"The realm of golden elixir is right in front of you."
Bai Gui sensed the innate Taiyi Qi generated in his body and felt happy in his heart, but he quickly calmed down.
"Even if it becomes a golden elixir now, it is just an ordinary golden elixir with limited potential. If you want to cross the realm of jade liquid returning elixir and become a true immortal, there is still a long way to go..."
He thought to himself.
After condensing the golden elixir, you reach the realm of jade liquid returning elixir. This realm has seven levels, namely first return, second return, third return, fourth return, fifth return, and sixth return. Until the last return, the seventh return is completed.
Return elixir to jade liquid.
But on top of the Jade Liquid Returning Pill, there is also the Golden Liquid Returning Pill. Only by achieving the Golden Liquid Returning Pill can it be considered a truly flawless Golden Pill.
It is also truly like a god!
The realms of the leaders of each sect are generally at the realm of returning to the golden elixir several times.
"Seven times the cinnabar returns to its origin; nine times the gold liquid returns to its true nature." - "Wu Zhen Chapter"
If you want to reach the Nine Returns, the foundation of the realm of raising the holy fetus must be solid.
"Xiuzhu is a descendant of Nuwa. The dragon-turtle mystical fetus in my body coincides with Fuxi's divine power. If I wait a few years for the Nuwa's divine power in Xiuzhu's body to gradually awaken, and then practice Taoism with me, it will definitely be difficult for my dragon-turtle mystical fetus."
The benefits of words..."
Bai Gui was only in his thirties in this life, and still had a lot of time, so he thought about it a little and chose to suppress his current state and not rush for a while.
In fact, when he returned to the court from Tubo King City, he had already sensed on a whim that the time for him to break through the realm of golden elixir was coming, but he deliberately slowed down the progress. During this period, even the outer elixir was not available.
How to take it is to lay a solid foundation.
Only with a solid foundation can we make further progress!
But he didn't expect that a blessing from his ancestor would bring him to the point where he was on the verge of condensing the golden elixir and had to consider the matter.
…
Although Bai Gui thought in his heart that it would be better to wait a few more years to condense the golden elixir, in order to be on the safe side, he still asked the heads of various sects in the Laojun Palace.
As for his master Hou Shaowei, he also agreed with this matter.
Cultivating Taoism is not something you do behind closed doors. With brainstorming, you may gain even more.
The problems that everyone encounters when practicing Taoism are different. Even if you have some knowledge, for the sake of your future, it is still better to ask more people.
Discussing Taoism is also a common thing among various sects.
Zhang Tianshi of the Tianshi Dao was from the Fulu lineage and could not answer the question. However, there were many masters from the Outer and Inner Alchemy sects present. After thinking for a while, they gave the answer.
From a sect's point of view, I treasure my broom, and it exists in every sect. However, Bai Gui's status is different. He is the prime minister of the dynasty, and Louguan Taoism has a complete inheritance. It is not necessarily rare for the inheritance of a small family to be rare.
The discussion continued until sunset.
Everyone gained something, and Bai Gui also strengthened his inner thoughts and continued to polish the mysterious embryo. When Bai Xiuzhu and Nuwa awakened their magical power, dragons and tigers interacted, yin and yang reconciled, and a fine golden elixir was condensed.
…
Three days later.
Morning meeting.
Bai Gui took the opportunity to propose using Five Emperors coins and Talisman coins to replace the ordinary copper coins circulating in the market.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's complexion changed, and all the officials spoke in silence.
No one expected that Bai Gui, who had been serving as the second-in-command prime minister in the political affairs hall, would plan such a major event without saying a word.
Samples of Five Emperors Money and Talisman Money are now available!
It can't be a last-minute idea.
"This copper coin is exquisitely made, but it is probably very expensive. I don't know what price Prime Minister Bai intends for the people to exchange for this coin. If it is too high, it will deprive the people of the country. If it is too low, the court will lose. There are more than one or two copper coins in the world, and there are hundreds of millions!"
"One copper coin loses ten cents, and one hundred copper coins equals one coin. Thousands of copper coins accumulate over time. How can the national treasury bear such a loss..."
