heaven money

Hong Xixiang bowed politely to Xu Fengnian, but his eyes were observing Shang Yi, Ruan Yushu, Meng Qi and others.

Wudang Mountain is known for being the place where half of the world's internal strength comes from. In addition to its renowned Wudang swordsmanship, it also places more emphasis on the cultivation of internal strength, making it a model of both internal and external cultivation.

The Taoist priest had met many senior brothers of the same generation on the Big Lotus Peak, and the young men of the same generation in front of him were not simple, especially Shang Yi. He could not be clearly seen at first glance, but he was definitely better than his senior brother Wang Chonglou.

The great uncle master from Mount Wudang, who was not yet thirty years old, took two steps back subconsciously and threw a look to the Crown Prince who seemed to be ready to flatten Mount Wudang, which meant "you know it, I know it, and the world doesn't know it". Xu Fengnian threw a look back, and the great uncle master gave another look back, and this went on repeatedly, leaving the bystanders confused, not knowing what the two were up to.

Shang Yi knew that this was a scene where Master Xu beat up the little Taoist priest.

In the end, in the eyes of the Taoists in Yuqing Palace, it was undoubtedly the great-grandmaster who won, and he was definitely a master who defeated the enemy without fighting. Everyone saw the great-grandmaster turned around and walked forward in a leisurely manner, with an indescribable ethereal air, while the hateful Crown Prince followed the white-haired old man and a group of young warriors up the stairs to Mount Wudang.

The Taoist priests were relieved. The great-grandmaster was the great-grandmaster, and he made the dude surnamed Xu compromise without saying a word. But the Taoist priests didn't know that the three of them had arrived at a secluded place. In their minds, the great-grandmaster, whose status was second only to the immortal Canglan, was beaten and kicked by Xu Fengnian with his sleeves rolled up for a whole incense stick of time. The only thing they heard was the great-grandmaster's plea, "Don't hit people in the face, don't kick birds."

After finishing his work and doing some exercises to regulate the qi in his dantian, Xu Fengnian finally felt refreshed. He left behind a banned erotic book and walked away. However, he did not go down the mountain. Instead, he took a group of people with different expressions along a narrow bluestone path carved into the cliff and climbed up to the Jingle Palace hanging on the cliff.

The biggest surprise of this temple is that there is an altar for praying for rain built out of the cliff, imitating the Big Dipper. According to Taoist scriptures, Ziyun Zhenren of Wudang Mountain once ascended to heaven here. Jingle Palace is usually not open to the public, and some scholars who come to explore the secluded places can only return empty-handed. However, thanks to his father, the Great Pillar of the State, Xu Fengnian can bring everyone to the Seven Star Altar in a swagger.

The mountain wind was biting, but the people sitting cross-legged were not affected. However, Xu Fengnian, who had not practiced martial arts, stood behind Lao Kui with a sword and walked lightly. Only then did he steady his body. He could hardly open his eyes, so he had to sit down, just hiding in the shadow of Lao Kui.

Xu Fengnian shouted with great effort:
"Grandpa, how powerful is that little Taoist priest?"

Lao Kui seemed a little puzzled and said:
"His martial arts skills are mediocre, and he seems to be the same kind of slacker as you. It's a pity that his parents gave him such a good skeleton. As for his Taoism, there is no way to test it. I don't know, but I guess it won't be too bad, nor too good. Most of the difficulties in the world can't escape the path of sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. If you don't endure hardships, how can you succeed?

This is so strange. Why did Wudang Mountain choose this material? Is it the same as the Zen sect's descendants' forest? I can't figure it out. Can this be considered the reincarnation of Lu Zu?"

As he said this, he looked at Shang Yi in confusion along with everyone else.

Shang Yi smiled and said:
"His practice is different from ours. We practice martial arts, while he practices heavenly ways. We need to practice step by step to accumulate foundation and climb the ladder in martial arts, but he suddenly realized that he was immortal and invincible in the world. Therefore, he naturally relied on enlightenment!"

Xu Fengnian was even more puzzled and asked:
"There is such a mysterious Taoist technique? Not only can it be invincible, but it can also kill people?"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"You're asking the wrong person!"

"But you can't kill anyone."

