Chapter 416: Zhen Chi is coming, follow you until you die

"Master Liu, I'm sorry to bother you so much."

In a specially set up courtyard in the imperial palace, Emperor Qizhi said with a smile on his face.

In order to facilitate his research on the Nine Dragons Golden Light Formation, Liu Qingming has been living in the Xia Dynasty Palace over the years.

Logically speaking, this is certainly not in compliance with secular laws.

It’s just that people cannot be generalized, and the same goes for rules.

Special matters must be handled specially; this is something that must and will happen.

Those who practice Taoism are different from ordinary people. Those who practice Qigong may find it difficult to resist the temptations of the mundane world and be greedy for the prosperity of the mortal world.

But this kind of thing is almost never seen among foundation-building cultivators.

The reason is very simple. Young foundation-building cultivators have a bright future, so they cannot afford to waste their time on cultivation.

As for the older foundation-building cultivators, if they want to enjoy something, they have probably already enjoyed it when they were young, and they really look down on ordinary rouge and powder.

Liu Qingming is undoubtedly the former.

He has almost always stayed in the Xia Dynasty palace over the years and rarely went out.

But during the Xia Dynasty, he solved a large number of problems for the Xia Dynasty.

The Xia Dynasty has announced "cooperation" with the Wanfa Alliance. As for how to cooperate, that is their business and others should not ask about it.

The name of the Wanfa Alliance is very useful. Even if a force that is not inferior to the Wanfa Alliance comes here occasionally, Liu Qingming will show up.

Once the identity of the Zhenchi disciple was revealed, he would bid farewell in a friendly and respectful manner and leave.

As I said, no matter how prosperous the Xia Dynasty was, in the eyes of those immortal cultivators it was just a secular dynasty with relatively good development.

It's just a secular dynasty, there are many more out there.

Even if the Xia Dynasty did not prosper, it would still affect the growth of spiritual treasures in other countries, right? It would be too unworthy to fight with the Wanfa League and the Zhenchi disciples for a mortal dynasty. Why bother yourself with troubles if you just change places? Xia Dynasty and Liu Qingming each got what they needed, and they got along quite well.

Liu Qingming had never made any rude requests to Xia Chao, and even Xia Chao's spiritual treasures were at their disposal.

It is precisely for this reason that Emperor Qizhi has a very good impression of Liu Qingming.

"Emperor Xia is here?"

Liu Qingming's face was slightly flushed, and he said directly: "When the flying boat breaks through the space, it may encounter space turbulence and lose communication.

However, considering my master's power and vehicle, there won't be any problems, it just might take a little longer."

He had vowed at the beginning that his master would be here in one or two years, but three years have passed and the time for a round trip is almost enough, but there is no sign of Zhen Chi.

It's impossible to say it wasn't embarrassing at all.

Perhaps they shouldn't have boasted so much in the first place. Now that they have been delayed, I'm afraid that Emperor Xia might underestimate them.

How embarrassing! "Master Liu has misunderstood. I am not here for this matter. Your master may have more important things to do. As for Xia Chao, he is here, so it doesn't matter if he comes late."

Emperor Qizhi certainly didn't come here to "question charges".

If possible, he would like all practitioners to die outside. No matter whether you are a formation fanatic or an elixir fanatic, you should never come to Xia Dynasty. How could he urge them?

"oh?"

Liu Qingming breathed a sigh of relief. "Could it be that another foundation-building cultivator has come to the Xia Dynasty?"

In recent years, since he appeared in the Xia Dynasty several times, the news has spread.

It has been a long time since anyone from other forces came to disturb us.

But there is no guarantee that there won’t be some young and incompetent people.

"No, no, it's just that Xia Chao is in trouble now, and I would like to ask Master Liu to help me solve my doubts. Is that possible?"

Qi Zhidi said eagerly.

"You can ask, if you can explain, I will tell you."

Liu Qingming said casually.

"Over the years, the Xia Dynasty has screened out thousands of people with spiritual roots."

Emperor Qizhi was clearly talking about good news, but there was no smile on his face, and he asked worriedly: "But people with spiritual roots have been found, and the Xia Dynasty has almost no way to cultivate them.

In fact, even the salaries of the Yulong Guards in the Xia Dynasty are becoming a problem, and the spiritual stocks are almost exhausted. However, there are endless new people who are hungry for food. "

The reason he came here today was to hear the opinions of Liu Haoran, who had a deeper understanding of the way of immortals and had the support of a powerful person.

Maybe the other party has a solution?

“That’s the question.”

Liu Qingming was stunned at first, then he started laughing.

It was no longer the gentle smile from before, but a very strange smile that was looking at Emperor Qizhi.

