The victory in the gambling battle greatly boosted our own morale.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin, Meng Wenxing and other foundation-building monks all stared at each other closely.
The body secretly tensed up to prevent the other party from turning against him at this moment.
But if I say fear, it is much less than before.
After all, the opponent has no formation cover at this time, and the strength of our own team leader exceeds that of the opponent's team leader.
Even if a conflict occurs, our side will always be on the side with absolute advantage.
Under the general situation, he couldn't help himself. Zhuo Mengzhen had a complicated look in his eyes. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only reply:
"Since fellow Taoist Qingyang is so impatient, there is nothing wrong with cashing in on the bet now."
As the team leader, she still has a strong attitude when facing her opponents, but underneath her apparent strength, there is a sense of helplessness.
After all, this is a world where strength speaks for itself. When one's own strength is not as good as the other's, and one's own strength is also not as good as the other's, there is really not much room for choice.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuo thinks so, Liu is very pleased."
"I hope things won't happen again that make both parties unhappy."
"Otherwise, the magic weapon is ruthless and will inevitably damage the harmony, and then it will not end well."
Liu Yu looked serious and said coldly, with a hint of threat in his words. He was not polite at all at this time.
In the face of real interests, any hypocritical politeness is useless.
What's more, at this point, both sides can be said to have torn away the fig leaf, and there is no need to talk about what is and is not.
Zhuo Mengzhen's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this, and veins appeared on the palms of his yellow sleeves, but then he could only loosen his grip.
Now that they are falling out, the chance of winning is less than 30%. Of course she will not do such a stupid thing.
After Liu Yu finished speaking, regardless of what the other cultivators thought, he casually ordered Zhao Mingcheng of the Zhao family to still leave the Liujin Stone Mine to the Zhao family for management.
The team cannot stay here for a long time, and there are not enough manpower now.
Naturally, most of the resource points can only be handed over to local immortal cultivating families or forces to take care of.
After the battle of Yan Kingdom is over, the sect will send monks to take it over.
Of course, in order to prevent these immortal cultivating families and forces from taking advantage of this opportunity to make huge profits, it is indispensable to send out sect disciples to supervise.
With the support of Yuanyang Sect, even if only one Qi Refining Stage monk is sent, it is enough to supervise the operation of resource points and at least have a certain say.
After Liu Yu's words were spoken, although Zhuo Mengzhen and his party were "like an arrow to return home", in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, they could only stand where they were.
I just felt a little restless and felt extremely uncomfortable.
If you take this opportunity to launch an attack, you really have a chance to kill them all at a relatively small cost and swallow up all the territory of the opponent team.
However, behind the opponent is Hehuanmen, and occupying it does not mean that it can be digested.
If you really want to make such a move at this time, the sect may not necessarily be on your side.
Not only will there be no merit, but you may be severely punished.
Moreover, the interests of the sect are not equal to his own interests, so Liu Yu would naturally not do such a thing.
He is happy to see the sect grow stronger, but he will never sacrifice his own interests to help the sect.
Although Liu Yu rarely manages specific chores, Jiang Qiushui will report to him every once in a while.
It's not a stranger after all.
Although the temporary arrangement is not perfect, it is still well organized.
After a while, the matter regarding the Liujin stone veins was already well arranged.
"Yes, I will obey the order of fellow Taoist Qingyang."
"Thank you Taoist fellow for giving the Zhao family another chance to make meritorious deeds. The Zhao family will definitely go all out to live up to the high expectations of fellow Taoist Qingyang."
Zhao Mingcheng was overjoyed, bent down deeply and said sincerely.
He is also willing to hand over the mine to the Zhao family, which means that he really does not intend to hold the Zhao family responsible for the loss of the mine.
This made his anxious heart finally calm down.
At the same time, I was moved and secretly vowed to take good care of the mine and not miss this opportunity.
As the saying goes, "A scholar will die for a confidant." The team leader's ability to understand the Zhao family's difficulties is truly valuable in today's turbulent world of immortality.
A team leader who can be considerate of his subordinates is truly worthy of loyalty.
"Okay, let's go down and make arrangements."
Liu Yu waved his hand and said casually.
Of course he didn't know what Zhao Mingcheng was thinking. This move was just like "buying horse bones for a thousand dollars" and was purely for show.
"As you command!"
Zhao Mingcheng respectfully accepted the order, and then hurriedly walked towards the mine with the Zhao family monks. It seemed that he couldn't wait to show off.
Because there was no real full-scale war, the mine as a whole was relatively well-preserved.
The thousands of mortals among them were generally safe and sound. At this time, some people were quietly poking their heads out.
