Chapter 478: Troop distribution, choosing a place to open a mountain

"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 after Pang Renxiong was killed, relying on the state of mind of the sword heart passing through, he swallowed the essence of the three great ghost kings and turned to ghost cultivation.

Within a few short 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 his death, as well as the residual will of the three great ghost kings, his mind was confused and his thoughts were chaotic.

If this continued, he would sooner or later become a chaotic and confused ghost.

It was Luo Chen!

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

Only then, at the critical moment, did he recall the memories deep in the other party's soul.

For so many years afterward, the reason why the Great River Ghost Domain did not continue to expand, but was only confined to the area of the Great River 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 on 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 likes to help juniors; this is not putting gold on his face, but a genuine character.

Back then, the other party was extremely generous, and he casually rewarded Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel and the Rotten Black and White Chess to Miao Wen, Luo Tianhong, and others.

After learning of Luo Chen's alchemy talent.

He also recruited him without hesitation and even intended to take him back to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

Luo Chen also prepared to say goodbye to his friends and go with him at that time.

If it weren't for that great battle... Luo Chen might have been a disciple listed in the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect by now.

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

Of course.

Luo Chen never regretted not going to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect; the road ahead was unclear at that time, and who knows if he could have cultivated safely in the Sword Sect.

Most importantly!

He was not doing too badly now!

Suddenly.

Luo Chen realized and asked: "Where did you learn about this secret?"

Lin Qingxuan smiled slightly, revealing white teeth.

"Of course, it was after Uncle Pang returned to the sect and told us personally. 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?"

"No, he still needs to be in seclusion for a while to stabilize his realm. Besides... *heh*, how could he come to the Falling Cloud Sect's opening war." Lin Qingxuan sneered.

Luo Chen quickly thought of the grievances between the two families.

Don't look at them joining hands now.

But the grievances and hatreds are just temporarily suppressed.

And!

Luo Chen became interested and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, in the battle of the Great River Workshop back then, that... mysterious black-robed man performed a move 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 move 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 Jade Cauldron Sword Sect?

A name appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

Ren Pingsheng!

An existence once hailed as the number one Core Formation cultivator in the Jade Cauldron Domain.

Unlike most Daoist children of major Core Formation sects who are only in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The selection range for the Sword Sect's Daoist child is among Core Formation cultivators.

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

In this one-acre-three-fen land of the Jade Cauldron Domain, he was indeed worthy of being number one in Core Formation.

"But, why..."

"You want to say why Linghu Jie of the Falling Cloud Sect can perform sword and cauldron ringing together, right?"

"Hmm."

Luo Chen just nodded, but reacted instantly; the other party already knew that the mysterious black-robed man who targeted Pang Renxiong at the Great River Workshop was Linghu Jie.

Lin Qingxuan sighed and said faintly: "Ren Pingsheng senior brother is already dead, and his body was refined into a puppet by the Falling Cloud Sect's Han Zhan... that one. Back then, Linghu Jie just borrowed that puppet to deal with Uncle Pang. So, you saw that scene, using my Sword Sect's means to kill my Sword Sect's Core Formation."

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

"Ren senior brother was the genius in my sect who was most likely to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, but he fell under Han Zhan's hands; we will not forget this hatred."

Luo Chen listened from the side and didn't talk.

His relationship with the Falling Cloud Sect was okay, and he couldn't speak ill of others behind their backs.

Moreover.

They said there was a great hatred, but aren't the two Nascent Soul sects joining hands now?

In the face of the huge benefits of the opening war, a little grievance counts for nothing at all.

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

Between the divergence of thoughts, Luo Chen thought of more.

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

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

Thinking about it now, one of the puppets did look like Pang Renxiong before his death.

If so, were there Ren Pingsheng among the other four puppets?

If you think so, then the grievances between the two families are not a little, but very, very big!

A sect genius, refined into a puppet, and they are still willing to join hands?

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

"I want to take back my Sword Sect's reputation through this battle, and after setting 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 aura was breathtaking.

This is borrowing the war to sharpen the sword!

