Chapter 272 An invitation, a deal

Now that they are unable to test their own qualifications, the masters are not disappointed. According to Tao Shushan, even at the worst, they have low-grade spiritual roots and can cultivate immortals without any worries.

What is really worth noting is what Tao Shushan said before.

"Heading to Buzhou Mountain? Outsiders are welcome there?"

Xun Ke asked first.

"Daoyou is very smart."

Tao Shushan nodded without hesitation and said, "Buzhou Mountain welcomes anyone with a talent for cultivation."

Hearing that decisive voice, all the masters looked at each other, and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

The Grandmaster is not a three-year-old child. Even if a huge pie is placed before his eyes, it is impossible for him to lose his mind immediately. After decades of ups and downs in the world, the years have already brought them too much experience. They understand very well that some overly generous conditions often have big pits waiting behind them.

When a spiritual stone fell from the sky, how many incidents did it cause? Could it be that the mountain range over there is at your disposal? When did spiritual energy become so cheap that everything that can be used can be used?

If he said that because the Buzhou Mountains have five spiritual energy sources, the spiritual energy is endless and he can't use it all, so he wants to give it to the people... Ha, bullshit! I'm afraid only a child with an immature mind would have such an idea!

Even among the wealthy businessmen, who have so much wealth that they cannot spend it all in several lifetimes, how many people are willing to give it out and give it to those in need sincerely without asking for anything in return? They would rather let their wealth rot in the warehouse!

Not to mention, spiritual energy is something of vital importance to the path to immortality.

Without spiritual energy, no matter how talented you are in practicing, it is useless.

With the help of spiritual energy, there will definitely be those with extraordinary talents who will be able to catch up, which will directly threaten the status of those who have the first-mover advantage!

This is not some childish game. It's no big deal if you surpass me or I surpass you. It's a matter of life and death. Even in the martial arts, it's not uncommon for people to come from behind and then be severely punished or even killed.

Judging from worldly experience, it is not possible to completely seal off this situation, so the strongest person should take the lead, establish an organization, and then directly "rule the king of the mountain" and exclude outsiders.

Even if someone went through great trouble to run over there, they could only watch helplessly.

If there really is someone who is difficult to deal with, the worst that can happen is that we can just lure them in and become part of the same evildoers.

After the organization has fully grown to the point where no one can easily challenge it, they will relax the conditions a little bit and recruit qualified people from outside to work them like cattle and horses. They will then arrange a set of complicated and harsh conditions for promotion, leaving only a few tiny opportunities for later generations to be promoted, which will actually cause them to suffer for a lifetime.

In this way, one can not only guarantee one's own position but also have sufficient control, thus reducing the possibility of being overtaken by others.

If we really follow the laws of development in the world, this choice is undoubtedly the most in line with the actual situation.

Every master present here has rich experience and at least has witnessed the fall of a country. If they can't even figure out something like this, they would have died several times over.

It is human nature that they do not hesitate to use the greatest malice to speculate about a looming behemoth!

It's okay to confuse ordinary people with average minds if there's pie falling from the sky, but it's probably not that easy to make a master lose his mind.

The scene suddenly became quiet for a moment.

No one asked any more questions. Each master made eye contact and saw the suspicion in the other's eyes.

There was no other reason. The phrase "Buzhou Mountain welcomes anyone with a talent for cultivation" was really worthy of their suspicion! Don't say that spiritual energy was originally an ownerless thing created by heaven and earth. It was all bullshit.

Spiritual energy is directly related to the most fundamental power. It is more precious than gold, silver, jewelry, and even everything in the world! No matter how much of this kind of thing you have, it is difficult to share it with outsiders! Before those guys who have the first-mover advantage have fully grown up, they should be extremely exclusive. Only after they have eaten the full pot will they let a little slip through their fingers.

How is it possible to invite like-minded people like this?

Unless the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is fully revived, there will be no competitors in the Buzhou Mountains, the only place in the world where people can practice cultivation. "Are you confused?"

