Chapter 177 Leading People Down the Mountain (1/2)
In addition to his senior brothers and sisters who share the same master, the disciples of the Puppet Sect in this generation also have several disciples of his uncles and uncles. However, the number is not large, and there are less than 20 disciples who can successfully advance to the foundation-building stage. Among these less than 20 people, they are not from the same batch of disciples.
Among these foundation-building disciples, some go out to find materials, and some practice in seclusion. For example, his third senior sister is still practicing in seclusion.
At this moment, there are only nine foundation-building disciples who are not in seclusion in the sect.
Feng Tianzong did not stay in the sect for long, and even did not see his master. According to the eldest senior brother, he has gone down the mountain to find materials.
The daily life of the Puppet Sect is like this, practicing, going out to find materials, and refining puppets in seclusion. A small amount of time to communicate and study with fellow disciples. This kind of life has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
In Feng Tianzong's eyes, it is naturally unbearably boring, but in the eyes of many people, this is the attitude that a cultivator should have.
He discussed the Dao with his brothers several times, talking about the prosperity of the world and the wealth of the world. This caused a lot of ripples in the hearts of many brothers.
Many people were spotted by their master when they were young and brought into the mountain gate to practice. They have some impressions of life in the mortal world, but they don't know much.
Several brothers were moved by Feng Tianzong's words. Who doesn't want to show off in front of others and enjoy beautiful women?
Feng Tianzong's deception can be said to have advantages and disadvantages. Some people are tempted and are naturally willing to follow him down the mountain to enjoy. At the same time, some people are devoted to seeking the Tao and are not disturbed by the world. The original intention to participate in the dragon competition was also completely cut off, for fear that they could not help but be tempted. They can no longer endure the hardship of practicing Taoism.
For Feng Tianzong's almost tempting solicitation, the elders of the sect did not come out to stop it. Those who have perseverance, are not tempted by external things, and are willing to practice in the mountains are naturally the seeds of Taoism, and they are worthy of the sect's attention.
Those who are willing to go down the mountain to experience the world, they will not stop, everything is up to fate. Maybe there will be a day of repentance in the future. If they sink into the world of mortals, that is up to the disciples.
The great waves wash away the sand, and gold is revealed after all the sand is washed away. Time will naturally eliminate those disciples who are not good enough in cultivation. Disciples who do not have the perseverance to cultivate immortals will naturally die of exhaustion in a short time because their cultivation cannot keep up.
The sect will naturally not restrict disciples in this regard. Those who can improve their cultivation in the end will naturally become the high-level of the sect.
After being fooled by Feng Tianzong, six people, including the eldest brother, were willing to go down the mountain to help him and participate in the dragon fight. Among them, two were just going down the mountain to find disciples, so they helped him on the way.
Only three brothers, under Feng Tianzong's persuasion, stayed on the mountain without hesitation. Feng Tianzong also knew that these cultivators who were dedicated to hard work were the true seeds of cultivation in the sect.
Senior Brother Zhang Weize, who is in the middle stage of foundation building, Second Senior Brother Lu Weijin, who is in the early stage of foundation building, and Senior Uncle's disciples, who are in the middle stage of foundation building, Chen Weishou and Li Weining, and Second Senior Uncle's disciples, Zhao Weiding and Liu Weigong.
By the way, Feng Tianzong also recruited 23 outer disciples who had no future from the sect. Most of them were disciples in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, and basically had no hope of being promoted to the foundation building stage.
Feng Tianzong took the people back to Liaoyuan City on the teleportation array.
"Junior Brother, is this your territory? It doesn't look very prosperous." Senior Brother Zhang Weize said with some disappointment as he looked at the narrow streets and low shops on the roadside in Liaoyuan City.
"Senior Brother, aren't you preparing to rebuild the city? Now that I have unified the entire northern border, this place will soon become the capital of the entire northern border, and there will be a lot of people. When my new city is built, my Liaoyuan City will be more prosperous than the capital of Daxia." Feng Tianzong said confidently.
Whether it was the streets, houses, or the location of the market, or even the location of each well, Feng Tianzong personally designed and arranged it. With Feng Tianzong's formation skills, he had already calculated everything. These houses, wells, and markets were all located at the nodes of the formation. In the future, unless the entire Liaoyuan City was completely destroyed, his formation could not be destroyed.
