Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 63 Qingxu Taoist Temple
Purple Mountain.

The nine hundred and twenty-third year of Qiantian.

It was the second year that the five children went to the higher Taoist temple.

this day.

Yi Dong summoned Yi De, Yi Fu, Yi Nan and other clan members who had relatively high status in Zijin Mountain.

Yi Dong took a look.

Most of these people have already become foundation-building cultivators.

Today, most of the industries in Xia County are related to Zijin Mountain.

More than ten years ago, when the seven great families were silent, there was a foreign family that wanted to establish a branch in Xia County.

However, under the unremitting suppression of the Yi family of Zijin Mountain, these families could no longer develop.

Today, in Xia County, the Yi family of Zijin Mountain is the dominant family, and the rest are a dozen or so small families such as the Mu family.

Of the seven great families back then, except for the Zhao family which disappeared, the other six families are still strong.

On this day, the Yi family of Zijin Mountain could be said to have dominated Xia County.

"Mountain Master, now in Xia County, after experiencing the invaders, there are a total of thirty-six spiritual veins. Among them, our Purple Gold Mountain spiritual vein is a third-level spiritual vein. In addition, there are two second-level spiritual veins, and the rest are first-level.

Among them, twelve spiritual veins belong to the official fairyland.

There are 24 left, and only five have not been sold yet.”

"Are there no wealthy independent cultivator families in Xia County?
Sell the five spiritual veins as soon as possible, to prevent any foreign noble families from spying on you."

Yi Fu said:

“Our Yi family stipulates that a family can only have one spiritual vein. Excluding our Yi family, there are already 18 small families.

The remaining independent cultivators in Xia County really can’t afford to buy spiritual veins.”

"If you can't afford it, just wait. In Xia County, we can't let one family control two spiritual veins. Only in this way can the situation in Xia County remain stable.

By the way, how many immortal cultivators are there in the family?"

Yi Nan said:

"Not counting the children who haven't yet started practicing, the Taoist companions who have married into the Yi family, and those who have left the mountains to explore on their own, there are now a total of 69,007 cultivators recorded in our Yi family's genealogy."

“Well, I asked you to come here this time to tell you something.

Our Yi family has relied too much on the Bu Tian Pill, which has resulted in so many members of our clan not having a single natural spiritual root. This is extremely unreasonable.

Pass down the order, if our Yi family has a child with a natural spiritual root, the family will fully support them to study in the Taoist temple."

It was his eldest son Yi Jun who brought the news that Yi Dong changed his mind.

According to Yi Jun, after the Qiantian year, the Immortal Kingdom should recruit the aristocratic families to launch a large-scale attack outside the realm. By then, it might be difficult for the Yi family to escape.

After knowing this news, Yi Dong naturally changed his original intention and started to cultivate his spiritual roots.

Only Jin Xiu can control the core of today's warships, and only Jin Xiu can use powerful formations to establish a stable camp.

“In addition to those with natural spiritual roots, the clansmen with second and third spiritual roots have also begun to provide more resources to allow them to practice better.

As long as they can cultivate to the peak of Qi Refining and pass the review, the family will provide Foundation Building Pills. Of course, they will need to pay for the cost of the Foundation Building Pills later."

A foundation-building package costs tens of thousands of spirit stones, and Yi Dong doesn't have that many spirit stones to supply the increasing number of clansmen.

At the same time, audit is also necessary, not only to audit the other party's repayment ability, but also the degree of loyalty to Zijin Mountain and Yi Dong.

Yi Nan asked:

"Did something happen?"

It is not a good thing to have too many foundation-building people in the family.

Whether the foundation-building cultivators are strong or not is secondary. Their lifespan is too long. When family resources are limited, if there are too many immortal old people in the family, it will not be friendly to the new generation.

"Well, you'll know later."

Yi Dong didn't explain.

After giving a few more instructions, Yi Dong let Yi De and the others leave.

The Immortal Kingdom recruited the noble families to fight in the war outside the realm.

There are too many uncertainties for Yi Dong in this matter.

If I have to go there at that time, I will need more tribesmen to protect my life.

Fortunately, there is still enough time.

A few decades is enough time to train a group of Jindan immortal cultivators.

As long as there are dozens of Jindan and a few warships, and if you keep a low profile and stay in the rear, you probably won't encounter any danger.

“To cultivate the golden elixir, it is best to practice the sword cultivation of the Green Lotus Sword Canon.

Unfortunately, the Green Lotus at the Earth's Core matures too slowly.

It seems that it is time to use the modified Bu Tian Dan."

Yi Dong thought of the results of his research on the magic eye.

Next, we need to train our tribesmen and build warships, but spirit stones are far from enough.

Fortunately, at this time, the Yi family had secretly taken control of Xia County.

For the various families and independent cultivators in Kuyixia County, manpower and material resources are not a problem.

Qingxu Taoist Temple.

In a huge pavilion built in the middle of a lake on top of a mountain shrouded in clouds, dozens of young men and women were sitting together.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood up.

“My fellow students, three months from now, I will compete for the top spot in this session, and I will definitely be targeted by the four major families: Nangong, Wenren, Sima, and Taishu.

I will count on you to lend me a helping hand then."

"The four major families are too overbearing. Otherwise, the position of the first-grade leader would belong to Brother Yi Dao. They relied on their numbers to knock Brother Yi Dao off the stage in turns. This time, we can't let them succeed no matter what we say."

“That’s right, those ancient families have taken a lot of benefits from the Taoist Academy.

