Chapter 1: Wu Yong is not mediocre "If there are people who practice cultivation and learn the Dao among the younger generation, if they practice three parts, I will respond to them seven parts. If they behave uprightly, I will be there to help them at any time!" "What a domineering treasure scroll! It seems that Erlang is really going to embark on the path of becoming a soldier?" The Nine Mountain Immortals Map that had been worshipped in the Wu family hall for generations had turned into this never-before-seen guardian Taoist general. There really is no unchanging family in the world. The Fuyao Wu family, which has been glorious for a thousand years, has fallen to this point. Have they completely given up on the path to immortality and turned to being Taoist soldiers and guardians? This made Zhou Boyao, who came to collect the spiritual field and spiritual seal, feel grieving. His Zhou family was now in a period of transition. I just hope that after taking over the Wu family’s large spiritual fields and spiritual seals, things will get a little better! "Brother Bo Yue, why do you have to test me like this? The Wu family has declined to this point, and I don't have complete spiritual roots. How can I continue my immortal path?" "If I switch to the guardian lineage, I might even be able to win the position of a Taoist general and continue my good fortune for the rest of my life!" "The spiritual mines in Beiyuan have been transferred to the Fanyang Lu family, and the spiritual fields in Hedong have been transferred to the nobles. My Wu family has withdrawn from the ranks of immortal families. I hope that Brother Boyue will take good care of us in the future!" The heroic young man on the main seat bowed slightly to the visitor with a sincere attitude. Although he looked humble, he did not appear weak at all! The Wu family of Dongjun thus formally bowed to the Zhou family, handed over the spiritual fields and spiritual seals, and withdrew from the aristocratic class of Dongjun. Since then, of the two great native immortal families in Dongjun, only the Five Fire Zhou family remains! The mainstream of this world is the immortal path.
People with complete spiritual roots enter the Taoist temple, cultivate a breath of innate qi and pass it on to qigong practitioners; they build a foundation and become sorcerers; they condense the elixir and become spirits and can be called magicians; spirit and qi together can be called true gods; those who go further can become immortals! Warlocks will have their lifespan extended by an additional two 60 years, and wizards will have their lifespan extended by another 500 years. A True Lord will have a lifespan as long as the Southern Mountains, and will be immortal for thousands of years! Apart from the path to immortality, there is only the path of being a Taoist soldier or a Dharma protector, from the lowest-ranking Taoist soldier, the strong man who can move mountains and hills, the Dharma protector who can turn rivers and seas upside down, to the Taoist general who is located at the gate of the immortal court. This path of soldier guardian is a branch of the immortal way. Without spiritual roots, one cannot build up the sea of qi, condense the elixir and transform into a spirit. One must specialize in cultivating the seven soul chakras and refining the Zhoutian acupoints! The Taoist method is to store the Qi in the body, and the acupoints in the body will interact with each other from a distance. However, it is still much weaker than the immortal path, and can only be used as a side method! What future do the Wu family, who have turned to practicing Taoism and becoming guardians, have in the eyes of a true family of practitioners? After the Zhou family spent a lot of resources to seize the Wu family's precious spiritual fields, they naturally did not mind making the Wu family a subordinate county of theirs. After all, the more "consumables" like Taoist soldiers you have, the better! "Master! Since the Wu family has been declining in numbers, Wu Yong is the only legitimate son left, and his spiritual roots are incomplete just as the rumors say." "The great wizard of the Wu family also passed away half a year ago. Now the Wu family is like a child with gold in a busy city! Why don't we just take over the entire Wu family's foundation?" Coming out of Wu Mansion, the staff serving Zhou Boyue had an idea and bowed to offer a plan! The Wu family is an older family than the Zhou family. Although they have declined, the ancestral property accumulated over thousands of years is extremely rich. If you can get one or two, it will be very profitable. "Ok?" "idiot!" Zhou's face, which had been originally gentle and kind, suddenly became cloudy. He turned around and slapped the servant girl to the ground! "No matter how poor the Wu family is, they won't fall to the point where they can't even keep their home in just half a year!" "Don't forget, the old lady of the Wu family personally asked for a hibiscus tree seedling in Baiyujing several years ago." "Humph! Even if Wu Yong's innate spiritual roots are incomplete, this Fusang tree can ensure that he will become the number one person under the mage. Besides, the old servants of the Wu family are not all dead." "If you keep gossiping outside, I'll cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs." These stupid slaves underestimated the legacy left by a spiritual master to future generations. Since the Wu family has already withdrawn from the interest group, it will naturally fall into a slow death. Why should he touch this bad luck? "Wu Yong is not as mediocre as his name!" "He who dares to decisively turn to the path of Dharma Protector during this period and recall all the old servants of the Wu family is no simple person." "What's more, the Wu family's great-great ... "Stupid thing, you better not ruin my business!" The legitimate sons of different branches in the clan were fighting with each other, and he finally got in touch with the Wu family, who might become his most important external aid in the future.
