Chapter 216: Disciples and ministers: Please, Your Majesty, please accept our fate!
The Records of the Immortals and the Immortal Sects records:
"On July 15, the 60th year of Jiajing, the emperor appointed the second generation of the headmaster. On July 20, the 60th year of Jiajing, the emperor appointed Dugu Donglai, Li Yu, Xu Shixing, Feng Sheng, and Liu Wei as the headmaster's personal descendants."
Time flies. Three months have passed since the funerals of Dugu Ying and Dugu Xiong.
The time has come to the October of the sixtieth year of Jiajing in the Daming calendar.
In three months, the Daming Immortal Sect underwent earth-shaking changes from the inside out.
The first thing is to re-lay and integrate the Ming Dynasty's spiritual veins.
Liu Quan did not dare to do it and did not want to be involved with Li Changqing, but Jiajing had no such concerns and directly integrated one third-grade spiritual vein, two fourth-grade spiritual veins, and three fifth-grade spiritual veins into the Ming Dynasty.
Taking into account the two ninth-grade spiritual veins that were previously merged, after sorting, although the grade of Daming's spiritual veins has not yet reached the second grade, the richness of its spiritual energy is the highest in the entire southeastern region of the Great Wilderness.
Afterwards, in order to ensure that the spiritual energy of the Ming Dynasty would not be diluted by the outside world, Jiajing found Li Changqing and laid a spirit gathering formation within a radius of a thousand miles with the Ming Dynasty as the center!
The world of immortal cultivation is different from the Ming Dynasty. Except for specific places like the capital or Nanjing where there are spiritual veins, the outside world is relatively a vacuum. People are worried about the leakage of spiritual energy, so a reverse spiritual gathering formation is needed to gather all the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins and prevent it from leaking out.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is so rich that setting up a gathering spirit formation will only gather the spiritual energy from the outside world to the Daming Immortal Sect, making the already rich spiritual energy of Daming even richer.
Then came the transformation of the Ming Dynasty.
Jiajing waved his hand and directly used 10 million taels of spiritual energy to invite people from Tiangong Pavilion to rebuild the Daming Immortal Sect.
Afterwards, a "cabinet" was established in the Daming Immortal Sect. The number of members was not fixed and was composed of the sect's elders. They were responsible for making decisions and planning the sect's future development direction. In order to check and balance the "cabinet", a "sect council" was also established.
The members of the clan council are directly taught by the head of the sect.
If the sect leader is in seclusion or away, the "cabinet" will decide the sect's business development direction, and then the "sect council" will be responsible for approving it.
Anything that the "National Assembly" disagrees with must be re-planned by the "Cabinet" until the Cabinet and the "National Assembly" reach a consensus.
However, the "Sect Council" does not have the power to participate in the development and operation of the sect. It is only responsible for approving the decisions of the "Cabinet".
After establishing the "Cabinet" and "Sect Council", Jiajing also set up three halls and three pavilions in the Xianzong.
"Resources Hall", "Warfare Pavilion", "Law Enforcement Hall", "Mission Hall", "Immortal Guidance Pavilion", and "Immortal Work Pavilion".
The Resource Hall, as the name suggests, is responsible for the sect's logistics management, sect resource expenditure and income, and even the disciples' household registration, sect trade, etc. The hall master is the second elder Song Xinchai.
The Battle Pavilion is responsible for building the sect's exclusive combat force, organizing disciples to maintain the sect, or fighting outside. Because it requires a high level of cultivation from the Pavilion Master, it is temporarily held by the Sect Master Jiajing.
The Law Enforcement Hall was reorganized from the original Punishment Hall and is still headed by the former head of the Punishment Hall, Xu Tian, who is responsible for the sect's criminal law.
The Mission Hall is something that every sect has.
In order to test the cultivation results of their disciples, as well as to train their character and combat experience, the immortal sects will accept tasks from the people in towns and villages under the protection of their own sect and help them solve their troubles. This is considered to be fulfilling their obligations.
After all, if the people within their own sphere of influence have good immortal seedlings in the future, they will all join their own sect.
Of course, each task will be divided into nine levels according to difficulty, and the ninth level will be assigned a star, with the ninth level having one star being the lowest, and so on. The first level, nine stars task is the most difficult and highest.
The candidate for the master of the Mission Hall has not been confirmed yet and is temporarily led by the "cabinet" and a suitable candidate will be selected later.
