"Middle stage of foundation building..."
He murmured softly, and his brows seemed to be a little more dazed.
For a moment, he shook his head secretly. He was able to reach the middle stage of foundation building so quickly, thanks to the chaos in the world!
Without this chaos in the world, there would not be so many channels for obtaining resources.
If it were like the Great Chu Immortal Realm in the past, where all resources were controlled by various forces, in such a situation, it would be impossible for him as a casual cultivator to collect resources and wealth as he does now.
At most, like Ji Ming, he settled in one place, relied on his skills, weaved a network of contacts, and collected resources.
Day after day, long years.
He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and exhaled a breath of turbid air. Then, with a wave of his hand, he swept away all traces left in the courtyard.
I took out the Sound Transmission Order and went into seclusion for half a year. In the Sound Transmission Order, I accumulated a lot of Sound Transmission Orders.
Most of them were sent by the immortal cultivators he met, either related to matters related to weapon refining, or some spiritual objects and materials that they wanted to trade with him.
Xie Zangfeng of the Qi Hall also sent several messages. In his words, he hoped that he would return to the Qi Hall to take up his post immediately after the retreat.
There are also quite a few sound transmission imprints that have completely dissipated.
In this case, either the message order was destroyed, or the person died.
Obviously, the latter is more likely.
He listened to the transmissions one by one, pondering slightly.
The war, which has escalated dramatically in the past year or two, seems to have become more and more anxious during his six months of seclusion.
Judging from the news just revealed by the sound transmission, in the past six months, the Righteous Alliance Changsheng Sect and the two sides even had a fight with real people in the Golden Core Realm!
It is said that in the Jingbei Mountains, several Jindan masters took action, and even the peaks were destroyed!
He couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart, such an increasingly serious situation...
You know, the Battle of Jingmen has been stalemate for many years.
Whether it's the Righteous Alliance or the Changsheng Sect, I don't know how much blood has been shed in this Shura field!
The birth of a foundation-building realm cultivator requires decades of training and a large amount of resources to achieve foundation-building.
But in this Jingmen battlefield, although Qi-training monks account for the majority, their combat power is low and they are basically used as pure auxiliaries.
The foundation building realm is the main force on the battlefield.
The meat grinded by this battlefield meat grinder is also in the foundation-building realm!
The two sides have been in a stalemate for many years, and the number of foundation-building monks killed and injured is probably countless.
The battlefields between the two sides are not just Jingmen. There are several battlefields at the north-south border between the two forces that are not inferior to Jingmen in scale.
Given the background of both parties, there will always be one who cannot afford such a horrific bloodletting first.
Once it cannot hold on, it will inevitably be a big decisive battle.
As for the current situation in Jingmen in the past two years, no matter how you look at it, it seems that a war is approaching!
Once this decisive battle occurs, Jingmen City will definitely be completely affected, and it is impossible to have the peace it has now.
While he was thinking about it, he looked at the voice transmission order in his hand and thought a little.
For a moment, he looked at the house that was sealed by numerous formations, and then glanced at Wangcai lying outside the house. While thinking deeply, he also walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
On the street, the city was still noisy, and the anxiety of the war brought not only countless casualties.
Just as he himself has entered the middle stage of foundation building this time, only in troubled times can there be opportunities.
The more intense the war, the more generous the rewards released by the Righteous Path Alliance will be in order to win over the active forces.
The more generous the reward, the more immortal cultivators will naturally be attracted to work hard.
Even Chu Mu himself, who has always been cautious about his words and would run away immediately if he made any mistake, was tempted by such a generous reward and violated his usual code of conduct and worked hard for the Righteous Alliance in Jingmen City. .
After wandering around the city, he scattered thousands of spiritual stones and purchased some common consumable spiritual items. Finally, he stopped in front of a shop.
The store has three floors and covers an area of several acres. It is tall and majestic, but extremely exquisite.
The entire body is made of first-order spiritual wood. The doors and windows are surrounded by restrictions and complicated lines, but it also has an inexplicable sense of beauty.
The entrance steps are made of jade, which is bright white and warm. A plaque hangs high on the eaves of the door, with the three characters "auction house", flying dragons and phoenixes, extremely clear.
"Senior, please."
He was still outside the door, and in the shop, a maid in a blue and white gauze skirt came to greet him.
Chu Mu nodded, and under the guidance of the maid, he walked into the auction house and took a seat.
It’s not much different from an ordinary auction house.
The interior of the three-story store is actually a large auction house.
After finding a seat near the exit and sitting down, the woman whispered softly and asked,
"Senior, would you like tea or alcohol?"
"Our bank stocks Yuning Ling Tea, Lanling Green Tea, Donghu Yue Baijiu, Changhe Liquor..."
"Tea, Yuning tea."
Chu Mu spoke briefly, and then, as if he thought of something, he asked again: "How long until the auction starts?"
"The auction starts in an hour."
"OK."
Chu Mu nodded and said no more.
The purpose of his coming to this auction is not for this auction, but for the exchange meeting that is usually held after the auction.
