Chengwu Hall.
Zheng Fang and a middle-aged man in brocade sat opposite each other.
Towards the sudden arrival of this person.
Zheng Fang's expression was slightly solemn because the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, but from the Central State Prefecture.
The other party had a clear identity.
Imperial Court Emissary.
No servants came to serve tea, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
Zheng Fang stroked his beard with one hand, looked at the middle-aged emissary in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "May I know why the esteemed emissary is here?"
"This time, I am here on the orders of the imperial court to invite Sect Master Qin to help."
"Invite Sect Master Qin?"
"Elder Zheng should know that now that the Devil Calamity is rampant in the Great Zhao Country, the imperial court has invited all the strong practitioners in the world to kill the evil spirits and quell the Devil Calamity. Sect Master Qin once killed the Moon-Swallowing Demon King in Fallen Moon Manor and hundreds of evil spirits in Beiyun Manor.
His Majesty has also heard of such a shocking move.
Now, in order to deal with the demons in the other prefectures, he specially came to invite Sect Master Qin to help. "
Wu Lang did not beat around the bush, nor did he have the arrogance of an imperial court emissary. He just cupped his hands and said.
But in his words.
There was also some implicit flattery towards Qin Shujian.
Zheng Fang also understood some of Wu Lang's words.
Compared to the calm situation in the Beiyun Prefecture, the other prefectures were in chaos.
But.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "My sect master is in seclusion, I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you."
"Seclusion?"
Wu Lang was stunned.
He thought that Yuan Zong might refuse, but he never thought that Qin Shujian would be in seclusion.
Immediately.
Wu Lang's heart sank a little.
Experts in seclusion were different from other cultivators, and it was not strange for them to be in seclusion for a few months or even a few years.
But if so.
His mission this time would be considered a failure.
Thinking of this.
Wu Lang hesitated and said with difficulty, "I wonder if Elder Zheng has a way to contact Sect Master Qin?"
"This old man also has no way, even I can't casually approach the place where Sect Master is in seclusion."
"Sigh." Wu Lang could not help but sigh at this time.
Seeing this.
Zheng Fang said, "How many days did the Imperial Court give you this time?"
"Half a month at most."
"How about this, if you don't mind, you can rest in my sect for a while. If the Sect Master comes out in half a month, I will send someone to inform you. If he doesn't, then there's nothing I can do about it."
"That's all we can do now."
Hearing this, Wu Lang nodded and did not refuse. Then, he cupped his hands and said politely.
"It's just that I'll have to trouble your esteemed sect this way. I hope that Elder Zheng won't take offense."
"It is my sect's honor to have you stay." At this point, Zheng Fang changed the topic, "I believe that since you've come to the Frost Mountain Spirit Realm, you haven't seriously explored Frost Mountain City, right?"
"After exiting the Teleportation Gate, I rushed straight to your esteemed sect. I didn't have time to look around."
"That's perfect. This old man will have someone accompany you around Cold Mountain City. You can also experience the scenery of our Cold Mountain City."
"Thank you very much."
Subsequently.
Zheng Fang called for an inner sect deacon and left with Wu Lang.
He said that he wanted the other party to stay in Yuan Sect and rest.
In fact, he made the arrangements in Frost Mountain City.
Inside the sect.
Apart from the disciples of Yuan Sect, the rest of the people were not allowed to stay overnight. On the contrary, Frost Mountain City became an important place for Yuan Sect to entertain guests.
With Wu Lang's status.
It was impossible for him to casually send someone to entertain the guests.
Although the inner sect deacons were not as important as the elders, their status was not low either.
As a guest of the imperial court, they would not be impolite.
At the peak of Frost Mountain.
Since he started cultivating, Qin Shujian would wake up every once in a while. Then, he would look at the increased life force and directly use it on cultivation techniques.
Until now.
Basically, all five cultivation techniques had been upgraded to the eighth level of the Spiritual Martial Technique.
As for the next level.
There was no way to upgrade it.
This was because the upgrade from the eighth level to the ninth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm required fifty million life force. And the upgrade from the ninth level to the tenth level required one hundred million life force.
Adding the five cultivation techniques together.
That was seven hundred and fifty million life force.
Looking at his own life force, Qin Shujian's face turned black.
"Upgrading each level of cultivation technique consumes too much life force!"
Looking at his life force that was not even a fraction, he could not help but sigh.
Ever since the sect had set the new rules.
With more than twenty thousand disciples in Yuan Sect, the amount of life force that could be contributed to him every day was one to three million. At the peak, it could even reach five to six million. However, this was very rare.
And as time passed, the disciples became stronger and stronger. The number of life force that could be contributed also gradually increased.
After a month.
The total amount of life force was at least fifty million life force.
If it was before.
Fifty million life force was already a lot.
But for now.
Fifty million life force was just a drop in the bucket. A cultivation technique from the first level of the Spiritual Martial Technique to the tenth level would require about two hundred million life force.
In other words.
