If a mortal schemed against a Gu Immortal, what were the chances of success?
Even though Fang Yuan was rank five peak stage, he could not surpass the gap between mortal and immortal.
Fang Yuan was a Gu Immortal in his previous life, no mortal could have a deeper understanding of this gap than him.
Fortunately, in Fang Yuan's plan, he did not dare to fight a Gu Immortal alone. He wanted to borrow the power of 88 Point Zhenyang Tower. His previous life's precious experience gave him guidance, as well as the precious information provided by Land Spirit Langya, giving him more confidence in his plan.
This way, there was a twenty percent chance of obtaining landscape as before Immortal Gu!
Twenty percent was the highest among the three plans to save Dang Hun mountain.
Only Immortal Gu could resist gruel mud Immortal Gu.
With his five hundred years of foresight, Fang Yuan knew that there were only three Immortal Gu that could save Dang Hun mountain at this moment.
The first was earth path rank six Gu Immortal Sun Vinegar. The second was also an earth path rank six Immortal Gu, called Comeback Mountain.
The second was also an earth path rank six Immortal Gu, called Comeback Mountain. It was kept in Eastern Sea's Hai Shi blessed land.
The third was the time path rank six Immortal Gu Landscape as Before. This Gu had not been born yet, it was not formed naturally. Its owner, Tai Bai Yunsheng, was only a rank five Gu Master in northern plains.
To obtain petrification Gu, Fang Yuan would have to deal with Gu Immortal Sun Vinegar, who had been an immortal for more than ten years.
If he tried to obtain Comeback Mountain, the situation would be even worse, Fang Yuan would be under the watchful eyes of a group of Gu Immortals. Using the identity of a mortal to exchange for an Immortal Gu? This was no different from a child carrying gold and going to the black market.
Thus, the third plan regarding landscape as before Gu had the lowest risk and the highest possibility.
Even if Tai Bai Yunsheng became a Gu Immortal, he would only be a newbie Gu Immortal, he would not be familiar with attainment realms and qualitative changes.
Such an opponent would be much easier to deal with than the veteran Sun Vinegar and the group of Gu Immortals in Hai Shi blessed land.
…
Northern plains, twelfth month.
The snowstorm was getting stronger, the frequency increasing. Even without the wind and snow, pure white frost covered the entire northern plains. Even though the sun had risen into the sky, the blazing sunlight of the past had become weak and powerless.
The day of the Ten-Year Blizzard was getting closer and closer.
Tianchuan, Warm Pond Valley.
"Patriarch, this is the spirit spring C." Ma Youliang worriedly pointed at the spirit spring that had dried up to the bottom and introduced it to Ma Yingjie.
Ma Yingjie frowned deeply.
Spirit spring C was one of the three remaining in Warm Pond Valley.
Now that it had dried up, the only thing supporting the Ma family was the A and B springs. This was bad news for the Ma tribe.
Northern Plains' spirit spring was different from Southern Border's spirit spring.
Most of the Northern Springs had very little spring water. The spring mouth was narrow, and the water gushed out violently. The foundation was thin, and the duration was the shortest.
The East Spring was ample, the South Spring gurgled, the North Spring was vigorous, and the West Spring was pure.
In the southern border, a small to medium-sized tribe could continuously use a spirit spring for more than ten years. As long as the Spirit Spring of the Southern Border was not overexploited, it could be used continuously.
But it was different in Northern Plains.
Northern Plains' spirit spring formed quickly and also dispersed quickly. Adding on the intense war in Northern Plains, a small to medium-sized tribe needed at least three to four spirit springs to be able to support it.
After Ma Yingjie returned to the tribe, he became Ma tribe's new clan leader. Ma tribe failed to become a super force, and was now reduced to a small tribe. Even the huge Warm Pond Valley seemed empty.
Ma tribe had rations and water, and they had made ample preparations.
But spirit spring was a currency, and was an essential resource for Gu Masters to cultivate. Once the snow disaster came, places like Warm Pond Valley would become the last refuge.
Not only beast groups, but also other Gu Masters would come to rest.
As the landlord, Ma tribe not only had to resist the blizzard, but also had to negotiate with these people.
The Yuan stone produced by the spirit spring was the backbone that supported the Gu Master's battle strength. Now, one of Ma tribe's three backbones was broken. The weakened Ma tribe only had thirty percent of its strength left. Because the spirit spring C dried up, its confidence immediately dissipated by ten percent.
However, facing such a difficult problem, Ma Yingjie had no countermeasures.
If he had a 'river as before' Gu, he could immediately restore the spirit spring C to its original state, and this problem would be solved immediately. But Ma Yingjie did not have one.
"Lord clan leader, is the spirit spring really so important?" On the way back, Fei Cai asked.
After he returned to the tribe, as Ma Yingjie's savior, he was immediately released from his slave status, and was now a free man.
At the same time, he was still Ma Yingjie's personal attendant.
Ma Yingjie nodded with deep worry: "The drying up of a spirit spring has a huge impact on Gu Masters. And Gu Masters are the pillars of a tribe. Our Ma tribe not only needs Gu Masters as the main force to resist all kinds of disasters during the blizzard. And after the blizzard, we need Gu Masters' battle strength to snatch new resources and develop the tribe … "
Fei Cai gave an 'oh' sound, and asked while walking: "Then can we find a new spirit spring? I mean, look, our warm pond valley is so big, maybe there are more than three spirit springs. "
Fei Cai's words were filled with an optimistic spirit.
