Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 275 Improvement
Cao Wei walked into the study room of the side hall, picked up the pottery pot that was still half filled with lotus hearts, and looked at it. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the head of the house who was walking towards the desk from time to time.

"Pretentious, take it if you like it." Master Mingyou sat down calmly, and then picked up a jade pen to review various memorials.

"Uncle, don't you want to rest for a while? The affairs of the sect are so complicated that you can't finish it." Cao Wei skillfully sent the clay pot out of his sleeve, then stood up, walked behind the head of the sect, and rubbed his back and rubbed his shoulders .

Master Mingyou exhaled softly, and then said with a smile:

"Hands are heavier, and I still have some conscience. Although there are many affairs in this sect, they will have to be dealt with here sooner or later. You young people are no longer able to do it. Look at the old man who is working so hard now, maintaining a daily routine. Two hours of working time, sometimes even reaching the end of the hour. Your palace masters always like to have a backlog of affairs for half a month, and then deal with them together within a day or two, and just complain like this, This makes those hard-working Qi refining period Zhixiu how to deal with it?"

"That's why I blindfolded them, plugged their ears, and then shouted at them with a loudspeaker how difficult it is for us monks to work hard for their safety day and night. , fighting against the Youyun Demon Lord nearby, and dealing with brutal sects in the Western Regions and Northern Lands in the distance, and worked hard to find a safe place for them, how could they not cherish such a happy and happy life?" Cao Wei laughed. road.

"This is a technique, but it is usable but not credible. The sect is going to slightly change this practice that has been maintained for thousands of years." Ming Youzheng shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Cao Wei asked: "But to prepare for the sect's westward departure?"

"Naturally. Now Youyun Yaojun has let go of the passage on the west side of Daze to attract monks from the Western Regions. At the beginning, it was only monks who refined Qi and established foundations who ventured in, but in recent years, golden core monks from all sides have been found. .With frequent exchanges between the two sides, the Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators under our rule will have a deeper understanding of their actual situation sooner or later."

"At that time, after comparing them, they will find that life is much easier under my sect than in other sects. Isn't this popular?" If we oppress casual cultivators under our rule too much, the Western Regions The Foundation Establishment monks who came from all sides must be afraid of this, and they are unwilling to settle down in southern Xinjiang and surrender to the sect. "Mingyou real person laughed slowly.

"It turns out that the patriarch, the sect leader, and fellow sects thought so! But now we are much better at casual cultivators than the Western Region sects. Do we need to improve?" Cao Wei asked.

"Let's improve it a little bit. Now there is an issue. You have been a casual cultivator for a period of time. Please give some suggestions. Under our special control, most of the casual practitioners who are honest in nature and have little talent in the qi refining period are here. In the spiritual field, based on the management of [-] acres, they work for five hours a day and get three hundred low-grade spiritual stones a month, is that true?" Mingyou asked.

"The overall difference is not big." Cao Wei said with a nod.

"It's related to the overall situation. This is not a general idea. A slight difference can lead to thousands of miles. A small problem is enough to trigger a series of subsequent events." Master Mingyou shook his head.

During the Qi refining period in Southern Xinjiang, there were nearly 400 million casual practitioners, and there were three to four million people under Qingxiazong's rule, and nearly half of them were in charge of spiritual fields.

"Uncle Master's lesson is that disciples haven't paid attention to casual cultivators for many years. I don't know how they are doing compared to before?" Cao Wei said.

"Normal, but I can first do a rough calculation based on the above, determine the general direction, and then send my disciples to investigate on the spot, make a clear overall plan of all the situations, and figure out a more feasible plan. We need to discuss with the Hehuan Sect and the Yunfu Sect. The matter is a bit more complicated, but we can't just sit here and pat our heads and settle down. With the spirit stone in the pocket of this casual cultivator, there is a possibility to go further. " Mingyou said with a smile.

"Aren't Master Uncle afraid that in the end, casual cultivators will overwhelm our sect?" Cao Wei asked.

"What is there to be afraid of? If I have waited for nearly ten thousand years and am finally replaced by a Nascent Soul who was born as a casual cultivator, then it is not that the descendants are unworthy, but it is the destiny!" Master Mingyou turned his head slightly, and then turned his hand to take out the He bought a gourd of yellow wine and drank it himself.

"But we can't let too many foundation-building monks among them. Otherwise, the resources of the entire southern border will not be able to support them. At that time, I will be coerced by its general situation, and I can only wage war abroad. Otherwise, I can only Do it yourself, completely go to the opposite side with casual cultivators." Cao Wei said slowly.