As the name suggests, Xianyin Pavilion is responsible for recruiting and discovering disciples and leading them on the path to immortality. The Pavilion Master is naturally the Great Elder Liu Quan who was previously responsible for recruiting disciples.
Liu Quan's spiritual heart has collapsed now, and his cultivation has stopped at the late stage of foundation building. This is a leisurely position and he does not have to worry about too many matters.
After Xianyin Pavilion recruits qualified disciples, they will make unified arrangements. If there are extraordinary talents, the masters of each hall and pavilion can give priority to choosing them as their own personal disciples.
The last is the Immortal Worker Pavilion, which is responsible for the construction of the sect, as well as the forging of various shuttles, warships, and weapons.
The Pavilion Master is the third elder Liu Yuan!
In addition, the sect's original division into inner and outer disciples has not changed and is still as previously formulated. Those in the Qi Refining stage are outer disciples, and those who break through the Qi Refining stage and reach the Foundation Establishment stage can enter the inner sect.
Above the inner sect are the direct disciples.
Anyone who is accepted as a disciple by the masters of the three halls and three pavilions of the sect is the sect's direct disciple. Of course, only the sect's head disciple is eligible to enter the "Sect Council", and the candidate for the sect master is selected from the "Cabinet" and "Sect Council" as well as all the direct disciples.
The main peak of the Daming Immortal Sect.
Jiajing’s current identity is the head of the Daming Immortal Sect. The inheritance pavilion has also been incorporated into the resources hall. Naturally, his residence has also been moved from the original inheritance elder’s place to the main peak where the head is located.
The Daming Immortal Sect is located in the center of the mountains. From afar, the mountains are continuous and the peaks of 1,800 feet high are as straight as arrows, nailed into the mountains. Among them, the main peak is not the highest of all the peaks, but it is the most central, spectacular and largest mountain.
The long and neat bluestone path winds its way up. Every few steps, there is a fork in the road. It is very narrow at first, but then it becomes passable. In the depths, there is an open area.
There are courtyards, pavilions, or suspended corridors nailed on the mountainside. Countless waterfalls of hundreds, hundreds, or thousands of feet high hang unevenly from the main peak and pour down like several jade belts.
On top of the main peak, unknown vegetation is intertwined, with twisted branches and leaves, and the air is deep, mysterious, and filled with an ancient atmosphere.
Going all the way up, we arrived at the deepest part of the 900-foot peak. There were misty clouds and buildings everywhere. Many pavilions and towers were suspended in the air, like a mirage, dreamy and mysterious.
Around the entire building complex, there are many suspended cone-shaped mountains, or there are island-like decorations surrounding them. There are also gravel and spiritual plants around them, forming a circle of light far away.
There are clearly broken stones and scattered spiritual plants, but it does not look messy at all. Instead, there is a kind of mysterious aura floating around.
This was naturally the "decoration package" designed by Tiangong Pavilion for the main peak hall. For the main peak hall alone, Jiajing spent an additional eight million taels of spiritual energy. This layer of halo was an integrated offensive and defensive formation.
Not only that, the array's core, array base, and array patterns are constantly changing and reorganizing. If you want to break the array, you must know the "secret text", and the secret text can only be known after recognizing the master.
Once this integrated offensive and defensive formation is activated, even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage will have to avoid its sharp edge, and the materials of the debris, spiritual plants and other debris floating around it will change.
Of course, the strength of the formation will continue to increase.
If all the countless debris around were spiritual tools, then let alone the Nascent Soul stage, even if it was the God Transformation or the Refining Void stage, there would be no way to break through. To put it bluntly, this was a large offensive and defensive formation that could be advanced.
Its strength is stronger than the entire sect’s protective formation!
Of course, the consumption is also immeasurable. For this reason, Jiajing also buried a fifth-grade spiritual vein under his main peak, which is used for this mountain protection formation to absorb spiritual energy all the time.
The main reason why Jiajing did this was because Li Changqing's Yuanying stage spirit pet shocked him. With this formation, even a Yuanying stage spirit would have no chance of breaking through.
Above the main peak hall.
"After today, you will be my direct disciples." Jiajing sat on the throne in the main hall, looking at the five young men and women standing below.
