From the gate of heaven

Chapter 124 [With hundreds of millions of people nearby, be polite first and then fight]

"Lin Ze, you are now at the pinnacle of Tongmai cultivation and are breaking through to the realm of condensation. You should be able to feel that the strength of your flesh, blood, muscles, bones and internal organs is increasing day by day under the warmth and tempering of the inner breath?"

At this time, Ji Qingyan asked Lin Ze.

Because Lin Ze's bratty tone made her break her guard, she stopped calling out Lin Ze's cousin at this time.

After all, the truth is the sharpest knife, and the truth is the most hurtful.

"Well, it's like this. The inner breath is also transforming, going through the process of virtualization, real refinement, and falsehood becoming real."

"In about ten days and a half, the breakthrough will be completed."

Lin Ze nodded, not paying attention to Ji Qingyan's rudeness.

After all, his deliberately provocative words just now were also very rude.

However, the effect is still very significant, at least now Ji Qingyan's mood is fluctuating, and she is no longer as completely rational as before, looking like a cold fairy.

Making people angry is obviously a good way to leave an impression.

"When you break through the realm of Ningzhen, your body will reach the level of copper tendons and iron bones. You will not be afraid of cold or heat, and will be hard to be harmed by ordinary swords and crossbows. However, correspondingly, you will consume a lot of energy and blood just by being alive every day. You will eat at most Just be content with physical consumption.”

"If you want to make progress in your practice, you need to take powerful elixirs to replenish your qi and blood. This will allow your body to support your continued practice. Otherwise, your body will only become weaker and weaker."

"Especially when one reaches the realm of Yun Shen in cultivation, not only the body will further transform, but the spirit will also begin to transform and grow. Refining qi and transforming into a god also requires the support of a lot of qi and blood, which will further intensify the consumption of qi and blood in the body."

"When I was in the Ningzhen realm, the elixir I consumed every day was worth more than a hundred taels of silver. Now that I have reached the Yunshen realm, the elixir I need every day is worth more than 300 taels."

"The expenditure of hundreds of taels of silver every day is nothing, but if it is done non-stop all year round, this expenditure is extremely terrifying. It is extremely rare for me to be able to save 20 taels of silver."

"I advise you to practice hard, otherwise after a hundred years, I will still be prosperous and prosperous, but you will be old."

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Ze dissatisfied and taunted Lin Ze in return for letting her break through her defense just now.

"Isn't that right? What kind of elixirs are you taking? It's so expensive. The elixirs I use to assist in my practice are pretty good. The cost in a day is only a dozen taels of silver. Even if I practice to the realm of Yun Shen , even if the consumption increases ten times, it will not reach the daily consumption of several hundred taels."

Lin Ze keenly felt that something was wrong with Ji Qingyan's consumption of elixirs.

"Hmph, how do you know that you can still have enlightenment after clearing the meridians? Ningzhen is divided into nine levels."

"The so-called enlightenment means in-depth practice and tempering of a total of 365 Zhoutian acupoints and 780 hidden apertures in the body, so that more physical potential can be developed and a stronger foundation can be built. The external manifestation is a stronger body and a stronger internal body. The breath is deeper than the same level."

"The Nine Transformations of Condensation is to refine one's own inner energy nine times, making it extremely pure and making one's own true energy more powerful."

"And these practices are extremely depleting of energy and blood, and a large amount of elixirs are needed to make up for the consumption of energy and spirit."

"This is my royal family's secret method. Only after you practice this to make up for your foundation, can you rely on your own cultivation to become a heavenly master. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to reach the level of a peerless master. Unless you use heavenly materials and earthly treasures, there is only a slight chance of cultivation. Breakthrough goes one step further.”

Ji Qingyan said coldly.

Seeing Lin Ze defeated, Ji Qingyan, who had just been defeated, felt very happy and had a sense of superiority over Lin Ze in her professional field.

Lin Ze didn't feel like he was being shown off, but was actually a little surprised.

Because this was brand-new cultivation knowledge that he had not learned at all at Mingyue Tower, and had not even heard a few words about it.

Originally I just wanted to tease Ji Qingyan, but I didn't expect such a surprise.

"I see, please teach me, Your Highness the Princess."

"This is a tuition fee of [-] million yuan, please accept it."

At this time, Lin Ze didn't mince words and directly asked with a smile.

At the same time, he took out a gold bank note from his pocket with 10 million yuan written on it. With this note, he could directly exchange it for [-] million copper coins at the bank, equivalent to [-] taels of silver.

