From the world of martial arts

When Wang Ben returned, everyone exchanged pleasantries again.

During the banquet, many dignitaries from Jiangling City also came.

Most of them were nobles from Nanjun. Although they were very unfamiliar with Gai Nie, after all, Gai Nie had kept a very low profile before, when he was in Da Qin, and not many people really knew him.

But after Wang Jian's introduction, the complexions of the dignitaries in Nanjun changed, and they looked at Gai Nie and Zhang Liang differently.

"Gai Jianshi!"

"I've seen Master Gai"

Everyone is very enthusiastic.

It's no wonder that everyone is arrogant and respectful.

If Gai Nie is just a swordsman, then it is not worth making friends with people like them. Even if he is His Majesty's personal guard, that is a thing of the past.

It has been more than 200 years since I left Xianyang City. Who still remembers it? Will Your Majesty still remember it?

Among the dignitaries sitting here, the lowest ones have the title of Duke. In the past, the prefect of Nanjun was a local emperor.

If you go one step further, you can enter the center of Xianyang City.

But Gai Nie is now a Golden Immortal, a Golden Immortal, for those present, it is different.

In the past, everyone might have to pray every day.

After all, golden immortals used to be gods in the sky, and those who believed in gods and Buddhas would sacrifice and pray to gods and Buddhas.

Jin Xian is an immortal immortal, and his life span is the same as that of heaven and earth.

The dignitaries present here may be very powerful. In Nanjun, they are almost like earth emperors, but so what, after a hundred years, they will become nothing more than a pile of loess.

Even though some powerful people practice Taoism, most of them are not very advanced. If they can cultivate the golden elixir, it is very good. They still rely on a lot of resources.

Those who practice Jindan Taoism can only live for two to three hundred years at most. Those who practice martial arts may live even less.

Only after cultivating to the stage of refining the gods and nurturing the primordial spirit will the lifespan really skyrocket, and one can live for thousands of years, or even longer.

But for many rich and powerful, it is not so easy.

Da Qin has never stopped the flow of skills, so even those at the bottom have the opportunity to practice.

However, whether it is martial arts, immortality, or other side sects, without a true leader to teach, it is very difficult to get started.

The rich and powerful, it is not difficult for them to obtain the method of cultivating the Tao. There were a lot of Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period.

Among the many dignitaries in Nanjun, none of them has a few books on exercises, and almost all have books on Qi training, Taoism, or martial arts.

However, apart from Wang Jian and his son, among the people present, the one with the highest cultivation level was only the young man next to the Nanjun prefect, who had barely reached the stage of refining gods.

Even the governor of Nanjun is not high in cultivation.

Not all officials are like Nalu Buwei, Li Si, etc.

Lu Buwei, a businessman, was able to become Daqin's chancellor, not just by opportunism. Back then, he was able to help the two generations of Qin Kings of Daqin to escape from Zhao State. The means he relied on were not just business. That His Majesty was almost captured by Zhao State back then. .

It was also because of Lu Buwei's powerful strength that the strength he showed back then was the peak of a true immortal.

Now even more unfathomable.

Most of the Daqin officials are actually not high in cultivation, and some even have no cultivation.

After all, civil servants are not like martial arts, they don't need strong strength, they just need to be able to handle government affairs.

Moreover, the prefect of Nanjun was not born as a general, he was considered a big family in Beidi County, and he was also a disciple of the Legalist School.

Disciples of the Fa school are different from other schools of thought. They don't need to have a strong cultivation base, and they can explode with great power.

The Legalists could borrow the power of the dynasty.

Using one's body to integrate the destiny of the country is also a magical method created by the ancestor of Legalism.

However, this supernatural power of borrowing force is not so simple. There will be no pie in the sky. With the help of external force, a very strong force can be erupted, which also has consequences.

Every time the power of the dynasty is used, the corrosion on one's physical body is also very serious, especially the mental drain.

The origin of human beings is actually composed of essence, energy and spirit. The spirit is originally essence and spirit. The consumption of both is equal to the consumption of the origin of human beings.

This consequence means that most Legalist disciples will not live long. Even if they practice Taoism, they will only delay this result.

Some Legalist disciples who practice Taoism tend to have a shorter lifespan than other schools of thought at the same time, and even less than those who practice cruel martial arts.

This can be regarded as a shortcoming of Legalist disciples.

But even with such a serious sequelae, for those legal disciples, no one is willing to give up this supernatural power.

After all, an ordinary person can even display the power of an immortal. It is conceivable how many people can resist such a temptation.

Moreover, Daqin was ruled by the Legalists. Legalist disciples had a high status in Daqin. If they wanted to enter the center of Daqin, they had to be either legalist disciples or from the army, and others were far behind.

Not everyone is like Lu Buwei. Although he was born as a businessman, he has invested in two generations of King Qin.

Whoever can do this is only one person in the world.

The prefect of Nanjun is a disciple of the Legalist school, and his cultivation level is not high, but as a prefect of a county, his status is not much worse than that of Wang Jian and his son.

However, because Wang Jian and his son are all people with advanced cultivation bases, the higher the cultivation base in this era, the more longevity, and the longer they can protect the family.

The prefect of Nanjun can protect the family for decades at most, but Wang Jian and his son, even if they take off their general costumes, can still protect the family for hundreds or thousands of years.

This is the gap between the two.

Therefore, when facing Wang Jian and his son, the prefect of Nanjun will be one step behind and inferior to others. This is also a hidden unspoken rule.

In the world of mythology, personal strength is very important.

Even if the Great Qin is unified, the army is still very important. The center of the Great Qin, the civilian officials are still a bit inferior to the military officials.

If it weren't for the birth of Lu Buwei, the prime minister, I am afraid that the military would occupy half of the Great Qin Center, or even higher.

In this era, in fact, the boundaries between civil and military are not so clear.

There are many people who are about to enter the phase.

For example, Wang Jian and his son, they can also become Jiuqing Chinese, but most generals like to stay in the army.

In Da Qin, strong men are still the most desirable, and there is no such thing as letting the horse go to Nanshan.

Especially the immortal way is evergreen, the various schools of thought are prosperous, and the ways of cultivation are prosperous, and more and more people are beginning to practice the way of transcendence.

Unfortunately, there are really not many people who can succeed in cultivation.

Most of the successful ones either went to the army or went to other places.

Only those with half a bucket of water will wander around. (end of this chapter)
