To recruit Shang Jingzhong, Huang Xiaoshi had two plans, one was to recruit before the year and the other was to recruit after the year.
There is no difference between these two plans in terms of recruiting Shang Jingzhong, but they have a great impact on Huang Xiaoshi's plot, or the arrangement of the plan.
One of the key factors is that it is almost the end of the year, and at the end of the year, Jianghu Baixiaosheng will announce various martial arts rankings.
Recruiting Shang Jingzhong will inevitably have a significant impact on the ranking of Shennong Baicaomen in the Central Plains martial arts world.
This year, Huang Xiaoshi himself also broke level 5.
As I said before, in martial arts fighting, it doesn't matter whether the warrior is level 3 or level 4, as long as the number is large, but it is different for level 5 warriors.
A level 5 warrior is enough to change the entire battle situation.
Therefore, in the sect ranking, the combat effectiveness score bonus of level 5 warriors is very high.
Huang Xiaoshi plus Shang Jingzhong, plus the original power of Shennong Baicao Sect, Huang Xiaoshi felt that Shennong Baicao Sect might be ranked among the top few.
What is this concept?
In other words, the structure of the six major sects that has been stable in the Central Plains martial arts for decades may be broken, and the Shennong Baicao Sect will suddenly be exposed to the public eye.
Although Huang Xiaoshi is already very famous, everyone's view of him is still limited to "rookie status".
If the Shennong Baicao Sect suddenly becomes the seventh major sect or one of the six major sects, then Huang Xiaoshi will definitely break the circle, and it will be impossible to keep a low profile.
If you stand too high, you will be easily "sniped".
Anyone who has played stealth games knows that when you hold a gun, you should shoot in order from high to low. This is called "shooting the first bird".
However, Huang Xiaoshi's thoughts are different now.
Because Huang Xiaoshi has already obtained the [King of Heaven's Token], and he has already shown his cards to Ji Wushuang, who strongly supports his rise to power.
In order to make his actions in the Tianlong Sect go more smoothly, Huang Xiaoshi needs to increase his weight.
The Tianlong Sect has been in the Central Plains for so many years, and they finally know what Jianghu Baixiaosheng is. To enter the list of Jianghu Baixiaosheng is to achieve the reputation of the Tianlong Sect.
Ji Wushuang confidently went to deal with Mohu Luojia and Asura. This matter was indeed more convenient for Ji Wushuang than Huang Xiaoshi.
However, Huang Xiaoshi not only wants to unify the Dragon King Sect, he also wants to unify the entire Tianlong Sect. At this time, he needs the support of Gandharva, Kinnara and Garuda. It is best to be able to convince people with reason.
of.
However, the personalities of these three people are a little awkward. They may not be convinced by just gaining reputation, and their status as kings may not be easy to use.
Huang Xiaoshi was afraid that he couldn't explain it to them in just two or three sentences. What he was most worried about was that as soon as he showed the [King of Heaven's Token], these three people would ask him where he got the token.
If Huang Xiaoshi explained to them how the token came from, the three of them would definitely force themselves to save Li Cangtian.
If I really rescued Li Cangtian, who would count as him or me, Huang Xiaoshi?
Therefore, these three people are very annoying, and Huang Xiaoshi must find a way to control them.
In fact, if he wanted to rescue the King of Heaven, Huang Xiaoshi had a good way to save his life without losing any blood.
Huang Xiaoshi has always deliberately maintained a state of invisibility when doing things. He often brushes off his clothes and hides his identity and reputation.
Now, Huang Xiaoshi is ready to make a big splash. Many things that were difficult to say or do before are now easier to do.
Huang Xiaoshi is ready to reveal his identity as the heir apparent to win over Jiang Tianxiong.
…
Jiang Tianxiong is a person with an extremely complicated identity and is about to catch up with Huang Xiaoshi.
