Chapter 281: Paper Substitute Advances to Grandmaster Level
The prince who sits in Yuzhou is Prince Liang. Yuzhou has outstanding people and abundant spiritual energy. Not only are there many aristocratic families here, but also the Yuqing Sect, a famous sect, is a blessed place.
But because of this, the power of the royal family here is really not strong.
——The aristocratic family and the royal family are two ends of a seesaw. If one side is strong, the other side will be weak.
Moreover, Emperor Daling would not like his uncles to be too powerful, so the prince of Yuzhou was a mascot most of the time.
However, although he does not hold too much power, he still has the title of king and his status is still very high.
At this moment, when he came to Ping'an Ancient County, he occupied the largest territory, and with his status, he quickly gathered a lot of information.
At the same time, this generation of King Liang had a strong sense of crisis. After arriving in Ping'an Ancient County, he frequently held banquets to entertain the geniuses and children of aristocratic families who came here.
He didn't want to offend even the genius of the Demon Sect, so he actually gave away a lot of good things and gained some reputation.
However, the sight of the white spirit stones being sent away also made the pampered and somewhat greedy Princess Liang unhappy.
"Your Highness, why is this so important? We have a noble status and can just sit back and watch. Why give away so many things? Anyway, no matter how chaotic the world is, it will not mess with us..."
"Idiot! With long hair and short knowledge, how do you think the previous dynasty and the previous dynasties ended?"
His wife's words really made Prince Liang laugh.
However, looking at his wife's plump and graceful figure and thinking that this was the princess he had chosen, Prince Liang still controlled the anger in his heart and explained to his princess.
"We're in a dangerous situation right now."
"Whenever there is chaos in the world, there are ambitions everywhere, aristocratic families, famous sects, and demon sects...these are not obedient people, they are wolves and leopards who are always spying on the throne of our Ji family."
"And whenever these people raise an army, they will be the first to use our palace to sacrifice the flag."
"After all, we are the thorns planted by the royal family in all major prefectures, and we have accumulated a large amount of precious materials and treasures. Killing us will benefit them countless times."
"In these troubled times, if we don't want to be wiped out by others, we must prepare early and be kind to others."
What Prince Liang said was serious, and Princess Liang also became worried.
"Oh, is it so serious?"
"It's so serious. It is said that my imperial brother sent his son to the Taoist sect, the demonic sect, and even the Buddhist sect..."
Halfway through, when he saw his princess looking frightened, Prince Liang felt distressed. Instead of threatening her, he comforted her: "Don't worry, although the matter is serious, I have already made preparations. Our family will be fine."
While he was talking, a man dressed as a steward came in from outside. He was the palace steward who had served the three generations of Prince Liang and was also the most trusted person by Prince Liang.
Seeing him coming, King Liang immediately said enthusiastically: "Uncle Fu, you are here. Have you seen the situation of those talented people? Is there anyone who needs special attention?"
Upon hearing Prince Liang's inquiry, the steward bowed respectfully and then said:
"There are many people who need to pay attention. Under the turmoil, there are also crises. During this period, whether it is the magic sect, the Taoist sect, or even the powerful families, many geniuses have appeared."
"The Blood River, Ghost Shadow, and the Six Desire Witches on the other side of the Demon Gate are not weak. The Little Overlord, Jiao Zhizi, and Chi Ying who came after them are also talented demons who are expected to become real people."
The so-called real person is also a title for the realm of monasticism.
When a monk practices cultivation, the first three realms are Tao Tong, which is the beginning of cultivation.
The next three realms are Taoist priests, which are purely for accumulating mana.
The next one is the mage (Liansha, Ninggang). This is a step in the qualitative change of the monk's magic power, complementing himself with heaven and earth. It is also a prelude to strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence, and a complete explosion.
Then comes Mortal Transformation, which is a state where a monk completely transforms from human to non-human.
At this point, although the monk is not an immortal, he is no longer a human being. A monk in this state has almost no weaknesses, is extremely difficult to kill, and has many supernatural powers, even supernatural powers.
Even their images will change, such as three heads and six arms, one hundred feet and one eye, a thousand-headed ghost king, white bones and skeletons... In short, the monks in the Mortal Realm are not like humans at all.
In ancient times, such monks would be treated as gods just by showing up.
Nowadays, Sheofan is also known as Gao Gong. They are already in the cultivation world and the middle and high-level people of the Great Ling Dynasty. No matter where they go, they will be treated with courtesy.
And on top of the Mortal Transformation Technique is the Dharma-Xiang Zhenren.
A monk in this realm is not only powerful himself, but also needs to understand and refine a ray of law between heaven and earth.
Based on this law, they can even completely change the environment of a certain place by working hard. Therefore, monks in this realm are also called earth masters, earth immortals, or land gods.
Above the real person is the realm of the Heavenly Master.
This is a step further than the Earth Master, being able to change the celestial phenomena on his own.
Such a being, even the Great Spirit Emperor, must be treated with courtesy. Some emperors would even directly worship the Heavenly Master as their disciple.
At the same time, as a prince, King Liang also knew that the upper and lower limits of Tianshi were very high.
Ordinary Celestial Masters can only enter the Celestial Master's Mansion and be respected and worshiped...well, this status is also very high.
Real people in the Tianshi Mansion, even in the emperor, can use the Dragon Vein of National Fortune to practice. When they go to a place, they will immediately become a pastor.