The five people are the eldest disciple Xu Shixing, the second disciple Feng Sheng, the third disciple Dugu Donglai, the fourth disciple Li Yu and the youngest disciple Liu Wei.
The little fat boy Dugu Donglai has become more and more plump, and looks inexplicably funny.
Those bright eyes were rolling around, and I had no idea what he was thinking. He didn't look like a person who would be content with what he was doing.
However, this little fat boy is indeed a genius. After more than ten years, his cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi training, and his cultivation has even reached the eighth level of Qi training, which is close to that of Xu Tian, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall.
As for Li Yu, she has grown from a four-year-old girl into an eighteen-year-old girl. She is tall and slender, with her chest held high and her head held high. There is a hint of pride in her. She is a confident and proud girl.
Her cultivation was also in the late stage of Qi training, having reached the seventh level of Qi training. She was indeed a genius. Of course, both of them had family support.
The reason why Jiajing accepted these two as his personal disciples was because of the face of the three Dugu brothers and Liu Quan.
Of course, also because these two are from the Dugu family, the lineage of the patriarch, Jiajing needs to appease the Dugu family to a certain extent.
Now that he has succeeded to the position of the head of the Daming Immortal Sect, according to the rules of the academy and the clan system, he should choose someone from his own bloodline family. This is in line with the rules. Of course, this is not a must.
The patriarchal system of the immortal cultivation world of Arcturus is somewhat different from the patriarchal system of the Ming Dynasty in terms of successors.
Normally, the academy would not forcibly interfere with the selection of the sect's leader; it must be based on blood relationship or inheritance by the eldest son, but the general rules stipulate this.
But as long as there is no objection after discussion within the sect and the family, the candidate for the leader can be someone else, such as a disciple.
Dugu Ba, the eldest son of the Dugu family and also the patriarch, agreed to let Jiajing be the head of the Daming Immortal Sect for two reasons.
First of all, it was due to pressure from Li Changqing.
The Dugu family cannot afford to offend high-ranking officials in the academy like Li Changqing.
Jiajing has the support of the academy's top brass. If he fails to see the current situation, the end result may be that his family will disappear forever.
Secondly, no matter what, Dugu Ying was indebted to Jiajing, and it can be said that the three Dugu Ying brothers made Jiajing successful.
Moreover, Jiajing was a great cultivator in the Jindan stage. If the sect leader was in the Jindan stage, the Dugu family would still be a seventh-grade family. On the contrary, if a person from the Dugu family was chosen, the family would be downgraded.
The family also needs to develop. The competition in Sifang City is so fierce. How many people are eyeing the territory of a seventh-rank family like the Dugu family? For the continuation of the family, he must choose Jiajing.
Jiajing could naturally see through Dugu Ba's intentions. In order to appease the Dugu family, he took in Dugu Donglai and Li Yu.
Dugu Donglai is the head of the Dugu family and the eldest son of Dugu Ba. Li Yu is Dugu Ba's younger sister and the daughter of Dugu Qingqing.
These two were also the confidants designed by Liu Quan to be trained in the sect for Dugu Ying, who had no descendants.
As the direct disciples of the headmaster, these two are naturally members of the "Sect Council" and can be said to hold great power. The future headmaster will also be chosen from the direct disciples of the "Cabinet" and the "Sect Council".
In this way, Jiajing gave the Dugu family the hope of becoming the leader of the sect and returning to the family bloodline.
Afterwards, Jiajing turned his attention to Xu Shixing, Feng Sheng and Liu Wei.
Xu Shixing still had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face, and a dark green gown, looking honest and steady.
He was the oldest and most accomplished of the twelve children. He was also the eldest of the five direct disciples and was already twenty-six years old this year.
Thanks to the resources left by Jiajing, his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi training. Under the observation of the Golden Core stage's spiritual consciousness, there have been changes in the acupoints in his body. I'm afraid he will be able to build a foundation in a month or so.
Then came the second disciple Feng Sheng.
He is second only to Xu Shixing in age, and is 24 years old this year. His cultivation level is the same as Dugu Donglai, at the eighth level of Qi training.
As his cultivation deepened, he was no longer the thin and malnourished man he used to be. He was dressed in a white linen robe, and although his figure still looked thin, he became more elegant and confident.
The last one is the young disciple Liu Wei.
She is sixteen years old this year. The little girl who used to wear two pigtails and beige linen clothes and looked rustic has changed a lot, but she has a sense of nonchalance.