Why didn't Jiang Tianxiong choose to be the "Heluo Hero" instead of doing a thankless job like this in Tianyi City? Why didn't he quit his job as the instructor of the Forbidden Army and insist on becoming King Cheng's dog?
Living a wealthy life is uncomfortable, and I have to participate in the beheading rebellion.
For a long time, Huang Xiaoshi couldn't figure out what he was planning.
After entering the thinking of this era, Huang Xiaoshi immediately understood Jiang Tianxiong's thoughts.
When will the fighting and killing in the Jianghu finally come to an end?
In this era, being rich may not necessarily mean you are a rich man, but you may also be a fat pig.
Having money and people is a thorn in the side of the imperial court. If you don't rebel, the imperial court will force you to rebel.
The only things that are eternal and unchangeable are the privileges granted by the imperial court.
Following the emperor, Jiang Tianxiong worked hard to become a commander of the Imperial Army. Seeing that he looked very old, it was a good thing that he was not allowed to retire and return to his hometown.
Follow King Cheng, and once you succeed, you will be following the dragon.
Jiang Tianxiong had never thought about such a grand wish as being a king. He just wanted to have a small, hereditary and non-replaceable title.
It can be said that Jiang Tianxiong was really full and exhausted before he went to help King Cheng rebel.
As a man who stands at the pinnacle of his life, Jiang Tianxiong lacks nothing and has everything. The only thing he cannot worry about is his descendants, the Jiang family.
Well, now comes the problem.
Is it that King Cheng's rebellion has a higher chance of success, or that Huang Xiaoshi has a higher chance of sitting on the throne after waiting for three to five years before the emperor burps?
Jiang Tianxiong is making a living in the imperial court. Doesn't he know why Xichang is so crazy recently?
Xichang's madness represents the emperor's despair.
Jiang Tianxiong already knew that Chen Chongying had come to see Huang Xiaoshi. The owner of Dongchang Factory and the eunuch Chen Chongying of Bingbi were all on Huang Xiaoshi's side.
Not to mention King Cheng being afraid of Huang Xiaoshi, Jiang Tianxiong was even more afraid.
It's okay to offend Huang Xiaoshi, but if you offend Chen Chongying, your skin will still peel off even if you don't die.
Jiang Tianxiong thought about it and realized that everyone had been in Luoyang these years. Fortunately, he had not had any bad things happen to Huang Xiaoshi. Yu Er and Huang Xiaoshi could still talk to each other for a few words, and then he felt relieved.
If Huang Xiaoshi stood in front of Jiang Tianxiong and told him straightforwardly, I don't need you to risk your life to rebel, I just need you to do something for me. When I ascend the throne, what King Cheng promised you, I
All can be given to you.
Do you think Jiang Tianxiong will kneel down?
Of course, if Huang Xiaoshi dared to come forward to win over Jiang Tianxiong, it would mean the breakdown of his alliance with King Cheng.
If it's broken, it's broken. Anyway, the boat of friendship can capsize at any time.
King Cheng really doesn't have many means to counterattack himself.
When Jiang Tianxiong surrenders, it won't matter if he lets Li Cangtian go. Of course, Huang Xiaoshi can also order him not to let him go.
Controlling Jiang Tianxiong is equivalent to holding Li Cangtian in his hands. Why don't the three Gandharvas obey me obediently?
Huang Xiaoshi had laid the groundwork by jumping left and right a long time ago, and now he is finally putting it to use.
There is a bird in Nanfu that does not move for three years, neither flies nor sings.
Although it does not fly, it will soar to the sky; although it does not make a sound, its sound will be astonishing.
…
In your living room, several people had received the medicine and were asking Huang Xiaoshi how to use it in detail. Huang Xiaoshi patiently answered them one by one.
Fang Yunhua took his own medicine and smelled it. He was almost knocked over by the smoke. He couldn't help complaining to Huang Xiaoshi: "What did you add to it? Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill is not so smelly."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Yunhua knew that he had said the wrong thing. In desperation, he didn't know how to take it back, and he was immediately stuck.
