After the head of the He family left, the housekeeper came to report that there was a foundation monk from the Guangming Yan family, who came to visit.

Yan Yue didn't want to see any more guests, but he was able to return to the Wind and Rain Continent by taking the Yan family's tailwind boat, which was a favor, so he met the Yan family's guests.

Tomorrow is Yan Yue's Elder Promotion Ceremony, and there will be congrators from all factions of the Ten Factions Alliance.

The envoy of the Yan family had arrived a day earlier, and it was Yan Hua who had brought Yan Yue back.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, he smiled as he walked: "Yan Daoyou, I haven't seen you for half a month, I didn't expect you to have reached the foundation, it's really gratifying." ”

As he spoke, he took out another congratulatory gift, "A small gift is not a tribute." ”

Yan Yue's divine sense swept over the congratulatory gift, and saw that in addition to a relatively valuable third-order spiritual grass, there were also three good spiritual weapons.

These three good spiritual weapons are the three that Yan Hua sold at a low price.

Yan Yue glanced at Yan Hua, who was looking at him with a smile, and said to Jin Mingxiu, the maid beside him, "Serve tea." ”

Jin Mingxiu brought the tea set, Yan Hua hurriedly took the tea set, and personally made a cup of tea for Yan Yue.

After smiling apologetically at Yan Yue again, he sat down, and when his divine sense saw Jin Mingxiu's cultivation at the sixth level of Qi refining, he exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the maidservants around Yan Daoyou have such cultivation. ”

Generally, the servants and maidservants around the Zhuji monks were just some good-looking boys and girls among the mortals, or some low-level Qi refining monks.

There are very few monks who are at the sixth level of qi refining, or even close to the seventh layer of qi refining, especially girls with good looks, who are little maids for the foundation building monks.

In fact, there are indeed few young female cultivators with higher cultivation, and Jin Mingxiu is the highest female disciple in the Yunyang Sect except for Wang Xie Feng and Jiang Yuxian.

Seeing Yan Hua looking at her, he lowered his head and said, "Being able to serve the son is a blessing that the little maid has cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Jin Mingxiu mistook Yan Yue for Xiao Tianchai at that time, and after discovering that Yan Yue was just a waste with inferior qualifications, she only felt that she was noble, but she had been being played by such a lowly person.

After that, every time he saw Yan Yue, he sneered and insulted.

After Yan Yue reached the foundation and was found to be more outstanding than Xiao Tianchai's "Water Spirit Body", he only had infinite remorse for Yan Yue's remaining emotions.

If she had been friends with Yan Yue at that time, I am afraid that she would have reached at least the ninth level of qi refining now under Yan Yue's grace.

It's just that she had no eyes at the time, and she personally ruined the good future that passed by.

After being taken in by Yan Yue regardless of his previous suspicions, in addition to being full of regret, there was also a hint of happiness.

"I have always followed Childe, serve wholeheartedly, as long as Childe casually pointed, it is my great creation, if I can get Childe to look at it differently, then ......"

Thinking of this, Jin Mingxiu didn't dare to think about it any further, a flush flew on his face, and he secretly glanced at Yan Yue.

Yan Yue didn't look at her squarely, looked at Yan Hua and said, "I don't know what your friend is visiting?"

Yan Hua shook his head again and again, "I'm just here to congratulate." ”

After chatting with Yan Yue for a while, he suddenly said casually: "I don't know which branch of our Yan family is Yan Daoyou?"

"Your Yan family?" Yan Yue frowned.

Yan Hua said with a smile: "Our Guangming Yan family, a branch moved to Tiannan ...... a hundred years ago."

Speaking of which, I will not go any further.

The fact that the head of the He family changed Yan Yue's surname has made Yan Yue very annoyed, looking at Yan Hua's meaning, does he want to belong to their Yan family?

His face was immediately unsightly, and he said in a deep voice: "My surname is the color of the face, not your serious strictness." ”

When Yan Hua heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and wondered: "The color of Yan, and this surname?"

"How can there be no ......," Yan Yue paused slightly as he spoke.

It seems that in his impression, people he knows and even read the classics, except for him and his father Yan Shaoyuan, there is indeed no color "Yan" surname.

Yan Hua said again: "I only know that our surname Yan is the number one surname in the world, but the surname Yan has never been heard of. ”

Yan Hua only knew that Yan Yue's surname was pronounced "Yan", and thought that Yan Yue's surname was Yan, not Yan.

