Do not die

The reason why Meng Zhou had such doubts in his heart was not just because of this detail.

In fact, Meng Zhou had always had a layer of doubt lingering in his heart.

About the world itself.

For practitioners in the five realms, the world with hundreds of thousands of miles in radius is vast enough.

For most of them, it is difficult to fully explore even one area in their lifetime.

They have no intention of paying attention to the world beyond their own capabilities.

Therefore, they take their knowledge of the five realms for granted.

What is beyond the five realms?

have what?

Few people think about it, and even fewer people care about it.

But for Meng Zhou, who had past life experience, this too clear division between "knowable" and "unknowable" gave him the greatest sense of dissonance.

It's hard for him not to think about a question——

What is beyond the five realms? have what?

The first person to help him expand his horizons beyond the Five Realms was Yan Zhuang.

Meng Zhou not only knew about the Xingxiu Sea that existed outside the Five Realms, but also had the power to crush the Five Realms in all aspects.

He also confirmed from Yanzhuang's memory that there was indeed a larger world outside the Five Realms.

Unfortunately, before Yanzhuang established the foundation, when his actions were still completely controlled and autonomous, what he knew and saw was very narrow. Except for some information about Xingxiu Sea, there was no harvest that Meng Zhou expected;

After he achieved foundation building, his destiny was completely controlled by an invisible hand, and his thinking and vision did not improve with his strength.

Instead, he gradually became distorted and paranoid, completely trapped within an extremely narrow range.

Meng Zhou also failed to solve the doubts about this world from his memory.

But Meng Zhou always kept this matter in his heart and never let go.

This time, with this appropriate opportunity, I finally burst out from the depths of my heart.

It was clearly presented in his mind, so that he could no longer avoid it and had to face this problem squarely.

With this in mind, Meng Zhou felt that his body and mind suddenly became a little heavier.

After returning to Aurora Cave, Meng Zhou had already made clear his next plan.

Meng Zhou’s practice has always been “self-centered”.

No matter how chaotic and changing the outside world is, he can "stay in a small building and become unified", regardless of all the changes and disputes in the outside world.

Without today's discovery, Meng Zhou would most likely continue following this pattern.

But now, Meng Zhou realized that he had to make changes.

In the past, without knowing this secret, he could still practice on his own leisurely.

But now——

"I have to take the initiative to do something."

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but think of the advice he had given to Qingxuanzong through "Song Yang".

At that time, he advised Qingxuanzong that before making a choice, he must first distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and then make decisions and responses.

Meng Zhou suddenly realized that it was like a boomerang, spinning around in circles and finally returning to his hand.

——That set of principles also applies to him now.

"If there is anyone in the Five Realms who knows something about the true status quo of the Five Realms, it is most likely none other than the founders of the sect, such as the Five Elders Qingxuan and the Third Patriarch Yu Ling."

"Those who are most worried about this real situation and have the most firm hostile beliefs are also this group of people."

When Meng Zhou made this clear in his mind, some new plans had already emerged in his mind without any deliberate effort.

However, although he had new considerations in mind, Meng Zhou did not take action immediately.

Instead, he calmed down all his thoughts again and devoted himself wholeheartedly to practice, as if he had never made this unexpected discovery.

In the blink of an eye, it’s December.

The fifth day of December.

Cultivation progress +330, fifth level of elixir formation 7650/10,000;

Third-level Spring Water Sutra +3300, Grandmaster 75,900/240,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument's real skill +3300, Grandmaster 64,200/240,000.

Shortly after finishing this routine retreat, Meng Zhou suddenly had a thought in his mind and once again turned his attention back to the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone who stayed in Sanchuan Yuan.

According to the agreement he reached in advance with the Jade Blood Army and the Pharmacist Branch, he will come out to treat a group of patients with traumatized souls again in the middle of this month.

Therefore, Meng Zhou has already made plans to temporarily return to Sanchuan Plain in the middle of this month.

But just now, the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone placed in Sanchuan Yuan received messages from Gu Ruiming and the Blue Blood Sword Yao Gu from the pharmacist branch.

They informed him of the same thing.

At that time, Xuan Lin, the deacon hall master of Qingxuan Sect, and many other senior officials of Qingxuan Sect will be present.

Naturally, their purpose cannot be simply to be curious about his rejuvenating medical skills.

