The rule of the world of spiritual practice has always been: once you become a teacher, you will always be a father. Zhang Hao officially became a teacher, and we will indeed be a family from now on.
Li Shaolong's face was still a little dazed just now, but at this moment, the brightest smile suddenly broke out. The speed was so fast that Zhang Hao felt a little weird.
Li Shaolong walked up to Zhang Hao, took out a storage ring and put it into Zhang Hao's hand, with a smile on his face: "Junior brother, I felt that you were destined as soon as we met. Sure enough. But I was still a little hasty and unprepared.
These are some of the things that senior brother usually has. I’ll give them to you evenly. Although they’ve been used, don’t mind.”
Murong Feixue was much normal. A slightly distant smile appeared on her face: "Junior brother, congratulations. I am not prepared for the meeting ceremony. I will supply you when I return to Fenglei Palace. Fenglei Palace is the teacher's current temple."
"Zhang Hao pays homage to senior brothers and sisters. Thank you for the gift."
Lei Xingfeng spoke: "Okay, let's all sit down. Let's talk about some things together."
This time, Zhang Hao no longer sat half-way, but sat down formally with a straight waist. Unlike Lei Xingfeng, who was half-lying down.
Lei Xingfeng glanced at the three of them, "It's a pity that the third child is not here. But you can talk to the third child about what happened today."
After a pause, Lei Xingfeng looked at Li Shaolong again, and Murong Feixue said: "You two may know a little bit about some things, but only a little. I thought about it and will explain it to you today. I also watched Blue Star
The development of the group is somewhat disappointing.
As the saying goes, there is nothing that cannot be said to others, but maybe it would be better to talk about some things."
"There are a lot of speculations from the outside world about Zhisheng, Zhoutian Formation, etc. In fact, it is very simple to explain clearly.
The Zhoutian Formation left behind by the Holy Emperor was essentially a practice, a practice of a saint!
Those that transform the big world, promote cultivation, etc. are just auxiliary abilities that have been specially trained by this method to cultivate practitioners.
Let’s put it this way, the Zhoutian Formation may be a different kind of ‘jade slip’!”
Zhang Hao was shocked when he heard this. As for Li Shaolong, Murong Feixue was also shocked. Using a big world to record information,
Lei Xingfeng continued: "The sage's technique is naturally all-encompassing. To analyze this technique, more quasi-sages need to work together.
There are 366 important nodes in the Zhoutian Array. In addition to the 'Tian Yuan' position in the center, which is the 'Ziwei position' on the stars, there are 365 nodes.
Every node contains a path to becoming a saint. But to fully analyze the technique, 365 quasi-sages will need to work together."
"Some people say that because of the problem of quasi-sages, it is becoming more and more difficult for latecomers to practice. This is true. But in essence, the Zhoutian Formation is also accumulating strength, promoting the emergence of more quasi-sages.
In fact, we quasi-sages have also tried to leave the Zhoutian Formation and explore satellite galaxies. We found that the world transformed by the Zhoutian Formation is indeed more suitable for practice and even survival.
If the Zhoutian Formation did not exist, cultivation would still exist. But it would not be as prosperous as it is today. Under natural conditions, it would take millions of years to give birth to a quasi-sage in cultivation.
The fact that you are able to enter the Great Perfection of Daluo Jinxian now is actually a gift from the Zhoutian Formation and a gift left by the Holy Emperor back then. Of course, I know that everyone is still dissatisfied."
"The competition for quasi-sages has been fierce these years, but everyone has unanimously cultivated more disciples and wanted to become more quasi-sages. But the current situation is not optimistic.
In fact, the older generation of quasi-sages have begun to show the characteristics of the five declines of heaven and man. The technique of distraction was actually originally developed by the older generation of quasi-sages.
Quasi-sages rarely interfere directly with the world of cultivation, because everyone is in retreat to maintain their lives."
Zhang Hao didn't even blink when he heard this. It was so shocking, wasn't it?
Lei Xingfeng continued: "Although I don't know the reason, so far, among all the Quasi-Sage's disciples, none of them have broken through to Quasi-Sage; all Quasi-Saints seem to have broken through on their own.
But fortunately, we have cultivated many Daluo Jinxian Dzogchen and finally saved some face.
But I think Zhang Hao has the potential to become a quasi-sage. As for me, on the one hand, I think about my own predicament back then, and I want to provide Zhang Hao with a guarantee, which is a bit of love for talents. On the other hand, I also have two selfish motives.