The purpose of coming here is really to see if Yan Yue is the descendant of the clansmen who migrated to Tiannan back then.

Seeing Yan Yue's contemplation, he knew that what Yan Yue said that the surname Yan might be true.

He asked again: "Does Brother Yan Dao have a family tree?"

Yan Yue said: "My father may have it, but I don't." ”

"The surname Yan, could it be that the people of the Mai clan changed their own surname?" Yan Hua muttered secretly.

Yan Yue didn't have any feelings for his mother's ancestors, but he had feelings for his own ancestors, thinking that his father had told him that their family was not from Dashu Village, but Yan Yue's grandfather migrated to Dashu Village.

In this way, it may be true that he is related to the Guangming Yan family, and it is impossible to say.

He asked about the Yan family who moved to Tiannan a hundred years ago.

Yan Hua seemed a little reluctant to mention it at first, but later, in order to verify Yan Yue's identity, he talked about the past of the people who migrated to the vein.

It turned out that the people of the Namai clan were the descendants of their Yan family, but when the head of the family was competing with the head of the Yan family on behalf of the head of the family, for some reason, he moved to Tiannan, and there was no news after that.

Yan Hua said it vaguely, but Yan Yue heard the details.

The head of the Namai clan wanted to come to the house, but because of the failure to compete for the head of the family, he avoided Tiannan.

After that, there was no news, it is likely that they were hunted down and killed, and all of them were exterminated, and there is also a possibility that the name was changed and the surname was changed to a surname with the same sound as "Yan".

If they are all extinct, it has nothing to do with Yan Yue.

If it is really a name change, then combined with the rare and almost invisible "Yan" surname of the Yan Yue family, as well as the migration of his grandfather to Dashu Village, Yan Yue may really be a descendant of the Yan family.

Thinking of his ancestor, it may be a member of the Yan family who was hunted down and killed at the end of the world, and said in a deep voice: "After many years, Yan Daoyou came to find the descendants of the people of that vein again, I don't know why?"

In fact, as Yan Yue expected, the Yan family's Namai clan was indeed fleeing from Tiannan because they were evading pursuit.

When the Guangming Yan family heard that the new elder of the Yunyang Sect was called "Yan Yue", they sent Yan Hua to inquire whether Yan Yue was a descendant of the Namai clan.

If Yan Yue is not a descendant of the Namai clan, his surname is "Yan", and he is also of the same clan as them, so he can have a good relationship and even be absorbed into the Yan family.

If Yan Yue is really a descendant of the Namai clan, then it depends on Yan Yue's attitude towards the Yan family.

Yan Hua did not expect that Yan Yue's surname was Yan, not Yan.

So much so that when it came to the matter of the people of the Namai clan, Yan Yue analyzed the cause and effect.

He said with a smile: "There is no surname Yan in the world, Yan Daoyou's surname must have been changed from the surname Yan, even if he is not a descendant of my clan, he must be of the same clan as our Yan family." ”

Yan Yue said: "So what?"

There are more people of the same clan and clan, and there are also cannibalism between brothers, and they have a very distant blood relationship, so they want to make friends with Yan Yue, and see if they have this qualification.

Yan Hua had heard that Yan Yue was suspected of being a water spirit and beating Cangyu Daoren, and knew that Yan Yue was not a master to be messed with, so he shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that our Guangming is about to create another large-scale cultivation sect, and then our Yan family will have many disputes with them, if Yan Daoyou can help......"

Yan Yue heard the words and knew his intentions, he was here to pull relationships and find helpers.

Yan Yue knew that among the ten faction alliances, there were six factions that each had two factions occupying one place, and the top four in terms of strength, the Qingyuan Sect, the Lingyue Sect, the Duzun Palace, and the Guangming Yan Family, all occupied one place.

And Guangming, where the Yan family is located, is about to have a large-scale cultivation sect of the same scale as them.

Yan Yue said: "The 'large-scale cultivation sect' can only be created by the strong people of the Jiedan, this is a matter between your ancestor and the monk of the Jiedan, if he can't fight that person, he can find the other ten Jiedans of the Ten Faction Alliance to help, and in the next person who has just established the foundation, how can he help your faction." ”

Yan Hua listened to the words, and then said with a smile: "Yan Daoyou has just been promoted to build a foundation, and he may not know some of these things, that new predecessor of Jiedan, who founded a sect in Guangming, is the meaning of the above, our ancestor cannot intervene, and the battle for the territory needs to be done by those of us below." ”

Yan Yue really didn't understand the rules for the creation of the Xiuzhen Sect, and wondered: "Why does that newly promoted predecessor want to establish a sect in your Guangming, why can't your ancestor intervene?"