When Feng Tianzong led these brothers and nephews into the Weiyang Palace, they were all dazzled. It was okay for several brothers in the foundation-building stage who had walked in the mortal world, after all, they had seen the courtyards of the rich and powerful families. Although it was not as magnificent as the palace complex of Feng Tianzong's Weiyang Palace, they were not too amazed.
The two brothers in the foundation-building stage who had been in the mortal world and were about to go to the mortal world to find apprentices, as well as those disciples in the Qi Refining stage, had never seen a palace as prosperous and magnificent as the Weiyang Palace.
Especially the maids walking in Weiyang Palace, each of them is as beautiful as a flower. These maids are the best girls selected from the entire Liaoyuan City every year and are concentrated in Weiyang Palace.
Although they are all cultivators, they were brought up to the mountains by their masters to practice Taoism since they were young. What is it like in the Puppet Sect? Feng Tianzong has a very good life. He lives in a cave and drinks mountain springs. Apart from practicing Taoism, there is really no entertainment.
Suddenly entering such a prosperous palace as Weiyang Palace, the delicate maids are naturally dazzled. Not to mention them, even when Feng Tianzong went down the mountain, didn't he buy fifty girls in one go?
Now think about it, the original approach does feel a bit like a nouveau riche.
Feng Tianzong did not introduce his wives, concubines, and personal maids to them, but the various delicacies, music, and dance were an eye-opener for these monks who had been staying in the sect all year round.
"Junior brother Feng, now that we have come down from the mountain to participate in the dragon fight under your command, it is natural that you will be the leader. If you need the brothers to do anything, just ask them." Senior brother Zhang Wei took the lead and said, He said this also to establish Feng Tianzong's leadership position among the many brothers.
"Senior Brother, you're welcome. All the senior brothers are my senior brothers. There is no need to say who is the leader among us fellow disciples. You are here to help me, junior brother. I would be very grateful if you could follow me down the mountain to help. Junior Brother Yes." Feng Tianzong said politely.
"Although you are our junior brother, you have come from behind and have been promoted to a golden elixir monk. Your cultivation level is higher than that of our senior brothers. You also conquered the territory of Northern Xinjiang from the hands of many sect monks. Although my senior brother got started before you, he still admires you.
Since you are going down the mountain to participate in the dragon fight, there are naturally rules for the dragon fight. From now on, I will naturally follow the lead of my junior brother. "Eldest Brother said seriously.
"What? Junior Brother Feng has been promoted to the Golden Core stage?" Several senior brothers still don't know about Feng Tianzong's promotion to the Golden Core stage. When he was in the sect, Feng Tianzong deliberately restrained his magic power. Their cultivation was not as good as Feng Tianzong's, and they didn't have the ability to detect. Naturally, the magical power cannot sense Feng Tianzong's cultivation level.
"Senior Brother Wei Ze is right. Since we have gone down the mountain to participate in the dragon fight, we must follow Junior Brother Feng's lead. From today on, we will do whatever Junior Brother Feng asks us to do. There are thousands of people in the family and one person in charge, so we have no ordinary life. The experience of fighting for the dragon is naturally based on your experience, Junior Brother Feng." Chen Weishou also agreed with a wink.
People who can cultivate to the foundation-building stage are naturally not idiots. Even if they have little experience, they can still hear that Feng Tianzong, the two senior brothers, sing and sing together to establish Feng Tianzong's absolute leadership position.
"Yes, yes, we are all willing to obey our junior brother's orders." Several other junior brothers in the foundation building stage also quickly agreed.
As for the other Qi Refining Stage monks, they would naturally have no objections. These Qi Refining Stage monks rarely even see Foundation Establishment Stage monks, let alone Feng Tianzong, a Golden Core Stage monk.
"In that case, I would like to thank you all for your help." Feng Tianzong said with a smile.
"This time I asked all the brothers to come down to help me because I want to build a puppet workshop to mass-produce low-level puppets. As long as there are enough low-level puppets, they can also pose a threat to high-level monks. "Yes." Feng Tianzong said bluntly.
"What is the Puppet Workshop?" Senior Brother Zhang Wei asked very cooperatively.
"The so-called puppet workshop is the mass production of puppets. I plan to build an ironwood puppet workshop first, and let the mortals under my command do some basic work, such as cutting down ironwood and making some ironwood puppet parts. .
