The three sects of the Purple Mansion have different hearts, but the alliance of the nine sects is the top priority of each sect after all, and if someone dares to invade the Heavenly Saint Sect today, it means that they also dare to invade the rest of the sects, which is something that the three sects cannot tolerate.

"This person is not a monk from Tianyun Prefecture, nor is it from the rest of the state capital monks we are familiar with, so there are only two possibilities, first, a monk secretly cultivated by a sect, and second, from a farther away"

"Hmph, fellow Daoist of Hongshanmen, but are you alluding to the Danyang Sect?"

"Don't dare, the Nine Sects Alliance is a big deal, who dares to accuse, these people are obviously coming for the treasure in the hands of Master Lin, Master Lin should still be careful"

"Lin understands, you have to be careful, this person and his companions have escaped, beware of him jumping off the wall in a hurry"

"This matter should be investigated to the end, notify the sects, check the strange monks on the territory of each clan, once there is a situation, report it immediately, if it is possible, we must take down this person, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days"

"It should be so, and the portrait of the dead person will be transmitted to the entire Tianyun Prefecture, and a reward will be placed to see if one or two can be found."

"Okay, if it is released in the name of the Nine Sects, it will definitely make him unable to escape"

The three of you said a word, and quickly settled the matter, Lin Xiao had no opinion, according to what they said, send the portrait to the various sects, and let them assist in the investigation, although this trick is useless, but at least let the person who escaped know that Lin Xiao has been prepared, so that he does not dare to sneak into the Heavenly Saint Sect easily.

"Pan Daoyou, I heard that the Danyang Sect has a third-order array mage, I don't know if I can ask him to help refine a set of third-order mountain protection arrays."

Lin Xiao set up a banquet to entertain the three Purple Mansions, and at the banquet, Lin Xiao asked the Purple Mansion Monks of the Danyang Sect, the second-order formation could not stop the Purple Mansion Monks, which made him very uneasy, if the safety of the Heavenly Saint Sect was not solved, Lin Xiao would be dragged to death in the Heavenly Saint Sect, and he would not dare to go out easily.

"Master Lin, of course this is possible, but there is also a difference between the third-order formations, and the construction cost of the mountain protection array is very expensive."

"I want to hear about it"

"The formation is divided into three kinds according to size, small, medium, and large, the small formation is enough for three or five people, generally speaking, the cost is between five thousand and ten thousand Xuanjing, and the medium-sized formation is enough for one hundred and eighty people, and the cost ranges from ten thousand to thirty thousand Xuanjing, but the large formation, especially the mountain protection array, if you want to complete the power of the third-order formation, the cost has to be doubled several times, and the formation mage also needs more energy to refine, and the cost is at least 100,000 Xuanjing.

If Master Lin wants to protect the Heavenly Saint Sect's radius of more than ten miles, in my opinion, the cost will be 130,000 or 40,000, and the labor cost of the third-order array mage is not counted, and the overall calculation will be between 160,000 and 180,000."

The monk of the Danyang Sect pondered for a while and said, he did not exaggerate this, the hierarchy of the formation is clearly more strict, it is normal for the price to double per level, and the large formation is not something that a random formation mage can do, and it must have relevant experience.

The reason why the three of them were able to have a third-order mountain protection array was because of their years of accumulation, even if it was the Danyang Sect, it was not easy to build a refining system.

This result made Lin Xiao very embarrassed, now the Heavenly Saint Sect's financial resources are all supported by him personally, and he can't make ends meet every month, how can he have the spare money to build a mountain protection array, if according to normal development, the Heavenly Saint Sect will have to accumulate at least a hundred years to build a mountain protection array.

"The Heavenly Sage Sect's foundation is too weak, which makes all fellow Daoists laugh."