One is to break the predicament that no Quasi-Saint disciple can break through to the Quasi-Saint.
The other one is the world of demons and recent science and technology. I sense a huge opportunity, but I haven’t yet figured out how to arrange this opportunity.
Maybe the opportunity for you two to break through in the future will fall on Zhang Hao."
Li Shaolong and Murong Feixue looked at each other, then at Zhang Hao, then at Lei Xingfeng, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Zhang Hao was also surprised, but gradually he calmed down. Once things were explained, it was easy. But Mr. Zhang needed to refresh his sense of existence: "Master, have the quasi-sages found the problem that the disciples can't break through the quasi-sages?"
"There are some guesses. Maybe it's...protected too well.
Life has become more affluent, but everyone has lost their sense of urgency! But your sense of urgency is a bit too much. If this continues, I'm afraid you will collapse.
Of course, I hope you will continue to maintain this state in the future. Even for your own future, you must maintain it."
After hearing this, Zhang Hao suddenly said: "I think I roughly understand where the problem lies. I wonder if Master has seen the monster cultivation that Dayang Group is currently united with Lou Fanguo?"
"No."
"Then let me explain in detail. At the beginning, we jointly studied with Lou Fanguo a small monster called the Musk Deer. The musk produced by it is an important medicinal material for refining the Qingxin Pill among the elixirs of the Golden Pill stage and below.
However, the natural production is rare.
We studied together with Lou Fanguo. Initially, we provided a favorable living environment for the large-scale breeding of musk deer.
In the beginning, musk deer did reproduce in large numbers. But the good times did not last long, and problems began to occur in about two years. The musk deer began to become weak and sick, and the musk production decreased and the quality declined. Even the musk deer were given elixirs, but there was no improvement.
Later, biologists from our Ocean Group came up with a solution.
The method is very simple, beyond imagination, just put a dozen wolves in the breeding farm.
Just one month later, the situation for the musk deer completely changed.
Today, we use a planet to breed musk deer. Along with the musk deer, there are wolves, foxes, lions, falcons, and scattered tigers. The ecological balance is maintained through artificial intervention.
There are now 18.6 billion musk deer on that planet, and about 340,000 musk deer die from predators every day. The death rate and birth rate are basically balanced.
This breeding base can provide 8,000 tons of musk every day, with the highest quality standards. 8,000 tons of musk is enough to meet one-third of the Blue Star Group’s demand for Qingxin Dan.”
A simple example, but it gave Lei Xingfeng, Li Shaolong, and Murong Feixue a huge shock. Suddenly, Lei Xingfeng looked at Li Shaolong and Murong Feixue and said: "Maybe I was too gentle to you before. Especially you, Shaolong,
In the past thirty thousand years, there has been almost no progress in cultivation.
Maybe the opportunity in the world of demons is for you to fight.
These demon saints of the heavenly demons don’t have too powerful spells, they are just enough for you to hone.”
Li Shaolong glanced at Zhang Hao faintly, his eyes full of bitterness. This little junior brother was about to trick people as soon as he entered the door.
But now thinking back on the previous battle, Li Shaolong had to admit: "Master, after confronting the Demon Saint for a while, I did feel that my cultivation was loose. But... it's too dangerous."
"Danger? Huh, Zhang Hao just said that about 340,000 musk deer are hunted by predators every day. The death rate can reach 120 million a year, not counting artificial hunting."
"... Master, now that Daluo Jinxian has reached Dzogchen, if I count on my fingers, it does not exceed 3,000. It is unknown whether there are even 2,000."
"If you don't become a quasi-sage, you will die sooner or later."
"..."
Zhang Hao suddenly felt that he was too hasty to become a disciple?
But Lei Xingfeng turned to Zhang Hao and said: "Zhang Hao, the quasi-sage's apprenticeship should be more solemn. Even for the Dayang Group, it must be like this. You have to arrange a grand ceremony. This is also the protection of the Dayang Group.
Let Feixue arrange this with you."
"Yes. Thank you, Master."
Because they had to prepare a grand gift, only half a day later, the matter was completely spread. The Blue Star Group was in a state of shock.
"Zhang Hao's apprenticeship to Quasi-Saint Lei Xingfeng will be held on the first day of February in the 116th year of Tianyuan. The ceremony will be held at Scarlet Pearl Star."
