After seeing the news about Zhuang Sheng, Gu was worried.
Has the situation that has been tense for nearly a year finally become untenable?
Looking at the message Lu Yu left behind, it was similar to Zhuang Sheng.
Gu Dan did not hesitate, opened the formation of the cave, and finally walked out of the cave gate after three days.
Outside the gate of his cave, there were no monks waiting here anymore.
They were probably kicked out by the people from the Law Enforcement Hall.
Not only that, there wasn't even a wandering monk around.
Gu Dan thought for a while and walked towards Zhuang Sheng's cave.
"Are you out of seclusion?"
Zhuang Sheng glanced at Gu Dan's slightly gray hair and said, "It seems that the situation is still not good."
"It's not a big problem. What happened these days?"
Gu Dan asked directly.
"The other five immortal houses started fighting together."
Zhuang Sheng said in a deep voice: "Just three days ago, all negotiations broke down, and there was no room for relaxation. The monks who signed the contract refused to fulfill the contract, and the five immortal workshops refused to cede the prefecture-level areas. So of course , and a fight broke out.”
"How is it going?"
Gu Dan didn't look surprised either.
He had already predicted that it would be an unsolvable knot. Unless a large number of people died, it would not be enough.
"Those monks who do not have caves in the yellow-level areas, and some masters who have reached the late stage of Qi training formed an alliance called the 'Sharing Alliance' and united with each other.
They believe that the source of spiritual energy is created by heaven and earth and does not belong to any one person. The Five Immortal Workshops were originally ownerless, but the group of people who first discovered them shamelessly occupied them, and used the source of spiritual energy to continuously exploit those who came after them.
Now, I don't even have a trace of face, I just think about how to get more benefits from them, but I don't want to leave them even a chance. In this case, why not overthrow the immortal workshop, re-divide the spiritual energy yourself, and work together to plan for the future. "
"Masonic Alliance?"
Gu Dan smiled and was not very optimistic.
The goal can be set big, but the road is destined to be difficult.
At this time, the Freemasonry Alliance was composed of a group of oppressed monks and ambitious people. Even if it was for their own benefit, they were willing to risk their lives to gain a future.
But it is precisely because of this that it is destined that this thing will hardly have any practical changes. It is nothing more than a group of monks hugging each other for warmth.
When there is a great threat, they unite to ensure their own survival. But once results are achieved, when the benefits are redistributed, can they still work together in the same boat?
That's probably impossible.
Even just looking at the development in the ordinary world is enough to predict that there is something wrong with the Freemasonry Alliance.
"At least that's what they say."
Zhuang Sheng also shrugged slightly, obviously not very enthusiastic about this matter.
Treasures from heaven, materials and earth, whoever discovers them first will use them.
But a cave-like existence such as the source of spiritual energy cannot be used or moved away. Whoever discovers it first does not necessarily belong to whom, so you can only rely on your fists to speak.
This is the first time in Xianlin's eighty-eight years that the low-level monks have united to challenge the authority of Xianfang.
Although Ningfang escaped from this matter by luck, its operating model is no different from the other five immortals. Theoretically speaking, in a few decades, the fate of the other five immortals will be the fate of Ningfang itself.
Whether it was to avoid this matter or to integrate the source of spiritual energy, Ningfang could not turn a blind eye.
"Even if there is a fight, it will be inside the Immortal House, right?"
Gu Dan asked.
The low-level monks have a huge flaw.
That is, there is no way to break away from the aura itself.
It's okay for warriors. Without spiritual energy, their own flesh and blood is also strength.
But how much better can a Qi-training monk be than a mortal without spiritual energy?
Without the blessing of immortal magic, they would not even be able to leave the Buzhou Mountains!
"That's right, the five fairy houses have been divided."
Zhuang Sheng immediately nodded and said: "Many monks have rebelled, including most of the monks in the Huang-level cave. Although they also have caves to live in, how can they not covet the Earth-level cave and even the source of spiritual energy itself?
If you practice steadily, you may not be able to break through to the realm of foundation building. It is most likely a waste of time. But with the help of spiritual energy source to advance to foundation building, Hall Master Huang Chao is the best example.
Some people even use the adventure of Hall Master Huang Chao to inspire people, believing that the source of spiritual energy can help people advance to the next level and build foundations. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a monk with low-grade spiritual roots to be promoted to Foundation Establishment in just thirty or forty years. "
"That's true."
