The Tianshu Sword has a blade length of three feet and three inches, a handle length of seven inches, a lotus-shaped guard, and a blade that is entirely dark blue. It weighs twenty-one pounds.
Quan Zhiguang pointed to the sword and said, "This sword is forged from meteorite iron and has been blessed by generations of sword cultivators. It has developed a spiritual nature and is Sixth Rank treasure sword."
"The sword is imbued with the Northern Dipper Tianshu Devil-Slaying Sword Talisman, greatly enhancing its power to slay demons and eliminate evil. It can also break through protective qi, making it truly extraordinary."
Zhou Wuji grasped the Tianshu Sword, he immediately knew its true nature.
It is indeed a fine sword, of excellent quality, far surpassing the White Rainbow Sword. However, it is far inferior to the Sky Silk Sword.
The difference in grade between the two swords is quite obvious.
Zhou Wuji was satisfied, after all, it was a free sword, and he couldn't ask for anything more.
He immediately gripped his sword and declared, "Many thanks to all the elders of this academy, and especially Zhiguang Elder Zhiguang. This disciple will not fail this sword, nor will I fail this sect—"
Quan Zhiguang stroked his beard and smiled, quite satisfied with Zhou Wuji's statement.
In just over a year, Zhou Wuji's name had spread throughout the entire academy.
While Zhou Wuji's slaying of the barbarians was indeed a great achievement, this court believes that the story has been somewhat exaggerated.
Given Xie Lingyun's close relationship with Zhou Wuji, it's understandable that he would sing a few words of praise for her.
For our sect, the Water Mirror Transmission Method Zhou Wuji is the most important method related to the inheritance of our sect.
Our hospital has also tried it in various places, and it can be said that the results were immediate and remarkable.
This time, Zhou Wuji was granted the Third Rank True Person by imperial decree. Regardless of their personal motives, the elders of each branch of this academy must give Zhou Wuji a generous reward.
A Sixth Rank sword is quite worthy of this True Person Hongde.
Quan Zhiguang was even Quan Zhiguang gratified to see Zhou Wuji in person. This young Daoist was handsome and refined, and in terms of appearance and demeanor alone, he far surpassed several geniuses in the academy.
What's even more remarkable is that Zhou Wuji, despite his achievements, is humble and gentle, speaks tactfully, and is a pleasure to be around.
Those geniuses in our academy are all arrogant and conceited. They certainly have the skills, but their tempers far outweigh their abilities.
It's normal for young people to be arrogant when they achieve success at a young age. In comparison, Zhou Wuji seems abnormal.
That's why Quan Zhiguang found Zhou Wuji more and more pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Wuji had dinner with Quan Zhiguang and was quite pleased with the old man.
After the meal, Zhou Wuji gave some local specialties and spiritual items as gifts. They weren't particularly valuable, but they were mainly to express his goodwill.
Quan Zhiguang was even happier. The gift itself wasn't the main point; what was truly remarkable was Zhou Wuji's respect for him and his excellent manners in social interactions.
experienced.
The most important thing in sect affairs is to straighten out personnel relationships, Quan Zhiguang is very optimistic about Zhou Wuji's future.
Although this person lacks connections and powerful backing, his abilities are outstanding. He's worth winning over in advance.
One deliberately befriended the other, and the other intentionally courted them; it was as if they had known each other for a long time.
The next day, when Quan Zhiguang left, Zhou Wuji saw him off to the dock, and the old man and the young man held hands and said goodbye.
Only after Yunfan had sailed far away did Zhou Wuji return to the Upper Court with Yang Tie Ying.
Although there were some onlookers at the dock, no one dared to approach and speak rashly.
Third Rank True Person, bestowed by imperial decree, is on par with a prefect in terms of rank. Even though their actual power differs drastically, in the eyes of ordinary people, Third Rank True Person Qi Ingestion a life of ease and comfort, far beyond the reach of a prefect.
Not to mention Zhou Wuji's immense reputation; everyone in Chunan knows him, he's truly a reincarnation of an immortal.
Who would dare to be disrespectful to such a person?
Wherever Zhou Wuji went, some people even knelt down and kowtowed. This made Zhou Wuji somewhat uncomfortable.
He knew that making the other person stand up would be useless and would only frighten them. So he casually activated Rejuvenation Spirit Technique to relieve some of the dockworkers' physical ailments.