"Murong Feixue is personally giving instructions on the ceremony."
"Li Shaolong expressed that he welcomes his junior brother."
"The reporter interviewed Guan Shanyu, the quasi-sage third disciple of Lei Xingfeng. Guan Shanyu, who had just returned from investigating in the Longyuan Empire, said: Ah, I have a junior brother? That's great, I finally have a junior brother to beat up in the future."
"Guan Shanyu said: I didn't say it, don't say it nonsense, I didn't say it."
"Niu Wanhai, the quasi-sage disciple of Lord Glacier and True Lord Fengyun, said: Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for his meteoric rise.
At the same time, he expressed doubts about Quasi-Sage Lei Xingfeng’s approach and asked: Uncle Master, is your approach inappropriate? At least we have to wait until we compete with the Blue Star Group.”
"Murong Feixue was interviewed by reporters and said: According to the ranking of 'Bo Zhong Shu Ji', Niu Wanhai should call Quasi-Sage Lei Xingfeng 'Master Uncle' and not 'Master Uncle'."
"Bingluan True Lord Mo Qiuyu rushed to the Blue Star Group and said: Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for becoming a quasi-sage disciple. From now on, we will all be in the same sect. We must 'communicate' more!"
"Many great figures in the Blue Star Group expressed their congratulations."
"Representatives from the United Nations of Tianyuan Star Civilization sent congratulations and said that this is also the glory of Tianyuan Star Civilization."
"Bingluan True Lord Mo Qiuyu once again said: Does Zhang Hao's apprenticeship have anything to do with your Tianyuan Star civilization?"
"Mo Qiuyu said: I didn't say anything! Don't talk nonsense! Be careful, I'll beat you up."
"Mo Qiuyu said: I didn't say anything above."
"Li Shaolong said: This is all a mess."
"[Dare to Speak, Dare to Be a Newspaper] was investigated, and the relevant person in charge was taken away. Is it a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature? What kind of unknown secret is hidden behind this? Please pay attention to the follow-up reports of [Dare to Speak, Dare to Be a Newspaper]
."
"[Dare to Speak and Dare to Be a Newspaper] was imprisoned, and the shareholder behind it is the same person."
"Is anyone concerned about the spread of the virus in the Longyuan Empire?"
"The unknown battle behind the gate of the world, and the ultimate collision between the two worlds behind Zhang Hao's apprenticeship."
"This newspaper has an exclusive interview with the battle hero of the Gate of the World, Daluo Jinxian Jiang Hang. Senior Jiang Hang said: No comment."
"Truth Daily exclusively interviews the hero behind the gate to the world, the captain of the flying dragon fleet, to reveal the secret behind the gate to the world."
"Military Daily published an article: The defenders of the Gate of the World bravely intercepted the attack of the Sky Demon World; Commander Dugu Junjie specifically said: We do not have a 'flying dragon fleet' here, and neither does the small detachment."
…
In the villa, Quasi-Sage Lei Xingfeng was reading the latest newspapers and sometimes reading news online. But the information at the moment was really rich. Looking at it, Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but laugh: "It's really... a mess
It’s a mess.”
Murong Feixue chuckled: "Just get used to it. But the news work here is actually quite interesting, and they have indeed made a lot of positive contributions to the development of Blue Star Group.
Junior Brother has also said before that the public opinion environment is also deliberately cultivated. This can make the dead world of spiritual practice become active as soon as possible and promote exchanges. When exchanges increase, business activities and other activities will naturally increase, ultimately driving the development of the entire society.
But encouragement does not mean indulgence. Those who fabricate news, distort facts, etc. must also be severely punished."
Lei Xingfeng nodded, with a smile on his face, "Sure enough, you have to live and learn. After coming to Blue Star Group, I realized that I still have a lot to learn.
By the way, what do you think of Zhang Hao?"
"Huh? Oh... I think his work ability, trustworthiness, vision, etc. are all good. His courage is also good. But he is just a bit too calculating.
Moreover, Zhang Hao had a master before, who was Taoist Master Mingxu of Xuanzhen Sect. But they broke up later. I think I need to be vigilant about this matter."
Lei Xingfeng smiled and nodded, "I have thoroughly investigated this matter, and Zhang Hao is not at fault. In fact, Zhang Hao handled it very well.
Being scheming is indeed a bit unpopular, and everyone likes to be silly and happy. But looking at the overall environment, this is the correct attitude towards life.
