"This is just a superficial problem," Yuan Qisheng said, "Do you know how many resources it takes to cultivate a foundation building immortal cultivator?"

Zhao Yan didn't know, but judging from his own experience, he had absorbed the spiritual energy essence of hundreds of immortal cultivators.

Yuan Qisheng said again: "It's okay for an immortal cultivator from a rich and noble family to always get a contribution, plus the incense money from the mountain and the immortal cultivator himself hunting demons and going out to do tasks are barely equal." ”

The implication of the words has already been understood, and it is generally clear why the various sects in the world are now absorbing fewer and fewer ordinary disciples, and only the strongest sect in the region, such as Yanzong, has the confidence to accommodate it.

Because it's too worthwhile, don't say what you eat and what you do, if the outer disciples are better, they can always do a little chores to compensate, but what if the children of ordinary families become inner disciples?

You don't dare to let people die, if you die, the sect's early investment in him will be completely wasted, and those who have a family may have to help support and lose money.

"Do you think this is the end?", Yuan Qisheng looked at Zhao Yan who was thinking about it, and said: "Naive, in addition to these expenses, Yanzong also has two bigger expenses, one is to pay to Great Xia, and the other is to spend money on a certain backer sect in the north. ”

"But I've seen miscellaneous records, and there weren't many similar behaviors in the earlier sects, and they were basically occupying a piece of fertile land," Yang Xi wondered.

"There are external factors involved in this, and it is also the reason why the sect has developed rapidly in three hundred years", Yuan Qisheng said: "I heard that Zhao Yan loves to read, do you know the reason?"

Zhao Yan looked at the gazes of everyone and said: "Three hundred years ago, the survival state of the sect was different from now, the sect at that time was hidden, according to the records, like the Yanzong, there were only a dozen disciples under the sect. ”

The sect of more than a dozen people, most of them are pure and have few desires to cultivate immortals, and it is almost enough to have two acres of land, occasionally catch a demon, and help the Great Xia Town Guard to catch a few wanted criminals, so as to ensure that they live a good life.

Hundreds of houses are not even able to live in, and the palaces that were glorious before the founding of Great Xia are all grassy and tattered, and they must be unhappy at first, but you don't have the slightest way, this is the rule that was set by ferocity after the establishment of Great Xia.

Most of the disciples of the sect were conscripted and put into the north, south, east and west as soldiers, cutting off the corresponding contact, and within a few years, people married wives and had children and had the authority of the family, who still remembers what you Yanzong is.

When the sect loses power, it is another edict to restrict the sect from accepting disciples, and the entire immortal cultivation world will collapse, so that in the past few generations, people will be honest.

Therefore, since the founding of the Great Xia country, more than 300 years ago, except for the immortal cultivators hidden in the three mountains, all the sects in the entire Great Xia have become small portals.

"However, this situation changed more than 300 years ago", Zhao Yan recalled: "At that time, the crown prince of Xia was not on the throne, the prince sat on the throne through a coup d'état, and the supporters of the old nobles failed, so they were not convinced to oppose the prince, and even reached the atmosphere of war." ”

In this case, Chu had no choice but to open up the aristocratic class and let the families below the old nobles rebel in order to consolidate their power, so that the originally solidified Great Xia appeared vigorous.

But this kind of vitality is not benign, because of the prince, the new and old nobles maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the bright side, and secretly swords and swords, so the power of the sect appears in the field of vision of the new and old nobles.

Let the sect do dirty things, and if something goes wrong, the sect itself will bear it, and the sect will once again enjoy the pleasure of money, respect, etc., and with money, it is natural to decorate the façade, so that the owners know their strength on the surface.

For three hundred years, the sect acted as a thug and subordinate to the new and old nobles, and it was low-key and rapid development until in recent decades, when the rebellion of the northern country led to the transfer of the domestic town guard government in Great Xia, and the sect immediately turned over and became a new and old nobleman, and there was an aristocratic group in Great Xia.

Of course, they are still different from the old and new nobles, and they are under the strict control of the Great Xia Town Guard.

"The whole thing, that's probably it", Zhao Yan finished speaking.

After listening to it, the group did not feel bored, as if they had witnessed the changes of the times in Zhao Yan's words.

"The sect has become bigger like a snowball", Yang Xi muttered: "All kinds of expenses have come up, not to mention that there are bloodsuckers like He Kuang in a sect, all kinds of eating and taking cards, and there are few who really know how to do business, where can you get so much money by normal means, the best way is naturally to take advantage of it." ”

"The situation is like this, people's minds are changing, and there is no way to do anything", Yuan Qisheng saw too much, and said lightly: "It's the same with the Covering Sea Sect, there are endless battles between the peaks. ”

As he spoke, he closed the book and waved it in front of the crowd: "So these records are honest, and they don't have the ability to accuse at all, because that's how everyone came here." ”

Zhao Yan didn't understand what Yuan Qisheng meant, and the other party asked Yang Xi to get these evidences, and said that he had no ability to accuse at all, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Because the righteousness is to damage the subtleties, it's just a little emotion," Yuan Qisheng said quietly.

Then Zhengse said: "It's okay if you can't get evidence about the relationship between Yanzong and Wang Qi's forces, fame and fortune are all in this book, it is precisely because this is everyone's acquiescence that everyone flocks to it, and there is no need to say anything at all." ”

Zhao Yan understood what Yuan Qisheng meant, and the other party determined that Yanzong and Wang Qi's forces were colluding, and they wanted to get rid of Yanzong, but because there was no relevant evidence, they were ready to directly acquiesce in the darkness as a name for their mentorship.

It is equivalent to throwing a piece of bait to them, Yuan Qisheng doesn't care how Cangzhou distributes it afterwards, as long as he kills Yanzong who is in collusion with Wang Qi's forces, of course, he may also think of suppressing the extremely bad immortal cultivator forces in Cangzhou.

In this way, no matter whether Gao Ming and Lu Daosheng will directly choose to cooperate with Wang Qi's forces after discovering the abnormality, they must face the wolves around them who want to redistribute Cangzhou's profits, and make things a dead end, Yanzong must die if he dies, and he must die if he does not die.

"When are the seniors going to go down the mountain?", Zhao Yan asked.

Yuan Qisheng said: "Wait a minute, you can't go immediately after Yang Xi Xiaoyou came over, let Yan Zongsheng suspect that it is not good, it will harm Yang Xi Xiaoyou." ”

Zhao Yan glanced at Yang Xi and found that the other party didn't care about what happened to him or Yanzong in his expression, and was absent-mindedly leaning on Yang Xi's shoulder.

Looking at Yang Xi's appearance, I felt a little uncomfortable, but who would have thought that things would develop to the way they are now?

Will Yang Xi regret it in his heart?
