"Fellow Daoist Guangyuan, I know that Guangyuan Island has a lot of misunderstandings about the imperial court, but the matter of fighting against the Great Abyss Demon Cultivator is the consensus of all the monks of Daqian."

Ji Mingchang arched his hand towards Guang Yuanzi, "After all, under the nest, how can there be eggs?" ”

This sentence made Guang Yuanzi's expression move slightly.

Seeing that Guangyuanzi's attitude was no longer so tough, Ji Mingchang continued to persuade: "The imperial court raised military funds this time in order to expand the Shenben army to resist the invasion of Dayuan.

The result of Dayuan's invasion of Lizhou before, Daoyou also saw it, and it is difficult to describe it with a sentence.

If we have a large army that can garrison the border and resist the monks of the Great Abyss, why would we let nearly half of the territory of Lizhou fall into the hands of the Great Abyss? ”

Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi said indifferently: "I'm just a casual cultivator, and the territory I occupy is no more than this small immortal island at my feet, and if the big abyss can't break through the big dry, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Guang Yuanzi's meaning is very straightforward.

Even if the big cadre is broken, he will just leave.

"Guangyuan Daoyou, if Daqian can't stop the abyss, where can Daoyou flee to? Endless seas? Or is it the smallest country outside the Great Dry and the Great Abyss? ”

Ji Mingchang looked at him, "Fellow Daoists, don't forget, the Lord of the Holy Land is about to sit down, how long can he shelter the endless sea from the wind and rain?"

Besides, the Endless Sea is adjacent to the demon beast forces, and the cultivation environment is much harsher than that of the inland.

I remember that Guangyuan Daoist returned from the Endless Sea, and what the cultivation conditions of the Endless Sea are, Daoist friends should know much better than me.

As for the smallest countries that are outside the Great Cadre and the Great Abyss, as soon as the Great Abyss Peak arrives, it will turn into ashes in an instant. ”

I have to say that Ji Mingchang's ability to persuade people is very set.

Even Guang Yuanzi had to admit that in the face of the aggressive Dayuan, only by uniting as one could the Dayuan troops be blocked.

Seeing that Guang Yuanzi was silent, Ji Mingchang hit the railway while it was hot: "The imperial court collects military expenses, mainly against the sect forces of Daqian, and it will never involve loose cultivation like Daoyou." ”

For this sentence, Guang Yuanzi simply scoffed.

Now in order to confront the seven major sects, the Great Qian Imperial Court naturally does not collect his taxes.

When the Great Qian Imperial Court will settle the major sects in the future, it will be the time to raise the butcher's knife to the whole world.

Unless it is the kind of casual cultivation that has no fixed residence, as long as it is a casual cultivation that cultivates steadily in a certain place, it will not be able to escape the fate of being levied immortal tax.

Even in the end, not only did they have to collect immortal taxes, but they also had to serve as mortals.

After all, compared with mortals, monks with great power are far more efficient than mortals, whether it is opening roads in mountains or wading through rivers to build bridges.

It is impossible to say that the imperial court is not moved by this kind of inherently strong labor force and productive forces.

Actually, from the perspective of the state.

The collection of immortal taxes and the drive of monks to serve in conscription can quickly increase the national strength of the great cadres.

If this step can really be achieved, not to mention that Dayuan invades Daqian, even if Daqian counterattacks Dayuan, Guang Yuanzi will not be surprised at all.

But to get to this point, it's too hard, too hard!

Not to mention Daqian, even the Twin Holy Sect that single-handedly covered the sky in Dayuan, could not collect immortal taxes from the monks of Dayuan.

No way.

The monk has great power in his hands, and when faced with exploitation, he will inevitably rebel.

Even if the Holy Soul Sect Leader had the strength of the Transformation Stage, it would be difficult to suppress the resistance of countless cultivators in the Great Abyss.

Nowadays, although the Daqian Imperial Court secretly implements the immortal tax system, what is written on the golden documents on the surface is only to raise military funds from the various sects of the Daqian to resist the invasion of the Great Abyss.

As for the public collection of immortal taxes, the Daqian court did not dare!

Seeing that Guangyuanzi was still silent, Ji Mingchang threw out the last killer blow and said, "Guangyuan Daoist friends don't have to worry about offending the major sects if they stand on our side.

