Not to mention anything else, this [Gathering Spirit Temple] is something that can really bring direct strength improvement to the monks of the family, especially when it is necessary to concentrate resources and cultivate top monks, it can play a very important role.

It must be built.

It's these 3,000 karma...... It's really expensive.

If it weren't for the opening of the conquest mode and the fact that the Northern Route Army had fought relatively smoothly in the Northern Wilderness Forest in the past half a year, Lu Qing might not have been able to pull out so much karma in one go.

Now, though, it doesn't seem like much of a problem.

Not to mention that he has more than 6,000 in his own hands, in the progressive prize pool of the conquest mode, there are also more than 9,000 karma lying down. When the war is over and this karma is settled, Lu Qing will definitely not lack the 3,000 karma points to build this Spirit Gathering Temple.

Moreover, this spiritual temple must not be built until after the war is over. On the one hand, at this time, it was still a time of war, and karma was useful, and half of it was spent to build the Spirit Gathering Temple. Now that it's been built, no one uses it.

After thinking about how to arrange this [Gathering Spirit Temple] clearly, Lu Qing's gaze looked at the third four-star rare exchange item.

【Four-Star Resource: Spiritual Vein Enhancement】

[Can be used on the third-order spirit vein to start the process of upgrading to the fourth-order spirit vein.] The upgrade process lasts ten years. During the duration, it is necessary to arrange the formation of the warm spiritual veins in a specific way. It takes 10,000 spirit stones per year to maintain the formation. To activate this exchange item, it takes 2000 karma, and during the upgrade process, you still need to invest 600 karma per year. 】

......

The four-star ascension spirit vein has finally been brushed out.

This exchange item, Lu Qing has long wanted to get it.

If the Lu family wants to continue to develop in the future, sooner or later they will have their own fourth-order spiritual vein. Either cultivate it yourself and restore the Jade Smoke Mountain to the fourth-order level, or find a fourth-order spiritual vein outside and move the family over.

When it came to moving, Lu Qing only thought about it a little and basically chose to give up.

On Yuyan Mountain, Lu Qing has invested a lot, and it is too difficult to move. What's more, a spectacle building like the Lingfeng Holy Tower, as well as a secret realm like 'beyond the stars', can't be moved away at all.

A more reliable choice is to still use the Jade Smoky Mountain as the Lu family's lair, and occupy the fourth-order spiritual veins outside, so that the monks who are expected to develop to the Jindan stage in the future can go there to sit there.

But relatively speaking, the best thing to do is to be able to upgrade the Jade Smoky Mountain to the fourth-order level.

The investment in cultivating and upgrading the spiritual veins normally is too great. The current Lu family can afford the investment in spirit stones, but the cultivation time of decades or hundreds of years is too long. If you wait slowly, even if it's not daylily, it's cold.

Of course, now the family needs a fourth-order aura cultivator, and there is only one Li Yanling, and it is not without a workaround. Li Yanling spent more than half of his time in the sect, and he didn't spend much time on the Jade Smoke Mountain, and there were also ancient sites and secret realms that had been upgraded and had a fourth-order aura level.

But it's always inconvenient, after all, the secret realm can only be opened and exited once in half a year.

Moreover, according to Lu Qing's previous cultivation ideas for Lu Chaoxi, Chaoxi is afraid that it will not be many years before he will be ready to break through the golden pill, and the matter of spiritual vein improvement must be prepared early.

This is also to be carried out immediately after the end of the war.

......

While Lu Qing was reviewing the various rewards and contents in his system, many monks of the Northern Route Army were also busy in Eagle Valley.

The upper echelons of the Northern Route Army had already conveyed the order down - in three days, they would set off as a whole group and leave here.

This news made the middle and lower-level monks of the Northern Route Army feel very inexplicable and incomprehensible.

It's too urgent.

The war against Eagle Valley has just ended, and now should be the time to reap the benefits. Everyone is now busy cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the entire Eagle Valley. There are a lot of interests buried in this, such as the materials on the bodies of the demon clans who were killed, for example, these demon clans usually live in the Eagle Valley, and their residences are likely to hide their wealth, such as the medicine garden and treasure house in the Eagle Valley.

These things need to be excavated by the monks.

Just three days...... There are a lot of things that are hidden in the depths, and you can't get them out at all. Even, in the Eagle Valley, the monks of the Northern Route Army paid a lot of price, and the more than 2,000 demon beasts that were killed, and all kinds of materials on their bodies had to be stripped off, which was not something that could be done in these three days.

