Special War God

Just when Jiao Bohu and Zuoqiu Juemin were both feeling anxious, Xia Zhongnan finally spoke.

He said, "Master Jiao, I have a wonderful book on hand that describes the secret method of alchemy, called "The Book of Alchemy". The passage I read earlier is the general outline of "The Book of Alchemy".

As soon as Xia Zhongnan said this, Jiao Bohu felt his heart pounding, his heart was beating fast, and he was extremely nervous.

After a short pause, Xia Zhongnan continued, "I want to give this book to Master Jiao, but I have one request."

Hearing this, Jiao Bohu's heart was tangled again, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Young Palace Master, what do you want? Please tell me directly."

Xia Zhongnan looked at Jiao Bohu firmly and said, "I hope Master Jiao can join my Wentian Palace and preside over the establishment of Danding Hall and serve as the master of the hall. I can provide you with 10,000 new disciples for you to choose from, and select hundreds of them to join Danding Hall. Among them, those with organizational talents will assist you in managing the affairs of the hall, and the rest of the disciples will study the way of alchemy with you.

In addition, I will also set up a Foreign Affairs Pavilion. The elixirs refined by the Dan Ding Palace will be provided to the disciples of this palace for use. The rest can be sold to other sects and independent cultivators by the Foreign Affairs Pavilion. At the same time, the Foreign Affairs Pavilion will also be responsible for purchasing all the spiritual plants, elixir furnaces and other necessary items for the Dan Ding Palace to refine elixirs. "

After hearing this, Jiao Bohu's eyes flickered and he tried his best to stay calm.

As a lone cultivator, he had gone through hardships and traveled among many sects to seek shelter, but he never got what he wanted because he was not of much value to the sect and would only waste resources. It was not until he was able to refine the Ningyuan Pill that his life changed dramatically. In order to ask him to refine the pill, many sects came to show their goodwill and win him over. No matter where he went, he was treated with courtesy. Zuoqiu Juemin, the deputy palace master of Wentian Fairy Palace, was no exception. He was respectful to him and did not dare to neglect him.

Jiao Bohu is very satisfied with his current life. He can be self-sufficient in cultivation resources through his own alchemy. Joining a sect may become a constraint. What's more, Xia Zhongnan's condition is that he should teach his disciples the art of alchemy, and not just one or two people, but hundreds or even thousands! Once he has trained so many disciples, there will be many people making alchemy in the future. Will he still be as popular as he is now?

He wanted to refuse, but the temptation of the book "Alchemy Dao Can Tong Qi" was too great to resist. From Xia Zhongnan's casual mention, he had already sensed its profound connotations. Without this book, Xia Zhongnan would never have been able to demonstrate such a profound attainment in the theory of alchemy.

A person who doesn't even know how to make elixirs can understand this by reading this book. If it falls into his hands, his alchemy skills will surely achieve a qualitative leap.

On the one hand, there is freedom, and on the other hand, there is the desire to climb to a higher level in the alchemy path. Jiao Bohu is in deep entanglement.

After Xia Zhongnan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rested, waiting for Jiao Bohu to make his own decision.

Zuoqiu Guanchen's eyes moved, first looking at Xia Xuannan and then at Jiao Taichu. He couldn't help but feel worried about Jiao Taichu's situation, but at the same time he secretly admired Xia Xuannan's cleverness, and put Jiao Taichu in such a dilemma with just one word and one action. He knew that no matter what choice Jiao Taichu made, he would probably regret it afterwards.

After a moment, Jiao Taichu said in a somewhat humble tone: "Young Palace Master, can you change your request? For example, I can refine elixirs for Wentian Fairyland for free for five years, and I only ask that you can grant me a brief opportunity to observe the "Taiqing Yuanshen Zhenjie"."

Xia Xuannan still closed his eyes and rested, as if he had not heard Jiao Taichu's words.

Jiao Taichu gritted his teeth and raised the stakes: "Ten years, I am willing to refine elixirs for Wentian Fairyland unconditionally for ten years, this will at least satisfy the Young Palace Master's requirements!"

Xia Xuannan then opened his eyes, looked at Jiao Taichu with a slight smile in his heart, and said slowly: "Master Jiao, my request remains unchanged, but I can give you a suggestion for reference. I wonder what level of cultivation you have reached at this moment?"

Jiao Taichu responded: "It has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

Xia Xuannan continued, "Master, do you have the confidence to enter the realm of breaking through the void in the future?"

Jiao Taichu said in a deep voice: "The road is bumpy. Being able to cultivate to the late stage of Nascent Soul is already the limit for me."

Xia Xuannan smiled and said, "It seems that Master should accept my proposal. How can the short-term freedom in front of us be compared with the exploration of the Great Dao? Especially the Great Dao that is so closely related to the Dao of Alchemy."

