In Gongming City, in the Tiansheng Sect's restaurant, Lin Xiao once again hosted a banquet for the heads of many businesses, but this time the people who were invited were the ones who had lent money to Tianyun Prefecture a few years ago.
Before the banquet started, Lin Xiao paid off the loans one by one. In addition to Zhang, the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Pavilion, there was also a monk in the spiritual light stage. After all, the Dao fruit tree was too valuable, and he, the shopkeeper, did not dare to make the decision easily.
, something happened, and he couldn't bear it.
Ever since Lin Xiao killed Lu Muyang and severely wounded Lu Yan, Lin Xiao's reputation has spread throughout more than a dozen countries in the southwestern tip of Nanzhou. Lin Xiao's fighting prowess is enough to attract people's attention. The other monks of Lingguang dare not compete with him.
For example, Xiang Guo, who was east of Lu State, immediately came to express his goodwill to Tianyun Prefecture, saying that he wanted to coexist peacefully with Tianyun Prefecture, and that both sides should not gather troops at the border. We are all friends.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Xiao had the courage to let the other Lingguang monks enter Gongming City, because Lin Xiao was confident of dealing with any Lingguang monk.
The power behind Qingfeng Pavilion is the Wei State, and the Wei State once had the reputation of being a strong Wei. Five or six thousand years ago, the Wei State was stronger than the current Song State. There were three Shenxu monks in the country, and the auction in Nanzhou was only
Second to large countries like Qi and Qin, it is the second-level powerful country in Nanzhou, so it is called Qiang Wei.
However, these three Shenxu monks failed to break through to the seventh realm and died one after another. When the Shenxu monk died, the Wei State began to weaken. Although another Shenxu monk appeared later, he died unexpectedly while traveling outside.
However, he failed to revitalize Wei State.
In the past two thousand years, the state of Wei has continued to weaken. Even the Shenxu monks have not appeared again. The number of Lingguang monks has become less and less. There are only five people now, and they are still declining. Therefore, this fruit tree means a lot to them.
It's different. After all, only when the number of Dao Gang monks increases can more Lingguang monks appear.
Tianyun Prefecture kept true to its word, and all the promised interest, Daoji Pills, and Dao Fruit Trees were fulfilled. This made many businesses have a better impression of Tianyun Prefecture. At the banquet, the words of praise for Lin Xiao were also beyond words, and they continued
of praise.
After the banquet, the Lingguang monk from Qingfeng Pavilion also had a secret talk with Lin Xiao and talked about the in-depth cooperation between the two countries. Although the strength of Wei State is not as good as before, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse and much stronger than Tianyun State.
, what’s more important is that they have a background there.
The Wei State has a history of tens of thousands of years, and its history is not shorter than that of Qi State. There are many fifth-level spiritual mountains in the country, so they also have a lot of high-level elixirs, and fifth- and sixth-level elixirs mature every year.
However, the level of alchemy in Wei State is very low. Not only does there not be a fifth-level alchemist, there are not even fourth-level high-level alchemists. The best alchemist only has a fourth-level mid-level alchemist, and his potential has been exhausted.
The Wei State already knew that there were high-level alchemists in Tianyun Prefecture. From the auction of Dao Ji Dan, they guessed that there were at least fourth-level high-grade alchemists in Tianyun Prefecture, and they had already targeted Li Muxue.
Therefore, it is now very easy for Li Muxue, the Lingguang monk, to become a fifth-level alchemist. Once he succeeds, it will be of great benefit to the Wei State.
You must know that the Wei State has the reputation of being a strong Wei and has this background, so it was suppressed by the big powers above the Song State. The method of suppression was fifth-level elixirs. Big countries like the Song State had a complete monopoly on the refining of fifth-level elixirs and above.
The mature fifth- and sixth-level elixirs produced by Wei State every year were sold to big countries such as Song State in exchange for fifth-level elixirs, but the price was extremely high and they were exploited miserably.
Without enough fifth-level elixirs to use, the spiritual light monks in Wei State are very slow to improve their cultivation. It is normal for fifty years to rise to the first level. And based on the age at which they broke through the spiritual light, they did not have any impact on the gods before they were 800 years old.
This was a false opportunity, and it was precisely because of this that Wei continued to weaken.
If there are no other channels to obtain enough fifth-level elixirs, it is possible that one or two thousand years ago, the Wei State would be threatened with destruction. This is why the Wei State secretly sought cooperation from Tianyun State.
Lin Xiao naturally agreed to this. According to Lin Xiao's knowledge, Wu Muyang and Lu Yan also rarely take fifth-level elixirs. It's not because they have no money, but because the big country won't sell them to you at all. If you want to buy them, go to Central Continent, and
Zhongzhou can't just buy it if he wants to. Now he only knows that Yun Shaoyang borrows the connections of the Hou family to barely keep up with the consumption of elixirs.
The foundation of Tiansheng Sect is too poor. Although a lot of fifth-level elixirs have been planted, they still have a long time to mature. Even better fifth-level elixirs need thousands of years to mature. Tiansheng Sect is constantly shrinking.
It takes more than two hundred years to mature, so for a long time, Li Muxue was unable to gather the materials needed for the fifth-level elixir. But now with the cooperation of Wei State, it is different. As long as you have money, you can hope to buy it.
Get enough materials.
After the secret conversation, Lin Xiao sent the other party a gift out of the country. In the future, the cooperation between the two countries will also be carried out in secret, mainly relying on the channel of Qingfeng Pavilion. It will be very secretive, so there is not much communication between the two on the surface.
