Chapter 330 The war has begun, adding fuel to the fire!

Seeing Zhuang Sheng's news, Gu was worried.

The situation has been tense for nearly a year. Has it finally broken down?

Looking at the message left by Lu Yu, it is similar to that left by Zhuang Sheng.

Gu Dan opened the cave's formation without hesitation. After three days, he finally walked out of the cave gate.

Outside the gate of his cave, none of the monks who were originally waiting here were left.

He was probably driven out by the people from the Law Enforcement Hall.

Not only that, there wasn't even a wandering monk to be seen around.

Gu Dan thought about it and walked towards Zhuang Sheng’s cave.

"You're out?"

Zhuang Sheng glanced at Gu Dan's slightly graying hair and said, "It seems the situation is still not good."

"It's not a big deal. What happened in the past few days?"

Gu Dan asked directly.

"The other five immortal houses started fighting together."

Zhuang Sheng said in a deep voice: "Just three days ago, all negotiations broke down. There was no room for easing. The cultivators who signed the contract refused to fulfill it, and the five immortal houses refused to cede the land-level areas. So, of course, they started fighting."

"How is it going?"

Gu Dan didn't seem surprised.

He had anticipated this. It was an unsolvable problem that could not be solved unless a large number of people died.

"Those cultivators who don't have cave dwellings in the yellow-level area, as well as some grandmasters who have reached the late stage of Qi training, formed an alliance called the 'Freemason Alliance' and united with each other.

They believed that the source of spiritual energy was created by heaven and earth and did not belong to any one person. The five immortal houses were originally ownerless, but the first group of people who discovered them shamelessly occupied them and used the source of spiritual energy to continuously exploit those who came after them.

Now, they don't even care about the slightest bit of face, and only think about how to get more benefits from them, but they are unwilling to give them even a glimmer of opportunity. In this case, why not overturn the Immortal Pavilion, divide the spiritual energy again, work together, and plan for the future. "

"Freemasonry?"

Gu Dan smiled, but was not very optimistic.

The goal can be set high, but the road is destined to be difficult.

The Freemasonry at this time was composed of a group of oppressed monks and ambitious people who were willing to risk their lives to gain a future even for their own interests.

But precisely because of this, it is destined that this thing will hardly bring about any practical changes. It is nothing more than a group of monks huddling together for warmth.

When faced with a great threat, they united to ensure their own survival, but once they achieved results, when it was time to redistribute the benefits, could they still work together? That is probably impossible.

Even if we only look at the developments in the mundane world, it is enough to foresee the improprieties of the Freemasonry.

"At least that's what they say."

Zhuang Sheng also shrugged slightly, obviously not very enthusiastic about this matter.

For natural treasures, whoever discovers them first gets to use them.

But things like spiritual energy sources, which are similar to caves, cannot be used up or moved away, and whoever discovers it first does not necessarily own it, so all you can do is rely on your fists.

This is the first time in the 88 years since the Immortal Palace came to power that the lower-level cultivators have united to challenge the authority of the Immortal Palace.

Although Ningfang was lucky enough to escape from this incident, its operating model is no different from the other five immortal houses. Theoretically speaking, in a few decades, the fate of the other five immortal houses will be the same as that of Ningfang itself.

Whether it is to avoid this incident or for the integration of the source of spiritual energy, Ning Fang cannot turn a blind eye.

"Even if a fight breaks out, it will be fought inside the Immortal House, right?"

Gu Dan asked.

The lower-level monks have a huge flaw.

That is, it is impossible to separate from the aura itself.

Warriors are fine. Even without spiritual energy, their own flesh and blood are also strength.

But how much better can a Qigong cultivator be than a mortal without any spiritual energy?

Without the help of magic, they couldn't even get out of the Buzhou Mountains!

"That's right, the five immortal houses have been divided."

Zhuang Sheng nodded immediately and said, "Many cultivators have rebelled, including most of the cultivators in the yellow-level caves. Although they also have caves to live in, how can they not covet the earth-level caves, or even the spiritual energy source itself?

Practicing peacefully and steadily may not necessarily lead to a breakthrough to the foundation-building stage, and it is very likely to be a waste of time. However, the best example of advancing to the foundation-building stage with the help of the source of spiritual energy is the master of Huang Chao.

Some people even used the adventure of the Huang Dynasty Hall Master to encourage people, believing that the source of spiritual energy can help people advance to the foundation-building stage. Otherwise, it is impossible for a cultivator with low-grade spiritual roots to advance to the foundation-building stage in just thirty or forty years. "

"That's true."

