Chapter 478: Troop distribution, choosing land to open a sect

"Thank you!"

"Hmm?"

Luo Chen was stunned, not knowing what the other party meant.

However, the other party didn't let him rack his brains to guess.

Lin Qingxuan said calmly: "Thank you for waking up my Uncle Pang."

Luo Chen hesitated, "Elder Pang Renxiong?"

"Yes."

Lin Qingxuan nodded and talked about the past.

It turned out that years ago, Pang Renxiong was killed, and relying on the state of mind of sword-heart communication, he swallowed the remaining essence of the three great ghost kings and turned to ghost cultivation.

In just a few years, he broke through to the Tier 3 Ghost King realm.

But this speed also had its drawbacks.

After ascending to the Ghost King realm, because of the resentment before death, as well as the residual will of the three great ghost kings, his mind was confused, and his thoughts were chaotic.

If he were left like this, sooner or later he would become a chaotic and confused ghost.

It was Luo Chen!

In the Dahe Ghost City, he took out the other party's token from before death and even shouted "Master."

Only then, at the critical moment, did he call back the memories in the depths of the other party's soul.

For so many years afterwards, the reason why the Dahe Ghost Domain didn't continue to expand, but was only bound to that area of the Dahe Workshop.

It was also because Pang Renxiong had recovered his sanity and deliberately restrained the spread of the ghost domain.

"Without your reminder, my Uncle Pang would inevitably have sunk into the evil path of ghosts and spirits, and would never be able to step onto the orthodox path again."

Lin Qingxuan sighed, with a bit of gratitude in his eyes.

"Uncle Pang is upright, but he is very good to us juniors, and he has also been a great help to me."

"Since you have grace for him, I should thank you personally."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

Pang Renxiong liked to help juniors; this was really not putting gold on his face, but a genuine character.

Years ago, the other party was extremely generous, casually rewarding Miao Wen, Luo Tianhong, and others with the Heavenly Moon Purple Gold Wheel and the Rotten Wood Black and White Chess.

After learning of Luo Chen's alchemy talent.

He also recruited him without hesitation, took him into his sect, and even planned to take him back to the Yuding Sword Sect.

Luo Chen had also prepared to say goodbye to his friends and go with him back then.

If it weren't for that great battle later... Luo Chen would probably be a disciple on the roster of the Nascent Soul upper sect now.

With Pang Renxiong's protective character, plus Luo Chen's efforts, he would at least be a Foundation Establishment true disciple!

Of course.

Luo Chen had never regretted not going to the Yuding Sword Sect; the future was unclear back then, and who knew if he could cultivate safely if he went to the Sword Sect.

Most importantly!

He wasn't doing too badly now!

Suddenly.

Luo Chen woke up and asked: "Where did you learn about this secret matter, Fellow Daoist?"

Lin Qingxuan smiled slightly, revealing white teeth.

"Of course, Uncle Pang told us personally after returning to the sect. He mentioned you, and after we told him about your situation, Uncle Pang himself was also very sighing."

Has Pang Renxiong returned to the sect?

Luo Chen nodded and looked around.

"Didn't he come for this opening war?"

"He didn't; he still needs to be in seclusion for a while to stabilize his realm. Besides... heh, how could he possibly come for the Luo Yun Sect's opening war." Lin Qingxuan sneered.

Luo Chen soon thought of the hatred between the two sects.

Don't look at them joining hands now.

But the grievances and hatreds in between were just temporarily suppressed.

And!

Luo Chen became interested and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, years ago in the Dahe Workshop battle, that... mysterious black-robed person, performed a means of sword and cauldron ringing together, I don't know..."

Lin Qingxuan's face turned cold.

However, he didn't get angry.

Instead, he said very peacefully: "That means is my Sword Sect's unique skill. In the entire sect, only the ancestor and the previous generation's Daoist child know it."

The previous generation's Daoist child of the Yuding Sword Sect?

A person's name floated into Luo Chen's mind.

Ren Pingsheng!

An existence once hailed as the number one Golden Core in the Yuding Domain.

Unlike the Golden Core major sects' Daoist children, most of whom were only at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The Sword Sect's Daoist children were selected from Golden Core stage cultivators.

That Ren Pingsheng could have such a big reputation, his realm had already reached the late Golden Core stage, and he was a sword cultivator himself.

In this one-third of an acre of the Yuding Domain, he was indeed worthy of being called number one.

"But, why..."

"You want to say why Linghu Jie of the Luo Yun Sect would perform sword and cauldron ringing together, right?"

"Hmm."

Lin Qingxuan sighed and said gloomily, "Qi Qi Shixiong Ren Pingsheng is already dead; his corpse was refined into a puppet by Han Zhan of the Luoyun Sect... that person. Back then, Linghu Jie only borrowed that puppet to deal with Senior Uncle Pang. That is why you saw that scene: using the methods of our Sword Sect to kill a Golden Core of our Sword Sect."

