It took Lin Xiao several days to inspect the various properties and territories of the Tiansheng Sect. Every place was carefully investigated, rather than just a quick tour.
In general, Tiansheng Sect is now very powerful, and its overall strength has been booming. Most of its disciples are also working hard to improve themselves, because Tiansheng Sect provides them with a treatment platform that other sects do not have.
For example, disciples with ordinary qualifications, there are now more than two hundred people in the Tiansheng Sect who have broken through the pulse condensation stage, and the one with the highest cultivation level is already at the ninth level of pulse condensation, and he is only over sixty years old, so there is still hope in this life.
Rush to Zifu once.
This is unimaginable in other sects. Like Danyang Sect, they also have a lot of ordinary disciples, at least two thousand people, but they are very few who can break through Condensation Pulse. There will be no more than twenty people, and most of them are
They were meant to be cannon fodder, and only Lin Xiao was so willing to do so. No matter how poorly qualified he was, he would still give them hope.
And like Baiwu Tea House City and Qianling Winery City, most of the R&D and production workers there are ordinary disciples. Although they have delayed their practice because of this kind of thing, everyone is extremely rich. They and Li
Like Feng Yue, they have basically married a wife and have children, and put their hope in the next generation. Since their children have the support of their parents, their spiritual path will undoubtedly be much smoother.
Over the years, Tiansheng Sect has had a large number of second-generation cultivators. Because Tiansheng Sect’s disciples are well treated, many of them are married to nuns. There is a high probability that the children they give birth to will have spiritual roots.
When the Holy Sect is established and recruits disciples, there will be at least a dozen disciples of the second generation.
Moreover, these second generations have not yet formed the atmosphere of playboys. They are basically very diligent and have a good atmosphere. As for the future, Lin Xiao has no intention of intervening until things happen.
Tianyun Prefecture's land development is becoming more and more mature, and the mortal side is becoming more and more prosperous. The Tiansheng Sect's territory alone has increased its population by hundreds of thousands in the past thirty years. The entire Tianyun Prefecture has an estimated population of 1,230
With a population of about 10,000, the number of people is still catching up with Jingzhou. Of course, Jingzhou's territory is much smaller than the current Tianyun Prefecture. The current Tianyun Prefecture refers to the annexation of Ninghe Prefecture and Qingshan County.
Half a year later, the ten disciples who were in seclusion came out of seclusion. This time, only three of them successfully broke through the Zi Mansion. Two people failed to break through and died on the spot. The remaining five were all seriously injured and needed many years of recovery. Lin Xiao was very sad.
Heartache.
Most of the twelfth-level disciples of the Tiansheng Sect need at least twenty years to cultivate. The sect has invested countless resources. Once they die, all the previous investment will be in vain, and those who are seriously injured will
The disciples basically have no chance to pass the test again. The rest of their lives will be slowly wasted to repay the resources Tiansheng Sect lent them on credit.
However, the number of Zifu monks in the Tiansheng Sect has reached 15, which exceeds the 14 in the Danyang Sect. There are more people guarding the Lingshan financial resources in various places.
In fact, there are already 20 Zifu monks in Tiansheng Sect, and the remaining five, except for the semi-public Bai Ziyu, are all in Ye Xiao. It is precisely because of these Zifu that Ye Xiao has developed in these years.
It's getting smoother and smoother. With the strength and the sect's investment of more than 100,000 Xuanjing every year, Ye Xiao has been able to place people in the major forces.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ye Xiao's spies stationed at Biyun Gate to spread the news through various connections. Biyun Gate had begun to accumulate supplies, possibly in preparation for a future war to destroy the country.
Although Yun Qingfeng of Biyun Sect does not look old on the surface, and his power has not weakened, everyone can predict that his lifespan will only be between fifteen and twenty years, and the difference will not be very big.
It has been twenty years since Yun Shaoyang left Biyun Sect. Ye Xiao's people predicted and analyzed that Yun Shaoyang should be coming back.
Lin Xiao told Ye Xiao's people not to move and continue to inquire about the news. On the Zongmen side, Lin Xiao once again rejected Zhang Minggang's plan to accumulate Xuanjing. The remaining financial resources of the Zongmen were once again used to purchase resources. The people who went to White Jade City came back.
You are not allowed to come back with an empty storage bag.
This time, Lin Xiao's speculation was quickly rewarded. A year later, Biyun Sect's things did not escape the eyes of various sects. They all discovered Biyun Sect's behavior of accumulating supplies, and immediately followed suit and began to
Accumulate supplies.
The Biyun Sect kept doing nothing and immediately launched an open arms race and purchased strategic materials on a large scale. Chunyang Palace, Chenqing Valley, and the Tiancang Sect also followed suit, and the remaining forces of the Three Kingdoms also started to look at it.
Start an arms race, otherwise after the war begins, it is no joke to have no weapons or magic talismans, and many people will die.
At the beginning of the arms race among the four countries, the war machine was turned on, and the savings of various major sects for many years were continuously spit out, causing prices in the four countries to rise across the board, and those merchants and firms that still had the strength to move around made a fortune.
Tiansheng Sect has already completed its strategic reserves, and the reserve warehouse can no longer hold them. Not only does it not need to be purchased again, but it can also release resources to sell and make a lot of money.
The behavior of the Tiansheng Sect caused the Danyang Sect to curse loudly and sent letters to Lin Xiao one after another, complaining that Lin Xiao did not notify them in advance, causing them to suffer a lot of losses.
