Chapter 203 The Wrong Taoist Companion (1/2)
As for the promotion of martial arts in the Northern Frontier, not only the Great Xia Dynasty, but even the forces under the command of other cultivators did not care. Martial arts, dogs do not practice them.
As high-ranking cultivators, they do not value martial arts at all. Even if it is a martial art that is more powerful than ordinary martial arts, isn't it still martial arts?
The so-called martial arts, in the eyes of cultivators, is just a fancy acrobatics, and they don't take it seriously at all. As for elite soldiers, they will naturally find someone to train them, but more of them are training the Taoist soldiers of their own sects.
The Taoist soldiers are the foundation for these cultivators to dominate the world. Taking advantage of the opportunity of fighting for the dragon, they can take power in the mortal world, select talents, and train a Taoist soldier of their own. This is what these cultivators value most.
After all, in the eyes of those cultivators who fight for the dragon, fighting for the dragon is only temporary. After all, even if they succeed in fighting for the dragon, they can't stay in the mortal world for a long time. They will eventually leave the mortal world and return to the world of cultivation. The Taoist soldiers are more useful to them.
Therefore, although the Great Xia Dynasty has seen the development of the northern border in recent years, it has never taken it seriously.
It is just that the puppet armor and the monster cavalry have always been kept secret by Feng Tianzong. These two are the real killers.
Dragon Qi is indeed of great help to cultivators, especially for cultivators below the Jindan stage. The lower the cultivation level, the stronger the amplification effect of dragon Qi, but as the cultivation level increases, the gain will be smaller.
In fact, for cultivators in the Jindan stage, the gain of dragon Qi is not great, and the spiritual energy in the mortal world is not enough to support the cultivation of cultivators in the Jindan stage, even with the amplification of the formation, it is still far inferior to the world of immortal cultivation.
When the cultivation level reaches the Jindan stage, the blessing of the formation can also be enjoyed in the world of immortal cultivation. This is also the reason why few Jindan cultivators are willing to go down to the world to fight for dragons during normal times.
In fact, dragon Qi can be regarded as a special spiritual energy, a spiritual energy exclusive to certain people. Dragon Qi can indeed increase the speed of cultivation.
The reason why Taishi Mingzhen was able to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core was because the founding ceremony instantly gathered all the dragon energy, the instantaneous dragon energy impact, and her cultivation level itself had already reached it, which enabled her to achieve the promotion of cultivation level.
But after the founding of the country, the dragon energy was gathered in a long stream. If you want to use the dragon energy on a large scale, it will only accelerate the collapse of the dynasty.
To make a simple analogy, Feng Tianzong has developed the people's livelihood and the army in the northern border over the years, which is equivalent to saving money. The dragon energy is equivalent to the money he has accumulated.
Before the founding of the country, these dragon energies were equivalent to the money in the piggy bank and could not be used. A founding ceremony was equivalent to Feng Tianzong smashing the piggy bank and sharing the money with everyone.
In recent years, the northern border has been prosperous, the country is peaceful, and the strength of the army is also booming. The dragon energy accumulated for ten years has exploded instantly, so everyone has a lot of dragon energy.
If you want to get such a large amount of dragon energy again, there will be few opportunities. In the days ahead, the dragon energy will continue to flow into the national destiny, gathering bit by bit every year, every month, every day, and every hour. However, this slowly gathering dragon energy is just a drop in the bucket for the Jindan cultivators.
In the future, if you want to obtain a large amount of dragon energy, in addition to accumulating it, you can only expand the territory and increase the population.
The end of the founding ceremony also means that Dashang has entered the eyes of other forces.
As the first dragon-fighting force to establish a country, the Daxia Dynasty naturally attaches great importance to it. However, after all, there is the boundary gate. Dashang has now developed to a limit. If you want to expand, you can only go south. But if you can't cross the boundary gate, there will be no threat to the Daxia Dynasty.
There are now two voices in the court. One voice is to knock down Dashang, the first bird. The other voice is to let Dashang establish a country and become emperor, and ignore it. Use the army in more important places. After all, with the existence of the boundary gate, Dashang is not a big threat to their Daxia Dynasty.
