Originally there were quite a few Zifu monks in the Zixiao Sect. After several major fusions, there were already about thirty Zifu monks.
After the establishment of Zixiao Sect, a dozen or so Zifu monks emerged, and in the past thirty years, eight more Zifu monks were promoted.
As a result, Zixiao Sect has no less than fifty monks from Zifu alone, and this does not include a few who are far away in East Eagle City.
And even after cultivating to the Zifu stage, these Zifu monks of Zixiao Sect are not slow in their cultivation.
There is this golden elixir monk who often preaches and also has the cultivation experience left by Su Fan.
This point alone is no better than the top sects in Southern Wilderness State.
Secondly, in terms of resources, there is also an endless supply of spiritual pills and spiritual stones, plus various secret techniques.
Therefore, the core disciples’ cultivation speed is very fast.
The past few decades have been enough to improve one or two levels, and even those who practice faster can break through to the third level without any problem.
Those in the original early stage of Zifu have also reached the middle stage of Zifu, and some in the middle stage of Zifu have also been promoted to the late stage of Zifu.
This time, a total of twenty monks from the Zifu were dispatched, and it seemed that their number was not as large as that of the Chen Kingdom.
But these twenty Zifu monks are all in the middle stage of Zifu or above, and even half of them are in the late stage of Zifu.
If not, there were two other people who were preparing to attack the golden elixir, worried about any damage, and they would have come out.
Both of them have golden elixir seeds, one is Lin Tianhe's disciple, and the other is from a hunting team. Of course, the original Yunyang Sect also has several golden elixir seeds.
For example, Tie Zhongtang, Yuntianlai, etc.
These people have all reached the late stage of Zifu, and maybe in ten or twenty years, they will all reach the ninth level of Zifu.
At that time, you can try to attack the golden elixir.
When the time comes, Zixiao Sect's strength will explode again.
Every few decades, the Zixiao Sect's strength will explode by a few points.
This is the foundation.
The foundation of Zixiao Sect is already comparable to the top sect in Southern Wilderness State.
These are the confidence of the senior officials of the Zixiao Sect, and also the confidence of Lu Qingshan, and of course not only the disciples of the Zixiao Sect behind him.
And his own strength.
After thirty years, he finally broke through the barrier and reached the ninth level of the Golden Core. He had not broken through for more than a hundred years.
This breakthrough, allowing him to reach the Nascent Soul stage, may be even greater.
Based on his longevity, he still has seventy or eighty years. If he adds life extension, he can live for at least two more years, which is enough for him to have two or three chances.
As a monk at the ninth level of the Golden Core, he holds three fourth-level high-grade magic weapons. In terms of strength, he has already surpassed the number one person in the Shanngling Sect back then.
It can be said that his strength is ranked number one in the Chen Kingdom. At least no one is his opponent, whether it is the remnants of the Shanling Sect, the Huangfu Family, or the Danhe Sect.
This time, there were four Jindan monks jointly sent by the two major forces of the Chen Kingdom, including one late-stage Jindan monk, two middle-stage Jindan monks and one early-stage Jindan monk.
As for the Zixiao Sect, he was the only one in the late Golden Core stage, two were in the early Golden Core stage, and only Patriarch Zhang had barely reached the middle stage of the Golden Core stage.
Especially the two people who were in the early stage of the Golden Core, whether it was Lin Taihe or Jin Guang, it took less than a hundred years for the two of them to reach the Golden Core stage, and their cultivation level barely reached the second level of the Golden Core.
It's a little worse than Huangfu's third level golden elixir.
But if the eight Jindan monks fight, their Zixiao Sect will definitely have the upper hand.
Because he, Lu Qingshan, could not compare to the seventh-level golden elixir monk from the Danhe Sect. He had to have at least a middle-level golden elixir monk to barely be able to stop him.
Even the two of them are not necessarily his opponents. His combat power, with the blessing of the third-level top magic weapon, makes him even more powerful.
The magic weapon of the late Jin Dan of Danhe Sect is not comparable to that of Lu Qingshan.
Not just anyone can buy a fourth-level high-grade magic weapon. It is not easy for even a Golden Core cultivator to take out hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones at once.
Unless you are that kind of alchemy master.
What's more, these fourth-level high-grade magic weapons can only be purchased in Wu State in Nanhuang Prefecture.
There are no fourth-level high-grade weapon refiners here in Chen State.
The late Jindan cultivator from the Danhe Sect also used a fourth-level mid-grade magical weapon.
Compared with other luxurious fourth-level high-grade products, it is far inferior.
Not only him, but also the other three golden elixir monks of the Zixiao Sect, all have extremely luxurious magical weapons. Even Lin Taihe and Jin Guang, who were in the early stage of the golden elixir, both of them had the best of the third-order mid-grade.
It’s not that there are no fourth-grade high-grade magical instruments. Now, in the last floor of Zixiao Sect’s sect’s treasury, there are more than twenty fourth-grade high-grade magical instruments.
As long as their meritorious deeds are sufficient, any disciple can redeem these magic weapons. Even if you are not a disciple of the Zixiao Sect, you can redeem them as long as you have enough meritorious deeds of the Zixiao Sect.
Except for a few that only the core disciples of the Zixiao Sect could exchange, the rest of the Zixiao Sect also generously took them out.
Especially for magic weapons and elixirs, you can redeem them from level one to level four as long as you have enough merit.
It was also this policy that attracted many casual cultivators to come to Zheng. After all, there were too few sects as generous as Zixiao Sect.
Many casual practitioners are not without money, but they may not be able to buy what they want if they have money.
For example, some casual cultivators were lucky enough to get the cave of their seniors and collect a lot of good things, but many of them were unable to build a foundation.
Because there is no channel to purchase the Foundation Building Pill.
Not all sects can produce as many foundation-building pills as Zheng Guo Zixiao Sect. In most sects, foundation-building pills are always sold domestically.
Give up to 10% to allow those small families to compete with casual cultivators.
The Zixiao Sect is different. Forty percent of the foundation-building pills alone have been obtained by outside monks. Whether they are casual cultivators or small families, they are all at a fair level.
The same is true. Nowadays, in Zheng Guo's immortal world, there have been more and more monks in the foundation-building stage in recent years.
Foundation Building Pill is just one example.
Some other magic weapons, elixirs and treasures can be redeemed only if you have meritorious deeds.
As the Jindan elders of Zixiao Sect, Lin Taihe and Jin Guang's achievements are definitely not bad.
It's just that with their current cultivation level, using a fourth-level high-grade magical weapon consumes too much, and they may not even be able to exert the full power of a fourth-order high-grade magic weapon, resulting in waste.
It is better to use a fourth-level mid-grade magic weapon. Those magic weapons are all refined by that person, and each one is the best among the best.
The power of some attacks is no less than that of the fourth-level high-grade ones.
With these magical weapons, even if his cultivation level is lower, he can still use the power of the magical weapons to fight against monks who are one or two levels higher than them.
So when it comes to fighting, Zixiao Sect will definitely have the advantage.
In fact, it is true that when Lu Qingshan took the lead and stopped the seventh-level golden elixir of the Danhe Sect and the sixth-level golden elixir monk of the Huangfu family.
The remaining three members of the Zixiao Sect always had the upper hand against the other two Chen Guo Jindan monks.
