He continued, "Making money is all about harmony. Even those who make money illegally would never want to make their business public. After all, the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows, and being too ostentatious will only attract unnecessary trouble. Those who truly understand the way of making money will choose to do business quietly and make a fortune in silence."
Organizations like Quanxing are too flamboyant and completely contradict the principle of making big money.
"The Quanxing sect needs these things, but those so-called righteous sects don't?" Xu Xiang raised his voice slightly.
“At least that old bastard Wang Ai will never care about the consequences.” Xu Xiang’s tone was full of sarcasm. “In prosperous times, money is used to nurture weapons; in chaotic times, weapons are used to protect money. Isn’t that the Wang family’s motto? Wang Ai will definitely buy a bunch of these things to train his non-family members. After all, the Wang family is much richer than Quanxing.”
Zhao Fangxu did not respond. As the chairman of Nadutong, he could not freely express his opinion on matters concerning the stability of the supernatural world, so he changed the subject.
"So you think it's for spiritual practice?"
Xu Xiang raised his eyelids and uttered a single word.
"usury."
Zhao Fangxu had a general idea of what was going on, but some problems remained unresolved.
"Even if he did it for cultivation, once the price is exposed, he will undoubtedly have offended the entire Quanxing Sect, the vast majority of prestigious sects, and even the company. After that, will he still have a place in the country? Does he intend to run abroad afterwards?"
Xu Xiang narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly: "I'm not surprised at all. Don't be fooled by how these superhumans emphasize their meditation and mental state; when they really go crazy, they're no better than ordinary people."
I suspect their escape route isn't just abroad, it might be somewhere else!
Xu Xiang hinted.
Zhao Fangxu knew that Xu Xiang was referring to Nathan Island. It was an island isolated from human civilization, entirely populated by superhumans, and indeed, it was the final destination for many superhumans who could not survive in the outside world.
"Don't worry, I'll coordinate with the higher-ups and make sure they don't have a chance to leave the country. They've caused so much trouble and they think they can just run away? No way!"
Zhao Fangxu slammed his teacup on the table and made a promise to Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang lost interest in continuing the conversation and finally let Xu San and Xu Si, who were guarding outside, come in and push away his wheelchair. He was going back to North China.
"Old buddy, do you think the other side is really only targeting Quanxing?" Zhao Fangxu suddenly asked as Xu Xiang was about to walk out of the office door.
Xu Xiang turned his head and looked at Zhao Fangxu meaningfully.
"I don't know about that. After all, those powerful men value their reputation more than anything else."
Xu Xiang left, leaving Zhao Fangxu sitting silently in the office. He sat in the large, comfortable executive chair, seemingly lost in thought, before finally letting out a long sigh.
"Forget it, let Tenth Elder deal with this headache himself. I'm too old for that.
Longhu Mountain, inside the Tianshi Mansion.
Zhang Lingyu sat cross-legged in the quiet room, and began to circulate his Qi according to the Golden Light Mantra incantation taught by the Celestial Master's Mansion.
This is his daily homework. It is precisely because of his intelligence and diligence that he has been able to stand out among the younger generation of people in the world of supernatural beings and obtain the title of "Lingyu Zhenren".
It was just a routine meditation, and Zhang Lingyu was very familiar with it, so it was unlikely that anything would go wrong.
But today, everything is different.
"Entering into meditation" is the foundation of all extraordinary martial arts techniques. Today, Zhang Lingyu saw the person he had been trying to avoid—Xia He—while in meditation.
This happened more than half a year ago. He was ordered by his master to go down the mountain for training, and he accidentally encountered a girl named Xia He who had special abilities. She was being violated by other people with special abilities because of her uncontrollable innate abilities.
Zhang Lingyu stepped forward bravely and fought off several supernatural beings who intended to assault Xia He.
Seeing how pitiful the girl named Xia He was, and knowing that her supernatural abilities could indeed cause disaster if left uncontrolled, Zhang Lingyu stayed behind. He taught Xia He how to cultivate Qi and how to control her innate supernatural abilities.
