Suyu Sect Mountain Gate, Tang Shuwen is inspecting the sect, in the secret realm, there are hundreds of monks working, they pull out the low-level elixir, and then tidy up the spiritual field, and change the spiritual field to the mode of planting spiritual rice.

There is still no shortage of spiritual fields in the Suyu Sect, there are three of them in the secret realm alone, two of which they have saved for many years, and one is taken from the assassin god, there are many spiritual fields, there are millions of acres of spiritual fields in the secret realm alone, and what they lack is manpower.

Seeing the arrival of Tang Shuwen and others, a steward hurriedly came to report and told Tang Shuwen about the work arrangement, and now they have begun to gather people and horses in various places and enter the secret realm to cultivate, while the spiritual field outside has begun to recruit loose cultivators to plant.

In the mountain gate, there are countless secrets, and they can't let loose cultivators come in at all, so they can only continue to draw people and horses, and even the people and horses guarding the towns in some places have mobilized a lot of back, causing the strength of some places to be empty.

"There are not enough people in the secret realm"

"Back to the ancestor, it's not enough, a monk who opens the vein and condenses the vein can only cultivate fifty acres of spiritual land at most, and no matter how much it is, it can't take care of it, the Purple Mansion monk can take care of eighty acres, and Daogang can take care of about one hundred acres, but the Purple Mansion and Daogang monks are not willing to come to farm."

The steward replied honestly, Zifu and Daogang are also the backbone of the sect, the benefits of farming are extremely low, and they also have a chain of contempt, they would rather go to refine the Dan Fu Array or go to battle than come to the secret realm to farm.

"How much is the gap?"

"Back to the ancestor, there are 800,000 acres of spiritual fields planted in the secret realm here, 100,000 acres of spiritual medicine spiritual fields, and 30,000 acres of high-level spiritual fields, a total of 6,000 monks are needed, and I only have 3,000 people in my hands, among which the gap in the high-level spiritual fields is the largest, and the number of spiritual planters is too few."

"So much worse"

"Yes, many high-level spirit planters in the sect are ancestors, and I have no right to transfer"

The steward replied, speaking of which, it is still a matter of efficiency, the benefits of high-level spirit planters are far inferior to those of the formation mages with the least benefits in the Dan Rune Array, so few people will study it, and those who have the ability are basically high-level monks, he is a spiritual light manager, where can he be mobilized.

"I know, I'll give you a batch of new disciples of the sect"

Tang Shuwen nodded with a heavy face, the new disciples of the sect are all newcomers who have been in the field for a year or two, and they are not capable of going to the battlefield, so they can only be transferred.

After a hurried inspection, Tang Shuwen left the secret realm and went to inspect some spiritual mountains outside the mountain gate, Tang Shuwen found that there were very few monks in the sect here, less than thirty percent at most, and the rest were recruited scattered cultivators, fortunately, these scattered cultivators were lowly, otherwise these spiritual mountains were very dangerous.

Tang Shuwen inspected all the way and found that there were very few people in the sect, and the people of the Suyu Sect were only about 200,000 people, which was the result of a part of the expansion before the war, and the Suyu Sect was mostly a vassal force.

These are all relatively reliable manpower of Suyuzong, most of these manpower have been mobilized to fight on various fronts, and the rest must also be stationed in various important places, so that manpower has become the shortcoming of Suyuzong, and this shortcoming is also the shortcoming of the Immortal Alliance.

After the inspection, Tang Shuwen immediately summoned the heads of the rest of the sects of the Immortal Alliance to come to the discussion, including the people of the Shenmu Sect, although the ancestor of the Shenmu Sect had signs of making peace with Lin Xiao, but Tang Shuwen did not dare to make it public, which would hurt morale very much, and the Shenmu Sect and Mu Wanqiu were not of the same mind, the Shenmu Sect did not have any new moves, that is, they had no strength, and the people who escaped from the Asking Immortal Gate were all defeated and arrested by Lin Xiao, unlike Ziyunguan, most of them went home.

"Lin Xiao wrote to Lu Leiyuan's strategy, you have all read it."

"I've seen it, this is Yangmou, as Lin Xiao said, after our bulk materials are counted, there will be problems, there are previous savings, now there is no problem, but at most it will support half a year, and the shortage will begin after half a year, the first shortage is Lingmi, I never thought that the huge Immortal Alliance would be stumped by the small Lingmi"

"I didn't expect that now the spiritual rice reserves of each sect are very small, it is estimated that it will not last for half a year, and the spiritual rice planted by many forces is not enough to eat, they are all planting spiritual medicine or other more valuable things in exchange for resources, there used to be imports from all over the world, and now with the war, the spiritual rice from all over the country will not be able to enter."

"Yes, there is a sect under my Seven Star Pavilion that is all used to grow spiritual hemp, made into rune paper, and there is no spiritual rice at all, and now as soon as the news spreads, they also began to rush to buy spiritual rice, which immediately caused the price to rise, Tang Laozu, I suspect that this is a trap, Yang Mou"

"Don't doubt it, it's Yangmou, this is Lin Xiao's intention, he is fighting an economic war with us"

"Economic warfare, what does that mean?"