Ma Yingjie laughed bitterly: "Northern plains' spirit springs will indeed form in a short period of time. There might be a fourth spirit spring in warm pond valley. But this possibility is too low, almost impossible. You have to know, every time the ten year blizzard arrives, the spirit springs in all parts of northern plains will dry up and die. After the blizzard subsides, new spirit springs will appear in large numbers. At that time, all parts of northern plains will have lush water plants, and every hundred li, there might be a spirit spring. That is the best time for every tribe and every beast group to develop and strengthen. "
"So it's like this …" Fei Cai finally understood. He had lived for so long, but was still ignorant and not familiar with these situations.
"Ah!" Suddenly, he screamed and fell down from the roadside.
They were walking on the side of a cliff, but fortunately, it was not a cliff, but a gentle slope. Fei Cai lost his footing and rolled down the slope, letting out continuous screams.
"You …" Ma Yingjie was amused by Fei Cai's comical screams, and his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"You have no sense of direction, you don't even know how to walk now? Hurry up and climb up … Eh?! " Ma Yingjie suddenly stopped, his eyes wide open as he looked in disbelief at a brand new spirit spring gushing out from the gentle slope.
This spirit spring's mouth was originally covered by a mountain rock.
However, this mountain rock was knocked to the side by Fei Cai who was tumbling down. The spirit spring that was covered by the mountain rock was then revealed.
Very clearly, this was a spirit spring that had formed recently. Otherwise, Ma tribe's investigation before the war would not have missed it.
This spirit spring had a huge amount of water, and in a short time, over a hundred Yuan stones sprayed out along the spring water, landing on the surrounding ground.
"This, this is a new spirit spring, directly surpassing the A grade spirit spring!" Ma Yingjie was overjoyed, even his eyes were slightly red, "Is this the so-called extreme misfortune followed by happiness? Longevity Heaven above, this must be the blessing of the ancestors! "
"Clan, clan leader, I'm here!" At this time, Fei Cai rushed up with a grin, and after seeing the new spring, he also opened his eyes wide, "Strange, why is there suddenly a spring here?"
Ma Yingjie laughed loudly: "Fei Cai, you are the lucky star given to me by the heavens. From today onwards, you will change your name. Don't be called Fei Cai anymore. Fei Cai, trash, how can I, Ma Yingjie, have trash by my side? From today onwards, you will be called Hong Yun. Fei Hong Yun! This indicates the good fortune of our Ma tribe, extreme misfortune followed by happiness! "
However, Ma Yingjie was not happy for long. Seven days later, Hei tribe's army arrived and surrounded warm pond valley.
On the night that Hei tribe's army set up camp, the three spirit springs in warm pond valley turned into black water at the same time, completely polluted.
A letter to persuade them to surrender was then sent to Ma Yingjie.
Ma Yingjie did not expect that Hei Loulan had clearly obtained the final victory, but still did not let him go!
The spirit springs polluted by Gu worms could no longer produce Yuan stones, they were all useless. Although there were still Yuan stones in storage, Ma tribe had already lost the possibility of continuing to live in warm pond valley.
"To think that Hei Loulan would seek revenge for the smallest grievance! In his letter, he requested our Ma tribe to surrender. This does not violate the rules set by Giant Sun Immortal back then! Damn it, damn it! "Ma Yingjie clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger, hatred, helplessness, and powerlessness.
"Hei Loulan, known as the Black Tyrant, has always been violent and crude. It seems that he is wary of our Ma tribe because of the previous battle. But due to Ancestor Giant Sun's rules, he wants to place Ma tribe under his eyes and continue to suppress Ma tribe. "Ma You Liang sat paralyzed on the chair and analyzed with a low voice.
After a pause, Ma You Liang continued: "Actually, this is also not bad. Ma tribe surrenders to Hei Loulan, we can also enter Imperial Court blessed land. "
Ma Yingjie shook his head: "This is the sinister part of Hei Loulan's intentions. Ma tribe can enter Imperial Court, but what about the others? Let me ask you, in the current tribe, how many relatives surnamed Ma are there? "
Ma You Liang's face paled: "Only around one hundred and thirty people."
"That is correct." Ma Yingjie nodded with a heavy expression: "If our Ma tribe wants to expand, we need to recruit outsiders, we need to wantonly marry and have a large number of children. But as long as Hei Loulan gives an order, we are not allowed to accept outsiders, and will only be allowed to marry within our tribe. At that time, if our Ma tribe wants to expand, when will it be a matter of time? "
Ma You Liang's face paled even more.
He realized the severity of the problem.
Politics was dirty, and it was easy to make it so that one was not allowed to marry an outsider. Hei Loulan only needed a reason to maintain the purity of the Huang Jin tribe's bloodline, and then she could legitimately stop Ma tribe from expanding.
"Then what should we do?" Ma You Liang lost his idea.
Ma Yingjie was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth: "We will bestow the surname Ma to all outsiders, and accept them into our tribe!"
"Lord tribe leader, if we do this, I'm afraid that our Huang Jin bloodline will really …" Ma You Liang hesitated.
"We need to guard against this. The Huang Jin bloodline is the pride of our Ma tribe, it will not be tainted. If the situation improves, we can expel these people and strip them of their surname, "Ma Yingjie said.