In fact, there are already sects that have agreed to the imperial court to collect military expenses. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi was suddenly shocked, and blurted out and asked, "I don't know which sect it is?" ”

"Lingbao Mountain!"

It's actually Lingbao Mountain.

Guang Yuanzi was in a trance for a while, but he was relieved in an instant.

Indeed, compared to other sects in Daqian, Lingbaoshan faced the forefront of the Dayuan army, and they agreed to the imperial court to collect military expenses and expand the Shenben army to resist the Dayuan, but they were also forced to helpless.

Thinking of this, Guang Yuanzi nodded: "Okay, I am willing to go to Liangzhou, but this seat does not guarantee that it will be on your side." ”

Hear this.

Ji Mingchang said with a smile: "Guangyuan Daoyou, don't worry, we won't let you bear such a lot of pressure alone." ”

After the two reached a verbal agreement, Guang Yuanzi personally sent Ji Mingchang out of Guangyuan Island.

Standing high in the sky of Guangyuan Island, Guangyuanzi pondered for a moment, and immediately turned into a ray of light and flew back to the main hall of Lingxiao Palace.

Inside the main hall.

Mu Qingyan was still ordering the maid to clean up the banquet between him and Wang Xuanjian.

Seeing Guang Yuanzi coming back, Mu Qingyan immediately saluted him and said, "Childe." ”

"I'm going to Liangzhou."

Mu Qingyan looked slightly stunned, and then said: "Don't worry, the concubine will take care of Guangyuan Island for the son." ”

Hear the words.

Guangyuanzi shook his head: "As long as I am here, there is no need to worry about the safety of Guangyuan Island, and besides, this island is under the care of your master, and ordinary people dare not come here to spread wild."

I'm going to take you with me to Liangzhou. ”

"Let the concubine go to Liangzhou?"

Mu Qingyanqiao's face showed incomprehension.

"Danmeng!"

Guang Yuanzi slowly spit out two words, Mu Qingyan reacted immediately, nodded and said, "The concubine understands!" ”

......

Xianxia Peak is high in the sky.

A flying boat travels at high speed through the clouds, and its direction is Liangzhou.

On the deck of the flying boat.

A uniformly dressed Xianxia Sect disciple stood on both sides of the deck, with a dignified momentum.

Inside the cabin of the flying boat.

An old man with white hair sat cross-legged with the young monk.

In front of the two, there is a chessboard.

"Stinky chess basket, no more."

Ram Xun threw the sunspot in his hand into the chess box and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Su Ming, who was on the opposite side, showed a look of ridicule on his face, and then put the white chess pieces back into the chess box.

"Su Ming, do you know why I took you to Liangzhou?"

Hearing this, Su Ming pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know! ”

"If you are only a true disciple of the Xianxia Sect, you can cultivate under the protection of the sect with peace of mind, and you don't need to know the situation in this world.

But as the head of the Yaoyuan Dao Academy, the actual guardian of the Xianxia Sect in the Yaoyuan Water Realm, you must understand the situation in this world, especially in Daqian! ”

When Ram Xun said this, he paused, "You should know how many sects there are in Daqian, right?" ”

"I know, there are seven Great Qian Sects, namely Lingbao Mountain, Luan Yin Sect, Tianjian Mountain, Jade Fu Gate, Wuji Palace, Xuantian Pavilion and my Xianxia Sect."

Hearing this, Ram Xun nodded first, then shook his head again, and said: "This is just the seven largest sects of Daqian, how much do you know about the small sects and immortal cultivation families that are attached to these seven sects?" ”

"This ......"

Su Ming shook his head, he really didn't know.

Not to mention the small sects and immortal cultivation families that are attached to the seven major sects.

Even if there are many immortal cultivation families in the Yaoyuan Water Realm, Su Ming may not be able to figure it out.

And the Yaoyuan Water Realm is only one of the eight major boundaries of the Three Mountains and Five Realms of Lanzhou.

As for the small sects and immortal cultivation families outside Lanzhou, where did Su Ming know.

Ram Xun smiled and said: "So, this is the meaning of your trip to Liangzhou with me, as the head of the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy, you need to see a broader world."

After all, this Xianxia Sect will eventually be handed over to Wen Ming and you. ”

Ram Xun's words were already very leaky, and he made no secret of his idea of cultivating Su Ming to inherit the position of the head of the Taoist Academy.

