Immortal Mansion Longevity

Chapter 515 513: History of Despair! (Add more monthly tickets for this month!)

The city wall of Jin Ge Xiancheng is about 30 feet high and stretches for more than ten miles.

Inscribed on it are "Strength", "Relief", etc., and countless runes with different functions.

From a distance, it looks like a mountain, giving people an indestructible feeling.

Unlike human monks, monsters have huge bodies. It is not surprising that first-order monsters are several feet in size, and it is not surprising that second-order monsters are even ten feet in size.

Therefore, the "immortal city" used to defend against monsters must be tall enough and wide enough, otherwise the monsters can cross over with a single jump, and they will fall into a very passive situation.

The role of the fairy city will also be reduced a lot.

Walking on the spacious streets of Jinge City, Liu Yu glanced casually and found many traces of expansion and renovation.

Looking carefully, it is only about ten years ago.

However, although it is an expansion, with the energy of the three major sects, the city is now quite presentable, not just a show.

When Daoist Jindan went out, disciples from two sects opened the way early on. Unrelated monks could only step aside and look at the two daomen with awe-inspiring eyes.

Someone opened the way in front, someone followed behind, and monks on both sides watched from afar.

It has to be said that in today's world of cultivating immortals, the ostentation of Jindan monks traveling is indeed very grand, and Liu Yu has also experienced it.

However, the envious eyes of the low-level monks were meaningless, so the two moved forward very fast.

About half an hour or so, the majestic City Lord's Mansion is just around the corner.

Liu Yu looked at the City Lord's Mansion, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly, but didn't say much.

Perhaps because of the joint construction of the three sects, the City Lord's Mansion has mixed the characteristics of the three sects, which seems a bit nondescript.

But these are just sidelines, innocuous.

"Friend Qingyang, please."

"Pindao has sent a message. Presumably at this time, the other two fellow daoists are already waiting in the meeting hall."

Taoist Cangyun said with a smile.

"Please!"

Liu Yu arched his hands, and the two walked into the mansion together.

As for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment monks, they wait outside the City Lord's Mansion and are not eligible to participate in high-level discussions.

Looking at the disappearing back of his uncle, Yan Kai's eyes flashed with eagerness, he stayed where he was and had no intention of leaving at all.

He wanted to wait for Liu Yu to come out so that he could introduce the situation here.

It's still too dangerous for a foundation cultivator to stay on the front line of monster control like Jin Ge City.

When the time comes, monsters and beasts will flood the sky and cover the sky, and it is hard to hope to escape.

After all, the escape speed of most immortal cultivators cannot compare with birds and monsters of the same level.

"With my friendship with Uncle Liu, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a safer task, right?"

"As long as you can carry out the mission in a safer place and add your own cards, it shouldn't be difficult to save your life."

"It's time to take advantage of the chaos"

Thinking of this, Yan Kai felt much more at ease.

After so many years, he is not the young monk with blood surging.

It has become a piece of "hob meat" that cannot be cut or boiled.

……

Because of the positioning of Jinge City during the expansion, it is doomed that the city will not have too many redundant decorations, and everything will serve to resist monsters.

There are no pavilions, no palaces and towers, and after entering the City Lord's Mansion for a certain distance, the three characters "meeting hall" come into sight from afar.

"what?"

"It turned out to be this woman?"

Looking far across the threshold, Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat when he saw a familiar figure.

This female cultivator is wearing a yellow dress with a few golden flowers embroidered on it, showing her grace and luxury.

Her skin was snow-white, and there was a sharp sharpness between her brows, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

Zhuo Mengzhen was actually defeated by his subordinates!
But after dozens of years, this woman also broke through the bottleneck of Jindan and became a Jindan real person.

How sharp is the spiritual sense of the Jindan cultivator?
Almost at the moment when Liu Yu looked at him, Zhuo Mengzhen turned his head and looked over. When he saw clearly who was coming, his originally calm eyes suddenly changed!
Like a calm lake, a few stones are thrown into it, and ripples appear instantly.

The two stared at each other in emptiness, and neither of them wanted to lose their momentum, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant!