Huang Xiaoshi glanced at Fang Yunhua with a look that looked like an idiot, and replied with a hint of mockery: "It's true that a layman speaks in layman's terms. These medicines are different. The smell must be different."
When Fang Yunhua heard this, he didn't care that he was being ridiculed and nodded in agreement. This was how he put the matter to rest.
Huang Xiaoshi then thought about it, this might be a good opportunity, and it would be announced sooner or later, so why not take advantage of it now.
…
Because Huang Xiaoshi did an excellent job of keeping secrets, the discontinuation of Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill and how many pills are left are completely top secret.
Information is a resource.
If you have information gaps, you will have huge resources.
Huang Xiaoshi decided to release limited information today.
"Everyone doesn't know that the [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill] is no longer available." Huang Xiaoshi opened his mouth and said to everyone.
Before everyone could recover from the shock, Huang Xiaoshi immediately said again:
"Not only is it gone, but in fact, in the past five or six years, our Shen Nong Baicao Sect has spent all the efforts of our sect and exhausted all the corners of the country without refining a single pill."
Finally, Huang Xiaoshi revealed the third blockbuster news:
"But as time went by, we finally found several extremely rare medicinal materials in the deserts of the Western Regions and the Snow Mountains of Tubo.
I’ll wait and see when the new year starts, and I’m going to restart the furnace and refine another furnace of [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill].”
…
There are only three people in the world who know the formula of [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill].
One is Huang Xiaoshi.
The second is Doctor Shen.
The third is Shen Xiangyun.
Even Gong Guangjie actually doesn't know what the formula of [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill] is, because it was completely created by Huang Xiaoshi himself.
Now, the original formula of [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill] has been invalidated, and only two people know the new formula.
Why did Huang Xiaoshi mention the deserts of the Western Regions and the Snow Mountains of Tubo when he opened his mouth? It was because the people in the Central Plains believed that these two places really contained magical medicinal materials.
Even in later generations, those decisions that go against the ancestors also come from these places.
…
Huang Xiaoshi is preparing for a career transformation, and now he will do things in the opposite way to before.
The high-profile public refining of the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill and the full sense of ceremony can not only raise the world's expectations for the [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill], but also enhance the internal pride of the Shennong Baicao Sect.
In addition to interests, honor is also an indispensable link.
An employee who does dirty work all day long and takes dirty money will have no psychological burden when backstabbing the group.
But if the group makes him feel very proud, this sense of honor will become a guardrail. It does not mean that it cannot be broken through, but it can block most of the impacts.
As for how to enhance the sense of ritual, Huang Xiaoshi has too many ways.
First of all, we must emphasize the scarcity and coolness of raw materials.
Didn't Mr. Zhou once write an article recalling that when treating his father, the doctor prescribed some strange medicines, such as "sugar cane that has been frosted for three years", "a pair of original crickets" and "hammered drum skin"?
.
Therefore, because quack doctors harmed people, Mr. Zhou only made great efforts to study medicine when he was older.
Halfway through studying medicine, Mr. Zhou realized that "study medicine cannot save the people of the country", so he resolutely gave up medicine and followed literature.
In fact, the medicinal materials used in the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill are not rare, or in other words, they are not rare enough to be trumpeted as myths.
However, people just take this medicine, and everyone generally believes that the rarer the medicinal material, the better the effect of the medicine.
Later, some quack doctors took advantage of people's psychology and gave you some introductions to weird medicines to torment the patients' families.
However, Huang Xiaoshi is not that kind of quack or "miraculous doctor". He really has a miracle cure.
With the real materials at hand, the materials for refining the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill can be blown as hard as possible. The more magical the better.
After all, Huang Xiaoshi had read dozens of online fairy tales and all kinds of fairy-level medicinal materials, so he was very familiar with them.
