Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Word of this spread from ten to a hundred, and endless streams of pilgrims came from all directions, lining up in long queues, just to burn a stick of incense in the land temple.

It was fine at the beginning. The messenger girl Yingning received the pilgrims with great enthusiasm and some excitement.

Looking at the awed eyes of the pilgrims and listening to all kinds of flattery coming to her ears, she felt a sense of satisfaction and pride in her little heart.

But after a long time, she began to feel overwhelmed.

The creatures of the prehistoric continent are nourished by the spirit of immortals all year round. Even if they don't know how to practice cultivation, their bodies are still strong. But even so, after receiving pilgrims non-stop for several days, she began to feel tired.

Then she began trying to make her own rules.

For example, there is a set time period every day, and if the time is exceeded, the restaurant will close and refuse visitors.

For example, there is a regulation on the number of incense sticks that can be burned. If you want to continue burning incense after exceeding the number, you have to pay extra incense money.

At first, she was a little worried that her unauthorized decision would cause dissatisfaction from the God of Land, but one time, she carefully entered the temple and told the God of Land about her reform measures, and she was rewarded.

A bottle of elixir that can be used for fasting.

And, the compliment from the land god, "not bad".

After this, Yingning gained more experience in the position of God's messenger.

She began to record the wishes of the pilgrims when they prayed for incense, sorted out the various wishes, eliminated those unrealistic fantasies and greed, and sorted out those wishes that were easier to achieve and handed them to the God of Land.

As a messenger of God, she didn't know what exactly she needed to do. She could only rely on her feelings and do what she thought the God of the Land might need.

This time, during his spare time in cultivation, the God of Land reviewed the wish list she had compiled and gave her high praise.

In addition to praising her, the God of Land even cleansed her marrow and meridians, and gave her a practice method called "Elementary Chapter of Five Elements Qigong".

From this moment on, Yingning understood that her life would never be the same again!

The God of Land is very busy. He basically spends most of his time practicing. In his occasional free time, he will set out to fulfill a few simple wishes for people.

Although Yingning began to practice according to the cultivation method, she did not dare to disturb him because of her own cultivation.

But she is a smart girl and knows how to make use of her identity as a messenger of God.

Among the pilgrims who come to burn incense every day, some are monks who have come from thousands of miles away. The divine messenger Yingning will ask them some questions about cultivation after they finish burning incense.

Basically, the other party will tell everything they know just to establish a good relationship with the messenger of God. If they encounter trouble in the future, this land temple may be a way out.

Until one day, when Yingning was about to close the temple in the evening, he met a special young man.

The other party claimed to be named Bai Xiaochun, and was an honored disciple of Lingxi Sect three thousand miles away. In addition to burning incense, he also wanted to do a big deal with the land temple.

Chapter 950: In this world, it’s too difficult to live without a backer!

The Lingxi Sect disciple named Bai Xiaochun was tall and gentle, with a fair and clean complexion. He was even a bit shy when he spoke, and would blush from time to time.

Yingning had a good impression of this shy young man, and did not chase him away just because the shop was about to close.

"Tell me, what business are you talking about?"

Yingning is obviously not very old, but she acts like an older sister, with one hand behind her back, imitating the charm of the land god.

"Let me make it clear first, this is a temple. Let's not talk about those dirty things in the secular world!"

"Don't mention it!"

Bai Xiaochun shyly took out a few special spiritual incense sticks from the storage bag, "This incense is a special product of our Lingxi Sect. It has the effect of fasting, concentrating the mind, and exorcising evil spirits and avoiding danger.

The God's messenger sister is also a cultivator. Lighting a stick of incense during cultivation can not only increase the speed of cultivation, but also has the effect of protecting the soul when it is tempering the spirit and leaving the body.

Not only that, the fragrance is fresh and elegant, and can also be used as incense..."

Bai Xiaochun went on and on, and Yingning patiently listened to the end before asking, "After all that talk, how are you planning to sell it?"

"Sell?" Bai Xiaochun smiled gently, "I won't sell this incense!"

"Not selling? Then why are you here?"

Bai Xiaochun rubbed his hands and said, "Our Lingxi Sect's ancestor said that this incense should be offered to the temple."

Yingning blinked, "For free?"

"It's not free..." Bai Xiaochun rubbed his hands shyly and said, "Well, I want to meet the Earth God. Sister Divine Envoy, can you make some concessions? I have a big deal and I want to discuss it with the Earth God in person."