When all the foundation builders gather together, they can also find out a lot of news.
With the current situation in Jingmen, he had to be more cautious.
See the situation thoroughly before making preparations.
Whether to leave or stay remains to be decided.
"Fellow Taoist, I heard that you have achieved breakthrough in seclusion recently..."
"Hey, in the middle stage of foundation building, fellow Taoist, have you succeeded in breaking through?"
"Middle stage of foundation building..."
"congratulations!"
Not long after we sat down, several familiar monks greeted us. After some polite greetings, we were quiet for a while.
"I was just outside the door, but I heard that fellow Taoist, you have broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, and your cultivation has made great progress. I am very happy to congratulate you."
After only a moment of silence, another familiar voice sounded from behind.
He turned around and saw that the person coming was the Xie family monk who had helped him get rid of Zhao Hong, Xie Ming!
Chu Mu replied with a smile, and then the conversation changed, turning to the current situation without any trace.
As soon as the topic changed, Xie Ming's expression suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy, and he was obviously very sad.
"It's becoming less and less peaceful now."
Xie Ming said slowly: "Just a few days ago, three Jindan masters from our alliance fought again in East Lake, and the outcome was still undecided."
"Master Jin Dan has directly participated in the war. The rumors above have probably changed."
Chu Mu was confused: "The news from above?"
"I just heard that, please don't talk nonsense..."
Xie Ming was a little cautious. He glanced around and then said through his spiritual consciousness: "I heard that just over three months ago, the Supreme Yuanying of the alliance had a fight with several Supreme Elders of the Changsheng Sect. field!"
"Nascent Soul?"
Chu Mu was surprised and obviously frightened.
"Yes, it seems to be in the Changsheng Mountains, but I don't know what the final result will be..."
"Anyway, after that, Master Jin Dan started to fight..."
Chu Mu became more and more surprised: "Why are you in the Changsheng Mountains?"
"Who knows? Besides, for those in the Nascent Soul Realm, where to fight or not to fight, and the distance will be a problem..."
Chu Mu shook his head. He didn't agree with Xie Ming's statement.
The Changsheng Mountain Range is where the sect of the Changsheng Sect is located. It can be called the hinterland within the hinterland and the core within the core.
The Nascent Soul monks from the Righteous Dao Alliance went to the hinterland of the Changsheng Sect to fight with the Supreme Nascent Soul of the Changsheng Sect...
There must be a reason.
However, this reason is obviously not something that low-level monks can know.
But no matter what, the war has escalated to the point where even Nascent Soul is dead, and Jindan Daoist has begun to fight. Then this Jingmen...
Can't stay any longer!
In just an instant, he made a decision.
No benefit can be compared to his own life!
King versus king, versus general, but this is a tacit understanding that can only occur when both sides have equal strength and the balance of war is balanced.
As the war escalates, this balance will inevitably be broken!
Once it is broken, it is okay if the Righteous Alliance has the upper hand. If the Changsheng Sect has the upper hand, it will be a complete massacre.
He had heard about the tragic defeat of the Righteous Alliance.
The two of them were still chatting with each other, but obviously, their thoughts were not on this small talk.
The auction is still going on steadily, with treasures being auctioned one by one. With an auction house opening in this frontline place, there are naturally a lot of rare things.
During the process, Chu Mu also spent tens of thousands of spiritual stones to take photos of several elixirs. The ages of the elixirs varied, but they were all what he needed.
When the last treasure is auctioned off, the auction ends and the customary exchange meeting begins.
Some cultivators left, while others gathered in twos and threes to chat.
Chu Mu hesitated for a while, and finally joined one of the small circles at the call of several acquaintances, Zhu Ji, and listened silently to everyone's conversation.
Obviously, Chu Mu is not the only one who is worried about the situation, there are also many monks who are worried about this.
During the digital foundation building, the focus of the conversation during the small talk was also based on the current situation.
There are those like Chu Mu who are cautious and think that they should run away in time, but there are also those who have interests that move people's hearts, and those who think that opportunities are in short supply and want to fight for the path to immortality.
There are also many opinions, and everyone has different opinions.
But without exception, everyone also believes that the current situation is about to change drastically.
After chatting for nearly an hour, the foundation builders dispersed one after another.
Chu Mu was walking alone on the street with many thoughts on his mind.
He was not thinking about staying or leaving, but thinking about where he would go after he ran away.
He worked for the Righteous Alliance, even if he was just hired by casual cultivators, he was still working for the Righteous Alliance. In the Changsheng Sect, his wanted bounty was at the forefront.
If he really wants to run away, he can only choose to stay within the sphere of influence of the Righteous Alliance.
The sphere of influence of the Righteous Alliance extends from west to east, isolating the north and south of Chu, and is vast.
In such a large area, where would he go to best suit himself?
He was thinking silently, but at this moment, there was a sudden and shocking roar.
Chu Mu's heart tightened subconsciously, and he looked sharply in the direction where the roar came from.
In the direction of the center of the city, I saw flames soaring into the sky and smoke billowing...