What kind of iceberg snow lotus, which does not melt when condensed, thousand-year-old ginseng king, translucent Ganoderma lucidum, sacred monk relics, dipterocarp, and king whale blubber.
Which one is not strange enough, which one is not strange enough, which one is not high-end enough and classy enough.
Of course, don't talk nonsense about this first. If you brag too much and you really can't find it, you won't be slapping yourself in the face.
Therefore, I will not talk about Huang Xiaoshi for now and skip this paragraph.
In addition to good medicinal materials (bragging), if you want to gain value, you have to tell stories and sell feelings.
When it comes to stories, the stand-up comic master Huang Xiaoshi comes right out of his mouth.
"[The Pill of Life and Creation], as the name suggests, can give birth to a person's vitality and change his destiny.
Although this elixir appears in the mortal world, it is actually an elixir, and each one can only be obtained by those who have a great chance.
A hundred years ago, Xiao Xiami and [Poison Hand Medicine King] Cheng Lingsu worked together to create a furnace. When the furnace was opened and the elixir came out, it could be said that the sky changed drastically and the situation was changing.
Six pills [Sheng Sheng Zai Hua Dan], split half of the shrimp and Cheng Lingsu each.
Xiao Xiami took three pills of [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill], one pill was exchanged for [Yitian Sword], one pill was exchanged for [Dragon Slaying Sword], and the last pill was left to his little follower, Lin Pingzhi."
What Huang Xiaoshi talked about is all the old history of martial arts. Everyone knows that the starting point of Xiao Xiami's rise in the world was to obtain the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sword, but how he obtained these two artifacts is unknown to everyone.
Huang Xiaoshi started from the martial arts war caused by the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Sword, and talked about spit flying everywhere.
"Finally, the formula for the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill was obtained by Tianshan Tonglao.
When the Tianshan Child Elder was practicing magic skills, she was frightened and distracted by Li Qiushui. She became ill and had to suck people's blood every day to survive.
After the Tianshan Child Mother got the formula of Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill, she was so pleasantly surprised that she ordered her subordinate Shen Nongmen to refine it for her.
However, due to destiny, the Shennong Sect failed in refining the elixir, and the sect leader committed suicide out of fear of sin.
The Tianshan boy's power was greatly damaged due to the backlash of his magic power, and he and Li Qiushui both died in the decisive battle.
After the Shennongmen got rid of the control of Lingjiu Palace, they also tried to refine the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill several times, but they all failed. Each time, they suffered heavy losses and their vitality was severely damaged.
Later, all the successive masters of Shennong Sect were very taboo about the Life and Creation Pill. This elixir was not a person destined by fate and could not be refined.
Later, Shennong and Baicao brothers split up, and the formula of Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill was also split into two.
It was also by chance that I got the complete formula of the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill, and after tinkering around for a while, I actually made it."
Everyone was amazed when they heard Huang Xiaoshi's story.
Huang Xiaoshi buried a foreshadowing in his words, only those who are destined to refine the [Life and Fortune Pill].
Xiao Xiami is a person of destiny, and he is also a person of destiny.
Everyone, please don’t snatch the [Temple Key] from me. How about I help you?
"However, I didn't understand anything at that time." Huang Xiaoshi shook his head and sighed, "I thought I was very capable, but in fact I was already undermining the secret of heaven.
I only gradually understood this principle after studying the Book of Changes."
Huang Xiaoshi's words are even more revealing.
In the eyes of others, Huang Xiaoshi has had smooth sailing these past few years, so how could he have compromised his destiny?
This is the second foreshadowing laid by Huang Xiaoshi. I, a dignified prince, will soon be reduced to the leader of a demon sect. Isn’t this miserable enough!
In order to refine [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill], I have sacrificed so much, shouldn't you pity me?
What Huang Xiaoshi didn't know was that his nonsense about the "Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill" was eventually recorded in "Wulin Chronicles" and became an important research material for future generations.