On average, every four months, Qin Shujian would be able to upgrade one cultivation technique to the Spiritual Martial Technique to the Perfection Stage.
If all seven cultivation techniques reached the Perfection Stage.
Then it would take more than two years.
More than two years.
From the Spiritual Martial Realm to the Divine Martial Realm, and with an extremely strong foundation, this progress was actually not slow at all. It could even be described as shocking.
But —
At the very most, he had only been here for about three years.
In more than a year.
He had consecutively broken through the Basic Martial Realm, the True Martial Realm, and the Spiritual Martial Realm. But now the span from the Spiritual Martial Realm to the Divine Martial Realm took the same amount of time. It was no wonder that Qin Shujian had the idea that the breakthrough was slow.
And this was only the Spiritual Martial Realm.
If he reached the later stages of the Divine Martial Realm, it might take a few years to deduce one cultivation technique to the Perfection Stage. It would take at least ten or twenty years to push all seven cultivation techniques to the Perfection Stage.
As for the Celestial Being Stage.
It might take a few hundred years.
If he thought about it this way.
Qin Shujian felt that he needed to think about the path after the Divine Martial Realm.
"The most important thing now is to break through the current realm."
On second thought, he focused his attention on his own attributes.
During this period of time, his luck value had slowly increased by more than a hundred points. It proved that the five elders were still diligently going out to kill the demons and did not slack off.
It was just that the ordinary realm in the prefecture was vast.
It was not an easy task to find the seals of the demons one by one.
Therefore, the increase of his luck value had become extremely slow.
Looking at the luck value that had exceeded ten thousand.
Qin Shujian's expression was a little uncertain. He was thinking about a serious matter.
Now, his luck value had exceeded ten thousand.
If he piled it on a Doctrine Artifact, it could at least be upgraded to the level of a four-seal Doctrine Artifact, and there would be a lot left.
If he used it all.
The level of the Yuan Sect's force would most likely be upgraded from a fifth-level force to a sixth-level force.
A sixth-level force.
There would at least be a large number of Airborne Realm cultivators in the sect, and even Prominent Divine Realm cultivators.
But —
There were also great hidden dangers in doing so.
And that was.
The imperial court.
What level of force was the imperial court? According to Qin Shujian's guess, it was very likely to be a top ninth-level force.
Based on his understanding of the cultivation world.
There had never been a force that had broken through to a sixth-level force.
In other words, there was no sixth-level force among the current sects and forces.
Perhaps it was difficult to upgrade to a sixth-level force, or perhaps there had been a sixth-level force, but later there was no more.
As for why there was no more.
This reason was somewhat thought-provoking.
Put yourself in their shoes.
If the Yuan Sect was compared to the imperial court, a sixth-level force that had emerged in the territory under their jurisdiction in just a few years would have the mentality of being out of control.
For the imperial court.
A sixth-level force might not be worth paying attention to.
Then, would the imperial court be able to ignore the seventh-level, eighth-level, and even the ninth-level forces in the future?
According to Qin Shujian's guess.
If he was the ruler of the Great Zhao Empire, he would definitely not tolerate the existence of such an unstable factor and would definitely find ways to eliminate it.
Unless —
This unstable factor had the strength to make people wary and not dare to act rashly.
But the Yuan Sect was now in front of the imperial court.
It was still thousands of miles away from having the strength to make the imperial court wary and not dare to act rashly.
"Although a sixth-level force can greatly increase the strength of the sect, it is also very likely to arouse the suspicion of the imperial court. This may not be a good thing."
"Although the situation is chaotic now, the imperial court is still in control of most of the situation. In the Beiyun Mansion, Marquis Beiyun has stabilized the situation."
"I can't take this risk now."
After thinking about it, Qin Shujian suppressed the idea of upgrading to a sixth-level force.
For the current him.
The Yuan Sect could not be without.
Without this sect that provided a stable source of life, if he had to rely on himself in the future, when would he be able to become a Diviner?
According to Qin Shujian's idea.
If he wanted to make the imperial court wary.
He had to at least have the strength of a mighty figure.
Just like how Marquis Beiyun could intimidate the Demon Clan when he revealed the strength of a mighty figure. In a sense, only a mighty figure could be considered to have a certain amount of authority in the entire world.
Thinking of this.
Qin Shujian focused his attention on his attributes again.
Luck value: 11327
More than 11,000 points of luck value were converted into 1.1 billion sources of life.
Such a large amount of sources of life.
It was enough for him to completely upgrade his realm to the God Martial Arts Realm, and it was not as simple as just entering the God Martial Arts Realm.
Under the circumstance that he could not upgrade his force level.
If he could convert luck value into sources of life and then improve his strength, it would be the best choice.
After all —
Nothing was more important than his own realm.
Even if he could live a little longer.
It was something to be happy about.
However.
Before converting it into sources of life, Qin Shujian shifted his attention from the luck value to the special ability column.
Behind the spiritual eye, there was still a plus sign that could be upgraded.
