Chapter Eighty-Eight: Cannon Fodder
Lin Xiao's sense of distress was not groundless, just as the Heavenly Saint Sect was increasing the cultivation of disciples as always, the sects of the three states that had a little spare strength were also doing the same thing.
Compared with other sects, the Heavenly Saint Sect is undoubtedly the most humane, because the Heavenly Saint Sect at least maintains the same treatment on the surface, and there is no class, even if it is a disciple with mortal qualifications, as long as he is willing to work hard and learn, he will also be vigorously cultivated by the Heavenly Saint Sect, but how do the rest of the sects do it, all the disciples are basically miscellaneous disciples, and the investment they need to pay is extremely low, often only about one-tenth of the treatment of the inner disciples.
After the Great War of the Three States, the Danyang Sect recruited thousands of mortal qualification disciples in one go, and these disciples were all left over from the previous years of the Immortal Ascension Conference.
Every three years, there will be about 1,000 children who have been tested for spiritual roots, but eighty percent of them are mortal qualification disciples, except for the four hundred disciples who have been divided, the rest are basically not wanted, and Lin Xiao has recruited about 300 people each time in these three immortal ascension conferences, but there are still hundreds of people left behind each time.
Now the Danyang Sect is not refusing, because they have never thought of cultivating these people well, just like chickens and ducks raised in the mundane countryside, they can give them something to eat casually, and grow up freely, and after thirty or forty years, these people can hardly boil to the opening of the vein more than eighty or ninety, and some people with great perseverance may be able to break through the condensation vein.
If war breaks out after thirty or forty years, then these people will be the most suitable cannon fodder, and the Danyang Sect will still select people on a large scale to mature, promote them to the condensation period, and then send them to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
Like the Danyang Sect, there are also Tianhai Gate, Hongshan Gate, as well as Bishui Pavilion and Ningshui Sect, and the mortal disciples who were discarded before have been recruited into the sect, causing the number of monks of each sect to skyrocket in half a year.
Later, Lin Xiao knew according to the news from the rivers and lakes that the number of monks in Danyang Sect, Tianhaimen, and Hongshanmen was maintained at about two thousand, while the Bishui Pavilion was more than three thousand and five, and even the disabled Ningshui Sect had recovered to nearly two thousand people, and the sects in the three states were all silently preparing for the future war.
A month later, the second harvest of Caiyun Mountain was transported back to the Heavenly Sage Sect by Bai Ziyu, and the first harvest occurred during the Sanzhou War, so the Danyang Sect did not distribute it, but used it for the expenditure in the Great War, and everyone had no opinion, now that the war has stopped, it will naturally have to be divided.
Bai Ziyu returned to the sect to report on his work, and then Lin Xiao asked another person from the Bai family named Bai Zichang to lead a team to Caiyun Mountain to garrison, in fact, the task of going to Caiyun Mountain to garrison is very easy, that is the hinterland of Tianyun Prefecture, and it is the property of the Nine Sects, no one dares to make trouble, it can be called a vacation, Bai Ziyu has been stationed there for more than two years, and his cultivation has also been raised to the first level, and he has reached the second layer of condensation.
Lin Xiao rewarded Bai Ziyu well, rewarded a lot of top-grade green jade pills in exchange for the system, and soon retreated, and it is estimated that if the cultivation does not break through, it will not come out.
At this time, the entire Heavenly Saint Sect, except for Lin Xiao, belonged to Bai Chenxi, Bai Zichen and Bai Xixi cultivated the highest, among them, Bai Xixi because she ate a myelin-washing pill, washed the muscles and cut the marrow, she was originally a top-grade qualification spiritual root, at this time it was almost the same as the best qualification, and after a few years of hard work, she had distanced herself from Bai Zichen, and now she had reached the seventh layer of condensation.
However, this time everyone in the Bai family has made great contributions, Lin Xiao also gave Bai Zichen and Bai Chenxi the Purifying Pill, they have all eaten it, and their cultivation will be faster in the future, and it is no surprise that it will be the next batch of Purple Mansion monks of the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Li Fengyue, Huang Kaifeng and Chen Hua have no intention of being on the road, and it has only taken six years to improve to a level, and it is worth mentioning that they are also ready to marry a wife and take a concubine.
Among the thirty old, weak, sick and disabled people who were left behind, there were not a few people who had this idea, and the reason why they didn't do it a few years ago was because the task was too heavy, and they had to do everything, and now Li Mingyang's group of disciples has been in the door for more than seven years, and most of them have grown up and begun to slowly take their place, making their pressure much less, so this mind is alive again.
Lin Xiao strongly supported this, and directly held a group wedding, officiated at the wedding for twenty couples, and gave a lot of gifts.
These people no longer have hope for their own path, but the probability that the children they give birth to will have a spiritual root is extremely high, and their children's loyalty to the Heavenly Saint Sect will also be extremely high, which is a very worthwhile investment.
After the group wedding, the Heavenly Saint Sect returned to normal order again, and in the blink of an eye, another year had passed, and the new disciple had graduated from the academy.
