"The realm of golden elixir is right in front of you."
Bai Gui sensed the innate Taiyi Qi generated in his body and felt happy, but he quickly calmed down.
"Even if it becomes a golden elixir now, it is just an ordinary golden elixir with limited potential. If you want to cross the realm of jade liquid returning elixir and become a true immortal, there is still a long way to go..."
He thought to himself.
After condensing the golden elixir, you will reach the realm of jade liquid returning elixir. This realm has seven levels, namely first return, second return, third return, fourth return, fifth return, and sixth return. Until the last return, the seventh return is completed. Return elixir to jade liquid.
But on top of the Jade Liquid Returning Pill, there is also the Golden Liquid Returning Pill. Only by achieving the Golden Liquid Returning Pill can it be considered a truly flawless Golden Pill.
He has truly reached the level of a god!
The realms of the leaders of each sect are generally at the realm of several golden elixirs.
"Seven times the cinnabar returns to the original, nine times the gold liquid returns to the true nature." - "Wu Zhen Chapter"
And if you want to reach the ninth level, the foundation of the realm of raising the holy fetus must be solid.
"Xiuzhu is a descendant of Nuwa. The dragon-turtle mystical fetus in my body coincides with Fuxi's divine power. If I wait a few years for the Nuwa's divine power in Xiuzhu's body to gradually awaken, and then practice Taoism with me, it will definitely be difficult for my dragon-turtle mystical fetus." The benefits of words..."
Bai Gui was only over thirty years old in this life, and still had a lot of time, so he thought about it for a moment and chose to suppress his current state without rushing.
In fact, when he returned to the court from Tubo King City, he had already felt on a whim that the time for him to break through to the realm of golden elixir was coming, but he deliberately slowed down the progress. During this period, even the outer elixir was not available. How to take it is to lay a solid foundation.
Only with a solid foundation can we make further progress!
But he didn't expect that a blessing from his ancestor would bring him to the point where he was on the verge of condensing the golden elixir, and he had to consider the matter.
…
Although Bai Gui thought in his heart that it would be better to wait a few more years to condense the golden elixir, in order to be on the safe side, he still asked the heads of various sects in the Laojun Palace.
As for his master Hou Shaowei, he also agreed with this matter.
Cultivating Taoism is not something done behind closed doors. With brainstorming, you may gain even more.
Everyone encounters different problems when practicing Taoism. Even if you have some knowledge, for the sake of your future, it is better to ask more people.
Discussing Taoism is also a common thing among various sects.
Zhang Tianshi of the Tianshi Dao is from the Fulu lineage and cannot answer the question. However, there were many masters from the Outer Alchemy Sect and the Inner Alchemy Sect present. After thinking for a while, they gave the answer.
The sect's opinions and the importance of taking care of oneself can be found in every sect. However, Bai Gui's status is different. He is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the Louguan Taoism has a complete inheritance. It is not necessarily the inheritance of a small family.
The discussion continued until sunset.
Everyone has gained something, and Bai Gui also strengthened his inner thoughts and continued to polish the mysterious body. When Bai Xiuzhu and Nuwa awakened their magical power, the dragon and tiger interacted, and the yin and yang reconciled, and condensed a fine golden elixir.
…
Three days later.
Court meeting.
Bai Gui took the opportunity to propose using Five Emperors coins and Talisman coins to replace the ordinary copper coins circulating in the market.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed and all the officials spoke in silence.
No one expected that Bai Gui, who had been serving as the second prime minister in the political affairs hall, would plan such a big event without saying a word.
Samples of Five Emperors Money and Talisman Money are already available!
It can't be a last-minute idea.
"This copper coin is exquisitely made, but it is probably very expensive. I don't know what price Prime Minister Bai intends for the people to exchange for this coin. If it is too high, it will deprive the people. If it is too low, the court will lose. There are not only one or two copper coins in the world, but hundreds of millions!"
"One copper coin loses ten cents a year, and a hundred copper coins equals one coin. Thousands of copper coins accumulate over time. How can the national treasury bear such a loss..."
