Chapter 55: Things Went Wrong
Taiyi sect has been established for 100,000 years, monopolizing a big star in the starry sky, named Taiyi, with more than 300,000 outer disciples, nearly 300 million servants and attendants, 30,000 inner disciples, 2,000 elite disciples, hundreds of secret disciples, and only 20 or 30 true disciples. The rest of the hall masters, deputy hall masters, and supervisors in charge of various departments, as well as all kinds of craftsmen, Dan masters, talisman masters, array mages, and hermit elders hired and trained by the sect are not among them, and there are countless disciples of all kinds who have traveled abroad, and many of them have never returned after leaving Taiyi Star.
Taiyi Gate is not long, because many famous mountains and rivers have existed for more than 100,000 years, not to mention the many resource planets under the gate, which have existed in the starry sky for hundreds of millions of years.
The inner door, the inner door, the elite, the secret tradition, and the true transmission of the Taiyi Gate are all dependent on cultivation to speak, to cultivate, and to qualify. Countless people have limited qualifications, and they have practiced hard for a hundred years, and in the end, the immortal road is cut off, and it is just a realm of knotting, which is considered an inner disciple in the Taiyi Sect.
Qi refining, foundation building, knotting, Yuanying, transforming gods, refining void, merging, Mahayana, crossing tribulations, and cultivating the nine realms roughly correspond to the inner disciples (Jiedan), elite disciples (Yuanying), secret disciples (transforming gods), and true disciples (refining void and above) in the Taiyi Sect.
The so-called true person is a person who has insight into the universe or the origin of the human body, awakens and realizes his own way.
Therefore, in the realm of refining the void, they can all be called real people, because they understand their own path, and the Dao and Dharma supernatural powers can already be in line with heaven and earth. And the Transformation Divine Realm is just to summarize one's Dao and Divine Powers, condense them into one, and use them for their own use, and they can't freely manipulate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Whether this path is right or not, and how to go, the practitioner has not yet clarified the direction, so he cannot be worthy of being called a real person.
Above the real person, there is an immortal, and the real person to the immortal is the process of turning the mortal body into an immortal body and ascending to the upper realm along his own avenue.
For 100,000 years, there are dozens or hundreds of ancestors who have ascended to the upper realm of Taiyi Gate, and there must be one every thousand years, although this is still a lot for the Horned Jupiter Domain, but for the fairy world, it is a drop in the ocean, and more cultivators have spent thousands of years, and finally died of old age in their own small world.
There are also disciples who are unwilling to die silently in the end, so they have to leave Taiyi Star and scatter to the major resource planets ruled by it to open up various dynasties, and use the last few hundred years of their lives to open up a period of glory, leaving their bloodline, looking forward to the day when their descendants can return to Taiyi Gate and restore their glory.
Therefore, each planet will take the points of the immortal sect so seriously, only if there are immortal disciples on the planet, can they be blessed, otherwise these frustrated immortal cultivators will change these planets without the protection of the sect, trying to return to the control of the sect. Lu Xihua, as the prince of the barren wasteland Shui Lanxing, was able to save his life thanks to this custom.
The history of Taiyimen is not short, 100,000 years, so that this behemoth has been deep-rooted, too bloated, and many places are backwater, running step by step.
Only when you enter the stage of knotting can you be regarded as an inner disciple in the Taiyi Sect, of course, you can't be too old, if you are too old, there is no hope for further progress. Because of the step-by-step cultivation in the door, there can be a distribution of resources, and only qualified people can use these limited resources to advance to their own realm.
If people with other qualifications want to obtain more resources, have adventures and breakthroughs, they can only go out, get out of Taiyi Star, and even need to leave the scope of Taiyi Gate, go outside by themselves, explore all kinds of ruins, seek immortal fate, and obtain rare treasures, so as to make themselves achieve immortal paths.
This is not an easy road to take, leaving Taiyi Star, there is no supply of resources, everything has to rely on oneself to fight, to grab by oneself, this is a bloody road, and it has also achieved the indifference and ruthlessness of the disciples of the Xianmen.
Lu Xihua closed the book and sighed. Resources, resources, everything is a resource.
Taiyi Gate has been 100,000 years old, hundreds of immortals have been achieved, and countless disciples have been made, and now this behemoth has consumed countless resources, so that the rationed pills, magic weapons, and all kinds of treasures are standard systems, and the roads are colorful, and the cultivation path is nine realms, and for each ascending realm, the resources required to consume are dozens or even hundreds of times that of the previous realm.
It is no wonder that the hegemony of the Aether Gate in the Horned Jupiter Domain can still only be supplied to the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Sect with ordinary pills, because more resources are tilted to the upper levels, and those elders and disciples who are cultivating in their respective small worlds are the real resource consumers.
