Chapter 67: A shortcut to gaining merit: Great protection for all the poor people in the world

"Blessed Land Business?"

When Li Changxi heard Ji Changsheng say this, she immediately nodded.

“Although the blessed land business involves many major forces, it is indeed a huge mountain weighing on the heads of ordinary people and independent cultivators today. If you can solve the blessed land business, it will indeed be an unparalleled merit.”

To be on the safe side, Ji Changsheng took the initiative to ask, "We at Xuandu Temple don't engage in the blessed land business, right?"

Li Changxi smiled: "Junior brother, do you understand the value of being the best in the world?"

Ji Changsheng blinked: "Please give me some advice, Senior Sister."

Li Changxi pointed out: "Only those incompetent forces will make money by exploiting ordinary people and independent cultivators. Our Xuandu Temple is the most powerful force in this world, and we have always made money by exploiting other major forces."

Ji Changsheng raised a thumb towards the direction of Xuandu Temple on the mountain.

It must be said that this way of making money is indeed different.

"Senior Sister, how exactly does our Xuandu Temple exploit other powerful forces?" Ji Changsheng humbly learned.

He doesn't have enough understanding of Xuandu Temple's true operating methods and money-making logic.

Li Changxi explained: "The founder of our Xuandu Temple is the Xuandu Grand Master, who is the only disciple of the Taiqing Saint."

Ji Changsheng nodded: "I know this."

Li Changxi continued: "Think about what the Great Qing Saint is best at? Forget it, the Great Qing Saint seems to be good at everything."

The eldest brother recognized by the Six Saints is no joke.

If the Taoist Ancestor does not appear, the Saint Taiqing is basically synonymous with invincibility.

What is even more rare is versatility.

All-professional players.

"When the Saint Taiqing founded the Human Religion, he bound his own destiny with that of the human race. Later, the human race rose, and the Saint Taiqing also became stronger and stronger. It was actually a win-win relationship for both parties. In this process, the Saint Taiqing helped the human race a lot. In order to help the naturally weak human race become stronger, the Saint Taiqing created many skills, magic tools, and elixirs. Any one of them is a priceless treasure."

Ji Changsheng suddenly realized.

"The five thousand words of Tao Te Ching are all pearls of wisdom. Master Taiqing is indeed an immortal monument in human history."

"It's more than just the five thousand words of morality." Li Changxi spoke of the Great Purity Saint with great admiration: "The Nine-Transformation Golden Pill refined by the Great Purity Saint can instantly turn a mortal into an immortal if he eats one. It is a priceless treasure. I am ashamed of myself for not being as good as him."

Ji Changsheng thought to himself that it was not easy for a mentally ill person like you to be humble for once.

It seems that Saint Taiqing is truly multi-talented.

"Of course, the Nine Transformations Golden Pill is also a priceless treasure in the Primordial Immortal Realm. This mere illusion does not have a treasure of this level." Li Changxi said: "But the Foundation Establishment Pill was made by our Xuandu Temple."

Ji Changsheng's eyes lit up.

"The Foundation Establishment Pill was actually made by our Xuandu Temple. That's right, this kind of thing should indeed come from the Taiqing lineage."

Ji Changsheng quickly accepted this setting.

"No wonder the temple has no shortage of resources. The income from the Foundation Establishment Pill alone is enough to make the temple rich."

Li Changxi said, "Not only the foundation-building pills, at least half of the pills in the world come from our Xuandu Temple. And at least one percent of the skills are also spread by our Xuandu Temple. Of course, we have to charge for it. Including some of the most advanced skills in our Xuandu Temple, they are actually open to other major sects, allowing them to learn and exchange, provided that they pay enough."

Ji Changsheng thought, isn’t this patent authorization?

Having said that, it is indeed difficult for the Taoist tradition passed down by a big shot like Taiqing Saint who has reached the maximum level in all professions not to have core technologies.

When you can earn patent fees from core technology, who would bother to cheat ordinary people?

"Xuandu Temple even opens its skills to other sects?" Ji Changsheng was a little surprised by this.

Li Changxi smiled: "Junior brother, the real core of Xuandu Temple is not the skills, nor the invincible masters of a certain generation, but the Xuanhuang Merit Tower. As long as the Xuanhuang Merit Tower is there, even if my mother ascends to heaven, Xuandu Temple can still stand firm."

Ji Changsheng: “…That makes sense.”

On the importance of having nuclear weapons! And the only nuclear weapons!

