The three of them also discussed the subsequent development of Zhenling Pavilion and how to use the huge funds earned to develop the sect.

Purchasing materials to refine magic weapons, and purchasing demon pills to refine foundation-building pills are things that I have been doing all the time.

The sect has a new source of funds, and with cheap and stable demon pills, the cost of refining foundation-building pills has also been reduced a lot, and the quantity is also endless.

However, Foundation Establishment Pill is still an expensive pill, and it is extremely precious in Tiannan. It is monopolized by major forces, and the quantity released must be controlled.

Jiang Yun returned to the sect not long ago, bringing demon elixir materials and all the high-level spirit-feeding pills in the sect. At the same time, he also learned about the latest situation in the sect.

There is good news and bad news.

Seemingly seeing Jiang Yun's serious expression and seeming to be thinking about something, Lan Junyan and Qing Yuan looked at each other and then put down their teacups and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, what's bothering you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun shook his head slightly and replied: "It's nothing. The sect has hoarded thousands of foundation-building pills and many magic weapons, but something happened."

"Although Master Hao has controlled the number of Foundation Establishment Pills, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills distributed by the sect in recent years has only been 50% more than before, but it still attracted the attention of the other six sects."

Jiang Yun recounted the news he got during his return.

In recent years, due to the reduction in the production of Foundation Establishment Pills, the Six Sects had no choice but to reduce the number of Foundation Establishment Pills issued by 30 to 40%.

This is the case within the sect, and the Immortal Cultivation Family has no control over it.

Neutral families are no longer able to buy foundation-building pills from their sects. In the future, they can only wait to die or move out of Yue to look for opportunities in other countries.

The number of foundation-building pills that the affiliated families of the sect are allowed to purchase has also been cut by 70%, which has a huge impact.

The amount of foundation-building pills basically determines the number of monks in a sect's foundation-building period.

In the past few years, Spirit Beast Mountain has been prospering. Every year, more than a dozen monks break through to the foundation building stage, which is already a lot.

The remaining six sects are much less than before. Even the strongest Hidden Moon Sect only produces five or six foundation-building monks every year, and the remaining five sects are even pitifully small.

Due to the ebb and flow, this difference in quantity makes Spirit Beast Mountain very conspicuous.

Although Spirit Beast Mountain claimed to the six sects that as a beast-controlling sect, it had a large inventory of demon pills over the past countless years, which temporarily stabilized the other six sects.

However, the doubts of the remaining six factions have not been completely dispelled. Many forces are already inquiring about the news.

After the last war with the devil, the monks of the Yue Kingdom suffered heavy casualties. Now the total number of foundation-building monks of the entire seven sects is only over a thousand, and there are several hundred monks in the family.

You must know that monks in the foundation building stage are already the middle force of a sect.

If there is such a big gap for a long time, the other six factions will not be able to sit still.

After hearing Jiang Yun's words, Lan Junyan and Qing Yuan fell silent.

Lan Junyan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment and said: "There are quite a few marriages between the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom. There are many female cultivators from the six sects in the sect. It is indeed not difficult to send people to find out the news.

"

"But regarding the Chaos Star Sea, only Master Hao and a few elders in the sect know about it. The other people who were selected to come to the Chaos Star Sea were not informed of the matter until just before departure. Moreover, the life and death curses cast by everyone must not be leaked."

"According to Junior Brother's previous proposal, some senior weapon refiners and senior alchemists were sent to Uncle Hong's secret realm to specialize in refining foundation-building pills and magic weapons. They are not allowed to leave for a hundred years."

"The demon beast materials and demon pills brought by junior brother are also sent directly to the secret realm."

"Uncle Hao personally controls the access to the secret realm. There is absolutely no problem with confidentiality. No matter how much they ask or check inside the door, it will be useless."

Jiang Yun sighed and said in a deep voice: "Last time I went back, I proposed to Uncle Hao that all the refined magical weapons are not allowed to flow out and are kept as inventory."

"Some sharp-eyed weapon refiners can tell the type of material from the finished magic weapon. I don't want to cause any further complications."

"We also need to find a way to deal with the issue of the quantity of Foundation Establishment Pills. We can still use the inventory of demon pills to deal with it these years, but what about twenty years from now or fifty years from now?"

"The Foundation Establishment Pill cannot be kept and used after being refined. This is not good for the development of the sect."

"Oh, it's really frustrating. It would be great if our Spirit Beast Mountain had its own country, even if it was a small country. It would be better than being stared at by six poor neighbors every day and holding back."

