The way down the mountain is much easier than the road up the mountain, and a large number of reward materials have been left in Xuanji Mountain, so Li Cheng and his party, who were lightly dressed, rushed back to Wanshui County when it was just dark.

Li Cheng rested for a while, and after dinner at the county office, he summoned Song Neng alone.

This was originally the back hall of the Song Neng County Ya, because of the arrival of the Li Governor's Mansion, Song Zhi County gave up the county government and moved to a local rich merchant to live temporarily.

Li Cheng wore a regular home dress to meet Song Neng to show his honesty and trust in Song Neng, but it made Song Neng in an official uniform a little cramped and embarrassed.

After the maid serving Master Li delivered a bowl of soup and two cups of tea, she retreated and closed the door, leaving Li Cheng and Song Neng to talk secretly.

Li Cheng didn't speak in a hurry, but picked up the bowl of Lingge Shouwu soup on the table and tasted it carefully.

The dinner just now tasted much worse than the lunch eaten at Xuanji Pie at noon, Li Cheng didn't have much appetite, so he ate a few bites casually, and now he was a little hungry, and he drank this Lingge Shouwu soup, which seemed to taste good.

Song Neng sat on the chair with only half of his ass and waited silently, not daring to disturb the adults to add food.

After waiting for a while, Li Cheng finally finished drinking the bowl of Lingge Shou Wu Soup, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction, Song Neng hurriedly stepped forward to take the bowl and spoon, and placed it on the small table next to him.

Li Cheng closed his eyes and savored, and suddenly spoke: "Song Neng." ”

Song Neng hurriedly got up and said, "The lower official is here." ”

Li Cheng opened his eyes, glanced at Song Neng and said, "What do you think of Xuan Jizi?"

Song Neng hesitated for a moment and said: "Xuanjizi Immortal Master is loyal and patriotic, safe and self-serving, honest and reliable, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze. ”

Li Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Say it well, I don't want to listen to these official words." ”

Song Neng hurriedly said: "Xuanjizi is cautious, slippery and flexible, and leaves three points everywhere in his work, if he is an official, he is definitely a good hand, but it is a pity to go to the Tao." ”

Li Cheng nodded and said: "If you have a close relationship with such a person, or even take it as a helper, will it be a little risky, and what hidden dangers will there be in the future?"

Song Neng said: "If Xuanjizi is an official with the lower officials, the lower officials will be introduced as confidants, but they will also guard against him." However, Xuan Jizi is an immortal master, and there is no direct conflict of interest with us, his kind of character is very rare in the cultivation realm, and it is worth joining forces with him and helping each other.

The above words are the shallow views of the lower officials, and in the end, it is up to the adults to decide. ”

After Song Neng finished saying this, he said silently in his heart: "Xuanjizi, we have been neighbors for ten years, and we have some friendship, and there is only so much I can help you." ”

Li Cheng said: "Well, I also think that this person is not simple, he is more worldly than ordinary cultivators, and he is less arrogant than ordinary cultivators, I am ready to recommend him to the Nineteenth Prince, what do you think?"

Song Neng was shocked in his heart, it turned out that Li Cheng was the person of the Nineteenth Prince, since he was able to tell such a big secret to himself today, it was clearly meant to solicit, and it just so happened that Song Neng also had no way to speculate, such an opportunity was in front of him, he must seize it.

Song Neng hurriedly bowed down and said: "If there is the help of the nineteen princes, the day when the Xuanji faction will take off is not far away, and it is definitely a great achievement for the adults to contribute to this matter, and the lower officials are here to congratulate the adults on their journey."

Li Chengqian glanced at Song Neng and said, "Then you give Xuanji more convenience here, and after the exam next year, I will recommend you to take over the position of Xuanwei Prefect." ”

Song Neng hurriedly lifted his official robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed frequently: "Your Excellency is very loved, how can your lower officials afford it!" From today on, your lower officials will look forward to the Nineteen Princes and Your Lords, and you can rest assured that the affairs of the Xuanji faction will be handed over to me, and I will definitely handle it properly. ”

Li Cheng waved his hand and said: "Just remember the grace of the Nineteen Princes, don't say things like today in front of outsiders, I and you are colleagues, you mention me and the Nineteen Princes together, how can I deal with myself?"

How could Song Neng not understand the meaning of the words, patted his chest and said: "My lord, don't worry! The Nineteenth Prince is a god on the shrine, and you are the god I put in my heart.

Li Cheng nodded with satisfaction, picked up the tea bowl, wiped the tea foam twice with the bowl lid and said, "Lord Song, the hour is not early, the official is also going to rest, and he has to go to Fucheng early tomorrow morning, so you should go back to rest early!"