120 million pills of the Qing Ming Pill can be used for 500,000 outer disciples for a hundred years, but it is only for ten years, think about those old antiques who have practiced in the sect for hundreds or even thousands of years, the resources they spend are really astronomical.
Of course, it can't be counted like this, the strength of a sect is to look at the number of high-end combat power and the huge middle-level reserve force, the Taiyi Sect 30,000 Jiedan monks, 2,000 yuan infant monks This is a terrifying combat power, no wonder he firmly occupies the first position in the Dao Gate, and the other sects together do not dare to challenge his position in the Horn Jupiter Domain.
"If I were in charge, I would also worry about resources every day~" Thinking of this, Lu Xihua couldn't help but mourn for his master.
The monks in the Taiyi Sect have different pills to eat in each realm.
The Hui Qi Pill, the Pulp Cleansing Pill, the Bone Strengthening Pill, and the Blood Coagulation Pill that are eaten during the Qi refining period.
Yellow bud pill, Qingling pill, white jade pill, and soul nourishing pill eaten during the foundation building period.
The Guiling Pill, Hui Fa Dan, Five Elements Dan, and Yunshen Pill eaten during the Dan period.
Yuhua Baidan, Ziyang Dan, Hualong Dan, and Baizhuan Dan eaten in infancy.
The Qingming Pill, Huangquan Pill, Nine Return Pill, and Cleansing Pill eaten during the transformation period.
The longevity pill, life pill, white dragon pill, and thunder pill that are eaten during the refining period.
Jiuyang Dan, Nirvana Dan, Tianxue Dan, and Yulian Dan that are eaten during the combined period.
The Mahayana period is eaten in the Po Erdan, the Water and Fire Pill, and the Hun Tian Dan.
Tenglong Dan, Qibao Dan, and Yin Yang Dan eaten during the Tribulation Period.
All of the above are the standard pills taken by the various realms in the Taiyi Sect, and the medicinal power of each is ten times that of the previous realm. However, the improvement of the realm not only brings a tenfold increase in mana, but also a tens, hundredfold leap for those with superior talents. Therefore, these ordinary standard pills can no longer meet the needs of the high-level, and the demand is naturally huge, but with such a ratio, the supply in Taiyimen is still relatively tight.
Lu Xihua spent 120 million Qingming Pill in four months, which caused a small chaos in the supply of pills in the Taiwei Palace, and made Si Qingping and Si Zhenren have to pay out of their own pockets to subsidize the consumption of the Star Map, these are the results of resource shortages, talent shortages, and inventory shortages.
After all, every cultivator cultivating immortals consumes a huge amount of resources. These stewards who stay in the sect and are busy with the affairs of the sect every day, if they do not harm the public and private interests, how can they rely on the resources issued by the sect alone to cultivate. Managing affairs has already taken up a lot of their cultivation time, so they can only sneak around and embezzle some resources. Otherwise, according to the character of the immortal cultivator, no one would have been willing to do these trivial things for a long time, and they would have hid in the depths of the Dao Gate to cultivate the Great Dao.
Therefore, in a sect, there must always be some people who make sacrifices to manage the sect, and not all of them can practice, and the sect also turns a blind eye to some of their things, and it is not too excessive.
Lu Xihua stood in front of the window, looking out at the scenery.
Beyond the wooden window was a cliff, countless white clouds fluttered at the feet, and several white cranes flew by, two or three of them chased with spiritual grass, and let out bursts of crane chirps. A breeze blew, revealing a few gaps between the white clouds, and below was a plain, above which was an endless city, inhabited by a large number of hundreds of thousands of outer disciples and tens of millions of attendants they brought, hundreds of millions of mortals.
The avenues are like chessboards, and the square city is like a star, dotted on the Taiyi star, vividly in sight, looking at thousands of miles.
And Lu Xihua stood on top of the white clouds, looking down on the camping beings.
"In the end, it is the head of the Daomen, living here for a long time, and being able to cultivate the qi of immortals~" Lu Xihua sighed in his heart, living in the qi and body, where he lives, he can naturally raise what kind of temperament.
Where Lu Xihua is located is a mountain peak floating on the plain, this is the benefit given by the sect to the secret disciples, belonging to the private territory, this peak is dozens of miles in circumference, it is the sect with great divine power from the sky, itself has its own buoyancy, a little formation modification can be used, floating in the air at a height of 10,000 meters, trapped in place by the formation will not move, on which countless pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and pavilions, specially waiting for the secret disciples to stay. Lu Xihua's entry time is too short, although he is not a true disciple, but the realm has surpassed the secret tradition, of course, he can occupy a mountain.
