Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 853: Wenzhi and Martial Arts

Depending on the message, Hehuan Gate and Piaoxue Pavilion were annexed one after another, and the territory of Yuanyang Sect increased dramatically.

Compared with the original, it has almost tripled!

As one of the few sects that stood out in the chaos after the human-monster war.

The power of Yuanyang Sect has increased significantly, and its reputation has spread throughout the Seven Nations Alliance and even the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World.

Two major sects were destroyed one after another, and the other two major sects were completely overwhelmed. The news spread that the world of immortal cultivation was in an uproar.

In the eyes of all the monks, it is basically only a matter of time before Yuanyang Sect unifies half of the original Yan Kingdom.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that they are both True Monarch Yuan Ying, True Monarch Zihong and Qingxu Lao Tao, and they are no match for Liu Yu.

The territory has tripled. The Waning Moon Valley and the Qingxu Sect are not threats. In the eyes of some monks, the Yuanyang Sect has a tendency to sweep the original Yan Kingdom.

After all, in the other half of the Yan country, there are several major sects that check and balance each other.

If the Yuanyang Sect rests for a while and then conquers the Qingxu Sect and Cangyue Valley, it will have a great advantage when facing the major forces in the other half of the Yan Kingdom!

Despite the different opinions from the outside world, after the sudden increase in territory, the Yuanyang Sect encountered many problems.

The biggest problem is "a vast land and sparsely populated areas".

Although the territory is large enough and there are enough resource points, there are not enough disciples to garrison it.

Based on the current situation, the Yuanyang Sect had no choice but to compromise and pass a decision by the Jindan elders to cooperate with the local immortal cultivating forces.

Share some benefits in exchange for the stability of rule.

In this case, the territory suddenly increased a lot, and the low-level disciples of Yuanyang Sect were not enough.

There were originally about 20,000 people. After experiencing losses in successive battles, there were only about 15,000 left at this time.

Even if they were all sent to guard resource points, it would still not be enough.

Because of this, Liu Yucai did not continue to attack after annexing Hehuanmen and Piaoxue Pavilion.

On the one hand, they are worried that taking too big a step will arouse the fear of other Nascent Soul forces and even the "Tian Lei Palace".

On the other hand, the sect monks are indeed stretched thin to guard such a large territory.

If the recruitment is not expanded, the foundation of rule will be unstable, and many strange problems will easily arise.

So under his instruction, just when many monks speculated that the Yuanyang Sect was going to unify half of the original Yan Kingdom, the Yuanyang Sect suddenly stopped expanding.

On the one hand, he recruited more disciples, and on the other hand, he consolidated the existing territory and stabilized the foundation of his rule.

Under Liu Yu's intimidation and realizing the huge gap in strength between them, Zhenjun Zihong sent an envoy to visit and expressed his willingness to surrender.

The Qingxu Sect, on the other hand, directly surrendered and was willing to donate a large amount of resources for cultivating immortals every ten years just like the immortal cultivating forces under its rule.

Trying to please Yuanyang Sect in exchange for the continuation of the sect's inheritance.

But there is a rift after all, and the "Old Demon Qingyang" always has his revenge.

Therefore, after Qingxu Lao Dao escaped from that battle, his whereabouts have been very mysterious, and it is suspected that he is not in the Qingxu Sect at all.

Instead, he hid outside and commanded his monks from afar.

Even though the Yuanyang Sect accepted the offer and expressed its willingness to accept the surrender of the Qingxu Sect, this person did not show up for a long time.

Time passed by unconsciously.

After "Spread the Word" easily destroyed Piaoxue Pavilion, Liu Yu made appropriate arrangements to leave some elites behind, and then set off to return to the sect.

Then he invited True Lord Huangmei to transfer the fourth-level spiritual veins from Hehuan Sect and the fourth-level spiritual veins from Piaoxue Pavilion.

Integrating two major fourth-order spiritual veins, the grade of Tongtian Peak's spiritual veins skyrocketed, barely crossing the boundary between fourth-order mid-grade and high-grade.

The cultivation environment of Liu Yu and other sect disciples has improved a lot.

When the spiritual pulse promotion of Tongtian Peak was completed, five years had passed since the war that affected the entire Yan Kingdom began.

And Liu Yu is also 388 years old.

The territory under its rule suddenly expanded, and the Yuanyang Sect had influence and resources.

But the primary problem faced was that there were not enough disciples to garrison every resource point, so they had to rely on some local forces.

Therefore, as soon as the war ended, Yuanyang Sect opened its gates and announced to recruit new disciples in advance.

Under the arrangement of a group of Jindan elders, a foundation-building deacon went to all directions to find people with spiritual root qualifications.

Every time you find someone, there will be a certain reward.

As the victor, Yuanyang Sect was naturally willing to spend a lot of money to seize a large amount of resources for cultivating immortals from the war.

As long as the task can be exceeded and the rewards are generous, the foundation-building monks will definitely be tempted and can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the disciples.