Although Jiang Yun's words were a bit arrogant and he compared the six factions to poor neighbors, it seemed from the expressions of Lan Junyan and Qing Yuan that they agreed.

Obviously, due to the chaos in the sea of ​​stars, the sect's fortune this time was a bit off.

However, all three of them had a look of helplessness in their eyes.

The seven factions can certainly share the same hatred when facing foreign enemies, because if they lose, they will be gone, but they are also trying to contain each other internally, and no one wants one of them to dominate.

In the final analysis, Spirit Beast Mountain is not strong enough. Even if it gets rich, it cannot reveal its wealth.

Jiang Yun had previously considered relocating the entire sect to Chaos Star Sea, but quickly gave up.

The main reason is relocation costs.

The ancient teleportation array requires nearly ten thousand spirit stones to teleport once, and it can only teleport a dozen people at a time. So how many spirit stones do thousands of people in Spirit Beast Mountain need?

Selling the Qi-training disciples is not worth the transmission fee.

It is impossible for Jiang Yun to pay for the sect himself.

Second is the population issue.

The sources of disciples of the Xiuxian sect can be roughly divided into four types.

They are the descendants of the monks from the sect, the children of the cultivating family, the casual cultivators recruited, and the young children whose spiritual roots the sect sent to the secular world to test.

If a sect wants to develop healthily, the number of the latter two must account for the majority, otherwise big problems will arise within the sect once there is an imbalance.

The most favorite disciple of the sect leader is the fourth type.

These young children from the ordinary world have no background and do not have to worry about forming cliques. They are not like the children of the family who are confused about whether they are loyal to the family or the sect. They are not like the unscrupulous cultivators who have set values ​​and are not slippery.

The most important thing is that he was trained by the sect since he was a child and is very loyal to the sect.

The source of this fourth type of disciple is the common world.

Although the Chaos Star Sea is vast and prosperous in trade, it is suitable for making money, and because it faces the threat of natural disasters and monsters, the people have simple customs and are good at fighting. However, the number of mortals is far less than that of Tiannan.

On the one hand, there are differences between mainland farming civilization and ocean island civilization.

On the other hand, it is caused by natural disasters, such as strong winds coming from the sea. If mortals do not hide in the formation, they will be dead.

It is not as simple as finding an island, moving a few hundred people there, and then harvesting tens of thousands of people after a hundred years. Developing a new island requires investment, and just maintaining the formation also requires a lot of spiritual stones.

The mortals in the outer sea are even worse. If the monks are defeated when the beasts attack, the monks may be able to escape, and the mortals will become the food of the monsters in the sea.

The situation is different among the countries in Tiannan. No matter how they fight, no sect will specifically massacre mortals. Mortals will grow very quickly like leeks.

Even within a few decades, major factions had to control the country to launch secular wars to consume a little of the population.

Faced with the problem at hand, the three of them expressed their opinions and finally came up with a feasible solution.

First of all, Spirit Beast Mountain will also reduce the supply of foundation building pills to the same level as the Moon Covering Sect, so that the six sects will not be afraid and pay attention.

Spirit Beast Mountain began to secretly search for children with spiritual roots from the secular world on a large scale.

These children will not start as outer disciples like other disciples, but will be quietly sent directly to the secret realm to receive unified teachings from several knowledgeable elders and elite foundation-building disciples.

In short, it is to cultivate the sect's loyal and loyal soldiers.

No matter whether it is children or these foundation-building disciples, they will not be able to come out within a hundred years after entering.

The difference between these dead warriors and ordinary disciples is that they are familiar with group formations, have a tacit understanding of fighting skills, are loyal to the sect, and have strong discipline in their actions.

Ancestor Hong's secret realm is huge, and there are many monsters in it. Jiang Yun even threw hundreds of Wind Fire Wolf Qingfeng Beast into it, so he doesn't have to worry about these young children living a comfortable life and losing their ambition.

As long as you can achieve success in your studies and have enough foundation-building elixirs, foundation-building is guaranteed.

Although Spirit Beast Mountain has also trained such dead warriors in the past, the number was not large because the cost of training was too high and the sect had to bear all the expenses.

On the contrary, if free-range low-level disciples do their own tasks to earn cultivation resources, the sect will hardly need to spend much money, and those who are capable will naturally stand out in the small competition.

Only some large forces will cultivate dead soldiers on a large scale.

But now that Spirit Beast Mountain is rich, there are so many Foundation Establishment Pills that we dare not use them, so it doesn't matter if we are extravagant.

These dead warriors are also one of the sect’s heritage.

My child has a cold and the whole family is running around. I have really been out of writing mood for the past two days. I just suppressed it. Please forgive me.
