"Although Purple Stone is precious, it does not have much benefit to our Lichen Sect."
"Not much benefit?"
Su Qiu said with a noncommittal smile: "Junior brother, what you said is easy. If Yishan Sect adds another Yuan Shen realm, it will really become a nuisance. With two great Yuan Shen real people sitting in charge, even I, the Lichen Sect, dare not
act rashly."
"How can the Yishan Sect dare to easily lure a wolf into the house?"
Zhuang Wudao didn't care, staring boredly at the Feng River beside him.
"Using this Ziying Mine as bait to attract one or two real Yuanshen Sect will only make it easier for our Li Chen Sect. As far as I know, there are people in Tianyi who want to establish a sect, but they have no financial resources.
Loose cultivators of Yuanshen can be found everywhere. There are also many small sects that want to expand their sects, and many of them have Yuanshen sitting in charge."
Su Qiu didn't react for a while, but after a long while, he finally came to his senses: "Wudao, do you mean to use the Ziying Mine to drive away tigers and devour wolves?"
"It is the fight between two tigers that is why our Lichen Sect's forces have entered Soochow in a large scale. It is not for this small corner of Soochow, but because the Yishan Sect has been gaining momentum recently and has the ability to threaten our sect's hegemony in the southeast.
The purpose of supporting Dinghai Gong is roughly the same."
When Zhuang Wudao said this, his eyes were still indifferent: "There is only one Yishan Sect in the south of Soochow. Naturally, I, the Lichen Sect, regard it as a thorn in my side. But if there are two Yishan Sects, I don't know what they are.
What kind of scene?"
"It's the plaything in my palm"
Before Zhuang Wudao finished speaking, Su Qiu interrupted with a smile and patted Zhuang Wudao's shoulder affectionately: "But you are really willing to give up. The amethyst mine worth tens of millions of square meters, you just don't want it.
.”
"In my opinion, what the Lichen Sect lacks now is not resources. Just one Tiannan Linhai is more than enough to supply the entire sect. What it lacks now is not financial resources, but enough Jindan cultivators and more Yuan Shen cultivators.
, a more outstanding disciple is the right one.”
Zhuang Wudao secretly felt helpless and didn't believe this truth. Su Qiuhui couldn't understand it.
"Although this amethyst mine is good, but if it is poisonous, then don't forget about it. Instead of entangled with the Yishan Sect here, it is better to focus on restoring the old land of the East China Sea. What if we give this place to them? Xiao Xiao
Can the small sect still monopolize it? Purple Qiong Jade Liquid is just one of the materials for the Jade Cauldron Pill. There is only one sect in the southeast that has the strength to refine this pill. Who can they sell it to in the end? Isn’t it?
Are you going to be exploited by me, Lichen?"
The Yishan Sect is a tough one, but there is no powerful sect overseas. With the current strength of the Lichen Sect, it can easily bring the entire East China Sea under its jurisdiction again.
One loss and one gain are better than an amethyst mine.
"Junior brother is so brave!"
Su Qiu's eyes finally showed appreciation: "I just thought that this amethyst mine, even if it is given to the Yishan Sect, cannot be easily disrupted, but you have already figured out how to build a nest to attract bees.
It is a strategy for tigers to fight against each other. Unexpectedly, junior brother, in addition to your amazing achievements in swordsmanship, you are also very talented. A hundred years from now, if the Lichen Sect can be taken over by you, junior brother, it will definitely prosper in the world."
"Senior Brother Su, you are really ridiculous."
Zhuang Wudao smiled bitterly. What kind of talent does Zhuang Wudao have? He just knows the right way to choose.
When the Lichen Sect has not yet returned to its heyday, there is no need to fight to the death with the Yishan Sect for a piece of amethyst ore that is less than a thousand miles away.
"It's a pity that the policy is a good policy, but you and I may not be able to achieve what we want-"
Su Qiu shook her head and looked into the distance: "I'm afraid those people in the west may not think the same as you and me."
Zhuang Wudao suddenly realized that what Su Qiu was referring to should be the two branches of Mingcuifeng and Huangjifeng.
In recent years, the disciples accepted in two consecutive competitions have all become disciples of these two sects. Each family has tens of thousands of inner sect disciples in the Qi training realm, so Erfeng's savings over the past few decades have been almost exhausted.
Among the two major peaks, there are dozens of foundation-building peak cultivators who are counting on the Jade Cauldron Pill to reach the next level.
If they heard that there was a purple quartzite mine in Dongli Kingdom, they would probably not give up easily.
In fact, he said that there is still plenty of resources within the Lichen Sect, but he is actually just sitting and talking without pain. Xuanling Mountain is huge, and there are more than 20 Jindan. Over the years, the resources divided among the sect are often the most generous, and it is close to the sky.
In Nan Linhai, the disciples have a lot of extra money. They have accumulated it over the years, so they never feel that the resources of elixirs and spiritual weapons are lacking.
Therefore, all monks from the Xuanling Mountain lineage are unwilling to start a war lightly from the bottom of their hearts.
However, the other peaks of Lichen may not think so. Different positions lead to different opinions.
"This matter ultimately depends on Lichen Benshan's decision. There is no use staying here any longer. Let's go."
With a roll of Su Qiu's magic power, he picked up the three people in the distance. As for Zhuang Wudao, Su Qiu didn't pay attention to it.
