Ascension Through Generations

"Everyone, please get up! We are members of the Qing Dynasty who do not tolerate vulgar etiquette. From now on, we can save these red tapes if we can!" Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand to help everyone, and said lightly.

When Chen Danwang heard this, his heart moved, and he stood up again calmly, but still looked solemn and serious.

Other Nascent Soul monks also stood up one after another, and then stepped aside. As for what they were thinking at this time, only they themselves knew.

At this time, the old man with the jade crown said with a smile: "Master, my subordinates and others have prepared a banquet for you. I don't know if you..."

Zhao Sheng glanced at him and instantly recalled the relevant information about this person.

This person's real name is Dai Yiping, his dharma name is from Fudai Mountain, and he is in the ninth level of Nascent Soul. This person was the right-hand man of the previous dean. In addition to assisting the dean in handling Taoist affairs, he also managed all the properties of the Hokkaido Institute.

This person is nominally ranked first among the three deputy directors, but the real leader of the three is Chen Danwang.

The Jinlan Chen family is the uncrowned king of the Jinlan Spiritual Realm. There are many masters in the family, and their strength is unparalleled.

Four of the eight heads of the Hokkaido Temple were named Chen, and Chen Danwang was a chess piece introduced by the Chen family to "remote control" of the Taoist Temple.

As for Taoist Qing Nian, a cultivation genius who came from the lowest level of the secular world...

A torrent of information flowed through Zhao Sheng's mind, and he matched everyone's relevant information with himself one by one in an instant, and then he smiled and said: "Haha, we just want to taste the local delicacies. You are really interested! "

Dai Yiping, the old man with the jade crown, was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately echoed his words and flattered her so much that he almost wrote "I want to take refuge" on his face.

Zhao Sheng had just arrived and was barely familiar with the situation in the Taoist temple. Now that he met Dai Yiping, who was extremely proactive, he naturally would not refuse the "surrender" of a subordinate.

Of course, whether this person sincerely surrenders depends on his future actions. It is too early to say whether he is loyal or not.

At the following reception feast, Zhao Sheng encouraged Dai Yiping with a gentle attitude and took the initiative to express "goodwill".

Seeing this situation, not only Dai Yiping, but also several peak leaders were greatly excited and quickly rushed to show their intention to surrender.

Through this banquet, Zhao Sheng also saw that the Hokkaido Academy was actually divided into three major factions: the Academy Leader, the Local, and the Neutral.

The faction headed by Dai Yiping was born to rely on the old master of the hospital, and they were also the group with the most explicit attitude at the banquet.

The local faction is headed by Chen Danwang, and most of its members are immortal cultivating families that developed from the Jinlan Spiritual Realm.

The neutral faction is actually a group of "grassroots". Although it is headed by Taoist Qing Nian, the faction organization is not strict, but it is a bit of a group to keep warm. Most of the people in this faction are from the bottom of the world of immortality, and they mainly build their connections through the inheritance of masters and apprentices.

After the reception banquet, Dai Yiping's group quickly moved closer to the new dean, and Zhao Sheng also took advantage of the opportunity to accept the group of confidants left by the old dean.

In just a few days, he already had a large number of manpower at his disposal, and the authority of the hospital master was initially established.

However, after taking charge of the Taoist temple, Zhao Sheng always "stand still", which made Chen Danwang and others very distressed. They really didn't know where the first fire of the Taoist temple was set.

The more they couldn't understand this, the more frightened they became, fearing that the master's first sword would strike their heads that day.

Ever since!

All the Nascent Souls suddenly changed their past behavior and became very dedicated. They quickly dealt with all the old affairs that had been accumulated in the past. They took the opportunity to report the affairs that could not be dealt with to the hospital master, so as to test the new hospital master's mind.

For a time, the Changsheng Peak where the courtyard master was located became very lively, and every high-ranking Nascent Soul Peak master came up the mountain to pay homage to the courtyard master from time to time.

Zhao Sheng was annoyed by this, and seeing everyone running around more and more diligently, he simply handed over most Taoist affairs to Dai Yiping, while he entered the secret realm of spiritual veins and concentrated on cultivating, vaguely showing the meaning of "governing by doing nothing".

Everyone in the Taoist Academy quickly "knew" the new Academy Master's intentions, and most people were immediately relieved and then overjoyed. After all, no one wanted to meet a "messing around" new Academy Master.

In the hearts of everyone in the Hokkaido Institute, stability is paramount, and everything within the institute should be handled step by step. After all, business as usual means that the original interests do not need to be redivided.

Of course, the share that should belong to the hospital owner will not be less in the future!

I would like to ask a master who understands the concept of "harmony", who doesn't like it and who dares not to support it!

Like the light? Rule by doing nothing?

Everyone is dead wrong!

The reason why Zhao Sheng is like this is that he doesn't look down on the benefits, and he is "afraid of trouble", so he is too lazy to deal with that bunch of rubbish!