Zhang Hao used a planned and even agreed-upon 'robbery' to draw a clear line between him and the Xuanzhen Sect. The Xuanzhen Sect also received enough benefits. In fact, both parties are willing to fight and suffer, and it doesn't matter what is right or wrong."
"What if we do the same in the future?"
Lei Xingfeng's face became serious: "If I, a quasi-sage future, have to rely on exploiting his disciples to survive, I would rather die!"
"Oh, master, master, please calm down the fire." Murong Feixue instantly transformed into a close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket, ran up behind Lei Xingfeng and knocked on the shoulder.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "You, I accepted you because you were cute and kind-hearted. It's not bad if you don't have the qualifications. It's just that you are too simple and you only focus on your cultivation.
Simplicity, of course, is good for practice. Although your qualifications are good, they can only be considered good. But you were able to break through to the Great Perfection of Daluo Jinxian, thanks to your simplicity.
But this world is very complicated. I can still protect you now, but what about the future.
Your senior brother is a madman, and the third junior brother is too playful. He can come into contact with the Demon Saint Virus at will. I have asked him to go directly to Junjing Constellation and report to Zhou Xueyao. First, check whether there is any infection.
Of the three of you, you are the only one who wants me to worry less, but none of you are reliable at what you do."
"Hehe... I understand. The reason why I accepted Zhang Hao is probably because of Zhang Hao's ability to do things."
"Hmph, I can give you three a reference. Look at how others do things, and then look at you. Hey..." After saying that, Lei Xingfeng sighed, "In fact, almost all the disciples of Quasi-Sage,
None of you know how to do things. You guys, you are praised so high that you have long forgotten the hardships of the world of cultivation.
From now on, if you encounter anything, please ask Zhang Hao to find out more."
I added in my heart: Don’t bother me anymore!
…………
And what about Mr. Zhang, our nanny? Mr. Zhang is very busy!
It is said that there are only ten days left until the first day of February in the 116th year of the Tianyuan era, so there really aren’t too many things to prepare for.
The first is the World Gate, which is the focus of attention for the time being. And after analysis, everyone generally believes that there will definitely be a counterattack in the Sky Demon World, and it should be very strong. Therefore, the World Gate is very tense.
In addition, there is also the matter of the new ‘Joint Athletic Conference’. Because this time the two quasi-saints will send people to participate, and it involves the issue of the quasi-saint’s face of the Glacier Heavenly Lord, so this matter cannot be taken lightly.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao is now a quasi-sage disciple, so this matter is not much trouble. Lei Xingfeng has publicly stated his position.
The next step is just the first day of February. A grand apprenticeship ceremony cannot be ruined. Moreover, Zhang Hao, even Dayang Group, and the Tianyuan Star civilization also need this ceremony.
From this moment on, the Tianyuan Star civilization, and even the Ocean Group, are no longer unloved children. However, the Carp Nebula exploration plan, which has entered the execution stage, will still not stop.
So the third thing Zhang Hao did was to plan the apprenticeship ceremony with all his strength.
Murong Feixue came to help, mainly to provide information about other quasi-sage apprenticeship ceremonies as a reference.
However, the scene was a bit lively beyond imagination. I don’t know how many reporters and spectators came to Scarlet Pearl Star. There were also support personnel from Dayang Group, Tianyuan Star Civilization, and even Blue Star Group came to help.
In addition, there are many practitioners who want to come and see the quasi-sage. Because some people are already calling: Is it possible to arrange a simple sermon during this apprenticeship process?
Maybe because Zhang Hao has always had such a good image, everyone actually had the courage to ask this question.
At first, it was just said by a few people casually, but gradually more and more people spread it, and it turned into some kind of slogan and wave. Finally, in just two days, it formed a trend of public opinion, and some people even found Zhang.
Hao asked: Can I try this?
Seeing the ferocious public opinion, Zhang Hao was forced to take the initiative to ask about the matter.
This was indeed beyond expectation. No one expected that Zhang Hao, who was just a disciple, would cause such a sensation. Everyone also wanted to take advantage of Zhang Hao and the Quasi-Sage.
He was really courageous. But the influence of public opinion was so great that Zhang Hao had to pay attention to it. After thinking about it, Zhang Hao first asked his senior sister Murong Feixue to give a message, and then went to Lei Xingfeng's residence to talk about it in person.
