Practice begins with a fisherman

This also means that in the absence of a top-notch confrontation force, the many local overlords in Huang Ming's country, generally large and small, have to change their previous status.

Of course, relying solely on the deterrent power of an ancestor in the transformation stage is obviously not enough. Killing a chicken to show the monkey, before the big banquet, the royal family will definitely take action.

Peilingmen is not worried about this point. In the past thousand years, because their own strength has also been shrinking, in order to prevent random enemies, under the leadership of Zhang Yisheng, Peilingmen and the royal family The relationship is still quite harmonious.

Especially when both sides are facing an arrogant and domineering common enemy, Tianleizong, they will sell a large amount of low-level spirit grass to the royal family at a preferential price every year.

In addition, no matter which party is in power, it needs to consume a lot of spiritual grass. In terms of the inheritance of Peilingmen, it is necessary to ensure its own safety.

"Huh, in the mid-Yuanying period, the gap between the two sides is only one step away, but the combat power is not above the same level at all." Feeling the changes in his own cultivation in the cave, Zhao Shoushou was very moved and gratified.

It is very important for him to be promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul this time, and the next step is to plan for the late stage of Nascent Soul and even the stage of transformation.

Immersed in the joy of improving one's own cultivation base, busy with the stability of the newly promoted realm, ignorant of changes in the outside world.

This situation is destined not to last for too long, as one of the Yuanying Patriarchs in the name of Peilingmen, how can they really stay out of it?

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Zhao for being promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and his cultivation has gone a step further."

"Junior brother, it's good luck. The burial of the Seven Seal Pagoda should be a great harvest, but the promotion of junior brother's cultivation base is a big event for the sect."

The two monks Pei Yicai and Zhang Yisheng congratulated at the side, maybe because their hearts have been completely balanced, or for other reasons, both of them congratulated from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's just some small chances, nothing to worry about, but congratulations to Senior Brother Zhang for recovering from his injury, and Senior Brother Pei's cultivation has greatly improved," Zhao Shoushou responded from the side.

No matter what the true thoughts in the hearts of the three monks are, they are in a rare harmony at this time, discussing with each other the experiences of these years and the changes in the entire cultivation world in these years.

Of course, as a monk, the exchange of practice experience or insights is the most. As a veteran monk in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Zhang Yisheng almost taught him everything without hiding his secrets, which gave him a lot of insights.

Although Pei Yicai has not been promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he has quite a lot of practice experience, which cannot be underestimated. Generally speaking, he has gained a lot from this exchange.

"This time I failed to be promoted. It is estimated that the possibility of being promoted to the mid-stage Nascent Soul in a short period of time is not very high. I don't have much life left, and the deadline is approaching. The only thing I am worried about is the inheritance of the sect. After the old man is resigned How about asking Junior Brother Zhao to be the Great Elder of the sect and handle the affairs of the sect with full authority?" Zhang Yisheng changed his words, but the new topic made him feel a little bit on pins and needles.

Not to mention that Zhao Shoushou devoted himself to cultivating hard and had no idea of ​​managing a sect. Even if he had an idea, what if he was a monk who joined halfway?

If he wanted to successfully control the entire sect, unless the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Peiling Sect had all fallen and he was in a crisis.

Whether Zhang Yisheng's invitation is sincere or a kind of temptation is unknown, of course Zhao Shoushou will definitely not agree.

"The two senior brothers also know that I am a casual cultivator with a shallow background and know nothing about sect management. This task is absolutely impossible to complete. Senior brother Pei has managed affairs for many years and has a high prestige in the hearts of the sect's juniors. Why do you need me to do it for you?" Zhao Shoushou's refusal was quite decisive.

"The world of comprehension has always respected strength, so what's the point of mere management experience? What's more, there is a talent to assist." Zhang Yisheng did not give up easily.

"I am a hard-working person. I am dedicated to improving my own cultivation, and I have no spare energy to deal with the affairs of the sect. I invite Senior Brother Pei to be the Great Elder, and I will definitely help you with all my strength." This sentence is the real truth.

As a monk who devotes himself to self-cultivation and self-cultivation, some powers and complex affairs that are destined to be impossible to truly control in his hands consume too much energy.