Seven hundred miles south, he already knew that Zhuang Wudao's magnetic escape speed had surpassed that of an ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.
And just when the two of them had just lifted off the ground and flown to an altitude of 300 feet, Zhuang Wudao suddenly heard a loud beast roar next to his ears. A huge wave of strong wind, like a roaring wave.
He came over from the opposite side of the river.
Within twenty miles, all the trees, flowers and plants along the way were bent. The river downwind was even lowered by a full three feet.
Zhuang Wudao's body was also suffocated, and he sank down, looking at the opposite river bank in astonishment.
It was early in the morning, and it was unclear what was going on. Zhuang Wudao could only see two huge silver eyes, glaring this way in the night. A huge pressure followed.
"Demon cultivator?"
Zhuang Wudao's face was slightly cold. Just looking at the height of his pupils, he knew that this demon cultivator was at least seven hundred feet long.
But it appeared and disappeared. In just a blink of an eye, the silver giant pupils were gone.
Su Qiu, who was walking with a sword in front, also stopped and looked over with a calm expression, but not much surprise.
Zhuang Wudao was puzzled at first, then his heart moved slightly, and he asked curiously: "Senior brother, do you recognize this monster?
"You have been in Yuecheng for so long and you don't know?"
Su Qiu was rather surprised: "That is a third-level Moon Shadow Bear, the demon overlord of this area of 12,000 miles away. Junior brother, have you never heard of it?"
Zhuang Wudao suddenly felt ashamed. He really didn't know that there was such a third-level demon cultivator in the south of Yue City, near the border of Dongli Kingdom.
It's just because he has been hanging out in Yuecheng since he followed his mother south. He is considered a local snake near Yuecheng. The second-order monsters nearby are well known. There is no way to know the situation further away.
"This monster calls itself Taoist Yue Xiong. It is a third-level peak monster that lives on the bank of the Fenghe River. It was once ranked within a thousand on the Tianji Monument Monster List, but its strength is only in the Yuanshen realm and those of the fourth level.
Among the monsters, it is the best in the southeast. Whenever the moon rises at night, the monster's combat power will be greatly improved. It is said that on a full moon night, it can almost fight with Yuanshen cultivators without losing.
All demon cultivators within a thousand miles radius obey his orders, including Yue City."
After Su Qiu finished speaking, he said thoughtfully: "The appearance this time should be mostly a warning. It is probably because my Xuanling Mountain lineage is stationed in Wuming Mountain, which makes Taoist Yue Xiong feel uneasy. This matter
I'll take care of it later. It shouldn't matter, my Lichen Sect has no ambitions towards its lair."
"I see"
Zhuang Wudao suddenly realized that he had been wondering before that the Lichen Sect had not eliminated the second-level monsters near Yuecheng. For the Lichen Sect, it should be an easy task.
Now it seems that the Lichen Sect should be wary of Taoist Yue Xiong. A third-level demon cultivator, the Lichen Sect has not taken it seriously. However, when suppressing the Yishan Sect in front, if he provokes a strong enemy, that is
Unwise.
The position Su Qiu mentioned was probably to achieve a tacit understanding with the Moon Shadow Bear.
※※※※
After returning to Wuming Mountain, Zhuang Wudao chose a relatively gentle place near the top of the mountain and built another small building.
Originally, it would have taken at least a day or two with his own efforts. However, with Su Qiu's help, a building was erected on the top of the mountain in only about an hour.
It is neat and tidy, nothing surprising. It is three stories high and the area is not large, only ten feet in diameter. There is no decoration on the outside, the shape is like a square, and it is extremely ugly. Standing at the bottom of the lush mountain top, it looks quite abrupt.
,
However, this is just a temporary residence. Zhuang Wudao had no intention of staying here for a long time, so he could just use it for a year.
In the next few days, Zhuang Wudao still stayed behind closed doors, consolidating the few skills he had practiced.
Especially for the "Farewell to Life and Death" move, Zhuang Wudao practiced it for ten consecutive days before he managed to master it without using the wrong sword move.
At this time, his spiritual consciousness increased greatly, and his soul consciousness covered more than 260 feet. He could control three swords at the same time, and his sword power also increased more than ten times.
However, splitting one's mind and using it three times is far more complicated than wielding one sword. It requires a long period of practice to master.
The strength of his body also skyrocketed after shaping the Hidden Spirit Root. In the past, when Zhuang Wudao didn't use his hand to smash the monument, one palm could only reach the power of twenty elephants at most.
However, at this moment, he can exert a huge force of up to thirty-five elephants at will.
——Even when Zhuang Wudao pushed the Bull Demon Yuanba Body and the Big Stone Slammer into the second heaven realm half a year ago, there was never such a huge increase.
The improvement of his spiritual roots seemed to have unleashed all the hidden potential in his body.
The sudden increase in strength also caused Zhuang Wudao to break whatever he touched at the moment.
Just like a three-year-old child swinging a giant hammer, he will lose control if he is not careful.
Zhuang Wudao had no choice but to practice hard every day on the 'Big Monument Slammer' and the 'Ox Demon Overlord Body'. At the same time, he could control the sword with his spiritual thoughts and fly around him.
About twenty days later, Zhuang Wudao slowly gained control of his own power. The three 'Three Talents Xuanyang Swords' were also under the control of his spiritual mind, seemingly.