A young Taoist priest of the same generation as the headmaster of Wudang Mountain put his hands into the sleeves of his Taoist robe and stood on the edge of the altar, but refused to step on the Seven Stars. He gave the answer with a smile. Looking at his figure, he was not as still as a mountain as Lao Kui, nor as staggering and embarrassed as Xu Fengnian. He just swayed with the wind, neither too big nor too small, just moving with the wind, and there was actually some mysterious meaning of the unity of man and nature.

This situation made Qi Zhengyan, Ruan Yushu and Jiang Zhiwei's eyes light up slightly, and Meng Qi and others also observed attentively.

"Harmony between man and nature" is even more natural and mysterious than the so-called unity between man and nature at the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows. It also gave them some insights into the practice of unity between man and nature.

Because of this, Hong Xixiang's suspicion that he was the reincarnation of Lu Zu was also somewhat believed.

Xu Fengnian was short-sighted and didn't see the point. He just turned around and stared at the Taoist priest riding a cow who made his sister leave Beiliang with regret. Although he knew the reason, he still asked gloomily:
"Hong Xixiang, why don't you want to go down the mountain and walk through the Xuanwu Dangxing archway?!"

The youngest ancestor in the thousand-year history of Wudang Taoism grinned, with an unmannerly look of embarrassment on his face, and said:

"I went up the mountain at the age of five, and learned a little about prophecy at the age of eight. My master asked me to do a small calculation every day, a medium calculation every month, and a big calculation every year to calculate when I can go down the mountain and when I need to retreat in seclusion on the mountain. But since I learned this knowledge, there has not been a day that I don't need to retreat in seclusion."

Xu Fengnian didn't take it seriously and sneered:

"It is said that your master set a rule for you before he died. You cannot leave the mountain unless you become the best in the world? It seems that you will never leave the mountain in this life."

There was a Taoist priest with a distinguished name who remained calm and unmoved, laughing:
"It's true that I'm the best in the world, but I eat the most, read the most, and I'm the best in a lot of things. Master didn't say I'm the best in martial arts. There will always be a day when I will come down from the mountain."

Xu Fengnian stood up with difficulty, looked towards the south of the Yangtze River, and said softly:

"But by then, we will all be old. Will it be useful if we meet again with gray hair?"

Xu Fengnian knew the story of Lu Zu and Hong Yi, but he didn't want to let his sister wait until she was old and gray, so he still wanted Hong Xixiang to go down the mountain. Even if the Liyang court and Longhu Mountain were plotting against him, he, Beiliang, would take over!

Hong Xixiang closed his eyes and said nothing.

Elder Xu Feng exhaled, snorted coldly, walked out of the altar, and stopped slightly when passing by the Taoist priest, and asked:

"What do you think of my sister?"

The Taoist priest who had been in this glass world since he could remember, holding Huang Ting and riding a cow upside down to watch the clouds roll and unfold, said softly:
"most."

Xu Fengnian walked out of Jingle Palace expressionlessly, while the fierce old man behind him seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhao Xixiang waited until His Royal Highness walked away, then squatted in an indecent posture, holding his cheeks with both hands, lost in thought, and muttered to himself:

"Red beans grow in the south, they sprout in spring and wither in winter. It is better not to miss you than to miss you."

Above the Taoist's head, dozens of red-crowned cranes full of spiritual energy were circling and singing, making him look like a celestial being.

He suddenly covered his stomach and said with a sad face:
"Hungry again."

Lao Kui suddenly said:

"It's true. That Taoist priest with the ox nose has some skills."

Xu Fengnian was not in a good mood and asked perfunctorily:

"How to say?"

Lao Kui said uncertainly:

"That kid is truly cultivating the Supreme Heavenly Way."

Then he looked at Shang Yi in amazement and said:

"Shang Lou is really not a simple man. He has only been in the Central Plains for a few short years, but he has already figured out everything in the Central Plains!"

Shang Yi smiled slightly when he heard this and did not explain.

After lunch on Mount Wudang, two Taoists of very different ages came. One was naturally the young great-grandmaster Hong Xixiang of Qi Cai Shao Che, and the other was an old Taoist with white hair and a youthful face. He was extremely burly, not inferior to the old man at the bottom of the lake at all. Such a physique was really rare in Taoism.

