Chapter 309: Don’t be stingy(1/2)

Under the gazes of Qingtang and Qingyao, the original escape light spanned hundreds of miles of void and landed not far in front of them, revealing the figure of "Qi Huangzi".

After the three of them greeted each other, Qing Yao, whose eyes were fixed on him when "Qi Huangzi" appeared, immediately asked:

"I wonder why your friend came here this time?"

"Qihuangzi" pondered for a moment and then said:

"The beast tide is coming to an end.

Nowadays, many monks use various resources exchanged for military merit, and the main purpose is no longer to deal with the beast tide.

Instead, they took advantage of this convenience to hoard more resources for the future. On the other hand, they also tried their best to monetize their military exploits.

They may be worried that after this window period, if they come to visit with military honors in the future, the Deacon Hall may not be able to look at them seriously.

Therefore, they all want to spend their military power as much as possible.

But as far as I know, almost all the forces have a large amount of military merit in their hands and have never used it. I wonder if you two know the reason?"

"Qihuangzi"'s words made Qingtang and Qingyao a little stunned.

Qingtang couldn't help but think about what "Qihuangzi" said, thinking, yes, why is this?

However, Qing Yao, who thought he had figured out this person's pulse, was too lazy to bother and said directly:

"Fellow Taoist, please speak clearly."

"Qihuangzi" has been in seclusion for more than a year. During this period, he has not had any communication with them. Now he is suddenly summoned to visit. Of course, the purpose is not to solve such a doubt.

Although "Qihuangzi" said this in a questioning tone, Qingyao firmly believed that "Qihuangzi" who asked this question was not a question, but had a definite answer.

Faced with the problem of being kicked back by Qingyao again, "Qihuangzi" chose to hit the ball directly.

"The reason is very simple. Back then, Qingxuan Sect had promised that once the beast tide was over, the outer ring area would be fully developed.

Those first- and second-order spiritual veins located in the outer ring area, which were originally the lairs of monsters, will not be exclusive to Qingxuan Sect, but will be shared with all participants.

In addition, there are many first-level spiritual veins that are qualified to be upgraded to second-level spiritual lands, and there are also several second-level spiritual veins that have the potential to be upgraded to third-level spiritual lands.

Qingxuan Sect will share these gains with all participants after the beast tide is over."

Specifically, who has more and who has less, who drinks soup and who eats meat, other factors are not enough. The only basis is military merit.

When "Qihuangzi" said this, both Qingtang and Qingyao suddenly understood.

They, who had never cared about the specific affairs of the sect, now understood through "Qihuangzi's" words what the purpose of those forces were still holding on to the valuable military achievements.

But soon, new doubts emerged in the minds of the two of them.

What does this have to do with you?

Qingyao looked at "Qihuangzi" and asked curiously: "Fellow Taoist, do you still care about this?"

"Qihuangzi" did not answer Qingyao's question directly, but asked:

"Now, the beast tide has long passed its peak.

Many first- and second-order spiritual veins distributed in the outer ring area have changed from being spread all over the monster community to becoming suitable for practitioners to live in.

Everyone has been eagerly anticipating that Qingxuanzong can fulfill his promise as soon as possible——

Hurry up and divide the pie that needs to be divided, and upgrade the spiritual veins that need to be upgraded as soon as possible, don't waste time."

Having said this, "Qihuangzi" looked at Qingtang and Qingyao and asked:

"Can Qingxuanzong fulfill this promise in a short period of time?"

What does this have to do with you?

Faced with the question of "Qihuangzi", the first thought that came to Qingtang and Qingyao's minds was not the question itself, but that it felt a bit ridiculous.

This "Qihuangzi" is talking about things that have nothing to do with him. It is simply inexplicable.

Could it be that his sudden visit this time was just a simple matter of family?

On the contrary, they were too sensitive and reacted too violently?

Qing Yao began to doubt his initial judgment, and couldn't help but return his thoughts to the question Qing Yao raised.

It seems, it seems...

In a short period of time, Qingxuanzong really couldn't fulfill this promise.

The reason is very simple. There are very few formation masters in Qingxuan Sect who are qualified to preside over the upgrade of a spiritual vein.

