This heaven is somewhat similar to a special cave, but it is more closely connected with the outside world. It can gather star power and solar power. However, it is obviously not perfect now. It is a complete empty shell. Fortunately, the part that Ji Yuan and others wanted to achieve has been achieved.
Without his thinking, Ji Yuan and others did not leave the so-called "Gate of Heaven" at all, which means that the "Road to Heaven" was completely cut off. If one wanted to enter this heaven, one could either go through Ji Yuan, Qin Zizhou or Huang Xingye, and have them cast a spell to send people to heaven, or one could get the approval of Yunshan Temple, practice "The Transformation of Heaven and Earth" to a very high level, and sense the existence of heaven.
It was from the autumn of that year that the scene of the Milky Way in Bingzhou's sky became more real.
Although ordinary people could not see anything about the galaxy before, practitioners with good cultivation could still see the special features of the bright starlight. But looking at it now, even those with high cultivation could not see much abnormality. It's just that they all have memories of the previous starry sky and know that this galaxy appeared later.
At the top of Yunshan Yanxia Peak, everyone else was still looking at the stars in the sky, but Xiezhi suddenly lowered his head to look towards the Yunshan Jiuguan on the mountainside. He could feel that Ji Yuan and the other two had returned.
Without disturbing others, Xiezhi quietly went down the mountain top alone and went to the Yunshan Old Temple. When he walked into the temple, he saw Ji Yuan and Qin Zizhou already sitting on the empty cushions, and in front of them stood a little man as tall as a book. It was Huang Xingye, who was supposed to be the size of an ordinary person.
"Congratulations to the three of you for successfully creating the Shangyang Heaven Realm!"
This is the name that Xiezhi understands himself. On the earth, there is Huangquan that gathers Yin, and in the sky, there is Tianhe that gathers Yang. The former is in the underworld, while Tianhe and the heaven are actually included in the entire Yang world. It is a kind of supplement to balance Yin and Yang, which is what Ji Yuan said, "Yin cannot grow alone, and Yang cannot be born alone."
"Mr. Xie is exaggerating. The heavenly realm is just an empty shell and extremely fragile. It is just hidden for convenience. It won't be too late to praise it when it really becomes the realm of the gods."
Qin Zizhou said this with a smile, and Ji Yuan and Huang Xingye on the side also nodded slowly. Of course, it is no problem for Tianhe to scare people now. Presumably, there are some people who are a little uneasy when they look up at the starry sky.
Xiezhi didn't say any more and walked directly into the main hall, pulled over a cushion and sat down.
"Although I haven't come to wake you up once, a lot of things have happened in the past few years. Just because it hasn't reached the point where I have to alarm you doesn't mean that the matter is not serious..."
Xiezhi did not ask about the affairs of the heaven, but simply spoke briefly about the changes he had been paying attention to. Every once in a while, he would go outside Yunshan on behalf of Ji Yuan to attract the Tianji Pavilion's flying sword for communication, and combined with his own understanding, he would keep an eye on the situation in the world at all times.
Ji Yuan and others restrained their smiles, looked at Xiezhi seriously, and waited for his next words. Even Huang Xingye sat cross-legged on a cushion that was bigger than a bed for him.
Some things were foreseeable, while others were more unexpected.
There are the impacts brought by the dragon clan's reclamation of the wasteland and the extension of the sea area; there is the successful transformation of the Weimei Sect's Heaven-Devouring Beast; there are increasingly unstable changes in the underworld; there is the Immortal World, which did not have much positive feedback on the previous warnings from the Tianji Pavilion, and was pushed by Wei Wuwei on the matter of magic money.
When Xiezhi was talking about the matter of Dharma money, he especially talked about Wei Wuwei in detail. For a person like Xiezhi who was not very skilled in cultivation and was unlikely to be in his eyes, the fact that he cared so much about Wei Wuwei, a person whose Taoism was so terrible, was definitely a great recognition of him.
…
At this moment, at the top of Yuelu Mountain, in a magnificent building called Lingbaoxuan, there is a treasure room filled with tables and chairs, which is filled with some of Lingbaoxuan's senior and well-trained governors. They sit quietly in it as if waiting for something.
About half a minute later, there were slight footsteps outside, and Wei Wuwei hurried over, clutching a gold-rimmed magical book. When he reached the door and saw the situation inside, he immediately showed a slightly surprised expression.
"Uh, are all the Taoist friends here? When did you arrive? Notify Wei to come over, but what big thing happened?"
"Master Wei!" "Mr. Wei!"
"Friend Wei!"
"Please take a seat."