Regarding this matter, it is not an ulterior secret, Yan Hua said: "This is related to the monk's incense. ”

"Monk's incense?" Yan Yue wondered.

Yan Hua said: "The incense comes from the people's beliefs, the new predecessor of Jiedan, is to create a sect in our Guangming, absorb the people's incense, half of the western part of Guangming will be his territory, but his territory is allocated from above, the ancestor can't stop it, we need to fight for the people below the border, and the specific division of the border, if he asks him to send his colleagues to help, the meaning is too obvious, so ......"

After finishing speaking, he invited Yan Yue again, and then in the name of "being born in the Yan family", he helped them.

Yan Yue didn't agree, nor did he directly refuse, and gave an ambiguous answer.

Yan Hua saw that Yan Yue didn't want to participate, so he didn't invite more.

After sending Yan Hua away, Yan Yue went to find the Formation Foundation Daoist and asked about the monk's incense.

The people of the Formation Foundation Dao have been bullied by their peers over the years, but since Yan Yue entered the foundation building, the elders in the sect have become polite to him, and they often sigh that they have received good disciples.

The matter of incense is not a major secret, so he talked to Yan Yue.

"Monk incense, that is, the power of incense.

In order to gain the power of incense, the monk needs to establish prestige among the people, exert favors, and gain the faith of the people.

The people who believe in a certain monk are called the believers of that monk, and the monks who are believed in are called the beneficials of the believers.

Believers believe in offering incense to the Lord and the power formed by offering incense to the Lord is called the power of incense. ”

Yan Yue has also seen the word "incense" in Fu Ming's biography, and it is the first time that "for the lord" and "believer" has been heard.

He asked, "What are the requirements for becoming a donor?"

The Formation Leader replied:

"Your question, that is, what qualifications do you need to obtain the power of incense.

If you want to obtain the power of incense, you must have the cultivation of the Dan, and the cultivation realm must be higher than that of the target believer.

That is to say, when you reach the knot, you can obtain the incense of others, but you can only obtain the incense of mortals, qi refining, and foundation building, and you cannot get the faith of monks in the same realm.

In addition, if you want to have a believer, you must first have a fief, and the people in the fief are the people of the monk.

Only in one's own fiefdom can one accept the offerings of the people honestly, otherwise it will be a robbery of other people's incense.

In order to achieve the knot, you can be assigned a fiefdom. ”

Yan Yue was slightly stunned after hearing this, "So, the so-called Yunyang Sect Territory is actually the fiefdom of the Ancestor?"

The Jinji Daoist nodded, "Exactly." ”

Yan Yue didn't understand the behavior of the Jiedan monk to create a sect to recruit disciples.

How can a group of unscrupulous and selfish people who are unscrupulous and selfish for the sake of profit spend their energy and financial resources to favor others?

What is said to be for the development of the sect, in order to pass on the exercises, and recruit disciples to cultivate talents, Yan Yue does not believe this reason.

At this time, I learned that the monk Jiedan founded the sect and recruited disciples just to establish prestige, exert favor, and gain the faith of the people, so as to obtain the power of incense, just for his own cultivation.

And the so-called sect realm is nothing more than the private territory of the monk Jiedan.

Yan Yue asked the Formation Foundation Dao again: "Do you have to reach the third realm of Pei Yuan Flow before you can obtain the power of incense?

Regarding the matter of the two veins of cultivation, the Formation Foundation Daoist had concealed Yan Yue before, but after Yan Yue went to the Ancient Cultivation Continent, he also knew that there was a more brilliant civilization that existed, so it didn't hurt to talk to him.

"The cultivators of the third realm of the Solid Stream, the Honglu Realm, can also obtain the power of incense.

It's just that those who cultivate the solid essence stream will not be recognized, and even if they reach the Honglu realm, the high-level leaders of our continent will not assign them a territory.

The people who cultivated the Solid Essence were all concentrated in the Ancient Cultivation Continent, and there were also many mortal people who had migrated over the past for thousands of years.

