Chapter 478: Backbone
The arrival newspaper is similar to the Fang newspaper, publishing major events in the immortal cultivation world, military information, and various news.
The only difference is that the content of the report contains confidential information, which is restricted to monks above the Purple Mansion Realm of the sect and monks with the title of elder.
When Zhao Lin was in the late stage of building the foundation realm, he had the qualifications to read the report.
"There was a riot in Lirizong, tungsten concentrate was stopped, the price rose three times, and there was no supply ...... in the Tanglin realm"
"The new suzerain of the Tingxi Sect came to power, tore up the agreement with the Chenghua Sect, and stopped selling the ...... of the Cinnabe Mine"
"The Liuling Strait is seriously plagued by bandits, and cargo ships cannot pass ......"
After reading a few articles, Zhao Lin's face gradually became gloomy.
These pieces of information happened all over the Xuanyuan Continent, and they didn't seem to be related to each other, but in fact, they all had a big hand behind their backs: the Taiyin Sect.
The purpose is to cut off the supply of Chenghuazong!
Refining top-grade magic weapons, such as battle armor and war boats, especially large warships, requires extremely high hull materials.
The best material is gold, which can greatly increase the hardness and toughness of the alloy by adding a little bit to it, absorbing spell attacks and providing strong protection.
Most of the places where the gold is produced are controlled by the Taiyin Sect, and there are garrisons in the local area.
In the early years, when Chenghua Sect was not very strong, it could still exchange precious resources for a little.
Since more than a hundred years ago, the Chenghua Sect has gradually become stronger and threatened the position of the Taiyin Sect, and they have blocked the gold channel.
After years of research, the Refining Hall has created a substitute for the "Nine Turns of Refined Gold", which is a little worse in strength, but it can also create a second-class battleship.
After the Taiyin Sect discovered this situation, it began to block the channels of the Nine Turns of Essence Gold-related materials.
If this problem is not solved, the Refining Hall will face the dilemma of having no rice to cook.
Zhao Lin pursed his lips and flipped to the next page.
What caught my eye was an article titled "Be Wary of Chenghuazong Waging War".
Seeing this title, Zhao Lin almost got angry.
Ma De, Cheng Huazong has been recuperating, politely doing business with the surrounding sects, never taking the initiative to stir up trouble, and there is such a heart-wrenching argument.
However, seeing that the person who wrote this article was a Denis Sect monk from the Western world, Zhao Lin was also relieved.
These people always have an idea: I have done shameless things after I became strong, so you will definitely do the same when you are strong.
Typical bandit thinking.
Zhao Lin looked at it patiently.
The article said that the strength of the Chenghua Sect was already very small and the gap between it and the Taiyin Sect, and it had even surpassed it in a certain field.
The culture of the Chenghua sect is different from that of other sects, and as the oldest sect, she has a unique spirit of collectivism and sacrifice.
Every Chenghua Sect monk may have a tendency to self-sacrifice when faced with a crisis in the sect.
Even aspires to be a martyr and leave a name for eternity.
This is very rare in other sects!
In the Chenghua Sect, if a monk dies in battle for the sect, in addition to the sadness of relatives and friends, the entire sect will also be sentimental.
Erect a monument for it and pass it on through the ages.
When the sect faced a catastrophe, the monks of the Chenghua Sect were willing to go to the soup and fire and save the sect with their lives.
This sect has a terrifying ability to mobilize, as long as you do one thing, the entire sect will obey, which is unthinkable in other sects.
You must know that the great power of the monk belongs to himself, and the idea of selfishness is engraved in his bones. The monks of the Chenghua Sect are different, they are willing to protect the peace of future generations, and are even regarded as inferior mortals.
Thousands of years ago, in the great war of the sect, although the Chenghua Sect was saved from the extinction of the sect, it was invaded by multiple sects and signed unequal treaties in succession, which was the crux of every monk's heart.
The history of humiliation made everyone in the Chenghua Sect hold their breath and yearn to revitalize the sect again.
They aspire to be strong, to stand on top of the continent again.
The most striking characteristic of the monks of the Chenghua Sect is that they are resilient and always think that their sect is the strongest.
Compare anything, never with a certain sect, but with a "foreign sect".
No matter how many difficulties they went through, they always had hope in their hearts, because the Chenghua Sect had been the most powerful sect for 50,000 years.
This has created a sect that no matter how low and weak the sect is, the monk still recognizes his sect in his heart.
This is also the most threatening aspect of Chenghua Sect.
Today, the number of monks in Chenghua Sect is the largest in the continent, and the number of monks who are proficient in the four great arts is extremely large.
In the war, it is the number of monks, cultivation, and the ability to make spirit boats, magic weapons, magic circles, and elixirs.
Cheng Huazong undoubtedly has great potential in this regard.
Once a war is waged, it will become the most terrible war machine.
There are only two scenarios that can bring this war machine to a halt.
One, it is that she destroys all the enemies.
Second, the last monk of Chenghua Sect died.
Finally, the monk said in the article: "More than 1,000 years have passed since the Great War of the Sect, and the Chenghua Sect is still preparing for the possible Great War of the Sect, constantly expanding the number of war repairs, and strengthening the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of War. ”
"We are still making warboats. Someone once counted that the number of warships manufactured by Chenghua Sect was more than the number of warships manufactured by all other sects on the continent combined! In less than fifty years, it will surpass the Taiyin Sect. ”
"I once asked a familiar monk of the Chenghua Sect a question: What do you want to do when you are working so hard?"
"The monk of the Chenghua Sect replied: Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and never be bullied again."
After reading the article, Zhao Lin was silent for a while.
Although the observation of this Denis monk was biased, it was not unreasonable.
He is now considered a high-level sect, and he knows a lot about the sect war thousands of years ago.
It was the darkest hour of the Chenghua Sect, because of the retreat and locking the sect, the development direction was deviated, resulting in the overall backwardness of the Four Great Avenues.
Although the monk's cultivation is still very strong, in the face of the monk of the outer sect wearing battle armor and driving an advanced warship, he has no power to resist, and he is completely filling it with human lives.
But even at this moment of crisis, there were monks in the sect who continued to go forward and succeed, giving up the hope of immortality and resolutely going to die.
Even the only descendant of the suzerain, his grandson, died in the war.
All the sects that fought against the Chenghua Sect understood a truth: if there was only one Chenghua Sect monk left in a spiritual vein, then they had to be careful, this monk would rather detonate the magic circle than surrender.
The more he learned about this history, the more Zhao Lin recognized the sect he was in.
It is the culture and bloodline that make this sect endless, long-standing, and passed on.
"Elder Zhao, the sect master has summoned you to the council hall to assemble."
A disciple walked into the lobby and saluted.
"yes, I see."
Zhao Lin put away the report, sorted out his thoughts, and walked out of the inner hall. (End of chapter)