Lu Xihua received this peak, and the sect hurriedly sent a battalion of craftsmen to clean and maintain the buildings above. Now there is a huge peak, deserted, only Lu Xihua is the only one up and down the whole peak, originally Xu Dian mainly sent some servants to Lu Xihua to take care of the daily operation of the mountain, but Lu Xihua temporarily refused, because he had some secrets that could not be revealed.
Si Qingping has already warned Lu Xihua not to leave Taiyi Star for the time being, because his entry time is too short, and he does not have his own connections, and he is afraid that someone will not be able to hold back his secret hand when he goes out. Lu Xihua didn't want to leave in a short time, because he had just started, and Taiyi was his own teacher, so he was not familiar with it at all. He wanted to stay in the door and study the books inside the door to see if he could find any records related to that world, but the first priority was to pay off the debt he owed.
At this moment, the Taiyi Star has entered the winter, the plain is snowy, the cold is pressing, the rivers and mountains are silver, and the white waves on the river are magnificent.
Suddenly, a muffled thunder burst out from the sky, like a continuous wave.
"The new real person is cultivating again?" Several men in ox carts were chatting at the gate of a city, and the ox carts were full of empty sacks, which exuded an enticing medicinal fragrance, all of which were obviously filled with medicinal herbs.
Several men are servants of the villages outside the city, after sending medicinal materials to the city, they are on the side of the city gate, unloading the ox cart, letting them rest to eat grass and drink water, and bragging about nothing, rubbing a little time, so as not to return to the village is also boring, at this moment I heard the thunder in the sky, and looked up.
"Real people~" A man casually held a large tank, poured the water in the tank into the sink, this tank is four feet square, filled with water, no less than thousands of pounds, but in the hands of the man like a chicken and dog, there is no stagnation between walking. "Thinking of my Lao Zhang, he is also a fierce general on the battlefield, he has fought dozens of battles in his life, has never been defeated, and he is also a character who has come out of thousands of troops. It's a pity that when I got here, I was just a driver who fed cattle and drove a cart. ”
"You're amazing~" a big man said with a smile, "Who of us here is not a master in the army, and at the very least, he is also an enemy of 100 people." Which of the people we serve is not the princes and grandsons of the dynasty, but unfortunately they are not an outer disciple here. Talent, no talent to cultivate immortals. We didn't come here to get some pills, so that we could go home and improve the physique of our juniors, and look forward to entering the immortal gate one day. ”
"What kind of exercises do you say this newcomer is practicing? It's thundering every day, and I'm not refreshed day and night. ”
"I have a piece of gossip that this real person on our head has only been in the business for four months. ”
"Liar, who believes it~"
"Really, the prince of my family said that it is rumored in the door that this real person is the reincarnation of the Ancient Thunder Emperor, and his cultivation is the Thunder Avenue. He himself was the group of trialists who had just been recruited not long ago, and as a result, in a cultivation, he awakened the memory of his previous life, which is why he practiced so fast. ”
"It doesn't matter what kind of reincarnation he is, we just have to take care of ourselves. ”
With a click, before the words were finished, a lightning bolt resounded in the air, and everyone couldn't help but look up in unison, only to see countless silver snakes gathering in the air and rushing towards the mountain peak.
"My good man, I really deserve to be a real person, this lightning slashes on people, not to mention thousands of troops, even hundreds of thousands, millions of troops, it is estimated that they will be wiped out. A big man looked enviously at the strange scene in the air and said.
At this moment, a huge hole appeared in the sky, just above the mountain peak. Originally, it was daytime, and although it was winter, the sun was still warm on people's bodies, but a hole suddenly appeared in the clear sky, which of course attracted everyone to watch.
A starry sky appeared in the hollow, and before everyone was amazed, a stream of silver-white starlight poured out and fell directly on the mountain peak. The lightning in the starlight surrounded, shivering, gradually getting thicker and thicker, these lightning gradually turned into the form of dragons and snakes in the starlight, swimming in the meantime, and there were turtles and whales, quietly revealed.
A strange chant sounded on the peak, and the sound passed through the starlight, forming eight strange huge characters on the peak, revolving around the peak.
Hum!
The pronunciation of these eight words suddenly appeared in the hearts of the people on the plain, and the sound was vast and broad, like a dragon chanting and thundering, representing a righteous qi between heaven and earth, and falling in people's hearts as if they had taken pills.
After a while, the starlight like water dissipated, and the hollow in the mountain wind closed again, but the eight big characters that revolved around the mountain peak were still vivid.
Lu Xihua sat up from the stone, looked at the torn Danding in front of him, and smiled bitterly.
Hundreds of finger-sized pills were suspended in the air, the pill was silvery-white, with three blue thunder patterns on it, and it was the Thunder Fall Pill refined by Lu Xihua, the standard pill for refining the Void Realm.