Although the two of them did not tell the true purpose of this group of people, Meng Zhou did not have any guesses in his mind.

Not to mention anything else, Jade Blood Army, Thousand Island Lake, and Wucailing have obtained a large number of fake elixir level spirit puppets from themselves many times in succession.

Even if all three parties consciously concealed it for him as agreed, the scale was so large that it was no longer something that could be concealed even if one wanted to.

Therefore, Meng Zhou would not be surprised at all if Qingxuanzong came to him because of this matter.

You may even feel that its response speed is too slow - why did you come here!

In addition, there is also the matter of the elixir and wine, and Qingxuanzong also knows something about it.

It would not be surprising if Qingxuanzong came to him because of this matter.

Amid such random thoughts, the time came to mid-December.

…

Sanchuan Plateau.

Jade Blood Army station.

Meng Zhou completely healed the last fake elixir whose soul was injured.

During this visit, Soul Healing Technique gained a total of 23,000 experience points, further advancing its accumulation at the master level.

——Among them, one hundred and forty foundation-building injured patients provide an average of 150 experience points each, and the ten fake elixir injured patients provide an average of 200 experience points each.

"Master of Soul Healing Technique 30,000/120,000"

After being treated, those patients who had recovered from their injuries would leave the hospital in an orderly manner under the guidance of dedicated personnel from the Blue Blood Army. This was the usual practice in the past.

However, what was different from previous practice was that from the moment Meng Zhou began to diagnose and treat the first patient, a group of monks from Qingxuan Sect were watching silently.

The leader among them is Xuan Lin, the master of the Deacon Hall, who was the one who presented a jade slip of the Medicine Master's inheritance to Meng Zhou on the 90th anniversary of the Qingxuan Sect.

Because he had close contact with Meng Zhou, Xuan Lin felt particularly deeply when he saw Meng Zhou's flowing movements.

When Meng Zhou finished his diagnosis and treatment and came to meet them, Xuan Lin had already led a group of Qingxuan Sect monks to greet them. The smile on his face was brighter and more sincere than when the two met for the first time.

As Meng Zhou expected, after a brief exchange of greetings, Xuan Lin took the initiative to introduce the fake elixir puppet and elixir wine.

But what surprised Meng Zhou was that although the other party used fake elixir puppets and elixir wine to bring up the topic, their focus was elsewhere, not on these two items themselves.

It should be mentioned that the 24,000 jars of spiritual medicinal wine provided by Meng Zhou to the Pharmacist Branch were ten kilograms each, totaling 240,000 kilograms.

Being able to sell out in such a short period of time is not only because it is of excellent quality and can perfectly meet the needs of many monks, but also because it is stuck at a good time.

At that time, the beast tide had not yet officially become a force, but some forces who were quick to seize the opportunity had already formed fighting teams and continued to pile up in the outer ring area.

During that special window period, practitioners stood at an advantage compared to monsters.

As a result, a large number of military contributions were born.

At this stage, the most important task of Qingxuanzong is nothing else. No matter how many results are achieved against the monsters, or how many teams are attracted to join the group, it is not the focus.

At that time, Qingxuanzong was most concerned about making the value of "military contribution", a thing created by him, widely recognized.

To achieve this, the core principle is one:

It can be exchanged for things that can be bought with spirit stones, and it can also be exchanged for things that cannot be bought with spirit stones.

The breadth of its application scenarios determines the value of "military contribution", and this is the core of Qingxuanzong's "control" of other forces.

In order to achieve this goal, Qingxuan Sect not only opened up a large number of its own resources, allowing other monks to exchange their military contributions.

At the same time, other high-ranking forces will also be included in the system.

One of the key points is the entire professional association.

According to the agreement reached between the Professionals Association and Qingxuan Sect, other forces can use their military contributions to exchange various items with the Professionals Association.

Including but not limited to elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, formations, pharmacists' treatments, etc.

Therefore, despite the fact that every branch of the Professionals Association has been busy since the outbreak of the monster beasts, they have not earned much spiritual stones, and most of them are in the form of military contributions.

Of course, Qingxuanzong would not be so naive as to let other forces help Qingxuanzong to find out.

The military contributions held in the hands of the Professionals Association are undoubtedly recognized by the Qingxuan Sect.

