Chapter 529: The Grand Administrator
Seeing Shen Ling know himself so well, Fang Ling was sincerely moved, and he was even more grateful for his guidance, after all, even he didn't expect that there would be an imperial uncle in the Immortal City, and he was in the position of chief steward.
The chief steward is the head of a room, and his status is second only to the chief steward and the chief steward, and it can also be regarded as a middle official position in the Xianmen, and the status is not high, but it is definitely not low to say that it is not low, not to mention, the pill "medicine" has a decisive role in the cultivation growth of the Xianmen disciples, and the chief steward of the alchemy room who is in charge of the refining of the Dan "medicine" in the door is also considered to be in power.
After saying goodbye to Shen Ling, Fang Ling immediately rushed to the alchemy room "The Dan room is located in the north of the fairy city, and from a distance, you can see the three-story alchemy towers towering majestically, like a stone forest, and there are colorful smoke and dust on the top of the tower, which are intertwined with the white "color" clouds, forming a beautiful picture.
Coming to the gate of the alchemy room, Fang Ling handed over the gold-inlaid jade plate representing the identity of the king of Bingzhou to the disciple guarding the door, and asked him to go in and report it, and it didn't take long for the disciple to hurry out and bring Fang Ling in.
The alchemy room is a large palace complex, the buildings are simple and vicissitudes, and majestic, the doors are closed, the smoke is swirling, and the spacious courtyards are drying all kinds of "medicine" materials, people come and go, and everyone seems to be very busy.
The disciples guarding the gate took Fang Ling to a small hall and left, and then there was a long wait, Fang Ling was not in a hurry, he knew in his heart that every month the disciples of the Immortal Sect could receive a certain number of elixirs according to their cultivation, and they would take one hundred thousand disciples to receive one to calculate, and one hundred thousand pills would be distributed in a month, and the number was obviously far more than that, the number was so huge, and these were all provided by the alchemy room, so Fang Xiande must be very busy, he could immediately let people bring himself in when he was busy, and he was definitely thinking about the relationship with the royal family。
Waiting leisurely, until the sun was about to set, Fang Ling saw a fifty-year-old man appear in the corridor in the distance, as soon as he saw this person, Fang Ling couldn't help but be taken aback, this person's appearance is eight points like his father Fang Hongtian, but he is stronger than him, and his whole body is full of elegance, it seems that he can be literate and martial, it is indeed very similar to the origin of the emperor's family, it seems that this person is the emperor's uncle Fang Xiande.
Fang Xiande saw Fang Ling from afar, his eyes suddenly lit up, he walked over quickly with big strides, and after coming to the small hall, he came straight to Fang Ling, looked up and down, and had a sense of joy that he couldn't put it down, and finally brushed his beard and smiled: "Okay, good, I didn't expect my royal family to have such a qualified man, he reached the realm of Tianrong at a young age, he really has a spirit of ancestors, why don't my royal family worry about it!"
After speaking, he beckoned Fang Ling to sit down, handed him back the gold and jade plate, and then asked with a kind face: "I also went to the mortal world the year before last, but I haven't heard that the royal family has given him the title of king of Chenghe Prefecture. However, my eldest brother's eldest son has the same surname as you, and he is named the king of Shicheng, and there are few people with the same name among the royal family, if I guess correctly, you should be the eldest son of the emperor's brother, the former king of Shicheng. ”
Fang Ling nodded and said, "Uncle Huang is wise, my nephew is the eldest prince of the dynasty." ”
Fang Xiande couldn't help but glance at him more, and said approvingly: "I have also heard a lot about my nephew, his talent is extensive, his wisdom is high, they are all among the top choices, if it is not for the immortals, I want to see you, I don't want to go to God to fulfill my wish." It's just that I didn't expect your cultivation to be so high, and you have cultivated it in the mortal world, so speaking of which, you have just entered the Immortal Sect?"
"Exactly, my father has abdicated, and I have settled on mortal affairs, so I came here through the Zhenguo Heavenly Master. Fang Ling said, he couldn't help but think of mortal things, he was not the important ministers of Shicheng Kingdom, because after Fang Ce ascended the throne, he worked hard to eradicate the remnants of the party established by his mother, and he needed a large number of capable people, Chen Mou and the others happened to be reused, and they could be regarded as having a belonging, but when the matter was over, they would have to return to their earthly mother.