"In addition to the seven major sects you mentioned, there are also two forces that can compete with the seven major sects, namely the Ji family in Liangzhou and the blood alliance in Danzhou.

"Danzhou, Danzhou, where the headquarters of the Danmeng is located?"

"That's right, it's just that the Dan League is not a member of the Blood Alliance."

Ram Xun went on to explain, "The Blood Alliance is an alliance of interests formed by the union of eighteen sects, and they jointly occupy the boundary of Danzhou.

This is also a force that is comparable to the seven major sects of the Great Qian. ”

"Just this big Qian, there are nine forces, such as Lingbao Mountain, Luan Yin Sect, Tianjian Mountain, Jade Fu Gate, Wuji Palace, Xuantian Pavilion, Xianxia Sect, Blood Alliance, and Ji Family."

Ram Xun said with a stunned expression, "Although my Xianxia Sect has always been known as the first sect of Daqian, who can say for sure whether it is the first force or not?" ”

Su Ming faintly caught something from Ram Xun's words, and asked tentatively, "What does the courtyard master mean is that the Ji family is very strong?" ”

】

"The strength of the Ji family is not strong on the surface, but the hidden power of the Ji family is unfathomable!"

Ram Xun said with a deep look in his eyes, "There is only one great cultivator in the late Yuan Infant stage who has just gotten a glimpse of the law on the face of the Ji family, but no one knows how strong the hidden power of the Ji family is!" ”

"Why is that?"

Su Ming frowned, very puzzled.

"The Ji family has a secret technique, called the Xuan Ice Sealing Coffin Technique, this secret technique can freeze the monks who are about to sit down, so as to delay the time of their sitting, and at the critical moment, the Ji family can wake up these frozen old monsters.

Although the frozen monks cannot move and can only be sealed in a special coffin, and after these people are awakened, they will quickly sit down, but this does not prevent the Ji family from bursting out with terrifying power in a short period of time.

After so many years of accumulation, how strong do you say the hidden strength of the Ji family is? ”

Hearing this, Su Ming suddenly gasped.

There is still this kind of magical secret technique in the middle of the world, which can freeze the person who is about to sit down, and then wake up at a critical moment.

Thinking of this, Su Ming couldn't help but say: "The high-level monks of other sects are constantly sitting, but the Ji family can freeze these high-level monks, as time goes by, the Ji family's heritage will only get stronger and stronger, no wonder they want to collect immortal taxes."

Ram Xun shook his head and said: "The Ji family collects the immortal tax, not just because of this, but once they collect the immortal tax, they can quickly grow their strength." ”

Seeing Su Ming's puzzled expression, Ram Xun continued to explain: "The Ji family has been implementing the method of physical cultivation in Liangzhou for nearly a hundred years. ”

"Practicing the method of physical cultivation?"

"Hmm,"

Ram Xun nodded and said, "Unlike having a spiritual root to refine spiritual energy and embark on a cultivation path, the biggest advantage of the physical cultivation method compared to the Jindan Avenue is that there is no need for a spiritual root!" ”

Su Ming, who is also cultivating the body refining method, knows very well that what Ram Xun said is not wrong at all.

Whether it was the "Angry Sea Giant Whale Gong" that he had cultivated, or the "Star Condensation Sutra" that he was cultivating now, all of them could be cultivated without spiritual roots.

The only requirement for cultivating the physical cultivation method is that the physical strength must meet the standard.

For example, if Su Ming hadn't practiced the "Angry Sea Giant Whale Skill" before and cultivated it to the third layer, and then his physical body underwent the strengthening of the foundation building and the essence of the Yuan Infant, he would not have reached the threshold of cultivating the "Star Condensation Sutra" at all.

But compared to Jindan Dao, there is a huge drawback to the body refining method, that is, Shouyuan!

No matter how strong the body is, if the soul is weak, even if it has the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, it will eventually die due to the exhaustion of the soul longevity.

In addition, there is another huge disadvantage of the body refining cultivator, that is, the consumption of resources is very terrifying.

Whether it is Daqian or Dayuan.

There are many more mortals than monks.

The Ji family's practice of practicing the body means that mortals can also embark on the path of cultivation.

