Chapter 255: Empty and unbelievable
I won’t say anything else. This [Spirit Gathering Temple] is something that can truly bring direct strength improvement to the family monks, especially when it is necessary to concentrate resources and cultivate top monks, it can play a very important role.
Construction must be built.
It is these three thousand karma...it is really expensive.
If the conquest mode had not been started, the Northern Route Army would have been relatively smooth in the Northern Wilderness Society during the war over the past six months. Lu Qing might not have been able to extract so much karma in one breath.
However, it seems that the problem is not big now.
Not to mention that he had more than 6,000 points of karma in his hand, but in the jackpot of the conquest mode, there were more than 9,000 points of karma lying down. When the war was over and the karma was settled, Lu Qing would definitely not lack the three thousand points of karma to build this temple of gathering spirits.
Moreover, this temple of gathering spirits must be established after the war is over. On the one hand, it is still in the war period, and karma is useful. It costs half of the cost to build the temple of gathering spirits. Now that it has been built, no one will use it.
After thinking clearly about how to arrange this [Spirit Gathering Temple], Lu Qing's eyes looked at the third four-star rare exchange item.
【Four-star resources: Enhance the spiritual vein】
[It can be used on the third-level spiritual vein to start the process of upgrading to the fourth-level spiritual vein. The upgrade process lasts for ten years. During the duration, a formation that warms the spiritual vein must be arranged in a specific way. It takes 10,000 spirit stones per year to maintain the formation. It takes 2,000 karma to be activated. During the upgrade process, 600 karma still needs to be invested every year.]
...
The four-star spiritual vein has finally been released.
Lu Qing had long wanted to get this redemption item.
The Lu family must continue to develop in the future and sooner or later have their own fourth-level spiritual veins. Either they cultivate themselves and restore Yuyan Mountain to the fourth-level level, or they can find a fourth-level spiritual vein outside and move the family over.
Lu Qing only thought about moving for a little while and basically chose to give up.
Lu Qing has invested a lot on Yuyan Mountain, and it is too difficult to move. What's more, wonder buildings like Lingfeng Holy Tower and secret realms like "outside the starry sky" cannot be moved away at all.
The more reliable choice is to still use Yuyan Mountain as the old nest of the Lu family and occupy the fourth-level spiritual veins outside, so that the monks who are expected to develop into the Golden Elixir stage will go there to take charge.
But relatively speaking, the best way is to upgrade Yuyan Mountain to the fourth level.
However, the investment in normal cultivation and upgrading spiritual veins is too great. The Lu family can afford the investment in spirit stones now, but the cultivation time is often more than decades or hundreds of years, which is too long. If you wait slowly, even the daylily will be cold.
Of course, now Li Yanling is the only one in the family who needs fourth-level spiritual energy cultivation, and there are also ways to adapt. Li Yanling has more than half of his time, but in fact he is still in the sect. He doesn’t spend much time on Yuyan Mountain, and there are also secret places with the level of fourth-level spiritual energy.
But it is always inconvenient. After all, the secret realm can only be opened once every six months.
Moreover, if you really want to follow Lu Qing’s previous idea of cultivating Lu Chaoxi, Chaoxi is afraid that it will not take many years to prepare for breaking through the golden elixir. You must prepare early for the improvement of spiritual veins.
This will also start immediately after the war is over.
...
While Lu Qing was examining the various rewards and contents of his system, many monks from the Northern Army were also busy in the Eagle Valley.
The upper class of the Northern Route Army had already conveyed the order downward for three days, and they set off the whole team and left here.
This news made the middle and lower monks of the Northern Route Army feel very inexplicable and incomprehensible.
Too urgent.
The war on Eagle Valley has just ended, and now it should be the time to reap the benefits. Everyone is busy cleaning the battlefield and cleaning up the entire Eagle Valley. There are a lot of interests buried in it, such as the materials on the monsters that were killed. For example, these monsters live in Eagle Valley on weekdays, and their residences are likely to contain their wealth; for example, places like medicine gardens, treasure houses, etc. in Eagle Valley.
These things need to be excavated by monks.
