"Fellow Taoist Guangyuan, I know that Guangyuan Island has many misunderstandings about the imperial court, but the fight against the Demonic Cultivator of Dayuan is the consensus of all the monks in Daqian."
Ji Mingchang raised his hand to Guang Yuanzi and said, "After all, if the nest is overturned, how can the eggs be intact?"
These words made Guang Yuanzi's expression move slightly.
Seeing that Guang Yuanzi's attitude was no longer so tough, Ji Mingchang continued to persuade: "The imperial court is raising military expenditures this time to expand the Shenben Army to resist Dayuan's invasion.
Taoist friends have also seen the results of Dayuan's invasion of Lizhou. It is difficult to describe in one sentence the loss of lives.
If we have an army that can station at the border and resist the monks of Dayuan, why would we let nearly half of the territory of Lizhou fall into the hands of Dayuan?"
Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi said indifferently: "I am just a casual cultivator, and the territory I occupy is no more than this small fairy island at my feet. If the Great Abyss can't break through the Great Gan, what does it have to do with me?"
Guang Yuanzi's meaning is very straightforward.
Even if Da Qian was defeated, he would just leave.
"Guangyuan Fellow Daoist, if Da Qian cannot stop the Great Abyss, where can fellow Daoists escape to? The endless sea? Or a small country outside of Da Qian and the Great Abyss?"
Ji Mingchang looked at him, "Fellow Taoist, please don't forget that the Lord of the Holy Land is about to pass away. How long can he protect the endless sea?
No matter how strong the body is, if the soul is weak, even if it holds the power to destroy the world, it will eventually die due to the exhaustion of the life span of the soul.
But the amazing thing is that although these powers all originate from the power of the stars, after evolution, the newly born spiritual energy, sun essence, and moon essence all have different functions and attributes.
"The Ji family's apparent strength is not strong, but the Ji family's hidden power is unfathomable!"
On the deck of the flying boat.
Seeing Guang Yuanzi's silence, Ji Mingchang took advantage of the situation and said: "The imperial court collects military expenses mainly for the sect power of Daqian, and will never involve casual cultivators like fellow Taoists."
The Yaoyuan Water Realm is only one of the eight major realms of Lanzhou, namely the Three Mountains and Five Realms.
Ji Mingchang smiled and said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist Guangyuan, we won't let you bear such a huge pressure alone."
Su Ming, who also practiced the body-training technique, knew very well that what Gongyang Xun said was absolutely correct.
"Why is this?"
Thinking of this, Su Ming couldn't help but said: "The high-level monks from other sects are constantly incarnation, but the Ji family can freeze these high-level monks in the state of incarnation. As time goes by, the Ji family's heritage will only become more and more... The stronger they are, no wonder they want to collect a fairy tax."
Su Ming frowned, very puzzled.
Unless they are the kind of casual cultivators who have no fixed abode, as long as they are cultivating stably in a certain place, they cannot escape the fate of being levied an immortal tax.
"Danzhou, Danzhou where the headquarters of the Dan League is located?"
"Yes, it's just that the Dan Alliance is not a member of the Blood Alliance."
"You are an honest person,"
Indeed, compared to other sects in Daqian, Lingbaoshan faced the forefront of Dayuan's military front. They agreed to the imperial court to collect military expenses and expand the Shenben Army to resist Dayuan, but they were forced to do so.
It is impossible to say that the Daqian court would not be tempted by such a naturally powerful labor force and productivity.
Gongyang Xun smiled and said: "So, this is the significance of your trip to Liangzhou with me. As the dean of Yaoyuan Taoist Academy, you need to see a wider world.
Even in the end, they not only had to collect immortal taxes, but also had to perform corvee like mortals.
But as the dean of the Yaoyuan Taoist Academy and the actual guardian of the Xianxia Sect in the Yaoyuan Water Realm, you must understand the situation in this world, especially in Daqian!"
Seeing that Su Ming was silent, Gongyang Xun smiled and said: "You will take your time to see the situation in Daqian during this trip to Liangzhou, and I will talk to you about my thoughts on practicing the Star Condensing Aperture Sutra."
Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi was shocked and blurted out, "I wonder which sect it is?"
