The founder of all religions

The Sword Lord's Mansion is a famous swordsmith in the world. He is enshrined by the imperial court and is a craftsman for the royal family. The cost of replacing swords and tools for the patrol camp every year is enough to turn the Lin family of Longyuan Mansion into a poor peasant class in an instant.

In Wangxuan City, the Jianjun Mansion has a history of nearly a thousand years, and its fortune can be traced back to the Shenzong era. It is one of the most prestigious families.

"Jianjun Mansion? A local prominent family, why is this sign so sloppy?"

Compared with other wealthy families in Longyuan Mansion, the courtyard of Jianjun Mansion is more majestic, showing its ancient heritage in a low-key manner. Even the horse bolts in front of the door are of the ancient style, with cloud patterns lingering and ancient seals soaring into the air. Quite charming.

It's just that the door plaque with the three characters "Sword Lord's Mansion" engraved on it seems a bit random.

"This is the handwriting of His Majesty Shenzong..." Master Ji took Li Mo and reminded him in a low voice.

"No wonder it's so scrawled at first glance, but when you look closely, you feel like a king." Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"When His Majesty Shenzong wrote this plaque in his hand, he was just a prince..." Master Ji whispered.

"Shenzong's destiny is to be fulfilled, and he will show his dragon spirit when he is a prince..."

"Brother Li understands calligraphy and destiny."

Master Ji smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

At this moment, there were already a lot of cars and horses in front of Jianjun's house, people coming and going were rich and noble, but Li Mo and Li Mo entered the house from the side door. For this reason, Master Ji also stuffed ten taels of silver into the concierge.

"Brother Ji, why did you give him money? Weren't you invited here?"

Li Mo looked at Master Ji's sneaky appearance and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Brother Li, you don't know this, but I like the feeling of being sneaky." Master Ji grinned and said, "For the taste, I recommend you to read a book..."

"What book?" Li Mo's eyes widened, and he felt more and more that this handsome young man with whom he fell in love at first sight didn't look like a serious person... No, he didn't look like a human being.

"The name of this book is "Cao Thief"... This is a strange book that came out during the Shenzong era. Now it has become an only copy. You can't buy it on the market..."

Master Ji winked and said, "I'll give it to you later... I'll lend it to you for tasting."

"A strange book from the Shenzong era?" Li Mo was stunned: "Is that a banned book?"

He had seen records about this banned book in folk picture books obtained by Feng Wannian. It was said that it was told by a strange person in the Shenzong era. It told the story of a prince named Cao and his wife. The scale was so large that it had once been It affected the folk customs in various places, so it was banned.

"Now it's an only copy...it's worth thousands of gold." Master Ji said in a deep voice.

"Worth a thousand pieces of gold?"

"Do you think I'm joking? As long as you can take out a copy, there are many booksellers outside who will buy it. If the quality is not good enough, you can buy it for 8,000 taels. If the quality is good, you can get an apartment." Master Ji whispered.

"So much money?" Li Mo was dumbfounded. This was the first time he heard that Huang...banned books could make a lot of money.

"The water is very deep in here."

While talking, Master Ji took Li Mo to the back garden. Judging from his familiar demeanor, it was obvious that this was not his first time entering the Jianjun Mansion.

In the distance, on the open-air balcony, there were singing and dancing birds, and stunning beauties gathered together. Sitting in the top seat was the host of today's [Yalan Gathering], the fourth young lady of Jianjun Mansion, Ning Huaixiu.

"She is indeed a lady among all of us."

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh, even though he was far away, he could still feel the outstanding temperament of this four-thousand-gold man from the Sword Lord's Mansion. He was still in his prime, facing the descendants of various sects, but he spoke well, and his generosity showed his warmth.

"There are five daughters in Jianjun's mansion. Mr. Laofu didn't have a son until he was over fifty years old, and he regards it as a treasure..." Master Ji said in a deep voice.