Her hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, her very recognizable single eyelids drooped casually, her clothes were also a bit casual, and she looked like she had not woken up yet.
Occasionally, when she raised her eyelids, she revealed a pair of eyes that were slightly clear and as white as autumn water.
However, her fair and tight skin and slender neck told everyone that she was a beauty.
The little girl's cultivation is also quite good, having reached the sixth level of Qi training.
Among all the disciples nowadays, he can be considered a little genius, at least he lives up to the title of being the master's personal disciple.
"From today on, you should study hard and practice diligently, guard against arrogance and impatience, and not be greedy for success and act rashly. You should take it as your responsibility to strengthen the sect, and remember not to kill each other." Jiajing said solemnly.
"Yes, disciples will follow Master's orders!" Upon hearing this, the five people immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully to Jiajing.
"Well," Jiajing did not just say polite words, and raised his hand to reward each of them with a fourth-grade storage bag, "There are some cultivation resources prepared by your master in it. When you break through the foundation, your master will buy exclusive superior cultivation techniques for you from the academy."
"Of course, your natal items will also be purchased!"
"Thank you, Master!" Dugu Donglai and the others couldn't help but smile as they looked at the fourth-grade storage bag in front of them, which was five grades higher than the ninth-grade storage bag they were using.
Especially when he heard that after breaking through the foundation-building stage, the master would specifically go to the academy to buy exclusive superior cultivation techniques and natal objects for his own people, this made even the steady Xu Shixing smile.
In today's world of cultivating immortals, the techniques practiced by most sects are all passed down from generation to generation.
For example, whatever the master practices, the disciples will practice.
Is this for the sake of unity? Or is it necessary? Neither!
That’s because there simply aren’t that many unique and superior skills.
If there is a superior technique that suits oneself, no cultivator will give up the more suitable one and choose the one that is passed down from others.
Then the question is, if the disciple does not practice the master's technique, won't the master's inheritance be cut off? Of course not!
The inheritance between master and disciple is recognized by the laws of nature, especially in the immortal cultivation world of Arcturus. Under the patriarchal system, the relationship between master and disciple is like that between parents and children. This is a law of etiquette that must not be broken.
Even if it is taken to other big stars, the master-disciple relationship is still inseparable.
Therefore, the inheritance between master and disciple contains not only skills, but also the concept of practice, family affection, the path of cultivation and so on.
There will never be a situation where the relationship between master and disciple becomes unclose due to different cultivation methods.
However, in most sects, masters and disciples are of the same lineage, and the main reason is limited resources!
As a result, a common phenomenon will occur, that is, even though they have the same master, the same skills, their natal talents are not bad, and the resource supply of natal objects is similar, some people practice quickly and reach a high level, while others are extremely bad.
It's a question of the compatibility of the exercises!
Therefore, whenever a cultivator has a superior technique that is specifically suitable for him to choose, the master will even take the initiative to ask his disciple to choose it.
If you want something unique, you can either buy it from an auction house, but the skills will be backed up, so there is uncertainty. Some large chambers of commerce are essentially immortal forces.
If there are good things, I will naturally not collect them.
If you want to practice a unique technique that has never appeared on Arcturus and has been passed down for several generations, you can only rely on luck and obtain it in some ancient ruins or secret realms.
Why are some of the major clans in the Central Plains so keen on starting wars? Why are they so keen on developing various secret realms and relics?
One of the goals is to obtain superior skills that are several eras away from the current era and have not been passed down from generation to generation.
Then, all the acquired skills will be stored in one's own inheritance place, and then passed on according to the aptitude of the spirit of the weapon.
In addition, if you want to obtain more advanced inherited skills that do not exist in the current era, you can only purchase them from the academy.
Speaking of the world of immortal cultivation on Arcturus, where can you find the most inherited skills that do not exist in the world, and where have the most and the best ones, naturally it is the academy.
However, if outsiders wanted to obtain these skills from the academy, they had to spend a lot of spiritual energy to buy them. Moreover, even if they had money, they might not be able to buy them. They also needed someone familiar to introduce them.
Unfortunately, everyone in the southeastern part of the Great Wilderness knows that the leader of the Daming Immortal Sect and the academy, the person from the first family of the three main veins, has a close relationship with Li Changqing. Wasn't it because of the support of the other party that he became the leader?
