Three years passed by in a flash.
Three years is not a long time even for ordinary mortals, but it is a blink of an eye for a cultivator. However, these three years are not in vain. Whether from the standpoint of a secular mortal or from the perspective of a monk, the changes in the past three years can be clearly felt.
Let’s talk about the Yuqing Sect first. After Ye Zan practiced the method of avatar, he began to retreat to recover the lost soul.
Ye Zan's "retreat" was not a dead retreat. During this period, he came out of retreat to refine several furnaces of elixirs, including the Tiangang Refining Spirit Pill. Although the five clones he cultivated could help the original body share many things, due to the lack of power in the original spirit, the original body still had to do the refining of the elixir.
Under the influence of the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill, and the assistance of the spiritual energy in the Virtual God Realm, Ye Zan's true self finally returned to the state before practicing the method of clones after three years of seclusion. Don't think that returning to the previous state means there is no progress. Don't forget that he still has five clones.
Although the five clones have been doing other things for Ye Zan, they have not completely given up on their respective cultivation.
In terms of cultivation, in addition to refining their own wishful transformations, the five clones also invested a lot of energy in the recovery of the soul. However, compared with the original body, the clone's spiritual foundation is too weak, and he does not have time to practice in the virtual god world for a long time, so he can only rely on the power of Tiangang's divine pill.
Therefore, after three years of practice, the five clones' respective "spirits" have only recovered to half of the original body.
However, don't underestimate this "half". This is the level reached by each of the five clones. If Ye Zan takes back the soul of the five clones at this time, it will be equivalent to his soul being instantly strengthened by more than twice.
Of course, if it is not absolutely necessary, Ye Zan does not intend to take back the soul of the clone. After all, the purpose of practicing this clone method is to increase the number of trustworthy manpower and to leave a way to save one's life. Although it is also one of the benefits of the clone method to practice in one's own body and then merge it together, it is relatively a bit neglectful.
In addition, among the five clones, the one responsible for researching divine substances has been considered successful in its research in three years. Although Ye Zan did not fully understand and master the so-called method of becoming a god in the outside world, he still figured out something from it. Moreover, the clone also tried to practice according to what he found out and achieved some achievements.
However, the method of becoming a god in the outer world is not a quick magic skill, it also requires a lot of time and energy. Therefore, it is impossible for Ye Zan's clone to cultivate to the level of two bone claws in just three years. The clone's current achievement is to the extent of throwing a small fireball or a small ice pick without relying on Taoism.
Let's talk about the other clones, the clone responsible for researching bone tools, and the clone responsible for researching teleportation array technology, each of which has also made a lot of achievements.
In the research of bone tools, Ye Zan successfully cloned several so-called ferocious beasts by extracting genes from bone fragments, and also enriched the gene pool of the Zerg Queen. As for the production and use of bone tools, they probably require the blood of the Witch Clan, so the research progress is not very great. At most, they can make bone magic tools.
The technology of the teleportation circle is not too difficult. After all, Ye Zan got the complete inheritance information of the teleportation circle from Ye Ping'an.
After fully mastering the technology of the teleportation array, Ye Zan's clone did not sit idle. Instead, in the past three years, he traveled through all the teleportation arrays known in the Shenhua Domain. However, Ye Zan did not take away the teleportation arrays. Instead, after obtaining the "highest authority", he still left the teleportation arrays in place.
One more thing to say here is that when Ye Zan dealt with "Tianyu Daozu", he found out the locations of many teleportation circles from the opponent. However, are there only teleportation circles in the Shenhua Domain? In other words, does "Tianyu Daozu" control all the teleportation arrays in the Shenhua Domain? No one can be sure of this.
Ye Zan's clone ran through all the known teleportation circles in the past three years, but could not find any teleportation circle connected to the outside world. As for not taking away those teleportation arrays, it was because he planned to make those teleportation arrays available to the cultivators in the Shenhua Domain to facilitate communication between cultivators from all over the world.
You must know that although the Shenhua Realm is only a realm and is not the largest among several major realms, the land area is still vast and boundless. Therefore, if the various monastic sects in the Shenhua Domain are relatively far apart and there are no major events, they may not have any contact with each other for hundreds of years.
