Originally, the plan of Lu Guo and the other three countries was to wait for the warships to arrive and immediately launch a war of conquest against Tianyun Prefecture, and Tianyun Prefecture could not be allowed to continue to develop.

But only one battleship came back, which made it difficult for the Three Kingdoms to ride a tiger, and if there were not enough warships to suppress it, then the low-level disciples would suffer great losses, and if they really destroyed Tianyun Prefecture, they would also pay a great price.

Moreover, as the owner of the warship, the war intent of the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom was not as strong as that of the Pure Yang Palace, after all, Tianyun Prefecture was still too far away from them, and even the war intent of the Cang Kingdom was not as good.

For this reason, the Pure Yang Palace and the Tiancang Sect are still working together on whether to send people to the Hundred Battles City to build warships again, but this plan is not very successful, because the savings of the two sects are not much.

Their annual income is indeed more than that of the Heavenly Saint Sect, but their stall is larger, there are more disciples, and they consume more, and their savings are not much more than that of the Heavenly Saint Sect.

Just when they were still hesitating, the Tianyun Prefecture side was a little impatient, since the discussion in the Tiansheng Sect four years ago, the various sects of Tianyun Prefecture began to make every effort to expand the number of people.

Now there are about 20 million mortals under the rule of Tianyun Prefecture, and these mortals alone can give birth to two or three thousand monks every year, plus the descendants of the monks of various sects, at least five thousand monks are born every year.

In the past, each sect only took one or two thousand people, but now it is all needed, plus those disciples left over from before, at least 30,000 monks have been added to the entire Tianyun Prefecture in the past four years.

These 30,000 people have greatly consumed the resource reserves of Tianyun Prefecture, if the war is not launched as soon as possible, the financial resources of each sect will not be able to hold on, from the perspective of the superiors, it is necessary to consume some people through war, or add new territory, and increase income to feed so many people.

Therefore, the various sects put pressure on the Heavenly Saint Sect, asking the Heavenly Saint Sect to take out the responsibility of leading the sect and give Tianyun Prefecture a certain way out.

Lin Xiao was under pressure, and he also began to mobilize people one after another, transferring some of the sitting monks in the hinterland of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and rotating the disciples with low cultivation levels.

At the same time, it also allowed the Weiguo side to continue to transfuse blood, after years of development, there are more than 3,000 disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect alone, and this time they have done their best for the great cause of the Heavenly Saint Sect, not only providing millions of Xuanjing funds for many years, but also transferring vassals plus 3,000 disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, ready to fight at any time.

The Heavenly Saint Sect got on the line with the Changchun Gate through the personnel of the night owl, and purchased a lot of Baiqing Divine Flowers, so that Li Muxue could refine them into life-prolonging pills, and sold them to various sects in Tianyun Prefecture, collecting millions of Xuanjing.

And some monks in Changchun Gate are no longer optimistic about Chunyang Palace, but are more inclined to Tianyun Prefecture, which has more potential, and has the intention of falling to Tianyun Prefecture, this kind of monk is not one or two people, there are many people in the surrounding states and counties, which is also one of the achievements of the night owl over the years.

The night owls had made contact with these people in private, although their strength was not enough to influence the will of their entire state and county, as long as the Heavenly Saint Sect defeated the main force of the Pure Yang Palace again, they would be able to gain authority over the sect, fall to Tianyun Prefecture, and even divide the territory into Tianyun Prefecture.

"All the shopkeepers, the principals, the stewards, Lin Xiao, the head of the Lower Heaven Holy Sect, have met you."

"I've seen Master Lin"

In Gongming City, in the restaurant directly under the Heavenly Saint Sect, Lin Xiao saluted to a group of shopkeepers of Gongming City, and a group of people also returned the salute.

"Master Lin, this time I invited the principals of the firm to come, I don't know what the so-called thing is."

The shopkeeper of Qingfeng Pavilion was the first to stand up and say to Lin Xiao, they suddenly received an invitation, and they all had some apprehension in their hearts, not knowing what the Heavenly Saint Sect meant.

"The shopkeeper of Qingfeng Pavilion, don't worry, this head has always been quick to talk, and he will not waste everyone's time in a roundabout way, inviting you to come, naturally there is a big matter to discuss, I don't know what you think of the current contradiction between Tianyun Prefecture and Chunyang Palace"

"Master Lin is quick to talk, so the old man also has something to say, Tianyun Prefecture is not only facing a Pure Yang Palace, but the Cangguo and Tianyi Kingdom seem to be very dissatisfied with Tianyun Prefecture."

"That's right, then add the Eclipse Country and the Cangguo Kingdom, what do you think?"

Lin Xiao nodded, the background behind this Qingfeng Pavilion is not simple, it is a subordinate business name of another powerful overlord sect, and that sect is stronger than the Pure Yang Palace, so he is not afraid of Lin Xiao at all.

"If purely from the strength on paper, Tianyun Prefecture does not have an advantage, the Three Kingdoms can mobilize at least 600,000 monks, four spiritual lights, more than 90 Daogang, I don't know if Tianyun Prefecture can have 200,000 people, and how many Daogang are there?"

"Shopkeeper Zhang's words are good, but the news of Shopkeeper Zhang is a little lagging behind, a few years ago, Lu Yan has been hit hard, even the foundation has been injured, and it is difficult to say how much combat power is left, and just half a year ago, the Three Kingdoms went to Baizhan City to build a battleship, and they were also sniped by Tianyun Prefecture, twelve Daogang monks, only one escaped, and eleven fell.