With such a powerful and extraordinary master, it is not a problem to get them a superior technique. "Okay, everyone go down." Looking at the three people, Jiajing's serious face relaxed slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Shixing, stay. I have something to tell you."
Others don't care about it.
From now on, Xu Shixing is their eldest senior brother. What's so strange about the master asking the eldest senior brother to arrange some things?
"I wonder if Master has any instructions for me?" At this moment, the excitement on Xu Shixing's face had long gone, and he had regained his previous steady appearance.
Looking at the steady Xu Shixing, Jiajing felt satisfied.
"Do you have anything to say about the current situation of the sect?" There was a hint of testing in Jiajing's tone as he spoke.
Hearing this, Xu Shixing was slightly startled. After a brief silence, he bowed to Jiajing and said slowly:
"Master was able to succeed the position of headmaster because of Mr. Li's support, which may cause others to complain..."
As he spoke, he paused slightly, looked up at Jiajing, and after seeing that his master was not angry, he continued: "The predecessor of my Daming Immortal Sect was the Black Wind Village, and there are many brothers and relatives in the village."
"The Great Elder and others may not have any ideas, but it is hard to guarantee that others will not have ideas, especially... the Dugu family."
"However, after Master succeeded to the position of the head, some of the changes he made to the sect also won the favor of many people, and also gave the Dugu family and others hope."
"For example, Master proposed that the future leader be selected from the direct disciples of the 'Cabinet' and the 'Sect Council'. This shows that Master has no intention of usurping the throne, which is very popular. Master once taught his disciples that whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world."
"However, I think that Master should cultivate his own direct family and successors as soon as possible, gather talents regardless of kinship, and compete together in the future," Xu Shixing said, taking a deep breath and said:
"Although the Daming Immortal Sect was founded by the first sect leader, everyone can see the changes that the Daming Immortal Sect has undergone in the past three months!"
"And these are what Sect Leader Dugu does not possess!"
"Therefore, the future development of the Daming Immortal Sect still depends on Master."
"I want to tell you, Master." Xu Shixing bowed to Jiajing and said, "Please, Master, don't put yourself in shackles because of the relationship with Master Dugu. You still have to fight!"
"In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected and the strength is respected. Master has a strong cultivation, good talent, and a background in the academy. Only Master can lead the Ming Dynasty to glory."
"If Master can lead the Ming Dynasty to a better future, it will be a living up to the foundation established by Sect Leader Dugu."
"As for the Dugu family, we will give them some rewards in the future and allow them to develop under the protection of the Ming Dynasty. If there are geniuses in their family in the future, it is not impossible for them to establish their own family."
"It can be considered as compensation to Sect Leader Dugu."
After saying this, Xu Shixing bowed and stopped talking.
Looking at Xu Shixing in the hall, who had been talking eloquently, behaving steadily and knowing when to move forward and backward, Jiajing's eyes showed satisfaction. He felt that his training and teaching of Xu Shixing during his previous several visits were worth it.
When I asked him to talk about the sect's situation, he instantly understood what I wanted to hear.
Xu Shixing bluntly stated the biggest potential conflict within the sect right now. On the one hand, it was answering his own question, and on the other hand, it was also stating his own position.
If Xu Shixing were placed in the Ming Dynasty today, based on his thinking mode, he would be considered a qualified official.
"Shi Xing, you didn't disappoint me." Jia Jing nodded with a smile, and then said, "Next, the southeast region may undergo great changes, and it will also be the time for our Ming Dynasty to take off."
"So in the next period of time, I may be very busy and will be away from the sect for a long time," Jiajing said in a slow tone, "As my eldest disciple, you are not only the eldest brother of the Daming Immortal Sect, but also the first member of the 'Sect Council'."
"Therefore, you must establish absolute prestige among all the disciples and make yourself worthy of the title of the sect's eldest brother."
"You, Feng Sheng and Liu Wei, all come from humble backgrounds. Your parents died long before the Black Wind Village, and you have no family elders to help you. Your master is similar to you," Jiajing said, staring at Xu Shixing with a serious look, "Therefore, we, the master and the disciple, should be of one mind! The Ming Dynasty is your home!"
"Master wants you to work with me to develop Daming into the number one sect in the Great Wilderness, on par with and surpassing the major sects in the Central Plains, and even to a height that even the academy cannot easily offend!"
