The last time the system was upgraded was two hundred years ago. After such a long time, Lin Xiao already felt that it was very slow. However, even now, Lin Xiao was still unable to upgrade.
Among the three conditions, Lin Xiao completed two, but the number of Shenxu stage cultivators is still a little short. Today, the Holy Sect has six Shenxu stage monks: Lin Xiao, Li Muxue, Ye Nanyu, Xie Yunfei, Bai Xixi, Bai Zichen, Zhang
Qingxuan and Ah Qing are still in the process of breaking through. The backup personnel are Yu Tianxiang, and the first rank is Jia Mengran, Tie Shi, Bai Ziyu and others.
After counting, Yu Tianxiang is the only one who can break through within a few years. In total, there are only nine people, and there is still one person left. Lin Xiao feels a little headache, and there is still one person left. Where to find it? Next time, he will ask for ten.
What to do with the golden body stage? Can Lin Xiao afford it? Is it really necessary to use treasures such as the Chaoyuan Pill, the Nine Apertures Divine Silkworm Pill, the Nine Turns Golden Ridge Pill, and the Fortune Green Lotus Pill to forcefully push them into the golden body?
Expect?
If this is the case, Lin Xiao's points will be greatly insufficient. You must know that the current situation in the world of immortality is extremely strange. There is no telling when the war will break out. Once it breaks out, the Tiansheng Sect will definitely be swept into it. Lin Xiao must reserve
A few points would be enough, otherwise Lin Xiao himself might be wiped out by the system.
After coming out of seclusion, Lin Xiao found Ye Nanyu and said to him, "There have been frequent cold wars in the world of immortality in the past few years. I don't know when the war will break out. I made a prediction. It will take at least ten divine void periods for us to cope with the current situation. Calculation
Zhang Qingxuan and Ah Qing, who are still making breakthroughs, plus Yu Tianxiang, there are only nine of us."
"Master, why are there ten people?"
"There are so many reasons. I have my own opinion. I came to you because I want to ask you how you are doing with Yun Zhonghe's transformation and whether he can be naturalized."
"Master, we have done a good job in reforming Yun Zhonghe, but I think he is not suitable for naturalization. Yun Zhonghe has a dissolute style and has many enemies. Once he shows up, he will bring us a lot of trouble and disadvantages.
More than profit, and he is an important bargaining chip for us to infiltrate Qixing Pavilion. Now Qixing Pavilion is near Qingyang Sect..."
"I understand, that's it, then who do you think can quickly make up for a spiritual deficiency period?"
“There are really people”
"Oh, who"
"Huang Shang"
"Is it her?"
"Well, didn't the head promise that she could be naturalized last time? But she has been busy since then. Within five years, no, within three years, Huang Shang will be able to break through."
"Moxiu has always been an unstable factor, I'm a little worried."
"Master, if the matter is urgent, then take a risk, or else just wait for Si Qi."
Ye Nanyu replied that it has been about a hundred years since Si Qi broke through to the aura. The troubles of being forced to the aura stage have been solved. The foundation is very solid. With Si Qi's physique and Ye Nanyu's side, he can also feed back and cultivate.
The learning speed will be very fast.
"Si Qi's speed is too slow. It will take at least twenty or thirty years to break through the Shenxu stage. We might as well wait for Meng Ran and the others."
"Then I have no choice. The sect currently has more than a dozen people on the seventh or eighth level of spiritual light, but there are only a few above the tenth level."
“Speaking of it, I still don’t have enough background.”
"Master, how about naturalizing monks from the outside world? Nowadays, the world of immortality is divided into two camps. The worst ones are actually the casual cultivators. There are still some casual cultivators in the Shenxu stage."
"Forget it, I didn't cultivate it myself, so it's unreliable."
Lin Xiao shook his head. The major forces rarely recruit disciples from outside. The cohesion and loyalty of such naturalized disciples are problematic, and they are far inferior to those cultivated by oneself. Therefore, basically no one does this for hundreds of thousands of years.
It’s just a few naturalized people.
"Over there with Huang Shang..."
"Just wait a moment and let me think about it."
"Okay, then I'll leave first"
"Wait a minute, what's the situation in Zhongzhou, and what's the loss of Night Owl?"
"The overall situation in Central Continent is still stable. The leaders of both sides are very rational. They know that rashly starting a war on the human race will risk annihilation. Therefore, both sides are exercising restraint and entering the cold war stage mentioned by the leader. They are stumbling upon each other and engaging in
The arms race and the silent hoarding of materials have caused the prices of various materials to skyrocket, especially high-end materials. Now Xuanjing is becoming less and less valuable.
Night Owl has suffered a lot in recent years, and the two sides dare not fight, but they have done a lot secretly, so the intelligence organization on the side of the Immortal League has developed very quickly. They use the original intelligence organizations of the Black Water Tower and other sects as benchmarks.
They invested resources on a large scale, recruited troops, and carried out encirclement and suppression against us, resulting in the loss of many people."
"Where's the Five Continents Alliance? What's going on here?"
"Let's return the favor. According to our incomplete statistics, in secret confrontations, at least tens of thousands of people from both sides will die every year. Chief, our Night Owls are still too weak. We thought we were very strong, but when these sects take them seriously
Come on, we have no advantage at all, why not let Nan Xuan allocate more money?"
"Here we go again, get lost. Don't you know what's going on with the sect? The two hundred thousand standing army has strained the financial resources of Wu State. If we hadn't had some wealth before, we would have gone bankrupt. Has the Five Continents Alliance found someone?
