Chapter 399: The Shocking News
Introducing Lingdao to Wuzong, apart from using it as a bargaining chip, actually has another purpose, which is to vaguely remind Tianbaozong.
In this world, there is no such thing as protection of intellectual property rights. Although there are some similar customary rules, the rules are not as strict as the law after all. Moreover, the consequences of violating those rules vary from person to person. To put it bluntly, it depends on who is powerful, not who is reasonable.
Back then, when Ye Zan came up with a handheld game console, Tianbaozong studied the refining method by himself. It's just that Ye Zan didn't intend to manufacture the game console himself, so he simply gave the genuine refining method to Tianbaozong. But on the other hand, it was also Ye Zan who didn't have the capital at that time to pursue Tianbaozong's infringement, and in the end he could only collect five thousand spirit stones to settle the matter.
This time, in cooperation with Tianbao Sect to promote Lingdao, True Monarch Duobao has taken away the Lingdao seeds for some time, but there is no news about Lingdao outside. Ye Zan is almost certain that Tianbaozong has committed an old problem again, and must have secretly researched Lingdao seeds.
There is nothing to blame for this. If it were any sect, after obtaining such a batch of spiritual rice seeds, the first thing I would think of would be to figure out the mystery of it. In this world without awareness of intellectual property rights, this kind of behavior is not even a serious moral issue except for making the parties involved feel a little uncomfortable.
Of course, Ye Zan wasn't worried either. Tian Baozong's small trick, anyway, they couldn't figure out the secret of genetic modification. It's just that he handed over the spiritual rice seeds to Tianbaozong in order to spread the spiritual rice as soon as possible through Tianbaozong's channels, so naturally he couldn't just watch them procrastinate like this.
Coincidentally, Ye Zan thought of taking this opportunity to use the Lingdao as a bargaining chip in the Shenhua Domain, and let the Lingdao appear in the Shenhua Domain as a reminder to Tianbaozong.
Although Tianbaozong will officially promote and sell Lingdao seeds in the future, the five sects can also be purchased from Tianbaozong. However, this does not mean that Yu Qingzong is not qualified to use it as a bargaining chip. During the negotiations with Ziyang Zhenjun, Yu Qingzong made a promise that he would give Wuzong a certain discount on the price of spiritual rice seeds, and at the same time, he would have a certain priority in supply.
After all, the number of spiritual rice seeds is still relatively small. It is certain that the initial price will not be lower, and it is not something that can be bought with money. Therefore, Yu Qingzong's conditions are still very attractive to Wuzong. At least in exchange, what Yu Qingzong wants to get here is the quota to recruit disciples from their sphere of influence. In other words, although Yu Qingzong could no longer randomly recruit disciples from the sphere of influence of the five sects as before, as long as these quotas were used well, some talented disciples could still be recruited into the sect.
For Wu Zong, genius disciples are certainly important, but cultivating a genius disciple can actually be regarded as a risky investment.
No one can guarantee,
This day, the genius disciple can finally grow to the height that people expect, and maybe there will be an accident like Qi Qianjun in the middle, and the investment will be considered a waste of money. Even if there are no accidents, genius disciples are human beings after all, and their personalities vary greatly. Who can be sure that this genius disciple will finally devote all his strength to the sect wholeheartedly. There are also many geniuses in history who resolutely left the sect to pursue their own way after the sect could not help themselves to a higher level.
Therefore, Wu Zong lost some opportunities to recruit talented disciples in exchange for an opportunity to improve the strength of the entire sect. This should be regarded as a relatively cost-effective transaction.
In addition, Yu Qingzong also got another promise from Wuzong, that is, when the rail transit develops in their country in the future, they will provide some convenience for this matter, and may even send people to participate in some projects. After all, the five sects are also very tempted by merit. As long as this matter is verified by Yu Qingzong to a certain extent, they will never miss such an opportunity.
Ziyang Zhenjun, Fuyun Zhenren and others finally sent out the Yu Qingzong by Wu Changsheng and others with satisfied expressions on their faces. This time, they came to the door aggressively. I am afraid that no one thought at that time that there would be such a satisfactory result in the end, and both parties got what they wanted.
