Chapter 427 How do you choose? Do you want to join us?
The fact that the Immortal Sword was trapped in Chongxuan Sect was incredible. Xie Qingxue was confused and angry. She wanted to ask clearly, but she did not dare to say in the messaging talisman that this was a major matter that was related to the life and death of the Tianhe Sect.
She simply traveled day and night to return to the Tianhe Sect, wanting to ask Master Yan in person.
"Qingxue?" Seeing her suddenly returning from Jiushan, she was even more full of dust, and her anxious look in her eyes could not be concealed. Chief Yan's face immediately became a little nervous, "But Wushuang..."
"Young brother has nothing to do."
When Xie Qingxue saw her master, she could no longer hide her confusion.
"Zheng Fa saw the Immortal Sword!"
Chief Yan's face was stunned. Although it was a little unexpected, it was not much surprise.
Now, Xie Qingxue immediately understood the truth...
“Master, the immortal sword in our sect…”
"The four swords of Zhuxian are not the ones that of the ancestors."
“…”
Before returning, Xie Qingxue felt that she had made the worst mental preparations.
Who would have thought that a word from Master almost broke her heart.
"For... why is this happening... then the four swords in our sect are..."
Unconsciously, her voice trembled.
Master Yan saw her in a messy look, but his face was calm. He just pointed to the chair in front of him and said warmly, "Sit down and say."
Xie Qingxue sat in the chair absent-mindedly, staring at Master Yan with her eyes tightly, as if she wanted to know the truth.
Master Yan pondered for a while, as if he was organizing the language, and then said, "Only the leader of the sect should have known about this matter, but now..."
Xie Qingxue was even more panicked.
What Master has done these days makes her feel like she is explaining her funeral.
"You should know that there is some difference between our Tianhe Sect and other immortal sects in practicing the method."
"Well...we don't have a fundamental law."
"That's true. The so-called fundamental great method is a real martial art that can become an immortal..."
"Did you think about why our sect can rank among the five Xuanwei sects, and it is still quite strong in this era?"
Xie Qingxue shook her head.
"Because of the four swords of Zhu Xian in the sect."
"Not that the four swords are all..."
Xie Qingxue became more and more confused.
"Why is the realm after my Tianhe Sect transformed into a **** called the fusion stage?"
Xie Qingxue knew this very well. She was a cultivator in the fusion stage: "It integrates with the immortal sword, the sword is there, the sword is there, the sword is gone, and the people are gone, borrow the power of the immortal sword..."
Zheng Fa once said that Xie Qingxue thought it was quite appropriate—
The Tianhe Sect’s martial arts seem to have the meaning of practicing themselves into a sword spirit.
Therefore, Xie Qingxue was "manipulated" by Zheng Fa before.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingxue was stunned.
"There are four swords in the door..."
“They are four ancestors.”
Xie Qingxue was shocked. This means - the four ancestors are not dead?
The five veins of Tianhe Sect are actually inherited by the five disciples of Tianhe Patriarch.
But the ancestor of her lineage, who had already sacrificed his sword with humans, died of death.
Who would have thought that the four ancestors not only did not die, but instead became treasures of the sect?
"But this is not right..." Xie Qingxue thought about it but still couldn't figure it out, "Since the four ancestors have become one with the four swords, how could the immortal sword in the hands of Haorishan?"
"Because after the death of the ancestor Tianhe, the four ancestors handed over the four swords to the four sects..."
This gave Xie Qingxue another heavy blow.
At this moment, she and Zheng Fa developed a deep empathy - can this be sold?
This choice is too outrageous.
Based on common sense, the four swords of Zhuxian are against the four masters, just like the Qingping sword to himself.
It is almost the same as the spiritual treasure of the natal world, and it has the same life root.
How can I give it to four cases?
Xie Qingxue was confused and understood in her heart that there was probably only one explanation for everything:
The reason for the Tianhe Rebellion back then.
“Master, why did the ancestors betray the ancestor Tianhe?”
President Yan looked at Qingping Sword on her waist deeply, and at this time he was blunt:
"Because of the four swords of Zhu Xian."
This is another answer that Xie Qingxue didn't expect.
"The Four Swords of Zhu Xian..."
"At that time, the ancestor of Tianhe unified Xuanwei and wiped out the major sects. His strength was so strong that even the four sects today could only hide in the dark."