"The stinky chess basket cannot be played anymore."
Gongyang Xun explained, "Look again."
But what is Reiki?
As for the "Star Condensation Aperture Sutra" mentioned in the "Star Condensation Aperture Sutra", attracting the power of stars into the body and condensing miniature stars in the acupoints, what does the power of stars refer to?
Questions lingered in Su Ming's mind, leaving him puzzled.
He, who has earth-attribute spiritual roots, knows very well about this yellow aura. It is exactly the earth-attribute spiritual energy!
After this spiritual energy enters the human body, it will be refined and absorbed by the spiritual roots, transformed into true energy, and finally stored in the Dantian.
Now, in order to fight against the seven major sects, the Daqian court naturally does not collect taxes from him.
"Lingbao Mountain!"
Although a single body refining has various disadvantages, it can benefit all mortals, and this advantage alone can already cover up all its disadvantages.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming immediately sat upright.
All the time, the power of the stars condensed in Su Ming's acupoints was condensed on its own by relying on the powerful physical body strengthened by the essence of the Nascent Soul and the operation of the "Star Condensing Aperture Sutra".
I remember that fellow Taoist Guangyuan returned from the Endless Sea. You should know better than me what the conditions for practicing in the Endless Sea are.
Hear the words.
Mu Qingyan looked slightly startled, and then said: "Don't worry, sir, I will take good care of Guangyuan Island for you."
Gradually, Su Ming's understanding of the power of the stars deepened.
Actually, from a national perspective.
Gongyang Xun threw the black piece in his hand into the chess box and shook his head helplessly.
"The Ji family has a secret technique called Xuanbing Coffin Sealing Technique. This secret technique can freeze the monks who are about to sit down to delay their sitting down. At critical moments, the Ji family can freeze these monks. The old monster awakens.
Collecting immortal taxes and driving monks to perform corvee service can quickly increase Daqian's national power.
When the Daqian court settles the major sects in the future, it will be the time to raise the butcher's knife to all the loose cultivators in the world.
Standing high in the sky above Guangyuan Island, Guang Yuanzi pondered for a moment, then turned into a ray of light and flew back to the main hall of Lingxiao Palace.
Although the frozen monks cannot move and can only be sealed in special coffins, and these people will quickly die after being awakened, this does not prevent the Ji family from being able to erupt in a frightening situation in a short period of time. strength.
The source of spiritual energy comes from the stars.
"Please give me some advice, Master."
I have to say that Ji Mingchang is very good at persuading people.
Guang Yuanzi was in a trance for a while, but he was relieved in an instant.
"In addition to the seven major sects you mentioned, Daqian also has two forces that can compete with the seven major sects, namely the Ji Family of Liangzhou and the Blood Alliance of Danzhou.
Under observation with his spiritual consciousness, he saw a yellow light cluster condensing in the palm of Gongyang Xun's palm.
Su Ming vaguely caught something from Gongyang Xun's words, and asked tentatively: "Does the courtyard master mean that the Ji family is very strong?"
"This is the power of the stars in the Five Directions Realm,"
This is also a force that can rival the seven major sects of Da Gan."
Let alone Daqian, not even the Twin Saints Sect, which covers the sky with one hand in the Great Abyss, can collect immortal taxes from the monks in the Great Abyss.
"Shall I go to Liangzhou?"
But at the same time, the Ji family's implementation of physical exercises has placed unprecedented pressure on resources.
After practicing to this day, whether it is the initial true energy in the Dantian, or the later true energy and mana, they are all obtained by refining spiritual energy.
For example, spiritual energy can help monks embark on the golden elixir path, while moonlight is an indispensable force for the cultivation of monsters."
On the opposite side, Gongyang Xun raised his hand.
Even Su Ming may not be able to figure out how many immortal cultivating families there are in the Yaoyuan Water Realm.
Inside the cabin of the spaceship.
no way.
Compared with the situation in Daqian, solving the confusion in practicing the "Star Condensing Aperture Sutra" is undoubtedly the most important purpose of Su Ming's trip.
Gongyang Xun looked sad and said, "Although our Xianxia sect has always been known as the number one sect in Daqian, who can say for sure whether it is the number one force?"
