Qi Yuan looked at the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit with a smile and asked: "Uncle, I wonder if the gods of Dou Mansion have agreed to my request?"
"well……"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit sighed softly and said helplessly: "You are just giving me a hard time. Why do you let these gods refine so many flying swords?"
"It won't work if I don't practice!"
Qi Yuan smiled bitterly: "You also know that I, my nephew, have established a sect in Mount Emei for hundreds of years, and I have tens of thousands of disciples.
With so many disciples, at least one flying sword is needed in each hand. Some disciples who have practiced special swordsmanship or are proficient in sword formations need several or even hundreds of flying swords to use.
Although I built the Sword Forging Hall and the Weapon Refining Hall in Emei, you also know that the Emei sect has only been established for a few hundred years. Although there are many disciples learning to make weapons, I want to satisfy the needs of all disciples. Demand is far from enough.
Moreover, Emei is still in the stage of rapid development, and there will only be more and more disciples in the future. Even if I personally take Qi Yi and the others to refine the flying swords, I can barely provide enough for the current disciples to use.
This has wasted a lot of their training time to refine enough flying swords, and it is not an option in the long run, so the disciples thought about it and finally begged the master."
Our Lady of Jinling helplessly shook her head: "Although Master asked you to stay in the Three Realms because I wanted you to continue my luck as a disciple, I probably didn't expect you to be able to do this.
It has only been a few hundred years, and you have already accepted so many disciples. Now you can no longer supply Feijian, and other cultivation resources will definitely be consumed even more.
Even if I can fill the gap in the flying sword for you, what will you do with other training resources in the future?
If you follow your method of recruiting disciples, you will probably have 100,000 disciples in Emei within a thousand years. Will you be able to support them by then?"
Gao Yan on the side also nodded in agreement: "According to me, nephew, you should select some elite disciples with more outstanding talents to focus on training.
You should not compare yourself with your master. Your master is a saint, and his ability to preach and teach is second to none even among the saints. This is why you can train all your disciples to become immortals, but you definitely can't do it.
Among the disciples you have taken into the mountain now, I am afraid that not many can truly become immortals. Raising so many disciples is indeed too wasteful of resources."
What they said is right. According to Qi Yuan's current method of training disciples, countless resources are consumed.
It is easy to recruit disciples, but it is much more difficult to train these disciples.
Even those with extraordinary talents often need tens or hundreds of years to develop into talents, while those with lower qualifications will need hundreds of years of hard training to reach a certain height.
For such a long time, each disciple needs to consume a lot of elixirs, magic weapons, and other spiritual materials. What's more, the Emei Sword Sect now has tens of thousands of disciples, and they are still recruiting new disciples in a steady stream. getting Started.
To be honest, over the past hundreds of years, after seeing the development of the Emei Sword Sect, the immortals of the Chan Sect no longer had the idea of competing with Qi Yuan.
This method of recruiting disciples is so crazy that even Guangcheng Ziyun Zhongzi and others would not dare to be like him, let alone explain the sects founded by ordinary disciples.
Now in the Three Realms, many forces are looking at the joke, waiting for when the Emei Sword Sect will run out of resources, and then they want to see how Qi Yuan will respond.
Even Western Buddhism still has this mentality.
Two or three hundred years ago, after the Randen Buddha learned about the rapid development of the Emei Sword Sect, he discussed the matter with a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan.
After all, if Western Buddhism wants to flourish, it has to spread Buddhism to the densely populated eastern lands.
However, Jie Jiao's disciples are developing at such a rapid pace. After they finish handling the matter in Xiniu Hezhou, they may face a powerful force. They have been worried about this for a while.
However, as time passed year by year, they found that the Emei Sword Sect was developing faster and faster, and it showed no signs of slowing down after so many years. This is interesting.
After all, the disciples recruited by the Emei Sword Sect will be admitted into the inner sect as long as they pass the examination of the outer sect.
These disciples are different from the believers recruited by their Buddhist sect.
Although there are many believers who choose to become monks and become Buddhist disciples, the number is at least one million. In terms of number alone, it is more than a hundred times more than the Emei disciples.
However, Lingshan Mountain does not need to provide any resources for those monks. It will only pass down some Buddhist teachings for these Buddhist disciples to understand on their own.
To put it bluntly, it is to fend for itself and let those temples among the people find ways to collect property and obtain resources.
In the absence of strong competitors, Buddhism is widely spread in Xiniuhezhou, and it is not uncommon for some small countries to even pay tribute to some temples.
It can be said that Buddhism is a true example of casting a wide net to catch more fish. Although the vast majority of ordinary monks have never stepped into the threshold of Buddhism in their lives, it is inevitable that a few monks will understand Buddhism by chance.
The true meaning of spiritual practice, step into the door of practice.
However, the disciples of the Emei Sword Sect are different. Each of them needs flying swords from their master to provide various training needs. With such a huge consumption, they do not believe that Qi Yuan can persist.