If this idiot wasn't his servant who had been with him since he was a child, he really wanted to slap this idiot to death. Zhou's face turned cold and he walked away in anger! The servants who were accompanying him trembled in their hearts, realizing that they had said something wrong, and they quickly stood up and followed behind obediently, escorting the young master onto the departing sedan chair. Return to Wu Mansion! "Uncle! Why did you sell off all the ancestral property? How will the family survive?" A beautiful woman wrapped in a white robe walked out from the back hall, looking like she was about to cry, and questioned Wu Yong! "If we don't sell it now, and wait until those ambitious people with their eyes on it cause trouble, it won't be worth the price by then!" "Sister-in-law is so smart, how come she can't even see this?" Wu Yong picked up the teacup, pursed his thin lips, and glanced at the woman in plain clothes indifferently, but his words were very harsh. There are only Wu Yong, a twelve-year-old concubine sister, and three direct descendants of this sister-in-law in the mansion now! How can you support such a large shelf without selling them one by one and waiting to be taken advantage of? "But, uncle." Wu Yong raised his hand to interrupt his sister-in-law. How could he not know what she wanted! "The ancestral property that the family sold off was given to various noble families that were friendly with the Wu family. This was established by our ancestors before! Sister-in-law, there is no need to say more." "From now on, the household affairs will naturally be taken care of by my sister-in-law, and the old ancestor has also left behind a few capable servants." "After the ancestral property is sold, the old servants who were sent out will return one after another! The group in the north has become powerful, and they are probably not very obedient. If they can't be controlled, throw them to the farm outside the city. After I come back, I will deal with them one by one!" "The old people in Hedong have been taking care of the spiritual fields diligently. Sister-in-law can rely on them more." "I will be returning to the Taoist temple tomorrow. After that, the Wu family will completely withdraw from the class of immortal families. We may have to start all over again as a prominent family of cultivators in the county!" "Since my sister-in-law is concerned about the household affairs, then you will take charge of the household affairs, go to General Manager Jin to take over the key to the outer treasury, and take stock of all the affairs in the mansion!" She wants rights, give them to her! "Uncle, what are you talking about? Something has suddenly happened in my house and I don't know what to do!" Xu Miaoxi looked at Wu Yong timidly, but received no response for a long time. After a long stalemate, she had no choice but to bow to Wu Yong and leave the hall. The only legitimate son of the Wu family was known to be cold-hearted, so even she couldn't refute him much. How could Wu Yong not know what kind of person this sister-in-law who had lived in Xiyuan for a long time was? His sister-in-law Xu Fengxi usually didn't look like she was about to cry. She was already a well-established sorcerer, and her former half-brother had pursued her in every possible way before he was moved and welcomed her into his mansion! Unfortunately, he was not blessed enough, and after entering the blessed land of Dongzhou, there was no news from him. This woman fulfilled her duties well after entering the Wu family, but she still couldn't hide her arrogance. In the eyes of the servants, she was the most difficult person to serve in the mansion. Perhaps her background somewhat limited her horizons. Seeing the ancestral property being sold off, she was quite panicked. She did not care about many other things and directly questioned Wu Yong. Seeing that she had such intention, Wu Yong gave her a task and let her manage the treasury funds to prevent her from having any undue concerns. Wu Yong is not a native of this world! He was originally a Taoist youth from another world. He accidentally fell while climbing the Lingguan Temple on a steep mountain. After waking up, he turned into Wu Yong, the legitimate son of the Wu family with the same name and surname in this world. When he just woke up, the old lady of the Wu family was extremely worried. She put her grandson into a coma for several days just to test his spiritual roots. The Wu family’s only child was almost gone! Regarding his innate spiritual roots. The old lady of the Wu family went to Baiyujing to obtain a sacred tree root - Fusang! She planted it in Wu Yong's half of the sea of qi, forcibly continuing Wu Yong's path of cultivation, and the last seedling of the Wu family was able to thrive. "The Great Spiritual Officer of Dutian is above!" "I was born with a defective spiritual root, and the Taoist soldier system in this world is not yet complete, but I have no choice!" "I only hope that I can follow your path of guardian deity and fight for the position of a Taoist general, so that all the cultivation you have done for me over the years will not be in vain!" Wu Yong looked up at the portrait of Wang Lingguan in the lobby with a solemn expression.
