Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 71 Founding a sect

As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Xie Shen could survive even if he did not eat for a long period of time.

But it is very difficult for cultivators in the Qi training stage and modified humans to do this.

In view of this, Xie Shen directly took out a blank jade slip and printed the method of refining the Bigu Pill on it.

He threw the jade slip to Li Xiu and said, "This is the recipe for the Bigu Pill. I have also written down the specific instructions for cultivating the spiritual herbs and plants needed to make the pill."

Li Xiu took the jade slip and placed it on his forehead.

After a few seconds, he said expressionlessly, "The polygonatum and turmeric in this recipe must be more than one year old."

"Even if I have a spirit gathering formation that can increase the cultivation speed by 5-6 times, it will still take at least two months to produce results."

"That is to say, it will take two months before we can organize a team to explore the other world."

"Two months is just two months." Xie Shen said indifferently, "We are already on the surface anyway."

"I plan to use these two months to prepare the materials needed to break through to the Golden Core Stage."

"Then, I need your cooperation in this process."

"Golden Core Stage?" Li Xiu also had a strong interest in the technology of cultivation.

He then asked, "How can I cooperate?"

"You should have heard of the Taoist theory of the five elements, right?" Xie Shen introduced: "To form a pill, a cultivator needs to collect five different kinds of essences, namely 'gold, wood, water, fire and earth'. These five essences are collectively called the 'spiritual energy of the five elements'."

"There are different ways to collect the five elements of spiritual energy."

"Among them, 'Golden Spirit Qi' is the easiest to obtain."

In the laboratory.

As Xie Shen spoke, he suddenly waved his right arm and summoned the flying sword that was nurtured in his purple mansion.

He made the flying sword float in front of him and explained, "After a cultivator has established his foundation, those with status and background will be given a magical instrument directly by their master. As for independent cultivators, they will try to refine it themselves, or ask for help from cultivators who are proficient in this way."

"In short, no matter what, a foundation-building cultivator must obtain a life-defining magical weapon."

“There are two reasons for this.”

"Firstly, my life magic weapon is very powerful, which gives me a greater advantage when fighting with others."

"Secondly, it is because my life treasure has been nurtured for a long time and can generate 'golden spirit energy' in the purple mansion."

Li Xiu nodded after hearing this.

He followed Xie Shen's words and said, "What about the other four kinds of spiritual energy?"

Xie Shen replied: "In addition to the gold spiritual energy, the five elements spiritual energy also includes 'wood' and 'earth', which are relatively easy to collect."

"Especially 'wood'."

"You only need to choose trees that have lived for more than a thousand years, such as locust trees, ginkgo trees, and spruce trees, and then use the spirit gathering formation to nourish them with spiritual energy."

"If you wait like this for a few dozen to a hundred years, you will be able to harvest the wood spirit energy."

"It takes nearly a hundred years?" Li Xiu asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Xie Shen said: "A hundred years is really nothing. After a cultivator builds his foundation, his life span can be extended to more than two hundred years."

"So a hundred years is definitely worth the wait."

"Of course."

"Some sects already have their own inheritance."

"Some very gifted disciples often don't have to do anything."

"As soon as they broke through to the late stage of foundation building, the elders of the sect had already prepared the five elements of spiritual energy for them."

"It is like those who planted the trees, and those who come after us enjoy the shade."

At this point, Xie Shen emphasized: "When there are more monks in the space station in the future, we can also do this: use the spirit gathering formation to nourish some trees that have lived for more than a thousand years in advance, and then wait for them to produce wood spirit energy, and then use them to reward those monks who have made certain contributions."

"That's a good idea."

Li Xiu followed up and said, "It seems that the difference between the cultivation civilization and the technological civilization is not that big."

"Both require a systematic industrial chain, and then efficiency can be improved."

"Of course." Xie Shen continued, "Let's talk about the method of cultivating earth spirit energy."

"The method of cultivating earth spirit and wood spirit is the same."

"The only difference is that the wood spirit energy requires trees that are more than a thousand years old, while the earth spirit energy requires..."

"Forehead"

As he spoke, Xie Shen suddenly paused for two seconds.

He asked Li Xiu, "What are the general names of the plants that correspond to trees?"

Li Xiu replied: "Herbs."

