According to the original rules of the "Realm of Discussing the Tao", one point will be added if you win a round, and one point will be deducted if you lose a round. The points will be deducted until the lowest point is zero, and then the monks of different realms will be ranked.
On this basis, Gu Xu further added a "level" mechanism.
Specifically, it includes eight levels: "Heaven", "Earth", "Xuan", "Huang", "Yu", "Zhou", "Hong" and "Huang".
At the beginning of each quarter, all "Purple Mansion Army" monks start from the "Desolate" level. As long as they accumulate a certain level of points, they can be promoted to a higher level.
In the "Tao Discussion Room", the names of practitioners of different levels will be displayed in different colors to show distinction.
Whenever a monk is promoted to the "Heaven" level or the "Earth" level, an announcement will be made in the fantasy space of the entire "Qingdu Order" to announce the news to everyone.
After each quarter, all monks will settle their levels.
Monks of different levels will receive different levels of rewards, as well as a unique title, such as "Outstanding", "To the Peak", "Unparalleled in the World", etc.
These titles will be dotted next to their names over the next quarter.
In addition, practitioners at the "Xuan" level and above will also receive a special set of costumes for the "Realm of Taoism" avatar, with different themes for each season.
For this reason, Gu Xu specially invited Shangguan Jin, who was good at painting, to design for them.
The theme of this quarter is called "The Long Night Watcher".
It was a set of black light armor with an extremely cool shape, inlaid with delicate silver-white patterns, and a black cape that looked like burning flames on the back.
"Your Majesty, do you think these flashy things can really motivate the monks of the 'Zifu Army'?" That day, Shangguan Jin was sitting at Gu Xu's desk, holding a slender brush. , asked curiously, "They are neither money nor real resources for cultivation. They can't even enhance some defense in the 'Realm of Taoism'. The monks will really do their best for these rewards." Practicing? "
Gu Xu stood beside her, watching her draw on the paper and playing with a strand of her black hair.
"Human vanity is more terrifying than you think, especially in front of familiar relatives and friends," he replied, "Just like the girls on the Lantern Festival, they always try to find ways to dress themselves up beautifully so that they can be seen by their peers.
"The young people of the 'Zifu Army', even if they don't say it, they must be eager to be different and eager to be envied by others. ”
Hearing his words, Shangguan Jin thought for a moment and agreed deeply.
After all, including herself, how could she not be trapped in the whirlpool of vanity?
Although she knew very well in her heart that no matter how hard she tried, Gu Xu could not be biased towards any woman in the harem.
However, every time they were together with Zhao Yan, the two of them would inevitably dress up painstakingly in an attempt to compete in appearance.
"That's true." The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a smile spread gently on her lips.
The orange candlelight fell on her fair face, like the gentle and warm sunshine in the winter morning.
"You have to draw well," Gu Xu bent down and put his lips close to her ear, as if kissing her auricle. "The better you draw, the harder they will work."
Gu Xu clearly remembers that in some games in his previous life, some virtual clothes were even more expensive than real designer clothes, but even so, there were still many people who did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and even spent all their savings. , just to obtain these virtual items.
"But, brother, you are so close to me, I can't concentrate on drawing!" Shangguan Jin felt his breath in her ears and chuckled.
Although she said this, her head tilted in his direction involuntarily.
"Then I will go out now without disturbing you?" Gu Xu straightened up, took two steps back, and pretended to leave the imperial study.
"No, Your Majesty, I'm just talking," Shangguan Jin quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "I still need your Majesty to give me some more opinions! Besides, I'm the only one If someone sees me staying in this study and sitting on His Majesty's chair, then——"
"——Okay, then I'll stay here," Gu Xu said.
"Brother, you are so kind!"
She narrowed her eyes, arched her eyebrows, and smiled like a cunning fox.
In the next period of time, Gu Xu looked at Shangguan Jin’s concentration and tranquility while drawing, and he couldn’t help but silently said in his heart:
“The monks of Daxia, for the sake of the Great Wilderness In the future, you will all be rolled up to death by me!”
