Hearing footsteps upstairs, Lu Jin quickly called out, ran over, and plopped down, her face tense. "This is no time for jokes!"
"Oh, so you finally dare to face your feelings? Not bad! Not bad!" Jiang Liu smirked. "Last night, your father-in-law wanted me to finalize your marriage with Bao Ling. Now it seems he was overthinking it."
"Father-in-law..."
Lu Jin's lips trembled, but she did not refute.
Seeing Wang Baoling come down the stairs, Jiang Liu ended the topic and started talking about the competition with the Zhengyi Sect six months later.
“Brother Jiang, when you forged your literary talent, honed your martial prowess, and became a ‘sage,’ your fame resounded for miles and your radiant glory illuminated the land. They were probably just going through the motions, weren’t they?”
Lu Jin shared her guess.
"Then you're underestimating them."
Jiang Liu picked up a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling), put it in his mouth, and chewed it with great relish. "There was once a person who was exceptionally talented, and he had a bit of arrogance about him. Just like this xiaolongbao, it's very chewy. It's easy to eat, but it takes quite a while to digest it."
Lu Jin already understood this, knowing that the Taoist and Buddhist sects were different from sects like the Sanyi Sect. Apart from having produced extraordinary individuals, they were also religions.
# Chapter 1074 The Cultivation Has Only Just Begun
Has a candidate been chosen?
Lu Jin knew that in their match against Zheng Yi, both he and Brother Jiang were restricted in their movements. However, the strength of the other members varied greatly, and most of them were no match for the Taoists on the mountain in terms of life cultivation...
of course.
In terms of experience and tactics, all the Qi cultivators on Cultural Street are miles ahead of the younger generation on Longhu Mountain. In a real fight... as long as they don't encounter someone like Zhang Zhiwei, they can definitely hold out for a considerable time, and victory is not impossible.
The key point is that among the younger generation of Longhu Mountain, there is Zhang Huaiyi, and the Shangqing School also has Zheng Zibu. Although they are far behind them, they are still outstanding compared to the other young people of this period.
If the Confucian Association hadn't mobilized Miss Hong, Miss Liu, Gao Huan, Boss Cha, Zhao Guizhen, Peng Qizi, and Senior Sister Chengzhen, they might not have been able to win.
Zhao Qian and Wang Kun, whose cultivation levels were too low, naturally couldn't participate. The other six even went to the countryside with Ghost Hand Wang to help Mr. Ren with his publicity.
The same applies to Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu.
And the older generation...
However, it is not right for the big to bully the small.
"There's no need to worry about the selection. At least Lin Shirong from Baozhitang will definitely come to our Confucian Association, probably next month."
The story of the conflict between the Confucian Society and the Confucius family will surely spread far and wide, and many disciples and family members from non-Buddhist and non-Taoist sects will be willing to join the Confucian Society.
Jiang Liu smiled calmly, "After all, our Confucian Association is rather special, more like a platform that provides communication and assistance for everyone."
Since they are platforms, joining them won't affect the independence of their respective portals, so why not?
"That's true."
Lu Jin put aside his worries, "Besides, Brother Jiang 'became a saint' yesterday, and the radiant light shone throughout the land. Cultivators from all sects and factions will surely come to investigate and see who has become a saint!"
"I dare not accept the title of 'Saint'."
Jiang Liu shook his head and chuckled, "It was nothing more than forging literary courage, honing martial skills, gaining a wisp of righteous energy, and incidentally having a conversation with the remnant image left by that past master."
My spiritual journey has only just begun!
In addition to cultivating one's nature and life, refining the golden elixir and sacred embryo, and comprehending the path of life, spiritual practice also requires controlling the three corpses, six thieves, and nine insects.
now.
Those three corpses have not yet fully transformed into the Three Pure Ones...
The nine insects are still lurking in the shadows...
Those six thieves had barely manifested themselves...
The path of cultivation has only just begun!
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin laughed heartily: "Brother Jiang, your cultivation has only just begun. What about the others? They're just learning to walk!"
"more or less."
Jiang Liu shrugged and chuckled, “Before one cultivates a true primordial spirit, one’s cultivation level will increase with the years of one’s life, but after fifty years, one’s memories will gradually decline, and one’s cultivation level will also decrease… Can it be called cultivation level?”
However, as one's spiritual cultivation increases, a portion of one's memories and spirit will naturally be imprinted within the innate Qi circulating in the body.
This is probably the approach that Imhotep and the Jade-Winged Golden-Scaled Mermaid could come up with, but in essence, this method is not very safe. Without a space to store the soul and the innate Qi, the innate Qi will return to heaven and earth, and those memories will also be lost in the constant cycle of reincarnation.
Just like Evelyn, who is currently working in Egypt to showcase the history of ancient Egypt and the Zhou Dynasty to the world.
Immediately, Lu Jin felt a sense of urgency, believing that he had to quickly designate all five internal organs as the central palace, and the gene lock might be able to accelerate this process.
