From the gate of heaven

Chapter 127 [Cultivation of elixir, world view]

After completing the practice of the Awakening Method, Lin Ze immediately began to try to practice the Nine Transformations of Condensation.

With the practice of this secret method, the inner energy in Lin Ze's body began to flow according to a unique qi path, constantly expanding and then shrinking in the meridians and acupuncture points of the whole body. Every nine times of expansion and curling is a cycle. .

From Lin Ze's inner observation, he could clearly feel that his inner breath became purer and more powerful as a cycle of practice ended.

There is a feeling of slowly hammering iron ore into refined iron and then into steel.

If the Qiaoqiao method is to dig a reservoir to become larger and larger to accommodate more water flow called inner breath, then the Nine Transformations of Condensation is to turn the water in the reservoir into sugar water. Turn into fat, into something richer in energy and strength.

This makes the same water flow burst out with more powerful energy.

"Ji Qingyan once said before that her inner breath is a hundred times stronger than mine. I am already close to the state of Ningzhen. Her inner breath is already abundant among warriors. Her inner breath is still stronger than mine. A hundred times, I thought it was an exaggeration.”

"Now it seems that this is not an exaggeration, but a realistic description. When I practice the enlightenment method and the nine turns of Ningzhen to great success, and then break through to the realm of Yun Shen, my inner breath will be better than usual when I first entered Ningzhen. A warrior in the true realm is a hundred times more powerful."

Lin Ze realized the changes in his body, and a feeling of enlightenment gradually emerged in his heart.

"It's just that the energy and blood consumption is a bit high."

Lin Ze stopped practicing and glanced at several empty medicine bottles beside him. He had already consumed all the pulse-cleansing and Qi-strengthening pills in the process of practicing.

In the past, Lin Ze's consumption of elixirs for practicing martial arts in a day was only 30 taels of silver, but now the daily consumption suddenly increased several times, reaching about 150 taels of silver.

This was Lin Ze's purchase of medicinal materials from two worlds, which reduced the cost of medicinal materials by half. If all the medicinal materials were purchased in another world to refine the elixir, then the value of the medicinal materials Lin Ze consumed this time would be 300 taels of silver.

Just like Ji Qingyan said before, as the cultivation level reaches the state of condensation, the daily diet can at most maintain the body's consumption. If you want to progress in cultivation, you must take elixir.

"Next, we need to refine a brand new elixir."

Lin Ze thought about it, got up, went to his computer, opened a hidden folder, and found a file called a prescription.

This folder contains the prescriptions that Lin Ze secretly photographed from the Mingyue Tower prescriptions. There are elixirs suitable for the practice of various martial arts realms.

I was busy practicing before, so I didn't refine any new medicine, so I used the Pulse Cleansing Qi Strengthening Pill.

In the next period of time, the pulse-cleansing and Qi-strengthening elixir cannot be stopped. This thing helps to temper the meridians and speed up the Qi refining. However, in order to make up for the consumption of one's own Qi and blood, it needs to be taken together with several other elixirs.

After a little rummaging, Lin Ze quickly came up with a plan.

Next, Lin Ze plans to refine two new elixirs. One of them is called Yuehua Jingyuan Dan. The effect of this elixir is very simple and direct. It is to make up for the warrior's energy and blood, and it is extremely easy to absorb. , which is perfect for Lin Ze to practice at this moment.

There is also an elixir called Mingyue Shen Yangshen Pill. The effect of this elixir is to nourish the mind and replenish the brain. It is suitable for assisting the cultivation of warriors in the Yun Shen realm. Lin Ze's current state does not have the need for this elixir. , but he has already opened up his spiritual power with the help of the strengthening of Zhutian Sect.

Normally exercising mental power and using the portable space consume a lot of mental power, so equipping this elixir can help speed up Lin Ze's mental recovery and allow him to use more energy and blood for the practice of internal skills.

After selecting the elixir, Lin Ze began to get busy.

First, he disguised his identity and went to various places in the main world and other worlds to buy medicinal materials, and then came back and started cooking elixirs.

Soon, two brand new elixirs were successfully refined and Lin Ze rolled them into small pills.

Then, start taking the three elixirs separately.

Not long after, the elixir took effect, and Lin Ze could clearly feel his whole body was shaken, and an endless stream of energy began to flow through his body.

