The wolf demon's eyes flickered, not knowing what to think.
Zen Master Hongyun’s eyes were filled with compassion, and his rosary was spinning a little faster.
The tiger demon had the most explosive temper and couldn't wait to ask: "How can we get involved in such a huge dispute? Does the Dragon King have a way to avoid disaster?"
"Of course there is."
Ao Xuan paused for a moment on Zhou Yi. Only this new mountain god's magical aura was too neutral and pure, and he couldn't figure out the details.
The authentic Xuanmen sect is too rare among the wild gods!
"The Dongsheng Divine Continent is so vast, even the Immortal Returning to the Void cannot be called invincible. Neither my ancestor, the True Dragon of Water, nor the founder of Zen Master Hongyun, Black Sky Arhat, are afraid of Grand Ancestor Daheng!"
"This is just within the Qingyun Mansion. There are many mountain gods and rivers in the Sixteenth Mansion of Daheng, and they are inextricably related to the ancestors of Huixu."
"It's not clear even if it's calculated. No matter how strong Daheng is, he won't dare to annihilate himself in Dongsheng Divine Continent!"
"Then we still need to be afraid of the court?"
The tiger demon drank wine and said, "How about we invite the real dragon and the Arhat to come to Daheng and kill him together in Kyoto and seize his throne. Taoist Ao will be the emperor and the Zen master will be the master of the country!"
"Amitabha!"
Zen Master Hongyun couldn't tell for a moment whether the tiger demon was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, so he declared the Buddha's name and said: "We, the juniors, must not make any rash remarks about the ancestors who return to the void. Those beings are one step away from the immortals and cannot be said to have magical powers of induction. "
The tiger demon cursed a few times and seemed to really want to rebel against the imperial court.
Zhou Yi found it interesting that today's banquet was probably jointly initiated by Ao Xuan and Hong Yun. The specific reason was unclear. The tiger demon and wolf demon seemed to support it, and he probably had thoughts of running away.
Just listen to the so-called real dragon and Arhat backer.
I don’t know how far away Ao Xuan is from the true dragon bloodline. He may not even be close to it even if he goes back more than ten generations.
The same is true for Zen Master Hongyun. He somehow learned some of Krishna Arhat's techniques and called himself his disciple.
Calculated in this way, Zhou Yi can claim to be a disciple of Taozu.
Establishing relationships and seeking support are more prosperous in the world of immortality than in ordinary people!
Ao Xuan said: "Although I can't invite the True Dragon Ancestor, Taizu Daheng still has to show some respect. In the future, the court will purge the wild gods and recruit some of them to be canonized as righteous gods."
"Recruitment?"
The worries in Zhou Yi's heart were immediately relieved. In all likelihood, there was no need to escape. The wild god was considering surrendering before the battle was over.
This is the normal state of the world of immortality. Unless there is a great opportunity, few people are willing to face each other life and death.
After working hard to build the foundation and form the elixir, everyone is seeking freedom and longevity, not practicing for the sake of fighting and fighting.
It’s just monks under the sect and the imperial court. While enjoying the benefits, they have to pay a price. Which loose cultivator in the mountains doesn’t move around every day?
"Yes, recruit!"
Ao Xuan said: "The imperial court will eliminate those wild gods with no background or heel, so as to avoid stalemate with the major immortal sects. When the time comes, they will issue a Yellow Book of Righteous Gods, and they will still occupy the mountain as king!"
The wolf demon asked: "Are there any conditions for recruitment?"
Ao Xuan nodded and said: "That's natural. Either the ancestors have returned to the world, or they have been promoted to Nascent Soul."
Zhou Yi suddenly realized that if he wanted to transform from a wild god to a righteous god, he must live up to the value of united front.
As a descendant of a true dragon like Ao Xuan, Daheng would have to lose face as long as he was still hanging out in Dongsheng Divine Continent unless he closed himself off to the country.
Or if you are promoted to Yuanying and your own strength reaches the united front standard, then you are no longer a wild god!
"The dignified Immortal Returning to the Void actually compromised. This life is so frustrating!"
The world of immortal cultivation in Dongsheng Shenzhou is at its peak. There are spiritual veins all over the mountains and rivers. There are countless exotic flowers and plants in the immortal mountains and blessed places. It can be said that there are as many foundations as dogs, and golden elixirs are everywhere.
