In the 6122nd year of the Xia calendar, Kangxi Province
was one of the poorest provinces in China. It was located inland, with mountains everywhere and barren land. Its economic level was nearly a hundred times worse than that of the best coastal provinces in China.
Kangxi Province was the most famous for its poverty in China, but it had improved a lot in recent years because the Chinese government had discovered a lot of resources and minerals for cultivating immortals in Kangxi Province. The economy of Kangxi Province had made great progress in recent years.
Today, the Kangxi Provincial No. 1 Middle School was crowded with people. Not only did all the teachers and students of the school gather in the playground, but teachers and students from other middle schools also kept pouring in, filling the No. 1 Middle School.
"When will Senior Ning Li arrive? I saw some bigwigs from the province have arrived."
"Senior Ning Li returned to Kangxi last night, and even the governor went to pick him up. He might not have gotten up yet."
"How is that possible? Senior Ning Li has reached the Jindan level. He could have gone without food and drink a long time ago. I heard that a Jindan senior would not die even if he did not eat, drink or sleep for ten years."
"I want to be a Jindan. It would be so cool to be a Jindan. Think about Senior Ning Li. He was awarded a house when he entered the cultivation academy. After he built his foundation, he was awarded a large flat. After he became a Jindan, he was awarded a villa. These houses alone are nothing."
"In the past, only those who entered the cultivation academy could get these. Not now. Not even those who built their foundation can get so many rewards. Alas, we were born too late. If only we had been born a few decades earlier."
The students from a middle school in the audience were discussing what was happening. They were talking about today's protagonist, whose name was Ning Li. He was a graduate of a middle school. He was not one of the first batch of cultivation students in China, but he came from behind and his cultivation speed was advancing by leaps and bounds. Now he is one of the top ten Jindan in China.
The ten great golden elixirs in China did not hold any specific positions, but were attached to the military. However, each of them had extremely high honors. The Chinese government repeatedly bombarded them with propaganda, and they were the most famous cultivators in China.
Amid the discussion, a flying machine slowly descended from the sky. The blue fluorescent flying machine immediately attracted everyone's attention. This flying machine was specially awarded to them by the Chinese government. Except for some special areas, it can be unimpeded and ignore the no-fly regulations without worrying about being shot down.
Ning Li walked down from the flying machine, and countless pairs of eyes focused on him. Ning Li was not shy, as he was no longer the bumpkin student from a peasant family.
Ning Li walked to the middle, refused the microphone handed over by others, and began his speech calmly. His voice was not loud, but it could be accurately heard by everyone.
The content of the speech was nothing surprising. He just talked about his time in No. 1 Middle School, how he seized the opportunity when facing the cultivation that had just appeared at that time, how he worked harder and more diligently than others, and then talked about some things he had killed monsters in various places.
By the way, he mentioned the miserable situation in other countries. Ordinary people have become blood food for monsters. There have even been cases where hundreds of thousands of people in a city have been eaten. He called on his juniors to study hard, practice hard, and either become scientists or immortals, or both, to protect China and the people.
After the speech, Ning Li left No. 1 Middle School under the gaze of everyone, took a flying vehicle, and came to a mine in Kangxi Province. He went to No. 1 Middle School to give a speech, which was by the way.
His mission here is to get the rich mineral resources in Kangxi Province. In the future, he will be stationed in the southwest of China, responsible for eliminating the monsters here and disposing of the minerals here.
"Sir, I have arrived at the Dingxi Lingshi Mine in Kangxi."
After a while, he took out the communicator and a video was projected in front of him, with Lin Jiang's face on it.
"How is the quality of the Dingxi Lingshi Mine?"
Lin Jiang said. The Dingxi Lingshi Mine was a new mine discovered last year and only started production two months ago.
"It's of high quality, and it's an open-pit mine. I checked the data and found that high-quality spirit stones have appeared, and the proportion is not low."
"That's good. Dingxi Spirit Stone Mine, you have to guard it well. I will send someone to help you."
"Yes, sir. In addition, the demon tribe in the southwest has made some unusual movements. I'm afraid that a fourth-level demon beast will appear."
"Don't worry, there will be no fourth-level demon beasts in China. If they appear, they will die soon."
"That's good, sir,"
Ning Li said, and talked about some business details. He turned off the video communication.
Ning Li looked at the mountains in the distance and couldn't help but think of the past. In Kangxi Provincial No. 1 Middle School, he was indeed a genius who surpassed all the heroes. But when he entered the cultivation academy, he realized that his talent was nothing. There were people who were more talented than him, and they worked harder and had better family backgrounds than him.
No matter how hard he tried, he could only get to the middle level until the cultivation level arrived. The first was foundation building, and the second was Dan formation.