"Oh, yes! Herbs!" Xie Shen continued, "To nourish the wood spirit, you need woody plants. Correspondingly, to nourish the earth spirit, you need herbs that are over 500 years old. And any herb will do. Even a dogtail grass on the roadside, as long as it is over 500 years old, can be used to cultivate earth spirit."

"Let's talk about fire and water."

"In fact, fire, like earth and wood spiritual energy, also needs to be nurtured."

"Can fire be cultivated?" Li Xiu asked.

Xie Shen said: "Well, some larger immortal cultivation sects will specially build a furnace and keep the fire in the furnace burning all the time."

"Once the fuel is running out, have someone add more fuel."

"Keep burning it for fifty years, or even a hundred years, and then nourish it with spiritual energy, and you will be able to create the 'fire aura'."

"also."

Xie Shen added: "This kind of fire that has been nurtured for dozens or even hundreds of years can be used to refine weapons and pills with half the effort."

"Practitioners usually refer to this type of fire as 'strange fire'."

Strange fire?
After hearing this, Li Xiu said, "Since the strange fire is related to both alchemy and weapon refining, it will be indispensable in the future. We need to assign a group of people to train them."

"Yes." Xie Shen replied: "Later I will teach you how to nourish the earth and wood spiritual energy, as well as how to cultivate the 'strange fire'."

"These jobs are slow and painstaking, and not that difficult."

"Then you will arrange for someone to do it, is that ok?"

"No problem." Li Xiu asked, "What about the last bit of water spirit energy?"

Xie Shen replied: "You don't need to wait for dozens or hundreds of years to find water spirit energy. You just need to go to an extremely cold place and spend ten days or half a month looking around. If you are lucky, you can find water spirit energy. And the colder the place, the greater the chance of finding water spirit energy."

In the laboratory.

After Xie Shen finished introducing the method of cultivating the five elements of spiritual energy, Li Xiu concluded: "Whether it is to nourish the earth and wood spiritual energy, or to cultivate the 'different fire', these require a large number of manpower. In this way, we must have a team of practitioners."

"Or, why not just start a new sect?"

Li Xiu suggested to Xie Shen: "As for the head of the sect, Bu Tianran, who has been following you all the time, will take over temporarily. His two fellow apprentices, Ran Zhuyu and Qian Ming, can serve as the elders of the sect."

"Then there is your girlfriend Yang Si. She is also about to reach the late stage of Qi training, so we can give her the position of elder."

"In addition to this, there is also a medicine garden, alchemy and equipment refining rooms, and a spirit gathering formation for retreat. These will also need to be slowly set up."

"As for you"

Li Xiu finally said to Xie Shen: "You can call yourself 'Grand Ancestor' to the outside world. You only need to stay in the sect and concentrate on cultivation. You don't need to take care of other trivial matters."

He can get a sinecure and enjoy the convenience brought by the development of the sect.

Xie Shen was naturally happy to see this happen, and immediately agreed: "Okay, then everything will be done as you say!"

"Well." Li Xiu continued, "Finally, you can give the sect a name, right?"

"Name?" Xie Shen didn't think much about it.

He directly borrowed the name of the sect he had belonged to before and said, "Then why not just call it 'Qingyang Sect'!"

...

Li Xiu was very concerned about establishing a sect.

After discussing many details with Xie Shen, he brought a large number of monks from the space station under the banner of Xie Shen in just one day. Then he started to build a medicine garden, an alchemy room, and other matters.
Finally, after discussion between the headmaster Bu Tianran and many elders, the standards for Qingyang Sect to recruit disciples were also listed in detail:

Mortals who have not crossed the threshold of cultivation can be divided into different levels according to their qualifications.

Among them, those with the worst qualifications have no qualifications to cultivate immortality.

They will be turned away altogether.

Those with average qualifications can be accepted as outer disciples, and how much resources they can obtain in the future depends entirely on their personal efforts.

Finally, there are those with excellent qualifications.

After these people enter the sect, they can directly become inner disciples.

Some extremely talented people can directly become disciples of the master or elders and become true disciples.

Just like that, with the support of Li Xiu and the tacit approval of the top management of the space station, in just about a month, the power of the Qingyang Sect had grown stronger.

period.

Zhuge Fu, Jin Ling, Mag and others, all relied on their connections to be directly and unconditionally accepted into the Qingyang Sect one after another.

Nearly two months passed after that.