Therefore, the monks of the Honglu Realm are all in the Ancient Cultivation Continent and receive incense. ”

So, if I reach the Honglu realm in the future and want to obtain the power of incense, I can only go to the Ancient Cultivation Continent?

Yan Yue had already decided to take Gubenliu as his major, but Gubenliu monks were not recognized on the side of the Wind and Rain Continent.

Secretly muttering, the Formation Foundation Daoist said, "There are some people who don't need to cultivate to reach the third realm to obtain the power of incense. ”

Yan Yue asked, "Who is it?"

Array Base Dao said: "Some people with special physiques, such as the Five Elements Spirit Body that we lied to all our senior brothers, those who have the Five Elements Spirit Body can obtain the power of incense before the third realm.

In addition, those who concentrate their energy on their bodies can also ignore the restrictions on their cultivation as donors and believers.

In other words, if you are really a Five Elements Spirit Body, you can become a donor for monks of the same rank or below now, or when you are still in the Qi refining period.

Of course, if you want to accept believers in the sect realm, you still need to get the consent of the ancestors. ”

Yan Yue heard what he said, and he already understood.

Whether or not you can enjoy the people's incense offerings is the same as the relationship between monks and Dharma weapons.

Low-level monks can also use high-level magic weapons when they get them, but with low-level strength, they can't get high-level magic weapons.

The threshold for obtaining the power of incense is to reach the third realm, which is like learning the exorcism technique to drive the magic weapon, and the distribution of fiefs is like the magic weapon given by the teacher, and the magic weapon can only be used if the magic weapon is given in the name of the right word.

And those who have a special constitution, or who concentrate the energy in their bodies, are like people who have mastered the art of exorcism in advance.

From this, it can be imagined that those special physique talents of the Great Gate Sect are likely to have a huge power of incense before they reach the Dan.

Then he asked, "Then, what is the effect of the power of incense?"

The Formation Leader replied:

I don't know the specifics, but I heard the ancestor say that the power of incense can bring an endless stream of life vitality to him who has cultivated to the Dan.

The vitality of life, also known as vitality by the monks of the ancient cultivation continent, refers to the vitality of life.

Those who are full of vitality have strong vitality.

For the ancestors who have cultivated as a Dan, the vitality has two main functions, one is to open the valley, and the other is to help the injury heal.

The so-called mortals eat grains, and the immortals receive incense, although the monks are not immortals, but the power of incense brings the vitality to the monks, and it can also make them not need to eat grains and grains for a long time.

Even if the injury is severe, the body can be repaired as before, and the cultivation reaches a certain height, and even the physical body can be reshaped and brought back to life.

Listening to the ancestor, the vitality of life may have a small benefit to longevity.

The power of incense, in addition to bringing life vitality to monks, may have other effects, I don't know very well.

Of course, both the believer and the donor benefit.

When believers bring the power of incense to the offeror, they can also receive blessings from the offeror.

Blessing, that is, the blessing that believers receive by believing in the Lord.

Yan Yue asked, "How do believers receive blessings from the Lord?"

The Jinji Taoist replied: "Believers who prostrate, worship, offer incense, pray, bless, and give thanks to the Lord will form virtue, and if they have merit, they will receive blessings from the Lord of Offerings." ”

Yan Yue listened a little mysteriously and asked, "Why can burning incense and praying for blessings have merit?"

The Formation Foundation Daoist replied:

I don't know much about how it is formed, but I only know that incense represents "faith" and "faith".

What is Faith?

Trust and look up.

It can also be said to belief.

And incense, pure and turbid, has the power of "faith".

In fact, those who are only burning incense and are not sincere are not qualified believers, but can only be called donors.

The donor only respects the donor on the surface, and the offering is real incense.

True believers have a deep belief in the Lord and offer incense to the heart.

Yan Yue asked, "What is the effect of the blessings brought by the Lord to the believers?"

The Formation Foundation Daoist replied, "It's slightly helpful for cultivation." ”

"It's only a little helpful......"

Humane Approach to the Formation:

It's already very good that it can be helpful for cultivation.

After all, there is a limit to the blessings that one person can produce, while there are many believers who offer to the Lord.

The greater the ability of the donor, the more blessings will be brought to the believer, so if the donor is a powerful party, the believer may receive more good fortune.

In addition to the state of offering to the Lord and the number of other believers, the believer's own cultivation, the degree of belief in the offerer, and the number of believers in the Lord all affect the blessings that the believer can receive.
