"Ahem, I really envy you young people. The future is yours. Why don't you be the palace master? You are a fool in the first place."
The old Tang Ping said while coughing.
"No, no, it's up to you."
Ever since he planned to endure Tang Ping's death, Nan Luhua's desire for the position of Palace Master was no longer that high.
Now that Tang Ping suddenly stepped aside, his reputation might become unfavorable. In the eyes of outsiders, this was just a way of killing the donkey.
It would be better to wait until Yu Ding dies and accept his inheritance openly, then he will have all the fame and benefits.
The two exchanged a few words and Tang Ping returned to Wuya Palace.
The tiger cart broke through the clouds, and above the clouds, bright sunlight fell on the sea of clouds, creating halos like golden scales.
Between the sea of clouds, various atmospheric creatures such as cloud dragons, cloud birds, and cloud snakes sometimes gather together and sometimes disperse into water vapor.
During the flight, Tang Ping's appearance gradually became younger, which was essentially different from the old look he had when he was in the Mingzhu Palace.
The Sutra of Eternal Transformation and Ascension, Dinxia Chapter (30000/60000).
"Thirty thousand proficiency levels, there are still thirty thousand proficiency levels left before we can break through to the middle stage of manifestation."
Calculated based on normal practice of one point a day, it would take about eighty-two years.
Coupled with the elixir, the time may be shortened a lot.
Of course, this is a common algorithm.
The proficiency level in the Dinxia chapter is mainly achieved through refining Gang Qi. If there is Gang Qi, there will be proficiency. Without Gang Qi, it cannot be increased.
In essence, it is still a resource.
"One hundred years, one hundred years. As for the Gang Qi, leave it to the people of Meishan and Xijian Mountains to find it, regardless of type or quality."
Anyway, the type and quality of Gang Qi are not required.
These will be transformed into the most suitable high-grade Huangquan Jiaolong Gangqi.
Being bored in the sky, Tang Ping simply let the tiger cart float in the air, then took out the bottle and released an earth-yellow dragon-shaped gas. He made a gesture with his fingers, and the underworld dragon appeared behind him.
Use your mind as a fire and your body as a cauldron.
Take it into your body little by little.
This process must be done carefully.
Gang Qi is a natural creation, possessing very pure and clear energy. If you incorporate this external energy into your body, your soul will be harmed if you are not careful.
This process of cultivation is a “fake thing”.
Constantly absorb external energy to strengthen itself.
This is especially true for the practice of ghosts and ghosts.
As the name suggests, the realm of spiritual manifestation is to possess the Dharma body, transform from the soul into a new life form, and give birth to the unique acupuncture points and meridians of the soul.
All ghosts and monsters have their dharma-appearances. Tang Ping's dharma-appearances are a golden body and a dragon. The dragon has no special magical powers for the time being.
After absorbing Gang Qi this time, he will probably feel much better.
Soon, a whole bottle of Gang Qi was absorbed by Tang Ping, and he felt that his soul body had become much more solid.
"Although it is difficult for a Yin spirit to become a saint for all eternity, with each step forward, the form of life will change drastically. When you reach the Yin spirit level, you will probably have complete human body functions."
Now the manifest realm has initially begun to have human functions.
In the past, the five senses of sight, touch, taste, hearing, etc. were different from those of normal people, which led to the need to be extra careful when practicing certain exercises to avoid misunderstandings.
Now he is almost like a living person.
The realm of spiritual manifestation is a process of slowly getting closer to a living person, and the meridians and all aspects become complete.
Finally, in the Yin Shen realm, the ghost elixir will be formed, and the life form will completely transform.
Sit on a tiger cart and tour the wild land.
"This era is so boring!"
Tang Ping sighed.
The entertainment aspect was so lacking that even though I promoted so many festivals, they still ended up being nothing.
Except for Qixi Festival, other festivals have failed miserably. Many things depend on the environment and the development of the times.
This era still belongs to a relatively wild level.
Tang Ping felt that the golden age of cultivation, or the strongest moment for monks, had not yet come.
The era of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors passed, and the ancient gods disappeared. Now is the budding period when future generations have not yet grown up.
After King Wu defeated Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty adopted the method of benevolence and virtue to rule the world, giving all forces unprecedented opportunities for development.
Only then will it be time for the heroes to compete.