——It needs to be mentioned that upgrading a first-level spiritual vein to a second-level spiritual land is no less difficult than upgrading a second-level spiritual vein to a third-level spiritual land.

The two are basically problems of the same difficulty level. For example, if the soul of a foundation-building monk is injured or if the soul of an alchemy monk is injured, it is the same reason that a third-level pharmacist who has mastered the method of healing the soul must take action.

The few Tier 3 formation mages who are qualified for this responsibility are now all requisitioned. They have not returned to Qingxuan Sect for a long time, and there is a high probability that they will not come back for a long time in the future.

Just because they are currently teaming up with a group of ancestors to conduct "mining expeditions" in the other four regions outside the Qingxuan region.

It is still unknown when he will come back. In the near future, how can he have time to upgrade his spiritual veins and fulfill his promise?

Qing Yao could imagine that this would be a big stain on the reputation of Qingxuan Sect.

However, things have priorities, and this is a trade-off that must be made.

Qing Yao was thinking this in his mind, but the next words of "Qi Huangzi" almost broke their waists.

"It seems that you have already figured it out, so... how about leaving this matter to me?" "Qihuangzi" suddenly said.

Silence.

After "Qihuangzi" said these words, the scene fell into a cold and silent atmosphere for a while.

Qingyao and Qingtang not only did not speak, it seemed that their thinking activities also came to a standstill for a moment.

After a while, "Qi Huangzi" spoke again, breaking the somewhat embarrassing silence.

"How is it? What do you think?" "Qihuangzi" asked.

Qing Yao didn't speak, but stared at "Qi Huangzi" with a pair of sharp eyes, as if guarding against his every move.

Qingtang asked directly the confusion in his heart:

"Why? Fellow Taoist, why do you do this?"

"Qihuangzi" said:

"What why? Is there a why here? Because I want to!"

Qingtang shook his head and said:

"Fellow Taoist should know, this is not the reason why I want to know.

As for Senior Brother Qingyao, his formation attainments are no worse than Xuan Xu, who is in charge of the affairs of the Fu Formation Hall.

But he never thought about taking matters into his own hands to complete this matter."

"Qihuangzi" widened his eyes in surprise:

"People are different. I want to do things that Brother Qingyao doesn't want to do. This is normal!"

Qingtang shook his head resolutely again: "It's useless to mess around like this. If there is no reason that can convince us both, then I will tell you clearly that this won't work."

Judging from Qingtang's appearance, she was determined to dig out the real reason behind "Qihuangzi"'s actions.

If she couldn't get this answer, she would rather Qingxuanzong's reputation be damaged than resolutely make this matter dirty.

"Qihuangzi" sighed and shook his head.

"It seems that you haven't thought clearly.

I tell you this in advance out of respect for you and the importance of our relationship.

I don't want you to have unnecessary suspicions after my actions. This is very boring.

Therefore, I came here in advance to make this matter clear to you.

If I have Qingxuan Sect’s cooperation, it will certainly be much more convenient for me, but for Qingxuan Sect, isn’t this also a good thing?”

"Even if you don't agree, I will still do this."

"Besides, what means are you going to use to disagree?

Are you publicly telling me not to upgrade those spiritual veins?

Or are you trying to stop me in front of me?"

After dropping a bunch of words that made Qingtang and Qingyao feel their veins tingling, "Qihuangzi" didn't stop for a moment and turned around to get away.

On the top of the peak, after "Qihuangzi" left for a long time, the suddenly inexplicably tense atmosphere slowly softened.

The two of them also woke up from their inexplicable state of confusion. They both felt baffled and unbelievable about the scene that had just happened.

Some of the words "Qihuangzi" said made the two of them feel heartbroken, as if someone had kicked them hard in the heart.

How long had it been since they had had such an experience?

It can be said that since they lived in Qinglin Peak as victors a hundred years ago and became the "ancestors" of Qingxuan Sect, there has been no such thing.

Even when facing the other four sect ancestors, no matter what he thinks in his heart, based on his recognition of the opponent's ability, which can be said to be fear, he still manages to maintain "a harmony" on the surface.