Gu Dan said: "No one is a fool. The speed of promotion of Hall Master Huang Chao has shown that the source of spiritual energy itself is extraordinary. Previously, no one challenged the authority of Lingfang, and people were divided. Even if they had some reverie in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out. Since we have already broken our skin at this time, we naturally have nothing to worry about."
"In just three days, one of the foundation builders has already died."
Zhuang Sheng added: "Another foundation builder of Huofang Lingzhen Hall was killed by a master who was in the late stage of Qi training."
"Is it Huofang again?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly.
As the first immortal workshop established, Huofang has the deepest foundation.
Correspondingly, it will inevitably mean that the overall strength of Huofang will be stronger.
There are also more monks who are trapped in the barriers in the later stages of Qi training and unable to advance to foundation building.
Those grandmasters whose time is short must not want to see themselves die before building the foundation barrier in their final years. Risking one's life is no longer something they dare not try at this time.
Perhaps the often mentioned Grandmaster's burning flesh and blood will soon turn into a blazing sun, scorching this dusty land.
"That's not all. Feng Qian, the leader of Huofang, threatened to shut down the formations of Huofang so that the monks would have no spiritual energy to use. The monks of the Freemasonry Alliance said that if Feng Qian dared to do that, they would destroy all the formations of Huofang. If it is demolished, no one will live."
Zhuang Sheng said intriguingly.
A false battlefield: the flash of swords and the shadow of swords, and every step is startling.
The real battlefield: wars of words, each pursuing his own agenda.
But in any case, killing another foundation building has undoubtedly greatly increased the spirit and morale of the Mutual Aid Alliance. It can be seen with the naked eye that the foundation building is not unshakable. The gap between the later stages of Qi training and the early stage of foundation building is not that big. .
Although their quality is not high enough, their quantity is great!
Furthermore, with the status of a master and the support of strong men in the late stage of Qi training, there is a good chance that he will really have a chance to compete with Foundation Establishment.
"However, the two foundations that have been slaughtered in Huofang now are both foundations promoted by high-grade spiritual roots, and they are not masters."
Zhuang Sheng continued to add.
"The real foundation building has not yet risked its life."
Gu Dan nodded slightly, understanding what Zhuang Sheng meant.
A pure-bred foundation builder, without spiritual energy, is still at the mercy of others. He is still a bigger fish in the pond, but after all, he is not a bird in the sky and cannot leave the Immortal Square.
People like Feng Qian, the leader of Huofang, even if they leave Huofang and return to the mortal world, they are still masters that everyone looks up to. They are already giants without the help of spiritual energy.
And because of foundation building, the upper limit of their lifespan has been increased by nearly a hundred years at least. They still have a bright future. Are they really willing to imitate those masters who are in the later stage of Qi training and risk their lives at will? I'm afraid it will be difficult.
After all, there is a proverb in the mortal world that says well: If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood.
The White Lotus Sect had implemented it very well in the past, but now it seems that a new choice has enveloped those foundations that were forced by the war.
"The current situation can be regarded as the separation of the five fairy houses. The original controllers of the five fairy houses still firmly controlled the prefecture-level areas. And those from the Mutual Aid Alliance have already occupied the interior of the fairy houses, including Huang most areas including level areas.
Looking at it now, the two sides have maintained a large degree of restraint, and they have not committed a life-and-death fight at the slightest disagreement. "
Zhuang Sheng sighed: "It's just that this situation, I don't know how long it can last."
"It shouldn't take long."
Gu Dan speculated.
Those who build foundations are not afraid of delay. As long as they are still in the prefecture-level area, they will become stronger every day.
And those who are still in the yellow level area in the later stage of Qi training, will they have the opportunity to be promoted to foundation building?
Even if you really get promoted, why bother staying in the Masonic Alliance?
I haven’t seen any immortal workshop that refuses to give a place to a foundation-building monk!
To put it bluntly, the real trigger of this war was because of the incident in the cave. But to understand the real reason, it is nothing more than those late-stage Qi practitioners who are masters who want to survive in death and earn themselves a chance to continue to the world. opportunities ahead.
No matter where the opportunity is, as long as you can get it and fulfill yourself, the idea of working together in the same boat will probably fall on deaf ears.
Gu Dan even had reason to suspect that someone in the Five Immortal Workshops was already doing this. After all, differentiation has been done in extremely mature ways throughout the ages.
It will not be difficult to deal with this matter as long as the Freemasonry Alliance is alienated from others, the foundation is used to give a strong shock, and finally the magnanimous declaration is made that except for a few culprits, the rest will be forgotten.