"Each of the five girls in Jianjun's Mansion is capable of taking charge of their own affairs."

At this point, Master Ji came to Li Mo's side: "This fourth lady is the least talented. She is eighteen years old, but she is already a master in the eight-inch realm."

"The weakest talent?" Li Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Master Ji has redefined talent. From this alone, it can be seen that the world is vast and the level of cultivation outside is indeed much higher than that of Longyuan Mansion.

"It's just compared to her sisters." Master Ji explained.

Li Mo nodded and wanted to ask something more. The reason why he came to Jianjun Mansion was to learn about the past of Black Sword.

After all, the Sword Lord's Mansion once forged magic swords for Black Swords.

"Look..."

At this moment, Master Ji pulled Li Mo's sleeve and pointed to the distant balcony, where a thin, beautiful girl with a bookish air was talking to Ning Huaixiu.

"What's wrong? Do you know her?" Li Mo couldn't help but look at the woman twice.

Compared with Ning Huaixiu, this woman seemed to have stepped out of a book. She exuded a unique temperament and seemed to have faint spiritual fluctuations, which was quite strange.

"Her name is Mo Jinshu, and she is the daughter of Zhengyi Bookstore." Master Ji's eyes were shining, staring at the delicate figure.

"Justice Bookstore? You mean..."

"Yes, it's the largest bookseller in the world, Zhengyi Bookstore..." Master Ji nodded.

Zhengyi Bookstore was founded nine hundred years ago during the Shenzong era. It was originally just a ninth-rate bookseller who printed and sold popular novels. However, today, it has become an imperial merchant.

Every year, the official documents, manuscripts, and texts printed by the imperial court, as well as various reading materials published all over the country, collections of classics and history, and even tabloid publications in various states, prefectures, and cities are all handled by Zhengyi Book Company.

Even when opening courses to obtain scholars, all study rooms and other items are purchased through Zhengyi Bookstore.

In a word, Zhengyi Bookstore is the only one that sells books to the point where it ranks among the world's wealthy businessmen.

Their slogan is to promote justice through words.

"It's so great..." Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"The only volume of "Cao Thief" I just mentioned was produced by their family." Master Ji said softly.

"Um!?"

"Now, 70% of the big businessmen speculating on books outside belong to Zhengyi Book Company... Hehe, they copied a manuscript of the new No. 1 scholar last year for 20,000 taels of silver. The printed version will be published next month for 10 taels of silver."

"There are so many things here." Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

The ways to make money are like chicken peeing, everyone has his own way.

"Of course, the most profitable thing here is what I just mentioned... the banned books." Master Ji said calmly.

"Are they still doing this now?"

"Of course, this is the urgent need, the spiritual food that the people need... The teachings of the saints are good, but not everyone can read them. You must satisfy your desires before you can sit down and discuss the truth..."

"If you ask the common people what the righteousness of a saint is, he may not know, but if you ask him what he should do when he turns off the lights every night, he will definitely understand."

Speaking of this, Master Ji chuckled and said, "Besides, Zhengyi Bookstore made its fortune from this bowl of rice."

More than 900 years ago, Zhengyi Book Company was just a low-level bookseller, making a living by publishing popular novels and some erotic poems.

But it is said that when the ancestors of Zhengyi Bookstore were at their lowest, they met a strange man. He was a man of extraordinary imagination and unbridled imagination. His first work opened up the market for Zhengyi Bookstore and earned the first pot of gold.

"Erlang and his sister-in-law!?" Li Mo had a strange look on his face when he heard the title of the first book that made Zhengyi Book Company's fortune.

"What are you writing about?"

"The plot is twists and turns and soul-stirring. To sum it up in one sentence..." Master Ji thought for a while and concluded immediately.

"A third-rate salesman, a second-rate cook, a first-rate sister-in-law, and a dirty me."

"You also took part in it..."

"I also have this unique volume... If you are interested, I can lend it to you for tasting."

Master Ji is quite generous, and he is quite familiar with the history of Zhengyi Book Company.

