Introducing Lingdao to the Five Sects was not only used as a bargaining chip in negotiations, but also had another purpose, which was to vaguely remind Tianbao Sect.
In this world, there is no such thing as protecting intellectual property rights. Although there are some similar conventional rules, the rules are not as strict as the law after all. Moreover, the consequences for violating those rules vary from person to person. To put it bluntly, it depends on who is more powerful, not who is reasonable.
I think back when Ye Zan came up with the handheld game console, Tianbao Sect studied the refining method on its own. However, Ye Zan had no intention of making his own game console and selling it, so he simply gave the genuine refining method to Tianbao Sect. But on the other hand, Ye Zan did not have the capital at that time to pursue Tianbao Sect's infringement, and in the end he could only accept five thousand spirit stones to settle the matter.
This time, they cooperated with Tianbao Sect to promote spiritual rice. Na Duobao Zhenjun had already taken the spiritual rice seeds for some days, but there was no news about spiritual rice outside. Ye Zan was almost certain that Tianbao Sect had relapsed into its old habit and must have secretly studied spiritual rice seeds.
There is nothing to criticize. If it were any sect, after getting such a batch of spiritual rice seeds, the first thing they would think of is to figure out the mystery. In this world without awareness of intellectual property rights, apart from making the parties involved feel a little uncomfortable, this kind of behavior is not even considered a serious moral issue.
Of course, Ye Zan is not worried. If Tianbaozong makes such a small move, it is impossible for them to figure out the secret of genetic modification anyway. However, he handed over the spiritual rice seeds to Tianbao Sect because he wanted to use Tianbao Sect's channels to promote the spiritual rice as quickly as possible. Naturally, he couldn't watch them dragging it out like this.
Coincidentally, now that Wu Zong has arrived, Ye Zan thought of taking this opportunity to use this spiritual rice as a bargaining chip in negotiations, and casually let the spiritual rice appear in the Shenhua Domain to give Tianbao Sect a warning.
Although, in the future, Tianbao Sect will officially promote and sell spiritual rice seeds, the Five Sects can also purchase them from Tianbao Sect. However, this does not mean that Yu Qingzong is not qualified to use it as a bargaining chip. During the negotiations with Zhenjun Ziyang, the Yuqing Sect made a promise to give the Five Sects a certain discount on the price of spiritual rice seeds, and at the same time, they would also have certain priority in supply.
After all, the quantity of these spiritual rice seeds is still relatively small. It is certain that the initial price will not be low, and it is not something that can be bought with money. Therefore, the conditions of Yuqing Sect are still very attractive to the five sects. At least in exchange, what the Yuqing Sect wants to get is the quota to recruit disciples from their sphere of influence. In other words, although the Yuqing Sect can no longer recruit disciples from the five sects' sphere of influence at will like before, it can still recruit some talented disciples into the sect as long as these quotas are used well.
For the Five Sects, genius disciples are important, but cultivating a genius disciple can actually be regarded as a risky investment.
No one can guarantee that this talented disciple will eventually grow to the height that people expect. Maybe there will be an accident like Qi Qianjun in the middle, and the investment will be wasted. Even if there is no accident, genius disciples are human beings after all, and their characters are also very different. Who can be sure that this genius disciple will devote all his strength to the sect in the end. There are also many geniuses in history who resolutely left the sect to pursue their own path after their sect could not help them reach a higher level.
Therefore, the five sects lost some opportunities to recruit talented disciples in exchange for an opportunity to improve the strength of the entire sect. This should be considered a relatively cost-effective transaction.
In addition, the Yuqing Sect also received another commitment from the Five Sects, that is, when rail transit develops in their country in the future, they will also provide some convenience for this matter, and may even send people to participate in some projects. After all, the Five Sects are also very interested in merit. As long as this matter is verified to a certain extent by the Yuqing Sect, they will never miss such an opportunity.
Zhenjun Ziyang, Zhenren Fuyun and others were finally sent out of the Jade Qing Sect by Wu Changsheng and others with expressions of satisfaction on their faces. This time, they came to the door aggressively. I'm afraid no one thought at the time that it would be such a successful result in the end, and both parties got what they wanted.
In fact, although the news that Zhenjun Ziyang and others came to visit was not widely publicized, many sects were paying attention to it. After all, as the influence of Yuqing Sect expands, these five sects are not the only ones affected.