Considering the perennial money shortage in farming society, Lin Ze's popularity of 10 million yuan is definitely higher than that of [-] taels of silver.

"what?"

Ji Qingyan didn't expect Lin Ze to be so direct.

She said it was a secret method of the royal family and would not be spread easily, but she did not expect that Lin Ze would still ask to learn it.

But then I thought about it, if Lin Ze could quell the troubles in the surrounding areas, increase food production, and help the court significantly increase tax revenue, then his emperor brother would also agree to Lin Ze's request to learn these secret techniques.

After all, in the past, the royal family would grant secret cultivation techniques like this to meritorious ministers from time to time.

If she spreads the news now, it is not considered illegal. Maybe she can win over Lin Ze to establish a deeper relationship with him, so as to facilitate subsequent cooperation.

"Since Ziyi is so sincere in pursuing his studies, then I can do anything for him."

Ji Qingyan took the bill handed over by Lin Ze, the ice and snow on her face melted, and she spoke with a smile.

Next, Ji Qingyan started teaching directly.

She waved her hand and began to write out the "Acupoint Awakening Method" and the "Nine Transformations of Condensing the Reality" from memory. These two secret methods contained a lot of content and the warming and nourishing acupoints that Lin Ze had learned before. The methods of Qi coincide.

But there are more brand-new things among them that Lin Ze has not learned and experienced at this moment.

Theoretically speaking, if these two secret techniques are successfully practiced, it can greatly increase the depth of Lin Ze's inner energy and physical strength, making him more powerful among warriors of the same level.

"Ziyi, these two secret techniques can be practiced after you break through to Ningzhen."

"Before you practice, you must be careful to prepare more elixirs to replenish your qi and blood. Otherwise, practicing this method will only be harmful and useless. Do you need me to give you a prescription?"

Finally, Ji Qingyan warned.

"I will prepare the elixir, but there is no need for the prescription."

Lin Ze nodded in agreement.

He won't be in a hurry to practice this secret technique. He will first find a test subject to make sure there will be no problems.

As for the elixirs that replenish qi and blood and assist in cultivation, he has collected many prescriptions at Mingyue Tower, but there is no need to get another untrustworthy prescription from Ji Qingyan.

"How was Lin Ziyi's chat with you?"

After Lin Ze left, Ji Kan appeared in the study again.

Ji Qingyan recalled the previous scene and answered truthfully: "It's not very pleasant. What he said was a bit uncomfortable, but the cooperation in business went very smoothly. Let's prepare gold, silver and manpower first. Lin Ziyi It also takes some time to prepare there.”

Seeing his sister pretending to be stupid, Ji Kan said, "Qingyan, have you forgotten that this ship is only so big. I heard you paid Lin Ze to teach him secret techniques."

Ji Qingyan was short of money to practice martial arts, and he was also short of money.Ji Qingyan could teach him just as much as the opening method and the Nine Transformations of Condensation.

"Brother, with Lin Ze's talents and achievements, it is only a matter of time before he is praised by the Emperor. There is nothing wrong with me teaching him the secret method. Even if the Emperor knows about it, he will praise me for knowing how to cherish talents."

Ji Qingyan said nothing about money.

"Does Lin Ziyi know that you only taught him the method of consolidating the foundation of the realm of condensation, but you did not teach him the secret method of practicing in the realm of Yun Shen, and the method of condensing Gang Qi in the realm of Gang Qi? If any of the meritorious disciples come up with it The tuition fee of 10 taels is enough to learn a peerless magical skill."

"You just gave him part of the secret of Fenrun's peerless magical power."

Ji Kan's words contained threats, saying that Ji Qingyan would sow discord if she didn't give him the benefits.

If Lin Ze looks for trouble then, it will be Ji Qingyan who is embarrassed.

Advanced martial arts are generally not taught to outsiders, but for heroes who are qualified to learn, the value is just that.

If you want to become a peerless master or even a heavenly master, your skills are very important, but what is more important is abundant resources and personal talent.

"Thirty percent for you."

Ji Qingyan had to come up with some benefits to seal her brother's mouth.

At this time, Ji Kan nodded with satisfaction.
-
The main world, the trading base of the two worlds.

Lin Ze closed the Heavenly Gate that was spying on the Ji Kan brother and sister, and whispered in his heart: "It seems that there is no tampering with the secrets of practice, but we have to be careful. Let's find a guinea pig and give it a try."

As he spoke, Lin Ze opened a brand new gate to the heavens, connecting the coordinates of the western part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The next moment, a scene of yellow sand filling the sky behind the door appeared in front of Lin Ze.

