The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 175 Strength
Ji Xiaoshan glanced at the hazy ball that enveloped the three people, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Brother, please feel free to speak!" The Yellow Dragon God said with a smile, "Even if the Taoist Ancestor comes, he can't eavesdrop on our conversation with my treasure! Besides, what we are talking about are all known to everyone. I just think it is inconvenient for the Taoist disciples outside to know what we are talking about in public!"

"If that's the case, the privileges of us, the direct descendants of the Three Pure Ones, are so great, wouldn't those ordinary Taoist disciples have any thoughts?" Ji Xiaoshan asked curiously.

"What can they think?" The Yellow Dragon God smiled. "The effective operation method that our Taoist sect has explored over countless years is based on the principle that the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. Among the cultivators, only the powerful have the right to speak. Moreover, as for our direct descendants of the Three Pure Ones, our master, the Three Pure Ones Taoist Patriarch, is one of the founders of Taoism and the leader of Taoism. Most of the countless Taoist treasures in the Wandao Palace are the collections of our master. It was only after the ancient shattering war that we discussed with the Taoist masters and jointly established this mechanism and took out these Taoist treasures! Naturally, we have some privileges, so naturally no one can say anything!"

"As for the ordinary Taoist disciples, those with extraordinary talents will be selected out gradually, like a needle in a bag. We will also naturally give them some preferential treatment. Over time, our Taoist sect will become more and more prosperous!"

"The Dharma cannot be passed on lightly. I understand now. Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up my doubts." Ji Xiaoshan nodded.

A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the magic of the Wandao Palace must be extremely precious. Moreover, the Taoist collections taken out by the great Taoist masters are not ordinary in nature. If they are placed in the outside world, they are all extremely precious opportunities.

Now there is a fixed channel for these Taoist disciples to obtain it, which is also an opportunity. However, it is only an opportunity for Taoist disciples.

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the Yellow Dragon God and the Tianhua God and said, "Brother, I want to go to the Wandao Palace and take a look!"

“Uncle-master…” Tianhua God spoke upon hearing this.

“Junior Brother Tianhua, you can just go and do your own thing. I have nothing else to do, so I’ll take you around for a walk.” The Yellow Dragon God glanced at the gathered gods, demons, humans, monsters and other cultivators with a smile on his face, “You should know that countless years ago, when you were still here, I was the one guarding this Wandao Palace!”

"Okay! Then I'll have to trouble Master Huanglong!" Tianhua Tianshen bowed and thanked him. He turned to look at Ji Xiaoshan, "Master Qingping, please forgive me for my negligence!"

"It's okay. Junior Brother Tianhua, you just go about your business first!" Ji Xiaoshan said with a smile.

"Let's go, Junior Brother Qingping! I'll take you around the Wandao Palace first, and then I'll take you to the Shangong Hall and the Wanbao Palace to get familiar with the gates." The Huanglong God smiled slightly and waved his sleeves. The hazy sphere disappeared immediately, and then he walked towards the Wandao Palace.

……

Ji Xiaoshan followed the God Huanglong into the Wandao Palace. When he entered the first floor, he saw a row of tall bookshelves at the nearest corner. There were countless books on the shelves, and there was a line of large characters on one of the bookshelves.

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the words and whispered, "Do ten good deeds in the Hall of Good Deeds, and you can choose any one of them."

"Can I learn this method by doing ten good deeds?" Ji Xiaoshan was stunned and picked up a book at random. It turned out to be a fairy-level Qi training method.

"Senior Brother Huang Long, I have just talked about the Wandao Palace in detail, but the three major halls of my Taoist sect are all inseparable from good deeds. I wonder how to do these good deeds?" Ji Xiaoshan asked immediately.

"Speaking of the Wandao Palace and good deeds... since ancient times, there was no need to do this to obtain the secrets of the Dharma. Basically, every powerful person brought his own disciples, and there was no such method to test the disciples."

The Yellow Dragon God immediately laughed and said, "But later, the ancient world was shattered after a great war, and all the major forces in the Three Realms were severely damaged. A powerful person in my Taoist sect proposed to establish the next system to continuously train disciples."

"Among them, there is another extremely mysterious Taoist ancestor in the Three Realms. Patriarch Bodhi proposed a set of methods. When Master went to visit the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon of Taoist Patriarch Bodhi, he found that Taoist Patriarch Bodhi used this method to teach his disciples. Master thought that this method was quite unique, so he took it and improved it. After discussion and modification by the powerful people in our Taoist sect, we finally have the three major palaces today, and the operating mechanism of exchanging good deeds for the secrets of the method and the resources for cultivation."

Huanglong Tianshen said, "I heard that until now, Bodhi Patriarch still uses the original method. However, Bodhi Patriarch's disciples are not as many as my entire Taoist sect, nor are they as complicated as the entire Taoist sect, so it doesn't matter."

"There really is the shadow of Bodhi Daozu in this!" Ji Xiaoshan thought to himself, "I felt it was somewhat familiar when I first heard it, and it is indeed true!"