Lin Qingxuan sighed and said quietly: "Ren Pingsheng senior brother is already dead, and his corpse was refined into a puppet by that... Han Zhan of the Luo Yun Sect. Back then, Linghu Jie just borrowed that puppet to deal with Uncle Pang. Therefore, you saw that scene, using my Sword Sect's means to kill my Sword Sect's Golden Core."

Speaking of this, Lin Qingxuan rarely showed anger on his face.

"Ren senior brother was the heaven's pride of my sect who had the most possibility of cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage back then, but he fell at the hands of Han Zhan; we will not forget this hatred."

Luo Chen listened from the side without saying a word.

He had a decent relationship with the Luo Yun Sect, and he couldn't speak ill of people behind their backs.

Besides.

Saying there was a great hatred, didn't the two Nascent Soul upper sects join hands now?

In the face of the huge benefits of the opening war, some grievances were simply not worth mentioning.

If he were to fan the flames in the middle, that would really be playing with fire.

While his thoughts were wandering, Luo Chen took the opportunity to think of more.

At the Great Snow Mountain, he saw that True Person Han Zhan summon five Golden Core stage puppets and perform a sword array.

The power was extraordinary, and even when fighting against the White Bone Mysterious Snake, it didn't fall behind.

Thinking about it now, one of the puppets did indeed look very much like Pang Renxiong before he died.

If he thought this way, then the hatred between the two sects was not just a little, but very, very big!

A sect's heaven's pride, refined into a puppet, and they were still willing to join hands?

"This battle, although my Sword Sect participated, actually only I participated!"

"I want to use this battle to regain my Sword Sect's reputation, and even more, after settling the Xiaoyue, take back the remains of my sect's four seniors from that person's hands."

Lin Qingxuan said firmly.

All over his body, a sharp momentum was soul-stirring.

This was borrowing the war to hone his sword!

Luo Chen understood the other party's thoughts.

There were quite a few people like this, mainly within the several Nascent Soul upper sects.

Doing business was the main thing, and by the way, they would also send some disciples with good aptitude to come out and practice, so as not to close the door and build a car, talking on paper.

"Sorry, the topic drifted." Lin Qingxuan retracted his momentum, became peaceful again, and smiled apologetically at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen showed a smile, "It's okay, after all, I was the one who asked."

Lin Qingxuan nodded, "Actually, I mainly wanted to ask about another matter."

"Go ahead!" Luo Chen waited for the following.

"Any interest in joining my Yuding Sword Sect?"

An old topic.

Luo Chen refused without too much hesitation.

Starting a business himself might be more difficult, but he had independence.

But once he joined, many things would be out of his control.

Even existences like Ren Pingsheng and Pang Renxiong would be plotted against.

Not to mention his current realm and status; as long as he didn't make big mistakes and didn't offend people he shouldn't offend, he would always be able to make it out!

Most importantly!

He had already signed a talisman contract with Di Wuqi and others, and it was impossible to quit halfway.

Luo Chen's refusal didn't seem to exceed Lin Qingxuan's expectations; his expression didn't change much.

He shook his head, "Not asking you to join my sect, but in the form of a guest elder."

"In the form of a guest elder?" Luo Chen became interested.

Lin Qingxuan said "Hmm" and continued: "Just like your cooperative relationship with the Bingbao, or like you and the Green Pill Valley. My sect will not form a so-called appendage relationship with you; you still do whatever you want."

Luo Chen was puzzled, "Then what are you seeking?"

Lin Qingxuan smiled slightly, "Naturally, it's valuing your alchemy technique."

Once the words were spoken, there were not so many twists and turns.

The Yuding Sword Sect was simply looking at Luo Chen's alchemy technique and had high expectations for him.

They planned to conduct long-term cooperation with him after the opening war ended.

Even, they were willing to provide corresponding pill formulas for Luo Chen to learn and refine.

The reason the conditions were so loose.

Was also related to the Sword Sect's scarcity of alchemists.

Their entire sect only had one Tier 3 alchemist who could be brought out.

If Luo Chen joined, the cultivation resources of the Sword Sect's Golden Core cultivators in the future would no longer be subject to the Medicine King Sect.

"I need to consider it again." Luo Chen said.

"No rush, there will be a long time to come." Lin Qingxuan smiled, and finally added, "If you decide, hold the token my Uncle Pang gave you back then and go directly to Yuhuang Mountain."

"Hmm."

By the time they chatted to this point, there were no common topics to continue.

The two returned to the hall.

And at this time, the atmosphere was already completely different.

Luo Chen returned to Fei Ming and Jueqing's side, sat down peacefully, and his gaze fell on the main seat of the hall.