The laborers appeared strong, but the excessive exertion left them riddled with illnesses.
The Rejuvenation Spirit Technique consumes very little life essence, yet it can restore a laborer's health; it's a worthwhile trade.
After Zhou Wuji left, the kneeling laborer felt his body heat up and full of energy, and his back pain and leg pain seemed to disappear without any medicine.
The laborers found it all very strange, which further convinced them that Zhou Wuji was an immortal descended to earth. They knelt down and kowtowed again to thank the immortal for his magic.
The laborers who benefited from this began to diligently spread the word about the Immortal Method of True Person Hongde.
Zhou Wuji had no idea what the laborers were up to, but he noticed the unusual amount of attention the public was paying to him.
After this period of build-up, his reputation is at its peak.
In the words of his previous life, he now possesses the highest traffic. From a normal business perspective, he should be considering monetizing that traffic at this point.
For example, he could make a fortune selling pills now. However, he's not exactly short of money, and making money this way would only damage his reputation.
In the short term, it may not be a big deal, but as time goes on and the public realizes the situation, its reputation will still be affected.
Zhou Wuji had already made up his mind upon returning to the Upper Court. He was preparing to go find Abbot True Person Zhiyun when Yang Tie Ying muttered beside him, "Master, are you and that old Daoist priest really that close?"
They even held hands and talked for a long time----
Zhou Wuji raised his white jade whisk and flicked it on Yang Tie Ying's head. "Being adept at human relationships is like writing an essay; you should learn from this, kid!"
Yang Tie Ying was beaten until he was grimacing, but for some reason, he felt a sense of relief. Yes, that was the familiar feeling—
--My master really does love me the most----
Although Zhou Wuji was intelligent, he couldn't quite understand what his apprentice was thinking.
"Mastering human relationships is the essence of literature"—this saying holds some truth.
The elegantly dressed True Person Zhihua entered from outside, smiling as she said, " True Person Hongde, you truly possess great wisdom and virtue!"
"His Majesty's vision is astute; he saw this long ago." Zhou Wuji was very familiar with True Person Zhihua, and when the other party joked, he returned the joke with a few words of banter.
True Person Zhihua laughed heartily, "It has to be you. The other juniors are really boring."
Seeing his master and True Person Zhihua chatting and laughing, Yang Tie Ying hurriedly bowed and left.
He wasn't afraid of his master, but he was genuinely afraid of True Person Zhihua, even though this man always seemed to be smiling.
True Person Zhihua suppressed his smile and said, "I have important business with you. I have obtained the academy's treasured sword, and also the Water Mirror Transmission Method..."
I've done you a great job calculating this.
" With Lu Zhijing absent, as the head of the Heavenly Pivot Hall, it's time for you to fulfill your duties."
"Please enlighten me True Person." Zhou Wuji knew this was a serious matter, so he politely cupped his hands in greeting and asked for guidance.
He's only been the head of the Heavenly Pivot Hall for a few days, and he's been busy with all sorts of things, so I really don't know what the head of the Heavenly Pivot Hall is supposed to do.
" The Heavenly Pivot Hall is responsible for suppressing the Nine Yin Underground Palace, which is full of Yin Devil formed from formless and intangible foul energy."
"It needs to be cleaned up every six months to prevent the Yin Devil from devouring each other and generating excessively powerful Yin Devil."
" Lu Zhijing has been in Yunyang for more than half a year, and the Nine Yin Underground Palace has remained unattended."
"Generally speaking, you need to be at least at the Third Rank of cultivation. You have the Azure Cloud Treasure Robe, the Tianshu Treasure Sword, and your Thunder Method is quite advanced, so that should be more than enough."
Zhou Wuji nodded. "Since it concerns the Heavenly Pivot Hall, it's my responsibility to handle it."
The Yin Devil are the weakest, completely countered by Daoist magic. Even against Third Rank Yin Devil, he has a considerable chance of victory with his Thunder Method.
His cultivation of True Qi is slow, so having a large number of high-level Yin Devil would be quite useful to him.
True Person Zhihua cautioned, " The Yin Devil is omnipresent. You must guard your true self and not be swayed by illusions. Even Third Rank Yin Devil cannot harm you."
Zhou Wuji nodded in agreement, then added, " True Person, before I go in, I wish to hold a two-day Dharma assembly to spread the orthodox teachings of our sect and enlighten the world."
