Chapter 260 Adjusting Strategy(1/2)
The reason why Meng Zhou had such doubts in his heart was not just because of this detail.
In fact, Meng Zhou had always had a layer of doubt lingering in his heart.
About the world itself.
For practitioners in the five realms, the heaven and earth with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles is vast enough.
For most of them, it is difficult to fully explore even a single area in their lifetime.
They have no intention of paying attention to the world beyond their own capabilities.
Therefore, they take their knowledge of the five realms for granted.
What is beyond the five realms?
have what?
Few people think about it, and even fewer people care about it.
But for Meng Zhou, who had previous life experience, this too clear division between "knowable" and "unknowable" gave him the greatest sense of dissonance.
It's hard for him not to think about a question——
What is beyond the five realms? What is there?
The first person who helped him expand his horizons beyond the Five Realms was Yan Zhuang.
Meng Zhou not only knew about the Xingxiu Sea that existed outside the Five Realms, but also had the power to crush the Five Realms in all aspects.
He also confirmed from Yanzhuang's memory that there is indeed a larger world outside the Five Realms.
Unfortunately, before Yanzhuang established the foundation, when his actions were still completely controlled and autonomous, what he knew and saw was very narrow. Except for some information about Xingxiu Sea, there was no harvest that Meng Zhou expected;
After he achieved foundation building, his destiny was completely controlled by an invisible hand, and his thinking and vision did not improve as his strength increased.
Instead, he gradually became distorted and paranoid, completely trapped within an extremely narrow range.
Meng Zhou also failed to solve the doubts about this world from his memory.
However, Meng Zhou always kept this incident in mind and never let go of it.
This time, with this appropriate opportunity, I finally burst out from the depths of my heart.
It was clearly presented in his mind that he could no longer avoid it and had to face this problem squarely.
With these things in mind, Meng Zhou felt that his body and mind suddenly became a little heavier.
After returning to Aurora Cave, Meng Zhou had already made clear his next plan.
Meng Zhou's practice has always been "self-centered".
No matter how chaotic and changing the outside world is, he can "stay in a small building and become unified", regardless of all the changes and disputes in the outside world.
Without today's discovery, Meng Zhou would most likely continue following this pattern.
But now, Meng Zhou realized that he had to make changes.
In the past, without knowing this secret, he could still practice on his own leisurely.
But now——
"I have to take the initiative to do something."
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but think of the advice he had given to Qingxuanzong through "Song Yang".
At that time, he advised Qingxuanzong that before making a choice, he must first distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and then make decisions and responses.
Meng Zhou suddenly realized that it was like a boomerang, spinning around in circles and finally returning to his hand.
——That set of principles also applies to him now.
"If there is anyone in the Five Realms who knows something about the true current situation of the Five Realms, it is most likely none other than the Five Elders Qingxuan and the Third Ancestor Yu Ling, the founders of the sect."
"Those who are most worried about this real situation and have the most firm hostile beliefs are also this group of people."
When Meng Zhou made this clear in his mind, some new plans had already emerged in his mind without any deliberate action.
However, although he had new considerations in mind, Meng Zhou did not take action immediately.
Instead, he calmed down all his thoughts again and devoted himself wholeheartedly to practice, as if he had never made this unexpected discovery.
In the blink of an eye, time has arrived in December.
The fifth day of December.
Cultivation progress +330, fifth level of elixir formation 7650/10,000;
Third-level Spring Water Sutra +3300, Grandmaster 75,900/240,000;
Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +3300, Grandmaster 64,200/240,000.
Shortly after finishing this routine retreat, Meng Zhou suddenly had a thought in his mind and once again turned his attention back to the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone who stayed in Sanchuan Yuan.
According to the agreement he reached in advance with the Jade Blood Army and the Pharmacist Branch, he will come out to treat a group of traumatized patients again in the middle of this month.
Therefore, Meng Zhou has already made plans to temporarily return to Sanchuan Plain in the middle of this month.
