Rebellions across the former Six States are swiftly crushed as the people remain loyal to Qin. Months later, a sweeping national policy transforms the land, with confiscated noble lands being redistributed among the common people. The ringleaders of traitorous plots face severe punishment, while loyal subjects are rewarded. A marriage alliance with the Tu'an State is also arranged.

With a mere flick of his hand, the Tian Xuan Mirror materialized.

"Ministers of the court, Governors of Jiuzhou, and the leaders of the Thirty-Six Prefectures," Zhao Feng declared.

"You are granted the first layer of the [Martial Arts Profound Skills]."

"One bottle of the [Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Pill] is yours."

"Permission to access the [Cultivation Space] is hereby granted."

"And one thousand Contribution Points shall be awarded."

His mental commands flowed.

The court officials.

The governors of the various provinces and prefectures.

All received their allocations as Zhao Feng spoke.

Upon hearing his words, the assembled ministers displayed expressions of elation.

They had already sensed the cultivation techniques and elixirs bestowed by Zhao Feng within their respective Tian Xuan Mirrors.

"We express our deepest gratitude to Your Majesty, and to the Crown Prince, for your boundless generosity!"

The ministers bowed with sincere excitement.

"Esteemed officials," Zhao Feng addressed them.

"Let me reiterate: the world is vast, and the heavens are boundless."

"Do not confine your aspirations to mere earthly gains or the pursuit of power alone."

"The path ahead for Qin, and for each of you, is long indeed."

"While cultivation techniques are now accessible to all, the journey of cultivation itself hinges upon innate talent and persistent effort. I trust that in time, all of you will be able to keep pace with Qin's ascendancy."

Cultivation.

It was not a path easily traversed by everyone.

If it were, countless true powerhouses would populate the world.

Talent imposed limitations.

Resources were also scarce.

And then there were the unseen celestial constraints.

"We humbly accept the Crown Prince's teachings." The ministers responded in unison.

"Excellent."

"Now that the land division strategy is finalized, it is time to disseminate the Tian Xuan Mirror to the populace."

"Do any of you have suggestions regarding this matter?" Zhao Feng inquired of his ministers.

"Your Highness," began Han Fei.

"Following your decree, every official of Qin, down to the humble Village Chief, will be provisioned with a Tian Xuan Mirror."

"For broader distribution, the Crown Prince need only establish designated points for the Tian Xuan Mirror's allocation – be it at the village, county, prefectural, or state level. Verification will be based on household registration. Those without registered ties will be unable to claim a mirror, and any transgressors will face governmental investigation."

"This method," Han Fei continued respectfully, "will effectively prevent the Tian Xuan Mirror from falling into the hands of remnants from fallen states or foreign spies."

"Hmm." Zhao Feng gave a slight nod.

In truth,

the Tian Xuan Mirror was a powerful artifact. Any subsidiary mirror's authority required Zhao Feng's explicit permission. Should foreign spies manage to acquire one, Zhao Feng could pinpoint their exact location at will.

Ultimately,

even if they obtained a mirror, it would serve only to bring about their own downfall.

"Therefore," Zhao Feng concluded,

"we shall proceed with full implementation."

"Once every citizen of Qin possesses a Tian Xuan Mirror, the formal exchange between Contribution Points and Qin currency will be initiated." Zhao Feng announced his decision.

"This minister accepts the decree." Han Fei promptly acknowledged the command.

At this precise moment!

Xiao He stepped forward.

"A report has reached Your Majesty and the Crown Prince," he announced.

"An official from Xuzhou has reported that a mining team, while excavating iron ore, stumbled upon an unusual vein. The stones extracted from this vein surprisingly emit a faint luminescence."

"These are the stones unearthed by the Xuzhou mining official, presented for your examination."

Xiao He held up a box and opened it.

Within the box lay several stones, each radiating a soft, white glow.

Witnessing this,

Zhao Feng's eyes lit up with recognition, and a broad smile spread across his face. "Hahaha."

"Indeed, Heaven favors Qin!"

"Spirit Stones! I should have foreseen this possibility."

"Given the abundant spiritual energy within the Great Qin Divine Land, it is only natural that Spirit Stone mines would be present."

Seeing Zhao Feng's evident excitement, Ying Zheng inquired with a gentle smile, "Feng'er, are these particular stones some form of treasure?"

Zhao Feng grinned. With a raised hand, the box levitated from Xiao He's grasp, settling effortlessly into Zhao Feng's own hand.

The assembled court ministers regarded him with expressions of deep respect.

While they had long acknowledged their Crown Prince as an immortal sage, each display of his profound abilities left them in awe.

Such transcendental techniques.

Truly beyond compare.

"These are Spirit Stones," Zhao Feng explained, his smile unwavering.

"And what purpose do they serve?" Ying Zheng pressed for details.

"Father, now that you have reached the Innate Realm, you are naturally sensitive to the spiritual energy of nature, are you not?" Zhao Feng asked, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"Naturally," Ying Zheng affirmed with a nod.

Indeed, upon attaining the Innate Realm in martial pursuits, one gains the ability to absorb the world's spiritual energy to bolster one's cultivation.

It was certainly possible to perceive the presence of such energy.

"Spirit Stones are nurtured from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, containing pure spiritual energy. Cultivating with Spirit Stones yields twice the result with half the effort."

"The most crucial point."

"With these Spirit Stones, the Tian Xuan Mirror's cultivation space will no longer need to worry about energy depletion in the future. As long as there are enough Spirit Stones, the people of Qin can rely on the cultivation space for their Cultivation." Zhao Feng stated with a smile.

This time around.

Although many were granted permission to activate a cultivation space, the contribution points consumed during cultivation were covered by Zhao Feng's personal Spirit Stones for energy provision, with each use diminishing his reserves.

Zhao Feng's Spirit Stone reserves wouldn't last much longer.

Even though martial arts had been widely promoted within the army, the cultivation space had not.

Only the ministers of the court, the governors of the Nine Provinces, and the governors of the Thirty-Six Prefectures were granted this cultivation space privilege today.

This was a reward for their loyalty and service to the state of Qin!

"Do these Spirit Stones truly possess such miraculous effects?" Ying Zheng looked visibly thrilled.

Ever since he embarked on the path of Cultivation, Zhao Feng had provided pills to aid his progress, but not Spirit Stones, as he had only recently entered the Innate Realm.

"Has the extent of this vein been fully explored?" Zhao Feng immediately inquired of Xiao He.

"To Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

"Within this vein, there is indeed an abundance of such stones; no, they are Spirit Stones," Xiao He replied promptly.
