"Yes, yes, there are outstanding people in the East China Sea, and Zhiling Island is also a rare place for immortals to live. Except for the small regret that there is no cave world, other aspects are fully sufficient to support the structure of a sect."

After visiting the mountain gate here, Li Zhen showed a look of satisfaction and said to everyone.

Guo Wuyan said with a smile: "This is the foundation chosen by our ancestors together with Elder Dongfang for your sect. It would be great if the true king is satisfied with it."

Li Zhen said: "Fellow Daoist Guo and Elder Dongfang are interested."

Soon after, everyone arrived at the main hall on the top of the mountain.

This is where the Yanxia Sect holds various grand celebrations. There is a wide square in front of the main hall, where disciples line up to attend, take turns performing their talents and receiving rewards.

These are the disciples and grandsons of Jixiang who are not direct descendants. Compared with the direct descendants of Beihai, they have fewer opportunities to meet Li Zhen, so they put all their effort into showing off.

With a smile on his face, Li Zhen enjoyed the singing, dancing, fighting and other performances with the guests, and he was generous with rewards.

Almost anyone who embarks on the path of cultivation will be personally designated as a disciple of the inner courtyard and given a top-grade magic weapon.

Even those incense workshop managers, incense makers, and appraisers who were trained according to the methods of the outer courtyard each have their own famous incense and some spiritual materials.

It was during this celebration that Zhang San and others came forward to see the ceremony, and were officially awarded the titles of elders in charge and envoys of various academies.

Zhang San had already known before that he would be awarded the position of head of Tiangongyuan. He even knew that it was conferred by Li Zhen himself on this occasion, and he still felt a little grateful.

These practices greatly increased their sense of belonging to the newly established sect. As time went by and they truly became the leaders of the Yanxia Sect, they would have a greater sense of ownership.

After all, these rewards and opportunities are not empty, and running this sect well will become their lifelong career.

Even future generations will benefit immensely.

Li Zhen sat at the top, smelling the fragrance emanating from these people, clearly seeing their emotional changes, and knew that his thoughts were not in vain.

The purpose of Donghai Yanxia Sect is for the people of Donghai to rule Donghai and gradually integrate it into the system of Jixiang Sect in the future.

This is to replace the legal system with the Taoist system, and slowly assimilate it over time.

The rule of the sect has costs. Various systems and regulations are difficult to be effectively implemented outside Beihai. The disciples must be authorized to a certain extent and allowed to be the masters of their own affairs.

But he was very strict in terms of orthodoxy, and all forces followed the same path, all based on incense and respecting the same ancestor.

The status of Xiangzu is naturally unbreakable.

In the end, there is one more important thing.

Under the witness of all the guests, Li Zhen took out several thick jade slips and gold books from his small cave.

"This is the "Fragrance Dao Canon" written by me personally. It contains the formula of Kaiqiao Powder, Xinling Xiangxiang Recipe, Yongluo Xiangxiang Recipe, as well as "Zhongmiao Fragrance Secrets", "Smell the Fragrance Breathing Secret", "Fragrance God"

"Contemplation Dharma" is the fundamental method of the three major incense paths. I hope you will spread my lineage and carry it forward."

Everyone said excitedly: "I will definitely live up to our ancestors' high expectations!"

The classics written by Li Zhen himself are naturally not comparable to those that have been circulated before.

These are the true scriptures of Xiang Dao, which means that what they have obtained is the true scripture.

"Jixiang Zhenjun is so kind to Yanxiamen."

"In this way, even if the Yanxia Sect does not have a complete inheritance genealogy like the Shenxiang Sect or the Xiangdao lineages, no one dares to say that they are not from the Xiangdao Sect."

"Of course, the True Monarch regards the Yanxia Sect as his own and incorporates it into the Jixiang Sect's system. This is because those outside in the wild world who accidentally acquired the Xiangdao inheritance, used the tiger's skin as a banner, and worshiped him as their ancestor from afar, but in fact they themselves

It is incomparable to the well-established illegitimate forces."

All parties in the East China Sea have public opinions and private discussions.

That's right, with the development of Xiang Dao, some illegitimate forces have begun to emerge.

There are many loose cultivators in Caomang who want to recognize their ancestors and forcefully marry them.

However, the nature of the Yanxia Sect is obviously different. This is recognized by Li Zhen, and the direct lineages such as Shenxiang Sect, Chuanxiang Dao, etc. must also recognize it.

After the celebration was over, Li Zhen summoned the senior officials of Yanxiamen to discuss some matters behind closed doors.

At this time, the Yanxia Sect was similar to the Jixiang Sect at the time of its founding. The senior managers were all recruited from Caomang Jianghu and were brought under their command through a method similar to franchising.

They themselves are all foundation-building monks and alchemy masters who practice other ways. For example, Huayan, who temporarily takes the position of the auxiliary elder, is a well-known alchemy master in the East China Sea. He is good at Talisman Dao.

The craftsmanship of talismans.

Li Zhen promised him some talismans he had collected, and promised some financial and policy benefits to support him and his disciples in establishing a sect in the future. The price was to serve the Yanxia Sect for a hundred years.

This kind of manager who is borrowed to cross the bridge will not have the inheritance rights of the sect, and will be subject to great constraints.

