Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 290 Zhongzhou, news about Thunder Road inheritance, development of Lingdan Chamber of Commerce

Although Ji Hongxi is not the legitimate son of some old monster who transformed into a god, his real situation is not much different.

Ever since he was young, as long as he wanted something, there was nothing he couldn't get.

As long as he is determined to get a great supernatural power, the elders in the family can still find a way to solve it.

But practicing the secret technique of the great supernatural power is far from being as simple as imagined.

You need to have a certain prerequisite foundation before you can practice the real ancient secrets!

Just like the "Five Colors of Divine Light" in the Five Elements Concept, the conditions for practicing this magical power and secret method are very simple.

That is to have certain attainments in the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

It seems very simple. After all, many people are born with single, double, or multiple spiritual roots.

But in fact it is extremely difficult!

Before a monk's cultivation reaches the golden elixir stage, this kind of Tao about the operation of the world is far from being as simple as imagined.

The most direct point is that, looking at the entire Five Elements Concept, the number of monks who can learn the magical power of "Five Colors of Divine Light" before they are a hundred years old can be counted on the palm of a hand.

Many geniuses in the Five Elements Concept would actually not choose to practice this magical power before their cultivation reached the golden elixir stage.

The main reason is that the prerequisites for practicing "Five Colors of Divine Light" are too high, and many people cannot meet them.

In addition, if you really want to practice this level of secret technique.

Within the Five Elements Temple, there are still many in the hands of the Yuanying elders from each peak.

Although it is not as complete as "Five Colors of Divine Light", it is still more than enough to be used against enemies.

You must know that Xiandieling's "Dream Butterfly Art" is not an exception in the Five Elements Temple!

Many elders have more or less inherited ancient secret arts of this level.

Taiyi Sect's "Great Dream Qianqiu" technique requires oneself to develop a pair of yin and yang eyes.

From the moment an idea is born, cultivation begins.

And in the following years, it never stopped.

Only with this pair of Dharma eyes that can distinguish yin and yang, discern pure spirits and turbid qi, and distinguish ghosts and ghosts, it is possible to practice successfully.

If you cannot cultivate this pair of black and white Dharma eyes, you will not be able to inherit the great magical power of "The Great Dream"!

One can imagine how difficult it is to study scriptures at the level of ancient secret arts.

Those who are not talented cannot be touched!

This is the real reason why Ji Hongxi was willing to take the initiative to tell Luo Yan the secret of the lower world and the true spirit world after noticing the true meaning of the thunder method in Luo Yan.

Only by personal contact can one know how difficult it is to practice this kind of secret technique.

Far beyond ordinary people’s imagination!

Ordinary monks may be limited by their status and cannot guess Luo Yan's true understanding.

But Ji Hongxi was different. His life experience destined him to have extraordinary vision.

Ji Hongxi knew very well what the true meaning of the thunder method meant.

That is the foundation for practicing all thunder methods in the world!

Once you have this true meaning of Thunder Technique, practicing other Thunder Techniques will be as easy as sailing with the current.

Even many monks with natural thunder spirit roots may not be able to cultivate the true meaning of this thunder method.

It happened that the true meaning of this method appeared in the body of a Five Elements Observer who practiced the secret method of Five Elements.

Being able to do this is enough to prove the understanding talent of this Five Elements Observer in front of him!

The desire to make friends quietly sprouted in Ji Hongxi's heart.

It is precisely because of his superior life background that Ji Hongxi feels extremely lonely and arrogant.

Looking at the entire Southern Territory, he can count all his peers with a slap in the face.

So even though Ji Hongxi has lived for more than 20 years, there is no one he can recognize and regard as a friend!

After all, his status and background are too high.

Ordinary people of the same age are not even qualified to get close to Ji Hongxi.

Moreover, Ji Hongxi's parents were very protective of him.

Wherever he goes, there are guardians following him.

The combination of various reasons caused Ji Hongxi's character to lose some of its human fireworks.

Gives people a sense of unreality.

When Luo Yan first came into contact with Ji Hongxi, he saw the aloofness hidden deep in his heart from his humble and gentle etiquette!

This kind of arrogance makes Ji Hongxi always keep to herself.

There is no one of the same age around me!

The word friend may be ordinary to others.

But for Ji Hongxi, this is an out-of-reach synonym!

"Brother Ji, you're welcome. I'm very grateful once I can read your sect's Lei Fa scriptures."

"As for other things, I really don't dare."

"Wait a minute, I seem to have some information about the thunder power that Brother Luo is pursuing."

Ji Hongxi's black and white eyes suddenly lit up, as if she thought of something, and then she interrupted Luo Yan's polite words very abruptly.

"When I was young, my grandfather took me on a trip to Zhongzhou."

