Section 182 Astral Wars
Although he knew that more than twenty astral forces led by the Falling Star Sect were preparing for these top forces of the Spirit Star Sect...... The Spirit Star Sect is the most likely target to be listed...... Launch a challenge, that is, war chaos in the astral world will be inevitable.
However, Xin Yu didn't quite understand the practices of these forces of the Falling Star Sect. Yes, Xin Yu is indeed waiting for the outbreak of war, waiting to restore the economic level of the sea country to the pre-disaster level as soon as possible through the sale of war materials.
But this is not a reason for him to hope for the outbreak of war, or to understand the outbreak of war. It's incredible to think about it, the fundamental contradiction between the astral forces in this world doesn't seem to exist, especially when Xin Yu replaced the original hard currency star stone in the astral world with pills such as the Condensing Pill to assist in cultivation.
As for the status in the Astral Alliance...... Although it seems that there is indeed some disparity in status and influence between ordinary astrological forces and permanent councillors, does this nominal inequality need to be resolved by such drastic means as war as a matter of war?
Like Xin Yu's previous life, on the earth, although there is competition between various countries, and even when the situation is tense, there is a possibility of a nuclear war, but those are rooted in the word interests. For example, the struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States of America during the Cold War was fundamentally not a so-called struggle of consciousness to fool the people, but a struggle for world hegemony...... It is the benefits that can be brought by hegemony that make these two world superpowers crazy.
And the root cause of the two world wars, which seem even crazier, is also interests. For the first time, Germany wanted to challenge Britain's world hegemony and gain enough dumping markets and resource colonies. And the Second World War simply meant that someone borrowed too much "foreign debt" and repaid the debts by playing a rogue-like war.
Therefore, it is only when there is a conflict of interests that the root cause of war is triggered. After all, wars generally take place between groups and groups, and as a force, there is generally no possibility of "impulse" under normal circumstances...... Although it is quite common for the mood of the people to be stirred up, it is impossible for all of them to be "neurotic" in any one collective, right?
If there is no threat to the interests of the whole or the interests involved are very great, any collective is very cautious about war. As for the choice of ordinary forces like the Falling Star Sect, Xin Yu was a little puzzled.
The most direct question is that if these sect forces can step on the corpses of top forces such as the Spirit Star Sect and climb to the top of the pyramid, what are the benefits for them besides being more influential?
After all, there is more than one top force, and if all the ordinary forces are united, it is possible to challenge the six top forces, including Xin Yu...... Well, excluding the power of Xin Yu and the Astral Wizard Army of the Ocean Country, because although the power of Xin Yu's side is also considered powerful, it is only more "difficult" compared to the top forces of the Tianshan Lang Evil Family, which have a history of thousands of years. The strength of the other five top forces, if combined, is not at all something that those challengers can look up to.
Therefore, the Falling Star Sect can only unite to deal with one, that is to say, they can only achieve the purpose of "replaceing" a top-level force. So, even if a small alliance formed by the Falling Star Sect and other sects can become a top-level force, what benefits can they gain?
Like Xin Yu in his previous life, because the Soviet Union and the United States are the two poles of the world, as long as they defeat the other side, they can become the world hegemon, and then although they are not able to do whatever they want, they can make rules that suit their interests at will.
However, there are several top forces in this world, which is often referred to as a "multipolar" world. Even if many of the top forces were able to exert absolute influence in the Astral Alliance, this small alliance would only gain one-sixth of the hegemony. Judging from the current situation, although such benefits are not small, they are definitely not worth obtaining by means of war.
After all, war is to the death, even if the small alliance can fight out a top force and replace this strength in the upper position, in the counterattack of the top force, it is inevitable to lose a lot of strength. In other words, even if you can rank among the top forces, you are only at the bottom of the top forces. In that case, what else can you say in the Astral Alliance?
For an astrologist, the first thing to ask for is cultivation, but what is more important than cultivation is one's own life. If there is no guarantee of the safety of life, how can we talk about cultivation? So, resources that are good for cultivation...... Xin Yu didn't think that after these guys succeeded, they would dare to threaten him to provide pills for free, so, in fact, becoming a top force or becoming a permanent director of the Astral Alliance was not the first important thing for these forces at all.
The reality is far worse than this ideal scenario. It's not that the top forces like the Tianshan Lang Evil Clan or the Xue Mo Cui Family, Zhou Tianzong and Xinghuamen will have thoughts similar to the death of rabbits and fox sorrows because of the destruction of the Spirit Star Sect. However, just like Xin Yu himself, he will also be wary of such a combination of forces with "attack power".
Therefore, whether the strength reaches the top power is not the first place, in the current stable order of the astral world, only by becoming a permanent director of the astral alliance will he exert his influence on the affairs of the entire astral world.
But not to mention that it is impossible for the Tianshan Lang Evil Clan to admit that this small alliance has "ascended" through violent means, even Xin Yu will not agree to this organization full of aggression and aggression and become a member of the small collective that dominates the astral realm.
In other words, even if the small alliance led by the Falling Star Sect could defeat the Spirit Star Sect, it would not be possible to be recognized by the entire Astrology Alliance and become a member of the permanent council...... In fact, this is also due to the fact that after Xin Yu became a permanent member, it had an impact on the decision-making balance of the entire Astral Alliance.
It's not that Xin Yu, by virtue of his status as a permanent director, often makes waves in the Astral Alliance. It was because of the plenipotentiary of Lang Xiche, who occupied a position at the highest decision-making level of the Astrology Alliance, coupled with the Cui Yunfeng Alliance leader of the Xue Mo Cui family, which made the family-based astrology forces show an overwhelming advantage...... At least in terms of "voting qualifications", the family power can have one more crucial vote than the sect power, so after Xin Yu successfully sat as the permanent director of the Astrology Alliance, many forces that thought they were strong enough also tried to seek such a seat, but because of this "lesson from the past", the group of permanent directors was always full of rejection of such a request.
