Human beings are the spiritual leader of all things and are born with wisdom.
Creatures who are born without wisdom and become wise through acquired enlightenment are all called monsters.
In an environment full of spiritual energy:
Things flying in the sky, things swimming in the water, animals on the ground, insects underground... all creatures have the chance to become monsters.
The spiritual veins in the water of Cangjiang River stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are countless shrimps, crabs, fish and turtles living there.
In this vast aquatic tribe, even if only one in 10,000 individuals breathe out spiritual energy and initially develop spiritual wisdom by chance, that is still an extremely huge number.
"I remember that in the Cangjiang River, there seemed to be more than a dozen water monsters with perfect Qi refining."
"It's just that these dozen monster beasts have always been under the secret surveillance of the disciples in the meeting, waiting for the moment they transform..."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but feel something in his heart when he thought of this.
The monsters in the water in the Qi refining stage are just tasteless chicken ribs to the GCC Foundation Establishment Masters.
But if these Qi-refining monsters break through to the foundation-building stage, it will be completely different.
Monsters in the foundation-building stage are full of treasures and are excellent treasures for refining elixirs and refining weapons.
If you can take its branded blood contract into a spiritual beast, it will be even more profitable, and you can add a good and loyal helper with foundation-building combat power.
"These dozen or so water monsters with perfect Qi refining are equivalent to farmed chickens..."
Zhang Yao frowned slightly and shook his head secretly.
"Forget it. These monsters are under secret surveillance. It's best not to intervene rashly."
"If I really want to conduct a blood test, I can only rely on myself to select the experimental subjects..."
Although monsters that have reached a perfect level of Qi refining are the most likely to improve their bloodline and achieve breakthroughs in cultivation, their targets are too big and they have been targeted for a long time.
Zhang Yao could only do the next best thing and try to select some stronger water monsters to conduct the bloodline test he imagined.
"After the matter of the Dubu Alliance is resolved, let's start with it. You can start with the most common fish monsters..."
Zhang Yao was thinking about it in his mind and quickly figured out the specific execution steps.
…………
the other side.
Kangzhou, in the main forum of Dubu League.
The solitary traveler sat in the high seat, with a slightly gloomy expression on his face, and closed the Cambodian book in his hand with a snap.
He has a slender face, deep-set eye sockets, and eyebrows as slender as willow leaves. Although he looks old, there is a sharpness that cannot be concealed.
"...I know about this."
The solitary traveler put down his Cambodian book and said expressionlessly:
"I will give you a reply in three days at the latest."
"Then it will be up to you, Leader of the Dubu Alliance."
Taoist Xiangu smiled slightly, and after Shi Shiran bowed and bowed, he exited the main hall of the Dubu League's main altar.
After he leaves:
"Bang!"
The lone traveler finally couldn't suppress his anger and slapped his palm on the bill, making a dull loud noise:
"What an idiot... idiot!"
"It's so embarrassing that it fell into the hands of a mere new foundation builder and was caught in the act."
The anger in his heart surged, and his eyes were filled with disgust and annoyance.
If the GCC is a loose organization established with the skill and background of real people in the GCC;
The Lone Ranger Alliance was established solely by relying on the Lone Ranger's personal strength and prestige, and gathering many Lone Rangers among the foundation-building monks.
Under this situation, the organizational structure of the Dubu League is even more loose. Although everyone is united, they have few common interests and many people are busy with their own private affairs.
For example, this Feng Dujuan, her status as a member of the Dubu Alliance is just a background. She is more busy with the Feng family's affairs, secretly digging for the GCC's mineral veins, and she acts without permission for her own selfish purposes.
But as the boss of the Dubu League, once something happens to the people below, the Dubumen will be involved no matter what, and often have to find ways to wipe their butts.
"This is another troublesome matter..."
After venting his anger for a while, the solo traveler quickly regained his composure and began to weigh the pros and cons.
After pondering for a while, he issued a summons order to summon the foundation-building members of the Dubu Alliance in the main altar and Kangzhou.
After the message is sent:
In less than two days, seven or eight members of the Dubu Alliance came from all over Kangzhou. In addition to a few who stayed in the general altar all year round, there were more than a dozen foundation builders gathered together.