In just three days... many hidden things cannot be retrieved at all. Even in the Eagle Valley, the monks of the Northern Army paid a lot of money and killed more than 2,000 monsters, all the materials on them were stripped away, 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 army probably issued a version of the estimate, and it is expected that after the end of the Battle of the Northern Wilderness, the spoils obtained by the entire army may reach 500,000 and 600,000 spirit stones.
Although this number is exaggerated, you can get half of it with three third-level demon eagles.
The demon pills of third-level monsters can be used as foundation-building pills, and the elixir rate of the demon pills in the middle and late stages of third-level monster pills is much higher.
The effect of the early stage of the third level is similar to that of the golden lotus, and five are produced in an average of one furnace; the average of the middle stage can be six; the late stage can be eight.
These are all average values. If the alchemist has good skills and good luck, it is impossible to say that ten foundation-building pills will be revealed in one late-stage demon pill.
These two demon pills are worth about 150,000 spirit stones in total. The third-level peak demon pill can be used to refine external pills, which can assist the Qiming monk in breaking through the golden pills. Although it is much worse than the real golden pill, this effect alone is enough to be worth 100,000 spirit stones.
In addition to the feathers and bird beaks on the three demons, these can be used to make magic weapons, and they can be made into very good magic weapons.
In addition, they have some equipment themselves...
The three third-level monsters alone can produce a profit of about 300,000 spirit stones.
The other 300,000, half comes from the materials stripped from the first-level and second-level monsters and their personal property; the other half is all the various monster materials, medicinal materials, heaven and earth treasures in the Eagle Valley.
The wealth of the third-level monster is easily restrained. If it really doesn't work, it will be possible to take the whole body away and slowly decompose it. There is no problem.
However, the various wealth stored in the Eagle Valley always needs to be found slowly. Especially unlike the previous Shenlu Forest, almost every inch of the land in the 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 has to be spent time looking for it. The corpses of more than 2,000 monsters also need to be taken to peel them off.
Three days is really not enough.
But in this matter, the attitude at the command level is very firm.
No matter how much wealth you will lose at that time, you will only take three days, and you will get as much as you can and take it away.
The people below don’t understand it very well, and there are some complaints when they execute it, but the prestige of the entire Northern Army Command is here, and the high-level monks unanimously demand to do so. Naturally, there is nothing to say, and complaints can only be buried in their hearts.
After calculation, the income of the 300,000 spirit stones that could have been obtained will be estimated to be 200,000, and there will be a loss of about 100,000 spirit stones.
But even if there is such a huge loss, it can only be like this.
Otherwise, if you have the life, you will have the lifeless flower.
Lu Qing has informed Lu Chaoxi and Li Yanling about the coming of the Demon King.
Li Yanling is the most anxious.
After all, she still has the identity of a sect monk, and her teacher is in danger.
However, under Lu Qing's persuasion, she was able to maintain a relatively stable mood and obey the arrangements.
...
On the third day after the Eagle Valley was completely cleaned up, the Northern Route Army boarded a large flying boat and returned south at full speed.
On the way, Li Yanling conveyed the news that the Demon King was coming to Hai Sande and Kong Tongdao Ren, and gave his own suggestions: I hope that the three legions could gather together and then gather to temporarily withdraw from the Beihuang Forest.
Originally, the attack they launched on the east side on behalf of Yan State was mainly about restraint.
They have achieved this goal well.
To the east of the Northern Wilderness Monster monster, the three legions of Feiyunzhou were beaten to the point where they could not find the north. Many key demon clan settlements were subjected to devastating blows. In this case, the Eastern demon clan was unable to provide support to the main battlefield in the west.
Although the monks in Feiyunzhou have not yet reached a particularly deep level, doing this will already give face to allies of Jin State.
On the contrary, the monk army in Feiyunzhou is now in big trouble.
Yin Liang and Lang Zhou are not so easy to deal with.
What they have to do now is to protect their own vitality under the attack of the two demon kings, and everything will be fine.
Therefore, according to the discussions between Li Yanling, Lu Chaoxi and Lu Qing, the monks in Feiyunzhou do not need to continue to fight deeper, nor do they need to confront the two demon kings on the road. At this time, when they withdraw from Beihuangsen, regardless of whether these two demon kings are chasing or not, the monks in Feiyunzhou, as the visiting army, have already achieved their strategic goals perfectly.
