Since ancient times, the selection of talents had to pay attention to four words: having both ability and virtue.
The so-called 'virtue' naturally referred to one's moral character and character, and by extension, it was merit. Talent was a person's ability to handle matters, and a person's strength. Virtue and talent were indispensable.
On the path to 'Martial Saint', Qin Lang deliberately stopped here in order to make his foundation more solid, and also to be able to go further on the path of Martial Saint.
In order to achieve the Holy Embryo and step into the Martial Saint level, one should first understand what 'Saint' was. This was what Qin Lang was currently thinking about.
Marquis Wuming had become a Martial Saint over a hundred years. In these hundred years, Marquis Wuming had always been secretly protecting the people of Hua Xia, and even established the Dragon Snake Troop. This was a very great merit. Although Marquis Wuming might not be clear about the meaning of merit, he was able to use this merit to turn calamities into blessings, smoothly step into the Martial Saint level, and then enter the world of cultivation. Although there was no news from Marquis Wuming, Qin Lang still firmly believed that nothing had happened to Marquis Wuming. This was because a person with such great merit and great luck should not have died a violent death in the first place.
Now, it was Qin Lang's turn to step into the Martial Saint level. Although his strength was already enough to push him into this level, and if it was someone else, they might have already eagerly formed a Holy Embryo, Qin Lang forcibly stopped in his tracks, just to properly understand the heart of heaven, and to understand the true meaning of the word 'Saint'.
Now, Qin Lang already understood where the problem lay.
A Saint should not only possess the strength to match his strength, but he should also possess the merit to match his strength.
The reason why those ancient Saints could be immortal was because they had unparalleled merit. For example, Shennong gave people the method to use the five grains and medicinal herbs; Suirenshi made fire by drilling wood, teaching people how to use fire to cook food; Yu the Great controlled the flood …
The main reason why these people were Saints was that they had the corresponding merit.
Understanding the crux of the problem, Qin Lang began to think about the corresponding countermeasures.
Qin Lang felt that the power of merit he obtained in Tibet was not a coincidence, but a kind of opportunity. It was this kind of opportunity that pushed Qin Lang's realm to the Full Circle. This kind of fortuitous encounter was something that could not be sought. It was not an obstacle to Qin Lang's cultivation level, but it was pushing Qin Lang into a higher realm in the future.
Without this fortuitous encounter, if Qin Lang forcefully advanced to the Martial Sage realm, although his strength would increase greatly in a short period of time, it would be troublesome for him to raise his cultivation in the future. If he didn't reach the Great Perfection realm, it would leave behind hidden dangers for his future cultivation.
Fortunately, Qin Lang did not take the wrong path, so he still had a chance to make up for it.
However, where did merit come from?
Purposely doing good deeds might not necessarily lead to merit, this was something that Qin Lang had already understood before. For example, some organizations under the banner of 'charity', although they would usually give some monetary help to the poor, most of the money was used to speculate in real estate, keep mistresses, and so on. Some even directly embezzled the money. Although these people were doing good deeds, what merit was there to speak of?
? The moon is high and proud, wielding the zinc, and the peaches are exhausted? You hold the loyalty of the pao, and the delicate Di Cai, and leech? Black perch? Ying? Still? Wu calls to make up for Φ?? Pian clam??? Reading and lying?? Copy?
As for Qin Lang's current situation, if he wanted to build up merit and reach the Great Perfection realm, he was afraid that treating a few patients would not be enough. He needed more merit.
"Looks like I can't just cultivate pills here, I have to quickly advance my previous plan."
After thinking for a while, Qin Lang made up his mind. Poisons were originally not suitable for building merit, but since poisons could save people, then Poisons could naturally also build merit. Apart from turning poisons into medicines that could save people, Qin Lang's previous plan could also be advanced, which was to integrate all of the underworld in Hua Xia, purify the people of the righteous path, and thus change the structure of the underworld and the jianghu in this society, changing the way the people of the world viewed the jianghu and Poisons. This could naturally be considered a type of merit.
Apart from this, Qin Lang could further increase the strength of the Dragon Snake troops and consolidate the defensive power of Hua Xia. This should naturally be a great merit as well.
After finding the right direction, the following matters were also logical.
After leaving South China United University, Qin Lang headed for the headquarters of the assassin organization. There were some things that needed to be done in advance, or else it would become more troublesome in the future.
The current Hua Xia assassin organization was completely different from any assassin organization in the past, because those assassin organizations in the past all amassed wealth through assassins, and the members of the organization did not have so-called loyalty to the organization itself, except for familial assassin organizations like the Tangmen. However, the current Hua Xia assassin organization was different. It was not that these assassin members had much loyalty to the organization, but rather that the interests between the two sides had reached a state of equilibrium. They needed each other, so the relationship between them had become even closer.
It was impossible not to be close. Right now, the Hua Xia assassin organization was simply a "paradise" for many assassins, because not only could they earn money through accepting missions, they could also exchange for some elixirs for cultivation. These elixirs could be used to recover old injuries, increase cultivation potential, increase strength, and so on. In short, in the Hua Xia assassin organization, the treatment of all the assassins was unimaginable in the past. Therefore, even an old assassin like the "Buddha Butcher" was completely convinced by this group. There was only one reason:
The Hua Xia assassin organization gave other assassin organizations unimaginable treatment!
Therefore, today's Hua Xia assassin organization had completely monopolized this industry. This was not false at all.
However, Tang Shengyin, who was at the helm of the group, had a very complicated expression when she saw Qin Lang, so much so that Qin Lang couldn't help but ask, "Elder Tang Shengyin, you don't seem to be happy to see me?"
"That's not what I mean." Tang Shengyin quickly explained, "I'm afraid to see you because every time I see you, it seems that you have new ideas. I'm already an old man now, so I can't accept new things too quickly. I can't compare to Tang San in this regard."
Qin Lang chuckled and said, "Don't worry. Whether it's a new idea or an old idea, I won't cheat an old man like you anyway."
Qin Lang deliberately emphasized the word "old man". This was naturally a joke to Tang Shengyin.
After Tang Shengyin became familiar with Qin Lang, she also knew that this young sect master was easier to get along with. It was natural for her to joke with him.
However, Tang Shengyin was sure that Qin Lang must have something important to do today, so she said, "Sect Master Qin, if you have something to say, just tell me. Anyway, this assassin group is yours. You can use it however you want."
"Heh, you can't say that. Although this assassin group is under the banner of Poisons, it's the culmination of the painstaking efforts of the seniors, so I think everything should be discussed before making a decision. " As the young Sect Master, it was necessary for him to maintain some modesty. After all, Founding Elders like Tang Shengyin still needed special care. These people were all existences that could take charge of their own affairs. They could do many things for the Poison Sect, and Qin Lang did not need to worry about everything.
