Chapter 422

two months later.

Zhou Ming retreated from his position at the head of Zhenlin City, officially living in the second line.

At this time, he just turned 40 years old and completely entered middle age.

And the brilliant career he has created in the past 20 years has attracted the worship of countless ordinary people, which is enough to make the immortals of the sect sigh with emotion.

A mortal can create so many "miracles".

Whether it's commercial or military... This mortal is far beyond people's imagination.

It can even be said that he changed the world.

He is very successful in his career, but in terms of personal cultivation, he is not flattered.

Early stage of condensation.

Zhou Ming's cultivation has been stuck at this stage for many years.

Hardly any progress.

And another control character in the "two-lane mode"——Ye Kong, with his outstanding talent, is now an immortal in the later stage of Gu Dan, not to mention the elder of Guanglei Mountain, and in his lifetime, he still hopes to go higher trance shock.

In contrast, Zhou Ming, who is as skilled as a rookie, is someone who can be crushed to death with one finger in front of Ye Kong.

The main reason is the large gap in qualifications.

But it also has something to do with Zhou Ming usually not having much time to practice.

Moreover, the system also has an "on-hook training" function. Whenever Zhou Ming briefly returns to reality, this function can still put the character's body in a training state. The advantage is that it does not delay the growth of strength, and the disadvantage is that it affects the improvement of the realm.

However, due to many things, Zhou Ming gradually became dependent on "on-hook training". Even in the dungeon, he often asked the system to enable this function to save time in meditation.

Now, he is a 40-year-old middle-aged man, the golden period of practice has passed, and it is almost impossible to break through.

The system also suggested: this body can be forced to quit after another 30 to [-] years, so as not to waste time.

However, Zhou Ming has his own plan.

"In this round, the career development is very good. In terms of cultivation, one is limited to talent, and the other is neglect of practice. It is basically impossible to break through from mortal to immortal level."

"We can only pin our hopes on the next game, matching someone with higher talent."

"However, the solid foundation laid in this round is still the key to success in the next round!"

"Cultivation by the whole people, a new model of research and practice for the whole academy, can bring together the wisdom of hundreds of millions of people, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of people practicing together, comprehending and summarizing together, and writing the better exercises and comprehensions into the book , put it in the library of Daxian College, and after scanning it into the database of the system, all these valuable materials can be used as a reference for me.”

In the library of Daxian College, there are currently 873 kinds of exercises, and more than [-] volumes of various notes and insights.

I believe there will be more in the future.

In addition to the "Smart Center" library, since last month, a huge building covering several acres and a foundation nearly 20 meters deep has been built in an open field on the back mountain of Daxian College. With the construction of thousands of skilled workers, Will be up and running within a year.

Juling Pagoda!
The most important functional building of Daxian College.

The business card of Future Town Forest City, a new city landmark that is taller than the city hall building.

On the design drawings, the appearance of the Juling Pagoda is not only eye-catching, but also the various parameters and architectural requirements are also jaw-dropping.

Height: 160 meters.

Number of layers: 40 layers.

Total internal area: 1 square meters.

Maximum capacity: 5000 people.

Adjustable aura concentration: 10 to 1000 times (the first layer has the lowest concentration, and the No.40 layer has the highest concentration).

Finally, the cost of this Juling Pagoda is jaw-droppingly high.

The cost of materials alone requires one billion spiritual coins.

Because if you want to realize the "vortex siphon" effect of Juling Pagoda on the surrounding spirits, you need to use a lot of "soul stones", and draw a lot of "soul stones" on the surface of metal-like materials such as Yaojin, Chijing, and Xuanxing Iron. The texture with complex lines promotes the absorption of spiritual energy.

In addition, small pieces of "spiritual coins" should be spread on the floors of each floor in the Juling Pagoda, and then covered with futons, which is equivalent to a practitioner sitting on the "spiritual coins" to practice. The "spiritual coin" that can automatically absorb spiritual energy also has the obvious effect of accelerating cultivation.

And these hundreds of millions of spirit coins spread on the floor were not included in the cost of materials.

So not only for Zhenlin City, but also for this world, Juling Pagoda is an astonishing super project.

It is also the key to Zhenlin City becoming stronger in the future.

Funding is not a problem at all. Zhou Ming only hopes that the Juling Pagoda can be completed and put into use as soon as possible. For this reason, he personally serves as the project team leader and directs the construction on the construction site every day.

The construction of Juling Pagoda has become his top priority!
"Shanhe, you just stepped back from your position at the head of the city. You should take a good rest for a few days. There is someone in charge of the construction site, so why do you come here every day? You look busier than before."

A clear voice came from beside him. Gao Xiuzhen, the vice principal in charge of academic affairs, also came to the construction site which was in full swing.

Zhou Ming, who was wearing a hard hat on his head, turned his head and glanced at her, and said, "The Juling Pagoda is of great importance, I can't do it myself if I don't come and catch it myself."

"I know, but you also have to pay attention to your body. You have aged a lot in the past few years. I thought it would be a lot easier after retiring as the chief of the city, but I didn't expect to be so busy."