"Lin Xiao told me a long time ago, I didn't understand it before, but now I understand, is the war fought by people, no, it's money, it takes resources to camp and settle down, the magic weapons, spirit runes, and equipment used by monks to fight need resources, the monks' food, clothing, shelter and transportation need resources, the battleship needs resources to go to war, everything needs resources, where do resources come from, it is bought by money, Xuanjing is our money, have you ever thought about it, we don't even have many Xuanjing now"

Tang Shuwen sighed and said, he has been with Lin Xiao for a long time, and he knows a lot of theories from Lin Xiao, but he didn't understand them before and didn't take them seriously, but after the war broke out, he found that many of Lin Xiao's theories were extremely advanced.

Lin Xiao's strategy to Lu Leiyuan is very clear, strategic depth, population, this is what the Immortal Alliance lacks, the Kunlun family of the Five Continents Alliance can control the three families of Nanzhou, Xizhou, and Beizhou, providing them with great strategic depth, and also allowing them to have enough men and horses to fight and produce, but the Immortal Alliance does not.

"Xuanjing's expenditure seems to be very small, the Xuanjing mine in the Central Continent has been almost dug up, and we don't have much under the command of each sect, in the past, we used some high-level, strategic resources to exploit the monks of the various continents, and they provided it, but now that the war has started, the exchanges between the two sides have stopped, and Xuanjing has not been remitted in large quantities, and it is not enough to rely on the mines of our various sects alone."

"Doesn't that mean that we lack everything but high-level resources?"

"That's pretty much it"

"What can I do?"

The major principals panicked, in the past, they used to make money with high added value through the resources of the high-level Dan Fu Array, and they could earn hundreds of thousands of millions of Xuanjing with a furnace of sixth-order pills, and if they controlled the quantity, they could earn more, but now the customers have become enemies, who buys with you, who makes you exploit, they are not short of high-level resources, but the gap in low-level resources is too big.

"So this is the content of today's discussion with you, you must do a good job of statistics after you go back, what is lacking and how much, our Immortal League must make overall planning, and the other is to speed up production, we are not without territory, the territory controlled by the various sects and mountain gates, the secret realm, there are many spiritual fields, and what we lack is manpower.

So the way we can take is to vacate the cage for birds, our own people, reliable, gather into the mountain gate, and plant in the secret realm, and those territories outside are recruited to plant, and then the Five Continents Alliance will not attack on a large scale, we are fighting for consumption.

We also have a way out is Dongzhou, Dongzhou controls a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, and there are tens of millions of monks who have not been mobilized, we don't need them to send out any more people, we want materials, a Qiluo Pill is worth tens of millions of Xuanjing, let them take the spirit rice, take the low-level Dan rune array to exchange, if it is the spirit rice, it can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of catties, enough for us to last until next year, as long as our production keeps up, we will not collapse"

"Seven Spirits Pill for Spirit Rice, this is too much of a loss."

"The loss is also a loss to their own people, Dongzhou must be stabilized, if they throw themselves to the opposite side again, we are completely stabilized, and we must be careful Lin Xiao, this person definitely knows the way of economic warfare, what tricks he will make, I don't know yet, but I guess it's to raise the price, and then smuggle these tricks"

Tang Shuwen replied that he had already gathered relevant people to form a think tank to give advice on these issues, and they predicted that Lin Xiao would probably walk some news, cause panic, drive up prices, and then smuggle some very low-value spiritual rice to make a profit and bleed for the Immortal League.

"Old Ancestor Tang, Lin Xiao is so threatening, why don't you find a way to assassinate him?"

"I'm already arranging, but killing Lin Xiao won't have much effect, as long as the Five Continents Alliance continues to implement this strategy, we can't stand it."

"Old Ancestor Tang, how about it be better to defeat the army of the Five Continents Alliance in one go, we can't let tens of millions of monks waste on the front line."

"yes, let's do it quickly."

"Instead of sitting still, let's give it a go"

"Ladies and gentlemen, how can we have the ability to work hard now, our Immortal Alliance only has more than 20 million monks, plus the five million in Dongzhou, it is not much, not to mention, ask the Immortal Sect to have that kind of background, Kunlun and Penglai will not have it?"

"Old Ancestor Tang, do you mean we are doomed?"

"Old Ancestor Tang, what do you want to do?"

Tang Shuwen's words made everyone extremely frightened, this kind of foreseeable doom made them extremely pessimistic and desperate, all kinds of power comparisons, all kinds of resource comparisons, they all fell into absolute weakness, continue, what awaits them is a dead end, no one wants to die.

"Don't worry, it's not that we don't have a chance to win, we just hope it's smaller, but I can assure you that the worst is to get out."

"What guarantees do you take?"

"Yes, Old Ancestor Tang, you are hiding at this time, what is it?"

"Demon Clan"

"Demon Clan?"

"That's right, it's the demon clan, when Ziyunguan and Shenmu Sect were just defeated, Lu Leiyuan sent me a message, telling me that I wanted to negotiate peace, but I didn't agree, and then I thought about it carefully, it should be that the demon clan has moved, I sent someone to check, it's true, taking the East China Sea as an example, Penglai just relaxed for decades, and the East China Sea demon clan made a comeback, it is conceivable that the demon clan is still not dead to our human race, and wants to completely defeat us, this war is their opportunity, if the demon clan changes, do you think Nanzhou wants to go back, Kunlun still wants to support Xizhou, do they still have the strength to deal with us again？”

Tang Shuwen replied, don't look at them now, but it's not that they don't have a chance, Lu Leiyuan also saw this situation, and was worried in his heart, otherwise they would have called over a long time ago.