Qi Yuan heard the words of persuasion from the words of Holy Mother Jin Ling and Gao Yan. He chuckled and said: "Master, uncle, disciples are also self-aware. Of course, they know that they are far behind in cultivating disciples."
Compared with the master.
But it is precisely for this reason that I have accepted so many disciples in order to cultivate real geniuses from them.
Of course, whether these disciples can attain enlightenment and become immortals depends not only on the teachings of the masters, but also on the disciples' own opportunities.
However, even those disciples who cannot become immortals are not without any use, let alone a waste of resources.
In addition to their own swordsmanship, many disciples have also learned some other skills, and many disciples can also bring back a lot of resources when they travel, gradually forming a virtuous cycle.
Besides, the reason why I accepted so many disciples is because I have other plans."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Gao Yan suddenly became interested: "Can you tell me about it?"
Qi Yuan put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Although the vast majority of disciples cannot achieve immortality, there are still two ways to go after their life spans come to an end.
Those who have understood the way of swordsmanship and are only one step away from becoming immortals can choose to be reincarnated and practice again.
As long as their reincarnated bodies are transferred back to the mountain gate, after their cultivation reaches a certain level, some memories of their past lives can be restored, which will speed up their cultivation a lot.
Moreover, if the swordsmanship of two generations is the same, there may not be no chance of becoming an immortal."
He learned this method from Buddhism. Those eminent Buddhist monks reincarnated more than ten times at every turn and risked their lives in order to obtain the right result.
However, he is not as decisive as the Buddhists. Once he enters Buddhism, he must cut off all ties with the worldly world.
Taoist sects have never said that they have cut off secular ties. Instead, there is a saying that there are no unfilial gods in the world.
Although this cannot be generalized for all Qi practitioners, at least there are very few rumors of unfilial piety among Taoist sects.
After a pause, Qi Yuan continued: "As for those ordinary disciples, after their death, they can be summoned to Heaven and sent to the Immortal Transformation Pond for a while, and then the Master will recruit them into Dou Mansion."
The Holy Mother Jin Ling was stunned: "Recruited into Dou Mansion?"
"good."
Qi Yuan explained: "This move is not to let my uncle take care of these juniors. Most of my disciples have practiced the sword formation method.
And the reason why I asked my uncle to ask the gods of Dou Mansion to help me refine the flying sword is because after hundreds of years of research, I have initially evolved the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation into a set of sword formations.
After all, the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation is the fundamental formation that guards the Heavenly Palace and cannot be used easily.
But after ten thousand years, when the number of immortal disciples from Emei reaches a certain level, they can set up the Star Sword Fighting Formation next week and become a force that can be called upon by Master Uncle at any time."
"Um?"
Mother Jin Ling was stunned, she didn't expect Qi Yuan to have such considerations.
Then he asked with some surprise: "You have thoroughly understood Zhoutian Xingdou Formation, and can you also deduce it into a sword formation?"
"Uncle Master, I think highly of me, but my disciple has not fully understood it."
Qi Yuan said with some embarrassment: "The Zhoutian Xingdou Formation is too profound. The disciples have only comprehended one-tenth of it, and then deduced the thoroughly understood part into the sword formation. In the follow-up, a master will be needed."
Bo Duoduo needs more guidance."
"I see."
Our Lady of Golden Spirit nodded.
As Dou Mu Yuanjun, who is in charge of the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation, she has been in charge of Dou Mansion for hundreds of years and has yet to fully comprehend the formation. If Qi Yuan dares to say that he has fully comprehended it, it would be too obvious for her.
The Great Luo Jinxian is somewhat useless.
However, even if Qi Yuan only comprehended a small part of it, it was already extraordinary, not to mention that he actually transformed it into a sword formation, which still surprised the Golden Spirit Mother.
Qi Yuan continued: "It is because I plan to train Emei disciples to practice the Zhoutian Star Sword Fighting Formation, so I came to Dou Mansion to ask my uncle for advice. I hope that the gods of Dou Mansion can help me refine the flying sword with the star iron above Zhou Tianxing Dou.
sword.
Only these matching star swords can truly bring out the power of the Zhoutian Star Sword Formation.
After hundreds or thousands of years, the lifespan of those disciples who have not cultivated enough will be exhausted. If they do not want to re-enter reincarnation, they will have no choice but to serve in heaven."
Disciples who have understood the way of sword can still be found after reincarnation. It is not easy to find those who have not understood the way of sword. Therefore, Qi Yuan has paved the way for these disciples early. I believe those disciples are also willing to come to heaven.
Effectiveness.
After all, if you serve the elders of your sect in Dou Mansion, you can still get some care. Even as time goes by, you may be able to understand the way of the sword, and then follow the path of Shinto, and you can live forever.
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit nodded: "In that case, I will talk to all the star kings and ask them to help refine the star sword."
Qi Yuan was overjoyed. With the Golden Spirit Mother's advice, this matter would be much simpler.
Otherwise, if he were to talk about it one by one, it would take too long. The key is that he can only persuade Xingjun, who is also from the Jiejiao family. Those Xingjun who explain the teaching will not pay attention to him.
