After listening to Wang Keke's words, Ye Xiaochuan nodded with satisfaction.
In just a few years, he secretly cultivated a team of more than 30,000 people, of whom the number of Lingji masters has reached 1,000, which is a terrifying number.
Take the Cangyun Sect as an example. In Lingji Realm, all elders are present, and the Cangyun Sect does not have a thousand elders at all.
He said: "You and Big Head have worked hard these past few years.
After reaching the state of spiritual silence, it is difficult to take a step forward.
The twenty-one true magical powers I taught you before are no longer enough to satisfy Lingji masters.
Recently I will prepare more advanced teachings to teach them."
Wang Keke nodded and said, "That's what I mean too.
In the past, I always felt heartbroken to just pass on the good true Dharma to others. Now I see those children making progress every day, and I can’t wait to teach them all the top true Dharma.
The higher their cultivation level is, the greater their chances of surviving in the future will be.
These are the elites we have worked so hard to cultivate, and it would be sad to lose any of them."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Compared with human life, the true Dharma is not worth mentioning.
It’s great that you can figure this out.”
Wang Keke said: "Now that all of our people have successfully reached the realm of Yukong, do we still need to recruit more disciples?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "You can't pause, continue to collect.
Anyone with good qualifications will be collected in the door."
Wang Keke said: "Sect Master, I want to remind you that we can continue to accept disciples, but we have no extra magic weapons. We have already allocated all the 33,000 magic weapons you have.
If you continue to recruit disciples, you will be using your bare hands.
The cultivation level of a cultivator is very important, but the magic weapon is also very important. Without the magic weapon, you will die."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "I have thought about this problem. There were more than 200,000 magic weapons in the Northern Xinjiang icehouse at that time. I only took away more than 20,000 of them, and the remaining 200,000 were of lower grade.
If the magic weapon really doesn’t work, I’ll go to Northern Xinjiang and get these low-level magic weapons.”
Wang Keke shook his head and said: "You started too late. Not long ago, I heard Liu Jiao's nephew say that more than a year ago, all the weapons in Northern Xinjiang had been transported to China, including 230,000 weapons used by cultivators.
Sword and magic weapon.
In recent years, various sects have been recruiting students crazily, and a large number of young disciples have been born. These magical weapons from northern Xinjiang have been almost divided up by the righteous sects of Middle-earth.
Especially that Jade Machine, he was too greedy and took away a hundred thousand swords and magic weapons."
Ye Xiaochuan frowned and said, "Is this the case?
Why are you telling me now?"
Wang Keke said: "Of course, the less people know about the division of good things, the better. The division of these magic weapons started a year ago, but the news was blocked by Cangyun Sect and it was not spread until the past few days."
Ye Xiaochuan paced slowly on the sand dunes and said: "Since the magic weapon in Northern Xinjiang has been divided up, can we refine it ourselves?"
Wang Keke said: "Do you know how to refine weapons?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "An old senior did teach me some weapon refining techniques back then.
But... those are all methods for refining artifact-level magic weapons.
The material requirements are very strict and it is difficult to refine in large quantities."
Wang Keke nodded and said: "That's it.
Each faction has some means of refining weapons, but materials are a big problem.
The magic weapon is not a sword used by ordinary people, nor is it made of ordinary iron. Each fairy sword weighs only a few kilograms in the hand, but it consumes hundreds of kilograms of materials. It also needs to add some fine gold and mithril that are integrated with spiritual power.
.
We don't have enough food now, so where can we get the materials for refining weapons?
I think the top priority now is not to continue to recruit disciples or to get magic weapons, but to find food.
Although our method of cultivating disciples is fast and effective, it consumes too much food.
The food intake of more than 30,000 of us is comparable to the food intake of one million ordinary mortals, and the food consumed every day is an astronomical figure.
If the problem of food and drink for more than 30,000 people is not solved, it will be difficult for us to develop."
Ye Xiaochuan frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with Yang Ershi?"
Wang Keke said: "Yes, the grain in the imperial palace's Taiping warehouse is rotated every five years. Recently, it happened to coincide with the rotation of new grain and old grain in the Central Plains granary. The imperial court seems to have found out that Yang Ershi has been secretly transporting grain to Taiping in the Central Plains.
Allocate grain from the warehouse.
This is not surprising. Fifty million shi every year. This has been six or seven years. A total of more than 30 million shi has been allocated, which is almost as much as the imperial court's annual tax and grain. It would be very difficult to avoid detection of such a large amount of grain.
Disaster.
The main reason why I came here this time is that we have no food, and our reserves can only last for a month at most. If we don't think about the channels to get food, our disciples will have nothing to eat."
This is indeed the toughest issue right now.
The proportion of Ye Xiaochuan's disciples who have reached the realm of air control is almost 100%, which is due to the "Void Spirit Art" evolved from the seventh volume of the Book of Heaven, the chapter on beasts and monsters.
If there is not enough food supply, the progress of these people's cultivation will slow down a lot.
After all, they don't have the Ten Thousand Years Demonic Pill within them.
Ye Xiaochuan pondered for a moment and said: "In the past few years, China's grain production has been reduced due to natural disasters. In the past one or two years, the weather has been good and both have been good years.
Those Taiping warehouses built by China should be filled with grain."
Wang Keke said: "Yes, China has not lacked food in the past two years, but that belongs to us.
You don’t want to rob me, do you?”
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Why not?"
Wang Keke was startled, and then shouted: "Are you really planning to grab food?
That’s royal food.”
Ye Xiaochuan said calmly: "The common people will rebel if they don't have anything to eat. Our disciples have nothing to eat, so what's the point of grabbing some imperial grains?
As long as a few Taiping warehouses are opened, it will be enough for our disciples to eat and drink for a year.
There are tens of thousands of Taiping warehouses in various parts of China, and the loss of a few will not have any impact on China."
Wang Keke slapped his thigh and shouted: "Since you have decided, let's take his grandma's!"
The two briefly studied the grain grabbing plan. According to the scale of the Taiping Granary built by the imperial court, just ten granaries would be enough to ensure food and drink for more than 30,000 disciples for a year.
After finishing the research, Wang Keke said: "Sect Master, we can discuss this matter later. How are you doing recently?
You are the leader of our Guixuan Sect and the soul supporter of all the disciples, so nothing can happen to you."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "My cultivation has been at a bottleneck in the past few years.
The ancestors were right, Baihui fell to the ground and Weilu did not return home.
Zhangmen was hit and nine out of ten people were killed.
Of these three fatal acupoints, I have spent so many years only opening the Weilu acupoint.
I have never been able to go through these two acupuncture points, Baihui and Zhangmen.
So I have been practicing law and swordsmanship in the past few years..." Wang Keke said: "Who asked about your practice? I asked about your inner demons.
Back when I was in the Wanhu Ancient Cave, I discovered that you had inner demons. Later, when you lived in seclusion here, your inner demons would attack several times almost every month.
Chang Sheng Jue has been on your body all these years, which will deepen your inner demons.
To be honest, I'm not worried about your cultivation progress at all, I'm only worried about your inner demons.
If the inner demons are not handled well, the person may become obsessed and lose his mind, or the person may explode and die.
I don’t know how many masters of cultivation have fallen to their inner demons throughout the ages.”