He knew that after Ji Ning became Bodhi's disciple, he studied Taoism in the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon. There was a Three Realms Palace and a Palace of Immortals, which were filled with various magical powers, methods, and secret techniques that Bodhi had collected over countless years, and this was one of the ways to obtain these Taoist treasures.

And what Huanglong Tianshen introduced just now... are somewhat similar.

"As for the way to obtain good merit, besides doing some hard work for our Dao Sect, you can also accept some tasks issued by the Good Merit Hall, or make contributions to Dao Sect, etc., all of which can earn you good merit. Even if you sell the magic weapons and precious materials you obtain to the Good Merit Hall, you can also exchange them for good merit. In short, just like Yuanye is to low-level cultivators, this good merit is equally important to all of our Dao Sect disciples."

"Junior brother, I understand!" Ji Xiaoshan nodded.

The Yellow Dragon God smiled and said, "This first floor contains some relatively simple methods and secrets. Let's go upstairs and take a look first!" The two of them walked up to the second floor and saw a row of tall bookshelves with countless books on them. There was also a line of large characters on the bookshelf.

"You can choose any one of the subjects only after you have done a hundred good deeds?" Ji Xiaoshan looked up and found that the big words were exactly the same, except that more good deeds were required.

“The merits required for each level are increasing. To learn a secret technique at the first level, only ten merits are needed, while the second level requires one hundred, the third level requires one thousand… until the sixth level requires one million merits, the seventh level requires five million merits, and the eighth level requires ten million merits. If a disciple wants to obtain a secret technique of the eighth level by doing good deeds, it will take at least a thousand years.” The Yellow Dragon God said with a smile.

"This Wandao Palace is very large and vast. Junior brother, follow me up level by level and take a look slowly!"

……

"This is the eighth floor." Ji Xiaoshan calmly followed the Yellow Dragon God and walked up step by step until they arrived at the eighth floor of the Wandao Palace.

Ji Xiaoshan immediately took in the words on the bookshelf, "Do ten million good deeds and you can choose any one of them!"

Only then did Ji Xiaoshan look at the books and he understood something.

The books on the eighth floor seemed to be much fewer. He opened a book at random and found that the Qi-refining method here had surpassed the Pure Yang level and reached the Daluo level.

"These are all Taoist treasures at the Daluo level!" Ji Xiaoshan said.

"Well, the eighth level of the Wandao Palace is already the limit of the Dharma that many of our disciples can obtain. The remaining ninth level of the Dharma is the most precious in the entire Wandao Palace, but the secrets of the ninth level of the Dharma cannot be obtained by doing good deeds."

"For ordinary disciples, the only way to obtain the ninth level of the method is to defeat the puppet once every ten years."

"If what senior brother said is true, I only need to keep defeating those puppets and I can spend a shorter period of time to exchange for the secret techniques?" Ji Xiaoshan asked immediately.

It's not impossible to let him do good deeds slowly, but it would take too much time and be too slow. If you want to obtain an eighth-level secret technique, it will take at least a thousand years. After a thousand years, the three realms will be turbulent. How can he have time to grow and settle slowly? This is naturally not possible.

"That's right. This is also a preferential treatment for our Taoist sect's direct lineage and for some Taoist disciples with high talent and high comprehension." Huanglong God nodded.

"For cultivators, the thing they have the most is time. Although doing good deeds only takes a little longer, it is most suitable for those who are less intelligent and stupid. Spending thousands of years doing good deeds can learn the powerful eighth-level method, which is worth it."

Huang Long Tian Shen said, "The Tao cannot be taught in person. This is also a gift from Master and many Taoist masters to my disciples. After all, if you take out any copy of this eighth-level secret technique, it will be a good thing that countless cultivators outside will fight for."

"Yes! Such a precious secret technique would be an extremely precious opportunity in the outside world!" Ji Xiaoshan also nodded.

He walked all the way up from the first floor of the Wandao Palace, and read almost every floor. Naturally, he knew how precious and vast the secret arts stored in the Wandao Palace were. No matter which one was taken to the Daxia world, it would be able to directly establish a sect and become the foundation of the sect, and it would be directly snatched up.

Ji Xiaoshan looked at Huanglong Tianshen and said with a smile, "Brother, you probably know my strength. What level of puppet can I defeat now?"

"You?" Huang Long Tian Shen was stunned, he said, "This puppet is a means to verify the strength of the disciple. And this battle is a test of your understanding of the Tao! So it is forbidden to use any magical powers, any magic arrays, or even forbidden techniques and secrets. And you are a sword immortal who walks the sword path, so you can only rely on the sword in your hand to perform swordsmanship... All your magical powers and secrets, including the world in your sleeve, cannot be used."

"Only relying on the understanding of Tao by a cultivator? Not even able to use any magical skills?" Ji Xiaoshan narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, the fight with this puppet was exactly the same as the one in Fangcun Mountain.

Sorry brothers!

The few chapters I wrote these two days are indeed not much different from the original. My brother joked that the Three Pure Ones were replaced by Bodhi. I can’t say that they are exactly the same, but I can only say that they are almost the same.

This afternoon, I made some major revisions to the chapters about becoming a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. Brothers who have subscribed to the book can take a look at them again. I feel that they are better than before.

Sorry! I'm so sorry.
