Since this Dao Palace has been renamed Yuqing Dao Palace, the original title of Protector of the Country is naturally inappropriate, so these Yuan Ying ancestors have all become elders, both the elders of Yuqing Dao Palace and the elders of Yuqing Sect.
After more than a dozen elders from Yuqing Taoist Palace stood up, Ye Zan introduced them to Wu Changsheng one by one. When everyone was introduced, they kowtowed to Wu Changsheng again. After introducing these people from the Yuqing Dao Palace, Ye Zan introduced everyone from his Yuqing Sect to the people from the Yuqing Dao Palace. Naturally, the two sides kept greeting each other.
By the time the two parties had finished their greetings and had become acquainted with each other, Wu Changsheng, as the headmaster of Yuqing, naturally had to exchange a few words. Wu Changsheng stood up from the headmaster's position, suppressed the excitement in his heart, glanced at the faces of those in Yuqing Taoist Palace, and said: "Elders, fellow Taoists..."
What else can be said with this kind of speech? It is nothing more than to welcome the newcomers, talk about the long and glorious history of Yuqing Sect, and look forward to the future development after these newcomers join. The key is to do something about the welfare of the newcomers. Make some promises.
In short, as the head coach, Wu Changsheng is naturally very familiar with this routine. He stood there and spoke thousands of words, speaking so bluntly that some inexperienced guys trembled with excitement.
At the end of the talk, Wu Changsheng finally turned to practical matters and said to everyone in the Yuqing Taoist Palace: "I heard from Elder Ye that although the elders and the disciples of the Yuqing Taoist Palace have a close relationship with the Yuqing Sect, You have not practiced the orthodox techniques of the Yuqing Sect before. Now that you have joined our Yuqing Sect and are disciples of the Yuqing Sect, you naturally deserve to be inherited by my Yuqing Sect. Elder Cheng, please come forward. My Yuqing inheritance will be passed on to you, and then you will pass it on to other elders and people in this realm."
Hearing this, Cheng Liangqi and others felt ecstatic in their hearts.
In the view of Cheng Liangqi and others, the main reason why there is such a huge gap in strength between themselves and the outside cultivators at the same level is that the skills they practice are too poor. This technique is the foundation of a cultivator. Without a good set of techniques, no matter how high your qualifications are, it will be useless. If a person's qualifications are compared to the foundation of a building, it can determine the stability and maximum height of the building. So, the practice of cultivating Taoism is like the blueprint of this building. Without this blueprint, no matter how good the foundation is, it will be in vain.
The exercises practiced by the cultivators in this small world are all health-preserving exercises that were rewarded by the Taoist ancestor Xuanqing because the Taoist soldiers had made enough achievements outside. In other words, practicing these exercises is actually just to live a long life, and it is impossible to achieve much in the cultivation of Taoism. In other words, if these exercises are compared to architectural drawings, they are basically the drawings of the most ordinary small bungalow.
Fortunately, over the past ten thousand years, some talents have emerged in the small world, and they have modified these techniques to a certain extent, giving them the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul realm. Otherwise, just practicing those health-preserving techniques, I am afraid that they may not even be able to appear in the Golden Core Realm here.
Cheng Liangqi suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, walked up to the headmaster Wu Changsheng, bowed and saluted, and said: "Cheng Liangqi pays homage to the headmaster."
"Elder Cheng, there is no need to be polite." Wu Changsheng raised his hand to support him, then took out a set of classics from the Qiankun Ring and handed them to Cheng Liangqi, saying: "This set of exercises is the fundamental inheritance of our Yuqing Sect. , now passed down to fellow Taoist Cheng."
The so-called fundamental inheritance, on the one hand, means the origin, and on the other hand, it also means the foundation. To put it bluntly, this set of inherited exercises is considered a relatively popular exercise in Yuqing Sect, and its name is also very basic, it is called Yuqing Taoist Scripture.
Cheng Liangqi took the set of exercises with both hands, thanked Wu Changsheng again, and said sincerely: "Thank you so much, Master, for preaching. We will live up to Master's expectations, study it carefully, and practice hard, so that we can achieve success as soon as possible." , serve the sect.”
"What Elder Cheng said is all from our heart. Thank you Headmaster for preaching!" Everyone else in the Yuqing Taoist Palace also bowed down and thanked Headmaster Wu Changsheng in unison.
"Okay, okay, elders, please get up quickly. I understand the intentions of the elders. Please get up quickly." Wu Changsheng suppressed his smile and raised his hand to help everyone.
