Lu Ping curiously asked, "Senior Martial Sister, do you know the reason?"
Li Xuanru said with uncertainty, "I heard that today, there are cultivators frantically buying spirit herbs in Fantasy Spirit City. Moreover, they are buying spirit herbs that are over a thousand years old. They spent millions of spirit stones, causing the price of spirit herbs in Fantasy Spirit City to increase by ten percent."
Lu Ping was stunned for a while. Li Xuanru saw that Lu Ping was in a daze and thought that Lu Ping didn't understand, so she said, "The cultivation resources of our North Sea sects are already scarce, and it's rare for us to encounter this kind of gathering that only happens once in a hundred years. Therefore, every time there is an opportunity to participate in this kind of gathering, the cultivators of the North Sea sects will spend a lot of spirit stones to buy all kinds of rare resources."
Only then did Lu Ping regain his composure, but he still asked curiously, "How many spirit stones does our sect spend to buy spirit herbs? But even so, it shouldn't be to the extent of angering the dignified Laozu! "
"Of course it's not just that!"
A voice came over, and Enlightened Master Xuan Sen walked in from outside the cave with a very ugly expression.
After Li Xuanru and Lu Ping stood up to greet each other, Lu Ping chuckled and asked, "What Martial Uncle said just now, is there any other reason?"
Enlightened Master Xuan Sen glanced at him and said, "Do you know how many spirit stones our sect spends to buy the spirit herbs gathered in Fantasy Spirit City during this kind of gathering?"
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, and with a trace of embarrassment that was hard to detect, he smiled and said, "Since it's our sect doing it, it should be at least five million spirit stones!"
At this time, Enlightened Master Xuan Xu also walked out from Tian Qin Laozu's cave and said with a gloomy expression, "Five million? Hmph, fifteen million! If it weren't for the fact that the four great sects of the North Sea would be buying spirit herbs wantonly during these seven days, our sect might have spent even more spirit stones! "
At this time, Daoist Master Xuan Tian and the others also heard Daoist Master Xuan Xu and Daoist Master Xuan Sen's conversation with Lu Ping's group. Out of curiosity, they also walked over. Daoist Master Xuan Tian said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. It's no wonder that Martial Uncles are so angry. That person's actions cost our sect 1.5 million spirit stones. I'm afraid even a late stage Core Forging cultivator wouldn't have this much wealth."
Daoist Master Xuan Xu unhappily glared at Daoist Master Xuantian and said: "It's not just 1.5 million, the trading fair will last for seven days, after which the price of spirit grasses will rise again. At that time, it will be just these few spirit stones."
Daoist Master Xuan Sen also said: "Originally, the sects of the North Sea had a tacit understanding to secretly buy spirit grasses from the city. This way, it wouldn't be easy to attract the attention of the shops that supply spirit grasses. Even though the price of spirit grasses rose as the trading fair neared its end, the increase was still limited. Now that someone has stirred up the situation, the original tacit understanding between the sects has been broken. I'm afraid that each sect will go their own way, lest they end up with nothing in the end. Tomorrow, not only me and Senior Brother Xuan Xu, but also all of you must do your best to buy all the spirit grasses."
After Daoist Master Xuan Sen finished speaking, he took out a few storage pouches from his body and tossed one to each person. Lu Ping received the storage pouch that was tossed to him and opened it. There were two neat piles of spirit stones inside. One pile had a total of ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones, while the other had five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. The entire storage pouch contained a total of 1.5 million spirit stones. If Daoist Master Xuantian, second senior sister, and the rest of them were the same as Lu Ping, then the eight of them would have twelve million spirit stones in their hands.
At this time, Daoist Master Xuan Xu sighed and said: "In the past, the sect would at most spend ten million spirit stones to buy spirit grasses. Now that there is a large spirit stone mine in the North Sea and our sect has secretly occupied a medium-sized spirit stone mine, we originally wanted to be rich and imposing this time and take out an extra five million to buy spirit grasses. However, we encountered this matter, so let's all do our best. However, when buying spirit grasses, don't fall behind. Although there are dozens of Dharma Adept Laozu in this Fantasy Spirit City, there are many demons and humans mixed in the city. The water is very deep! "
Lu Ping put away the storage pouch and thought for a moment before asking: "Martial Uncle, the loss of millions of spirit stones is indeed distressing, but it shouldn't be enough to make an existence like Tianqin Laozu so angry. What exactly is the matter …"
Lu Ping knew that as a third generation disciple, it was indeed inappropriate for him to ask such a question, but his status in the sect was not much lower than Daoist Master Xuan Sen's, so he already had the right to know the sect's secrets. So, he sighed and said: "Today, Senior Sister Tianqin saw Xuan Ling Sect's Daoxuan Laozu together with Crystal Palace's Yuan Guang Laozu at the Fantasy Spirit Pavilion. The Fantasy Spirit Pavilion has already announced that this time, Xuan Ling Sect will be promoted from the third tier to the second tier among the twenty-five medium-sized sects."
Lu Ping's face turned cold. The two large spirit stone mines in the Fallen Secret Land were originally occupied by the twenty-five medium-sized sects in the overseas cultivation world. These twenty-five medium-sized sects were divided into five tiers according to their strength, and each tier had a different share of the spirit stone mines.
Originally, Xuan Ling Sect and Zhenling were ranked twelfth and fourteenth among the twenty-five medium-sized sects. They were both in the third tier, and each had a share of four percent of the spirit stone mines.
