The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 128 Golden Elixir
"The Cangwu Realm has changed very quickly over the years. Almost everything recorded in the original classics is no longer useful. Especially after the new policy was implemented under the strong promotion of Sect Master Li, the entire Jiuding Sect has been operating at a very high efficiency."

Yuhuang Villa.

Zong Yan introduced Yaoguang, Kong Fang, Ye Longxing, Lu Tianhe and other senior executives.

He even brought a device similar to an electronic instrument. When the device was turned on, a map was projected out.

"Currently, the entire Jiuding Sect is divided into thirty-six regions, with a total of one thousand and twenty-four cities. According to the census six years ago, the total population was approximately 8.801 billion and 390 million... However, many forces and clans have the habit of hiding their population. The actual population of the thirty-six regions should be more than ten billion."

Zong Yan pointed to a point on the map and said, "The Thirty-Six Regions account for 56% of the original area of ​​Qi Zong. There are still twelve regions of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the East China Sea Islands that have not recovered. The population... has declined greatly after the war with the Moon Demon Empire... Our star gate is connected to the Jiuxiao Region and Longxiong City."

"and many more."

Yaoguang looked at the device that looked like a virtual projector and asked, "Are there many such things in the Cangwu Realm?"

Zong Yan was startled, and soon realized what Yao Guang wanted to ask. He smiled bitterly and said, "I said that the Cangwu Realm has changed very quickly over the years."

As he spoke, he thought about his words for a while before he said, "I don't know about other sects, but the Jiuding Sect... practice and technology have been completely integrated into people's lives. Take the ordinary people in Longxiong City as an example. The primary school focuses on basic knowledge. Starting from the advanced college, in addition to the basic physics, chemistry, mathematics and foreign languages, you also have to practice body cultivation, qi cultivation, and spirit cultivation. When you enter a higher education institution, in addition to the basic subjects, you have to choose one of the three according to your own strengths..."

"Arts and science?"

Yaoguang asked.

"Yes, that's understandable."

Zong Yan nodded: "Next, if you can reach the third level in body, qi and spirit, you can enter the Imperial Academy and study for four years. Before your body stops growing completely at the age of twenty-two, you can break through to the fourth level... Then you can enter the various branches of Jiuding Sect and become a registered disciple. If you can't break through, you can choose to refine qi into spirit, cultivate your mind at the cost of sacrificing your essence, and work in the energy department. If you can't even refine qi into spirit... His life will be no different from that of an ordinary person."

"Twenty-two years old, fourth level? Martial Saint?"

Yaoguang asked.

Zong Yan smiled bitterly and nodded.

Yaoguang was in a normal mood and didn't feel surprised at all.

In a small place, having a college student is a matter of honor for the family, but in a big city...

Who hasn’t graduated from college yet?

"Then what percentage of college students does the Jiuding Sect have... Oh, that's not right. How many registered disciples does the Jiuding Sect have?"

Yaoguang asked.

"I can't tell you the exact amount, but there is a number circulating in their 'Virtual God Realm', which is around 60 million."

Zong Yan said, and added: "You can think of the virtual world as a more developed and advanced network world. The network in our Yangqi world is actually a copy of the virtual world, just like nuclear weapons simulate the Great Sun True Fire."

"Sixty million."

this number……

A little less than Yaoguang expected.

"What is the overall strength of the Jiuding Sect now?"

Yaoguang Road.

"This……"

Zong Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "The Holy Lord should know about the term 'information cocoon'?"

Yaoguang nodded.

"I am in Jiuding Sect, so naturally I see news about Jiuding Sect's growing strength. I have no access to the overall strength of Jiuding Sect... According to Jiuding Sect's own propaganda, they are the top sect in the first echelon, but so far Jiuding Sect has not been able to recover the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the East China Sea Islands... Maybe, they have only recovered to the level of the second echelon sect."

Zong Yan paused as he spoke: "But most members of the Jiuding Sect still believe that they are not only a top sect, but also in the category of the top ten immortal sects."

"Why."

"The Jiuding Sect has a golden elixir!"

Zong Yan said, and added: "Yaoyang Golden Pill!"

At the end, he emphasized his tone: "In the Cangwu Realm, there are only six major immortal sects that have been confirmed to have Yaoyang Golden Pill!"

"Yaoyang Golden Pill?"

This was the first time Yaoguang heard this term.

But Zong Yan seemed to be in high spirits: "In the Qi Refining Path, after the foundation building, it is the Golden Core Stage, but the Golden Core... is said to be divided into three types, namely the Scarlet Golden Core, the Shining Sun Golden Core, and the Blazing White Golden Core!"

"Red, radiant sun, blazing white."

"These are the three forms of stars."

Zong Yan said with admiration and yearning: "It is said that only those who have cultivated the Blazing White Golden Pill are qualified to collapse into a black hole... and that kind of power is truly capable of distorting space and striking across the three thousand worlds of the starry sea..."

"and many more."

Yaoguang seemed to have grasped something key: "According to what you said, having the Shining Sun Golden Core is considered to be at the level of the six great immortal sects. But during the war with the Moon Demon Empire, weren't there many people who collapsed their golden cores into black holes and counterattacked the Moon Demon Empire? In theory, these people are the real strongest, what about them?"

"This……"

Zong Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, the virtual world... that is, the Internet as we understand it, there is no such information circulating at all."

