A goateed strategist stroked his beard and smiled, with an expression of being fully prepared: "Your Highness, this Ji Changsheng is like a grasshopper after autumn, he won't be able to jump for much longer."
“How come you see?”
"He killed Fairy Linglong's husband. Although he condensed the Golden Lotus of Merit, he was not able to stay on the mountain. This is enough to explain everything. Fairy Linglong already hated him, and when he went down the mountain, he was said to have offended the temple master."
At this point, the goat-bearded strategist chuckled, "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. When the Bai family was still around, Ji Changsheng was of course a general under the temple master. Now that the Bai family is gone, Ji Changsheng is naturally of no use. Why should the temple master offend Fairy Linglong because of a mere inner sect disciple?"
The prince nodded slowly, but still had a different opinion: "Mr. Du has a point, but Fairy Linglong specially passed down the Linglong Sword Order for Ji Changsheng, not allowing cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage to enter our Sheng Kingdom."
Mr. Du waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, Fairy Linglong did this not for Ji Changsheng, but to uphold the rules of the cultivation world. I also know something about the cultivation world. These famous and upright sects have never allowed their disciples to be bullied. Of course, when they go to bully the Demon Sect, they often fight shoulder to shoulder without following any rules."
Prince: "..."
There's nothing wrong with it.
Why are righteous sects more desirable than demon sects? A big part of the reason is that righteous sects follow the rules for their own people and have the strength to enforce the rules.
As long as you integrate into this system, you will be protected by the rules and your security will be greatly guaranteed.
On the surface, this rule is ironclad and will not be easily broken.
When Ji Changsheng killed Bai Guanlin, he disguised himself as Jiang Boqing, otherwise the consequences would have been very serious.
But in the Demon Sect, if you kill someone, you kill him/her. The strong are respected and there are not so many rules.
Therefore, the death rate of disciples of the Demon Sect remains high, and the success rate of the righteous sects is much higher than that of the Demon Sect.
Only when facing evil cult monsters will the righteous immortals break the rules.
Double standards are the essence of righteousness.
Very flexible bottom line.
This is also one of the reasons why Ji Changsheng admires the righteous path.
Mr. Du continued, "This Ji Changsheng is too young. Judging from what he said in the letter, it seems that he wants to reorganize the Fudi business."
At this point, Mr. Du couldn't help laughing: "Does he know what he is talking about?"
Hearing what Mr. Du said, the other counselors couldn't help but burst into laughter.
“It’s still too young.”
"Ji Changsheng has no idea of the importance of the blessed land business."
"Although the blessed land business was initiated by Sheng Taiping... oh, no, it was Bai Shizhi who started it, but now the blessed land business has become the largest source of income for the national treasury. If the blessed land business is rectified, Sheng State will immediately collapse by half."
"All the major merchants in the blessed lands have powerful connections behind them, and many of them are related to the righteous immortal sects. Even if Ji Changsheng is really a disciple of Xuandu Temple, he cannot shake such a profit group. What's more, he is just an outer sect elder of Xuandu Temple who offended Fairy Linglong. There is no need to worry about him."
……
The counselors discussed it, but the conclusions they reached were basically the same:
Ji Changsheng's attempt to get into the blessed land business is beyond his capabilities.
It’s not that they look down on Ji Changsheng, but they know how deep the water is behind the Fudi business.
Mr. Du bowed and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Unless Fairy Linglong takes action personally, the business of the blessed land will never be affected. Ji Changsheng is still too young and doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Since he wants to start with the blessed land business and has sent a letter to Your Highness asking Your Highness to make some preparations in advance, Your Highness should give him a show. After all, he is also an outer sect elder of Xuandu Temple, so we still have to give him face."
The prince humbly asked, "Please tell me, sir, what should I do?"
Mr. Du chuckled, "Xuan Du Temple values merit the most. Ji Changsheng wants to move up, so he naturally hopes to let the people of Shengguo live and work in peace and contentment, and let Shengguo prosper. However, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and we cannot easily start a war. Moreover, the relationship behind this is intricate and complicated. We must not change the court mechanism of our Shengguo that has been running smoothly for many years just for Ji Changsheng's selfishness."
The prince interrupted Mr. Du and said, "Mr. Du, please speak in a simpler way."
He listened for a minute and didn't hear a single useful word.
However, what counselors are best at is talking nonsense.
Mr. Du's next nonsense opened the prince's eyes.
"Your Highness, Ji Changsheng asked you to reorganize the business of the blessed land and reduce the pressure on the people and independent cultivators. You must agree to this matter, after all, he now represents Xuandu Temple. So you only need to do one thing - release all measures except price reduction!"