If one really wants to control one side, one must choose a high-quality spiritual vein and build a brand new sect from scratch.

This is not too difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator. Under normal circumstances, 300 years is enough for a disciple from the Qi Refining Stage to the Golden Core Stage. For an infant monk, it is not too long.

From this point of view, Zhao Shoushou really doesn't have much reason to expend too much energy for Peilingmen. The only reason why he still stays here is precisely because judging from the current situation, he can still be a man of cultivation. Progression provides a certain amount of auxiliary power.

"Since Junior Brother Zhao is unwilling to take the position of Great Elder of the Zongmen, Junior Brother Pei will take up this position after the old man is resigned. I hope that the two Junior Brothers will work together to bring the Zongmen to a new level." Zhang Yisheng finally did make the final decision.

He had expected Zhao Shoushou's choice to a certain extent. Facing this result, he felt a little disappointed and also a little regretful. It was a kind of complicated emotion.

The discourse among the three quickly turned to the current situation of Huang Mingguo's royal family, and about the next strategy for the royal family.

"Since there are cultivators in the transformation stage, the royal family will definitely strengthen its control over various regions. How should we deal with it? What are the suggestions of the two junior brothers?" Zhang Yisheng changed his words and was already talking about another matter.

"The royal family has been dormant around the royal family for these years. At present, there are monks in the stage of transforming gods sitting in the town. As the saying goes, they will transform into dragons when they encounter a storm. Some rebellious people who rely on their own strength will definitely be settled after the fall, hehehe," Pei Yicai said in his tone. There is quite a feeling of gloating in misfortune.

"I think it's a good chance for the Zongmen. It is impossible for the royal family to kill all the Zongmen at once. They will definitely win over some of them. The Zongmen has always been on good terms with the royal family. It is impossible to say that they can take the opportunity to obtain some of them without bloodshed." Territory expansion" Zhao Shoushou also expressed some of his guesses.

Chapter 797

"Then this time, the royal family requires all monks in the Nascent Soul stage of each sect to enter the imperial city to discuss state affairs. How should the sect respond?" Zhang Yisheng asked a more difficult question.

In every sect, the Nascent Soul stage monks are equivalent to Dinghai Shenzhen. If they all attend the so-called big banquet according to the requirements of the royal family, if something happens, it will be a devastating blow to the entire sect.

On the other hand, if you don't participate for no reason, as the first appearance of the monks in the transformation stage, if you are a little narrow-minded, you will definitely not have good fruit in the future.

To sum up, for Zongmen, this is obviously a dilemma. Even if the relationship between Peilingmen and the royal family has always been harmonious, it is still unavoidable.

"Since it's the royal family's recruitment, I must go to participate this time, but it can be used as an excuse to retreat and practice, just send one person to participate." Pei Yicai adopted an intermediate strategy, which is the so-called mature and prudent words.

"What's your opinion, Junior Brother Zhao? This is a major issue involving the future development of the sect. It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, just speak freely." Zhang Yisheng asked on the side, obviously unwilling to let him stay out of the matter easily.

"I think the three of us should all attend the banquet on time, and present some treasures left by the elders of the sect." Zhao Shoushou and Pei Yicai's views were completely different, which was why he was unwilling to express his opinions easily.

"Why is this? Please tell me in detail." A brand-new point of view successfully attracted the attention of the two comrades.

"The relationship between Peilingmen and the royal family has always been harmonious. Every year, a large amount of elixir is supplied at a preferential price, even some of the most precious fourth-grade top-grade elixir. In addition, if the royal family wants to smoothly control the rights of the entire country, they will definitely buy it for a thousand dollars. Horse bones set a model." Zhao Shoushou obviously meant something.

"If the royal family has evil thoughts in their hearts and wants to wipe out all the monks who went to participate in one fell swoop, wouldn't we just send a life to the door for nothing?" Pei Yicai obviously disagreed.