"While passing through a certain area in Zhongzhou, he seemed to have vaguely mentioned to me that there was a Holy Land of Thunder Dao under the clouds, but it later declined."

"Brother Luo, if you have free time, you can go there and take a look. Maybe you can really find the inheritance of thunder magic."

Thinking of this, Ji Hongxi took out a blank jade slip and described the landforms recorded in his mind in detail.

Luo Yan took the jade slip and didn't say anything sensational. He just nodded towards Ji Hongxi:

"The real inheritance of Thunder Road?"

Luo Yan thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind.

He originally planned to continue traveling in the Western Regions to gain more knowledge.

Now that we have such an unexpected surprise, we should change the place we travel to.

"In that case, let me go to Zhongzhou for a trip."

“Hopefully something can be gained”

At this moment, a layer of silvery electric light appeared on Luo Yan's body, flowing slowly like water waves.

It's just that there is a subtle 'crackling' sound from time to time, giving people a frightening feeling.

Countless lightning runes linger around his body, like a small silver sun blooming in the Daozang Tower.

Extremely dazzling.

In the next few days, Luo Yan once again carefully studied the remaining pieces, the small number of Lei Fa Jade Slips.

Now that we are all here, we must see all the thunder methods in Daozang Tower at once.

Fortunately, the number of scriptures like Leifa is relatively small in the world.

That's why Luo Yan was able to read all the thunder methods in Daozang Tower in such a short period of time.

His body also changed from the blazing electric light to no longer explosive.

All the runes are restrained and dormant inside the body.

"Buzz!"

Luo Yan suddenly opened his eyes and put down the last jade slip.

Then he concentrated and breathlessly sensed it, and found that half a year had passed in the outside world.

If you practice without knowing the moon, time waits for no one.

I never thought that I would stay in Daozang Tower for just half a year.

"Brother Ji, I may have to say goodbye to you."

Ji Hongxi, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, took out a tea set from somewhere and was still drinking elegantly.

After hearing this, the tea cup in his hand paused for a moment, and then he put it down gently.

"Brother Luo, have you read through these thunder scriptures in such a short period of time?"

"Would you like to read some other scriptures?"

"Whether it is the secret technique of condensation or the secret technique of increasing strength in a short period of time, there are many in Daozang Tower."

"There are even jade slips of some basic Five Elements techniques."

Ji Hongxi waved his hand again, and all the tea sets on the ground disappeared.

His meaning is very simple, that is, with him here, you can watch whatever you want without too many restrictions.

"Thank you, Brother Ji, for your kindness!"

Luo Yan bowed, responded sincerely, and had no choice to continue reading.

Although he knew very well that even if he looked up some other secrets, no one would say anything.

But the time spent here has been long enough.

You must know that this is Ji Hongxi's true body, who stayed with Luo Yan in the Daozang Tower for half a year, not a spiritual puppet body like himself!

Being able to give up my own affairs and run to Daozang Tower to stay there for so long.

The face given by Ji Hongxi is enough!

In addition, the scriptures on thunder law have been obtained, and it is time to leave.

"These are enough!"

"Brother Ji, please rest assured. When the Yin Yang Palace opens, I will definitely rush back as soon as possible to help Brother Ji obtain the fax method!"

After Luo Yan said goodbye to Ji Hongxi, his consciousness quickly left this spiritual puppet body.

Immediately afterwards, the spirit puppet collapsed softly.

When Ji Hongxi saw this, he stepped forward and put it into his storage bag.

"This spiritual body technique of Five Elements Contemplation is indeed convenient!"

"Whatever you want to do, just use your spiritual body to solve it."

A deep sigh sounded in the empty Daozang Tower.

Ji Hongxi's black and white eyes flashed with a hint of thought.

At this time, he was secretly comparing the puppet technique of his sect with the spiritual body technique of Five Elements Concept.

Which one is better and which one is worse?

"Hong Xi, your friend is not simple."

"What a terrifying talent for understanding."

At the same time, an old man with kind eyebrows and cold eyes appeared beside Ji Hongxi.

It was the old Taoist priest who was full of immortality on the high platform and threatened to test Luo Yan's "destiny method".

At this moment, he was standing quietly beside Ji Hongxi, not at all as unreasonable as before.

"Of course, Hong Xi has very high standards."

"The person who can be my friend is naturally not that simple."

Ji Hongxi's response was somewhat brisk, and there was a hint of pride on his face.

He seems to be proud of his friend.

Obviously, he was very familiar with this old Taoist priest wearing a black robe of yin and yang colors.

It was not the posture Luo Yan had seen before.

"I think this good friend of mine will gain quite a lot this time, so I can't slack off."

"Uncle Chishi, I might have to trouble you to be my protector for a period of time."