From the main battlefield, the Northern Wilderness Demon Clan attracted two fourth-level peak demon kings to come over. What else do you want? No one can blame them for not fighting well.
Halfway through, they received a reply from Hai Sande. He agreed and discussed the corresponding meeting place with the Northern Road Army.
And then, they received a reply from Kongtong.
Kongtong's letter showed a relatively hesitant meaning.
No matter how different Hai Sande, Old Ancestor Hai still trusts his apprentice whom he raised.
But the difference between space is different.
There are two late-stage monster kings in the third level who are coming to cause trouble for him? And so they have to withdraw their troops?
Kongtong didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
Logically speaking, the Northern Army is a member of our own and a friendly army. It is definitely necessary to trust such important information. However, the previous situation in Feiyunzhou is not unaware of it. The relationship between the two sides is very complicated, not as simple as allies.
Li Yanling and Hai Sande opened their mouths to ask the three armies to gather in one place and withdraw from the Northern Wilderness Forest...
This made Kongtong have to think about it more.
His Highness Li Chengzong and the Jindan elder Wang Gan of Yunxiao Sect are now supervising the army here in his Western Route Army.
Earlier, the two legions in the north, Hai Sande and Li Yanling, had good news. The Western Legion Army was obviously the main force of the Feiyunzhou monk army. In terms of the number or quality, the two legions in the north were not as strong as theirs. Even earlier, when the legions entered the Northern Wilderness, the Crown Prince Li Chengzong clearly said that he, his subordinates, and Wang Gan, were all at the will of the master and obeyed the orders of the Kong Tongdao Ren.
Under such circumstances, the Western Route Army did not fight very smoothly.
This made the crown prince feel a little unsatisfied.
Although Kongtong, as the head of Qingfeng Sect, did not need to care too much about the Dayan Dynasty, it was always a bit embarrassing.
If the war is pressed like this, then under the support of the two legions of Hai Sande and Li Yanling, his side will appear very dull. Moreover, the monks who followed him did not make much profit in the war. On the contrary, they heard that everyone on the Northern Army made a big profit... This comparison will also be a blow to his reputation.
If you want to go back like this, maybe you will be able to turn back in Feiyunzhou, and the Lu family and Hai family will become more popular.
This is the result that Kongtong doesn't want to see.
At present, a demon clan settlement they were besieging was about to be defeated. They asked them to give up and withdraw the siege. The initial investment was in vain, and all the benefits they were about to win were gone. This would inevitably make many monks of the Western Route Army feel dissatisfied.
It was precisely because of the expectation of this situation that Kong Tong was a little murmured in his heart: Are the Lu family and the Hai family bluffing him?
I took advantage of this time to lie to him and report on military affairs.
Anyway, Li Yanling's letter said that the news was intercepted. Two demon kings came over, but there was no way to confirm that the entire message was true. Even the words in the letter had uncertain words such as "possible", "maybe", and "probably".
Looking back, even if you want to punish the crime with lies about military affairs, it is difficult to speak out.
Under this entangled mentality, Kongtong found the crown prince Li Chengzong and the Jindan elder Wang Gan of Yunxiao Sect to discuss the matter together, expressing his attitude of not wanting to withdraw his troops.
He also said that even if two demon kings really attacked, he and Wang Gan would not be able to fight together.
Wang Gan is more cowardly.
He is in the middle stage of the Golden Pill, but he has no confidence in dealing with a demon king at the peak of the third level. In his opinion, although Kong Tong is at the ninth level of the Golden Pill, he has just broken through and has not reached the peak at all. He is also not the opponent of the peak of the third level demon king.
The two of them worked together and could not beat Yin Liang and Lang Zhou.
But Kongtong was very persistent and convinced Li Chengzong with another thing:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has entered the Northern Wilderness Forest for half a year. Not to mention that his merit has not been made, but this little merit is obviously not enough at the moment. It is difficult to tell whether the truth is true or false. Even if it is true, with Lao I and fellow Taoist Wang Gan, you can maintain peace for a while. Moreover, Your Highness the Crown Prince can issue an order with me, requiring Hai Sande and Li Yanling to come here together. With the power of the four great golden elixirs, even if there are two peak demon kings coming, they will still have the power of a battle."
