Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Through Everything.

This time, the disciples of the sect took the lead.

The two heroes of the past, except Chen Xuan, Han Shaoyue, Tie Ningxiang, and Feng Zhenghua are all on the list.

Moreover, there are rumors that Jinyang Sect and Xuantian Sect have exchanged positions, and the opponent has changed from Xuejian Sect to Lingyuan Sect.

"Jinyang Sect is going to spend a lot of money!"

Such a move must not be hidden from the people of the major forces.

Jinyang Sect has the intention to replace Xuantian Sect and become the leader of the Song Dynasty.

Although Xuantian Sect is still as stable as Mount Tai in terms of high-level cultivators, it sits firmly on the top of the Song Dynasty.

But in terms of mid-level cultivators, both in quality and quantity, it is suppressed by Jinyang Sect.

This exchange of positions, Xuantian Sect has given up the biggest piece of fat.

Jinyang Sect faces great risks, but also great benefits.

If it can suppress the opposite Lingyuan Sect, it can greatly enhance the reputation of Jinyang Sect.

For this reason, Jinyang Sect does not hesitate to mobilize all the elite disciples in the sect.

Originally, Chen Xuan thought that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, Han Shaoyue, Tie Ningxiang, and Feng Zhenghua actually came to Wolong Island to visit him.

They wanted to buy a large number of "Nine Turns Rejuvenation Talisman" and a small number of "Pure Yang Exorcism Talisman".

By the way, let him loosen up and sell some "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" to them.

Although the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" has the greatest power among the thunder cultivators, other cultivators can also activate it.

The second-level top-grade thunder talisman, as long as it is activated, is enough to severely damage ordinary mid-stage foundation building cultivators.

If the number is large, late-stage foundation building cultivators will also have to take a detour.

"Nine Turns Rejuvenation Talisman" restores mana, and "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" attracts thunder bombardment. If the two talismans work together, the strength can be improved to a higher level.

In this regard, Chen Xuan had to reluctantly sell some thunder talismans to them.

After all, they are peers in the sect, and there is no grudge or hatred, so they should be given some face.

Chen Xuan sold twenty pieces to each person at a preferential price of three hundred spirit stones.

Han Shaoyue laughed and refused to give up. Chen Xuan was pestered by him and secretly sold him another twenty pieces.

Once this trend started, it would never stop.

Every foundation-building cultivator of Jinyang Sect who went to the front line to participate in the war would come to Wolong Island before leaving to buy ten "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" from Chen Xuan.

It was a pity that Chen Xuan had no family background and master in Jinyang Sect, otherwise, his reputation among the younger generation of cultivators in the sect would exceed Sun Zhengying, and after condensing the golden elixir, he would be qualified to compete for the position of the head of the sect.

After all, every time Chen Xuan sold the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman", he would have established a favor.

It's hard to say about big things, but in small things, these foundation-building fellows of Jinyang Sect would sell him a favor.

More than two thousand "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talismans", soon, only more than a thousand pieces were left.

For this reason, Chen Xuan had to put his energy back on the production of the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman".

He vaguely realized that the demand for the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" would become greater and greater, and the sect masters would come forward for it.

Sure enough.

Two months later, good news came from the front line of Wutong Mountains.

Jinyang Sect fought against Lingyuan Sect, not only did not fall behind, but also won a series of small victories, steadily advancing the front line, and had recaptured several second-level high-quality spiritual veins.

As soon as the news came out, the morale of Jinyang Sect, whether it was the sect disciples, the affiliated family cultivators, or the independent cultivators in the jurisdiction, was greatly boosted.

Not long after, detailed battle reports were also reported.

The two heroes of Jinyang Sect, represented by Sun Zhengying, made a big splash in the Wutong Mountains War.

Sun Zhengying bought a batch of "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talismans" from his fellow disciples, and fought against the Lingyuan Sect's foundation-building perfect cultivators, severely damaging them.

Han Shaoyue, Tie Ningxiang, Feng Zhenghua and others have good combat power, and with the attack power of the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman", they are in the middle stage of foundation building, and they are always victorious against the late stage of foundation building of Lingyuan Sect.

