This continent did not have books like National Geography or General History of the Continent that introduced all countries, nor did it have News Broadcast that could be used to pay attention to world events.
Therefore, if one wanted to understand the local customs of another country, they would either go there personally or send someone to investigate.
However, Jiang Beiran had a local in front of him, so he did not have to go through so much trouble.
"There are many factions in the Qi Kingdom, and three of them are the strongest. One is the Forest Feather Palace controlled by Sikong One Guo Heming, and the four of them are all Mystique Venerable Ones."
"The second faction is the Nanming Army led by Ye Peifeng. There are 1,300 soldiers in the army, and the weakest of them is at the Mystic King Realm. It is said that Ye Peifeng is already a Half-Saint."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh.""Turtle…The army formed by the Xuan King was not bad, but the Sheng Country was completely incomparable."
"Finally, there is the Emperor of Qi himself, Tu Chengfeng, a peak Mystique Venerable Rank. At least on the surface, he has the greatest say in the Qi Empire and is respected by tens of thousands of people."
'Is the emperor so good at playing cards…'
In order to understand a country, one naturally had to start from its internal forces. Unlike the Sheng Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom was a country of imperial power, and the imperial court had a very high status. All the sects and powers had to be under the supervision of the imperial court.
In this way, the official position naturally represented strength.
Although the Qi Empire did not have such an obvious clash between the righteous and demonic paths, where there were people, there was bound to be conflict. The internal strife between factions had never stopped, and the ultimate goal was naturally for profit.
Factions had always been complicated. There was me in you and you in me. If I could stab you in the back today, I could call you brother tomorrow.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran did not count on Lin Yuyan to analyze all the factions. However, he was surprised that Lin Yuyan actually knew about the conflicts between factions, listing out the relationships between the factions and sects.
Although it was definitely not accurate, it was still somewhat helpful.
After studying the power map drawn by Lin Yuyan for a while, Jiang Beiran pointed at the Emperor and asked,""How much power does the emperor have?"
"In a situation where the interests are the same, he can mobilize the Forest Feather Palace and the Nanming Army. In a situation where the interests are contradictory, it will be very difficult for him to accomplish anything."
Jiang Beiran could not help but frown.
" A figurehead emperor? Is it contradictory?
Although Jiang Beiran had never thought that the imperial power in this world could reach the heights of his previous world, it was no different from the Sheng Kingdom when it was reduced to such a state.
'So what's important is the imperial court and not the imperial power?'
However, Jiang Beiran did not think too much about it. After all, this was only Lin Yuyan's one-sided statement. Jiang Beiran would have to confirm with his own eyes what the Emperor of Qi was like.
After that, Jiang Beiran asked a few more questions about the Qi Kingdom. He realized that a strong country was indeed a strong country. Just Lin Yuyan's description alone made Jiang Beiran feel that the country was rich and the people were strong.
The abundance of the spirit vein, in particular, made Jiang Beiran drool.
According to the difference in the amount of spiritual energy, spiritual veins were divided into six levels: miniature, small, medium, large, super large, and giant.
For example, the spirit vein in Jiang Beiran's house was miniature, barely enough for him to use.
The Masked Moon Sect was built on a medium-sized spirit vein, and this medium-sized spirit vein was also the densest spirit vein that could be found in the entire Feng Province.
That's right, in a huge country like Sheng, the best spiritual vein was only at the intermediate level. This was also the reason why those powerful countries did not bother to fight. Not only would they not earn anything, but they would also attract trouble.
And in the Qi Country, if you didn't have the strength to occupy a large scale spirit vein, then you didn't even have the qualifications to establish a sect.
'This gap is a little too big…'
"Right, Dhyana Sect has a special spirit vein, so most of their disciples are stronger than other sects."
The so-called special spirit meridians were actually the five elemental spirit meridians. Just like Wu Qingce's lightning spiritual energy, there were also spirit meridians that could naturally produce the five elemental spiritual energy.
However, such a spirit vein was extremely rare. After all, a spirit vein like this could nurture countless cultivators of the five elements. As for how strong the five elements were, it could be seen from Wu Qingce's ability to easily challenge experts of a higher realm.
"What kind of special spirit meridian does the Zen Master of the Void Sect have?"Jiang Beiran asked curiously.
"Earth Spiritual Vein."
'Earth Spiritual Vein…'
Earth spiritual energy was the main attribute of the five elements. Its characteristics were storage, sealing, and defense.
Storage referred to the fact that cultivators of earth spiritual energy could store a large amount of spiritual energy in their bodies. During battle, their moves would be endless, and they would not give their opponents any time to catch their breath.
The seal referred to the array formation. When the earth spiritual energy possessor set up the array formation, they could borrow the power of the earth to increase the sealing effect to a higher level.
As for the final defense, it was literally what it meant. The defensive power of the owner of the earth spiritual energy was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, especially in terms of physical defense. It could be said to be superb.
Moreover, compared to Wu Qingce's thunder spiritual energy, which was forcefully cultivated through medicine, the earth spiritual energy that was cultivated through the nourishment of the earth spiritual vein was the true earth spiritual energy. Its effect would not be reduced at all.
'F * ck…It really felt like he was spying on the upper class.'
Recently, it had become increasingly difficult for Jiang Beiran to trigger more than a dozen options in the Sheng Nation. The reason was that there were fewer and fewer things in the Sheng Nation that could threaten him.