Lin Xiao had no choice but to accept it humbly, and then united with Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen again, and asked them to join the company jointly established with Danyang Sect to purchase supplies from Qi State. This route was three to four hundred thousand miles long on land, and it was not a random force.
Everyone can go.
Of course, the treatment of these two families must be worse than that of Tiansheng Sect and Danyang Sect. In addition to providing human bodyguards, they also have to bear two-thirds of transportation and maintenance costs.
A round trip to White Jade City in a flying boat costs about 15,000 Xuan Crystals. Including maintenance, it is almost 20,000 Xuan Crystals. They offered more than 10,000 Xuan Crystals, but the two families agreed, and the two families split one equally.
It only costs a few thousand Xuanjing per year, which is nothing compared to the consumption caused by the price increase.
Therefore, there are eight Purple Mansion and eighty Pulse Condensing monks on the flying boat heading to White Jade City. This is already a very strong force. As long as it is not a powerful force like Chunyang Palace, it cannot be eaten casually.
Lin Xiao also immediately increased investment.
At this time, the four countries were preparing for war. The consumption of materials such as Qianling Wine was greatly reduced, and the market share immediately plummeted. Therefore, Lin Xiao invested all the excess production in White Jade City. Even Lingshui was purchased from White Jade City. No matter it was back and forth,
The storage bags on the bodyguard disciples are all filled to the brim.
After preparing for the war for a year, the four sects in Tianyun Prefecture did not suffer any losses. Instead, they made a lot of money from the war. This made some people jealous of the four sects' trade routes to Baiyu City and wanted to do the same, but their people had just left Lu.
It didn't take long for all the forces along the country's territory to be swallowed up, and the losses were extremely heavy.
A year later, news officially came out from Biyun Sect that Yun Shaoyang had broken through to the spiritual light stage seven years ago and was now rushing back from Central Continent.
As soon as this news came out, the Three Kingdoms were shocked. It stands to reason that Yun Shaoyang had achieved enlightenment and the crisis of annihilation of the Tian Eclipse Kingdom had been eliminated. But why do they still want to engage in an arms race?
"Active attack"
These four words entered everyone's mind, which made the three countries start to worry and fear, and the arms race became more and more crazy.
In the midst of this madness, the Danyang Sect of Tianyun Prefecture convened various sects to discuss matters, and all the principals of the large and small sects gathered at the Danyang Sect's mountain gate.
"Everyone, the ambition of the Tian Eclipse Kingdom has become very obvious. They are unwilling to be humiliated by the Three Kingdoms before and are ready to fight back. We, the Lu State, will join the war regardless of whether the Tian Eclipse Kingdom attacks the direction, so we decided to assemble the troops in advance and conduct training. You all
He has participated in the Three-State War and knows the difference between a mob and a well-trained crowd."
"My Heavenly Saint Sect agrees"
"agree"
"Hongshanmen agrees"
Basically, everyone here has experienced the Three-State War, and understands that when thousands of monks fight in a melee, there is a huge difference between those who have practiced and those who have not. They know how to assemble formations, cooperate with each other, and fight in the melee.
The cooperation of the other party is very important.
"Okay, then we will send out manpower according to the strength of each sect. Danyang Sect will send out 2,000 people, and there will be 1,000 in reserve."
"Tian Sheng Sect has 1,500 people. There are no preparations. The Zi Mansion monks can send more."
Lin Xiao immediately replied, Lin Xiao knew what the thousand preparations meant. It was the previous ripening method that used secret methods to improve the cultivation level of monks at the twelfth level of opening the pulse. This was done at the expense of potential and vitality. It was also
Lin Xiao had always disdained the practice of using cannon fodder, and it was the same at this time.
"Okay, continue"
Wang Dao nodded, the monks of the Purple Mansion were extremely important, and the Tiansheng Sect had many Purple Mansion, so a few of them would be more useful than cannon fodder.
"Tianhaimen has 1,500 people and 800 are ready."
"Fifteen hundred people at Hongshan Gate, 600 in preparation"
"Two thousand people from the Shanhe sect were unprepared"
The people of the Shanhe Sect have spoken. Their situation is very complicated. The Shanhe Sect is a coalition of the remaining sects in Ninghe Prefecture. The sects are complicated and complex. Cannon fodder cannot be used at all. Otherwise, the Shanhe Sect will collapse immediately. There is no such thing as a royal rule.
Blame.
Soon, each sect announced the troops they could send out. This time it was time for Tianyun State to show its strength. Not counting the cannon fodder prepared by each sect, they had gathered 15,000 people. That's it, basically.
Each of the above sects has reserved half of its troops to guard the sect. If the war potential is completely squeezed out, an army of 30,000 can be mobilized.
"Very good, with this fifteen thousand army, our Tianyun State's strength will be second only to Chunyang Palace in Lu State. Even Chunyang Palace will not dare to take advantage of us easily by then. We already have
The strength that determines the battle situation, the Zifu monks will not be recruited for the time being, and they will gather in Tianluo City within a month for training after the clear order from Chunyang Palace, no problem, right?"
"No"
"No"
“It’s enough time”
"Okay, let's analyze again, which country will the Celestial Eclipse Congress take the initiative to attack?"
Wang Dao nodded. According to Wang Dao's prediction, as long as Lu State was not attacked by Tian Eclipse State, the army mobilized by Chunyang Palace would never exceed 100,000 people. Tianyun State's 15,000 people would occupy a large area.
If there is any change in Tianyun Prefecture, Chunyang Palace will not be able to bear it, so it will not dare to manipulate it at will.