When Jiao Taichu heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you mean, Young Palace Master?"

Xia Xuannan explained, "I have mentioned to you before that the technique I practice is closely related to the philosophy of Dan Dao. If you choose to stay, I am happy to share my technique with you. With your attainments in Dan Dao, your understanding of practice will surely reach a higher level. In my opinion, you really can't find any reason to refuse."

Jiao Taichu's mind suddenly became clear after hearing this, and he said with deep agreement: "Although the time in the mountains is short, the world has been prosperous for a thousand years. Young Palace Master is right. Compared with the pursuit of the great way, what is the point of a few freedoms? Okay, I promise Young Palace Master that I am willing to stay here!"

Xia Xuannan laughed out loud: "Then congratulations to Master Jiao for becoming a member of my Wentian Fairyland. This handwritten copy of "The True Explanation of Taiqing Yuanshen" is given to Master Jiao for his study."

As soon as he finished speaking, a book called "Taiqing Yuancan Zhenjie" written by Xia Xuannan himself appeared in his hands and was handed to the excited Jiao Taichu.

Jiao Taichu carefully took the book and couldn't wait to flip through it by candlelight. He was so immersed in it as soon as he started reading that he didn't even notice the departure of Xia Xuannan and Zuoqiu Guanchen.

After leaving Jiao Taichu's residence, Zuoqiu Guanchen said to Xia Xuannan with great emotion: "My friend, you are really one step ahead of others. Lao Zhao and I have tried our best to solve the problem, but I didn't expect you to solve it so easily with just one move."

Xia Xuannan smiled calmly: "I just happened to have what he needed. If not, this matter would not be easily resolved."

Zuoqiu Guanchen continued, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, so I will accompany you to the Young Palace Master's residence that has been prepared for you!"

Wentian Fairyland was recently built, with winding corridors, open squares, quiet courtyards and magnificent halls. Zuoqiu Guanchen originally planned to take Xia Xuannan on a tour, but as night fell, he changed the plan to the next day.

However, when they arrived at the so-called "Young Palace Master's" residence, they found that the master house had been occupied by Xu Qing, who was drinking fine wine and tasting delicious food alone in the house, enjoying it.

Zuo Qiumingyang couldn't help but ask, "Fairy Xu, I specially prepared a secluded courtyard for you. Why did you come to the residence of the young palace master?"

Xu Yanyu smiled and responded: "Although that place is elegant, it does not suit my temperament. This place makes me feel comfortable. There are many houses in this courtyard. Young Palace Master Xia can choose any one as a place for cultivation."

Zuoqiu Mingyang wanted to say more, but Xia Zhongnan had long been accustomed to this kind of easy-going life, and said calmly: "Deputy Palace Master, please go back. I will choose a place to practice in seclusion. There are still important matters to discuss tomorrow."

As everyone knows, this is a world where cultivation is popular, and countless creatures dream of ascending to immortality. Cultivation sects are even more sacred places in people's hearts. Even people like Liu Dabazi, Zhao Delin, and Zuoqiu Mingyang, who were once independent cultivators or drifting in declining sects, suffered hardships and joined the army to seek a way out. Although there are many cultivators in the army now, most of them have only learned the skills in the past six months, entered the path of cultivation, and possessed power beyond the mundane.

Now, they suddenly have their own affiliation, their own sect, their own unique skills, and the sect is full of vitality. How can they not be excited and happy about this?

Zuoqiu Mingyang first briefly introduced the current situation of the sect to Xia Zhongnan: Liu Dabazi is the palace master, Xia Zhongnan serves as the junior palace master, and there are many deputy palace masters, including Zuoqiu Mingyang, Zhao Delin, Duan Qianbao, Mao Zizhuang, Qiu Butong, Qi Laifu and others, and Gu Xiuzhan holds the title of deputy palace master. They are all cultivators in the God Transformation Stage.

There are many halls under the sect, such as the Law Enforcement Hall, Internal Affairs Hall, War Hall, and Dark Hall, all of which are headed by the deputy palace master. Zuo Qiumingyang is the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. He used to be responsible for military regulations and discipline, but now his responsibilities extend to the sect; Qi Laifu is in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall, just like he was responsible for logistics in the army in the past, and now it is called the Internal Affairs Hall; Zhao Delin is in charge of the War Hall, which is the hall responsible for fighting and fighting. He is in charge of the Wentian Escort Agency and is the leader of all the disciples; Duan Qianbao is in charge of the Dark Hall, responsible for collecting intelligence, and the intelligence personnel sent earlier are under his command.

The other halls were established for the outward expansion of the Immortal Palace's power. For example, the Xiyuan Hall in the western region was headed by Qiu Butong.

