Chapter 351: There Is No Free Lunch in the World
Therefore, the matter of changing the name of the Taoist Palace to the Yuqing Taoist Palace seemed quite hasty, but it was settled irresistibly by anyone.
Although, whether it is the Taoist Palace or the Freemasonry, not all the Yuanying Patriarchs came to the Tongtian Pagoda this time. These people who came here were not able to completely make such a big decision for their own side.
But everyone knew that unless Ye Zan changed his mind, it would be difficult for anyone to come. After all, among them, there is no one who can compete with Ye Zan, not even those seniors who have been hidden for many years.
What's more, those seniors who have lived in seclusion for many years, why would they choose to remain in seclusion? Isn't it just to break through the shackles and go one step further! But now, this opportunity came, would they be willing to give up this opportunity, even risk their own lives, in order to defend the name of Dao Palace?
Of course, there must be opponents, but it is absolutely impossible to make waves. After all, when they opposed this change, what they first harmed was not the interests of Ye Zan and Yu Qingzong, but the interests of those who wanted to leave this world, even their own interests.
You must know that the change of this Dao Palace into Yuqing Dao Palace was not for nothing. Ye Zan had already promised that he would teach them the orthodox exercises of Yuqingzong. In addition to the exercises, there are alchemy refining tools, formations and talismans and other inheritances, all of which can be practiced by Yuqing Taoist Palace.
In fact, if he wasn't too lazy to waste time, Ye Zan could build a new Yuqing Taoist Palace and put these things there, and anyone who wants to learn can join the Yuqing Taoist Palace. If that's the case, I believe it won't take long to empty out the current Dao Palace, and there is no problem of changing the name.
However, in Ye Zan's view, there was no need to go through all that trouble, he could be killed with a single slap, so what kind of conspiracy was there. He also believed that even if the people in the Dao Palace were resistant to this matter, once they enjoyed those benefits, they might not be able to drive them away.
Ye Zan didn't intend to do all the things about Yuqing Taoist Palace himself, but directly took out a protocol and handed it over to Cheng Liangqi and others. Ye Zan told Cheng Liangqi that this is an assessment for them, as long as they finish this matter well, they will definitely have the quota.
Cheng Liangqi took over the thick documents with a rather complicated expression on his face. Even if he has already figured it out, the Taoist Palace that has been passed down for thousands of years will suddenly be renamed Yuqing Taoist Palace, and there will always be some emotion in his heart.
Looking at the expressions of Cheng Liangqi and the people in the Daoist Palace, Ye Zan suddenly remembered what Qiao Ronghua said before, and was immediately inspired, so he said to Cheng Liangqi and others: "I think the name change of the Daoist Palace should be called 'rectification of names'." ’, to change the name of the Daoist Palace to the Yuqing Daoist Palace, this is a matter of rectifying the source.”
Ye Zan's words were like Qiao Ronghua's "re-entering" Yu Qingzong before.
The same thing, another way of saying it, gives people a completely different feeling immediately. After all, people are not machines. In many cases, even if the benefits and losses are calculated very clearly, there will still be emotional impacts. To put it another way, it seems like taking off your pants and farting, but it can make the same thing easier to be accepted.
Those people in the Dao Palace might think that changing the name of the Dao Palace is like subjugating the country, and they themselves have become slaves to the country. However, to put it another way, if we get to the bottom of the matter, this is not the subjugation of the country, but the restoration of the country.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Zan's statement, even though everyone knew that it was just another way of saying it, they felt more or less relieved in their hearts.
After handing over the matter to Cheng Liangqi and others, Ye Zan returned to the Tongtian Tower with Xiaobaxia, and told Qiao Ronghua and others about the incident by the way.
Qiao Ronghua didn't need to climb the tower anymore, but the other ancestors of the Freemasonry still needed to start from the first floor. Therefore, Qiao Ronghua walked with them again, after all, he had some experience.
However, if you really want to talk about experience, Qiao Ronghua and others who have broken through the tower still have a little experience on the first floor. In the dream test of the second level, there is no experience at all, and the third level has never fought against Yazi.
