The personal security of the beautiful president

"That's a good question." Long Hao turned around and smiled at Ding Zhe: "We don't know exactly how many branches there are."

"You know, there are too few cultivation resources now."

"It's just pathetic."

"And all Taoists have to use all kinds of methods to find cultivation resources."

"And these methods are all kinds of strange things."

"So inside the Taoists, they are divided according to the way of cultivation."

"Our medicine stone branch mainly relies on medicine to cultivate."

"The desert branch relies on a resource deep in the desert to cultivate."

"I don't know much more."

"However, I know that there are two remaining branches in the ancient country of Dongying, and these two branches belong to their two major guardian gods."

"It is said that there is also a branch in the West Liao Kingdom."

"In our country, as far as I know now, there should be eight major branches."

"In addition to the three just now, these eight branches also include the Longyin Shaolin Temple branch, the Qilin Wudang branch, the Kunlunxu branch of the Demon Realm, the Tiangang Shushan branch, and the Disha Gu corpse branch..."

"Uh!"

Ding Zhe's eyes widened.

He just looked at Long Hao.

On the other hand, Long Hao continued to talk: "These eight branches, it sounds like they are beautiful, but they are actually quite shabby."

"Because there are too few cultivation resources, coupled with the restrictions of some strange rules, everyone adheres to a principle, that is, if you can not get involved in the world, you will not get involved in the world."

"Take the Family Hiding Order as an example. We old guys have been planning for a long time, but in the end we still feel that we can't implement it ourselves."

"Because once we are exposed too much, it will inevitably lead to more people pouring into our team, resulting in the dilution of the few cultivation resources."

"And this will cause those strange rules to impose punishment on us, leading to our complete demise and breaking the inheritance."

"There is no way, we have to let the outer disciples under the sect to carry it out."

"Yes!"

"As you know, the Forbidden City is the outer disciple of our Yaoshi branch..."

"Cough cough!"

Ding Zhe coughed twice and continued to listen.

"Of course, not all the branches of the Eight Great Ways support the hidden order of the family. For example, the Damo branch and the Kunlunxu branch of the Moyu do not support it."

"The desert branch even sent people to kidnap my granddaughter, Shi Caixuan, in an attempt to blackmail us into submission."

"You should have guessed what happened next, my disciple, the Forbidden City rushed to the depths of the desert, destroyed the branch of the desert, and rescued Shi Caixuan..."

"But!"

Ding Zhe interrupted Long Hao: "Old Man Long, why don't you recognize Shi Caixuan?"

"Yes." Long Hao sighed, "Why didn't I recognize Shi Caixuan?"

"In addition to the principle of avoiding the world as long as I said just now, there is another reason."

"After Shi Caixuan was brought back from the Forbidden City, our Yaoshi branch is also facing a huge crisis."

"I don't even know if I can survive."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that that crisis should not involve ordinary people or warriors."

"That's why Caixuan was allowed to stay by the Forbidden City's side until now."

"Ok."

Ding Zhe nodded.

"But this time is an exception."

Long Hao said: "What happened this time, what the Daoists from the desert branch have done has broken through the restrictions of the rules."

"I don't know what happened in the depths of the desert that made them so bold that they ignored the rules."

"As a last resort, I have no choice but to show up and find you here."

"At the same time, you will be assessed."

"After all, you are also a member of our Yaoshi branch..."

"Ok!"

Ding Zhe nodded.

He probably understood what Long Hao meant.

The living environment of Taoists is far from being as good as I thought.

Because of some rules and resource constraints, they are all hiding from the world.

Then, he thought of another thing: "Then, Old Man Long, the pendant you showed me just now..."

"Haha, clever!"

Long Hao pointed to Ding Zhe and said: "The things stored in this pendant are one of the essences of our medicine stone branch cultivation."

Saying so, Long Hao took out the necklace again: "This thing is called chalcedony!"

"What, chalcedony?"

Ding Zhe froze for a moment, it was the first time he heard this name.

"Yes, chalcedony, a cultivation resource that can only appear in a few imperial green jadeites."

"This thing is very precious, but it is also very effective."

"Such a small amount of chalcedony is the output of our Yaoshi branch in the last year."

"The reason why I used this thing to test you just now is actually a kind of investigation."

"See if you are sensitive to chalcedony."

"If you are not sensitive to chalcedony, then it proves that you have no destiny with the medicine stone branch, and you will not be here now."

"We'll never meet..."

"Okay, Ding Zhe, is there anything else you don't understand?"

After talking so much in one breath, Long Hao seemed a little tired. He came over and sat opposite Ding Zhe, looking at him.

"Well, then, old man Long, may I know the realm of a Taoist?"

Ding Zhe asked after thinking about it.

"Another good question."

Long Hao smiled at Ding Zhe: "I'm still worried that you won't ask this question."

"We Taoists are divided into three realms, namely Daomen Realm, Heavenly Light Realm and Soul Realm..."

"And each state is divided into upper, middle, and lower levels."

"Take you now as an example. Your current state is at the entry level of the Heavenly Light Realm."

"There is still some distance from the lower grade of Tianguang Realm."

"As for Long Caiyi and I, both of us are middle-rank in the Tianguang Realm..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Long Caiyi again: "I have stayed in this realm for 50 years, and I don't know if I can break through to the top rank in my lifetime..."

"Long Caiyi will tell you the knowledge about these three realms later."

"You may still want to ask, are Taoists only these three realms?"

Long Hao smiled gently: "My answer is, yes."

"Further up is the realm of the ascetic, and we don't know exactly what the realm of the ascetic is."

While talking, Long Hao handed the small glass pendant to Ding Zhe: "Okay, the rules of the medicine stone branch, this is yours now..."

"Uh!"

Ding Zhe was taken aback for a moment.

Did not reach out to pick it up.

You know, from Long Hao's mouth, he learned how much imperial green jadeite this thing needs to have such a little bit in it, it can be said to be extremely precious.

But now I gave it to myself.

This can be said to be a very expensive gift, and he is really embarrassed.

"it does not matter."

Long Hao seemed to know what Ding Zhe was thinking: "Although chalcedony is precious, it can only improve our cultivation to the mid-level of Heavenly Light...Long Caiyi and I won't be able to use it anymore."

Ding Zhe still didn't go to pick it up, but asked carefully: "Old Man Long, but Wu Xuezhi and the others want me to go?"

"No no no!"

Long Hao shook his head: "This is your choice, we will not interfere."

"Our medicine stone branch is like this, very loose, unless you are my disciple, otherwise I will not interfere with your affairs."

Then, Long Hao put the chalcedony into Ding Zhe's hands: "By the way, young man, I remember your feeling about this kind of chalcedony. This is the guarantee for your cultivation to improve to the mid-level of the Heavenly Light Realm in the future."

"Ok!"

Ding Zhe suddenly understood what Long Hao meant...
