Toast to the bright moon

Traversing the Nine Provinces in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lu Yuan possessed the Dao Fruit of longevity, an eternal lifespan. If he were careful, he could anticipate the Immortal Method.
This was indeed a beautiful thing.
However, he was born during the Age of Dharma Decline, with spiritual energy depleted and the Immortal Method difficult. The great path was elusive.
Even worse, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Provinces was on the verge of collapse, and the four poles were about to fall, marking the end of an era.
If that was the case, why shouldn't a man take up his sword and conquer fifty states across the mountains?
To survive in the Age of Dharma Decline, Lu Yuan cultivated the ancient Way of Control Pneuma, established an Immortal Dynasty, and gathered Qi Luck. He brought order to the Nine Provinces and peace to the four seas.
Gathering strength from across the world, he ascended to immortality step by step.
In ancient times, there were three Human Emperors: Hua Guang, Xia Xi, and Hao Tian.
Who is the Human Emperor now?
It is Emperor Chu Luyuan.

To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Seeing that all the ministers nodded in agreement, Lu Yuan nodded and did not say much about it. Instead, he continued: "At present, Chu State's local prefectures and counties, the central forbidden army, and the navy are all expanding their forces. As of now, the total number of troops in the entire country has reached 382,000."


For these many soldiers, their annual military expenses alone require more than 27 million silver tales.


If there are wars, it can even reach 30 million silver tales.


At the same time, the basic expenses of the local government offices and the central court also require about five million silver tales a year.


And there's the ongoing immigration project, which requires one to two million silver tales a year.


However, with the current fiscal revenue of the court, including the annual tribute of three million silver tales from Nanhai Country, it is only 23 million silver tales a year.