In fact, although the news that Zhenjun Ziyang and others came to him was not publicized, many sects paid attention to it. After all, with the expansion of Yuqingzong's influence, these five sects are not the only ones that are affected.
Many third-rate sects are paying attention to this matter, and it can even be said that they are looking forward to the joint efforts of the five sects to suppress Yu Qingzong and uphold justice for their own small sects. However, what they didn't expect was that when Ziyang Zhenjun and others came out of Yuqingzong, Wuzong and Yuqingzong didn't become tense, but they seemed to be closer than before.
This is strange, could it be said that Yu Qingzong really made concessions under the pressure of Wuzong? So, what benefits can these small sects of my own get from it? After all, the five sects of others are powerful enough, but even if these small sects and sects of my own united, they would not dare to challenge Yu Qingzong head-on.
Fortunately, the cat has its way, and the mouse has its way. These small sects and sects also quickly found out the content of the transaction between Yu Qingzong and Wuzong through various channels. But rail transit? merit? Spirit rice? All these things made them confused.
However, not long after, one of the questions of this small sect and sect was resolved, and that was knowing what Lingdao was.
Yu Qingzong used Lingdao as a bargaining chip to make a deal with Wuzong, and then notified Tianbaozong through voice transmission over thousands of miles. After all, the two parties are partners in Lingdao. Although Ye Zan is somewhat dissatisfied with some of Tianbaozong's actions, this is how the world is. In other words, from the moral point of view of this world, although what Tian Baozong did was a bit unfair, it is not worthy of any moral condemnation.
Of course, after receiving the news from Yuqingzong, Tianbaozong also knew that Yuqingzong was somewhat dissatisfied with their actions. As a result, Tianbaozong finally formally began to make this Lingdao officially appear in the Shenhua domain through the channels under his control.
This incident immediately caused an incomparably huge sensation in the entire Shenhua Domain, and even the impact of the catastrophe ten thousand years ago may not be comparable to it. You know, for thousands of years, the ascetics in the entire Shenhua domain have been troubled by the deterioration of the environment, and some people even shouted the saying of the end of the age.
In order to cope with the deterioration of the environment, ascetics are becoming more and more 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, a person's lifespan is very short, and only by constantly breaking through the realm can one continuously increase one's lifespan, otherwise one will die of old age before one has cultivated anything.
Relying on the assistance of elixir, on the one hand, will greatly increase the cost of cultivation, and on the other hand, it will bear the consequences of erysipelas affecting aptitude. For example, Qi Qianjun, who was originally a good and flawless Dao body, but because of the use of elixir to assist his cultivation, his top-notch aptitude has been declining all the way.
In fact, it was also fortunate that Qi Qianjun had an accident. After Ye Zan arrived, Yu Qingzong had the top-quality elixir, and he started to step from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm, so his aptitude was not completely abolished. If we say that Qi Qianjun did not have any accidents, but practiced step by step all the way. I'm afraid that after Ye Zan's arrival, even if he can reach the Nascent Soul realm, his aptitude will already be lost to everyone.
But now, someone suddenly said that there is a kind of food that can replace those pills that assist cultivation. As long as you can eat three meals a day, you can get enough spiritual energy for cultivation. This is simply... people will almost think it is a scam. It's just that this news was sent by Tianbaozong, and Tianbaozong's status in the Shenhua domain can make this news more credible.
This is also one of the reasons why Ye Zan chose to cooperate with Tianbaozong.
It is conceivable that if this news was released by Yu Qingzong. Even if the current Yuqing Sect is no longer the third-rate sect of the past, its reputation in the Shenhua Domain cannot be compared with that of the Tianbao Sect that has been in business for so many years. Therefore, just to win people's trust, Yu Qingzong had to put in a lot of effort, which made the promotion of Lingdao very difficult.
Moreover, even if it was the news from Tian Baozong, many people were skeptical about the news. Fortunately, Tianbaozong has been in business for so many years, and it has already expected this situation, so it has specially organized a trade fair-like conference for the promotion of this spiritual rice.
Yuqingzong also received an invitation from Tianbaozong, but Ye Zan was not interested in it.
Ye Zan is still worrying about how to quickly gain more merit.
