Five days later, Lin Shan sat on the descending cloud flag and slowly floated in the sky.
Since escaping from the Demon Dao Main Altar that day, he has been rushing westward without stopping, and now he has finally reached the Confucian sphere of influence in the State of Lu.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. As long as he escapes here, no one can prove that he is a member of the devil's path. After all, he has not practiced magic, and few people know him since he just came from the Song Dynasty in the south.
As for Master Huang Xian and others, they naturally don’t need him to worry about it. Even if they want to, they don’t have the strength. After all, the opponent of the Confucian Sect is a monk at the Yuan Ying stage of the Demon Dao. Master Huang Xian just got into it by mistake. It shouldn’t be a big problem to withdraw. Before leaving, he
Protector Yan Luanchun and others will definitely be taken away.
What's more, the three demon sects still have eight or nine Nascent Soul stage monks. Even if they are wiped out, a few can always escape.
As for the younger brothers who followed him all the way from the East China Sea, the summoning contract in the soul is still on, indicating that most of them are still alive. They should be with Huangxian Master Yan Protector. In comparison, they are definitely more valuable than following him.
Safety.
Therefore, Lin Shan has no plans to summon them for the time being.
What also worried him was the Green Lotus Fairy who was about to be resurrected by the Black Lotus Sect.
Judging from the name, it seems to have something to do with the "Void Shadow of the World Honored One" that the Dharma Protector used to mobilize massive incense and vows. I don't know who is so powerful that he even planned to resurrect him after he died.
The term "fairy" is very common in the world of cultivation. You can call any female cultivator a fairy. No matter if she is a Nascent Soul Golden Pill Foundation Builder and Qi Practicing, you can definitely call her a fairy casually.
But the enhanced panel is not so casual. Since the introduction clearly says "fairy", there is a high probability that it is really a fairy!
Immortal, such a distant and great realm.
Refining the void and combining it with the Tao, dematerializing and lifting, the mind has no birth and death, and the breath has no entry or exit. The heavy and turbid form is transformed into light and clear Qi, and the pure Yang body is transformed into magical powers and myriad transformations.
At that time, the body will transform into pure Yang, and the Yang God will be formed, possessing the function of supernatural powers and myriad transformations.
The last time I heard about it was in the mirage of the Poison Burial Grand Canyon, a figure called the Immortal Powerful One by the Black Skeleton Demon Lord commanded an army of hundreds of millions of monks. With a snap of his finger, a spaceship millions of miles away in the starry sky could be seen.
Turn into ashes and disappear into smoke.
There was also the first time that I went to the ancient temple in the barren mountain to steal the job of the Buddha in the immortal world. With one look, he penetrated all the worlds and peeled away the void. His power was as powerful as the abyss and prison, and it shocked the world.
And now that he is only in the foundation building stage, he has already indirectly provoked the Buddha of the Immortal World and Fairy Qinglian. He may be able to cause more trouble in the future.
Especially since I had just stolen one-tenth of the incense faith, I was afraid that the Dharma King of the Nascent Soul Stage of the Black Lotus Sect would come to my door in the future. But fortunately, I reported the name of Xiong Shanren and Jinglian layman at the time.
Throwing the pot away for them to carry can also share a lot of pressure.
Thinking of this, I felt relieved again.
I currently have a total of 170 points of ancient charm on my body, so I can improve my cultivation level. Only by breaking through the golden elixir stage as soon as possible can I become a high-level combat power in the world of cultivation. Then it will be much easier to walk around.
However, now that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord has a new contract and is in the late stage of foundation building, it seems that we can relax some restrictions on it first and let it return to the golden elixir stage first, which can also protect itself.
Lin Shan touched his chin and thought for a long time. The cloud-falling flag under his seat dragged him far away.
…
Half a month later, after asking around, Lin Shan found a fairy city.
Moon City.
The world of cultivation in Lu was different from that of the Song Dynasty. Although there was more or less resource monopoly, it was much more prosperous than that of the Song Dynasty.
The Confucian school is respected here, headed by the two major Confucian families of Confucius and Mencius, supplemented by the ten major Confucian academies, followed by various large and small sects and cultivation families.
As long as casual cultivators here can afford spiritual stones, they can enter the Confucian academy to study, including basic exercises and spells. There will be dedicated teachers to teach them cultivation experience, including the six arts of cultivation such as alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making.