Previously, Lu Tingchou and others, who were in charge of logistics within the Monk Legion, probably came up with a version of the estimate, and it was estimated that after the battle of the Northern Wilderness Forest was over, the loot obtained by the entire legion might reach five or six hundred thousand spirit stones.

Don't look at this number as an exaggeration, just the three third-order demon eagles can make half of it.

The demon pill of the third-order demon beast can be used as a Zhuji Dan, and the demon pill in the middle and late stages of the third order has a much higher success rate.

The effect of the demon pill in the early stage of the third order is similar to that of the golden lotus, with an average of five in one furnace, the average demon pill in the middle stage can become six, and the demon pill in the later stage can become eight.

These are all average values, if the alchemist's skills are good and lucky, it is impossible to say that a late-stage demon pill will burst out with ten Zhuji Dan.

These two demon pills together are worth almost 150,000 spirit stones. And the demon pill at the peak of the third order can be used to refine the outer pill, and it has the effect of assisting the Qiming monk to break through the golden pill, although it is much worse than the real golden pill, but this effect alone is enough to be worth 100,000 spirit stones.

Coupled with the feathers and beaks on the three demons, these can be used to make magic weapons, and they can be made into very good magic weapons.

Plus they have some equipment of their own......

On the bodies of these three third-order demon beasts alone, they could make a profit equivalent to almost 300,000 spirit stones.

And the other 300,000, half of them came from the stripping of materials from those first-order and second-order demon beasts and their personal property, and the other half was all the various demon materials, medicinal materials, heavenly and earthly treasures and other things in the Eagle Valley.

The wealth on the third-order demon is easy to converge, and it is really impossible to take away the entire corpse and slowly decompose it, there is no problem.

But the wealth stored in the Eagle Valley always needs to be found slowly. Especially unlike the previous Shenlu Forest, almost every inch of land in Eagle Valley has experienced the baptism of war, and many places have been blown up, so a lot of wealth is under the ruins, and it takes time to find it. Including the corpses of more than 2,000 demon beasts, it also took time to peel them off.

Three days is really not enough.

But in this matter, the attitude at the command level is very resolute.

It doesn't matter how much wealth you will lose at that time, anyway, it will only be three days, and you can get as much as you can get, and you will take it and leave.

The people below don't quite understand, and there are some complaints about the execution, but the prestige of the entire Northern Route Army command is here, and the high-ranking monks have unanimously asked for this, so naturally there is nothing to say, and the complaints can only be buried in their hearts.

After calculation, the income of the 300,000 spirit stones that could have been obtained is estimated to become 200,000, and there will be a loss of about 100,000 spirit stones.

But even if there is such a big loss, it can only be like this.

Otherwise, there is a life to take the life of the flower.

Regarding the imminent arrival of the demon king, Lu Qing had already informed Lu Chaoxi and Li Yanling.

Li Yanling is the most anxious.

After all, she still has the status of a sect monk, and her teacher is also in danger.

However, under Lu Qing's persuasion, she was still able to maintain a relatively stable mood and obey the arrangement.

......

On the third day after the Eagle Valley was completely cleaned up, the Northern Route Army boarded a large flying boat and headed south at full speed as planned.

On the way, Li Yanling conveyed the news of the arrival of the demon king to Hai Sande and the empty fellow Daoists at the same time, and gave his own suggestion: I hope that the three-way army can converge together, and then gather to temporarily withdraw from the North Wilderness.

Originally, on behalf of the Yan State, the attack they launched on the east side was mainly to contain them.

This goal has been well achieved.

To the east of the Northern Wilderness Demon Beast, it was so defeated by the Feiyun Prefecture Three-Way Army that it was impossible to find the north, and many key demon clan settlements were devastated. In this case, the Eastern Demon Clan was simply unable to provide support to the main battlefield in the west.

Although the monks of Feiyun Prefecture have not yet fought in a particularly deep place, they have already done this to give face to the allies of the Jin State.

On the contrary, now the monk corps in Feiyun Prefecture is in big trouble.

Yin Liang and Lang Xuan, the two big demon kings, are not so easy to deal with.

What they have to do now is to keep their own living force under the attack of the two demon kings, and then everything will be fine.

Therefore, according to the meaning of Li Yanling, Lu Chaoxi, and Lu Qing discussed together, there is no need for the monk army in Feiyun Prefecture to continue to fight deeper, and there is no need to confront the two big demon kings in the away game. At this time, withdrawing from the Northern Wilderness Forest, no matter whether these two demon kings chased after them or not, the Feiyun Prefecture monks, as a guest army, carried out a containment offensive on the east side, and they had already perfectly achieved their strategic goals.

