Chapter 806: Zhang Shaokang: Golden Immortal

In the entire Honghuang, apart from Laozi, Shennong's level of alchemy is the highest.

However, Shennong is different from Laozi.

Laozi is an Innate Saint, possessing at least the cultivation of a Golden Immortal at birth; thus, the medicinal herbs for the pills Laozi refines are at minimum Immortal Medicine, and his understanding of Immortal Medicine is the deepest.

But Shennong is of the Human Race, rising from humble beginnings; he once tasted the hundred herbs and wrote the "Book of Hundred Herbs," so he has a deeper understanding of herbs below the level of Immortal Medicine, and seventy percent of the pills in the "Shennong Alchemy Canon" are below the level of Immortal Pill.

Of course, the "Shennong Alchemy Canon" also contains many Immortal Dao pill formulas, and the number of formulas is even far greater than that in Zhunti Daoren's "Alchemy Compendium," covering all kinds of Immortal Pills.

What the Yellow Emperor passed down is equally all-encompassing.

In addition to the internal and external chapters of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," there are the "Yin Mansion Sutra," "Xuanyuan Sword Canon," "Longshou Sutra," "Qimen Dunjia," and so on; among them, the "Yin Mansion Sutra" discusses military strategy and battle formations;

The "Longshou Sutra" covers Feng Shui and array formations, especially large Feng Shui arrays related to National Fortune.

As for the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," the internal chapters are methods for Immortal cultivation, which is what Yin Qi has obtained, while the external chapters are medicine and alchemy; however, the most essential part is the medical section, which provides an extremely profound exposition of the human body.

Besides this, there are a vast number of divine arts and secret techniques, and of course, there is also the section on the Cultivation of Hundred Professions.

One must know that the Xuanyuan Sword and Zhentian Bow forged by the Yellow Emperor are, one a Post-Heaven Supreme Treasure and the other an Extreme Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, which shows the brilliance of the Yellow Emperor's artifact refining skills.

It can be said that the Cultivation of Hundred Professions he currently masters has already reached the Quasi-Saint level.

Basically, it is already at the peak of the Primordial World.

As for the unique arts and secret techniques, there is no telling how many there are; they would certainly not be inferior to the scripture repositories of All Sects.

Human Emperor Group.

Yin Qi: Many thanks to the three Saint Emperors; this junior will surely choose the right person to pass the inheritance down.

Fuxi: It is a pity that we are trapped in Fire Cloud Cave and cannot get out; we can neither help you nor summon our former subordinates, otherwise your handling of the Fengshen War would be easier.

Yin Qi: Three Saint Emperors, how many of your former subordinates are there now, and what is their approximate cultivation?

Fuxi: My former subordinates who are in seclusion in Honghuang are not many, estimated to be over ten people; one is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the others are all Golden Immortals.

Shennong: My former subordinates also number over ten, all of whom are Golden Immortals.

Yellow Emperor: My former subordinates number thirty; two are Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the others are all Golden Immortals.

Yin Qi was also shocked.

It seems the Human Race is not without strong individuals; they are just all silently in seclusion.

For the Fengshen War, Yin Qi has long had a plan, which is to let the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect fight each other; therefore, he needs to hide his strength during this period and cannot issue a call to arms under the banner of the Three Sovereigns.

But after the Fengshen War, when the Saints are forbidden from entering Honghuang, he will be able to let go and act freely.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi sent a message: Three Saint Emperors, this junior already has a plan for the Fengshen War, and self-preservation is not a concern. This junior wishes to go to Fire Cloud Cave to pay respects to the three seniors after the Fengshen War, and then call upon the former subordinates in the name of the three seniors.

Fuxi: That is not impossible, but with such a grand display, have you thought about how to deal with the various Saints?

Shennong: We know you have great ambitions, but the various Saints will not watch the Human Race unify. According to our estimation, when the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty expands its territory to ten trillion li in the future, it must stop expanding to avoid stimulating the various Saints.

Yin Qi: Understood, this junior knows.

Some trump cards cannot be exposed yet, and some things cannot be said; Yin Qi could only prevaricate.

Subsequently, he chatted with the Three Sovereigns for a long time, mainly introducing the current situation of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty to them, which made the Three Sovereigns even more shocked and impressed by Yin Qi.

