Chapter 714: Closing the Mountain Gate
Qingfeng said: "If there are enough spirit stones, it is estimated that in a few decades at most, the senior brother will be able to break through to the realm of consummation in the late stage of the merger, and then my Baicaotang will be able to have one more period of tribulation, not to mention self-protection in the future, even if it is to destroy his Northern Xia City, it will not be difficult." โ
Qingyun's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Today's Baicao Hall is not as good as in the past, the sect's income and expenditure are stretched, and sometimes even the offerings of the elders and disciples are released, although this celebration has received a lot of gifts, but it can't spare many spirit stones specifically for cultivation. โ
Although he had known that Baicaotang's life was not easy, Qingfeng didn't expect it to be embarrassed like this, so he said: "I still have two or three million spirit stones here, and I will give them to Senior Brother first, which should be enough to support Senior Brother's cultivation to the consummation of the late stage of the merger." In addition, Elder Qinghe must have embezzled a lot over the years, and he just collected it to subsidize the sect, and the gifts received during the celebration were also kept in the sect. โ
Two or three million spirit stones? So many? Qingyun and Qingshan were taken aback, and the entire Baicaotang's family background was probably not comparable to Qingfeng's net worth. Qingyun has managed the Hundred Grass Hall for thousands of years, and after the master ascended, his condition deteriorated, and he never saw so many spirit stones again, and he didn't know how Qingfeng earned it?
Qingyun lowered his posture, as if a disciple was asking the master, and said, "Senior brother, what should the disciples of the Qinghe lineage do?"
Qingfeng said without thinking: "Qinghe, Xuanyin, Xuanshi and others are not grateful, colluding with outsiders to seek Baicaotang, and they are innocent of death, there is nothing to say." As for the other disciples, they were all interrogated, and according to the degree of intimacy between them and Qinghe and the others, and the degree of participation in the matter, after the interrogation, they were respectively given punishments such as abolishing cultivation, expulsion from the sect, fines and confiscations, and short-term labor. โ
For monks, abolishing cultivation is an ordinary person, and dying of old age after a few decades of survival is almost no different from killing them directly. It is impossible that only Qinghe and the other three people participated in this matter, and several backbones of Qinghe's lineage are estimated to have to bear this treatment.
The punishment for expulsion from the sect is slightly lighter, but this kind of person can only do casual cultivation in the future, because no sect dares to take in a traitor who has been expelled from the sect. If you are deeply involved or close to Qinghe, but you haven't done too many wrong things, this kind of punishment can be regarded as relatively heavy.
As for those who belong to the Qinghe lineage, but are not deeply involved or not very close to them, they are implicated, and they can only blame themselves for their bad luck. Fortunately, the punishment of confiscating part of the income and short-term labor is very light, and after the punishment, they are not to blame in the past, and such a punishment can make them more satisfied.
There are about two or three hundred disciples in the Qinghe first line, of which there are seven or eight backbones, and there are dozens of those who are deeply involved, these must be relatively high in the Qinghe first lineage, and the cultivation is at least above the Jindan period, and the remaining more than one hundred, most of the cultivation is below the Qi Transformation Period, and only a few Jindan are in the Jindan stage, and Qinghe, Xuanyin and others are not deeply involved, and the feelings are relatively weak.
This eradication of the Qinghe vein is still relatively damaging to the Baicao Hall, especially the middle level of the sect, which has been reduced by a quarter, and this kind of thing is generally very hurtful to the vitality of the sect. Fortunately, with the addition of the two super masters of Qingshan and Qingfeng, Baicaotang has the backbone, and the morale of the upper and lower levels has been greatly boosted, and it seems more cohesive than before.
The next day, Qingfeng personally presided over the celebration of Baicao's real ascension to the immortal realm, and then sent the guests away from Baicaotang one after another, so that Baicaotang was completely clean.
In fact, it is not completely pure, because Dou Youzhi did not go with others, he finally climbed up to the big man Qingfeng, how could he leave easily? However, Qingfeng didn't have time to entertain him, just gave him a distraction pill, and then let him stay in Baicaotang, and when he felt that he had had enough, he would naturally leave.
After the celebration, Qingfeng took a Tribulation Pill and began to retreat, and the place of retreat was inside the Baicao Hall, and found a secluded place; Qingyun had already completed the handover of the sect the day before, and went to the wall of the place where Qingshan had been punished, and he didn't bring anything with him, and he walked cleanly; after Qingshan led the other disciples of Baicaotang to close the mountain gate, he also announced that he would go into retreat, and with the spirit stone provided by Qingfeng, he would definitely be able to break through to the consummation of the late stage of the merger within a few decades, and then if he could successfully enter the Tribulation Period, then Baicaotang would have two Tribulation Monks, and who would dare to provoke him in the future๏ผ
As early as when he was on the spirit weapon merchant ship, Qingfeng's cultivation had already broken through to the realm of consummation in the late stage of the merger, and it had been useful for a long time to consolidate his cultivation, his cultivation was already consolidated and could not be consolidated anymore, and it was okay to directly try to break through the tribulation period. It's just that there was no Tribulation Pill at that time, and Qingfeng could only wait for the time being.
Qingfeng's cultivation has progressed rapidly during this time, but the Danshu has not improved, so that the Danshu he was originally proud of is becoming more and more unable to keep up, after this breakthrough, he must make time to refine the Danshu, otherwise he will live up to the name of Baicaotang, and also insult the master's prestige as the first person in the cultivation realm of Danshu.
And the most important point is that the current economic situation of the Baicao Hall is extremely embarrassing, and it is almost impossible to even send the offerings of the elders and disciples, and this situation must be solved as soon as possible. Only by practicing the Danshu can we open up sources and reduce expenditure, and can we slowly grow the Baicaotang.
Not only himself, but also the other people in the Baicaotang also have to improve the Danshu, the previous Baicaotang, because of the emergency situation is more embarrassing, usually purchased very few elixirs, only for the disciples with higher Danshu in the sect to use, the refined elixirs are consumed as the welfare of the disciples of the sect, and few are taken out to sell, so that only consumption has no output, and it has slowly become a vicious circle, and there are more and more spirit stones to purchase elixir.
As the sect left by Baicao Zhenren, the first person in the cultivation realm of Danshu, he couldn't find a few disciples with outstanding Danshu, and the pills he refined were not enough for his own use, so he was really a little sorry for the name Baicaotang. After solving the matter in front of us, we must strengthen the alchemy and take the improvement of the Dan Technique as one of the main tasks of the disciples. Not to mention that all the disciples of Baicaotang can make alchemy, at least cultivate a group of disciples with outstanding Danshu, and then use the elixir as an industry of Baicaotang, forming a virtuous circle and making blood for Baicaotang.
However, it is a bit early to think about this now, there are still many things to do, and when my cultivation is to improve the Dao Tribulation Period, there are no worries, and the economic aspect of Baicaotang is also a little more abundant, so I can slowly figure it out.