Then some disciples in the Qi refining stage would carve formations on these parts to refine the core of the iron wood puppet. Finally, someone is responsible for assembling the parts of these iron-wood puppets.
Ironwood puppets are very simple. Disciples in the early stage of Qi refining can also easily refine them. The formation knowledge and puppet core involved are very simple. It's just that the process is cumbersome, and if it is refined by one disciple, it will take a long time.
If each disciple is only responsible for one of the processes and practice makes perfect, then the refining speed will naturally increase. A large number of tedious parts that do not require the responsibility of Qi Refining monks can also be left to mortals.
The speed of refining an ironwood puppet will naturally increase. This is the puppet workshop I envisioned. "Feng Tianzong explained to several fellow apprentices.
"Junior Brother Feng's method is quite clever. It is indeed a good method. You can give it a try." Chen Weishou nodded in agreement.
"My idea is to build an ironwood puppet workshop first. Such low-level puppets naturally do not need to be handled by senior brothers.
But if the effect is good, then build another bone spirit puppet workshop. At that time, all the senior brothers will need to take action. "Feng Tianzong said.
"Whatever Junior Brother Feng says, we just do.
Junior Brother Feng, no matter what the order, we will never say anything. "Other brothers also said one after another.
"The establishment of the ironwood puppet workshop is naturally left to the juniors in the Qi refining stage, but to refine the bone spirit puppets, a large number of demonic beast bones are needed, which requires the efforts of several senior brothers.
My idea is to raise some low-level monsters in captivity, and I hope that the senior brothers will catch a group of monsters that are easy to survive. Feng Tianzong said politely.
"Okay, I will help my junior brother capture the monster beast soon. But junior brother, this monster beast is not easy to keep in captivity. No matter what kind of animal it is, the monster beast will have to eat meat after it is promoted to a monster beast. Even the lowest level rabbits and chickens, these weak animals, will still need to eat meat after they are promoted to monsters.
It's okay to say that the quantity is small. If they are raised in large quantities, the daily consumption of meat will be simply an astronomical figure. Junior brother, you must first think about it, can you afford it?
In the entire world of cultivating immortals, only the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has the means to raise monster beasts in captivity. Senior Brother Zhang Wei reminded.
Feng Tianzong really didn't expect that there would be so many troubles in keeping monster beasts in captivity. Low-level monsters are also big eaters, which is why a mountain can often only feed one monster.
Each demon beast needs a huge amount of blood food to grow. If there are too many demon beasts, they really can't afford to raise them.
Feng Tianzong thought for a while and said, "The matter of raising demon beasts can be put off for later, but the matter of catching demon beasts really needs the attention of several senior brothers.
Catch the demon beasts first and raise them if you can. If you really can't raise them, kill them first and take their bones."
"Don't worry, junior brother, we will take care of this matter. There are many low-level demon beasts within the influence of our sect, so it's not troublesome to catch them." Several senior brothers saluted and said.
This salute was considered to determine the position of master and servant. From then on, they were willing to obey the orders of Feng Tianzong, the junior brother.
"Play music, sing and dance." Feng Tianzong said happily.
A team of graceful dancers, dressed in gauze clothes, came in and sang and danced on the carpet in the center of the hall.
Although these singers and dancers were all the ones left by Feng Tianzong, they were all beauties picked from thousands of miles away, and they were trained by Aunt Lan, which was very tempting to these cultivators.
However, although he was greedy, Feng Tianzong really didn't have the habit of sending women to others, although it was very common in the mortal world.
The next day, several brothers in the foundation-building period went out to return to the Xiuxian world to capture low-level monsters.
Among the twenty-three cultivators in the Qi-refining period, Feng Tianzong selected the tallest among the short ones and selected fifteen with relatively high cultivation, and asked these people to garrison fifteen cities in the northern border.
As for Liaoyuan City and the three nearby cities, there is naturally no need to send people to garrison, because these cities are within the detection range of Feng Tianzong's exploration eye.
The northern border is vast and sparsely populated, but there are cultivators. Many low-level cultivators who offended people in the Great Xia Dynasty like to run to the border areas, and there are also many people who commit crimes. Occasionally, some low-level monsters in the mountains will come down the mountain to eat people.
These matters all need to be handled by monks. The Great Xia court has the Immortal Master Mansion, which is a monk organization that specializes in handling these matters. Now that Feng Tianzong has completed the de facto secession of the Northern Frontier, it is indeed time to form his own monk team.