To be honest, while Qiao Ronghua and others were surprised and excited when they heard the news, they were also somewhat depressed. After all, they have nothing to do, as long as they break through the third floor, they can get a place to leave this world. As a result, after doing this, they couldn't leave immediately, and had to go back to complete the transformation of the Dao Palace with Cheng Liangqi and others.
However, this is also a good thing for the Freemasons. Qiao Ronghua and the others came to the tower, wanting to get a place to leave this world, but they were also worried in their hearts. They didn't know how the Freemasonry would be suppressed by the Taoist Palace after they left. It's all right now, the two families merged into one family, and they both became members of Yuqing Dao Palace, which can be regarded as a solution to a worry about the future.
When Qiao Ronghua and others left, Ye Zan took out the fairy palace token and returned to the top floor of Tongtian Tower with a thought. However, he just accomplished a big event, but he didn't have much joy on his face, he didn't even bother to say hello to the brothers and sisters of the Lin family, so he went straight to Ta Lao.
"Little friend, what do you mean?" Old Ta asked with a puzzled expression.
"You didn't tell me that hitting people with this thing will cost you!" Ye Zan pointed to the merit tablet on the back of Xiaoba next to him, and said bitterly to Mr. Ta.
It turned out that despite Ye Zan's great display of power outside, killing nine Yuanying ancestors in an instant, there was a price behind it. The price is that the merit value on the merit tablet has dropped from more than three million to more than two million, and the merit value of nearly one million has disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Ye Zan originally thought that being able to have more than 7 million merit points was such an amazing thing, it was like becoming the richest man in the world. Who would have thought that half of the merit value would be lost if Xiaoba was asked to recite it. Fortunately, at least Xiaobaxia has grown up a bit, so he reluctantly accepted it. But then, killing the nine Yuanying patriarchs actually consumed nearly one million merit points, which he really couldn't accept.
"Well, the magic weapon still needs to consume mana, and this naturally has a price." Ta Lao said helplessly. Although Ye Zan didn't say what he wasted, how could he not know what Ye Zan was talking about.
"I understand the price, but the price is too exaggerated! When will that be so worthless? If it goes on like this, even if there are tens of millions of that, it won't be able to withstand such consumption!" Ye Zan said indignantly.
Of course Ye Zan understands that there is no free lunch in the world, and he has no plans to eat the overlord's meal. But the key is that the price should be fair, and you can't ask for it indiscriminately. As it is now, the merit value is simply inferior to inflationary banknotes. At this rate of consumption, what is the use of this merit monument!
"This..." Mr. Ta glanced at the others, waved his hands and propped up another barrier, wrapped himself and Ye Zan, and then said: "Little friend, how much merit this monument consumes is not up to the old man to decide." .Besides, it consumes so much, so there must be a reason for it.”
"It still makes sense? I think it's asking for a lot of money, and my merits are not brought by strong winds. Why should I consume so much at once!" Ye Zan asked very dissatisfied.
You know, Ye Zan can have these merits because of a communication revolution in the Shenhua domain with thousands of miles of sound transmission. This is not something that ordinary people can do, how many ancient immortals can do it? Could it be that the ancient immortals could get tens of millions of merits by just sneezing casually?
"What is the reason, I can only guess. You see, you are only in the Jindan realm, let alone dealing with nine people in the Nascent Soul realm, even one is impossible. Therefore..." Ta The old man explained to Ye Zan helplessly.
However, before Mr. Ta finished speaking, Ye Zan glared at him and said, "It's impossible to be one? If it's not that I don't know how tricky this merit tablet is, even if it's to deal with those nine, I have plenty of means." !"
What Ye Zan said was not boasting. Although with other means, he might not be able to deal with the nine Yuanying Patriarchs so happily, but it doesn't mean that he has to wait for death. Not to mention anything else, just the release of the Zerg Taoist soldiers is enough to deal with the nine people for a while. If some technological means were added, it would not be too difficult to kill those nine people.
"That's right, that's right, you are capable, you are very capable." Ta Lao nodded repeatedly, but then pointed to the merit tablet and said, "But it doesn't know!"