In addition, the strength on the books is not calculated like this, the three countries have borders, and the factions within them are more complicated, it is impossible to mobilize them all, so we have to leave people behind, so we estimate that the three kingdoms will mobilize a maximum of 200,000 monks, and Dao Gang will be less than half, so if we calculate it, we will have a hard time in Tianyun Prefecture."

As soon as Lin Xiao's voice fell, everyone was in an uproar, they didn't know so many things, these Pure Yang Palaces were extremely secretive, and it was impossible to publicize them, and the matter of going to Hundred Battles City was far away in Zhongzhou, and no one knew.

"Master Lin, let's talk about your purpose today."

"Okay, then continue, if the contradiction between Yunzhou and Chunyang Palace is irreconcilable today, and the big war will be triggered at any time, so Tianyunzhou is ready to strike first, and all sects have already completed their preparations.

This time, in order to win the war, we in Tianyun Prefecture have changed a lot of previous tactics, and the demand for Xuanjing has greatly increased, so we need Xuanjing, but we don't have so many Xuanjing in our hands, so we have to ask the shopkeepers."

"Isn't Master Lin wanting us to donate money to fund the war, or to pay the management fee of Gongming City in advance?"

"Of course not, this is our war in Tianyun Prefecture, how can we make you break the bank, Lin's idea is to borrow money from you"

Lin Xiao replied that if he dared to make these demands, these merchants would immediately withdraw from Gongming City, making Gongming City an empty city.

Therefore, Lin Xiao's idea was war borrowing, this kind of thing had no precedent in the immortal cultivation world, but in his previous life, it was too normal.

"Borrow money, Master Lin, what does this mean, there has never been such a rule in the immortal cultivation world"

"I know, so I'll explain slowly, this time the battle in Tianyun Prefecture can be used as an opportunity for you to gamble, and now what is being sent to you is the strength table of Tianyun Prefecture, everything said above is true, and there is no fiction.

Your loan will also have a good return, we will use the physical guarantee as a guarantee, if you want to simply use the crystal as a return, you can take the money according to the high interest, if you want to return in kind, there is also a corresponding reward"

Lin Xiao replied, and then Li Yiwen distributed the planning books made by Lin Xiao himself one by one, and the first page introduced the combat effectiveness of Tianyun Prefecture.

It includes the number of monks on the face of each sect, the number of high-level monks, the power that can be mobilized, and the Xuanjing cannon, god-destroying crossbow and so on that have been built over the years.

The second page is the specific loan agreement, this time the Heavenly Saint Sect can be said to have a lot of blood, if you borrow Xuanjing, one million Xuanjing borrows at a rate of return of 200,000 Xuanjing per year, as long as it takes five years, you can double your earnings.

And the return in kind is even more ruthless, the Heavenly Saint Sect took out the Dao Ji Dan, the living Dao Fruit Tree, as well as various fourth-order formations, magic weapons, pills, spirit runes, etc., the combined profit will be lower than the return of Xuanjing, but you must know that strategic resources like Dao Ji Dan cannot be bought with money.

"Master Lin, now the loan can be repaid with Dao Ji Dan, what kind of conditions is this, I don't understand it"

"Then let me explain specifically, if you Qingfeng Pavilion lends five million Xuanjing to Tianyun Prefecture, and chooses to guarantee it in kind, and the loan period is five years, then it is one million interest, then after five years, Tianyun Prefecture will give you six million Xuanjing, and you have the right to let Tianyun Prefecture take out a Dao Ji Dan as a repayment, and then we will offset this part at the market price of 1.3 million Xuan Jing, that is to say, you can get a Dao Ji Dan for nothing in five years, as long as 300,000 Xuan Jing."

"Hey, Master Lin, then we are weaker, can we borrow three million Xuanjing?"

"No, Dao Ji Dan and Dao Fruit Tree must be more than five million"

"Then I'll borrow 10 million?"

"There are only three Dao Ji Dan mortgages, with five million as the base, and there are no more, and the Dao Fruit Tree has eight million Xuanjing, there are two, and there are no more."

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, these things are all bleeding from the Heavenly Saint Sect, and maybe they will occupy the share of the rest of the sects at that time, if it weren't for the poor strength of Tianyun Prefecture, they would definitely not agree to the Danyang Sect.

"Qingfeng Pavilion is willing to borrow 10 million Xuanjing, Master Lin, when will you sign the contract and make an oath"

"Shopkeeper Zhang's here"

Lin Xiao was immediately overjoyed, this Qingfeng Pavilion person is very courageous, it seems that the temptation of Dao Ji Dan is also big enough, Li Yiwen quickly invited the shopkeeper Zhang away.

Seeing that the shopkeeper Zhang had made up his mind, the heads of the other big businesses also made up their minds, but not every business could easily take out 10 million Xuanjing, and even if they could, they might not have this authority, so the whole audience also lent 10 million Xuanjing at one time from Qingfeng Pavilion, and in Gongming City, they had more than 1 million Xuanjing reserves, which could be transferred immediately, and the rest would be transferred within a few months.

After one night, Tianyun Prefecture successfully borrowed 50 million Xuanjing war loans, and Lin Xiao kept the various businesses secret, and on the other hand, he let the people of the various sects who were ready to launch an attack and provoke a war.