"There are probably a few old immortals hiding in that secret place."

"With Mr. Liu's strength alone, I'm afraid it's not enough."

The proud look on Ji Hongxi's face disappeared, she turned around and spoke very calmly to the old Taoist priest beside her.

"Xiao Hongxi is still so polite. It seems it's time for me to give this old bone a try."

The old Taoist priest's eyes were full of doting, with a kind smile on his face.

The elegant feeling of the immortal style disappeared, giving people a feeling of the uncle next door.

"Uncle Chi, let's go." After Ji Hongxi said this, he left Daozang Building.

The old Taoist followed closely behind.

After the two of them disappeared, the huge Daozang Tower quickly shrank in size in a very short period of time.

Finally, it was reduced to the size of a palm and fell into the hands of a stone statue in front of the side hall.

The stone man statue is staring ahead with a solemn face.

When Luo Yan walked out of the backyard of Lingdan Pavilion in Yong'an City again, he found an additional figure in the hall in front of him.

There were two shadow guards standing in front of the door.

"I've met the master!"

Gu Hongfu, who had a wrinkled face, hurriedly came over from the counter. The other two shadow guards near the door also bowed to show respect.

Luo Yan raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite.

His eyes swept over the bodies of the two shadow guards, and there were actually wisps of sword aura permeating the air.

There is also a certain inseparable connection between these two shadow guards.

Apparently, they had already practiced the "Qianli Sword Sutra" that they had arranged before.

"Is everything okay in the magic pill fantasy world?"

Luo Yan asked casually.

"Reporting to the master, there is no abnormality in the fantasy auction, and everything is operating as usual."

The old shopkeeper Gu Hongfu said respectfully, and he created a photo stone, which contains all the things that happened in Lingdan Pavilion during this period.

Luo Yan casually took the photo stone, but did not check it immediately. He just held it in his hand and weighed it twice.

It was Luo Yan's request to use a photo stone to record scenes in the store.

As long as you do things in Lingdan Pavilion, you need to use the photo stone to take pictures as a backup.

In fact, not only in the Lingdan Pavilion, but also in the entire Shadow Guard when they go out to perform tasks, there must be a shadow stone to leave the scene of the mission.

This is mainly to prevent something unexpected from happening in the future and to prepare for it.

At that time, we can also use these photo stones to trace the root cause of what happened.

Luo Yan thinks this is important.

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest!

Many times, small things can have huge consequences.

"How is the progress with the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"

"Forget it, I'd better ask him himself."

Luo Yan originally wanted Gu Hongfu to report together, but then he thought about it briefly.

Gu Hongfu is not in the outside world, and he may not fully understand many things.

Thinking about this, Luo Yan simply waved his hand, and a jade medal flew out of the storage bag, and then bloomed with a shining light.

Not long after, an old figure appeared in the light from the jade plaque.

"Chen Chengwang has met the master."

This is another old shopkeeper who is traveling abroad to develop the Lingdan Chamber of Commerce. The sense of vicissitudes on his face is much heavier than that of Gu Hongfu.

Obviously, the constant busyness during this period of time was very exhausting.

"Tell me about what happened recently."

Luo Yan took the futon from Mingyue and sat down cross-legged.

The two little guys were very well-behaved, standing behind him without looking away.

And the illusory figure immediately responded respectfully.

"Master, the current expansion progress of the Chamber of Commerce is still a little slow."

"There are two main reasons. One is that it takes a lot of time on the road."

"The second is that the local monks are wary of new types of chambers of commerce like ours."

Shopkeeper Chen began to briefly talk about the problems and development situations encountered by the Lingdan Chamber of Commerce during this period.

There are very few people in the Chamber of Commerce, and for the time being they can only rely on the shadow guards to visit the city.

Moreover, the time for holding low-level auctions in each market must be staggered for a while.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the bidding resources will not be able to keep up.

"Currently, the Lingdan Chamber of Commerce has visited more than thirty cities, and each city has held low-level auctions."

"But only seven of them have suitable casual cultivators who can be absorbed into the organization."

"Among the remaining cities, the main reason is that the forces within the cities are too complex, and it is difficult to see results in a short period of time."

"So we can only use water mill to grind it."

Chen Cheng looked at the old shopkeeper's tone with a hint of anxiety.

I have been busy day and night for the past few days and have come into contact with many markets, but the number of monks who are qualified to be absorbed into the Rogue Cultivator Alliance is still very small.

Or even just a few dozen people

This is enough to be called a bad start.

The development of the organization did not appear to be smooth from the beginning.

This made Chen Chengwang feel extremely uneasy, wondering if he would be punished.

"Are there any image stones left behind?"

Luo Yan didn't care about the old shopkeeper's psychology and his tone did not fluctuate at all.