Yingning did not answer directly, but looked up and down at the fair-skinned young man, only to see that he was bowing with both hands and a humble smile on his face.

"Sister Divine Messenger, please, please."

Yingning hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go see if my master is awake."

He waited for most of the night. At three o'clock in the morning, Song Xuan, who was practicing, exhaled a breath of fresh air, completing a large circulation, and then looked at Yingning who was standing outside the temple gate waiting carefully.

"Come in and tell me if you have something to say!"

"Yes!"

After Yingning entered the room, she carefully recounted what had happened that evening, then stood respectfully aside, waiting for the decision of the God of Land.

"Lingxi Sect, Bai Xiaochun?"

Song Xuan's expression paused slightly.

The area with a diameter of ten thousand miles, centered on the land temple, belongs to the jurisdiction of Lingxi Land God. If you count it, the territory he controls is much larger than the Huaxia Kingdom on Blue Star in later generations.

But in the prehistoric world, the Southern Continent can only be considered a very small area. Most of the areas within its jurisdiction are villages and towns. There is only one proper human city, and it can only be considered a county town.

From this point, we can also see how much power and territory the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty holds.

Lingxi Sect is an inconspicuous sect located in Lingxi County.

Previously, when Song Xuan observed the area under his jurisdiction through the Ruyi Crystal Ball, he just glanced over this sect. A sect that didn't even have immortals was indeed not worth his excessive attention.

But I didn’t expect that there would be a wild son of destiny in such a small sect.

"Let him in!"

After a moment of hesitation, Song Xuan gave an order.

Yingning nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out. After a while, she led in a young man in white clothes, who was gentle and fair-skinned.

Song Xuan glanced at the other person. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage. He had good talent, but it was not too amazing in the prehistoric world.

When I was chatting with Yue Lingyun in the lower realm before, according to him, there are some geniuses in the prehistoric times. Not to mention those who are innate spiritual beings that have transformed, there are some amazingly talented people among the human race alone who have become immortals at the age of ten.

In the ancient times, as long as one has a master and is trained by a sect, it is not difficult to become an immortal. The difficult part is to survive various disasters.

In the ancient times, geniuses were worthless, and only those who survived could be called geniuses.

The young man was not vague either. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Grandpa Land, disciple Bai Xiaochun pays homage to the Lord of Land!"

This bow stunned Yingning.

Unexpectedly, such a shy boy would do things without hesitation and seemed much more decisive than himself, a messenger of God.

"Get up!"

Song Xuan was sitting cross-legged on a cushion in the air, his expression neither sad nor happy, and he glanced at him calmly.

"Tell me, what business do you want to discuss?"

Bai Xiaochun immediately stood up and took out more than ten jade bottles from his storage bag. He said nervously, "Grandpa Immortal, I'm here on a mission from the sect to become affiliated with our Land God Temple!"

"Oh?"

Song Xuan finally showed some interest. "I have just taken over the post of landowner not long ago. Would you like to wait and see?"

Bai Xiaochun had a humble smile on his face, "Lord Earth, you may not know that our Lingxi Sect started out as an alchemy sect. I'm not bragging, but our sect isn't very big, but we do have some skills in alchemy.

The sect naturally wants to sell the excess elixirs refined in addition to those used by the disciples themselves in order to exchange for other cultivation supplies.

But you also know, Grandpa God, that in the Southern Continent, the Shang Dynasty has the final say. Without approval from the government office in the city, our elixirs are prohibited items and are not allowed to be sold directly on the market.

As a last resort, over the years, our sect's elixirs have been sold to the Chamber of Commerce in the city at low prices, and most of the profits have been earned by outsiders.

so..."

"So, you plan to rely on me and let me be your backer?"

Bai Xiaochun laughed dryly, "Grandpa Immortal has a keen eye. This disciple and the sect behind him do have this plan.

Life in this world is so difficult. Without support, you can’t do business without government approval.

I heard that you, Grandpa Immortal, are the reincarnation of a true god and the patron saint of the people of Lingxi like me. That is why I, your disciple, have the audacity to want to serve under you.

Our ancestors said that as long as Lingxi Sect's elixirs can be sold publicly, all profits will be split 30% with you, the Immortal Grandfather."

Song Xuan smiled slightly, "30-70?"

Bai Xiaochun gritted his teeth and said, "If you're not satisfied, Immortal Grandpa, we can split it 20/80. We just need to keep some profit to buy alchemy materials later."

