Chapter 247 On the eve of returning to the clan (two chapters in one)
In Elder Yan's view, although Zhou Quan is older than himself, his cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Golden Core, and he has lost the possibility of further advancement.
But after all, he is a veteran golden elixir monk.
Since the war has ceased and each sect can only send one Jindan monk to garrison the Cold Mist Lingshi Mine, there is no problem in restraining each other to maintain the "deserved" interests of the sects.
Having worked together for one or two hundred years, Elder Yan knows this "old partner" very well.
Even though Zhou Quan is now living an honest life in Wangyue City, it wasn't always like this at the beginning.
Isn't it because the Yan family has been operating in Wangyue City for a long time, and his cultivation level is higher than his, and he has been beaten several times, and he has become the "easy" person he is now?
Therefore, the sect general Zhou Quan was assigned to the Lingshi Mine, and Elder Yan readily agreed.
I believe that after two hundred years of mutual understanding, he should know what can and cannot be done, and dare not touch the interests of the Yan family.
"Senior brother Yan, don't worry, I will definitely live up to the sect's trust!"
"I will do my best here to safeguard the interests that the sect deserves. These juniors of the sect will also be taken good care of."
Elder Zhou was relatively thin. Hearing the words, a smile appeared on his face and he looked kind-hearted, but there seemed to be a deeper meaning in his words.
After hearing the desired answer, Elder Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Then his lips moved and his spiritual consciousness conveyed a few words to Yan Hongyu, asking her to teach her well, control Yan Quer, and let her experience the "reality" of the world of immortality.
The others had already told Yan Hongyu before they came, so there was no need to say anything more at this time, so Elder Yan and Elder Zhou nodded to each other.
The matter of stationed monks was settled in just a few words.
Now that the matter of the Lingshi Mine has been decided, and the five major sects have reached a consensus from top to bottom, the war that has spread across the immortal world of Chu has ended.
After arranging the monks who were to stay and garrison the Lingshi Mine, directly in the direction of Piaoxue Pavilion, two magic weapons with a size of several tens of feet rose into the sky, each carrying some of the elite disciples of the sect back.
As for those monks who did not take this "hitchhiking" trip, they had no choice but to return slowly.
Liu Yu looked up and saw the true appearance of the two magic weapons.
One magic weapon is a thin light yellow ribbon, and the other magic weapon is the red embroidered building that I saw before.
Many beautiful female nuns were standing in their blouses with light yellow colored ribbons. Their skirts were blown up by the rising wind, revealing many charming scenery.
This scene was fleeting, but happened to be seen by many monks who raised their heads. Some monks did not look back until the magic weapon was far away.
After there was movement in Piaoxue Pavilion, there was movement in other Qingxu Sect and Hehuanmen, and magic weapons rose into the sky one after another.
This shocked many casual cultivators and small family cultivators who had never seen the world. After this experience, I believe they can brag about it for many years to come back.
It is worth mentioning that before leaving, the four golden elixir monks from Cangyue Valley and Yuanyang Sect gathered together to say goodbye in a distance.
Although when it came to the interests of the sect, they refused to give in. Just now they were so quarrelsome that their faces turned red.
But given the current situation in Chu State, it is still necessary to have good relations between the two sects.
Everyone knows this.
After bidding farewell to the group in Waning Moon Valley, Elder Yan also prepared to return to Wangyue City.
So after he said goodbye to Elder Zhou, he immediately took off and flew in the air. He was several miles away in an instant and turned into a black dot on the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Liu Yu and others did not have the privilege of riding the magic weapon this time, so they could only return to Wangyue City with the coalition monks from Qingzhou.
What should be explained has been explained, and most of the monks from the five major sects began to leave one after another.
The remaining garrisoned monks, led by their respective Jindan elders, gathered around the mine to discuss the matter of mining the Cold Mist Spirit Stone Mine.
The benefits of a medium-sized spirit stone mine are enough for the Five Greats to devote all their efforts to developing this place.
I believe that before long, a large formation covering an extremely wide area will be erected, and many mortals and casual cultivators and miners will also be transported here.
During the Qi refining period, monks and mortals cannot completely abstain from grains, and still need to eat, drink, and defecate. Around these, another round of construction needs to be carried out.
Perhaps, it won't take long for a city to be built here?
A huge city comparable to Wangyue City and Sky City! It is just jointly controlled by five sects.
Liu Yu's thoughts were scattered and she thought about many things.
After he came to his senses, he saw Zhao Wuji, Zhou Zhuofeng, Li Bu and other high-prestige people gathered together to discuss the matter of returning to Wangyue City.
The "Qingzhou Allied Force" organized by the Yuanyang Sect, composed of disciples of the sect and monks sent by affiliated forces, plus casual cultivators recruited, totaled nearly 10,000 people.
If so many monks return to Wangyue City in a chaotic manner, some bad situations will inevitably occur on the way.