He did not mock him, but Emperor Qizhi's face turned red involuntarily.

"Emperor Xia, what do you think the immortal way is?"

Liu Qingming did not answer directly, but asked back.

Emperor Qizhi thought for a moment and said, "Transcendence? Not bound by shackles?"

"Yes and no. Ordinary cultivators, even if they are Yuanying masters, can move mountains and seas with a wave of their hands, but they are still under heaven and earth. If we really talk about transcendence, who dares to say that they have achieved the Tao and become an immortal?"

Liu Qingming sighed and said, "How many people can become immortals through cultivating immortals? The vast majority of people are just withered bones on the road to immortality, and it's nothing more than living longer or shorter.

If you really want to become an immortal, you may not be able to find one even if you search the whole world. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Master Liu, do you mean that cultivation is difficult?"

Emperor Qizhi continued with what he said.

"Yes. Talent, opportunity, and personal efforts are enough to keep most people out. Even if one is lucky enough to enter the immortal path, it is not necessarily a good thing."

Liu Qingming said: "For cultivators with superior spiritual roots, with the blessing of elixirs and the assistance of spiritual formations, it is not a problem to complete the foundation building in 10 to 20 years. For cultivators with middle-grade spiritual roots, it will take 30 to 40 years. As for cultivators with inferior spiritual roots, it may be difficult for them to build a foundation until their life span is almost over.

The difference in their talents is not as big as the difference in their cultivation speed, but the weaker one is, the slower his cultivation will be. "

"The strong always remain strong?"

Emperor Qizhi was the Emperor of Xia after all, and he immediately understood Liu Qingming's meaning.

"Yes. But not entirely."

Liu Qingming said: "In addition to the difference in talent, resources are also limited. It's easy to be rich, but what about not making ends meet? The people with superior spiritual roots eat, while the people with middle-level spiritual roots have to starve. This is an obvious thing.

Compared to the growth of the cultivators, the growth rate of the spiritual treasures is certainly not fast enough. Even with the help of great medicines, it is far from enough to support all the cultivators who have embarked on the path of cultivation."

At this point, Liu Qingming's face became serious, and he warned: "Xia Chao has done very well on the mundane level, and it can even be said that I have never seen such a great thing in my life, which is quite remarkable.

But want to achieve such an achievement in the way of immortality? Impossible, absolutely impossible! More than 500 Qi-cultivating monks who need to be supported are already stretched thin for the Xia Dynasty, and the foundation-building cost is something the Xia Dynasty can no longer afford at this time.

Of course, the Xia Dynasty has the legacy of Huashen Tianjun, and the elixir is produced on its own, so it is not a problem now.

But if those 500+ Qi training cultivators become 500+ foundation building cultivators, one great herb would not be enough.”

Liu Qingming shrugged slightly and said, "At this time, Emperor Xia is still thinking about other people in the Xia Dynasty who have the qualifications to practice? Could it be that Emperor Xia still wants the Xia Dynasty to be as powerful as the mortal world in the world of cultivation, where everyone has spiritual plants, everyone can practice immortality, and everyone has enough resources for cultivation? Even the Tianji Sect, which is famous for spying on the secrets of heaven and looking for opportunities, can't do this.

Emperor Xia asked me about this matter, and I had no idea what to do.

Unless Emperor Xia can plant the medicinal herbs throughout the entire Xia Dynasty, this problem will probably never be resolved.

Cultivating immortality is not something that can be accomplished simply by having food to eat."

Resources are limited.

Even if it can be planted continuously, theoretically it should not be difficult for it to continue to grow, but that is just a theory.

With too many people and too little food, some people will inevitably not have enough to eat.

Even though there is always food, is it true that there are no frozen corpses on the road?

The simplest and most practical way is to abandon a large number of people.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Cultivation is not a dream. There is no way to have everything.

A cultivator with superior spiritual roots, a cultivator with medium spiritual roots, and a cultivator with inferior spiritual roots. Assuming that they are the same in everything except their qualifications, and the resources are only enough to train one person, then no matter what choice is made, two people are destined to not get the food.

At this time, all ideals and beliefs are useless, this is the reality.

Of course you can choose whatever you want, but the result is actually determined.

"I see."

Emperor Qizhi lowered his head and said absentmindedly.

The vision of everyone being like a dragon and the whole country being monks is of course extremely wonderful.

It's so wonderful, like a dream.

It can only be a dream.

He got a rather cruel answer.

Moreover, he was destined to be unable to lead the Xia Dynasty to solve this problem.

All we can do is to be as fair as possible, select more candidates who are more suitable for the future development of the Xia Dynasty, and focus on training them.