Taoist Cangyun immediately sensed that something was wrong, and with his rich experience, he immediately judged that the two might have had a feud in the past.

But when he rolled his eyes, for some unknown reason, he didn't pull up the fight immediately, but continued to walk into the house as if he didn't feel it.

After looking at each other for two or three breaths, Liu Yu smiled lightly and took the initiative to look away.

He walked into the meeting hall on his own, and sat down in a grand chair.

In any case, he was the victor in the battle at the Liujin Stone Mine back then, and he was on the psychologically superior side.

Even if you do nothing, you will have the upper hand invisibly.

Sure enough, not long after Liu Yu sat down, there was a cold snort.

"Humph"

Zhuo Mengzhen had a cold face, took a deep look at Liu Yu, and finally looked away.

Although she had never fought, she felt that she was at a disadvantage in the invisible confrontation just now, and was once again overwhelmed by the opponent.

This feeling made Zhuo Mengzhen extremely uncomfortable, and he almost couldn't help but want to make an appointment to fight immediately to find the place.

But fortunately, she has not been controlled by her emotions, and she did not do irrational things immediately,
But even so, this woman has made up her mind to find a chance to compete again, to shed the shame of the past!
As for the agreement to ignore past suspicions back then, Zhuo Mengzhen had long forgotten it.

At this time, when the golden core is complete, it is the time when she is full of confidence, and she must find an opportunity to wash away the stains.

"It's really a strong female cultivator."

Liu Yu could probably understand what this woman was thinking, and smiled secretly.

There is a saying that "people fight for one breath, Buddhas fight for one stick of incense".

Immortal cultivators have not completely lost their humanity, at least in the middle and low realms, so they also have emotions and desires, and are sometimes influenced by joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

It's too normal to get up because of drawing a sword in anger.

After all, not everyone looks at the world from the perspective of pure interests like him, and is rarely influenced by emotions.

"In the foundation building stage, you can defeat this woman."

"Could it be possible to turn around when you reach the golden core stage?"

"ridiculous!"

"A monk who is better than you and has more resources than you also works harder than you!"

Liu Yu didn't take the friction with Zhuo Mengzhen to heart, and if he refused to accept it, he would just suppress it again.

Then, he turned his gaze and looked at the last Golden Core cultivator in the room.

This is a rich middle-aged man, wearing a black gold-edged satin, with a round and protruding belly, and a greasy face.

At first glance, it looks like a secular outsider.

Sima Yong, the Golden Core patriarch of the Sima family, was at the peak of the early Golden Core cultivation.

He has a good reputation in the whole Chu country, and his best record is to kill a Jindan demon cultivator with his own hands.

Let the Sima family gain a firm foothold in Jin Ge City, and they can be regarded as the local snakes here, and they can be regarded as a tree with deep roots.

The moment he saw Sima Yong, Liu Yu's information naturally appeared in his mind, confirming his identity.

Seeing him looking over, the red-faced Sima Yong took the initiative to say hello and said with a smile:
"I've met fellow Taoist Qingyang, the old Sima family Sima Yong."

"In the future, we will guard Jin Ge City together. It is better to move around a lot. You are welcome to come to Sima's house to guide fellow Taoist Qingyang."

The patriarch of the dignified Jindan family spoke very politely at this moment.

Facing any one of the three major sects, even if his cultivation level was a little lower, he did not dare to be arrogant.

After all, behind the three of them, there is a huge sect backing them up, and the younger ones will grow old, but he is "lonely and lonely" and can't be provoked.

What's more, guarding Jin Ge City really depends on the three major sects.

"Good to say, good to say."

"Fellow Daoist Sima is too modest."

"I don't dare to give advice. If I have free time in the future, Liu will definitely come to visit and sit and discuss with fellow Taoists!"

Liu Yu bowed his hand in return and said with a smile.

The Sima family is the top snake in Jin Ge City, and they have a clear grasp of the situation in this area. If he wants to avoid being restrained, he must cooperate with the Sima family.

"As it should be, the old man is waiting for you at any time!"