Gu Dan said, "No one is a fool. The speed of Huang Chao's promotion has already shown that the source of spiritual energy itself is extraordinary. Before, no one challenged the authority of the Spiritual Square, and people were not united. Even if they had some thoughts in their hearts, they dared not speak them out. Now that they have torn their faces, they naturally have nothing to worry about."

"In just three short days, one foundation-building cultivator has already died."

Zhuang Sheng added: "Another foundation-building master from Huofang Lingzhen Hall was killed by a grandmaster in the late stage of Qi training."

"The Fire House again?"

Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly.

As the first immortal workshop to be established, Huofang has the most profound heritage.

Correspondingly, it will also inevitably mean that the overall strength of the Fire Workshop will be much stronger.

There are also more cultivators who are stuck at the barriers of the late stage of Qi training and unable to advance to the foundation building stage.

Those masters who have not much time left will definitely not want to see themselves die before the foundation-building barrier in their final years. Risking their lives is no longer something they dare not try.

Perhaps the master who is often mentioned is burning his flesh and blood, and is about to turn into a blazing sun, burning this long-forgotten land.

"That's not all. The Fire Shop owner Feng Qian threatened to shut down the Fire Shop's formations, leaving those cultivators without spiritual energy. The Freemason Alliance cultivators said that if Feng Qian dared to do that, they would dismantle all of the Fire Shop's formations, and no one would be able to survive."

Zhuang Sheng said intriguingly.

A fake battlefield: flashing swords and shadows, every step is thrilling.

The real battlefield: verbal sparring, everyone pursuing their own interests.

But no matter what, killing another foundation-building cultivator undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale and spirit of the Freemasons. They felt that the foundation-building cultivator was not an unshakable existence, and the gap between the late stage of Qi training and the early stage of foundation-building was not that big.

Although their quality is not high enough, the quantity is large!

Moreover, he has the status of a grandmaster and the support of a strong person in the late stage of Qi training. If he really clashes with the foundation building stage, he has a good chance.

"However, the two foundation-building masters who were killed in Huofang were both promoted from high-grade spiritual roots, and none of them were masters."

Zhuang Sheng continued to add.

"The real foundation building has not yet risked one's life."

Gu Dan nodded slightly, understanding what Zhuang Sheng meant.

A pure-bred foundation-building cultivator without spiritual energy will be at the mercy of others. He is still a larger fish in the pond, but after all, he is not a bird flying in the sky and cannot escape from the Immortal Pavilion.

People like Feng Qian, the owner of the Fire Shop, would be masters that everyone would look up to even if they left the Fire Shop and returned to the mortal world. They would be giants in their own right without the help of spiritual energy.

And because of the foundation building, their lifespan has been raised by at least a hundred years, and they still have a bright future. Are they really willing to learn from those masters in the late stage of Qi training and risk their lives at will? I'm afraid it's difficult.

After all, there is a proverb in the mortal world that goes: As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

The White Lotus Sect had implemented it very well in the past, but now it seems that a new choice has been posed to those who are forced to build their foundations due to the war.

"The current situation is that the five immortal squares have been divided. The original controllers of the five immortal squares still firmly control the earth-level areas. And those people from the Freemason Alliance have occupied most of the areas inside the immortal squares, including the yellow-level areas.

At present, both sides have maintained a great deal of restraint and have not resorted to bloodshed or life-and-death struggles over a disagreement."

Zhuang Sheng sighed, "I don't know how long this situation can last."

"It shouldn't take long."

Gu Dan speculated.

Those who are building their foundation are not afraid of procrastination. As long as they are still in the Earth-level area, they will become stronger every day.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

And for those who are still in the late stage of Qi training in the yellow level area, is it possible that they will have a chance to advance to the foundation building stage?

Even if he really got promoted, why would he stay in the Freemason Alliance? I haven't seen any immortal house that refuses to give a position to a foundation-building cultivator!

To put it bluntly, the real fuse of this war was because of the matter in the cave, but to understand the real reason, it is nothing more than those masters in the late stage of Qi training who want to survive and earn themselves a chance to move forward.

No matter where the opportunity is, as long as you can get it and fulfill yourself, then the so-called "being in the same boat" will probably be like wind in one ear and out the other.

Gu Dan even had reason to suspect that someone in the five immortal pavilions had already done this. After all, the method of differentiation had been extremely mature throughout history.

As long as the Freemasons become divided internally, Zhuji can strike hard to shock them, and finally magnanimously declare that except for a few culprits, the rest will be forgiven, and this matter will not be difficult to handle.

