I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 35: Jianghu Affairs (Part )
"Things in the martial arts world are always like this, with the old always replaced by the new. Fortunately, our Guangde Temple has a long history, which is why we have been able to grow stronger and stronger and have achieved our current status. Everyone, you must practice diligently."

Fa Ying sighed slightly, then changed the subject and talked about the details of how he captured the Yuya thief.

From how the trap was set up, all the way to the end, he talked about how the Jade Tooth Thief had superb martial arts skills and escaped by luck after using smoke to ambush. He talked about every detail and Li Ming listened with great interest.

But after he finished speaking, there was still some time before lunch, so Faying spoke.

"If you have anything else to ask, feel free to ask me."

Hearing this, Li Mingke could no longer hold back and asked the question immediately.

"Uncle Master Faying, although I have only just entered the post-natal stage and haven't been condensing my Qi for long, I also want to know what is so special about the innate masters and what realm is above the innate level."

Faying was not surprised to hear this and nodded slightly.

"A congenital master goes against the grain and cultivates a breath of congenital qi. We, the acquired warriors, are divided into three realms: training qi like mist, training qi like water, and training qi like mercury. Although the true qi is becoming more and more condensed and can be released from the body, the essence remains unchanged."

"But the Xiantian realm is very different. Once you reach the Xiantian realm, you transform your true qi into Gangqi, which is like being reborn. You can change your meridians and cut your marrow. The life essence of Xiantian masters is different from ours. The proof is that Xiantian masters can live for 200 years, while if we don't reach the Xiantian realm, we can only live for 80 to 90 years at most."

"As for what's above the innate?" Fa Ying paused.

"It's the realm of supernatural powers. It's said that reaching this level is not impossible to move mountains and overturn seas. Unfortunately, I have never seen one. I have only heard that there is only one master of supernatural powers in our Yunzhou, the great scholar Cheng Xin. He lives in Yang'an City. It is said that twenty years ago, the Dragon King of Guangze Lake sent heavy rain to Yang'an City for three consecutive months, threatening to flood the people. Mr. Cheng was unable to bear it, so he used a piece of calligraphy to disperse the dark clouds, saving the people of the city, and later settled here."

"Of course, supernatural powers are by no means the end of the world. I just don't know what kind of people are above them. Anyway, our Guangde Temple's Ciyue Patriarch should also be a powerful person in the supernatural power realm. The four major holy places must also have masters above supernatural powers. Otherwise, this world would have been overthrown by evil demons long ago."

"Magic power? Dragon King?" Li Ming's eyebrows twitched and his expression was a little distorted.

Several young monks also showed surprised expressions, obviously it was the first time they heard it.

When Fa Ying saw this expression, he smiled, as if to say, "I like the fact that you are so naive."

"So, don't be a frog in a well. You must know that there are always people better than you. However, in today's martial arts world, the innate masters are enough to dominate a region. Most of the supernatural realm masters are elusive. If you are interested, next time, your uncle will bring you the latest Ascension Record. It was published by the imperial court. It records and ranks the supernatural realm masters who have made moves over the past hundred years."

Appeared!
The Heavenly Ranking is a must-have for high-level martial arts. Although it has a new name, are there still the Innate Ranking and the Young Heroes Ranking?
Li Ming complained silently in his heart, but in the process he also digested the fact that the main world seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.

"What is a Dragon King?" Li Ming pressed. "Mountain spirits and wild monsters, occasionally blessed with opportunities and awakening their spiritual wisdom, can embark on the path of cultivation. The Guangze Dragon King is a prime example. He's incredibly powerful, and his physique offers significant advantages over us humans. It's just that his cultivation is slow, and of course, his lifespan is generally longer."

"Some powerful people occupy the mountains and become kings. As long as they don't do anything that angers heaven and man, no one will usually bother them. But if they wantonly kill us humans, there will naturally be righteous masters who will strangle them."

"What about this Dragon King? How dare he summon the clouds and rain to drown an entire city of people?"

There was no need for Li Ming to ask further questions, as other young monks had already started asking.

Fa Ying replied, "This is an old case. It is said that someone in Yang'an City murdered his only son first, so he flooded the city. He was right in this matter. Moreover, Yang'an City was not conquered, and no serious consequences were caused. That is why Mr. Cheng let him go."

Then Faying smiled and said, "Masters of supernatural powers are too far away from you. Don't be too ambitious. First, lay a solid foundation. You must know that our Guangde Temple has been established for 500 years and has never produced a master of supernatural powers."

Seeing this, Li Ming quickly asked, "Uncle Master, I wonder what forces are around us? How many of them are friendly with Guangde Temple and how many are hostile? This will help us distinguish them when we travel the world in the future."

Fa Ying thought for a moment and then replied, "Okay, I'll tell you about it."

"Yunzhou has three counties: Lingyun County, Biyun County, and Qiongyun County. Our Guangde Temple was established in Lingyun County. Lingyun County has three major forces. In addition to our temple, there are two other major forces. One is the Sanhe Gang. The leader of the Sanhe Gang is also Lei Biao, a Xiantian master. This man is not only a martial arts master but also has great ambitions. He was born in the Black Tiger Gang. After becoming the leader, he annexed the other two gangs that had always been against him, the Bizhu Gang and the Cao Gang. Later, he devoted himself to practicing and breaking through to the Xiantian level."

"The other family is the Li family. It's said that the current head of the Li family, Li Cangdong, is a descendant of the Li family, one of the eight great families in the world. He set up his own family and built a great family business from scratch in just forty years. He is also very magnanimous. Fortunately, our Guangde Temple has always been kind to others. We are located between the two families and have a good relationship with them."

Fa Ying thought for a moment and said, "There are some other small sects that are not beyond the realm of the innate. I won't introduce them to you one by one. If you go out and mention the name of our Guangde Temple, they will at least give you some face."

"If there is a festival"

Faying pondered for a moment and said, "It's probably the Baixiang Temple in Qiongyun County. Although Buddhism and Taoism have different philosophies, we have a good relationship with Xuanxin Temple. If we meet fellow Taoists or seniors from Xuanxin Temple, we should pay attention to etiquette. However, Baixiang Temple, which is also a temple, is..."

Faying sighed deeply: "Ah, Amitabha, Amitabha."

"Uncle Faying, what happened in Baixiang Temple?" another young monk asked.

Fa Ying didn't answer but waved his hand and said, "Let's stop here for today. You don't need to come tomorrow. I've already told you what I've seen and heard during this period. If you're really curious or have something to ask, you can come to me privately. Now, let's go to the dining hall."