From this point of view, being a disciple of Xuandu Temple is indeed a very safe thing.

pity.

The Xuanhuang Merit Tower cannot be moved lightly.

And Ji Changsheng will not stay on the mountain.

The holy war is about to begin, and lying down on the mountain is definitely not the best option.

Fortunately, Fairy Linglong has already issued an order over in Sheng Country that cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage are prohibited from entering within one year.

Ji Changsheng made up his mind to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in Sheng Country first, and then raise his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Senior Sister, I remember Sheng Country is the territory of our Xuandu Temple?"

Li Changxi nodded and said, "Yes, Shengguo is under the protection of Xuandu Temple. However, in the past few years, the Xuandu Temple's Shengguo office has always been managed by the Bai family, so it is difficult to say the true situation in Shengguo. Junior brother, you must be prepared for chaos. The people left by the Bai family may not obey you, and those disciples from other sects who want to be promoted to the true teachings will be even more of a threat to you. But on the surface, Shengguo is still ruled by our Xuandu Temple."

"I see."

It seems that we must work even harder to accumulate merits.

Only by increasing your merits can you improve your cultivation.

Only by improving your self-cultivation can you win others over with your virtue.

The order cannot be wrong.

Fortunately, Ji Changsheng really thinks that it is not difficult to gain merit.

Regarding the bad things that Sheng Taiping had done, as long as he could drive away all the "Sheng Taipings", Ji Changsheng felt that the merit he would gain would not be less than saving a small doomsday world.

…

Sheng country.

East Palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shengguo took a letter and handed it to his officials in the Eastern Palace.

"Gentlemen, please take a look. The situation in Sheng Country is about to change. Bai Xiuran is already dead, and the Bai family will be destroyed in an instant. Xuandu Temple sent Ji Changsheng, who killed Fairy Linglong's husband, to Sheng Country. I'm afraid he has bad intentions. We must be prepared to deal with him."

The biggest difference between the crown prince and other princes is that he can openly form his own small team.

The counselors in the Eastern Palace do not need to be shy and can legitimately offer advice to the Crown Prince.

Xuandu Temple is the supporter behind Sheng State. The change of the head of Xuandu Temple’s office in Sheng State is of course a big event for Sheng State.

After analyzing the intelligence, the counselors all looked solemn.

However, there are also optimistic counselors.

"Your Highness, I don't think you need to worry."

The prince looked over.

A goateed strategist stroked his beard and smiled, with an expression of being fully prepared: "Your Highness, this Ji Changsheng is like a grasshopper after autumn, he won't be able to jump for much longer."

"How do you know?"

"He killed Fairy Linglong's husband. Although he condensed the Golden Lotus of Merit, he was not able to stay on the mountain. This is enough to explain everything. Fairy Linglong already hated him, and when he went down the mountain, he was said to have offended the temple master."

At this point, the goat-bearded strategist chuckled, "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. When the Bai family was still around, Ji Changsheng was of course a general under the temple master. Now that the Bai family is gone, Ji Changsheng is naturally of no use. Why should the temple master offend Fairy Linglong because of a mere inner sect disciple?"

The prince nodded slowly, but still had a different opinion: "Mr. Du's words make sense, but Fairy Linglong specially passed down the Linglong Sword Order for Ji Changsheng, not allowing cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage to enter our Sheng Kingdom."

Mr. Du waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, Fairy Linglong did this not for Ji Changsheng, but to uphold the rules of the cultivation world. I also know something about the cultivation world. These famous and upright sects have never allowed their disciples to be bullied. Of course, when they go to bully the Demon Sect, they often fight side by side without following any rules."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Prince: “…”

There's nothing wrong with it.

Why are righteous sects more desirable than demon sects? A big part of the reason is that righteous sects follow the rules for their own people and have the strength to enforce the rules.

As long as you integrate into this system, you will be protected by the rules and your security will be greatly guaranteed.

On the surface, this rule is ironclad and will not be easily broken.

When Ji Changsheng killed Bai Guanlin, he disguised himself as Jiang Boqing, otherwise the consequences would have been very serious.

But in the Demon Sect, if you kill someone, you kill him/her. The strong are respected and there are not so many rules.

Therefore, the death rate of disciples of the Demon Sect remains high, and the success rate of the righteous immortal sects is much higher than that of the Demon Sect.

Only when facing evil cult monsters will the righteous immortals break the rules.

Double standards are the essence of righteousness.

Very flexible bottom line.

This is also one of the reasons why Ji Changsheng admires the righteous path.

