It has been a day since I returned from the spiritual realm, and today is the day for Enke's palace examination.
Tens of thousands of students from various Taoist houses throughout the Wu Kingdom gathered in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the imperial palace to take the Enke examination.
Calculating the time, the time when those golden lights of merit appeared in the void was exactly the time when Enke's exam began.
Obviously, this act of reopening Enke to promote talents regardless of whether they are high or low is also a huge merit!
At least it has been recognized by the heaven in this wilderness.
At this time, a steady stream of merits surged in, and the golden light of merits in the void was like a ray of light, roaring towards Li Yun.
To his surprise, the merits gained by Enke's recruitment of scholars far exceeded the previous merits of suppressing the four rebel armies and finding a way out for millions of victims and people.
If you think about it carefully, although the four rebels were suppressed and the wealth was equally distributed among the millions of people in the capital, after all, they were just facing these millions of people.
This move to recruit scholars regardless of high or low is for the whole world!
The area benefited is wider, so naturally it will be different.
However, the merit obtained by improving a certain system should only be a wave. After this wave, there will not be much more.
It has become more turbulent and violent since then!
At this time, his Yin Shen instantly left his body, and suddenly he saw that the golden light of merit in the void turned into a shadow of a temple.
Before he could react, the shadow formed by the golden light of merit had already shrouded his spirit in it.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of golden light of merit blessed his Yin God from the shadow of the temple.
At this time, it was clearly broad daylight and the scorching sun was shining in the sky. However, Li Yun's Yin Shen came out of the body without feeling any discomfort at all. Instead, it was continuously strengthened and strengthened by the golden light of those merits.
It seems as if he is being forged by the golden light of merit.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yun's Yin God had been plated with a layer of gold, and although the shadow of the Confucian Temple had faded a lot at this time, it still floated on his Yin God.
As this wave of golden light of merit gradually faded, Li Yun's Yin Shen finally slowly stabilized.
He could feel that his Yin Shen was fully able to go out for a walk when the sun was blazing at noon, because with the protection of the golden rim, he would not be affected by the sun at all.
It cannot absorb the moonlight directly, but it is not much different from the night.
Although he has not yet reached the level of a Yang God, he is no longer a Yang God, but is better than a Yang God.
And the phantom of the temple floating around him also has a lot of background. As long as his merits continue to increase, this phantom of the temple may even directly solidify and materialize into reality!
At the same time, Li Yun could truly feel that the Yin God, which had once again been plated with gold, was not far from the Yang God.
Once he has fully cultivated into Yang Shen, he can draw on the destroyed divine soul priesthood system to proclaim himself the divine soul god, and even canonize his subordinates.
People who have been canonized by him through the divine soul priesthood system can also practice merit and virtue, which is equivalent to being subordinate to his own divine system.
He has all the power under his control, but he is able to practice without relying on spiritual energy in this general trend of spiritual energy exhaustion.
Different from his cultivation method of using imperial energy to gather spiritual energy, this is another path of cultivation, and it is also the righteous method of cultivating immortals!
Li Yun's Yin Shen instantly returned to his body, feeling the more powerful power of his soul, and his face showed joy.
Lian Yu and others on the side did not have the ability to escape from the body, so naturally they did not see the mighty golden light of merit and the shadow of the temple. They just felt a warm breeze and smelled the refreshing aroma.
It's just that they can feel that the emperor seems different from before. He feels more majestic, his eyes are bright and sharp, as sharp as a sword, like a god descending to earth!
At this moment, I saw the fire in the Heaven Refining Furnace not far away slowly extinguished, and a faint fragrance of elixir emanated from it.
Zhao Huichun, who was controlling the cauldron furnace, wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened the furnace door carefully, and ignored the heat wave, looked inside, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he took a jade shovel, carefully scooped out the medicinal mud inside, put it into a large tray, and then used a special elixir-rubbing vessel to shake and knead it.
Nearly a hundred elixirs of the same size were quickly formed.
Zhao Huichun brought these elixirs to Li Yun and said:
"Your Majesty, fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny. According to the elixir prescription given by the Emperor, this elixir has been completed."
Today, the emperor asked him to refine a new formula for the elixir called Kailing Dan. It is said that after taking it, it can inherit the wisdom of the past and the wisdom of the future. It is very impressive.
However, Zhao Huichun had long been accustomed to these strange prescriptions provided by the emperor.
Anyway, he would make the elixir whenever the emperor asked him to, and he would make sure to follow the elixir recipe meticulously.
As for whether he can eat it after refining it and what the effects will be after eating it, that is beyond his control.
Li Yun casually picked up a spirit-opening pill and threw it into his mouth, then swallowed it into his belly. The spiritual power in his body circulated rapidly, dissolving the medicinal power and pouring into all parts of his body. He immediately felt a burst of clarity in his soul.
Under the power of this elixir, he even felt that his thinking instantly became more active than before, and his understanding of many things also suddenly improved.
You must know that he has now gone through the method of merit cultivation and activated the Yin Shen. It can be said that the soul is extremely powerful, and the extent to which it can be improved is also very limited.