A few people did not follow, after all, it was about the transaction between Wudang and Beiliang, and also about the inheritance of Wudang.

Meng Qi asked Shang Yi curiously: "Brother Shang, what do you think is the way to make up for Master Xu's foundation?"

The others, even Lao Kui, looked over curiously. After all, Shang Yi knew too much from the beginning to the end, and they were also very curious about what kind of method could make King Beiliang confident that Xu Fengnian would not be weaker than other geniuses after learning martial arts.

Shang Yi smiled slightly and said:

"Wang Chonglou, the head of Wudang, practices the most difficult and profound Da Huang Ting in Taoism. He was once famous for his feat of cutting off the Lancang River with two fingers.

Once the Dahuangting is achieved, it is not an ordinary Zhixuan realm, but the Great Zhixuan realm, which is only one step away from becoming a land immortal!
The most important thing is that Dahuangting is a method that can be used to pass on skills, just like making a wedding dress for others, and it can lay the best foundation for Xu Fengnian's practice!

But it will take quite some time for Xu Fengnian to accept the inheritance. Let's take a look around Wudang Mountain and then go back to Tingchao Pavilion to read!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Zhang Yuanshan was the most interested in Wudang Mountain. He visited all the open areas of Wudang Mountain in half a day.

At the same time, he also said one thing, that is, when he was burning incense to the Great Emperor Zhenwu, he found the words "exiled three thousand miles away" engraved on the back of the statue.

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"Look, Xu Fengnian has been traveling outside for three years, and the farthest he has been is three thousand miles away from Beiliang. Doesn't this correspond to the 'exile three thousand miles away' on the back of the Zhenwu statue?"

Zhang Yuanshan was shocked when he heard this and understood what Shang Yi was implying.

No wonder Wang Zhonglou had to prepare for Xu Fengnian's wedding, and no wonder Shang Yi said that Xu Fengnian was absolutely qualified to show off his power in Wudang Mountain. It turns out that Xu Fengnian might be the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor. This is shocking news.

For Zhang Yuanshan, Xu Fengnian is like the reincarnation of his ancestor. No wonder he felt an inexplicable liking for Xu Fengnian when he first came to this world, and was willing to travel with him even though he looked like a bohemian beggar.

Meng Qi on the side was also shocked. After all, he had been carrying out a side quest on the Zhenwu Tomb, and he hadn't completed the quest yet when he ran into the reincarnation of the real master!
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"This matter has even been covered up by the world. The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation cannot detect it. Don't worry!"

However, they were not in a hurry to leave. Shang Yi found Hong Xixiang, took out a jade bottle and said:
"Master Hong, this is the 'Essence Transformation Pill' refined by my business building. It is aimed at those who have lost all their internal energy. It is a token of my business building's appreciation.

After this incident, Master Wang will be able to recover from his defeat and possibly even be better than before!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Xixiang excitedly took the pill and said:
"Master Shang, Hong Xixiang and Wudang Mountain will remember this kindness and will definitely repay it!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

“Hahaha, Taoist priest, you are too polite. I am just a businessman. I don’t ask for much. I just want Wudang Mountain to take care of me after I have a branch of the business building in Wudang Mountain.

In the future, if you come to my business building for food, clothing, housing and transportation in Wudang Mountain, you can get a 30% discount!"

Shang Yi's mercenary look made Hong Xixiang a little unresponsive, but he still saluted and said:

"Mr. Shanglou is too polite. In the future, the Shanglou branch will be located at the foot of Wudang Mountain, and there won't be any evil people causing trouble!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"Thank you, Master Hong!"

With that, he left in a leisurely manner, and followed by Meng Qi and others, the Beiliang soldiers, headed towards the Beiliang Palace, ready to enter the Tingchao Pavilion to continue reading!

Hong Xixiang looked at Shang Yi from a distance and suddenly realized something:

"I am obsessed with appearances. Heaven is the Tao, earth is the Tao, man is the Tao, cultivation is the Tao, sword is the Tao, heaven and earth are the Tao, all things in the world are the Tao, then business is also the Tao. It turns out that the owner of the Shang building is following the business path. Who can say that a businessman is not practicing cultivation?"

Looking at Shang Yi's back at this time, I am even more impressed. How can a practitioner not be admired if he can practice in the world and resist all kinds of temptations without losing himself?