It was precisely because of his acquaintance with that strange man that the founder of Zhengyi Bookstore became unstoppable. The "Duck Mother's Belt" he published one after another was also well received.

This book takes a different approach and tells the story of a duck mother who turns into a demon and brings her seven daughters with her to meet a talented scholar. It is the first to tell the story of the forbidden romance between humans and demons. Once it was released, it became a hit. Popular in the capital.

In just two months, the book was sold in all major state capitals and sold millions of copies, breaking the sales record of "Daqian Law" in one fell swoop.

Next, "Apricot Fantasy" and "Oil in the World" published by Zhengyi Book Company both became popular books, especially "Apricot Fantasy", which tells the story of a red apricot plant that turns into a demon, blends into the world of mortals, and has a relationship with the neighbor's old man. A poignant story of love.

This book was widely praised by many talented people and beautiful women, and became one of the top ten popular books of the year.

"this……"

Li Mo was stunned.

"The strange man that the ancestor of the Mo family knew is indeed extraordinary. It was with the five masterpieces of "Cao Thief", "Erlang and Sister-in-law", "Duck Mother's Belt", "Xing Fantasy" and "Oil in the World" that he established Zhengyi Bookstore A thousand-year legacy.”

"To this day, these five books are regarded as the [Five Great Justices] in the book speculation circle. If you collect them all, you can easily change your apartment in the capital." Master Ji said calmly.

"I...I'm still too ignorant, too young...I know absolutely nothing about this world."

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the ancients said that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. If I didn't come out and see, I really wouldn't know that this world is so unimaginable.

"Now you know, this daughter of Zhengyi Bookstore rarely shows up." Master Ji said in a low voice.

Mo Jinshu and Ning Huaixiu were close friends. It coincided with the Xuantian Pavilion assessment and the world's mountain sects gathered in Wangxuan City. She was invited to attend the [Lanya Gathering]. She wanted to see what the major sects were like this year. Are there any extraordinary people?

"Take your time and watch. You're just enjoying your time here. Don't show your face." Master Ji patted Li Mo's shoulder and whispered.

"where did you go?"

"I'm going to give you a gift."

Master Ji patted the gift box containing the Eight Li Sajia Luo socks in his hand, showed a meaningful smile, turned around and disappeared into the rockery.

"Why do I feel like he just sneaked in?" Li Mo murmured.

"Miss Yue is the descendant of Yaoshenshan. I heard that Yaoshenshan once enshrined a Nine-Aperture Golden Pill as a congratulatory gift to the Master of Xuantian Pavilion. I wonder if this is the case?"

At this moment, Mo Jinshu's soft voice sounded slowly, like playing an empty harp, disturbing people's hearts.

"Yes, that's right."

On the balcony, Yue Xiaoxiang stood up slightly, and her every move attracted everyone's attention.

The five mountain gates are no small matter, even in the capital, they have a very important weight. This descendant of the Medicine God Mountain is not inferior to Mo Jinshu and Ning Huaixiu.

"Back then, our Medicine God Mountain offered the [Nine Apertures Golden Pill] as a gift, but we were intercepted and killed by the Sword Immortal in White, one of the eight great demon immortals in the world." Yue Xiaoxiang murmured softly.

At the mention of that name, a look of awe appeared on everyone's faces.

The swordsman in white has a fierce reputation in the world. It is said that three hundred years ago, before he had achieved magical powers and had just cast his Taoist foundation, he dared to intercept the congratulatory gift presented to the master of Xuantian Pavilion. His courage was rare in ancient and modern times.

"I heard that the Nine Apertures Golden Pill is extremely magical and absorbs the essence of the Medicine God Mountain [Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine Sutra]..." Mo Jinshu spoke again.

Yue Linglong's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but take a second look at the daughter of the Justice Bookstore.

"Miss Mo's family is indeed well-informed. The [Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine Sutra] is the foundation of our Medicine Mountain, and it is also the highest secret book..."

