Chapter 219: Cultivation with the help of the national fortune
The sun is setting in the west, approaching evening.
This large army stopped early and set up camp.
Otherwise, it would be too late to set up camp after dark. The soldiers would be exhausted physically and mentally after marching for days. If they still set up camp in the dark, it would definitely cause a lot of complaints.
Therefore, any general with some experience knows how to set up camp in advance. Kong Xuan has led the army for many years and is familiar with the art of war. Of course, he will not make such low-level mistakes.
However, he doesn't need to worry about these things at all, because the generals under his command will take care of these things for him.
At this time, Kong Xuan was sitting high in the commander's tent of the Chinese army. After hearing his generals report on the trivial matters encountered during the march, he waved his hand, indicating that they could handle these trivial matters on their own.
In fact, if he hadn't used the luck of the Great Shang Dynasty in his early years to cultivate and create karma, he would not bother to pay attention to these things.
However, now that the Great Shang Dynasty is in danger, he has to take action personally, not only to repay this cause and effect, but also because he is arrogant and feels that he may not be able to turn the tide on his own and give people a chance to help him.
Dashang will continue the national destiny.
While he was deep in thought, soldiers outside the tent came to report.
"Marshal, a Taoist named Qi Baimei came from outside the camp and claimed that he wanted to see the marshal."
"Qi Baimei?"
Kong Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
He knew that this person had a great reputation among big businessmen in the past few years.
Even when he went to Sanshanguan to take over the position of Commander-in-Chief, he met this man at the reception banquet hosted by his former Commander-in-Chief Deng Jiugong.
However, at that time, I saw that he was just a junior in the Void Refining Realm. In addition, he had little magical power, and it was obvious that he had cultivated it with the power of elixirs, so Kong Xuan did not pay too much attention to this person at that time.
Because they didn't have many interactions with each other, Kong Xuan didn't know that Qi Yuan was a disciple of Jie Jiao. At that time, he saw him appearing in Deng Jiugong's house, so he thought Qi Yuan was just an ordinary Qi practitioner, just like his subordinates.
Same as Gao Jineng and others.
Kong Xuan, with his pride, would certainly not take this kind of little Qi practitioner seriously.
But, why did this person come to see me now?
Could it be that he came to seek refuge with him?
That's not right. It is said that in the early years, King Zhou also thought about giving this person an official position, but he refused. If this is the case, then he definitely did not come here to seek wealth and honor in the world.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he just called him over and asked, and he would know the truth. Anyway, he wasn't worried about whether Qi Baimei had any evil intentions.
Among other things, several of the generals under his command were Qi Refiners with a background of casual cultivation. In his opinion, their cultivation level was much better than that of Qi Yuan back then.
So Kong Xuan nodded slightly and said calmly: "Then bring him in."
Outside the camp gate, Qi Yuan stood alone, waiting to meet Kong Xuan later.
He did not ask Yang Chan and the others to come with him.
Yang Chan had just obtained the Lotus Lamp. Although this treasure was destined to her, it was limited by her realm and she had not fully refined this spiritual treasure.
In addition, her body had just been nourished by the innate Qi on the lotus lamp, and the aura was so obvious that Kong Xuan could easily see it with his eyesight.
Although it is said that Kong Xuan is a proud man and may not take other people's treasures by force, the treasure of the Lotus Lamp can be regarded as a top-notch spiritual treasure even among the innate spiritual treasures.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand in anything, just be afraid of the eventuality.
If Kong Xuan got greedy, they would have no power to resist.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to leave Yang Chan far away and come to see Kong Xuan alone.
After a while, Kong Xuan's personal guards came to greet him and took him into the Chinese army's tent.
Looking at the handsome Kong Xuan above, Qi Yuan quickly bowed his head and said, "I have seen Marshal Kong."
"Um?"
Kong Xuan didn't care much at first, but when he saw it, he was suddenly shocked.
Because the Qi Yuan he saw at this time was very different from what he saw at Sanshanguan last time.
Of course, this does not mean how deep Qi Yuan's magic power is.
Although his current magic power has been polished over the past few years and is much more pure and condensed than before, but according to Kong Xuan's behavior, even if his magic power is a hundred times stronger, Kong Xuan will not care too much.
What really surprised Kong Xuan was that he actually saw two mysterious lights of merit appearing faintly behind Qi Yuan's head, which surprised him.
Qi Yuan once taught cooking skills to the human race, and because of his contribution to the human race, he gained some humane merits. After he first met Qi Yuan, he asked someone to find out about this matter.
But after all, it was just a humane merit that was useless to other races, and judging from the fact that the merit he obtained at that time was not very much, Kong Xuan did not take him to heart.
But now, he actually discovered the aura of immortal virtues from Qi Yuan, which surprised him.
Is it so easy to obtain the energy of merit and virtue now?
Then, he shook his head.
If you have not made great contributions to heaven and earth, and have not contributed to the path of immortality, it will be so difficult to obtain the aura of merit.
He glanced at Qi Yuan with some envy in his heart. If he had these immortal virtues, he wouldn't have relied on the luck of the Shang Dynasty to practice, so that he had been contaminated by Nuo Da's karma, and now he had to pay it back.
It's a pity that everyone's method of obtaining merit is only suitable for themselves. Even if others learn from it, it will be of no use.
