Taiping Inn

These 360 ​​flying swords are all top-grade spiritual objects, made of good materials. The reason why they are not three-inch swords but two-foot long swords is that runes are engraved on the swords, sacrificing the long-distance flight of the flying swords in exchange for the ultimate killing power in a short period of time.

Qingwei Sect was originally the best sword-making sect in the world. When Qingwei Sect was not yet prosperous, it also made a living by selling and forging swords.

The warriors who traveled in the rivers and lakes lived a life of bloodshed. For them, three things were the most important, namely: skills, elixirs, and weapons. The skills depended on chance. Whenever a secret book was circulated in the rivers and lakes, it would always set off a bloody storm. Bailianfang mainly bought and sold various secret books. The elixirs are mainly from Miaozhen Sect and Donghua Sect, each with its own strengths. Miaozhen Sect mainly produces elixirs for saving lives, while Donghua Sect mainly produces elixirs for improving cultivation. These two types of elixirs are the most in demand by people in the martial arts world, and they have the best sales. Wenxiangtang is also involved in the elixir business, but it mainly produces various strange medicines, such as charming minds, bad people's cultivation, etc.

As for weapons, they should be viewed separately. There is an iron-making villa in Lingnan. In addition to ordinary weapons such as swords, guns and hammers, it also produces various strange weapons such as hooks, rings, thorns, claws, and even armor, bows and crossbows, hidden weapons, and even large and small mechanisms. It is all-encompassing and has everything. The business is very extensive. In comparison, although the hidden weapons of Tangjiabao in Shuzhou are better, and the poisons are also very good, they are only for their own use and rarely spread.

In addition to the iron-making villa, there is the Qingwei Sect in the past. The Qingwei Sect is famous for sword-making, including the affiliated sects under its name, which are also proficient in sword-making. To be fair, the swords of Qingwei Sect are far better than those of Liantie Villa. The flying sword in Shangguan Wan's hand comes from Qingwei Sect, which was custom-made by the geomancer at a high price. Although Qingwei Sect does not produce other weapons, which is a limitation, most people in Taoism use swords, and people in Confucianism also mainly use swords. In addition, Qingwei Sect has been passed down for many years and has a good reputation, while Liantie Villa is a rising star that has only emerged in the past hundred years, so Qingwei Sect's business is better than Liantie Villa.

However, after Li Daoxu took over the Qingwei Sect, he opened up the sea trade route, making the Qingwei Sect one of the most financially powerful sects in the world. Although the sword-making skills were still retained, they were no longer willing to make money by making swords, and gradually transferred the sword-making business to those vassal sects. For example, Lu Shizhen's Xianjian Villa took over many sword-making businesses from the Qingwei Sect. However, after Lu Shizhen was promoted to the deputy head of the Tianji Hall, the sword-making business of Xianjian Villa was transferred to other sects again.

The reason why the sword-making skills of the Qingwei Sect continued to improve and develop was because the Qingwei Sect relied on it for its livelihood in the past. If sword-making is no longer used as a livelihood, many skills will inevitably be lost over time. The most obvious change is that fewer and fewer Qingwei Sect disciples are willing to learn sword-making, while more and more Qingwei Sect disciples are willing to trade with swords. Several swordsmiths in the sect had reported this to Li Daoxu. In order to keep several important sword furnaces in the sect running normally, Li Daoxu decided to allocate funds from the sect, that is, to forge swords for himself. Compared with forging swords for others, the materials used and the effort spent are much better, and the quality of the swords is better. In addition to these swords being distributed to disciples, the rest are stored in the warehouse of Qingwei Sect for emergency use.

These 360 ​​flying swords came from the Qingwei Sect's storehouse. During the casting process, the refining method of putting living things into the furnace to alienate the steel with their blood and qi was used, so that blood threads like human meridians and blood vessels appeared inside the steel, also known as blood-marked steel, which is easier to infuse with qi, but the price is that the texture is more fragile, in exchange for greater power.

Because of this, although these flying swords are spiritual objects, they can be comparable to the power of treasures to a certain extent. It's just that normal treasures can be reused continuously, while these spiritual flying swords will be completely destroyed after bursting out the power of treasures once.

The only drawback of this method is that it costs too much money. Even the rich people of Qingwei Sect will not use it lightly. In fact, wars are fought with money. It costs money to raise soldiers, horses, firearms, ships, and various weapons and equipment. All of them are inseparable from money. Even sending spies to spy on intelligence still costs money. Therefore, among the major sects, the ones who can stand out and compete for the world are precisely the major sects that make money. If it were the previous Qingwei Sect, even if there were three earthly immortals in one sect, it would be enough to dominate the world, but it would not be enough to compete for the world. This was also the dilemma of Zaoge Sect at that time.

At the beginning, Zhang Jingxiu had already foreseen the weakness of Zhengyi Sect, but with the financial support of Cihang Sect, relying on the accumulated power in the past to intimidate the various sects, it was not obvious, so Zhang Jingxiu tried his best to promote the unification of Taoism and attack Beimang Mountain to maintain his reputation. After Zhang Jingxiu ascended to heaven, Cihang Sect's attitude became ambiguous. In addition, Zhang Jingchen's perverse behavior made Zhang Jingxiu's hard-earned face fall to the ground, revealing his weak inner self. Zhengyi Sect weakened at a visible speed and was difficult to recover.

