Chapter 186: Foothold
In Xuanming Cave, the 'Lotus Zi' turned a deaf ear to Qi Xuan's words and seemed to have no response. Qi Xuan frowned slightly: "Hey, why don't you speak anymore? What does it mean?"
‘Lotus Seed’ finally spoke quietly again: “Even if there is the aura of immortal spirit, what does it have to do with me? I am still going to fall into your hands and let it be exploited, and in the end I will even be refined into an immortal weapon, etc.”
Qi Xuan immediately laughed: "You are too worried. It's not enough for so many of us to tear you down. We just need you to share your own understanding of the laws. How about it?
We can swear that it will never be bad for you, and we will do our best to find a path to hope for you!”
Lianzi was finally moved: "Why?"
"It's very simple, because the understanding of the law you carry can allow us to touch the threshold of the Daluo Golden Immortal. In return, in order not to get involved in cause and effect, we will find a path of hope for you. From now on, we will not owe anyone. How about it?"
"good!"
"So, how do you call you? You can't call it "Lotus seed"?"
"Just call me 'Liansheng'."
After the truth was made clear, both sides immediately swore. Then Qi Xuan and other immortals provided a large number of immortal crystals and related treasures to restore Liansheng to their peak. Both sides arranged formations on the spot and began to understand Liansheng's body and the laws that the ice and snow lotus (the entire Jiuyou Xuanfei) came with.
When Qi Xuan and others understood the laws, Liansheng also realized different practice laws from them. The two sides were in a state of mutual communication, but Liansheng gave the understanding of the laws at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, while Qi Xuan and others gave the ordinary practice methods, but the practice methods of more than a thousand people.
Deep in Xuanming Cave, 1,010 great immortals and one Jiuyou Xuanfei fell into seclusion. This time, seclusion will probably take more than two years. As for the place where Qi Xuan mentioned possesses the aura of immortality, it is actually... Shang Kingdom!
…………
On the Shang Dynasty, the country explained the issue of luck. Although it was a bit vague, it was not aimless. After this reason was released, it actually received support from many wise men. Many masters of practice, or those who practiced and astrology and divination had some insights into the crisis facing Shang Dynasty.
With these people coming forward, the Shang Dynasty stabilized again; and facing possible crises, the Chinese people expressed their willingness to respond to the country's conscription at any time. Many big merchants even said that they could contribute all their strength to the country's war at any time.
A small fluctuation in Shang and the country passed quickly, which in turn inspired the sense of crisis among the people.
At this time, the Shang Kingdom continued to accelerate the construction of Tianwaitian, and an unprecedented auction had entered the countdown, attracting countless attention for a while. This auction was the auction of Tianwaitian Teleportation Array.
Shangguo has built a total of five cross-border teleportation arrays leading to Tianwaitian. In addition to the two teleportation arrays given to Jiuchongtian Group and Feitian Group, the remaining three teleportation arrays will be auctioned publicly.
This news has spread a long time ago, and now as time approaches, the impact is getting worse and worse. Even the Prime Minister's Office set up an examination institution and selects secretary for the wise king is not as popular as this. Nothing else, the business is still what the Shang Dynasty attaches more importance to.
For the remaining three teleportation arrays, the commercial groups in the Shang Dynasty began to merge horizontally - everyone knows that even if they can win the teleportation array with their own strength, they are unable to operate; almost most of the excellent merchants in the Shang Dynasty have been to Tianwaitian. They know what Tianwaitian looks like, and they also know what kind of crises, opportunities, and investments there are.
Large enterprises began to unite strongly. Under Li Xian's one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, the capitalism of Shang Kingdom is developing in a new direction. Small capitalists form large capital consortiums, and large capital consortiums are built again, forming the basic national structure of Shang Kingdom.
If the feudal system in the past used marriage as a bond to consolidate the interests of various nobles, families and sects, then the current Shang Dynasty used capital as a bond to build a new network of relationships.
With capital as the link, the merchant country has stimulated almost all the potential of the country, contributing to the development of this country.
In order to prevent the emergence of monopoly capital, Li Xian directed the country to continue to expand, dilute the monopoly capital class with new interests, and then cultivate a large number of excellent students, providing new opportunities to make more people become big capitalists. After the snowball effect is formed, the Shang Kingdom can continue to expand wildly.
