After more than a hundred years of development, the number of Ziyang Sect's golden elixir monks has increased by fourteen, and now there are thirty-seven golden elixir monks. The number of Zifu monks has increased by more than a hundred, exceeding three hundred.
In the past hundred years, the Ziyang Sect has further expanded the number of people who practice the Qi Accumulation Technique. The number of core disciples who have learned this technique has also increased by more than a dozen.
There are more than a dozen monks who can refine the innate purple energy and refine the Ziyang Pill. The supply of Ziyang Pill has also increased a bit. It can be refined three times a year, and about seven or eight foundation-building monks have been added out of thin air. With the assistance of the Ziyang Pill,
, coupled with the fact that several chalcedony, gold and zhi medicine gardens have begun to mature on a large scale, the number of monks in the sect's foundation-building period has reached more than 4,000.
In more than a hundred years, it should be able to surpass Yunxiao Sect.
The backbone of Ziyang Sect has increased a lot, and the annual expenditure has also increased year by year. Now the sect's income and expenditure have gradually balanced, and the annual balance is only about 10,000 to 20,000 spiritual stones.
However, after a hundred years of great development, the sect has accumulated more than 20 million spiritual stones and can sustain itself for a long time without the outbreak of a large-scale war.
However, if the Ziyang Sect continues to develop and the number of high-level monks continues to increase, the sect's finances will be unable to make ends meet.
At that time, there are only two ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
The strategy of reducing expenditure is not feasible. After living a good life, it is difficult for the monks of the sect to get used to the hardships. The only feasible option is to expand outward and find new ways to make money.
To the east of Ziyang Sect is the sea, to the west are Feixing Sect and Wuxiang Sect, to the south are the Southern Wilderness Monsters, and to the north are the Six Sects of Qi State.
Feixing Sect and Wuxiang Sect had previously signed a non-attack treaty with Ziyang Sect. As long as Ji Sanyin, Ren Tianqiong and other Nascent Soul monks were still there, it would be impossible for Ziyang Sect to expand from the west.
The monsters of the Southern Wilderness were originally enemies, but Qingyunzi and Taoist Yu had already signed a peace contract with the Demon Saint of Heavenly Wolf. Even the sixth level spiritual vein of Poison Dragon Pond was assigned to the Monster of the Southern Wilderness by the two ancestors of the soul.
beast.
After demarcating the boundaries, although the Ziyang Sect was powerful, they did not dare to provoke the Demon Saint of Heavenly Wolf and continued to seize territory in the Southern Wilderness.
The only one who can seize the direction of expansion is the Yunxiao Sect of Qi State.
It is not easy to bite off a piece of meat from the Yunxiao Sect.
The six sects of Qi State have a unified tradition of dealing with the outside world. Even if there is fierce fighting among them, a foreign sect that wants to invade Qi State will probably be besieged by the six sects.
There are more than 20 Nascent Soul cultivators in the six sects of Qi State. Even the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty are no match for the six sects combined.
The most critical part of attacking Yunxiao Sect is to unite with Hezhong and divide and disintegrate the six sects of Qi.
I'm afraid it will take a long time to do this.
The territory cannot be expanded in the short term, and the suppression of the ancient demon is not Zhang Zhixuan's concern for the time being.
Although he has become a Nascent Soul and is already at a high level in the world of immortality, Nascent Soul cultivators are unable to intervene in such important matters that are related to the survival of the world.
There is nothing the Ziyang Sect can do about the ancient demon. It can only prevent nearby monks from approaching the ruins where the ancient demon is sealed, so as not to be deceived by the ancient demon and become the second Liang Rusheng. All monks who are three thousand miles away from the ruins of the Seven Star Sect will be killed by Ziyang.
The high-ranking monks of the sect were expelled. Among the high-ranking monks who patrolled here all year round, there were five Jindan and sixteen Zifu.
For the Ziyang Sect, the top priority is to get rid of the demon Hu Yongqiu.
After delaying for a hundred years on the Demon Suppressing Island, it was time for the Demon Hunting Conference again.
In order to deal with the enemy Hu Yongqiu, Zhang Zhixuan wrote a personal letter to Yu Wenhong, the great elder of Huangji Sect, preparing to join forces with Huangji Sect.
One day, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan had just refined the purple energy, and Zhang Sihong came to their cave with a letter.
Zhang Zhixuan opened the restriction, let Zhang Sihong enter the cave, and asked: "Is there news from Huangji Sect?"
"Reporting to the leader, Elder Yuwen asked me to bring a letter. In the next demon hunting conference, Huangji Sect will have five Nascent Soul monks participating, and the two Nascent Soul ninth-level monks will take action."
