Two months later.

Zhou Ming retired from the position of the head of Zhenlin City and officially occupied the second line.

At this time, he had just turned 40 years old and had completely entered middle age.

And the brilliant career he has created in the past 20 years has made countless ordinary people worship, which is enough to make the immortals of the sect sigh.

A mortal can create so many "miracles".

Whether it is commercial or military...... This mortal is far beyond people's imagination.

It can even be said that it has changed the world.

He is very successful in his career, but in terms of cultivation, he doesn't dare to compliment it.

Initial stage of condensation.

Zhou Ming's cultivation has been stuck at this stage for many years.

There is hardly any progress.

And the other control character under the "two-line mode", Ye Kong, with his outstanding talent, is now an immortal in the late stage of Gudan, not to mention becoming the sect elder of Guanglei Mountain, and in his lifetime, he may also impact to a higher stage of enlightenment.

In comparison, Zhou Ming's rookie-like cultivation is an object that can be crushed to death with one finger in front of Ye Kong.

The disparity in qualifications is the main reason.

But it also has something to do with the fact that Zhou Ming usually can't spare too much time to cultivate.

Moreover, the system also has a "hang-up cultivation" function, whenever Zhou Ming briefly returns to reality, this function can still make the character's body in a state of cultivation, the advantage is not to delay the growth of strength, and the disadvantage is to affect the improvement of the realm.

And because of all the things, Zhou Ming slowly formed a dependence on "hanging up and cultivating", that is, he was in a copy, and he often asked the system to turn on this function, saving time for meditation.

Now, he is a 40-year-old middle-aged man, and the golden period of cultivation has passed, and it is almost impossible to break through again.

The system also suggests that this body can live for another twenty or thirty years, and then it can be forced to quit to avoid wasting time.

However, Zhou Ming has his own plans.

"In this game, the career development is very good, in terms of cultivation, one is limited to talent, and the other is negligent in practice, and it is basically impossible to break through from a mortal to the immortal level. ”

"I can only pin my hopes on the next game and match a person with higher talent. ”

"However, the solid foundation laid in this game is still the key to the success of the next game!"

"The cultivation of the whole people, the new mode of research and cultivation of the whole academy, can gather the wisdom of hundreds of millions of people, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of people cultivating together, understanding together, and then writing the better exercises and perceptions into the books, putting them into the library of Daxian Academy, and scanning them into the database of the system, these valuable materials can all provide me with reference for reference. ”

In the library of Daxian Academy, there are currently 873 kinds of exercises, and more than 3,000 volumes of various notes and experiences.

I'm sure there will be more in the future.

In addition to the "Wisdom Center" library, since last month, a giant building covering an area of several acres and with a foundation nearly 20 meters deep in an open field behind Daxian College will rise within a year under the construction of thousands of skilled workers.

Gathering Tower!

The most important functional building of Darson College.

The business card of the future town forest city, a new landmark of the city with a height greater than the city hall building.

On the design drawings, the appearance of the Juling Pagoda is not only eye-catching, but also the parameters and architectural requirements are stunning.

Height: 160 meters.

Number of layers: 40 layers.

Total internal area: 10,000 square meters.

Maximum capacity: 5000 people.

Adjustable aura concentration: 10 to 1000 times (lowest concentration in the first layer, highest concentration in the 40th layer).

Finally, the cost of this Gathering Spirit Pagoda is jaw-dropping.

The cost of materials alone will cost a billion spirit coins.

Because if you want to achieve the "vortex siphon" effect of the Gathering Spirit Pagoda on the surrounding spirit elements, you need to use a large number of "soul stones", and draw a large number of complex lines on the surface of metal materials such as Yaojin, Chijing, and Xuanxing Iron to promote the absorption of spirit elements.

In addition, it is necessary to spread a small piece of "spirit coins" on the floor of each layer of the spirit gathering tower, and then cover the futon on it, which is equivalent to a cultivator, sitting on the "spirit coin" to cultivate, these "spirit coins" that can automatically absorb the spirit yuan also have an obvious effect of accelerating cultivation.

And these hundreds of millions of spirit coins laid on the floor are not included in the cost of materials.

Therefore, not only for Zhenlin City, but also for this world, the Spirit Gathering Tower is a shocking super project.

It is also the key to the future strength of Zhenlin City.

Funding is not a problem at all, Zhou Ming only hopes that the Juling Pagoda can be completed as soon as possible and put into use as soon as possible, so he personally serves as the project team leader and directs the construction on the construction site every day.

The construction of the Gathering Spirit Pagoda has become the top priority he is most concerned about!

"Shanhe, you just retired from the position of the head of the city, you should have a good rest for a few days, there is a person in charge of the construction site, why do you come here every day, you seem to be busier than before. ”

A clear voice came from beside him, and Gao Xiuzhen, the vice principal in charge of academic affairs, also came to the hot construction site.

Zhou Ming, who was wearing a hard hat on his head, turned his head to look at her, and said, "The matter of the Gathering Spirit Pagoda is very important, I can't catch it myself." ”

"I know, but you also have to pay attention to your body, you have aged a lot in the past few years, I thought it would be much easier after retiring as the head of the city, but I didn't expect to be so busy and tired. ”

In Gao Xiuzhen's voice, he was distressed and complained, and his body was distressed, and what he complained about was the promise that this man gave her to "cultivate hard after retiring", which has not been fulfilled until now, and she is still busy with her career as always.

