Chapter 399: Exhaustion of financial resources

Wuguo Tiansheng Sect, Lin Xiao secretly returned to the sect, this matter is only known to a very few people such as Li Yiwen, Lin Xiao does not appear in public because he can't show up in public now, once he shows up, he needs to immediately start the war pension, rewards, the fulfillment of the rewards of the demon hunting list, the support for the rest of the sects and many other matters, and Li Yiwen has already told him that the sect now has financial resources, and it can't hold it at all.

"Master, you're back"

"Translation, what's going on on your side, have the accounts been calculated?"

"It's not all counted yet, but there's probably an estimate"

"How to"

"This time the beast tide, if it is counted together with the previous locust plague, it will take more than six months before and after, and the overall yield of spiritual rice within a radius of thousands of miles of Ningcui Mountain has decreased by fifty percent, and these losses are okay.

The Xuanjing, pills, magic weapons, spirit runes, formations and many other resources spent in the direct war are converted into Xuanjing, which should be between 800 million Xuanjing and 1 billion Xuanjing, I don't know how many things you still have in your hands, but the Wuguo spends so much.

Our Heavenly Saint Sect bears about one-third of these billion, and the rest of the expenses are made up by various sects, and now not only our Heavenly Saint Sect is going bankrupt, but Danyang Sect and none of them are running, they are all the same, and the materials of one billion Xuanjing have been replaced by demon beast materials like mountains.

These are only used directly, in this war, our Wu Kingdom has about 35,000 dead monks, and there are five or six thousand seriously injured, no one knows how many of these seriously injured will die, Lu Guo and the Heavenly Eclipse Country add up to about 8,000 people, and the only fortunate thing is that the high-level monks above Dao Gang only killed five people.

This more than 40,000 bereavement pension is an extremely large number, according to the previous practice of bereavement pension, the Kaimai monk will get a one-time pension of 1,000 to 3,000 Xuanjing, the condensing vein monk is between 5,000 and 15,000, and the Zifu monk is between 20,000 and 60,000, which is a direct expense, and taking care of his relatives and descendants is a long-term expense, which does not need to be cashed out immediately, and can be postponed.

And then there is the reward for the exploits, this time we repelled the tide of beasts and killed millions of demon beasts, although many of the corpses of the monsters are not in our hands, but as long as there is a record, it is considered a battle merit, and it also includes the compensation for the injured.

The other is the demon hunting list, from the release of the demon hunting list to the present, there are a total of more than 78,000 scattered cultivators who have gone out of the city to kill the enemy, and 16,000 have been killed before and after, and the injuries are not counted, we don't need to compensate for these, but we must admit the exploits of those who died in battle..."

"You give me a headache, how much specifically, how big is the gap"

"Boss, if this is converted into these monster materials, our real gap will be less than 10 million Xuanjing, just move it, the key is that no one wants these monster materials now, now the price of monster materials on the market has plummeted, at least by more than three or four percent, and the flesh and blood of demon beasts have plummeted by eighty percent, everyone eats and vomits, and the price of the most valuable demon beast Neidan has also fallen by two percent.

Now everyone wants three kinds of elixirs, magic weapons, and spirit runes, which have caused these prices to skyrocket, and we are too late to refine them now, if we come forward to buy them, the difference between the two prices will be calculated, and we will have to be three or four hundred million Xuanjing."

"Then refine, gather all the alchemists, refiners, talisman makers, and array mages of the entire Martial Kingdom, refine a batch of them first, and deal with the matter of the pension and demon hunting list, and the rest can be delayed for a while."

"It's not that simple, just take the pill as an example, the simplest Qingling Pill, the Qingling Pill requires thirty-two kinds of materials to refine, ninety percent of it is a first-order spirit grass, most of these spirit grasses are planted in the war zone, and now the war zone is broken, which causes the price of these first-order spirit grasses to skyrocket.

This situation is not ours, it is the same in more than a dozen countries in the southwest of Nanzhou, and everyone buys from the market, causing the price of half of Nanzhou to rise."

"I see, even the price of Baiyucheng has increased now, right?"

"That's right, the big merchants in White Jade City are not fools, they naturally know about this situation, so they won't transport the goods to White Jade City at all, but directly to us, the belligerents."

"It's easy to solve, if Baiyucheng can't do it, then go somewhere else, you prepare a batch of goods these days, I will let Zhang Qingxuan and Bai Zichen go on a long-distance trade, go to Qin State or even Luo Xinghai, the number should be sufficient, use the fastest flying boat, it will take about three months, and I will drag it for three months in Ningcui Mountain."

In addition, what I just said should also be done, let the Danyang Sect send out people, concentrate the talents of cultivating immortals and hundred arts, and jointly digest these demon beast materials, I have roughly calculated, there are about 17.8 million demon beasts killed by us in the Martial Kingdom, and there are about 40% of the demon beast corpses we grabbed, that is, there are 7.8 million of them, and we must refine all these things as soon as possible."

"What about the auxiliary materials, it's not enough"

"Enough, I will find a way, the countries east of the Wu Kingdom have not been harmed by the beast tide, I will let people go to the Wei State to cooperate at that time, at the cost of the Lingming Pill, they will agree"

"It's Lingming Dan again, the master, this, no, this is a strategic resource, if you take it out and trade too much, the disciple will complain."

