Chapter 343: There Is No Eternal Peace

As soon as the country of Lu fell, the country of Cang and the country of the eclipse of heaven followed, and soon reached a peace agreement with the country of Wu, these two countries and the country of Wu did not have a deep hatred, naturally without any harsh conditions, it was almost an equal peace.

In this way, the four countries were all temporarily peaceful, and the fighting in the southwestern tip of the entire Nanzhou stopped, which made many loose cultivators applaud, because this peaceful environment was more conducive to making a living for them.

The monks and mortals of the Lu Kingdom were also very happy, because they were free from the dangers of war, and they did not have to die on the battlefield for fear of the invasion of the Wu Kingdom, and most of the people could live with peace of mind.

Wuguo is also very happy, there is no need to launch a brutal annexation war, there is no need to go to the battlefield to gain benefits, and you can become a proud Wuguo person.

Cangguo and Tianyi are also very happy, there is no need to have a long-term arms race because of the threat of the Wu Kingdom, and a large number of resources are consumed in it, so they can have time to cultivate more outstanding disciples, and they can develop with peace of mind.

It seems that peace is satisfying to everyone, even the few conspirators and ambitionists, but they are powerless to stop the trend.

A year after the end of the negotiations, the five states that were abandoned by the Lu State were completely annexed to the Wu State and became the territory of the Wu State, and they could see clearly that compared to the already decaying Lu State, the young Wu State was more beneficial to them, and naturally knew how to choose.

Therefore, the five prefectures and counties have become the five provinces of Wuguo, and the administrative division of Wuguo has twelve provinces, and the territory of Wuguo has also become the largest in the southwest of Nanzhou, with a radius of more than 13,000 li.

However, the sense of belonging to the Wu Kingdom in the five states and counties that have just been incorporated is still very low, and the previous Tianyun Prefecture system has not really included them, at least for decades or hundreds of years.

And the administrative system of mortals does not impose requirements on them, but only gives them a template to manage by themselves, and as for the result, no one cares.

In fact, the mortal administrative management system of the entire Martial Kingdom was only really established by Zhili Dao, because only the Heavenly Saint Sect really invested huge manpower and material resources to build it, and as for the rest of the states and counties, they were either half-hung or in name only, and many of the rules that were said when the country was founded were not really implemented.

Lin Xiao still didn't care about this, there were too many interests involved, and even the Heavenly Saint Sect couldn't really enforce them, so Lin Xiao was ready to slowly induce them to correct themselves, because Zhili Dao had already shown enough benefits.

When the Zhili Dao was first established, there were only less than five million mortals, but after decades of management by the Heavenly Saint Sect, the population had increased significantly, and now it has exceeded six million, an increase of more than one million in a few decades, which is a number that could only be increased by hundreds of years before.

There are more mortals, and the number of immortal cultivators born naturally increases, just in the Zhili Dao, the Heavenly Saint Sect can add more than 600 children with spiritual roots every year, such as today the disciples of the Holy Sect have exceeded 20,000, even after deducting various factors such as battle death, sitting, accidental disappearance, etc., it can increase by more than 300 people every year.

With so many new disciples getting started, the disciples of their excellent spiritual roots are also much higher, and every year there will be some disciples of the highest grade spiritual roots, and even occasionally there will be disciples of the best spiritual roots, and now there are already three people in the door who are the best spiritual roots.

These three people have all been cultivated by the sect, and their cultivation speed is extremely fast, which also puts a lot of pressure on many people in the sect, after all, they know that there will be more and more disciples of this kind of high-quality spiritual root in the future, if they don't work hard, they will suffer a lot in terms of resources.

After the negotiation was over, Lin Xiao went into retreat, this time the retreat lasted for ten years, and when he came out, Lin Xiao was already a third-layer cultivator of the spiritual light, and this layer of cultivation took more than thirty years for Lin Xiao, and was delayed by various things.

Lin Xiao even had to get rid of the position of head of the house, be his ancestor with peace of mind, and give up all the general affairs, but after consulting the system, he found that it didn't work, and the system didn't give why, so Lin Xiao couldn't do it.

In the second year after leaving the customs, the Dao Fruit Tree was ripe, and only one of the three Dao Fruits was sent to Baiyu City to let Li Muxue refine the Dao Ji Dan, and the other two were all made by Bai Xixi.

This time, Bai Xi did not disappoint Lin Xiao, and the two furnaces of Dao Ji Dan refined a total of eleven pills, and the level of alchemy improved a lot.

As for Li Muxue's side, there were eight, but this time Lin Xiao did not disclose the number, except for one that Li Muxue took and all of them were supplied to the night owl.

There are also as many as twenty Daogang monks in the night owl, but for the situation that the stall is getting bigger and bigger, this strength is still not enough, they also have thirty to fifty peripheral Daogang monks in their hands, if the night owl's strength is insufficient, it is easy to be turned against the guest.

The auction was as successful as ever, with more and more people participating, and the permanent population of Komeito City also increasing, having broken through the 30,000 population mark, and everything was so secure.