Many third-rate sects are paying attention to this matter, and it can even be said that they are looking forward to the five sects joining forces to suppress the Yuqing Sect and bring justice to their own small sects. However, what they didn't expect was that when Zhenjun Ziyang and others came out of the Yuqing Sect, the Five Sects and the Yuqing Sect did not become at war with each other. Instead, they seemed to be closer than before.
This is strange. Could it be that the Yuqing Sect really made concessions under the pressure of the five sects? So, what benefits can small sects like myself get from it? After all, the five sects are powerful enough, but even if these small sects unite, they would not dare to challenge the Yuqing Sect head-on.
Fortunately, cats have cat ways and mice have rat ways. These small sects and sects quickly found out about the transaction between Yuqing Sect and Five Sects through various channels. But rail transit? Merit? Spiritual rice? All these things made them confused.
However, not long after, one of the questions of this small sect was solved, that is, they knew what spiritual rice was.
The Yuqing Sect used the spiritual rice as a bargaining chip to make a deal with the five sects, and then used a thousand-mile message to notify the Tianbao Sect. After all, the two parties are partners in spiritual rice. Although Ye Zan is somewhat dissatisfied with some of Tianbaozong's actions, who said this world is like this. In other words, from the moral perspective of this world, although the things Tianbao Sect did were a bit unfair, they would not be subject to any moral condemnation.
Of course, after receiving the news from Yuqing Sect, Tianbao Sect also knew that Yuqing Sect was somewhat dissatisfied with their actions. As a result, Tianbao Sect finally officially began to use the channels it controlled to make this spiritual rice officially debut in the Shenhua Realm.
This incident immediately caused a huge sensation in the entire Shenhua Domain. Even the impact of the catastrophe thousands of years ago was probably incomparable. You know, for thousands of years, the cultivators in the entire Shenhua Realm have been troubled by the deterioration of the environment, and some people even shouted about the Age of Ending Dharma.
In order to cope with the deterioration of the environment, monks have become increasingly dependent on elixirs. Although it is not impossible to practice without the assistance of elixirs, it is certain that there will be almost no achievements. After all, human lifespan is very short. Only by constantly breaking through the realm can one continue to increase his lifespan. Otherwise, he will die of old age before he can achieve anything.
Relying on the assistance of elixirs will, on the one hand, greatly increase the cost of cultivation, and on the other hand, you will have to bear the consequences of the elixirs affecting your qualifications. For example, Qi Qianjun, who originally had a good and flawless Taoist body, ended up losing such top-notch qualifications because of the use of pills to assist his cultivation.
In fact, it was fortunate that Qi Qianjun had an accident. After Ye Zan arrived, the Yuqing Sect had the best elixirs, and he began to step from the foundation building realm to the golden elixir realm, so his qualifications were not completely abolished. If we say that Qi Qianjun did not have any accidents, he practiced step by step all the way. I'm afraid that by the time Ye Zan arrives, even if he can reach the Nascent Soul realm, his qualifications will have long been lost to everyone.
But now, suddenly someone said that a kind of food has appeared that can replace those pills that assist cultivation. As long as you can eat three meals a day normally, you can get enough spiritual energy for cultivation. This is simply... people will almost think it is a scam. However, this news was sent by Tianbao Sect. Based on Tianbao Sect's status in the Shenhua Realm, it can make this news a little more credible.
This is one of the reasons why Ye Zan chose to cooperate with Tianbao Sect.
It is conceivable that this news was released by Yu Qingzong. Even though the current Yuqing Sect is no longer the third-rate sect it once was, its reputation in the Shenhua Domain cannot be compared with that of the Tianbao Sect, which has been operating for so many years. Therefore, just to win people's trust, the Yuqing Sect had to put in a lot of effort, making the promotion of spiritual rice very difficult.
Moreover, even if it is the news sent by Tianbao Sect, many people are still skeptical about the news. Fortunately, Tianbao Sect has been doing business for so many years and has already anticipated this situation, so it organized a trade fair-like conference specifically for the promotion of this spiritual rice.
The Yuqing Sect also received an invitation from the Tianbao Sect, but Ye Zan was not interested in it.
Ye Zan is still worrying about how to quickly obtain more merit.