Hearing this, Su Ming thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Gongyang Xun paused, "Now, do you know what the power of the stars in the "Star Condensation Aperture Sutra" refers to?"
Seeing the puzzled expression on Su Ming's face, Gongyang Xun continued to explain: "The Ji family has been promoting physical cultivation in Liangzhou for the past hundred years."
Guang Yuanzi slowly uttered two words, and Mu Qingyan immediately reacted and nodded: "I understand!"
Now Gongyang Xun explains his experience in refining the power of the stars. For him, it is undoubtedly the manna that comes after a long drought.
Su Ming was startled when he heard this question!
yes!
Hearing this, Su Ming's expression became more concentrated than ever before.
After all, compared with ordinary people, monks with powerful hands are much more efficient than ordinary people, whether they are opening roads through mountains or wading through rivers to build bridges.
For example, in the "Star Condensation Aperture Sutra", if Su Ming had not practiced the "Raging Sea Giant Whale Technique" before and reached the third level, and then his physical body underwent foundation building and the strengthening of Nascent Soul Essence, he would not be able to reach it at all. The threshold for practicing the "Star Condensing Aperture Sutra".
"I know that there are seven Daqian sects, namely Lingbaoshan, Luanyin sect, Tianjianshan, Yufu sect, Wuji Palace, Xuantian Pavilion and our Xianxia sect."
Not to mention the small sects and immortal cultivating families that are attached to the seven major sects.
As for those small countries that are outside the Great Qian and the Great Abyss, they will be turned into ashes in an instant as soon as the soldiers of the Great Abyss arrive."
Even if the leader of the Holy Soul Sect possesses the strength of the God Transformation Stage, it will be difficult to suppress the resistance of countless monks in Dayuan.
Nowadays, although the Daqian court secretly implements the immortal tax system, what is clearly written on the golden documents is just to raise military funds from the various sects of Daqian to fight against the invasion of the Great Abyss.
When Gongyang Xun said this, he paused and said, "You should know how many sects there are in Daqian, right?"
A flying boat was flying through the clouds at high speed, and its direction was exactly Liangzhou.
"Now, I will tell you some tips on refining the power of the stars in the five directions. Please listen carefully."
If this step could be achieved, let alone Dayuan's invasion of Daqian, even if Daqian counterattacked Dayuan, Guang Yuanzi would not be surprised at all.
Whether it is Daqian or Dayuan.
Guang Yuanzi simply scoffed at this statement.
As for the small sects and immortal cultivating families outside Lanzhou, how could Su Ming know about them?
Gongyang Xun continued to explain, "The Blood Alliance is an interest alliance formed by eighteen sects, and they jointly occupy the territory of Danzhou.
"The power of stars comes from the stars themselves.
Time passed little by little during Gongyang Xun's sermon.
Even Guang Yuanzi had to admit that in the face of the aggressive Dayuan, only by uniting as one could they block Dayuan's advance.
There is actually this magical secret technique in this world, which can freeze a person who is about to die and wake him up again at a critical moment.
Besides, the Endless Sea is adjacent to the forces of monsters, so the cultivation environment is much worse than inland.
Seeing this familiar yellow aura, Su Ming suddenly became alert.
As for taking the initiative to refine the power of the stars in the Five Directions Realm, Su Ming has never been able to figure out the trick.
"Um?"
But compared with the golden elixir avenue, the body training method has a huge disadvantage, and that is longevity!
After all, this Xianxia Sect will eventually be handed over to Wen Ming and you."
As for the public collection of immortal taxes, the Daqian court did not dare!
Seeing that Guang Yuanzi remained silent, Ji Mingchang threw out his last trump card and said: "Fellow Guangyuan, you don't have to worry about offending the major sects by standing with us.
Gongyang Xun's words were very clear, and he made no secret of his intention to train Su Ming to succeed the Taoist Academy's leader.
After so many years of accumulation, how strong do you think the hidden strength of the Ji family is?"
Seeing this, Su Ming on the other side showed a look of disdain on his face, and immediately put the white chess piece back into the chess box.
The Ji family's practice of physical training means that ordinary people can also embark on the path of spiritual practice.
Whether it is the "Raging Sea Giant Whale Technique" he once practiced or the "Star Condensing Aperture Sutra" he practices now, they can be practiced without spiritual roots.
