The news that the Purple Thunder Gate had taken refuge in the Hidden Sword Valley spread throughout Shanyang County during this time.

Feng Yin usually took a lot of benefits from the vassal sects, and he was pretentious, so the fact that the Purple Thunder Sect had switched to the Hidden Sword Valley was simply a big slap in his face.

Although in the end, under his mediation, the Purple Thunder Gate failed to capture the Flame Gate, and even on the surface, the Hidden Sword Valley withdrew its support for the Purple Thunder Gate.

However, in his opinion, what the Purple Thunder Gate did was not punished, so what would others think? Wouldn't it be a clear slap in the face of Feng Yin!

He returned to his own sect angrily and asked for a warrant from the head of the sect, Huang Puguang, intending to punish the sect that dared to disobey.

However, he was shut out of his ashram, and according to the attendants, the head of the sect was required to retreat for ten years, during which time all matters were decided by the elders.

Feng Yin had no choice but to go away, and had to find the deputy master Fan Du again.

Fan Du usually dealt with a lot of fights between sects, but now he finally paid attention to it and organized a meeting of major elders to discuss the handling plan.

The elders unanimously agreed that the Purple Thunder Sect needed to be severely punished in order to maintain the dignity of the sect and also to deter the ill-intentioned Xiaoxiao.

However, there is a dispute over the specific punishment measures.

The Foreign Affairs Hall proposed to negotiate with the Tibetan Sword Valley, asking it to exchange hostages, completely break off the vassal relationship with the Purple Thunder Gate, and hand it over to the Qingyuan Gate for handling.

Wutang demanded an all-out war with the Hidden Sword Valley to eliminate the forces of the Purple Thunder Gate and the Hidden Sword Valley in one fell swoop.

The Alchemy Hall pointed out that the inventory of the main sect had been exhausted in recent years, and it could not support a long period of war.

Shang Shitang believes that the Hidden Sword Valley did not directly attack the main gate, and the work is also in line with the laws of the Immortal Alliance, so it is not appropriate to tear the skin, after all, the Lingbao sales channel to the west of the main gate also depends on the other party. The Canghai Gate in the east and the main sect have not been in harmony for a long time, and the disciples of the sect are currently in a skirmish, and it is really not appropriate to open up a new battlefield at this time.

The other churches either support the Foreign Affairs Hall or support the Martial Arts Hall. After many days of discussion, no consensus could be reached.

In the end, the exhausted elders drew up an initial decision, in which the order demanded that the sect and all vassals impose comprehensive sanctions on the Purple Thunder Gate from now on, prohibiting the movement of people and the circulation of spiritual treasures, sending people to the Hidden Sword Valley to negotiate, asking the other party to also prohibit contact with the Purple Thunder Gate, and at the same time raising the matter in the Immortal Alliance, asking the Immortal Alliance to punish them.

Qingyuan Gate is like a leaky wall up and down, and it didn't take half a day for Hidden Sword Valley to learn the specific details and inform the Purple Thunder Gate.

And when the envoy of Qingyuan Gate arrived in the Hidden Sword Valley, he was only warmly received by the valley master, and he just played haha and blindly delayed the matter of dealing with the Purple Thunder Gate.

At the Immortal Alliance Conference, the Hidden Sword Valley also put forward its own reasons, believing that the Purple Thunder Gate's punishment of the Flame Gate was a righteous move, and the Immortal Alliance should support it morally. The other factions were happy to see the two factions fighting, and they tacitly divided into two factions, each supporting one side, so that the conference argued endlessly, and the proposal ended in vain.

After the end of the Immortal Alliance Conference, Qingyuanmen, under the impetus of some elders, announced the implementation of a ban on merchants against the forces of the Tibetan Sword Valley, saying that it was a punishment for the other party to attack its own vassals for no reason.

Although Lu Xuan was very calm on weekdays, he was finally relieved at this time, knowing that according to Qingyuanmen's procrastination style, there would be no serious consequences in the short term.