In addition, with the reputation of "True Lord Qingyang", the Yuanyang Sect is at the peak of its power in the nearby immortal world, and its influence is different from the past.

No matter what, joining a powerful sect and having a strong backer has only advantages and no disadvantages for most monks.

Therefore, as soon as the news spread, no matter whether it was the old land of the Yuan Kingdom or the newly occupied territory, all the major cultivating families sent children with spiritual root qualifications one after another.

In the hope that there will be care within the Yuanyang Sect so that the family can continue to prosper.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the number of inner and outer disciples of Yuanyang Sect increased significantly.

In just one round of enrollment expansion, the number of students increased from about 15,000 to about 25,000.

This is without relaxing requirements and strict screening.

Otherwise, with today's vast territory and huge population base, even if there are only a very small number of people with spiritual roots, it would not be a problem to easily approach 30,000.

Youdao means leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. The Yuanyang Sect destroyed both sects in one battle, allowing many casual cultivators to see a bright future.

Many self-proclaimed casual cultivators traveled thousands of miles to join the Yuanyang Sect, hoping to join the Yuanyang Sect or become a guest minister.

However, the composition of casual cultivators is complex and it is almost impossible to be loyal to the sect, so there are only a few people who can join the sect.

Most of them were directly eliminated, taking advantage of the excitement and returning home disillusioned.

A small number of them became guest ministers and the like. Although they were not formal disciples of the Yuanyang Sect, they still had some connections.

Only a very small number of casual cultivators with extremely excellent spiritual qualifications, or elders with certain skills, can successfully join the Yuanyang Sect.

For example, those with dual spiritual roots, those with higher spiritual energy affinity and relatively young age.

Another example is the alchemist, the weapon refiner, the formation master, etc.

It can be predicted that new disciples will be recruited every five to ten years. As long as this continues a few times, the number of disciples in the Qi Refining Period will definitely increase significantly.

At this time, the sect is rich in resources for cultivating immortals. As long as there are more disciples in the Qi Refining Period, some of them with good luck, character, and qualifications will surely become Foundation Establishment Deacons or Golden Core Elders in the next few decades.

…

Yuan Kingdom.

Yuanyang Zongshan Gate.

At the foot of Tongtian Peak is the Zhenyang Dojo.

By fusing multiple fourth-order spiritual veins, Tongtian Peak's spiritual veins have now reached the fourth-order high-grade, and the spiritual energy concentration has increased significantly.

Even in the cave at the foot of the mountain, the aura is richer than most second-order spiritual veins, and some are even close to third-order spiritual veins.

Therefore, at this time, Tongtian Peak Cave Mansion is already very popular.

Most of the new foundation builders will choose this place when allocating caves, instead of choosing a small spiritual mountain to open a cave.

After all, we are "at the feet of the Emperor". What if one day we see the Holy Face and are promoted by our ancestors?

But at this time, there were dense crowds of people standing in Zhenyang Dojo, all wearing standard sect costumes.

The inner door in white is at the front, the outer door in gray is at the back, and the foundation-building deacon is at the front of the queue.

As for Elder Jindan, he stood on the central high platform and presided over the ceremony.

Looking around, Nuo Da's dojo was silent.

All the monks looked solemn and respectful, watching the ceremony in silence.

As long as the sect's inheritance continues, there will be disciples during every year and festival, preparing all kinds of sacrifices and blood food to worship the ancestors whose souls have returned to Taixu.

Keep the incense burning and comfort the souls of our ancestors. Everything in the sect is still fine now.

In addition, when extremely important events occur, special sacrifices will be held.

For example, in the middle of the human-monster war, before Patriarch Tianfeng officially issued the order to relocate, the sect held a grand sacrificial event.

The ceremony was presided over by Li Changfeng, who had already passed away.

It is said that the descendants will not be able to make disciples and will lose the foundation laid by the ancestors through hard work. I hope to get the blessings of the ancestors and make the relocation go smoothly.

It was hard to leave my homeland, and according to records, the atmosphere at that time was extremely heavy.

The human-monster war is in full swing. The territory of the relocated mountain gate has been greatly reduced, and most of the resource points have been directly abandoned.

At that time, everyone was full of confusion, wondering whether the sect would decline.

I dare not forget about my country even though I am humble!

One or two hundred years apart, the atmosphere was equally solemn.

However, at this time, all the disciples of the sect held their heads high, their eyes bright, and they no longer had the slightest doubt about the future of the sect.

I believe that under the leadership of "Ancestor Qingyang", the sect will become stronger and stronger.

Destroy Hehuan first, and then attack Piaoxue. It will be just around the corner to swallow half of the Yan Kingdom, and it is not impossible to sweep the entire Yan Kingdom in the future.

In the expectation of some disciples, starting from the destruction of Hehuan Sect, the sect will become stronger and stronger step by step.

In the end, the entire Yan State was unified and reached a status comparable to the "Rushi Temple" in Qi State.

Looking at the whole Tiannan, it is very important!