As she spoke, Yue Xiaoxiang's clothes danced lightly, and her terrifying inner aura was like the waves of the river and sea. Faintly, a ray of spiritual light suddenly appeared, rising from her Dantian, like an elixir fruit that had just formed, enveloping the Xuanxia blossoms. .

"Spiritual Root Mother Medicine!?" Mo Jinshu's face changed color and she cried out.

"Good eyesight." Yue Xiaoxiang whispered softly, but there was a look of pride on her beautiful face.

"Practice is the intertwining of lives, the method of collecting herbs and refining elixirs... This is the essence of Yaoshenshan's method." Mo Jinshu murmured softly, with a trace of solemnity in his beautiful eyes.

According to Yaoshenshan's theory, spiritual practice is like collecting medicine to make an elixir. Life is the great medicine. When it is extremely strong, it can become an elixir.

It is said that in Yaoshen Mountain, only those who have obtained the true teachings and have extremely high attainments in the "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine Sutra" can produce the mother medicine on the spiritual roots.

This kind of person's life is strong, far beyond the limits of ordinary people.

The great medicine will be ready. Day after day, if you continue to collect medicines and refine the elixir, you will be able to enter the immeasurable realm.

Mo Jinshu did not expect that Yue Xiaoxiang had already mastered the mother medicine at such a young age. No wonder she heard from the elders in the clan that this Xuantian Pavilion final exam was very important and would be the strongest in thirty years.

"This is the same method for refining the Nine Apertures Golden Pill. The elixir becomes the Nine Apertures, and it can continuously collect medicines and strengthen itself." Yue Xiaoxiang said softly.

The Nine Apertures Golden Pill does not have much medicinal power when it is first formed. However, this pill has extremely terrifying growth potential. The older it is, the higher the potency.

"Oh? I don't know where the Nine Aperture Golden Pill fell." Ning Huaixiu also became more energetic. Three hundred years have passed, and the Golden Pill must have changed from what it used to be.

"It's a pity that that thing surrendered and turned into a demon. It has fallen into decline and is no longer as magical as it once was."

Yue Xiaoxiang said with a scornful expression.

"Transformed into a demon? Could it be that the rumors are true?" Mo Jinshu looked strange.

Rumor has it that the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill fell in the barren mountain and became a demon, but was later subdued by the Black Sword and suppressed in his former mountain gate.

"Of course it's true... Those people in the mountains and wilds don't know the power of this demon... The nine-orificed demon will suck all the luck of their sect, and they will be defeated and weakened sooner or later." Yue Xiaoxiang said lightly.

"Huh? No wonder Luofu Mountain is not as good as the previous generation." Li Mo curled his lips.

It is said outside that the Black Sword has depleted the sect's eight hundred years of luck, which is nonsense.

"Miss Yue, since Yaoshenshan knows the whereabouts of that treasure, why don't you get it back?" At this moment, someone asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Jinshu and Ning Huaixiu couldn't help but raise doubtful glances.

"Of course I am nourishing myself with medicine. With such karma, I am afraid that the little gate in the mountain will not be able to survive. When the Nine Aperture Golden Pill absorbs all the luck of the sect, I will naturally go to recover it..."

Yue Xiaoxiang's words revealed endless confidence, and the terrifying coercion exuded by the Medicine Goddess Mother Medicine discouraged many young masters who were eager to try.

Such a strong breath of life almost condensed into substance, bringing an unimaginable sense of oppression.

Looking at Wangxuan City, just in terms of the strength of life, I am afraid that no one will be able to control it.

"If you take too much medicine, your breath will become louder."

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded from a distance, echoing like thunder on the tower.

Yue Xiaoxiang's eyes narrowed and she subconsciously looked up. In an instant, a faint golden air flow rose into the sky. The life and death elixir was filled with mysterious luck. The terrifying breath of life actually made the mother elixir tremble with shock.