In this way, even if the Falling Star Sect Alliance could defeat the Spirit Star Sect to the mortal dust, it would not be possible to get a permanent seat on the Astrology Alliance. So, what do these guys think? Ultimately, what are their interests?
Xin Yu didn't think that Bai Shiqiao, the sect leader of the Falling Star Sect, was a fool and would not have thought of such an obvious difficulty, but why did they do this? If they succeeded, where would they get huge benefits? This was a question that Xin Yu had never been able to figure out.
However, no matter how Shiraishibashi wants to gain great benefits from this war, what has already begun, the so-called opening of the bow has no turning back, and since the preparation for the challenge has begun, it is impossible to give up halfway. In particular, if these alliances united by interests were forcibly stopped, it would never be possible to unite again.
No matter what the benefits of the White Rock Bridge will be...... Aside from the huge accumulation of carving up the Spirit Star Sect, he really couldn't think of any benefit from starting a war. Either way, the war will happen as scheduled anyway...... Maybe a year or two, maybe two or three years.
In other words, Xin Yu must accumulate enough war materials within the past two years to attract the Falling Star Sect Alliance to buy ...... And war materials are a very broad concept. Perhaps in the eyes of the astral magician, what the Ocean Country can provide is some pills such as Qi Nourishing Pills or Divine Concentration Pills, but in fact, even if it is a war that takes place in the astral world, the materials needed cannot be just that.
At least Xin Yu didn't think that the war in the astral world was like a battle between the rivers and lakes, except for healing and recovering pills, nothing else was needed.
From a realistic point of view, Xin Yu needs to find out what the sorcerers need, and in the event of a war with other sorcerers, what else can the Sea Nation provide...... That is, something that can bring benefits to the maritime nations.
The benefits that can be brought by the Qi Cultivation Pill are not big enough, although the amount needed by the Falling Star Sect Alliance is enough, but these "small profits" cannot satisfy Xin Yu's appetite. And the Refreshing Pill is only for entry-level astromagicians and even ordinary people, and it is impossible to get any orders at all. And the Concentration Pill ...... This is a sought-after material in the astral realm, even if the Falling Star Sect Alliance can pay that price, it is impossible for Xin Yu to allocate all the production of the Condensing Pill to them.
If he really did that, he would inevitably offend all the astral magicians in the all-star magic world who needed the Divine Concentration Pill, even for the Tianshan Lang Evil Clan, who had some relatives with him, it was impossible for Xin Yu to make such a big sacrifice for them, not to mention, he was not familiar with the Falling Star Sect and any of those more than twenty forces at all.
Speaking of which, Xin Yu is not very familiar with the astromagicians in this world...... When it comes to friendship and the like, it's not at all. Perhaps adhering to the idea of "interests first" in his previous life, Xin Yu only has interests in his eyes...... Maybe because he is integrated into the sea country, he can still pay some for the benefit of his own species, but what about other forces...... Well, let's wait until we have established a partnership, and then think about it.
So, apart from the Qi Nourishing Pill, an item that can be traded casually, what else is there that must be in the war of the astralists?
Food? It doesn't seem to work, although the astrologist doesn't say anything about Bigu, but among so many sect forces, they will definitely master a certain secular society, and in the supply of ordinary materials, the Ocean Country can't get involved...... At least for the supply of at most a dozen people, it will not make much money to be able to take over these orders in time.
Well, even an Astral Sorcerer who fights with Star Treasure will need a more powerful Star Treasure embryo. However, Ocean Country or Xin Yu has not yet figured out what is the Star Treasure embryo that meets the "appetite" of other star magicians.
It is obviously impossible to make some weapons casually, because to become a Star Treasure embryo, on the one hand, it must be a thousand choices in terms of materials, and the Ocean Country does not have so many rare materials. In addition, the Star Treasure Embryo can only be visualized as a Star Treasure and become the existence of the Star Treasure Embryo only if it conforms to the "potential" of other Star Magicians.
In this regard, Xin Yu still didn't know how the Star Refining Sect did it...... It's probably a technology, too. At least Xin Yu didn't know how this technique was achieved, although he had created for himself what could be said to be the most peculiar star treasure embryo in this astral world...... Ten Peerless Sword Formation, but that was because he could self-regulate the frequency of his spiritual power and let himself adapt to the Xingbao embryo, rather than making the Xingbao embryo more suitable for him.
Although Xin Yu could also guess that those astromagicians who already had a certain amount of experience could not still find the original frequency of the star treasure embryo when looking for the second or even the third star treasure for themselves, but what range should the frequency of the star treasure embryo be controlled in order to be favored by other star magicians?
From this aspect, Xin Yu is simply "refining blind". Don't think that if he knows the principle of refining Xingbao embryos, he will be able to refine qualified products, and even mythically use the method of industrial mass production to create a large number of Xingbao embryos.
Even without material limitations, it is not so easy to set a special frequency on an object...... In other words, how to calculate the natural frequency of an object, even Xin Yu, who thinks that he has learned five cars, does not have those high-tech instruments in his previous life, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Also, how to determine the frequency of the astral wizard itself who needs the star treasure?
For those professionals of the Star Refining Sect, this question may be able to be judged by the experience they have accumulated over the years, but for Xin Yu, who has neither mastered such a star technique nor has a brainwave measurement instrument, it is also a difficult problem.
And in the astral war, all that can be used is weapons and pills, how can Xin Yu achieve the purpose of accumulating "wealth" through war?
To research more kinds of elixirs, or to develop a method for mass production of Xingbao embryos, this was the question he had to choose