"The ancestor is powerful and collects all the spiritual materials and magic weapons in the world."
"Casting the Four Swords of Zhu Xian."
Xie Qingxue was also excited and proud when she heard this. She couldn't help but ask, "How can this... make the ancestors betray their relatives?"
"You should understand now that in the disaster of spiritual energy decline, ancient immortals and gods came to the world."
Xie Qingxue nodded.
"The four swords of Zhuxian were refined by the ancestors to stabilize the Xuanwei Realm and handed over to the four major disciples."
"If these four swords are formed, they will be of the greatest power in ancient and modern times. According to classics, they can overturn the heaven and earth and be given the head of the immortals and gods."
"The mysterious and stable are just around the corner."
Xie Qingxue was even more puzzled.
"Is there any problem with this?"
Master Yan laughed. His smile seemed to be self-deprecating.
"But the four swords of the immortals killed... not only the ancient immortals and gods?"
"It's not just..." Xie Qingxue murmured and repeated these four words, and suddenly had a guess in her heart, and she felt her heart slowly, slowly, tightening.
"Yes, the four swords of Zhuxian are targeted at all those with cultivation... that is, all those who practice immortals."
"Diet innocent people indiscriminately killing."
"Those who bully the weak will die."
"Even, the ancestor has an idea to refine the four swords of Zhuxian according to the method of the Shinto..."
The tone of Chief Yan became colder and colder, and when he said this, he looked a little scared. Xie Qingxue heard him say something that he could not even imagine: "If this is the case, these four swords can kill the immortals and gods with the power of incense and thoughts of sentient beings."
"Whether ancient immortals or cultivators are, who would like to have four more immortal swords on his head that would make him lose his mind? Who would be willing to hand over his life to these countless beings?"
"I see…"
Xie Qingxue lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say.
Can she say that the ancestor was wrong?
It seems that there is no problem. The ancestor did not want to kill all the cultivators, but wanted to set rules for this immortal path, to quell the ancient immortal disaster, and to shape a mysterious world in his heart.
But can she say that the choice of the Four-Meridians ancestor is unreasonable?
What do you want to cultivate immortality?
There is no fault of immortality and freedom.
It is too normal for the ancestors to betray their relatives and relatives.
"So... the four ancestors who merged with the Four Swords conspired with the Four Sects to launch the Tianhe Rebellion."
"After the chaos, the four swords were divided into two, the sword embryo was in the hands of the four sects, and the four ancestors were in the Tianhe Sect."
After hearing this, Xie Qingxue was still confused and asked:
"Why do you have to be so troublesome?"
"The four swords of Zhuxian are extremely powerful, so the four sects naturally refuse to put them in our sect."
"The four ancestors work together, although they can control the four swords, this may lead to the ancestors' revival... Secondly, they are not willing to be bound by the four swords and seek the method of transcendence."
"Therefore, the four sects are required to suppress or even refine the four swords."
"My Tianhe Sect and the four sects have all had secret agreements."
After hearing this, Xie Qingxue also found out the clue:
After the Tianhe Sect rebelled, the four sects and the four ancestors were afraid of each other and each took their needs.
The four ancestors have the strength to launch the four swords of Zhuxian, but this thing may be related to the Taoist fruit of the ancestor Tianhe, and can only be used as a means of desperate efforts.
On the other hand, they were unwilling to be controlled by the four swords of Zhuxian, and the four sects were naturally not relieved to be placed in the Tianhe Sect - they were afraid that they would go crazy.
Therefore, the four swords were taken away and suppressed by the four sects, while the four ancestors stayed in the Tianhe Sect, seeking a way to transcendence.
“How can you transcend…”
Xie Qingxue couldn't help but ask, the same is true for her relationship with Qingping Jian.
But Master, who even told such secrets calmly, kept silent at this moment and turned around the topic:
"Haori Mountain is now either suppressing the Immortal Sword or refining the Immortal Sword..."
“Refining?”
"They have been studying the Immortal Sword for an era, and they are the first sect of refining weapons in the Xuanwei Realm. Maybe they can find some ways..."
"Then why did they put this immortal sword in the Hundred Immortal Alliance?"
Master Yan shook his head gently: "I don't know this."
Knowing that the ancestor of the Four-Meridians was still alive, even in the sect... As the number one traitor in Tianhe Tianzi, Xie Qingxue did not dare to stay for too long, and soon said goodbye to the leader of Yan.