Zhang Lingyu's understanding of the superpower "Xi Mu" was too superficial. He kept teaching Xia He to suppress her innate superpower, but some things that exist innately cannot be suppressed at will.
Therefore, one night, Xia He's Breathing Muscle ability went out of control due to excessive suppression. Zhang Lingyu also lost his virginity due to the powerful allure of the Breathing Muscle ability, and from then on, he had no hope of the "Yang Five Thunders" secretly passed down by the Celestial Master's Mansion, and could only accept the "Yin Five Thunders" created for those who had lost their virginity.
Afterwards, he fled Xiahe in a panic. Zhang Lingyu had grown up in the Celestial Master's Mansion since childhood, like a naturally formed piece of jade, but now that the jade had a flaw, he panicked.
Looking back, Zhang Lingyu felt somewhat sorry for Xia He. But when he tried to find out more about her, he learned that she had joined the Quanxing and was somewhat famous for her unique abilities.
Disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion must not associate with the evil people of the Quanxing Sect; this was a precept Zhang Lingyu had been taught since childhood.
From then on, Xia He became a source of worry for him.
He both loathed Xia He for joining the Quanxing sect and indulging herself, yet he couldn't suppress his feelings for her.
In the end, all the blame can be placed on oneself, blaming oneself for insufficient cultivation and for tarnishing the glory of the sect.
Originally, this was just a thorn buried in his heart, and it did not affect his daily Qi practice.
But today, the inner demon has materialized. In his meditation, Zhang Lingyu saw Xia He again, and this time, it was the same Xia He who had lost control of her body that night, alluring and seductive like a demon goddess.
Zhang Lingyu's heart involuntarily began to waver.
The mind and Qi are closely connected. Just as Feng Baobao said, when Zhang Chulan starts thinking about something astringent, his Qi will involuntarily flow downwards.
When the mind stirs, the Qi (vital energy) moves.
Zhang Lingyu was immersed in her inner demons, but her body was still autonomously breathing and practicing Qi.
Without the monarch's guidance, the ministers began to rebel. The originally smooth flow of energy began to stagnate; smooth energy brings good fortune, while stagnation brings misfortune, and misfortune is averted by evil.
The great medicine that Zhang Lingyu extracted from the human body through the Qi cultivation method of the Celestial Masters sect began to transform into wisps of evil energy and flow out of his body. The heart fire gave rise to fire evil, the liver wood gave rise to wood evil, the kidney water gave rise to water evil, the lung metal gave rise to metal evil, the spleen earth gave rise to earth evil, and the yin and yang energies began to evolve into the sun and moon evil.
The Three Corpse Gods within Zhang Lingyu's body began to materialize. In Taoist legends, the Three Corpse Gods are said to be overseeing deities. Every Gengshen day, the Three Corpse Gods would ascend to the Heavenly Court while people were asleep to report their sins to the God of Fate, hence the saying "guarding Gengshen".
Now these Three Corpse Gods have begun to materialize, transforming into various demons of affliction.
These evil spirits manipulated malevolent energy, merging into the unknowable void. They no longer worshipped the God of Fate, but instead gathered in the hands of Loran, who sat enthroned in the Heaven of Other Transformation.
These pure baleful energies are evolved from the great medicine of the human body. They can be used to refine the body, to forge weapons, and can even be restored to pure primordial energy to enhance one's cultivation.
Loran activated his three great demon-subduing divine powers, refining the pure demonic energy into a pure golden pill, which he swallowed in one gulp.
Those demonic thoughts extracted from the evil energy and originating from Zhang Lingyu were transformed into demons by Loran. As Loran subdued these demons one by one, they eventually became demon generals who served the Heavenly King Moro.
Loran's life cultivation also continuously improved during this process of consuming elixirs and refining demons.
Chapter 75 Under One Person: Fixed the bug where the cultivation world was free from external demonic interference.
Loran pointed again, and those demons fell from the Heaven of Other Transformation, infiltrating the human world through an invisible connection, finding their corresponding people, and beginning the external demonic invasion.
This is the new fighting style developed by Loran. Although the world of the Outcasts mostly resembles a martial arts world, its foundation is cultivation.