"If you are just a true disciple of the Xianxia Sect, you can safely practice under the protection of the sect without knowing the situation in the world.
"this"
But it is too difficult to achieve this step!
Gongyang Xun shook his head and said: "The Ji family collects the immortal tax not just because of this, but because once they collect the immortal tax, they can quickly grow in strength."
Gongyang Xun nodded and said, "Unlike having spiritual roots to refine spiritual energy and embark on the path of cultivation, the biggest advantage of the physical cultivation method compared to the golden elixir path is that it does not require spiritual roots!"
Aura is just a kind of power derived from the power of stars. Similar to aura, there are also powers such as Sun Essence and Moonlight, which are all derived from the power of stars.
"Danmeng!"
Guang Yuanzi shook his head: "As long as I am here, there is no need to worry about the safety of Guangyuan Island. Besides, this island is under the care of your master, and ordinary people dare not come here to run wild.
Hearing this, Su Ming suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Su Ming was very sure that this yellow ball of light was not spiritual energy.
Gradually, Su Ming also gained some insights and understanding on how to refine the power of the stars.
Gongyang Xun nodded: "In your opinion, what is spiritual energy? What is the power of the stars mentioned in the "Star Condensation Aperture Sutra"?"
"Um,"
Inside the cabin.
In addition, body refining monks also have a huge drawback, that is, the consumption of resources is terrible.
I plan to take you to Liangzhou with me."
"I'm going to Liangzhou."
"Su Ming, please take a look."
As he spoke, the yellow light ball in Gongyang Xun's palm slowly turned into a ball of yellow aura.
In front of the two of them, there was a chessboard.
"In this Daqian alone, there are nine forces including Lingbao Mountain, Luanyin Sect, Tianjian Mountain, Yufu Sect, Wuji Palace, Xuantian Pavilion, Xianxia Sect, Xuexue Alliance and Ji Family."
There are far more mortals than monks.
Monks hold great power and will inevitably resist when faced with exploitation.
Mu Qingyan's pretty face showed a look of confusion.
"Su Ming, do you know why I want to take you to Liangzhou?"
Gong Yangxun said with deep eyes, "On the surface of the Ji family, there is only one great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage who has first glimpsed the laws, but no one knows how strong the hidden power of the Ji family is!"
The only requirement for practicing the physical training method is that the physical strength must reach the standard.
"Promote the method of physical cultivation?"
Su Ming shook his head, he really didn't know.
A disciple of Xianxia Sect in uniform uniform stood on both sides of the deck with a dignified aura.
Su Ming said respectfully.
It’s actually Lingbao Mountain.
In fact, some sects have already agreed to the imperial court collecting military expenses."
High in the sky of Xianxia Peak.
Thinking of this, Guang Yuanzi nodded: "Okay, I am willing to go to Liangzhou, but I cannot guarantee that I will be on your side."
Seeing Guang Yuanzi coming back, Mu Qingyan immediately saluted him and said, "Young Master."
After the two reached a verbal agreement, Guang Yuanzi personally sent Ji Mingchang out of Guangyuan Island.
"My disciple is stupid and still doesn't quite understand."
Hear this.
Hearing this, Gongyang Xun nodded first, then shook his head and said: "These are just the seven largest sects in Daqian. How much do you know about the small sects and immortal cultivating families that are dependent on these seven sects?"
Mu Qingyan was still ordering the maid to clean up the banquet between him and Wang Xuanjian.
Inside the main hall.
Because of this, in the past hundred years, the Ji family has repeatedly tried to implement the immortal tax system in Daqian and collect the immortal tax from the heads of the Daqian sect.
A white-haired old man and a young monk sat cross-legged opposite each other.
Gongyang Xun suddenly stroked his beard and laughed, "Actually, I don't know what the power of the stars actually is, but what is certain is that it is the source of spiritual energy."
A smaller ball of yellow light condensed in Su Ming's hand.
"Success!"
Su Ming's face was filled with joy.
"Yes, the realm of the soul is profound enough. As expected, no matter what you practice, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"
Gongyang Xun looked at the yellow light ball in Su Ming's hand and sighed.