"Master Lin is welcome, the mountain protection array is the top priority, it is normal for Master Lin to be anxious, and our three sects have also accumulated for decades to accumulate enough Xuanjing, and no one dares to laugh at anyone"

"Thank you for your understanding, Lin Xiao asked for another question, how to upgrade this spiritual vein"

"It's easy to say that the spiritual vein upgrade is easy, but it's also difficult to say, mainly relying on the Xuanjing, a spiritual vein has a trick, as long as you find the trick and stuff the Xuanjing into it, the spiritual vein will naturally devour the Xuanjing in the Xuanjing and self-nourish.

The Heavenly Saint Sect's path is a second-order mid-grade spiritual vein, and it can be stuffed with up to five thousand Xuanjing every year, and it can be promoted to the second-order upper grade in about thirty years, if you want to upgrade to a third-order spiritual vein, after thirty years, you can stuff eight thousand Xuanjing every year, and it will be about one hundred years."

Lin Xiao was embarrassed again, he got millions of spirit stones before and after, and after so long, where did Lin Xiao get so many Xuanjing.

"There are no shortcuts"

"Yes, replace Xuanjing with spiritual objects, but I advise Master Lin to dispel this idea, because it is more expensive to do so, and the upgrading of spiritual veins is a hundred-year plan of the sect, so I can't rush it."

"Actually, there is another way that is faster, that is, to ask the monks of the fifth realm to go to other places to draw spiritual veins and supplement them to the existing spiritual veins, which can be completed in two or three years."

As soon as the people from the Danyang Sect finished speaking, the people from Tianhaimen added another sentence, but it was still nonsense, the fifth realm, that is, the monks of the first order of Daogang, there were no monks in Tianyun Prefecture, so they had to go to Jingzhou to invite, and you couldn't invite Xuanjing if you had it.

Speaking of which, either pay an extremely expensive price, or take the time and take your time, in a word, you can't be in a hurry, which makes Lin Xiao completely dead.

However, the three of them didn't mean to laugh at Lin Xiao, but were shocked by Lin Xiao's ambition again, they also had a young age, and they also fantasized about making the sect extremely powerful, but it seemed that their appetite was not as big as Lin Xiao's.

"Thank you for your doubts, come, let's have a drink"

Lin Xiao didn't ask these questions anymore, but talked about the matter of the Purple Mansion Monk again.

In fact, they all had some ideas, that is, these Purple Mansion monks came from Ninghe Prefecture or Qingshan County, either they were monks they had secretly cultivated, or they were foreign monks they had invited at a high price, and the purpose was still the treasure in Lin Xiao's hands.

Before Lin Xiao became the Purple Mansion, the matter of the relics was only circulated in Tianyun Prefecture, and the various sects were hindered by the rules of the Nine Sects Alliance, so they naturally did not dare to start easily, but now that Lin Xiao became the Purple Mansion, the news naturally leaked to the ears of the other state capitals.

They were definitely curious about how many good things there were in Lin Xiao's hand, and they wouldn't care about the affairs of the Nine Sects Alliance, so they did it, as for why they sent a strange monk here, it was unknown.

The three of them stayed in the Heavenly Saint Sect for five days, and when they saw that the escaped Purple Mansion monk had no news, they left and went back to their respective homes, and in five days, the news that the Heavenly Saint Sect was attacked by the Purple Mansion monk also spread throughout Tianyun Prefecture.

After the notice of assistance was sent, all the sects became nervous, and they didn't dare to slack off, and for a while, there was a lot of rumors, and the monks of the Purple Mansion did not find out, but let some strange scattered cultivators who had no foundation suffer.

However, Lin Xiao was powerless to stop this kind of thing, he couldn't control it so much, but the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect knew that the head of his family had easily killed a Purple Mansion monk, and their morale soared, and there were people watching the heads hanging at the mountain gate.

You must know that it is a Purple Mansion monk, and the total number of immortal cultivators in Tianyun Prefecture must be tens of thousands, but there are only a few Purple Mansion monks, and now the heads of the Purple Mansion monks are hanging in front of their eyes, how can they miss the opportunity to watch?

Lin Xiao didn't care about those, and with a strong order, let the disciples restore normal order, make money that should be earned, cultivate what should be cultivated, and don't go to the mountain gate to make do if it's okay.