However, in the past hundred years, Xuan Ling Sect's strength had not increased much. Although they had gained Feng Xutao, they had also lost Dao Kong, and now Dao Shi was seriously injured. From the looks of Dharma Laozu, Xuan Ling Sect seemed to have regressed. If the rankings were to be rearranged, Xuan Ling Sect would not be able to enter the top ten among the twenty-five medium-sized sects. It would be lucky if they could even maintain their current position.
On the contrary, Zhenling had made great progress in the past hundred years. Not only had Tian Kang and Laozu advanced to the mid Dharma stage, but they had also gained Tian Lin, Tian Ling, and Tian Qin, the three Dharma Laozu practitioners. With their strength, it was only natural for them to enter the second tier and take five percent of the spirit stone mines. If it was not for the fact that Zhenling did not have a late Dharma Laozu, it would be reasonable for them to enter the top five and take six percent of the spirit stone mines.
In the past, Zhenling would have to fight and compromise to advance to the second tier, but with their strength, it would not be a big problem. However, this time, Xuan Ling Sect, with the support of the Crystal Palace, had joined the fray. This was not a good thing for Zhenling.
If two sects from the north sea applied to advance at the same time, it would inevitably give the sects from the east and south seas a sense of aggressiveness. If things went wrong, the sects might end up with no one being able to advance.
If that happened, Xuan Ling Sect would not suffer any losses. They did not have the qualifications to advance in the first place, but Zhenling would suffer a great loss.
Even if only one sect advanced in the end, with the support of the Crystal Palace, Xuan Ling Sect would most likely be able to push Zhenling away and enter the second tier.
In this way, no matter what, Xuan Ling Sect would not lose. On the other hand, Zhenling would most likely gain nothing in this gathering of all the sects and clans in the overseas training world.
No wonder when Tianqin Laozu saw Daoxuan Laozu and Yuan Guang Laozu entering and exiting the Illusionary Spirit Chamber together, and then heard the news, he was so shocked and angry.
In fact, the reason why Tianxiang Laozu had given the opportunity to represent Zhenling in this grand gathering to Tianqin Laozu, other than the fact that his own cultivation had indeed reached the late Dharma stage and he was unwilling to go out, was that he wanted to use this opportunity of Zhenling rising from the third tier to the second tier to give the credit to Tianqin Laozu, so that Tianqin Laozu could return to Zhenling with a halo.
How could Tianqin Laozu not know about Tianxiang Laozu's good intentions? But Xuan Ling Sect, with the support of the Crystal Palace, suddenly came out to disrupt the situation. This made Tianqin Laozu furious, but there was nothing he could do.
However, what the people in Zhenling did not know was that at this time, Xuan Ling Sect's Daoxuan Laozu and Crystal Palace's Yuan Guang Laozu were also at their wits' end.
After a long time, Daoxuan Laozu let out a long sigh and said, "Tianxiang is really good. I didn't expect that he could make Mei Xuanqin return to Zhenling at this time. Isn't he afraid that Mei Xuanqin and Liu Tianling will fight and destroy his Zhenling?"
Although Yuan Guang Laozu really did not care about the fights between these small sects in the North Sea, Xuan Ling Sect was an important chess piece for the Crystal Palace to conquer the North Sea. Therefore, he said helplessly, "This time, it is indeed beyond our expectations. Not only does Zhenling have four mid Dharma adepts, but it also has nine adepts in the Dharma stage. With such strength, if it still cannot be promoted to the second tier among the medium-sized sects, it will be too unjustifiable."
Daoxuan Laozu asked a little unwillingly, "Friend Yuan Guang, even if your sect intervenes, can't it stop Zhenling from advancing? Zhenling has been rising too quickly these years. If the benefits from these two large Spiritual Mines increase, then I am afraid the gap between our sect and Zhenling will only get bigger and bigger. "
Yuan Guang Laozu replied with some dissatisfaction, "The most fundamental reason for the rise of a sect is still the sect itself. External interference can only play a role in hindering it. In this grand event, the Crystal Palace still has to deal with the provocation of the boudoir on the large Spiritual Mines, so we have no time to care about other things. Moreover, this is originally a medium-sized sect's matter. If the Crystal Palace interferes too much, it will inevitably cause resentment among the other sects. "
Hearing Yuan Guang Laozu's words, Daoxuan Laozu couldn't help but feel a little dejected.
Yuan Guang Laozu was secretly a little disdainful, but he still said, "But don't worry, friend. Although this time Zhenling's advancement to a second-class sect cannot be changed, our sect will still try our best to support your sect's advancement. In this way, at least your sect's foundation will not be much weaker than Zhenling's. It's just that, fellow Daoist Profound, although my Water Crystal Palace is powerful, it is also a tall tree that attracts the wind. Whether or not you can completely suppress Zhen Ling Sect and make your sect the overlord of the North Sea, ultimately depends on your sect's own efforts! "
When Daoxuan Laozu heard that the Crystal Palace had already promised to fully help Xuan Ling Sect to advance to a second-class sect, he was already overjoyed. He smiled and said, "Friend Daoxuan, please rest assured. With the help of your sect, my Martial Nephew Lin Xuqing will advance to the Dharma phase within these two years. Martial Nephew Lu Xuheng is also about to condense a seventh-grade Golden Core. By then, our sect will definitely regain the upper hand in the North Sea."
Yuan Guang Laozu wanted to point out that if it wasn't for the help of the Crystal Palace, it would probably take another hundred years to advance to the Dharma phase. But after thinking about it, he didn't say it in the end.
The next day, Lu Ping carried the one and a half million Spiritual Stones given by Zhenren Xuan Sen to carry out the task of purchasing Spiritual Herbs for his sect. Just as he left the cave abode, a Sound Transmission Sword fell from the sky. Lu Ping held the sword in his hand and scanned it with his divine thoughts. His face instantly lit up.