Cheng Liangqi returned to the team at Yuqing Taoist Palace, holding the set of exercises in his arms as if holding a peerless treasure. As for everyone else, although they were also very itchy, they also knew that now was not the time. They all looked at the headmaster Wu Changsheng intently, waiting for Wu Changsheng's next speech.
However, the technique was passed down, and Wu Changsheng didn't have much to say, so he just encouraged everyone and ended his speech.
Then, Ye Zan stood up again and said to Wu Changsheng and everyone in Yuqing Taoist Palace: "Headmaster and all the elders have prepared a banquet for this meeting. Please move to the banquet hall next."
So, under the guidance of Ye Zan, everyone moved again and came to the so-called banquet hall. This banquet hall is also designed according to the etiquette habits of this world. On the high platform in front is the main table, which is where the headmaster Wu Changsheng is. Under the high platform, there are two rows of tables on both sides, which are the seats of other people from the Yuqing Sect and the Yuqing Taoist Palace.
After everyone arrived at the banquet hall, they naturally went to their seats and knelt down behind the tables.
There were some fruits placed on those tables, but they were not spiritual fruits, just ordinary fruits. For a banquet of this level, they seemed a bit shabby. However, since it was Ye Zan who hosted the banquet, Wu Changsheng, as the leader, could not say anything, and the others just pretended not to see it.
Ye Zan also sat down in his seat, glanced at the people below, suddenly smiled, and said, "Everyone, do you have some doubts about putting such fruit on the table?"
Hearing Ye Zan take the initiative to mention it, Wu Changsheng finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked Ye Zan: "Elder Ye, do these fruits have any meaning?"
"Haha, it doesn't mean anything. These are just for display." Ye Zan smiled and gave a somewhat nonsensical answer.
Just to look good? After hearing Ye Zan's answer, everyone's doubts deepened.
In fact, although Ye Zan's answer sounded a bit joking, it was actually like that. It’s not that he couldn’t afford to display spiritual fruits. The reason why he only displayed ordinary fruits was because he didn’t want the spiritual fruits to steal the spotlight from today’s protagonist.
Who is the protagonist today? Do you still need to ask? It's neither the headmaster Wu Changsheng nor the people in Yuqing Taoist Palace, but the spiritual rice that Ye Zan created during this period.
Although the spiritual rice has a good spiritual energy content, it is only a crop that matures in half a year after all. The spiritual energy content is definitely not comparable to the real spiritual fruit. If you really get the spiritual fruit, after being baptized by the spiritual energy of the spiritual fruit, who would pay attention to the spiritual energy in the spiritual rice!
Seeing that everyone had doubts on their faces, Ye Zan turned his eyes to Liu Qian and said, "Elder Liu, didn't you ask me before about how to solve that problem?"
"Yes, yes." Liu Qian nodded.
"Then, Elder Liu will see how I solved this problem." Ye Zan said with a smile.
Then, without seeing Ye Zan make any move, he saw a row of boy-like machine puppets filing in from the door of the banquet hall, carrying trays. There weren't many things on the tray, just a bowl with a lid on it. No one could see what was in the bowl.
These machine puppets came to the neat queue, came to the tables of everyone, gently placed the bowls in the tray on the tables, and then quickly retreated.
This is a banquet! First there were ordinary fruits, and then there was a bowl of something for each person. Can this be considered a banquet
"Headmaster, everyone, please open the lid." Ye Zan said to everyone without being ashamed at all.
It’s time to reveal the mystery! Everyone seemed a little impatient, reaching out to open the lid of the bowl on the counter, and the contents of the bowl suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
I saw a few pieces in the bowl, the size of a baby's fist, with a snow-white color and crystal clear color. Under the light of the light, they looked like they were carved from white jade. More importantly, as cultivators, they can all feel the faint spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from that thing.
After all, those in the Yuqing Taoist Palace had participated in the cultivation of spiritual rice, and they had secretly tasted it themselves, so they immediately understood what was in the bowl. But Wu Changsheng and others had never seen this spiritual rice before, and it seemed quite strange at first glance.
"Elder Ye, what is this? It looks quite spiritual. Is it some kind of spiritual fruit?" Wu Changsheng asked Ye Zan curiously.
"Headmaster, let's taste it first before talking." As Ye Zan spoke, he picked up the chopsticks, gently pinched the bowl, and put a piece of crystal white rice into his mouth.