After they graduate, they enter all walks of life in the world of cultivation and provide low-level talents for the world of Lu's cultivation.
If some casual cultivators are extremely talented or have outstanding understanding, they may be recruited by the academy as disciples, which is equivalent to joining a big force, ensuring that every thousand-mile horse will not be buried.
And some aristocratic families have in-depth cooperation with certain academies, sending their children to academies to study. They can receive instruction from famous teachers since they were young, and then return to the family to serve after they have completed their studies.
Some casual cultivators are so ambitious that they leave the academy after completing their studies and come to major fairy cities in the world of cultivation to look for opportunities, hoping to make a name for themselves.
Due to this enlightened model, the cultivation world of Lu State has cultivated a large number of immortal cultivators. In addition, it is bordered by many countries nearby and has abundant trade and circulation resources, which makes it even more glorious and prosperous.
And because it is located in the place where the Four World Wars occurred, the cultures of all parties converged here, which led to the vigorous development of all walks of life. Many things look novel and unbelievable.
The fairy city here is equivalent to the Fang City in the Song Dynasty, but its scale is several times that of the Fang City. The flow of people in each fairy city is tens of thousands all year round, and all fights are prohibited.
When Lin Shan came to Wangyue City, the gatekeepers at the city gate were all monks in the foundation building period. Every time they entered the city, they had to collect ten spiritual stones, registration also cost ten spiritual stones, and the cost of applying for an identity card also cost ten spiritual stones.
"The cost of production? How come you are charged wherever you apply for a certificate..."
He secretly slandered a few words angrily and followed the crowd into Wangyue City.
The streets on both sides are spacious and grand, with rows of shops clean and tidy. The monks passing by are also in high spirits, and there is a bustling market in front of them.
Lin Shan walked into the busy city, and before he had time to look around, he was immediately surrounded by several monks.
"This fellow Taoist, I am the deacon of the Xiuzhen World Building Materials Market. This is my business card."
"Fellow Taoist, I am a salesman of trendy cassocks. This is my business card."
"Brother, I am a spiritual field leasing agent. This is my business card."
"Sir, I am the promotion specialist of Nujia Goulan Card. This is my business card."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
Lin Shan collected a lot of small cards and finally got rid of these people. He flipped through them and found that they were all simple introductions, as if they were recruiting short-term temporary workers.
The last few cards are quite different, with a few sketches on them, and addresses and contact information on them.
Lin Shan looked around vigilantly and threw away all the other cards except these few.
Walking through a street again, I saw another busy market, which was even busier than the one before. There were rows of tables, chairs and benches, and monks were sitting upright. From time to time, someone came to talk and exchange with a page of paper.
Kind of like...an interview?
The world of cultivation in the Lu Kingdom is indeed unusual. It is obviously different from the customs in the Song Dynasty. It seems to have a more novel model that allows casual cultivators to develop their own specialties and stay in the fairy city.
Lin Shan couldn't help but step forward to listen, and saw a young monk with fuzz on his lips, sitting in front of a middle-aged examiner. He handed over his resume and introduced himself awkwardly.
"Examiner, young student Ma Wentong, graduated from Hongshan Zhenzhi Academy. He once won a third-class ranking in the academy's weapon refining competition and designed two large-scale weapon refining invention drawings, namely the Satellite Protector and the Magic Aircraft."
Everyone around him exclaimed after hearing this, and Lin Shan was also greatly surprised. He didn't expect that the Lu country was full of talents, and that an ordinary academy student randomly pulled out of the street could have such a level!
The middle-aged examiner frowned slightly, looked at his resume for a while, and said thoughtfully:
"Zhenzhi Academy is an ordinary school, and your competition is not a big competition in the Lu Kingdom's cultivation world. The gold content is not very high. The invention of magical weapons is also a bit useless. It feels like an armchair game. Whether it can be put into use remains to be discussed."
Ma Wentong immediately became anxious after hearing this: "My invention is unanimously favored by the gentlemen of the academy. They believe that as long as sufficient starting spirit stones are invested in research and development, we can change the current pattern of the cultivation world and usher in a new round of vigorous development!"
The middle-aged examiner still didn't agree, twirling his beard and shaking his head: "There is a huge array to protect the sect, and the satellites are placed outside. What's the use except to get beaten? The flying boat has a spirit stone drive that has always been stable, why do we need to use violent demonic energy to do it?