"Are you willing to join me?"
Listening to Jiajing's words, Xu Shixing's eyes were also burning, recalling that he, Feng Sheng and Liu Wei, although they were also descendants of the people of Black Wind Village, had to be abandoned by the Great Elder because they had no relatives to help them, and were seated at the end.
If it weren't for the master, who would find them every time he came out of seclusion, secretly give them special training and give them some resources for cultivation, how could they compare with Dugu Donglai and others?
Not to mention he wouldn’t be the direct disciple of the sect master.
In terms of sect power, he is a member of the "Sect Council" and has the power to veto the decisions of the "cabinet" elders.
Dugu Donglai and the others have their own relatives to support them, but the three of them only have their master behind them!
Master is like a “father” to them.
There is nothing wrong in calling him "father". They were raised by their master. Liu Wei was still young at that time and had few memories of her parents. But it was different for Feng Sheng and I.
But as they grow older, read more, learn to read, and gain more understanding, plus they know only the warmth and coldness of drinking water, they know even more that, in some ways, their master is more important than their own bandit parents!
After all, it was the Master who gave them a future with infinite possibilities!
Thinking back to this, Xu Shixing's heart was deeply moved. At the same time, he silently vowed in his heart that he would assist his master wholeheartedly, carry forward the Daming Immortal Sect, and stand at the pinnacle of the world of immortal cultivation!
"Okay," Jiajing smiled at Xu Shixing, whose emotions fluctuated violently, and said leniently, "Go and do your own thing."
Originally, asking Xu Shixing was just a test to see the quality of this candidate whom he had decided on at first sight.
Over the years in Daming, he would occasionally find time to return to Daming Immortal Sect. After all, seclusion does not mean death.
Every time he returned to the Daming Immortal Sect, he would give special training to the three little guys, Xu Shixing, Feng Sheng and Liu Wei, whom he had selected.
Under his training, the three of them lived up to his expectations, especially Xu Shixing, who made rapid progress.
Whether in terms of intelligence or cultivation, he is top-notch!
Of course, what satisfied Jiajing the most was Xu Shishi's political acumen and understanding, as well as some of the "imperial skills" he taught him, including how to control subordinates and how to maneuver power.
Although we cannot say that they can be compared with the children of officials who grew up in official families in the Ming Dynasty, such as the Yan family, they are definitely better than the children of officials who came from ordinary families in the Ming Dynasty.
Just as Jiajing said, he couldn't stay in the Daming Immortal Sect forever. After all, for him, Daming was his real base and the foundation for him to get involved in the world of immortal cultivation in the future.
As for the Daming Immortal Sect, he needs his own trusted confidants to take charge!
Xu Shixing, the eldest senior brother of the sect, is the most suitable candidate. Of course, he can also be assisted by Feng Sheng, his confidant who is excellent in wisdom and in grasping people's hearts.
As for Liu Wei, choosing this little girl was just a casual move. Having one more confidant also means having one more backup plan. Fortunately, now it seems that this girl is also a genius, and her destiny is also extraordinary.
These three people will be the important backup forces who will help me control the Daming Immortal Sect when I am not there in the future!
"Yes, the disciple retire."
Xu Shixing suppressed his emotions, bowed to Jiajing, then turned around and walked away.
Looking at Xu Shixing's departing back, Jiajing smiled, but then his expression became serious. He opened a storage ring with an idea in his mind.
The grade of this storage ring has reached the sixth grade.
This was one of the many rewards that Li Changqing bestowed on Dugu Ying on behalf of the academy when he succeeded to the position of headmaster for his help in capturing the evil monks.
In addition to this storage ring, there are many other things, such as an eighth-grade spiritual vein, five million spiritual sources, and a hundred pills of foundation-building pills. Other things such as talismans, magic tools, and treasures also have more than ten kinds each.
In Li Changqing's words, the reason why he was willing to give the Ming Dynasty so many resources as a reward was entirely for Jiajing's sake.
However, except for this storage ring, all these resources were given by Jiajing to the Dugu family.
This move naturally won the favor of many people in the Dugu family, as well as some old people from the Black Wind Village in the sect.
Of course, Jiajing did not do this purely to win people's hearts.
