PS: Thank you for Qu Duyuan's sandwich biscuits and EAG1E week's rewards, and thank Yangzhigang, Lord Immortal Bird, Paradise Lost, Foshan Bookworm, Mu Jue, Net Lu Cifer, and Sa Ya for their monthly ticket encouragement.

Zhao Ran has come into contact with a lot of monks, including Zhou Yumo, who has maintained a "love letter" with him for more than a year, and then Da Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo, who opened his cultivation horizons, and Zhu Qigu, who is very good to him, and Pei Zhongze, who died thousands of miles with him, of course, there are also Chu Dalian, Tong Lao, the fourth senior brother in black, Chang Wanzhen, etc., if you want to talk about the understanding of the cultivation world, I dare not say that I am a leader in the Ten Directions Jungle, at least in the Taoist Academy at this level, it can be regarded as extraordinary.

Therefore, Zhao Ran was very surprised by the degree of his mana growth, if according to what he heard from the above-mentioned "masters", such a situation should only appear after more than three months of cultivation, but he only used more than half a month, and every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Of course, in addition to being unique in the exercises, such achievements are also related to one's own large expenditures. In just half a month, Zhao's construction team spent nearly 100 taels of silver, and it is expected that this investment will continue in the next month, and if the repair of houses in nearly 100 villages in the county is completed as planned, his investment will be close to 1,000 taels.

Since he first got rich by betting on the game when he first entered Wuji Academy, Zhao Ran has not cared much about his wealth, but now, he has to re-inventory his savings.

Most of the silver won by the bet was given away by him as a gift, and there are still more than 1,000 taels left, all of which are silver tickets, Zhao Ran couldn't help but start feeling distressed, but thought about it carefully. It's worth spending it, otherwise you wouldn't have your own today. There are also more than 800 taels of gifts received during the congratulatory banquet on the day he was promoted to the head of the Fang Hall, which was not taken seriously at the time, but now he cherishes it extraordinarily.

Except for the silver ticket, his current main wealth is in the fingers, and those medicinal materials and magic weapons are temporarily excluded. There are more than 200 gold ingots that can be directly used for fees, each of which is a large ingot of 50 taels, and a box of small gold ingots obtained from the tunnel of the ruined temple, which adds up to 13,000 taels, which should be around 100,000 taels when converted into pure silver! In addition, there are some scattered silver ingots with more than 5,000 taels. Zhao Ran didn't care much about it at first, because there was so much money that it was already a digital concept, and he really couldn't spend it. But now it's different, every tael of silver represents a trace or a few strands of merit, which is the basis of a real practice.

There are also some jewels that are not easy to value, Zhao Ran plans not to use them for the time being, and in the future, he will either give gifts or exchange huàn silver, which can be saved.

This is a huge amount of wealth, if Zhao Ran is simply for personal enjoyment. It's not easy to spend it, but now it involves cultivation. With his kind of flowering, it is difficult to estimate how far he can go on the path of cultivation. Therefore, of course, the more money the better, and the specific way to hold the money must also be planned in advance.

But his main concern now is the practice of spells. Regardless of whether it is a talisman or a Neidan, whether it is a refining weapon or a supernatural power, as long as he can have it, he will be thankful, but it is a pity that he is in the jungle of the ten directions. None of these.

Zhao Ran sometimes wondered if he had simply let go of himself and confessed to the Daomen what he was born in, anyway, the green rope had already entered the sea of qi, and others couldn't take it away if they wanted to, but he still endured it after being impulsive, he had already faintly noticed that the path he practiced didn't seem to be the "right way", I don't know if this method of cultivating merit is tolerated in the Daomen, if something goes wrong, it will definitely be too late to regret it.

It's just a pity that I have no mana, but it's hard to find it!

On the evening of the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Ran gave the laborers their wages, and cashed the annual rules for the inspectors of the Fangtang (this money came out of the Taoist courtyard, and finally helped Zhao Ran save expenses), and as soon as he returned to his small courtyard in the square hall, a Huogong monk came to summon him, saying that Song Zhiyuan, the prison guard, asked him to see him.

It is said that Zhao Ran's current position is the marginalized Fang Master, and in addition to his own position, it is not his turn to speak for any major matters in the Daoist Academy. But his relationship with Song Zhiyuan is extremely thick after all, and the matter that came to his door this time is also related to him, so it is not surprising that Song Zhiyuan asked him for his opinion.

This year, the West Zhenwu Palace will give Wuji Academy a quota for a newly recorded official Daotong, and there are still two days before it will be officially accepted, but who this quota should be given is still uncertain.

