Chapter Twenty-Eight: Diplomatic Treasures
Wang Lu did not give the other party time to think and choice.
The head of the Seven Stars is indeed a talent, but in the final analysis, he is just a rather unsatisfactory casual cultivator in the immortal cultivation world, and he is not qualified to let him look at the thatched house.
Therefore, in desperation, the head of the Seven Stars chose to give in, and with his Void Dan realm, he swore a great oath of demons, and from then on he was willing to be a lackey for Wang Lu's saddle.
Since then, the title of the head of the Seven Stars has become history, and it has been replaced by the deputy director of the Intelligent Taxation Bureau named Ye Chuchen.
Except for the title of the head of the house, Ye Qingchen is a middle-aged man who looks forty or fifty years old, as ordinary as Qingchen, after being appointed as the deputy director of Zhijiao, Ye Qingchen just smiled bitterly, knowing that he had no choice.
The first task assigned by Wang Lu for Ye Chuchen was to win over his former subordinates, Ye Chuchen turned around and left with a wry smile, while experiencing the firm imprisonment of the Yuan Shen by the heart demon oath, he was also thinking about how to open this mouth when he met his old subordinates later.
Seeing Ye Chuchen soar away, Wang Lu stood in the woods for a while and sighed: "Pretending to be realistic is really a manual job." ”
"Cut, who forced you to pretend?"
Little Bell's voice rang right behind him without warning.
For a monk who is accustomed to perceiving the changes in aura with the primordial spirit, this girl is always so elusive - it is also with this that she can easily knock down Ye Chuchen, a dignified Void Pill monk.
"Alas, just now I saw you pointing at the country with a calm face like a dragon, impassioned, it's really uncomfortable."
Wang Lu smiled: "I'm not used to it, I should have a pregnancy reaction if I continue to talk about it...... But this is the actor's self-cultivation, if you want to make a character like Ye Chuchen surrender convincingly, you can't do it without some acting skills. ”
Xiao Ling'er snorted: "It's honest to beat it twice." ”
However, the girl obviously didn't take this seriously, she was stunned for a while, looked at the smoke rising from Wangjia Village, and couldn't help but sigh: "You really played a lot this time, I guess no elder of the sect expected that you would complete the experience like this." ”
Wang Lu sneered: "So this is the gap between professional adventurers and mortals. It's rare to go down the mountain, spin around like a headless fly, and then sit back and wait for the so-called opportunity to hit your head, and then get the so-called growth from the consternation and mistakes again and again, don't you think it's really stupid? ”
Xiao Ling'er turned her head to look at Wang Lu, and the young man had a cynical smile on his face, but he didn't hate it.
From the first time they met, Wang Lu was always a person full of self-confidence, some people thought that this person was arrogant and unbearable, but Xiao Ling'er found it very interesting.
As long as you follow Wang Lu, there will always be all kinds of unexpected and interesting things, such as the crazy tens of millions of silver in Lingxi Town, and the unexpected performances at the Immortal Ascension Conference. The same is true for the experience of going down the mountain this time, when most of the Spirit Sword disciples are still honestly looking for opportunities according to the map provided by the master, Wang Lu has already begun to struggle for the sublimation of the whole world...... This is just
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling'er couldn't help it, and asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
"Hey, Wang Lu, I'll ask you a question."
"Sister Ling, please speak."
"This Zhijiao, are you going to play for real?"
Wang Lu pursed his lips: "Hundreds of spirit stones have been smashed down, do you think I'm playing really?" ”
“…… Then you can think clearly, this is not a game that can make you addicted, the training time of the mountain gate is only one year, you can't be the leader of this wisdom sect forever, unless you ......"
Wang Lu said: "One of the basic qualities of a professional adventurer is that there is no need for electric shocks when preventing addiction. I went down the mountain to experience just for the sake of training, so as not to waste my main business, in the final analysis, my interest is still to cultivate immortals, not to levy the IQ tax of fools. ”
"Really?" Xiao Ling'er will be suspicious, although Wang Lu said it beautifully, but during this time, his deep investment in Zhijiao is not like a joke, but since he said so......
"Speaking of which, there have been signs of a breakthrough in my phaseless mind method recently, I'm afraid that I will be promoted to the middle grade of Qi cultivation within two months, did I tell you about this?"