"Xiuzhen, now in Daxian Academy, there are three thousand students, and there are more than three thousand who have graduated, a total of six thousand, but there are more than two hundred people stuck in the middle stage of condensation, and more than two thousand people stuck in the late stage of qi refining, there is no hope of a breakthrough, but it has been stuck for a long time, why?"

"The concentration of Reiki is insufficient. ”

"It is said that the sect with large spiritual veins has the best spiritual energy concentration in the cave mansion, which is more than 1000 times that of the mortal world, and the general cave mansion is also more than 100 times, and the outer gate does not have the qualification to cultivate in the cave Mansion, and the spiritual energy concentration is more than 20 times that of the cultivation outside. ”

"This is the reason why the sect is strong, their disciples' cultivation speed is very fast, and they don't have to worry about the lack of spiritual energy at all. ”

He shook his head: "The mortal world will not work, the mortal aura is thin, although the early stage has little impact, but the later it is, the greater the limit, and it will even affect the breakthrough." ”

"The number of high-level monks in Zhenlin City is also difficult to increase. ”

"It's different with the Spirit Gathering Tower!"

"With this tower, students no longer have to worry about the lack of aura concentration, they can practice in an environment like the blessed land of the Immortal Mountain, the problem of limiting the speed of cultivation is solved, and the strength of Zhenlin City will once again leap forward!"

The more Zhou Ming said, the more excited he became: "After the Gathering Spirit Pagoda is put into use, it is estimated that it will not be long before Zhenlin City will increase thousands of condensate stage monks, and even the first 'immortal' of the Gudan stage will appear, and then with the unique education system of Daxian Academy, under the mode of national education and national cultivation, we can cultivate one monk for every three hundred people." ”

"As for the sect, it is about one person out of every 30,000 to 100,000 people and sent to the sect for cultivation. ”

"In other words, the efficiency of Daxian Academy's cultivation of monks is more than a hundred times that of the sect. ”

"If we can catch up with the sect in terms of average cultivation speed, in less than ten years, the strength of Zhenlin City will not be weaker than that of a thousand-year-old sect!"

"In another fifty years at most, the strength of Zhenlin City will be enough to crush the Ten Thousand Year Sect. ”

"Don't say that Red Star Mountain is not to worry about at that time, this world will also enter the mortal era!"

"So I have to hurry up, build the Spirit Gathering Tower as soon as possible, and achieve those goals as soon as possible!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming was ambitious, and his eyes were full of longing.

Seeing the man's appearance, Gao Xiuzhen on the side shook her head helplessly, she understood this man's ambition, but she also had to rest well, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't have to do everything herself.

"Xiuzhen, when this Gathering Spirit Pagoda is built, I will ask you for advice, it stands to reason that your qualifications are average, but in recent years, you have made faster and faster progress, and a few days ago, you broke through to the Gudan stage and became the first local immortal in Zhenlin City...... I really don't know how you cultivate, I can't catch up with you at all. ”

Helplessly looking at Gao Xiuzhen, whose life expectancy increased by five hundred years after his cultivation broke through to the Gudan period, and he became younger like a 20-year-old girl, Zhou Ming couldn't figure it out: but after a few years of hard work, Gao Xiuzhen's cultivation grew so fast, and he couldn't catch up with him no matter how he left him behind.

Gao Xiuzhen can cultivate to the Gudan stage, so can I?

Zhou Ming also thought so, but the system said that it was unlikely, because although Gao Xiuzhen's qualifications were average, he had a lot of room for improvement, which belonged to the "acquired growth" qualification, and Zhou Ming's acquired growth space was logically large, but it seemed to have been artificially damaged, so there was not much possibility of improvement.

There is a probability of more than 99% that it will stay in the Gudan period for life.

Man-made sabotage?

Can qualifications be artificially destroyed?

This surprised Zhou Ming and kept a mystery in his heart.

Of course, although his heart was a little sour, he still congratulated Gao Xiuzhen on his breakthrough to the Gudan stage and gave a few gifts.

And after Gao Xiuzhen accepted the congratulations and gifts, he also felt a sense of urgency in his heart, urging Zhou Ming to step up his cultivation more frequently, and hoped that he could break through the bottleneck and break through to the Gudan stage like her.

The lifespan of a monk in the Gudan period can generally be increased by 500 years, so he is called an "immortal".

And the lifespan of ordinary people in this world is generally only about 100 years, and they will return to dust.

Therefore, the purpose of Gao Xiuzhen's hard cultivation in the past few years is precisely this: if she becomes an immortal, and Zhang Shanhe also becomes an immortal, after Xia Xiaoya's death, for the remaining four hundred years, wouldn't they be a pair of immortal couples?

Who else can stop them at once?

It is with this belief that Gao Xiuzhen has made rapid progress in recent years.

Zhang Shanhe suddenly stood still, how could she not be in a hurry?

So she said to the man, "When this Spirit Gathering Pagoda is built, you have to listen to me and cultivate with me." ”

"No problem. ”

Zhou Ming winked at her and gave her an OK gesture.

The woman smiled. 1910