Taking a closer look at history, this kind of thing has happened too many times, and this time it just happened on the Buzhou Mountains. There is no reason that the word "immortal way" can make it different.
But they probably missed one thing.
Ningfang, you still stay out of it!
The only and biggest spoiler in this matter is closing his eyes and taking a nap, watching with eager eyes!
Gu Dan didn't believe that Ningfang had no preparations or back-ups.
This strange force is very likely to determine the life and death of a workshop, and then completely ignite several fairy workshops. Once the spiritual energy sources are fused once, it means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter. No one does not want to make the final decision. No one who is a winner wants their family fortune to become a stepping stone for others.
"This incident has stolen Brother Kong's limelight."
Seemingly seeing that the atmosphere was too dull, Zhuang Sheng joked.
"Ha, you don't want this kind of limelight."
Gu Dan shook his head gently, not taking it seriously.
No wonder no one finally blocked the road and waited in front of his cave. At this time, the inner breath technique that would take at least seventy years to be effective was too far away.
And war is imminent.
People in Ningfang, who are already agitated and have stayed away from the incident for the time being, are not monolithic. If a war breaks out, who can guarantee that they will live for seventy years?
His 'hotness' was poured cold water on him because of the news of the war.
"The news of the war was leaked?"
However, Gu Dan understood Zhuang Sheng's voiceover.
When Ningfang is locked up in seclusion, ordinary monks cannot get out at all, not even the people from the Law Enforcement Hall.
The people who can spy on the outside world are most likely Ningfang's own foundation-building monks.
Tell them it's normal and let the whole Ningfang 'leak out the news', fearing that they have other plans.
"indeed."
Zhuang Sheng nodded and said with a complicated expression: "Nowadays, artificial spiritual stones are selling well."
".adding fuel to the fire."
Gu Dan said quietly.
He had seen the monks who absorbed artificial spirit stones for the first time in Ning Yuan, and the effect was indeed extraordinary.
Absorbing artificial spiritual stones in a very short time and improving one's own cultivation is undoubtedly the fastest way to increase one's combat power.
But the price is also heavy. From now on, the path will be cut off. Let alone building the foundation, it is hard to say whether it can reach the later stage of Qi training!
If you use it a lot, staying alive is considered a success.
"Among this, there is also a share of 'contribution' from fellow Daoist Kong."
Zhuang Sheng spoke with a strong accent on the word "merit".
"Huh?! What does this have to do with me?"
Gu Dan was stunned.
"Those people at Lingzhen Hall said that your inner breath technique has the effect of recuperating the body and mind, and can also cultivate elixirs. Such realm-breaking elixirs as the three-leaf spirit vein flower can help people cleanse their spiritual energy. In other words, even if After absorbing the artificial spiritual stone, there is no regret."
Zhuang Sheng said.
Gu Dan: "."
Those bastards from Lingzhentang deserve to die!
He was just trying to find a magic medicine, but he was pulled out to serve as a banner five times.
Even if they are plotting and taking advantage of each other, there is no need to catch one person and consume continuously, right?
Besides, the inner breath technique is closely related to the immortal way. The 50,000-year-old Green Wood Metamorphosis Technique finally blossomed in the immortal way. The ordinary inner breath technique, even after two thousand years of practice, has nothing to do with the immortal way.
Trying to use inner breath techniques to recuperate scattered spiritual energy is no different from an idiot talking about dreams.
Even Aoki liquid can't cure it.
Unless you give up all your cultivation and waste your Qi in your Dantian, as long as the disease is still there, is there any way to cure it?
What Lingzhentang did was equivalent to using his deeds to severely punish the lower-level monks.
He was erected as an example for lower-level monks, telling them that even if they absorb artificial spiritual stones, as long as the inner breath technique is effective, it may not be impossible to make up for it.
But Gu Dan naturally understood that that was impossible.
But the three-leaf spiritual vein flower does have the ability to cleanse spiritual energy. This is something Gu Dan has personally experimented with and cannot deny it.
Theoretically speaking, those monks who have absorbed artificial spiritual stones do still have hope to use spiritual objects to heal their already weak foundation.
But how many lucky people can there be?
The three-leaf spiritual vein flower is not a bad herb on the street, that thing is one of the main medicines of the Foundation Establishment Pill!
If you want to use this level of spiritual treasure to make up for yourself, it is better to think about how to cultivate to the late stage of Qi training, and then find the foundation building pill, otherwise how can you call it a painted cake!
"Lingzhentang, you've gone too far to deceive others."
Gu Dan frowned, extremely dissatisfied.