The Minister of Household Affairs came out of the queue, holding a wat tablet, and questioned.
Bai Gui said nothing.
Li Linfu came out of the queue, first bowed his hands to Li Longji who was sitting on the dragon chair, and then said: "Chen Shilang, Prime Minister Bai hasn't said the cost of this copper coin yet? Why did you question it immediately? Could it be that you suspect that Prime Minister Bai is so mediocre?
In other words...Shilang Chen is not telling the story for official reasons, but has another purpose?"
"you!"
"You are lying! The sun will make it clear, your Majesty will decide what my Vice Minister's heart is..."
Chen Shilang's expression changed slightly.
Bai Guineng proposed this matter in the court, so he must have already prepared a plan and made a record. Although he seemed fair, he did have selfish motives as Li Linfu said, but as an official, he would always mince words.
When he asked this question, he was asking why Bai Gui didn't discuss the matter with Prime Minister Song Jing first. If Bai Gui discussed the matter with Song Jing first, he, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Song Party, must have had some understanding of the matter.
, so that when you get to the court, you will not realize it later.
Therefore, when he spoke, he spoke for Song Jing.
Li Longji ignored the argument between Chen Shilang and Li Linfu. He lowered his eyes to Song Jing, who was at the top of the right column, and asked: "I wonder... what does the Song Dynasty think of this coin?"
He was just trying to help Bai Gui.
Minting new coins, bypassing the Shaofu Supervisor, and letting Zong Shengguan do it is equivalent to Bai Gui concentrating money and power on himself. And concentrating power will inevitably lead to conflicts with Song Jing, the real power prime minister in the court.
match.
Song Jing was in power for too long, and there were too many old officials in the court. If it were not for Bai Gui's apprenticeship, Li Longji would have dismissed Song Jing in the eighth year of Kaiyuan, and would not have waited until the tenth year of Kaiyuan.
Now, although he will not immediately dismiss Song Jing as prime minister, he will secretly reveal his holy will quietly, so that some courtiers who "follow the influence" in the court will start to choose to bet.
It's almost time to wait for the bet, which means it's time for Song Jing to step down as prime minister.
The other party betting is undoubtedly Bai Gui, who is just showing his talents at this time.
"I have no specific knowledge of this thing..."
"So don't dare to lie!"
"It's better to let Prime Minister Bai speak for himself, and then I can speak again after I have a thorough understanding."
Song Jing took a deep look at Bai Gui, paused for a while, and then said.
He had long expected that such a day would come. But he didn't expect it to be so soon.
It was also because he was obsessed with power and position... and held on to it for a long time, which led to him encountering this situation.
He wants to be Xiao He, but Li Longji is not the young emperor Liu Ying, and he will not sit back and let him continue to be in charge.
"Since Master Song said this..."
"It would be disrespectful to deny it."
Bai Gui nodded and explained: "Although the cost of this coin is slightly higher than that of ordinary coins, and although it is not as exaggerated as what Chen Shilang said, it is still not bad. If two thousand coins are issued, the court will suffer a loss."
money!"
"Don't rush to refute, just listen to the truth!"
"Since ancient times, bad money has been banned repeatedly, so issuing new money is a loss-making business for the court..."
"But this new coin can prevent anyone from making private money. First, this coin is Taoist Dharma money. Anyone who dares to use this Dharma money to melt it into a copper furnace will not only lose his moral character, but the magic power in the Dharma money will also be destroyed.
Encourage, when the time comes..."
"In addition, the imperial court will also set up money supervisors in various Taoist temples. Anyone who dares to make coins privately will be found out at a glance."
"From now on, the only selfless money in the world is real money circulated by the imperial court. So exchanging real money for ordinary copper coins in the hands of the people will only cause a temporary loss, but... if real money is used in the world, it will benefit the country in countless ways!"
When all the officials heard this, they began to wonder if what Bai Gui said was true.
This was the first time they had seen this kind of Taoist magic money. As for whether what Bai Gui said was true, they were not sure.
Therefore, after Bai Gui finished speaking, the court hall was silent for a while.
