Chapter 699: Minimum Requirements
The Emperor Dongxuan Dao Palace is not only the highest cultivation academy in the entire Emperor Dongxuan Star Domain, but also the highest governing body.
The internal power structure is relatively simple, and after layer-by-layer branching, there are thousands of institutions.
But the main power institutions are the Six Halls, One Palace, and One Division: Rites, Personnel, Household, Military, Justice, and Works are the Six Halls; the One Palace is the Daoist Palace, where all Daoists live; and the One Division is the Star Patrol Division.
Except for the Daoist Palace, which is personally managed by True Person Commander Tian Zhang, most of the other halls and divisions are headed by Star Lords.
What Xu Jin is facing now is the Tianyang Xingjun Liu Gaoyang, who is in charge of the Spirit Resource Mansion of the Daoist Palace.
Normally, Daoists come to collect their treatment, and the various departments under the Spirit Resource Mansion can handle it.
However, Daoists are the future cultivation hope of the entire Emperor Dongxuan Star Realm, and because it is known that every time the Daoist ranking battle ends, most Daoists will come to collect cultivation resources at the first opportunity.
So Liu Gaoyang personally came out to receive each Daoist, which can be considered as getting familiar.
However, the Daoists who can be personally received by Liu Gaoyang are usually only those who enjoy fourth-rank treatment and above, who are qualified to be personally received by Tianyang Xingjun Liu Gaoyang.
"Daoist Xu, please this way, Tianyang Xingjun Liu will come personally to handle it for you later." An eighth-tier deacon led Xu Jin to a reception room.
And Xu Jin, looking at Tianyang Xingjun Liu Gaoyang, who was bowing and respectfully welcoming Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen, was thoughtful.
This guy Zhu Shizhen can also be considered lucky.
Determined as the heir early on, he eventually obtained fifth-rank treatment.
But the merit he made when killing the Mother Gu during the selection allowed his Daoist treatment to be increased by one rank.
Now he enjoys fourth-rank Daoist treatment.
It can be considered that he mixed in an opportunity to contemplate the True Person's Blood Crystal, which can be called a bloody profit.
At this time, he was naturally grinning from ear to ear.
The gold content of Xu Jin's decision to give the merit of killing the Mother Gu to him was still rising.
It was a pity that Lu Zhen of the True Person Bixuan Mansion was not there; if he were, his nose would be crooked with anger.
He fought desperately, was injured three times, and eventually only mixed in a fourth-rank treatment.
This guy Zhu Shizhen watched the show for a long time, fought a few matches casually, and even had a bye, eventually mixing in a fourth-rank Daoist treatment.
If you look at it from a god's perspective, it really feels like a child of luck.
However, what Xu Jin noticed was the respectful attitude of Tianyang Xingjun Liu Gaoyang towards Zhu Shizhen.
It made Xu Jin understand that the Yutang True Person Mansion should still have some influence, not as bad as imagined, especially in front of ordinary Star Lords.
After waiting for about half a quarter-hour, Tianyang Xingjun Liu Gaoyang, who was in charge of the Spirit Resource Mansion, walked in with a smile, followed by a deacon holding a pile of jade boxes.
"Greetings, Tianyang Xingjun Liu."
"Sit down, sit down."
Xu Jin paid his respects, but this Tianyang Xingjun Liu was full of enthusiasm, let Xu Jin sit down at the first opportunity, and then pushed a pile of jade boxes in front of Xu Jin.
"Daoist Xu, please count them. These are the cultivation resources you deserve this year, and I have brought them all for you." Liu Gaoyang said.
"Thank you for your trouble, Tianyang Xingjun."
Involving his own cultivation resources, and a wealth that could be called astonishing, Xu Jin naturally opened and inspected them one by one, and then placed a seal again.
Sixty Seven-Star Profound Yellow Pills in six bottles, settled in one go.
Five bottles of Universe Star Dew, one drop per bottle, all given.
One and a half bottles of Green Lotus Moon Brilliance Pills, sixteen in total, cleared.
