Tiandu Peak, Tianyi Hall.

It was almost dusk, and Qu Changsheng had just finished listening to the monthly cultivation progress reports of the seven disciples who had entered the room, as well as the explanation of the situation of the disciples of the council of directors dealing with the chores of the sect, and was motioning for the disciples to step down.

I saw Qu Zhi hurriedly come out of the back hall, walked up to Qu Changsheng, and bowed to him, his face full of worry.

Qu Changsheng said: "Zhijing, what happened, so panicked? ”

Qu Zhi hurriedly explained the situation, and after Qu Changsheng heard it, he frowned and thought thoughtfully.

It turned out that what Qu Zhijing had worried about before finally happened.

Although it only took more than two months for Fang Buyi to reach the first layer of the Qi Refining Period. However, the number of spirit stones spent was completely beyond the acceptable range.

Ever since Fang Buyi successfully refined the first low-rank spirit stone and broke through the first layer of the Qi Refining Period, his demand for spirit stones had reached an astronomical level.

Originally, only one low-level spirit stone was needed every day, and running it for a week according to the exercises of the "Nine Ding Jue" could make Fang Buyi exhausted and fall asleep.

Seven days later, the consumption of Fang Buyi Spirit Stone increased to five pieces per day. And it seems that as long as he continues to cultivate, the consumption will continue to rise.

It has to be said that this is a huge overhead. Qu Zhi didn't have the power to make his own decisions, so he immediately ran to the main hall and told his father about the situation.

Although Qu Changsheng was mentally prepared, when he heard it, he was still a little secretly frightened.

He had long known from the historical records of Tianyi Sect that cultivating a container of pure ethereal roots required a lot of resources, so Fang Buyi's situation was still in his expectations.

But those historical records are not only old, but also vague, and there is no detailed figure on how much it will cost.

According to the history books, five thousand years ago, the Tianyi Sect was a veritable number one sect in the world, and with the power of only one sect, it could compete with the nine great powers of the Shenzhou Continent and be invincible.

Tianyi Gate is not only powerful, but also rich and rivals the country, and has countless resources at its disposal. But even so, with the power of the whole faction, it could only cultivate a container of pure ethereal roots.

When Qu Changsheng read this history, he didn't have any personal feelings about the cultivation of this container. I thought to myself, as long as I could find a person with a pure ethereal root, why not cultivate him into a good vessel?

It wasn't until Qu Zhi explained Fang Buyi's situation to him that he really realized that it was not so simple to cultivate a real container.

Qu Changsheng thought to himself: "At this rate, the number of spirit stones consumed by that kid is only afraid that it will soon reach more than dozens of pieces per day." With my Tianyimen's current financial resources, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it. Could it be that for him alone, let me drink the northwest wind from 2,000 people up and down the Tianyi Gate? ”

"What's more, he just needs a low-level spirit stone now. When he needs a large number of mid-rank and high-grade spirit stones, he is afraid that even one country will not be able to support him. Could it be that my desire to revive the majesty of my Tianyi Sect is just wishful thinking after all? ”

Thinking of the ideal of revitalizing Menwei, I couldn't help but feel hot in my chest, and felt that it was worth doing anything, so I said to Qu Zhijing at the moment: "I don't believe it, we can't raise a stinky boy in Tianyimen?" We will give as much as he needs! Just offer him like an ancestor, take one step at a time, and then make plans when the time comes. ”

In fact, Qu Changsheng had already made another decision in his heart, although this decision made him feel humiliated, and there was also a certain risk, but for the revival of Tianyi Sect, he couldn't care so much.

※※

Five days later, a team of more than 30 Shang officers and soldiers appeared on the square in front of the Tianyi Palace.

Led by Gong Xiaolian, Minister of Military Status, Wei Sancong, Minister of Armaments, and Tang Desong, Governor of Chenzhou.

That Gong Xiaolian and Wei Sancong were both cultivators of the Great Perfection of the Jindan Period, and they deliberately released powerful spiritual pressure from top to bottom, without restraint, obviously intending to show off their might here.

That Tang Desong was a tall and mighty late warrior with a golden body, and his strength was equal to that of the late Jindan. He was triumphant, exuding the characteristic style and aura of a samurai, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Qu Changsheng arrived at the square early, and when he saw the officers and soldiers arriving, he hurriedly greeted him. Qu Zhijing followed him, his face gloomy and his expression serious.

Although Qu Changsheng was also a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Jindan Period, he restrained his spiritual power as a sign of politeness. He saluted the three of them and said slowly: "Lord Gong, Lord Wei, Lord Tang, the three of them have come from afar, Qu Lao'er has missed the welcome, please forgive me!" ”

That Gong Xiaolian returned the salute and said with a smile: "Qu Immortal Master is polite, I have heard the name of Qu Immortal Master the number one refiner in the world for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to visit, and it is really a great honor to see it today!" ”

That Wei Sancong said: "Exactly! Brother Gong and I have admired the immortal master's reputation for a long time, and we have also visited the door, but the immortal master does not know what earth-shattering magic weapon he is refining, and he has been in retreat and refuses to see it. Although Brother Gong and I were unwilling, we had no choice but to take advantage of the excitement and return disappointed. This time, the immortal master is willing to give us a meeting, which is really giving us face. ”

That Tang Desong snorted and hugged Qu Changsheng with a fist, but did not speak.

It turned out that he was entrusted by the Ministry of War, and he came to Tiandu Peak several times and invited Qu Changsheng to serve as the chief refiner of the Shang State Armament Battalion, but Qu Changsheng was turned away.

He wanted to be a state lieutenant himself, in charge of the military power of the three armies in one state, and came to visit in person, but he refused to even see him. If it weren't for the order from above, he would have led 10,000 elite soldiers to attack the mountain and annihilate this Tianyi Gate in one fell swoop.

In today's world, the cultivation sect in the world is in decline, and almost all the resources such as spiritual veins and spiritual ores are in the hands of the armies of various countries. The Chenzhou army under Tang Desong, there were more than 10,000 monks in the foundation period and warriors in the bone refining period, and it was really easy to exterminate a sect of more than 2,000 people.

Since he complained about Qu Changsheng, he naturally didn't have a good face when he saw him this time.

Qu Changsheng smiled and said, "The three adults came here today for the sake of my Qu Lao'er, and Qu Lao'er is very grateful." Come on, come on, everyone has worked hard from afar, please come to the temple and talk about it. ”

At that moment, a group of officers and soldiers were led to the main hall. Everyone thought that Gong Xiaolian had the highest official position and the most noble status, and pushed him to sit on the first seat. Wei Sancong and Tang Desong were on the left, and Qu Changsheng and Qu Zhi were on the right.

The rest of the officers and soldiers sat at the last table with some Tianyi disciples.

Everyone sat down, and Gong Xiaolian said: "Qu Xianshi, you are the host, can you say a few words first?" Qu Changsheng said: "The three adults came from afar to serve as the chief refiner of the armament battalion in Xia, and they feel honored and favored in the next, thank you here in advance!" ”

Wei Sancong said: "Immortal Master Qu is polite. Qu Xianshi was willing to agree to the invitation of the lower to serve as the chief refiner of the armament battalion of the Shang State, and he also had a great deal of face in front of the monarch. In the future, we will be colleagues and brothers, and it is needless to say that we will support each other and serve the country in the future. ”