From the main battlefield, the Northern Desolate Forest Demon Clan attracted two fourth-order peak demon kings to come over, what else do you want to do? No one can accuse them of not fighting well.

Halfway through, they received a reply from Hai Sande, who agreed to this, and discussed the corresponding rendezvous point with the Northern Route Army.

Later, they received a reply from Kongtong.

In Kongtong's letter, he showed more hesitation.

is not as good as Hai Sande, Hai Lao Zu still trusts the apprentice he raised single-handedly.

But emptiness is not the same.

There are two Great Demon Kings in the late third-order stage, and they want to come to him for trouble?

Kongtong didn't know whether he should believe it or not.

It stands to reason that the Northern Route Army is its own people and friendly troops, and it must be believed when such important information is transmitted. However, the previous situation in Feiyun Prefecture is not unaware, and the relationship between the two sides can be very complicated, not as simple as an ally.

Li Yanling and Hai Sande opened their mouths to ask the Three Route Army to gather in one place and withdraw from the Northern Wilderness......

This made Kongtong have to think more.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengzong and Yunxiao Sect's Jindan Elder Wang Qian are now supervising the army here in his Western Route Army.

In the early days, the two army corps in the north, Hai Sande and Li Yanling, there were frequent good news. And here in the Western Route Army, it is obviously the main force of the Feiyun Prefecture Monk Legion, whether it is the number or quality, the two Route Armies in the north combined are not as strong as their side. Even, earlier, when the army entered the Northern Wilderness Forest, the crown prince Li Chengzong made it clear that he and his subordinates, as well as Wang Qian, were all at the mercy of the lord and obeyed the dispatch of the empty fellow Daoists.

In this case, the Western Route Army did not fight too smoothly.

This has already made the crown prince a little dissatisfied.

Although, as the head of the Qingfeng Gate, Kong Tong didn't need to care too much about the Dayan Dynasty, but this matter was always a bit embarrassing.

If the war is terminated like this, then under the backdrop of Hai Sande and Li Yanling's two road legions, his side will look very bleak. Moreover, the monks who came with them did not make much profit in the war. On the contrary, I heard that on the side of the Northern Route Army, everyone made a lot of money...... Such a comparison is also a blow to his prestige.

If you go back like this, if you don't turn back in Feiyun Prefecture, the momentum of the Lu family and the Hai family will become even greater.

This is a result that Kutong does not want to see.

Right now, a demon clan settlement they are besieging is about to be defeated, let them give up and withdraw from the siege, then the early investment will be in vain, and the income they are about to win will be all gone. This is bound to make many monks of the Western Route Army feel dissatisfied.

It was precisely because of this situation that Kong Tong muttered a little in his heart: Are the Lu family and the Hai family bluffing him?

took advantage of this time to lie to him and lie about the military situation.

Anyway, in Li Yanling's letter, it was said that the news had been intercepted, and two demon kings came over, but there was no way to confirm that the entire news was true, and even the words in the letter had uncertain words such as 'maybe', 'maybe', and 'probably'.

Looking back, even if you want to punish you with such a thing as lying about the military situation, it is not easy to open your mouth.

Under this tangled mentality, Kongtong found the crown prince Li Chengzong and the Jindan elder Wang Qian of Yunxiao Sect to discuss the matter together, expressing his attitude of not wanting to withdraw the army.

And also said that even if there were really two demon kings attacking, he and Wang Gan would join forces, and it was not without the power to fight.

Wang Qian was more cowardly.

He was in the middle stage of Jindan, but he didn't have the confidence to be able to deal with a demon king at the peak of the third order. And in his opinion, although Kongtong is the ninth layer of Jindan, it has only just broken through, and it has not reached the peak at all, and it is also not the opponent of the third-order peak demon king.

The two of them worked together, but they couldn't beat Yin Liang and Lang Xuan.

But Kong Tong was very persistent, and persuaded Li Chengzong with another thing:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the North Wilderness Forest this time, and in the past half a year, not to mention that he has not made an inch, but at present, this meritorious service is obviously not enough. The attack of the demon king, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, even if it is true, with the old decay and Wang Qiandao's friends, sticking to it can also ensure temporary peace. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can issue an order with me, asking Hai Sande and Li Yanling to come here to meet together. With the power of the four golden pills, there are really two peak demon kings here, and they are not without the power of a battle. ”