Even if the expressiveness is a bit weak, it is still a legitimate world of cultivation.
Since it's the world of cultivation, how can it be without the elements of demonic invasion and overcoming inner demonic tribulations?
In this world, cultivators can advance steadily as long as their cultivation is stable.
The so-called inner demons are nothing more than the evolution of distracting thoughts in the soul. As for overcoming the tribulation of inner demons or the invasion of external demons, those are just metaphors for overcoming desires in the process of cultivation.
But now that the demon Loran has arrived, he says things can't go on like this!
I shall lead the demonic path in this world; what kind of deformed and distorted beings is Quanxing?
Restoring the glory of the demonic path is his inescapable responsibility as the Prince of Moro.
We, as cultivators of the demonic path, must also have the ideals and methods of the demonic path.
Loran has decided to fix the bug that cultivators have no demons blocking their way. With my extraordinary wisdom, I will pave the way for the demonic path in this world!
The "Heavenly Demonic Spell" spread by Loran was created by him and is completely different from the version in Wugensheng's possession. Its purpose is to plant a demonic seed in the Quanxing sect members who have heard the "Heavenly Demonic Spell".
The reason why those who are fully enlightened can feel their cultivation speed accelerating is because the demonic seed is deeply rooted in their essence, energy, and spirit, pushing their cultivation speed by squeezing out their potential.
Loran was treating them like human pills to refine, just like he did to Ye Xian back then.
So the reason why cultivation has accelerated is because there's still Loran whipping you from behind!
However, even this encouragement wasn't free; Loran was just giving them a taste of what was to come. Later, Loran would recoup the principal with interest, an idea inspired by Shen Chong's "loan sharking" ability.
Having a more profound understanding of his own cultivation method? That's because Loran referenced the biological array he used in the Naruto world, using the demonic seed as a base station to connect his own mind with that of many others who had been implanted with the demonic seed into a local area network, with Loran himself as the administrator.
When they were contemplating their own methods, they weren't thinking alone; a whole group of people, including Loran, were thinking together.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang; if one person's wisdom is not enough, then the wisdom of many people should be put together.
Why is the pace of cultivation techniques in the world of supernatural beings far slower than that of modern science and technology? To a large extent, it is because the supernatural beings are all very secretive about their techniques. Even when they encounter problems, they dare not share them with others for fear that others will discover the secrets of their techniques.
This is also one of the reasons why many independent practitioners cannot compare with those from major sects. In major sects, there are a lot of fellow disciples and a lot of master-disciple relationships, all practicing the same methods. When they have problems with cultivation, can they discuss and ask each other for advice?
However, there is a lack of trust among casual acquaintances. Even those with extremely close relationships dare not casually reveal the foundation of their martial arts techniques.
This situation is like a dark forest, where every individual player and every sect is a hunter traversing it. Once their true nature is exposed, they will face the guns of other players and sects.
But now Loran has arrived, bringing with him his astonishing magical wisdom.
All the bastards of Quanxing, why don't you obediently contribute your wisdom to the King of Moro?
Loran, guided by the principle of "Otherworldly Free Heaven," connected the wisdom of everyone, much like the Misaka Network. Loran absorbed all their wisdom, then only gave them a few slivers, which was enough to make them exclaim that they had made a fortune.
How could Zhang Lingyu and the others, who had never heard of the "Otherworldly Demonic Curse," have fallen for it?
This goes back to the Grim Reaper Loran. In order to add data to the Universal Database, the Grim Reaper Loran had been sweeping through Hueco Mundo.
It's important to understand that the strength of a Hollow's abilities depends on the strength of its own soul, but this doesn't mean that only powerful Hollows possess excellent abilities.
Some weak Hollows can also evolve some decent abilities, such as the mimicry decoy ability that Grand Fisher evolved, and the magical Hollow that can steal memories that appeared in the Bleach movie "Call Your Name".
The original form of that Hollow was weak, but it grew to be exceptionally powerful. The other party's so-called memory stealing was not just about taking away the memories in a person's mind.
