Chapter 164: Climbing to Sendai to get guests, one step at a time
"How dare you claim that your merits are immeasurable!"
"The old Taoist just has a little talent for deducing the techniques."
"The influence of spiritual energy on the mind of immortal cultivators has actually been noticed during the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty. Many senior Qi practitioners have also made efforts in this area. The prototype of the "Heart Sutra" method was established at that time."
"This "Heart Sutra" is compiled and perfected by the veteran practitioners with reference to some of the thinking of those senior Qi practitioners, standing on the shoulders of giants."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled modestly and briefly explained his process of deducing the "Heart Sutra" to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao thought to himself, this is just a little bit of talent, this is simply a billion points.
"Zhenzhen Zhang, stop being so modest!"
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Let's go to the Dragon Guard Division to see the scenery of those cultivators ascending to immortality."
Zhang Sanfeng also had this intention and nodded happily.
The two of them quietly left Xumi Illusionary World without any guards, left Nanjing City, and appeared in Base No. 1 deep in Niushou Mountain...
This place was originally used as a training ground by Zhu Biao, but after the second revival of spiritual energy, the number of immortal cultivators in the entire Ming Dynasty skyrocketed.
The Academy of Sciences alone can no longer digest so many immortal cultivators.
Zhu Biao immediately reorganized the Dragon Protection Division. Now the Dragon Protection Division has become a management organization for immortal cultivators. The warriors who served as worshipers during this period either joined the military or were assigned to the Jinyi Guards.
All the vacancies among them will be filled by cultivators with advanced cultivation.
Zhang Sanfeng is still the director of the Dragon Protection Department.
In the future Ming Dynasty, immortal cultivators can only appear in two institutions. The first is the Academy of Sciences, which engages in cutting-edge research work, and the second is the Dragon Protection Division, which exists as a tribute to the Ming Empire.
After Zhang Sanfeng's suggestion, this small world has now been transformed into the residence of the Dragon Guard Division.
And the Immortal Platform for the rewards obtained in the late Qing Dynasty stands in the center of this small world.
To be precise, the Dengxian Terrace is a towering mountain with a total of 10,800 steps.
Immortal cultivators who climb up the steps can gain insights and inheritance from the Immortal Platform, understand their own cultivation methods, and ascend to immortality step by step.
Just as one can become a Martial Saint by climbing to the ninety-ninth floor of the Wusheng Tower, the Immortal Dao inheritance of this Immortal Platform points directly to the fairyland. It is said that as long as one can climb the 10,800 steps, one can become an immortal instantly.
Zhu Biao and Zhang Sanfeng both tried to climb the Immortal Cultivation Platform. Zhu Biao stopped at the 602nd step, and Zhang Sanfeng stopped at the 601st step.
They are still the two people who have gone the furthest among all the people.
But this time, Zhu Biao seriously suspected that the old Taoist priest had committed suicide.
After Zhu Biao, Zhang Sanfeng and others studied the changes of many immortal cultivators before and after entering the Immortal Platform, they can deduce that the function of this Immortal Platform is to stimulate the strange phenomena within the Qi Sea of the immortal cultivators.
Unlike the Martial Saint Tower, which allows all warriors to form martial arts cyclones within their Dantian.
Each immortal cultivator's vision of the sea of qi is as different as a fingerprint, and can be said to be all kinds of strange, such as Zhu Biao's star vision, Chang Tongyu's flame vision, and Zhang Sanfeng's mountain vision.
Different visions indicate different abilities, or in other words, different directions of talent.
In this way, it is somewhat unrealistic to want all immortal cultivators to be militarized and managed like warriors to form an army.
Forcing this will only be counterproductive and cause resentment among a large number of immortal cultivators.
After discussion between Zhu Biao and Zhang Sanfeng, the management of most immortal cultivators in the future will adopt a sect-style free-range approach.
In this small world, there are alchemy pavilions, weapon refining workshops, talisman rooms, and even special extraordinary item auction houses and shops under the Dragon Guard Division. In these shops, you can buy elixirs and spells to improve your cultivation.
You can get everything from utensils to talismans and seals to jade slips of various spells and cultivation methods.
In principle, these things are available to all immortal cultivators.
Of course, there are two prerequisites. First, you must have the Dragon Guard waist card, and second, you must consume points.
And then comes the main event.
If you want to get points, you must complete the tasks assigned by the Dragon Guard Division in the mission hall.