In Jiajing's eyes, the current Dugu family poses no threat at all to the power level of the Ming Immortal Sect. The reason for doing so is entirely for the sake of the face of the three Dugu brothers and Liu Quan.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Jiajing had an idea and took out a bundle of sealed scrolls. He probed his spiritual sense into them and began to examine them.
A huge space, filled with spiritual sources, and within these spiritual sources, there are balls of light. These balls of light are naturally the life of the cultivators.
This is done to ensure the vitality of these animals so that they can be transplanted directly if a customer needs them.
After Liu Quan was no longer responsible for the business dealings with Li Zhiqin, this batch of resources that were about to be delivered and were not allowed to be seen in the open were naturally handed over to Jiajing.
"Natural resources," Jiajing looked at the natural resources soaked in the spiritual source in front of him, his eyes flickered, and he was thinking, "With so many high-quality natural resources, I wonder if I can directly use the Ming Dynasty to give some of the Ming Dynasty's subjects with bad natural resources..."
That’s right, Jiajing was planning on taking advantage of these people’s destiny.
He did not forget that the natal fields could make the subjects of the Ming Dynasty voluntarily hand over their natal fields, and of course, they could also give them back without any side effects.
Because all the subjects are already part of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't this better than the so-called mature transplantation method in the world of immortal cultivation?
If that is the case, why can't we directly use the Ming Dynasty to match these high-quality destinies with the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and then smoothly replace them with better destinies?
In order to enhance the overall strength of the Ming Dynasty's subjects?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, and the light in Jiajing's eyes became brighter and brighter!
Even one day in the future, the subjects of the Ming Dynasty will be able to exchange their desired destiny through their political achievements and merits?
In this way, wouldn't it be possible to further mobilize the enthusiasm of all the subjects of the Ming Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Rao Jiajing couldn't help but smile. He had already seen a day in the future when the ministers of the Ming Dynasty would beg to surrender their lives in the hope of a better day.
"Huh!" However, Jiajing suppressed his imagination for the time being. Looking at the twenty or so high-quality destiny in front of him, he thought to himself, "Whether it is feasible or not, it requires someone to take the lead and be the first to try it out..."
"But there is no rush for now. We should deal with the affairs in the Great Wilderness and help Daming get some high-quality mineral veins and some medicinal fields. We should help Daming build these infrastructures."
"As for the transplantation of one's natal life, let's wait until we return to Ming Dynasty... If this method is feasible, then no matter what, I will have to intervene in Li Changqing's natal life business." Jiajing thought secretly.
As to whether this method was against the harmony of nature or too cruel, this was not something Jiajing considered at all.
Because he is just a porter between two worlds.
Those who don't behave like human beings are the senior members of the academy like Li Changqing and the big clans in the Central Plains. Their hands are clean from beginning to end.
If one day this dark industry can be eradicated, it can only be done by the entire Ming Dynasty invading the world of immortal cultivation and governing the world with the "Ming Dynasty Law".
"So only my Great Ming can save the entire world of cultivation. Only my Great Ming is the savior of the world of cultivation!"
Time flies, and it’s the end of the month in a blink of an eye.
Da Ming calendar, the sixtieth year of Jiajing, the end of October.
It was also on this day that a huge change occurred in the Wild Market. The reason was that disciples from the Academy's Law Enforcement Hall conducted a random investigation and discovered that there was smuggling of spirit veins, buying and selling of natal lives, and even trafficking of spirit stones in the Wild Market.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the news quickly spread throughout the twelve major immortal cultivation cities in the Great Wilderness.
Afterwards, the great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage who was stationed in Sifang City was furious, and his terrifying divine sense descended, instantly blocking the entire wild market.
Then, the leaders of the three major sects who had the right to operate and make decisions in the wild market were held accountable, and Jiajing was naturally among them.
It's all just a show.
Because the person who investigated the whole thing was a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage from Sifang City, who was also from the Li family, the first of the three clans in the academy.
As early as before, the Ming Dynasty had received news from Li Changqing that the caravans would no longer transport spiritual veins, natal spirits, and spirit stones in the near future.
At that time, Jiajing knew that Li Changqing was going to take action to eliminate all the pawns of other clans in the southeastern area of the Great Wilderness.
Everything happened just as expected. The culprits were the two sects: Huangfeng Valley which had the right to operate the wild market, and Yushoumen which had the decision-making and management rights.