The Minister of Household Affairs came out of the queue, holding the wat board, and questioned.
Bai Gui said nothing.
Li Linfu came out of the queue, first bowed his hands to Li Longji who was sitting on the dragon chair, and then said: "Chen Shilang, Prime Minister Bai hasn't said the cost of this copper coin yet? Why do you question it immediately? Could it be that you suspect that Prime Minister Bai is so mediocre? In other words... Chen Shilang is not telling the story for official reasons, but has another purpose? "
"you!"
"You are lying! The sun will make it clear, your Majesty will decide what my minister's intentions are..."
Chen Shilang's expression changed slightly.
Bai Guineng proposed this matter in the court, so he must have had a draft in mind and filed it on record. He seems to be fair, but as Li Linfu said, he does have selfish motives, but officials tend to mince words when speaking.
When he asked this question, he was asking why Bai Gui didn't discuss the matter with Prime Minister Song Jing first. If Bai Gui discussed the matter with Song Jing first, he, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Song Party, must have had some understanding of the matter. , so that when you get to the court, you will not realize it later.
Therefore, when he spoke, he spoke for Song Jing.
Li Longji ignored the argument between Chen Shilang and Li Linfu. He lowered his eyes to Song Jing, who was at the top of the right column, and asked, "I wonder... what does the Song Dynasty think of this coin?"
He was just helping Bai Gui.
Minting new coins, bypassing the Shaofu Supervisor, and letting Zong Shengguan do it is equivalent to Bai Gui concentrating money and power on himself. And to seize power, it is inevitable to confront Song Jing, the real power in the court.
Song Jing has been in power for too long, and there are too many old officials in the court. If it were not for Bai Gui's apprenticeship, Li Longji would have dismissed Song Jing in the eighth year of Kaiyuan, and would not have waited until the tenth year of Kaiyuan.
Although he will not dismiss Song Jing immediately, he will quietly reveal his intentions in secret, so that some courtiers who "fawn on the powerful" in the court will start to choose to bet.
When the time for betting is almost up, it is time for Song Jing to be dismissed.
The other party who bet is undoubtedly Bai Gui, who is showing his talent at this time.
"I have not learned about this thing in detail..."
"So I dare not speak nonsense!"
"Why not let Bai Xiang speak in person, and wait until I really understand it, then I will speak."
Song Jing took a deep look at Bai Gui, paused for a while, and spoke.
He had long thought that such a day would come. But he didn't expect it to come so soon.
It was also because he was attached to power... and refused to let go for a long time, so that he encountered such a situation.
He wanted to be Xiao He, but Li Longji was not the young emperor Liu Ying, and he would not sit idly by and watch him hold the position of prime minister.
"Since Master Song said so..."
"Then I'd be disrespectful to refuse."
Bai Gui nodded and explained: "The cost of this coin is slightly higher than that of ordinary coins. Although it is not as exaggerated as what Minister Chen said, it is not much different. If two thousand strings of coins are issued, the court will lose one string of coins!"
"Don't rush to refute, listen to me!"
"Since ancient times, bad coins have been repeatedly banned, so issuing new coins is a loss-making business for the court..."
"But this new coin can prevent people from making private coins. First, this coin The currency is a Taoist legal currency. Anyone who dares to use this legal currency to melt into a copper furnace will not only lose his virtue, but also the magic power in the legal currency will be triggered. At that time..."
"In addition, the court will also set up money supervisors in Taoist temples in various places. Anyone who dares to privately make coins will be found out after a check."
"From now on, there will be no private money in the world, only real money circulated by the court. Then exchanging real money for ordinary copper coins in the hands of the people will only be a temporary loss, but...if the world uses real money, the benefits to the country will be more than thousands!"
After hearing this, the officials began to speculate whether what Bai Gui said was true.
This kind of Taoist legal currency was the first time they saw it, and they were not sure whether what Bai Gui said was true.
Therefore, after Bai Gui finished speaking, the court was silent for a while.