Prompt?"
Ma Wentong patiently explained his ideas and ideas:
"The sect-protecting formation is too rigid and can easily be tampered with by enemies. During the Lu Kingdom Cultivation World War some time ago, wasn't the sect-protecting formation of the Demonic Dao General Altar modified by our Confucian coalition to make it accessible but not exitable?
If we have the Huzong satellite, we can give an early warning to prevent the other party from sneaking in and sabotaging it, and it can also form a rivalry with the Huzong formation and complement each other. I also have a detailed Starlink plan and launch cost report.
As for the flying boat's driving spirit stone, which has always been in short supply, why not use new energy, demonic energy, as a substitute? Just after the war, our Confucian sect captured so many demonic monks and asked them to provide us with demonic energy as coolies, killing two birds with one stone..."
Ma Wentong was talking eloquently there, and everyone listening nodded frequently, feeling that his ideas were very insightful.
Lin Shan was even more stunned!
I didn't expect that in the world of Lu Kingdom's cultivation, any casual cultivator who came out of the academy would have such knowledge and talent. The world is truly full of wonders. If I didn't leave the Song Dynasty and wander around, I would still be a frog in the well.
At the same time, I can’t help but lament that I need to open up my thinking and not be restricted to the old environment and system of the Song Dynasty’s cultivation world.
Immortal civilization will definitely develop gradually as time goes by. How can it remain stagnant?
With cultural exchanges and in-depth development, various magical instruments and magic weapons may be updated and iterated, while some stubborn old antiques are destined to be eliminated by the times!
The middle-aged examiner listened to Ma Wentong's explanation and pondered for a moment. Although this young man had a good imagination, his two weapon-refining inventions still had many limitations. Most of the senior officials of his chamber of commerce would not invest in spirit stones. This kind of trial and error
The cost is too high.
Later, Ma Wentong failed the interview and had to leave to find the next stall, hoping to stay and work in Fairy City.
Seeing this scene, all the students around him felt uneasy and worried about their future.
Next, another student handed in his resume. This person had a handsome face and a scholarly air.
"My Lord Meng Chuanjun is a branch of the Meng family, a Confucian family. He has been good at making friends with all generations since he was a child. He has friends in all major sects and cultivation families. He can coordinate and communicate with multiple parties, open up the trading market, and broaden business channels..."
This young man named Meng Chuanjun seemed to be born in a branch of a Confucian family and was not valued much by his family. Therefore, he wanted to go out on his own and get a job by relying on his connections and background to earn money for his future.
More spiritual practice resources.
"Congratulations, classmate, and welcome to join our Chamber of Commerce."
The middle-aged examiner shook hands with Meng Chuanjun cordially and took him under his command without saying a word.
He didn't even ask any unnecessary questions, he just spoke clearly and completely changed his mind.
This is the background!
No matter in which world or era, it is an important stepping stone.
A stepping stone, as long as you have it, your starting point will be higher than others.
Even if you don't have unbridled creativity or excellent skills such as the Six Arts of Cultivation, relying on the influence of your family, your social circle and your vision since childhood can bring extraordinary convenience to your future.
The middle-aged examiner's considerations are also very simple. Meng Chuanjun has a wide network of contacts and knows many younger generations of the Lu Kingdom's cultivation circles. In the future, he can open more channels for the Chamber of Commerce and provide some internal information about other forces. He is very suitable to be the mouthpiece and mouthpiece of the Chamber of Commerce.
contact person.
Chambers of commerce in the world of cultivation naturally seek profits.
Afterwards, students from all walks of life came on stage one after another. Lin Shan watched one interview after another and found that he could not fit into the system of the Lu Kingdom cultivation world!
Because he has never been to any academy to practice, he is just a casual practitioner.
As for the "Wanliu Academy" that was previously compiled by the Demonic Forum, not even Dai Fudang and Zhu Duiyou could be deceived, let alone the interview examiners from various chambers of commerce.
You must know that there are ten top academies in the State of Lu. Among them, the strong ones include the ancestors of the Yuan Ying stage who are practicing in seclusion, and the weaker ones also have the masters of the Golden Core stage. Each one has a name and a surname, which is equivalent to a "golden sign" in the world of cultivation.
Without the endorsement of the academy, without this stepping stone, he could not even pass the first level of the preliminary screening and had no opportunity to show off his abilities.