Finally, with the joint efforts of many Qi training monks, the first batch of Qigong pills was successfully refined.

With the fasting pill, cultivators in the Qi training stage and transformed people can use the tortoise breathing method and maintain a state of suspended animation for a long time.

So under Li Xiu's organization.

Monks such as Xie Shen, Mag, Zhuge Fu and Bu Tianran, together with several modified humans, formed a temporary team to explore the inner world.

——The thalamus core is very large, with a height of nearly 8 meters.

Therefore, even if Xie Shen and more than ten others went in together, they did not feel crowded at all.

In the laboratory.

After everyone was ready, Li Xiu tied a human umbilical cord to the thalamus core and the large mirror.

next second.

Xie Shen and other team members all used the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to quickly put themselves into a state of suspended animation.

...

Endless darkness.
I don’t know how much time has passed.

In the inner world.

When Xie Shen opened his eyes again, he found himself at the open space surrounded by woods.

Maybe there is a gap in strength.

At this moment, Mag, Zhuge Fu, Bu Tianran and others were all lying on the ground and had not yet woken up from their coma.

So long.

Bu Tianran, who had the highest level of cultivation among the group, just woke up slowly with a dazed look on his face.

He looked around and showed a surprised expression.

Soon after, Mag and other monks who were slightly weaker in strength also woke up from their coma.

Finally, there are the several transformed people.

When everyone woke up, they heard Li Xiu's voice slowly ringing in their ears: "Now that everyone is here, let's try to see if we can fly to the sky!"

As he spoke, he named the names of the reformed people in the team: "Zhao Tianze."

"Roger that!"

After the latter responded, he took the initiative to come to Xie Shen.

Xie Shen didn't hesitate.

In front of everyone, he waved his hand and decisively summoned his natal flying sword magic weapon from his purple mansion.

Immediately afterwards, the cyborg named Tianze half-squatted and sat on the flying sword.

He put his right hand on the ground to maintain his balance.

Under the watchful eyes of Xie Shen and others, Tianze was slowly lifted up by the flying sword and gradually rose to a high altitude.

As they ascended into the air, Li Xiu said again, "The current altitude is about 50 meters. It's safe."

After a few seconds.

He then continued: "It's 100 meters, and there is still no danger."

Xie Shen continued to control the flying sword to rise higher.

Soon, Li Xiu spoke again: "It's already 200 meters, currently."

Halfway through his words, his voice suddenly stopped.

There is no other reason.

It was because Zhao Tianze suddenly disappeared inexplicably after flying to an altitude of about 200 meters.
Zhao Tianze's disappearance was really too sudden.

Even Xie Shen, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, could not see clearly what had just happened.

He immediately asked Li Xiu: "In reality, how is Zhao Tianze doing?"

"I've just had someone check it out." Li Xiu replied, "According to the doctor's diagnosis, Zhao Tianze is already brain dead."

"He became a vegetable."

Li Xiu continued: "And in order to allow him to recover, we just killed him."

"But the resurrection failed."

"This means that he was resurrected into the Tower Prison at the moment of his death."

——Even for those who have the priority right to resurrection, there is no guarantee that they can be immediately resurrected to the space station after each death.

After all, in the Tower Prison, there is an electronic synthesized voice constantly reading everyone's name.

Therefore, it was common for people to be accidentally dragged into the tower prison after death.

"But it's not a big problem."

Li Xiu said calmly, "We have arranged people to recite Zhao Tianze's name non-stop."

"In this way, as long as Zhao Tianze dies, there is a high probability that he can be pulled back from the Tower Prison by us."

"Then we will be able to figure out what happened in the sky just now."

Since there were dangers in the sky and they could not fly with swords, Xie Shen and the others walked through the forest.

The crowd walked from north to south.

Along the way, apart from a few thalamus cores seen in the distance, there was nothing else in the entire forest.

Not to mention jackals, tigers and leopards.

Even moths and mosquitoes were not seen.

In this way, the team members walked south for a whole day and night.

It was not until the next morning that I saw a figure not far ahead.

wrong.

That was not a human figure.

But there are many ways.

——But not far ahead, a creature made up of countless human corpses was slowly crawling on the ground.

Perhaps he felt the gazes of Xie Shen and other team members.

The corpses that made up the strange creature all opened their eyes at the same time at this moment, and met the gazes of Xie Shen and the others.