When foundation building cultivators of the same small realm fight, as long as the Jinyang Sect cultivators fall into a disadvantage, they will activate the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" one by one and throw it over like it's free.

Not only is the momentum terrifying, but the killing and injury are also terrifying.

Lingyuan Sect retreats step by step.

As time goes by, Jinyang Sect's foundation building cultivators have an overwhelming victory when facing Lingyuan Sect.

The reason is very simple.

In the default of Jindan Zhenren not leaving the field and not using the third-level talisman, Jinyang Sect's "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" is a big killer.

Moreover, there are many.

Every Jinyang Sect foundation building has more than ten "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talismans" on him.

If it is fully activated, even the Lingyuan Sect on the opposite side will be afraid to retreat even if they are in the late stage of foundation building.

Chen Xuan hid in Wolong Island and concentrated on making the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman".

Earning spirit stones is only one aspect, and more importantly, all the foundation building cultivators of Jinyang Sect who went to fight owed him a favor.

These people are the future pillars and rulers of Jinyang Sect.

Zhu Jinnian of the Law Enforcement Hall could not sit still.

He personally came to Wolong Island, brought a large number of talisman making materials, and supervised Chen Xuan to make the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman".

"Master Zhu, you have a lot of things to do, why do you have to stay here?"

Zhu Jinnian was unmoved.

"Elder Chen, you are the pride of the sect, and our Law Enforcement Hall can't keep you. However, since you are in our Law Enforcement Hall, I have to be responsible for you."

"The other eight hall masters of the inner sect, all go to the Law Enforcement Hall. Without the thunder talisman, our Law Enforcement Hall can't expect to have a good life! Not to mention the alchemy array talismans, even the daily spiritual rice and monster meat will be cut off!"

"There are also the sect's Jindan Zhenren. They are embarrassed to show up, but their direct disciples come to visit one by one, all with the Zhenren flag!"

"Elder Chen, just treat it as a respectful elder. Don't be embarrassed by this old bone! Without the thunder talisman, I can't stay in the law enforcement hall for a whole day!"

Chen Xuan smiled bitterly.

He expected this day.

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.

It is the special style of the Wutong Mountain War that made the value of "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" soar.

However, he was limited to this period.

When they compete for the second-level top-grade and top-grade spiritual veins, Zhenren Jiedan will end up.

The effect of "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" will be greatly reduced.

Next, Chen Xuan focused on producing the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman".

He told Zhu Jinnian that he could make a thunder talisman a day, and his success rate was nearly 40%.

This is already very high.

Jinyang Sect provides all the materials for making talismans. For every time a thunder talisman is handed over, it will be paid for the hard work of fifty spirit stones.

"There are fewer spirit stones, Elder Chen is more generous, just treat it as a contribution to the Law Enforcement Hall."

Zhu Jinnian said with a hint of embarrassment.

I made talismans for four or five hours a day, and I worked hard for a month to earn 20,000 spirit stones.

For Chen Xuan at this time, this was tantamount to extreme squeeze.

"At most, one year. Five thousand "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" are enough."

Chen Xuan sighed quietly.

Zhu Jinnian didn’t know that Chen Xuan only needs to draw one hour a day, and his success rate is close to 100%. He can produce thousands of "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" in one month.

After a year, I handed over five thousand pieces to the sect, leaving more.

Zhu Jinnian stayed on Wolong Island for two months and successfully got 800 thunder talismans.

After repeatedly reminding Chen Xuan to insist on making talismans, he returned to the sect with his eight hundred thunder talismans with great enthusiasm.

It can be imagined that Zhu Jinnian was in the sect to support the moon.

Both are thunder talismans, first get and then get, and the effects they play are essentially different.

...

A year later.

After Chen Xuan finished making the last "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman", he threw down the talisman pen.

This year, the quality of the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" he made was getting better and better and stronger.

But he himself was a little tired of making it.

Before he knew it, he was sixty-four years old.

The war in the Wutong Mountains has finally entered its final stage.