This is not all the foundation building members of the Dubu Alliance.
As the force with the largest number of foundation-building monks among the second-rate forces, there are more than twenty foundation-building members in the Dubu Alliance, and their origins are also mixed. Many of them are hiding their heads and tails, or they are not visible at all. Fake identity.
"You all know the news, please share your opinions."
In the main hall of the Dubu League, the Dubu monk spoke calmly.
"What else is there to say?"
A tall, bearded man with a sinewy face spoke loudly:
"This is absolutely slander. Why do people in the GCC dare to conclude that we are the ones leading the operation to steal ore?"
"It's obviously the fault of Feng Dujuan, that bitch herself. I don't have the benefit of profiting from a piece of spiritual stone..."
"Fellow Taoist Man is right."
An old man sitting upright with a solemn expression also spoke in a deep voice:
"This matter has nothing to do with us. She took the good things by herself, and she should bear the responsibility herself."
"In my opinion, it is better to fire Feng Dujuan directly and let the GCC handle it."
As soon as this statement came out, many foundation-building monks spoke in agreement and received unanimous approval.
Most of the foundation-building monks of the Dubu Alliance adhere to the principle of not caring about matters that concern themselves, and they don't bother to pay attention to Feng Dujuan's life and death.
Unless it infringes on the interests of all of them at the same time, it will lead to everyone unanimously speaking out.
"You can't say that."
There were also foundation-building monks in the hall who retorted:
"If everyone thinks this way and refuses to come forward when encountering problems, then what's the point of us forming an alliance?"
"That's right, everyone originally joined the team to keep warm. If they all go their own way, then our Solo Alliance will exist in name only..."
"Although Feng Dujuan is an incompetent waste, we can't just ignore him. We must at least find a way to negotiate with the GCC."
Seeing a dozen foundation-building monks split into two factions, arguing with each other, the main hall was noisy.
The solitary traveler who was sitting in the main seat looked on with cold eyes and had no intention of stopping him.
After a long period of noise, many foundation-building monks also realized that something was wrong, and the hall gradually became quiet.
"Alliance leader."
A young scribe wearing a feather fan and silk turban looked up at the lone traveler on the main seat with a hint of exploration:
"What do you think, old man?"
The eyes of many foundation-building monks also focused on the face of the solitary traveler.
"...My idea is very simple."
The solo traveler spoke slowly, his face remaining calm from beginning to end:
"The matter of stealing ore is completely false and is a complete slander against us by the GCC."
"As for Feng Dujuan and the Feng family, they were obviously framed by them. The evidence in their hands was also forged. This kind of devious trick is nothing but a joke."
"Feng Dujuan herself is one of the important members of our Dubu Alliance, but now she is plotted against, captured and suppressed by them. We still have to settle the score with them!"
As soon as these words came out, many of the dozen or so foundation-building monks in the hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and some even showed a smile.
In the strange situation just now, they almost thought that the leader of the alliance had changed his usual strong style and was ready to give up.
If this is really the case, the Dubu Alliance will lose its backbone and only mediator, and it will fall apart in just an instant.
Fortunately, the attitude of solo travelers seems to be the same as before, which makes many people feel at ease again.
"Lord Leader."
The big man with a thick beard and a sinewy face couldn't help but say:
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Old rules."
The solitary traveler spoke calmly, as if he already had a clue:
"The GCC people want us to compensate for the losses, and I also want them to cede a few black gold veins."
"You can argue with words, but you can't tell the winner. In the end, you have to see the truth behind the scenes."
"It just so happens that I haven't done anything for many years and want to stretch my muscles..."
When he said this, he glanced at the many foundation-building monks below and said calmly:
"Do you have any objections?"
Among the many foundation-building monks, some were silent, some frowned slightly, but no one publicly expressed their objection.
The power and status of the independent travelers can be seen from this.
…………
Two days later.
Fangzhou, in Cangjiang Water Palace.
Master Haihe convened everyone to discuss the progress of matters against the Dubu Alliance.
"This solitary traveler is indeed the martial arts madman..."
Peng Yuexian sighed with emotion and said:
"He was able to mess around with this completely unreasonable matter and eventually push it into an open fight."
