Chapter 183: Post-War Layout
The time of the beast tide this time was much shorter than the beast tide seventy years ago, only a few months, but the intensity was much stronger than seventy years ago, which directly led to the demise of the Chen State.
Lin Xiao didn't know how the remnants of Chen Qinggu's disciples lived, and he couldn't manage so much, but the Heavenly Saint Sect still had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
This time, the Beast Tide Heavenly Saint Sect killed more than 100 people, disabled dozens of people, and consumed countless resources, which also interrupted the trend of the benign development of the Heavenly Saint Sect, so Lin Xiao had to rearrange it.
At this time, the Chen State has become a place of chaos, hundreds of spiritual mountains of all sizes have become a place where many forces fight, the remnants of the Chen State, the scattered cultivation, the Lu State, the Cang State, and the forces supported by the Heavenly Eclipse State are intricately intertwined, fighting every day, and the Lingshan Mountains change hands every day, and the bloody conflicts are endless day and night.
Therefore, Tianyun Prefecture's joint efforts to occupy Lingshan have become the most correct strategy, if one occupies it, sooner or later it will be dragged into this quagmire, causing the strength of the sect to weaken.
Now the five sects only occupy three third-order spiritual mountains, which makes many people stop thinking about competing with Tianyun Prefecture, because the five families can pull out tens of thousands of troops at any time, including dozens of purple mansions, several Daogang, and there are so many spiritual mountains outside, no one wants to gnaw on this hard bone.
The Black Wind Valley camp Lin Xiao did not withdraw, but it was reduced a lot, and he sent disciples to garrison there all the year round, monitoring the wilderness, monitoring the Chen State, which was regarded as a barrier of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and if the barbarian demon beasts wanted to attack the Heavenly Saint Sect, they must first break through the Black Wind Valley camp.
Most of the men and horses of Devil Cry Mountain have also withdrawn, but there are still five hundred people left, and now Chen Guo is not safe, and the ghost knows if he will have the audacity to come and loot the loose cultivation gang, so he must leave enough men and horses to guard.
The beast tide for several months has brought the production of the Heavenly Saint Sect to a halt, and production must be resumed at this time, and the mortals who have returned must also be allowed to return to their homes and replant crops as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a large-scale famine, and many mortals will die.
Tiannan Prefecture really started a war of words with Tianyun Prefecture, the reason is also that hundreds of thousands of mortals, Tiannan Prefecture gave up those mortals because of two fronts before, among them, six or seven hundred thousand people went south to take refuge and hid in Tianyun Prefecture, these hundreds of thousands of mortals have long been divided up by the states of Tianyun Prefecture, how can they spit it out again?
The strength of Tiannan Prefecture is much weaker than that of Tianyun Prefecture, and it is definitely not good to come hard, and if you can't win the war of words, you can only go to Chunyang Palace to complain, but Chunyang Palace is also in trouble at this time, how can you care about such a small thing, basically this matter is considered to be tacitly acquiesced, but it also hurts the relationship between Tiannan Prefecture, and there is a gap between the two states.
Lin Xiao was busy, and it took two months for the Heavenly Saint Sect to restore normal order, and when the Qianling Liquor and White Mist Tea that were urgently made had a certain stock, Lin Xiao immediately notified the Danyang Sect to restart the trade route to the White Jade City of Qi State.
"Mu Xue, this time I went to Baiyu City, you have to change Lu Gang back, you go to Baiyu City to sit down, just leave the specific matters to Bai Ziyu to deal with, when I need to use you, I will naturally look for you, it is not safe outside Baiyu City, you don't move around easily, your task is to raise your cultivation to the twelfth layer of the Purple Mansion to perfection, and then polish and precipitate, and break through Daogang in Baiyu City.
But you can't break through in private, you have to tell me before you break through, I will give you the treasure to prepare a breakthrough at that time, Daogang monks are also strong and weak, your talent is not simple, you can't weaken the foundation"
Lin Xiao explained to her when she sent Li Muxue away, Li Muxue estimated that she would be able to break through Dao Gang in another five or six years, but Lin Xiao didn't want Li Muxue to achieve a low-grade Dao Ji, so in addition to Dao Ji Dan, she also had to prepare Heavenly Dao Law Fragments for her, but Lin Xiao had very few points now, and she still needed to accumulate for a few years.
"I understand, Master, you have to be careful yourself, the Assassin God will not let you go"
"Haha, it's okay, the Assassin God is just a clown jumping off the beam, and I don't have the energy to deal with them, otherwise I would have killed them a long time ago"
Lin Xiao laughed and said, there are still two secret agents of the night owl in the Four Seas Merchant who are alive, but they were taken away by Jin Biao and went to a country west of Cangguo.
However, Lin Xiao didn't make it public, it still meant that, the people who stabbed the gods were not exposed enough, wait and see first, and when they are completely exposed, they will be solved in waves.
Li Muxue nodded, quickly turned around and got on the dragon horse, and then went to Danyang Sect with many disciples, where he took a flying boat to White Jade City.
Li Muxue's cultivation speed is too fast, so far it has only been about forty years of practice, but it has surpassed everyone in the Heavenly Saint Sect except Lin Xiao, and it is estimated that she can break through Dao Gang at the age of about sixty, which is an extremely terrifying speed, Lin Xiao announced to the outside world that breaking through Dao Gang at the age of 100 has shocked many people, if Li Muxue's real age is exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble, so Lin Xiao in addition to modifying her age, is to let her go to Baiyu City to sit down.