"Exceed you"
"Yes, they want us Night Owl to train people, and we agreed, but we don't dare to teach too much. They have money and people. Once the level goes up, we will be the ones who suffer."
"If you do it right, the only people we trust most are our own people. No one else can teach us everything, so we have to keep one thing in mind."
"I know nothing but I can't believe it."
Ye Nanyu nodded. He was still wary of this. The people who trained the alliance's troops were the same people who trained the Yi family. They had already told them.
"Okay, I understand. Go and show me the information on Tianyong City. You can go and rest."
"Yes, leader"
Ye Nanyu nodded, and soon, Lin Xiao got information on Tianyong City's business operations in recent years.
Tianyong City was originally a very prosperous city, with profits of at least several hundred million per year. However, after being looted by Xuantianmen, it suffered heavy losses. Now its profits are less than 30 million per year, and management costs are also rising.
Lin Xiao knew that there was corruption happening here. Managing such a big city was a very lucrative job. The people sent here were all monks with backgrounds from various sects. If Lin Xiao had a character like this, he would have taken action long ago to eliminate these things.
They were all killed, but it was a pity that Lin Xiao could not make the decision.
In addition, the territory left by the fleeing forces such as Xuantianmen is also being restored, but they destroyed it too much. Such a large territory only earns more than 100 million in net profit every year. Coupled with the subsidies from the Five Continents Alliance, the Southern Continent Alliance has about
There are more than 200 million Xuanjing used to maintain the alliance.
But how can 200 million Xuanjing be enough to maintain an army of 6 million? According to Lin Xiao's estimate, it will take at least 1 billion. And this is without a war. The rest will be shared equally by each country. For some small countries,
This is a big expense, so within a few years, everyone's enthusiasm has dropped and they are full of complaints. I'm afraid this is what the Immortal League is most happy to see.
Although there are many people in the Five Continents Alliance, the forces are too complicated and there are too many small forces. How can the small forces sustain the consumption of this confrontation? In this confrontation, they have taken a big advantage.
Although Lin Xiao and Qin are jointly in charge of the Southern Continent Alliance, the strength of Wu and Qin is too different. Without the support of the forces behind them, Lin Xiao has no right to speak, so Lin Xiao basically does not go to the alliance.
, all stayed in Wu State, and Qin State was also happy to do so.
Half a year later, Zhang Qingxuan and Ah Qing came out of seclusion almost at the same time. They lived up to Lin Xiao's expectations and broke through the Divine Void Stage one after another. Lin Xiao began to miss those people who died in the battle. If they had not died in the battle, they would have died at this time.
He must be in the state of mental deficiency, so there is no need for Lin Xiao to be so worried.
After the two broke through, there was still a grand promotion ceremony, but they were all from Ye Xiao, so Lin Xiao didn't take them to meet people. Many people in the sect only knew that the ancestor had broken through, but the details
No one knows, unless they reach a certain high level.
On this day, Lin Xiao went to see his precious apprentice Yu Tianxiang. Because Yu Tianxiang was almost finished polishing and settling down, and could almost announce her retreat, Lin Xiao came to comfort her and told her not to be nervous.
"Master, I won't be nervous. You and Senior Sister are almost at the eighth level. I can't be embarrassed."
"Don't be impatient, be sure to be steady, you know?"
"I know, Master, do you have any gifts for me after I break through?"
"What gift do you want?"
"Just take one of each of the Nine Apertures Divine Silkworm Pill, Nine Turns Golden Ridge Pill, and Good Fortune Green Lotus Pill."
"Don't be too ambitious in life, you can't do this"
"Master, I am your direct disciple. Senior sisters have them, why don't I? Masters can't be so partial."
"This is not how you take drugs. Your senior sister also spent two hundred years slowly digesting them..."
"I can also spend two hundred years, and I don't need my soul and body to practice. I can just operate normally. Master, I am going to the battlefield, and you don't want me to perish."
"Bah, stop saying frustrating words"
"Then Master just agrees?"
"You don't like Master so much. I still have to prepare equipment for you."
"Master doesn't have to worry about equipment. I have saved a lot of money in Baixueju for so many years."
Yu Tianxiang said with a smile. She had been in Baixueju for many years. She had stayed in Tiansu City for more than a hundred years. She also stayed in Kunlun for a lot of time. She only came back a few years ago. It was Bai Xixi who took her place.
, based in Kunlun.
"Third Senior Sister, Nanshou is here."
The two of them were chatting when a disciple came in. The person who came was one of Lin Xiao's registered disciples. There were many talented people among the hundreds of registered disciples. Lin Xiao temporarily refused to accept him as his direct disciple, but he asked them to go to the third party.
Working under an apprentice can be regarded as a kind of support, and he can earn more than elsewhere. Yu Tianxiang and the others are also willing to teach some things.
"What do you want from Nanshou Tower?"
"Um, Third Senior Sister, Nanshou is looking for the leader."
"Hehe, Master, you are in trouble."
"I know Master is in trouble, why don't you give me some support?"
"Tch, how can a girl not have any private money? Master, please don't try to make me think otherwise. Otherwise, you can find Senior Sister. She is now the head of the sect, so she must be very rich."
"Get lost, Master can't afford to throw that person away."
Lin Xiao said angrily, Nan Xuan came to him. Needless to say, you already know why, it was because the sect had no money.