As long as Fellow Daoist Yi becomes the chief, we will reorganize the 922nd Student Council, and then everyone's situation will change."

"My Blue Sky Club has clearly supported Fellow Daoist Yi."

"The same goes for our Cloud Sea Alliance."

"Same." The man who spoke first smiled.

This person is Yi Jun.

At this moment, Yi Jun had lost all his youthfulness and looked extremely domineering.

When he came to the higher-level Taoist temple, his horizons were broadened.

At the same time, he was also severely beaten by reality.

A year ago, when he first entered the Taoist temple, he thought he could become the top of his class.

Unfortunately, the reality is that he can’t even make it into the top 100.

Because he was targeted, students kept challenging him. Faced with a protracted battle of hurdles, he was completely unable to withstand it and was eliminated early.

After being beaten by reality.

He came to his senses and started making friends.

Over the course of a year, he continued to discuss ideas with his classmates and even senior students, demonstrating his abilities and gaining recognition from many student groups.

When he arrived at the higher-level Taoist temple, he realized that the Yi family of Purple Gold Mountain was just a small-time gang after all.

Within the Taoist temple, many groups receive investment from external financial groups.

These investments may be collaborations in technological research or the maintenance of investment relationships.

In short, the total investment that Yi Jun received in a year was no less than 10 billion spirit stones.

There were some investments that Yi Jun considered but did not accept, otherwise he would have been able to get more.

In Qingxu Taoist Academy, on the surface, the highest management body of each class of students is the Student Council.

Apart from teaching, Taoist temple instructors generally do not interfere with students' behavior.

The Student Council holds a lot of power, from the distribution of students' welfare to the division of the Taoist temple's facilities, all of which are under the management of the Student Council.

Even the punishment is controlled by the student council.

In the student parliament, the highest person is naturally the Speaker.

The Speaker of each term is required to be the person ranked first in the Taoist Academy.

The Speaker has great power, including the power to decide one-third of the seats in parliament.

Among the students, the top ten students also have great rights.

There are also many benefits for students ranked within the top 100.

As for those ranked outside the top 100, they belong to the ruled class and need to accumulate achievements outside of school.

Yi Jun was doing very well in Qingxu Taoist Temple.

That's because he is strong enough.

In Qingxu Taoist Academy, ordinary students may have a miserable life under layers of oppression. Their applications for research funds will not be approved, and all kinds of thankless tasks will continue to be placed on them.

Are you dissatisfied?
Discussions on Taoism at higher-level Taoist temples may result in casualties.

Without some strength, you don’t even have the confidence to refuse.

The conversation in the pavilion did not end until three days later.

Each student group was arguing fiercely over the obligations and interests that their group needed to fulfill.

As the leader, Yi Jun rarely participated in the debate.

Because he also has representatives to speak for him.

Three days later.

Yi Jun's yard became quiet.

Only a few trusted members of his group, the Buried Sword Society, remained.

"President, the disciples of the four major families must have known about our plan a long time ago. They are now the leaders of our class, and there will be more students under their command."

"Humph, apart from Nangong Tianyuan and Taishu Shaojun, who else has the strength to challenge the president? This is not a free-for-all. We only need to block some of the people who can challenge the president to prevent the president from consuming too much energy. This battle will be won."

“That’s right. A year ago, the president’s magical power “Sword Buried in the Heavens” only contained magical instruments.

Over the past year, the president has replaced all of his magic tools with magic treasures. When his magical powers are unleashed, Nangong Tianyuan's "Red Lotus Abyss" will certainly not be able to stop him."

“That’s right. A gold-attributed cultivator is inherently unmatched in attack. Even if Nangong Tianyuan’s spirit body is stronger, he is definitely no match for the president.

The vice president is overthinking. "

Yi Jun looked at the handsome young man who spoke at the beginning.

"Brother Qin, have you heard any rumors?"

Qin Guangmin said:
“I specially arranged for my cousin to follow the Wenren family in order to collect information about their four major families.

Wenren Mingyue, the freshman ranked sixth, you should know that. "

Yi Jun and others nodded.

A woman named Kong Shaoli even said:
“Wenren Mingyue, ranked just below Sima Qianhui among the girls, is famous for her magical power “Blue Sea Waves”.

Notoriously rubbish.”

Qin Guangmin said:
"According to my cousin, Wenren Mingyue's magical power has also reached the stage of transforming reality into illusion. On the surface, besides Nangong Tianyuan, Taishu Shaojun and the president, she is the fourth student in our class to reach this level."

Kong Shaoli disagrees.
"Wenren Mingyue is of water attribute. Even if her magical power can transform reality into illusion and absorb some spiritual water, she won't be able to exert much power."

"What if she collected more than just spiritual water?"

Yi Jun's heart moved.
"Wenren Mingyue has been building warships on a large scale recently, you mean?"

"Yes, her magical power should be able to refine the warships into it. Although those warships are not perfect, they are still stronger than many magic weapons."

"In other words, I need to defeat Nangong Tianyuan, Taishu Shaojun and Wenren Mingyue to become the first?"

Yi Jun's face turned serious.

In the Taoist Academy, "space fragments" are distributed to each class of students every year.

High-level resources like space debris are generally only available to the Speaker.

Nangong Tianyuan has already obtained the space fragments, but has not yet completed the suppression. If it is delayed for another year, he will refine the space fragments and advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining, becoming the Qi Refining King. Then Yi Jun will have no confidence in defeating him.

"Go and find out the news first."