Mr. Du continued, "This Ji Changsheng is too young. Judging from what he said in the letter, it seems that he wants to reorganize the Fudi business."

At this point, Mr. Du couldn't help laughing out loud: "Does he know what he is talking about?"

Hearing what Mr. Du said, the other counselors couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“It’s still too young.”

"Ji Changsheng has no idea of ​​the importance of the blessed land business."

"Although the blessed land business was initiated by Sheng Taiping... oh, no, it was Bai Shizhi who first started it, but now the blessed land business has become the largest source of income for the national treasury. If the blessed land business is rectified, Sheng State will immediately collapse by half."

"All the major merchants in the blessed lands have powerful connections behind them, and many of them are related to the righteous immortal sects. Even if Ji Changsheng is really a disciple of Xuandu Temple, he cannot shake such a profit group. What's more, he is just an outer sect elder of Xuandu Temple who offended Fairy Linglong. There is no need to worry."

…

The counselors discussed it, but the conclusions they reached were basically the same:

Ji Changsheng's attempt to get into the blessed land business is beyond his capabilities.

It’s not that they look down on Ji Changsheng, but they know how deep the water is behind the Fudi business.

Mr. Du bowed and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Unless Fairy Linglong takes action personally, the business of the blessed land will never be affected. Ji Changsheng is still too young and doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Since he wants to start with the blessed land business and has sent a letter to Your Highness asking Your Highness to make some preparations in advance, Your Highness should give him a show. After all, he is also an outer sect elder of Xuandu Temple, so we still have to give him face."

The prince humbly asked, "Please tell me, sir, what should I do?"

Mr. Du chuckled, "Xuan Du Temple values ​​merit the most. Ji Changsheng wants to move up, so he naturally hopes to make the people of Shengguo live and work in peace and contentment, and to make Shengguo prosperous. However, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and we cannot easily start a war. Moreover, the relationship behind this is intricate and complicated. We must not change the court mechanism of our Shengguo that has been running smoothly for many years just for Ji Changsheng's selfishness."

The prince interrupted Mr. Du and said, "Mr. Du, please speak in a simpler way."

He listened for a minute and didn't hear a single useful word.

However, what counselors are best at is talking nonsense.

Mr. Du's next nonsense opened the prince's eyes.

"Your Highness, Ji Changsheng asked you to reorganize the business of the blessed land and reduce the pressure on the people and independent cultivators. You must agree to this matter, after all, he now represents Xuandu Temple. So you only need to do one thing - release all measures except price reduction!"

The prince's eyes lit up, and after savoring it for a moment, he bowed deeply to Mr. Du and said, "Mr. Du is a great talent."

Mr. Du chuckled and said, "The best way to deal with a young man like Ji Changsheng is to boil a frog in warm water. After a while, he will understand what it means to put the overall situation first."

A quarter of an hour later.

The counselors dispersed.

The prince dismissed his attendants and walked into his own bedroom. He glanced at the Crown Princess who was already fast asleep, and then lit a stick of soul-calling incense.

After a while, the reflection of the "Sanzu River" became faintly visible in the smoke.

The "boatman" looked here while sailing.

The prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the "boatman".

"Disciple greets Master."

The boatman nodded slightly: "What's the matter?"

The prince said, "I have received a letter from Ji Changsheng, asking me to sort out the blessed land business in Sheng State."

The boatman was not surprised: "For the disciples of Xuandu Temple, the fastest way to accumulate merit is to solve the blessed land business. Ji Changsheng's idea is correct, but unfortunately he is too short-sighted. He doesn't know how many powerful backgrounds are behind the blessed land business. Does he think that all sects can be like Xuandu Temple without worrying about resources?"

The prince asked, "Master, does the sect have any instructions?"

The boatman said, "Transforming Shengguo's destiny totem into a dragon is Ji Changsheng's trial mission for his promotion to Xuandu Temple. Your mission is related to him. Destroy Ji Changsheng's trial and make Xuandu Temple lose a disciple. One year later, if Ji Changsheng fails to succeed in his promotion to Xuandu Temple, you will be Huangquan Sect's disciple, and I will help you to advance to Nascent Soul."

The prince was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."

The boatman said, "Shengguo is your home ground. Seize this opportunity. In the future, you will be the 'crown prince' of Huangquan Sect."

More updates will be added at 8pm. Thanks to Jijuhua for the 1700 Qidian coins reward, and thanks to Lu Xiweier, Youbeicheala, and Shuyou 20230121075906989 for the rewards.
