“However, the foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators in our Whirlpool Sea Area are well preserved. Apart from the people we sent out four years ago, we have not sent anyone to the Silent Sea Area.”
Lu Xuanping also knew that his great grandfather had already talked about this matter. However, the Lu family only needed to pay the money at that time, which led to some financial tension in his family.
"I wonder what the meaning of Fellow Daoist Dong telling me this is?"
"I guess the Lu family's wealth has started to be insufficient to cover their expenses over the past few years!" Dong Xuan smiled slightly.
"Dong Daoyou, what do you mean by that?"
"Not only your Lu family, but also the four Jindan families, the Mu family, the Chi family, and the Lin family, have seen their incomes decline. Even business in Taihang Market is not doing well. The demonic cultivators are constantly attacking the island, causing some independent cultivators to simply practice in seclusion and not care about worldly affairs."
"You know, many people on deserted islands practice in seclusion. How can those demonic cultivators come to them? There is no business for independent cultivators anymore."
"The Foundation Building Clan has also had its people sent to the front lines, and the Golden Core Clan has also had a large amount of resources withdrawn, so business is not going well."
Lu Xuanping nodded. He understood this logic, otherwise Chen Yi would not be so happy about the elixir Lu Xuanping took out. The family’s economic crisis was resolved at once.
"Now, except for those doing monopoly business, such as Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, no one else can make much money. This is all the fault of the evil path." Dong Xuan said gritting his teeth.
"And these Jindan cultivators in the Whirlpool Sea are all concerned about their own families and are unwilling to leave their family's base."
"Compared to searching for demonic cultivators everywhere, it is more important to protect our own family. Otherwise, if the Jindan cultivators go out, what if those demonic cultivators gather together and attack our family?"
"It's no problem for you to ask these family forces to send out some foundation-building cultivators. After all, sending out only foundation-building cultivators won't affect the family's overall situation. But like the demons you encountered earlier, the four of them actually had a set of joint attack formations."
"With the four of them working together, there should be few people who can defeat the other party except for the Jindan cultivators. In this situation, the foundation-building cultivators alone cannot defeat the other party. After all, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days when they were thieves the day before yesterday. Moreover, in the vast ocean, if the other party hides underwater or on an uninhabited island, how can we catch him?"
“Unless Jindan Zhenren takes action, the entire Whirlpool Sea, the four Jindan families and I have no hands free.”
Lu Xuanping seemed to understand why Dong Xuan came to him, and was afraid that he wanted to take action himself against the evil cultivator.
"If that's the case, why doesn't Fellow Daoist Dong ask for help from Feiyu Sect?"
"Haha. Fellow Daoist Lu, you are joking. A Jindan family like the Lu family, which originated from Feiyu Sect, has never asked Feiyu Sect for help. Is it possible that a pure family power like ours can still get help from Feiyu Sect?"
"You know, even though Master Taihang is at the front line right now, how can he command the Feiyu Sect?"
Lu Xuanping frowned. The ancestors of the Lu family were from the Feiyu Sect, but they did not have a good relationship with the Feiyu Sect. Otherwise, they would not have left to establish the Lu family. Also, because they were born in the Feiyu Sect, they did not have a good relationship with the family. However, this was also an opportunity. However, this opportunity could only be used by those with strong strength.
"Friend Dong, just speak frankly and stop beating around the bush."
"Okay, since your Lu family has two Jindan Zhenren, you might as well send one of them to participate in the sea patrol to capture some demonic monks. Then we can follow the clues and completely wipe them out."
When Lu Xuanping heard this, he was silent for a moment, trying to think about whether there was any problem.
Finally he said, "Okay, I can agree to this." Lu Xuanping thought about it and agreed.
Taoist Master Dong Xuan and Taoist Master Taihang have been quite kind to me, so it is my duty to help them eliminate the demons.
As a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, Taihang Zhenren is destined to be the first one to die on the front line. Plus, he is six hundred years old, and I will be working under him for a long time. Helping him is also a way of repaying him.
The only thing he was worried about was that after he agreed to this, the demonic monks would retaliate against their Lu family. However, with his great grandfather guarding the Lu family's main island, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
Dong Xuan was overjoyed after hearing what Lu Xuanping said, "Then I'll leave it to you, fellow Taoist."
"Don't worry, Brother Dong, I still have some conditions that I haven't told you yet!"
"Okay, no matter what conditions Brother Lu has, as long as they are reasonable, I can agree to it on behalf of Taihang Market."
Hearing this, Lu Xuanping was not polite. "I want to buy some materials with five elements attributes to refine magic weapons. I wonder if Brother Dong has any good recommendations."
Hearing what Lu Xuanping said, Dong Xuan agreed, "No problem, Brother Lu."
"I can directly decide on the magic weapon materials that the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce is auctioning. Brother Lu, I can let you select them first, and then sell them at the auction."
"Okay then."
"I can also introduce you to the person in charge of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. If you have any needs, you can go directly to him and he can transfer them from other sea areas. And I also have a piece of "Spring and Wood" in my hand.
"This 'Spring and Harmony Wood' is the material for refining wood-attributed magic weapons. It can also be given to fellow Taoists."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Thank you very much, Brother Dong."
The two of them talked in the meeting hall for several hours before Lu Xuanping came out with an extra token on his body.
With this token, Lu Xuanping can control the foundation-building guards in Taihangfang City.
However, after leaving the council hall, Lu Xuanping's face suddenly turned gloomy.
After he accepted the commission from Master Dong Xuan, the system task came unexpectedly.
Mission: Blood Demon's Descent
Content: The Blood Demon Dao monks in the Whirlpool Sea are active. You will receive rewards based on your contribution to the Demon Slayer content, including Foundation Building (0/87) and Golden Elixir (0/3)
Rewards: Spirit stones, elixirs, techniques, magic tools On the mission alone, there are a total of eighty-seven demonic foundation-building cultivators.
When Lu Xuanping first saw it, he was completely surprised. You know, there are two major forces in the entire Whirlpool Sea, the family forces and the sect forces. In fact, the number of foundation-building cultivators and golden elixir cultivators in the sect forces has always suppressed the family forces.
This can be seen from the last time someone appeared from the secret realm of Rokka Island.
According to Lu Xuanping's rough estimate, there should be no more than 700 foundation-building monks in the entire Whirlpool Sea. Adding the group of people who were transferred away earlier, the remaining number should be less than 2/3, which is nearly 400 foundation-building monks.
In other words, there should be only more than 150 foundation-building cultivators on the family side.
Even if many families concealed many people like the Lu family, the scarcity of foundation-building pills would result in very few foundation-building cultivators. Moreover, can those newly born foundation-building cultivators be the same as the old foundation-building cultivators?
On the demonic side, there are a total of eighty-seven foundation-building cultivators, which means almost half of the total.
If a real fight breaks out, the enemy will have a complete formation, we will be in the light while they are in the dark, our defense area will be large, our personnel will be scattered, and we will be attacked on a large scale by the magic foundation. By then, we won't know how we died.