The monks inside stood up one after another to greet Wei Wuwei and invited him to take a seat. The latter did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly returned the greeting. He showed a serious face and walked quickly with his fat body. In a few steps, he had walked to an empty seat near the inside and sat down.
"Friend Li, can you help me solve this puzzle?"
When Wei Wuwei asked this question, an old man not far away nodded and slowly told the story. It was indeed related to the magic money.
The magic money prepared by Wei Wuwei and Lingbaoxuan had been slowly released starting from the major fairy ports four years ago.
At first, the existence of magic money was just regarded by some monks as a small gadget released by some practitioners. It was just different from talismans and had different functions. It was more convenient to carry and use, and was also more novel.
However, as this magic money continued to flow out in large quantities, its interoperability and convenience soon became apparent, and it could be used to complement one's own practice and magic power. Soon, like some good talismans, it was favored by the majority of practitioners. No matter whether they were immortal practitioners, Buddhist practitioners, demon practitioners, or monsters, they were all very interested in magic money.
Soon, people discovered that there were several distinct types of magic coins, each level more magical, and even the magic coins at the top were a treasure called "Qiankun Ruyi Money". As the name suggests, it could do whatever you want, and all magic could be displayed and all wonders could be revealed. In some extreme cases, it could even turn the world upside down. Even those with high cultivation levels would flock to it.
Practicing various paths, especially the orthodox path, is sometimes considered very Buddhist, but some things will make them sensitive to a certain extent, just like when the fortunes of literature and martial arts of humanity first appeared and the general trend of humanity began to turn from soft to hard, many sects of practice chose to support humanity.
"Nowadays, many practitioners, even among fellow practitioners in some sects, have widely used magic money to measure the value of immortal herbs, elixirs, talismans, and various items..."
When Wei Wuwei heard this, he understood everything. Without waiting for the cultivator to continue, he narrowed his eyes and spoke.
"Let me guess. Those big sects must have realized the huge impact of this change and felt that something was wrong, right?"
"Yes, just as Patriarch Wei said, not only some of the major immortal sects, but also many righteous masters have realized that the magic money has affected the fate of the immortals. Some people also think that the immortals' love of money is really vulgar and will shake their hearts in seeking the Tao... Some sects have strictly checked the immortal ports and temporarily sealed our treasure pavilions with no known release date... If this continues, I am afraid that more immortal palaces will follow suit, and our years of hard work will go to waste..."
Wei Wuwei laughed. What about shaking one's determination to seek the truth was of course nonsense. To put it bluntly, magic money was actually a kind of treasure for cultivation. It was not much different from talismans, the spirits of the five elements, and various magical herbs and elixirs. It just had stronger liquidity.
If the desire to seek the truth is so easily shaken, it makes no difference whether one has Dharma money or not. One will never be able to achieve anything in cultivation. Even the masters of Lingbaoxuan present understand this. After all, they are smart and have been involved in the ways of business for so long.
But although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. Wei Wuwei restrained his smile and nodded slowly.
"They are indeed the masters of the immortal way. Alas, I did not expect such a bad influence. It is really my fault!"
Wei Wuwei stood up and stroked his round chin where his beard was not too long.
"Alas! We immortals are devoted to seeking the truth. To put it bluntly, money is nothing more than material possessions. As the saying goes, the wisdom of the elders is indispensable. Wei has been practicing for less than sixty years, and he almost made a big mistake!"
"boom… "
Wei Wuwei slammed the table beside him, causing the teacups on it to jingle and also startling the hearts of the cultivators present. They all looked at him, but Wei Wuwei's emotions were so well expressed that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Or was he expressing his true thoughts
"Then... how should we deal with it?"
"This group of people, what did they say before? Now... Humph!"
"That's right, this is too much!"
"Oh, it's infuriating!"
…
Many of the Lingbaoxuan monks present were angry. In fact, when the magic money was just about to be rolled out, they had already approached all the major sects, but at that time no one paid any attention to them.
What is Lingbaoxuan? A group of casual cultivators
They are not even qualified to attend the Xianyou Conference. Although the famous immortals can call each other fellow Taoists, they are just being polite.
What is Wei Wuwei
Oh, Yu Huaishan, barely meeting him, um, no immortal base at all? A junior, just smiled and dismissed.
However, a few years after the appearance of magic money, the "ridiculous little way" that was once sneered at has alarmed more and more immortal masters, leading to this meeting between Lingbaoxuan and the high-ranking governor.
Wei Wuwei turned around in surprise and looked at the cultivators around him.
"Why are you so angry, fellow Taoists? What those seniors are thinking and worrying about is all reasonable! They sneered at this at the beginning, so we shouldn't have pushed this matter forward. We can only blame ourselves for being too shallow!"