But the forces within the Great Xia Dynasty are different. Although these people have not yet established a country, they are a greater threat to the Great Xia Dynasty.
And even if they defeat the Great Shang, they will not look down on the land of the Northern Frontier.
The greater the power, the more people, and the more internal opinions. The Great Xia Dynasty is the same. After so many years of inheritance, the ancestors of the Great Xia royal family have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage with the help of the luck of the dragon fight.
Although most of the current Great Xia royal family are mortals, even if they have cultivation, their cultivation is not high, but they still have people behind them. And now the army and political power of the Great Xia Dynasty are mostly in the hands of the Great Xia royal family.
Another force is the generation of cultivators from the Wanfa Sect who went down the mountain to fight for the dragon. Among this group of people, there are two groups. One group wants to support the current Great Xia Dynasty to revive again and use the power of the Great Xia Dynasty to participate in the dragon fight.
The other group does not want to be controlled by others, so they simply start a new stove and go out independently to prepare for rebellion. Although they were divided into three groups, they were all connected and had a sense of fellowship.
After Feng Tianzong received the news from the Great Xia Dynasty, he didn't know what the top leaders of the Wanfa Sect thought. The disciples were so confused even when they participated in a dragon fight.
"Maybe this is also a way to train the disciples." Feng Tianzong could only think so.
But for him, this is not bad news. He always feels that there are too few demon beast cavalry now. If no one disturbs him, he can develop for another ten years, and there will be 30,000 wolf cavalry, 3,000 stone dragon knights, and 1,000 stone armor pig heavy cavalry. This battle for the dragon is basically no suspense.
To be invincible, and then to directly sweep the opponent as soon as he comes out of the mountain, is what Feng Tianzong wants to do most.
Now the most important thing for Feng Tianzong is to condense the third golden elixir. Feng Tianzong has been looking forward to the magical golden elixir for a long time, and can divide the space and establish his own independent cave world.
Under the blessing of dragon energy, Feng Tianzong not only has a feeling that he is about to break through in his cultivation, but what surprises him even more is that he feels that his understanding has also been improved. Many aspects that he didn't think of before can now be applied to other things.
This makes Feng Tianzong a little suspicious. Why didn't the Puppet Sect participate in the battle for the dragon for so many years? When he was in the sect, he asked his master. The master said that the sect did not participate in the dragon fight because the gains did not outweigh the losses. The dragon energy was also very useless for their puppet sect, so the disciples of the puppet sect were not very enthusiastic about participating in the dragon fight. In addition, they could not win, so they gradually stopped participating.
But Feng Tianzong felt that this was obviously not the case. The blessing effect of the dragon energy was very powerful, far exceeding his expectations. The master would definitely not lie to him, or did the dragon energy mutate when it came to him?
But it was not right. Tai Shi Mingzhen and several senior brothers also achieved a breakthrough in strength. This is also because Da Shang is only a remote place. If the entire Da Xia Dynasty is annexed in the future, how powerful will the dragon energy blessing be?
Feng Tianzong couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked his wife Tai Shi Mingzhen to discuss it together.
"My husband is getting a little too obsessed. This time, the dragon fight is different from the previous ones. This time, there is a great calamity. As the one who is to be calamed by the great calamity, he will naturally gain more luck.
The situation of the great increase in understanding that my husband mentioned should be caused by the acquisition of a large amount of luck, and has nothing to do with dragon energy." Tai Shi Mingzhen explained to Feng Tianzong with a smile.
Feng Tianzong nodded. This statement makes sense. This time, the founding of the country has not only obtained dragon energy, but also luck in the dark?
Feng Tianzong suddenly thought of several saints in the ancient myths of the past life, who also relied on establishing a great sect to obtain enough luck, and then suppressed the luck with treasures to achieve enlightenment.
Although he is only a small Jindan cultivator now, and there is still a little distance from the saint, the principle is actually the same.
Feng Tianzong looked at his top-grade magic weapon, Wanchongshan. Although it was only a top-grade magic weapon, it should be enough to suppress the luck of a country.
In this way, it can explain why his understanding has been amazing during this period.
"Madam, since we have become Taoist partners, then husband and wife are one. Do you feel that your luck has been blessed and your understanding has increased greatly?" Feng Tianzong asked curiously.