Xia Zhongnan had no intention of changing these original divisions, and directly announced: "From today on, I will add several halls in Wentian Fairy Palace, starting with the Dan Hall. The position of the hall master will be taken by Master Jiao Bohu. Please go and invite Master Jiao to come."

Zhao Delin didn't know that Jiao Bohu had agreed to join the sect, but because he was very excited, he went to invite Jiao Bohu in person. Some people in the sect knew that Jiao Bohu had been refining pills in the sect, but some people knew nothing about it. At this time, everyone knew that Wentian Fairy Palace had its own alchemist, and everyone was delighted.

Jiao Bohu spent the whole night studying the secret book of "Santongqi" given by Xia Zhongnan. When he was immersed in it, he was hurriedly pulled over by the overjoyed Zhao Delin...

Xia Zhongnan said, "Master Jiao is in charge of the Alchemy Hall. I have promised that Master Jiao can select outstanding disciples to join the Alchemy Hall. Deputy Palace Master Zuoqiu needs to accompany Master Jiao to select candidates. In addition, a Foreign Affairs Pavilion will be set up. I would like to ask Si Zheming to take charge of the position of Pavilion Master."

The existence of the Alchemy Hall naturally needs no elaboration, but when it comes to the functions of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion, everyone is still confused.

When Si Zheming heard that Xia Zhongnan nominated him to be the head of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion, he was also shocked.

Xia Zhongnan continued, "I have already said that there are many cultivators in the Wentian Immortal Sect who practice Taoism, and they need a huge amount of spiritual materials. We must rely on our own efforts to obtain them. Although we have established the Wentian Escort Agency, Hongchen Restaurant and Qianqiu Teahouse, they are still insufficient and we need to expand our financial resources. And this Foreign Affairs Pavilion is an important department dedicated to expanding our sect and making money. Sizhe clearly showed his management style, so I chose him as the Pavilion Master..."

He explained in detail the important tasks of the Foreign Affairs Office. Only then did everyone understand why Xia Zhongnan insisted on letting the inexperienced Si Zheming take on this important position. After all, if Si Zheming had not managed the Hongchen Restaurant and Qianqiu Teahouse, he would not even be qualified to attend the meeting. Most of the others were stationed in the army all year round and did not have the business management talent of Si Zheming.

Speaking of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion, Xia Zhongnan added: "Don't forget the matter of the Formation Hall. The hall master is Lu Mingyuan. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone laughed faintly.

Lu Mingyuan's mighty Ten Directions Blood Evil Formation outside Feiyue Gorge had made great military achievements in the past. Now that the Wentian Immortal Sect has been able to return to Feiyue Gorge and enjoy peace, it is all thanks to the formation set up by Lu Mingyuan. He has also trained hundreds of disciples who are proficient in formations and is quite prestigious in the army.

Apart from this, Xia Zhongnan has no intention of setting up any further facilities.

After everyone had digested what he had said before, Xia Zhongnan said, "There is a relic of an immortal palace hidden in the heart of Fengqi Mountain."

Many people looked at him with confusion on their faces.

The members of Wentian Immortal Palace knew very little about the way of cultivating the Tao. After all, most of them came from the lower class of the mortal world, so they had no deep understanding of what an immortal palace was.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Zuoqiu Juemin explained, “In the world we live in, there were also supreme beings that transcended the state of harmony with the Tao in the past, the so-called gods and immortals. It’s a pity that later, for unknown reasons, no one could reach that state anymore, and those high-level gods and immortals in the past also passed away and left our world.

However, even if the immortals and gods have left, their former residences remain in the world and are revered as immortal palace ruins.

Whenever a fairy palace ruins appears in the world, it often triggers a fight among the major forces. It is said that many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and medicines have been deposited over the years and have turned into treasures of heaven and earth; many fairy palace ruins also have secret cultivation methods left by immortals..."

Everyone looked at Xia Zhongnan with admiration. This "young palace master" was indeed very capable. He would come up with something big every once in a while. He had just established the Heavenly Questioning Palace not long ago, and now a fairy palace ruin had appeared...

After Zuoqiu Wuchen finished his introduction, Xia Zhongyang continued, "The existence of this immortal palace ruins is not yet widely known, but it has been known by the two great sects, the Tianfeng Holy Sect and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace. Although the Piaomiao Immortal Palace has few forces in this area, in order to counter the Tianfeng Holy Sect, they invited me to go to this ruins."

Zhao Yuanlin said, "Young Palace Master, this matter needs to be handled with caution. After all, both the Heavenly Phoenix Holy Sect and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace are supreme sects. Joining forces with them would be like courting disaster."

Xia Zhongyang looked at Zhao Yuanlin and praised him, "The deputy palace master is really observant and saw through the danger at a glance. It is indeed dangerous to form an alliance with them, but if I give up, I will feel uneasy in my heart, so I came back to discuss countermeasures with you all."
