From a young medicine seller to a Taoist master

Ying Zijian clapped his hands to indicate yes.

I believe that everyone who has come here understands what I mean and is mentally prepared, so I will not waste any more words, Ying Zijian said calmly.

"Master Sima, you have lit the way forward for us. We are all grateful to you and are willing to follow you," said a young man with a firm gaze.

(The author's rendering of the atmosphere is not good enough. I have no experience in this area and don't know how to write it.)

Well, since you all understand, I won’t say anything else. From now on, you don’t have to call me elder, just call me sir. If I find out that anyone dares to betray me, the outcome will be... I don’t need to say more. There was a murderous intent hidden in Ying Zijian’s calm eyes.

He could kill the boys and girls present without being suspected.

Ying Zijian clenched his left fist and hammered it against his right chest, giving a secret signal.

The same was true for the young boys and girls present.

As for what they are responsible for, the decision needs to be made through their network of relationships. Although Ying Zijian has not yet determined the specific matters, there is already an idea, and it only needs to be confirmed.

Ying Zijian asked them to talk about their networks one by one. He arranged them according to the networks and then divided them into groups named after the twelve zodiac signs.

The original intention was to decide the twenty-eight constellations, but on second thought, the elders are not fools. Once someone is caught and tells the truth, they will immediately understand that there is a risk of total annihilation.

(The Azure Dragon and other four sacred beasts are in the background setting.)

They are only at the initial stage of the first transformation now, and cannot yet achieve the results that Yingchuan expected. Some investment is needed in the early stages, but the clan hall will also provide the foundation.

Everyone understood what it meant, which meant that Yingchuan’s first goal was successfully achieved and that they had initial trust and execution.

Ying Zijian gave each team leader a storage ring, which contained 10,000 yuan worth of stones.

The reason why he gave so much was because Ying Zijian had other plans. It was like planting a seed and letting them grow and develop on their own. Each member would meet the team leader and Ying Zijian directly, which could not only ensure development and control, but also prevent total annihilation and allow them to survive.

Everyone dispersed as if nothing had happened. They had not yet developed the necessary capabilities, but that did not mean they would not develop them in the future.

The next day, the clan hall welcomed a new batch of leeks, and it was truly thriving.

What’s different from previous years is that Yingchuan has planted a seed here that will thrive again.

It was the same experience as last year, as an elder once again gave them a second-level Bai Zhu Gu.

At the same time, this also reminded Yingchuan that he could collect poisonous insects, let them refine them, and then modify them himself so that he could fully exert the power of the middle stage of the fifth transformation.

Ying Zijian also understood what this meant. Now he had something to do and was not too bored.

At this time, some owners of gambling stone shops felt a chill in their backs and had a bad feeling, as if they were being watched.

Ying Zijian changed his own aura and came to these stone archways. His main purpose this time was to assist those who were at the fourth level and above, as well as some at the third level.

When a Gu Master reaches the fourth level, he will no longer use a single Gu worm. In order to exert stronger combat power, he will often use multiple Gu worms at the same time without any restrictions.

What matters is the quality of the poisonous insects rather than their quantity. What he needs to do is to collect those high-quality poisonous insects.

But as for the stone shop, there are not many really good goods. Most of them are empty. There are not many fourth-level ones, and Ying Zijian has not seen any fifth-level ones yet.

However, he was lucky this time as he got a fifth-level one. He bought the stone that contained a fourth-level or higher poisonous insect.

As for why you don’t go out to look for it in the wild, only a sick person would do that. Let’s not talk about whether you can find it or not. If you find it, you’re just a delivery man.

The fifth-level Gu worm was enough to attract some hidden fourth- and fifth-level Gu Masters, so he planned to go back and open another one.

A fifth-turn Wind and Wave Gu. After Ying Chuan opened the stone, he found a fifth-turn Wind and Wave Gu.

But they can’t do it now. They are not strong enough to refine it yet. They have to put it aside for a while. They need at least three transformations.

It is either hopeless to advance to the third level with Grade C qualifications, or the chance is too small and it consumes too many resources, so no one will try. However, Yingchuan can do it.

However, all this will take time, and the poisonous insects need to continue to be collected to form a school of combat power.

This kind of life passed quickly. After two years, the clan hall usually lasted for two years, and then it was turned into leeks and thrown into various departments of the family.

The seeds planted by Yingchuan also began to sprout. For a seed to germinate, it needs soil and nutrients, and the family is the soil.

With the unlimited resource investment from Yingchuan, they have all reached the peak of the first level and can serve as the backbone of the family, a move made secretly without being noticed.

During these two years, Ying Zijian also collected several fifth-level poisonous insects, but those gambling houses did not feel that they had lost out. A world where no one was hurt was achieved.

Yingchuan has been in seclusion for the past two years, but he is still a long way from the late stage of foundation building. His proficiency in controlling puppets is already very high, and they are as flexible as his own body.

As for the physical attack techniques, most of them have been mastered in these three years. The Purple Cloud Sky-Stepping Step has also achieved some success. However, due to the limitation of his cultivation level, the ability to control objects through the air is still some distance away from complete success.

Ning Lian has also reached the initial stage of foundation building. His physical strength needs continuous fighting to improve faster, but he has also reached the late stage of foundation building. Now he only relies on physical attacks and has few rivals among the foundation building.

The progress of spiritual awareness has also become noticeably slow. A distance of more than two thousand meters is already stronger than that of an ordinary Jindan in the early stage. The Eyes of Truth also stops at the second level, and there is no subsequent practice.

Those two points are added to mana and defense respectively.

Power: 21

Speed: 1

Defense: 2

Mana: 18

Life Essence: 12

As for his own forces, he still needs to develop them on his own. He has about 150 people, divided into 12 groups. Most of them are in the school, and the other part has been put into use.

After the enlightenment ceremony, Ying Zijian noticed an interesting person.

He had heard of a pair of brothers whose parents died early and who were sent to live with their aunt when they were young.

However, his aunt's family was a good family and did not treat him harshly. Although the brothers' lives were not rich, they had enough food and clothing.

But this was not what he cared about. There were many brothers who had experienced worse things than them, but the older brother was born precocious. Ying Zijian felt that it was normal, just ordinary precocity, with a B-level aptitude.

As for the younger brother, he is just a loser with average talent, but his older brother treats him very well.

Yingchuan has made up his mind. He will use his younger brother as a springboard to poach players from other families. As for his older brother, you don't want your younger brother to be a loser all his life.

Of course, this matter needs to be remembered for a long time, but their lack of background just provided conditions for Yingchuan to win them over.
