Immortal Palace Longevity

As time went by, the Jindan elders above did not send any orders, and many cultivators began to relax.

In the minds of many cultivators, since they had not broken down after talking for so long, the differences should not be very big.

Thinking of this, they relaxed a lot and were no longer as nervous as at the beginning.

Liu Yu also did not think that the war would continue.

After all, there were already fifty or sixty foundation-building cultivators who died in the Yuanyang Sect alone. You should know that the Yuanyang Sect only had more than four hundred foundation-building cultivators, and the casualties of the affiliated forces were even more severe.

If the fight continued like this, it would really hurt the bones and muscles, and it would not be good for the five major sects.

Liu Yu even secretly guessed that the specific distribution ratio of the Hanwu Spirit Stone Mine might have been divided by the Yuanying cultivators of each sect.

Gathering here today was just to officially announce it to the outside world, and by the way, let the Jindan cultivators below discuss the mining of the spirit stone mine and the matter of the garrison personnel.

As for setting up the arena, the five major sects arranged for the cultivators of the three realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Golden Core to fight a few times, and then decide the distribution of the spirit stone mine?

I can only say that I think too much.

Just as it is extremely difficult for the Qi Refining stage to intervene in the fight between the foundation building stage cultivators, the gap between the foundation building stage cultivators and the Golden Core stage cultivators will only be greater, and the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage are like a natural chasm, which is impossible to cross.

This huge gap in "quality" cannot be made up by "quantity" at all!

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator can easily sweep the cultivators below him, just like a dimensionality reduction attack, and no matter how many, it is impossible to make up for the huge gap.

In this case, it is the five major sects that can determine the direction of the Chu State and the distribution of the spirit stone mines, and it must be the Nascent Soul ancestors of each sect who determine the fate of the five major sects.

Although the death of the cultivators below the Nascent Soul will damage the vitality of the sect, it cannot shake the foundation.

When the sun was about to completely disappear on the horizon, the situation suddenly changed.

The Jindan cultivators above seemed to have reached some kind of agreement and negotiated a mutually acceptable condition. They all descended from the sky and returned to their own camps.

Liu Yu pricked up his ears and listened to the explanations of Elder Yan and Elder Zhou.

As he thought, the share of the spirit stone mine had already been allocated by the Yuanying ancestors.

They came here this time just to officially witness the end of the war. The Jindan elders of the five major sects gathered together to discuss the mining of the spirit stone mine and the issue of garrisoned cultivators.

According to Elder Yan, the shares of the five major sects in the Hanwu Spirit Stone Mine are: Piaoxue Pavilion 26%, Cangyue Valley 17%, Qingxu Sect 17%, Yuanyang Sect 20%, and Hehuan Sect 20%.

In Liu Yu's opinion, this distribution plan is relatively "normal".

It conforms to the rule that the strong eat more and the weak eat less in the world of cultivation.

Piaoxue Pavilion has two Yuanying cultivators, and its overall strength far exceeds that of any other sect. It is reasonable that it has the largest share.

The strength of the other four sects is not much different, and they are united in pairs, so the share is naturally not much different.

It's just that Yuanyang Sect and Hehuan Sect are "local tyrants" after all, and the spirit stone mine is at the junction of Qingjing and Qingjing continents, so they have a larger share.

Finally, Qingxu Sect and Cangyue Valley, because the strength is not much different and the sects are far away, so they naturally suffer some losses in the distribution.

On this point, Piaoxue Pavilion, Yuanyang Sect, and Hehuan Sect are still very tacit.

As for the specific mining of the spirit stone mine and the issue of the garrisoned monks arranged by each sect, there is a lot of knowledge in it. As long as a little operation is done, you can get a lot of money.

Therefore, the Jindan monks of the five sects argued endlessly about this, and they refused to give in for four or five hours.

Elder Yan and Elder Zhou announced the end of the war in the Chu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world in front of more than 200 foundation-building cultivators, nearly 10,000 Qi-refining cultivators, and all the big and small forces in Qingzhou.

There was no cheering as expected. Many cultivators died in the big forces in Qingzhou, including Yuanyang Sect.

For many cultivators who are still alive, some of them have lost their support, some have lost their inheritance, and some have lost their close friends.

Perhaps, sometimes living is more painful than dying.

Although they had anticipated the possible outcome before setting off, they had to come.

For the rest of Qingzhou, Yuanyang Sect is an absolute behemoth, with a heritage of more than 8,000 years and ruling Qingzhou for 3,000 years.

When such a behemoth gives an order, it is really "those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish".