"Brother, worry too much. The royal family is just adding a new cultivator in the early stage of transformation. Even if there are three heads and six arms, relying on the royal family's protective array, how many Nascent Soul cultivators can be blocked? What's more, once a big battle happens, the place where the royal family is located may not be able to resist." Preservation is in ruins"

"Besides, once a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators fall, the power of the entire Huangming Kingdom will be lost. Once the invasion of nearby countries is attracted, the real loss outweighs the gain."

Zhao Shoushou explained all the reasons clearly in one breath, and he was slightly relieved. He firmly believed that as long as he did not commit suicide, the royal family would not do everything.

"Junior Brother Zhao is right. The royal family's move should be to test the attitudes of the monks of all parties. They will certainly not risk the world's shame easily. Taking a step back, no matter whether the royal family can fully control Huang Mingguo in the future, they will need a A sect that can continuously cultivate elixir." Obviously Zhang Yisheng was successfully persuaded.

Half a day later, the three Nascent Soul stage monks reached an agreement to go to the imperial city on time to participate in the grand feast of the transformation stage according to the royal family's request, and prepared to present a treasure, a fifth-grade low-grade spiritual material left by the elders of the sect.

This piece of spiritual material is quite tasteless for Peilingmen, a treasure suitable for the transformation stage, its value and preciousness are beyond doubt.

However, with the current level of Peilingmen, it can't be used effectively. So far, the Artifact Refining Hall can only refine some third-order magic weapons suitable for the golden core stage, which is extremely pitiful.

Dedicating it as a gift to the royal family this time, on the one hand, it can show the sincerity of Peilingmen, and on the other hand, it can also show the foundation of a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Of course, as a qualified monk and sect, you must not place all your hopes on the royal family, and some due preparations are also essential.

Before setting off, Zhang Yisheng carefully took out three fifth-level low-grade void breaking talismans from Peilingmen's secret vault that was really used to store heavy treasures.

This is also a rare space attribute talisman, which can assist monks to break through the siege of space and open a relatively safe space passage.

These high-level talismans are all stored in some exclusive treasures, so as to ensure that no power will be leaked due to the passage of time.

It is precisely because of the existence of the three void-breaking talismans as confidence and support that Zhang Yisheng readily agreed to the proposal of the three Nascent Soul stage monks to go together.

"Fifth-order talismans, all kinds of treasures emerge one after another, this is the real foundation of a great sect, maybe in the hands of the other two, there are some more powerful treasures." Zhao Shoushou was very satisfied and surprised, and at the same time couldn't help but It's guesswork.

If there is danger among the royal family, Pei Yicai must be the first Yuanying Patriarch to be saved for Peilingmen, and Zhao Shoushou is at most the last one.

After seeing these treasures, Zhao Shoushou felt even more confident that if Peilingmen was like this, other sects must also have some lethal fifth-order treasures.

From this point of view, the royal family is obviously unable to overwhelm the audience by relying on an early-stage cultivator. At most, it is just regaining the initiative of Huang Mingguo. For a long time to come, the two sides will still be in a confrontation stage.

Time flies, and three months is just a small inconspicuous wave in a long life for a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.

It is [-] miles from Peilingmen to the imperial city, but for the three Nascent Soul cultivators, it was just a day and night. The journey went smoothly, even if they flew over some famous dangerous places, Still no fourth-order monster came to stop him.

With the improvement of cultivation base and strength, the IQ of monster beasts also increases linearly, and they will not easily participate in battles that are too strong to win.

"Magnificent and extravagant, tsk tsk tsk, more than half of the income of the royal family should be spent on the maintenance of the royal family." Entering the imperial palace for the first time, Zhao Shoushou looked at it like a bumpkin who had never seen the world. You can't help but marvel at the extravagant carvings everywhere.

The whole body is made of second-grade low-grade blue and white stones as raw materials. Each piece of blue and white stone has a large number of formation patterns carved on it. Once activated, it can form a protective formation. If outsiders want to completely defeat the formation, they need to Every piece of blue and white stone here is destroyed.

If it weren't for the obvious difference in strength, this is obviously an impossible task. This is also the fundamental reason why the royal family has been able to control the most elite areas in Huang Ming's country without overwhelming strength for so many years. With the palace still firmly standing here, the status of the royal family is as stable as Mount Tai.