Song Neng hurriedly retired: "My lord, you have also worked hard today, rest early, and retire." ”

Li Cheng walked to the bedroom and said, "By the way, your cook is good, let her go back to Fucheng with me tomorrow." ”

Originally, the strength of the Song State Xiuzhen Realm was the weakest among the three kingdoms of China, but through the development of nearly 100 million years, especially the Zhao family's vigorous participation in the affairs of the Xiuzhen Realm, it played a positive role in promoting the development of the Song Kingdom's Xiuzhen Realm.

At present, there are more than 20 Mahayana monks in the Song Kingdom, which is basically the same as the number of Mahayana monks in other Chinese countries.

These Mahayana monks are scattered among more than a dozen heaven-level sects in the Song Kingdom, each Mahayana monk is the greatest foundation of the sect, and all sects with Mahayana monks will be rated as heaven-level sects, and these sects control the cultivation resources and court situation of the Song Kingdom.

There are more than 300 monks in the Cave Void Period and more than 4,000 monks in the Transformation Period in the Song Kingdom, and the sects with monks in the Cave Void Period are called prefecture-level sects, and the sects with monks in the Transformation Period are Xuan-level sects, and the sects with Yuan-infant monks can only be regarded as yellow-level sects.

As for the sect that only has Jindan monks, it is called a sect that does not enter the stream.

It only took a thousand years for the Xuanji faction to change from an unpopular sect to a Xuanji-level sect, completely relying on the strength of Xuanji Zi alone, and it can be regarded as an outlier in the cultivation world.

With the Xuanji sect and the royal family behind it, it is a good time for the Xuanji faction to expand rapidly, and a dream that Xuanji has buried in his heart for many years is continuing to ferment.

At that time, Xuanjizi was just an orphan on the streets, and he became a monk by the great grace of his master, otherwise he would have died of starvation on the streets.

He had vowed to restore the former glory of the Big Dipper Seven Star Sect, but Xuanjizi's cultivation was not high enough before, and it was difficult for Xuanjizi to survive, and Xuanjizi never considered this matter.

Now that the time is ripe, the disciples have gradually grown up, the eldest apprentice and the second apprentice have broken through the Jindan stage successively, and the rest of the disciples have also reached the high level of the foundation building period, and the entire Xuanji faction is united and morale is high, which is a good opportunity for development.

The reason why there is such a good situation is also the result of Xuanjizi's insistence on strict selection of apprentices back then, and every disciple on Xuanji Mountain is an apprentice accepted by Xuanjizi after repeatedly confirming his heart and potential.

From the beginning of accepting the eldest apprentice Tie Yumo two hundred and forty years ago, there are only twelve second-generation disciples of the Xuanji Sect now.

In other sects, the probability of a low-level disciple being promoted to a higher realm is often less than one percent, and even a heaven-level sect will not exceed half of it.

However, the Xuanji Sect relied on very few cultivation resources to bring eleven disciples to the foundation building and above to cultivate, which shows that each disciple's talent and potential are very great.

Although Tianhuo has not yet advanced to the foundation building period, the last thing that Xuanjizi is worried about is Tianhuo, Tianhuo's qualifications are far above those of your senior brothers, and it is not enough to describe it against the sky, every time Tianhuo is promoted, Xuanjizi has to take great pains to help him cover up the terrifying celestial phenomena of the promotion, so as not to be too shocking.

The revival of the Xuanji faction, Xuanji Zi believes that it is not one or two generations that can be completed, but it takes dozens of generations of disciples and hundreds of thousands of years of hard work to achieve, of course, he can only rely on himself and twelve disciples in the early stage.

Xuanjizi is not very sure of his promotion to the Mahayana period, but is full of confidence in Tianhuo's promotion to the Mahayana period, so he hopes that Tianhuo can participate in Xuanji's revival plan throughout the process.

This is also the main reason why he forced Tianhuo to think about the revival plan of the Xuanji faction.

Tianhuo has been very painful these days, and everyone at the meeting that day agreed with the birth of the Xuanji faction, but when it came time to plan the revival plan of Xuanji in a unified manner, everyone began to shirk it again, and finally it was Xuanjizi who handpicked Tianhuo to write the plan.

After Tianhuo went back, he thought about it all night, and only sorted out some scattered ideas.

On the morning of the first day, Tianhuo and Xuanjizi chatted for a long time, and Tianhuo mainly wanted to know what kind of point Master wanted to develop the Xuanji Sect to, and what Master's vision for the future positioning and status of the sect was.

In the afternoon and evening, Tianhuo talked to the other senior brothers one by one, wondering what the heaven-level sect in their hearts should look like, and what kind of environment they wanted to cultivate.