He was originally going to consult with the abbot, True Person Zhihua had arrived, he decided to speak with him first.
True Person Zhihua considered it for a moment and thought it was a good idea.
She said, "Your influence is currently at its peak, and most people don't have a strong faith. Holding a Dharma assembly now should attract a large number of believers."
The Northern Pole Sect was supported by the imperial court, but to thrive, it still needed a large number of followers.
The more followers a sect has, the more prosperous it becomes; the more talented people it has, the more resources it has, and the greater its influence.
The Jingyang Upper Court has been declining in power over the years. It was only with the emergence of Zhou Wuji its prestige was greatly boosted. They were just about to seize the opportunity to spread their teachings and attract more believers.
Immediately, True Person Zhihua accompanied Zhou Wuji to the Upright Heart Hall and told the abbot True Person Zhiyun, about the matter.
Although True Person Zhiyun doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs, he still values the future of the Upper Court highly and strongly supports this plan.
The news that True Person Hongde was going to hold a Dharma assembly quickly spread throughout Jingyang City, and even reached the surrounding prefectural and county towns.
On the evening of October 15th, Zhou Wuji held a sermon outside the Jingyang City.
In order to allow Zhou Wuji to preach the law, the curfew in Jingyang City was lifted that night, allowing people to freely enter and leave at night.
That evening, a large number of believers, numbering over 100,000, gathered outside the North Gate to listen to the Dharma talk.
Ordinary people can hardly understand the profound scriptures, but they can see the images on the giant water mirror and be moved by the music that surrounds them.
At the end of Zhou Wuji's speech, all 100,000+ believers knelt down and chanted in unison, "May the Northern Emperor protect us, granting us blessings, longevity, and peace."
Its sound resounded throughout half of Jingyang City.
Zhou Wuji drew upon his previous experience in preaching, preparing over a hundred Rejuvenation Spirit Technique in advance through the Five Viscera Temple and spiritual apertures, which he then applied to the believers present by radiating spiritual light.
He wasn't just randomly using his powers; he was using his powerful Divine Sense to target certain elderly and infirm patients.
While a fully-fledged Rejuvenation Spirit Technique cannot bring the dead back to life, it is easy to use to treat common ailments.
Those who receive spiritual light feel completely refreshed and comfortable, as if all their ailments have been cured, and they are overjoyed.
Through word of mouth, the supreme and wondrous teachings of True Person Hongde attracted even more believers.
The number of believers attending the Dharma assembly on the second evening was even greater.
The Dharma assembly lasted for six consecutive days, and almost everyone in Jingyang City attended it.
Including believers from surrounding prefectural and county towns, the total number is unknown.
During this period, the prefect had to dispatch a large army to maintain order and prevent chaos.
On the seventh day of the Dharma assembly, despite various restrictions, even more believers came.
Xinru, Xinkong, and others from Dragon Elephant Temple also quietly arrived at the north city wall and watched the entire Dharma assembly.
They had all witnessed Shui Jing transmitting the Dharma.
The monks were speechless as they watched as Zhou Wuji unleashed his spiritual light, which surprisingly had the effect of healing and strengthening the body.
Buddhism also has mantras for healing illnesses, such as the Sweet Dew Incantation. However, to achieve such efficacy, one must be an Arhat of the Third Rank or above to perform it personally, and it can only be performed on an individual.
Xinkong frowned and said, "This kind of method will likely damage one's foundation, making it no different from demonic magic!"
Xinru, dressed in white, shook her Xinru slightly. " The Rejuvenation Spirit Technique is a righteous method of Daoism; it wouldn't have such a major drawback."
He sighed softly, "To have mastered the Rejuvenation Spirit Technique and the Water Mirror Technique to such a level, I wonder how much effort and energy it must have taken."
" Zhou Wuji must have planned this combination of Law Technique long ago; his cunning is truly unfathomable."
Xinkong said angrily, "This person is really bold. If Devil Cultivator cultivator causes trouble and panics among the believers, I don't know how many people will die!"
Xinru Junxiu's expression was serious. "May Buddha have mercy, do not fall into the demonic path because of anger."
With so many True Person present, how dare any Devil Cultivator act so presumptuously?
He gently comforted Xinkong, "This person will go to the Chuyang Northern Pole Court by next year at the latest. Just be patient with him for a few more days—"
