Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 86 The Way of Hiring
Zhenyuan Daxian was second only to the saints, and Ao Bing had no chance of competing with him. Therefore, he had to give up on reshaping the prehistoric land and settle for the next best thing, which was to sort out the prehistoric land veins.

Although the merits gained from combing the earth veins are far less than reshaping the earth, the difficulty of combing the earth veins is also much lower than reshaping the earth.

In addition, Ao Bing’s main purpose is to increase the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and merit is just a by-product.

Since combing the earth's veins can also increase spiritual energy and is easier to do, he would definitely choose to comb the earth's veins rather than the more difficult method of reshaping the earth.

With Zhen Yuan Daxian's strength second only to that of a saint, he has been working hard from the early ancient times to the present, but he has not succeeded in reshaping the prehistoric land. He has only restored a part of it. This shows how difficult this task is, and it is definitely not something Ao Bing can do.

"Fortunately, you were talking about sorting out the earth veins instead of reshaping the primitive land. Otherwise, I don't know how to give an explanation to Taoist Zhenyuan."

Tong Tian Jiaozhu was really relieved at this time. He was really afraid that Ao Bing would say that he wanted to reshape the prehistoric land.

If this is the case, then it will be troublesome. In order to restore the ancient land, Zhen Yuanzi has already created a lineage of earth immortals.

In this situation, if you compete with him for this great merit, not to mention whether you can snatch it away, once this matter gets out, the entire Xuanmen will be in chaos.

Merits that are not in your hands can be taken away if they are stolen. But if you force people to spit out the merits that have already been in their mouths, that is too much.

Even if you are a saint, you cannot bully others like this!
By then, the crowd will be excited, and although they still cannot do anything to the saint, they can go to Zixiao Palace to complain to the Taoist Ancestor.

If such a shameful thing were to be brought before the Taoist Patriarch, Tongtian would certainly be reprimanded.

Therefore, if Ao Bing dared to snatch this opportunity from Zhen Yuanzi, even if Tongtian Sect Master valued him, he would not help him and might even scold him.

"Master, you are joking. I am not someone who is out of touch with the news. The Earth Immortal lineage is developing rapidly at the junction of the East and West of the prehistoric world."

"Not only did it stop the spread of the desolate atmosphere in the West, it even improved the environment in the West. This move is truly a great deed."

"Since I know all this, how dare I compete with Zhenyuan Daxian for this merit."

Ao Bing knew what Master Tongtian was worried about and explained with a smile.

The lineage of earth immortals is stationed at the junction of the east and west of the prehistoric world, practicing the method of creating a blessed land, and improving the barren land into a holy place for cultivation.

It can be said that the earth immortals have already used ready-made examples to firmly grasp the merit of repairing the prehistoric land. Unless a more efficient method emerges, no one can snatch this merit away from them.

In fact, there are more efficient ways. Refer to how Ao Bing repaired the starry sky and make slight modifications, and it can also be applied to the earth.

However, everything should be done in moderation. Even if you want to treat the monks as leeks, you can't cut them like that.

It would be fine to just cut once to repair the starry sky, but if you cut again to repair the earth, it would probably damage the roots of the immortals, and it would be difficult to continue cutting in the future.

Ao Bing can only choose one of the two methods. Since it is used to repair the starry sky, he should use the earthly immortal method of Zhen Yuan Daxian to repair the earth.

Although the efficiency is low, it is safer.

"It's good that you know. Let's talk about combing the earth veins. This is indeed a meritorious act. If you add them together, it won't be difficult to produce a quasi-saint. But the problem is that combing the earth veins is not as simple as you think."

"The earth veins are the meridians of the earth. If they are unobstructed, the earth energy can form a cycle, transforming all the foul and turbid air between heaven and earth into spiritual veins, thereby generating more spiritual energy."

"But because of the monks' fierce competition, they often fight to the point that mountains and rivers shift and the land sinks. This will cause the earth's energy to become unbalanced, and then it will stagnate and block the earth's veins."

"When the earth veins are blocked, the circulation of the earth energy will be affected and gradually it will be unable to form a cycle. In this way, without the circulating earth energy to transform the turbid air and foul air between heaven and earth, they will accumulate more and more."

"When there is too much turbid air, it will first pollute the spiritual veins, so that they can no longer produce spiritual energy. Then it will breed all kinds of poisons, monsters, fierce creatures, and even all kinds of dangerous situations, disturbing the world."

"If you want to clear the earth veins, you must first kill the evil creatures and monsters bred by these turbid air and then eliminate them to restore the smooth flow of the earth veins."