With his eyesight, it is not difficult to see that among the Vice-deputy Peak Masters, only Chen Danwang has a glimmer of hope of being promoted to the Transformation God. The others have exhausted their potential and will remain in the Nascent Soul for the rest of their lives, unless they encounter a great opportunity to change their destiny.

In fact, when "Master" Yan Wuxiu asked him to take over the position of director, he had already understood the master's intention.

It is false to temper him in the name of worldly affairs, but it is true to see whether his Taoist heart is strong or not!

Therefore, before taking over, he decided to "govern by doing nothing", showing an attitude of ignoring secular affairs and focusing on Taoism.

Facts have proved that after the master of the temple devoted himself to practicing in seclusion, the Hokkaido temple was not only not chaotic at all, but also became more orderly.

All in all, it is the same whether Hokkaido Academy has a principal or not.

Zhao Sheng is like a giant Buddha. A group of subordinates usually support him and support him. Sometimes they rush to complete the things they are told, just for fear that he will suddenly change his mind.

…

Hokkaido Temple is located in the center of Hokkaido Island. Since ancient times, it has been known as "thousands of peaks and beautiful bells and bells".

The Taoist temple covers most of Beijun Island, and the core area of ​​​​Three Thousand Miles, which has the most abundant spiritual energy, is home to 999 beautiful peaks.

These nine hundred and ninety-nine spiritual peaks are not naturally formed, but are carried by the Immortal Sect's powerful masters from all over the Jinlan Spiritual Domain, and are used to build a three-thousand-mile spiritual gathering tower. The formation will elevate this spiritual land into a man-made "blessed land".

When Zhao Sheng entered Qianfeng Paradise for the first time, he was shocked to find that the average concentration of spiritual energy here was more than one level higher than that of Jinghai City, and had reached the level of fifth-level spiritual veins.

It was less than 10,000 years since the establishment of the Hokkaido Temple. It was difficult for him to imagine how abundant the spiritual energy in the old Taoist temples that had been established for more than 100,000 years would be, comparable to the level 6 spiritual veins, or even higher...

At that time, he had an inexplicable idea: "Even if a pig stays here for a long time, it can probably form a demon pill."

However, the truth immediately hit him in the face.

After reading the ancient documents and all the jade slips on the Taoist Scripture Collection Peak, Zhao Sheng discovered a terrifying fact, that is, the thunder tribulation in the Taisu Spiritual Realm is a million times more abnormal than that in the lower realm!

Compared with the numerous Foundation-Building monks, the number of Jindan Daoist has actually dropped off a cliff.

If the golden elixir real person in the lower realm can be regarded as one in a thousand, then the spiritual world is "one in a thousand"!

Yes, even among 10,000 foundation-building monks, there may not be a golden elixir true person born.

The terrifying power of the Golden Pill Thunder Tribulation can be seen from this!

To be honest, the success rate of this kind of pill condensation is too low, as low as 10%, which is abnormal!

In order to understand the reason, Zhao Sheng read a large number of ancient books on the Tibetan Scripture Peak, and countless senior masters vaguely expressed eight words in the records: The way of heaven is spiritual, and there is no escape from disaster!

Since "there is a spirit in the way of heaven", then the reason why the thunder disaster is so terrible has been found.

However, he soon discovered something was wrong. Over the past eight thousand years, there have always been some "lucky people" in Hokkaido Academy. They usually looked ordinary, but in the end they were able to successfully overcome the calamity and condense the pill. Compared with those fallen geniuses, We, it is extremely difficult to summarize it with just the word "lucky".

Among these lucky people, some people have since stood out among their peers and grown into a generation of influential figures in the future, such as Taoist Qingnian.

But most of the "lucky ones" disappeared from the crowd after forming the elixir. Most of them died under the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, and a few unfortunately died midway.

After reading previous records, Zhao Sheng suddenly realized that the elimination mechanism of thunder tribulation seemed to have been greatly increased in difficulty in the Taisu Spiritual World.

This kind of abnormal phenomenon makes people think of those real immortals who are aloof and watch for a long time!

Perhaps all this is due to the will of the Immortal Immortal!

After all, the cultivation resources in the Taisu Spiritual World are not unlimited. If the number of high-level monks is not limited, even more resources will not be enough!

After noticing the generosity of the true immortals, Zhao Sheng was frightened and couldn't help but secretly admire their ruthlessness.

After this experience, he vaguely felt that he had discovered some kind of "terrible truth", but what the truth was was still unclear.

…

As spring passes and autumn comes, when frost and snow first fall, Hokkaido Temple welcomes a new batch of Taoist disciples.

The Ten Foundation Building Cities quickly became lively, and the old students came out one after another to watch the excitement. A group of eleven or twelve-year-old new Taoist disciples spent their first day unforgettable in a mixture of apprehension and joy.

