"Fellow Daoist Gu has misunderstood. How could we dare to think of touching the micro-spiritual veins? If we were not there to watch, those independent cultivators who don't understand the seriousness of the situation would have already set their sights on the micro-spiritual veins!" Patriarch Deng quickly interrupted to explain.
“No need to explain. You take this flag with you and place it at the ruins of the Hao family, at least until the Ascension Conference is over. No one is allowed to touch that micro spiritual vein. During the Ascension Conference, the sect will have a foundation-building uncle-master coming, and he will deal with it then!” Gu Jia took out a flag with the words “Tian Hai” written on it, placed it on the table and said in a deep voice.
The four clan leaders looked helpless; they really wanted to occupy that micro spiritual vein.
But after seeing the broken formation plate, they didn't dare to take action at all, so they thought of pulling Gu Jia along.
Who knew that Gu Jia was planning to eat all the micro spiritual veins? It seemed that their efforts were in vain.
"It's just a micro spiritual vein. Do you really think that the sect master will take it seriously? The micro spiritual vein will still be kept, but you will have to pay some spirit stones at that time. The master can't take the risk for you and get nothing!" Gu Jia waved his hand.
"We will count that micro spiritual vein as five parts!" Patriarch Liu said this, glanced at Li Shiming beside him and said nothing more.
However, Li Shiming understood what he meant. This was to provide Gu Jia with extra income.
No matter what the spiritual vein is used for, Gu Jia will get a share of the benefits.
The four clan leaders need to operate the micro spiritual veins, but Gu Jia doesn't have to do anything. Why is this so? Isn't it because the Tianhai Sect is behind it?
Only Li Shiming knew that there were no so-called foundation-building cultivators among them, and Gu Jiade's share was completely in vain.
Of course he wouldn't say it out loud, this kind of thing is simply impossible to explain.
"My dear friend Li, don't focus on petty gains. After you join the sect and pass the assessment to become a formal disciple, you are capable enough to choose a place for cultivation with a second-grade spiritual vein on your own!" Gu Jia turned to Li Shiming and said.
Gu Jia's words made the four clan leaders understand why Gu Jia attached so much importance to Li Shiming.
At the same time, the four clan leaders looked at Li Shiming with envy in their eyes.
Although the word "inferior" has the word "inferior" in its name, it is a high-quality spiritual vein after all. It is nothing like the micro spiritual veins occupied by these casual cultivators, which have not yet reached the level of spiritual veins.
Only a large sect like Tianhai Sect has the ability to provide such resources to its disciples.
Of course, it is not easy to become a formal disciple of Tianhai Sect. In addition to the requirements of spiritual roots, one must also pass the corresponding assessments.
Since Gu Jia is certain that Li Shiming can become a formal disciple, there must be a reason for this.
The attitudes of the four clan leaders towards Li Shiming also changed. They no longer regarded him as a friend under Gu Jia's protection, but wanted to make deeper friends with him.
Li Shiming was very satisfied with the attitude of the four clan leaders. He had no idea of getting anything from them. He just wanted to spend this time quietly and wait until the Ascension Conference was successful to enter the Tianhai Sect.
Next, the four clan leaders represented the independent cultivators and discussed with Gu Jia about the independent cultivators entering the city. After Gu Jia proposed a series of conditions, they finally relented and allowed the independent cultivators to stay in an area in the city for a long time.
Two days later, the final exam began. Although Li Shiming did not take the three-day exam seriously, he could not resist the mastery of knowledge and the assistance of a large number of articles from his previous life's history.
The results were announced on the tenth day after the final exam, but Li Shiming was too lazy to check as he had been very busy recently.
In addition to practicing the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique" every day, I also learn spells and make talismans.
The more he practiced, the more he felt that the civilization of this world was not inferior to that of his previous life, and even surpassed the technology of his previous life in many aspects.
Take the spell of 'Rejuvenation' for example. In the medicine of the previous life, external and internal injuries, or illnesses, required various corresponding treatments, such as surgery or medication.
Even if you want to find out the cause of the disease, you need the help of medical equipment.
But in this world, a monk only needs a "rejuvenation technique" to heal external injuries, internal injuries and illnesses.
Of course, "Rejuvenation" is only a low-level spell. It is invincible against mortals, but for monks, it can only treat minor injuries. More serious injuries require stronger healing spells or elixirs.
This does not mean that the medicine of the previous life is completely useless. The research on the human body and pathology is more rigorous than that in the world of immortal cultivation.
The treatment methods in the world of immortal cultivation are more like metaphysics, while the medicine in the previous life is pragmatic, with a complete set of theories from the basics to the means of solving the problem.
What is more like metaphysics is the 'invisibility technique'. When Li Shiming learned this technique, he discovered the insignificance and powerlessness of mortals.
After performing the 'Invisibility Technique', ordinary people cannot see the monks at all, let alone become enemies with them.
If there is no way to break the "invisibility technique", a cultivator is invincible in the secular world, and even mortals won't even know how they died.
No wonder the Tianhai Sect sent Gu Jia to stay in Daxia. Without the suppression of the sect's monks, just one lawless independent cultivator could cause unimaginable damage to the mortal world.
"Congratulations, young master, for passing the imperial examination!" Mo Yan's voice came from outside the courtyard as he jogged outside the main room.
"Siqin, give him two taels of silver and tell him to stop shouting!" Li Shiming ordered Siqin outside the door.
"Young Master, your success in becoming a tribute scholar is a great joyous event. According to the rules of this mansion, we must reward everyone!" Siqin poked her head in and reminded with a smile.
"You go and take care of this matter, just don't disturb me!" Li Shiming waved his hand.
Siqin knew that the young master was cultivating immortals. No matter how he was doing, he never gave up studying. She was extremely happy.
"Young Master, the palace examination will be held in ten days, don't forget!" She reminded him again at the end.
Li Shiming nodded, thinking that after the palace examination, he would have less involvement with the secular world.
Time passed quickly, and the day of the palace examination arrived in a blink of an eye.
It was a sunny day. A group of tribute students dressed in Confucian robes, led by the imperial guards, came to the outside of the Fengtian Hall of the imperial palace.
These tribute scholars are the elites trained by Daxia in three years, and each one of them is a genius among geniuses.
But Li Shiming was still the most special one among them. He stood out among a group of tribute scholars, most of whom were in their thirties.
Li Shiming saw a figure next to the Fengtian Hall, and it turned out to be Gu Jia.
At this time, Gu Jia was also looking at him with a smile. In Gu Jia's eyes, his participation in the palace examination was just a young man's fun. It was not that Gu Jia looked down on the highest level of secular examination, but that he did not take it seriously at all.
Mastering the means to easily destroy mortals naturally puts monks in a superior position.