Even in such a prosperous age of cultivation, the Return to Void Human Immortal is the best in the world, and Xia Ju's ascension is just around the corner.
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Taizu Daheng has been promoted to God since the founding of the country. It has been nearly 2,600 years. He has never heard of rumors of returning to the void. Did he suddenly break through the realm and take a shortcut?"
"Huh? God Wushan has extraordinary knowledge!"
Ao Xuan was surprised and said: "I did take a shortcut, and I can't compare to the real dragon Arhat. Otherwise, there would be no need to resort to grievances, and I would directly drive out the wild gods of mountains and rivers and kill them all."
Zhou Yi asked: "Can you tell such secrets casually?"
"This matter may be considered a secret in Linyang County, but outside of Kyoto or Daheng, it is nothing at all."
Ao Xuan said: "I'm not going to hide it from you, I am relying on my ancestor's reputation, and I will still be the Yuntonghe Bo in the future. You have no choice but to leave Daheng or be surrounded and killed by the court!"
Zhou Yi said: "Pindao has occupied the position of mountain god not long ago and has never violated the law. Will he be eliminated?"
"Hahaha……"
Ao Xuan seemed to have heard a joke and laughed a few times and said: "Whether it is purged or not has nothing to do with the law. We should seriously examine what is right and wrong. The Great Law prohibits monks from collecting incense privately!"
The tiger demon asked: "Please ask the Dragon King to show you the way."
"Eighth-grade Hebo, according to the system, four ninth-grade servant gods can be recruited to take charge of river patrol, cloud and rain and other duties."
Ao Xuan said: "This king invites you all to take charge of both sides of the Yuntong River. The incense and power will definitely be great!"
Before the tiger and wolf demons spoke, Zen Master Hongyun took the lead in expressing his stance.
"The poor monk is willing to leave Jiyun Temple and join Yuntong Dragon Palace!"
The tiger demon asked doubtfully: "The Zen master is a descendant of Arhat, is he also afraid of the imperial court?"
Hongyun said helplessly: "The skills practiced by the poor monk are biased towards the outside world and are not allowed in the imperial court."
The tiger and wolf demons deliberated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
When the imperial court began to clean up the wild gods, they abandoned their current territory and took refuge in the Dragon Palace.
Ao Xuan asked: "What is the mountain god's plan?"
"Let's see for now."
Zhou Yi did not agree, and even if he wanted to recruit people, he would not choose this place, where demons and ghosts gathered.
Ao Xuan did not urge it. In its view, sooner or later it would choose to come over.
Shocked to hear the big event, the banquet suddenly lost its flavor.
After carefully asking about the court's movements, Zhou Yi and Eryao left one after another, saying that they had made preparations for returning to the mountain.
Only Ao Xuan and Hong Yun were left in the palace.
"Dragon King, is it too hasty to recruit people like this? The tiger and wolf demons are fine, but the poor mountain god monk can't see through the depth. It may become a hidden danger to the Dragon Palace!"
"It doesn't matter, a mere golden elixir can't stir up trouble. My father asked Duoduo to win over the wild gods to resist the pressure of the court."
Ao Xuan's eyes were deep and he sighed: "If this were not the case, I would have gone to other realms to be at ease. After all, I am a returning immortal!"
The sons and grandsons of the dragon usually rely on the power of their ancestors, but now they have to obey orders and guard the Yuntong River.
Zen Master Hongyun said: "The mountain god has a pure aura, and he is not like a loser. The wolf demon is deep-minded and suspicious by nature. Only the tiger demon seems to be able to recruit him."
"Hmph! The tiger and wolf demons have no background. From fighting beasts to becoming demon kings, they have gone through many dangers. They must act safely and run away when in danger."
Ao Xuan said: "On the contrary, the mountain god seems to be a man of pursuit. Maybe he will turn into a true god through me."
"Fellow Taoist Hongyun has a wide circle of friends and continues to send messages to other wild gods of mountains and rivers. How many Jindan cultivators can there be in the huge Qingyun Mansion? Can they still gather four followers?"
…
Mountain temple.
The Book of Changes dealt with the prayers of believers, mostly for children, wealth, peace and so on.