The chief of the five hundred spiritual officials, the Great Spiritual Officer of Dutian, the Spiritual Officer of the Three-Five Fire Train King, and the Taiyi Thunderous Voice Response and Transformation Officer! He has the reputation of "Before going up the mountain, one must first worship Wang Lingguan". He is one of the ceilings in the system of Dharma protectors. He makes the Lingguan seal with his left hand and holds a whip in his right arm. He can whip the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and even the Monkey King! When Wu Yong fell into this world, he happened to get a scroll of Lingguan Baogao, which contained the outline of the Yellow Turban Warrior, Grass-Headed God and other guardians. This is why Wu Yong resolutely chose to turn to the path of Taoist soldiers. With incomplete spiritual roots and no chance of becoming an immortal, if he took the path of Taoist soldiers, with the sacred edict of the spiritual official, he might have a chance to win a position as a Taoist general below the level of an immortal god, right? The immortal path of this world has already embarked on a plane journey, from the secret realms of paradise to the cross-dimensional expeditions, all of which are led by the Great Golden Elixir Master, the Great Yuanshen Lord and other immortal masters! As a result, the demand for Taoist soldiers to protect the law has become increasingly greater, but the endings of these Taoist soldiers are generally not good. After all, Taoist soldiers are just a subsidiary system of the immortal way. Compared with the spiritual root restrictions of Taoist priests and sorcerers, the most common Taoist soldiers can be piled up with resources. For the mage, they are the most cost-effective cannon fodder! "In the world of the previous life, only the most capable monks could be called generals and spiritual officials!" "I want to see if the Dharma of the previous life can become the Tao of this life!" Wu Yong looked at the majestic Taoist figure in the hall and felt something in his heart. After finding out that his spiritual roots were incomplete, the old lady of the Wu family paved the way for him. He has now become a Yellow Turban Warrior! He can use the Warrior Talisman to move mountains and be invulnerable to swords and spears. He can use the Fire Talisman to spit out fireballs. He can turn the Talisman into water, burn the Talisman and put it into the water. After drinking it, it can remove all poisons and eliminate all disasters! The Taoist soldier style is weaker than the immortal fighting style, but among his peers in the Dongjun Taoist Academy, there is no one who can become a sorcerer. The only one who has achieved the second level is him, Wu Yong! Wu Yong put the Imperial Edict into his mustard seed bag, turned around and headed for the East Garden. He then casually called out to the servant standing outside the hall: "Qinglai! Go tell the housekeeper that Xiyuan will be in charge of the housekeeping from now on. Everything will be up to her!" "Yes, Second Master!" Then, a flurry of hurried footsteps gradually faded away from the hall. Most of the Wu family's immortal resources have been sold, leaving only a mine, a beast park, and two spiritual vein manors in the county! The former can be used in the Taoist guard system, and the latter is left to a few people in the mansion. The output of the manor is enough to support them. "Tomorrow is the day for the Taoist Academy to conduct the final spiritual root test and the development of the sea of qi. Every year, there are always some geniuses who fail because of spiritual root or sea of qi problems!" "Tao soldiers also need qualifications. How can there be mortals in the county with better qualifications than the disciples of the Taoist Academy who have passed the various tests?" Wu Yong's goal is to select a group of failed students from the Taoist academy. The good family children who have been trained in the Taoist academy for seven years can soon become Taoist soldiers after spending a certain amount of resources! The Taoist Academy has announced the results, and in three months, the blessed land of East County - the Boneless Forest will be opened! This is also one of the reasons why Wu Yong turned to become a Taoist soldier. Every state and county has its own secret paradise, which is opened once a year during the Taoist academy's graduation ceremony. Only the quasi-Qigong practitioners who are on the annual list of the Taoist academy in the state and county are allowed to enter. There are also guards accompanying them! Every time the secret realm is opened, each state and county will hire a large number of Taoist soldiers to guard and eliminate the disaster areas and evil places in the blessed land to ensure the safety and balance within the secret realm. The death rate of Taoist soldiers has always been high! It is precisely because of this that the Taoist soldiers are given the opportunity to obtain resources and treasures in the secret realm just like the Taoist disciples. What Wu Yong wanted to try was to take advantage of the opportunity that the students who failed the Taoist Academy had not yet left and build a Taoist camp from scratch. The inspiration comes from the Taoist myths about the sanctification of the flesh, the five hundred spiritual officials, the Taoist guards, the golden-armored Taoist generals, etc. The path of spiritual officials can also be called the great way!