"Yes, yes!"

Shopkeeper Chen responded immediately.

"Every time Shadow Guard and I go to a city, we record everything that happens there."

Luo Yan nodded, his eyes deep and calm.

"The number of members joining the organization is indeed a bit low."

"But I don't know the details, so I won't make a specific judgment yet."

"But one thing you should pay attention to is that the organization will not actively participate in any battles. In the early stage, it will only have transactions with casual cultivators or small family cultivators."

"With the Chamber of Commerce as the main focus and the casual cultivator alliance as the supplement, we will temporarily increase the visibility of the Chamber of Commerce."

"We must achieve a certain level. When the words Lingdan Chamber of Commerce flash across other people's minds, they will think of words such as fairness, trust, and privacy."

Luo Yan knew that one of the reasons why the members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance developed relatively slowly.

Just because there is a threshold limit!

It is actually very simple for monks from the outside world to join the casual cultivator alliance.

That is, you must spend a thousand spiritual stones in the Chamber of Commerce before you can be accepted.

Members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance can submit a scheduled transaction and tell them in advance the elixirs, exercises, magic weapons or other treasures they need.

The Lingdan Chamber of Commerce will help collect orders from these transactions through Yong'an City or other channels.

This forms a closed loop.

And improve the stickiness of its members in the casual cultivator alliance.

So when Luo Yan heard what the old shopkeeper said, there were currently only a few dozen members of the casual cultivator alliance.

He didn't feel any irritation.

I don’t think this rate of adding members is very slow either.

A monk's time is very long, and there are many things that cannot be rushed to the surface.

Patience, Luo Yan will never lack!

As long as the current progress is maintained, more and more people will join the casual cultivator alliance in the future.

In fact, in Luo Yan's eyes, this casual cultivator alliance is actually the membership system of the Lingdan Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why it was called the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was because he knew it very well from the day it was established.

The target customers of Lingdan Chamber of Commerce should be casual cultivators!

Calling members of the Chamber of Commerce members of the casual cultivator alliance can actually bring them closer to each other.

Therefore, Luo Yan did not criticize the progress of the tasks carried out by Mr. Chen.

I just gave a few extra words of caution and said no more.

After all, the Lingdan Chamber of Commerce uses the model of conducting low-level auctions to attract the attention of casual cultivators or small family cultivators.

The advantage of this model is that it can attract a large number of monks who are interested in conventional elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans in a very short period of time.

But the shortcomings are also obvious.

Most of the casual cultivators are those who don't let go of hawks when they see rabbits.

If they encounter elixirs and magic weapons that they are interested in at a low-level auction, this group of people will raise their bids without hesitation.

But it is still difficult for casual cultivators like them to consume a thousand spiritual stones in such a short period of time.

After all, in the Lingdan Chamber of Commerce, most of the items sold are relatively conventional elixirs and magic weapons.

Compared with other stores, it's more comprehensive at best.

This is why the number of members in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance increases very slowly.

The price of the items being bid at the low-price auction cannot go up, so naturally there will be fewer people who meet this condition.

You must know that this is a thousand spiritual stones, not a small amount!

The vast majority of casual cultivators cannot spend so many spiritual stones within half a year.

Even some large disciples cannot spend so many spiritual stones in such a short period of time if they need special circumstances.

"Every time you send Shadow Guards back to Yong'an City to hand over resources, remember to bring back the Shadow Stone."

"When necessary, you can consider building a long-distance teleportation array."

"There's nothing else, just watch and deal with it."

Luo Yan knew very well that now was a pioneering stage, whether it was the Lingdan Chamber of Commerce or the secret alliance of casual cultivators.

Don't rush these two lines, you have to take it one step at a time.

Therefore, he had no intention of urging Mr. Chen.

As long as the old shopkeeper is helping him properly and carefully planning the future of the Lingdan Chamber of Commerce, it will be fine.

As time goes by, the Chamber of Commerce will naturally grow.

In a short period of time, Luo Yan wouldn't be able to use this Xianqi trick.

As for whether to use both kindness and power against the two old shopkeepers, Luo Yan didn't think it was necessary.

After all, they are two old men in the world, let alone old foxes.

But after living for so long, these two people have never seen anything like this.

Some of the techniques of imperial control are probably even better than Luo Yan's.

He only needs to give orders. I believe that these two old guys have their own weight in their hearts.

If he really had two intentions, Luo Yan would not be merciful.

There is no point in keeping a disobedient subordinate.

Then no wonder he is so ruthless.

"Should we give them an independent personal identity jade token now?"

Luo Yan thought for a while and decided to wait for a while.

The Lingdan Merchant Guild is still very small now, so even if special jade talismans are refined for them, they will be of little use.

Still have to wait.