For example, the siblings who merged with that Hollow stole Rukia's memories, and at the same time, they stole everyone else's memories as well. In other words, Rukia's existence is absent from the memories of everyone in the entire Soul Society.
Similarly, Ichigo Kurosaki only came into contact with Soul Society because of Rukia, so when everyone in Soul Society forgot about Rukia, they also forgot about Ichigo Kurosaki.
Renji painstakingly trained his Bankai in order to rescue Rukia, so when Rukia's memories were completely erased, Renji even forgot that he knew Bankai. In the end, Zabimaru, unable to bear it any longer, came out to remind Renji.
Even Ichigo Kurosaki forgot about Rukia for a time, and only remembered her after being reminded by Kon.
What this has stolen is not just memories, it has stolen the very cause and effect.
According to Kisuke Urahara, people's memories are actually interconnected and can never be separated.
Therefore, the Grim Reaper Loran took notice of such incredible abilities and eventually found the siblings during a trip to Hueco Mundo, acquiring their powers.
Its power, which Death God Loran would call "the Heart-Severing Blade Technique."
The so-called "emotion" truly exists in the world of Death, where souls exist; or rather, it is a unique information entity based on the level of the soul.
It is like a series of silk threads, or "emotional threads," connecting all sentient beings and forming a vast network, or "karma."
The illusion that severs memories actually cuts off the "feelings" between people, thereby severing the "connections" between them.
As for why the soul and the Zanpakuto are unaffected, it may be because they are not naturally formed but are incomplete souls created by humans, and have not been included in the great net of karma by the great beings in the dark.
Ichigo and his friends were able to regain their memories because although their "fate" was broken, their "separation" still existed.
In other words, the other party only severed the "cause," but the "effect" was not eliminated.
Naturally, the karmic connections will be re-established.
This bugged skill involving cause and effect was also valued by Loran. Moreover, each of Loran's demon seeds was connected to the Otherworldly Realm within the inner landscape. Therefore, Loran could use the threads of affection to guide the connection of the demon seeds to others.
For example, although Zhang Lingyu had never heard of the "Otherworldly Demon Mantra", Xia He had.
Xia He's affections were tightly bound to Zhang Lingyu, while Zhang Lingyu's affections were also tied to Xia He. Their emotions were so intense and twisted that Luo Lan, following this thread of affection, spread the influence of the demonic seed into Zhang Lingyu's body.
Even in a solitary world, fate and cause and effect are important, but ultimately, its worldview is based on the Taoist theory that Qi gives rise to all things.
Therefore, this influence was ultimately reflected in Qi, which Loran then combined with his own Heavenly Demon Divine Power, "Seven Fiends of the Heavenly Demon".
These demons infiltrate the human body, arouse the three corpses to become troublesome demons, steal the great medicine that cultivators have painstakingly refined, and then transform it into evil energy to return to the Heaven of Other Transformation and Freedom, becoming nourishment for Loran.
In Loran's eyes, Quanxing was a bunch of consumables that could be consumed at any time, while the Righteous Path was a blessed field that could continuously produce wealth.
Therefore, in order to ensure a sustainable supply, Loran would only steal a portion each time, instead of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, as he did with Quanxing.
Futian can offer sacrifices to the Buddha, and the Buddha also guides people to enlightenment. Mara, the king of the gods, does not have the Buddha's lofty ideals; he only exploits and does not guide.
It's not that you can't be saved at all. As long as you can defeat and subdue the demon sent by the King of Moro, then the fortune that belongs to the demon will be entirely yours.
At that time, not only will you not be able to take away what you have created, but you can also steal the devil's share.
Whether one crosses the river or falls into ruin depends entirely on one's talent and ability.
Chapter 76 Under One Person: Samadhi Fire
The Zhuge family, descendants of Zhuge Liang, are renowned throughout the world for their inherited skills in the art of divination and strategic planning.
The Zhuge family members are intelligent and shrewd; to outsiders, their knowledge appears overly complex.
The complex art of Qimen Dunjia requires study.
I also learned the external martial arts techniques of striking the ribs with an iron ruler and pouring oil from a pot onto the head.
