Chapter Ninety-Five: Jinshan Sect

After giving Lin Qixian a dream, Liu Qing didn't leave immediately, but stayed here for a few days to observe how they carried it out.

The observation results are quite satisfying.

That temple was officially named the Temple of Eternal Life, and the god enshrined was naturally the Immortal Emperor.

The statue of the god has not yet been carved, and even the construction has not been completed, and the royal family has gone there every day to worship incense.

The royal family of the Immortal Kingdom also issued an order to be transmitted to every village and household in the basin, asking them to recite the "Earth Sensing Sutra" every day, saying that this would eliminate disasters and pray for blessings to the Immortal Kingdom.

Dozens of cultivators on the island were also dispatched, responsible for transmitting such an order to every village in the Immortal Kingdom.

Where people live, they have to build a temple to worship the Immortal Emperor, and they have to go to the incense and kneel every morning, noon and evening.

The temple doesn't need to be built very well, anyway, if you want to build such a temple, you can put the statue of the god and the incense burner.

There are no idols or incense sticks at the moment, but that doesn't matter, you can buy them.

Lin Qixian got Liu Qing's guidance, went to the two neighboring countries of Daqian and Ningguo to sweep the goods, and bought all the incense sticks he saw.

I also bought it in the shop, bought it in the workshop, and placed large orders for some large incense workshops.

The Liu family's workshops have received large orders, forcing them to expand the scale of their workshops.

At the same time, Changshengguo also began to engage in incense stick workshops.

In the Temple of Immortality, the statue of the Immortal Emperor was also brought out, it was a statue of a god ten meters high, not of wood or stone, with steel on the inside and gilt on the outside.

The statue was cast in the image of the Immortal Emperor that Lin Qixian saw in his dream, and Lin Qixian personally did it.

Liu Qing also took this opportunity to learn about the cultivator's powerful smelting technique.

Just such a statue of a god made of steel, the inside is also solid, and it is still very high-quality steel, and the weight is not more than one or two million catties.

According to what Liu Qing learned, the entire Daqian country produces only more than 10 million catties of iron a year, while the output of steel is even lower, only 200,000 catties a year.

And Ye Qixian went to the mine to refine such a statue of a god in a big furnace, and it took less than a day.

He also understood why the northern barbarians in the mountains would cause so much harm to Daqian, and those cultivators didn't need to take action, they just needed to do logistics work.

For such productivity, he is still quite greedy.

In the past few days, he also used the Dream Technique to enter the dreams of several cultivators, creating a different environment, and extracting some things about the Immortal Kingdom and the cultivators here from the mouths of those cultivators.

The Immortal State is only a hundred years old.

Before the founding of the country, there were only some ordinary people who lived here who were forced by the harsh government of the Great Qianguo and the Ningguo State and fled to the mountains.

Da Qian and Ning Guo both called them barbarians, but in fact this is not the case, they are all of the same culture, the same species, the same nation, but they are forced to become mountain people.

They are scattered all over the mountains, the mountain roads are rugged, it is not easy to travel, and they have to face the threat of wild beasts in the mountains, they generally do not go out, they have no contact with the outside world, and they do not have the ability to build a country.

Life in the mountains is hard, and the population has never been able to reach the threat of wild beasts.

This large basin was inhabited here more than a thousand years ago, but there were not as many people as it is now, and a hundred years ago, there were probably only a few thousand people living here.

The Lin family, known as the royal family of the Immortal Kingdom, only came here a hundred years ago.

They used to be in a Xiuzhen sect called Jinshan Sect, and there were many cultivators in the family, and in this sect, they were also a relatively arrogant Xiuzhen family.

However, a hundred years ago, the pillar of their family, that is, Lin Qixian's old ancestor Lin Youmeng, suddenly fell unconscious, and tried all the ways to wake her up, losing the position of the sect's refining elder, and the family's momentum plummeted.

Without her protection, the people who had been bullied by them before also began to bully them, and soon they could not survive in the sect and could only leave the sect.

Then I found such a place, isolated from the world, and the scenery was good, so I stayed here.

They can't get along in the sect, but in the face of the mortals here, they are still high.

There are also some people in the family who can't cultivate the truth, and in order to give them a better way out and let them enjoy the glory and wealth, they moved the idea of building a country.

That's how the Immortal Kingdom came out.

The word immortality is the greatest pursuit of a cultivator.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the population was only a few thousand, and the territory was such a basin.

But in a hundred years, relying on the unique abilities of cultivators, helping them expel wild beasts, helping them smelt steel to obtain better agricultural tools and weapons, and helping them treat diseases, slowly their living conditions became better, and the population began to increase.

The wall enclosed on the edge of this basin was built by them, for no other reason, to prevent wild beasts from appearing, so that the people here can have a safe living environment.

It also connected the villages naturally formed by the people who hid in the mountains outside the basin one by one, so as to extend the territory of the Immortal Kingdom.

After the population grew to a certain point, it felt that the resources in the mountains could no longer meet the living needs of so many people, so they thought about expanding.

There was the war that followed.

They didn't just do it to Daqian, they also did it to Ning Guo.

It's just that the Jinshan Sect has a rule that the children of the sect can't participate in secular wars.

Nor can they appear directly on the battlefield.

At most, it is to use the ability of the cultivators to build a road and build a bridge or something, so that their warriors can go out of the mountain.

The Jinshan Sect is in this Tibetan Gold Mountain Range, but not in this place at the junction of the Great Qianguo and the Ningguo, but in the deep mountains thousands of miles to the east.

For most ordinary people, it's a distance that can't be crossed in a lifetime.

But for cultivators, it doesn't even take a day to get there.

They are tantamount to being under the nose of the Jinshan Sect.

At such a close distance, they didn't dare to violate the precepts of the Jinshan Sect, and they couldn't use the ability of a cultivator to participate in the war.

That said, they have their advantages.

The weapons are excellent, and the individual soldiers are of higher quality.

But there are also their disadvantages.

The population is not enough.

If the front is too long, it will not be able to fight.

Every time a war is waged, it is a victory in the early stage, and then the advantage is exhausted, and it can only be retreated.

For them, of course, there is an advantage to starting a war, that is, they can plunder some of the necessities of life.

But it will also lead to a decrease in their young and middle-aged population.

If you don't start a war, you won't be able to feed so many people in the mountains, and if you don't expand, you will be able to consume yourself to death.

It's better to wear the enemy to death.

Over the years, wars have been waged, and none of them have won a final victory, and the number of young adults has decreased by millions.

In the end, it was decided not to start a war for the time being, and to recuperate for a while.

There aren't so many young adults going to war, and that's one reason.

Another reason is that in the past two decades, millions of young adults have been reduced, and their population pressure has been greatly reduced, and they can survive for a while.

That's why they didn't go to war in the past two years, but negotiated peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.