Luo Chen understood the other party's thoughts.

There are quite a few such people, mainly in the several major Nascent Soul sects.

Doing business is the main thing, and they will also send some disciples with good aptitude to practice, so as not to close the door and build a car, talking on paper.

"Sorry, the topic went far." Lin Qingxuan retracted his aura, 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 another thing."

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

"Are you interested in joining my Jade Cauldron Sword Sect?"

A cliché topic.

Luo Chen refused without too much hesitation.

Starting a business on his own might be difficult, but he had independence.

But once he joined, many things would not be up to him.

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

Not to mention his current realm and status, as long as he doesn't make big mistakes and doesn't offend people he shouldn't offend, he can always make it out.

Most importantly!

He had already signed a talisman alliance with Diwu Qi 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, "It's not to let you 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 Ice Fortress, and like your relationship with the Green Elixir Valley. My sect will not form a so-called vassal relationship with you; you can still do whatever you want."

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

Lin Qingxuan smiled slightly, "Naturally, it's because we value your alchemy."

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

The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect simply took a fancy to Luo Chen's alchemy and had high expectations for him.

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

They were even willing to provide corresponding pill formulas for Luo Chen to learn and refine.

The reason why the conditions were so loose.

It 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 Core Formation cultivators would no longer be subject to the Medicine King Sect.

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

"No rush, there is plenty of time." Lin Qingxuan smiled and added a sentence at the end, "If you decide, take 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 was no common topic to continue.

The two returned to the hall.

And at this time, the atmosphere was completely different.

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

"Who is that?"

"The second elder of the Falling Cloud Sect, Cheng Yan!" Fei Ming replied.

Hearing this answer, information about Cheng Yan instantly emerged from his memory.

Cheng Yan is a very famous Core Formation master of the Falling Cloud Sect.

The realm of the ninth tier of Core Formation, standing in the cultivation world for five hundred years without falling!

He was older than True Person Han Zhan of the Falling Cloud Sect, and even said to be True Person Han Zhan's senior brother.

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

Over the years, the affairs of the Falling Cloud Sect were basically handled by this second elder, who was old and had no chance of forming a Nascent Soul.

Including the opening war!

At this moment.

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

The other party didn't show any panic 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 probed his spiritual sense into it.

"Map?"

"No, troop distribution map!"

He looked up suddenly and looked at the old man.

Like him, there were others.

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 Broken Moon Immortal City, our Falling Cloud Sect didn't do nothing."

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

"Next battle!"

"Our Falling Cloud Sect doesn't want to drag it out for too long; we should sweep Xiaoyue with the momentum of thunder and open up our human foundation."

As soon as this was said, everyone was surprised and happy.

They all thought that the Falling Cloud Sect building Broken Moon Immortal City was to plan slowly.

Now it seems that the other party has changed its usual state and wants to take it down quickly.

This indeed exceeded many people's expectations.

Including Tianfan City!

"Fellow Daoists, the map has been given to you. It contains both the demon clan's troop distribution and the corresponding Tier explanation of the spiritual land."

"For the next month, consider carefully and report to our Falling Cloud 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 Core Formation cultivator of the Falling Cloud Sect stepped forward to announce that the exchange meeting would continue and sent sect disciples to offer spiritual wine and immortal fruits.

It's just.

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

A group of Core Formation masters who looked high and mighty from the outside world, not eating human fireworks, were now discussing, arguing as if it were a vegetable market.

On Luo Chen's side, Fei Ming on the left was looking at the jade slip with relish, and the Heartless Fairy on the right was 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 Ice Fortress 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 extricate himself for a long time.

Xiaoyue Mountain Range, the explored spiritual lands, large and small, are countless.

Mainly there is one place with a Tier 4 spiritual vein.

Don't even think about this; it is definitely the target of the Falling Cloud Sect!

Next, it is the Tier 3 spiritual vein land that most of the Core Formation sects participating in the war want.

"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 Core Formation cultivators to cultivate together."