When she left, she suddenly heard Master Yan ask her a question: "If you are five ancestors... how do you choose?"
Xie Qingxue was shocked and turned around to look at her master, but found that Master Yan had closed his eyes and stopped looking at her.
…
When she returned to Jiushan Realm from the Tianhe Sect, Zheng Fa happened to be in the Tian Palace, holding a jade tube in his hand and reading it carefully.
Seeing her return, I only greeted her, as if I didn’t have time to pay more attention to her.
Xie Qingxue was surprised. She could understand that she didn't care about herself, but she brought back the news of the immortal sword!
What is in this jade tube that can make Zheng Fa even let go of this?
Secret Method of Magic?
New secret to refining weapons?
After a while, Zheng Facai looked up unconsciously. Seeing her staring at the jade tube in her hand curiously, she explained with a smile: "This is the "Census Report of the Hundred Immortals Alliance" sent back by Uncle Pang."
Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment.
"This is a rough investigation, mainly targeting the reserves of various practice sects and spiritual materials."
Xie Qingxue also understood.
She also knew about the Jiushan Sect’s census, and even knew how detailed the data Zheng Fa wanted was:
According to Zheng Fa's idea, Uncle Pang and his team would have to figure out the population, occupation, income and other data of mortals.
This is naturally a very time-consuming thing.
But now this preliminary report only involves the major immortal cultivation sects and spiritual materials.
Compared with mortals, the number of immortal cultivators may be considered one in tens of thousands, or even one in a million.
The reserves of major spiritual materials are easy to say - spiritual materials are rare after all.
"Uncle Pang was thinking that we were going to do business with major sects, so he first investigated the data."
Xie Qingxue nodded indifferently at first, suddenly thought of something, bit the corner of her lower lip, and reached out to Zheng Fa, "Can I... see?"
Zheng Fa was a little stunned, handed the jade tube to her readily, and smiled, "This is not a secret."
Xie Qingxue sinks her spiritual consciousness into the jade tube and finds that the investigation report is very distinctive, probably from Zheng Fashu.
There is a big title in the content of the jade tube called "Investigation Report on the Cultivators of the Hundred Immortals Alliance".
It is divided into four major parts:
The first part is the overview of the Hundred Immortal Alliance, which includes the geographical environment, area, large and small forces and surrounding forces of the Hundred Immortal Alliance.
Xie Qingxue also knows this, but the data here is more detailed.
She just watched it for a moment and then passed by.
The second part is the distribution of wealth in the Hundred Immortal Alliance, which she looked very seriously:
"All spiritual fields are controlled by major sects... Among them, ninety percent of the upper-class spiritual fields are in the hands of sects above the Golden Pill."
"More than 80% of the magic weapon elixir market and the spiritual talisman market are monopolized by the Yuanying Sect."
"Will the output of major spiritual ores flow to the Nascent Soul Sect?"
Xie Qingxue chanted softly.
She looked back at the first piece of the Hundred Immortal Alliance, which was written very clearly by Pang Zhenren. After the Demonic Tribulation, there were more than 1,600 large and large sects or families in the land of the Hundred Immortal Alliance.
Among them, there are only five of the Nascent Soul forces, including Jiushan Sect.
The power of the golden elixir is only thirty-one except for repeated calculations.
The highest combat power of other sects or families is nothing more than foundation building.
If these forces have nothing to do with each other, they cannot be ranked in the Hundred Immortal Alliance... they can only rely on one sect in the Hundred Immortal Alliance.
Only divided by the number of forces.
80% of the wealth in the Hundred Immortal Alliance may be in the hands of less than one-fifty sects or families.
The third piece is the monk structure, which makes Xie Qingxue frown even more.
Among the Hundred Immortals Alliance, except for the Chongxuan Sect, including the Jiushan Sect, there are now thirty-two cultivators above the Nascent Soul.
There are 286 Jindan monks in total.
As for the total number of monks, the data Pang Zhenren gave an estimate, which is about 80,000 people.
In other words, if wealth is divided into individuals, there are more than 300 monks above the golden elixir, accounting for less than 200 of the total number of monks.
But the resources they occupy are probably far more than 80% of...
You should know that other small forces are also dependent on them to live.
As for the income and expenses of monks in the fourth section, Xie Qingxue also read it carefully.
As mentioned, every foundation-building monk has 50% of the income, and it must be paid to the sect or stronger monk.