The prince's eyes lit up, and after saluting for a moment, he bowed deeply to Mr. Du and said, "Mr. Du is a great talent."
Mr. Du chuckled and said, "The best way to deal with a young man like Ji Changsheng is to boil a frog in warm water. After a while, he will understand what it means to put the overall situation first."
A quarter of an hour later.
The counselors dispersed.
The prince dismissed his attendants and walked into his own bedroom. He glanced at the Crown Princess who was already fast asleep, and then lit a soul-calling incense.
After a while, the reflection of the "Sanzu River" became faintly visible in the smoke.
The "boatman" looked here while sailing.
The prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the "boatman".
"Disciple has met Master."
The boatman nodded slightly: "What's the matter?"
The prince said, "I have received a letter from Ji Changsheng, asking me to sort out the blessed land business in Sheng State."
The boatman was not surprised: "For the disciples of Xuandu Temple, the fastest way to accumulate merit is to solve the blessed land business. Ji Changsheng's idea is correct, but unfortunately he is too short-sighted. He doesn't know how many powerful backgrounds are behind the blessed land business. Does he think that all sects can be like Xuandu Temple without worrying about resources?"
The prince asked, "Master, does the sect have any instructions?"
The "boatman" said, "To transform Shengguo's destiny totem into a dragon is Ji Changsheng's trial mission to advance to Xuandu Temple. Your mission is related to him. Destroy Ji Changsheng's trial and make Xuandu Temple lose a disciple. One year later, if Ji Changsheng fails to advance to Xuandu Temple, you will be Huangquan Sect's disciple, and I will help you advance to Nascent Soul."
The prince was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."
The boatman said, "Shengguo is your home ground. Seize this opportunity. In the future, you will be the 'crown prince' of Huangquan Sect."
Chapter 68 I can tell at a glance that you are a demon from the Demon Cult
after one day.
Xuandu Temple’s office in Shengguo.
As soon as Ji Changsheng arrived here, he received a visit from an old friend.
"Red leaves?"
When Ji Changsheng saw Ying Hongye, his eyes suddenly lit up.
But then he asked curiously: "Hongye, why are you wearing the uniform of Danqing Pavilion disciples?"
The standard attire for disciples of Xuandu Temple is the Taoist robe.
At this time, Ying Hongye was wearing a red outfit.
It was exactly the same set of clothes that she, Ji Changsheng and Li Daoyan wore when they disguised themselves.
However, they had to disguise themselves at that time because they were investigating Sheng Taiping's affairs.
Now it is totally unnecessary.
Ji Changsheng is so weird.
Ying Hongye smiled and hugged Ji Changsheng, then explained: "I am now a disciple of Danqing Pavilion."
Ji Changsheng: "What's going on? Hongye, have you left Xuandu Temple?"
Ying Hongye shook his head and said, "That's not the case, but I have analyzed it carefully myself. Even if I continue to study in Xuandu Temple, I won't be able to make much progress. It's better to choose to study in Danqing Pavilion. Maybe there will be a different world."
"What do you mean?"
Ying Hongye said, "On the surface, I am an exchange student sent by Xuandu Temple to Danqing Pavilion for further study. It's a good opportunity for me to introduce you, Changsheng, to Brother Cao Ziming, who is an exchange student sent by Danqing Pavilion to Xuandu Temple. It's like we have swapped sects and are going to each other to learn more advanced cultivation methods."
Exchange Students?
Study abroad for further studies?
It was not difficult for Ji Changsheng to accept such a concept, but he had not thought that such a practice could exist in this world where one could practice.
Sure enough, his understanding of this world is still superficial.
Ji Changsheng took the initiative to extend a hand of friendship to the honest Cao Ziming: "Hello, Senior Brother Cao."
Cao Ziming grasped Ji Changsheng's hand, and said with some emotion: "I am happy to see Junior Brother Ji today. I, Cao Ziming, will die with no regrets."
Ji Changsheng: "?"
He looked at Ying Hongye in confusion.
Ying Hongye explained: "Senior Brother Cao is your crazy admirer."
Ji Changsheng blinked.
Do I still have brain dead fans?
"Changsheng, you killed Bai Shizhi. This incident has a huge impact." Ying Hongye shrugged and said, "I went to Danqing Pavilion and found out that half of the young disciples of this generation admire you very much. After all, what you did is very much to their liking."
Ji Changsheng thought of the purpose of Danqing Pavilion and quickly accepted this matter.
