It took Lin Xiao a few days to complete the inspection of the various industries and territories of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and every place was carefully investigated, rather than just a casual trip.

In general, the Heavenly Saint Sect is very strong now, the overall strength has been thriving, and most of the disciples are also working hard, because the Heavenly Saint Sect has given them a treatment platform that the rest of the sects do not have.

Like a disciple of mortal qualifications, now more than two hundred people in the Heavenly Saint Sect have broken through the condensation period, and the highest cultivation has reached the ninth layer of condensation veins, and he is only in his sixties, and there is still hope for him to rush to the Purple Mansion once in this life.

This is unimaginable in other sects, like the Danyang Sect, they have a lot of mortal disciples, at least more than two thousand, but they can break through the insignificance of the condensation vein, no more than twenty people, most of them are cannon fodder, and only Lin Xiao is so willing, even if the qualifications are poor, they will give them hope.

And like Baiwu Tea Workshop City and Qianling Liquor Workshop City, most of the R&D and production workers there are also ordinary disciples, although they have delayed their cultivation because of this kind of thing, but everyone's net worth is extremely rich, they are the same as Li Fengyue, they have basically married wives and children, and put their hopes on the next generation, and their children have the support of their parents, and the road of cultivation is undoubtedly much smoother.

The Heavenly Saint Sect has been cultivating for so many years, and there has been a considerable number of second generations of cultivators, and because the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect are well treated, many of them are married to loose nuns, and the probability of giving birth to children with spiritual roots is very high.

And these second generations have not yet formed the atmosphere of gentlemen, and they are basically very diligent and have a good atmosphere, as for the future, things have not come out yet, and Lin Xiao does not plan to intervene.

The territory development of Tianyun Prefecture is becoming more and more mature, and the mortal side is becoming more and more prosperous, the territory of the Heavenly Saint Sect alone has increased by hundreds of thousands of people in the past thirty years, and the entire Tianyun Prefecture is estimated to have a population of about 123 million, and the number of people has caught up with Jingzhou, of course, the territory of Jingzhou is much smaller than the current territory of Tianyun Prefecture, and the current Tianyun Prefecture refers to the annexation of Ninghe Prefecture and Qingshan County.

Half a year later, the ten disciples of the retreat came out, this time only three people successfully broke through the Purple Mansion, two failed to rush through the level, and died on the spot, and the remaining five people were all seriously injured, requiring years of recuperation, which made Lin Xiao very heartbroken.

Most of the disciples of the twelfth layer of the Heavenly Saint Sect need at least twenty years to cultivate, and the sect has invested countless resources, once they die, all the previous investments will be wasted, and those disciples who are seriously injured basically have no chance to rush through the level again, and their next lives will be slowly wasted, repaying the resources lent to them by the Heavenly Saint Sect on credit.

However, the Purple Mansion cultivators of the Heavenly Saint Sect still reached fifteen people on the surface, surpassing the fourteen people of the Danyang Sect, and the spiritual mountain wealth resources in various places had more manpower to guard them.

In fact, there are already twenty Purple Mansion monks of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the remaining five, except for the semi-public Bai Ziyu, are all in the Night Stalker, and it is precisely with these Purple Mansions that the Night Stalker's development over the years has become more and more smooth, and with the strength and the investment of hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing from the sect every year, the Night Stalker can already install people in the major forces.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the spies planted by the night owl in Biyunmen to spread the news through layers of relationships that Biyunmen had begun to accumulate supplies, and it was possible that they were planning for the future war to destroy the country.

Although Yun Qingfeng of Biyun Gate does not look old on the surface, and his power has not weakened, everyone can predict that his lifespan will be between fifteen and twenty years, and the difference will not be very large, and Yun Shaoyang has left Biyunmen for twenty years.

Lin Xiao asked the night owl's people not to move and continue to inquire about the news, and on the sect's side, Lin Xiao once again vetoed Zhang Mingtang's plan to accumulate Xuanjing, and the remaining financial resources of the sect were used to buy resources again, and the people who went to Baiyu City were not allowed to come back with empty storage bags when they came back.

And this time Lin Xiao's speculation was quickly rewarded, and a year later, the things of Biyunmen did not escape the eyes of the various sects, and they all discovered Biyunmen's behavior of accumulating materials, and they immediately followed and began to accumulate materials.

And Biyunmen did not stop doing two things, and immediately set off an open arms race, large-scale acquisition of strategic materials, Chunyang Palace, Chen Qing Valley, and Tiancang faction also followed immediately, and the remaining forces of the Three Kingdoms also started an arms race one after another, otherwise after the start of the war, it is not a joke to have no magic weapons and no spirit runes in their hands, and many people will die.

At the beginning of the arms race of the four countries, the war machine was opened, and the savings of the major sects for many years continued to be spit out, causing the prices of the four countries to rise across the board, and those merchants who still had the strength to move around made a fortune.

And the Heavenly Saint Sect has already completed the strategic reserve, and the reserve warehouse can't be filled, not only does it not need to be purchased again, but it can also release resources to sell and make a lot of money.

The behavior of the Heavenly Saint Sect made the Danyang Sect and them scold, and they sent letters to Lin Xiao one after another, complaining that Lin Xiao did not notify them in advance, causing them to suffer a lot of losses.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to accept it humbly, and then united Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen again, and asked them to join the business co-founded with Danyangzong to go to Qi Country to buy supplies, this route is as long as three or four hundred thousand miles on land, and it is not possible for any random force to go.

