Ye Yongzhang opened his mouth and asked, "Shoushan, what's the situation on the Hu family's side?" ”

In addition to recruiting loose cultivators, the family now also plans to unite with the Hu family to resist the erosion of the Shen family. If the Hu family joins and the two families unite, the pressure they will face will be much less.

Ye Shoushan shook his head and said, "The Hu family didn't give exact news, they only said that they would think about it again." ”

The Hu family, who is also from the Zhuji family, is not having a very good time now. The Shen family's rampant expansion more or less eroded the interests of the Hu family.

However, the head of the Hu family is a cautious old fox. The Shen family's main target now is the Ye family, and the Hu family does not want to openly confront the Shen family now.

The Shen family's expansion began ten years ago when Shen Changhuan was promoted to the elder of the Wuji Sect. The Shen family, which was originally strong, became even more unscrupulous after having a backer.

With the support of the elders, the Shen family pulled up the tiger skin and expanded without any scruples. The Shen family needs Shen Changhuan to take care of him, and Shen Changhuan also needs the Shen family to provide some cultivation resources and manpower to enhance his foundation in the Wuji Sect.

The Ye family originally had a clan member in the Wuji Sect, but they died in resisting the attack of the beast tide thirty years ago. In this way, the Ye family lost a backer in the Wuji Sect.

The ancestor of the Ye family died in battle for the Wuji Sect, and the Wuji Sect naturally would not treat the Ye family badly, in addition to issuing a pension, he also promised to protect the Ye family.

That being said, the meaning expressed is meaningful. Wuji Sect promised to protect the Ye family, but for the industry under the name of the Ye family, it did not make a corresponding commitment.

In addition, Shen Changhuan had already been promoted to the elder of the Wuji Sect, and the other elders of the Wuji Sect had already heard of these small actions made by the Shen family. But they all open one eye, close one eye, and protect themselves, there is no need to provoke an elder for the sake of a small Ye family.

The Hu family now also has people serving in the Wuji Sect, but unfortunately it is only a deacon position, and compared with Shen Changhuan's elders, the status is very different.

The position of the Wuji Sect is highly hierarchical. The most basic layer is the disciple, above which are the deacons, then the elders, and then the heads, and the highest status is the Jindan Ancestor.

Although there are still refinements in this, the overall level is like this.

The deacon of the Hu family belonged to the camp of other elders, and even if he wanted to report the expansion of the Shen family, he was stopped. All he could do was try to ensure that his family was not swallowed up by the Shen family.

The Hu family was forced by the pressure of the Shen family and did not dare to openly confront the Shen family. Therefore, it is a vague attitude towards the Ye family's request for help.

It's not that the Hu family doesn't know the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the Ye family is annexed by the Shen family later, the Hu family will have to face the pressure of the Shen family alone.

But they are just helpless now, if it really comes to that point, they can still speak in the Wuji Sect, and there will be no danger of extinction.

Ye Yongzhang sighed and said, "Shoushan, you go and communicate again." We must bring the Hu family over. If the Hu family were on the same line as us, we would be able to buy more time. ”

Ye Shoushan's face was embarrassed, but he still nodded and agreed.

Ye Yongzhang turned to Ye Yongkang and asked, "How is Shouyi's side, and how sure are you that you can be promoted to deacon?" ”

Ye Shouyi was sent to Wuji Sect as a registered disciple when he was more than ten years old, and now he has been in Wuji Sect for more than thirty years, and his current position is only an inner disciple.

At the beginning, Ye Shouyi, Ye Shouyuan and Ye Shoushan can be called the hope of the Ye family. However, the Ye family did not have enough resources at that time, so they could only do their best to cultivate one person.

Therefore, Ye Shouyuan took the initiative to give up and proposed to be stationed in the Gongfa Pavilion, abandon all mundane things, and concentrate on cultivation. Ye Shouyi was in Wuji Sect, and he also refused to allow his family to issue cultivation resources for him.

The whole family is united, so that Ye Shoushan has been cultivated by the family, and now he has the cultivation of building a foundation, which is not unrelated to the cultivation of the family and the way of the other two brothers.

"Shouyi is now a cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and it is only one step away from building a foundation. But with his current savings, it was not enough to replace one Tsukidan. Ye Yongkang said.

When Ye Yongzhang heard this, his face was overjoyed, and this can be regarded as one of the few pieces of good news. "Don't worry about Tsukidan's affairs, we'll figure it out for him. How much worse is it now? ”

"There are still about 5,000 spirit stones left. Shouyi himself had accumulated three thousand spirit stones, plus the two thousand spirit stones he had borrowed from the Wuji Sect, and there was a gap of five thousand spirit stones. Ye Yongkang said.

Ye Yongzhang's face was bitter, five thousand spirit stones, this is not a small amount. He gritted his teeth, "You call Shouyi, don't worry, we will find a way to help him make up for the remaining spirit stones." ”

Ye Yongkang also knew that there were not many spirit stones left in the family now, and said: "Shouyi also knows that the family is in difficulty now, if the family really can't get the spirit stones, he can wait for another ten years." ”

Every ten years, the Wuji Sect will refine the Zhuji Dan of the Yidan Furnace for the subordinate forces, and these Zhuji Dan can be obtained with spirit stones or sect contribution points.

The price of one Zhuji Dan is 10,000 spirit stones, that is, 10,000 sect contribution points.

If the normal price is good, sometimes there are many monks who want to build a foundation, and the supply of Zhuji Dan exceeds demand, and its price is much higher.

"No, not only can't we afford to keep righteousness now, but we can't afford to do it either. You tell him not to worry, the rest of the resources, the family will definitely find a way to make up for it. Ye Yongzhang raised his hand and interrupted.

The family now needs a person who can speak in the Wuji Sect, if Ye Shouyi serves as a deacon in the Wuji Sect, the Shen family is afraid of Ye Shouyi's identity as a deacon, and the expansion behavior will be much more restrained.

What the Ye family needs most now is time, even if helping Ye Shouyi build a foundation this time will cause the Ye family to suffer losses, but as long as it can be exchanged for a certain buffer time, it will be acceptable to the Ye family.

"This time, the Wuji Sect's Zhuji Dan Cheng Dan should be within this year. We're going to hurry. Ye Yongzhang said.

If it is decided that Kiedan will be built this time, the time will be more urgent.

But fortunately, Ye Yongzhang himself is a rune master, and he can refine spirit runes by himself in his spare time to supplement the expenses of the clan.

Now, in order to make enough spirit stones for Ye Shouyi, Ye Yongzhang now has to use most of his time to refine spirit runes.

Second-order spirit runes are very valuable, especially Ye Yongzhang's strength in building the foundation of the Great Perfection, and the ones that are refined are all second-order high-grade spirit runes, but they can be sold for a lot of money.

But refining spirit runes is a relatively time-consuming thing after all, and in this year's time, Ye Yongzhang can only refine two or three spirit runes at most.

The three of them discussed this matter, and all that remained was how to make up the five thousand spirit stones that were still vacant within a year.

Ye Yongzhang was still a little uneasy, "Zhuji Dan has always been a fragrant bait that monks must fight for, and there may be a lot of risks in winning 10,000 spirit stones."

We still have to prepare both hands and prepare as many spirit stones as possible in case we need them. ”

The other two all nodded in agreement with Ye Yongzhang's opinion. Since he intends to exchange for Tsukidan, he must take it as much as possible, so as not to have a situation where the bamboo basket will be empty.