"Who is that?"

"Second Elder of the Luo Yun Sect, Cheng Yan!" Fei Ming replied.

Hearing this answer, the intelligence about Cheng Yan surged from his memory instantly.

Cheng Yan was a very famous Golden Core True Person of the Luo Yun Sect.

At the Golden Core Level 9 realm, he had stood in the cultivation world for five hundred years without falling!

His age was even greater than True Person Han Zhan of the Luo Yun Sect, and he was even the senior brother of True Person Han Zhan.

However, the other party took a step first and formed the Nascent Soul earlier.

Over the years, the size of the Luo Yun Sect's affairs was basically handled by this Second Elder, who was of great age and had no chance of forming a Nascent Soul.

Including the opening war!

At this moment.

Everyone stopped talking, and their gazes fell on Cheng Yan.

The other party didn't show any panic at all and waved his hand calmly.

The next moment, twenty-six jade slips flew to each table.

Luo Chen's heart moved, he pinched the jade slip, and his spiritual sense probed in.

"Map?"

"No, troop distribution map!"

He raised his head abruptly and looked at the old man.

There were others who had the same action.

Under everyone's gaze, Cheng Yan spoke slowly: "As you can see, this is the troop distribution map of the Xiaoyue Wolf Clan. Although it is not absolutely accurate, most of it can be guaranteed."

"During the time of building the Broken Moon Xiancheng, my Luo Yun Sect didn't do nothing."

"The disciples under the sect used puppet arts and paid a huge price to gradually figure out 80% of the distribution of the demon clan in the Xiaoyue Mountain Range."

"This battle next!"

"My Luo Yun Sect doesn't want to drag it out for too long; we should sweep through Xiaoyue with the momentum of thunder and open up the foundation of our human race."

Once these words came out, everyone was surprised and happy.

They all thought that the Luo Yun Sect building the Broken Moon Xiancheng was to plan slowly.

Now it seemed that the other party had changed their usual state and wanted to take it down quickly.

This indeed exceeded many people's expectations.

Including the Tianfan City!

"Fellow Daoists, the map has already been given to you. It contains both the distribution of the demon clan's troops and the corresponding grade descriptions of the spiritual land."

"In the next month, you should consider carefully and report to my Luo Yun Sect where you want to attack."

"One month later, the whole army will attack!"

After speaking, Cheng Yan didn't stay at all and left the hall directly.

Another Golden Core cultivator of the Luo Yun Sect stepped forward, announcing that the exchange meeting would continue, and sent sect disciples to serve spiritual wine and immortal fruits.

It was just that.

In the face of such news, who still had the heart to eat and drink?

A group of Golden Core True Persons who looked high and mighty from the outside world were now discussing, arguing as if they were in a vegetable market.

On Luo Chen's side, Fei Ming on the left was reading the jade slip with great interest, while Fairy Jueqing on the right remained unmoved.

They were different; Ailao Mountain's participation in the opening war this time was not to move the sect, but just to do some business.

Not many people came.

The Bingbao was the same, or rather, their focus was still on the Great Snow Mountain side.

Only Luo Chen, his spiritual sense immersed in the jade slip, couldn't pull himself out for a long time.

Xiaoyue Mountain Range, the spiritual land explored, was countless in size.

There was one place with a Tier 4 spiritual vein.

Don't even think about this; it was absolutely the target of the Luo Yun Sect!

Next, it was the Tier 3 spiritual vein land that most Golden Core major sects participating in the war wanted.

"There are seventeen places in total."

"There are only five places that are truly suitable for large sects to inhabit. The rest are small Tier 3 spiritual veins that are only suitable for two or three Golden Cores to cultivate together."

"Deducting the Bingbao, Ailao Mountain, Pearl Returning Tower, and some other Golden Core sects whose ambition is not in the spiritual land of the Xiaoyue Mountain Range, that is to say, there are thirteen major sects in total competing for these five spiritual veins."

"Too many monks and too little porridge!"

Luo Chen sighed.

He had anticipated this situation, just like the Yuding Domain before, which only had seven sects; the territory occupied by the Hundred Flowers Palace and Ailao Mountain didn't have a very large spiritual vein scale either.

In other words, there were only five places.

Oh!

The Bingbao's wasn't big either, and the upper limit could only accommodate nine Golden Core True Persons to cultivate, and most of the time they had to take turns.

They couldn't achieve one person per dwelling.

But Luo Chen didn't anticipate that the Xiaoyue Mountain Range was so much larger than the Yuding Domain, and there were only six places with spiritual land on a scale.

Deducting the Tier 4 spiritual land designated by the Luo Yun Sect, thirteen sects divided five...

Luo Chen had a headache.

His Luo Tian Alliance's strength was not very strong, and the highest realm in the alliance was only Di Wuqi, who was at Golden Core Level 3.