"Master Wei..."
"Pah~"
Wei Wuwei suddenly clapped his hands vigorously, scaring back what someone next to him wanted to say. Wei Wuwei showed a happy expression and looked at the monks around him.
"Got it! I have come up with a great idea. Since our seniors are not as smart as the seniors, not as wise as the old immortals, and not as famous as the immortal palace, then in my opinion, why not..."
"Not as good as?" "What's not as good as?"
Wei Wuwei listened to the doubts of others, his eyes narrowed with a smile. If the older generation of Dazhen martial arts were present, they would surely recall that this was the origin of the nickname "Smiling Tiger".
"Of course, it is better to ask these masters, these long-standing and prestigious sects, to give guidance on the way of money. Well, I sincerely invite them to participate in this and give guidance! How do you think?"
A word of advice woke the dreamer up. The monks present were not stupid. They were disturbed by their emotions before, and they regarded everything now as the result of their own efforts. They did not think of "giving in profits" for a while.
But the concessions Wei Wuwei mentioned were not just a little bit, it could even be said to be giving up the "Tao".
Someone said something unwillingly.
"Wouldn't they have scoffed at this then? Now..."
"The present is different from the past, Fellow Daoist Zhou! Yesterday we learned the wonder of inaction, today we learn the way of action. We are humbly seeking your advice today, in order to prevent the way of money from falling into the wrong path of immortality. The many righteous masters and famous mountains and sects will definitely not sit idly by!"
Wei Wuwei still smiled, his face full of trust in Senior Xiandao.
Both invitations to Wei Wuwei were full of sincerity. Of course, Ruyi Money was not mentioned in the first time, but now, the matter of Ruyi Money has slowly begun to spread.
"Then... what about the Ruyi money?"
"Yeah, where's the money?"
Wei Wuwei's smile faded and his narrowed eyes slowly opened.
"Alas, the Ruyi Coin was made by Mr. Ji. The coin and the refining method are just stored with us. Even though I don't think anyone else can make it except Mr. Ji, how can we decide?"
"Uh... Right, right! How can we decide?"
"Yes, yes, how can we be Mr. Ji's boss?"
"Great! That's exactly the point!"
Wei Wuwei smiled again.
"Since everyone has no objection, and Wei can represent Yu Huaishan, then it's settled. Send out a visiting card immediately and invite the seniors to gather and discuss. You don't have to worry about Lingbaoxuan. We are the ones who specialize in this. The seniors naturally understand the principle of giving before taking!"
Wei Wuwei told the truth in the second half of his sentence. Everything was within his calculations, and he didn't even have to use some tricks.
At the same time, Wei Wuwei was not worried at all about the proliferation of magic money. Refining this thing was exactly the same as refining elixirs, drawing talismans, and refining instruments. It required a lot of talent and extremely high refining methods. If there was a mistake in making a talisman, it would be ruined. The same was true for magic money. If the level was not enough and time was needed to make up for it, it might be half the result with twice the effort. The higher the level of magic money, the more this was the case. Only Ji Yuan could refine the Ruyi money.
"Well, fellow Taoists, are you all alright? If there is nothing else, I will leave!"
Wei Wuwei drank the tea that he hadn't drunk since then in one gulp, then walked quickly towards the door, but his thoughts did not stop.
"This time it should be about right... One, two, three..."
"Master Wei, please stay!"
Wei Wuwei, who had already reached the door, turned around in surprise.
"Is there anything else important?"
The monks in the room looked at each other, and several Lingbaoxuan masters on duty stepped forward and led dozens of monks to salute Wei Wuwei.
"Please ask the head of the Wei family to take charge of Lingbaoxuan!"
"What!? Wei's cultivation is low and his mind is shallow. How can I be worthy of this..."
Wei Wuwei was shocked!
"Master Wei, we are not people who seek power. To put it bluntly, maintaining Lingbaoxuan is ultimately for cultivation. However, Master Wei's wisdom is ten times better than ours. If you ask Master Wei to take charge, we can cultivate with peace of mind!"
To put it bluntly, Lingbaoxuan was once put together by a group of powerful independent cultivators. Compared to business, the ultimate goal was to cultivate themselves. Wei Wuwei was a man of extraordinary talent and brilliance. Over the years, he had already impressed these cultivators with both his intelligence and character.
He was able to solve problems when in trouble and clear the way when encountering obstacles. In addition, he had control of Ruyi Money and was directly controlled by the person in charge. This was also something Wei Wuwei had planned for.
"Oh... everyone, fellow Taoists, this..."
Wei Wuwei frowned, revealing an extremely embarrassed expression...
