Myriad Paths

Yes, Li Qi wanted to start a war.

"War...?" Shen Shuibi seemed to want to frown.

It's a pity that the body of the Holy Flame Clan and the face are very stiff, with no expression at all, and she can't wrinkle.

"Well, war, after all, it's impossible to take back the world through negotiation, right? And if you want to take action, you can't leave it all to us, right?" Li Qi smiled.

"If you want to regain your own way, if you want to rebuild your own way, you can't rely on others. They can only regain it by their own strength, and we can only help."

"The person before will definitely not be willing to give up directly, so the only option is to resort to violence."

"War is inevitable, and it is impossible for us to help them fight it. This war is a disaster for the Holy Flame Realm and an obstacle to their path."

Li Qi said in a relaxed tone.

Shen Shuibi nodded.

Indeed.

What Li Qi said is right.

The road can only be walked by oneself, even for the world and the race. If you want to get rid of the Taoist disputes among the immortals, you must strive for your own strength.

"If that's the case...how are we going to make money?" Shen Shuibi was confused.

If Li Qi had this intention, then the speed of making money would be too slow.

Just selling skills and magic weapons, not to mention where these goods should come from, how to price them, etc., this kind of thing cannot be compared to directly occupying the Holy Flame Realm by violence and then enslaving them. Money comes fast.

If you really want money, what you should do now is to find out the opponent's power, and then see if you can take action, or find a way to expel the opponent, and then seize the Holy Flame Realm.

What arms dealers are doing now, there is really no pattern, and the money is slow to come in.

"You don't understand, Jade. War, famine, and disease are always the most profitable situations. There are no exceptions." Li Qi said with a smile: "Look, what is the source of wealth?"

"Labor." Shen Shuibi replied.

She also knows this. The source of all value comes from labor. Even raw materials must be dug out and processed by someone to be valuable.

"Our plundering is just plundering the wealth accumulated by their previous labor. It is a matter of digging up roots. It is a great loss for us who are now empty-handed, but we do not have the ability to run a world by ourselves." Li Qi spread his hands.

"The best way, of course, is to do what the immortals in the Holy Flame Realm do, to directly erode the world with their own way and make it completely become their vassal, but this is not something we can do now. , We don’t have that many preachers, and we don’t have a whole set of avenues that can be used to carry out the occupation,” Li Qi said.

While talking, the two found a stall on the roadside, ordered some food, and continued chatting.

But the content of their chat was completely inaudible to others.

Li Qi gestured what he meant.

First of all, they are not qualified to preach on a large scale.

If you want to preach on a large scale, you need many followers who can understand and follow your own path, or disciples. They understand your way and are willing to follow it as your example.

This is where Taoism comes from.

If many small sects come together to form groups because of interests, then these or large orthodoxies all come together because of similar ideas.

Comrades are closer than father and son.

Father and son may turn against each other, but as long as they remain the same, there will never be any gap.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi, two lonely people, definitely don't have that many disciples and younger brothers to support such a large-scale event that will last for one or two hundred years.

Even in reality, one hundred years is not a long time.

Li Qi explained: "So, if we want the Holy Flame Realm to still maintain the labor capacity to produce the Holy Flame, we must preserve the original production mechanism and avenue operation of the Holy Flame Realm. This is the fundamental reason why we want to support their resistance. If Direct plunder can only plunder past wealth, but cannot earn future wealth. "

"But there is another problem. If the Holy Flame Realm maintains the original rules of the avenue, then they will not be able to be used by us. They will use their resources and wealth for their own development. In this way, they will not be able to reach our level. the goal of."

Shen Shuibi listened quietly beside him without commenting.

Although she is very smart, she is not familiar with this aspect of things, because she has been squatting in Luofu Mountain for the past nine thousand years, and her Tao was inherited from Luofu Mountain.

Luofu Mountain is one of the branches of Taoism, the branch that is hidden in the world.

Taoism is also divided into two large branches and many smaller branches. The two large branches are Huang-Lao's school and Lao-Zhuang's school, that is, the manifest school and the hidden school.