According to the order of priority and the amount of incense and wish, the life-spirited ginseng doll comes to the door to cast spells to fulfill the believers' wishes.
It's so boring to gather the power pearls of the righteous god, running around the east and west, and being cursed by the people when you can't take care of anyone. How can it be compared to launching natural and man-made disasters to harvest incense.
"I could have slowly accumulated incense, but now something unexpected has happened in Daheng, and the wild god has disappeared before his eyes, and I can't delay it any longer."
Zhou Yi left the affairs of the temple to the Lingshen doll. As long as he turned into a mountain god, mortals would not be able to notice the difference.
Then he used the earth escape technique and walked all the way to Qingyun City.
Zhou Yi held a banquet in the Dragon Palace and asked many questions about the world of immortality, including the reliable trading market.
The capital of Qingyun Mansion is one of them.
Qingyun City is located in the eastern part of the Great Heng Dynasty, adjacent to three rivers and five lakes. It can be regarded as the top five gathering places for spiritual objects in the country.
Because of the Linyang land case, Zhou Yi had a bad feeling towards Qingyun City God. However, during the imperial court's grand plan, several Yuanyings had died, and no local gods dared to act rashly.
In a real battle of wits, with all four spiritual weapons at full power, they may not lose to Qingyun City God.
in the future.
It was early morning, and the mist was thick.
You can see the majestic city in the distance in front of you. The city wall alone is several times higher than Xianjing. It is forty or fifty feet high like a cliff. A mortal standing under the wall is like an ant.
Only one of the nine city gates on the east side was open, and there was a long queue of cars and horses entering and exiting early in the morning.
Closer.
Zhou Yi just saw clearly that the densely carved inscriptions and prohibitions on the city wall bricks were in a state of silence because there was no spiritual energy to stimulate them.
Stand at the door and observe for a moment, carefully write down the inscriptions and prohibitions, and compare them with the sect-protecting formations of the Jiuzhou Immortal Realm.
The two have their own advantages and disadvantages. The city-protecting formation has simple restrictions but is powerful. The sect-protecting formation is complex and cumbersome and slightly less powerful. It consumes spiritual energy but is not as powerful as this formation.
"The world of immortal cultivation in Dongsheng Shenzhou has not yet reached an era where every ray of spiritual energy is calculated and used."
Zhou Yi revealed the power of the golden elixir, and the Qi Refining monks guarding the city gate immediately bowed and let him go without queuing up at the door for inspection.
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
Enter the city.
People and cars are bustling, and monks can be seen everywhere, shopping and living like ordinary people.
When ordinary people see Taoists, monks, and strange people, they will show respect. Because they have seen them more often, they are not like those in the countryside who regard monks as immortal masters.
Zhou Yi felt the rich spiritual energy of Qingyun City and praised: "There must be a superior spiritual vein underground in Qingyun City. The method of confining the spiritual energy is no weaker than that of the Danding Sect back then!"
Even mortals without spiritual roots can subtly cleanse their essence and marrow after living here for a long time, and live to the limit of their lifespan without illness or pain.
Following Ao Xuan's instructions, Zhou Yi followed the central streets and came all the way to the east of the city.
Until it touches the transparent wall blocking the way, the fingertips shine with magical light and the portal manifests itself.
The front suddenly became clear, and the pedestrians became sparse, but there were no mortals anymore, all of them were monks. The shops on the left and right no longer sell mundane items, but elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, etc. are all available.
"Refining Qi is not as good as a dog. Building foundations is all over the ground. Only when you build pills can you shake..."
Zhou Yi transformed into an old man with white beard and hair. Seeing this scene, he seemed to have returned to Xiaodanshanfang City thousands of years ago. Everything was so novel.
"The years are long, and all nine continents are gone in the blink of an eye!"
With a sigh, he wandered along the street and went into the store to inquire about the price from time to time.
The basic trading currency of the Dongsheng Shenzhou Immortal Realm is also spiritual stone. Due to the rich spiritual energy, the corresponding spiritual creatures are also abundant, and the price of raw materials is much lower than that of Jiuzhou.
On the contrary, the abundance of spiritual objects makes the four arts of cultivating immortals rough, and the prices of elixirs and magical instruments are higher.