After the inspection, Xu Jin showed a look of doubt and looked at Liu Gaoyang, "Tianyang Xingjun, what about the others? Or rather, how to collect other Daoist treatments."
Hearing this, Liu Gaoyang laughed, took out a jade tablet and handed it to Xu Jin, "Daoist Xu, please place your star power imprint on the materials already collected, so I can report back, and then talk about the others in detail."
After Xu Jin did it one by one, he looked at Liu Gaoyang.
But what he wanted to get most was the opportunity to contemplate the True Person's Blood Crystal and the opportunity to contemplate the Emperor's Dao Rule Secret Realm.
But now it seems that although this treatment exists, it cannot be obtained immediately.
"Daoist Xu, the remaining rewards are not physical rewards, but each is more significant than the other, and the rules are different. Daoist Xu can listen to me in detail.
First is the Law Heavenly Road. The Law Heavenly Road of the Dao Palace is a public instrument, jointly managed by the True Persons, but the True Persons are very busy and cannot open the Law Heavenly Road for you at any time.
So there are rules, and most people only have one or two opportunities.
Generally speaking, the last three days of the end of June and the end of December are the times when the True Persons open the Law Heavenly Road. At that time, you will be notified in advance. It is best not to go out these few days.
Of course, Daoist Xu has a total of three opportunities. For this third time, Daoist Xu can directly contact the True Person to determine the time, or our Spirit Resource Mansion can come forward to contact the True Person and communicate to determine the time.
Daoist Xu, how do you arrange it?" After asking, Liu Gaoyang looked at Xu Jin, his eyes a bit expectant.
"I will contact the True Person myself to communicate the time." Xu Jin also had his own ideas, so he gave this answer.
"Okay."
Liu Gaoyang nodded slightly, his face calm, but he remembered this point.
Xu Jin is quite close to True Person Commander Tian Zhang, even quite intimate.
True Persons are high above.
Especially True Person Commander Tian Zhang, in the Emperor Dongxuan Star Realm, one word can make a clan flourish, and one word can decide a person's life or death. Even he, a Tianyang Xingjun, dare not disturb True Person Commander Tian Zhang casually. When occasionally sending a star light message to ask for instructions or report, he has to weigh his words.
And this Xu Jin, doesn't look like a fool, so the relationship with the True Person...
In the future, he must pay special attention to or even... take care of him.
"Let's talk about the Star River Isolated Island Secret Realm for Dao comprehension, a total of fifteen days. When Daoist Xu wants to go for comprehension, you can come directly to the Spirit Resource Mansion to find me, and I will start the teleportation array to send you there.
In principle, it is required to be consumed at one time. After all, opening the teleportation array consumes a lot of star power.
Of course, if Daoist Xu has special circumstances, it is also possible to divide it into two or three times. At that time, it depends on Daoist Xu's wishes." Liu Gaoyang said.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Tianyang Xingjun Liu."
"Daoist Xu is too polite."
Liu Gaoyang bowed his hands and continued, "Let's talk about the opportunity to contemplate the True Person's Blood Crystal and the Emperor's Dao Rule Secret Realm, a total of two times within ten years.
But Daoists must know that whether it is the contemplation of the True Person's Blood Crystal or the Emperor's Dao Rule Secret Realm, they are all incomparably precious. To prevent waste, the True Person Central Conference has decided that the cultivation must reach the peak of the ninth tier and touch the threshold of practicing the Dao before one can apply for the opportunity to contemplate the True Person's Blood Crystal, with an interval of one year between each contemplation.
"Minimum requirements?" Xu Jin was somewhat puzzled.
"Yes. Whether it is the True Person's Dao-Proving Blood Crystal or the Emperor's Dao Principle Secret Realm, both are incomparably precious. To prevent waste, the True Person Central Conference has decided that one's cultivation must reach the Ninth Tier peak and touch the threshold of the Dao-Manifestation before one can apply for the opportunity to contemplate the True Person's Dao-Proving Blood Crystal. The interval between each contemplation is one year."
