I am a mortal, a disciple of Spirit Beast Mountain

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

Purchasing materials to refine magic tools, and purchasing demon pills to refine foundation building pills are things that have been done all the time.

The Zongmen has a new source of funds, and with the cheap and stable Yaodan, the cost of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill has also been reduced a lot, and the quantity is also constant.

But Foundation Establishment Pill is still an expensive pill, and it is even more precious in Tiannan. It is monopolized by major forces, and the amount released must be well controlled.

Jiang Yun went back to the sect not long ago, brought back the materials of the demon pill and the high-level feeding pills in the sect, and at the same time learned about the latest situation in the sect.

There is good news and bad news.

As if seeing Jiang Yun's serious face, as if he was thinking about something, Lan Junyan and Qing Yuan looked at each other, then put down their teacups and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, what's bothering you?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Yun shook his head slightly and replied: "It's nothing, the sect has hoarded thousands of Foundation Establishment Pills, and a lot of Magical Artifacts, but something happened."

"Although Master Hao has already controlled the number of Foundation Establishment Pills, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills issued by the sect in recent years has only increased by 50% compared to before, but it still attracted the attention of the other six sects."

Jiang Yun recounted the news he got back this time.

In the past few years, due to the reduction in the production of Foundation Establishment Pills, the six factions had no choice but to reduce the number of Foundation Establishment Pills issued by 30 to 40%.

What's more, in the sect, the Xiuxian family can't control it.

The neutral family is completely unable to buy Jidan from the sect. In the future, they can only wait for their demise or move out of Yue to find opportunities in other countries.

And the number of Foundation Establishment Pills allowed to be purchased by affiliated families of the sect was cut by 70%, which had a huge impact.

The number of Foundation Establishment Pills basically determines the number of monks in a sect's Foundation Establishment period.

In the past few years, the Spirit Beast Mountain has been thriving. 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 Moon Sect only produces five or six foundation-building monks every year, and the remaining five sects are even more pitiful.

Under the ebb and flow, this difference in numbers made Lingshou Mountain very conspicuous.

Although Lingshoushan claimed to the six sects that it has a lot of demon pills in stock over the past countless years as the sect of controlling beasts, it temporarily stabilized the other six sects.

However, the doubts of the other six factions have not been completely dispelled, and many forces are already inquiring about the news.

After the last battle with the Demon Dao, the monks of the Yue Kingdom suffered heavy casualties. Now the foundation-building monks of the entire seven sects add up to only a thousand or so, and there are hundreds of monks in the family.

You must know that the monks in the foundation period 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.

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, both Lan Junyan and Qing Yuan fell silent.

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

"However, only Master Hao and a few elders know about the Luan Xinghai. The other people who were selected to come to the Luan Xinghai were not informed of this matter until the moment before departure. Besides, everyone's life and death curses must not be leaked."

"According to my junior brother's previous proposal, some high-level craftsmen and high-level alchemists were sent to Master Hong's secret realm to refine Foundation Establishment Pills and Magical Artifacts. They are not allowed to leave for a hundred years."

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

"The entry and exit of the secret realm is under the personal control of Uncle Hao, so there is absolutely no problem with the secrecy. No matter how they ask or check inside the gate, it is useless."

Jiang Yun sighed, and said in a deep voice: "The last time I went back, I suggested to Uncle Hao that all the refined magic tools are not allowed to flow out, and they are all kept as stocks."

"Some sharp-eyed craftsmen can tell the type of material through the finished magic weapon. I don't want to make extra trouble."

"I have to figure out a way about the number of Foundation Establishment Pills. I can use the stock of demon pills to prevaricate these years, so what about twenty or fifty years from now?"

"Even if the Foundation Establishment Pill is refined, it can't be used anymore. It's not good for the development of the sect."

"Sigh, I'm really aggrieved. It would be great if we monopolize a country in Lingshou Mountain, even a small country. It's better than being stared at by six poor neighbors every day, shrinking our hands and feet."