Gao Xiuzhen's voice was full of distress and complaints. The one who felt distressed was his body, and the one who complained was the promise made to her by this man to "retire after retiring". It has not been fulfilled until now, and she is still as busy as ever. cause.

"Xiuzhen, there are currently 3000 students in Daxian College, and more than 6000 have graduated, a total of 200 people, but more than 2000 people are stuck in the middle stage of liquid condensation, and more than [-] people are stuck in the late stage of gas refining. The hope of breaking through has been stuck for a long time, why?"

"Insufficient spiritual energy concentration."

"It is said that for sects with large spiritual veins, the concentration of spiritual energy in the best cave is more than a thousand times that of the mortal world, and it is also more than a hundred times that of ordinary caves. The disciples of the outer sect who are not qualified to practice in the cave have a higher concentration of spiritual energy when they practice outside. More than twenty times."

"This is the reason why the sect is strong. Their disciples' cultivation speed is very fast, so there is no need to worry about the lack of spiritual energy."

He shook his head: "It's not good in the mortal world. The spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin. Although it doesn't have much impact in the early stage, but in the later stage, the restrictions will become greater, and it will even affect the breakthrough."

"It is difficult to increase the number of high-strength monks in Zhenlin City."

"With Juling Pagoda, it will be different!"

"With this tower, students don't have to worry about the lack of spiritual energy anymore, and they can practice in the environment like the fairy mountain and blessed land. The problem of limiting the speed of practice is solved, and the strength of Zhenlin City will leap forward again!"

The more Zhou Ming talked, the more excited he became: "After the Juling Pagoda is put into use, I believe it will not be long before Zhenlin City will add thousands of monks at the liquid condensation stage, and even a second "immortal" at the solid alchemy stage will appear. With the unique education system of Xian Academy, the model of universal education and universal cultivation, we can train one monk for every 300 people."

"As for the Zongmen, about every 10 to [-] people, one person is selected and sent to the Zongmen to practice."

"That is to say, the efficiency of cultivating monks at Daxian College is more than a hundred times that of Zongmen."

"If we can equalize the sect in terms of average cultivation speed, in less than ten years, the strength of Zhenlin City will not be weaker than that of a millennium sect!"

"In another 50 years at most, the strength of Zhenlin City will be enough to crush the Wannian sect."

"It's nothing to worry about not talking about Chixing Mountain, this world will also enter the mortal era!"

"So I have to hurry up, build the Juling Pagoda earlier, and achieve those goals as soon as possible!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming is very ambitious, his eyes full of longing.

Seeing the man's appearance, Gao Xiuzhen on the side shook her head helplessly. She understood the man's ambition, but she also had to rest well, pay attention to work and rest, and didn't have to do everything by herself.

"Xiuzhen, after this Juling Pagoda is built, I will ask you for advice. It is reasonable to say that your aptitude is average, but in recent years, you have made faster and faster progress. A few days ago, you even broke through to the solid alchemy stage. I became the first local immortal in Zhenlin City...I really don’t know how you cultivated, I can’t catch up with you at all.”

Looking helplessly at Gao Xiuzhen, whose lifespan increased by 20 years after breaking through to the Gudan period, Zhou Ming also became younger like a [-]-year-old girl. In order to grow so fast and leave him so far behind, no matter how hard he catches up, he can't catch up.

Gao Xiuzhen can cultivate to the solid alchemy stage, so can I too?

Zhou Ming also thought about it, but the system said it was unlikely, because although Gao Xiuzhen's aptitude was mediocre, he had a lot of room for improvement, which belonged to the "acquired growth type" aptitude, and Zhou Ming's acquired growth room, logically speaking It is also relatively large, but it seems to have been vandalized, so there is not much possibility of improvement.

It is more than 99% possible to stay in the coagulation phase for life.

Vandalism?

Qualification can also be artificially destroyed?

Zhou Ming was taken aback by this, and there was a mystery in his heart.

Of course, even though he felt a little sour, he still congratulated Gao Xiuzhen for breaking through to the hard pill stage, and gave him a few gifts.

After Gao Xiuzhen accepted the congratulations and gifts, she also felt a sense of urgency in her heart, and urged Zhou Ming to step up her practice more frequently, hoping that he could break through the bottleneck and break through to the alchemy stage like her.

The lifespan of monks in the Gudan period can generally be increased by 500 years, so they are called "immortals".

And the lifespan of ordinary people in this world is only about a hundred years before they return to dust.

So the purpose of Gao Xiuzhen's hard work in the past few years is this: if she becomes a fairy, Zhang Shanhe also becomes a fairy, after Xia Xiaoyan dies, the remaining 400 years, wouldn't they be a couple of gods?
Who else can stop them all at once?
It is precisely with this belief that Gao Xiuzhen has made rapid progress in the past few years.

Zhang Shanhe suddenly stopped in place, how could she not be in a hurry?
So she said to the man: "When this Juling Pagoda is built, you have to listen to me and practice hard with me."

"no problem."

Zhou Ming winked at her and gave her an OK gesture.

The woman smiled sweetly.