He didn't care about the sanctions of Qingyuanmen at all, his own sect was already poor enough, and there was nothing to lose if he didn't deal with the sect in the county. However, his own sect was on the passage to the west of Shanyang County, and he wanted to see what the other small sects would do after the ban on business.

Since the crossing, Lu Xuan has been busy with the survival of this sect, and now he can finally make time to do a comprehensive examination and combing of himself and his own sect.

According to the evaluation system of this world, spiritual roots can be divided into one to nine grades. Spiritual roots have attributes, including regular five-element spiritual roots or thunder, darkness and other alien spirit roots. There can be a variety of spiritual root attributes possessed each month, which is related to the attribute affinity of the exercises, but the cultivation speed of the multi-spirit root is definitely much slower than that of the single spirit root.

Those who have spiritual roots, if they want to be able to cultivate normally, they can only have three spiritual roots at most, otherwise the cultivation speed is too slow, and they may only have one level of qi refining when they die. Such a disciple is simply a waste of sect resources, so the larger sects are unwilling to take them in. is also a non-mainstream sect like the Purple Thunder Sect, and it is willing to accept it in order to increase the number of people, but such disciples are also at the bottom, and there is basically no treatment at all.

Lu Xuan himself belongs to the Thunder and Fire Twin Spirit Roots, and although he is only a fifth grade, he is already very good in a small sect. This is also the reason why he was directly included as a big disciple by the previous head, and it is also with this passable spiritual root that his cultivation level can be ahead of his peers.

The spiritual roots of the other disciples of this sect are not as good as Lu Xuan, and the best ones are Pang Rou's Shuimu Six-Rank Dual Spirit Root, and Yan Ke's Thunder Water Six-Rank Dual Spirit Root.

The remaining ones are Du Yu's water, fire, and earth six-grade spiritual roots, as well as Yuan Wei's gold-wood seven-grade spiritual roots, and Hua Zhengxin's earth-wood seven-grade spiritual roots.

The other disciples are not worth mentioning, they are either eight or nine grade double spirit roots, or three spirit roots.

The six people in front of this gate are expected to build the foundation. The cultivation speed of the others was too slow, and even if they spent all their resources for them to cultivate to the ninth layer, they would already become old men, and they would have no energy to build a foundation.

In the world of cultivating immortals, when the first layer of qi refining is used to upgrade the second layer, the spiritual energy required for refining in the body is used as the basic spiritual energy unit, which is called a heavy one.

And the higher the level, the aura that needs to be refined will increase significantly.

For example, if you go from the second layer to the third layer, you need to absorb the twofold aura, and by the time the ninth layer cultivates to the Great Perfection, you already need to absorb the ninefold aura.

The fundamental exercise of this sect is the Purple Thunder Technique, so it is the most suitable to have a thunder spirit root, followed by a water and fire spirit root, and other spirit roots do not have any attribute bonuses.

Like other exercises, the Purple Thunder Technique requires meditation, and the more time it spends naturally, the more it will improve its level.

However, in fact, people have a physiological cycle, and once they practice for more than six hours a day, it is very limited to continue to cultivate and improve. Therefore, the cultivator will practice non-stop for twelve hours a day.

According to Lu Xuan's own estimates, if he wanted to cultivate from the seventh order of qi refining to the eighth order, it would take about three years.

If it were someone else in this sect, it would take more cultivation time to improve.

If the spiritual root is poor, it even needs to be counted in ten years.

Of course, due to the recent use of the Gathering Spirit Pill every day instead of cultivation, his speed had greatly accelerated, and he felt that he was already very close to the eighth order of qi refining.

Therefore, in addition to meditation, there is a faster way to cultivate, and that is to take pills.

The elixir is generally based on the crystal nucleus of spirit grass or demon beasts, and is refined with some auxiliary materials.

Since the spirit grass in the world was already very scarce, and the demon beasts were difficult to find and hunt, the price of some of the better pills was very expensive.