The next day, Tianhuo took the third senior brother and the eighth senior brother to chat for a whole day, and made a thorough investigation of the overall financial situation of the Xuanji faction, estimated the daily financial expenditure, business operation and property situation, and asked them to evaluate the current advantages and disadvantages of the Xuanji faction, and humbly asked them for the direction of the possible future development of the Xuanji faction.

Cang'er and Yi Prisoner had the clearest understanding of the current situation of the Xuanji Sect, and they were also the two people with the most experience in the rivers and lakes and the world, and they gave Tianhuo a lot of ideas and ideas.

On the third day, Tianhuo pulled Lu Qiming around Xuanji Mountain, including more than a dozen other slightly lower peaks within the scope of Xuanji Mountain, and they all went over to inspect them one by one.

On the fourth day, Tianhuo took the second senior brother to Wanshui County under the mountain to observe carefully, and also paid a special visit to Song Neng, the county governor, hoping to understand the population, transportation, catering, entertainment, specialties and other information of Wanshui County.

On the fifth day, Tianhuo finally stopped running around, and began to lock himself in the house, refusing to see guests, writing hard, and for three consecutive days, except for Hu Tianyi, who delivered food to Tianhuo, no one had seen Tianhuo.

At noon on the seventh day, Tie Yumo finally couldn't help but ask Hu Tianyi: "Tianyi, how is your little uncle?"

Hu Tianyi thought for a while and said: "Very haggard, very excited, sometimes lamenting, sometimes laughing, sometimes sobbing, sometimes in a daze, very crazy feeling, I don't know how to describe it." ”

Soon the news spread throughout Xuanji Mountain, and the senior brothers slandered the master for driving the little junior brother crazy, and after Xuanjizi heard the news, he also closed his courtyard door to prevent people from disturbing him.

In the middle of the night on the seventh day, Wan Lai was silent, and most of the people on Xuanji Mountain had already fallen asleep, only Tie Yumo and Su Xing had not yet slept.

Su Xing sat on the windowsill of Tie Yumo's bedroom on the second floor, holding a wine jug and drinking, he looked at a small building not far away that was still lit up, where was the small building of Tianhuo.

Tianhuo's figure was projected onto the window by the candlelight, and as the candle twist jumped, the figure would also tremble, and he was clearly still writing at his desk.

Su Xing suddenly spoke: "Senior brother, will the master crush him by putting such a heavy burden on the little junior brother?"

Tie Yumo sat at the table, playing with a half-palm-sized piece of metal in his hand in the candlelight, the metal block looked like copper, but it emitted a golden-red light.

This is a piece of copper mother crystal, it took Tie Yumo five days to temper ten catties of copper mother into five catties, and purify the already very pure copper mother again.

He was thinking about how to use this copper mother as the main material to build the first spiritual weapon in his life, in fact, he really wanted to build himself a big iron hammer with a cold iron rod and a copper mother as the head as the first spiritual weapon, which would be a weapon that would accompany him all his life.

But to build this spiritual weapon, it takes at least 30 catties of copper mother and 100 catties of cold iron, and the entire Xuanji Mountain only has 100 catties of copper mother and 1000 catties of cold iron, how can Tie Yumo, as a senior brother, be embarrassed to occupy so many resources?

Tie Yumo heard Su Xing's question and said: "Don't you know the character of the little junior brother? He has always had a pure heart, if he feels that he can't do it, he will refuse on the same day, and if he doesn't refuse, it means that he wants to do it and has the ability to do it."

He is the kind of person who is stronger and stronger in the face of pressure, and he would rather bend than bend, and he can also be said to be a person with a firm heart in the Dao, and there is nothing he can't do if he believes in it. ”

Su Xing took another sip of wine and said, "You are very confident in your junior brother, I didn't expect that day that a person as old and respectful as you would agree to the Xuanji faction to enter the world, didn't you want to contact the world the most, and you just wanted to cultivate wholeheartedly?"

Tie Yumo stopped playing with the copper mother crystal in his hand, stared at the candlelight and said, "With the improvement of experience and realm, people's views on things will continue to change. It was only a vague idea that I supported the birth of the Xuanji sect today, but today I have strongly supported the birth of the Xuanji faction. ”

Su Xing jumped down from the windowsill and said, "Oh, why is there such a change?"

Tie Yumo casually threw the piece of copper mother to Su Xing, Su Xing hurriedly reached out to catch it, he was also very fond of the copper mother crystal, because he did not have his own spiritual weapon, and he was also very eager for the material of this refining weapon.

In fact, Xuan Jizi has already prepared spiritual weapons for the two of them, but those two spiritual weapons are spiritual weapons used by others, and the difficulty of containing spirits has increased a lot, and they all want to have a spiritual weapon that fits their own exercises and grows up with themselves, so that it is easier to give birth to a spiritual spirit.

