“The low-grade spiritual veins discovered in Yuzhou and Yingzhou have caused conflicts with at least four waves of immortal cultivators so far, including two large-scale fights, with more than ten Fish Dragon Guards lost.
Although the lower-grade spiritual veins in the interior of Yuzhou have not yet come into direct conflict with immortal cultivators, people often go to explore them, which is very annoying. "
In the Gu family courtyard, Zheng Fei, who received the news from the court, looked solemn and recited in a cold voice.
Since the death of Emperor Qizhi, the new emperor ascended the throne.
No matter what important events happened in the Xia Dynasty, a copy would be sent to the Gu family courtyard.
Zheng Fei held the document and read it again.
The explanation is also very simple.
He was a talented person of the Xia Dynasty whom Emperor Qizhi was very optimistic about. He was also the first proud son of the Xia Dynasty to successfully join the Tianji Sect, one of the nine immortal sects.
The new emperor has just ascended the throne, but he is still young and needs the care and guidance of the Xia Dynasty elders.
The affairs of the court are managed by the Confucianists, Mohists and Legalists. It is not a bad idea for the new emperor to be a mascot for the time being, so there is no need to worry.
However, matters involving immortal cultivators are no longer within the control of the current three schools of Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism.
That would require the joint efforts of the Fish and Dragon Guards and every talented person who still identifies with the Xia Dynasty even in the midst of the heyday of immortality.
The old emperor has passed away and the new Emperor Xia has not yet grown up. At this time, we need to work together.
Judging from Emperor Qizhi's style of doing things and his last wishes before his death, the spiritual plants and veins outside the Xia Dynasty should be ignored, as long as the Xia Dynasty stays within the law.
However, the spiritual plants and spiritual veins nurtured within the Xia Dynasty should belong to the Xia Dynasty.
As the saying goes: All under heaven belongs to the king!
It would be fine if the Xia Dynasty did not rob others, but how could it not even protect its own things? Why did the late emperor issue a self-blame edict when he was on the throne and dying?
Isn't it because the Xia Dynasty didn't have enough resources to share, so they felt guilty?
In this case, how dare they give up the spiritual veins within the Xia Dynasty for people to practice! That is why when someone wants to seize the spiritual veins, the Yulong Guards are ruthless and show no mercy.
Clashes involving real anger had occurred several times in a short period of time, and even dozens of Fish Dragon Guards had been killed.
Judging from the results, the Xia Dynasty did indeed protect its own spiritual veins.
But Zheng Fei was not happy at all.
Putting aside the question of whether those immortal cultivators who escaped hold a grudge, the key point is that each wave of guys who came to the Xia Dynasty to rob the spiritual veins were not the same group!
This is what is most worrying.
The spiritual vein is there and cannot be moved, which is different from the spiritual plant.
Moreover, now is the time when the changes in heaven and earth are increasing rapidly, the spiritual energy is fluctuating greatly, and the spiritual veins are also gradually growing, so it is impossible to really conceal it.
If you want to occupy the spiritual vein, you must display your presence clearly, there is no place to hide.
The key is that it is not enough to defeat one group of people, there are always new monks coming to fight. Xia Chao does not have overwhelming power, and with such consumption, the Yulong Guards can't stand it!
Zheng Fei frowned deeply, and his eyes couldn't help but look at another figure in the yard.
The person was wearing a white embroidered dress, an outfit that could not be simpler, but it made her look even more holy. Her skin was as white as jade with a healthy rosy glow, and her three thousand black hair was simply tied into a ponytail behind her back, and it was shiny and smooth.
Although I could only see the side, I could not avoid glancing at the bulging chest, which looked like a mountain from the front and a peak from the side, holding up the silver-white embroidery high, like fully bloomed petals.
As if she had sensed his pleading gaze, Ying Yaoyao turned around, revealing a face that was extremely delicate yet a bit childish. She was chewing an unknown pastry in her cherry-like mouth, and her flexible tongue gently licked the corner of her lips, sweeping away the residue.
She stretched out her delicate little hand calmly, and after wiping it on her lips again in a very heroic manner, she jumped and jumped onto the swing that had been hung on a willow branch in the yard at some point in time.
The slender and smooth calf kicked lightly on the ground, causing the swing to sway, and the light sound followed.
"Why are you looking at me? There's no point in looking at me."
Ying Yaoyao was swinging on the swing, shrugging slightly, and said innocently: "If I don't show up, Xia Chao can still handle it on its own. If I show up, Xia Chao will really be in big trouble!"
Zheng Fei: “.”
This is indeed a fact.
It’s not that the reputation of the nine great immortal sects doesn’t work, but that it works too well.
The Tianji Sect, in particular, is well-known in the world of immortal cultivation.
When it comes to discovering opportunities, no one is better than the Tianji Sect.
Indeed, it was a very easy thing for the Xia Dynasty to use the name of Tianji Sect to block the covetousness of those small fish and shrimps outside.
With the protection of the Tianji Sect, even if they were brave enough, they would not dare to fight for the Xia Dynasty's inferior spiritual veins.