With the large number of "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talismans" provided by Chen Xuan, Jinyang Sect defeated Lingyuan Sect and achieved an overwhelming victory in the second-level low-level and second-level mid-level spiritual veins.

Later, the cultivators of Lingyuan Sect used a second-level mid-grade ice talisman on a large scale, with only half of the power of the thunder talisman, but they slowly suppressed their positions.

It is rumored that this kind of ice talisman is the Yuanying True Lord of Lingyuan Sect. He used secret techniques to improve the realm of the two ice-attribute talisman masters, and then he made the ice talisman called "Ice Arrow".

Despite this, Lingyuan Sect did not reverse the defeat, but just held the front line, and the second-level low- and middle-grade spiritual veins seized were less than one-third of the Jinyang Sect.

Subsequently, the foundation-building cultivators from the four kingdoms no longer advanced, and some sects who had no intention of obtaining spiritual veins retreated back to the sect.

Dai Hongjian and Han Shaoyue walked together and came to Wolong Island to pay homage to Chen Xuan.

"Junior Brother Dai is smart. He can't win over Tie Ningxiang and Feng Zhenghua. He will win over Han Shaoyue first."

"But, Han Shaoyue is not an easy person to deal with. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster depends on his own fortune."

Chen Xuan guessed that Han Shaoyue might have been reborn after taking over the body.

Otherwise, why did he know all the secret matters of the seven sects of the Song Kingdom?

...

The top of Wolong Mountain.

Chen Xuan, Dai Hongjian and Han Shaoyue sat opposite each other.

The two of them had a faint evil aura.

I just returned from the battlefield and reaped many lives of monks.

Especially Han Shaoyue, whose evil spirit is extremely strong, and his practice is extremely yin and cold, it makes it uncomfortable to take a look at it more.

It has to be admitted that the battlefield has a good grinding effect on monks.

After this battle, both Dai Hongjian and Han Shaoyue's strength have been improved.

When life and death are on the verge of life and death, it is easier to potentially uncover and break your own shackles.

The premise is that you can survive safely and not be seriously injured by the origin.

"The two junior brothers worked hard and made countless contributions. When they returned to the sect, they would definitely be rewarded by the sect!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Chen is joking. If you talk about merits, if Senior Brother Chen is not at the top of the list, no one of the senior brothers will be convinced!"

Dai Hongjian said decisively.

"Hey, where? Senior Brother Sun fought on the front line, and even killed two people in the Foundation Establishment Complete. Who dares to disobey!"

Dai Hongjian snorted coldly.

"If it weren't for Senior Brother Chen's Lei Fu, what would he be like? He is also a thunder magic cultivator, he is no match for Senior Brother Chen!"

"Besides, Senior Brother Chen not only practices thunder method, but also is good at controlling insects, swordsmanship, and talismans. The five elements are all integrated and integrated."

"After condensing the golden elixir, the sect's position is the senior brother Chen."

Han Shaoyue chuckled with his lips.

Obviously, he knew that Chen Xuan would not be the leader of Jinyang Sect.

Dai Hongjian's words meant to retreat to advance, and wanted to get Chen Xuan's support.

"I have no such thought!"

"I have three wives, three children, and two daughters. My two junior brothers think how much energy can I have left to deal with the affairs of the sect?"

Han Shaoyue shook his head and sighed, "Senior Brother Chen, this is your fault."

"We monks, who are doing things against the will of heaven, are to achieve enlightenment forever. How can we be dragged down by our children's love?"

"Now you're just going to be the only one who deserves it!"

Chen Xuan was not that polite to Han Shaoyue.

"Junior Brother Han, forget it!"

"A body of evil energy and Yin fire will make a pill in the future!"

But Han Shaoyue smiled: "Senior Brother Chen, don't worry, junior brother has his own sense of responsibility."

Obviously, he had already planned something.

"The world of cultivation is changing, and the good and bad are hard to predict. The three of us, who are in a similar mood, become brothers and help each other, is it okay?"

Dai Hongjian’s proposal was a little sudden.

Chen Xuan and Han Shaoyue looked at each other.

The two of them shook their heads tacitly.