Li Muxue will not come back in a short time, and after breaking through Daogang, he also needs to continue to stay in Baiyu City to eliminate the influence and reduce his fear, otherwise the Pure Yang Palace may make a move against the Heavenly Saint Sect, after all, it is not difficult for Li Muxue to break through the Divine Void, as long as he is given time to grow.
After sending Li Muxue away, Lin Xiao fell into a busy situation again, he had already begun to decide to increase Zhang Mingtang's authority and improve the organizational structure of the Heavenly Saint Sect again, otherwise he would have no time to cultivate, no wonder they were not in charge, there were too many trivial matters.
Now among the mountain gates of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the busiest one is the refiner, Sun Shiheng has not rested for several months, leading a few Keqing elders and a group of disciples to fully digest the spoils left by the previous killing of the demon beasts, that is, the materials on the more than 10,000 demon beasts.
If these materials were directly taken and sold, it would be too much of a loss, so they could only be refined into magic weapons and then sold slowly to ensure profits.
Like those millions of catties of demon beast meat, after several months of consumption by thousands of people from the Heavenly Saint Sect, they have already eaten one-fifth, and the disciples up and down have eaten it for a few months, and now they are afraid when they see the meat, and they don't have the excitement they had at the beginning before.
"It's empty, master, now the reserve warehouse is basically empty, except for most of the spiritual rice stored in the No. 1 warehouse, the rest of the reserve warehouse is basically empty, and our Heavenly Saint Sect has lost millions of Xuanjing in this battle."
"Don't talk about those useless things, the reward is to prevent it, who knows if the stabbing god doesn't move, otherwise we can pull up a man and a horse, I ask you, if you want to restore the previous reserves, how many years will it take"
"This year, our income has shrunk greatly, not counting those loot, at most seven or eight hundred thousand Xuanjing, not enough for our own consumption, if we can restore the previous level next year, then we can make up for the deficit of the past two years, reach a balance, and start to accumulate after the next year, and we have to give priority to replenishing the reserve Xuanjing, as well as the investment of the three spiritual mountains of Chen State, the investment of the Black Wind Valley Battalion...
"Speak directly about the results"
"Eight years, no eight years is not enough, unless the head can find a new source of income"
"I can't find it for the time being, let's continue to develop it from the financial resources we have at present, there are more and more people in Gongming City, and the income should increase a lot, and the other is the income of Dan, Instrument, Fu, and Array, although we all have third-order alchemists and refiners, but there are too few personnel, at least there must be more than three or five people in each of the third-order levels, so it is a lot of income."
"Master, the third-order level must be a Purple Mansion monk, otherwise the Xuan Qi and the divine soul will not be able to support it, where will we have so many Purple Mansion monks?"
"Just cultivate, I'll solve it when I open the Mansion Dan, we have hundreds of Condensing Vein Cultivators, and it won't be a problem to break through a dozen or so people in three or five years."
"It's good to have Kaifu Dan, but will they be suspicious of Danyang Sect?"
Zhang Mingtang also knew a lot of secrets at this time, such as the Kaifu Pill, Lin Xiao took out dozens of them back and forth, this is by no means something that can be done through external channels, with the strength of the Heavenly Saint Sect, he can't even collect the materials of these dozens of Kaifu Pills, let alone take out the formed pills.
"Don't worry about him, if they dare to come to the temptation, they will deal with Bai Yucheng, we have now gained a foothold in Bai Yucheng, Bai Ziyu told me that two of the Bai family disciples we support have broken through the Purple Mansion, these people will speak for us, and Bai Yucheng's business can expand again"
Lin Xiao shook his head, the more the system is used, the more it is exposed, so he is anxious to need Bai Yucheng as a cover, fortunately, Bai Ziyu has done a good job, and the poor disciples of the Bai family who have invested and supported have already made progress, as soon as these people break through the Purple Mansion, their voice in the Bai family will increase a lot, and with them as protection, the business of the Heavenly Saint Sect in Baiyu City will be much safer.
"Qianling wine is still limited by spiritual water, is there a way to solve it?"
"Don't keep looking for me for this kind of thing, you have to find a way yourself, I'm not omnipotent in charge of you."
Lin Xiao didn't know how to say it, he would return it to him for any problems, he was really not omnipotent, the system could exchange spiritual water, but the points were insufficient, and now the points needed were too much, and he could use it if he came back to 100,000, but where did he get 100,000 points.
After Lin Xiao dealt with Zhang Mingtang, he went to the Elixir Garden again, such as the scale of the Holy Sect's Elixir Garden today is already very large, Granny Mei sat down many years ago, and the highest level of Lingzhifu is actually Li Muxue, but Li Muxue is not there, and the person in charge is Wang Xiaoxi.
Wang Xiaoxi also broke through the Purple Mansion a few years ago, but this was also her limit, after breaking through the Purple Mansion, she also knew that she basically had no chance to break through Dao Gang in her life, so she concentrated on serving the Elixir Garden, and the level of the Spirit Planter quickly reached the third-order lower grade.
"The growth of the fourth-order elixir is not very good, Wang Xiaoxi, do you have any way?"
Lin Xiao inspected the elixir garden, the elixir garden is also a big user of points, it is by relying on the function of the system, so that those elixirs greatly shorten the growth time, in the past few years, a batch of third-order elixirs can be harvested every year, supplying Bai Chenxi and Bai Xixi alchemy, refining the required elixir for the Purple Mansion monks of the sect, but now that Lin Xiao has achieved Daogang, the third-order elixir is not enough, and the fourth-order can be used.