The so-called Taoist masters are detached from the world and stay away from the red dust is just a nice-sounding statement. To put it bluntly, the bustling city is too disturbing, and they cannot calm down to practice. They are also afraid of all kinds of cause and effect, so they hide in the mountains to seek peace and quiet.

Shang Yi, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. He can still calm down and concentrate in the bustling city, and never forget his original intention. He even uses the world to temper his Taoism, and is not afraid of any cause and effect.

The difference is obvious when compared in this way.

Shang Yi heard what Hong Xixiang was thinking through his telepathy. He was surprised that he could see through his business acumen, but at the same time he felt a little ashamed. Although he had gained experience in the secular world, he was not immune to the fear of cause and effect. He could only say that he put safety first and acted according to circumstances because he had all kinds of cards in his pocket.

After returning to the Beiliang Palace, everyone did not pay attention to other things, but went into the Tingchao Pavilion to read.

The books in Tingchao Pavilion are equivalent to an armory, which contains thousands of books that even big sects such as Xijian Pavilion and Zhenwu Sect do not have. Therefore, everyone cherishes this opportunity very much!
Instead, Shang Yi found the King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao.

In the reception room, Xu Xiao and Shang Yi sat down in turn. Xu Xiao was the first to ask:
"I wonder what Mr. Shang wants to talk to me about? Is it because my Beiliang Palace has not been hospitable enough during this period?"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"It is a great opportunity for us to read books in Tingchao Pavilion. We also have no shortage of food, clothing or daily necessities. How dare we ask for anything else?

This time, I went to the prince to refine a medicine called the Nine-transformation Soul-Restoring Pill. This is the required medicinal material. It is this pill that can help the princess' corpse recover its vitality and merge her soul with her body!"

Xu Xiao raised his eyebrows and said:
"Nine-turn Resurrection Pill?"

Shang Yi said confidently:
"Yes, it is this pill! Nine Transformations to Resurrection. If a person has died within seven days and the body is intact, this pill can bring the person back to life. No merit or luck is needed!
And if one has enough merit and luck, plus the soul and body, one can be successfully resurrected after more than seven days!"

Xu Xiao sighed:
“I didn’t expect there are such elixirs in the world!”

Shang Yi said confidently:
"Of course, otherwise how would my business building have the confidence to bring the princess back to life? After all, my business building is here to make friends with Beiliang, not to make enemies!"

Xu Xiao's mind moved. This Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill can bring the dead back to life within seven days. It can be said to be a life-saving pill!
Moreover, he also thought of the person under the Tingchao Pavilion. If he could use this opportunity to save the green-robed man...

However, Xu Xiao still shook his head in his heart. After all, Wu Su was able to be resurrected because her soul remained in Fengnian's body, but Lupaoer did not. This was also what Shang Yi told Nangong Pushe at the beginning.

Xu Xiao was well aware of Nangong Pushe's potential. If he could save her mother, Nangong Pushe would be loyal and would never betray him. However, Shang Yi did not make such a promise, which meant that this method was not of much use to someone whose soul had been scattered, unless one could gather a trace of his soul!
However, Xu Xiao was still tempted by the effectiveness of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill. This pill was not only useful for saving lives, but it was also perfect for faking death and escaping in their officialdom!

Then he said to Shang Yi:

"Okay, I will use all the power of Beiliang to find medicinal materials for the business building and refine the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"Your Highness, don't feel pressured. My business building has the main ingredient in the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill recipe. However, the auxiliary ingredients require herbs of a higher age and in larger quantities, so your Highness needs to contribute. My business building has only been in the Central Plains for a few years, and after all, it is not as deep as the Northern Liang!"

Shang Yi spoke very frankly about the lack of Shang Building's foundation, but Xu Xiao did not dare to underestimate Shang Yi. After all, Shang Yi came to the Liyang Dynasty alone, and he was able to withstand heavy pressure and build such a large family business in Liyang. It was definitely not an easy task!

Moreover, Li Yishan also said that although he could not see through Shang Yi, his strength was definitely the best in the world. The people around him, not to mention Nangong Pushe, who would be the best in the future, Ruan Yushu, Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi and others were all very extraordinary! (End of this chapter)