Although the promotion of Lingdao has started, after all, he has prepaid a large part of his merits in advance. Therefore, in the future, if you want to gain merits from Lingdao, you may not have less, but the absolute speed will be very slow.
As for the rail transit in the Tang Dynasty, a north-south main line has just been built, and it has not yet been officially completed and opened to traffic. Even if it is opened to traffic, he will not get too much merit immediately from this alone, and 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 much more troublesome, and it will definitely be a very long project.
What else can I gain more merits? Ye Zan was sitting in his yard, slowly rocking the rocking chair, looking at the sky with a sad face.
At this moment, with a sound of childish singing from far to near, a small figure covered the sky above Ye Zan's head, and rushed over with the whistling sound of the wind. This figure is naturally Ye Linglong's little lolita, and since she is here, Ye Batian must be beside her.
Ye Zan stretched out his hand to hug the little loli, turned his head to look to the side, and sure enough, he saw Ye Batian, the little bully, carrying a stone tablet on his back, stealing the spiritual fruit on the stone table next to him. Seeing Ye Zan looking over, the little bully didn't panic at all, a cloud of mist rose from his head, and he formed a flattering smile. This smiling face is in the emoticon package of the short message in Qianli Transmission. After seeing it on Qianli Transmission, this little bully used it to express his feelings.
"Daddy, why are you unhappy? Has someone come to sue Linglong again?" Little Loli lay on Ye Zan's chest, raised her head and looked at Ye Zan pitifully, as if she had been wronged so much.
This little thing, he is still not doing well, so he made a face of grievance, and he didn't know who he learned from. Ye Zan shook his head helplessly, hugged the little Lolita's hand, touched the little Lolita's head from behind, and said, "No, Linglong is so cute, who will come to sue Linglong?"
Hearing that she was cute, the little Lolita's big eyes suddenly turned into crescents with a smile, and she even rubbed her face against Ye Zan's chest, and said, "Then why does Daddy seem unhappy? Who caused it?" Is Daddy angry? Tell Linglong, Linglong will help Daddy vent his anger!"
"You, just don't be mad at me." Ye Zan lovingly stroked the little loli's hair, and then asked: "At this moment, shouldn't you be learning from Uncle Jing, why did you run back with Xiaotian. "
Although this little loli and Xiaobaxia both have the blood of the real dragon, they are still considered to be one of the monsters after all, so their cultivation is naturally different from that of the human race. And in Yuqingzong, the only ones who could teach the two of them were the four great demon kings. Fortunately, the four big demon kings also took a fancy to the blood of the two of them, so they wanted to form a good relationship, so they didn't refuse Ye Zan's request.
Of course, if the four big demon kings really wanted to talk about exercises and the like, they couldn't actually teach them anything. For the Yaozu, cultivation is more of an instinct, and there are very few special skills for the Yaozu. Therefore, the cultivation methods of Little Lolita and Xiao Baxia are actually many times more advanced than these four big demon kings. After all, with the blood of the real dragon there, even if it is just the so-called daily essence and moonlight, the efficiency of cultivation is not comparable to that of the four great demon kings.
However, cultivation alone is not enough, one needs to know how to use it to gain power. The four big demon kings taught Xiao Loli and Xiaobaxia mainly how to use their own power, not only spells, but also various experiences in real confrontation with the enemy.
Under the guidance of the four big demon kings, Little Lolita and Xiaoba had a good foundation, and this improvement in strength is naturally like riding a flying sword. And, more importantly, in Yu Qingzong, there is such a training artifact as the False God Realm. Little Lolita and Xiaoba are able to continuously hone their skills without any scruples in the False God Realm.
"Uncle Jing said that there is nothing to teach us. He said that what we are short of now is cultivation. Aren't Xiaotian and I very good, Daddy!" Little Loli raised her head while talking, expressing her joy Come compliment me on my looks.
"Really, my Linglong and Xiaotian are so powerful that Uncle Jing has nothing to teach you!" Ye Zan cooperated with a surprised look, and then said, "Daddy will give you a reward and take you to play How about a game?"
Of course, the playground Ye Zan mentioned is the playground in the False God Realm. Although Little Lolita and Xiao Baxia can often go to the playground in the False God Realm, they cheered happily when they heard that Ye Zan wanted to take them there.