Sima Yong nodded with a smile, and raised his wine glass as a signal.

The two drank it all in one gulp, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, thus reaching the first pleasant exchange.

"hypocritical."

Seeing this scene, Zhuo Mengzhen's face was slightly ugly, and he cursed inwardly.

A few months ago, Sima Yong communicated with her in the same way.

But Taoist Cang Yun looked at this scene without showing the slightest expression, as if he was not surprised at all.

If the Sima family wanted to gain a foothold in the area of ​​Jin Ge City, they naturally couldn't turn against any of the sects, nor could any of the three major sects get too close.

Otherwise, the catastrophe of genocide is in sight.

This point, Sima Yong has always done well, Cang Yun believes that this person will not cross the line.

"cough."

"Everyone, please listen to the words of the poor."

"We gathered here mainly to defend against the tide of monsters. At this time, we are already on a boat."

"Regardless of the little rift in the past, we should help each other in the future."

After getting to know each other for a while, Taoist Cang Yun, who is the highest in cultivation, coughed and said loudly.

From this person's point of view, it's not good that Liu Yu and Zhuo Meng are too harmonious, and it's not good if they are too tense.

It's best if the relationship is tense and not to the point of turning his face. It's in his best interests, and it's a good balance for several parties to take the initiative.

Therefore, he came out at the end to smooth things over.

"Fellow Daoist Cangyun is right, and we should do exactly that."

After the words fell, Sima Yong hurriedly followed.

As a local snake, he has a lot of interests in this area. This is the foundation of the Sima family. He does not want Jin Ge City to have problems.

The truth is indeed this truth, the four people unite with several forces to join forces, it is the most beneficial to defend the city, of course Liu Yu understands.

Facing the hordes of beasts surging out of the Hengduan Mountains, the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World has no advantage!

He is not a person who uses his emotions, so after a few breaths of silence, he nodded slowly.

And Zhuo Mengzhen still had a frosty face, but seeing that the three of them had reached an agreement, he could only nod in agreement.

But looking at the appearance of this woman, it is obvious that she still remembers the unhappiness of that year.

"Few fellow daoists can think like this, and the poor daoist is very pleased."

Between the words, Taoist Cangyun faintly regarded himself as the leader of the four.

Liu Yu remained calm on the face, but secretly sneered in his heart. He had seen every move of Taoist Cang Yun just now, and scoffed at his thoughts.

If the beast horde really came, would the forces obey their orders just because of their name?

At that time, it still depends on their respective strengths!
"But this is the complicated nature of human nature. Until the end of the mountain, the intrigue will never be forgotten."

"Myself, why isn't that the case?"

Liu Yu secretly sighed.

"Nowadays, monster riots are becoming more and more frequent. From the perspective of the poor, we can't sit still and wait for death, we must take the initiative to attack!"

"Before the beast tide takes shape, kill the monsters as much as possible to weaken the power of the beast tide."

Seeing that several people initially reached a consensus, Taoist Cangyun changed the subject and expressed his own opinion.

"In my opinion, this matter has to be discussed in the long run."

"What if when we send out monks to hunt monster beasts, there happens to be an outbreak of beast hordes, wouldn't we suffer heavy losses?"

"After all, when the beast tide will break out, no one can say for sure."

Hearing that he wanted to take the initiative to attack, Sima Yong immediately frowned and objected.

Unlike the Xiuxian sect, every member of the Xiuxian family with spiritual roots is extremely precious.

Even the five spiritual roots can be used to "sow seeds". After all, if one parent has a spiritual root, the possibility of the offspring having a spiritual root can be greatly increased.

Sent out to hunt monsters, whether they succeed or fail, there is a high probability that they will suffer heavy losses. He can't bear to part with his clansmen who are bound by blood.

That is, if one dies, one will be missing.

"It's really inappropriate for me to directly send my disciples or clansmen to hunt and kill monsters."

"If there are too many casualties, I am afraid that when the beast tide breaks out, the defense force will be empty."

"How about using casual training?"

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he expressed his thoughts.

Casual cultivators are extremely short of resources for cultivating immortals, so most of them are chasing benefits when they start their journey to immortality.

