Chapter 131 Resources!

There are two kinds of resources in this world.

One is essence and blood, which requires population supply. In theory, only warlock families need such resources, or more accurately, evil spirits need them.

High-quality blood essence can make evil spirits grow faster, and through the transformation of evil spirits, sorcerers can gain spiritual power. This is why warriors are hostile to sorcerers. In essence, these sorcerer nobles rely on sucking blood for a living. These high-quality warriors are a delicious meal for sorcerers.

The second resource is spiritual fields.

High-quality blood essence requires high-quality warriors. A warrior's blood essence is obtained through decades of hard training. If you want to maintain it, you have to control the resources. The species planted in the spiritual fields are more or less evil. If you eat them for a long time, there will be more or less major problems with the body, and the body may even breed evil spirits that will directly devour the warrior.

But it must be said that the species produced by such spiritual fields are of great benefit to warriors. By eating the species from the spiritual fields, warriors grow more than ten times faster than ordinary people. This is a warrior resource.

In ancient dynasties, except for a few martial arts sects, the spiritual fields were actually controlled by sorcerer families, and the warriors who ate the species from the spiritual fields were the blood cows raised by the sorcerers.

In the Jin Dynasty, the status of warriors was unprecedentedly improved. The design of the World Martial Pastoral System allowed a large number of spiritual fields to belong to the hands of nobles and martial arts sects. The sorcerer families could no longer monopolize the spiritual fields to control the warriors, thus forming a situation of mutual checks and balances.

In theory, all spiritual fields in the world must be recorded and taxed. The court relies on the collected spiritual crops to exchange for the essence and blood of warriors to support the sorcerer families. This is the basic essence of the court's current maintenance.

And in this balance, the Grandmaster is the one who almost breaks it!

Thousands of years ago, the highest pinnacle for warriors was the first rank, and there was no concept of a grandmaster at all. The reason was that the sorcerers before would not allow warriors to continue to grow, and when a warrior reached the first rank, he would often have accumulated a lot of evil spirits in his body. This was also the reason why warriors did not live long, and often the higher the realm, the more miserable their death would be.

In the Great Jin Dynasty, sorcerers were required to eliminate evil spirits for official warriors under the threat of the imperial court!

Otherwise, when the warrior controls the spiritual field, he will not be restricted by the sorcerer at all. The sorcerer can eliminate the evil spirits, and the warrior can provide essence and blood, so that the current balance can be formed between them.

The problem with the Grandmaster is that, when he reaches that level, the evil spirits born from his body are all at the level of Yin Gods!
If there is no top sorcerer to cooperate in removing it, even the most powerful warrior will eventually be tortured to death by the evil spirit. This is the origin of the so-called quota.
The sects and nobles in the world have developed for thousands of years, and the resources accumulated in secret could have supported many masters long ago. Why are there only five people in the world?
Because this position is tightly held by the aristocratic families, without the intervention of a Nine Ministers-level sorcerer or a guardian god, no one can be sure of eradicating the evil spirits accumulated in the top master-level warriors. So no matter how many resources you have, as long as the sorcerer family does not agree, you will not be able to become a master. Once you try to become a master privately, it will eventually lead to a big evil spirit disturbing the country, and this martial arts sect will be besieged by the court.

This is also one of the means used by the imperial court to restrain the martial arts sects.

When a Master Yi appeared on Donghuang Island, it caused shock to the whole court because there was actually a master-level evil spirit exterminator on Donghuang Island. Now everyone knows that the master of Painting Spirit is behind it.

Nowadays, if a sect in the martial arts world wants to produce the next grandmaster, even the Tianyi Sect with the deepest heritage must make enough contributions to have a chance.

There is no telling how many Grandmaster candidates there are in the world, but if you want to become a Grandmaster, you need the approval of the imperial court and the sorcerer family!
So when Zhang Rui said that he had a place, Qing Yunzi and others looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Where did Lord Zhang get his quota? Did His Majesty grant it to you?"

Honestly speaking, if the other party nodded, Qing Yunzi would turn around and leave. If the emperor could easily control the Grandmaster's quota, he would not be so passive. The royal family does not have a top-level sorcerer, so what can they use to eliminate evil spirits for the Grandmaster?

When Mr. Ye became a master, it was because Mr. Tianji used the four spirits to calculate it, and this situation would never happen a second time, because the aristocratic family would not let this happen again. The royal family's last chance to create a master without authorization is gone.

"I don't have that blessing." Zhang Rui shook his head.

"Where did that sir's quota come from?"

"I can only promise to help you get rid of the evil once." Qing Yunzi: "!!"