Lu Xihua didn't use any medicinal materials, but simply and rudely condensed it directly with the thunder qi outside the sky, and these starlights were used by himself to use the Blue Elephant Yuan Shen to cast the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds to remove all kinds of impurities inside, and then generated by the Yin and Yang of Danding. It's a pity that the light of thunder is too domineering, and his own Danding is the standard issued by the sect, not a treasure, so naturally he can't bear such a terrifying thunder, and it will be broken after only refining once.
The ordinary Thunder Meteor Pill is just silvery-white, and it exudes the breath of heavenly thunder, after eating, it can enhance the Yuanshen's fit with the void, enhance the Yuanshen's perception of the Great Dao, and it is also a rare thing in the pills taken in the refining void realm. One can be worth twenty to thirty Qingming Pills, and the demand in the sect is not small.
Lu Xihua only made a move for a moment just now, and he obtained hundreds of Thunder Meteor Pills, worth two thousand Qing Ming Pills, but there was still a long way to go from the 120 million Qing Ming Pills.
"It seems that I have to think of other methods~" Lu Xihua secretly thought about it.
Alchemy already requires natural treasures, all kinds of elixirs, Lu Xihua's entry time is too short, there is no long thing, if you want these things, you either grow them yourself, or you can exchange resources and sects.
One hundred Thunder Pills, with Thunder Pill patterns on them, are naturally much better than ordinary Thunder Pills, after all, it is a direct transformation of the Thunder Qi outside the sky, and the impurities are removed by the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds, and they are born more than one step higher. It's just that just like a hundred grains, its value is only five thousand Ququ Qingming Pill, and it is not even comparable to the value of the Danding that was damaged by Lu Xihua. So Lu Xihua made a loss-making deal in alchemy this time.
"If alchemy doesn't work, you can refine the weapon, and the demand for magic weapons and spiritual weapons in the door is also very high, and it is very valuable. Lu Xihua couldn't help but re-decide the direction of his efforts.
It's a pity that the reality is cruel, Lu Xihua has no talent for refining, let alone money, and can't afford to buy natural treasures. Refining some ordinary magic weapons, the purchase objects are just some disciples in the foundation building and knotting Dan period, these disciples can't afford to pay a lot of money, and the price they can pay is only a few hundred Qingming Pills, but for them, a few hundred Qingming Pills are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Bud Pills, which is already a huge amount of money.
"It seems that it is time to find a way to earn your first pot of gold. Lu Xihua made up his mind.
The first pot of gold generally represents the original sin, and there are few regular ones, as a real person of the Daomen, naturally he can't grab low-end business with the disciples below, and he can only do high-end business if he wants to do it, which is a huge profit.
What real people lack is a good elixir and a Dao weapon that contains laws, and Lu Xihua set his sights on Qinggong.
In the Taiwei Palace, Lu Xihua didn't say everything, the unknown person who suspected himself was sucking himself out of the white lotus, and he emptied the surrounding bubbles, and these bubbles now exist in Lu Xihua's body, as if the acupuncture points are hidden all over Lu Xihua's body. In this way, the remnant world of the primeval power was taken by Lu Xi for himself, and although the white lotus sucked most of it, it still left a small part for Lu Xihua.
And Lu Xihua is now looking at these small worlds, and he wants to choose one of them and get his first pot of gold.
These small worlds are hidden in their own bodies, with Bodhi Zi as the center, faintly connected with green silk, and now Lu Xihua no longer needs Qinggong to open the way when he enters. Just in case, Lu Xihua sent letters to both Xu Zhen and Si Zhenren, saying that he had entered the country too quickly and needed to retreat and recuperate.
Xu Zhen replied that Lu Xihua should not worry, he would ask the fellow disciples in the hall not to disturb, and at the same time reminded Lu Xihua to open the formation mechanism during the retreat to prevent others from breaking through by mistake.
And Si Zhenren reminded Lu Xihua to hurry up and learn the alchemy technique and make up the arrears as soon as possible, because she heard others say that Lu Xihua has practiced Dan several times recently, and he has been doing loss-making business every time, and the Dan he has refined is not enough to compensate for the cost of Danding, and she is very worried about Lu Xihua's ability to repay. And it is also said that someone gave Lu Xihua a nickname, called Lei Yin Zhenren, because every time Lu Xihua alchemy is a thunder sound burst, but unfortunately, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, this Lei Yin real person always loses money, and it is a must in Taiwei Palace.
Lu Xihua was speechless to this somewhat cautious hall master, could it be that in her eyes, she was a life that lost money?
Everything has been decided, Lu Xihua in the quiet room opened the Dharma Protector Array, and the whole person flashed and disappeared.