At this time, I dare not go into the mountains to hunt monsters, but because the risks of monster riots are too high, and the risks are not directly proportional to the rewards, so I hesitate.

However, if Jin Ge City gave up a part of the benefits, so that casual cultivators who could really hunt and kill monsters would be able to harvest more each time, which would definitely greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of casual cultivators.

There is no need to give up too much, just subsidize a few more spirit stones for each monster hunted, which is enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of casual cultivators.

"But casual cultivators seek good fortune and avoid harm. Hearing the news that the beast horde is about to break out, it's too late to stay away from the "Golden Ge Branch". How can they take the initiative to go into the mountains to hunt monsters?"

"Could it be, what does Fellow Daoist Qingyang mean?"

Sima Yong seemed to think of something while talking.

Before the three major sects settled in Jinge City, the city was under the control of the Sima family, so they often came into contact with casual cultivators and knew them best.

Therefore, when Liu Yu mentioned it a little bit, Sima Yong caught something vaguely.

"good."

Liu Yu nodded, then continued:

"These casual cultivators, since they can leave the Jin Ge branch because of danger, they can naturally come back here because of benefits."

"I just need to find a way to increase the harvest of hunting monsters in Jinge City, so I don't have to worry about those casual practitioners not being able to make it."

"For example, exempting the entrance fee, providing information on monsters, ensuring safety outside the mountains, and subsidizing some spirit stones for every monster hunted."

"There is no need for too much subsidy, depending on the rank of the monster, a few to a dozen yuan is enough."

"With such favorable conditions, there must be many casual cultivators who are tempted."

In an instant, he organized his language and spoke it out at a leisurely pace.

"This"

Sima Yong and Cang Yun looked at each other, slightly moved.

This is indeed a good way. It only needs to pay a small amount of spirit stones to make casual cultivators work hard. Both of them were a little moved after hearing this.

Although the three major sects are powerful and have many disciples, they also have many places to guard, so it is impossible to send too many monks to Jinge City.

The three major sects add up to more than 500 monks, and even including the Sima family, there are only more than 2000 monks.

If a monk like this goes out to hunt monsters in the city, even if he loses [-] to [-] in battle, it will be useless at all.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a good idea to spend a small amount of spirit stones to let casual cultivators use their lives.

When the big beast tide broke out, the five major sects of Chu State were willing to use their heritage. After all, they were so economical at ordinary times, didn't they just want to use it at critical moments?

Adjacent to the Hengduan Mountains, the five major sects all have a strong sense of crisis.

Occupying Nuo Da's territory, the benefits given to disciples are not generous, part of it is into the pockets of high-level officials, and part of it is indeed to deal with the beast tide that occurs once every thousand years.

So now, it is indeed time to use the inventory background, and the major sects have already made preparations.

"This old man fully agrees with Fellow Daoist Qingyang's opinion."

Unexpectedly, Sima Yong was the first to express his support.

Although the background of the Jindan family is far from being comparable to the three major sects, it is not a problem to tighten their belts and take out one hundred thousand spirit stones.

It's better than a lot of casualties among the bloodline clansmen from the very beginning, right?
The beast tide is not one or two waves. If you are unlucky, it is normal for it to last for dozens or hundreds of years. We must consider the long-term!

The spirit stone is gone and can be searched again, but the clansmen suffered heavy casualties, and it is not so easy to recover their vitality.

Sima Yong was very open about this point.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyang's plan is very clever, and the poor Taoist also agrees with this plan."

Taoist Cangyun nodded slightly.

In such a short time, he came up with a good solution, which made him look at Liu Yu with admiration.

"It seems that although this Qingyang is a new golden elixir, he is also a thoughtful person, definitely not an easy person."

Seeing the eloquent Liu Yu, Taoist Cang Yun had this thought, feeling that the initiative among the four was out of control.

But after all, this is a hastily thought up method, and there are still various loopholes.

Not surprisingly, Zhuo Mengzhen immediately expressed that something was wrong, and from all aspects, he only pointed out various loopholes in the strategy.