…………
In addition to making improvements to the "Realm of Discussing the Tao", Gu Xu also took advantage of the breakthrough progress made in the research on the derivation of the formation to promote virtual currency in the "Qingdu Fantasy"——
"Xia Imperial Coin".
All monks, as long as they publish their own exercises, martial arts, spells, etc. in the "Qingdu Fantasy", or make improvements to existing Taoist methods, or answer questions in other people's practice If you have doubts, or if you actively participate in the "Realm of Taoism", you can get "Xiahuang Coins" as a reward. Then, with these "Xia Huang Coins", they can exchange them for Taoist secrets from others.
In recent days, Li Yun, a monk from the "Purple Mansion Army", is improving a body technique called "White Bird Hanbobu" under the guidance of "Senior He Yiqun".
This was a movement technique he had mastered in the past.
But just like the "Leiyin Sword Technique" not long ago -
Since he joined the "Zifu Army", began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and practiced the "Xiahuang Jing", he I found that this body technique did not match the new circulation of true energy, and it was a bit awkward and sluggish to use.
He once again asked "Senior He" for advice as a habit.
In Li Yun's eyes, "Senior He" is an elder who is persuasive, tireless in teaching, and indifferent to fame and fortune. Whenever he encounters confusion, the senior can always give sharp advice.
However, whenever Li Yun wanted to do something to express his gratitude to "Senior He", the senior always firmly refused.
But this time, "Senior He" did not personally help Li Yun modify the formula.
But through the "Qingdu Order", Li Yun was taught step by step to make changes on his own.
"You are the best among the young monks of the 'Zifu Army'. His Majesty has placed high expectations on you and will definitely entrust you with important responsibilities in the future," "Senior He" said at that time He said to Li Yun, "When someone helps you change the method, it's like someone chewing something up and feeding it to you.
"And when you do it yourself, you can deeply feel that your How the true energy moves in the meridians, how accurately each of your movements needs to be grasped, and what kind of state your spirit needs to reach in order to most perfectly resonate with the great avenue of heaven and earth.
"If you can think more about such issues, it will be of great benefit to your future promotion to the sixth realm or even the saint realm."
Sixth realm?
The realm of a saint?
"Senior He" has such high expectations for me?
But I am still just an ordinary third-level monk!
Li Yun was shocked when he saw the reply message sent by "Senior He" through the "Qingdu Order".
He sat up straight suddenly, a trace of obvious pressure surged in his heart, and his expression became more focused than ever.
So, in the following half a month, under the guidance of "Senior He", he conducted an in-depth and thorough study of "Shiratiao Hanbobu" step by step from the fundamental principles and innovative ideas. analyze.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the appearance of this body technique and reach its essential core.
He suddenly realized that when he practiced this movement in the past, he just followed the secret book and performed it step by step.
It has only appearance but no spirit.
I only know what it is, but I don’t know why.
He thought he was using it very skillfully, but in fact he was just relying on rigid muscle memory.
Once the actual situation is slightly different from the secret book, his movements will become sluggish and he will be unable to quickly draw inferences and respond.
However, under the guidance of Senior He, he gradually understood the source of inspiration of the founder of "White Bird Hanbo Step", understood the design intention of each movement, and also realized that this set of movements has invisible It is consistent with the laws of heaven and earth.
He dismantled the originally rigid formula into smaller elements and reassembled them in a more flexible and harmonious way.
Things taken from others finally truly became his own.
After mastering it to this extent, he can almost be regarded as an expert in "Shiratori Hanbobu". It is not difficult for him to make some minor modifications based on the "Xiahuang Jing".
At this moment, deep in Li Yun's heart, his gratitude to "Senior He" is beyond words.
Although he has been a monk for many years.
But today, he felt as if he had just truly learned how to practice.
Looking at the "Qingdu Order" in his hand, Li Yun hesitated for a long time, his fingers trembling slightly, and his heartbeat accelerated to the extreme, as if it was about to break through his chest.
He took a deep breath, and with a nervous and anxious mood, sent a message to "Senior He":
"Senior He, your kindness in teaching is more important than Mount Tai. I have nothing to repay. I wonder if senior can allow me to pay my respects to you?”