Tao Shushan saw that the atmosphere had become somewhat cold, but he knew why it was so, and he explained, "You don't know that the Tao of Immortality is more than a hundred times more difficult and obscure than the Tao of Martial Arts. When practicing Martial Arts, most of the time you only look at yourself. Even if you need others, it's mostly through food supplements and medicinal baths. Even without these two things, you can still become a Grandmaster."

"but!"

Tao Shushan changed the subject and continued, "The immortal path is different! There are so many paths to the immortal path, and how long it is! It is not uncommon to see situations where one person cannot support the whole thing. For example, there are hundreds of arts in the immortal path, and the most famous ones should be alchemy, talisman drawing, array formation, and weapon refining. No matter which of these four, it is obvious that the improvement of the cultivator himself is achieved.

Unfortunately, not everyone has such talent. Many people who have the qualifications to practice cultivation but want to master the special skills of the immortal way end up losing more than they gain because they lack talent.

After the chaos following the collapse of Mount Zhou, the Buzhou Mountains have existed in the mortal world for more than forty years. However, most of the cultivators there can only practice on their own and master some basic skills. They cannot make any progress and their practice progress is quite slow.

If you want to see the grand scene of the immortal path, there are too few cultivators in the Buzhou Mountains! It is extremely difficult to even gather the most basic four arts of cultivating immortals, let alone the more complicated art of cultivating immortals? That is why we have to recruit fellow Taoists to reproduce the grand scene of the immortal path in the world. This requires the joint efforts of countless Taoist friends, otherwise how dare we call it the immortal court in the world? In addition, we also hope that there are Taoist friends with great talents who can discuss the way forward with everyone. Although the immortal path has been reproduced in the world, it does not mean that the immortal path has really come. Many realms can only be glimpsed in the classics, but it is extremely difficult to put them into practice.

Isn't it wonderful for everyone to gather together and share their experiences in spiritual practice regularly, so that their thoughts can collide, inspire each other, and thrive? "

This long speech somewhat answered the doubts in the minds of the Xia Dynasty masters.

But whether one is truly convinced or not is a matter of opinion.

But at least there was no dull moment this time.

"I see. Those Taoist friends in Buzhou Mountain are really generous. They make us ashamed."

A master said immediately.

"How could that be true? The path to immortality has just been restored to the human world not long ago. What is needed is the joint efforts of everyone. It is definitely not something that can be monopolized by a small group of people. A turtle in a pond cannot become a real dragon.

You are all masters, so I won't say those nice words here. Ask yourself, how many masters can a country have? Compared to the testing like pulling children one by one and looking for a needle in a haystack, the master is the key person who can practice directly, and it is not so easy to stop the master.

Rather than cherishing what we have and causing more casualties, it is better to give the Grandmaster some face and work together to promote it."

Tao Shushan seemed to be in a position to be frank and honest.

Although the immortal path is good, it does not mean that those who practice immortality at a low level can crush those who practice martial arts.

Grandmasters are the people at the top of the world and are definitely not ants.

For ordinary people, they can take whatever they want, manipulate, flatten and round them at will, but if they want to play the same trick on the Grandmaster, do they really think that the Grandmaster's disaster is a joke? In the final analysis, in the past thirty years, no strong man who can subdue all the Grandmasters in the world and make them dare not act rashly has been born in the Buzhou Mountains.

Instead of challenging all the masters in the world who want to become immortals, it is better to win them over directly.

Anyway, at most, how many grandmasters are there?

Even as powerful as the Xia Dynasty was at that time, there were only nine emperors at most - two of whom were buried up to their necks in the earth!

Opening the door of convenience for the Grand Master is a win-win situation for you, me and everyone involved.

"I still have to accept this favor."

Qing Pingzi smiled and said casually: "Then I wonder how long it will take for us to reach the Buzhou Mountains?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's ears pricked up.

Even Gu Dan glanced sideways.

How far is the Buzhou Mountains from the Xia Dynasty? The only one who knew this news was the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce.

"According to the Grandmaster's speed, if there is no delay along the way and we travel at full speed, it will probably take about ten years."

Tao Shushan said directly.

"ten years?!"

The two masters' faces immediately darkened.

Ten years is not particularly long for a grandmaster.

