This is how immortals are cultivated

A cold voice sounded in the hall:

"The owner of the sword energy in your body is surnamed Fang, and his name is Fang Suichu?"

Hearing this voice, Jin Bailu paused.

The voice came from the saint, and the question was obviously directed at herself.

Although she didn't know why the Saint brought up the past, Jin Bailu still nodded politely and said, "Yes."

"A long time ago, you hired this person and worked with him for a period of time?"

"Yes..."

"Very good. Don't be nervous. Tell me in detail about your previous experience with this colleague, as well as your understanding and opinion of him."

The voice became softer, but it carried a hidden power that spread silently into Jin Bailu's heart.

It pried open her thoughts, causing her memories to surge up, and even some details of memories that she had forgotten reappeared in her mind.

Jin Bailu's face showed a look of daze and confusion, but he organized his words and began to tell the story in detail according to the voice's requirements.

Jin Roufeng was watching from the side. She was quite nervous at first, but she felt relieved when she saw that her young lady was really just asking questions.

However, she immediately became confused again and began to wonder why the young lady suddenly wanted to ask her sister about a spiritual secret.

Because of the events in Jingzhou and Ji Xing's death, as one of the Three White Lotus Saints, the young lady should be very busy dealing with them.

Thinking of this, Jin Roufeng paused again, as if he had thought of something, and showed a look of surprise and astonishment.

Jingzhou...the one with the surname Fang.

Speaking of which, when we investigated this person before, it turned out that his hometown was in Jingzhou.

Could it be such a coincidence...

Jin Roufeng felt an absurd mood.

The culprit behind the fall of Jingzhou Ji Xing was at least a powerful being in the realm of Zhen'e Zhenren.

However, when I parted with that guy surnamed Fang, he was still just Lingmi.

It can even be said that a few months ago, the other party was just a human resource.

Bai Zhener asked very carefully. If there was something that caught her attention, she would even interrupt Jin Bailu's narration and ask in detail.

After a long time, Jin Bailu closed his mouth, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Only then did Jin Roufeng feel that the magical power that was exerted on him and prevented him from speaking had disappeared.

"Your sister is just a little mentally exhausted. She will be fine after a good night's sleep. There won't be any sequelae."

A breeze blew in the hall, dragging Jin Bailu out of the hall.

"The people down there will take good care of her...Xiaofeng, is there anything you want to ask?"

Watching her sister being led out of the hall, Jin Roufeng turned around and walked behind the curtain.

Bai Zhen'er, wearing a white long dress, was sitting upright on the altar.

Jin Roufeng carefully came to the edge of the altar, took off his shoes and socks, sat down beside Bai Zhener's feet, and gently massaged her calves.

"Miss, the events of Jingzhou caused the fall of the powerful Ji Xing..."

"Yes, it's the 'Mr. Fang' your sister mentioned."

After receiving the personal admission from his young lady, Jin Roufeng felt a little numb and even stopped moving his hands.

"Is it really a disaster?" Jin Roufeng asked with some difficulty.

"Yes, it's true." Bai Zhener nodded.

"I have to admit that I was indeed misjudged at that time."

Bai Zhener had previously had contact with Fang Suichu through distance.

The medium is precisely the sword energy within Jin Bailu's body.

Although the aura of the knife did arouse some of her interest at that time, that was all.

After all, a spiritual secret that does not belong to one's own goddess is not worth paying attention to at all.

But now it's different.

The other party has already entered the realm of true suffering, and according to Jin Roufeng's previous investigation, the other party has cultivated from an ordinary mortal to a realm of true suffering in just four years.

Although there are always examples of people who can achieve success overnight in the world of strange cultivation, there have been cases where people have been able to transform from mortals to saints in one step under the guidance of a trace of the original calamity thought of the Nine Heavens God, but such cases are extremely rare. To become a true person in four years is an extremely incredible thing in this era.

"Could it be that he defected to the State of Wu. He borrowed the resources of the State of Wu, combined with his own inheritance, achieved Zhen'e, and was then sent to Jingzhou by the State of Wu." Jin Roufeng said subconsciously.