"Back then, he relied on this move to achieve success in Dali. I didn't expect that he would still be doing the same thing after so many years..."
Fairy Lichen frowned slightly and couldn't help but said:
"This is a whimsical plan of his. We can't just follow his wishes, right?"
Her idea is simple:
The fact that Feng Dujuan stole GCC property is an undeniable fact that cannot be denied at all.
Given the background of the GCC, as long as it is pushed upwards and the Fuhai Sect steps in to put pressure, wouldn't a mere Dopp Union have to submit obediently?
"Li Chen, you think too simply..."
Another female cultivator next to her, the second "Fairy Yuanmeng" in the middle stage of foundation building in the GCC, shook her head and said softly:
"When the Dubu Alliance was founded, it was a mixed bag of good and bad. It took in many desperadoes who were wanted and was hunted down. It was hostile to many forces."
"But of course there is a reason why they are still standing today."
"In addition to the fact that Du Xiren himself has amazing combat power, many foundation-building monks don't know that he actually has a secret backer, the owner of Tianbao Tower Yuwen..."
"Master Yuwen?"
Fairy Li Chen and several younger Zhuji couldn't help but change their expressions.
The reputation of this person who is the number one under the golden elixir in Dali can be described as thunderous, and everyone knows about it.
If there is secret support from the Yuwen Building Master behind the Dubu Alliance, then it would be really difficult for the Fuhai Sect family to force them to submit.
After all, the power of Tianbao Tower is not a vegetarian, and it is impossible for such a trivial matter to alarm the Jindan Patriarch.
"Um……"
Master Haihe pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Zhang Yao and said:
"Qingxu, I wonder what you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many foundation builders in the hall turned to Zhang Yao.
Since the battle at Sui Yushan, Zhang Yao's status in the GCC has been completely different, and his opinions have become important.
"I don't have any opinion."
Zhang Yao shook his head and said directly:
"Everything depends on the decision of the leader."
In fact, he doesn't care much about the Dubu League.
Although he had captured Feng Dujuan, if he could use this as an excuse to successfully wrest some benefits from the Dubu League, he would also get a big share.
But his current main focus is still on improving his cultivation and searching for the true blood of the Six Directions. If he couldn't avoid it, he wouldn't bother to get involved in such things.
"this……"
Master Haihe frowned slightly, obviously still a little undecided.
If we do not fight this battle, we will not only weaken our own momentum, but also miss this opportunity in vain.
But if he agrees to this public fight, he actually doesn't have much confidence in winning. If he loses, he will lose everything.
"Let me think about it again."
Until the end, Master Haihe had not made up his mind, and everyone had to disperse.
After returning to his cave:
Zhang Yao was about to continue his hard training when the formation outside the door was suddenly touched, and a familiar voice came:
"Qingxu, it's me."
"Guild leader?"
Zhang Yao was a little surprised and quickly came to the entrance of the cave and dispersed the formation.
After the two greeted each other, they came to the hall and took their seats. Master Haihe got straight to the point:
"Qingxu, this sudden visit is actually because I have something to ask of you."
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly and he said:
"Is the guild leader planning to agree to a public fight and want me to participate in the battle?"
Currently, he is considered the second-largest combat force in the GCC.
Both Peng Yuexian and Fairy Yuanmeng openly admitted that they were inferior, at least on the surface.
If the GCC is really prepared to have a public fight with the Independent Alliance, then he will definitely have to fight. It would make sense for the GCC to discuss it with him in private in advance.
"No, of course not."
Master Haihe shook his head and said cautiously:
"Actually, I am ready to refuse this public fight. It is just delaying for time."
Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"To be honest, I actually have a secret spy inside the Dubu Alliance to collect some inside information for me."
"According to the information he sent, the attitude of the independent traveler towards this matter is quite suspicious..."
"suspicious?"
Zhang Yao narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Does the guild leader suspect that the solo traveler has other plans?"
"It's not clear right now."
Master Haihe shook his head and said solemnly:
"In recent days, the behavior of the solo travelers has become a little weird. In some details, they are even different from before."
"What particularly makes me suspicious is that he is more aggressive than before in this public fight..."