On the other hand, Taiping Sect has always been a wealthy sect. After Li Xuandu became the sect master, he integrated the sect and quickly got out of the dilemma of being closed to the mountains and showed a rising trend. Not to mention compared with Qingwei Sect, at least it can be on par with Cihang Sect.

To govern a sect, don't talk about how high your realm and cultivation are, and don't talk about how deep your principles are. First of all, understand one thing, where the money comes from, and then where the money goes.

In simple terms, it is how to make money and then what to do with the money.

How to make money, the Butian Sect, Qingwei Sect, Wudao Sect, and Taiping Sect each have their own methods. As Mr. Bailu said, only the Confucian Sect still clings to the land and is the largest landlord in the world. The focus of the Taoist Sect has long been shifted to trade. There are also differences in spending money. The Butian Sect manages Liaodong and raises the Liaodong Iron Cavalry; the Qingwei Sect vigorously develops maritime trade and forms an invincible fleet; the Wudao Sect manages the northwest and the Western Regions and establishes a separatist country; the Taiping Sect has the shallowest foundation and does not have its own territory and army. It can only invest everywhere. In addition to borrowing money from Liaodong, it also helps the Yinyang Sect, Zaoge Sect, and Jingchan Sect rebuild their sects, allowing Li Xuandu to integrate the Taoist Sect. If there is no money in hand, why would Li Xuandu promise Lan Xuanshuang, Shangguan Wan and others.

In short, as long as there are enough manpower and material resources, it is not a problem to be a dragon comparable to the realm of immortality.

At this time, the dragon was severely injured, but Li Daoxu, the immortal earthly immortal of Qingwei Sect, had not yet made a move. Although both Lu Wushen and the dragon were weaker than people of the same realm, even so, the foundation of Qingwei Sect could be seen.

In addition to the 360 ​​flying swords, the 360 ​​disciples of Qingwei Sect should not be underestimated. Although their cultivation levels were uneven, the weakest one had the cultivation level of Xuanyuan Realm, mainly Xiantian Realm, and some people in Guizhen Realm. They used formations to make up for each other, and then Li Daoshi personally presided over it, so that everyone's strength could be perfectly gathered.

Although such means could not match those of immortals, they were better than Zhang Haishi, the great master of Tianrenzhihua Realm. They were similar to the desperate means used by Wang Tianxiao when facing Li Xuandu. The dragon was not as good as Li Xuandu, and had suffered a severe injury from Li Daoxu before, so it was naturally defeated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Su, Zhang Haishi, Li Feiyan, and Situ Xuanlue attacked the dragon together.

At this time, the recast giant sword has been broken into pieces, and this time the pieces are more thorough, turning directly into ashes, leaving nothing behind, or the only trace left is the huge wound on the dragon's neck. Countless dragon blood fell from the sky, like a fine blood rain. Li Daoshi, who had been prepared, took out a purple gourd, unplugged it, and collected all the dragon blood in it.

The blood of Lu Wushen is like magma, which can burn everything and is blazingly hot, but the blood of the dragon is not so terrifying. After being processed, it can cleanse the meridians and marrow. As for how to deal with it, it will be handed over to Donghua Sect. The ancients had a way, and the modern people must have a way, not necessarily the same way, as long as the goal is achieved.

The four people besieged the dragon. Although the dragon was severely injured, it was still fierce and fierce. However, in a blink of an eye, except for Qin Su, the other three were injured to some extent. Qin Su was not injured because the dragon was quite afraid of the "Liuyun Armor" and various talismans on his body, as well as the "Sanbao Ruyi" in his hand.

It is common to get injured because of fierce fighting. As long as it is not an irreparable serious injury, it is nothing. Therefore, Zhang Haishi and the other three did not stop and retreat.

The four people and the dragon fought fiercely. Because the dragon was bleeding continuously at the wound, it had to fight and walk.

Along the way, the roar of dragons resounded through the sky. The ripples of the vitality of heaven and earth were stronger than one wave. Countless escaped qi overflowed, creating a strange phenomenon of lightning and thunder and dark clouds covering the sun on the sky.

As for the earth, although it was not affected too much, it was sometimes rainy and sometimes windy. Finally, above the line where the dragon flew, frontal rain formed. Within a radius of ten miles, the rain and fog were vast, and the heavy rain poured down. The silver threads were almost connected into a line, strong and urgent, like a heavy rain in summer. There were some hail and winding lightning in it, which did not look like the early winter at all, but seemed to have come to the rainy summer.

The people hid in the house, saying that the climate this year was too abnormal, either there was a demon born, or it indicated that some disaster would happen.

In a blink of an eye, the four people chasing the dragon had left the territory of Lanling Prefecture and entered Langya Prefecture. The dragon still intended to return to the sea, and the four people naturally could not let it do so. Finally, in an uninhabited wilderness, Qin Su and the other four began to attack.

The dragon gathered the storm again, but its momentum was no longer as strong as before. Qin Su and the other four tried their best to fight with the dragon for the control of the heaven and earth's vitality, tearing the heaven and earth's vitality into pieces.

The huge storm was about to form but not yet formed. For a moment, the rain was silvery and the dark clouds continued to extend around, making the sky half bright and half dark. Tornadoes connected the sky and the ground, rolling up the rocks and trees into the air, like pushing up the mountains.