Hong Lie also widened his eyes: "Master Zhang, this joke of yours is a bit too much."

Even the Nine Ministers sorcerer dared not say that they could eradicate the evil spirit at the level of the Yin God. Every time, they had to mobilize the Yin God to guard the country. In specific occasions, they used the constraints of barriers, but they could not guarantee that it would be foolproof. In the past thousand years, the Tianyi Sect had produced three masters, and only two of them succeeded. One of them exploded to death after failing to eradicate the evil spirit.

"If Lord Zhang is here to tease us, then there is no need to waste time." Qing Yunzi's voice turned cold and he secretly glared at Hong Lie. He could see that his stupid disciple was obviously being used.

Hong Lie was also ashamed and secretly angry. This Zhang seemed quite reliable before. Why did he do this?
"It is said that the most likely successor to the old Grandmaster in Tianyi Sect is the youngest Sect Leader, Taoist Tianyunzi. But now it seems that it is just the outside world saying it. The real successor of Tianyi Sect is you, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, murderous intent appeared in the eyes of both Qingyunzi and Lingyunzi. If it weren't for the current situation where they would definitely not be able to escape if they killed someone, they would probably have taken action at the first moment.

The selection of Grand Masters is a top secret in any sect. Not to mention outsiders, only a few elders in the sect know about it. After all, once an evil spirit is born in one's body, one may be devoured by it when fighting with others, and is most likely to be plotted against by others.

In the history of Jianghu, such incidents have occurred in several competitions between major sects, and some have even led to the destruction of the sects.
"Well, let me take a look." Zhang Rui ignored the murderous intent of the other party and looked at the thing on Qing Yunzi's body and said, "Senior, do you often feel unbearable heat, and feel the meridians burning and unbearable pain after midnight every night?"

"How did you know that?" Qing Yunzi was even more shocked this time. Even the head of the sect didn't know about his situation. After all, this was his personal experience.
"I can tell." Zhang Rui stared at the thing on Qing Yunzi's body and said calmly, "If you can tell what it is, you will naturally know what will happen."

Qing Yunzi's pupils shrank. He clearly felt that the other party could really see the things on his body. Moreover, the things on his body seemed extremely uneasy under the other party's gaze!
Shouldn't it really be possible?
Since the mysterious Mr. Zhang came to Beijing, countless forces have been investigating his background. Although no one has been able to find out what family he comes from, after all, a hidden family will have limited power no matter how great it is.

Suppressing Qi Zheng in Qingfeng Tower a few days ago was already beyond everyone's expectations. If he could also eradicate the evil spirits, wouldn't that be a bit too much?
"If my guess is correct, the evil spirit in you has only been around for three years at most." Zhang Rui continued, "So in this year's World Competition, Tianyi Sect should have sent out all its elite members, preparing to win enough places in one fell swoop, and then directly apply for the Grandmaster position, right?"

"Actually, to be precise, you should have taken action last time. The evil spirit in you should have been dealt with three years ago."

"Lord Zhang is truly not a simple person." Qing Yunzi interrupted the other party and his eyes became serious.

No matter how this person knows all this, he should not be underestimated.

Just as the other party said, three years ago, the Tianyi Sect had planned to send out all its best men to seize the qualification. But three years ago, His Majesty suddenly announced that he would find a consort for Princess Yueyao. Not only did this make many young men from aristocratic families eager to try, but countless nobles and famous men from martial arts world also planned to show off their abilities. After all, it was not uncommon for princesses to marry young men from famous martial arts worlds. There were even cases where a sect relied on the princesses to obtain the position of Grandmaster.

This move forced Tianyi Sect to wait for a period of time. This time, as the other party said, they could not wait any longer!

“If you don’t believe me, I can help you relieve the pain now.” Zhang Rui approached and said.

"Now?" Qing Yunzi was stunned.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Rui took out a small box from his sleeve. In the box was a knife as thin as a cicada's wing. Zhang Rui took the knife and slowly approached Qing Yunzi's dantian.

"Senior Brother!" Ling Yunzi next to him immediately became alert, and Hong Lie also frowned and looked at Zhang Rui.

At this distance, a sorcerer shouldn't normally plot against a warrior, but Zhang Rui's strength is unquestionable. If he really does use some tricks, his master is the future of Tianyi Sect!

"Don't move!" Qing Yunzi quickly stopped the two of them, and when he looked at Zhang Rui's knife, there was excitement in his eyes.

Because he could clearly feel that the other party's knife was scaring the evil spirit in his body!
Maybe this guy can