Afterwards, the academy announced the crimes of the two major sects.
In the whole incident, the Daming Immortal Sect, which also had the decision-making power, became the only victim.
In the eyes of all cultivators, the Yellow Wind Valley and the Beast Taming Sect cooperated to undermine the decision-making power of the Daming Immortal Sect over the Wild City.
Then Huang Fenggu was not satisfied with his own ambitions, and took advantage of his relationship with the Xiaoshushan Immortal Sect and the Qingyuan Immortal Sect. Several major sects united and started the smuggling spirit vein business.
Afterwards, he cooperated with roaming evil cultivators and began to hunt down independent cultivators. He used trade routes to sell his life force to several surrounding immortal cultivation cities and even the Central Plains.
As the business grew bigger, sects like Huangfeng Valley somehow colluded with some independent cultivators in the Central Plains and started the spirit stone business, harming the people!
Not only that, several major sects are also involved in human trafficking, flesh trade, etc. It is no exaggeration to say that they have committed numerous crimes.
Afterwards, the academy issued a decree to disband the Yellow Wind Valley, the Qingyuan Immortal Sect, the Xiaoshushan Immortal Sect, and the Beast Taming Sect. All participants were executed, and the cultivators who had participated in the buying and selling of spirit veins, spirit stones, and natal spirits, as well as the families behind them, were arrested and all were dealt with severely and strictly!
As for Wuqing Mountain, which had no involvement from the beginning to the end, it was not spared. After layers of screening and investigation, it was discovered that there were also disciples in Wuqing Mountain who purchased and used spirit stones for cultivation.
As for the reason why Wuqing Mountain was forced to disband, in the view of many cultivators in the Great Wilderness, it was entirely because the academy was too angry this time, and the people of Wuqing Mountain were in danger.
Some people even believed that considering the merit of Fairy Wuqing who died in battle while helping the academy disciples capture the evil monks, as long as Wuqing Mountain did not go too far, they should show leniency.
As luck would have it, they bumped into the edge of a knife. It was a pity for those bad-tempered but beautiful female cultivators. From then on, they could only become casual cultivators and live in the world.
Of course, these are just topics of conversation among the lower-level monks after dinner and their imaginations of the aftermath of the battlefield after their game with the upper-level monks.
For the vast majority of cultivators at the bottom, they will never know the truth behind the academy's purge in the wilderness in their entire lives. In fact, it is nothing more than a struggle among the academy's top leaders.
As for all the monks who died because of this, no one will remember them, and no one will mention them.
At this point, in the southeastern area of the Great Wilderness, several powerful sects with extraordinary backgrounds and tyrannical strength that had made great contributions in the pioneering war and were specially authorized by the academy to establish their own sects were directly uprooted.
The rest are just a few big cats and small cats who did not participate in the fight and have clean backgrounds. Or they are small sects established by a major clan in the Central Plains, a patriarch, or his trusted disciples.
And everything happened just as Li Changqing had said to Jiajing. All the pawns of the three branches of the academy in the southeastern area of the Great Wilderness were eliminated.
Next, naturally, it is time for Daming, a sect that has the academy as its backer and is headed by a great Jindan-stage monk, to "eat as much as the world can", strengthen itself, and harvest territory and resources.
In Li Changqing's words, the academy felt that the Daming Immortal Sect was honest and upright, and since they were just "small sects", they appointed the Daming Immortal Sect to investigate and confiscate these major sects.
Naturally, the Li family won the game in the end. As the senior members of the academy, they were naturally responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
As for the benefits gained from "conspiring against the sect", on the surface it was said that they were handed over to the academy, but in fact they were handed over to the Li family. According to what was agreed upon at the beginning, naturally all of them belonged to the Daming Immortal Sect.
This time, the clan was raided by Jiajing, a great monk in the Jindan stage, who led the team personally and searched every household.
Jiajing naturally took this opportunity to secretly mark several mineral veins and medicinal fields with his natal object, the Ming Dynasty.
Just wait until we return to Ming Dynasty and move back there!
However, what surprised Jiajing was that this time of copying the clan's name also brought an unexpected gain.
That was when they were raiding the Huangfeng Valley and the sect's treasury, they found a human spine that was exactly the same as the one they had stolen from Li Changqing.
"Another piece of spine?" Looking at the spine in his hand, Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing its origin in his heart.
"..."