With the blessing of this energy, Lin Ze began to practice.

The Awakening Technique, the nine turns of essence condensation, was practiced alternately, and Qi and blood were consumed rapidly, but the feeling of a steady stream of energy did not diminish by half. No matter how hard Lin Ze practiced, he never felt exhausted.

When Lin Ze's practice ended, the much stronger inner energy in his body began to flow throughout his body, warming his bones, flesh, and internal organs, causing his body to gradually transform and become stronger.

"The three elixirs do not interfere with each other and have complementary effects. They are taken five times a day three times a day, which means I have to take 45 pills a day, all in a medicine jar."

"However, using these three elixirs is more effective than simply taking the pulse-cleansing and Qi-strengthening pills, and it is also more economical. According to the price I purchased the medicinal materials from the two worlds, the cost per day is only 80 taels of silver. But if it is all in To buy medicinal materials in another world, it will cost about 150 taels."

Lin Ze tried the two newly refined elixirs and evaluated them in his mind.

"For the time being, there is no shortage of skills and plenty of elixirs. The next thing to do is to practice step by step and wait for a breakthrough in cultivation."

After finishing all this, Lin Ze settled down.

In the realm of condensation, one has a strong body and can live to be 30 to [-] years old without any illness or disaster, and will still be light and healthy before natural death.

Lin Ze is only young now, which means he still has at least 100 years to live.

In the next 100 years, Lin Ze's cultivation will continue to break through, and he will finally break through to the realm of heaven and man, with a guaranteed lifespan of 60 years. This is still a warrior who fights every day and loses too much energy and blood. life span.

If you are good at maintaining your health, it is natural for you to live to be over 200 years old like Taizu Taizu.

"Theoretically, I still have 200 years before death."

"After such a long time, whether you are looking for a different world with immortality technology, or investing in the research of immortality technology yourself, you can achieve results. The next thing to do is to work hard to live to two hundred years old, and then borrow 500 more from the sky. Year."

"Then, you can step up the ladder to eternal life."

Thinking about these things, Lin Ze focused on his career again.
-
December 12, Fengping County.

Lin Ze and Xu Sheng discussed together how to make money from the Western Region trade routes. "Ziyi, this is the plan I have come up with these days."

Xu Sheng handed a document to Lin Ze.

To solve the matter in the Western Region, from the inception to the arrangement to the end, it took a long time.

When Lin Ze solved the matter in the Western Region, he had already asked Xu Sheng to come up with a specific plan to make money from the escort agency. When Lin Ze needed it now, Xu Sheng could naturally come up with the results at once.

Lin Ze began to read the document to see the plan proposed by Xu Sheng.

The first is the charging standard, five thousandths, which means that for transporting goods worth 1 taels, you must pay an escort fee of 50 taels. If you are robbed, the escort agency will compensate you according to the price.

Then there is the most important handover method. The caravan that wants to transport goods through the Western Regions first registers with the Yueque Escort Bureau how much value of goods it wants to transport on this trip to the Western Regions, and then writes these contents into a route guide.

The caravan was heading to the Western Regions with a guide. Many major forces in the Western Region, who were convinced by Lin Ze, checked the routes of passing caravans within their own spheres of influence.

For the caravan without a guide, the big forces in the Western Regions plundered it and no one could help them reason. For the caravan with a guide, the big forces inspected its goods to see if there were too many goods. Just snatch it away, and then share the profits with Yue Que Escort Agency.

In this case, the caravan would make a small profit by attracting the major forces in the Western Region, while the caravan would directly make a profit by attracting money from the major forces in the Western Region, thus eliminating the possibility of collusion between them.

Of course, we cannot purely rely on the consciousness of these major forces in the Western Region. The Yueque Escort Bureau still has to send out some people to supervise the normal operation of the entire trade route. Once it is discovered that the caravan or the major forces in the Western Region do not abide by the rules, they can Notify Lin Ze at any time to start killing people.

During the whole process, all the people doing the work were the big forces in the Western Region, and the caravans were doing the business hard, and Yue Que Escort Bureau was purely responsible for collecting the money.

It can be seen from this money-making plan that this is pure violence trafficking.

"Brother Xu, your plan is a variation of the regular method of making money for an escort agency. A normal escort agency will also recruit various forces and bandit gangs on the journey of escorting. It has the same purpose as this."

