The original plan of the Lu Kingdom and other three countries was to wait until the warships were obtained and then immediately launch a conquest war against Tianyun Prefecture. Tianyun Prefecture could not be allowed to continue to develop.
But only one battleship returned, which put the Three Kingdoms in a difficult situation. Without enough battleships to suppress it, the low-level disciples would suffer great losses. If Tianyun State was really destroyed, they would also pay a huge price.
Moreover, as the owners of battleships, the fighting spirit of the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom is not as strong as that of the Chunyang Palace. After all, Tianyun State is still too far away from them, and even the fighting spirit of the Cang Kingdom is not as strong as that of the Cang Kingdom.
For this reason, Chunyang Palace and Tiancang Sect are still planning whether to send people to Baizhan City to build battleships again, but this plan is not very successful because the savings of the two sects are not much.
Their annual income is indeed more than that of Tiansheng Sect, but their stall is bigger, they have more disciples, and they consume more. Their savings are not much more than that of Tiansheng Sect. They have spent at least 100% on travel expenses and other expenses before.
Seven to eight million Xuan Crystals, if another seven or eight million Xuan Crystals come back, it will be a big stretch, and the battleship will not be able to get it back in a short while.
Just when they were hesitating, Tianyun Prefecture was a little impatient. Since the discussion at Tiansheng Sect four years ago, various sects in Tianyun Prefecture have begun to expand their personnel.
There are currently about 20 million mortals under the rule of Tianyun State. These mortals alone can give birth to two to three thousand monks every year. Add in the descendants of monks from various sects, and at least five thousand monks are born every year.
In the past, each sect only took one or two thousand people, but now they all want them. Together with the remaining disciples, the entire Tianyun Prefecture has gained at least 30,000 monks in the past four years.
These 30,000 people have greatly consumed the resource reserves of Tianyun State. If the war is not launched as soon as possible, the financial resources of each sect will not be able to sustain it. From the perspective of the superiors, some people must be consumed through war, or
Only by adding new territory and increasing income can we support so many people.
Therefore, various sects put pressure on Tiansheng Sect, asking Tiansheng Sect to assume the responsibility of leading the sect and give Tianyun Prefecture a way out.
Under pressure, Lin Xiao also began to mobilize people one after another, transferring some monks from the hinterland of Tiansheng Sect and rotating the disciples with low cultivation levels there.
At the same time, the Weiguo side was also asked to continue blood transfusions. After years of development, the Weiguo side had more than 3,000 disciples of the Tiansheng Sect alone. This time, they also tried their best for the great cause of the Tiansheng Sect. Not only had they provided blood for many years
With millions of Xuanjing's funds, vassals and three thousand disciples of the Tiansheng Sect, they are ready to fight at any time.
Tiansheng Sect established a line with the Changchun Sect through Ye Xiao's personnel, purchased a lot of Baiqing Sacred Flowers, and asked Li Muxue to refine life-extending elixirs and sell them to various sects in Tianyun Prefecture, collecting several
Millions of mysterious crystals.
Moreover, some monks in the Changchun Sect are no longer optimistic about Chunyang Palace. Instead, they are more inclined to Tianyun Prefecture, which has more potential, and have the intention to move to Tianyun Prefecture. There are not just one or two such monks, but there are all the surrounding prefectures and counties.
Many people, this is also one of the results of Ye Xiao's work over the years.
Ye Xiao privately contacted these people. Although their power was not enough to influence the will of their entire state, as long as the Tiansheng Sect defeated the main force of Chunyang Palace again, they would be able to gain authority over the sect.
He turned to Tianyun Prefecture and even included the territory in Tianyun Prefecture.

"Every shopkeeper, boss, and manager, Lin Xiao, the head of Xia Tian Sheng Sect, has met you all."
"I've met Master Lin"
In Gongming City, a restaurant directly under the Tiansheng Sect, Lin Xiao saluted a group of shopkeepers from Gongming City businesses, and a group of people also returned the salute.
"Headmaster Lin, I'm not sure what's going on this time when you invite me and other company principals to come."
The shopkeeper of Qingfeng Pavilion stood up first and said to Lin Xiao. They suddenly received the invitation, and they were all a little uneasy. They didn't know what Tiansheng Sect meant.
"Shopkeeper Zhang of Qingfeng Pavilion, don't worry. I am always quick to talk to people and will not waste everyone's time by beating around the bush. Naturally, I have invited you to come because I have important matters to discuss. I don't know what you think of the current conflict between Tianyun Prefecture and Chunyang Palace.
treat"
"Headmaster Lin is quick to speak quickly, so the old man also has something to say. Tianyun Prefecture is not just facing a Pure Yang Palace. Cang Kingdom and Tian Eclipse Nation seem to be very dissatisfied with Tianyun Prefecture."
"That's right, let's add the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom and the Cang Kingdom. What do you think?"
Lin Xiao nodded. The background behind Qingfeng Pavilion was not simple. It was a subsidiary company of another powerful sect. That sect was stronger than Chunyang Palace, so it had no fear of Lin Xiao.
"If we simply look at the strength on paper, Tianyun Prefecture does not have an advantage. The Three Kingdoms can mobilize at least 600,000 monks, four spiritual lights, and more than 90 Daogangs. I wonder if Tianyun Prefecture can have two
One hundred thousand people, how many people are there in Daogang?"