There are more qi-training monks.
She just read it briefly, but it also proved a thought in her heart:
Any cultivator with high cultivation occupies resources that others cannot reach, and the more you have to practice, the more resources you need, and the more harsh it will be for the plunder of the lower-level cultivators.
What made her uneasy was...
This is just a monk.
The monk is already the individual who can control his own destiny in the Xuanwei Realm.
That mortal...
She didn't have to read the investigation report to understand that the mortals suffered a hundred times more plunder than monks.
Every monk either understands this or does not understand this, but he is also used to living above the heads of mortals.
In this extremely opposite situation, let them hand over their lives to mortals...
Who can be willing?
Who dares?
Therefore, when the ancestor refined the four swords of Zhuxian, he would... even his personal disciples betray him.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingxue felt a mess.
The question from my master before appeared in her ears again—
How would you choose?
She doesn't know the answer, or rather, she knows the answer, but she doesn't want to think deeply.
…
Zheng Fa seemed to see the entanglement in her expression and asked curiously: "But the matter of getting involved in the Immortal Sword is very troublesome?"
Xie Qingxue shook her head: "I didn't understand why Immortal Sword was trapped in Chongxuan Sect..."
She repeated what Chief Yan told her and said to Zheng Fa again.
Zheng Fa frowned after hearing this.
"No wonder, the Feiyun Sword I refined can trigger the abnormal movement of the Xianxian Sword..."
Zheng Fa had a guess before, and now he confirmed that the black sword was a fairy sword, so he naturally affirmed his own thoughts—
Perhaps because I used some of the sword-refining techniques of the Tianhe Sect, the immortal sword was somewhat sensitive.
Xie Qingxue reminded again: "My master said that although Haori Mountain seems to be unable to control the Xianxian Sword, the power of the Xianxian Sword must not be underestimated... They put this sword in Chongxuan Sect, and they are afraid that they have some plans."
"Don't take it lightly."
Of course Zheng Fa understood this.
This immortal sword can be said to have changed the situation in the Xuanwei Realm and made Venerable Tianhe fail. It can be seen that its power is.
Not to mention, for an era, Haorishan has no choice but to have this Immortal Sword.
It’s definitely not something you can do randomly.
"In this way, we still have to figure out what Haorishan and the others are going to do..."
On the other hand, Haori Mountain will never throw it around everywhere, such as the peerless treasure of the Immortal Sword.
It always has a purpose if you throw it into Chongxuan Sect.
even…
This thing is hard to refine by those seven gods?
Zheng Fa didn't believe it very much.
Therefore, this Chongxuan Sect may be a little special.
Zheng Fa was calculating various possibilities in his mind, and saw that Xie Qingxue was unconfused and seemed to have something difficult to solve.
"Thank you Fairy?"
Xie Qingxue slowly came back to her senses, looked at the Qingping Sword on her waist, and her eyes avoided it like an electric shock, and then smiled bitterly, "I just realized today... If I were the ancestor of the Four-Meridians, I would..."
Zheng Fa nodded for granted and said, "Of course, ninety-nine out of a hundred monks...all the same."
"Um?"
"Maybe that's right, but... it's too urgent..."
Zheng Fa sighed lightly and said to Xie Qingxue:
"He is surrounded by traditional Xuanwei monks... he has never been a member of the same place."
“You can imagine the choices you can make.”
Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment and keenly captured a new concept that Zheng Fa mentioned: "Traditional... Xuanwei Cultivator?"
"Oh, look, this is a report given to me by Senior Sister Zhang."
Xie Qingxue curiously took the account book from Zheng Fa.
"After the establishment of the textile factory... the types of commodities in the clothing market increased tenfold, the average price decreased by 30%, and the export revenue..."
"Food processing plants...the daily food share of Twelve Prefectures has increased by four times."
"The population of newborns in Jiushanjie tripled last month, and the mortality rate was less than 90% last month."
"The average household property has increased by 50%, and each household has half a year of rations..."
This is the change in the mortal world of the Nine Mountains after the initial development of the Hundred Immortal Alliance trade.
Zheng Fa felt excited when he read it before - the rough combination of the method of cultivating immortals and modern technology may not be that powerful, but it is too effective to change the fate of mortals.
After reading the investigation of the Hundred Immortals Alliance sent by Uncle Pang, the gap became more and more obvious.
