Chapter 2174: The First Dao Fruit in Ancient and Modern Times

“Gong Yangzi!”

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly and put the matter behind him for the time being.

It was not surprising for him that Huayang Ancestral Temple would send someone over.

But from this incident, Shen Changqing was able to conclude one thing, that is, the Huayang Ancestral Temple must be searching for something.

otherwise.

It is difficult to explain why Gong Yangzi secretly used his spiritual power to investigate me as soon as they met.

The other party thought he didn’t notice it, but in fact Shen Changqing saw it all, but just didn’t expose it.

but.

Why would the other party want to investigate a casual cultivator?

Think about it.

Shen Changqing only thought of one possibility.

That is, Gong Yangzi was not investigating the independent cultivators, but wanted to find himself.

“really!”

“Huayang Ancestral Temple did not stay out of this either.”

“It seems that the other forces are probably about the same!”

Shen Changqing pondered.

He had offended the Demon Lord and many forces in the dark camp, and was not tolerated by the two major camps. In addition, he had many inheritances and treasures on him, which would tempt even the God.

In the past, he barely belonged to the Netherworld camp, so it was difficult for the Huayang Ancestral Temple and other forces to take direct action.

now.

That gave them enough reason.

then.

To be on the safe side, Shen Changqing also asked Duan Jing to secretly keep an eye on some movements in the Nine Provinces and Eight Wildernesses.

Although Hongshan City is located in the ancient wilderness, the cultivators who come to Hongshan City are not only from the ancient wilderness, and the forces of the independent cultivators are also complicated. It is not difficult to find out some information.

It only took a few days.

Duan Jing completed what Shen Changqing asked him to do.

“It is said that the four great dynasties and the major ancestral temples are all secretly searching for something. According to the news, they are not looking for some inherited secret skills or treasures, but a cultivator.”

“Which monk?”

“Tianzong Sect Master Shen Changqing!”

Duan Jing said in a deep voice.

When he mentioned this name, awe could not help showing on his face.

Shen Changqing, the leader of Tianzong.

This name is also well-known in ancient wilderness.

No.

To be precise.

The other party’s reputation is unique.

Even the mighty gods and emperors of overlord-level forces such as the Huayang Ancestral Temple and the Tiangang Ancestral Temple seemed inferior in front of him.

It was because hundreds of years ago, Shen Changqing killed many powerful people from the dark camp in the Nine Cities of Ancient Wilderness, and then killed many gods and emperors in the heavens. More importantly, the other party was just a Dao Fruit cultivator.

Daoguo killed the Divine Emperor like an ant.

Throughout history, only one person has been able to do it.

Seeing Shen Changqing fall into silence, Duan Jing couldn’t help but say: “The city lord must not know who Shen Changqing is. This person comes from the heavens and is the leader of a faction called Tianzong.

It is rumored that although this person is a Dao Fruit, his combat power is extremely powerful. He kills powerful God Emperors like ants. He can be called the number one Dao Fruit person in ancient and modern times.

What’s worse, there are rumors among the gods that if this person does not die unexpectedly in the future, he will definitely be able to achieve immortality…”

“How could I not have heard of Shen Changqing? I just didn’t expect that all the major forces were searching for him. As far as I know, this person belongs to the heavens, so he should be in the same camp as the major ancestral temples!”

Shen Changqing smiled faintly, as if the person the other party was bragging about was not him at all.

Duan Jing was speechless: “You may not know, but that Sect Master Shen killed many powerful men in the heavens, and I heard that he also offended the Lord of the Black Demon Clan in the heavens, and he has long been disliked by the Lord of the Heavens.”

“I see!”

Shen Changqing nodded.

Then.

He just shook his head and said, “Well, whether it’s the Tianzong Sect Master or the two major camps, they are not something that Hongshan City can interfere with, so we can just keep this matter to ourselves.

If other monks with ulterior motives heard it, it would only cause more trouble.”

“I will not say much outside!”

Duan Jing’s expression also changed slightly and he responded hurriedly.

At the moment, there were only him and Shen Changqing in the lobby, but Duan Jing didn’t dare to say anything more.

Just as Shen Changqing said, whether it is the leader of the Tianzong or the two major camps, these topics are too sensitive.

If it were to be leaked out by accident, I might get into trouble.

Shen Changqing changed the subject: “How is the formation of the Hongshan Army going now?”

Originally, he had no intention of interfering in the affairs of Hongshan City, but now that he has come out of seclusion, he still has to inquire about the affairs of Hongshan City.

Duan Jing said: “The 100,000-man Red Mountain Army has been formed. As for the salary, I have tentatively decided that the God King will receive one medium-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone per year, and the God Lord will receive ten medium-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.

However, regarding the inheritance of the secret skills, I have not yet made up my mind, so I ask the city lord to make the decision!”

One medium-grade netherworld spirit stone per year!
Ten medium-grade netherworld spirit stones per year!
This salary.

It is considered to be quite generous.

After all, if converted into divine crystals, the God King would get 10,000 divine crystals a year, and the God Lord would get 100,000 divine crystals a year. If ten thousand years is used as the unit, then that would be 100 million divine crystals and 1 billion divine crystals.