If it weren't for the war and displacement in the East China Sea, which caused many alchemy monks to lose their foundation and become casual cultivators, not many people would be willing to do such a thankless job.

However, Li Zhen gave too much...

Anyway, they only worked for the Yanxia Sect for a hundred or two hundred years. When the Xiangdao disciples came to power, they would be worshipers in name only and could enjoy generous retirement benefits while also saving some good fortune for their descendants.

Here, Li Zhen first learned about the customs and customs of the East China Sea, and then asked everyone: "Some time ago, there were many demons in the Changkong Sea, causing harm to the world. Do you have any good strategies to stabilize the situation here?"

Hua Yan and Dong Haisheng looked at each other and said, "We intend to treat the situation with mercy and protect the common people to recuperate and recuperate."

"The East China Sea is a vast land with abundant resources. It only takes ten or twenty years for a new generation of people to be reborn. By then, some of their vitality will surely be restored."

"And if everything goes well, it will be stable for tens to hundreds of years, and the people will be able to flourish, and hundreds of billions more people will be born."

Li Zhen said: "That's good."

"However... there is a difficulty now, which may hinder the recuperation and recuperation of these ordinary people." Hua Yan suddenly said at this time.

Li Zhendao: "What are you referring to?"

Hua Yan said: "So that the True Lord will know that there have been many casualties among the mortals in the East China Sea, and countless lonely ghosts are wandering, or wandering in the gap between the pure land of the underworld and the human world. Over time, it will definitely cause a catastrophe."

"Yes, if we don't deal with those lonely ghosts, ghost generals, ghost kings and the like will be born sooner or later, causing catastrophe.

In addition, the Ming Sect's usual method is to cultivate forces close to itself in the wild world. Nowadays, there are countless people who have obtained the quick method of the devil, secretly practice it, and hide ghosts to wait for the opportunity.

These require a huge amount of manpower and material resources to deal with.”

Li Zhen said: "I do have a plan here, maybe I can use the method of incense to get rid of evil and filth."

When Hua Yan and Dong Haisheng heard this, they couldn't help but feel surprised: "Oh? May I ask what the plan is?"

Li Zhe said: "The new incense is the soul-soothing incense, which can be used to treat lonely souls and wild ghosts, protect their intelligence and stabilize their souls."

Gu Ji

He immediately explained.

It turned out that Li Zhen had already seen the methods of the Ming Sect when he was in the Xuanxin Kingdom. He knew their various tricks of burying nails and laying hidden lines, so he would naturally be prepared.

In the Yanbo Kingdom of the West Sea, it was possible to achieve the great success of its own Xiang Dao, and it gained valuable confrontation experience.

However, due to different geographical and climatic conditions, the production of Lingyun's grains was also very different. At that time, he mostly used incense based on Omba incense to ward off evil spirits, suppress ghosts, and cooperate with the town's killings.

.

After years of edification, the ordinary people of Yanbo Kingdom have also developed the corresponding custom of burning incense and praying for blessings. During festivals, every household burns incense and lights candles, which is very conscious.

He does not intend to take the same approach here in the Yanxia Kingdom and other areas in the East China Sea.

Because this is not the place where Omba incense is produced, it is really not worth spending too much manpower and material resources.

He planned to adapt measures to local conditions and adopt a new incense called Requiem to solve the problem.

This new incense was invented and improved by the disciples of the Jixiang Sect who accumulated a lot of experience in fighting ghouls in the past few decades. It has been gradually perfected through the hands of many people.

Li Zhen said: "I discovered that the Ming Sect's method is nothing more than to cause large-scale killings, causing a large number of people to die, and their souls to dissipate and return to heaven and earth.

As a result, many spiritual aggregates containing greed, anger, delusion and resentment will be deposited, wandering and accumulating at the junction of the human world and the underworld, until they overflow into disasters.

By the end of the Jiazi period, or even longer, the devil will counterattack and can easily summon a large number of corpses for their use."

After hearing Li Zhen's words, the two of them couldn't help but nodded secretly.

From what they learned, this was indeed the case.

"The backup plan left by Ming Zong is a conspiracy on the table.

There are so many rotting corpses and the filthy stench pervades the world, even polluting the blessed land of Lingfeng.

Then no matter how prosperous the place was in the past, it will become a ghost land, and all the lonely ghosts will turn into evil ghosts for their use."

“Of course we can manage them one by one, but to manage them, it means extra expenses and we have to devote manpower and material resources.

At that time, the evil cultivators hidden in the community will come out to cause trouble."

In order to make progress in cultivation and live a long and happy life, many people do not hesitate to pay any price.

Those evil cultivators who are new to the path of cultivation will be willing to be used by the Ming Sect and fight against the righteous cultivators at various levels.

Based on what they learned about the situation, the monks of the Ming Sect don't even need to go out in person. They only need to spread their skills from time to time, spread their ideas, and give some necessary guidance from a distance. The evil cultivators in the grassy shops will bring their own dry food.

Going against the right path is hard to guard against.

And because it is always easier to destroy than to protect, those stragglers can really achieve great results.

After all, if you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?

Li Zhen smiled slightly: "The strategy I'm talking about is to destroy the opponent's deployment foundation.

I plan to carry out a kind of incense ceremony to requiem the soul here, and to conduct a water and land ashram to feast on new ghosts.
To be continued...