Although the promotion of spiritual rice has begun, after all, he has advanced a large part of the merit in advance. Therefore, if you want to obtain merit from spiritual rice in the future, you may not be able to get less merit, but the absolute speed will be very slow.
As for the rail transit in Datang, a north-south trunk line has just been built, and it has not been officially completed and opened to traffic. Even if it is opened to traffic, he will not get much merit immediately from this alone. He will have to wait until the scope of rail transit gradually expands in the future.
Moreover, the construction of this rail transit is really troublesome and will definitely be a very long project.
Is there anything else that can help me gain more merit? Ye Zan sat in his yard, rocking the rocking chair slowly, looking at the sky with a sad face.
At this moment, with a burst of childish singing coming from far and near, a small figure covered the sky above Ye Zan's head and rushed towards him with the whistling wind. This figure is naturally that little lolita Ye Linglong, and since she is here, Ye Batian must be beside her.
Ye Zan stretched out his hand to hug the little Loli and turned to look to the side. Sure enough, he saw the little bully, Ye Batian, carrying a stone tablet on his back and stealing the spiritual fruit on the stone table next to him. When Ye Zan looked over, the little bully didn't panic at all. A cloud of mist rose up on his head, forming a somewhat flattering smile. This smiling face was included in the text message emoticon package of Qianli Transmission. After seeing it on Qianli Transmission, this little boss used it to express his feelings.
"Dad, why are you unhappy? Someone has come to sue Linglong again." The little Loli lay on Ye Zan's chest, raising her head and looking at Ye Zan pitifully, as if she had been wronged a lot.
This little thing, who hasn't done anything well yet, looks aggrieved now, and he doesn't know who he learned this from. Ye Zan shook his head helplessly, held the little Loli's hand, touched the little Loli's head from behind, and said, "No, Linglong is so cute, who would come to complain about Linglong's condition?"
Hearing the praise of her cuteness, the little loli's big eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons with laughter. She even rubbed her face against Ye Zan's chest and said, "Then why does daddy seem unhappy? Who is causing this?" Is daddy angry? Tell Linglong, and Linglong will help daddy to vent his anger!"
"You, just don't be angry with me." Ye Zan stroked the little Loli's hair lovingly, and then asked: "At this time, shouldn't you be learning from Uncle Jing? Why did you run back with Xiaotian? "
Although this little Lolita and Xiaobaxia both have true dragon blood, they are still considered a branch of monsters after all, so their cultivation is naturally different from that of humans. In the Yuqing Sect, the only ones who could teach the two of them were the four great demon kings. Fortunately, the four great demon kings were also interested in the true dragon blood of the two of them, so they wanted to form a good relationship, so they did not reject Ye Zan's request.
Of course, if those four great demon kings really wanted to teach them any techniques or the like, they couldn't actually teach them anything. For the demon clan, cultivation is more of an instinct, and there are very few dedicated demon clan techniques. Therefore, the cultivation methods of Xiao Loli and Xiao Ba are actually many times more advanced than those of these four demon kings. After all, with the true dragon blood there, even if he just swallowed the so-called sun essence and moonlight every day, his cultivation efficiency would not be comparable to that of the four great demon kings.
However, just practicing is not enough. To gain power, you also need to know how to use it. The four big demon kings taught Xiao Loli and Xiao Ba mainly how to use their own powers, not only what spells they used, but also various experiences when actually facing the enemy.
Under the guidance of the four great demon kings, Xiao Loli and Xiao Baxia were already good at it, so the improvement in their strength was naturally like flying swords. And, more importantly, in the Yuqing Sect, there is a training artifact like the Virtual God Realm. In the Virtual God Realm, little Loli and Xiao Ba can completely hone their skills without any scruples.
"Uncle Jing said that he has nothing to teach us anymore. He said that the only thing we lack now is our cultivation. Aren't Xiaotian and I very powerful, daddy!" Little Loli said, raising her head again and making a quick move. Come and compliment me on my appearance.
"Really, my Linglong and Xiaotian are so powerful that Uncle Jing has nothing to teach them!" Ye Zan cooperated and pretended to be surprised, and then said: "Daddy will give you a reward and take you to play. Is it a good time to play?”
Of course, the playground Ye Zan mentioned is the playground in the Virtual God Realm. Although Xiao Loli and Xiao Baxia could often go to the amusement park in the Virtual God Realm, they still cheered happily when they heard that Ye Zan was taking them there.
