The queen must start from the head

Chapter 228
To be promoted from a ninth-rank power to an eighth-rank power needs to be reviewed by someone from the Taoist Palace.

A qualified eighth-rank force needs one immortal, five to ten enlightened people, and more than ten saint-level warriors. The total number of forces must also reach more than 500 people.

At present, among the Wushuang faction under heaven, Mu Lian, the leader, has already entered the fairyland.

However, there are only two people who have become enlightened, Xingyu and Hua Shiniang, three people are missing.

Currently, there are only four people in the Saint Realm: Zhou Jingshuang, Qiu Qianxue, Yue Yin, and Rong Nanny. He Ping and Yan Beiyue, who are in the Transcendent Realm, have gone into retreat after returning this time, and are expected to break through to the Saint Realm.

The remaining Shi Tai, Lu Qiu, and Qiao Yan, if they work harder, may break through.

But that's one more thing.

Mu Lian planned to transfer the great monk Xuan Kong, the director of the gatekeeper in Wushuang City, from a non-staff to an in-staff. This monk is a real saint.

Seeing that he has stayed peacefully in Wushuang City for more than ten years, and nothing happened, he should have broken ties with Buddhism long ago.

There are more disciples at the lower level of the Transcendent Realm, there must be 500 disciples.

Right now, among the new batch of disciples that my family just accepted this year, the ones with the worst martial arts foundation are even at the prefectural level.

Back when she was still in the lower realms, a master at the prefecture level could shock many people, and a sage could control a country.

Compared with the prosperity of cultivation in the upper realm, the cultivation resources in the lower realm are extremely poor.

She couldn't help but think back to the time when Su Zhiyao, the owner of the Embroidered Girl Workshop, competed with her for the way of embroidery. Presumably, the competition in the upper realm was too fierce, so the other party turned to the lower realm to find a new way.

She just let this thought go, and then continued to worry about the fact that the number of enlightened people in her family was not up to standard.

Originally, she also thought about whether to absorb that clear-eyed dao demon Lu Ming into her sect, but the other party was still a foreign race, so she had to let go of this thought.

The old man carrying the calico bag that I met in the valley that day had extraordinary means, and there may be some origins behind it.

But these outsiders can't think about it, so now she has only one way to go, and that is to find a way to "borrow" three enlightened people.

Now that she has made up her mind to "borrow" someone, Mu Lian has to go out for a walk.

She left her small building and came to the old locust tree outside the door. With a breeze blowing by, her figure disappeared in the same place in a blink of an eye.

In Wushuang City, located below the Tianxia Wushuang faction, it was a scorching summer day.

The big sun in the sky in the afternoon was like a stove hanging upside down in the sky, throwing countless hot charcoal fires on the earth, as if all the people on the earth were roasted on the stove.

After noon, there were very few pedestrians on the street.

People mostly hid at home or hid in teahouses to avoid the cold.

In this kind of weather, a large bowl of herbal tea with ice is served, and it is extremely refreshing to drink it in one breath to cool down the heart.

At this moment, Mu Lian came to Wushuang City quietly, walked through the streets with few pedestrians, and finally stopped at the entrance of Wantongbao Pavilion branch.

Inside the room, shopkeeper Jia, who was in charge of the Wushuang City branch, was sitting on a large red sandalwood chair, holding herbal tea in one hand, and blowing on the air cooler just launched by Wushuang Shop at the same time, feeling extremely comfortable.

Suddenly, he heard someone coming from outside the door.

When he raised his eyes and saw someone coming, he immediately stood up with a smile and greeted him.

"Hey, what kind of wind is blowing today! Look, who is here!"

Shopkeeper Jia walked up to Mu Lian with a smile and said, "Master Mu, you are really a rare visitor, a rare visitor! Come, come, please come in, please sit inside."

From the day before the spiritual tide broke out, after he and Mu Lian had some unhappiness, he thought that the two parties would be cold for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to the door not long after the spiritual tide passed.

After Mu Lian walked in, he arranged for him to sit down in a VIP seat in a reception hall.

After the maid in the shop brought tea and left, the two began to talk about business.

After listening to Mu Lian's explanation of her intentions, Shopkeeper Jia thought for a while and said, "To tell you the truth, Master Mu, there is indeed a business of 'borrowing people'. Some sects want to improve their own rank, but their own The number of people who meet the requirements of the Daoist Hall's review is not enough, so the idea was put on the position of the elder Ke Qing. After all, Ke Qing is also considered half of his own, if something happens to the sect, the Ke Qing will help. "

Mu Lian listened to him quietly, nodding slightly from time to time.

Shopkeeper Jia said again, "It's hard to find qualified guest officials. These people are usually disciples from big sects, or pure wild casual cultivators who came here by themselves. A guest official can hang on at most Under the name of the two forces, this business is now possible."

Mu Lian finally spoke.

"Treasurer Jia, if I want to invite three guest ministers who have attained Taoism, how much spiritual coins will I have to spend?"

Shopkeeper Jia said with a smile, "The Dao Realm is not too expensive. Some elders of the Dao Realm who are willing to sell their places on my side offer about one thousand gold spirit coins a year. Of course, this is just not The price of the move. If something happens on the way and these guest elders need to take action, they will have to pay additional handling fees."