Tai Shi Mingzhen nodded and said, "Yes, but not strongly. Many of the magical powers that were originally cultivated are now used, and I will also have a lot of new insights, especially the great magical power that I am cultivating. The progress of cultivation is much faster than before."
"Okay, since it can also help Madam, by the way, how is the market we want to build? What stage has it progressed to?" Feng Tianzong asked.
"My husband, the invitations have been sent out. The date is set for May next year. The location is in the place we agreed on, in the mountains outside the Jiemen Pass. This is also to prevent mortals from entering.
The last thing is the goods we prepared. However, I am practicing a magical power with the help of my enhanced understanding. If this magical power is successfully practiced, my strength will be greatly improved. So I have less time to draw talismans. Please understand, my husband.
Originally, I planned to concentrate on drawing talismans for a while after sending out the invitations so that I could stockpile some goods. Unexpectedly, my husband suddenly wanted to establish a country and promoted my cultivation to the middle stage of the golden elixir. This greatly disrupted my previous plan." Tai Shi Mingzhen said apologetically.
"There's no need to apologize. For us cultivators, cultivation strength is the foundation. Your strength is the most important. Opening the market is also for the improvement of our strength in the future. We can't put the cart before the horse.
And the founding of the country was indeed a sudden incident. I didn't expect that the dragon energy would suddenly gather and intensify, which made me suddenly sense the opportunity to build a country. I should apologize." Feng Tianzong said while caressing Tai Shi Mingzhen's cheek lovingly.
"Thank you for your understanding, husband. Also, regarding the matter of the elixir, I have sent a message to my uncle, and he will reply soon. Finally, there are the puppets on my husband's side.
I wonder how many puppets my husband can provide for the market?" Tai Shi Mingzhen asked.
Puppets in the Qi Refining Stage are not valuable. The refining of puppets in the Foundation Establishment Stage requires Feng Tianzong's tax money to be quickly refined.
There was still time until next May, so he planned to prepare a batch of foundation-building bone spirit puppets for the market. After collecting taxes after the New Year, he would condense the third golden elixir and the formation golden elixir, and there should be a lot of tax revenue left, which he could use to refine a batch of bone spirit puppets and trade resources with others.
Puppets can be a fighting force, and a strong one at that, which can definitely increase the severity of the fights between the cultivators.
Feng Tianzong is now very good at puppet self-destruction, and each puppet has increased the power of self-destruction.
If someone wants to use the puppets bought from him to deal with him, it is purely overthinking. As a puppeteer, how can the puppets he refines not have backdoors?
If Feng Tianzong can really encounter the puppets he sold on the battlefield in the future, he will make a lot of money. It only takes one year to make the puppets rebel.
"We have prepared pills, talismans, puppets, etc., but it is a bit too thin to want to set up a market with these things. Otherwise, let's sell some materials and herbs!" Tai Shi Mingzhen suggested.
"The materials and herbs we have now are too low-level. Not to mention high-level cultivators, they are not very attractive even to cultivators in the foundation-building stage." Feng Tianzong said with some embarrassment.
Da Shang has indeed developed well in recent years, and even a spiritual medicine garden has been established near the Puppet Sect. Although it has not been produced yet, in the near future, after this batch of medicine matures, Da Shang's Baicao Dan will no longer lack raw materials, and the price will be able to take a big dive.
Feng Tianzong does not rely on Baicao Dan and Chixue Dan to make money. He uses these two kinds of pills as resources to improve the strength of his subordinates.
"Husband, I also know that you don't have too precious materials and herbs. I still have some spiritual medicines given to me by my master. They were given to me by my master after I gave birth to the child to restore my strength.
But after my husband founded the country, my strength went to a higher level. After being promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, these spiritual medicines were no longer used. It is better to take them out as a signboard to attract a group of customers." Tai Shi Mingzhen said while biting her lips.
At this moment, Tai Shi Ming Zhen didn't look like a Jindan-stage cultivator at all. Instead, she looked like a devoted wife who only cared about her husband.
In addition, Tai Shi Ming Zhen was willing to sacrifice her strength to bear a child for him. Feng Tianzong was deeply moved.
