Since the beginning of the war, the war has been carried out before the soldiers and horses have been moved.

The news of the Tutu War has not yet spread, and the prices of pills, talismans, magic weapons, magic circles and other resources in several large squares in southern Xinjiang have risen to varying degrees.

The Zhao family benefited from the relationship with the Ge family and became the second wave of families to know the inside story.

Zhao Sheng knew very well that the news would not be hidden for long at all.

A month at most, seven or eight days at the least.

The news that the Jade Leaf Ancestor was going to launch a war to expand the territory would inevitably spread throughout the southern Xinjiang.

Southern Xinjiang has not waged a war to expand its territory for nearly 500 years.

Zhao Sheng could imagine that a large fragrant cake suddenly placed in front of countless immortal cultivators in southern Xinjiang would definitely attract countless participants who were eager to eat the dividends of the war.

This is a carnival feast shared by sects, immortal cultivators, and scattered cultivators.

At that time, there will definitely be many immortal cultivation families taking advantage of the situation to rise, and there will also be some forces that have suffered heavy casualties, and they will collapse or even die out from then on.

Wars have always been cruel, and this is especially true of the wars in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The territorial consciousness of the demon beasts is extremely strong, and if the immortal cultivators want to open up a new humane fertile land in southern Xinjiang, they will inevitably start a protracted, life-and-death war with thousands of demon beasts.

For the Zhao family, the Tuotu War was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Because there is a recognized tradition in the Frontier War, that is, who fights, who occupies! Whoever pioneers, who owns.

To put it simply. If you can occupy a piece of spiritual land and successfully carve it out.

Then, this spiritual land belongs to you.

The reason for this tradition is that "a forest cannot be made alone".

Developing a region has never been something that one or two people or even one or two forces can do easily.

Even if the Danding faction is strong enough to do it, if it chooses to eat alone, it will be angry.

After the Yulin Ancestor cut the largest piece of cake, he would often release the remaining corners for other forces to snatch.

It's just that there are countless forces in the Southern Xinjiang Immortal Cultivation Clan and sect, and it depends on the personal opinion of the Yulin Ancestor to choose which forces to participate in it at that time.

And this is where the Zhao family's opportunity lies.

Long before he came back, Zhao Xuanan took his wife Ge Feng'er back to Ge's house to visit relatives.

It is obviously to visit relatives, but in fact, it is to inquire about the news.

Once any useful information is obtained, it will be immediately transmitted back to Taiwu Mountain.

The Zhao family has three foundation building monks, and Zhao Sheng sits in Taiwu Mountain, responsible for summarizing and analyzing information, and mobilizing and issuing various instructions to the clansmen at any time.

Zhao Jinjian, who is already the third layer of the foundation, is the strongest, and now he is in Jiudingfang City, while buying various materials such as pills for the family, while protecting the safety of the clan and materials.

In order to secretly collect materials, most of the more than 30 immortal cultivators of the Zhao family have been scattered to Jiudingfang City.

Zhao Keru plunged into the alchemy room and began to refine various pills such as the Miasma Breaking Pill and the Rejuvenation Pill day and night.

There are many deep mountains and old forests in the barren areas of southern Xinjiang, full of miasma Gu insects, and the miasma pill is a necessary pill.

Rejuvenation pill is a healing elixir, needless to say.

In order to obtain the ownership of a piece of spiritual land, the Zhao family can be said to have used all their strength and heritage this time.

Time passed, and on the wall in front of Zhao Sheng, countless expired information was ruthlessly torn off, but more notes were pasted up.

When the Tutuo War spread throughout southern Xinjiang, the Zhao family's material reserve work had only been done for a small time.

Zhao Sheng was very worried, not because of the lack of materials, but because he found that the family had a weakness that was difficult to make up.

Most importantly, this weakness is likely to determine the family's ultimate success or failure.

In the early morning of the next day, the smoke curled in Zhao Ancheng, and it was quiet and peaceful.

But in the city lord's mansion in the center of the inner city, the more tense the atmosphere became, and the servants in the mansion didn't dare to take a breath.

Zhao Sheng sat at the top of the lobby and silently looked at the seven Zhao clansmen below.

Zhao Ancheng was built for nearly 30 years, and the Zhao family has multiplied from more than 3,000 people to nearly 10,000 people.

But there are only seven innate martial artists in these nearly 10,000 people.

This is a bit small for the Zhao family, which started with martial arts.

You must know that the Zhao family will give a lot of essence pills every year, plus the many experience codexes left by the innate martial artists of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family should not have only seven innates. In Zhao Sheng's opinion, it should at least exceed a dozen.

The so-called born in sorrow and died in peace!

"Alas, it seems that the Zhao family has become slack again over the years!"

After Zhao Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, his face became extremely cold.

He turned his head to look at the contemporary patriarch of the Zhao clan who was worried next to him, and ordered in a cold voice: "I don't care what method you use. Within a year, twenty congenitals must be gathered, one less. Give up the seat of your patriarch to someone else! ”

Hearing this strict request, the patriarch of the Zhao clan, who was known for his shrewdness and ability, almost cried.

The innate grandmaster is not a cabbage, how can he say that he can grow when he grows.

He was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but after seeing Zhao Sheng's serious expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and had to nod silently.

The Zhao family now has a very tricky weakness.

In a normal immortal cultivation family, the strength of the clansmen is often pyramid-shaped from top to bottom.

However, the Zhao family is in the shape of dumbbells with high on both sides and low in the middle, and the backbone of the middle and late stages of qi refining is seriously scarce.

With the passing of the older generation such as Zhao Jinding of the Zhao family, the Zhao family and the Chong generation add up to only twelve, only two in the late stage of qi refining, six in the middle stage, and the remaining four are in the early stage of qi refining, which is not of great use.

When it came to the Xuanzi generation, the number of people was almost thirty, but Zhao Xuanjing, who had the highest cultivation, was only the eighth layer of qi refining, followed by Zhao Xuan'an, who was only six layers of qi refining, and most of the rest were only one or two layers of qi refining.

Zhao Sheng had secretly estimated that the strongest of the three foundation-building monks in the family was only a third-layer foundation building cultivator, and Zhao Keru was not good at fighting.

It was not impossible to lay down a spiritual land with the strength of the three of them, but it was very difficult.

And that's not all.

What's even more difficult is how to keep your soul alive under the watchful eyes of outsiders and demon beasts.

However, the most tricky thing for the Zhao family now is that there is a serious shortage of available manpower.

You must know that to open up a new spiritual land in the southern wilderness, ordinary people are useless at all, and at least they must be innate martial artists.

Because it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to adapt to the extremely harsh environment of the wasteland, sometimes a little miasma can take a person's life, not to mention those ferocious demon beasts and Gu worms.

It's a pity that the Zhao family's background is too thin, far less rich than other old Zhuji families, and they can't afford to hire a loose cultivator to help the boxer.

Joining forces with other families?

Zhao Sheng would not choose to do this unless he had to.

Because trust in each other is a big problem.

You can never underestimate a cultivator's family's desire for an autonomous spiritual land.

In the same way, you can't trust any family's promises, not even if you sign a blood contract.

In the hierarchical Central Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, if an immortal cultivation family does not have its own spiritual land, it will always be at the bottom of the immortal cultivation realm.