The simplest change is what the monks have brought to this world.
"We have to admit that the great power of the monks belongs to themselves, and what they pursue is their own strength, which is an unchangeable fact." Zheng Fa also looked at the report in her hand and whispered, "The idea of the Venerable Tianhe is actually very good... to establish a mysterious world of checks and balances with each other."
"The problem is that maybe he really has the ability to Zhu Xian, but he can't change people's hearts..."
"I don't have the ambitions of the Venerable..."
Zheng Fa laughed at himself. He was a coward like him, but he really had no confidence to stand against all monks.
"So you chose... to change the relationship between monks and mortals?"
"Xie Xianzi, the wealth in this world was distributed in the past because of strength... I wondered whether it could be distributed in the future based on contributions?"
Xie Qingxue looked at Zheng Fa blankly.
Comparing the ancestor, she naturally understood what Zheng Fa meant - the fact that immortal cultivators have powerful power cannot be changed. What Zheng Fa thought was that in this powerful power, he could find a way to benefit sentient beings.
What if monks and mortals no longer have an opposition...
What if mortals become rich because of monks, and monks become stronger because of mortals?
Zheng Fa tilted his head, looked at Xie Qingxue, and smiled:
"Xie Xianzi, this road may not be simpler than the path of Tianhe Patriarch..."
Another question came to Xie Qingxue's ear: "Do you... want to be together?"
…Master, I may have found the answer to your question.
(This chapter ends)
The fact that the Immortal Sword was trapped in Chongxuan Sect was incredible. Xie Qingxue was confused and angry. She wanted to ask clearly, but she did not dare to say in the messaging talisman that this was a major matter that was related to the life and death of the Tianhe Sect.
She simply traveled day and night to return to the Tianhe Sect, wanting to ask Master Yan in person.
"Qingxue?" Seeing her suddenly returning from Jiushan, she was even more full of dust, and her anxious look in her eyes could not be concealed. Chief Yan's face immediately became a little nervous, "But Wushuang..."
"Young brother has nothing to do."
When Xie Qingxue saw her master, she could no longer hide her confusion.
"Zheng Fa saw the Immortal Sword!"
Chief Yan's face was stunned. Although it was a little unexpected, it was not much surprise.
Now, Xie Qingxue immediately understood the truth...
“Master, the immortal sword in our sect…”
"The four swords of Zhuxian are not the ones that of the ancestors."

"For... why is this happening... then the four swords in our sect are..."

Xie Qingxue shook her head.
"Because of the four swords of Zhu Xian in the sect."
"Not that the four swords are all..."
Xie Qingxue became more and more confused.
"Why is the realm after my Tianhe Sect transformed into a **** called the fusion stage?"
Xie Qingxue knew this very well. She was a cultivator in the fusion stage: "It integrates with the immortal sword, the sword is there, the sword is there, the sword is gone, and the people are gone, borrow the power of the immortal sword..."

"Diet innocent people indiscriminately killing."

The tone of Chief Yan became colder and colder, and when he said this, he looked a little scared. Xie Qingxue heard him say something that he could not even imagine: "If this is the case, these four swords can kill the immortals and gods with the power of incense and thoughts of sentient beings."

“How can you transcend…”
Xie Qingxue couldn't help but ask, the same is true for her relationship with Qingping Jian.
But Master, who even told such secrets calmly, kept silent at this moment and turned around the topic:
"Haori Mountain is now either suppressing the Immortal Sword or refining the Immortal Sword..."
“Refining?”
"They have been studying the Immortal Sword for an era, and they are the first sect of refining weapons in the Xuanwei Realm. Maybe they can find some ways..."
"Then why did they put this immortal sword in the Hundred Immortal Alliance?"

Xie Qingxue was shocked and turned around to look at her master, but found that Master Yan had closed his eyes and stopped looking at her.
…
When she returned to Jiushan Realm from the Tianhe Sect, Zheng Fa happened to be in the Tian Palace, holding a jade tube in his hand and reading it carefully.
Seeing her return, I only greeted her, as if I didn’t have time to pay more attention to her.
Xie Qingxue was surprised. She could understand that she didn't care about herself, but she brought back the news of the immortal sword!
What is in this jade tube that can make Zheng Fa even let go of this?
Secret Method of Magic?
New secret to refining weapons?
