In the meeting hall of Longhu Mountain, the annual tribute ceremony of various factions is taking place. The white-haired Taoist nun Li Xuanyang, who was suddenly sitting at the top, let out a light sigh and asked:
"Why is it that Nanman's sect's income is 10% higher than that of Donghai this time?"
"I remember that although the sect has been deeply cultivating in the Southern Barbarians for a long time, there are not only the remnants of the Demon Sect there, but also the soul clan who is watching eagerly from the side. It seems that it is very exhausted. There is no reason that it can be better than the land of the East China Sea, which still has a foundation. Is it more profitable?"
The black and white Taoist sitting at the bottom quickly bowed and said: "Old Ancestor, this disciple is aware of this matter."
"It turns out that in Zhongzhou, a small sect moved there, named Qing Ning Valley. In the past year, a kind of wild vine puppet refined in this small sect has been extremely popular among various sects."
"In addition to earning a lot more spiritual stones, it has also greatly reduced the pressure on our southern barbarian frontline, so that the recovery of various factions has also made great progress."
"Therefore, our Longhu Mountain in Southern Barbarian really relies on this Barren Vine puppet to increase our income by several percent this year!"
After saying that, he calmly took out a wild vine puppet. With a movement of spiritual energy in his hand, the puppet immediately made various extremely practical movements.
While Taoist Black and White was demonstrating in the main hall, outside the main hall, a veteran Jindan monk who was relatively close to Qing Ninggu smiled at Jie Puzong, who was sitting beside him and was a little uneasy:
"Elder Xie, this time you, Qing Ninggu, have earned a lot of face for our Southern Barbarians, and you are actually able to overtake the East China Sea."
"Maybe if Longhu Mountain is happy, it can give you Qing Ning Valley a pill to break through the realm. Now we Southern Barbarians will have another Nascent Soul cultivator. It's really gratifying!"
Unexpectedly, Jie Puzong gave a bitter smile, cupped his hands and said, "Master Wang, please don't joke. It's not like you don't know the situation of our Southern Barbarians. Maybe there will be another war soon!"
"How can I have the leisure to suddenly go into seclusion now, which will affect the operation of the sect. Even if the sect is rewarded this time, I would rather exchange a few more treasures so that the monks in my sect will suffer less damage!"
When Xie Puzong said this, the headmaster Wang immediately said in awe: "I didn't expect that Elder Xie would wholeheartedly think about the sect. He is really respectable!"
"However, the cultivation level of our monks is also well-established in the sect. Having a high-level monk standing in front of us can also scare many young people away and save them a lot of trouble."
"Let me tell you, Elder Jie, you are not too young. If you miss the critical period of conceiving a baby, it will be too late!"
Xie Puzong's eyes flashed and he wanted to speak. Suddenly, all the bells and drums on Longhu Mountain were heard. Everyone knew that this was the end of the internal discussion in Longhu Mountain, so everyone fell silent and hurriedly took their seats.
Sure enough, after a while, the black and white Taoist was the first to flash in. With his sleeves rolled up, he took a group of monks from the Southern Barbarian sect into his robes and brought them to a black and white mountain peak.
Everyone knows that this is the cave of Taoist Black and White, and even the spiritual energy is much stronger than elsewhere. Understanding that this was a benefit that Taoist Master Black and White intended to give to everyone, they quickly took the time to sit cross-legged and start meditating.
Taoist Black and White was obviously in a good mood. He looked at everyone with flashing eyes and said with a slight smile: "You guys have worked hard this time, and our Nanman's harvest is 10% higher than that of Donghai, which makes Pindao's face look good. Light!"
All the monks quickly said they didn't dare, and Taoist Qingbai smiled and pressed his hands and said: "Don't be humble! Please rest assured that I, Longhu Mountain, am not a stingy person! I will definitely wait for you to return to the sect. I, Longhu, will The mountain’s reward will come!”
"Okay, if you have any questions now, just like in previous years, take the time to ask questions. I will deduct corresponding points based on your sect's contribution. If the points are not enough, you will have to use spiritual stones to make up for it!"
"Of course!"
All the monks couldn't help but feel shocked. For these monks, the interests of the sect belong to everyone, and only this opportunity to ask questions belongs to them.
This is also Longhu Mountain's method to win over the core monks among the sects. After all, there is no benefit. Just pointing at a group of sects to pay tribute is obviously not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the three major sects.
Of course, for the three major sects, how to control the strength of the sects below is also an art. When you have an opportunity to ask questions like this, it is extremely important to say more, say less, and be more detailed.
Even after the question is asked every year, often within a month, it is the time when many monks make rapid progress in their cultivation.
But what is often strange is that it is often the weaker sects that gain greater benefits. On the contrary, those stronger sects seemed to gain smaller benefits.