After sending Zhang Sihong away, Zhang Zhixuan felt some sudden worries in his heart.
"Qingchan, do you think Hu Yongqiu will set a trap for us this time?"
Qing Chan said with a disinterested smile: "Even if the Demonic Cultivator of Moyun Cave has laid a trap, it will be of no use if he is not as powerful as a human. The Emperor Ji Sect has dispatched five Nascent Souls for this battle, plus the five of us, Hu Yongqiu can even practice
It has become a demon-turned-blood sword that even with three heads and six arms cannot resist."
"This matter should not be taken lightly. If Hu Yongchou recruits enough people in Moyun Cave, we may not be able to win even if we underestimate the enemy, and we may have to suffer."
Qingchan sighed confidently: "There is a certain number of demon cultivators in Moyun Cave after all. In every demon hunting battle, Da Zhou Yuanying accounts for the majority. Emperor Ji Sect has two great cultivators fighting in this battle, plus you and me.
People join forces, even if Hu Yongqiu joins forces with several old demons, there is nothing he can do against us. We will definitely win this battle, so you don't have to worry. Maybe you are under too much pressure during this period because of the ancient demon's seal.
I feel that there is always an unsolvable sadness in your heart."
Zhang Zhixuan gave a bitter smile and sighed: "Maybe that's the case!"
After establishing contact with Huangji Sect, another twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past twenty years, the Ziyang Sect has discovered another small spirit stone mine. This small spirit stone mine is of good quality and actually unearthed a top-grade spirit stone. By borrowing this treasure, Han Yan also hit the Yuanying bottleneck. Although
She made a life fetus and reached the stage of inducing the celestial phenomenon of birthing a baby. However, her accumulation was insufficient and she ultimately failed at the most critical moment.
Fortunately, he was protected by several Nascent Soul monks and was not seriously injured, and he could recover in thirty years.
Over the years, Tang Yisheng's cultivation level has also improved to the ninth level of the Golden Core, and he is approaching the final moment of condensing the Nascent Soul.
Seeing that the date of the Demon Hunting Conference was approaching, Zhang Zhixuan, Qing Chan, Liu Lingjun, Liu Guyan, and Xia Youqing teleported to Dazhou together.
Compared with one hundred and twenty years ago, Qing Chan's cultivation has been completely restored. Zhang Zhixuan has also cultivated to the fourth level of Yuanying, Liu Lingjun to the fifth level of Yuanying, Liu Guyan to the third level of Yuanying, Xia Youqing to the second level of Yuanying, Lingjun,
Gu Yan also perfected the Purple Qi Xuangang Spell, and his magical power far exceeded that of the last demon hunting conference.
In the Demon Hunting Conference a century ago, the Yuanying of the Purple Yang Sect was refining ancient demons on the Demon Suppressing Island and naturally could not use them. However, the Great Zhou Yuanying still achieved some results last time and killed a demonic Yuanying.
In the past two hundred years, Moyun Cave has killed six demonic souls in battle, and seven old demons of the soul have died at the end of their lives. There are only five new demons who have condensed souls in the past two hundred years, which is far from enough to replace them.
gap.
In two hundred years, the number of demon cultivators in Moyun Cave has been reduced by eight Nascent Soul masters. The demon cultivators who have just condensed the Nascent Soul are also slightly lacking in magical power, and the overall high-level combat power has been reduced by about one-tenth.
After two to three hundred years of continuous blood loss, I am afraid that the power of both sides will become unbalanced, and the Demonic Cloud Cave Demonic Cultivator will eventually be unable to defend this place.
After the Ziyang Sect monks arrived at Moyun Cave, they soon waited for the Yuan Ying master of the Huangji Sect. In addition to the great elder Yu Wenhong, Guo Songren, the head of the Huangji Sect, also came in person. He also carried a
With the help of Yuanshen Magical Artifact, Huangji Sect is confident enough to defeat Hu Yongqiu.
Zhang Zhixuan did a little inventory and found that about 200 Nascent Soul monks had arrived at this demon hunting conference.
According to normal circumstances, Great Zhou Yuanying only dispatches about a quarter of the manpower for each demon hunting conference. Compared with the Demonic Cultivators of Moyun Cave, the numerical advantage is not very large.
This time for the Demon Hunting Conference, Dazhou actually dispatched half of the Yuanying masters, and even some Nascent Soul monks from the Southern Wilderness came to Dazhou for the first time.
""After reconciling with Heavenly Wolf and Blue Ape Demon Saint, Dazhou's Nascent Soul will be able to free up more manpower." Zhang Zhixuan thought to himself, suddenly feeling that he had a good chance of winning.