But the problem is, the two of them are almost at the end of their lives, so how can they afford to spend ten years on the journey? ! "That's right."

Tao Shushan sighed and said, "The universe is so vast that even a master cannot reach it. However, if the formation masters in the Immortal Court can study the method of moving formations in the future, the time required for traveling will definitely be greatly reduced. Maybe some of you here have the talent of a formation master?"

The two masters stopped talking and their faces turned pale.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The most painful thing in the world is that hope appears in front of you, but there is no time to reach out and grab it.

He was clearly a master standing at the pinnacle of the world, but he could only wait for death!

This road, the old master, is destined to die halfway! On the contrary, Qingpingzi finally felt relieved.

His life span was about to end, but he used the power of that bone to force himself to transform and live for several dozen more years.

Although the immortals had not yet returned, there was already a path to immortality in the human world! These extra decades gave him the opportunity to make a small investment for a big gain.

If I can achieve more in the way of immortality, how can I know that I can't extend my lifespan again? Even if the immortals don't return, people can still save themselves! "I see, thank you for your explanation. Why don't you let me see the rare treasures that Master Tao found from other countries?"

Wang Mang, who had not interrupted the conversation until now, interrupted the conversation about Taoism at the right time. If they continued talking, the two masters of the Xia Dynasty would have lost their Taoism and might have died on the spot.

“It’s natural.”

Tao Shushan readily followed the advice and nodded immediately. This was the real thing for which he had worked so hard and ran so far. He clapped his hands lightly.

Behind him, a group of warriors from the International Chamber of Commerce came over carrying boxes.

They literally "carry" everything with them. After all, any one of their goods would be priceless if thrown into the secular world, and they cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Tao Shushan took a box from the servant, opened it, and revealed the contents.

Inside the treasure chest that was carried so carefully, there were actually large areas of black soil!

And in the black soil, there are three delicate-looking pocket-sized flowers, about the size of an ordinary person's thumb, taking root. They look quite cute.

"These are three stalks of Shengyan Flowers. There were originally seven, but they have all been traded. These are the only three left in the caravan."

Tao Shushan said: "This flower is extremely magical. After taking it, a person's appearance can return to youth for nearly thirty years! It is generally used for people who are a little older."

"It's been nearly thirty years since you returned to your original appearance?"

After hearing it clearly, the two masters who were originally quite disappointed couldn't help but ask another question.

"Yes."

Tao Shushan nodded gently, "It can only restore one's appearance, it does not really increase one's lifespan, nor does it really make one regain thirty years of youth."

"What good is it then?"

The two masters, who thought they saw hope, disagreed.

How many masters care about appearance?

It does not benefit one's strength at all, although its effectiveness is indeed somewhat amazing, but that's it.

Tao Shushan said nothing, but just looked at Wang Mang with a smile.

This thing was not originally prepared for people who don't care about their appearance. To be more precise, this thing was for the emperor to see.

There is a saying: Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world.

Although the emperor has three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, is it possible that he is not a lovelorn man? Didn’t the four Shengyan flowers in front find buyers?

Even if you don’t need it, you can give it to the people you care about!

As expected, Wang Mang's gaze lingered on Sheng Yanhua for a long time.

Xu Wanrong is old.

Although she didn't say it herself, she would subconsciously cover her face when she saw Gu Dan in the Imperial Garden.

Youth is gone, good times are fleeting, but old friends remain the same, how can I not be sad?

There are few women who do not care about their appearance, even if they do not rely on their appearance to make a living. Everyone has a desire for beauty.

But, this thing is a rare treasure.

It's about exchanging things for things.

Money can't buy it! There is only one kind of rare treasure in the Xia Dynasty, and the quantity is not large. Is it too extravagant?

"Let's take a look at the others."

Wang Mang still shifted his gaze away from Sheng Yanhua and spoke calmly.

"good."

Tao Shushan did not try to sell anything. He took another box honestly and revealed the contents.

In an instant, the room is filled with fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"This is a calming incense. Once it is lit, its effectiveness is a hundred times greater. It can calm the mind and make people feel refreshed. It is one of the rare treasures."
