Seeing Xue Peng walking onto the Taoist discussion platform again, everyone in the audience couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Even Zhu Zi is defeated. Isn't this Xue person humiliated himself when he goes up?"

"Yes, it's getting more and more difficult for a poor family to find a way to advance."

"Oh, I really miss the former kings." An old man stroked his beard and sighed.

"When the former kings were in power, their lives were more miserable than they are now, but everything was fair and just. Whenever unfair things happened, they could be investigated by beating the drum. Once verified, whether it was the princes and nobles or the families of the Immortals, they would be severely punished. How clear and clear was Qingcheng at that time."

"Although Qingcheng is rich now and has a reputation all over the world, it is no longer the Taoist platform that was set up for purely for the Taoist discussion. It has long become a world of fame and fortune, and has become the filthy and filthy businessmen and giants, and has also been brought in."

"Now, how long has it been since the Dengwen Drum been beaten? Is there no wrong in the world to complain? No, think about the consequences of the Dengwen Drum? Either the earth has evaporated or the body was abandoned in the mass grave, no one dares to beat it."

"Old brother, please speak quietly, and you are not afraid of being heard and killed!"

The old man laughed, "I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I have lived enough. What's there to be afraid of?"

On the periphery of the Taoist platform, Ma Youlian, Erhu, and Li Wan'er all looked worried, but Jiang Xuan's expression was as usual.

Li Wan'er couldn't help but say, "The final winner of this discussion was chosen by a thousand people present. These people didn't like Xiao Shatou. Now this surname is Chu who has the power to suppress others. How could Xiao Shatou win!"

Ma Youlian frowned even more when she heard this. She could clearly see the current situation. The field was generally divided into four forces: poor families, merchants, aristocratic families, and sects.

She came from a noble family, so she knew very well that the aristocratic family was closely related to the sect, and was a whole of interests, and it was impossible for poor families to violate their interests.

Originally, Xue Peng was born into a poor family and could win the support of some poor families, but now it seems that these poor families are very disgusted with Xue Peng's style and are afraid they won't vote. The merchants are profit-oriented, so she couldn't think of any reason to help Xue Peng.

The most important thing is that once you support Xue Peng, it means opposing Chu Baoliang and the Chu family and Kongjianmen. Who would be so stupid? For the sake of Xue Peng, he would go against a big force like Kongjianmen and Chu family.

At this moment, to be fair, if she had changed her position, she would not have joined Xue Peng.

In the business district under the stage, a big belly merchant smiled and said, "Brother Liu, this Xue Peng looks like a dark horse. Should I press it once?"

The fat businessman was thin, but his eyes were shiny. His small eyes turned, and he exuded a cunning spirit. He laughed, "Brother Wang is actually optimistic. Brother Wang can suppress the bigger one!"

The fat businessman smiled when he heard this, "Look at the Tao, look at the Tao."

The black and thin businessman also laughed, "Yes, look at the theory."

On the Taoist stand, Chu Baoliang sneered at Xue Peng and said, "Looking at the previous discussion with Zhu Zi, you dare to come on stage. Do you think you will win?"

Xue Peng smiled and said, "If I had no such belief, how could I come to power?"

"Okay, I want to see what strategy you use to beat me."

After the two of them said that, they looked at the practitioner who was abbot of the Tao at the same time. The practitioner then looked at the two and said, "Are you ready?"

Xue Peng and Chu Baoliang nodded at the same time.

The abbot and practitioner said, "The topic of this discussion on Taoism is still on how to enhance national strength, and it will be explained first by Chu Baoliang."

Chu Baoliang raised his lips slightly, bowed his hand, and then said, "Liang thought that my king's national strength was in the world's sects and families."

"In the sect, the aristocratic families have orthodox and systematic cultivation methods. The disciples trained by the immortal sects and aristocratic families form the most solid and solid foundation of my royal court."

"It is precisely because of the Immortal Sect and the aristocratic family that has been constantly cultivating talents that the Wangting has fresh blood and my Wangting has flourished to this day."

"If you want to improve the national strength of my royal court, you must find a way to improve the cultivation of the disciples of the aristocratic family. Do you agree?"