But criticism is criticism, and after some discussion among the four, Liu Yu's proposal was approved.

After all, apart from this method, several people couldn't think of a better method due to the constraints.

At the end of the meeting, the four re-divided the defense area.

The Qingxu faction is in charge of the east city, the Hehuanmen is in charge of the west city, the Yuanyang sect is in charge of the south city, and the Sima family is in charge of the north city.

Four forces, each responsible for a city wall.

In addition, each faction is in charge of a "satellite city" at a place closer to the "Golden Branch", that is, a hundred miles away from the east city.

Each satellite city is comparable in size to a gathering place for small cultivators, and is protected by formations.

The main purpose is to monitor the situation in the Hengduan Mountains and the movements of the monsters.

Yuan Yangzong is in charge of No. [-] Satellite City.

The four satellite cities are fifty miles away from the "Golden Ge Branch". Each city has fifteen foundation-building monks and hundreds of Qi-refining monks. It is difficult for ordinary first- and second-tier monsters to pass through the four satellite cities.

But once a demon beast in the demon core stage appears, it will be destroyed destructively.

Therefore, the guards of this city are all affiliated monks of the four major forces in Jin Ge City, and the monks of the four major forces' own families are the fewest, and they generally serve as team leaders to play a commanding role.

However, the satellite cities are tens of miles away from each other, so it is difficult to be destroyed at the same time.

Even if you can't defend, it is not difficult to send out an early warning message.

As for Jin Ge City, it is a full 150 miles away from the branch of Jin Ge, and it is also a hundred miles away from the satellite city.

Even if the beast horde breaks out suddenly, there is enough time to react. With such an arrangement, it is basically impossible to be caught off guard.

"Since that's the case, then follow the arrangement just discussed, and the poor have important matters, so let's go first."

After the discussion was completed, Taoist Cangyun received a sound transmission talisman, said a word in a hurry and left the conference hall quickly.

Without saying a word, Zhuo Mengzhen gave Liu Yu a cold look, and then left the meeting room.

"It seems that this woman is still brooding over what happened back then."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt a little headache.

He is not afraid of this woman, but he is afraid that when the beast tide breaks out, this woman will do some irrational things because of her past grievances.

For example, deliberately slowing down, deliberately opening the formation, letting monsters into the city and so on.

Hatred makes people lose their minds, and it can even last for hundreds of years. Liu Yu never underestimates hatred, especially the hatred of female cultivators.

"I hope it doesn't get to that point."

Looking at Zhuo Mengzhen's disappearing back, Liu Yu's eyes flickered coldly.

That is to say, the current situation is special, and it is not good for him to make a move in this sensitive period, otherwise it will be equivalent to weakening the strength of the city defense.

In normal times, I would never keep a hidden danger of hating myself, and I must find ways to eliminate the hidden danger!
"A troubled autumn."

"Ah~"

Sima Yong sighed heavily, his face showing some seriousness, but he didn't leave immediately.

"Oh?"

Liu Yu's expression was as usual, and he looked over with great interest.

"I have made so many preparations and thought of many strategies, but when the beast tide comes, will it really work?"

"Fellow Daoist Qingyang, what do you think?"

Worried about the family's future, Sima Yong's plump face unexpectedly showed a bit of worry.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the state of Chu was not adjacent to the Hengduan Mountains, nor was it the border between Tiannan and the Hengduan Mountains."

"And the two ways of righteousness and demons at that time were far stronger than they are now, and they were more prepared."

"But what's the final result?"

"Haven't the Liang Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, Beishan Kingdom and other countries lost successively?"

"Fellow Daoist Sima, don't be too optimistic about the outcome of this beast tide."

"In Liu's opinion, it's better to make preparations early."

Liu Yu said deeply.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Chu State was not the border between Tiannan and Hengduan Mountains, and there were more than a dozen countries in the north, such as Liang State and Jin State.

However, under the sweeping of the beast hordes, each country has become the territory of monsters, gradually evolving into the current pattern of Tiannan Xiuxian world.

It can be seen from this that a somewhat hopeless fact
Therefore, no matter how well prepared you are, it is a mistake to be overly optimistic.

