual rain, nourishing the countless spiritual plants within.
"Dad!"
Li Xingkong landed in front of him and greeted him warmly.
When Father Li heard the voice, he was a little unfamiliar with it. After a couple of seconds, he realized that Li Xingkong had returned.
"You little brat..."
He carefully examined Li Xingkong to toe, and then called out Mother Li as well.
As soon as his mother saw Li Xingkong, she rushed over and hugged Li Xingkong, tears streaming down her face.
The family hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they exchanged pleasantries.
The elderly couple had been living a comfortable life for years. They had more wealth than they could ever spend, and because of Li Xingkong, they lived in the city. But the longer they lived in the city, the more uncomfortable they became. They had nothing to do all day, and being idle made them restless.
So after arriving on the moon, the two of them took the initiative to ask the cultivators who were protecting them for advice, wanting to find a field to cultivate.
Divine Land, naturally, did the same, cultivating a medicinal field on the moon and entrusting it to the two of them to manage.
The couple devoted themselves to the medicinal herb field and began researching spiritual plants. Over the years, with their extensive farming experience, they have developed many kinds of spiritual herbs of high value, and as a result, they successfully obtained an offer of employment from the Heavenly Palace Institute.
They won this through their own abilities, and since then, they have been unstoppable, going further and further down the path of spiritual plants, and now they can be considered experts.
Of course, none of this mattered to Li Xingkong. What mattered most was that his parents had found their own hobbies, were able to devote themselves to them without any worries, and derive greater enjoyment from them.
Since the Convention and the symbols of the Sihali Kingdom are still in his possession, Li Xingkong plans to stay at home with his parents until the arrangements for these items are finalized before making any moves elsewhere.
Old Tang's Five Manors Temple wasn't on the moon or Earth Star, but directly on the Spiritual Root Mother Tree that had been set up beforehand. It's said that after the departmental functions and names were redefined, Old Tang jokingly said that Five Manors Temple couldn't be without Ginseng Fruit, and then an old friend assigned this Spiritual Root Mother Tree to him.
And so, in a jest, Old Tang's Five Manors Temple was set up on the Spiritual Root Mother Tree, and incidentally, the responsibility of harvesting the Spiritual Root every year was also assigned to him.
During the few days he stayed at home, Li Xingkong completely put aside his cultivation and devoted himself to accompanying his parents Heavenly Capital, cleaning, cooking, working in the fields, and studying spiritual plants, living like an ordinary spiritual plant grower.
But Li Xingkong didn't reject this kind of life. He found joy in the simple, ordinary days. If one day Li Xingkong's cultivation reached its so-called end, his life afterward might still be just as peaceful and carefree.
Unfortunately, he can only enjoy this time for a short while. The universe is too vast, and there are too many forces and threats that could easily disrupt this peaceful life. And in the entire Divine Land, he is currently the only one who can keep these threats out.
Either he must cultivate to the point where he can overpower the entire known universe, or he must wait for Divine Land's national strength to leap forward so that it can secure a place in this Convention before he can truly begin to enjoy this kind of life.
The elderly couple had both reached the Foundation Establishment in their cultivation, and their Divine Sense could already extend slightly outside their bodies. However, when they needed to use their Magic Power, they still inevitably needed the assistance of Spiritual Qi, something Li Xingkong discovered after living with them for a few days.
Perhaps due to the assistance of the Hexagram Computer, the difficulty for cultivators in Divine Land to advance to the Foundation Establishment has been greatly reduced. In fact, many cultivators, after advancing to the Foundation Establishment, only cultivate their Divine Sense and completely entrust the calculation power to the Hexagram Computer. They have no means to improve their calculation power in their own minds, and their Foundation Establishment cultivation is entirely due to the Hexagram Computer.
In the past few days of farming life, I have encountered many farming cultivators in the same situation, but my parents, on the other hand, have a very high level of mental calculation.
The elderly couple weren't exactly skilled in spiritual practice, so it's quite rare that they could actively improve their calculation abilities with the help of Hexagram Computer.
After some questioning, Li Xingkong learned the reason: during the research on spiritual plants, they had to look at a lot of technical data. Although the deduction part could be handed over to the Hexagram Computer, they couldn't understand why the spiritual plants were designed the way they were after the deduction.
To understand these details, the two of them took the initiative to cultivate a superior Foundation Establishment Method and construct a calculation structure in their minds.