Despite the disadvantages of a single refining body, it can benefit all mortals, and this advantage alone can already cover up all the disadvantages on its body.

But at the same time, the pressure on resources on the Ji family's implementation of the body refining method is also unprecedentedly huge.

Because of this, in the past hundred years, the Ji family has openly and secretly wanted to implement the immortal tax system in Daqian many times, and collect immortal tax from the heads of the Daqian sect.

Seeing that Su Ming didn't speak, Ram Xun smiled and said: "The situation of Daqian, this trip to Liangzhou, you can take your own time, and the old man will talk to you about the perception of cultivating the "Star Condensation Sutra". ”

Hearing this, Su Ming immediately sat up.

Compared with the situation of Daqian, solving the confusion in the cultivation of the "Star Condensation Sutra" is undoubtedly the most important purpose of Su Ming's trip.

"Please also ask the master for advice."

Su Ming said respectfully.

Ram Xun nodded: "In your opinion, what is aura?" What is the power of the stars mentioned in the "Star Condensation Sutra"? ”

Hearing this question, Su Ming was stunned!

Oh, yes!

Cultivating to this day, whether it is the original true qi in the dantian, or the true yuan and mana in the future, it is all obtained from refining spiritual qi.

But what is Reiki?

As for the "Star Condensation Sutra" mentioned in the "Star Condensation Sutra" to attract the power of the stars into the body, condensing miniature stars in the acupoints, what does the power of the stars refer to?

One question after another lingered in Su Ming's heart, making him puzzled.

"Su Ming, you see."

Opposite, Ram Xun raised his hand.

Under the observation of the divine sense, I saw that in the palm of the ram Xun, a yellow ball of light condensed.

Su Ming was very sure that this yellow light cluster was not an aura.

"This is the power of the stars of the Five Directions,"

Ram Xun explained, "Look at it again. ”

As he spoke, the yellow light cluster in the palm of Ram Xun's palm slowly transformed into a yellow aura.

Seeing this familiar yellow aura, Su Ming suddenly became clever.

For this yellow aura, he who has an earth-attribute spiritual root is too clear, it is the earth-attribute aura!

After this aura enters the human body, it will be refined and absorbed by the spiritual root, converted into true yuan, and finally stored in the dantian.

"The power of the stars comes from the stars themselves.

And aura is just a kind of power derived from the power of the stars, and the same as the aura, there are also the powers of the sun spirit and the moon, which are all derived from the power of the stars.

But the amazing thing is that although these powers are all derived from the power of the stars, after derivation, the newly born aura, sun essence, and moon blossom all have different roles and attributes.

For example, the aura can help the monk set foot on the Jindan Avenue, but Yuehua is an indispensable force for the cultivation of demon beasts. ”

Ram Xun paused, "Now, you know what the power of the stars in the Star Condensation Sutra refers to, right?" ”

"The disciple is stupid, and he still doesn't quite understand."

"You're a true man,"

Ram Xun suddenly stroked his beard and laughed, "Actually, the old man doesn't understand what the power of the stars is in essence, but it is certain that it is the source of aura. ”

The source of Reiki...... Derived from the stars.

Gradually, Su Ming's understanding of the power of the stars deepened.

"Now, the old man will tell you a little bit of experience in refining the power of the stars in the Five Realms, and you should listen carefully."

Hearing this, Su Ming's expression was unprecedentedly concentrated.

For a long time, the power of the stars condensed in Su Ming's acupoint was all condensed by itself by virtue of the powerful body strengthened by the essence of the Yuan Infant and the operation of the "Star Condensation Sutra".

As for taking the initiative to refine the power of the stars of the Five Directions Realm, Su Ming has never been able to figure out the trick.

Now Ram Xun explains the experience of refining the power of the stars, for him, it is undoubtedly a long drought and nectar, and he can't ask for it.

Time passed little by little in Ram Xun's sermon.

Gradually, Su Ming also had some experience and experience on how to refine the power of the stars.

Inside the cabin.

Su Ming's hand condensed a smaller circle of yellow light.

"It worked!"

Su Ming's face was full of joy.

"That's right, the Divine Soul Realm is deep enough, and sure enough, no matter what you cultivate, you can get twice the result with half the effort!"

Ram Xun looked at the yellow light cluster in Su Ming's hand and said with emotion.