After a while, Zheng Facai looked up unconsciously. Seeing her staring at the jade tube in her hand curiously, she explained with a smile: "This is the "Census Report of the Hundred Immortals Alliance" sent back by Uncle Pang."
Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment.
"This is a rough investigation, mainly targeting the reserves of various practice sects and spiritual materials."
Xie Qingxue also understood.
She also knew about the Jiushan Sect’s census, and even knew how detailed the data Zheng Fa wanted was:

Zheng Fa was a little stunned, handed the jade tube to her readily, and smiled, "This is not a secret."
Xie Qingxue sinks her spiritual consciousness into the jade tube and finds that the investigation report is very distinctive, probably from Zheng Fashu.
There is a big title in the content of the jade tube called "Investigation Report on the Cultivators of the Hundred Immortals Alliance".
It is divided into four major parts:
The first part is the overview of the Hundred Immortal Alliance, which includes the geographical environment, area, large and small forces and surrounding forces of the Hundred Immortal Alliance.
Xie Qingxue also knows this, but the data here is more detailed.
She just watched it for a moment and then passed by.
The second part is the distribution of wealth in the Hundred Immortal Alliance, which she looked very seriously:
"All spiritual fields are controlled by major sects... Among them, ninety percent of the upper-class spiritual fields are in the hands of sects above the Golden Pill."
"More than 80% of the magic weapon elixir market and the spiritual talisman market are monopolized by the Yuanying Sect."
"Will the output of major spiritual ores flow to the Nascent Soul Sect?"
Xie Qingxue chanted softly.
She looked back at the first piece of the Hundred Immortal Alliance, which was written very clearly by Pang Zhenren. After the Demonic Tribulation, there were more than 1,600 large and large sects or families in the land of the Hundred Immortal Alliance.
Among them, there are only five of the Nascent Soul forces, including Jiushan Sect.
The power of the golden elixir is only thirty-one except for repeated calculations.
The highest combat power of other sects or families is nothing more than foundation building.
If these forces have nothing to do with each other, they cannot be ranked in the Hundred Immortal Alliance... they can only rely on one sect in the Hundred Immortal Alliance.
Only divided by the number of forces.
80% of the wealth in the Hundred Immortal Alliance may be in the hands of less than one-fifty sects or families.
The third piece is the monk structure, which makes Xie Qingxue frown even more.
Among the Hundred Immortals Alliance, except for the Chongxuan Sect, including the Jiushan Sect, there are now thirty-two cultivators above the Nascent Soul.
There are 286 Jindan monks in total.
As for the total number of monks, the data Pang Zhenren gave an estimate, which is about 80,000 people.
In other words, if wealth is divided into individuals, there are more than 300 monks above the golden elixir, accounting for less than 200 of the total number of monks.
But the resources they occupy are probably far more than 80% of...
You should know that other small forces are also dependent on them to live.
As for the income and expenses of monks in the fourth section, Xie Qingxue also read it carefully.
As mentioned, every foundation-building monk has 50% of the income, and it must be paid to the sect or stronger monk.
There are more qi-training monks.
She just read it briefly, but it also proved a thought in her heart:
Any cultivator with high cultivation occupies resources that others cannot reach, and the more you have to practice, the more resources you need, and the more harsh it will be for the plunder of the lower-level cultivators.
What made her uneasy was...
This is just a monk.
The monk is already the individual who can control his own destiny in the Xuanwei Realm.
That mortal...
She didn't have to read the investigation report to understand that the mortals suffered a hundred times more plunder than monks.
Every monk either understands this or does not understand this, but he is also used to living above the heads of mortals.
In this extremely opposite situation, let them hand over their lives to mortals...
Who can be willing?
Who dares?
Therefore, when the ancestor refined the four swords of Zhuxian, he would... even his personal disciples betray him.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingxue felt a mess.
The question from my master before appeared in her ears again—
How would you choose?
She doesn't know the answer, or rather, she knows the answer, but she doesn't want to think deeply.
…
Zheng Fa seemed to see the entanglement in her expression and asked curiously: "But the matter of getting involved in the Immortal Sword is very troublesome?"
Xie Qingxue shook her head: "I didn't understand why Immortal Sword was trapped in Chongxuan Sect..."
She repeated what Chief Yan told her and said to Zheng Fa again.
Zheng Fa frowned after hearing this.
"No wonder, the Feiyun Sword I refined can trigger the abnormal movement of the Xianxian Sword..."