Therefore, Kong Xuan could only sigh in his heart with regret and did not ask Qi Yuan how he obtained the aura of merit.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, but on the surface he remained calm and raised his hand to signal Qi Yuan to sit down.
Because Qi Yuan's potential now was far greater than what he had seen at Sanshanguan, Kong Xuan actually paid more attention to him than before.
"I see that the magic power in your Taoist friend is far more pure than when I first met you. I can lay such a solid foundation. I think the road to becoming an immortal is not far away. I am really gratified!"
Kong Xuan said a few polite words.
Qi Yuan hurriedly said: "Marshal, you are so grateful. The reason why Pindao has achieved his current level of cultivation is entirely dependent on the care of his elders. Otherwise, he would not have achieved what he has achieved today."
He was very smart to single out the fact that he had a disciple first. After all, the identity of an ordinary cultivator was far less important than the identity of a disciple of Jie Jiao.
"oh?"
Sure enough, after hearing this, Kong Xuan followed Qi Yuan's topic and asked, "Didn't you know that you are a disciple of that master?"
"Master Zhao Gongming."
Qi Yuan raised his hands in the direction of the East China Sea: "Now I am practicing on Jin'ao Island with my master. I am cared for by my master, Uncle Yunxiao and others. Only then can I achieve my current Taoism. Otherwise, I would have to spend hundreds of years of hard work."
Kong Xuan narrowed his eyes.
He didn't expect that Qi Yuan was still a disciple of Jie Jiao.
Zhao Gongming knew that this person was also a Daluo Jinxian, with amazing magical powers, and the magic weapon in his hand was even more powerful.
His three sisters also all have extraordinary cultivations, among them Yunxiao is also a Daluo Jinxian.
A few years ago, these brothers and sisters beat Taoist Ran Deng into a state of disarray.
When he first heard that the Grand Master invited a master to intercept and teach to fight with Chan, he still knew something about it.
However, with his pride, even if he is also a Da Luo Jinxian, he still thinks that he is the strongest one.
Although he knew the identity of Qi Yuanjie's disciple, he would not be enthusiastic about him because of this.
In addition, he had no intention of doing anything to Qi Yuan, so he treated him as normal.
After chatting for a while, Kong Xuan asked: "I don't know why my friend came to see me. What's the important thing?"
"I'm just here to ask the marshal for some advice."
When Qi Yuan saw that he was going straight to the point, he stopped going around in circles and said directly: "I wonder what the marshal thinks of this great catastrophe?"
"The Great Tribulation of the Gods?"
Kong Xuan was stunned and looked at Qi Yuan doubtfully.
He had stayed in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm for too long and was looking for a way to break through but could not find it.
Later, I saw that the human race was favored by heaven and had long-lasting luck, so when the Shang Dynasty was founded, I negotiated with Shang Tang to help him open up the country, and he had to rely on the fortune of the Shang Dynasty to practice.
Therefore, in the Great Shang Dynasty, there was a legend that the destiny black bird descended and gave birth to Shang.
For hundreds of years after that, Kong Xuan lived in seclusion as an official in the Great Shang Dynasty. With the help of national luck, he tried to break through the realm of Da Luo Jinxian and become a quasi-sage.
It's just that it's so difficult to break through to the Quasi-Sage. Even though he has now reached the ultimate level of Daluo Jinxian, he still misses the final step and fails to step in.
Although he has not had much contact with the world of cultivation in the past hundreds of years, with his ability, he can certainly sense the huge tribulation energy contained between heaven and earth.
In fact, although he has a huge cause and effect with Dashang, with his current behavior, there are no other ways to resolve this cause and effect.
It's just that he can sense that although this catastrophe is dangerous, it is also his opportunity.
As long as he can survive this catastrophe safely, it is very likely that he will break through the current realm and achieve the realm of quasi-sage in one fell swoop.
Furthermore, with his high and arrogant heart, he did not think that he would perish here, so even though he had clearly seen Xiqi's calamity, he still had no fear, so he came to the west to conquer, intending to take advantage of this.
The next great calamity sharpens oneself.
However, because he has been hiding in the court and official circles for hundreds of years, he is not familiar with many news in the cultivation world.
What's more, this time the Great Tribulation of the Gods was mainly aimed at the three religions, and most of the Phoenix clan lived in seclusion in the Southern Wilderness ancestral land and had no idea about it. Of course, no one came to tell him the whole story of the Great Tribulation of the Gods.
.
So he frowned a little when he heard Qi Yuan's words.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan knew that he only had a partial understanding of this catastrophe and did not know the details.
So he talked about the three religions' joint discussion on the list of gods.
Then, Qi Yuan said: "I have heard the name of the Marshal mentioned by the elders in the sect, so I know some of the origins of the Marshal."
Having said this, he calmly looked at Kong Xuan's face, and when he saw that Kong Xuan's expression did not change, he breathed a small sigh of relief in his heart.
Not many people know the origin of Kong Xuan, but in order to continue the topic below, Qi Yuan had no choice but to talk about the elders of his sect.
As for which elder it is, there is no need to say this.
In fact, Kong Xuan didn't care much about this. He had disciples all over the world, so it was not a big deal if someone knew his origin.
Qi Yuan continued: "With the marshal's magical power, I expect that the people in Xiqi will definitely not be opponents, but after all, the marshal is still not invincible in the world. If he really blocks the road to becoming a god, I am afraid that a disaster will be imminent.