This ceremony is to comfort the ancestors of the sect who have returned to Taixu. The enemy "Hehuan Sect" has been destroyed, so that they don't have to worry about it, and the sect is getting better and better.

By the way, let me report some of the great achievements of today’s ancestors.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~~!"

The ancient and thick bell suddenly rang in the ears of all the disciples, echoing in the vast mountains of the sect.

"In the spring of the 9221st year of the Yuan Yang calendar, the sect mobilized all its troops to attack the Lin Kingdom, marking the beginning of the destruction of the Hehuan Sect."

"."

"Summer of the Nine Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-One Years of the Yuan Yang Calendar"

On the altar, the white-haired elder read out the sacrificial words meticulously.

He is a figure of the same era as the "Three Elders".

Although his cultivation prestige is not as good as that of Yan Kai at this time, his qualifications are old enough, so he is most suitable as the host of the ceremony.

As the sacrificial verses were recited, a somewhat solemn look appeared on the face of the white-haired presiding elder.

What an honor!

Long memorial texts would probably be very boring if read in a book.

But when it was recited by an elder and matched with the atmosphere of the festival, it inexplicably made many disciples' blood boil.

The bells ring in my ears, and many disciples feel the same way.

It's like witnessing history with your own eyes, walking into legends and becoming myths!

"Zizi~"

As the sacrificial words came to an end, the presiding elder threw the pages of the sacrificial words into the brazier and burned them to ashes.

After saluting, he took out several pages of sacrificial texts.

In front of all the disciples, report the achievements of the current generation ancestors to the ancestors of the sect.

"Study less literature and history, and learn more about strategy!"

"Young knight with strange hair, dragon and tiger steps!"

"Discussing military skills and swordsmanship, and practicing martial arts scriptures!"

"Get the essence of Sun Wu and Bai Qi, and see the bone marrow of Tao Qian!"

"The bonfire is confused and its light fades, knowing that the luck of the acacia is over."

"First kill the old demon of Hehuan, and in the spring of the 9221st year of the Yuan Yang calendar, destroy the Hehuan sect in one battle."

"Destroy the Fengxue Immortals again, in the summer of the 9221st year of the Yuanyang calendar, we will send troops to annex Piaoxue Pavilion."

"."

The old and majestic voice of the presiding elder spread to every corner of the dojo.

Of course, some necessary modifications are indispensable.

For example, Liu Yu's Qi refining state was ordinary from beginning to end, but at this time, he was outstanding in the memorial text, and he was simply "born sacred."

Listening to the ancestor's great achievements, most of the disciples and elders knew in their hearts that there were some embellishments in it, but they still couldn't help but be in awe.

After all, no achievement can be faked at all.

In the past few years, they have all truly felt the series of benefits brought by the strong sect.

When walking in the world of cultivating immortals, as long as you reveal your identity as a disciple of the Yuanyang Sect, most of the monks will think highly of you and will not dare to neglect you at all.

This is the benefit brought by the strong sect.

Take the monthly salary of outer sect disciples as an example. After moving to the mountain sect, the monthly spiritual stones they could receive have dropped from five yuan to three yuan.

As soon as Patriarch Qingyang took charge of the sect, it immediately returned to four pieces.

Now the "Hehuanmen" has been destroyed, the "Piaoxue Pavilion" has been swallowed up, and countless victories have been gained in successive battles.

The monthly salary that outer disciples can receive has been increased from the original four spiritual stones to the current eight.

You must know that a low-grade magic weapon usually costs one hundred spirit stones, and a medium-grade magic weapon usually only costs two hundred spirit stones.

This means that as long as they live frugally for a year or two, even ordinary outer disciples can purchase a medium-grade magical weapon.

High-quality magical instruments are no longer a luxury!

The monthly salary and annual salary of the inner disciples and foundation-building deacons are also increased according to the corresponding proportion.

It can be predicted that the resources obtained will be greatly improved, and the cultivation level and improvement speed of all Yuanyang Sect disciples will be much faster.

In the end, the gap with the ordinary Nascent Soul Sect widened.

It is precisely because of the ancestor's control that the sect has become stronger, and all the disciples can clearly feel the benefits of the sect's strength.

What’s even more astonishing is that the ancestor is still less than 400 years old!

Nascent Soul monks can live up to 1,600 years old and can protect the sect for 1,200 years.

They believe that during this long period of time, under the leadership of Ancestor Qingyang, the sect will reach an unprecedented peak!

Now, the first step has been taken!

"salute!"

As the last part of the sacrificial speech ended, the presiding elder threw the sacrificial speech into the brazier and gave a deep drink.

As he said this, he bowed deeply to the tablets of his ancestors.

The next moment, in a solemn atmosphere of silence, more than 20,000 new and old disciples of Zhenyang Dojo bowed deeply towards the altar at the same time.

The scene was breathtaking, and the atmosphere of huge sects came to our faces.

This festival was of great significance, so except for the disciples who really couldn't leave, most of the disciples and elders rushed back to the sect to participate.