However, although such a heavenly master has a high status, he will still be restrained.
A stronger Celestial Master can open a line of his own and become a powerful master.
The most powerful heavenly masters can be worshiped as national masters by the emperor. In this way, one of them can subdue a small country. Therefore, they are also revered as country-level powerful ones.
While thinking about it, King Liang shook his head and said: "Earth Immortal, if such a strong man protects us with all his strength, he can protect our lives, but it can only be our lives. All our property will be lost. Moreover, the Demon Sect The kid has a despicable character and cannot be trusted at all.”
"It's OK to befriend them a little bit, but forget it if you bet on them completely."
"Your Majesty is wise."
After praising him, the palace steward continued: "Besides the Demon Sect, there are also heroes from aristocratic families and Taoist sects. Lingxuzi of Yuqing Sect, Zui Xiaoyao, and Taoist Jade are all talented people who are expected to be immortals or even heavenly masters."
"In a wealthy family, Qin Ming from the Qin family and Gu Tuo from the Gu family are also considered talented people."
These are all good, but King Liang... is not satisfied with them.
It’s not that he doesn’t like it, but Prince Liang knows clearly that whether they are children of aristocratic families or disciples of sects, they always put their sect first. If the interests of aristocratic sects conflict with the interests of Prince Liang’s palace, those geniuses will not There was the slightest hesitation.
Even when the previous dynasty fell, there were many children from aristocratic families who directly slaughtered the princesses and princesses who were married to them to show their loyalty.
Therefore, King Liang was not at ease with them either.
"Are there no geniuses from poor families? The kind without family background?"
Such words made Fu Bo become silent.
After a long while, he finally said: "Yes, but very few. Lin Ku is one, but his upper limit is only the ability to transform into a mortal. Cheng Yi is also one, but he has already attached himself to the Yan family."
"Then there's Mu Lin."
At this point, Uncle Fu sighed, and then continued: "Mu Lin's talent is very strong. After a few months of practice, he can compete with the extraordinary skills of transformation. Even if he borrows external power, his minimum limit is at least an earth master. If you are lucky, you may even become a heavenly master.”
"Master Tian, are you sure?"
A strong man of this level is the emperor's guest, and the princes must be treated as teachers.
If there is a heavenly master to protect them, they will have no worries in Prince Liang's Mansion.
Therefore, King Liang was very excited after hearing about Mu Lin's potential.
However, contrary to Prince Liang's joy, Uncle Fu shook his head when he thought of Mu Lin's situation:
"Mu Lin does have the appearance of a heavenly master, but the Yan family and the Chu family have already made their bets. It will be difficult for us to win over him."
As he spoke, Uncle Fu placed the jade slip of Mu Lin's information into the hands of Prince Liang.
After taking it casually and browsing it, King Liang's eyes turned a little dim.
But soon, his eyes gradually started to shine again.
"Hey, the Chu family's daughter next to Mu Lin is a side branch, and the Yan family is not a legitimate daughter. My Lingsha has a chance!"
"The status of those two women is too low, neither of them can become the mistress. If Lingsha gets married, she can become the head wife and mistress."
Prince Liang was happy, but before the smile on his face fully bloomed, a slightly coquettish shout rang out from beside him:
"I won't marry anyone!"
The sudden sound made King Liang startled. He turned around and found that his beloved daughter was staring at him angrily.
Such a scene made King Liang smile bitterly and persuaded: "Lingsha, don't be willful. I am doing this for your own good. The world is in chaos, and I want to ensure your safety..."
"Humph, father, I can guarantee my daughter's safety myself. That Mu Lin may not be able to defeat me."
When she said this, Ji Lingsha was a little excited, and as her mood changed, her hair instantly changed from black to white and rosy.
While her hair changed color, her aura also soared, and soon her cultivation skyrocketed to the Ning Gang Realm.
Even in this state, she is only one step away from the unity of Gang and Sha.
Such momentum made Ji Lingsha even more confident: "You see, father, I can protect myself."
This kind of strength indeed made Liang Wang quite pleased, but soon he shook his head and said: "Lingsha, swords and guns have no eyesight, and the battlefield is ruthless. As a daughter, you'd better not go to the battlefield."
This time, Princess Liang also agreed very much.
"That's right, Lingsha, I only have you as my daughter. If you are gone, how will I live as a mother... You should meet that Mu Lin first. Even if it doesn't work out, it would be good to get closer to her."
The repeated persuasion from her parents made Ji Lingsha agitated and even gritted her teeth.
Boys and girls of this age are always rebellious. Now, although she has not met Mu Lin yet, because of her parents' persuasion, Ji Lingsha has become extremely rebellious towards Mu Lin.
"Mu Lin, right? Don't let me touch you..."
…
Mu Lin, who was practicing, would not know that because of King Liang's operation, he had an "enemy" out of thin air.
However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
At this time, he had more important things to deal with.
…
At Yuhu Taoist Temple, next to the Tower of Time, Mu Lin, who was practicing hard with all his strength, suddenly opened his eyes with joy at a certain moment.
At the same time, there was also unconcealable joy in the corners of his mouth!
"I'm done!"
While I was happy, I thought about the realization I had just made and the changes in the paper substitute.
A trace of doubt also appeared in Mu Lin's heart.
"Speaking of which, I know that master-level spells are very powerful, but this time, my substitute paper man is probably too powerful."
"With this spell, who can kill me?"