Everyone in the Taoist sect nodded frequently. Wang Ting's foundation is in the aristocratic family and in the sect. If he wants to improve his national strength, he really needs to improve the cultivation of the disciples of the immortal sect and aristocratic family.

Seeing everyone nodding, Chu Baoliang paused and suddenly said, "Liao has been in seclusion for many years and has finally achieved some success. He spent countless spiritual materials and finally obtained three directions, namely the Sensing Pill, the Awakening Pill, and the Condensing Pill."

"Everyone, do you feel that the induced, awakening, and condensing meridians are very familiar? Yes, these are the three realms of the first realm of ordinary people entering the qi-induced realm from cultivators: sensing, awakening, and condensing meridians."

"This Qi-induced state is the most important step for a cultivator and the most important step to lay a solid foundation. I would like to ask everyone, is the longer the time to lay a solid foundation, the better or the shorter the better."

Everyone below couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. Chu Baoliang and Zhu Zi had never mentioned this question before.

Although everyone was confused at the moment, Chu Baoliang asked what he was doing, but he replied slowly, "Is that too much? The time to lay a solid foundation is naturally the shorter the better."

"No one knows the cultivators in the world. The younger you are when you lay a solid foundation, the less innate energy in your body is lost, the more vitality you have left in the body, the easier it is to break through. The longer you go on the path of cultivation, this is well known. What does Brother Chu say about this?"

Chu Baoliang smiled and said, "Chu mentioned this because Chu can greatly shorten the time it takes to lay a solid foundation."

"What?"

"How is this possible for a time to lay a solid foundation?"

Everyone in the Taoist sect suddenly became excited, and the merchants even widened their eyes, looking at Chu Baoliang with incredible eyes.

Chu Baoliang was very satisfied with the riot below and continued to whisper, "Liao dare to ask the elder, how long does it take for the disciples of the sect to sense spiritual energy, how long does it take to awaken the spiritual roots, how long does it take to start condensing the veins, and how many spirit stones will be spent in total."

After Chu Baoliang's voice fell, several elders from various sects below the stage whispered for a while, and the last elder stood up, "I have talked to the elders of Sun and Moon Sect, after talking to the elders of various sects from all over the world, the situations of each sect are almost the same."

"For disciples with medium qualifications, it takes about three days to sense spiritual energy when taking pills, and about three months to awaken the spiritual roots. As for sensing the breath of all things, it takes about nine months. Including it takes one year, it costs about fifty thousand lower-grade spirit stones a year."

After saying that, everyone looked at Chu Baoliang and asked why he was doing this?

Chu Baoliang smiled and shook his head, "It's too slow, too slow. The induction pill refined by Liang can allow disciples with moderate qualifications to sense spiritual energy in one day. They awaken their spiritual roots in one month, and can sense the breath of all things in five months. They can enter the condensation section in six months, saving half of the time, and the spirit stones they have spent are only 100,000, which is only 50,000 more than you have originally transformed."

"I wonder if you save half of your time with 50,000 low-grade spirit stones."

When the elders heard this, they looked worried and said, "My uncle, this is a bit too much."

Chu Baoliang smiled and said, "So Liang thought that we should increase taxes for the people of the world, gather the power of the world to support sects, families, and royal court practitioners, what do you think?"

When all the elders heard this, they all looked happy and praised him repeatedly, "Nephew Chu is indeed a genius who is not born in the world. He will be famous for Qingcheng, but he will be famous in the royal court."

"This strategy of a powerful country with alchemy will also be passed down. In the future, there will be a place for the nephew Chu Shishi in the royal court."

"Yes, yes, Kongjianmen has successors, which really makes us admire him."

"Haha, that poor disciple dares to challenge Nephew Chu Shi is overestimating his ability."

Under the stage of discussion, everyone talked freely and turned their attention to Xue Peng.

When the abbot saw that Chu Baoliang finished speaking, he immediately said loudly, "Chu Baoliang's discussions have produced new lottery again, which really surprised me. He is worthy of being the first person in Qingcheng's strategy."