After defeating Chunyang Palace, Lin Xiao became the focus of Tianyun Prefecture and was pushed above the feudal turmoil. At the same time, Tianyun Prefecture was like an independent kingdom and many matters had to be adjudicated by Lin Xiao. This made Lin Xiao's
The workload has greatly increased.
For this reason, Lin Xiao had to keep Jia Mengran who was going back to Fenghuo Island, replaced him with someone else, and then asked Jia Mengran to become Lin Xiao's spokesperson to deal with the entire Tianyun State, such as resolving some disputes.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, concentrated on handling some internal affairs, mainly on the teaching of new disciples. This time the Tiansheng Sect lost more than 4,000 people, which cannot be made up for in a few years. Even many management positions within the sect were vacant.
So Lin Xiao felt that he had to grab the reputation of the newcomer.
This stay lasted for five years. Lin Xiao only left the academy after learning that the New Disciple Academy had graduated three batches of disciples. In the past few years, Tiansheng Sect has had three more Dao Gang monks break through, two of whom used Dao Ji Dan to break through.
, one person failed, and the Dao Gang monks lost in the war made up for it.
But when talking about Daogang monks, Lin Xiao was still angry, because before the war, two Daogang monks who traveled abroad did not come back. They were afraid of the war and avoided it, and they did not come back until the end of the war.
So Lin Xiao made a decision, expelled the two of them, directly declared them traitors, and asked them to repay the sect's investment in them, so that they could reunite and break up, or else hunt them down to the end.
But those two people didn't even dare to come back, and simply disappeared, out of Ye Xiao's surveillance. Ye Xiao was short of manpower, and they were within the scope of Central Continent, so Tiansheng Sect had nothing to do against them.
Although Ye Xiao had issued a pursuit order, several years had passed and he still hadn't found anyone. Lin was beaten to death, and he wished he could hunt down the traitor himself.
Seeing that there was nothing to do in the sect, Lin Xiao went to retreat again. This time the retreat lasted for five years. After five years, Lin Xiao's cultivation level improved one level, reaching the second level of aura.
Lin Xiao has already broken through for almost thirty years. If he hadn't been involved in the war, he would have been able to improve his cultivation long ago. However, at Lin Xiao's age, it doesn't matter if he wastes a few years.
On the contrary, Lu Yan couldn't afford it. Lu Yan escaped several self-destructions in the real-person mode and was very lucky, but he was also injured many times. Now that the war has passed ten years, Lu Yan has not recovered from his injuries.
And according to the report from Night Owl's internal staff, Lu Yan's injury this time was not only a fundamental problem, but his life span was also greatly reduced. Even if he took the life-extending treasure, he would probably not live to be 800 years old. His physical injuries were extremely serious.
Lu Yan's age now should be in his early 700s. After all, Lin Xiao attended his 500th birthday ceremony back then. It can be estimated that Lu Yan's lifespan is less than 100 years old.
Regarding the successor, Chunyang Palace also had problems. In the last war, Chunyang Palace killed six Dao Gang monks, three of whom were Daogang monks from Chunyang Palace. Because of the financial resources for the war, there were also problems. In ten years,
, not even a single Dao Gang monk has been trained.
Now there are three people in Chunyang Palace who are most likely to break through the aura. One of them is Lu Muying, a direct descendant of Lu Yan and the leader of the intelligence department of Chunyang Palace. The other two are Daogang monks from the six major families, including
Lin Xiao's old acquaintance Li Changqing.
If Lu Muying does not break through the aura quickly, there will be a big disaster in Chunyang Palace. Assuming that Li Changqing breaks through and Lu Yan passes away, it is still uncertain whether Chunyang Palace will be surnamed Li or Lu in the future.
Amid internal and external troubles, Chunyang Palace seems particularly desolate. Now it is all supported by Lu Yan. He does not dare to die now. Once he dies, Chunyang Palace will be completely destroyed.
But no matter how hard he is, Lin Xiao will not let him go easily. After the activities of Ye Xiao in recent years, the other five neutral states and counties in Lu State have begun to turn to Tianyun State, and the forces pro-Chunyang Palace have been suppressed.
After a series of suppressions, Ye Xiao even planned multiple assassinations to eliminate the die-hard members of the other side. It won't be long before the leaders of these sects become pro-Tian Yunzhou people.
Lin Xiao didn't let them change their tune now because Yi Chi didn't want to irritate the Cang Kingdom and the Tianyun Kingdom. The Tianyun State hadn't recovered from the war yet. If another thirty years passed, they could take action directly.
Now someone has suggested to Lin Xiao whether Tianyun Prefecture should be established as a state. After all, Tianyun Prefecture is now too big, and its territory is larger than Chunyang Palace. It is unreasonable to call it a state, and the name is not enough.
Loud.
Many activities in Nanzhou are carried out on a country basis. If you don't establish a country, you still have to follow the name of Chunyang Palace when you go out, which also hurts morale.
Lin Xiao thought about it carefully and felt that this made sense. However, it was still too early to establish the country. It would only take a few decades after the other five states and counties showed their banners.
However, you can consider the country name. When it comes to this country name, Lin Xiao is also very helpless, because the country names of various countries in Southern Continent are too random. For example, the Lu country is the overlord sect Chunyang Palace. The head of the family is named Lu.
, it is called the Lu State, and the Yelu State is the same, and the Wei State is even more obvious.
From now on, we can't call our country "Lin Country". It's too arrogant. Why don't we call it "the girl next door"? So this country name makes Lin Xiao very troubled.