The so-called people's grievances are above all, and those who fail to succeed are not there.

Once there is this sign, that sect will start to go downhill.

This is the case with the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Western Regions. Under the restraint of many forces within the sect, even the Demon Lord of the Six Paths cannot really turn the tide. He can only rely on his own powerful monks to suppress all parties.

The reason why they start wars with Haoran Academy every once in a while is to divert all kinds of conflicts within the sect.

Unless one day he can practice at least to the level of a great monk and has enough strength to deter the outside world, then he can properly clean up and reorganize all the forces in the door and start everything again.

"So how many spirit stones do you think those casual cultivators should earn in a month? It won't be too little, making it difficult to maintain their own practice, and it won't be too much, making them reach the foundation building stage too early?" Ming Youzheng Laughed.

Then he slowly introduced:

"Previously, the Zongmen calculated that casual cultivators worked five hours a day during the Qi refining period, and got three hundred low-grade spirit stones in one month. Then the remaining time in the day was seven hours, and three hours were deducted to do chores. And rest, so there are four hours left. If the casual cultivator with three spiritual roots aptitude spends all this time on practice, the low-grade spirit stones needed in one month will be exactly three hundred. In this way, they If you have no money left, you can only continue to practice step by step, and it will take at least 60 years to cultivate to the foundation stage. As for the monks with four spiritual roots and below, they are not considered, and they can only place their hopes on future generations."

Hearing this, Cao Wei frowned slightly, and asked: "Master, wait a minute, then if they want to build a foundation, don't they want to practice since their mother's womb? Why are there so many casual cultivators?" A foundation-building monk?"

"What do you mean?" Master Mingyou asked in confusion.

"Isn't it difficult for monks to build a foundation after the bone age of sixty?" Cao Wei asked.

"Where did you hear that?"

"If not, why doesn't the sect recruit outer disciples who are under sixty bone age?"

Hearing this, Master Mingyou couldn't help pointing Cao Wei, and said with a smile:
"I still think you are asking something. This kind of question must have been heard when dealing with casual cultivators in the market during the qi refining period, right? Don't say this in the future, so as not to make people laugh. If a qi refining monk If they don’t encounter disasters, they can live up to 20 or [-] years old without disease or disaster, while their bodies don’t start to decline until they are around [-] or [-]. Before that, it is possible to build a foundation, but the success rate depends on the It only affects future practice."

"I see. Since the establishment of the foundation, the disciples have paid little attention to these things. These old concepts are deeply rooted." Cao Wei laughed at himself, hiding the embarrassment on his face.

"You are a person who knows how to make money and is restless in your duties. You entered the sect through the introduction of the Niu family and left the circle of loose cultivators early. This step is the right one. Otherwise, no matter how good your alchemy talent is, you can only be lost in the crowd. In." Mingyou said slowly.

"At that time, the disciple sold himself, so the grandfather-in-law agreed to marry his granddaughter to me. If it wasn't for the early establishment of the foundation, I'm afraid that others would laugh at gossip and lose face." Cao Wei laughed.

"Don't get cheap and act like a good boy. I remember you husband and wife are ten years apart, right?" Master Mingyou snorted softly.

It's just that as an elder, some things cannot be said clearly.

In this world, those who are capable are shameless, those who are not capable are shameless, those who are shameless end up losing face, and those who are shameless live with dignity.

"The difference is 15 years, and my father-in-law is two or three years older than me. I call him brother, and he calls me son-in-law. It can be said that we have a very happy conversation!" Cao Wei said, nodding his head.

"In recent years, your wife has taken good care of Tailing Mountain. With this virtuous wife, you have taken advantage of it. However, she met you, and she was lucky enough to be able to build a foundation at the age of 40 or 60 with the talent of the four spirit roots. Yes. If those San Linggen qi refining casual practitioners start practicing at the age of ten, they will reach the age of seven or eighty in 80 years. By then, even after the foundation is established, these people will basically have nothing to do with the golden core. Besides, they have no money left , Naturally, you can't buy a foundation-building pill with 20 million low-grade spirit stones, there is no possibility of trial and error, and you will be successful if you don't succeed, so there are not many foundation-builders in casual cultivation."