This is the Western Region. Several small countries and some warrior forces form the entire ecological circle of the Western Region, ruling the 200 million people in this area.

The drone flew out and began to inspect the scenery in this area.

Not only is it to find a guinea pig to help you test the authenticity of the two secret techniques, but the other purpose is to figure out the specific distribution of forces here and prepare for the next solution to your border troubles.

Next, before Lin Ze officially begins to pacify the grasslands and the Southern Barbarians, he needs to pacify the Western Region first.

There was no special reason, it was just a show of muscles, so that after the Zhou Dynasty had dealt with its own internal turmoil and saw the powerful force displayed by Lin Ze, they still did not dare to test him rashly. in state.

In the next few days, Lin Ze spent almost all his free time in the Western Region of the Zhou Dynasty.

The information I had seen in the data file corresponded to the actual terrain one by one.

From this, I gradually figured out the specific situation here.

In the Western Region, there are six small countries.

They are Baishui, Xingyang, Zhaoxia, Fengrong, Jianshi and Huangsha.

Beyond these six small countries is another continent.

Lin Ze didn't know what was at the end of the continent at the moment. According to the archives from the Zhou Dynasty, there should be a big country there, but in the area bordering six small countries, there was an endless stretch of Gobi desert.

In the Western Region, in addition to these six small countries, there are also three relatively large warrior forces.

One is the Huangsha Gate located in the Huangsha Kingdom, the second is the Tianshui Gate located in the White Water Kingdom, and the third is the Shuguang Sect, the largest warrior force in the Western Regions. This is a totem sect that worships the sun and is also the entire The largest sect in the Western Region.

Each of these three warrior forces has tens of thousands of disciples. Lin Ze does not yet know how powerful the strongest among them is, but there is no need to know.

Anyway, he had no intention of facing them head-on. No matter what level of masters they were, it didn't matter to Lin Ze. It was just a matter of increasing the impact if they couldn't be killed.

After figuring out these things, Lin Ze started to take action.

In Tianshui Gate, a 30-year-old martial arts idiot suddenly discovered that there were two more secret techniques on the table in his room.

Before he could delve into the origins of these two secret techniques, he was already unknowingly attracted by the contents on the paper and began to practice according to the guidance of the secret techniques.

Lin Ze hid behind the Zhutian Gate and watched this scene, nodding with satisfaction.

In a few days, we will see if there are any problems with this martial arts idiot's practice. If there are no problems and his skills have been improved, it will be time for Lin Ze to practice the two secret techniques obtained from Ji Qingyan.

After finishing this matter, Lin Ze began to pacify the Western Regions.

The drones roared past the capitals of the six countries in the Western Region and the sects of the three major warrior factions, leaving many leaflets behind.

The content of the leaflet is very simple. From today on, Zhiyuan Trading Company will take over the trade routes in the entire Western Region. Then all countries and sects need to arrive at Xishan, Guanwai Town, Shengyang, which borders the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Western Regions, on December 12st to visit Zhiyuan Trading Company. The owner Lin Ze.

If you fail to keep the appointment at the agreed time, you will be responsible for the consequences. Do not say that you were unprepared.

For a time, this incident spread throughout the Western Region, attracting the attention of all countries and sects.

People talked a lot, and finally several senior officials came up with the results.

Ignore it, just ignore it.

They have encountered similar things many times in their past inheritance, and no matter what this person wants to do secretly, he will eventually stand in front of them.

Even if the Zhou Dynasty wanted to attack them, they would have to drag the masters and armies in their faces to make them surrender.

If they are frightened into losing their minds, then they are not worthy of becoming the overlords who rule the Western Regions.

On December 12st, Zhenxi Mountain.

Lin Ze overlooked the scheduled location through a drone and found that in addition to spies from various forces, there were also some passers-by who came to see the excitement. None of the top officials from the six countries and three warrior forces he had notified came.

Lin Ze was not surprised by this result.

After all, he himself, as well as Zhiyuan Trading Company, are indeed unknown people in the world, so how can they have such great prestige that the overlords of the Western Regions can obey their orders.

"Very good, let's complete the ceremony first and then the troops."

Lin Ze whispered and started to take action.

He had previously invited many forces to discuss important matters as a courtesy, but they were shameless. Next, it was time to face Lin Ze's soldiers.

The Shuguang Sect, the faith and totem of the countries in the Western Regions, became the target of Lin Ze's power.

The Zhutian Gate opened high in the sky, and Lin Ze overlooked the sect and gave the order to attack.