Seeing Ye Zan do this, others naturally stopped worrying about anything and began to taste the spiritual rice in their own bowls.
"Well, this thing is quite strange. It doesn't seem to have any other medicinal properties. It just contains good spiritual energy. It tastes soft and sweet, and it feels a bit like high-quality rice." Liu Qian is worthy of being a master of alchemy. He tasted it I tasted the characteristic of this spiritual rice, that is, it has no other medicinal properties, only pure spiritual energy.
You must know that in addition to containing spiritual energy, all wild spiritual grass and spiritual fruits have various medicinal properties. However, not all of those medicinal properties are beneficial to humans. In order to survive and reproduce, plants also have their own defense mechanisms. Some may not be absorbed by humans or animals, and some may be highly toxic. Therefore, it is necessary to match them with each other and then refine them using the method of alchemy, so that the medicinal properties interact with each other, and then you can obtain elixirs with various effects.
It can be said that no plants are born just for people to eat, except those cultivated by people themselves. For example, the grains and vegetables that mortals usually eat were not originally like this when they were wild. It was only after generations of selective cultivation by humans that they gradually became human food.
"Haha, Elder Liu guessed it right, this is indeed rice." Ye Zan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.
"Rice! Do you think this is rice?" Liu Qian just used rice as a comparison, but never thought that this thing could really be rice. What is rice? One of the most consumed food crops by mortals. But even the best rice is not a rare thing for ascetics. After all, eating it will only fill your stomach.
"Yes, this is rice, but it is a special kind of rice that I got in the Immortal Palace." Ye Zan followed his usual practice and blamed the origin of this spiritual rice on Xuanqing Daozu. Anyway, now only he can freely enter and leave the Immortal Palace, and no one can go to the Immortal Palace to verify the authenticity.
"Oh, this is actually a thing from the Immortal Palace!" Wu Changsheng said in great surprise.
Not only Wu Changsheng, but also those from the Yuqing Taoist Palace who were involved in planting the spiritual rice, this was the first time they heard Ye Zan talk about the origin of the spiritual rice, so they all seemed quite surprised. While they were surprised, they thought it was natural. After all, this spiritual rice was of great significance. How could anyone else except an immortal like Xuanqing Daozu make it.
Seeing that no one suspected it, Ye Zan continued to make it up and said, "Yes, I have visited all the areas within my authority in the Immortal Palace before and found this special rice, which I call spiritual rice. "
"Lingdao, this name is quite appropriate." Wu Changsheng nodded and said.
"Although this spiritual rice is similar to rice, it is not a mortal thing after all. Elder Ye said that the solution to the problem lies in this. Could it be that a method of planting it has been found?" Liu Qian is still concerned about the elixir problem of the Yuqing Sect. , so I immediately asked if this thing could be grown. What if, what we are eating now is the inventory of the Immortal Palace, what will we do after it is all eaten
Ye Zan smiled faintly, turned to look at the people in the Yuqing Taoist Palace, and said: "It is said that the Xuanqing Taoist ancestor favored my Yuqing Sect. I used the rice for breeding and found that rice seeds could be cultivated, so I let Yuqing do it." The elders of Qingdao Palace helped me plant these rice seeds. Unexpectedly, it only took six months for the rice to mature, and its efficacy has not changed. Now, this is the spiritual rice at the banquet. harvest.”
"Only six months? I wonder how much Elder Ye planted and how much he harvested?" Wu Changsheng asked another key question eagerly. As the leader of the Yuqing Sect, he is naturally very concerned about the issue of elixirs. Without enough elixirs, the development of the Yuqing Sect will be affected, which is something he absolutely does not want to see.
"Master, why don't you take a look for yourself." Ye Zan didn't say those numbers. Although the numbers were accurate, sometimes it was difficult for people to form a concept.
Following Ye Zan's words, a holographic image appeared in the middle of the banquet hall. This full-image image is playing the various spiritual rice planting bases in the small world. Each one is like an endless sea of rice, with ripples gently set off by the wind. Then, the harvest time came. With the comparison of people, the rice sea seemed even more huge, and people in it were like ants. Just like eating leaves, the spiritual rice is harvested layer by layer. The endless rice sea gradually shrinks, and at the same time, rice mountains continue to rise from the ground.
Wu Changsheng and others looked at the holographic image as if they were virgins, their faces flushed with excitement, and they were breathing heavily. (To be continued.)