"Everyone is a brother of the same clan, so he should help each other. There is no need to fight Jinlan, but Han is used to being alone."

Han Shaoyue politely declined.

"Senior Brother Dai's kindness is appreciated. However, Junior Brother Han is right. Everyone is the same brother and should help each other. There is no need to make friends with Jinlan again and cause gossip among others."

Chen Xuan also said with a smile.

Dai Hongjian's family background and personal identity of the sect can bring many conveniences to Chen Xuan and Han Shaoyue.

It is OK to make friends in private, but it is not OK to make friends with Jinlan.

Once you form righteous brothers, live and die together, advance and retreat together, you will only face more and more ties in the future.

Neither Chen Xuan nor Han Shaoyue wanted to tie him up on Dai Hong's sword ship, and became his tool for fighting for power and profit.

Everyone is just using each other, and it cannot be increased to the level of mutual conscience.

Dai Hongjian was obviously disappointed in this.

In his heart, Chen Xuan and Han Shaoyue are both worthy of their efforts to win over.

Dai Hongjian proposed to make Jinlan with Chen Xuan and Han Shaoyue, which was carefully considered.

These two people are not only capable, but also from a casual cultivator and have no ambitions for the position of Jinyang Sect.

It’s useless to have ambitions, and they are not qualified to compete for the position of the leader.

If they become righteous brothers and compete for the position of commander in the future, the two righteous brothers would have the nerve to stand by and watch?

The younger generation of Jinyang Sect has the saying that the two heroes are two heroes.

Among the three heroes, Tie Ningxiang and Feng Zhenghua seem to be standing on Sun Zhengying's side.

The two heroes have a reputation among the sects, which is still above the three heroes.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Especially Chen Xuan, who is extremely powerful and rich.

This time, the four countries in the Wutong Mountains fought, and almost everyone of the foundation-building monks who went to fight in the sect owed him a favor of no big or small.

If he had his help, it would be enough to compete with Sun Zhengying, who was becoming more and more powerful.

That night, Chen Xuan held a banquet at Longxing Villa to entertain Dai Hongjian and Han Shaoyue.

After the banquet, Dai Hongjian said goodbye and left.

But Han Shaoyue stayed and lived in Longxing Villa.

"Junior Brother Han, what do you think of the Liang Kingdom Demon Sect?"

In the secret room, Chen Xuan took out the best spiritual tea and brewed it for Han Shaoyue to taste it.

"In thirty years, we will definitely attack the State of Song."

Han Shaoyue took a sip of spiritual tea and said calmly.

"Ah! Is this statement of Junior Brother Han's basis?"

Chen Xuan was suddenly frightened.

With his understanding of Han Shaoyue, such a major judgment must be based on it.

"Although there are many demon sects in Liang Kingdom, the dominant ones are the Blood Spirit Sect, Hehuan Sect, Yinsha Sect, Yangzi Sect, Baibone Sect, and Netherworld Sect."

"These six major demon sects are all dominated by the Nascent Soul Demon Ancestor. Among them, the first three sects, also known as the upper three sects of Liang Kingdom, have many Nascent Soul Demon Ancestors in the sect."

"The demon cultivator has always been in charge of his own affairs and is lawless. However, the Blood Spirit Sect and the Hehuan Sect already have an alliance, and it is said that the conditions have been almost done."

"If the Blood Spirit Sect and Hehuan Sect openly alliance, the Liang Kingdom Demon Sect will all obey the orders of these two sects. At that time, the Blood Spirit Sect and Hehuan Sect will integrate the Liang Kingdom Demon Sect and will definitely expand to the outside world."

"The weakest Song State is the first choice for the foreign invasion target of the Demon Sect of Liang State."

Han Shaoyue finished speaking in one breath, his voice calm.

It seems to be telling a simple story, without any emotion at all.

"Why is it Song State? Aren't there Chen State or Feng State next to Liang State?"

Han Shaoyue smiled.

"Because Song State is the weakest. Moreover, the border line is the longest and the most convenient to travel."

Chen Xuan sighed.