Unless, it will be severely damaged.
However, in order to prevent the country from suffering heavy damage, Li Xian encouraged Shang and the country to pursue science and technology frantically and encourage practice. Therefore, although Shang and the country have encountered some crises so far, they have basically survived smoothly.
Perhaps the biggest crisis that Shang Kingdom is currently facing is that it has encountered the oppression of the two major forces of "Ziyuntian" and "Qingxiatian" in the Phantom Spirit World, and has to temporarily put off its tail. This has also led to Shang Kingdom suspending the development of nine heavens and turning to the development of nine lands.
The auction was held in the central square of Beidou City and was completely open. The warm scene attracted countless attentions, and this auction was more like a capital event. The teleportation arrays of three public auctions attracted the participation of almost all large capital chaebols in Shangguo.
Oh, Green Forest Investment Bank and Zizhu Group did not participate. Lan Baolin of Green Forest Investment Bank is now the Minister of Commerce of Shangguo, and Xie Yuhua of Zizhu Group is the Prime Minister of Shangguo. Moreover, Green Forest Investment Bank received support from the state in its early development, and Zizhu Group also received the teleportation array operation given by the state. In order to ensure fairness in the capital market, the two companies could not participate in the auction.
Also, Jiuchongtian Group and Feitian Group have obtained teleportation arrays and cannot participate in the auction.
The competition is very fierce, and the auction price has almost risen all the way, with the starting price reaching a staggering 100 billion taels of gold, which soon climbed to 200 billion taels.
The crazy auction stimulated the economy of Shang Kingdom; the destiny of Shang Kingdom, which had consumed more than half of the money a few days ago, became boiling again.
The auction lasted for half a day, and the final five teleportation arrays belonged to:
One Jiuchongtian Group, one Feitian Group, one Pengcheng Wanli Group and some chaebols took a photo, and one Mainland Transportation Group and some chaebols took a photo. The last teleportation array was the Adventure and Mercenary Association, and took a photo on behalf of the adventurer.
In the Shang Dynasty, the Adventure and Mercenary Association is a very special department. It is said to be a state institution, but it has never been included in the national administrative management system and is completely willing to develop. Now this is a collection of civil adventurers with an official name, but in fact it is a collection of folk adventurers.
The capital of this auction comes from the joint preparations of adventurers and mercenaries.
Li Xian saw the madness of private capital and expressed encouragement, but Li Xian's eyes were no longer here. Now the focus of Shang Dynasty is on the Nine Lands!
Exploring the Nine Lands is of great significance to the Shang Kingdom. First, it is to develop new benefits and spaces, and secondly, it is to obtain many treasures to promote the practice of the "Golden Immortal Great Perfection Dao Fruit" in Shang Kingdom.
When the auction was still going on, Li Xian's eyes had turned to the war in the nine places. The Shang Kingdom occupied Dinghu Mountain. It should be said that the Shang Kingdom finally stood firm under the nine places.
But the war with the beast tide did not end, because Huanglong Mountain in the south became stronger. The top evil beast that fled Dinghu Mountain appeared on Huanglong Mountain. The alliance of experts often formed the result of one plus one greater than two, which is the case now.
After the alliance, Huanglong Mountain launched a retaliatory attack on the Jingyang Realm in the north, and it actually captured the Jingyang Realm in one fell swoop, occupying the vast land west of the Jialing River, and isolating the Guangping Realm, Wuluo Realm, and Guangling Realm in the east of the Jialing River.
The situation is very dangerous. The three isolated worlds cannot ask for help from the more inland worlds, and can only ask for help from Shangguo.
But now, here in Huanglong Mountain, there is already a considerable understanding of the war methods of Shang. It can be foreseeable that if the suddenness is lost, the evil beast will inevitably be able to rely on its local advantages and broad strategic depth to level the gap with Shang.
At this time, under the nine places, a few remaining masters in Jingyang Realm were glaring at the generals of Shang Kingdom. Among them, the king of Jingyang Realm pointed at Su Zhongge in anger and said bluntly: "I think this beast tide is the one that you Shang Kingdom did!"
(It's the winter solstice, I'll eat dumplings tonight. See you tomorrow.)
