Whether it is a sect or a cave, if it wants to gain a firm foothold and develop, it cannot do without human resources.
And these people cannot be taken back.
He didn't want to have his home stolen when he returned to Qingyun Sect.
Therefore, the mountain protection array must be arranged first.
The second is the reclamation of spiritual fields.
These more than twenty Jindan monks, plus the people Wu Sanjiu wants to bring back, will cost a lot of money just to eat every day.
Although it is possible to gather members of the Blood Demon Sect, this is not a long-term solution.
The best way is to farm on site.
But among the people brought back, none were good at planting.
The old monster Chi Yan mustered up his courage and said, "Sir, I know a guy who is well versed in planting. Why don't you kidnap him?"
Li Mu's face sank, "What are you kidnapping? Do you think we are evil cultivators? Invite them here."
The old monster Chi Yan hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "That guy has a very stubborn temper. He has been hiding in the mountains for hundreds of years. It is probably difficult to get him out of the mountains if you ask him."
Li Mu glared at him, "Are you living like a dog at your age? If you don't mind, just spend some spiritual stones. We have no shortage of spiritual stones in Chaoyang Peak."
"If he is not interested in spiritual stones..."
Li Mu threw over a stack of Mountain Opening Talisman, "Do you know how to do it?"
The old monster Chi Yan was excited. He had personally seen the magic of this mountain-opening talisman.
Integrated into the body, it only takes one thought to blast the golden elixir monk into smithereens.
Even if you don't use it to deal with the Golden Core cultivator, you can still throw a few talismans to blow up that guy's mountain. Then, won't the other party have to follow you back obediently?
"My lord is wise, my subordinates are going to kidnap him... uh, I'm going to invite him here."
The old monster Chi Yan carefully put the mountain-opening talisman into his pocket, turned around and left the cave.
There is also the breeding of spiritual animals.
There are also soul beast sellers in Sanliu Town, but the scale is too small to meet the development of Chaoyang Peak.
It's best to go to the Demon Realm in the south to catch it.
Of course, there is no rush in this matter.
Li Mu looked at the crowd, found Bao who had become a blood slave, and inquired.
Blood slaves just cannot control their bodies at will, but they still retain their souls and brains.
"Bao asked, you go collect intelligence and find a few spiritual beast strongholds in the Demon Realm to prepare for the breeding of spiritual beasts."
Bao Wentiao quickly said respectfully: "I obey my orders!"
Li Mu explained some more matters and returned to his small courtyard.
At night, Da Wu Sanjiu led a large group of people back, including more than seventy foundation-building monks and more than five hundred Qi-refining minor cultivators.
It’s almost like bringing that town with me.
Li Mu would not care about such trivial matters. While eating hot pot with Su Ling'er, he reviewed the past few days.
That Zen practice escaped, and what happened in the Forget River Valley would be known to the Blood Demon Sect sooner or later.
but,
Qianlao entered the Bronze Ghost Gate, his life or death uncertain.
The Blood Demon Sect now only has one Nascent Soul, Xiao Ding, and has lost a dozen Golden Core cultivators. Knowing that it was him who did it, he probably won't dare to come back to Chaoyang Peak easily.
As for whether the people sitting in the big red sedan chair were from the Netherworld Ghost Clan, Li Mu was not interested.
Although the ghost clan is rising, it is controlled by major immortal sects. In places like the hinterland of Dongzhou, only some low-level ghost clan are active.
Once things get serious, immortals will naturally step in to suppress them.
However, the things in the big red sedan chair can summon ghosts with ghosts, kill people with paper figures, and have teleportation arrays such as the Bronze Ghost Gate, which must be guarded against.
Li Mu picked seventy or eighty fruits of the human head vine, cracked open the "heads" and took out the glass bead-sized core inside.
The bright crystals are shining brightly.
Su Ling'er, who had been disgusted by what she saw just now, now became interested and asked curiously: "Senior brother, what is this?"
"The demon core of the vine demon. This human-headed vine is a mutation of the cave grass. It inherits the properties of the cave grass. The light emitted by this demon core can illuminate evil ghosts and weaken the power of the ghosts."
Li Mu handed her one.
Su Ling'er looked at it carefully.
This demon core is not hard, but has a bullet-like feel.
What glows is the outer film. If you look closely, you will find that the inside is filled with gray-black stuff like pomegranate seeds.
"Those are the seeds of the human head vine. Don't break this membrane, otherwise the seeds will bite people when they come out, which will be quite troublesome." Li Mu reminded.
Su Ling'er nodded and looked at Li Mu with admiration.
"The seeds of the cave grass seem to be the reward for number one on the list. Senior brother, how did you turn them into human head vines?"
"It's done by the upgrade system, of course. How could I tell you such a thing?" Li Mu thought, but said lightly, "There is a great expert in spiritual plant research in Xihe Prefecture, named Mendel..."
…
Blood Demon Sect, main hall.
On the bloody jade throne, Xiao Ding's face was extremely gloomy.
Several hall masters and more than forty Jindan elders all looked solemn.
Everyone was staring at the meditator who was holding an alms bowl in his left hand and a staff in his right hand.
"After Mr. Qian turned those casual cultivators into blood slaves, I pretended to leave, but in fact I hid to see if there was any chance to gain some merit."
"That's when I saw what happened."
"Then Nan Bowan did not die, but mixed into the ranks of casual cultivators."
"Master Wu Sanjiu of the noble sect has also become a member of Nanbowan long ago."
"Sect Master Xiao, I accept Mr. Qian's kindness and tell you everything about Wangchuan Valley. I have repaid this favor and take my leave."
With that said, he turned around and left.
Xiao Ding finally spoke, "Fellow Taoist, stay here! Xiao has sent someone to prepare a banquet. You might as well eat before leaving."
Zen Xiu did not refuse. He nodded slightly and bowed, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
"You Ning, please accompany this fellow Taoist to rest first."
"As commanded."
Shi Shiran, a graceful woman, came to Zenxiu and said, "Fellow Taoist, please."
After the two people left, there was a buzz in the hall.
The elders started to quarrel.
"Fake, absolutely fake!"
"There is no way Hall Master Wu could betray our Blood Demon Sect!"
"What if it's true?"
"There is no such thing as a chance. This man will not gain anything by lying to us. Instead, he will risk his life! Therefore, what he said must be true."
Xiao Ding angrily slapped the blood jade armrest, smashing it into pieces.
Everyone who was arguing suddenly shut up.
Xiao Ding said in a deep voice:
"Elder Duan, please go to Wangchuan Valley quickly to find out the situation."
Elder Duan immediately turned into a stream of light and flew out.
After more than an hour, the man returned to the main hall.
First, he took three blood demon pills, waited for a while, and then said:
"There is no one left in the town stronghold, and there are traces of battles in the Forgotten Valley."
Then he took out a bunch of pieces of flesh and blood from the storage ring.
There were also some broken golden elixirs inside.
Xiao Ding grabbed it from the air, and these golden elixir fragments flew into his hand.
After a brief feeling, Xiao Ding's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"It is indeed Elder Wang's golden elixir."
He grabbed another piece of minced meat from the air, and the blood on it seeped out. Xiao Ding felt it carefully, his face as gloomy as water.
"He was indeed killed by the Blood Demon Technique."
"It seems that this meditation did not deceive us."
"Wu Sanjiu rebelled!"