Only when people move around each other more will the relationship become closer, otherwise even the closest relationship will easily fade away. Taoists are also human beings, and Taoism cannot be practiced behind closed doors. Otherwise, how can we start talking about the "couple" in "Earth, Dharma, and Money".
Therefore, no matter what, allowing the various sects to communicate more conveniently is also a very beneficial measure for the cultivation environment of the entire Shenhua Realm.
Of course, Ye Zan is not a selfless person, and he also considers the interests of the Yuqing Sect by opening the teleportation circle to various sects. This benefit does not mean "selling tickets" and using the teleportation circle to charge usage fees. The profit is not something he will notice.
In Ye Zan's view, Yuqing Sect now has no shortage of "materials", but it is still far behind in terms of reputation.
Originally, after Xuanyuan Daozu appeared, according to the division of sects in the Shenhua Domain, Yuqing Sect should have been regarded as a top sect. However, Daozu Xuanyuan only showed his face and then ran away to the outer world. Yuqing Sect still only had the Yuanshen realm in charge. Although this does not mean that Yuqing Sect can still only be regarded as a second-rate sect, it is indeed difficult to compare with the top sects.
Especially in terms of prestige, those top sects are considered top not entirely because of the presence of Supreme Tongtian. Another very important reason is that the name of Tongtian Supreme will bring a very high reputation to the sect.
To put it bluntly, there are only a handful of Tongtian Supremes in the entire Shenhua Realm. Almost everyone knows the names of several Tongtian Supremes, and then knows the sect where Tongtian Supreme is located. This is reputation, not only the reputation of Tongtian Supreme, but also the reputation of the top sect where it belongs, allowing more people to know and fear it.
If it were the realm of Yuanshen, who would have the heart to understand how many powerful Yuanshen there are in the entire Shenhua Realm, and then learn about those sects with powerful Yuanshen? I am afraid that only people like Bai Xiaosheng in the monastic world would be interested in these things. For more "lay people", it is enough to know which people or sects around them cannot be messed with.
And today's Yuqing Sect, due to Xuanyuan Daozu, can theoretically be regarded as a top sect. However, compared with the real top sects, I am afraid that few people outside the northwest area of the domain will know about the Yuqing Sect.
Some people may think that reputation is nothing but fame, something that only those who love vanity will pay attention to. Since Ye Zan is a pragmatist, why should he care about this vanity? Why should he make the Yuqing Sect a veritable top sect!
However, although reputation is something that cannot be seen or touched, you would be completely wrong to say that it is really useless.
To give the most straightforward example: Everyone knows that the Great Freedom Sect is the top sect. Although this top sect is not as crowded and powerful as other sects, there are few people in the domain who have never heard of its name. When Lin Mumu arrived at a place and faced a person or sect who was stronger than himself, there might be a conflict between the two parties. At this time, Lin Mumu used the name of the Great Freedom Sect, and others also knew the terror of the Great Freedom Sect, so maybe the matter would fade away.
If no one knows about the Great Freedom Sect, they don’t know that the Great Freedom Sect is a top-notch sect with the Supreme Being Tongtian sitting in the sect. After Lin Mumu signed up for his number with the other party, he heard that the other party was a sect that he had never heard of before. So what was there to worry about? Of course, he had to get rid of his hatred first. Even if Da Zi Zaizong came to find him afterwards and the other party realized that he couldn't afford to offend him, it was already too late.
This may make some people feel that they are bullying others, just like the so-called "who is my dad?" But in fact, when there is a conflict between monks, except for those who attack secretly and play dirty tricks, it is normal for both parties to report to each other face to face. In addition to being afraid of offending someone who is not easy to mess with, sometimes he is also afraid that his own family members will beat his own family members. After all, the relationship between various sects is quite complicated.
All in all, reputation is not completely useless. In many cases, just like the example given, it will become a talisman for the disciples of the sect. Only in rare cases, the other party may be too crazy, or the conflict is not so easy to resolve, can it become a life-threatening talisman.
Therefore, Ye Zan hopes that by opening the teleportation circle, he can provide such a benefit opportunity to the cultivators in the realm to enhance the reputation of Yuqing Sect.