"I haven't seen you in 300 years, and my old friend is still in good spirits." Not long after entering the palace, a middle-stage monk of the Royal Nascent Soul with a full head of white hair has already greeted him.

Chapter 798

"You old guy, you haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, and you still look like a hypocrite, it's really hard to like" Zhang Yisheng mocked unceremoniously.

However, neither of the two monks took it seriously. Instead, they looked at each other for a while and then laughed heartily. The relationship between the two must be very familiar.

Zhao Shoushou only knew that Peilingmen had always been on good terms with the royal family, but he never expected that the monks on both sides would also have an irresistible relationship.

Zhang Yisheng agreed to his proposal at the beginning, and this was also one of his reliances. After all, the opinions of a monk in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in Huang Mingguo's royal family also held considerable weight.

"This is Pei Yicai. We met once at the Hongyan Mountain rally a hundred years ago, and the one next to him is Zhao Xiaoyou who defeated the old son Sun Cheng of the Tianlei Sect?" The old man changed his words and focused on Zhao Shoushou's body.

"It's all just rumors. Back then, it was just relying on the power of the big formation to entangle with fellow Taoist Sun Cheng for a while." He has always had a humble attitude, especially when facing a strange monk.

"You old man, don't take us to the post house quickly, don't go here to find out the skills of Junior Brother Zhao." Zhang Yisheng's rescue came quite timely.

"It's the old man's fault, everyone follow me into the inner city of the palace, please." The old man took the lead and walked forward.

The imperial palace is divided into inner and outer cities. The outer city is generally used to handle various government affairs, while the inner city is the core area of ​​the imperial palace. Apart from members of the royal family, only a very small number of trusted monks can enter it.

Whether it was Pei Yicai or Zhang Yisheng, the two of them seemed to be accustomed to this kind of treatment, and they simply moved forward.

Half an hour later, a three-story independent wooden loft isolated by an independent formation appeared in front of my eyes, and a large number of emerald bamboos swayed in the wind nearby. Coming head-on, people have a feeling of sitting on the ground and running the big circle immediately.

"This attic is the residence of the three fellow Taoists before the feast of transforming gods. If you are extremely bored, you can also walk in the palace. Except for the harem and the cold palace, you can do whatever you want." The old man's words revealed A distinctly unusual smell.

They are located in the inner city of Huang Mingguo's royal palace, not to mention that every place is secret, and they will certainly not allow some outsiders to visit at will, including Peilingmen, who have never received such treatment before.

Even the sophisticated Zhang Yisheng was a little sluggish for a while, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it next.

"Don't lie to me, you old fellow. This is the inner city. It's the best policy to wait honestly in this attic." Being old and not dying is a thief, even if you don't know what medicine is sold in the royal gourd. What is the plan, Zhang Yisheng still refused.

"This is the ancestor's special reward for the support of Peilingmen over the years. Only Peilingmen can enjoy this honor. The last few months are the flowering period of the Royal Garden. Daoist friends really would rather give up this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity?" The royal old man obviously had a seductive tone.

Zhao Shoushou was not clear about the true meaning and connotation of the so-called imperial garden flowering period, but saw that Zhang Yisheng fell silent after hearing the news.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of three Nascent Soul stage monks from Peilingmen entered the wooden attic. The spiritual power here was extremely strong, even better than the cave in Peiling Mountain, at least equivalent to a fourth-order high-grade spiritual vein .

In fact, Zhao Shoushou is not interested in the confrontation between Zhang Yisheng and the old man of the royal family. What he really cares about is the promise that the other party can walk around in the inner city to observe.

As a monk who is dedicated to increasing his knowledge and improving his cultivation, he cherishes the opportunity to observe the royal room very much, after all, this place is a master of cultivation knowledge.

When Zhao Shoushou and others came, what they passed was a specially opened stone road, and the journey along the way was nothing more than a glimpse of the entire imperial city, and they never had a chance to stop and observe carefully.

Of course, now that he is a member of Peilingmen, any action or action represents the attitude of the entire sect, so he will not act lightly before getting Zhang Yisheng's permission.

