Chapter 507 How Can We Be so Worthy (22)
Qiu Shaoyuan and others didn't know their identities had been exposed, and now they were in self-blame.
The seven days in Shennong Valley were the happiest seven days of their lives.
Every day, they had no worries about food and clothing, and they didn't have to worry about other Xuantian Sect monks coming to rob their blood and qi. They lived a very stable life.
There was enough meat and vegetables, and they could listen to classes in the school at will. After class, they could also learn farming knowledge and related techniques in the fields. Every day was tiring and fulfilling.
However, the more comfortable their lives were, the more uneasy they became.
After all, they were Xuantian Sect monks, and they had a deep hatred with the righteous sect. Once they were discovered, it would probably be a dead end.
Therefore, even if they were reluctant to leave, they still decisively withdrew, fearing that they would be trapped in it and never get out again.
It's just that their bodies are on the road, and their hearts are still in Shennong Valley.
Flying in the air, the group was silent for a long time, and then a disciple suddenly said: "I forgot to water the tree before I left."
"Don't worry about your broken tree!" Xuantian Sect Immortal Master snorted in dissatisfaction, "Or are you not worried about the tree, but the people there? If it doesn't work, you can just go to Shennong Valley as a disciple."
The criticized disciple immediately blushed and was speechless.
Still Qiu Shaoyuan couldn't help but say: "He planted peach trees, Master, don't you like peaches the most? They will be ripe in a few days, and he wants to be the first to eat them for you, Master."
"You..."
Hearing the words of his disciple, Xuantian Sect Immortal Master just wanted to slap himself.
I'm really damned!
After hesitating for a long time, he whispered: "Let's go to the Refining Pavilion to find your opportunities first, and then see if there is any chance to ask the righteous sect for a piece of land."
"That would be great!"
The immortal master's proposal diluted the sadness of parting, and also made the disciples begin to imagine the opportunities they might get, and they flew far away unknowingly.
Spreading out the map he got in Shennong Valley, Qiu Shaoyuan looked at the content on the map and found that Jiuzhou was ridiculously large.
On the map, the headquarters of the righteous sect was firmly in the center, and the various sects were scattered in every corner of Jiuzhou.
Between the sects were the places where mortals lived, and smaller sects would serve as functional departments of small cities, and at the lower level, Qi-refining monks and mortals would jointly govern and manage the people.
Staring at the map, and then comparing it with the books on the righteous philosophy that he had read in Shennong Valley, Qiu Shaoyuan sighed: "What the righteous sect wants is very big."
In order to manage such a large territory, the number of monks required is very large.
The former Xuantian Sect may not be able to do this, so they basically adopt a free-range attitude towards the people below, and they are even worse than livestock.
Livestock can be slaughtered for meat, but mortals may not have such a high meat yield.
There are too many mortals and they may even cause trouble. If they reproduce too much, some wild monks will be born and then start to rebel.
Too many mortals are even negative assets, which is a headache for the former Xuantian Sect.
However, if the current management method of the righteous sect is followed, when the number of grassroots monks is sufficient, all mortals can be unified together, and then the power of mortals can be used.
Although I can't think of any role for mortals except for giving birth to more monks, there are always benefits to having more people, otherwise the righteous sect will not do this.
If they just do this, there are still many problems to be dealt with, and I don't know how the righteous sect solves them.
Qiu Shaoyuan and others are a little naive, but they are not stupid.
After reading a few books, they roughly understand the intentions of the righteous sect and begin to analyze how to intervene in this system to seek more benefits for them.
"Brother Qiu! Brother Qiu!"
After being called four or five times, Qiu Shaoyuan woke up from his contemplation and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
The disciple who called him stared blankly ahead, pulled Qiu Shaoyuan's sleeve and said dully, "Brother Qiu, we've arrived at the Refining Pavilion."
"It's here, why bother... wow..."
Turning his head, Qiu Shaoyuan knew why his junior brother was like this.
Behind him, the earth fire furnace of the Refining Pavilion was opened again, and black clouds rose into the sky, covering half of the sky.
It was obvious that the Demon Sect was refining the Demon Sect's magic weapon, but the Refining Pavilion was obviously a decent place, how did the Demon Sect get in?
Such a weird scene made Qiu Shaoyuan's mind confused, and he felt like he was dreaming, and everything was wrong.
I thought the black demonic energy was outrageous enough, but what happened next was even more abstract.
In the black fog, the giant shadow of a star king slowly rose. Although the other party's appearance could not be seen clearly, the other party's divine power was vast. Even if he had no actual authority, it was still impressive.
A large number of foundation-building heroes surrounded the star king and worshiped him constantly. The incense produced by this continued to merge with the devilish energy under the effect of the earth fire furnace, giving the original devilish energy a sacred breath.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Shaoyuan was numb.
Pulling the sleeve of his master beside him, he couldn't help but say: "Master, what's going on? What is the righteous sect doing?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know." Xuantian Sect Immortal Master said hesitantly, "I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a thing."
After listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice, a cultivator in the air turned his head and said to the two with a smile: "You don't know this. This is Mr. Fangwai refining the Human Emperor Flag."
"You call this the Human Emperor Flag!" Xuantian Sect Immortal Master couldn't help but roared, "I know even if I am blind, this thing is wrong!"
"What else?" The monk said calmly, "Mr. Fangwai said it was the Human Emperor Flag, do you believe it?"
The Immortal Master of Xuantian Sect opened his mouth and quickly closed it again.
What he said was right. It was such a big fuss to refine a magic weapon. If he said it was, then it was it.
After all, the Human Emperor Flag and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are two sides of the same coin. What to call it and how to use it are all defined by people, so there is no problem.
And after thinking it through, you can feel that this Human Emperor Flag has an extraordinary demeanor, with a hint of the Great Dao, and it looks quite pleasing to the eye.
Those who can use this flag must be extremely explosive people, and they do whatever they like.
So, it is definitely the Human Emperor Flag!
"Indeed, it is a good Human Emperor Flag." The Immortal Master of Xuantian Sect sighed.
"You have vision." The monk who talked to him nodded and said.
I thought this kind of trivial matter would just pass, but he still underestimated the moral bottom line of his disciples.
Qiu Shaoyuan pointed at the empty phantom of the flag and said in confusion: "But Master, this is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. You can't say it's not a banner just because the heroic spirit inside it is smiling happily."
"Shut up." Xuantian Sect Immortal Master whispered.
"And the other party is so ostentatious, which is inconsistent with the current style of the Demon Sect. Master, I feel that we need to find an opportunity to persuade the other party to stop being so high-profile."
"Shut up! How can we persuade the other party!"