In her subconscious, the true-evil-level combat power is either the tribute from the Wu State or the real people on her side.

“That’s not the case…”

"From the current information, it seems that the other party has broken through the true evil within Jingzhou."

"At that time, the laws of Jingzhou had been broken by my men, and it was sealed off from both inside and outside. It had nothing to do with the Wu Kingdom."

"Furthermore, one of the Wu Kingdom's priests, the Taoist master of the Qingming Sect, the True Man Qingming, also died at the hands of the enemy. And the headmaster of the Yuanjing Academy was also suppressed by the enemy."

"Although it's somewhat unbelievable, they've attacked the Wu Kingdom and our sect one after another, and now they're acting as if they want to monopolize Jingzhou."

Speaking of this, Bai Zhener couldn't help laughing.

This smile was not simply out of anger, but out of a sense of wonder.

It is not so easy to occupy a state. Even if it is temporarily occupied, a big part of the reason why the other party was able to succeed is that the Holy Church has tied up the main force of the Wu court.

In other words, the other party took the approach of taking advantage of the conflict between the clams and the fisherman.

But this is not a case of a fisherman at all, but a bold person pulling out teeth from the tiger's mouth.

But it is not something that ordinary people can do to dare to offend the imperial court and the Holy Church at the same time.

As a result, even Bai Zhener developed a strong curiosity about this Taoist Master Fang Xian.

Bai Zhen'er was laughing, but Jin Roufeng couldn't laugh. She even shivered.

After all, the bold words she had spoken to her sister not long ago were still ringing in her ears.

Moreover, if I heard correctly... the other party not only killed Ji Xing, but also killed another Zhen'e who was worshipped by the Wu State, and even suppressed another Zhen'e?

Bai Zhener glanced at Jin Roufeng and said again:

"However, this daring individual is quite powerful. He killed three True Evils... In addition to Ji Xing and that True Man Qing Ming, the Great Demon God Lan Can, the Lord of the Jingzhou Water Vein, also died at his hands."

"The Yin Cang Blood Demon was also suppressed by the other party together with Yuan Jingshan."

Facing five real evils and either beating or killing them sounds exaggerated.

In fact, there is some water in it. Among these five true disasters, more than half are in a semi-disabled state.

Yin Cang Blood Demon, Lan Can, and Yuan Jingshanchang were wearing each other down, and their condition was already not good.

As for the two True Evils who are not half-crippled, whether it is Ji Xing or True Man Qingming, they have not gone far in the True Evil realm and can only be regarded as having just entered the realm.

The real reason why Bai Zhener commented that the other party was quite powerful was that he defeated Su Changsheng's formless body.

"Although Su Changsheng is a loser, the 'Vacuum Tribulation Sutra' he cultivated is one of the highest true methods of our sect, and his formless body possesses the strength of half a True Lord. Anyone who can kill his formless body and even take away the Chaos Seed is worthy of being called a 'True Lord'."

Jin Roufeng didn't know what to say at this moment, and her heart was in turmoil.

The man that her sister was obviously interested in suddenly became the "powerful man" who was now unattainable to her. The gap between them was really hard to accept for a while.

"What is the lady's plan..." Jin Roufeng asked.

"I originally intended to suppress him, but he dared to destroy my plan for Jingzhou..."

Bai Zhener narrowed her eyes, revealing murderous intent, and the lights in the hall were swaying.

Many Lingmi died in Jingzhou, and they were all her direct subordinates.

Moreover, because of the defeat in Jingzhou, she lost face in front of Su Changsheng and fell into a passive position.

Given his vengeful nature, he would not be able to relieve his hatred unless he suppressed it.

but now...

"This guy is quite interesting, and his strength is quite good. Even Su Changsheng is furious about him... In short, he is still worth conquering."

Yes, she had some admiration for talent.

Of course, the most important thing is that the other party has restored his face. Accepting him as a disciple can also stimulate Su Changsheng and vent his anger.

