Zhang Liang is a Confucian disciple. Although he has practiced Taoist Qi training techniques, he has always been a Confucian disciple.
Otherwise, with his talent, wouldn't it be faster to practice hiding in the mountains and forests, with mountains and rivers as his company?
Taoist inaction was passed down from Laozi, and later Zhuangzi's Youmeng technique made Taoists quiet and inactive.
Confucianism is different. Confucian ideas are enlightenment, and Confucianism has been planning and entering officialdom to open up the way to govern the world.
Therefore, Su Fan's secret methods were not as important to Confucianism and Zhang Liang as he thought.
If it were a Taoist, it might be different. With the method of blessed land, Taoist disciples would definitely go crazy.
After all, the reason why Taoist disciples go deep into the mountains and forests is not only because they are afraid of being disturbed, but also because they like to be clean.
What's more, the aura of the deep mountains and old forests is far richer than the aura of the city.
After all, the deep mountains and old forests have not been developed by humans. The earth and spiritual veins are almost intact, and the spiritual energy is abundant, which is of great benefit to their cultivation.
Moreover, there are many elixirs in the deep mountains and old forests. These are excellent things for ascetics and qigong practitioners.
Taoists like to refine elixirs. Starting from the Taoist saint Lao Tzu, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Many disciples love to refine elixirs.
Refining elixirs requires elixirs.
Moreover, many Taoist disciples will personally plant elixirs, and most of these elixirs require spiritual land to grow.
Therefore, Taoist disciples mostly go to deep mountains and old forests.
As for Taoist disciples, once they obtain the secret method of developing this blessed land and develop their caves into spiritual lands or even blessed lands, it will definitely be a great improvement for them.
If this secret method is given to the Taoists, the Taoists' strength will grow explosively again within thousands of years.
Originally, among the hundreds of schools of thought, three religions and nine schools of thought, Taoism was the most powerful.
Although the disciples of Taoism are definitely far inferior to those of Confucianism and Mohism, the two sides follow different routes, with Taoism taking the elite route.
A person often only has one or two disciples, and some Taoist sects often only have a few disciples.
But you don't dare to underestimate this sect. These people are often stronger than the Confucian lineage.
In fact, Taoism is not unwilling to expand, but rather wants to be deficient rather than excessive.
At the same time, resources are limited. A spiritual place only has so many resources. Once there are more people cultivating, the resources allocated to each person will become less and less.
In addition, when Taoists recruit disciples, they attach great importance to qualifications and understanding. Such people are unique in ten thousand.
Over time, this resulted in the scarcity of Taoist disciples.
But when the secret method of the blessed land appears, it will be different. It can greatly increase the resources and turn the spiritual land into a blessed land, so the effect will be different.
In the past, only three or five disciples could be trained, but now that it has become a blessed land, it can train at least thirty to fifty disciples, or even more.
There is no shortage of teachers for Taoists to recruit disciples and teach them. Once the spiritual energy resources are sufficient, the Taoist burst of power is absolutely terrifying.
After all, the upper limit of Taoism is also the highest. The ancestor of Taoism is Lao Tzu, and who is Lao Tzu? He is the Taiqing Sage.
The most unfathomable person among the Six Saints.
The realm of cultivation is closest to the existence of Tao Ancestor.
As you can imagine, the legacy he left behind is absolutely top-notch.
The true teachings of Taoism are no worse than those taught by humans.
Therefore, in Jiuzhou, Taoist disciples are an unquestionable existence. Even if Confucianism is chasing after them, they cannot catch up.
Zhang Liang is very aware of the horror of this secret method.
But to be honest, for him, it has little effect.
The same is true for Confucianism. Most of the Confucian disciples are landowners. Let them leave the prosperous world and go to the deep mountains and old forests to be with the mountains and wilderness. There are really not many people who can do it.
After all, this is equivalent to being a savage. Except for those with a strong heart, there are really few people who can bear it.
This is one of the reasons why Taoism has so few disciples.
Many people don't want to either.
After all, Taoism’s requirements for xinxing are really too high.
Anyway, even if you join the Confucianism, Mohism, or other Nine Streams, you will not be unable to practice Taoist mental methods, although you will not be able to cultivate Taoist supreme mental methods.
But the mental methods of other three religions and nine schools are not bad. In fact, most of the mental methods of cultivation of various schools of thought are similar. After all, they all come from the golden elixir avenue of Taiqing Saint.
Of course, some of them absorbed the techniques passed down by ancient immortals and gods.
In short, everything is inseparable from its origin, and there is a direct path to immortality.
As long as you practice, it is possible to become an immortal.
It's just that Taoism may be a little higher. After all, one mind and one resource for cultivation, and hundreds of other schools of thought are all involved in the world.
Therefore, there are more powerful people in Taoism. Among hundreds of scholars, most of the top powerful people come from Taoism.
This is simply unmatched by other companies.
Even the powerful Yin Yang family was separated from Taoism.
To put it simply, there are only about ten powerful men who have reached the immortal level in their Little Sage Village.
As for Xiaoshengxian Village, as the most powerful branch of Confucianism, the Confucian branch must have an immortal-level person in charge, and it has only developed six branches so far.
Even if there are ten immortals in each lineage, they are only sixty.
However, in fact, Zhang Liang knew that in the entire Confucian school, there are only more than forty people who have truly reached the immortal level.
The Mohist family is actually worse off than the Confucian family, but the number of disciples of the Yin Yang family is smaller than those of the other two, but the number of immortal-level disciples is actually more.
As for other farmers, doctors and so on, there are even fewer.
And the Guigu lineage does not have three religions or nine streams. After all, the Guigu lineage involves many things, including military strategists, famous masters, and vertical and horizontal arts.
The Guigu lineage has even fewer disciples than the Taoists, but every disciple who is born is also quite powerful. Especially the Guigu lineage attaches great importance to the art of war and practices military strategism, and they are often top generals.
As for personal strength, it's not bad either.
For example, the swordsman of Guigu's lineage, Gai Nie, who has become King Qin's swordsmanship teacher, is a top swordsman.
His cultivation level is absolutely terrifying.
When the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the Six Kingdoms sent countless people to Xianyang City to assassinate the King of Qin.
As the swordsmanship teacher of King Qin and the commander of the palace guards, Gai Nie killed countless assassins.
His cultivation was also displayed vividly, which also led to the failure of the Six Nations.
Others don't know Gai Nie's background, but Zhang Liang knows very well that the former is a disciple of Guigu, and he does not practice military strategy, but swordsmanship.
But after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, this person disappeared. It is said that he went to other places outside the Nine Provinces to improve his cultivation.
He was at the peak of being a true immortal back then. (End of chapter)