This task is diverse, including alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making. There are also some tasks that help local areas make small-scale rainfall, or overcome some major projects that cannot be completed by machines, such as using earth escape to prospect for minerals, using water escape to study water patterns, and using earth escape to explore water patterns.
Use magic to open tunnels, use wood magic to promote the growth of some special plants, etc.
With the blessing of the first solution to the Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Evil, these spells have now been researched by the Academy of Magic. All the spells have been made into jade slips, with clearly marked prices waiting for the immortal cultivators to work hard on the task and then buy them!
As long as you open up the secret treasure of the Qi Sea, you can join the Dragon Guard Division and become an outer disciple, receive the Dragon Guard Division waist badge, and the only spiritual method for cultivating immortals, the Heart Sutra.
At the same time, you can enter the Immortal Platform once for free to determine your level.
But after that, if you want to enter the Immortal Cultivation Platform and obtain various immortal cultivation resources and services, you can only rely on points.
Even if you have a lot of money and countless coins, you can't exchange for a single point here.
In a word, if you don't do the task, just play by yourself.
This kind of points is mandatory for one person and one card, and transactions and transfers are prohibited, eliminating all loopholes that can be exploited.
Once the system reform of the Dragon Protection Division was launched and promoted by the imperial court, it immediately caused an uproar among all the immortal cultivators.
The Dragon Guard Division located in Base No. 1 has been extremely busy in the past month.
Suddenly there were 60% more cultivators than the number of people registered with the imperial court.
Obviously everyone understands that if you are hiding alone to cultivate immortality, how can you join the Dragon Guard Division and use the cultivation method that the imperial court has developed to practice incense!
By the time Zhu Biao and Zhang Sanfeng appeared together in front of the Dengxian Platform in the center of Base No. 1, the place was already crowded with people.
In front of the Immortal Platform, there are two thousand immortal cultivators wearing white standard robes.
These are not wild immortal cultivators, but outstanding inner disciples carefully selected by the imperial court from among the internal immortal cultivators over a period of one month.
In the future, they can get better spell inheritance, alchemy inheritance, weapon refining inheritance, and even receive a lot of points every month.
Of course, they also have more responsibilities, and are responsible for refining elixirs, refining weapons, and making talismans for the military and the court.
"Zhenzhen Zhang, will the Immortal Platform be officially open to everyone after today?" Some cultivators in the crowd shouted.
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at the person who asked the question and smiled: "That's right, today is the initiation ceremony for the first batch of inner disciples of the Dragon Protection Division. Starting tomorrow, the Dragon Protection Division will be open to everyone."
"However, everyone is only allowed to enter once. If you want to continue to enter, you will have to consume points."
"Zhenzhen Zhang, we are all outer disciples, what's going on with the inner disciples?" someone else asked.
"Haha, inner disciples will naturally get better resources and better spell inheritance. Of course, it will be more difficult to be selected as an inner disciple."
“There are currently three tentative approaches.
"Become a ninth-level weapon refiner, pharmacist or magician." Zhang Sanfeng said calmly.
"Have you never heard of this?" Someone couldn't help but wonder.
"These are the three ways of cultivation that the imperial court divided among immortal cultivators."
"The test of the weapon refining master is in the weapon refining workshop, the test of the alchemist is in the Dan Pavilion, and the test of the magician is in the headquarters of the Dragon Protection Division. As long as you pass the test, you will receive a ninth-grade medal. This is not only
It is a symbol of status and also a symbol of your qualifications to enter the inner gate."
After everyone heard Zhang Sanfeng's explanation, they noticed that the two thousand people in front of them all had a medal on their chests.
Obviously, all of these people have passed the imperial examination of the nine-grade system, and there are even a few eighth-grade medals among them.
Everyone knows how the ninth- and eighth-grade warriors were treated throughout the Ming Dynasty.
This is equivalent to the local eighth- and ninth-grade officials.
As long as such people are within the Ming Dynasty, they will be respected wherever they go.
Then if a cultivator now passes the examination and becomes the ninth grade, wouldn't it be equivalent to the former?
This suddenly made the eyes of many immortal cultivators light up.
To be honest, the status of immortal cultivators has not improved much before. Even if the court had not deliberately protected them, they might have become objects of resistance and fear among ordinary people.
Now that such a system is in place, it means that immortal cultivators with grades have also been recognized by the court and will receive special treatment from the court like warriors.
Completely accepted and respected by the people.
Although these people are called immortal cultivators, they are actually just mortals who have just opened up the Qi Sea. The influence of spiritual energy on them is almost negligible. Such treatment is still very good for them.
