Lu Ping asked curiously: "Senior sister, do you know the reason?"
Li Xuanru said with uncertainty: "I heard that some monks bought spirit grass in the Illusionary City crazily today, and the ones they bought were all more than a thousand years old. They spent about millions of spirit stones before and after, making the entire Illusory City The price of the spirit grass has been raised by 10% out of thin air."
Lu Ping was stunned for a while, Li Xuanru saw that Lu Ping was in a daze, thinking that Lu Ping didn't understand, so he said: "The cultivation resources of our Beihai sects are scarce, and it is rare to meet this kind of grand event that happens once in a century, so whenever there is a chance When participating in such a grand event, monks from all factions in the North Sea have to spend a lot of spirit stones to buy various scarce resources."
Only then did Lu Ping regain his composure, but he still wondered: "How many spirit stones and herbs will this faction spend? But even so, it won't make her a majestic patriarch of Dharma Prime Minister angry!"
"Of course it's not just that!"
A voice came over, and Master Xuansen with a very ugly complexion came in from outside the cave.
After Li Xuanru and Lu Ping got up to salute, Lu Ping asked with a smile: "Are there any other reasons for what Master Uncle said just now?"
Master Xuan Sen glanced at him, and said, "Do you know how much spirit stones our faction will spend to buy the spirit herbs gathered in the Illusory Spirit City during such grand gatherings?"
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, with a trace of embarrassment that ordinary people would not notice, and said with a smile: "Since it's our faction who made the move, why would it cost five million spirit stones!"
At this time, Master Xuanxu also came out of the cave of the ancestor of Tianqin, and said with a gloomy face: "Five million? Huh, fifteen million! If it weren't for the four great sects of Beihai who participated in such a grand event, they would all be doing their best during these seven days." Buying spirit grass, our faction may spend more spirit stones!"
At this moment, Master Xuantian and others on the side also heard the conversation between the two real people Xuanxu and Xuansen and Lu Ping, and they all came over out of curiosity. Masters and uncles, if that person disrupts the situation, our sect will have to spend an extra one and a half million spirit stones, and ordinary monks in the late stage of forging alchemy probably don't have such wealth."
Reverend Xuanxu glared at Reverend Xuantian angrily, and said, "It's more than 1.5 million. The trading conference lasts for seven days, and the price of spirit grass will rise again after that. At that time, it won't be just these spirit stones."
Master Xuansen also said: "Originally, all the factions in Beihai had a tacit understanding of buying spiritual herbs in the city in small quantities and many times. In this way, it is not easy to attract the attention of shops that supply spiritual herbs. As the end draws to a close, the price of spirit grass has risen, but the increase is also limited. This time, someone disrupted the situation, and the original tacit understanding of the various factions was broken. I am afraid that the various factions will go their own way, lest nothing will be obtained in the end. Senior Brother Xuanxu, even you guys have to buy all the spirit herbs as much as possible."
Master Xuan Sen finished speaking, then took out several storage bags from his body, and threw one in everyone's hands. Lu Ping finally threw it to his own storage bag. When he opened it, there were two neatly stacked bags inside. A pile of spirit stones, one pile is a full 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and the other pile is 500,000 low-grade spirit stones. The entire storage bag contains a total of 1.5 million worth of spirit stones. Master Xuantian and Second Senior Sister are also the same as Lu Ping, so the eight of them have 12 million spirit stones in their hands.
Master Xuanxu sighed at this moment, and said: "In the past, the sect would throw out at most 10 million spirit stones to buy spirit grass at such grand gatherings. Now there is a large spirit stone mine in Beihai, and our sect has secretly occupied a medium-sized spirit stone mine. Mine, originally this time I had to be rich and powerful, and spent an extra five million yuan to buy spirit grass, but I encountered this kind of thing, so let's do our best. Just don't place an order when buying spirit grass. Although there are dozens of Faxiang Patriarchs in the Illusory Spirit City, there are mixed people and monsters in the city, and the water is very deep!"
Lu Ping put away the storage bag, thought for a while and asked: "Uncle, the loss of millions of spirit stones is certainly distressing, but it is not enough to make the ancestor of Tianqin so violent, what is it... "
Lu Ping knew that it was inappropriate to ask such a question as a disciple of the third generation, but his status in the sect was not much lower than that of Master Xuansen, and he already had the qualification to participate in secrecy of the sect, so he sighed and said: "Today Sister Tianqin saw Patriarch Daoxuan of the Xuanling Sect and Patriarch Yuanguang of the Crystal Palace together in the Huanling Pavilion. There has been news from the Huanling Pavilion that this time the Xuanling Sect is among the twenty-five medium-sized sects The grade will be raised from the third class to the second class."
Lu Ping's face turned cold. The two large spirit mine veins occupied by the human race in the Fallen Realm were originally occupied by 25-year-old medium-sized sects in the overseas cultivation world. There are five grades, and each grade's sect has a different share in the spirit vein.
Originally, among the twenty-five sects, Xuanling Sect and Zhenling Sect ranked twelfth, and the other ranked fourteenth. four quarters.
However, in the past hundred years, the strength of Xuanling Sect has not increased much. Although Feng Xudao has been added, Daokong has also fallen, and now there is still a Daoshi who is seriously injured. Judging from the ancestor of Faxiang, Xuanling Pai has even regressed. If it is re-ranked, the Xuanling School will be lucky to be able to keep the current ranking, let alone the second rank in the top ten schools in the past 25 years.