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

Apparently because of the chaotic sea of ​​stars, the sect's fortune this time was a bit sloppy.

However, there was a hint of helplessness in the eyes of the three of them.

Of course, the seven factions can share the same hatred against foreign enemies, because if they lose, they will be gone, but they also check each other internally, and no one wants one of them to dominate.

In the final analysis, the strength of Lingshou Mountain is not strong enough, even if it gets rich, it cannot reveal its wealth.

Jiang Yun also considered moving the entire sect to Luan Xinghai before, but quickly gave up.

The main reason is relocation costs.

The ancient teleportation array costs nearly ten thousand spirit stones for one transmission, and only a dozen people can be transmitted each time, so how many spirit stones are needed for thousands of people in Lingshou Mountain?

It's not worth the transfer fee to sell a disciple in the Qi training period.

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

Second is the population issue.

The sources of disciples of the Cultivation of Immortals can be roughly divided into four types.

They are the descendants of the monks of the Zongmen, the children of the Xiuxian family, the casual cultivators recruited, and the young children of the spiritual roots that the sect sent people to go to the secular world to test.

If a sect wants to develop healthily, the latter two must add up to the vast majority, otherwise if there is an imbalance, there will be major internal problems.

The favorite disciple of the sect ruler is the fourth type.

These young children from ordinary people have no background and don't have to worry about forming cliques. They are not like the children of the family who can't figure out whether they are loyal to the family or the sect, and they are not like casual cultivators who have fixed values ​​and are slippery.

The most important thing is because he was raised by the sect since he was a child, and he is very loyal to the sect.

And the origin of the fourth type of disciple is common.

Although the Chaotic Star Sea is vast, the prosperous trade is suitable for making money, and because of the threat of natural disasters and monsters, the people are simple and good at fighting. But the number of mortals is far less than that of Tiannan.

On the one hand, it is the difference between the farming civilization of the mainland and the civilization of the ocean islands.

On the other hand, it is caused by natural disasters, such as the strong wind on the sea, if the mortals do not hide in the big formation, they will die.

It is not as simple as finding an island to migrate a few hundred people to, and then reaping tens of thousands of people after a hundred years. Opening up new islands requires cost investment, and maintaining the formation also requires a lot of spiritual stones.

The mortals in the outer sea are even more miserable. If the monks are defeated by the beast tide, the monks may be able to escape, and the mortals will become the rations of the monsters in the sea.

It is different in the countries in the south of the sky, no matter how they fight, no sect will specifically slaughter mortals. Mortals grow as fast as leeks.

It didn't even take a few decades for the major factions to manipulate the country to launch secular wars to consume a little population.

Facing the problem in front of them, the three expressed their opinions, and finally came up with a feasible solution.

First of all, on the bright side of Lingshou Mountain, the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills will be reduced to the same level as that of the Moon Sect, so that the six sects will not be afraid or concerned.

Lingshou 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 the unified teaching of several elders who know the knowledge, as well as the elite Foundation Establishment disciples.

In short, it is to cultivate the confidants of the sect.

Whether it is a child or these Foundation Establishment disciples, don't think about coming out within a hundred years after entering.

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

Ancestor Hong's secret realm is huge, and there are many monsters inside. Jiang Yun even threw hundreds of Fenghuo wolves and Qingfeng beasts into it. Don't worry about these young children living too comfortably and losing their motivation.

As long as one can succeed in learning, the Foundation Establishment Pill is enough to guarantee the Foundation Establishment.

Although Spirit Beast Mountain also cultivated this kind of dead warriors in the past, there were not many of them, because the cost of training was too high, and all the expenses had to be borne by the sect.

On the other hand, if free-range low-level disciples do their own tasks to earn training resources, the sect hardly needs to spend much money, and those who are capable will naturally stand out in the 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 they dare not use them, so it doesn't matter if they are extravagant.

These dead men are also one of the foundations of the sect.

The child has a cold and the whole family has transferred. I really haven't been writing in the past two days. I just suppressed it. Please forgive me.