"Deducting the Ice Fortress, Ailao Mountain, Huanzhu Tower, and other Core Formation sects that are not interested in the spiritual land of the Xiaoyue Mountain Range, that is to say, there are thirteen major sects in total, fighting for these five spiritual veins."

"Too many monks and too little porridge!"

Luo Chen sighed.

He anticipated this situation, just like the Jade Cauldron Domain only had seven sects before, and the territory occupied by the Hundred Flowers Palace and Ailao Mountain, the scale of the spiritual veins was actually not very large.

In other words, there are only five places.

Oh!

The Ice Fortress's is not big either, the upper limit can only accommodate nine Core Formation masters to cultivate, and most of the time they have to take turns.

Can't do one person one mansion.

But Luo Chen didn't expect that the Xiaoyue Mountain Range is so much larger than the Jade Cauldron Domain, and there are only six spiritual lands on scale.

Deducting the Tier 4 spiritual land designated by the Falling Cloud Sect, thirteen sects divide five...

Luo Chen had a headache.

His Luo Tian Alliance's strength is not very strong, and the highest realm in the alliance is only Diwu Qi, who is at the third tier of Core Formation.

With such a lineup, how to compete with others?

He looked up and happened to see Fei Ming staring at Tianfan City, Master Huyan Zhuo's face was gloomy, and his whole body exuded a cold air that kept people away.

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

Fei Ming transmitted sound quietly, "What else, if the opening war ends quickly, how can their Tianfan City earn benefits? *Tsk tsk*, I don't know what the Falling Cloud Sect is thinking, suddenly changing its mind."

Luo Chen frowned.

Can't figure it out, and too lazy to think about it; he was in trouble here too.

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

This exchange meeting, it is estimated that it can't go on.

Luo Chen greeted Fei Ming and Heartless and got up and left directly.

When he went out, he happened to see Huyan Zhuo invited by the Core Formation master of the Falling Cloud Sect and entered another side hall.

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

Soon, Diwu Qi and 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 about the decision of the Falling Cloud Sect at the exchange meeting before.

After reading it, several people couldn't help but look at each other.

"What should we do?"

"Are we going to fight with others?"

"How to fight this, those sects that moved the whole sect, either have late-stage Core Formation masters sitting in town, or seven or eight Core Formation masters, 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 attack a small Tier 3 spiritual vein?"

"Didn't you see the annotation above? The largest small Tier 3 spiritual vein can only supply three Core Formation masters to cultivate at the same time. We are five, how to divide it then?"

"Isn't there still this cave dwelling in Broken Moon Immortal City?"

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

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

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

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

In a noisy discussion, no result was reached in the end.

Luo Chen waved his hand irritably.

"Let's see, there is still a month left."

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

He said this, it makes sense.

But not many people really took it to heart.

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

Simply put, the advantage is with us!

Under such a big advantage, it is almost a push, how can there be any big losses.

Building an immortal city, dividing attack targets, dividing meat in advance, and some people even have ideas about the Great Snow Mountain and the Guyuan Mountain Range.

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

Who doesn't want to share a duck leg?

After everyone rubbed a jade slip and left, the cave dwelling quieted down.

Unknowingly, time had come to late at night.

Luo Chen suppressed the irritability in his heart, adjusted his state, and began to take pills to cultivate.

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

And, if the Cloud Crane couple really wants to attack the Great Snow Mountain.

Maybe it will divert part of the force there.

The situation is not as bad as imagined!

The next day.

Luo Chen hadn't set off to find friends to inquire about the situation, and someone came to the door on their own.

"Fellow Daoist Meng!"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up.

Meng Changshou stood at the door with a smile, "You look like you are going out, I don't seem to be here at the right time!"

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

Inquiring about information from others, how can it be as fast and accurate as inquiring with the help of Meng Changshou's connections?

The other party is famous, and there are many people who make friends.

If he gets on good terms with him and asks a little bit, maybe he can know the movements of others.

As for how to get on good terms?

This is very simple, just cater to his preferences.

"Speaking of which, I have encountered some trouble with alchemy recently, Fellow Daoist Meng, why don't you enter the cave dwelling and give me some pointers?"

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

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