"It's just that the way of refining weapons and elixirs is very different from that of Dongsheng Shenzhou. It is used to earn spiritual stones, which can easily arouse the interest of high-level monks. If you encounter an unreasonable person and just search for souls, that's fine. What an unjust death!”
Zhou Yi bought a volume of basic alchemy at a shop called Qianjilou, and he understood it clearly after flipping through a few pages.
The core is the same, the only difference is the tempering and alchemy techniques. It only takes some time to adapt to the fusion of Jiuzhou alchemy.
"The foundation of the Four Arts of Cultivation is the use of restraints by monks, so formations are the source of the Four Arts. The restraints originate from the principles of heaven and earth. Even though Jiuzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou are hundreds of millions of miles apart, the rules of heaven and earth have not changed!"
Zhou Yi visited the shops in the east of the city, returned to the mortal area, and found a hook to stay.
The second day.
Went to the east side of the city for a stroll.
In the next half month, Zhou Yi basically figured out the prices in Dongcheng.
There were only shops like Immortal Pavilion, Baoqi Building, and Wanbao Building. There was one shop that caught Zhou Yi's attention. The price was so high that he couldn't help but cross the threshold.
"Miaoyu Pavilion!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is a treasured place of practice opened by the Buddhist Tantric Sect. I have lived for thousands of years, but I have never experienced the secret method of dual cultivation of Buddhism. I must go and experience it!"
Zhou Yi stayed in Miaoyu Pavilion for less than half a month with critical thoughts.
Day after day, I had a good relationship with the female mage Ling Yun, and learned a lot of secret information about Dongcheng.
According to the laws of the Daheng Dynasty, the circulation of wish power beads is prohibited. However, if there is demand, there will be trade. There are several secret shops in Dongcheng where spiritual stones can be exchanged for wish power beads.
When a strange monk enters the East City, these pawn shops only sell spiritual objects. They must be introduced by local monks before they can tell them the exchange price for the wish beads.
Zhou Yi and the female mage Lingyun knew each other well and were certainly acquaintances, so they quickly made their first transaction.
One wish power bead and more than three thousand standard spiritual stones.
"This price is a bit expensive. Ordinary monks can't afford it. If the court allows trading, the price will drop several times!"
Although Zhou Yi lamented that the Wish Power Pearl was expensive, he didn't care about the number of spiritual stones. He chose the Wanbao Building with the best reputation in the East City and went in. He took out a lotus seed and put it on the counter.
"This is... colorful lotus seeds!"
The shopkeeper obviously knew what he was selling, so he quickly asked the waiter to serve the tea, and at the same time, he invited a master to carefully identify it.
Making and selling counterfeits is very normal in the world of immortality. It is a transaction in which the money is paid and the goods are paid. If you are deceived, you will either consider yourself unlucky, or you will come and beat him to death.
The Master of Palm Eyes, a golden elixir cultivator, observed repeatedly and finally licked and tasted it before nodding with certainty.
After fierce bargaining, they finally sold 1.5 million spirit stones!
Five hundred thousand of them were exchanged for wishing beads, which was also Zhouyi's condition. Wanbaolou was one of the shops that dealt in wishing beads.
"Spiritual objects that assist in forming pills have always been priceless. If the poor Taoist had not lacked the wish power beads to practice, he would not have sold them so cheaply!"
Zhou Yi showed great strength, and the light-splitting sword showed its power slightly on his sleeves, which intimidated the Wanbao Tower monks. After several pulls, the deal was finally reached.
It took another two months.
The remaining one million spirit stones were exchanged for wish power beads. Zhou Yi left Qingyun City and returned to Wushan to practice cultivation after making sure there was no tail behind him.
one year later.
Another young and handsome Jindan monk came to Miaoyu Pavilion to practice dual cultivation, and had a passionate fight with the female mage Linglong.
Sell a treasure-seal magic weapon and leave.
Back and forth.
Ten years later.
Zhou Yi came out of Miaoyu Pavilion and said goodbye to the female mage Lingxiao very reluctantly. He finally saved up enough wishing beads, and with the help of spiritual objects, he could achieve a 100% chance of forming a baby.
"Now that Nascent Soul is here, it's time to celebrate!"
Thinking of this, I turned around and returned. Thousands of years have passed, not less than these three or two years!
