Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 186 - 128: Divine Power Mirror, All Living Beings (Two in One)_2

Lou Qinglan was taken aback on the spot.

The elder's tone shifted:

"Qinglan, do you know the value of a 'Dharma Seed' that can help a martial artist conceive a Divine Taoist Body?"

Lou Qinglan knew that what the other party was talking about was the 'Dharma Seed' that had just been delivered to the branch today, provided for Ji Jingqiu.

"It's priceless," the elder spread his hands, "'Dharma Seed' development is entirely controlled by the Federation Government. They fix the annual quota for each family, which is far from enough for everyone's needs, especially those dojos and martial arts families."

"To compete for more resources, new powers have to vie for them from old powers, and this conflict is the origin."

"When people gradually become dissatisfied with the existing distribution system, believing they deserve better and more resources, they will look forward to a major reshuffle."

"This is often the beginning of wars."

Lou Qinglan said in a low voice, "But war breeds deep hatred, and once that door is opened, it cannot be closed at will."

"Correct, once the ground is soaked with blood, to think of turning back is mere wishful thinking," the elder paused, his corners of his mouth raised in irony. "But no matter, we still have masters, grandmasters who can stop when they wish, as long as everyone has grabbed enough benefits."

"Isn't that what everybody thinks? Including you."

"But is it really so? Won't masters and grandmasters gather blood feuds? Is it really possible for everyone to grab enough benefits?"

Lou Qinglan was silent, unable to answer the elder's question.

The elder shook his head:

"In any case, the Federation's situation is not good; we must find reliable allies who can back us up at critical moments."

"And Divine Power Heavy Industry is a good choice. Their current board of directors includes a martial arts genius worth betting on."

"Are you talking about Zhang Buzhou?" Lou Qinglan calmly asked, "Can he really compare with Ji Jingqiu?"

"Yes," the elder calmly replied, "Master Ye told me that Divine Power Heavy Industry's Zhang Buzhou is very likely to secure the position of Arrogant Sun this term, and his path in martial arts will be steadier than Ji Jingqiu's."

"On what grounds did Master Ye say this?" Lou Qinglan asked.

Master Ye, as mentioned by the elder, was Star Group's only Heavenly Person Tributor, holding a status within the company equivalent to the elder's.

The elder bluntly said:

"Because of their cultivated Taoist Bodies. Master Ye said that Ji Jingqiu was very brilliant before his cultivation body, but it's different after that. Zhang Buzhou's Pure Yang Dao Body can foster four types of Divine, and his legacy is perfected with countless predecessors' notes to refer to."

"While Ji Jingqiu's choice of Formless Dao Body has only three types of Divine and lacks predecessors to guide him, he can only delve into the potential of the Formless Dao Body on his own."

"Moreover, in terms of cultivation difficulty, the Formless Dao Body ranks amongst the top of superior cultivation bodies, rumored only second to the Ji Family's Heavenly Human Dao Body."

"So even if Ji Jingqiu has superior talent, he may waste years and could even be stuck halfway."

"Compared to him, Zhang Buzhou's future path is naturally more secure."

The elder paused, "This is the importance of having an orderly inheritance."

Lou Qinglan replied calmly, "Even if Zhang Buzhou's future path is steadier, what does it have to do with Star Group? He is an outsider."

The elder sighed helplessly, "But Ji Jingqiu... is not our man either. Child, who do you think he will choose between Dragon Tiger Dojo and Star Group in the future?"

"And between Dragon Tiger Dojo and Divine Power Heavy Industry, who should we choose?"

Since Star Group and Divine Power Heavy Industry were both within Xilin Business Alliance, the latter would obviously be more helpful to the group.

The elder continued softly, "I don't mind using the company's resources to invest in a genius martial artist like Ji Jingqiu, but when it involves the future of the company, I must consider more comprehensively."

"A ten-year right of use... After ten years, can we really take it back?" Lou Qinglan said softly, "You must have considered this issue too."

"Without the Divine Power Mirror, what can the company use to attract Martial Artists from Divine Travel and Chains Realm?"

"This isn't a temporary sacrifice but a complete forsaking of the company's future, a slow death."

The elder remained silent.

Lou Qinglan's words might have been a bit harsh, but they indeed contained some truth.

But this was not enough to convince him.

Lou Qinglan's eyes slightly lowered as she said:

"My grandfather once told me when he was alive, there are such people in this world, born to crush everything in their path. If anyone stands in their way, they obliterate it."

"In their dictionary of life, there is no 'safer bet' as you just described, because they were born to pioneer the wilderness."

"And the chaotic times you just portrayed, isn't it their era?"

For the first time, the elder was caught off guard, as if hearing his old friend's warning again.

He slowly closed his eyes, his voice tired, "Since you insist so much, let's postpone, until... the day the Arrogant Sun shines over the Federation. We can afford to wait that long."

Lou Qinglan's face remained calm, silent.

As this meeting ended.

The surrounding projections dissipated, and she returned to her office.

Lou Qinglan took a deep breath, feeling the air enter through her nostrils, reaching deep into her lungs.

Moments later.

She opened the terminal, inquiring whether Ji Jingqiu had returned.

"Mr. Ji is currently forging the [Dharma Body Prototype]. If you need to see him, I suggest waiting until tomorrow."

Lou Qinglan hesitated, then left a message that simply said "Keep it up," not prepared to tell Ji Jingqiu about this matter.