This elixir can still make his mind feel more active and his soul clearer, which shows how powerful it is.
After ordinary mortals take it, it will definitely have the effect of opening up their wisdom, and they may become several times smarter than before.
It can also strengthen the soul and enhance energy.
In terms of strengthening the soul, it is even more precious than the previous ordinary martial arts pills!
Li Yun nodded immediately, with royal energy surging, he refined the erysipelas of the Kailing Pill to only its medicinal properties, threw one to Zhao Huichun, and said:
"I will give this elixir to your beloved to show your merits."
Looking at the black elixir that the emperor put into his hand, Zhao Huichun couldn't help but have a look of confusion on his face. He looked up at the emperor and then at the elixir, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
It was just about refining elixirs, so why did he let him eat it? ?
Others don't know, but he himself is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what he is practicing.
All kinds of rare and powerful medicines with conflicting properties are combined to make an elixir. The fire and poison contained in this thing is simply terrifying.
If you take one pill, you may get a nosebleed or bloody stool.
Although it won't kill anyone, it can definitely save him half of his life.
The emperor is a martial saint, so he can resist naturally. He is an ordinary person, how can he collapse?
Just looking at the emperor's eager and expectant eyes in front of him, and then thinking of the emperor's great kindness to him, Zhao Huichun's lips shrank, trying hard to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you... thank you for your grace..."
Then he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, threw the magic elixir into his mouth, and swallowed it.
If you want to draw blood, draw blood. The emperor's grace is great.
Seeing that Zhao Huichun had eaten the elixir, Li Yun nodded with satisfaction, and, surrounded by several attendants, walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony with nearly a hundred elixirs.
The tens of thousands of students who participated in the palace examination today were all considered disciples of the emperor, and he was about to personally select the available talents among them.
If you want to create a great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, you must first control the Great Wilderness.
If you want to rule the wilderness, you must first unify the Wu Kingdom.
If you want to unify the Wu Kingdom, you must first get all the talents in the world!
…
At the same time, on the wide official road of Guannan Province to the west of Gyeonggi Province, an army of hundreds of thousands of people was marching rapidly towards the capital.
The horses neighed, the hooves rumbled, and the footsteps of hundreds of thousands of soldiers were like war drums, which could even be heard for more than ten miles.
"Zhang, the envoy of Guanlong Road", "Cui, the envoy of Jiannan Road", "Gao, the envoy of Longyou Road", "Wang, the general who conquered the west", "Deng, the general of Pinglu"...
Large banners stand up like a forest on one side, making a hunting sound in the wind.
This is a coalition army of hundreds of thousands of people!
In the center of the coalition, there is a palace-like chariot, with blood-red curtains hanging down, and a chilling atmosphere.
And around the walking chariot, sixteen warriors were lifting it together, and they were all Houtian warriors!
The dignified Houtian warriors became bearers, but these Houtian warriors did not dare to be dissatisfied at all. Instead, they all worked hard to move forward.
A general riding on a white horse, wearing chainmail, with blood rushing all over his body, rode up to the chariot, clasped his fists and said:
"Cui Sheng, in front of us is Yunshan, the border between Guannan Road and Gyeonggi Road. This place has been turned into a powerful pass by the Hunjun. A direct attack will definitely cause heavy losses. Do you want to take a detour?"
Just then, the curtain of the chariot was opened by two beautiful palace ladies, revealing a middle-aged man sitting there, dressed in white, dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a sword on his waist, speaking in a cold voice:
"It's just a mortal pass, why do you need to go around it? I will break it with one force."
This person is none other than the Martial Saint Cui Shouxian, the head of Baihe Academy, one of the three major martial arts holy places!
After closing the curtain, Cui Shouxian walked a few steps in the house-like chariot, came to a wine table and sat down, shook his head and said with a smile:
"I haven't been in the world for many years, but I didn't expect that the younger generation of the aristocratic family has become so unbearable that even a down-and-out emperor can't subdue him. When I discussed the Tao with the founder of the Wu Dynasty a hundred years ago, I only lost half a move. Now, I am here as an immortal warrior. What is there to fear about the body?”
At this time, there were two monks sitting at the table, namely Shi Tian, the first monk in Shaolin, and Dao Yan, the first monk in Wudang.
Both of them are middle-aged, and their actual age cannot be seen.
Na Shitian clasped his palms together and loudly announced the name of the Buddha:
"You are ignorant and have no moral principles. We, the people in the Holy Land, should eradicate evil from the world to prevent lives from being ruined."
The Taoist Dao Yan smiled slightly and said:
"Yesterday, I sent a letter to Wudang Holy Land and received news about the spiritual realm from the Holy Land's spiritual spring. A fairy named Yanran has been living in the mortal world and has been missing for a long time. I asked us to pay more attention to it. Once we find this fairy Yanran, we will definitely There is a generous gift from the immortal... I got the news that Dong Yuan, the son of Dong Chao, the governor of Xuanwu Festival, had welcomed a female immortal master to worship him. When he went to conquer the Hunjun, he was lost in the rebel army..."