The key problem is that Song Zhiyuan himself is still swaying from side to side, and he doesn't know who to give the quota to. There are only two competitive candidates this year, one is Zhuang Huai and the other is Jin Jiu.

Among the competitors when Zhao Ran was beaten the year before last, Feng Can, who was the biggest, had been killed on the first day of the first month of the first month of the year, and there was only one Zhuang Huai, that is, the secular nephew of Zhuang Fangtou of the Water House of Xizhenwu Palace, who had been stumbling for two years, and Zhuang Fangtou was already a little unable to hold his breath, which put a lot of pressure on Song Zhiyuan.

Jin Jiu was a candidate recommended by the squatter after Zhao Ran made a speech to Song Zhiyuan, and his father was the county lieutenant of Guyang County.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, Zhuang Huai is more qualified than Jin Jiu. First of all, he has been promoted for three consecutive years, at least in terms of qualifications, he is stronger than Jin Jiu; compared to the background, the head of the water house of Xizhenwu Palace is no worse than the county lieutenant of a county; finally, looking at his knowledge, Zhuang Huai can be on a par with Zhao Ran back then, and compared to Jin Jiulai, the son of a gentleman, he can't be tricked.

But the crux of the matter lies in the fact that the West Zhenwu Palace is far away in Long'an Mansion, and the Jin County Lieutenant is in the county seat outside the mountain. The Jin family not only has a very diligent relationship with Wuji Academy, but also the officials of the county are working together, including Kong Xianzun, who has made a show for this, although Wuji Yuan is more expensive than the government, but many mundane affairs cannot avoid Guyang County, especially the private granges of the Taoist priests in the courtyard, all rely on Guyang County to take care of them, and it is really difficult to speak if you really want to ignore it.

All three of them felt extremely embarrassed about this matter, and they discussed twice but ended up without a problem. Song Zhiyuan's biggest backstage is the old abbot in the courtyard, but the old abbot does not cultivate him like the previous superintendent Zhong Tenghong, that is to say, the status of the Song Constituent in the heart of the old abbot is far from being compared with the previous Zhong Confuciator, and the old abbot does not want to offend people for this matter, so the Song Constituent did not get any positive answer from the old abbot.

But this matter can not be delayed any longer, and what should be done must be made immediately.

Song Jian Yuan racked his brains, and finally came up with a solution to find someone to top the cylinder, in Wuji Courtyard, this person who is recognized as being able to top the cylinder is undoubtedly Zhao Ran.

The Song Prison Yuan was very respectful of Zhao Ran's attitude, and the meaning of his words was to hand over the quota to Zhao Ran to decide, and he also told Zhao Ran that this was the unanimous construction of the three capitals.

After Zhao Ran was surprised, he immediately understood the intentions of these high-level officials of Wuji Academy, which was nothing more than to let Zhao Ran continue to pull the tiger skin, and no matter who was defeated at that time, he Song Zhiyuan and San Du would have an excuse - this was the decision of Zhao Zhiran of Wuji Academy! Who is Zhao Zhiran? Oh, haven't you heard of his relationship with the pavilion monks?

In the face of such a heavy trust, if you change to someone else, it is likely that you will be on the way, offending people without knowing it, but in turn complacent, thinking how capable you are. But Zhao Ran has experience, and he understands a truth very well: try not to get your hands dirty when things within the scope of his duties, otherwise he will most likely be used as a scapegoat afterwards.

was about to refuse to comment on this, but Zhao Ran suddenly remembered something, and after hesitating for a moment, he still decided to pull up this tiger skin flag. Of course, he won't pull the flag openly, since the prison court asks for his own opinion, he will give one opinion himself, and don't say anything else!

Who else can Zhao Ran's opinion have, there is no doubt that it is Jin Jiu. As for Zhuang Huai - I'm sorry Friend Zhuang, we don't have anything to do with each other, you haven't trusted me, and you haven't even invited a meal, of course I have little impression of you, and I don't know what kind of talent you have.

Song Zhiyuan asked again: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Ran said: "I'm sure. ”

In a word, it decided the different fates of Jin Jiu and Zhuang Huai Jiajing for fifteen years.

On the first day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Jiajing, Jin Jiu was admitted to the Wuji Temple as a Taoist boy and became an official Taoist.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the housekeeper of Jin County Lieutenant made a special trip up the mountain and sent Zhao Ran an invitation to a banquet. He was waiting to meet Lieutenant King. (To be continued!)