"It's not their turn to complain, this is my personal share, if you don't give them military merits, they will have it, and I will have to complain myself, why don't they go to heaven"

Lin Xiao replied, he got the twenty-four Lingming Pills, and according to the price of the sect's compensation, five of them could not be bought, in fact, they didn't know how many there were, Lin Xiao couldn't care about that much.

"Okay, you're the boss, you say what's up"

"I'm going to leave overnight, you start to transfer resources tomorrow and send them to Ningcui Mountain, and you also want to restore the various spiritual mountains, so I have an excuse to drag it over there."

"Yes, Master"

"I will let Li Muxue come back to cooperate with you, and one more thing, all the bereavement rewards above Dao Gang will be postponed, and I will have the final say on the rewards at the spiritual level, all kinds of bereavement rewards from low to high, first outside and then inside, we can't get rid of our reputation, we will hold it first, if each sect has opinions, give them the consumption list, and support it according to the various proportions of the martial arts, we can't let us suffer losses and be scolded"

Lin Xiao replied, according to the strength expenditure of the various sects of the Martial Kingdom, the Heavenly Saint Sect only needs to pay two percent at most, and now the expenditure of the Heavenly Saint Sect is as high as more than three percent, which is a difference of 100 million, and there is also the Lingming Pill, without Lin Xiao's Lingming Pill to let the Qianluo Kingdom send troops, it is still in a bitter battle.

As the overlord of the Martial Kingdom, the Heavenly Saint Sect can eat the loss, but he can no longer be scolded, who dares to scold, that's good, this part of the excess expenditure is not recognized by the Heavenly Saint Sect, let's share it, and those who can't afford it will be automatically expelled from the name of the Martial State.

Lin Xiao returned to Ningcui Mountain overnight, gathered Condensation and other sect masters, and explained the current predicament, if he didn't want the entire Wu Country's financial resources to dry up and go bankrupt, then he had to obey the dispatch of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the next thing was no less serious than war.

Lin Xiao explained the seriousness of the matter, the original Tianyun Prefecture sects were very supportive, they had long been accustomed to this way of solidarity and mutual assistance, and they also believed that whether it was the previous Danyang Sect or the current Tiansheng Sect, they were all very fair, as for the forces that joined later, Lin Xiao did it in a compulsory way, and directly stated that this was a test for them, those who are willing to integrate into this system should join in immediately, and those who are unwilling to integrate will get out of Wuguo and clean you up when they find time, so in the end, no one objected.

After each sent a message to the monks stationed in the sect, from the next day, the talents of the various sects cultivating immortals and hundred arts began to gather in the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the level of these sects' forces was not too high, but this time it was mainly low-level, and the fourth-order demon beasts were actually not much, and the fifth-order, only two.

Seven days later, the Heavenly Saint Sect had already gathered the immortal cultivators of the entire Martial Kingdom, among which the alchemists were the largest, with the number reaching nearly two thousand, and the talisman masters, refiners, and array mages were also between seven or eight hundred to more than a thousand people, and Ling Zhifu was rushing to the war zone to begin guiding his disciples to resume production.

Wei began to transport a large number of auxiliary materials to Wuguo, not only looted the entire Wei State, but also purchased with surrounding countries through the channels of various firms such as Qingfeng Pavilion, and they wanted to transport various auxiliary materials with a total value of about 50 million to Wuguo, and when the time came, Lin Xiao would pay them at the price of a Lingming Pill converted into 15 million Xuanjing, and Lin Xiao would not convert Lingming Dan into a market price, it must be at a premium, and Wei Guo had no opinion at all.

After a few days, the people of the various sects began to return to their families, but Lin Xiao was still guarding the front line of Ningcui Mountain, with the good name of monitoring the wilderness, urging the resumption of production in various parts of the war zone, and letting Li Yiwen push some unsolvable things on Lin Xiao, delay some time, and make the use of funds out of time.

"Head, He Daoyou has arrived"

On this day, Lin Xiao was busy, Ye Nanyu brought someone to report that Zhang Qingxuan and Bai Zichen had gone to trade farther away, and Ye Nanyu was personally handling the affairs of the night owl.

"He Daoyou, welcome, welcome"

"Master Lin, bother"

"He Daoyou is here for Lingming Dan."

"Ahem, ashamed, ashamed"

"He Daoyou doesn't have to be like this, we people in the martial arts country have always done what we say, reputation is the foundation of being a man, He Daoyou, please see"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, he didn't think about repaying the debt, there was no need for that, the preservation time of the Lingming Pill was not very long, and it could not be used up within the Martial Kingdom.

"This..."

Such an important Lingming Pill was given at random like this, He Mu was a little stunned, in fact, he was ready for Lin Xiao's resignation, and he wanted to grind it here, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

"The pill is fine."

"No, no, I also took Lingming Pill to break through back then, I'm ashamed, I rubbed this Lingming Pill for decades, and I will never forget the taste"

"Haha, Lingming Pill is indeed not easy to obtain, but there is no need to do this, the most precious thing in my martial country is not this"

"Could it be that there are more powerful treasures in the Martial Kingdom?"

"The most powerful thing in the martial country is people, it is a monk, He Daoyou, why don't you come to my martial country to investigate?"

"Investigation?"

"It's just to be a guest and see the true face of my martial country"

"That's fine. ”