Tie Yumo looked at the copper mother crystal in Su Xing's hand and said, "Should cultivators abandon their obsessions and desires?" In the past few days, I have realized that without the support of strong financial resources and cultivation resources, it is really a fool's dream to want to cultivate without worry, and without money, even building a suitable blade has become a luxury.

If we continue to cling to our defects and refuse to change, then we don't need to cultivate, because the further we cultivate, the more we need cultivation resources, and we feel that it is difficult to continue when we have just reached the Jindan stage, what will we do in the future?"

Su Xing threw the copper mother crystal back to Tie Yumo and said, "So you are now a staunch supporter of the birth. ”

Tie Yumo put the copper mother crystals into the Qiankun bag and said: "Yes, so I really hope that the little junior brother can really change the Xuanji faction, I am looking forward to it, and I am very optimistic about him!"

Su Xing nodded and said, "Although I am a little unconvinced, I also have to admit that this kid is much stronger than us in terms of cultivation talent and thinking ability! ”

Tie Yumo got up and said, "Second brother, don't be too modest, your qualifications and talents are second only to the junior brother, so you don't need to speak sourly with me." It's not too early, how long are you going to hang out with me? ”

Su Xing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I secretly feel that the little junior brother is about to complete that grand plan! Senior brother, just let me stay here for a while, I live far away, and I can't see the situation here of the little junior brother." ”

Before the words fell, I only heard a clear and high-spirited long whistle from the small building of Tianhuo!

This sound is like a dragon's chant, a tiger's roar in the deep valley, teleported out far away, startled countless birds, and the lights in many houses in Xuanji Mountain were lit up.

Tie Yumo listened to Tianhuo's long roar, walked to the window and looked at Tianhuo's Xiaolou and said: "It seems that the little junior brother has broken through, not only has the plan been written, but even the skill has broken through three levels in a row, and now it has reached the sixth level of Qi training, it seems that the spiritual power will really affect the realm of cultivation." I'm looking forward to seeing the little brother's plan. ”

Su Xing also came to the window and said, "Well, it is estimated that it is a shocking and extraordinary plan, and it should be able to be seen tomorrow." Senior brother, I'm tired, I won't bother you, and you should rest early. ”

After speaking, Su Xing came out of the window and disappeared into the vast night sky like a wisp of black smoke under the bleak starlight.

Tianhuo's senior brothers were very excited, and gradually it became noisy in the night, and some anxious senior brothers had already climbed up, and they wanted to rush to Tianhuo's small building to have a sneak peek.

At this time, Xuan Jizi's voice came: "It's late at night, let's sleep, tomorrow the main hall will hold a meeting, and the three generations of disciples and miscellaneous disciples will participate together." ”

Soon Xuanji Mountain quieted down, and the lights in the house dimmed again, except for the small building with a fire in the sky, all the remaining lights were extinguished.

Lu Qiming belonged to the one who never got up, he was lying there still complaining that the fire disturbed people's dreams, and now he listened to the master's words, he was even happier, and he continued to sleep soundly.

Tianhuo hadn't washed for three days, he had become unkempt, his eyes were bloodshot, but his spirit was extremely excited, and his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance!

While sorting out hundreds of pages of manuscripts, Tianhuo flipped through a dozen pages of entire rice paper on the side, which were full of various numbers and drawings, these are the demonstration patterns to be used when telling you tomorrow, and they are also a good way for Tianhuo to come up with the best way to show Xuanji's revival plan, and decided to give it a try tomorrow.

After Tianhuo had proofread all the manuscripts and presentations again, another hour had passed, and he was very satisfied with the results.

Tianhuo fell on his back on the bed, and he didn't have time to take off his shoes, socks and clothes, so he pulled up a quilt and covered his body indiscriminately.

He was so tired that he felt too little to hold it anymore, so he closed his eyes, and soon a slight snoring sounded, and he felt like he had slept very soundly.

At this time, Xuanjizi suddenly appeared on the small building of Tianhuo and floated in silently like a gust of wind.

He walked to the bed, helped Tianhuo remove his shoes and socks, covered the quilt, and walked to the table again, picked up Tianhuo's manuscript and demonstration patterns, and read them carefully.

After only reading a few pages, Xuanjizi began to nod frequently, his eyes flashed with excitement, he forced himself to put down the manuscript, took two deep breaths, suppressed his excitement, looked back at Tianhuo, who was still asleep, and decided not to have a sneak peek.

Xuanjizi put down the manuscript, blew out the candle, and the figure flickered lightly and disappeared out of thin air.