Moreover, Qingxuanzong also played a very fancy operation. Ethereal things such as voice, respect, and status can be quantified by military contributions.

According to Qingxuanzong's standards, the more military achievements you make, the better your treatment at Qingxuanzong will be.

More attention, more say...

Because Qingxuanzong has been strictly implementing this set of standards, there have even been many interesting conversations.

One of them said that as long as he contributed enough military merit, it would be feasible for Qingxuanzong to bow his eyebrows and bow his waist and greet him with a smile.

Now, Meng Zhou has verified with his own personal experience that this is not a funny story.

This is real.

He took action twice to diagnose and treat those monks whose souls were injured, and the military merits gained were converted into high-grade spiritual stones, which amounted to about 4,000.

For ordinary forces, this is already a huge amount of money equivalent to their entire net worth.

But to Meng Zhou, this was just a fraction.

A total of 240,000 kilograms of spiritual elixir wine has brought a total military contribution worth 80,000 high-grade spiritual stones to the pharmacist branch.

And this is just the income created by him alone.

The entire pharmacist branch, all the pharmacists, have started practicing liver-exploding practices since the outbreak of the evil beast.

Although they did not go to the front line, in terms of their contributions and military merits, they were no less than any other group.

It can be said that the entire Pharmacist Branch, including him as the president, has accumulated military merit equivalent to 150,000 high-grade spiritual stones.

At this moment, Meng Zhou gradually came to his senses when faced with the deacon hall master's affection that went beyond reasonable limits and the underlying meaning of his words.

The main purposes of this group of people are as follows:

First, Xuan Lin hoped that Meng Zhou and the entire pharmacist branch would not exchange too many high-grade spiritual stones.

As compensation, Qingxuan Sect can open the top level authority to the Pharmacist Branch.

He can use his military contributions to exchange for various top-notch resources in Qingxuan Sect.

Upper limit?

There is no upper limit.

As long as it is owned by Qingxuanzong and can be used for trade and exchange, just mention it!

Seeing what Xuan Lin meant, I wished he could exchange it for more high-end goods.

Secondly, Xuan Lin hoped that if possible, Meng Zhou could come up with more items such as elixir wine and fake elixir puppets.

As for why Meng Zhou was able to take out these things, Xuan Lin didn't care at all.

In other words, among the many things he cares about, this matter is too low in priority and is not worth investing too much time and effort in it.

However, in response to this matter, Xuan Lin also made some "small" requests.

If he can supply these two types of items on a large scale again, according to the guidance and suggestions after the comprehensive evaluation of the Deacon Hall, it is reasonable to double the price of all fake elixir puppets and various types of elixir wine.

As for the current fake elixir puppet, it only costs 150 high-grade spiritual stones, and one kilogram of the first-grade elixir wine only costs 1,000 low-grade spiritual stones. This is all for charity.

Perhaps, what Xuan Lin really thinks in his heart is that his low-price dumping is destroying the entire market environment, right?

After some exchanges with Xuan Lin, Meng Zhou could understand his current situation.

In other words, there are definitely not many people in this spiritual world who can understand his current situation better than himself.

And I must be one of the few.

When the wave of monster beasts swept through the entire Qingxuan outer ring area, Qingxuan Sect realized that although they had made a lot of preparations, they still underestimated the scale of the wave of monster beasts.

Interestingly, this did not pose any substantial threat to Qingxuanzong.

But for Xuan Lin, the deacon hall master who is in charge of the economic power of Qingxuan Sect, it is a huge threat.

Qingxuan Sect imitated some experiences within the sect and created a "military contribution" covering the entire Qingxuan Domain out of thin air.

This gave Qingxuanzong a lot of convenience. Using it as a starting point, Qingxuanzong could easily accomplish many things.

But the current situation is that because the scale of the beast tide was underestimated, the military contribution will be much greater than Qingxuanzong originally expected.

There is already a trend of flooding.

This is a huge challenge for Xuan Lin and others. They must find ways to digest this overwhelming military exploits.

On the one hand, they must take the initiative to guide big customers like Meng Zhou in the direction of military merit exchange.

On the other hand, they have to cooperate with them to digest the military contributions on the market as soon as possible.

After figuring out Xuan Lin's current predicament and his purpose, Meng Zhou suddenly understood. (End of chapter)