In fact, other immortal sects also do this, even the nine major immortal sects do this without exception.

Any organization that dares to recruit every qualified cultivator it sees is either a poor and empty-talking organization with nothing, or it has its head stuck in the door.

The nine great immortal sects don't dare to do this. What status do you have in the Xia Dynasty, and yet you want to take all the cultivators into your pocket? Do you really think that the immortal way is the same as the mundane way?

"but."

As soon as the words were spoken, Liu Qingming looked at the disappointment on Emperor Qizhi's old face and still felt a little bit reluctant.

Although it's a wild idea, it's good to have this intention.

"Emperor Xia doesn't need to be too disappointed. The world is becoming more and more active now, and the spiritual plants are born at this time, which is just a little side dish.

After waiting a few more years, spiritual veins will surely appear, and even blessed lands and caves will appear, and the creation of heaven and earth will be revealed to the world.

If the Xia Dynasty could occupy a spiritual vein, it would not be difficult to support some foundation-building monks, and the demand for spiritual treasures would not be as great as it is now. If a blessed land could be obtained, golden elixir monks could also be recruited and trained.

This is the proper way to cultivate immortality. If you want to treat a country as an immortal sect, it would be too arrogant. "

Liu Qingming warned again: "However, there are many people who want these things, and they are no longer like spiritual plants, which disappear after being eaten.

As for the chickens that lay eggs, the more places they have, the more resources they have. It is never too much. Emperor Xia should make his own decision."

It's just an ordinary spiritual plant, so just eat it. If it's not easy to deal with, it's just a matter of giving it some face. It's not worth fighting for life and death.

However, spiritual veins and blessed places are enough to determine the future of a sect. They are as precious as medicated medicines, but their effects are different.

There are countless sects that have fought to the death for a great medicine, or even a spiritual vein or a blessed cave. There are also many cultivators who have formed lifelong feuds for this and come back for revenge after more than a hundred years.

Even the nine major immortal sects are competing for it, so you can imagine how precious and important it is.

The things are very good, and other people are not stupid, so why should it be your turn? Things passed down from your ancestors may not be useful, let alone opportunities from heaven and earth that need to be fought for? In Liu Qingming's opinion, Xia Chao was thinking too much about this.

That is to say, there is the legacy of Huashen Tianjun here, and he wanted to give face to Huashen Tianjun, whom he had never met. Otherwise, he would not bother to say so much.

"In that case, thank you Master Liu for telling me."

Emperor Qizhi clasped his fists and bowed, his originally disappointed expression gradually becoming resolute.

"If you follow me again, I'll beat you to death!"

On an uninhabited island, Zhen Chi looked coldly at the woman who had a young face but an exceptionally pert figure, which was quite inconsistent with her appearance, and said angrily. The woman was dozens of miles away from him.

"I can't go where you can? Yuantian Realm is your home?

Or is the Tianyan Sect planning to expel all the cultivators from the Yuantian Realm and monopolize it?"

The woman put her hands on her hips, looked very mature and spoke without any fear.

The two of them were clearly separated by dozens of miles, but it did not affect their communication at all.

Even each other's expressions and tones can be clearly seen.

At least the woman could clearly see that Zhen Chi's eyebrows were raised high and he couldn't suppress them.

And his hands began to tremble with anger.

Hehe, I just like the way you can’t stand me but can’t do anything about me! “Yes! Yao! Invite!”

Zhen Chi spoke each word with great rage, "The disciples of Tianji Sect all deserve a beating!"

As he spoke, countless array patterns were imprinted on heaven and earth, and the stars within a radius of dozens of miles shifted in an instant.

Fires rose, thunder roared, hurricanes howled, icy rain fell like hemp, and earth and rocks formed into pillars. However, Ying Yaoyao seemed to have been prepared. She moved like a dragon, not getting touched by a single leaf. Without any movement, she ran out of the range of the formation.

"Why are you in such a hurry again?"

Ying Yaoyao tilted his head to look at him, "Are you anxious? Could it be that the thing you came here to find will run away by itself? Or is it that the thing is very conspicuous and easy to be exposed, and you don't have the confidence to protect it?"

The Tianji Sect is good at more than just calculations.

His methods of specifically hitting people where it hurts are top-notch.

After all, the time when a person can least control himself is when he exposes his emotions.

"You've been following me for two years!"

Zhen Chi gnashed his teeth, "I can't be impatient?"

"It's only been two years. I'm still young!"

Ying Yaoyao pinched her own face, which was particularly tender and had a bit of baby fat, making her look like a pretty girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. She proudly puffed out her oversized chest and said, "I can follow you until you die!"