No matter how big or small the forces in Qingzhou are, they have to accept the reality. If they go, they may suffer heavy losses, and if they don't go, they will definitely be wiped out.

Of course, the cultivators who died because of the Yuanyang Sect's transfer order to participate in the war will also receive some compensation, such as exemption or reduction of tribute for a certain number of years.

For example, if a foundation-building cultivator died, the annual tribute may be exempted for ten to twenty years depending on the situation.

As for direct compensation of spirit stones? This is just symbolic, and it is rarely used under normal circumstances.

As for the compensation of a foundation-building cultivator who died, a foundation-building pill? That is purely a fantasy.

The Yuanyang Sect's rule over Qingzhou has never relied on etiquette and reason, but on thorough barbaric strength!

The huge gap in strength also requires excessive consideration of the ideas of other forces in Qingzhou.

Liu Yu has read the records in the library. After experiencing the initial pain, this ruling policy is generally stable.

In fact, the other four major sects of Chu State also do this, but some sects are packaged with a layer of shell, while some sects are more naked.

The Yuanyang Sect is not the most cruel, but it is definitely not the most gentle.

As the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire world of immortal cultivation gradually declines, the resources for immortal cultivation will inevitably decrease slowly.

The resources for immortal cultivation in Chu are limited, but there are more and more cultivators. If this continues, it will inevitably fall into a vicious cycle.

Either increase revenue or cut expenditure.

At present, increasing revenue is basically impossible. The resources of the immortal cultivation world in Chu that should be discovered and utilized have already been discovered and utilized. Unless you seek resources from outside, there are other immortal cultivation worlds outside Chu.

Unless you want to start a war between immortal cultivation worlds, it is impossible to increase revenue.

In this case, you can only cut expenditure and reduce resource consumption.

Therefore, the five major sects are all interested in reducing the number of immortal cultivators in Chu. First of all, it is naturally impossible to weaken their own sects, so they have to start with the affiliated families, sects and independent cultivators.

Under the intentional or unintentional guidance of the five major sects, using the excuse of the war of spirit stone mines should have achieved the desired result.

This time, the five major sects suffered many casualties, not to mention the affiliated forces, which were at least twice as many as the five major sects.

As for the casual cultivators, countless of them died.

According to the records he read in the library and what he saw and heard in Wangyue City, Liu Yu made some uncertain guesses.

The tasks performed by the affiliated forces were obviously more dangerous, and the arrangements were somewhat unreasonable. Could it be that no knowledgeable people discovered it?

There must be, but what's the use of discovering it? What can you change with absolute strength?

If you dare to spread rumors, not only will you die, but you will also implicate your family or your own sect.

The five major sects are okay. At least they can use war as an excuse to reduce the number of cultivators.

If it is a demon sect, why would it be so troublesome? Just send the cultivators in the sect to start a bloodbath, and neither blood, flesh, nor souls will be wasted.

Regardless of the emotions of these affiliated cultivators, Elder Yan called all the foundation-building cultivators of Yuanyang Sect present to one side, and then set up a soundproof shield.

Elder Yan coughed lightly, his eyes flashed, he glanced around and said:

"The dispute over the spirit stone mine has basically been settled."

"After discussing with the Jindan cultivators from other sects, I have planned the number of cultivators stationed at the Hanwu Spirit Stone Mine."

"Elder Zhou will be stationed here for a long time. In addition, our sect can arrange seven foundation-building cultivators and one hundred Qi-refining disciples."

Guarding the spirit stone mine is a lucrative job!

At that time, there is no need to be greedy. Just a little bit of transportation is enough to feed the average foundation-building cultivator.

Hearing this, except for Zhao Wuji, Zhou Zhuofeng and other cultivators who are trained by the sect and have no shortage of spirit stones or have a big background, they are unmoved.

The eyes of the other cultivators all lit up and became eager.

This is a real benefit!

For a while, many foundation-building cultivators looked at Elder Yan eagerly, hoping that they could be stationed at the spirit stone mine.

Of course, Liu Yu is not among these cultivators.

He had already solved the problem of lack of spirit stones, so naturally he didn't need to sneak around to get benefits from the Cold Mist Spirit Stone Mine.

Now he had only one idea, to quickly return to the sect, to have a good retreat, and to raise his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building.

"Because it needs to be arranged immediately, the garrisoned cultivators will not be dispatched from the sect."

"Well..., just choose from you."

Understanding the thoughts of these juniors, Elder Yan smiled on his wrinkled face.

"Elder, I am stationed here for the sect from afar, and I will never let the sect suffer losses."

"Elder Yan, Guo is willing to be the spirit stone mine for the sect for life, and will never take a step back to defend the interests of the sect."