"Don't try to force growth."
With just a thought, Jiang Liu saw through Lu Jin's idea, "I just advise you not to immerse yourself in the gentle embrace of love for too long, lest you neglect your cultivation."
Also, please give some pointers on Wang Baoling's spiritual progress, so that she can accompany you even a hundred years from now, and also help you review what you've learned and gain new insights.
"Killing two birds with one stone."
In an instant.
Lu Jin's face flushed red instantly.
"Brother Jiang".
Wang Baoling walked over at this moment and said cheerfully, "I heard what you just said!"
But don't worry, Lu Jin has already created a fighting method that can harmonize Yin and Yang and invigorate the Qi and blood in my body!
Last night we had a real battle, and this morning I woke up feeling refreshed and energetic, without the slightest sign of fatigue!
At this point, Wang Baoling asked in confusion, "By the way, Brother Jiang, aren't you supposed to have a keen eye? How come you didn't know?"
"..."
Jiang Liu paused for a moment, rubbed his chin, and thought to himself that women in love really do act like they've lost their minds. He then said with a smile, "Then I'll take a closer look tonight?"
In that instant, Wang Baoling snapped out of her daze, blushed, covered her face, and ran back upstairs.
Lu Jin: "→_→"
"What kind of look is that? Do you really think I'm going to look? When Duanmu Ying and I were researching medicine, we watched a lot of documentaries about human reproduction, and it's really just a matter of fact."
Jiang Liu shrugged, finished his steamed buns, and got down to business, "Let's leave the sparring with the Zhengyi Sect for now. We'll be quite busy for the next while, as the president and vice president of the guild..."
"Brother Jiang, the commotion you made in forging your literary talent and martial prowess was truly remarkable!"
Lu Jin complained.
"There's nothing we can do. Who knew that the master's talent and cultivation would actually be related to the Primordial Chaos Qi? And it even involves higher dimensions..."
If Taoism cultivates the root and Buddhism forges the nature of Dharma, then Confucianism takes a different path, cultivating literary courage and martial prowess, and cultivating the most powerful and righteous spirit!
Taking Confucius's righteous spirit as an example, it is not only those who integrate talent that can use it. As long as a person who cultivates talent shares the same principles as Confucius and takes "benevolence" as the core, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can borrow the power of righteous spirit for their own use with a single thought.
Apart from this, only Confucius's direct descendants can use that wisp of righteous energy.
The same reason.
If in the future someone cultivates their talents in the same way as the philosophy of "the highest good is like water, the lowest good is like fire" from the Jiangliu school of thought, they can also use this righteous energy for their own benefit.
To be more precise, the so-called righteous energy is unique, but it can coexist in the bodies of multiple people who share the same ideals and have cultivated their talents.
However, once a person cultivating their talent changes their beliefs, they will lose the authority to use this wisp of righteous energy...
If this property is utilized properly, it can play a significant role in the future, directly identifying those who "change their spirits at the first sign of trouble"...
···
At the same time.
Besides Zhang Jingqing of Longhu Mountain, the second force that guessed and truly confirmed the identity of the "sage" immediately took action.
"Liu Wei, you are quite familiar with Jiang Liu, why don't you go to Yuhang?" the innkeeper of Jianghu Inn said to the man in front of him with a slightly somber expression.
"I?"
Liu Wei pointed to his own nose, speechless for a moment. Seeing the shopkeeper still staring at him, he could only bite the bullet and say, "I only met Jiang Liu once, at the Ghost Hand Wang Opera Troupe..."
"What are you afraid of?"
The shopkeeper was exasperated. "You have good talent. You've been running Yinghelou for a few years and it was fine at first, but why have you become so listless these past two years?"
# Chapter 1075 Liu Wei Leaves the Small Inn
Why the despondency?
Liu Wei was actually fully aware of the situation.
Unlike the manager of Jianghu Xiaozhan, Liu Wei did have ambition in the years before he opened Yinghelou, and he was willing to make friends with the heroes of the younger generation.
However, the people who come to eat at Yinghelou are not just the younger generation of the supernatural world.
On the contrary.
Ordinary people make up the majority!
Although the Yingkelou was not built in a bustling city, or even in a town, but rather on a path near the mountains outside the countryside.
But the war has never stopped over the years, and refugees have been fleeing into the mountains and forests in waves.
When they passed by Yinghe Tower, most of them were emaciated from hunger, their clothes were tattered, and they looked exactly like sick skeletons wandering in the mountains!
Liu Wei then provided them with a meal free of charge.
But it can only be one meal.
Even if someone wanted to stay and work for Yinghelou for free, just for a meal, it wouldn't work... They couldn't start anything; if they accepted one, they'd have to accept a whole group.
Yinghelou didn't have that much money, nor did Jianghu Xiaozhan.
They have that kind of money...
A small inn in the Jianghu doesn't need so many ordinary people as workers.
