Strange mountains and rivers

For Dahuai Mountain, the whole summer is probably the quietest period.

Yuelu Sect and Tianhe Sect have already known that Chen Huaisheng and his group have re-established themselves in Dahuai Mountain, and the momentum is not small, but they have not reacted much.

The losses last winter were too heavy. This summer has passed in a flash, and it is about to enter autumn and face winter again. Who knows what the situation will be this winter?

If it is still like last year, or even more severe, and their own survival is a problem, who will care about Dahuai Mountain?

This also won Chen Huaisheng and his group a chance to breathe.

But the breathing time is too short.

From the basic relocation of Mangzhong to the end of summer, this period is the most leisurely time for everyone on Dahuai Mountain to settle down and practice.

But it is less than three months.

After the end of summer, before the white dew, the weather turned cold, which made Chen Huaisheng feel cold in his heart. Will this winter be another cold winter?

Everyone knows that the earlier the weather gets colder, the earlier winter will come. The colder the weather, the greater the chance that the monsters in the forbidden land will come out, and even the higher the grade will be.

Last winter's monster storm has frightened everyone. The losses were beyond everyone's imagination. Even the battles with Baishimen and Yuelu Sect did not cause much loss to the Chonghua Sect, but a monster tide killed one-third of the foundation-building people, plus a purple mansion real person, which is simply unimaginable.

This is probably one of the main reasons why the Chonghua Sect made up its mind to move south to Ji County. Even Li Yu, who did not agree with the move to Ji County, had to succumb to the sect's opinion on this issue. The loss was too painful, and the Chonghua Sect could not recover in ten years.

Of course, it was not just the Chonghua Sect. Almost all the sects and families in the four states of Hebei suffered huge losses, but the problem was that Da Zhao was not like this. Although the losses were much greater than those in previous years, compared with Hebei, it was simply not worth mentioning.

Fortunately, the Chonghua Sect had made some preparations for the southward migration in the early stage, otherwise the loss might be even greater.

However, the Chonghua Sect, which had been on the rise, has now suffered a heavy blow, and the gap with its two old enemies, the Baishi Sect and the Zijin Sect, has widened again, especially the Baishi Sect.

According to the intelligence obtained, the number of Purple Mansion True Persons in the Baishi Sect is still growing rapidly, and has now expanded to nine people, and the number of foundation building has exceeded the peak of the Chonghua Sect, reaching about 40 people, which is second only to the strength of several super sects.

Of course, the increase in the number of Purple Mansion True Persons and Foundation Building Powerhouses in the Baishi Sect is not entirely due to its own cultivation and advancement. It still recruited some casual cultivators to join, and the Purple Mansion and Foundation Building that have been promoted by internal cultivation are mostly at the lower stages of Purple Mansion and Foundation Building, such as the Purple Mansion's Marrow Condensation Realm and the initial stage of Foundation Building.

But no matter what, this kind of strength growth is real and no one can ignore it.

The Chonghua Sect shrank rapidly in Wolong Ridge, and probably only kept 30 to 40 people in Longlinyuan. The rest of the people had moved back to Ji County after Grain in Ear. Fortunately, Li Yu was still staying for the winter.

Although the weather was getting colder, Chen Huaisheng followed the pattern of last year. It would take more than two months for the monsters to appear. Last winter, the monsters appeared in large numbers during the light snow. Even if we push it back half a month, there are still 70 days from now.

For everyone on Dahuai Mountain, these 70 days are also extremely precious.

The construction of the mountain protection array of the entire Dahuai Mountain is still proceeding in an orderly manner. This is the most important link and the link that Dahuai Mountain relies on for survival.

However, in view of the special table mountain terrain of Dahuai Mountain, Gou Yiwei's suggestion is to set up only early warnings at the bottom, not attack arrays, and concentrate the main spiritual materials and magic tools at the top, that is, to set up arrays around the top of the mountain, and only guard the last link.

Because the establishment of the magic circle was too expensive, 4,000 spiritual sands were spent on two trips to Bianjing to purchase related spiritual materials, and more than half of them were spent. There was not much left, but there was still some investment in the follow-up, which was really a bit unsustainable.

Cichunping was too large in area and had a special terrain. It was set up for a sect with 300 disciples. It was too advanced for Chen Huaisheng and his gang, but there was no way to change it.

In short, the spiritual stones were not enough.

"It seems that I have to go out for a walk." Chen Huaisheng deeply felt that it was difficult to be the head of a family, especially when it was just starting out.

Without sufficient foundation and savings, you simply couldn't support it. You thought that your original savings were already quite rich, but that was for an individual, it was indeed very rich and even abundant, but for a group of more than 50 people, it was far from enough.

In fact, he shouldn't go out at this time, but should stay in the mountains to practice well, but if he didn't go out, who would go out?

Zhao Sitian? Tang Jingtian? Or Zeng Guolin?

None of them are suitable, and they are not yet able to take on this responsibility.

As for the other Qi Refining levels, they are even less impressive.

Chen Huaisheng never thought that the first problem he faced after "starting his own business" was the lack of spiritual stones and financial resources.