One thousand gold spirit coins a year?If it is exchanged for copper spirit coins, it will cost 30 in one year, and [-] in three years.

My family just invites three people to name each other, and they don't need each other to do anything, so they have to spend 30 yuan a year. Although this ratio is just a trivial amount in Mu Lian's view, it still surprises her a little.

However, Mu Lian felt relieved when she thought about the low chance of achieving enlightenment and ascension in the lower realm and the fierce competition in the upper realm.After all, even the children of enlightened people cannot be born enlightened, they have to practice step by step, and there must be many people who died halfway.

At least in the Yaoguang area, this enlightened person is not a weed that can be seen anywhere.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to book three people first.

After all his disciples have been promoted successfully, they will buy these three places, and then apply to the Taoist Hall for assessment.

After listening to her plan, Shopkeeper Jia nodded his head without hesitation. How can there be any reason to push out the business that comes to you?
However, he suddenly remembered an order issued by his head office recently, saying that they were asked to find ways to collect high-quality Taoism classics, and those who could find high-quality Taoism classics would be rewarded heavily.

So he asked Mu Lian a few more questions.

"Master Mu, can I ask you what kind of Taoism you practice?"

When Mu Lian came here today, all the aura in her body was restrained, and nothing leaked out.

Even though shopkeeper Jia couldn't tell that she had become a fairy with his eyesight, he could still faintly feel the mysterious aura around her.

Mu Lian took a sip of tea, and immediately put down the cup in her hand.

"It's just ordinary Taoism, it's not worth mentioning."

Shopkeeper Jia let out an "oh", but felt a little suspicious in his heart.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

Back then, when Head Mu brought Wushuang City to this wasteland in the Yaoguang District, he seemed to be a newly ascended Taoist, right?

So how did she kill the enlightened people among the provocative forces such as Jue Shamen?

Could it be that there is really someone tall behind her?
While he was wondering, suddenly a maid outside came to ask him to go out, saying that someone from the Zongge had arrived.

Shopkeeper Jia got up quickly when he heard the words, apologized to Mu Lian, and left in a hurry.

Mu Lian glanced at his leaving back, suddenly a warning sign rose in her heart.

She stretched out her right hand and counted with her fingers.

The moment before her thumb and middle finger came into contact, the whole room was densely covered with causal lines invisible to the naked eye, and each causal line connected different people and things.

From cause to effect, from effect to cause, all conditions are on this line of cause and effect.

The moment Mu Lian's two fingers touched, the line of cause and effect related to today's events happened to fall between her two fingers.

After perceiving the content of this causal line with mana, Mu Lian's face changed slightly.

She immediately stood up, turned around on the spot, and her entire figure disappeared in an instant.

In another living room outside, Shopkeeper Jia is receiving the people from the Zongge who came here unexpectedly today.

After the visitor saw shopkeeper Jia, he immediately took out a document and handed it to the other party, asking the latter to open it for a look.

After reading this document, Shopkeeper Jia's expression suddenly changed.

"Master Mu actually single-handedly killed the eight elders and all disciples of Kun Yuanzong who had reached the Dao Realm? This, how is this possible? She is clearly only at the Dao Realm..."

Having said that, Shopkeeper Jia himself became hoarse.

The person who came followed his words and continued, "If she is really a Daoist, it is naturally impossible. Daoist practitioners of great powers all have Dao artifacts by their side, which is by no means comparable to ordinary casual cultivators. Mu Lian is likely to be Breakthrough to fairyland!"

What he said made shopkeeper Jia suddenly think of something, and he slapped himself on the head suddenly.

"No wonder! No wonder she came to 'borrow someone' to be promoted to the eighth-rank power today. It turns out that she herself has already been promoted to the fairyland! I was only thinking about her borrowing from an enlightened person, but I didn't even think about this one! "

There was a flash of light in the visitor's eyes, "What did you just say? So Mu Lian came here today?"

"Yes, I'm in the waiting room at the other end right now."

"Take me there quickly!"

The headquarters has been looking for high-quality enlightenment methods recently, and has also issued a huge reward.

This woman can be promoted from a Taoist to an immortal in just a few decades, her Taoism practice must be extraordinary!As long as he can capture this woman and send her back to the headquarters, that would be a great achievement!
Shopkeeper Jia, who is in charge of leading the way here, also vaguely sensed that something was wrong. The person from the main pavilion, probably would ask Master Mu to do it, right?
When the two arrived at the door of the living room, the person from the headquarters could not wait to get in, but there was no one in the room, only the tea on the table was still steaming.

"What about people? Didn't you just say that people are here? Where did people go now?"

Shopkeeper Jia, who was scolded and spit on his face by the other party, did not dare to wipe his face at this time, so he could only answer in a low voice, "Maybe there is something, so I will leave first..."

"Hmph! She must have become a fairy, and she ran away first to avoid misfortune and good fortune! But the Wushuang City and the Tianxia Wushuang faction are here, I want to see, she can run away like a monk, or a temple!"

After this person's voice fell, shopkeeper Jia knew that the ominous premonition in his heart had finally come true.

This Wushuang city has not been peaceful for a few days, and I am afraid that something big will happen again!