Looking back at history, this kind of thing has happened too many times. This time it simply happened in the Buzhou Mountains. There is no reason why it would be any different just because it is associated with the word "Immortality".

But they probably missed one thing.

Ning Fang is still staying out of this matter!

The only and biggest troublemaker in this matter is sleeping with his eyes closed, watching with eager eyes! Gu Dan doesn't believe that Ningfang has no preparations and backup plans.

This special force is very likely to decide the life or death of a workshop, and then completely ignite several immortal workshops. Once the source of spiritual energy is integrated once, it means that there is no room for maneuver. No one does not want to be the final winner, and no one wants his family business to become a stepping stone for others.

"This incident has stolen Brother Kong's limelight."

As if realizing that the atmosphere was a little too depressing, Zhuang Sheng joked.

"Ha, it's better not to have this kind of limelight."

Gu Dan shook his head slightly and didn't take it seriously.

No wonder there was no one blocking his way and waiting in front of his cave. At this time, it would take at least seventy years for the internal breathing technique to show results, which was too far away.

And war is imminent.

People are already restless, and the Ningfang, which has temporarily stayed out of the matter, is not a monolithic entity. If a war breaks out, who can guarantee that they can live for seventy years?

His enthusiasm was severely dampened by the news of the war.

"Has the news of the war been leaked?"

However, Gu Dan understood Zhuang Sheng's voice-over.

When Ning Fang was in seclusion and locked up, ordinary cultivators could not come out at all, even the people from the Law Enforcement Hall could not go out.

The person who can get information from the outside world is most likely Ning Fang’s own foundation-building cultivator.

Telling them is normal, but letting the whole Ningfang know about it, I'm afraid there are other plans.

"indeed."

Zhuang Sheng nodded, and said with a complicated expression: "Nowadays, artificial spiritual stones are selling well."

".adding fuel to the fire."

Gu Dan said quietly.

He had seen a cultivator absorbing artificial spirit stones for the first time at Ning Yuan's place, and the effect was indeed extraordinary.

Absorbing artificial spirit stones in a very short time and improving one's own cultivation is undoubtedly the fastest way to increase one's combat power.

But the price is equally heavy. From now on, the path forward is as good as cut off. Not to mention building a foundation, it is hard to say whether one can even reach the late stage of Qi training!

If you use it more, being able to survive is considered a success.

"Friend Kong Dao also has a share of the credit for this."

As Zhuang Sheng spoke, he used a heavy accent on the word "merit".

"Huh?! What does this have to do with me?"

Gu Dan was stunned.

"The people in Lingzhen Hall said that your inner breath technique has the effect of nourishing the body and mind, and can also cultivate spiritual medicine. Spiritual medicines such as the three-leaf spiritual vein flower can help people cleanse their spiritual energy. In other words, even if you absorb the artificial spiritual stone, it is not completely hopeless."

Zhuang Sheng said.

Gu Dan: “.”

Damn those bastards in Lingzhen Hall!

He was just seeking a magical medicine, but he was repeatedly used as a banner.

Even if they are plotting against each other, there is no need to keep consuming one person like this, right?

Besides, what does the inner breath technique have to do with the way of immortality? It took the Qingmu Huasheng Jue, which was cultivated for 50,000 years, to finally blossom in the way of immortality. Ordinary inner breath techniques, even if practiced for 2,000 years, would not have the slightest connection with the way of immortality.

Trying to use internal breathing techniques to regulate scattered spiritual energy is nothing but a fool's dream.

Even Qingmu Liquid can’t cure it.

Unless you give up all your cultivation and destroy your Qi Hai Dan Tian, ​​how can you cure the disease as long as it is still there?

What Lingzhentang did was equivalent to using his deeds to paint a rosy picture for the lower-level monks.

He was set up as a role model for lower-level cultivators, telling them that even if they absorbed artificial spirit stones, they could make up for it as long as their internal breathing techniques were effective.

But Gu Dan naturally understood very well that it was an impossible thing.

But the three-leaf spiritual vein flower does have the ability to cleanse spiritual energy. This is something that Gu Dan has personally experimented with and cannot be denied.

Theoretically speaking, those monks who have absorbed artificial spiritual stones do have hope of using spiritual objects to heal their already weak foundations.

But how many lucky people are there? The three-leaf spiritual vein flower is not some common herb. It is one of the main ingredients of the foundation-building pill!

If you want to use this level of Lingzhen to make up for yourself, you might as well think about how to cultivate to the late stage of Qi training and then find the foundation-building pill. Otherwise, how can it be called a pie in the sky! "Lingzhen Hall, you are going too far."

Gu Dan frowned, looking extremely dissatisfied.