Lin Ze looked at this money-making plan and commented sharply.

Xu Sheng smiled and said: "That's true. This is how our escort agency makes money."

Lin Ze nodded and said: "There is no big problem with the whole plan, but the only problem is that the escort fee is too low. Let's just increase it from five thousandths to ten percent. I recently learned about the Western Region in detail. Things about Ezei.”

"To the west of the Western Region, beyond the Gobi that stretches for hundreds of miles, is another continent suitable for survival. This side of the Great Zhou Dynasty is called the Central Plains, and the other side is called the Far West Continent. Over there There are hundreds of countries, and each country produces rare and rare treasures.”

"Many caravans pass through the Gobi trade route and go to the far west to transport treasures back. The profits will be ten times or even dozens of times. Even if the money spent on managing various forces along the way is deducted, there are still risks on the road. It’s also a huge profit. After charging this [-]%, they still have a huge profit.”

When Xu Sheng heard this, he nodded clearly and didn't say anything more about the [-]% escort power.

Then he became curious about another thing: "Zi Yi, since the land in the far west can accommodate hundreds of countries and is rich in products, why don't we, the Great Zhou, send out a large army to defeat it? With the martial arts of my Great Zhou, , it’s easy to sweep across this land, right?”

Lin Ze shook his head and said: "It's not that you can't fight, but it's not necessary."

First of all, it must be clear that the purpose of ruling an area is to collect taxes and make money.

The territory of a unified dynasty in a farming society has its limits. The limit lies in the area that the army can reach within a month, which is generally ten thousand miles.

Within this scope, if a rebellion occurs, the army can quickly rush to quell the chaos. This can ensure the internal order of the unified dynasty, and can steadily receive taxes from this scope of rule every year to provide for the ruler's personal life and maintain rule. Used.

Even if the area is conquered, it can be ruled in name, but the huge military expenditure will make it useless to rule this area.

This is the same even for the Zhou Dynasty, which has such extraordinary power in martial arts. Masters can easily cross tens of thousands of miles to sweep distant countries. How can the army get there?

You can't let masters rule an area with some of their elite soldiers. What's the difference between letting these masters go out to separate their own territories?
In this case, the Zhou Dynasty only maintained a territory of more than ten thousand miles, and was not very interested in farther ranges. However, it could not allow other competitors to appear, so it would pose a threat to other countries in the world. Power is treated like leeks.

Going to harvest regularly not only brings benefits to yourself, but also prevents these extraterritorial alien races from developing and posing a threat to the Central Plains region.

The miserable alien races in the grasslands, the countries in the Western Regions, the barbarians in the Hengduan Mountains, and the hundreds of countries in the far west are all caused by the national policy of regular harvesting of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But if the Zhou Dynasty had industrial power and could quickly transport troops to the ends of the earth, then the situation would be different. At this time, it would be a natural need to unify the world, bring the whole world under management, and end all chaos.

"Except for the Far West, there are other human settlements in the world. In fact, there is no force that can compete with the Great Zhou. The advanced civilizations in these places are basically all used by experts from the Great Zhou who want to earn cultivation resources. They harvest regularly and have been maintained from the tribal stage to the stage of primary agricultural society."

"The only civilized place in the world is the Great Zhou."

Finally, Lin Ze revealed something he had learned recently.

After becoming curious about the land in the far west, Lin Ze used Zhutianmen to calculate the coordinates, opened up human settlements in other areas of the world, and discovered this.

After hearing the twists and turns of Lin Ze's explanation, Xu Sheng suddenly said: "No wonder the countries in the Western Regions have been plundering the caravans and the Zhou Dynasty has no idea of ​​destroying their country. If the country is destroyed and it is not ruled, new ones will come back. It is better to maintain the status quo as a deterrent than to plunder the power.”

Lin Ze nodded, and then said: "Brother Xu, go and start making money on the Western Region Trade Route."

Xu Sheng nodded seriously and agreed.

He originally thought that it would take him many years to become independent after following Lin Ze, but he did not expect that Lin Ze would bring him such a big surprise.

In just a few months, the intimidation power brought by Lin Ze alone was able to suppress the countries in the Western Region, and he also used this to gain prestige.

The topic is over.

Next, Xu Sheng went to work.

Lin Ze is also busy here. In order to obtain good luck, he needs to open a fertilizer factory to increase food production.