"Elder..."

"Junior is willing to garrison..."

Concerning real interests and colorful spirit stones, many foundation building cultivators no longer cared about the demeanor of "immortals" for a while, and rushed to recommend themselves to Elder Yan.

Many foundation building cultivators realized that this might be an opportunity to change their own destiny.

With spirit stones, you can buy sharp magic tools, pills that can quickly improve your cultivation, and it will be easier to improve your realm.

Unfortunately, unlike Liu Yu, who relied on the spirit stones earned by refining pills and running shops to control his own destiny, the quota of garrisoned monks was in the hands of Elder Yan, who could even make the decision at this time.

"Quiet, what a mess!"

Seeing the noisy scene, Elder Yan frowned, the smile on his face disappeared, and he shouted in a very unhappy voice.

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet, and many foundation-building monks could only look at Elder Yan expectantly, hoping that they could be one of the seven "lucky ones".

A few monks who were not interested in this task looked at the former with some amusement, such as Zhao Wuji.

Liu Yu did not have any contempt in his heart.

It's not shabby to get spirit stones.

He had no problem with this garrison mission.

Although there is no shortage of spiritual stones, Liu Yu has the Immortal Palace in hand. If this task really falls on him, he doesn't mind being a diligent porter.

He carries the spiritual stones from the spiritual stone mine to his own Immortal Palace without anyone noticing.

With the magic of the Immortal Palace world, any detection method is not effective. Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator is in front of him, Liu Yu is somewhat sure that he can't find it.

As he gets deeper and deeper into the Immortal Palace, he becomes more and more confident.

If he really enters the mine, it will definitely be like a mouse falling into a rice jar, with no way out.

Wait for ten or eight years, and when the transportation is almost done, find an excuse to leave, it is indeed perfect.

There are more than one hundred foundation-building monks in the Yuanyang Sect who are present. Even if a few monks are not interested, there should not be too many monks and too few porridge.

Elder Yan pondered for a moment, then moved his right hand and pointed at seven foundation-building monks in succession, asking them to stand up and asked:

"Are you seven willing to guard the spirit stone mine for the sect?"

Some of the seven foundation-building monks felt a little bit unbelievable that such a good thing would actually be their turn:

"Disciple is willing!"

"I will live up to the high expectations of the sect and the elders!"

Among the seven people, Yan Hongyu and Yan Qun'er were among them.

As for the other five foundation-building monks, Liu Yu did not know their identities.

But I think the monks of the three major factions in the sect should have them. It is said that people become wise with age. Elder Yan, who is hundreds of years old, will definitely not leave room for criticism.

He did not find it strange that he was not selected. Without expectation, he naturally did not feel disappointed.

With the size of the five major sects, they only controlled one medium-sized spirit stone mine, while Piaoxue Pavilion had several more small spirit stone mines, which showed how great the benefits it contained.

Elder Yan would definitely arrange for the cultivators of his own family to enter first. It was human nature to consider the problem from the perspective of the family.

With the value currently shown by Liu Yu, it was naturally not enough for Elder Yan to arrange a quota.

It was easy to arrange two people for his own family, let alone just an unimportant outsider?

It was too ugly to eat, which would cause public anger.

Elder Yan's authority in Wangyue City was self-evident. The parties involved had already agreed, so naturally it was not the turn of those foundation-building cultivators who were not selected to object, so he waved his hand and revoked the soundproof barrier.

When Liu Yu and others returned to the camp, there were already a full hundred Qi Refining disciples standing in front of the formation and divided into several teams. Their backs were straight, and some disciples could not help but show their joy.

Needless to say, these Qi-refining disciples must have been arranged by Elder Zhou. The two elders really have a "clear division of labor".

Liu Yu shook his head in his heart.

Any place is bound to have exchanges of interests, and there are also human relationships.

Not long after, several teams of Qi-refining monks and several foundation-building monks walked out of the front of other sects in neat rows.

Liu Yu noticed that Piaoxue Pavilion arranged the most Qi-refining and foundation-building monks to be stationed here, followed by Yuanyang Sect and Hehuan Sect, and Cangyue Valley Qingxu Sect had the least.

It seems that the arrangement of stationed monks is calculated according to the share of the sect. The more shares, the more monks can be arranged.

Although the shares have been determined on the surface, it is hard to say what "small actions" are secretly done in private.

Arranging more monks will undoubtedly make it more convenient to do small actions, and there will be more places to operate.

"Junior Brother Zhou, this matter is over. The matter of the Lingshi Mine is handed over to you."

Elder Yan discussed with Elder Zhou for a while, and then said solemnly.