Song Xuan laughed heartily, but did not give a direct answer. Instead, he said with a smile, "Can you make the decision on Lingxi Sect's affairs?"

Bai Xiaochun hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Immortal. I am the sect's living honored disciple and the next sect master recognized by the sect's ancestors. I can fully represent the sect."

Song Xuan said, "Everything else is easy to explain. I just want to ask, what is the level of alchemy in your Lingxi Sect? Is it possible to refine immortal pills?"

Chapter 951: Have you heard of the summoning technique of the Immortal Grandpa?

"I can practice it, I can practice it!"

Bai Xiaochun said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Immortal Grandpa. I can refine the immortal pill. I've even tried to refine the lower-level first and second level immortal pills myself."

Song Xuan stared at him calmly, "Really?"

Bai Xiaochun opened his mouth to respond, but seeing Song Xuan's majestic eyes, he hesitated, "It is possible to practice, but the success rate is not high.

Grandpa Immortal, you also know that alchemy requires a lot of materials to accumulate experience. After all, our Lingxi Sect is not large in scale and there are not too many resources for me to consume.

But to be frank, in the world of alchemy, I am not afraid of anyone when it comes to alchemy talent. As long as there are enough materials for me to research freely, I can even refine the first and second level golden elixirs in the future!"

For cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage, a magical pill is an unattainable elixir. After taking one, one can forge an immortal root and have a chance of becoming an immortal in the future.

The elixir of the eighth and ninth revolutions has a significant function even for the existence of the true immortal level, and its price has always been very high.

As for the first and second level golden elixirs mentioned by Bai Xiaochun, they are elixirs that can only be taken by Golden Immortals. Elixirs of this level have always been in high demand and hard to come by.

In the ancient times, only alchemists who could refine golden elixirs were considered to have truly reached the master level and could be called alchemy masters.

Song Xuan's level of alchemy is average. At his level, he can refine some ordinary elixirs, but if he wants to refine more advanced golden elixirs, he can only laugh.

The more advanced the art of alchemy becomes, the more it relies on talent. This has nothing to do with cultivation. Even if you are a Daluo Jinxian, if you can't make it, you just can't make it.

Song Xuan did not mock Bai Xiaochun for boasting about his talent in alchemy.

This little fellow has great luck. Even though his cultivation is not high now, as long as he has such a superb alchemy technique in hand, his future achievements will definitely not be low.

I just don't know, in terms of alchemy talent, who is better, Song Erni or Bai Xiaochun?

Song Xuan guessed that Song Erni couldn't say whether she could win, but she would definitely not lose.

Song Qian, who has no thoughts about love between men and women, has really carried out the spirit of drawing the sword like a natural god without a man in her heart to the extreme. Except for not having any needs in this regard, she has almost maxed out her qualifications in other aspects!

"Let's split it 70%!"

After a brief silence, Song Xuan gave his reply.

Lingxi Sect provided the materials, time, and technology, and finally refined the elixir. Song Xuan got 70% of the profit after selling it, while the other party could only get 30%.

This seems unfair, but there is no way around it. In this world where strength is respected, or in any world, if you don't have strength and backing, don't even think about getting 10% safely, let alone 30% of the profit.

Bai Xiaochun was overjoyed at this result.

In fact, before coming here, he never thought that a 30-70 split could be reached. In his opinion, 20-80 was the best result.

As far as he knew, some other sects with connections and backing, whether it was refining weapons or refining pills, could only keep 20% of the final profit for themselves, and this was all due to the mercy of those high and mighty gods and immortals.

Some sects even have only a meager 10% profit, which is barely enough to maintain the subsequent cultivation resource needs of the sect disciples.

That's all, it's considered to be in accordance with the rules.

Some don't follow the rules, such as the demon cultivators in Uttarakuru, who simply capture people and keep them in captivity, using them as slaves.

As long as the person is not dead, make the elixir for me and refine it until he dies. If he dies, eat him directly and go to another place to catch people!

Someone like Song Xuan who only takes 70% of the money is truly a conscientious god.

Looking at Bai Xiaochun who was overjoyed, Song Xuan raised his hand and waved it, and a jade talisman fell in front of him. The jade talisman exuded a faint divine power, and it seemed that there was a faint flash of lightning.

"Keep this jade talisman, and then go to the capital to handle the formalities for selling the Lingxi Sect's elixirs."