"Senior Brother Cao, you can let go of my hand now." Ji Changsheng reminded.
If Cao Ziming was replaced by a junior sister from Danqing Pavilion who was good at singing and dancing, Ji Changsheng wouldn't mind having a friendly and in-depth exchange with her.
But Cao Ziming is a burly man, and although it is nice to have him as his fan, Ji Changsheng is still more interested in Ying Hongye.
Ying Hongye formally introduced Ji Changsheng and Cao Ziming to each other: "Brother Cao, Changsheng is the number one inner disciple of Xuandu Temple this generation. He is currently undergoing the true disciple trial. He must help Shengguo's destiny totem transform into a dragon within a year.
"Changsheng, Senior Brother Cao is a genius disciple trained by Danqing Pavilion. He is thirty-seven years old this year and has reached the late Jindan stage. He is expected to reach Yuanying within ten years."
Ji Changsheng stood in awe.
At the age of thirty-seven, at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, this speed of cultivation is really not slow.
After all, even for him, it took a long time to cultivate to the Golden Core stage... um, it took several days.
In short, I am in awe.
"Xuan Du Temple and Dan Qing Pavilion have always been on good terms. Every year, there are several places for exchange students, allowing the two sects to share what they have. Senior Brother Cao and I took the initiative to apply for this exchange, which will last for two years. After two years, Senior Brother Cao and I will choose which sect to join."
Ji Changsheng nodded, but still felt a little strange: "Hongye, from what I heard from you, do you want to really join Danqing Pavilion?"
"Yes." Ying Hongye did not deny it.
"Why?" Ji Changsheng asked, and then took the initiative to apologize to Cao Ziming: "Senior Brother Cao, I have always respected Danqing Pavilion. I have no other intentions. I am just curious why Hongye gave up the identity of Xuandu Temple's disciple."
Cao Ziming nodded to show his understanding.
Although Danqing Pavilion is also a top sect, Xuandu Temple is recognized as the best in the world.
Ying Hongye chuckled and said, "Because of you."
Ji Changsheng: "... Hongye, I feel a little panicked when you say that."
Ying Hongye waved his hand and explained, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that you and Changsheng are from the same class. Changsheng, you have already taken up all the luck of this class of disciples. The higher the cultivators go, the more intense the competition becomes, and it is difficult for both sides to win. Generally speaking, the training resources for a class of disciples are fixed. I don't want to compete with you, Changsheng, and I don't think I can win against you. Instead of staying in Xuandu Temple, it's better to go to Danqing Pavilion to open up a new world. Moreover, our Ying family has a deeper foundation in Danqing Pavilion than in Xuandu Temple, and I can get better training in Danqing Pavilion."
Ji Changsheng thought for a moment: "Am I blocking your way?"
Ying Hongye smiled casually: "Changsheng, you rose to prominence with your own ability. Even if you want to block someone, you are blocking Bai Guanlin's way. It has nothing to do with me. And you are indeed moving too fast. I have just established my foundation, and you are already in the middle stage of the golden elixir. Even if your foundation is unstable, a golden elixir is still a golden elixir."
At this point, Ying Hongye's tone was somewhat skeptical: "When we were in the mountains, the elder who preached the scriptures told us that foundation is very important. But seeing how you, Changsheng, are brave and diligent, taking advantage of all the luck and resources, I am somewhat skeptical of the elder's theory. Changsheng, you are really fast at every step."
Although it is said that flowing water does not compete for the lead, but for the continuous flow, if you can become famous at a young age, why not compete for the lead?
Before Ji Changsheng appeared, Ying Hongye had never doubted the previous mainstream theory.
Although there had been the weird case of Li Changxi before, when everyone considered the problem, they automatically excluded mental illness.
However, Ji Changsheng's sudden appearance made Ying Hongye begin to doubt.
Although she also knew that Ji Changsheng's foundation was unstable.
But the golden elixir is the golden elixir.
The treatment enjoyed is completely different from that of building a foundation.
As for foundation, with Ji Changsheng's current cultivation strength and status, he can completely make up for the shortcomings of the foundation-building period.
In fact, Ying Hongye was overthinking.
Ji Changsheng never thought about making up for his foundation.
He just thinks he's not making progress fast enough, so he doesn't have time to look back.
Ji Changsheng said calmly: "My idea is that the winner takes all, but my way of cultivation is likely to make enemies all over the world, so learning from me may not be a good thing."
Ying Hongye nodded, with a tone of admiration: "Your way of cultivation is not just a matter of making enemies all over the world, you directly killed Fairy Linglong's husband."
