After reading the credibility of Songfan, Zhao Ran went back and checked the credibility of each province and found that after a low point of 23 or 24 years, the credibility of Ming Dynasty finally stabilized, and there was a slight increase. The momentum has reached a value of 1.23 billion Gui.
This growth is slightly inconsistent with Zhao Ran's expectations. According to his assumption, the 25th year of Jiajing was the year when the policy of monks serving as abbots was implemented on a large scale. More than two hundred county monasteries replaced monks and abbots. Assuming that each The county's increase of 50,000 guinea should have increased by more than 10 million guinea compared to last year, but in fact it only increased by 5 million guinea.
However, considering that this is the first year, Zhao Ran can understand that not every county abbot has received training like Songfan. For example, Zheng, Cao, and Zhuang took office very smoothly. Growth approaching 100,000 guine is unlikely to occur elsewhere, and everything takes time.
Overall, Zhao Ran can breathe a sigh of relief if he can reverse the downward trend. He believes that when the 1,400 counties achieve full coverage of monks and abbots, the power of Daming will be raised to the level of 1.5 billion Gui. You can look forward to it.
After the Lantern Festival, Baima Court took turns to rest as usual. Yuan Hao took charge of the affairs for the second half of the month. It was the turn of Zhao Ran and other Taoist priests to take a break.
After a brief handover with Yuan Hao, he was about to ask Taoist Nangui who was resting with half-closed eyes on the bell tower to leave, but he saw Yuan Hao giving him a deep salute: "Abbot Duocheng takes care of Quanzi, and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I can only show my respect here."
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, could it be that when the Zongsheng Hall conducted a large-scale search for disciples last month, Yuan Hao's son was picked away? Recalling it again, it seemed that there was indeed a child named Yuan. It was the silly goose Luo Zhiqing brought back to Dajun Mountain who would often fall into inexplicable deep thoughts, so that he was always confused about what was happening in front of him.
There were more disciples selected this time, a total of twenty-four with all the qualifications and those with no qualifications, so Zhao Ran hadn't had time to record them one by one in detail. In addition, the first month was really busy with affairs, so he didn't know this. The child named Yuan is actually the son of Yuan Hao. It was really an oversight.
"But since you have accepted someone's own son as a disciple, it's hard to admit that you don't know and say something like, "Oh, so that's your son." Then how can people trust you to hand over the child to you?
Then he said: "It's true that the tiger father has no son. The child's qualifications are extremely good. Originally, I planned to accept him as a disciple. However, my senior brother Luo liked him very much and insisted on teaching him personally, so I had no choice but to bear the pain and part with him." Yes, haha."
Afraid that Yuan Hao would be worried, he added: "You don't know the abilities of my senior brother Luo. He is a well-known high-level cultivator in the entire Sichuan Province. He is more than a little bit better than me in practice. He has extremely high vision. He has never done it before. When I meet someone I like, I never thought that I would be so interested in this child. Tsk tskOld Yuan, speaking of which, I would also like to thank you, the Yuan family, for providing Lou Guan with such talent and beauty. This is also the blessing of my master!"
Yuan Hao couldn't close his mouth after talking, and he just giggled.
After bidding farewell to Yuan Hao, Zhao Ran returned to Dajun Cave to take a rest in heaven. This period of the year is the main day for him to practice. Since he once again took the Black Armored Turtle Essence and Blood Decoction that Cai Yunshen helped to refine, his essence has increased a lot, and he can be said to be a dragon and a tiger, which has exceeded the level of a normal monk.
Because a black-armored turtle was captured alive this time, everyone in the Louguan sect has benefited. Including Qu Fenghe, their respective essences have increased to a certain extent, which is extremely helpful for practice.
But Cai Yunshen also warned Zhao Ran that the supplement of Jingyuan should be just enough. Taoism emphasizes letting nature take its course. Of course, too little is not enough, and too much is not enough. Too much essence is generated, and if it is not used up in practice and remains in the body for too long, it will become a poison to the body. Others said it was okay, but Zhao Ran had replenished it several times, and the black turtle essence and blood alone had been replenished twice. Cai Yunshen was very worried about his physical condition.
Fortunately, Zhao Ran now has 200,000 people from Guyang County and Hongyuan County to continuously provide him with merit power, so he does not have to worry about running out of the essence generated every day, even if the merit power golden elixir cannot be used up. It can also be consumed when cultivating the spiritual power elixir, so there is no need to worry about it at all - he is still in the Huangguan realm in spiritual power cultivation, and is eager for the essence to be refined.
It is a pity that the cultivation of spiritual power cannot be automatically absorbed into the sea of ????qi like merit power, and it requires time to meditate and absorb. Otherwise, Zhao Ran's spiritual power elixir would have been promoted to a spiritual power golden elixir long ago.
Therefore, Zhao Ran was not worried about having too much energy and begged Cai Yunshen twice in succession. It was not until Cai Yunshen sternly rejected his third request, stating that he was "seeking death" that he finally gave up.
After taking the Xuanjia Turtle Essence and Blood Decoction twice in a row, Zhao Ran generated 168 drops of essence every day. This amount is already at the level of a monk above the refiner level. According toWhat Yun Shen said was far beyond the physical load of his current Jindan cultivation.
After finishing taking the medicine, Cai Yunshen asked Zhao Ran how he felt for many days and personally checked Zhao Ran's bed and bedding every morning for fear that Zhao Ran would "leak the pill". Zhao Ran couldn't laugh or cry about this, but he felt Uncle Cai's concern, which moved him very much.
Zhao Ran is a golden elixir that was obtained in September of the 23rd year of Jiajing. It has been more than two years since he polished the golden elixir. However, there is a big difference between the golden elixir and the elixir fetus. The cultivation of the elixir fetus is relatively easy to predict. How long it will take to reach perfection is unclear. It can be observed internally, but the polishing of the golden elixir is different. How to polish the elixir to be pure, how to call the elixir round and smooth, and when to achieve the elixir to be in harmony with one's destiny, until that moment, there is no way to understand. So Zhao Ran didn't know how many more years it would take for him to develop his spiritual consciousness. The only thing he could do was to keep absorbing, refining, and polishing it again and again.
In the second half of the first month, Zhao Ran spent his time constantly refining the massive amount of merit power and polishing the golden elixir. Of course, the cultivation of merit power is the most time-saving. It does not take much effort on his part, and there is only a little left every day. Jingyuan is used to absorb spiritual power and cultivate spiritual power. After the essence is used up, he will go to Xixin Pavilion to sit quietly, or give Qu Fenghe some advice.
As for the two disciples Feng Tang and Qu Fengshan, they have just started. Because their teacher Wei Zhizhen is irresponsible, Yu Zhichuan has been teaching them for the past two months, while Luo Zhiqing is also training his Yuan disciples in the back mountain.
As for whether Yu Zhichuan and Luo Zhiqing can train their disciples, Zhao Ran doesn't worry about it. The master leads them in. The practice is personal. There is not much to worry about in the process of leading them in. The key lies in answering questions and solving doubts, as well as the special skills of Lou Guan after the golden elixir. Law. In the early days of Huangguan, the practice of all sects in the world was actually similar.
Therefore, Zhao Ran really let Zhao Ran practice quietly for half a month, and he felt that he had gained a lot.