Of course, the treatment of the two of them must be worse than that of the Heavenly Saint Sect and the Danyang Sect, and in addition to getting men and horses to escort them, they also have to bear two-thirds of the transportation costs and maintenance costs.

A flying boat to and from Baiyu City costs about 15,000 Xuanjing, plus maintenance, it is almost 20,000 Xuanjing, and they produce more than 10,000 Xuanjing, but the two families also agreed, and the two families only share a few thousand Xuanjing in a year, and the consumption caused by the price increase is not worth mentioning.

Therefore, there are eight Purple Mansions on the flying boat to White Jade City, and the guards of eighty condensing vein cultivators, this is already a very strong strength, as long as it is not a big force like Pure Yang Palace, it cannot be eaten casually, and Lin Xiao immediately increased his investment.

At this time, the four countries were preparing for war, and the consumption of these materials of Qianling Wine was greatly reduced, and the market share immediately plummeted, so Lin Xiao put all the excess production into Baiyu City, and even the spiritual water was purchased from Baiyucheng, whether it was back and forth, the storage bags on the guards were full.

After preparing for a year, the four sects of Tianyun Prefecture did not lose a little, but made a lot of war profits, which made some people jealous of the trade route of the four sects to Baiyu City, and they also wanted to do so, but not long after their people left the scope of Lu State, they swallowed up all the forces along the way, and the losses were extremely heavy.

A year later, the news officially came out from Biyunmen that Yun Shaoyang had broken through to the Spiritual Light Stage seven years ago, and was now rushing back from Zhongzhou.

As soon as this news came out, the Three Kingdoms were shocked, it stands to reason that Yun Shaoyang has achieved spiritual light, and the crisis of the destruction of the Heavenly Eclipse Country has been eliminated, but why do they still have an arms race?

"Proactive Attack"

The four words entered everyone's minds, which made the three countries begin to worry and fear, and the arms race became more and more crazy.

And in the midst of this madness, the Danyang Sect of Tianyun Prefecture convened various sects to discuss the matter, and the heads of the large and small sects also gathered at the Danyang Sect Mountain Gate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the wolf ambitions of the Eclipse Country are already obvious, they are unwilling to be bullied by the Three Kingdoms before, and they are ready to fight back, our Lu State will participate in the war regardless of whether it is the offensive direction of the Eclipse Country, so we decided to gather men and horses in advance and conduct drills, you have all participated in the Great War of the Three States, and you know the difference between a rabble and a well-trained"

"My Heavenly Holy Sect agrees"

"Consent"

"Hongshanmen agrees"

Most of you here have experienced the Battle of the Three States, and understand that when thousands of monks are fighting, there is a huge difference between those who have been trained and those who have not, and it is very important to know how to assemble a formation in the melee, cooperate with each other, and break up the cooperation of the other party.

"Okay, then according to the strength of each sect, the Danyang Sect will send two thousand people, and there are one thousand preparations"

"There are 1,500 Heavenly Saint Sect people, and if there is no preparation, there can be more Purple Mansion monks"

Lin Xiao immediately replied, that thousand preparation Lin Xiao knew what it meant, it was the previous method of using a secret method to improve the cultivation of the twelfth layer of the vein cultivator, this is to use potential and vitality to mature, and it is also the practice of using cannon fodder, Lin Xiao has always disdained, and it is the same at this time.

"Yes, continue"

Wang Dao nodded, the Purple Mansion Cultivator is extremely important, and there are many Purple Mansions of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and there are a few more Ken, which are more useful than cannon fodder.

"1,500 people from Tianhaimen, 800 ready"

"Hongshanmen has 1,500 people, 600 preparations"

"Mountains and rivers sent 2,000 people, unprepared"

The people of the Shanhe Sect spoke, their situation was very complicated, the Shanhe Sect was a union of the remnants of the sect in Ninghe Prefecture at the beginning, and the sect was intricate, and cannon fodder could not be used at all, otherwise the Shanhe Sect would collapse immediately, and the king did not blame him.

Soon, each sect said that it was possible to produce people, and this time it was also the time for Tianyun Prefecture to show its strength, and the people and horses of each sect did not count the cannon fodder that were prepared, so they gathered 15,000 people, just like that, basically each sect reserved half of the men and horses to guard the sect, if it was really necessary to completely squeeze out the war potential, 30,000 troops could be pulled out.

"Very good, with this fifteen-thousand-strong army, the strength of our Tianyun Prefecture is second only to the Pure Yang Palace in the Lu Kingdom, and even the Pure Yang Palace will not dare to take us lightly at that time, we already have the strength to influence the battle situation, the Purple Mansion monks will not be recruited for the time being, and wait for the clear order of the Pure Yang Palace, and the respective men and horses will gather in Tianluo City within a month for training, no problem."

"Nope"

"Nope"

"Time is totally enough"

"Okay, let's analyze and analyze again, which country will the Eclipse Congress take the initiative to attack?"

Wang Dao nodded, in Wang Dao's prediction, as long as Lu Guo was not taken the initiative to attack by the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom, the army mobilized by the Pure Yang Palace would never exceed 100,000 people, and the 15,000 people in Tianyun Prefecture would occupy a large share.
