In the afternoon, there was a lot of rain and wind, and then hail fell, causing Sleeping Autumn to lie at the window and look at it for a long time, but I made a mistake in the code word, review, apologize! There is another watch in the evening!
————————————
Lu Ping asked curiously: "Senior sister, do you know why?"
Li Xuanru said uncertainly: "I heard that there are monks who are frantically buying spiritual herbs in the Phantom City today, and they are all spiritual grasses that are more than a thousand years old, and they have spent about millions of spirit stones before and after, causing the price of spiritual herbs in the entire Phantom City to rise by 10% out of thin air."
Lu Ping was stunned for a while, Li Xuanru saw that Lu Ping was stunned, thinking that Lu Ping had not understood, so he said: "The cultivation resources of our Beihai sects are already scarce, and we rarely encounter this once-in-a-century event, so whenever there is an opportunity to participate in such a grand event, the monks of the Beihai sects have to spend a lot of spirit stones to acquire various scarce resources."
Lu Ping then regained his expression, but he still wondered: "How many spirit stones and how many spirit grasses will this sect spend? But even so, it won't make her a dignified Dharma Ancestor angry!"
"Of course it's not just that!"
A voice came over, and Xuan Sen Zhenren, who had a very ugly face, walked in from outside the cave house.
After Li Xuanru and Lu Ping got up to pay their respects, Lu Ping asked with a smile: "Is there any other reason for what Uncle Master just said?"
Xuan Sen Zhenren glanced at him and said, "Do you know how many spirit stones this sect spends to purchase the spiritual herbs collected in the Phantom City at such a grand event?"
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, with a hint of embarrassment that was not easy for ordinary people to detect, and said with a smile: "Since this faction is the one who made the move, why do you want five million spirit stones!"
At this time, Xuanxu Zhenren also walked out of the cave of Tianqin Ancestor, and said with a gloomy face: "Five million? Hmph, fifteen million! If it weren't for the four major sects of the Beihai Sea participating in such a grand event, they would have bought spiritual herbs in these seven days, and this sect might have spent more spirit stones!"
At this time, Xuantian Zhenren and others on the side also heard the conversation between Xuanxu and Xuansen, the two real people and Lu Ping, and they all came over out of curiosity, Xuantian Zhenren thoughtfully: "I see, it's no wonder that all the masters and uncles are rising, that person stirs up trouble, this sect will spend an extra 1.5 million spirit stones, and ordinary cultivators in the late stage of pill forging probably don't have such a net worth."
Xuanxu Zhenren glared at Xuantian Zhenren angrily, and said: "Not only 1.5 million, the trading conference will last for seven days, and then the price of spiritual grass will rise again, and then it will not be these spirit stones."
Xuan Sen Zhenren also said: "Originally, the various factions in Beihai had a very tacit understanding to secretly buy a small amount of spiritual grass in the city many times, so that it would not be easy to attract the attention of the shops that supply spiritual grass, even if the price of spiritual grass has risen as the trading event is coming to an end, but the increase is also limited. Even if you try to buy all the spiritual herbs as much as possible."
After Xuan Sen Zhenren finished speaking, he took out a few storage bags from his body, and threw one in each person's hand, Lu Ping threw the storage bag to himself, and when he opened it, there were two piles of spirit stones neatly stacked inside, one pile was a full 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and the other pile was 500,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the entire storage bag contained a full 1.5 million worth of spirit stones, if Xuantian Zhenren and the seven of them were also the same as Lu Ping, then the eight of them had 12 million spirit stones in their hands.
Xuanxu Zhenren sighed at this time and said: "In the past, the sect used to sprinkle up to 10 million spirit stones to buy spiritual grass at this kind of grand event, but now there is a large spirit stone mine in Beihai, and this sect has secretly occupied a medium-sized spirit stone mine. It's just that don't be alone when buying spiritual grass, although there are dozens of Dharma Ancestors in this phantom spirit city, the city is mixed with humans and monsters, and the water is very deep!"
Lu Ping put away the storage bag, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Uncle, the loss of millions of spirit stones is certainly distressing, but it will not make Lyra Ancestor so angry, what is the matter......"
Lu Ping knew that as a third-generation disciple, it was indeed a bit inappropriate to ask such a question, but his identity in the sect was not much lower than that of Xuan Sen Zhenren, and he already had the qualifications to participate in the sect's secrets, so he sighed and said, "Today, Senior Sister Tianqin saw the Dao Xuan Ancestor of the Xuan Spirit Sect and the Yuan Guang Ancestor of the Crystal Palace together in the Phantom Spirit Pavilion, and news has already come out of the Phantom Spirit Pavilion, saying that this time the grade of the Xuan Ling Sect among the twenty-five medium-sized sects will be raised from the third rank to the second rank."
Lu Ping's face turned cold, the two large spirit veins occupied by the human race in the Fallen Secret Realm were originally occupied and divided by the twenty-five medium-sized sects of the overseas cultivation world, and these twenty-five medium-sized sects were divided into five grades according to the strength of their respective sects, and the share of each grade of sects in the spirit veins was different.
Originally, the Xuanling Sect and the True Spirit Sect ranked twelfth among the twenty-five sects, and the other ranked fourteenth, both of which were in the third grade, and their share in the two large spirit veins was also four percent.