But just now, the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone placed in Sanchuan Plain received messages from Gu Ruiming and the Blue Blood Sword Yao Gu from the Pharmacist Branch.
They informed him of the same thing.
At that time, Xuan Lin, the deacon hall master of Qingxuan Sect, and many other senior officials of Qingxuan Sect will be present.
Naturally, their purpose cannot be simply to be curious about his rejuvenating medical skills.
Although the two of them did not tell the group of people their true purpose, Meng Zhou did not have any guesses in his mind.
Not to mention other things, Jade Blood Army, Qiandao Lake, and Wucailing have obtained a large number of fake elixir level spirit puppets from them many times in succession.
Even if all three parties consciously concealed it for him as agreed, the scale was so large that it was no longer something that could be concealed even if one wanted to.
Therefore, Meng Zhou would not be surprised at all if Qingxuanzong came to him because of this matter.
You may even feel that its response speed is too slow - why did you come here!
In addition, there is also the matter of the elixir wine, and Qingxuanzong also knows something about it.
It would not be surprising if Qingxuanzong came to him because of this matter.
Amid such random thoughts, the time came to mid-December.
…
Sanchuan Plateau.
Green Blood Army Station.
Meng Zhou completely healed the last person's soul-injured fake elixir.
During this visit, the Soul Healing Technique gained a total of 23,000 experience points, further advancing its accumulation at the master level.
——Among them, one hundred and forty foundation-building injured patients provide an average of 150 experience points each, and ten fake elixir-injured patients provide an average of 200 experience points each.
"Master of Soul Healing Technique 30,000/120,000"
After the patients who had recovered from their injuries were treated, they left the hospital in an orderly manner under the guidance of dedicated personnel from the Blue Blood Army. This was a common practice in the past.
However, what was different from previous practice was that from the moment Meng Zhou began to diagnose and treat the first patient, a group of monks from the Qingxuan Sect were watching silently.
The leader among them is Xuan Lin, the master of the Deacon Hall, who was the one who presented a jade slip of the Medicine Master's inheritance to Meng Zhou on the 90th anniversary of the Qingxuan Sect.
Because he had close contact with Meng Zhou, Xuan Lin felt particularly deeply when he saw Meng Zhou's flowing movements.
When Meng Zhou finished his diagnosis and treatment and came to meet them, Xuan Lin had already led a group of Qingxuan Sect monks to greet them. The smile on his face was brighter and more sincere than when the two met for the first time.
As Meng Zhou expected, after a brief exchange of greetings, Xuan Lin took the initiative to introduce the fake elixir puppet and elixir wine.
But what surprised Meng Zhou was that although the other party used fake elixir puppets and elixir wine to bring up the topic, their focus was elsewhere, not on these two items themselves.
What needs to be mentioned is that the 24,000 jars of spiritual medicine wine provided by Meng Zhou to the Pharmacist Branch were ten kilograms each, totaling 240,000 kilograms.
Being able to sell out in such a short period of time is not only because it is of excellent quality and can perfectly meet the needs of many monks, but also because it was stuck at a good time.
At that time, the beast tide had not yet officially become a force, but some forces who were quick to seize the opportunity had already formed combat teams and continued to pile up in the outer ring area.
During that special window period, practitioners stood at an advantage compared to monsters.
As a result, a large number of military contributions were made.
At this stage, the most important task of Qingxuan Sect is nothing else. No matter how many results it achieves against the monsters or how many teams it recruits to join the group, it is not the focus.
At that time, Qingxuanzong's greatest concern was to gain widespread recognition of the value of his "military contribution", a thing he had single-handedly created.
To achieve this, the core principle is one:
It can be exchanged for things that can be bought with spirit stones, and it can also be exchanged for things that cannot be bought with spirit stones.
The breadth of its application scenarios determines the value of "military contribution", and this is the core of Qingxuanzong's "control" of other forces.
In order to achieve this goal, Qingxuan Sect not only opened up a large amount of its own resources, allowing other monks to exchange their military contributions.
At the same time, other high-ranking forces will also be included in the system.
One of the key points is the entire professional association.