That Yin Qi, with the body of a mere mortal, could develop the Great Shang to this extent is simply unimaginable.

Finally, it was Yin Qi who said someone had come to see him, which ended the chat.

"Great King!"

Zhang Shaokang strode in, his expression excited, and he bowed deeply.

"Good!"

Yin Qi smiled happily: "Rise quickly; it seems you have already achieved the Golden Immortal realm."

Counting the time, Zhang Shaokang had been in seclusion in the Inner Heaven and Earth for over fifty years, which is not a short time.

One must know that Longji Gongzhu only used three years.

However, Zhang Shaokang's aptitude and comprehension certainly cannot be compared to Longji Gongzhu, and Longji Gongzhu broke through on her own, while Zhang Shaokang relied entirely on pills to force his way up. It is just that the efficacy of the Golden Core and Evolution Liquid was perfect, leaving Zhang Shaokang without any sequelae.

In terms of foundation and roots, he is no worse than other Golden Immortals.

It is just that his combat power and experience, because he is too young, are far from comparable to other Golden Immortals.

But a Golden Immortal is a Golden Immortal.

Against Mysterious Immortals, one slap can wipe out a large group.

Zhang Shaokang said gratefully: "Yes, Great King, this subject has already achieved the Golden Immortal realm; this is all thanks to the Great King's gift of the pill. Great King, I have already learned of the National Teacher's matter; should this subject head to Sishui Pass?"

Speaking to the end, his expression became heavy again.

As the Hall Master of the Martial Hall, he knows even better the significance of the National Teacher's Yang Spirit to the Great Shang.

Yin Qi waved his hand: "If not for the support of the Chan Sect, Xiqi would be nothing but a clown, no need to worry. As for the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect will deal with them; we do not need to intervene.

Your task is to lead the Martial Hall to continue the conquest abroad.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

Leave a clone in Zhaoge, and let your true body use an alias, appearing as a guest of the Martial Hall.

If you encounter forces of the Jie Sect, retreat for the time being.

If you encounter forces of the Chan Sect, disguise yourself as the Jie Sect and wipe them all out."

"Yes, Great King."

Regarding Yin Qi's arrangement, although Zhang Shaokang was puzzled, he respectfully accepted the order.

Although he is already a Golden Immortal and the Great King is only a mortal of the Heaven Realm, he could not produce even a shred of disloyalty, or even a thought of disrespect; he remained respectful and loyal.

Firstly, he is a loyal person;

Secondly, he also knows that the Great King possesses many secrets.

Since the Great King could cultivate him, who knows if there are other Golden Immortals cultivated in secret.

Yin Qi asked: "How many disciples does the Secret Hall have now, how many have entered the Time Mijing to cultivate, and what is the situation?"

Zhang Shaokang replied, "Your subject has been busy with secluded cultivation. There are not yet a hundred disciples in the Secret Hall, but they are all already training in the Time Mijing. They have made great progress; basically, they have all cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and there are also twelve Mysterious Immortals."

Yin Qi nodded, "The Secret Hall has no upper limit on the number of people, but the prerequisite is that they must be loyal. Even if their aptitude and comprehension are a bit lacking, it does not matter... Hmm..."

He suddenly frowned and turned his head sharply to look outside.

Just a moment ago, he felt as if someone were spying on him, yet it also seemed as if they were not.

Could it be an illusion?

No, it could not be an illusion!

With his cultivation at Peak Great Luo, it was basically impossible for him to have an illusion.

That even he almost failed to notice it meant the person who came was above Great Luo. Could it be a Quasi-Saint, or even a Saint?

Yin Qi was secretly vigilant.

It was not as if there were no precedents for a Saint descending upon Zhaoge.

Previously, Zhunti Daoren had stayed in Zhaoge for a long time; if he had not taken the initiative to appear and block his path, he certainly would not have discovered him either.

Zhang Shaokang asked hurriedly, "What is the matter, Great King?"

Yin Qi smiled gently and said calmly, "It is nothing, just that my neck suddenly felt a bit sore. Very well, just do as I said, you may withdraw first."

Zhang Shaokang said with concern, "Although state affairs are important, the Great King must still prioritize his health."

Yin Qi nodded and said, "Hmm, I am aware."

"Then your subject will take his leave."

Zhang Shaokang bowed slightly, then turned and left. (End of this chapter)