Take the God King of Heaven and Earth for example. Ten years of faith condenses one God Crystal of Heaven and Earth, which is equivalent to more than five thousand ordinary God Crystals.

If you join the Hongshan Army now, you can get 100,000 divine crystals in ten years. You can imagine the treatment.

Although the Netherworld is not dominated by divine crystals, Netherworld Spirit Stones are equally precious, so a medium-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone is already quite good.

One hundred thousand Hongshan troops.

After a year.

A conservative estimate is that the consumption is around 100,000 medium-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones, or ten top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.

In fact.

This is just a minimum estimate.

After all, it is impossible that all the 100,000 Red Mountain Army members are God Kings. If they were God Lords, the Netherworld Spirit Stones would have to be multiplied several times.

If it were an ordinary sect, it would naturally not be able to support so many monks.

but.

Hongshan City is not a big problem.

After all, even the annual profit of the Hongling Chamber of Commerce is more than just ten top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.

so.

One Hongling Chamber of Commerce is more than enough to support an army of 100,000 monks.

Not to mention taxes and other income.

If all of them were counted, Hongshan City would be able to support not only a hundred thousand cultivators, but even a million cultivators.

One more thing.

These monks are not kept for free, but to create profits, such as going out to hunt underworld beasts, searching for natural treasures, and other things.

Overall.

The final cost for Hongshan City was actually not that much, on the contrary there was even a surplus.

“In terms of inheritance, all cultivators who join the Red Mountain Army, if they are God Kings, will be able to inherit a top-notch God King secret technique, but they must sign a contract to serve Red Mountain City for ten thousand years.

If you leave without permission within ten thousand years, you must pay back double the value of the unique skill.

As for the God Lord, he will teach them his unique skills according to their current realm. Those who are below the sixth level of God Lord will be given the later stage of God Lord inheritance, and those who are above the seventh level of God Lord will be given the top level of God Lord inheritance.

As a price, they need to serve the Red Mountain Army for 100,000 years. If they leave within 100,000 years, the price will be the same as that of the God King. “

“In addition, we will set up merit points. Anyone who has made contributions to Hongshan City will receive corresponding merit points. If a certain number of merit points are collected, they can be exchanged for a higher level of inheritance.

Even if it is the inheritance of a God, I can give it to them!”

Shen Changqing briefly talked about his views. This was the general idea, but how to implement it would be left to Duan Jing.

After all, the other party once ran a Hongling Market, so he is quite experienced in this area.

As expected.

After hearing Shen Changqing’s words, Duan Jing pondered for a moment and had an idea in his mind.

“I obey your orders!”

He bowed.

In fact, before this, Duan Jing had some ideas of his own, but because it involved the inheritance of martial arts, he did not dare to make a decision on his own.

Now Shen Changqing’s words made the commander of the Hongshan Army completely put his mind at ease.

When Duan Jing went to deal with the affairs of the Hongshan Army, Shen Changqing went into seclusion again.

…

The secret room is empty.

Shen Changqing sat cross-legged.

The shadow of the sacred tree on the avenue above his head swayed, the extremely rich rules of Tao flowed, the blood-red sky river hung upside down, and the mighty river was filled with the breath of killing.

Shen Changqing closed his eyes and meditated. Many top-grade Netherworld spirit stones were arranged in the form of a formation. The tremendous energy gathered in his body, constantly strengthening his soul.

This method of refining the Netherworld Spirit Stone was developed later by Shen Changqing.

After all, refining it piece by piece is too slow.

If it is a small amount of Netherworld Spirit Stone, it is fine. But if the number is large, it will not be so fast to refine it.

so.

Shen Changqing refined it using the formation method.

This method is not only faster, but also prevents any energy from escaping, thus maximizing the effect of the Netherworld Spirit Stone.

A large amount of energy poured into his body, and Shen Changqing only felt that his soul seemed to be sublimated. All kinds of insights into the great Dao surged into his heart, causing the blood-colored sky river to shake violently.

While Shen Changqing was comprehending the great Dao of rules, the great Dao Jianmu in the cave seemed to have been nourished by energy, and its branches and leaves grew stronger and stronger.

Jianmu supports the sky.

The cave is slowly expanding.

Ever since Jianmu merged with the great sacred tree and turned into the Great Dao Jianmu, Shen Changqing’s strength has been growing every moment, but the growth rate is extremely slow.

But.

When Shen Changqing was refining the Netherworld Spirit Stone, the growth of the Great Dao Jianmu was much faster than usual.

According to his speculation, it is the energy contained in the Netherworld Spirit Stone that can serve as nourishment for the construction of the Great Dao.

In fact, it is not only the Netherworld Spirit Stone that can be like this. Even ordinary spirit stones can nourish the Great Dao Jianmu.

but–

Ordinary spiritual stones of heaven and earth are naturally not as precious as spiritual stones of the underworld.

After all, although ordinary spirit stones contain spiritual energy of heaven and earth, these spiritual energies of heaven and earth are not as mysterious as the Netherworld spiritual energy contained in the Netherworld spirit stones, which can directly temper the soul.

Strictly speaking.

In some ways, the spiritual energy of the underworld is a level higher than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Of course.

Everything has two sides.

The spiritual energy of the underworld can only temper the soul, while the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can temper the body. The two have different focuses, and their importance in different aspects is naturally different.