"Damn, so quickly advanced to the middle grade of Qi training?" Xiao Ling'er looked at Wang Lu in surprise, "It's quite inconsistent with your identity as a waste of cultivating immortals." ”
"Please, don't look down on the Ethereal Root so much...... Compared with Desheng Taizu, who is also an ethereal root, our progress has been slow to make people cry. Desheng Taizu went from mortal to true immortal in twenty years, and the entire Qi training period took less than a year. And this is the result of repeated stimulation recently-first using the physical body to establish the aura tide, and then using the practice of qi to fight the void pill, it is natural to break through and upgrade. However, there are some achievements left and right, and I can explain back to the mountain. ”
Xiao Ling'er rolled her eyes and keenly grasped the main point that Wang Lu said: "You don't plan to talk about Zhijiao?" ”
"Nonsense, what do you say? Let Old Man Fang know that it is sure that the sky and thunder will destroy the world...... Hmm, but with Sister Ling here, don't worry too much. ”
"Damn, don't expect to use me as a meat shield, I have always had a good relationship with Old Man Fang, if he really comes, the first thing I will do is to confess you to Lu, in fact, it's okay if you don't say it, if this kind of thing is said, the entire sect will be involved by you, although your theory is very capable of fooling people, but with the Qianyuan Burning Blood Skill, it is impossible for the Wanxian League to admit you."
Wang Lu just smiled at this and said nothing.
That's right, Qianyuan Blood Burning Gong is the death hole of Zhijiao, although what Fang said when he flickered Ye Qingchen was beautiful, what kind of blood, persistence, but it is not an upright exercise after all, even if there is more enthusiasm to burn, it is impossible to cultivate too many famous halls. In the final analysis, the Zhijiao is still in the stage of primitive accumulation, and there may be miracles on the path of immortals, but they do not belong to mortals.
But so what? Even Xiao Ling'er, who has always been free and easy, actually didn't really realize the essential attributes of the behemoth of the Ten Thousand Immortals League.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu shook his head, his thinking was really a little far, anyway, the current Zhijiao can't enter the eyes of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance at all, and when the scale is large enough in the future, let's solve the problem of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Ye Chuchen's defection made the remnants of the Seven Star Sect no longer have the will to resist, and the whole army was annihilated, and the more than ten elders who came with him to conquer the Zhijiao were all recruited by Wang Lu, and abandoned the darkness to become the disciples of the Zhijiao.
This is a huge amount of excessive human resources for the Zhijiao that has just started, but with Wang Lu as the sect leader in charge, there is no danger that there will be any chaos. After these monks of the Seven Star Gate joined, they were not broken up, but set up a department called the Seven Star Division, which was unified under the management of Ye Chuchen.
As for their work, it is neither to rob houses nor extort, but to digest the legacy of the Seven Star Gate as quickly as possible.
Before the original head Ye Chuchen surrendered, Qixingmen was also a number of cult organizations in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, and its power was quite huge, in addition to the host province where the base camp was located, it had its own territory in the five major prefectures of the Ming Kingdom.
A month later, most of these territories were acquired by Zhijiao, and they used this as a base to continuously radiate the influence of Zhijiao around. Another month passed, the number of believers in the Zhijiao had exceeded 100,000, and at the same time, at the same time, where the original department of the Seven Star Gate of the host mansion was located, Wang Lu personally took action, based on Ye Qingchen's broken ship, and established a new altar - mobile gale altar, the grade is only eight grades, but it is worthy of the name, it is a mobile altar, and it is an out-and-out best model among the eight grade altars. When the altar was built, I don't know how many original Qixingmen people burst into tears - once upon a time, having such an altar was still a dream that Qixingmen people did not dare to hope for
It is also because of this, the biggest unstable factor in Zhijiao has gradually been eliminated, although people still have a little nostalgia for the original Seven Star Gate, but in the past few months, Zhijiao has neither oppressed and exploited them, nor thrown them into the cold palace, on the contrary, it is safe and bold to throw a lot of key work to them to do, this attitude is really speechless.