However, in the past hundred years, the strength of the Xuanling Sect has not grown much, although there is an additional Feng Xu Dao, but it has also fallen a Dao Kong, and now there is also a Dao stone seriously injured, from the perspective of the Faxiang Ancestor, the Xuanling Sect has even regressed, if it is re-ranked, the Xuanling Sect can enter the second grade of the top ten among the twenty-five sects, it is considered a blessing to be able to maintain its current ranking.
On the contrary, the True Spirit Sect has only made great progress in the past hundred years, not only the Tiankang Ancestor advanced to the middle stage of the Dharma phase, but also the three more Dharma Phase Ancestors Tianlin, Tianling, and Tianqin, such strength has entered the second grade, and it is only natural to occupy a share of five percent.
If it were according to the past, although it was inevitable that there would be some struggle and compromise for the True Spirit Sect to be promoted to the second grade, the strength was there, and the problem was not too big after all, but this time the Xuan Ling Sect joined in with the support of the Crystal Palace to stir up the situation, which was not a good thing for the True Spirit Sect.
The two sects of Beihai applied for advancement at the same time, which would inevitably give the East China Sea and the South China Sea sects an aggressive posture.
At that time, the Xuanling Sect naturally had no losses, they were not qualified enough to advance, but the True Spirit Sect suffered great losses.
Even if only one sect advanced in the end, with the support of the Crystal Palace, the Xuanling Sect was very likely to squeeze out the True Spirit Sect, and their own family entered the second rank.
In this way, the Xuanling Sect was still in an undefeated situation no matter what, while the True Spirit Sect was very likely to have nothing to gain in this large gathering of various sects in the overseas cultivation world.
No wonder Lyra Ancestor was shocked and angry when he saw Dao Xuan Ancestor and Yuan Guang Ancestor in and out of the Phantom Spirit Pavilion together, and then heard the news.
In fact, the reason why Celestial Ancestor gave this opportunity to represent the True Spirit Sect in the grand event to Tianqin Ancestor, in addition to his own cultivation had indeed reached the critical point in the later stage of the advanced Dharma phase and was unwilling to go out, the most important reason was that he wanted to take the opportunity of the True Spirit Sect to rise from the third-rank medium-sized sect to the second rank, and give the credit to Tianqin Ancestor, so that Tianqin Ancestor could return to the True Spirit Sect with a layer of aura.
Lyra Ancestor didn't know the good intentions of Celestial Elephant Ancestor, but the Xuanling Sect suddenly stirred up the situation in the middle with the support of the Crystal Palace, which made Lyra Ancestor furious, but there was nothing he could do.
However, what everyone in the True Spirit Sect didn't know was that at this time, the Xuanling Sect's Dao Xuan Ancestor and the Crystal Palace Yuan Guang Ancestor were also at a loss.
After a long time, Dao Xuan Ancestor let out a long sigh and said: "Celestial phenomena are really good methods, but I didn't expect that at this juncture, it would allow Mei Xuanqin to return to the True Spirit Sect, so he was not afraid that Mei Xuanqin and Liu Tianling would fight in the nest and tear down his True Spirit Sect?"
Although Yuanguang Ancestor really didn't pay attention to the struggle between these small sects in Beihai, but at the moment the Xuanling Sect was an important pawn in the Crystal Palace's attack on Beihai, so he also said helplessly: "This time it was indeed unexpected by me, the True Spirit Sect not only had four mid-stage Dharma Phase monks, but also the Dharma Phase Period monks also reached nine.
Dao Xuan Ancestor asked a little unwillingly: "Yuan Guang Daoist, even if your faction intervenes, can't you prevent the True Spirit Sect from being promoted? The True Spirit Sect has risen too rapidly over the years, and if the benefits obtained from these two large spiritual veins increase, then the gap between this sect and the True Spirit Sect will probably become wider and wider."
Yuanguang Ancestor replied with some dissatisfaction: "The most fundamental reason for the rise of a sect lies in the sect itself, and external interference can only play a hindrance role. This grand event, my Crystal Palace also has to deal with the provocation of the boudoir on the giant spirit vein, but he has no time to take care of it, and this is a matter of a medium-sized sect, and my Crystal Palace's excessive interference will inevitably cause disgust from all factions."
After listening to Yuanguang Ancestor's words, Daoxuan Ancestor couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Ancestor Yuan Guang was secretly a little disdainful, but he still said: "But don't worry, Taoist friends, although the promotion of the True Spirit Sect to a second-class sect this time is already unchangeable, but this sect will also support your faction to be promoted to a second-class sect as much as possible, so that your sect will not be much weaker than the True Spirit Sect at least on the basis. Whether you can completely suppress the True Spirit Sect and make your sect the overlord of the North Sea, in the end, it depends on your own efforts!"
Dao Xuan Patriarch heard that the Crystal Palace had promised to do his best to help the Xuan Ling Sect be promoted to a second-class sect, and he was already overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Yuanguang Daoist, please rest assured, this sect's Lin Xuqing's nephew has the help of your faction, and the advanced Dharma phase period is also within these two years.
Yuanguang Ancestor had the intention to point out that if these two had not received the help of the Crystal Palace, if they wanted to advance to the Dharma phase, they would probably have to accumulate a hundred years of accumulated, but after thinking about it, these words were still not said after all.
The next day, Lu Ping carried the 1.5 million spirit stones handed over by Xuan Sen Zhenren to carry out the task of his sect to purchase spiritual grass, and just out of the cave, a sound transmission magic sword fell from the sky, Lu Ping took the magic sword in his hand and swept it with his divine thoughts, and his face suddenly showed joy.