With such a lineup, how could they compete with others?

He raised his head and happened to see Fei Ming staring at the Tianfan City side, where Grandmaster Huyan Zhuo's face was gloomy, and his whole body was exuding a cold air that kept strangers away.

"What's wrong with this?" Luo Chen was puzzled.

Fei Ming transmitted sound quietly, "What else could it be? If the opening war ends very quickly, how can their Tianfan City still earn benefits? Tsk tsk, I don't know what the Luo Yun Sect is thinking, suddenly changing their mind."

Luo Chen frowned.

He couldn't figure it out, and was too lazy to think about it; he was already in trouble on his side.

"One month, I'll go back and discuss with them first to see how to make trade-offs!"

This exchange meeting, it was estimated that it couldn't continue either.

Luo Chen greeted Fei Ming and Jueqing and stood up to leave directly.

When going out, he happened to see Huyan Zhuo being invited by that Golden Core True Person of the Luo Yun Sect into another side hall.

After returning to the cave dwelling, Luo Chen immediately sent out a sound transmission talisman.

Soon, Di Wuqi and the others appeared in his cave dwelling.

"Take a look!"

Luo Chen didn't talk nonsense and gave them the jade slip directly.

By the way, he also told them the decision of the Luo Yun Sect at the exchange meeting before.

After the few finished reading, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

"What should we do?"

"Do we want to compete with others?"

"How to compete? Those sects that moved their whole sect either have late-stage Golden Core great cultivators sitting in town, or they have seven or eight Golden Core True Persons, and their strength is strong. What about us? Only five people."

"I wanted to show off my skills, but now it seems that my strength is still not enough!"

"How about we change to attack a small Tier 3 spiritual vein?"

"Didn't you see the annotation on it? The largest small Tier 3 spiritual vein can only supply three Golden Core True Persons to cultivate at the same time. We have five; how do we split it when the time comes?"

"Isn't there still the Broken Moon Xiancheng cave dwelling?"

"This cave dwelling only has a one-hundred-year usage permit."

"After a hundred years, Fellow Daoist Cen will be almost..."

"No matter, I only have about a hundred years of lifespan left. However, it is indeed necessary to consider the future; after all, we are not one person, and there are families and sects. Among the juniors below, who knows if one or two Golden Core cultivators can be cultivated in the future."

"Yes, we must plan for the long term!"

Amidst the arguing and discussion, there was no result in the end.

Luo Chen waved his hand irritably.

"Let's see, there is still one month."

Fu Jiusheng echoed: "Indeed, the time for us to make a decision is still very long. And it's not to say that all sects can survive. In past opening wars, there were many losses. Those who survive to the end can laugh to the end; maybe we can pick up a leak."

What he said was very reasonable.

But not many people really took it to heart.

The scale of human cultivators used in this opening war far exceeded any previous session.

Simply put, the advantage is with us!

Under such a great advantage, it was almost a momentum of flat pushing, so where would there be any big losses.

Building an immortal city, dividing attack targets, dividing meat in advance, and some people even had their minds on the Great Snow Mountain and the Ancient Plain Mountain Range.

Various kinds of things, in everyone's view, the Xiaoyue Mountain Range was already a cooked duck.

Who wouldn't want to eat a piece of duck leg?

After everyone took a rubbing of the jade slip and left, the cave dwelling suddenly became quiet.

Unknowingly, the time had already reached late at night.

Luo Chen suppressed the irritation in his heart, adjusted his state, and began to consume pills for cultivation.

As for attacking the demon clan and choosing land to open a sect, he planned to inquire more in the coming month and understand the thoughts and attitudes of other forces first.

And, if the Yunhe Daoist couple really wanted to attack the Great Snow Mountain.

Maybe it would divert a part of the forces there.

The situation was not as bad as he imagined!

The next day.

Before Luo Chen set off to find friends to understand the situation, someone took the initiative to come to the door.

"Fellow Daoist Meng!"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up.

Meng Changshou stood at the door with a smile, "You look like you are about to go out; it seems I didn't come at the right time!"

Luo Chen laughed heartily, "No, you came at just the right time."

Inquiring about intelligence from others, how could it be as fast and accurate as using Meng Changshou's connections?

The other party was famous, and there were plenty of people to make friends with.

If he could get on good terms with him and ask a little, perhaps he could understand others' movements.

As for how to get on good terms?

This was very simple; just cater to his preferences.

"Speaking of which, Luo recently encountered some trouble in alchemy; why don't you enter the cave dwelling, Fellow Daoist, and give me some pointers?"

Meng Changshou laughed, "I don't dare to give pointers; let's just discuss with each other and make progress together."

After speaking, stroking his beard, he entered the cave dwelling gracefully under Luo Chen's invitation.