The opportunity to contemplate the Emperor's Dao Rule Secret Realm requires successful practicing of the Dao and a breakthrough to the tenth-tier Small Tianyang Xingjun before one can apply, and the interval between each contemplation must not be less than one year." Liu Gaoyang said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Jin's expression changed slightly. This rule was too unfriendly to him.
Breaking through to the peak of the ninth tier and the tenth-tier Small Tianyang Xingjun within ten years was still very difficult.
Not to mention the difficulty of comprehending the Dao, just the accumulation of star power required a lot of time.
He frowned and asked, "Tianyang Xingjun Liu, is this rule mandatory?
In addition, according to this requirement, it will take at least three years to use up the four opportunities. Is this three-year period within the ten years of my Daoist tenure?"
"Daoist Xu, this is exactly the key point I want to tell you today.
Daoists should know that the enjoyment period of the Daoist identity treatment is only ten years.
Most geniuses with high talent can reach the peak of the ninth tier or even break through to Small Tianyang Xingjun within ten years, and this reward can naturally be collected without hindrance. But for Daoist Xu, with top-notch talent, you obtained first-rank treatment with an early eighth-tier cultivation.
This is the first case in the history of our Emperor Dongxuan Dao Palace, but there are precedents for eighth-tier ones.
For example, the peerless genius Guan Zhen thirty years ago obtained first-rank Daoist treatment with a late eighth-tier cultivation.
His choice at that time was to slightly control the progress of his cultivation, and within ten years, his cultivation would not break through to the late ninth tier. At that time, without having to participate in the Daoist selection again, the Dao Palace would directly extend his Daoist identity for ten years, and the first-rank Daoist treatment would also be extended for ten years.
Now his cultivation has broken through to Great Tianyang Xingjun, and there is hope for True Person in the future.
My personal suggestion is that Daoist Xu can take this path!" Liu Gaoyang said, "Not to mention anything else, getting ten more years of Seven-Star Profound Yellow Pills, Universe Star Dew, and Green Lotus Moon Brilliance Pills is more cost-effective.
After all, even an ordinary Tianyang Xingjun mansion cannot afford first-rank Daoist treatment, especially Universe Star Dew.
To tell you the truth, I, a Tianyang Xingjun, only have five drops of Universe Star Dew a year.
My status as a Town Tianyang Xingjun has a quota of three drops per year, and I, the head of the Spirit Resource Mansion, have two drops per year as an annual salary." Liu Gaoyang said with a bitter smile.
"So little?"
"It's not little at all, one drop is worth half a month of my hard cultivation."
Xu Jin's brows were tightly furrowed. Liu Gaoyang's path was not a bad method.
He could also fleece the wool of the Emperor Dongxuan Star Realm along the way.
But Xu Jin felt that the time span was too long.
Twenty years!
He had only been cultivating for a few years!
And he had to control the speed of his cultivation, and he must be stuck at the late ninth tier after ten years, absolutely not exceeding it.
"Tianyang Xingjun Liu, are there any other methods?" Xu Jin asked.
"In principle, there are none, but in reality, there can be." Liu Gaoyang said.
"How so?"
"If you reach the threshold of practicing the Dao, or succeed in practicing the Dao, like Daoist Yuan Chengfa, you can apply for special approval. Generally speaking, the True Person Central Conference will approve it.
Well, just now, Daoist Yuan Chengfa has already applied for special approval to contemplate the Dao-Proving Blood Crystal." Liu Gaoyang said.
"Has it been approved?" Xu Jin asked.
"It definitely won't be that fast! The True Person Central Conference is once a month, and this month's is still early." Liu Gaoming said.
"Understood, thank you for the reminder."
After Xu Jin bowed to thank him, as he stood up, his brows furrowed slightly.
He originally thought that after obtaining the treatment, he could immediately obtain the opportunity to contemplate the True Person's Blood Crystal and the Emperor's Dao Rule Secret Realm. He did not expect that there were so many rules and regulations.