At present, Huang-Lao Zhixue, a branch of the manifest world, advocates the three points of "cultivation, management of the world, and application". It has a strong purpose and will take the initiative to transform the world, that is, "management of the world and application." Currently, for unknown purposes, they are fully supporting the expansion of humanity. They are the guests of the Human Emperor and noble ministers. The Human Emperor even built a Taoist temple for them in Chang'an and granted them the official position of National Preceptor.

Luofu Mountain is a hermit sect. This sect advocates tranquility and inaction, opposes struggle, follows the natural way, and is free and easy. Currently, this branch is distributed in various places. One branch is studying the 'mathematical universe' with Beiji Lingdao, and there are more Duo lives in seclusion in the mountains, quietly doing things that interest him, with little need to change the world, and lives a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

For the Taoist hermit sect, what Li Qi said was beyond her scope, and she didn't understand these things, so she could only listen to Li Qi's analysis silently.

Don't talk nonsense about things you don't understand, she still knows this very well.

But she is still a smart person after all, so she can still understand what Li Qi means.

Li Qi continued to explain: "So we need to create a foreign enemy, and it is ready-made."

"Look, this immortal, his avenue erosion has not yet fully taken effect. There are still a group of people who are still resisting. If we support the Holy Flame Clan in resisting, we can force the Holy Flame Clan to continue to create Holy Flames for us."

"We don't have much demand for other materials in this world. The Holy Flame is the only thing of value to us, and the Holy Flame is a product actively created by the Holy Flame tribe."

"Once the war starts, not only will they give us the holy flames they previously stored to purchase military supplies, but they will also continue to actively produce holy flames to pray for our help. We just need to find a place to sit and wait, waiting for them to Just bring the holy flame to your hand."

"As for what we have to do, we actually only need to invest some skills and magic weapons, and prevent the opponent's fifth-grade masters from intervening. To maintain the balance of this war, we don't need to invest too much. The Holy Flame Clan will complete those trivial matters by themselves. ”

This is Li Qi's thinking.

In fact, it is very simple. Without pressure from an external enemy, the Holy Flame Clan will not contribute the Holy Flame honestly.

There are only two of them, and it is impossible for them to swallow up all the resources and abilities of the Holy Flame Clan in one go. They have to take their time.

If you want to accumulate initial capital, you still need to exchange technology for capital.

Get the first batch of Holy Flames first.

Then use the Holy Flame to go around the world to exchange for these needed magic weapons or low-level skills.

If you go back and forth in the middle, you can earn at least a hundred times more.

As the holy flame is a world specialty, Li used the Shinto method to value it. He felt that if the scale of this thing increased, the price in the world would not be cheap, at least not cheap for Shen Shuibi, a fifth-grade product.

If he really completely occupies this sixth-grade world, it will be a considerable fortune.

This is considered the first pot of gold.

Although there is still a long way to go to repay the debt of Luofu Mountain, if you want to earn one trillion, the first small goal should be to earn 100 million.

Take it step by step.

After understanding Li Qi's subsequent steps, Shen Shuibi nodded, and then asked: "So... what are we going to do next? You have less than twenty days to go to Taixue, right?"

"And the Holy King rejected your proposal. I don't think he regrets it. Can he be supported in this way?" Shen Shuibi asked.

Didn't she see it? Or is it that the Holy King really wants to repent?

"No, from the way he looks, you can tell that even the bones are broken. Even though the Holy Flame Clan doesn't have bones, that's all." Li Qi shrugged.

That Holy King probably really couldn't afford to resist.

He is in that state now, where he is unwilling to give in but not willing to resist, but dare not resist. He is seriously unable to stand up.

If you want to cure his heart disease, you still need to take your time.

"Then are you ready?" Shen Shuibi was confused.

"There is more than one person who resists. There is always someone who is angry. Let's eat something and then... go kill people tonight." Li Qi said in a brisk tone.

That is to say, the body of the Holy Flame Clan has no expression at all, otherwise, you would definitely be able to see that he is smiling.

