But once it's in your pocket, you can consider it yours.
In just a few days, at least 20 million low-grade spirit stones have been consumed.
How can I not feel heartbroken?
"Yeah, damn it, the foundation of this sect is truly terrifying. Fellow Daoist Ku Xuan, why don't we ask that person to gather a group of array masters? At this rate, the resources being consumed are staggering."
Xue Yuanzi also felt something, his expression indignant, and he frowned as he spoke.
This resource will only fully belong to the independent cultivators once the goal is achieved. If they can save more, they can enrich their own pockets afterward and perhaps even be able to ask for resources to break through to a higher realm.
"It's unlikely. Array masters are rare. Those with the skill to break arrays of this level are all well-known and would leave traces."
Ku Xuan Sanren shook his head and said, "The only solution now is to send someone to invite some array masters back and then continue the fierce attack. This array has shown signs of stagnation. As long as we continue the fierce attack, we will definitely be able to break it. Moreover, I don't believe that their foundation can last that long!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Yuanzi frowned, his expression growing increasingly resentful, but he could only glare fiercely at the 'cloud' on the ground.
At this moment, the taciturn Daoist Youqing, who had been standing to the side, seemed to have thought of a good idea and said, "This can't go on like this. Why don't we split up our forces..."
Upon hearing this, the two people beside him both changed their expressions and looked at Daoist Youqing.
...
Yunxiao's side continuously used its resources to fight back.
The four array flags are all now in the hands of cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, and they have been rotated several times.
The only ones who haven't made a move are Lin Xiuyuan, Pang Hongbo, Zhong Kangshun, and Ge Yun, the three peak experts of the Purple Mansion realm.
The former remained in his tent, showing no intention of making a move, and seemed to act as if he were the commander-in-chief, so naturally no one asked Lin Xiuyuan to take action.
The latter are the ones who hold the line, in case of any unexpected situation. If the formation is broken, they will be needed to lead the troops to fight back immediately, so they need to preserve their strength.
However, Zhong Kangshun received some information and intelligence about the enemy today, so he had no choice but to come to the main tent to ask Lin Xiuyuan to come out.
"Greetings, Manager Lin."
Zhong Kangshun came alone, his expression showing a hint of weariness. He entered the main tent and met Lin Xiuyuan.
Although he did not personally take action, the mental and physical exertion of overseeing the entire situation for several days was considerable.
Lin Xiuyuan sat cross-legged on a futon, closed his eyes and meditated. In front of him was an incense burner with a calming incense stick inserted in it. The incense burned slowly and emitted a fragrance that filled the air. Even a whiff of it could calm the mind and soothe the soul.
Upon hearing of Zhong Kangshun's arrival, Lin Xiuyuan slowly dispelled his cultivation technique, opened his eyes, and gestured, saying, "Protector Zhong, please sit down!"
Looking at Zhong Kangshun's face, Lin Xiuyuan felt a little apologetic and said, "Protector Zhong, you've worked hard these past few days."
Zhong Kangshun waved his hand, sat down to the side, and said, "As a protector, these things are simply my duty, and there's no question of hardship."
"It's been hard work, and I admit I've neglected my duty. I should have been the one to take command, but I've troubled Protector Zhong. However, for now, I need to break through to the mid-stage realm as soon as possible so I can change the situation, which is why I'm staying in the camp to cultivate."
Lin Xiuyuan apologized.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Kangshun's expression froze, and he was momentarily at a loss for words. Another breakthrough to the mid-stage?
What, does breaking through the mid-stage mean you can fly to the sky?
Seeing the strange look on the other person's face, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything more. Then, with a hint of doubt, he asked:
"What brings Protector Zhong here so suddenly? Is he about to give up?"
"Yes and no." When it came to serious matters, a hint of gloom flashed across Zhong Kangshun's face, but a few joyful thoughts also appeared in his eyes.
Lin Xiuyuan found it strange for a while, but he didn't urge the other party to continue, quietly watching him and waiting for him to continue.
Then Zhong Kangshun said, "There are two things this time, one good news and one bad news. Let me tell you the good news first. Seeing that we have persisted for several days and are indeed determined to continue, both sides have sent word that they intend to secretly mobilize some cultivators and resources to help us."
"Oh, I see." Lin Xiuyuan nodded, his expression calm and unwavering, and continued, "And the bad news?"
Speaking of this, Zhong Kangshun's face grew even more somber as he said, "Observing the enemy army, there are signs of troop movements, with one or two thousand cultivators being redeployed, along with quite a few Purple Mansion stage cultivators. It's estimated they intend to bypass our stronghold here and attack major resource areas!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan also felt that the matter was rather troublesome, and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
While Lin Xiuyuan was considering his options, Zhong Kangshun frowned and said, "Master Lin, is there really no need to overthink this? Although there's good news and bad news, they can counteract each other. As long as we agree to the two families' offer of assistance, we can free up manpower to intercept the enemy forces and protect our resource areas! Or..."
Zhong Kangshun paused here, a fierce look appearing on his face, and said with murderous intent, "Either we take advantage of the help we have and charge out directly, using the offensive power of the Cloud Dragon Formation, and hopefully confront these rogue cultivators head-on and crush them!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan remained silent for a moment. After pondering for a while, he waved his hand and said, "The matter of those two families coming to help is not so simple. In fact, they want us to form a united front and directly get involved in the mess. This contradicts my strategy of retreating!"