"What Shopkeeper Zhang said is good, but Shopkeeper Zhang's news is a bit lagging behind. Lu Yan was severely injured a few years ago, even to his foundation. It's hard to say how much combat power he has left. Moreover, just half a year ago, the Three Kingdoms went to
The battleship built in Baizhan City was also attacked by Tianyun State. Only one of the twelve Taoist monks escaped and eleven died.
In addition, the power on the books is not calculated in this way. The three countries have borders, and the factions within them are more complicated. It is impossible to mobilize them all. Some people have to stay behind. Therefore, we estimate that the three countries can mobilize up to 200,000 monks, and Daogang will not be able to mobilize them all.
Half, if you calculate it this way, our Tianyun Prefecture will be able to compete."
As soon as Lin joked, everyone was in an uproar. They didn't know so many things. These Chunyang Palaces were extremely confidential and it was impossible to publicize them. The matter of going to Baizhan City was far away in Central Continent and no one knew about it.
"Headmaster Lin, let's talk about your purpose today."
"Okay, let's continue. Now that the conflict between Tianyunzhou and Chunyang Palace is irreconcilable, a war could break out at any time, so Tianyunzhou is ready to take the lead, and all the sects have completed preparations for war.
This time, in order to win the war, our Tianyun Prefecture has changed many previous tactics. The demand for Xuanjing has greatly increased, so we need Xuanjing, but we don’t have so many Xuanjings on hand, so we have to ask the shopkeepers
"
"Does Chief Lin want us to donate to the war effort, or pay the management fee of Gongming City in advance?"
"Of course not. This is our Tianyun Prefecture's war. How can we make you spend money? Lin's idea is to borrow money from you."
Lin Xiao replied that if he dared to make these demands, these businesses would immediately withdraw from Gongming City, leaving Gongming City as an empty city.
So Lin Xiao's idea was to borrow money for war. This kind of thing had no precedent in the world of immortality, but in his previous life, it was quite normal.
"Borrowing money, Master Lin, what does this mean? There has never been such a rule in the world of immortality."
"I know, so I slowly explained that this Tianyun Prefecture battle can be used as an opportunity for you to gamble. What I am giving you now is the strength table of Tianyun Prefecture. Everything said above is true, and there is no
fictional place.
Your loans will also receive generous returns, and we will all use physical objects as guarantees. If you want to simply use Xuanjing as a reward, you can get the money at high interest rates. If you want a physical return, there will be corresponding rewards."
Lin Xiao replied, and then Li Yiwen divided the planning book made by Lin Xiao one by one. The first page introduced the combat effectiveness of Tianyun State.
Including the number of monks on the surface of each sect, the number of high-level monks, the power that can be mobilized, as well as the Xuanjing Cannon, God-Destroying Crossbow, etc. that have been built over the years.
The second page is a specific loan agreement. This time Tiansheng Sect has done a lot of work. If they borrow Xuanjing, one million Xuanjing will be borrowed at a rate of return of 200,000 Xuanjing per year. It only takes five years.
You can double your earnings.
The physical rewards are even more severe. Tiansheng Sect has taken out Dao Ji Dan, surviving Dao fruit trees, and various fourth-level formations, magic weapons, elixirs, spiritual talismans, etc. The overall profit will be lower than the Xuan Jing return, but
You know, strategic resources like Daojidan cannot be bought even with money.
"Master Lin, if you borrow money now, you can pay it back with Dao Ji Dan. What kind of conditions are these? I don't understand."
"Then let me explain in detail. Suppose you, Qingfeng Pavilion, lend me five million Xuanjing to Tianyun Prefecture, and choose a physical guarantee. The loan period is five years. Then it will be one million interest. Then after five years, Tianyun Prefecture will
I will give you six million Xuan Crystals, and you have the right to ask Tianyun State to take out a Dao Ji Dan as repayment. At that time, we will offset this part with the market price of 1.3 million Xuan Crystals. In other words,
It takes you five years and only 300,000 Xuanjing to get a Daoji Pill for free."
"Hey, Master Lin, for those of us who are weaker, can we borrow three million Xuanjing?"
"No, Dao Ji Dan and Dao Fruit Tree must cost more than five million."
"Then I'll borrow 10 million."
"There are only three Dao Ji Dan mortgages, based on five million, there is no more. The Dao Fruit Tree requires eight million Xuan Crystals. There are two trees, and there is no more."
Lin Xiao shook his head and said, these things are all caused by the Tiansheng Sect, and they may take up the shares of other sects. If Tianyun State is not weak, the Danyang Sect will definitely not agree.
"Qingfeng Pavilion is willing to lend 10 million Xuanjing. When will Master Lin sign the contract and make an oath?"
"Shopkeeper Zhang, come this way"
Lin Xiao was immediately overjoyed. The people from Qingfeng Pavilion were very courageous. It seemed that the temptation of Daoji Dan was big enough. Li Yiwen quickly invited shopkeeper Zhang away.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhang had made up his mind, the heads of several other big firms also made up their minds. However, not every firm could easily come up with 10 million Xuan Crystals. Even if they could, they might not have the authority, so everyone
Only Qingfeng Pavilion in the field has lent 10 million Xuan Crystals at once, and they have more than 1 million Xuan Crystal reserves in Gongming City, which can be transferred immediately, and the rest will be transferred within a few months.
.
At the end of the night, Tianyun Prefecture successfully borrowed 50 million Xuanjing as a war loan. Lin Xiao asked each business to keep it secret, while at the same time asking the various sects who were ready to attack and provoke a war.