It was OK when he was building the foundation. He got the foundation pill with his own efforts. But after building the foundation, the resource consumption increased exponentially, and the little resources issued by the school were not enough.
So a noble man appeared and began to support him, so that he could continue to be qualified to chase the footsteps of those peerless geniuses. In the late stage of building the foundation, he learned the reason why the noble man supported him, that is, his family had worked for one person for generations, and worked on the farm under the name of that person,
so he was given a chance. And to form a pill, he must show his loyalty. Ning Li chose to be loyal to that person without hesitation, got the treasure of forming a pill, and broke through in one fell swoop, becoming the tenth Jindan cultivator in China.
After becoming a Jindan cultivator, he was very arrogant for a while, thinking that those consortiums in China were nothing special. Fortunately, he was arrogant, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Later, he learned some secrets of the noble man, and he completely put away his thoughts.
"Being a chess piece is pretty good. Others want to be chess pieces, but they are not qualified."
Until now, Ning Li often comforted himself. The nobleman was very generous. As long as he did not betray, he would give him wealth and honor at will. Others wanted to be chess pieces of the nobleman but they were not qualified.
·········
In the Endless Sea,
the archipelago in the south used to be a tourist destination, but now the humans on it have basically disappeared. Except for a few islands still in human hands, the others have become a paradise for monsters.
"Bang"
On the sea, the sea water exploded, and a figure appeared. His hand turned into a monster claw, and he was holding a dragon. He landed on an island and threw the dragon to the ground.
"How about it, are you convinced, King Jiao?"
"Feng Shisan, I am convinced, but you are from the Phoenix clan, and I am the overlord of the sea, you and I are not the same..."
"Humans classify Jiao as an amphibious animal, it can survive in water, on land and in the air"
"I, I, I am a sea snake that became a Jiao..."
"Well, since you are unwilling to obey my orders, I have no choice but to skin you and dismember you. A sea snake that becomes a Jiao also has the blood of a Jiaolong. I'll go to the mainland to find some snake monsters. I'm sure they are very interested in your blood and essence."
"No, no, no, isn't it okay for me to listen to you?"
Upon hearing this, the King Jiao's face changed drastically, and he quickly changed his words.
"That's right, the monster clan is originally a family, there is no difference between land and water, right?"
"Yes, yes, King Feng, you are right"
The King Jiao smiled, a good monster will not suffer a loss in front of it, what you say is what it is.
"Since you have given up, I will not sign a master-servant contract with you. Jiao Wang, I will teach you the secrets of the dragon clan. After you learn it, you must quickly recover the monsters within tens of thousands of miles of your territory."
"Dragon clan secrets, how can you..."
"Do you want it?"
"Yes, yes,"
Jiao Wang said hurriedly. He was shocked. How could Feng Shisan, a demon king of the Phoenix clan, know the secrets of the dragon clan? Aren't monsters inherited by blood? Could it be that the Phoenix clan and the Dragon clan had a marriage?
Feng Shisan didn't have time to explain. In the inheritance of the Demon God Temple, there were dozens of inheritances of exotic beasts and divine beasts. He stopped at the sixteenth place and did not learn all of them, but there was also the inheritance of the dragon clan.
After Feng Shisan taught the secrets, he also reminded Jiao Wang of many things, such as keeping a low profile and trying not to attack human merchant ships to avoid attracting attacks from the human race. There were also masters hiding on the human side, and Jiao Wang's cultivation at the beginning of the fourth level could not save his life.
Feng Shisan then left. He flew very low, because if he flew too high, he would be easily detected by radar. This was a skill he learned from the human race.
"I have conquered six of the nine demon kings in the Endless Sea. Don't let the remaining three go."
Feng Shisan thought of the news he had heard from other demon kings. A few years ago, demons from all over the world almost crossed the calamity at the same time, which attracted the attack of the human race. At that time, all the demons who crossed the calamity died, and none of them were left.
Then they learned to be smart and knew to hide, and wait until there were strong winds and waves, thunder and lightning, and then break through, so that the human race could not find them.
Relying on this trick, nine demon beasts in the Endless Sea successfully crossed the calamity within a few years, achieved the fourth-level demon realm, and dominated a sea area.
After Feng Shisan left Zhou Liao's Yunmeng Nature Reserve, he came to the Endless Sea to make plans, because he found that the monsters in Shenzhou were not only hit very hard, but also divided and surrounded. It was useless to connect them together. The monsters in those places in Yingzhou were connected together, but it was a pity that it was useless for him to unify them. What he wanted was Zhou Liao's territory, which was the ancestral home of their monster clan.