If they were slightly provoked by someone with ulterior motives, a melee might break out with heavy casualties. This was a situation that the Yuanyang Sect did not want to see.
After some deliberation, Zhao Wuji, Zhou Zhuofeng and the others finally decided that the Yuanyang Sect's foundation-building monks would "escort" the coalition forces all the way back to Wangyue City to avoid any accidents.
Several well-known monks with high prestige made the decision together. Naturally, the other foundation-building monks of Yuanyang Sect had no objections. After all, the two elders had authorized Zhao Wuji and Zhou Zhuofeng, and their status was slightly higher than that of ordinary foundation-building monks.
The monks are two steps ahead.
The opinions within the Yuanyang Sect are unified, and the affiliated forces and casual cultivators naturally cannot raise objections unless they have "ulterior motives."
So, the matter was settled like this.
Due to the uneven quality of monks in the coalition, there is a huge gap in the monks' cultivation.
Most of them are in the middle or higher stages of Qi refining, but there are still a small number who are only in the early stages of Qi refining.
These monks were either casual cultivators or monks from small families, and were sent to the battlefield for various reasons.
Taking them with them would undoubtedly greatly slow down the return to Moon Moon City, but the sect had already anticipated this situation, and the two return ships were prepared for these monks with low cultivation levels.
As the two Yuanyang Sect's Guiyuan Boats soared into the sky, under the leadership of the Yuanyang Sect monks headed by Zhao Wuji and Zhou Zhuofeng, thousands of escaping lights from the Qingzhou coalition flew into the sky.
At this time, night has enveloped this severely damaged forest, and the scene is just like the stars flying in the sky!
Red, blue, yellow...
The various colors of light are like a huge meteor shower. From a distance, it is a beautiful picture.
Looking down from a high altitude, you can see countless stars shining in the night sky, like colorful fireflies.
Another example is the salute that Liu Yu saw in his previous life. After a loud noise, it spread in all directions.
The only difference is that these lights are never willing to dissipate easily.
In the blink of an eye, the open space became quiet and much emptier.
There are only traces of fighting all over the ground, recording the trauma this land has suffered.
Maybe it won’t be long before these traces will be eliminated; maybe with the establishment of the city, the forest will gradually decrease; maybe with the decrease of the forest, this land will no longer be suitable for some creatures and beasts——
Survive.
…
On the way back to Wangyue City, the Qi Refining Stage disciples of the Yuanyang Sect were divided into combat teams in advance, and each team flew not far from each other.
The family monks unite as a family unit, and the small sects and small forces also take care of each other as their own units. As for the casual cultivators, they are limited to a certain range and work on their own.
The escaping light in the night sky stretches hundreds of feet from left to right, which looks quite spectacular.
Liu Yu landed at the end, leisurely admiring the scenery of the Kermir Plain and the night sky.
Due to the need to accommodate the flying speed of these Qi Refining Stage monks and to maintain a certain order, the speed inevitably slowed down.
The coalition monks could only travel eighty miles almost every hour, and they might stop for various reasons, and the Kermir Plain was more than 1,500 miles away from Wangyue City.
Counting the time that the monks in the Qi Refining Period needed to stop and recover their mana, it took nearly two days for tens of thousands of monks to arrive at Wangyue City. This was the result of Zhao Wuji and Zhou Zhuofeng's tough orders.
Fortunately, during the Qi refining period, it is okay for a cultivator to stay up for ten and a half days without sleeping. It would have been even longer if he had not been on the road.
Although the war is over, it is not without the possibility of recurrence due to interest disputes. Therefore, the Qingzhou Allied Forces must not be disbanded immediately.
The order issued by the Presbyterian Council was to wait and see for a while until the situation was completely stabilized before disbanding the Qingzhou Allied Forces.
Before that, we must find a way to arrange these coalition monks into Wangyue City and maintain order.
This is a considerable benefit for many casual cultivators and small families. After all, the concentration of spiritual energy in Wangyue City is not low, and ordinary cultivators have to pay spiritual stones when entering and staying in the city.
But now that they have entered as "Allied Monks", they have the charter of the Presbyterian Council and do not need to pay this spiritual stone while on standby.
However, how to place these people is a problem for the city lord's palace, and has little to do with Liu Yu and other ordinary foundation-building monks.
After arriving at Wangyue City, the city guards of the city lord's palace were responsible for maintaining order.
All the foundation-building monks on the coalition side entered the city first. As soon as they entered, they received an order from the Council of Elders to summon the monks to the main hall of the city lord's palace.
"Has the time here in Wangyue City finally come to an end?"
Liu Yu thought silently in his heart.
If the guess is correct, the gathering of the Elders Council should be nothing major. It is just to give some instructions on how to deal with the aftermath, and to appease the monks from the affiliated forces. There will be no more weird tasks.
As soon as the situation is completely stabilized, the coalition monks will be disbanded.