Casual cultivators like him without "academic qualifications" can only work in the fairy city!
But, then again.
If you can't make it, you can't make it. Does he seem like a person who lacks spiritual stones?
It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.
Not to mention the 200,000 spirit stones that Guizhenren got from him, but he still spent more than 100,000. Later, he used his identity as an envoy of the Demon Cult to trap 150,000 from the Gongsun family, plus he killed monks from all sides along the way.
The inheritance provided to him totaled more than 300,000 spiritual stones!
Even if he lives in Wangyue Fairy City for a lifetime, it won't cost him a string of fractions of 300,000 yuan!
"At this stage, it's time to set up a cave and practice An An safely for a while."
Lin Shan walked on the streets of Wangyue City, watching the people who were cultivating immortals from all walks of life. It was a lively and peaceful scene, and he felt a long-lost peace in his heart.
"When I was in the Song Dynasty, the casual cultivators were worried all day long. Later, when I entered the Demon Sect, I was under pressure to preach. In the war between good and evil, there were many demons dancing around and masters. If I hadn't been clever enough, I really wouldn't have survived."
"I finally escaped from the Song Dynasty. I originally thought that when I came to the Black Lotus Sect of Lu State, with the support of Master Huang Xian, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, I would be able to get the cultivation resources, and Gu Yun would be paid."
"In the end, Gu Yun gained a lot, but not only did the sect become famous, but its backers were also lost one after another, and it completely turned into a casual cultivator."
"It's really the fate of the people, everything in the world is unpredictable..."
Lin Shan sighed as he walked and planned his next practice.
"The first thing is to use the spiritual liquid obtained from the spiritual vein tide to first raise the cultivation level to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and then accept the baptism of star power quenching body and phantom spirit liquid for a long time, and use the three-pronged approach to settle down!
"
"As for the elixir that can break through the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building, we have to find a way to get one."
Now that there is no channel for the top sect, the Black Lotus Sect, this kind of precious realm-breaking elixir similar to the "Purple Heart Pill" seems a bit difficult to deal with.
Although the State of Lu is relatively open, it is still relatively speaking, and the monopoly it deserves is naturally indispensable.
Although popular items such as foundation-building elixirs occasionally appeared on the market, they were swept away by well-informed local snakes as soon as they came out, leaving outsiders like him with no chance at all.
Without the elixir, his cultivation progress will inevitably be slowed down. If he fails to pass the test, his cultivation level may regress. More importantly, the "Dao Mark", the product of failed test, will seriously hinder the progress of all major realms in the future.
Difficulty.
The more "Tao Marks" you accumulate, the harder it will be to break through the next realms, until there is no way forward. At that time, your future of cultivation is completely cut off, and there is nothing you can do no matter how powerful you are.
Many old monsters have been unable to make any progress after practicing for many years, and it is for this reason.
Therefore, in the early stage of the foundation building stage, if you can pass the level in one go, it is best to get it right in one step and not to pull it repeatedly, leaving room for error and room for bottlenecks in later levels.
Lin Shan has heard this kind of experience talk a lot along the way. This is why every time he breaks through, he would rather spend Gu Yun to ensure that he is foolproof than take risks and bet on low probabilities.
Who makes his heart as high as the sky and his ambition to become a fairy!
Now comes the difficulty. It is not a problem to reach the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. Where can I find the elixir to break through the bottleneck?
You can't just strengthen it step by step like you did when you tried out the "low-end version of the Foundation-Building Pill", right?
Lin Shan clasped his fingers and frowned, strengthening all the way from the innate elixir to the jade elixir of the Qi training stage and the magical elixir of the foundation building stage. If the breakthrough probability is less than 90%, he might have to continue to strengthen it into the golden elixir stage treasure elixir like the one in Donghai.
After this series, there will be a total of 56 points of ancient rhyme!
"With my current understanding, should I stop learning alchemy?"
Now he has to be busy improving his cultivation and learning formations. It can be said that it is difficult to finish another alchemy skill.
At this time, the mini skeleton on the waist made a sound. Although it didn't quite understand what the boy was counting on his fingers, it didn't affect its guess at what Lin Shan was thinking about.
"Brother, if you want to break through the middle stage of foundation building and plan to use the realm-breaking elixir as an aid, you might as well think differently. In fact, there is another channel."