Soon, there were shouts and scolds.
No matter who is the owner of this mine, they must start working normally and their fate will not change in any way.
"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Zhuo."
"Those three resource points are close to the Liujin Stone Mine, only a few dozen miles apart. The handover can be completed today."
Liu Yu withdrew her gaze and said a few words to Zhuo Mengzhen.
Then, without waiting for the woman's response, he took off the Guiyuan boat and ordered his monks to board the boat.
On the same spot, Zhuo Mengzhen's expression changed.
As proud as she was, she had never been so slighted before, and she felt a strong sense of shame in her heart.
No matter what the outcome was, she would never forget this monk who made her so embarrassed and failed her.
"Senior Sister Zhuo~"
Seeing the senior sister standing still, the female cultivator in pink skirt whispered a reminder, but did not dare to say more.
Today she finally understood what it was like to be with a king like a tiger.
Zhuo Mengzhen woke up with a start, snorted coldly, and took out the flying magic weapon of Hehuanmen.
It was a yellow flying boat, with a dark yellow color throughout.
The appearance is much more refined than that of Guiyuanzhou, but the overall appearance is similar except for the color and logo.
Limited by the known level of weapon refining skills in the world of immortality, the structure of Guiyuan Zhou is almost the most reasonable structure for this type of customized large-scale flying magic weapon.
It's not that improvements can't be made, it's just that compared to the cost of renovation, it's not cost-effective.
After all, this is just a special and top-quality magic weapon for transporting monks in the Qi Refining Stage. Even the escape speed of the monks in the early stage of Foundation Establishment cannot be matched, and it is not worth spending so much money to modify.
This is also related to the overall level of the civilization of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and even the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World.
The ancient glory was eventually buried over time.
Today's monks can only imagine the heyday of the civilization that cultivated immortals from a few passages in ancient books!
Hehuanmen's special flying boat instrument is called "Yin Yang Boat".
It means "wonderful yin and yang". This name really fits the style of his sect.
Looking at the rising "Yin Yang Boat", Liu Yu's thoughts were running wild, and for some reason she thought of the ancient times.
He shook his head, got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and used his magic to control Gui Yuanzhou to fly towards the nearest resource point.
The three resource points used as "bets" in the gambling battle are certainly not randomly selected.
They are all located next to your own team's territory, adjacent to the Liujin Stone vein, and are relatively easy to manage.
If you only look at value, there will be more resource points to choose from.
But so what, it doesn't make any sense.
If it is an "enclave" that is not adjacent to the territory, it is extremely difficult to manage, and even if it is obtained, it is impossible to truly own it.
Maybe the monk assigned to manage it will "mysteriously die" within a few days, and no news will come, and it will eventually fall into the hands of the Hehuan Sect.
Only resource points bordering the site can truly form effective control and reduce management costs.
The three resource points are all within fifty miles of the Liujin Stone Mine. The "Guiyuan Zhou" and "Yin Yang Zhou" did not fly long before they reached their destinations.
The first resource point - "Jinhua Mountain Spiritual Medicine Garden".
In the sky above the second-level Lingshan Jinhua Mountain, two spiritual boats, one red and one yellow, stopped at the same time.
The huge movement also alerted the monks stationed in the elixir garden. The protective formations were quickly activated, and they were obviously very vigilant.
Jinhua Mountain is so close before our eyes that it cannot be changed. If we procrastinate, we will look like we cannot afford to lose.
Soon, Zhuo Mengzhen sent the pink-skirted female cultivator to negotiate and called out all the cultivators in the elixir garden.
After some arrangements, all the monks in the Spiritual Medicine Garden boarded the Yin-Yang Boat, and the formations were dismantled and taken away.
Liu Yu didn't take it seriously, it was normal.
After all, the bet only stipulates resource points, and the formation is private property and is no longer within the scope of the bet.
Given the relationship between the two parties, the other party certainly does not want to "capitalize the enemy".
Seeing that all the monks at the Hehuan Gate of the Jinhua Mountain Spiritual Medicine Garden had evacuated, Liu Yu arranged for a local small sect to take care of it at Jiang Qiushui's suggestion.
This kind of small elixir garden had already been raided once when Hehuanmen took over, so there is no way there is still any oil or water in it.
Among them, the mature or rare spiritual herbs have already been moved away or put into the monks' pockets.
Liu Yu was not interested and went in to "visit" and "inspect the goods."
The foundation-building monks of the small sect naturally accepted the order happily. They received a set of second-level low-grade formations from Jiang Qiu, a sailor, and quickly left the flying boat with more than a dozen Qi-refining stage monks in their sect.