The sect has obtained a large number of Xuanjing, there has been no war for decades, and the sect's savings have been a lot, Lin Xiao began to exchange merit points in the sect, decades ago, Lin Xiao's merit points exceeded 50 million, and in the past few decades, Lin Xiao has not even received a monthly salary, all of them are saving, and the merit points have almost reached 70 million.

Therefore, Lin Xiao had to put some pressure on the sect, and he exchanged five million Xuanjing this year, and told Li Yiwen that he would exchange more than 500,000 Xuanjing every year in the future, until the merit points on the sect's side were exchanged, and the sect must be prepared.

And not only Lin Xiao's, the merit points owed by the sect to Li Muxue also exceeded 20 million, and Bai Xixi was almost 10 million, these three people were all owed by the sect, and they all had to start repaying.

Especially Bai Xixi, she is already ready to break through the aura, but the treasure of this breakthrough is still difficult to find, and the sect also has to make a difference, which is very difficult.

Now among the more than 20 Daogang monks in the sect, five of them have reached the twelfth layer of Daogang, and among these five people, Bai Xixi and Ye Nanyu have been polishing and precipitating for some years, and it is difficult to say when it will be consummated, but it will definitely not be long.

Back then, Lin Xiao and Li Muxue only spent more than ten years polishing and precipitating, but Lin Xiao and the two were demons, and they couldn't be judged at a normal speed, Bai Xixi and Ye Nanyu were estimated to take twenty or thirty years, and they had to take so long to do it, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.

For example, condensation, she didn't even have ten years of polishing and precipitation, but she has already paid a heavy price for this, that is, the foundation is insufficient, the potential is exhausted, decades have passed, she is still the first layer of aura, according to condensation herself, she can't even reach the twelfth layer of auralight in this life, let alone impact the divine void period.

Lin Xiao knew that Condensation had suffered this loss, so naturally he would not let them suffer any more losses, so he told them, don't worry, they must calm down, their age is not high, and there is still time.

In the entire Heavenly Saint Sect, after the thirty old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind that year, Lin Xiao's age was the oldest, and then Bai Xixi and Bai Zichen Xiaolin Xiao were how old, and then Xu Zhongsheng and Li Mingyang, but even so, they were not yet three hundred years old, and there was still a long way to go before the Daogang monk's five-hundred-year longevity limit.

On the contrary, Lin Xiao didn't know where to get Lingming Dan for them, on Dao Ji Dan, Lin Xiao made a very bad start, and used the system to exchange Dao Ji Dan for them, causing the later disciples to refuse to break through for a period of time, and some people even hated Lin Xiao because of this.

Afterwards, if Lin Xiao hadn't taken out the Dao Fruit Tree to make up for it, it was estimated that there would be a lot of trouble, so as a last resort, Lin Xiao would not have changed the Lingming Pill from the system anymore, and Lin Xiao couldn't afford to change it, a Lingming Pill was 30,000 points, and there would be more and more Lingguang monks in the future of the Heavenly Saint Sect, how could they afford it, and the rest of the points expenditure was also getting bigger and bigger.

In the past, Lin Xiao had enough a few thousand points, but now after a big battle, it is the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of points, even if it is the pill that supplies Lin Xiao for his own cultivation, it will cost more than 20,000 a year, and there are fifth-order magic weapons and the like.

Therefore, Lin Xiao's plan is to let Li Muxue refine the Lingming Pill, the Lingming Pill is still a fifth-order elixir, if Li Muxue is given a lot of support, she can still continue to improve her alchemy.

And Lin Xiao, the material of Lingming Pill, is actually silently collecting, Lingming Pill needs a total of more than three hundred kinds of materials, most of which are relatively easy to find, and can be bought on the market, only three main drugs are more precious.

Among them, the most difficult is the True Spirit Grass, the True Spirit Grass is a fifth-order high-grade Spirit Grass, the growth conditions are harsh, and it takes nearly two thousand years to mature, in the Heavenly Saint Sect's Elixir Garden, Lin Xiao used systematic means to continuously compress the maturity time It took more than three hundred years, after the last system upgrade, Lin Xiao exchanged three seedlings to plant, and now it is less than a hundred years.

After the points increased, Lin Xiao exchanged dozens more, but it would take longer, the True Spirit Grass was different from the Dao Fruit Tree, one was the grass that was pulled out after it was ripe, and the other was a tree, which bore fruit, and after the fruit was picked, it would mature in a few decades.

Therefore, those major sects in Central Continent all set aside a fifth-order spirit mountain separately, and planted the true spirit grass in a stepwise manner, as long as they survived the first one, they could form a cycle, and they could mature one every few decades or a hundred years in the future, ensuring that there would be no problems with the supply of the Lingming Pill, but unfortunately the Heavenly Saint Sect did not have this foundation.

Of course, Lin Xiao can also exchange the mature True Spirit Grass from the system, but this will have little meaning for the development of the sect, this kind of deformed development is very harmful to the sect, once Lin Xiao goes out for decades and does not come back, the entire sect will collapse, which is what Lin Xiao does not want to see.

So how to get Lingming Dan has become a difficult problem in Lin Xiao's hands, Li Muxue is not there, Lin Xiao has no choice but to find Bai Xixi and Ye Nanyu to discuss one or two.