This was also one of the reasons why Tang Ping wanted to retire.
Dayi Shang's way of governing the country was very violent, and he frequently conquered neighboring countries. On the one hand, he used the excuse of sacrifices to get various countries to sacrifice a large number of their populations and nobles.
Continuously weakening the power of various countries, and even using national power to compete with surrounding forces, such as Dongyi, there is no reason for Dayi merchants to encircle and suppress Dongyi. They will attack when they have the opportunity. There has never been a ceasefire for hundreds of years.
Like a meat grinder, constantly consuming the vitality of others.
Tang Ping didn't want to be killed by Dashang's people as a threat one day, so he had the idea of retiring.
Pattering!
Suddenly, it started to rain lightly.
Tang Ping looked up and saw a cloud floating above him, raining down on him.
Before the rain fell, it was stopped by a transparent protective cover.
As soon as the clouds closed, she transformed into a girl in white clothes, bare feet, and bright eyes.
"Tch, boring." Seeing that her sneak attack was unsuccessful, Yao Ji was a little frustrated, and her confused look was really cute.
"Huh, if you think about these messy things all day long, why not practice hard?"
Tang Ping let go of the cover, and Yao Ji sat next to him.
Yao Ji frowned slightly and stared with big eyes, puzzled: "Cultivation? Why do you need to practice? People only eat and play, and their cultivation level is steadily increasing every day."
Tang Ping was speechless for a while. Master Tianshang is indeed a master. He only eats and plays. How can he become stronger like this?
I'm really speechless. In front of me is Yun Mengze, Yun Shen Yun Zhongjun, and in the back is this little Yun Duo Yao Ji. Born creatures are truly difficult to understand.
Maybe their practice is difficult first and then easy.
It is as difficult for a creature in the clouds to transform into a human form as it is to reach the sky. Tang Ping has lived for so many years and has seen hundreds of millions of creatures in the clouds. There are very few, if any, who have successfully transformed into a human form.
So far I have only seen Yun Zhongjun and Yao Ji.
"But having said that, Yun Zhongjun has not appeared for hundreds of years."
"Brother Shenhou, are you talking about the big brother who drives the dragon chariot?" Yao Ji asked.
"you know?"
"I have a bit of an impression." Yao Ji tilted her head and recalled for a long time, "About sixty years ago, I met him in the clouds. He smiled at me and said it was quite rare, and then told me not to show my face. Be careful these years. At one point, something big is happening in the mortal world.”
"Something big happened?"
Could it be that King Wu defeated Zhou?
King Wu's defeat of Zhou was not a simple change of power, but a confrontation between different beliefs.
The Shang Kingdom was a theocratic state. Priests and kings were the ruling class. There was no distinction between gods and humans. Gods' will could affect the mortal world and they could interfere in the mortal world at will. Everything was subject to ghosts and gods.
It is inevitable to ask ghosts and gods when eating, drinking, having sex, clothing, food, housing, and transportation. It is inevitable to kill people. The Shang Kingdom killed countless people every year.
Bangzhou advocated "reverence to heaven and ancestors". Respecting God and following the example of ancestors, the concept pays more attention to people and generally does not value human sacrifice. It pays attention to benevolence and virtue, and pays attention to patriarchal tradition in the succession of the throne.
The two sides must be fighting to the death.
Even Yun Zhongjun wants to avoid his sharp edge. It seems that Tang Ping is right to want to keep a low profile.
"Forget it, let's go into seclusion first."
Xijian Mountain.
The sword pool on the top of the mountain has swords scattered all over the place. The clear lake is covered with a layer of colorful mist. Just looking at it makes you feel like you are between your eyebrows.
There is a thatched cottage next to the sword pool, and a handsome man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes is sitting cross-legged in it, with three divine swords suspended around him.
Not far away there was a little boy dancing with a wooden sword seriously.
This is Li Yuan's eldest son.
As for Li Yuan's wife, she was an ordinary aristocratic woman; monks in this era did not have the term "monk". Whether it was Zhang Wulang or Zhang Xian and Li Yuan, each had a group of wives and concubines.
Of course, having a group of wives and concubines does not mean that there will be many children. Monk's children often need to absorb a lot of energy to come out, and energy can only be absorbed from the mother's body, which can easily lead to two deaths.