At the same time, with the establishment of the mobile Gale Altar, the development of the Zhi Sect was further accelerated, and in Wang Lu's words, the sect entered the era of double mines. The two altars continue to provide resources, especially a certain chaotic altar under Wang Lu's operation, often more than eleven shocks, bursting out of the best spiritual objects, in terms of wealth alone, Zhijiao is even comparable to some of the Nine Rank Sects of the Ten Thousand Immortal League, which can be described as a vast land - of course, considering that Zhijiao has 100,000 followers, once it is counted per capita, it still cannot be on the stage, in Wang Lu's words, it is the primary stage of the sublimation of the world realm.
In this way, another month passed, and when Zhijiao was established for half a year, more than half of the territory of the Ming Kingdom was imprinted with traces of Zhijiao, and the number of believers was close to one million. As for the quasi-believers who are attracted to the Wisdom Sect, but have not yet had the opportunity to get started, there are countless quasi-believers. However, such a rapid expansion did not drag down the sect, but because of the increase in the number of believers, the sect's resources were accumulating faster and faster.
Back then, the Seven Star Gate occupied the city and became rich overnight, but the wealth accumulated in the city was just the result of the people picking it up and handing it in on weekdays. And once millions of people are mobilized in an orderly manner, the speed of accumulation of spirit stones will be jaw-dropping.
It is no wonder that the ancestors mentioned in the "Geographical Chronicles of Kyushu" that the spiritual stone resources of Kyushu, those formed veins account for less than one-third, and most of the rest are scattered all over Kyushu, but it is difficult to gather, and the mining cost is too high, so that it is often ignored. However, now it seems that the geography master also underestimated the reserves of spirit stones in Kyushu, and at the summary meeting of the establishment of the Zhi Sect for half a year, the sect leader Wang Lu got the latest statistical report, and the sect collected more than 5,000 spirit stones in a single day......
Although he knew that the crazy speed of the Dao was based on unsustainable mining and could not last, Wang Lu still sighed when he got the report, and now the scope of the power of this Zhijiao is only staying in the Ming Dynasty, and it has such a wealth production capacity, which is not inferior to his initial most optimistic expectations. If this continues, it will not take long to get through the stage of primitive accumulation. Next, as long as this amazing wealth is used correctly, Zhijiao will have a qualitative leap.
Of course, during the Wisdom Sect Leap, it was natural that there would inevitably be disputes with other sects, but Wang Lu was very cautious to avoid all the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance sects, and at the same time, there were elders such as Ye Qingchen and Xie Zhi who constantly came forward for public relations, so they didn't receive too much pressure from the top. As for those sects that do not enter the stream, those that can be won over will be co-opted, and those that cannot be co-opted will be destroyed at will. With a thug in the realm of Void Dan like Ye Qingchen, and a saintess who can kill Void Pill in seconds with a single punch, Zhijiao really has never been afraid of anyone in terms of force.
However, Zhijiao, which has developed so rapidly, finally encountered a bottleneck in the eighth month of its establishment.
The imperial court of the Great Ming Kingdom has noticed the existence of Zhijiao.
In fact, from the perspective of Zhijiao, the reaction of the Great Ming Kingdom is really a little slow, although in the past eight months, the Zhijiao has always restrained its own development direction, neither to challenge the authority of the government, nor to cause large-scale mass incidents - in fact, because of the existence of the Zhijiao, the security of the Ming Kingdom has been greatly improved.
But in any case, when a sect has been able to influence the lives of tens of millions of people in the country, the imperial court finally realizes its existence, and the reaction is really rigid and slow.
However, since the other party had noticed him, he could not say nothing, and Wang Lu soon sent a diplomatic envoy to the capital of the Ming Kingdom to make contact with the ruler of this country.
"Then, the diplomatic responsibility between our Intellectual Taxation Bureau and Daming Kingdom will be handed over to you."
"Wang ...... Oh no, it's a bit hard for me. "The temporary diplomatic envoy desperately complained.
"Well, it will be difficult to appoint you, the head of the infrastructure department, as a diplomatic envoy, but I am sure you will be able to overcome it. Okay, without further ado, brave boy, hurry up and create miracles. ”
Then the bureau lord kicked the new diplomatic envoy out of the country and let him embark on a long journey.
Wen Bao, who embarked on a long journey, only felt that he had been cheated again.