And, judging from Jin Bailu's description, the other person was quite interesting. Taking him in as a dog should bring him great pleasure.

"I called you and your sister here because I want you two to go to Jingzhou."

Bai Zhener spoke to Jin Roufeng.

"Tell this Taoist Master Fang Xian that if he becomes my disciple, I will protect him. Even if Su Changsheng tries to cause trouble for him, I will protect him."

Listening to his young lady's words, Jin Roufeng hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"I'm just afraid this person won't obey so easily."

After all, this ruthless man had killed and suppressed five true evils, and his arrogance was at its peak.

"That's easy. The other party will behave himself after suffering a loss." Bai Zhen'er smiled when she heard Jin Roufeng say this.

"The other party also killed Wu's Zhen'e. The Wu court lost in Taizhou and will definitely get back at it in Jingzhou."

When several True Immortals from Wu arrive in Jingzhou, then this Taoist Master Fang Xian will understand one thing—

If you want to get involved in the underworld, fighting is useless. In the end, it all comes down to power and background.

Chapter 207: Wu State: Court Meeting

The capital of the Wu State, Sugu City.

As the capital of a country, looking down from the sky, it is a very large and extremely neat black building complex.

A provincial capital can accommodate nearly one million people, and as a capital, the population is even more numerous.

The city is divided into several areas according to status and wealth, and is filled with a rigid "order".

The Wu State regarded the [Xuegong] as the state religion, and the [Xuegong] was based on order and law.

Ordinary people living in the capital don't have to worry about being harmed by strange creatures, but if they want to survive here, they must abide by the countless rules here. They live like machines doing the same operation over and over again.

The center of Sugu City is a separately demarcated city within a city, which is the imperial capital of the Wu Kingdom.

A rare grand court meeting was taking place in the Mingtang Palace in the center of the imperial city.

In the Mingtang, officials dressed in official uniforms of various colors stood on both sides according to the civil and military orders, holding jade tablets in their hands, bowing slightly at the same angle without any movement. Rather than living people, they looked more like sculptures standing in the huge palace.

At the front was a third-rank official in purple court robes, also bent over with his head lowered. In front of him were steps, and on the platform above the steps, three thousand bronze crane-beak lamps ignited with pale blue flames, reflecting the throne on the high platform in front.

As dark golden light was rising and falling on the throne, a blurry figure wearing a twelve-tasseled crown could be vaguely seen.

Before the throne, there were many different colored lights entangled together.

These light gases are not physical objects, but rather lines of Dharma thoughts.

If officials are just workers, then the people here are the real managers of this huge country.

The State of Wu and the Supreme Dao Sect jointly ruled the world. If the national court was regarded as a company that managed a sheep pen, the academy would be the chairman, the emperor would be the president, and the many true evils would be shareholders with a certain weight.

The Four True Evils would not be present at ordinary court meetings. Only when something big happened would a grand court meeting be held to summon many True Evils.

Grand court meetings are rarely held, and the last one was thirty-eight years ago to enthrone a newly promoted Zhen'e Zhenren.

The last time it was held was three years ago, when the White Lotus Cult started an uprising in Taizhou, in order to discuss strategies to suppress it.

The topic of this court meeting was also related to the White Lotus Cult in Taizhou, but it was to discuss the final matters, and then... the topic about Jingzhou.

In fact, there is no need to discuss the Taizhou incident anymore.

The White Lotus Demon Cult's occupation of Taizhou was decided by a higher-level official, a high-ranking official of the academy, after a battle between a Saint and the White Lotus Demon Cult's Saint Lord, who was also a Saint.

The so-called ending is nothing more than blocking several states around Taizhou to prevent harassment from the White Lotus demons, and increasing efforts to eliminate the spies planted by the White Lotus Demon Cult in various states.

Therefore, the main discussion point of this grand court meeting was still in Jingzhou.

"Qingming fell, and his Dao lineage, the Qingming Sect, was sealed."