After becoming a Jindan Elder, he was able to read most of the sect's classics. When Liu Yu found out the truth, he was also speechless for a long time.

Regardless of his eloquent and eloquent appearance before, it seems that he has a well-thought-out appearance. In fact, he is not habitually proactive and doesn't like being too passive.

How can the power of low-level casual cultivators effectively weaken the number of monsters?

Even if all casual cultivators are counted, compared with the endless monsters and beasts in the Hengduan Mountains, it is just a drop in the ocean.

It cannot be said that casual training has no effect, it can only be said that the effect is really poor, it is better than doing nothing and passively waiting for the arrival of the beast horde.

The four of them knew this very well, but it was just tacit understanding.

If they don't do anything, the morale of Jin Ge City will be weakened by half before the beast tide arrives.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyang is right, you really need to make preparations early."

"The Sima family is waiting to sweep the couch. Friends of the Daoist are welcome to come and give advice."

"The old man still has something important to do, so leave!"

Sima Yong cupped his hands, stepped over the threshold and soared into the sky.

Flying is not allowed in the fairy city, and violators will be severely punished, but Jindan Daoist is naturally above the rules.

Shaking his head, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze, and also walked outside the city lord's mansion.

He didn't have the strange idea of ​​"people are in the tower" at all, and if the situation was not right, he would immediately return to Qingzhou, or even Yuanguo.

Do your best.

Just like what I said just now, even with sufficient preparations, Liu Yu is still not very optimistic about Jin Ge Immortal City being able to hold on.

The Hengduan Mountains are beyond imagination!
But if he couldn't hold on, and Liu Yu made the decision to retreat to Qingzhou, the sect would have nothing to say.

He is already the elder of Jindan and can make some decisions independently. Except for the ancestor Tianfeng, who in the sect can definitely control him?

……

"I met Uncle Liu."

Seeing Liu Yu's figure, Yan Kai led more than a dozen Yuanyang Sect Foundation Establishment monks to salute from a distance.

This son's cultivation base has reached the peak of foundation establishment, and he is one of the best among the monks stationed in Jin Ge City in Yuan Yangzong, with a good prestige.

"Ah."

Liu Yu responded lightly, passed a dozen or so Foundation Establishment disciples, and walked straight to Nancheng.

He planned to inspect the area that the sect was in charge of first, and then listen to the opinions of Yan Kai and others before making more detailed arrangements.

"Master Qingyang"

"Elder Qingyang"

"Senior Qingyang"

The monks stationed in Nancheng include many disciples of Yuanyang Sect and some Qingzhou monks.

The news of Master Qingyang's arrival has already spread among the monks defending the city.

Seeing Yan Kai and other Foundation Establishment deacons from a distance, surrounded by an imposing senior, everyone naturally understood that it was Qingyang Master, so they saluted loudly from a distance.

With Elder Jindan here, even if he talks to other sect disciples, he will have more confidence.

In the face of these monks, Liu Yu was not too indifferent, and occasionally nodded his head, which made some small qi refining practitioners excited.

Walking around the city tower, Yan Kai and other Foundation Establishment cultivators followed suit, explaining some of the situation in Nancheng.

After inspecting Nancheng, he was quite satisfied overall.

"It seems that although Jinge City was expanded hastily, it is not a tofu project."

After trying to activate the city defense formation several times, Liu Yu nodded secretly in his heart after testing the strength of the formation.

That's right, no monk would dare to cut corners on such a life-and-death matter.

Otherwise, the pursuit of the three major sects would be enough to make any monk have no place in the Seven Kingdoms League.

"Master Uncle, there are currently 35 fellows sent by the sect to Jinge City in the foundation building stage and 500 in the Qi refining stage."

"In addition, the local cultivating forces in the Jinge City area also have monks who have been recruited to defend the city."

"At a critical juncture, Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment monks can increase by about [-]% and [-]% respectively."

"Uncle please give instructions!"

Yan Kaihui reports.

　PS: Kavin is stuck very badly, start with [-] today, and try again with [-] tomorrow.