No wonder they say that money, magic, companions and land are the most important, and now I have realized it.

Just a mountain protection array cannot be made without the investment of hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, and this is under the premise that Gou Yiwei dismantled many spiritual materials from the Yunzhongshan array and brought them over, but it is still far from enough.

To borrow? The Min family and the Sun family may have no problem borrowing 30,000 to 50,000 spiritual stones, but it is still not enough, and if they borrow too much, they will always have to pay it back. In the final analysis, Dahuaishan does not have a stable income channel.

Even if the Chonghua faction wants to abandon the Hebei side, they probably still want to retain the trade channels in Baitapu, but it depends on how much the Hua faction is willing to invest.

After all, thousands of miles apart, there is nothing that your Chonghua Sect can't handle. Once other sects enter Fuyang Road, such as the Youzhou Ning Family, or the Fengyi Sect, the Sun Family will still give this profit share to Do you value Chinese culture?

It's impossible to think about it. If you don't work in your position and do your best, you will naturally not be qualified to enjoy this benefit.

Even if Chen Huaisheng wants to use the Sun family's trade channels at that time, he will probably have to pay more.

It's difficult.

Chen Huaisheng really wanted to stay in the mountains and use this period of time to improve his spiritual strength. In the past few months, he had been taking purple jade dates and saving money from all aspects. He thought he was almost ready. After two months of seclusion, I have the opportunity to break through the realm and advance to the seventh level of foundation building.

But now he knew that if he didn't solve the problem of the spiritual stone and the problems needed for the magic circle, he wouldn't be able to practice breakthroughs with peace of mind. Instead, he would lose both ends.

Jing Zhonghong, Ju Zhenzhen, and Yang Husheng are all practicing in seclusion.

Since others have high hopes for him, he must live up to this trust, so Chen Huaisheng also provides full support to these three people when they want to attack and build foundations.

This is not only an explanation to everyone, but also a preparation for the tide of monsters that we may face this winter.

Chen Huaisheng even approved the retreats of Bao Que, Gu Yunchun, Yu Xianxian, Ling Fan, Xu Beihuai, Cai Jinyang, Tang Wenhu and others.

Approval means supporting spiritual materials, treasures and elixirs, but Chen Huaisheng feels it is worthwhile. Firstly, he can win trust. Secondly, this group of people will also be the backbone of Dahuaishan in the future.

On the contrary, Wu Tianen and Gou Yiwei temporarily gave up their retreat practice after self-evaluation.

Gou Yiwei has no time or energy, while Wu Tianen thinks that he does not have the strength to attack the fourth level of foundation building now, and needs at least two years of accumulation.

"There is no way. Dahuaishan is the first place here, and Cichunping is so large. It requires nine magic circles to correspond to the gaps at the intersections. Even if it is equipped according to the most basic conditions, it will require a lot of spiritual materials. There are less than four hundred spiritual sands in the mountain now. If we want to complete it before the frost comes, we will need at least an investment of five thousand spiritual sands..."

Gou Yiwei was also helpless.

It was not easy to complete the Yunzhong Mountain area, and it was moved to Dahuai Mountain, and the area was expanded several times, and the investment was huge. However, this was a necessary investment for a place to gain a foothold and ensure safety, and it was just in time to catch up with the current demon beast. We dare not lower our standards in this regard, otherwise the tragic situation last winter will happen again.

"Does Master Gou have any good suggestions?" Chen Huaisheng looked at Gou Yiwei.

This survival mode is very unhealthy, but now we have no choice.

"Huaisheng, I haven't gone out much for more than a year, and I have lost all contact with me. To be honest, I don't have any good suggestions." Gou Yiwei shook his head: "A goal like Hualin Garden is the best. , but you have to wait and see the opportunity.”

"The Yuelu Sect over at Donghe Fishing Ground has learned to be smart. Whenever they encounter a large transaction, they will be more vigilant. It is difficult to succeed in a sneak attack." Chen Huaisheng sighed, "Who else?"

Robbery is also a technical job. You can't just rely on your strength to do whatever you want. Does it make sense for you to grab a bag of fish at the fishing ground?

Spiritual materials trading shop, is it worthwhile for you to grab a bunch of spiritual materials?

It's troublesome to cash out, the stolen goods have to be sold at a reduced price, and there's no use keeping them for yourself. These all have to be taken into consideration, so it turns out that Gou Yiwei is so popular.

"There is really no suitable place to go. I'm afraid the only choice is to go to Youzhou." Gou Yiwei thought for a while, "It's not a good place, but there is nothing we can do now. Let's just make do. The risk is high and the benefits may not be satisfactory."

Chen Huaisheng smiled bitterly, how could he still be qualified to dislike this or that?

He has never been to Youzhou, and Gou Yiwei is probably not very familiar with it, but now he has to go to Da Zhao to find a suitable target, and it is a bit too late in time. Since Gou Yiwei can propose it, I am afraid he still has some points.

"Uncle Gou, you have no choice, just do it." Chen Huaisheng spread his hands and said, "Who makes us poor?"