From then on, they were responsible for guarding the elixir garden here.
In order to prevent monks from coveting it, any resource point must have a means of protection, and most of these means are formations.
After seizing the resource points from Baiyunguan, the original formation cannot be used, but at least it needs to be modified to prevent enemy monks from unknowingly touching it.
But how rare are the monks who know the art of formation?
Due to various considerations, the sect later prepared ten sets of second-level formations for each team for emergency use.
The second-level formation is very rare for ordinary monks, but for large sects like Yuanyang Sect, it is much simpler.
However, in order to prevent the occurrence of corruption, every use of these second-order formations must be reported to the sect afterwards, and supervising monks will be sent to check afterward.
But there are so many resource points along the way, and ten sets of second-order formations are certainly not enough.
Therefore, in normal times, it is better to report it to the sect, and the sect will send monks to arrange it.
Only when encountering precious resource points or special circumstances, will the ten sets of second-order formations issued in advance be used.
The current situation is undoubtedly a special situation. The newly acquired resource point is directly adjacent to the Hehuanmen site.
Without the protection of the formation, the monks stationed there would not be able to feel at ease no matter what.
And maybe one day, there will be a change of ownership.
Jiang Qiushui saw that the formation was quickly placed, and the spiritual light quickly illuminated the medicine garden, and he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
On the map, Jinhua Mountain Spiritual Medicine Garden is painted light red.
The territory occupied by the main force of the sect is red, and the territory occupied by the team is light red.
As this stroke fell, the light red area suddenly expanded outward, adding a small area.
Jinhua Mountain is the only second-level spiritual mountain and resource point within a radius of more than ten miles.
According to the rules agreed during the war, the territory is divided based on the resource points of the immortal world.
Not only is the Jinhua Mountain Spiritual Medicine Garden owned by the Yuanyang Sect, but the dozen or so miles around Jinhua Mountain are also owned by the Yuanyang Sect.
Including but not limited to land, mortals, cities, etc.
Liu Yu withdrew his gaze from Jinhua Mountain, cast a few spells to control Gui Yuanzhou, and headed to the next resource point.
There is no sloppiness and the purpose is very clear.
But at this time, the "Yin Yang Boat" was dragging its feet, moving very slowly, and seemed to be very reluctant.
Liu Yu was very patient at this time and controlled Gui Yuanzhou to slow down and lead the way with a very determined attitude.
The foundation-building monks and some Qi-refining monks stood on the deck, expanding their territory without fighting to the death. All the monks were relatively happy and whispered among themselves.
At least, that's how it looks on the surface.
The sound was quite noisy, but considering the current situation, Liu Yu did not say anything to stop it.
Suddenly, he calmly looked towards the Yin Yang Boat, and Zhuo Mengzhen happened to look over as well.
There is no need to speak for spiritual communication, the movements of the mouth are just habits. The communication between the two is very secret, and no monk has discovered it.
Liu Yu thought for a moment, then turned around and told Jiang Qiushui and Leng Yuexin to take all the monks into the cabin.
Soon, he was the only one left on the deck.
"I am here to make a deal with fellow Taoist Qingyang about the copper veins."
Zhuo Mengzhen piloted the spiritual weapon to land on the deck of Guiyuanzhou, waved his hand and arranged a soundproof shield, and spoke proactively before Liu Yu could speak.
She did not humble herself because of her defeat, she still had the pride of being a direct descendant of the Hehuan Sect.
Only this time, the tone was quite polite.
"oh?"
"This copper vein is worth a lot of money, almost equivalent to half of the Liujin stone vein."
"Can Fellow Daoist Zhuo afford the price for using it to trade?"
"What's more, this mine is owned by the sect. Only the sect can decide whether to trade. What if Liu doesn't agree to the transaction?"
Liu Yu smiled, half-smiling but not smiling.
The interests of the sect are not the same as your own interests.
If he could use this copper vein to exchange for some spiritual objects that he could use, he would certainly be willing.
The reason why he answered so rudely was because he didn't want this woman to take the initiative.
Protecting the Liujin Stone vein and obtaining two resource points for the sect can be regarded as fulfilling the obligations of the sect disciples.
Liu Yu thought that having reached this point, he had already lived up to his sect, so he used the copper veins to trade without any guilt.
Immortality is noble, and his own interests are above all else!
"I wonder if Fellow Taoist Qingyang is interested in the secret movement technique I used in the previous fight?"
With that said, Zhuo Mengzhen didn't talk nonsense and directly threw a yellowed booklet with half of it missing.