"However, the cultivation base of these monsters is not weak, and there are quite a few Daluo Jinxian. Without a strong cultivation base, not only will you be unable to eliminate them, but you will be killed by them and lose your life."

"Even if you have a strong cultivation base and are not afraid of these monsters, it is useless. Because compared to killing them, eliminating the foul air and foul qi is the most difficult."

"The turbid qi is turbid and can damage the human body. The foul qi is filthy and can damage the human soul. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful when eliminating them. If you are not careful, they will pollute your soul and body, ruining your cultivation."

"Your senior brother is known for his many treasures, but has anyone ever seen him use any magic weapons? It's not that he doesn't have any, but all his magic weapons are destroyed."

"When the Emperor of Earth was combing the earth veins, he was on the verge of death several times. It was all thanks to your senior brother who used magic weapons to extend his life, which made him achieve merit."

"Just imagine, even the Emperor of Earth had to face death several times when combing the earth veins. If someone else was to comb the earth veins, I'm afraid they would die before they could get any merit."

"It is true that you have the merit of repairing the stars, so even if you encounter danger, you will most likely be fine. But it would be a waste to spend the merit you have worked so hard to get on this."

Tongtian thought about it and advised. He admitted that combing the earth veins was a great merit, but he did not agree with Ao Bing's doing so. Because it was too dangerous, the Emperor of the Earth almost died in this, let alone Ao Bing.

Even if he is lucky enough not to die, I am afraid that all the merits gained from reshaping the starry sky will be spent on this, which is such a loss.

"Master, you have misunderstood. Although I am willing to comb through the earth veins, I have no intention of doing it myself."

"As the saying goes, money can make the gods go crazy. I created currency for this very moment. When I have enough money, I will offer a reward and ask someone to help me sort out the veins of the earth."

"In this way, we can sort out the land veins and save the risk of adventure. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"At the same time, my disciples paying people to do good deeds can't be considered as taking advantage of others. After all, I'm not asking them to do bad things. Combing the earth veins is a real merit."

"They combed the earth veins, getting money from me and merit from the Heavenly Dao. It can be said to be a win-win situation."

"Everything has its own merits. They have gained so much, so it is reasonable for them to take some risks."

Ao Bing knew that there were risks in combing the earth veins, so from the beginning he had no intention of doing it himself, but was prepared to hire people.

Ao Bing was already rich, and after he had the Star Refining Pot, he would become even richer. Since he was so rich, why would he take the risk and hire someone to comb the earth veins?

Although doing so would result in him gaining less merit than doing it himself, it would only account for a small part of the merit of combing the earth veins. The rest would be shared with those he hired to comb the earth veins.

But it doesn't matter. Less merit means less. At least it's safe and there's no need to take risks. Besides, even if he only gets a small part of the merit of combing the earth veins, it's not a small amount. Moreover, these people took his money and got merit, so they must be grateful to him. With this kindness, when Ao Bing needs it, he only needs to raise his arms and call them, and they will definitely respond.

"you……"

Tongtian Patriarch was stunned, and was once again shocked by Ao Bing's bold move. He had never thought that things could be done this way, not doing it himself, but spending money to hire someone to do it.

He wanted to say that Ao Bing was wrong to do this, but after thinking about it, he couldn't say it out loud. Because he knew very well that if Ao Bing didn't spend the money to offer a reward, the immortals in the world would never take the risk to comb the earth veins.

Everyone knows that there are merits to be gained by combing the veins of the earth, but this matter is too dangerous. The merits given by heaven are not enough for immortals to take this risk.

But if Ao Bing's promise is added, it will be a different story. When the gain far outweighs the risk, the immortal is willing to take the risk.

For immortals, there is nothing that is impossible to do. If there is, it is only because the benefits are too small for them to take the risk.

If the benefits are great enough, then again, life and death are nothing. At worst, you can just reincarnate and start all over again.

Ao Bing hired people to comb the earth's veins, which could be described as tempting people with benefits. Although it sounds unpleasant, it is indeed useful.

The starry sky is being repaired. At this time, if the veins on the ground are combed again, the two benefits will be superimposed together. Tongtian Sect Master simply dare not imagine what kind of changes this will bring to the prehistoric world.

You have to know that the prehistoric world is a whole. All things do not exist independently, but are interconnected. One move can affect the whole body.

Therefore, repairing the starry sky and combing the earth's veins will not only affect the starry sky and the earth, but will involve all aspects of the prehistoric world.