Then what? Tianji Sect didn't care about other places, but Xia Dynasty? Or did the Saint of Tianji take action personally?
It was clear that the Xia Dynasty had something! The small fish and shrimps really didn't dare to bother them anymore, because bigger ones were coming.
At that time, the Xia Dynasty had to face the geniuses from the other nine immortal sects.
Just like Ying Yaoyao is not afraid of Zhen Chi, could it be that the geniuses from the other nine immortal sects would be afraid of the Saint Girl Tianji?
By then, with all the twists and turns, the Xia Dynasty, which is at the center of the storm, will only suffer a hundred times more.
Therefore, even though there was a relationship with the Saint Maiden of Tianji, the Xia Dynasty was unable to use it at all.
Otherwise, it would be like trying to cover up one's own faults and questioning the reputation that the Tianji Sect has spent tens of thousands of years to build in the world of immortal cultivation.
In other words: The Tianji Sect is first-rate in seizing opportunities, but taking advantage of opportunities will make them the target of public criticism.
Who made the Tianji Sect always snatch the opportunities from other families?
All we can say is that cause and effect will always prevail and retribution will come.
The Tianji Sect without a base is the strongest Tianji Sect.
If you have concerns, you will inevitably be restrained and it will be detrimental to your practice.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Tianji Sect rarely recruits disciples and never expands on a large scale.
The increase in the number of people in the Tianji Sect may not be a good thing for the entire cultivation world, and the same goes for oneself. It’s enough.
They were snatching and occupying things, their greed was really ugly. The Tianji Sect still knew the limits, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago.
"Is there any other solution to this problem?"
Zheng Fei understood the reason, but still couldn't help asking.
There was indeed a person in the Xia Dynasty who was of the same level as Ying Yaoyao.
The problem is that he chose the Tianji Sect.
There is no way to get involved with Zhen Chi anymore.
As for the "favor" of studying the Xia Dynasty's imperial palace formations, it was not their turn to question whether Formation Chi acknowledged it or not.
If Zhen Chi didn't speak up, Xia Chao had no reason to convince Zhen Chi to protect Xia Chao.
They were not related to each other, and it was good enough that the other party did not covet Xia Chao's medicine. He even wanted him to help? He was thinking too much.
"I'm afraid not."
Ying Yaoyao shook his head, his bright eyes flickering, and said seriously: "Xia Chao should be able to handle these small things."
"Little things"
Zheng Fei smiled bitterly.
What was a small matter for the Saint Maiden of Tianji was a huge trouble for the Xia Dynasty.
If we are not careful, we may suffer heavy losses or even face the danger of national destruction.
But if we give the spiritual vein to someone else, there will be no conflict, but how is that different from destroying the country? When the immortals come, if we can't even seize our own opportunities, how can we talk about making the Xia Dynasty as strong as the ordinary world in the world of immortal cultivation? It's a dilemma, and we have to rely on ourselves in the end.
"I'm going to the palace."
Zheng Fei, who was ready, left the courtyard.
After witnessing his departure, the belt around Ying Yaoyao's waist fluttered, and the 108 inscriptions of heavenly principles shone brightly.
As the light flowed, a talisman for saving the world appeared.
It was the sign of [Mortal to Immortal] that was branded with the Fiery Sun Chrysanthemum.
A good sign without a doubt.
And under the Heavenly Talisman of Crossing the World, there are three seals of revealing the world floating in the air.
One is a cliff.
One is a mountain peak.
One is a white crane.
"The Xia Dynasty's national fortune was turning misfortune into fortune, and there was no danger of collapse."
Ying Yaoyao waved her slender hand lightly, and the Inscription of Heavenly Principle was tied around her waist again, as if nothing had happened.
She had already divined for the Xia Dynasty, but the result was the same every time.
This shows that the Xia Dynasty was blessed with great fortune.
After all, it was a place once favored by the God of Transformation. How could it be destroyed so easily?
Who knows, after experiencing this disaster, one can be reborn from the ashes.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
That's why she didn't want to get involved.
If we really want to solve the problem here, we can just call on any sect that has a close relationship with the Tianji Sect to come and protect Xia Chao, such as the Xuantian Sect that Xia Chao had contacted before.
It’s not that the Tianji Sect really can’t help.
But if you have already seen the secret, you should either not do it or do it thoroughly, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
Before the secret is revealed, it is very easy for a small change to affect the entire situation, causing complications and changing the situation.
Since it is a good omen, there is no need to bother her to take action, so as not to end up making things worse.
When it comes to observing the secrets of heaven, Zheng Fei is still too young to know that everything has a price tag.
Temporary convenience is not necessarily a good thing.
"Just let me see the potential of Xia Dynasty."
Ying Yaoyao's slender, tender and round little hands supported her delicate face with a little baby fat, and there was a hint of curiosity and exploration in her eyes.
"What kind of potential does a mortal country have that can imprint two world-transcending talismans in an imperial capital? Can it shine the same light in the immortal world?"
Ying Yaoyao tilted his head and thought for a long time.
The time since the last time the country existed as an immortal dynasty is now history, even for the nine great immortal sects.