Weak strength is the most important reason for being easily beaten.

As for the long border line and easy access, these are just the icing on the cake.

"As the leader of the seven sects of the Song Kingdom, Xuantian Sect, is so unrespected?"

"The Xuantian Sect of the Song Kingdom is just a branch of the Xuantian Sect of the Jin Kingdom, and the inheritance is not complete. Moreover, those old Taoists, who have been watching the sky through the well for many years, have not valued actual combat, and have fewer and fewer Yuanying True Lords who can show off their skills."

Han Shaoyue seemed to be quite despised by the combat power of Xuantian Sect.

"Does Junior Brother Han have any countermeasures?"

"What countermeasures are there? If you can beat it, fight it, and if you can't beat it, run away!"

Han Shaoyue smiled very well, as if he had picked up a treasure.

"I am not like Senior Brother Chen, a family, and a foundation like Wolong Island. As long as I have the strength, the world is so big that I can't go anywhere! Where can I practice!"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

He was indeed tied by his family and had no choice but to do anything.

"Home Brother Han has a good way to teach me?"

"No!"

Han Shaoyue flatly refused to come up with an idea.

"Senior Brother Chen is so talented that if you are the only one, you don't have to worry about these things. You will have the sect's Yuanying True Lord to deal with it."

"But if I ask you to give up your family, I will be a villain in vain. Senior Brother Chen, you should think of your own way!"

Han Shaoyue knew Chen Xuan's personality and did not intend to persuade him.

That night, the two exchanged some experiences in practicing.

Chen Xuan used Xuantian Pure Yang magic power to clear Han Shaoyue's meridians.

Han Shaoyue also used extremely cold fire to burn Chen Xuan's sun fire.

The two of them complemented each other's skills, and they benefited a lot.

Han Shaoyue stayed in Longxing Villa for more than ten days. Seeing that the communication was almost over, he said goodbye and left.

"Thirty years!"

After seeing Han Shaoyue off, Chen Xuan increased the development of the deserted island.

He estimated that the war between Liang Kingdom's Demon Sect and Song Kingdom's Dao Sect would last at least hundreds of years.

"The seven major Dao Sects of Song Kingdom have been passed down for ten thousand years, so they can at least withstand hundreds of years."

Despite this, he still had to be fully prepared.

Steamships continued to increase investment in research and development, with larger and larger hulls, faster and faster speeds, and even using spirit stones as auxiliary power.

On the other side, the four-country war in Wutong Mountains was finally coming to an end.

Song and Xu, and Yu and Lu, each sent representatives from their sects to sit down and start talking.

Although it would take some time before it was completely over, there were still small-scale fights in various places.

But it was only a matter of time before they could sit down and talk and end the war.

Chen Xuan saw it clearly.

Low- and middle-level cultivators could be consumed as cannon fodder.

At the level of Jindan Zhenren, even if it is a fake Zhenren, the four countries' sects are reluctant to sacrifice.

After the second-level lower-grade and middle-grade spirit veins are divided, the remaining ones are the Jindan Zhenren.

Without a melee, it is very likely that the distribution of the remaining high-level spirit veins will be decided by the four-country sect competition.

Sure enough, not long after, the news came.

The four countries decided to hold the four-country sect competition in the neutral country of Chen.

The participants are all Jindan Zhenren.

The ownership of the remaining high-level spirit veins in Wutong Mountain Range will be determined by the results of the competition.

As soon as the news came out, all places were boiling.

There was an endless stream of cultivators heading to Chen.

This is the Jindan Zhenren competition!

It is rare to see it in a thousand years.

Even if you have no chance to participate, being able to take a look will be of great benefit to your own practice.

Chen Xuan cherishes this opportunity.

However, he has to make one thing clear first.

That is whether the Yuguo Lingyuan Sect's order to kill him has been lifted.

Chen Xuan went back to the Jinyang Sect's Law Enforcement Hall and asked the hall master Zhu Jinnian to confirm the matter with the head of the sect.

He had made great contributions to the war of the Jinyang Sect.

Now that he was threatened by the killing order of the Lingyuan Sect of the Yu Kingdom, the sect had to stand up for him.