Ye Zan froze for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
"In it, you are a kid in the Golden Core Realm, not much different from other Golden Core Realm, no matter how strong you are, you can't compare to the Nascent Soul Realm, let alone the nine Nascent Soul Realm. So, in it, you What you let it do is something that you are absolutely impossible to do, and you will have to pay an extraordinary price. Do you understand?" Ta Lao said in a deep voice.
Although, Ta Lao said at the beginning that these are just his speculations, it is undoubtedly a very reliable explanation. After Ye Zan heard it, he thought about it carefully and had to admit that this explanation was indeed convincing enough.
If there is no such means, Ye Zan is a master of Jindan, even if he dominates in Jindan, it is still Jindan. The gap between Jindan Realm and Nascent Soul Realm is not a matter of taking a step up a step. In terms of understanding and mastering the Dao, it is definitely a gap between heaven and earth, just like an ant and an elephant.
With the help of the power of the monument of merit and virtue, Ye Zan instantly killed nine Yuanying ancestors, just like an ant instantly killed nine elephants. Then, the price that the ants need to pay for this is definitely not a matter of spending a little effort, and it is already very fortunate that they did not lose their lives. One must know that even if a Golden Core Grandmaster explodes his own Golden Core, he may not be able to kill one Yuanying Patriarch, let alone nine Yuanying Patriarchs.
"Well, it does make sense. It seems that this thing can't be used much!" Ye Zan could only sigh helplessly after thinking about it. The illusion of killing the world with this merit tablet seems to be shattered. In the future, I still have to rely on myself more often. This merit monument can be used as a trump card to suppress the bottom of the box.
Of course, the more important thing is to find a way to earn merit. Otherwise, the remaining two million merits will not be used as a trump card for a few times! Thinking of this, Ye Zan couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he had a plan before, and the plan was already in progress.
Ye Zan's plan is naturally to use this small world as a test site.
Ye Zan's need for merit cannot be satisfied by repairing bridges and roads and earning three melons and two dates. Just using the merit stele to kill the nine Yuanying patriarchs will consume nearly one million merits. It takes building many bridges and repairing multiple roads and helping many old ladies to cross the road to earn it.
Therefore, if Ye Zan wants to earn merit, he can only find a way through a method similar to thousands of miles of sound transmission, that is to say, using technology to affect human society. However, before pushing some technology to the Shenhua Domain, it is necessary to conduct experiments in this small world first, so as to avoid self-defeating and bad consequences.
In this small world, if there is any problem, Ye Zan still has enough ability to make up for it, but if there is a problem in the Shenhua Domain, it will cause big trouble.
"It's good for you to understand. Foreign things are foreign things after all, and you should cultivate yourself when you cultivate the Tao. You have a lot of fragments on your body along the way. How many layers have you made it up by your own ability? Fortunately, the last two layers, you still have Even if you wake up in time and you can persist in tempering yourself, otherwise the old man will not let you become the inheritor of the Taoist ancestor no matter what." Ta Lao said very seriously.
Since Ta Lao is the tool spirit of Tongtian Pagoda, he can clearly see everything that happened in the tower, but he didn't intervene due to some factors. Therefore, all the things that Ye Zan has done all the way here have already been noticed by Ta Lao. Therefore, if people don't want to know, unless they do nothing, Ye Zan thought he was doing it a secret, but he didn't expect the existence of Ta Lao.
Hearing Ta Lao's words, Ye Zan couldn't help but blush slightly, and said: "What you taught me is that I didn't know the situation at the beginning, and thought it was important to fight for the first place, so I used a little trick. After all , today is different from the past, and we are not here just for training.”
"Oh, that's all, in the blink of an eye, things are different, things are different!" Ta Lao looked lonely, waved away the surrounding barriers, and then said: "You should leave later."
Apparently, Ye Zan's words "today is different from the past", made Ta Lao feel nostalgic again, and immediately lost the interest to continue the conversation.
"Then I'll take my leave." Ye Zan cupped his hands and said.
Ta Lao didn't speak, and waved his hands at Ye Zan and the others, and everyone suddenly felt dizzy. When they saw their surroundings again, Ye Zan and the others found that they had left the tower and appeared in a palace. (To be continued.)