And it is history that cannot be talked about.
In the 159th year of the Xia Dynasty, a few months after Emperor Qizhi's death.
From time to time, cultivators would break into the Xia Dynasty and head straight for the spiritual veins.
The Yulong Guards had many conflicts with them.
Always win.
For cultivators, flying in the sky and hiding in the ground are common, but they are hard to guard against.
Ordinary armies are helpless; only monks can defeat monks.
But the price is not cheap.
In just one year, the Yulong Guards were reduced from more than 500 to more than 300.
Of course, someone will fill the vacancies later. After all, what the Xia Dynasty lacks is not people with the qualifications to practice cultivation, but cultivators who belong to the Xia Dynasty and have enough strength to fight against foreign enemies.
However, the monks who were added later still needed time to practice and grow, and could not directly serve as combat forces for the time being. This is different from ordinary wars.
In the world of cultivating immortals, once a sect has been massacred, it is almost impossible for it to make a comeback. This is the reason.
The Xia Dynasty lasted 160 years.
After a year of hard work by the Yulong Guards, Xia Dynasty finally gained some fame in the world of immortal cultivation.
No longer "a mere mundane dynasty".
But it was "a secular dynasty with some strength."
This year, no one, not just anyone, wanted to occupy the spiritual vein belonging to the Xia Dynasty.
Those who came were from small immortal sects with some strength, and most of them brought people with them after they had established their foundation.
When the winter of one hundred and sixty years passed, of the five foundation-building masters that the Xia Dynasty had worked so hard to gather, only two were left, and both were seriously injured.
Of the original 300-odd Fish Dragon Guards, only about 100 were left.
The only piece of news, which I don’t know whether it can be considered good news or not, is that the Xia Dynasty has managed to protect its own spiritual veins for the time being.
But this price "can't go on like this."
In the palace, Zheng Fei said with a livid face.
He originally thought that as long as the Xia Dynasty showed enough strength, those small immortal sects would be discouraged and it would be enough to withstand the initial losses.
After all, Xia Chao had actually guarded the spiritual vein for more than a year. Logically speaking, this was definitely enough, after all, it was just a low-grade spiritual vein! A thing that could be protected by almost any foundation-building cultivator, so what was wrong with Xia Chao keeping a few more? But he made a mistake.
That is, cultivators only talk to other cultivators.
The Xia Dynasty was a secular dynasty in the eyes of immortal cultivators.
I don't need to talk to you about rules or not, I just want what I like - other countries are like this, why is your Xia Dynasty unhappy?
If you don't like it, just touch it.
One, two, three, five, all like this!!! Just because the Xia Dynasty was a secular dynasty, there were always small immortal sects who didn't believe in evil and insisted on coming over to challenge it.
After a long period of friction, accidental discharge of guns is inevitable, and the sight of blood is also common.
The Xia Dynasty resisted for so long on its own, it is no exaggeration to say that it suffered heavy losses.
If this continues, within two years, all the original Fish Dragon Guards will be dead, and the Xia Dynasty will not have time to train new monks, which means all the spiritual treasures spent before will be lost.
Not only will it be impossible to hide one's strength and bide one's time, even survival will become a huge problem.
Just because he got one thing wrong.
From the beginning, in the eyes of the immortal cultivators, the secular dynasties were not worthy of being on par with them or negotiating with them! The rules of the immortal cultivation world did not apply to them at all.
They are so high up here, how can they tell you about the rules of the immortal world? Do you think you are qualified?
This is not just something the Xia Dynasty needs to face, but the whole world.
The only difference is that the Xia Dynasty insisted on holding on, while other countries had already knelt down and were able to have whatever they wanted during their tenure.
Even many cultivators have developed this mentality, and when they encounter the Xia Dynasty again, they naturally want to gain enough advantages in the same way.
Moreover, because other countries surrendered quickly enough, their spiritual veins have already been owned by others.
On the contrary, the Xia Dynasty was unwilling to hand over the land to others, so it was naturally considered an "unowned land" by many immortal cultivators.
They want to fight for it everywhere. It is better to fight with the Xia Dynasty than with a serious immortal sect. After all, the Xia Dynasty is a mortal dynasty.
Xia Chao is a soft persimmon in the eyes of the immortal cultivators! "May I ask Mr. Zheng, how can Xia Chao overcome the current difficulties?"
The young emperor also asked with a sad face.
Zheng Fei: “.”
Zheng Fei didn't reply and couldn't even smile bitterly.
He discovered the essence of the problem. However, how could Xia Chao find an existence that would be so strong that all immortal cultivators would have to agree and dare not commit the same mistake again?
It is not possible to accept Yao's invitation. Once the name of the Holy Maiden of Tianji is known, it will only bring more trouble to the Xia Dynasty.
Zhen Chi watched everything without saying a word, fearing that there was a bigger conspiracy. He could not really sell out Xia Dynasty.
The only expectation is probably only one.
It is really difficult to be a pillar of a country, and it is even more difficult to be the guardian of the Xia Dynasty!
Mr. Gu, when will you come back? I really can't stand it any longer! (End of this chapter)