Zheng Fa had a guess before, and now he confirmed that the black sword was a fairy sword, so he naturally affirmed his own thoughts—
Perhaps because I used some of the sword-refining techniques of the Tianhe Sect, the immortal sword was somewhat sensitive.
Xie Qingxue reminded again: "My master said that although Haori Mountain seems to be unable to control the Xianxian Sword, the power of the Xianxian Sword must not be underestimated... They put this sword in Chongxuan Sect, and they are afraid that they have some plans."
"Don't take it lightly."
Of course Zheng Fa understood this.
This immortal sword can be said to have changed the situation in the Xuanwei Realm and made Venerable Tianhe fail. It can be seen that its power is.
Not to mention, for an era, Haorishan has no choice but to have this Immortal Sword.
It’s definitely not something you can do randomly.
"In this way, we still have to figure out what Haorishan and the others are going to do..."
On the other hand, Haori Mountain will never throw it around everywhere, such as the peerless treasure of the Immortal Sword.
It always has a purpose if you throw it into Chongxuan Sect.
even…
This thing is hard to refine by those seven gods?
Zheng Fa didn't believe it very much.
Therefore, this Chongxuan Sect may be a little special.
Zheng Fa was calculating various possibilities in his mind, and saw that Xie Qingxue was unconfused and seemed to have something difficult to solve.
"Thank you Fairy?"
Xie Qingxue slowly came back to her senses, looked at the Qingping Sword on her waist, and her eyes avoided it like an electric shock, and then smiled bitterly, "I just realized today... If I were the ancestor of the Four-Meridians, I would..."
Zheng Fa nodded for granted and said, "Of course, ninety-nine out of a hundred monks...all the same."
"Um?"
"Maybe that's right, but... it's too urgent..."
Zheng Fa sighed lightly and said to Xie Qingxue:
"He is surrounded by traditional Xuanwei monks... he has never been a member of the same place."
“You can imagine the choices you can make.”
Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment and keenly captured a new concept that Zheng Fa mentioned: "Traditional... Xuanwei Cultivator?"
"Oh, look, this is a report given to me by Senior Sister Zhang."
Xie Qingxue curiously took the account book from Zheng Fa.
"After the establishment of the textile factory... the types of commodities in the clothing market increased tenfold, the average price decreased by 30%, and the export revenue..."
"Food processing plants...the daily food share of Twelve Prefectures has increased by four times."
"The population of newborns in Jiushanjie tripled last month, and the mortality rate was less than 90% last month."
"The average household property has increased by 50%, and each household has half a year of rations..."
This is the change in the mortal world of the Nine Mountains after the initial development of the Hundred Immortal Alliance trade.
Zheng Fa felt excited when he read it before - the rough combination of the method of cultivating immortals and modern technology may not be that powerful, but it is too effective to change the fate of mortals.
After reading the investigation of the Hundred Immortals Alliance sent by Uncle Pang, the gap became more and more obvious.
The simplest change is what the monks have brought to this world.
"We have to admit that the great power of the monks belongs to themselves, and what they pursue is their own strength, which is an unchangeable fact." Zheng Fa also looked at the report in her hand and whispered, "The idea of the Venerable Tianhe is actually very good... to establish a mysterious world of checks and balances with each other."
"The problem is that maybe he really has the ability to Zhu Xian, but he can't change people's hearts..."
"I don't have the ambitions of the Venerable..."
Zheng Fa laughed at himself. He was a coward like him, but he really had no confidence to stand against all monks.
"So you chose... to change the relationship between monks and mortals?"
"Xie Xianzi, the wealth in this world was distributed in the past because of strength... I wondered whether it could be distributed in the future based on contributions?"
Xie Qingxue looked at Zheng Fa blankly.
Comparing the ancestor, she naturally understood what Zheng Fa meant - the fact that immortal cultivators have powerful power cannot be changed. What Zheng Fa thought was that in this powerful power, he could find a way to benefit sentient beings.
What if monks and mortals no longer have an opposition...
What if mortals become rich because of monks, and monks become stronger because of mortals?
Zheng Fa tilted his head, looked at Xie Qingxue, and smiled:
"Xie Xianzi, this road may not be simpler than the path of Tianhe Patriarch..."
Another question came to Xie Qingxue's ear: "Do you... want to be together?"
…Master, I may have found the answer to your question.