Having said that, Master Mingyou took a sip of spirit wine worth tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones to moisten his throat, and after a short pause, he continued:

"This part of the foundation-building casual cultivators who have no possibility to advance to the Golden Core will definitely not accept their fate. They will naturally look for more spiritual things to practice for themselves or for the sake of their descendants. Right now, the secular spiritual energy is almost isolated, and it is not a place for practice. In addition, the three law-enforcing monks like me have been constantly patrolling all sides to kill evil cultivators for many years. With all kinds of hard and soft methods, what they can do is either to go to the dark cloud or go to the sea. Therefore, although every year There are newcomers embarking on cultivation and some old people die, but overall, the number of people refining Qi and building foundations in the southern border has remained at a relatively stable level."

"Then the head wants to let these casual cultivators with three spiritual roots qualifications be around how old in general before they have the possibility to build a foundation?" Cao Wei asked.

"Maybe about five or six years in advance. Depending on the situation, the price of Lingmi and Zhujidan will be used as a control. If there are too many people, the price will be raised accordingly." Mingyou Zhenren said slowly.

"Since the uncle has the bottom line in his heart, why bother to ask the disciple?" Cao Wei's hand was a little stronger, and he rubbed the opponent's shoulder vigorously.

Under the condition that the price of Lingmi, the most critical basic practice material, remains the same, if most of the Qi-refinement loose cultivators want to build their foundations five or six years earlier, they will proportionally change from 330 low-grade spirit stones per month. Increased to about [-] pieces.

Of course, this still needs to be investigated, and a more complete plan can be obtained by deleting and supplementing according to the situation of each industry.

Upon hearing this, Master Mingyou laughed loudly: "Do you see that you are not very good at governance? Come on, first go to the Hall of Law Enforcement for a transition, and then be more mature and stable, and the old man will give you the head .”

"Farewell!" Cao Wei stopped immediately, grabbed the pot of spiritual wine, and strode towards the door.

"Hey, you can leave as soon as you want, why don't you grab the tea and the wine too?" Daoist Mingyou shouted anxiously.

"Good wine and good tea, who doesn't love it?"

Cao Wei's loud laugh came from outside the door.

"I don't know if this kid is learning from Senior Brother Wanhua or Senior Brother Wanxiang? No, with his romantic nature, I'm afraid he's learning from Senior Brother Xiaguang or Yaojun Kuilie!" Master Mingyou shook his head talking to himself. Shaking his head, with a smile on his face.

"Women and women eat and drink, people have great desires. In this regard, disciples don't need to learn. If the uncle wants to, disciples can teach, and even if they are reluctant, they can demonstrate in person." Cao Wei walked down the long stone steps, and the sound transmission responded said a word.

As soon as these words fell, the originally hidden formation restriction in the sky above Qingxia Peak suddenly had a flash of spiritual light, and a thunderbolt suddenly fell down. At the same time, a cyan restriction light rose from the previously messy white jade square screen.

Cao Wei dodged instinctively, but the thunderbolt turned into a silver thunder dragon and chased after him.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third and even fourth brontosaurus flew in.

After a while or so, the aura shield on all sides of the square had shrunk to only a few feet in radius, and it was filled with extremely dazzling lightning, with silver-purple lightning arcs dancing endlessly.

"Do you still want to demonstrate in person?" Mingyou asked through voice transmission.

"If you don't think about it, don't dare, please have a lot of uncles, let's let the little ones go." Cao Wei's voice came from the formation.

"Currently, the maintenance cost of the White Jade Square and the spiritual stones consumed by the formation, you come out, is that okay?" Mingyou asked.

"This is what a disciple should do."

"Alright, there are a total of [-] high-grade spirit stones, should they be deducted from your salary or handed over to the Foreign Affairs Hall?"

"Deduct your salary." Cao Wei said without hesitation.After all, I always feel a little bit reluctant to take out this spirit stone from my body.

As soon as the words fell, Master Mingyou dissipated the restriction of spiritual light on the square, and saw the thunder light rushing towards all directions like water, and finally disappeared without a trace.

The ashen-faced Cao Wei exhaled a deep puff of white smoke, then took out a new cloak from the Qingling ring and put it on his body, and pressed his bristling hair vigorously, finally suppressing it.

Then he turned into a blue light and disappeared in place.

After a while, Cao Wei flew up from a small forest nearby, with neat clothes and a clean face.

I saw him heading in the direction of Qingyou Dahuang.

After about an hour and a half, Cao Wei saw a steep and majestic peak not far away, and the surrounding small peaks could be seen dimly in the clouds and mist, surrounding Tailing Mountain, blooming like green lotus petals.