Therefore, monks from the Chu Kingdom generally do not easily get their wives pregnant, and they only have two or three children.
At this time, Tang Ping's figure slowly emerged.
"Looking for Qi for me, the more the better, the type and quality are not limited."
Tang Ping was too lazy to talk nonsense and got straight to the point.
"No limit? Disciple knows."
Li Yuan thought carefully for a moment and then agreed.
The difficulty is not too high. If there is no limit on quantity and quality, it is not that difficult to collect Gang Qi.
After arranging the tasks, Tang Ping went to the Chu Palace, Xiaoxiang, Yuguo, Meishan, and the county town under Qunyu Mountain.
Then he went back to retreat.
West, mediocre country.
In a deep mountain, a simple bronze palace was built.
The bronze is brand new, and you can tell at a glance that it was recently cast.
Dozens of pure white feathered men can be seen in the Bronze Palace, and a mysterious man wearing a golden mask sits under the sacred tree.
"Jiang Feng of the Jing Kingdom died, Bamboo Bone of the Big Bird Kingdom died, and Jin Ming of the Fire Worshiping Kingdom died..."
The subordinate reported on the recent situation of other military attachés.
The Yuren's infiltration is not without risks. On the contrary, the mortality rate on this path is very high. Once successful, it will be a country that can support itself and its cultivation level will break through quickly.
The Golden Mask Feathered Man undoubtedly belongs to the priest class, and the lowest level of cultivation is the Traveling Realm.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the masked feathered man gave an order.
"Everyone gathers together to deal with Yongguo with all their strength, capture Yongguo, and radiate in all directions."
The Yuren Priest set the tone, and then the Yuren stopped a lot because they all went to Yongguo.
After Yong State, the next step is Chu State.
…
Thirty years later.
Mingzhu Shrine.
In the past thirty years, the palace master's temperament seemed to have changed drastically. He often gave away money and charity. People from all walks of life were occasionally rewarded with elixirs. Even if they asked for elixirs, they would only be charged a 30% discount. Of course, they would bring three copies of the materials. .
This behavior greatly enhances reputation.
Mingzhu Shrine, a regular meeting held every three years.
There are more than 80 deacons, 80% of whom are snake people.
"Ahem..."
Tang Ping coughed violently, as if his lungs were about to be coughed up. His condition became worse and worse. His hair was completely white, his skin looked like dry old tree bark, and there were dark spots on his face.
The whole person looked like he was about to die.
Looking at the beautiful Tang Ping, Nan Luhua endured secretly.
"I'm going to die. I'm going to die soon. Don't ruin your reputation at this time and endure it any longer."
The craziest time for a person in power is when he is about to die.
At this time, people don't mind fighting with you or trying to support you.
Although he has three scales passed down from his ancestors, it is not such a waste.
"Ahem, Nanluhua, the Fire Nation invaders invaded the border a few days ago. I'm sorry to trouble you during this period. By the way, please be more careful about the medicinal materials, as they are related to everyone's elixirs."
Tang Ping has become thicker and thicker over the years. Not only does he not care about anything, he also lets Nan Luhua run errands.
At first, Nan Luhua felt that he had the power, but then he changed his mind.
Aren’t you just an errand boy?
But he has been put on the shelf, and he really can't shirk it.
"Keep it up." Nan Luhua thought to himself, but said, "I obey!"
Another thirty years passed.
"Ahem...Nanluhua..."
On top of the palace master's seat, Tang Ping seemed to collapse when blown by the wind, his body filled with lifeless energy.
"...Are you going to die or not?"
Nan Luhua screamed inwardly.
The older this guy gets, the more demonic he becomes. His status as the palace master has natural advantages. Coupled with his generosity and wealth, this person's reputation is even greater than his own.
Another thirty years passed.
Qunyu Mountain.
boom!
An unknown aura swept across all directions.
The Sutra of Ascension to Ascension·Fine Clouds Chapter (60000/60000) - The Sutra of Feathering to Ascension·Fine Clouds Chapter (1/100000) has been completed.
The skill has reached a small level.
The realm breaks through to the middle stage of manifestation.
The amount of the underworld contract is increased by one.
Of course, the most important thing is that the realm of the underground master has changed.
The first level of underground master - the third level of realm master.
…
(Brothers, I have adjusted it well and will update it tomorrow.)