On the contrary, the True Spirit Sect has really made great progress in the past hundred years. Not only the ancestor Tiankang advanced to the middle stage of Dharma Aspect, but also the three Dharma Ancestors Tianlin, Tianling, and Tianqin. In the second grade, it is only natural to occupy 5% of the share. If it weren't for the ancestors of the True Spirit Sect who did not have a late-stage ancestor, it would be reasonable to have a 6% share even if they broke into the top five in one fell swoop.
According to the past, although it is inevitable for the True Spirit Sect to be promoted to the second level, there will be some struggle and compromise, but the strength is there, after all, the problem is not too big, but this time the Xuanling Sect joined in with the support of the Crystal Palace to disrupt the situation. It is not a good thing for the True Spirit faction.
The two sects of Beihai applying for advancement at the same time will inevitably give the sects of Donghai and Nanhai an aggressive posture. Maybe it will be self-defeating, and neither of the two sects will be able to advance.
At that time, the Xuanling faction will naturally have no loss. They are not qualified to advance, but the true spirit faction will suffer a great loss.
Even if only one sect advances in the end, with the support of the Crystal Palace, the Xuanling sect is very likely to squeeze out the Zhenling sect and enter the second rank.
In this way, the Xuanling faction is invincible anyway, but the True Spirit faction is very likely to fail in this big gathering of various schools and factions in the overseas cultivation world.
No wonder Patriarch Tianqin was shocked and angry when he saw Patriarch Daoxuan and Patriarch Yuanguang going in and out of the Huanling Pavilion together, and then heard the news.
In fact, the reason why Tianxiang Patriarch gave Tianqin Patriarch this opportunity to represent the True Spirit Sect to participate in the grand event was that his own cultivation had indeed reached the critical point of the advanced stage of Dharma Form and he was unwilling to go out for a walk. One of the most important reasons is to take advantage of the opportunity that the True Spirit Sect has risen from the third-class medium-sized sect to the second-class, and give the credit to the ancestor of Tianqin, so that the ancestor of Tianqin can return to the True Spirit Sect with a layer of halo .
How could Patriarch Tianqin not know the good intentions of Patriarch Tianxiang, but with the support of the Crystal Palace, the Xuanling faction suddenly broke out midway to disrupt the situation, which made Patriarch Tianqin furious, but there was nothing he could do.
However, what everyone in the True Spirit Sect didn't know was that at this time, Patriarch Daoxuan of the Xuanling Sect and Patriarch Yuanguang of the Crystal Palace were also helpless.
After a long time, Patriarch Daoxuan let out a long sigh, and said: "Astronomical phenomenon is really a good method, but at this juncture, he didn't expect to make Mei Xuanqin return to the True Spirit Sect. The True Spirit Pie was dismantled?"
Although Patriarch Yuan Guang didn't pay much attention to the struggles of these small sects in Beihai, the Xuanling Sect is an important chess piece for the Crystal Palace to attack Beihai, so he also said helplessly: "This time it was indeed beyond our expectations. In addition, the True Spirit Sect not only has four monks in the mid-stage Dharma Aspect, but also has nine monks in the Dharma Aspect stage, if such strength cannot be promoted to the second rank among the medium-sized sects, then it is too unreasonable."
Ancestor Daoxuan asked somewhat unwillingly: "Fellow Daoist Yuanguang, even if your sect intervenes, can't you stop the promotion of the True Spirit Sect? The True Spirit Sect has risen too rapidly these years. If the benefits obtained from the Spiritual Vein increase, then the gap between this faction and the True Spirit faction will probably become wider and wider."
Patriarch Yuan Guang replied with some dissatisfaction: "The most fundamental reason for the rise of a sect lies in the sect itself, and external interference can only hinder it. For this grand event, my Crystal Palace has to deal with the boudoir's provocation on the giant spirit mine vein." , but he has no time to take care of it, and besides, this is a matter of a medium-sized sect, so too much interference from my Crystal Palace will inevitably arouse the resentment of all sects."
After hearing the words of Patriarch Yuan Guang, Patriarch Daoxuan couldn't help but feel a little dejected.
Patriarch Yuan Guang was a little disdainful in secret, but he still said: "But friends, don't worry, this time, although the promotion of the True Spirit Sect to the second-class sect is unchangeable, this sect will also support your sect's promotion as much as possible. It is a second-class sect, so the noble sect will not be much weaker than the True Spirit sect at least fundamentally. It is just Daoxuan Daoist, although my Crystal Palace is powerful, but it is also a big tree that attracts the wind. Can you completely suppress the True Spirit sect and make your sect To become the overlord of the North Sea, ultimately depends on your faction's own efforts!"
Patriarch Daoxuan heard that the Crystal Palace had promised to help the Xuanling Sect to be promoted to the second-class sect, and he was already elated, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Yuanguang, please don't worry, Master Nephew Lin Xuqing of our sect has the help of your sect to advance to the next level." The Dharma Stage is only within two years, and Lu Xuheng's nephew will soon be condensing the seventh-grade golden elixir, and by then, our sect will definitely regain the upper hand in Beihai."
Patriarch Yuan Guang deliberately pointed out that if the two of them hadn't received the help of the Crystal Palace, they might have to accumulate a hundred years of experience if they wanted to advance to the Dharma phase, but after thinking about it, they still didn't say this.
On the second day, Lu Ping carried the 1.5 million spiritual stones given by Master Xuan Sen to carry out the mission of our faction to purchase spiritual grass. Just after leaving the cave, a sound transmission magic sword fell from the sky, and Lu Ping held the magic sword in his hand With a sweep of divine sense, a happy look appeared on his face.