This request was reasonable.

Otherwise, as soon as Chen Xuan left Song Kingdom, he would be hunted down by the cultivators of the Yu Kingdom.

Even though he had no rivals in the foundation-building realm, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed if he did not use his trump card when encountering a Jindan Zhenren.

Zhu Jinnian went out with a smile.

When he came back, he told him that he could rest assured and rest assured.

The four countries' sects had already negotiated a comprehensive ceasefire.

It was strictly forbidden to hunt down and retaliate against the disciples of the four countries' sects.

Even in a neutral country, it was not allowed.

It was good for Chen Kingdom to hold this four-country sect competition.

The largest Danying Sect in Chen Kingdom was strong as a mediator.

Afterwards, they will also get a share of the Wutong Mountains.

This is how the world of cultivation works.

Everything is based on interests.

As long as there are interests, enemies and friends can change in an instant.

Chen Xuan went to find Han Shaoyue again.

This person is well-informed, and they have cooperated happily so far without any trouble.

If he went to Chen State to watch the battle, he planned to take Han Shaoyue with him.

Unexpectedly, Han Shaoyue also had the same intention.

The two hit it off.

"The killing order of Brother Chen by Lingyuan Sect of Yu State must have been lifted on the surface. In secret, it may still exist."

"Brother Chen, don't worry. In Chen State, Lingyuan Sect dare not act rashly. Danying Sect is not easy to mess with. They will monitor every Jindan Zhenren who enters Chen State and strictly prohibit private fighting."

"That's good."

Come to think of it.

Chen Xuan's Danying Sect dared to snatch food from the four countries' sects, how could it be an ordinary person.

Most of the foundation-building cultivators like them practice in their own country.

If there is no special reason, they will not go out of their own country.

Not only is the journey full of risks, it is easy to be attacked by monsters and bad weather.

Even if they arrive in another country safely, they will be monitored by the local sect and even robbed and killed.

In another country, without the support of the sect, they are not much different from ordinary casual cultivators, and become fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered.

However, this time the four-country competition was organized by Danying Sect, and the nature was completely different.

Danying Sect welcomes cultivators from the four countries to go to Chen State to watch the competition. For this reason, a safe passage from the four countries to Chen State was opened.

Of course, the cost is not cheap.

The route opening fee for the sect warship to fly to Chen State is as high as 100,000 spirit stones per ship.

When arriving in Chen State, they have to rest and stay in the inn designated by Danying Sect, and the price is also far higher than the market price.

Danying Sect has taken great pains, not only to divide some spirit veins, but also to get a large amount of spirit stones.

"It's all business!"

In addition, Chen Xuan went to Chen State for another purpose.

Selling the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" and purchasing the Emperor's Flowing Juice.

There are too many "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman" in hand, nearly 10,000 pieces, which can't be used up at all.

He can't sell them in Song State, which will attract the attention of the sect's interested people.

As for the Emperor's Flowing Juice, even if Wolong Island keeps raising the purchase price, the amount purchased is getting smaller and smaller.

This kind of spiritual object has a fixed number, and only one bottle can be collected from the second-level upper-grade spiritual vein.

Song State and the neighboring Yu State and Lu State have very few remaining.

There is not much meaning in raising the purchase price.

And Chen State should still be the original market price of 50,000 to 60,000 spirit stones per bottle, with abundant reserves.

If Chen Xuan raises the price, he should be able to purchase a batch.

Emperor Flowing Juice is to monsters what Spirit Stone is to cultivators. It is an indispensable consumable. The more, the better. There is no room for depreciation.

For such secret things, the fewer people know, the better.

Chen Xuan is not at ease traveling with others.

However, Chen Xuan has some guesses about Han Shaoyue, so he is not afraid of him leaking secrets.

This person has many more secrets than him.

The two have no conflict of interest at this time, and it is a good time to work together.

"Brother Chen, I have found out clearly. Two months later, Chen State will open a navigation channel, and we will set off from the sect on a warship together."

"Okay!"

Chen Xuan promised generously.