Yaoguang listened and pondered for a moment.

After a while, he asked, "In other words, the most powerful people in the six major immortal sects are only left with golden elixirs? And the number is extremely small?"

"That's exactly what I got."

Zong Yan nodded.

"so……"

Yaoguang looked at him and paused for a moment before continuing, "Did the Cangwu Realm really defeat the Moon Demon Empire?"

“All major sects promote it this way.” Zong Yan said.

After hearing this, Yaoguang did not ask any more questions.

Zong Yan is just a Martial Saint... Hunyuan Martial Saint, and he may not have access to too core information.

Even if you come into contact with it, it may not be true.

There are too many individuals and forces in this world who achieve certain goals by spreading false information.

Judging from what he has learned so far, rather than the Cangwu Realm defeating the Moon Demon Empire, he is more inclined to believe that both sides will suffer losses in the fight.

"There is a great cultivator named Zong Lian in Longxiong City. He was one of my disciples who went to Qi Sect ninety years ago when I left Fire Country. After going through turbulence, he successfully established his foundation sixty years ago."

Zong Yan said in a deep voice: "After we use the star gate to teleport to Longxiong City, those who can pass the Jiuding Sect's assessment will enter the Jiuding Sect as registered disciples, and the rest will continue to practice with him."

"Zong Lian?"

Yaoguang looked at him: "What's your relationship with him?"

"My grandfather is the ninth child in the family, and he is twelve."

Zong Yan said.

Yaoguang glanced at him.

Now I understand why after not seeing him for a year, not only did Zong Yan's body regain vitality, he even realized the true meaning of non-leakage and became a Hunyuan Martial Saint.

Sure enough, every one of the many royal families in this world has various relationships.

No one knows why one company suddenly becomes rich.

"I told him a little about your deeds, and his suggestion is to let you join the Jiuding Sect, so that you can enjoy the shade under the big tree. Of course, if you are not willing to be inferior to others and have absolute confidence in yourself, and think that you can become a great cultivator without relying on the power of the Jiuding Sect, he suggested that you wait and integrate into the Jiuding Sect as a leader of a certain force after your breakthrough, so as to obtain sufficient autonomy."

Zong Yan said.

During this period of time, Yaoguang has already understood the internal policies and guidelines of the Jiuding Sect.

The Sect Master Li obviously understood the shortcomings of the Jiuding Sect. His current approach was to first raise the banner under the name of "Ten Great Immortal Sects", and then deal with possible internal conflicts one by one after he had sufficient strength and influence.

In this situation, as long as the other party is willing to abide by the bottom line they have drawn, they will be extremely tolerant of any foreign forces joining in.

"As for the specific situation, I will make a decision after I go to Longxiong City and have a sufficient understanding of Jiuding Sect."

Yaoguang Road.

Zong Yan nodded.

The two sides exchanged a few words for a while, and then he left.

He also has a mission this time.

We need to find a group of elite members of the royal family of the Lihuo Kingdom and take them to Longxiong City in Cangwu Realm.

However, what was somewhat surprising was that he didn't seem to have any intention of letting the Lihuo Sect break away from the Xiayu Kingdom.

In the next half month, Yaoguang spent a lot of energy to sort out the situation in the Jiuding Sect of the Cangwu Realm.

Then, he summoned Leng Jun, Su Chixin, Su Hua, Su Yun, Pang Long, and Su Yaoxue.

"With all the resources you have invested in these days, you all have the hope of becoming a Martial Saint in the next three to five years. However, I have a way to help you achieve this step faster."

Yaoguang opened a box in front of the people, which contained several bottles of pills.

"I think you have guessed why Kong Fang was able to quickly become a Hunyuan Martial Saint. It was because he took this elixir. If you take this elixir, not only will you be able to quickly break through to the Martial Saint level, but the time it takes to concentrate your divine will and comprehend your true body will also be greatly shortened. However, this elixir has a huge side effect and can easily breed inner demons. You can consider whether to take it or not."

After everyone looked at each other, Su Chixin stepped forward and took a bottle without hesitation.

"I am an old man with half of my body buried in the ground. I have seen the family develop rapidly but I am unable to contribute due to my limited ability. I feel deeply sorry every day. Now I have this opportunity to contribute to the Su family in the last minute. I feel obliged to do so."

Seeing Su Chixin holding a bottle of soul-nourishing pills, Leng Jun, Su Hua, Su Yun, Pang Long, and Su Yaoxue chose to take the pills without any hesitation.

This scene surprised Yaoguang a little.

He couldn't help but glance at Su Yaoxue: "Are you planning to take it too?"

“The future is too far away, so we must seize the day.”

Su Yaoxue said calmly.

Yaoguang saw it and nodded.

The reason why he also called Su Yaoxue was because he felt that since things like inner demons existed, people would naturally have ways to check and balance them.

He has not come into contact with it yet, simply because his cultivation is not enough.

Once her cultivation level improves, there will be ways to help her conquer her inner demons.

As for why only these few people were trained...

The number of soul-nourishing pills is limited.

He is not the kind of person who would deliberately start a war just to get the soul-nourishing pill.

……

After distributing the pills to everyone in the Su family one by one, Yaoguang then prepared to withdraw from Xia Yu Kingdom.

Time flies.

The day of the star gate opening is approaching again.