And Lin Xiao himself has also increased his cultivation time, and now that he doesn't have enough points, he can only cultivate by himself, but fortunately, he is also the best spiritual root qualification at this time, even if he cultivates normally, he is not slower than others.

Three months later, the human head hanging in the mountain gate, even if it was treated, slowly rotted, and Lin Xiao's purpose of shocking was achieved, so he let people take it down, and then burned it.

At this time, the Heavenly Saint Sect has also fallen into a new predicament, the Heavenly Saint Sect's financial resources have been insufficient, relying on Lin Xiao's own subsidies, so far, the treasure house of the sect has become tense again, but Lin Xiao has no extra points in his hand, and Lin Xiao does not dare to move at all with those hundreds of points, so he has to keep it as a precaution.

So I had to think of other ways, but the problem was that Lin Xiao didn't dare to leave the Heavenly Saint Sect at this time, the Heavenly Saint Sect was his foundation, if he left, the Purple Mansion Monk would come back to slaughter the disciples and take revenge, and that day the Holy Sect would be completely finished.

In this way, the Heavenly Saint Sect fell into a dead loop, and how to break the situation became Lin Xiaoxin's challenge.

"Master, after taking stock and statistics, the fixed expenses of the entire sect every month should be 13,000 when converted into Xuanjing, and our income, from the Linggu elixir of the Mountain Gate, two minerals, Gongmingfang City, all add up to about 7,000, and the monthly shortage is 6,000 Xuanjing.

Now only Gongmingfang City can increase its income, but the growth rate is too slow, it grows by dozens of Xuanjing every month, and the growth is also limited."

"How many Xuanjing are in the treasure house now, and how long can they last?"

"It's less than three thousand, and after ten days, it's the day of the monthly salary, and it's barely finished, and then it's not enough for daily consumption."

"This is the thing I killed the Purple Mansion monk in three months, a long knife, a broken inner armor, and a few spiritual objects, all of which are third-order, especially these elixir fruits, I have already found someone to identify them, they are third-order high-grade Bizhu fruits, and their value is extraordinary, all of them are worth at least thirty or forty thousand Xuanjing, let's take them first."

Lin Xiao began to dig into the family's background, and even the few elixir fruits he got from the White Misty Mountain were said to belong to the Purple Mansion monk, and he wanted to take them to the top.

"No, master, this is absolutely impossible, these treasures are ordinary treasures, it is difficult to buy them with money, this is the foundation of the sect"

Li Fengyue was shocked, these things are all of extraordinary value Yes, but a sect can't only have Xuanjing, all kinds of spiritual objects are also extremely important, this kind of third-order spiritual object, even the Danyang Sect will not release a drop, this is all used by the monks of the Purple Mansion.

"If you don't sell these things, what should you do next month, I told you a long time ago, the treasure is used up, is it possible for everyone to drink the northwest wind?"

"Even if you shrink your clothes and reduce your food, you can't sell it if you tighten your belt, if the sect wants to be strong, you have to be assisted by these treasures, from next month, I won't receive the monthly salary"

"Master, we don't receive the monthly stipend anymore"

"Shut up, what is it if you don't receive the monthly salary, what can you do, if you don't receive it, then you don't want to cultivate, hold on first, in a few months, a batch of spirit valleys and elixirs will mature, maybe you will get through the difficulties, this matter is not negotiable"

Lin Xiao waved his hand, they can think like this, it is enough to show their loyalty, but there is no need, the gap of thousands of Xuanjing every month is not something that their salary can withstand, in fact, Lin Xiao has never received a monthly salary, but has posted countless upside down, his merit points in the sect are almost 100,000, but they are useless, the value of merit points lies in the materials of the sect's treasury, the sect's treasury is empty, and the merit points are worthless.

Lin Xiao had a tough attitude, and the three of them couldn't do it, so they had to do it, sell the spiritual things, and get through the difficulties first, and just when Lin Xiao was thinking hard about how to generate income, Danyang Sect suddenly sent him a piece of news.