Others were easy to say, and even in terms of practicing the Dao, Xu Jin had confidence.
But the breakthrough of cultivation required time.
At the same time, Xu Jin also had to complete the first step of body refining at the eighth tier.
Within seven years, reaching the peak of the ninth tier or even breaking through to Small Tianyang Xingjun, the difficulty became very great.
Liu Gaoyang was in charge of the Spirit Resource Mansion, and his knowledge was extraordinary. He saw many problems just from the changes in Xu Jin's expression.
Before Xu Jin left, Liu Gaoyang suddenly said, "Daoist Xu, there is one thing, allow me to say one more word."
"Tianyang Xingjun Liu, please speak."
"Daoist Xu, you enjoy first-rank Daoist treatment, and your performance in the Daoist ranking battle was extremely bright. If you want to improve your cultivation quickly and are short of cultivation resources, you can advance one year's cultivation resources from our Spirit Resource Mansion in advance.
Of course, this is on the premise that I, Liu, am in charge of the Spirit Resource Mansion." Liu Gaoyang said.
Xu Jin was happy when he heard this, and thanked Liu Gaoyang again before leaving.
Looking at Xu Jin's back as he left, Liu Gaoyang was full of smiles.
Regardless of whether he would advance it in the future or not, a good relationship had been established here.
He had established many such good relationships.
There were hundreds of them.
In the future, as long as one or two could become True Persons.
That would be a business with ten thousand times the profit.
The friendship with True Person powerhouses could not be measured by value at all.
Coming out of the Spirit Resource Mansion, Xu Jin headed straight for his Daoist mansion.
The Daoist mansion ranking also followed the Daoist sequence, which was the superior Daoist mansion numbered three.
Daoist mansion specifications were divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.
Even an inferior Daoist mansion was a two-courtyard mansion.
And a superior Daoist mansion was a four-courtyard mansion, with over a hundred rooms of various sizes, covering an area of over ten acres.
This aspect was luxurious enough.
It was big enough, but it was a bit troublesome to take care of.
When Xu Jin arrived, there were only two eighth-tier Dao Palace guards, and no one else. The huge mansion looked empty, but it was not bad, winning in quietness.
"I want to cultivate, don't disturb me."
After giving a casual instruction, Xu Jin couldn't wait to find a room, and while letting the Little White Tiger guard, he started cultivating at the first opportunity.
Although he already knew the effect of the pills issued by the Dao Palace.
But only after experiencing it himself could he know the specific efficacy, and then make a cultivation plan!
At the first opportunity, Xu Jin first swallowed a Seven-Star Profound Yellow Pill.
This was a relatively high-level and precious pill of the Emperor Dongxuan Dao Palace.
Once the pill entered his abdomen, it turned into rolling star power and dispersed. At the same time, Xu Jin triggered the star light of his natal star to fall, and began to cast the Zhai Xing Lou.
As soon as he started casting the Zhai Xing Lou, Xu Jin suddenly remembered the matter of splitting the tower.
Whether to split the tower or not, and the benefits of splitting the tower, Xu Jin also planned to ask his master, Emperor Fenghua.
But now there was one more person to ask: True Person Commander Tian Zhang!
Friendship is made through trouble!
The less you trouble the other party, the less friendship you have.
Just like between True Person Commander Tian Zhang and Xu Jin, there was no friendship, True Person Commander Tian Zhang suddenly asked Xu Jin to throw a match, didn't that create friendship?
Coming and going, as long as the favor is not consumed at once, or the value is not lost directly, the friendship will become deeper and deeper.
Thinking about it, while cultivating, Xu Jin used the Emperor Dongxuan Token to earnestly ask True Person Commander Tian Zhang about the pros and cons of splitting the tower.
He did not directly ask whether to split the tower or not, but asked about the pros and cons of splitting the tower and its long-term impact on the future Dao path and combat strength.
The questions asked could not be too simple and straightforward.
Otherwise, it would be easily seen through!
Before long, Xu Jin received a star light message from True Person Commander Tian Zhang.