Li Qi is not a holy mother.

He has principles, but he never shows mercy when it comes to killing people. This is what he must do in order to repay Rabbit's debt.

If there is karma, then it will also follow that the cycle of heaven is like this.

Rabbit sat on the other side, chin slightly.

"Killing people...how to do it?" She nodded and accepted without much resistance.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it either.

Rabbits are inherently good and evil people.

She will not take the initiative to do bad things or do good things. Most of the time, like all the hermits, she is honestly immersed in her own world and only does her own things.

But if she wants to do good or bad things, she won't be too resistant to either side.

This is the way of the Hermit Sect.

Neither good nor evil, just like nature.

Don't care about the outside world, just pursue your own perfection and progress. When everyone makes progress, the whole world will naturally become better, and there is no need to deliberately do anything else.

This is the ‘doing without doing’ pursued by the Hidden World Sect.

As for interference with the outside world?

A true immortal of the Hidden World Sect once said: "There is no immediate reputation for good deeds, and there is no immediate punishment for evil deeds."

This means that if you do good things, you will not get fame immediately, and if you do bad things, you will not be punished immediately.

Good and evil are just your own choices. The world doesn't care what you do, just be yourself.

"It's very simple. We have to obliterate the myth of the invincibility of immortals." Li Qi said.

"The reason why there is no resistance in the current Holy Flame World is very simple, because those immortals can indeed suppress this world, and there are only two generations of people with ambition. In another hundred years, the 'refining' of this world will be it's over."

Refining means replacing the opponent's way with your own way.

From this perspective, although the way of heaven in this world has not changed hands, the civilization in it has been 'refined'.

Li Qi continued to arrange: "We didn't find the fifth grade when we came. In other words, the remaining suppressors are basically the ones we can deal with relatively easily."

"I just asked someone to do a divination and found one of them who is relatively weak. He is the target tonight."

"Just asked someone to do a divination? Where did you hire someone?" Shen Shuibi was a little curious.

"This." Li Qi took out the terminal and clicked on the chat history: "I asked Boyue and Zhong Minlou to help me. Although there is a delay, the terminal can still be used in this place."

"Wait, that is to say, it is humanity that wants to invade this world? They have extended the cardinals of all realms here!? Otherwise, how could there be a signal?" Rabbit was shocked.

"That's not right. I saw the Great Dao mark. Although it has some humanity, its foundation is still Shinto. How can the terminal have a signal?" Rabbit thought, and then quickly took out his terminal.

Then, she was surprised to find that there was actually a signal.

This shows that in this world, there are separate base stations for cardinals from all realms!

Seeing Shen Shuibi's surprise, Li Qi smiled: "Don't worry, the other party is not a force from the Tang Kingdom. It's just that he needs the split of the cardinals from all realms to communicate, so he should have spent money to rent a cardinal from all realms. Use the base station.”

"What do you know?" Shen Shuibi looked up after hearing Li Qi's words.

What does Li Qi know about this pretender?

That's not right, Shen Shuibi knows that he is always by her side, so she doesn't have time to collect information, right?

"It's not that I know anything, the main thing is that I'm really familiar with it. It's hard not to recognize this aura." Li Qi shook his head and said jokingly.

"Wu——?" Rabbit was confused. She tilted her head and made a confused grunt.

What is Li Qi still trying to do?

However, this time Li Qi did not explain to Rabbit.

This made the rabbit very angry.

But she didn't hesitate for too long. She quickly regained her composure and followed Li Qi curiously, waiting for him to solve the mystery.

After all, no matter how hard you try, you can't hide it tonight.

After the two of them finished eating, they were ready to leave.

Rice is a common diet all over the world, but the ingredients are local.

Even the diet has been eroded to this extent.

It’s like never eating braised pork again and eating steak in the future.

Fortunately, their diet is also meat. Although I don't know what kind of meat it is, it may be a problem for ordinary people, but the physical bodies of Li Qi and Shen Shuibi are far beyond ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

For them, eating is purely a matter of appetite, not a necessity.