After the earth veins are combed, the fortune on the earth will increase. At this time, the cultivation of the earth immortals will become easier, and then they will speed up the pace of repairing the primitive land.

Similarly, part of the power that the starry sky draws from chaos will be used to repair the broken earth.

With so much power working together to repair the earth, it will inevitably make the earth stronger and stronger, and the earth energy it emits will become more and more abundant, which will then give rise to more innate spiritual veins and creations.

At this time, with the increase of fortune, the cultivator's practice speed will become faster and faster, thereby creating more stars and further repairing the starry sky.

The faster the starry sky recovers, the more chaotic power it absorbs...

This has formed a cycle. As long as it continues to cycle, the ancient world will become more and more powerful, and all aspects will be improved. The golden age of cultivation that cultivators have long dreamed of will come again sooner or later.

"Remember to give more money. After all, combing the earth veins is still too dangerous. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger."

"Well, I will pass on to you a sutra for saving people. If someone dies due to combing the earth veins, you will recite this sutra on my behalf to protect them and help them reincarnate safely so that they can start over again."

Master Tongtian thought a lot, and finally, considering the benefits involved, he did not stop Ao Bing, but only told him to give more money, so as to gain more benefits for those poor immortals.

In addition, he also wanted to teach Ao Bing a sutra for saving people, so that he could save the souls of those monks who died while combing the earth veins.

"Master, please be merciful! On behalf of those monks, I would like to thank you for your kindness."

Hearing this, Ao Bing could not help but be moved, and sincerely thanked Tong Tian Jiaozhu. There was nothing special about the Sutra of Deliverance, but what was special was Tong Tian Jiaozhu's words, "Recite this Sutra on behalf of the Master."

What this sentence means is that the leader of Tongtian Sect will personally save them and protect them in their reincarnation.

The treatment of being personally saved by a saint is considered the best in the prehistoric world. Even if their bodies and souls have been destroyed, a trace of their true spirit will be forced to condense for reincarnation and return in a stronger form in the next life.

This already means that the saint has made a great wish to protect those who are combing the veins of the earth.

In fact, after Master Tongtian said this, even if Ao Bing didn't spend any money, there would be a lot of immortals willing to take the initiative to sort out the veins of the earth.

However, since Master Tongtian had already said that Ao Bing should spend a little more money to hire someone, then he would definitely do as he was told, and just consider it as spending money to publicize the Master's compassion.

"Hey, don't talk about mercy or anything like that. I have taught so many disciples, but you are the only one I feel tired of."

"Look at what's going on. How come such a good deed has become like this in your hands?"

Master Tongtian said tiredly that he was really scared by Ao Bing because his idea was too novel.

"Master, I haven't finished yet. Combing the earth veins is just the beginning. I have another purpose. That is to collect the essence of the earth veins while combing the earth veins, so as to draw a distribution map of the earth veins in the prehistoric world."

Ao Bing felt a little embarrassed by what Tongtian said, but thinking of his plan, he still continued speaking.

"Drawing a distribution map of the prehistoric earth veins? What's the purpose? Next time, remember to finish your story at once. Don't leave half of it unsaid. This is a bad habit."

Tongtian Patriarch glared at Ao Bing unhappily and said, "Every time you speak, you only say half of what you want to say and leave the other half for later use, as if you were teasing him on purpose."

"It's nothing, but I think it's too troublesome to comb the earth veins every once in a while. It's better to solve this problem once and for all."

"According to what I have thought, we need to collect the essence of the earth veins from various places, use it as raw material, and add the power of heaven to refine it into a magic weapon, which is the distribution map of the earth veins in the wild."

"After this treasure is refined, the earth vein distribution map on the map is called a distribution map, but in fact it is a microcosm of the prehistoric earth veins."

"In this way, if there are any problems with the ground veins in the future, we can find out about them immediately through this map."

"At the same time, this can also prevent the earth veins from becoming blocked again, thus saving the trouble of combing the earth veins again and again."

"Of course, these are just my ideas. I am not sure whether they can be realized or not, so I came to ask Master for advice."

"If it doesn't work, then just pretend that I never said anything. If it does work, then since we can draw a map of the prehistoric earth veins, can we also draw a map of the prehistoric water veins, mountain ranges, spirit veins, and maps..."

This time Ao Bing didn't dare to hide anything and spoke out all his thoughts in one breath.

　My cousin is getting married tomorrow and will move to another city. I ran 400 kilometers today to attend the wedding. I was a bit busy and had time to write.

　　However, there will be no problem with tomorrow's update, but the afternoon update may be delayed. I'm forewarning in advance.