Not only Hokkaido Temple, but also more than 200 Taoist temples under the jurisdiction of Jiuwenxian Sect have the same tradition of welcoming new students. The tradition is to teach new Taoist disciples to be obedient and obey the orders of the old students.

Of course, if the new Taoist disciples have a strong background, they will not be "bullied" by the old students. On the contrary, the old students like the N-generation cultivators with a good background.

Some hopeless old students will choose to join these "N-generation cultivators" in exchange for a good future.

The "N generation cultivators" also welcome old students to join them, so that they can have a group of subordinates in the Taoist temple to drive.

This situation has been going on for a long time, and the Taoist Academy generally will not ask about it.

Of course, any Taoist temple has two taboos that cannot be violated: First, no dead people can appear in the Taoist temple. Once a Taoist disciple dies, it will be fine if the murderer cannot be found. If the real murderer, the murderer and the instructions can be found, All the murderers were put to death.

Second, knowledge is priceless, don’t ask for opportunities! No one can force others to hand over their opportunities and knowledge. Violators will also be put to death!

In addition, there are dozens of precepts such as respecting teachers and respecting Taoism, not betraying the Taoist Academy, not leaking Taoist Academy secrets, etc.

Whenever a new Taoist disciple enters the hospital on the first day, all the newcomers will be led by the old students to the Tao Heart Monument and all swear an oath.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Sheng secretly watched the admission ceremony of this new Taoist disciples. After watching it, he couldn't help but sigh that there are so many geniuses in the spiritual world, just like the countless crucian carp crossing the river.

Taking this group of new Taoist disciples as an example, the total number alone exceeds 900. The ones with the lowest qualifications are those with three spiritual roots. There are a lot of dual spiritual roots and mutated spiritual roots. Even the heavenly spiritual roots have as many as five.

You must know that Hokkaido Temple recruits Taoist disciples every year. The number sometimes exceeds a thousand and sometimes exceeds 600.

In a hundred years, you can imagine how many Taoist disciples the Taoist temple can recruit.

Back then, he discovered in Jinghai City that the probability of a newborn in the city possessing spiritual roots was frighteningly high, almost 23% out of 100.

In the Da Chun world, the probability of birthing spiritual roots plummeted by a hundred times, and superior qualifications were even rarer. The Chen family, such a cunning leopard, can't find the second Tianling root, which shows how huge the impact of different environments is!

From this, it is not difficult to see why the thunder tribulation in the Taisu spiritual world is so "abnormal"!

…

In the largest seating area of ​​the city, there are densely packed futon and jade tables all over the place, neatly arranged in hundreds of rows and ten columns.

As time went by, more than 900 new Taoist disciples entered the dojo one after another, and the dojo soon became bustling with life and extremely lively.

After experiencing the unforgettable welcome ceremony, most new Taoist disciples are full of resentment and complain or cry loudly to their companions.

Compared with these grassroots, the new students from wealthy families quickly formed gangs to form their own powerful teams in the future.

At the same time, the traditional Taoist associations in the Taoist temple are also secretly selecting this batch of potential Taoist disciples and recruiting people into the club at their own convenience.

Since ancient times, wherever there are interests, there have been rivers and lakes, and the "pure land" of the Taoist Academy is not immune to interest disputes.

It can be said that behind every "reputable" traditional association, there is secret support from one or more immortal cultivating forces.

Regarding this behavior of poaching the sect's corners, the powerful men of the Nine Questions Immortal Sect turned a blind eye. As long as they did not cross the bottom line, it was regarded as acquiescence.

With so many monks leaving the Taoist Monastery every year, some way out must be found for them.

Rather than letting things go their own way, or willingly degenerating to join the evil heretics, it would be better to take advantage of the vassal forces who are devoted to the sect.

In the southwest corner of the dojo, a slender young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was whispering to his companions: "I'll tell you a secret. There are ten major associations in the dojo, but only the Endeavor Society and the Izumo Gate recruit grassroots like us. . Just because we are from ordinary families and have low status, no other associations will recruit us. Go to the mountain, you will follow me, Hu Sheng, from now on, and I will ensure that you can stay safely in the Taoist temple."

His companion was thin, with yellowish skin and an ordinary appearance, looking a little stupid.

"Brother Sheng, without you, I wouldn't be able to enter the Taoist Temple. Whatever you say in the future, I will listen. You can't harm me anyway!"

Hu Sheng smiled proudly when he heard this, reached out and patted Niu Qishan on the shoulder, and boasted: "I, Hu Sheng, have always been loyal. As long as I am here in the future, you will never suffer. When we two brothers become Jindan Zhenren, Benfeng The city must change its owner. Then I will be the city lord, you will be the deputy city lord, and then I will marry a few beautiful ladies, and my life will be so happy."

When talking about what he is proud of, Hu Sheng can't help but beam with joy. He is full of business spirit at such a young age.