After all, the long-term transfer of the power of the affiliated forces in the south of Qingzhou is not conducive to local stability, and a stable Qingzhou is what the Yuanyang Sect wants to see.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu walked straight towards the City Lord's Mansion, and soon arrived at the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Compared with the last time I came, the layout of the main hall has changed slightly.
The most obvious thing is that there are only five of the six Taishi chairs above the steps, probably because the Zhou Presbyterian Church has been stationed at the Lingshi Mine for a long time; while there are more chairs on both sides under the steps.
Who dares to neglect the orders of the Presbyterian Church?
Liu Yu and other foundation-building monks received the notice as soon as they entered the city and rushed over without stopping.
More than two hundred foundation-building monks rushed into the hall and were divided into left and right seats according to the default rules. At this time, there were one hundred and twenty-three foundation-building monks from Yuanyang Sect and about ninety foundation-building monks from affiliated forces.
"The big waves wash away the sand."
Liu Yu sighed slightly.
He learned through Yan Hongyu that the sect attached great importance to the Hanwu Lingshi Mine.
There were almost two hundred foundation-building monks sent over, but now there are only more than one hundred and twenty people left. It is obvious where the rest have gone.
As for the total number of foundation-building monks from the affiliated forces, there are almost two hundred people, and now there are less than one hundred, which is even more shocking.
When some monks from a small family in the Foundation Establishment Period saw this situation, worry and uneasiness flashed in their eyes.
Of course, for the sect, all this was worthwhile, as it increased the sect's bargaining chip in the final negotiations, resulting in the final share exceeding that of the Qingxu Sect and the Waning Moon Valley Sect.
Since the elders had not arrived yet, the monks in the temple began to talk about it.
The atmosphere gradually became warmer, as if the war had gone away and the monks had taken off a shackles and became more relaxed.
Liu Yu entered the palace and scanned briefly. Different from meeting Li, Zhou Zhuofeng, Zhuang Shilong and others greeted him. Then he found Cui Liang, who was more familiar with him, and settled down next to him.
Although he doesn't like to be hypocritical and polite in public situations, some normal communication is still necessary. After all, immortal cultivators also have seven emotions and six desires, and many things are not exempt from vulgarity.
If you don't pay attention to these things, you will encounter many obstacles when your strength has not reached a certain level.
And it is through communication that a lot of useful information can be obtained. For example, Liu Yu was interested in the specific battle situation at Hanwu Camp, so he asked Cui Liang.
Cui Liang, like Liu Yu in the past, was a monk without a backer, and they were from the same sect, so naturally they had a certain affinity for him.
When Liu Yu asked about this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke slowly.
According to Cui Liang's account, the situation at Hanwu Camp was extremely dangerous, and one could lose one's life if one were not careful. Fortunately, he was strong and adaptable, but he also experienced a near-death experience, and was able to save one life.
Liu Yu listened carefully, and based on Cui Liang's description, he sketched the specific scene in his mind. It was indeed extremely dangerous, and even the foundation-building monks were in great danger.
As for what Cui Liang later boasted about "fighting bravely" and "killing the enemy bravely," he automatically filtered it out and laughed without saying a word.
During the conversation, Liu Yu revealed that he had been able to refine Jingyuan Dan.
"Junior Brother Liu, we have known each other for many years, and we are both..."
This made Cui Liang's mustache twitch, and a bright smile instantly appeared on his face. He stalked Liu Yu and asked Liu Yu to sell him pills at a cheaper price in the future.
After several shirks, Liu Yu was reluctant to do anything, and finally seemed to be persuaded, so she "helplessly" made the promise.
Let him go to the Jade Pill Hall to buy it in a few years. A bottle of Jingyuan Pill can be sold to him every two years at the price of four hundred and twenty spirit stones per bottle.
"Senior Brother Cui, this price is based on our long-term friendship. You can't earn a few spiritual stones at all. Other monks never have this price."
"Senior Brother Cui must keep this secret from other fellow disciples."
As if the long-standing friendship really existed, Liu Yu spoke seriously.
Cui Liang thought he had benefited, and was very happy. He also wanted to maintain a relationship with Liu Yu, so he naturally patted his chest and agreed.
Judging from his serious appearance, it seems that swearing an oath to the inner demon is not a problem.
At this moment, there was a sudden silence in the hall.
Liu Yu suddenly looked towards the palace door.
I saw Elder Yan, Elder Sun in front, and three guest elders behind. The five of them walked into the hall and sat on the five Taishi chairs.
…
Half an hour later, Liu Yu left the main hall of the city lord's palace, said goodbye to Cui Liang and walked towards his cave.
The content of the elder's summons was not unexpected, it was indeed some words of care and comfort.
Perhaps taking into account the growing sentiment for return among the "Qingzhou United Army", the Presbyterian Church gave an exact time of three months.