This group of disciples enjoyed even more abundant sect resources, and all of them with good qualifications had four or five levels of cultivation, and there were fewer people who had not broken through the opening period for two years, there were less than twenty people, and now there were only forty or fifty disciples in the entire Heavenly Saint Sect who were still mortals.
The skyrocketing overall strength made Lin Xiao more and more confident, Gongmingfang City expanded again, and the number of law enforcement management disciples stationed in it exceeded 100, and began to upgrade the spiritual veins of Baiwu Mountain and Tianyang Mountain, each spiritual mountain consumes 5,000 Xuanjing every year, buries them in the nodes of the spiritual veins, nourishes the spiritual veins, and improves the cultivation environment of the disciples.
After arranging things, Lin Xiao went to the White Fog Mountain retreat again, this time the retreat was nearly a year, and when he came out, Lin Xiao broke through again, and his cultivation reached the third layer of the Purple Mansion, which was based on his own cultivation, not by the blessing of the system.
At this time, Lin Xiao has been the head of the sect for more than nine years, and for more than nine years, Lin Xiao has been sleeping night and night, day and night, and has invested millions of Xuanjing funds in the Heavenly Saint Sect before and after, before and after developing a small sect that is about to be annexed to the rank of the fourth largest sect in Tianyun Prefecture today.
But this is not enough, far from enough, the stage of the Heavenly Saint Sect at this time is still limited to Tianyun Prefecture, this is not the end of Lin Xiao, there is a wider world outside waiting for him to explore.
········
"The triennial Immortal Ascension Conference in Tianyun Prefecture is one of the most important things for each sect, although our territory Tian'an Town has expanded several times, and now there are about 200,000 mortals, but it can only bring us less than ten new disciples every year, and the qualifications are worrying, so the interests of the fight still have to be fought for.
Bai Zichen, this time Tianluo City's party, led by you, there are a few things that you need to pay attention to, first, the disciples of the top grade qualifications, this is determined by the Danyang Sect, and the rest of the sects cannot compete with them, this year is still the same, if you draw lots, they will exchange three disciples with medium grade qualifications.
The second thing is the castle tower of Tianluo City, this business has a common enmity with us, and I will tell you what the specific hatred will tell you later, anyway, after you go, you don't have contact with them, and don't offend them, they have the big power of Jingzhou behind them, and we can't afford to provoke them, of course, if they dare to make any small moves, you are welcome, it should be disgusting and disgusting, and it should be slapped in the face.
If their Purple Mansion Worship wants to deal with you, send me a message immediately, and I will definitely go to Tianluo City within a day and completely destroy them.
The third thing is about competing for disciples, no one has competed with us for those mortal disciples in the past, but this time it is not necessarily, so I ask you to recruit two hundred mortal disciples, and those family disciples are not forced, as many as they want, and those who come will not refuse."
In the cave mansion, Lin Xiao recruited Bai Zichen and handed over the important matter of the Immortal Ascension Conference to him, which was already a sign that Bai Zichen had squeezed into the upper echelons of the Heavenly Saint Sect, so Lin Xiao had to explain some of the inside information clearly.
This year, Duolin smiled and kept exchanging treasures from the system mall, and the points were used up quickly, and they had fallen below 10,000 a few days ago, so they had to continue to expand the number of disciples.
"Don't worry, Zichen remembers"
"Just remember, you should know the situation of the sect, Elder Li, their cultivation is not as good as yours, and they are also very old, sooner or later they will have to retire, and your days will be long in the future."
"Thank you for the cultivation of the master, Zichen will definitely live up to the expectations of the head and go to the soup for the sect"
"Then it's up to you"
Lin Xiao waved his hand and asked Bai Zichen to go down to prepare, Bai Zichen was very happy to leave, now his sense of belonging to the Heavenly Saint Sect is getting higher and higher, don't look at the strength of the Heavenly Saint Sect, but the investment in the cultivation of disciples is very willing, or it should be said that he has ever seen the most willing, and the people of their Bai family have to have qualifications and means, so they have naturally been vigorously cultivated.
Therefore, in Bai Zichen's opinion, the probability of the six members of their Bai family breaking through the Purple Mansion is very high, if there is such a result, then they will have a great chance of killing back to Chen Guo to take revenge.
Bai Zichen left with dozens of disciples and went to Tianluo City, while the Heavenly Saint Sect ushered in a group of loose cultivators, who came to apply for Elder Keqing.
Lin Xiao had long wanted to recruit another group of Keqing elders, but it was delayed by the Sanzhou War before, so it was not implemented, so a batch of recruitment orders were printed again a few months ago and distributed everywhere. Recruit talents.
The treatment given by the Heavenly Saint Sect is extremely high, and the first batch of Keqing elders have already had their contracts expired, but they still choose to renew their contracts, and they are reluctant to leave, especially the last time they helped resist the attack of a strong enemy, and afterwards Lin Xiao also acquiesced to Bai Chenxi's approach at that time, Xuan-level martial arts, the best Qingyu Pill, and the Marrow Cleansing Pill, all of which let them exchange merit points, which made those Keqing elders extremely happy.
And as soon as this news spread, it shocked the scattered cultivators everywhere, and there were forty or fifty Condensing Vein Cultivators who came to apply for the job this time, but Lin Xiao also appropriately raised the requirements.