Just imagine, those teleportation arrays are spread all over the Shenhua Realm. When people use the teleportation arrays, they will know about the Yuqing Sect. After knowing Yuqing Sect, it is inevitable to know about Yuqing Sect. It is easy to search for any information on the Internet. How can we not find out how "awesome" Yuqing Sect is
Yes, Taoist Xuanyuan of the Yuqing Sect has gone to the outer world, but the Yuqing Sect still has so many allies. Then, if you meet the disciples of Yuqing Sect again and think of the information about Yuqing Sect, who can not give some face
Some people may say that they have traveled thousands of miles to convey their gods, so why don’t they still understand the Yuqing Sect and rely on the open teleportation circle to increase their reputation
The problem is that whether it is a network that can travel thousands of miles to convey God, or a network that can convey God a thousand miles, it has become a part of the life of a monk, which means "ordinary". How many people will become interested in a mobile phone manufacturer because of the mobile phone they use, and want to know about their stock, financial strength, etc.
The teleportation circle is very rare in this world, and it is not something that ordinary people or sects can master. The Yuqing Sect's ability to master the teleportation array is quite a big deal in the Shenhua Realm, not to mention the "great righteousness" of being open to everyone to use. A sect that masters teleportation circles, not just one or two, but a teleportation network all over the domain, I am afraid no one will think of it as a soft persimmon.
In addition to the matter of the teleportation circle, Ye Zan's clone who studied the teleportation circle also conducted a very comprehensive and detailed analysis and research on the small teleportation circle obtained from the Moyi Cult. Regarding the shortcomings of the small teleportation circle, Ye Zan found some reasons, but it was not possible to completely solve those shortcomings in a short time, so he could only put them aside for the time being.
After talking about Ye Zan, let’s talk about the Yuqing Sect. There have been many changes in the past three years. The biggest change is that Wu Changsheng and others have been promoted to the Yuanshen realm.
Wu Changsheng, Jin Dasheng, and Luo Jinniang, these three are all veterans of the Yuqing Sect, and they have already reached their limit when they were promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm. If there were no accidents and they practiced step by step, even if the three of them practiced until death, there would be no way they could step into the realm of the soul.
However, during the past three years, Ye Zan started refining several furnaces of elixirs. In addition to the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill, there was also another elixir recovered from the remaining recipes. The elixir is called Huandao Gathering Pill, and it is specifically designed to help people break through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Yuanshen Realm. It can manifest their own Dao and Gather the Soul for the user, and it does not require any overdraft.
Of course, nothing in the world is perfect. You have to pay for what you get. If you don’t pay here, you have to pay there. The reason why this Tao Transformation and God Gathering Pill has such a magical effect, but does not require the user to pay any price, is because the price has already been paid when refining the pill.
On the one hand, the herbs required for the Dao Transformation and God-Gathering Pill are all very rare treasures of heaven and earth. Regardless of the level of the elixir, this Dao-Transforming God-Gathering Pill is only at the Yuanying or Yuanshen level, and seems to be far inferior to the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill at the Dharma-level level. But in fact, in terms of the value of the herbs required, the cost of refining the Dao-Transforming God-Gathering Pill far exceeds the need for Tiangang's God-Refining Pill.
On the other hand, when refining the elixir, the alchemist needs to inject the power of the Tao into the elixir, and this is also the key to "transforming the Tao". To put it bluntly, those who take the elixir can use the power of the elixir to condense their own avenue, which is the seed of the power of the avenue injected by the alchemist. Without that seed, the elixir would not be able to transform Tao at all, nor would it be able to help people condense their souls. Of course, it would not be possible to refine the elixir at all.
In fact, from this point of view, there should be some shadow of the demonic path in this Dao-Transforming God-Gathering Pill. If the power of the avenue that needs to be injected is replaced by the plundered souls of other people, then the final result will be the same. However, using other people's soul as medicine is definitely a method that only the devil dares to use, and even not many people in the devil dare to use it.
Fortunately, Ye Zan, because he cultivates the way of true knowledge and knows a lot about many avenues, can inject corresponding avenue seeds into Wu Changsheng and others according to their characteristics.