Fang Xiande said with admiration: "With my nephew's talent, you can become an emperor, but you have chosen the way to become an immortal, this decision and courage are not something that everyone can have." ”
Fang Ling said modestly: "Uncle Huang praised it falsely. ”
Fang Xiande smiled again: "I'm afraid my nephew doesn't know my identity yet, my father is the king of Xizhou, your father's own brother, I entered the fairy gate when I was seven years old, and now the king of Xizhou is my second brother." ”
Fang Ling suddenly realized, and said in a voice: "My nephew has heard about the emperor's uncle, it is said that the emperor's uncle can 'chant' poems at the age of three, and he can read the world's great works at the age of five, which is a rare genius, but I didn't expect the emperor's uncle to worship in the immortal gate." ”
Fang Xiande laughed heartily, waved his hand lightly and said: "The royal words have added some fuel and vinegar, besides, this way of cultivating immortals is not a literary talent, you see that I am only now the cultivation of the Yuan Realm, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in this life." ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said: "It is already a great thing for the imperial uncle to be able to sit in the position of the chief steward, and the road to becoming an immortal is about chance, maybe one day the imperial uncle will be enlightened by the great immortal, and he may ascend to the sky in one step." ”
Fang Xiande laughed happily, and then said: "Nephew doesn't have to comfort me, everyone has their own destiny, as far as I am concerned, it is to help me stabilize and unite the Great Chu, and the people will not be displaced." ”
Fang Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this, he didn't expect Fang Xiande to actually think with him.
I only heard Fang Xiande say solemnly: "Everyone thinks that the king of a country is in charge of the affairs of the world, and whether the earth is peaceful or war, it will all change because of the king's words." However, only you and I know that the division of the world is controlled by the immortal gate. Although the laws of the Immortal Sect do not allow the Immortal Gate to "interfere" in the affairs of the mortal world, in fact, every move of the Immortal Gate is affecting the changes in the state of the mortal world. I will go to the mortal world every other year to learn about the political affairs of the mortal world, and if there is an evil way to do 'chaos', I will definitely kill them, so that they will not affect my great Chu national fortune. However, each country has its own destiny, and internal and external troubles are inevitable, and I can only do my part. ”
Fang Ling said with a look of reverence: "Uncle Huang gave up the road to immortality for the common people in the world, it is really a great merit. ”
Fang Xiande smiled slightly: "This is just a small vision, a small merit, and it is exactly what people with mediocre qualifications can do." Speaking of this, he said happily, "Nephew, you don't know, although our royal family has only produced one Xianmen disciple in three generations, but there are a few more people in the last two generations, including me, you and two other imperial uncles are also in this sect, serving as the steward of the two rooms, I will call them over later, and I know you, our royal family has produced a young man with outstanding qualifications like you, they must be very happy." ”
There were two more steward-level relatives, Fang Ling was of course pleased, but before he could speak, Fang Xiande said earnestly: "Nephew, your qualifications are far above the three of us, no, it can even be said that you are not inferior to the true disciples, and in time, you will definitely be able to ascend to the Tao and make your ancestors glorious." So, if there's anything you need our help with, just ask. ”
Fang Ling almost immediately recalled what happened in the cloud clothes room that night, but he immediately suppressed the thought that had just arisen, it was not that he didn't believe in Fang Xiande, but before he 'touched' the details of his opponent, he didn't want to let the imperial uncle be in danger, after all, it was not easy for him to stand in this position, and it was not wise for him to rush into danger.
Dispelling this thought, Fang Ling had another flash of inspiration in his mind, and said, "As an imperial uncle, you should be able to find out the information of the beginner disciple, right?"
Fang Xiande nodded and said, "Nephew, who do you want to know?"
Fang Lingzheng said: "It is a woman who once worshiped the immortal gate in the last generation of the Great Song Kingdom three hundred years ago, this person seems to be the daughter of the founding emperor of the Great Chu, and it is also our ancestor, I have seen some of her records in the history books, and I admire her very much, if I can find her life deeds, I may be able to understand." ”
Fang Xiande didn't suspect anything, and said with a smile: "This matter is easy to do, when the alchemy conference is over, I will go to the cloud clothes room to find it for you." ”
Fang Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Fang Xiande ask, "By the way, nephew, you also want to participate in the alchemy conference, right?"
Fang Ling nodded, Fang Xiande thought for a moment and said: "Now there are still a few days before the Alchemy Conference, you live here, there are tens of millions of Dan books in the library of the alchemy room, including the world's alchemy techniques, although many of them are not necessarily written in detail, and you can't finish reading them, but you can stay in it for a day, and you can also benefit a lot." ”
Then, Fang Xiande sent someone to call the other two imperial uncles, Fang Hancheng and Fang Da, and the two of them were really full of praise after seeing Fang Ling, and they were extremely proud of his qualifications.
That night, Fang Xiande gave Fang Ling a jade plaque that could be unimpeded within the alchemy room and brought him into the library.
Located in the underground of the alchemy room, the library is the size of an imperial palace, and tens of millions of books are presented in the form of jade pieces, some are only a finger long and wide, as thin as cicada wings, and some are as big as bricks.
Of course, not everyone can enter the library of the alchemy room, only those who work in the alchemy room have the opportunity to read, and there are a lot of secrets hidden in the library, according to different levels, the library is also divided into three layers, and the innermost one can only be entered by people above the level of steward.
In order to help Fang Ling, Fang Xiande obviously also opened the back door, and the three-layer Danku could be entered at will, and after Fang Ling began to read the alchemy, a magnificent picture began to unfold in his mind.