But no matter what, high-level monks, especially those who are eager to break through, attach great importance to this once-a-year opportunity to ask questions.
Sure enough, after a long time, although the monks still looked like they were still unfinished, Taoist Black and White had stopped talking and recited a verse leisurely with a slight smile:
“Everything has its proper place, and what you enjoy is its heaven.
Experts know it silently, but this meaning is wonderful and difficult to understand.
I know the answer to the question, but the guest asked is far away.
Zhou and Die are not two, fish and I would rather hang together.
It is a small pavilion made of thatched grass, and its meaning cannot be explained in words.
It’s been so long that I’ve forgotten the opportunity! "
After reading it, everyone knew that their fate was over this year, so they all bowed their heads. Then I saw Taoist Black and White gently rolling his sleeves, and everyone disappeared immediately. Apparently, Taoist Black and White had sent him down the mountain.
Only Jie Puzong was left behind by Taoist Black and White. He stared at him and snorted coldly: "You Qing Ning Valley did something too outrageous this time. Fortunately, I am in the sect to cover you up! Otherwise, I'm afraid You won’t be able to reconcile yourself this time!”
After hearing what Taoist Black and White said, Jie Puzong didn't know that the crisis was over. He quickly sneered shamelessly and approached Taoist Black and White. He took out the two treasures that Qian Yunsheng had brought from Zhu Wenzheng's cave, and they were relatively insignificant, and he quickly handed them over with an eye-catching look:
"Senior Rongzhen, there is really nothing we can do about this. Who would have thought that the East China Sea side is so incompetent. As a result, we sold too many of our things, so we were sued by them for finding trouble!"
"But after all, everyone is doing it for the benefit of Longhu Mountain. If we sell more, it will also squeeze the share of Qingyun Mountain and Taiwei Pavilion in the East China Sea!"
After saying that, he saw Taoist Black and White calmly putting one of the immortality wine soaked in thousand-year-old yang spiritual fire into his arms, while the other hesitated and took out two more items and said:
"Senior, don't worry. How can I let my senior suffer this time when I come here?"
"In addition to these two items being filial piety to seniors, the other two items are entrusted to seniors to be transferred to senior Yun Xiangzi."
"Junior heard that senior Yun Xiangzi suffered a slight injury some time ago. This piece of Miaojiang Lingxi paired with the Qianli Nine Life Pills, I think it can also be beneficial to senior Yun Xiangzi's injury!"
"This is also the intention of the juniors and seniors. With the two pillars of the sky, senior and senior Yun Xiangzi, protecting the juniors from wind and rain, the juniors will not be afraid of villains trying to frame us!"
"Oh?" This time Taoist Black and White's face finally showed a trace of satisfaction, and he hummed in a slow tone: "It's rare that you are interested! Then I will accept it for my senior sister first!"
After he finished speaking, he paused again and said with some pun: "It seems that your Xie Huatou is familiar with my Longhu Mountain, and you can even detect the injury of my senior sister. I am afraid that you have worshiped many people in the sect. Alright?"
Xie Puzong quickly complained, but obviously Taoist Black and White only had to control Nanman for a day, so he was naturally not afraid of Jie Puzong taking it out of his hands.
So after a while of hammering, he changed the subject and asked, "Do you know why I left you here?"
Xie Puzong quickly showed a solemn expression and said: "But the three major factions are going to attack Kuiyou City?"
"No!" Unexpectedly, Taoist Black and White shook his head and said, "This time, I, Longhushan, cooperated with Taiwei Pavilion to take action against a member of the Demon Sect named Xuanyuan."
"And your Qing Ning Valley's Barren Vine puppet happens to be quite useful for this operation!"
After speaking, he made a slight move with his hand, spread out a picture of spiritual energy and said, "This is the method for refining the puppet of my Dragon-Tiger-Shan-Er Taoist God."
"You, Qing Ning Gu, have made outstanding achievements this time, so I took the initiative to find this method as your Qing Ning Gu's reward this year!"
"But if you, Qing Ninggu, get this method, you have to refine a hundred puppets of the Ear God within three months!"
"I've been thinking about it for a long time. It takes three months to create a hundred Erdao God puppets. Only your Qing Ning Valley's wild vine method can do it."
"But this is fine. With this reason, it will be difficult for the East China Sea to interfere with your rewards!"
"As for your situation, although it has not been resolved this time, I will pay attention to you and will not delay your pregnancy!"
After hearing Taoist Black and White's words, Xie Puzong was slightly moved in his heart. When he remembered Qian Yunsheng's instructions, he quickly put on a mournful expression and said:
"The senior is so worried about the junior, which really impresses the junior! However, the junior still has a difficult matter here, and I also ask the senior to help!"