"Junior Brother is coming to the Imperial City for the first time. If you are interested, you can go and observe it. Remember that the real opportunity is in the Imperial Garden. You must not miss it." About an hour later, Pei Yicai said slowly.

The wooden attic has three floors. Zhao Shoushou guards the first floor, Pei Yicai guards the second floor, and Zhang Yisheng guards the third floor. In this way, the safety of the entire attic can be guaranteed by any means.

"Dare to ask, brother, what opportunities are there in the imperial garden?" Zhao Shoushou's character has always been outspoken, and he will only act after he has clarified everything and has sufficient confidence, in order to maximize the benefits.

"The imperial garden is the place where the emperor, concubine, prince, and princess rest on weekdays. There are a large number of high-quality, high-value spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses growing and cultivating in it. The strong fragrance of flowers will come out every flowering period. It constantly attracts a large number of spirit insects to devour the pollen, and some of them will lay eggs in the imperial garden every year." Pei Yicai has no secrets.

The spirit flower in the imperial garden is one of the important properties of the royal family, so Zhao Shoushou and others cannot pick it, but the opportunity for the monks is to fall on the pollen and the spirit insects that come to pick the pollen.

Many spirit flower pollen are one of the important raw materials that can be used to refine spirit pills, and can increase the success rate of alchemists to a certain extent.

Every royal family will cultivate some high-level alchemists, and the foundation of these alchemists is the imperial gardens, large and small.

In addition to pollen, the spirit insects attracted by the fragrance of flowers are also a very important and indispensable opportunity for monks.

Spiritual insects rely on instinct to collect pollen, and those who are eligible to enter the imperial garden to collect pollen are at least above the third level. These spiritual insects themselves are also a treasure trove for walking.

Adult spirit insects cannot be tamed, but their value is unquestionable. Each spirit insect has some special substances in its body, which can be used to increase the strength of the physical body after refining them all.

As for the amount, quality, and effect of this substance, it is mainly determined by the spirit insect itself, and the chance of a monk is also a very important factor.

Perhaps the same kind of spirit insects, the same size, but the substances obtained by cultivators after refining are completely different. After Zhao Shoushou figured out the reason, his excitement was beyond words.

"This is the famous imperial garden? It occupies more than half of the inner city. The life of these princes and grandchildren is really enviable." The strong fragrance of flowers, the lakes with different functions, each lake All of them are directly connected to the spirit veins.

The lake is specially used to raise some special spirit beasts such as spirit fish and spirit turtles, and it looks full of vitality.

Chapter 799 The Queen in the Imperial Garden

On some high-quality spirit lakes, there are still some members of the royal family with gray hair and beards and wrinkled faces fishing as if cultivating their sentiments.

They don't care about the harvest, and they enjoy the process more often. Most monks will release the spirit fish after catching them.

Only a small amount of high-quality spirit fish will be left in the bag. Looking at their leisurely appearance, it is really like a paradise without competition.

Seeing this scene for the first time made Zhao Shoushou doubt whether he was still in a comprehension world where he was desperately fighting for various cultivation resources.

Of course, the cultivation bases of these old guys should not be underestimated, at least they are above the mid-Gold Core stage, and one-third of them are above the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if their potential has been exhausted and their own cultivation has no chance to take a step forward, enough time is enough for them to polish their cultivation to an extreme peak state, which can guarantee that they are in the same level. front row.

These monks have seldom walked in the realm of comprehension, and they are also one of the heritage of the royal family. Once faced with the attack of a strong enemy, these old guys must be the first to fight.

These calm and indifferent monks only caused him a little attention and surprise, and soon his target turned to spirit flowers of different sizes and qualities.

"Qiyang Zihonghua, Nine Star Ladybug Spirit Flower, Yuanyang Flower, Yubai Rose" at the entrance of the imperial garden, there are four independent flower beds, the quality of the spirit flowers growing in them has already left him quite dumbfounded.

The quality of these spirit flowers are all third-tier mid-to-high-grade, but they are scarce, at least in the cultivation world, they are quite rare.

Once it appears in the market, it will definitely cause a rush of looting, especially in the process of refining some unpopular panacea, the effect is particularly obvious.
