Chapter 5041: Qingmen Methods
The cultivation of the strong man of Qingmen was not the highest among the crowd, and his combat power was not the most outstanding one, but the Qingmen behind him was good at using all kinds of poisons, and refining, making and applying poisons all required strong mental strength to cooperate.
In fact, Qingmen was originally a sect that focused on refining medicine, and the alchemists it had trained were very famous in the ancient wilderness.
At that time, Qingmen was based on saving people and did not participate in the fights between sects. However, when Qingmen developed to a certain extent, it made many sects jealous.
There are not only many rare prescriptions in Qingmen, but also various rare herbs are planted. In addition, each of those alchemists is a treasure coveted by other sects.
Finally, one day, several sects joined forces and directly attacked Qingmen. These forces have been planning for a long time in secret. Not only are the warriors they sent out powerful, but the division of labor is also very clear. Some are responsible for robbing, and some are responsible for killing.
Those with low strength or ordinary people were killed directly, and only those with a certain level of alchemy would be captured and imprisoned.
At that time, Qingmen had already reached the level of a large force, but because it only focused on training alchemists and excluded training warriors, the sect's combat power was seriously insufficient.
The only thing that could still resist slightly was the large formations in the sect. Because they all focused on spiritual practice, the sect also trained some rune formation masters and refiners, which allowed them to execute and arrange various formations.
In addition, the profit of refining medicine was very lucrative, which made Qingmen itself very rich. They spent a high price to invite the rune master to personally take action and arrange several powerful sect-protecting formations for Qingmen.
Because of the protection of these formations, Qingmen did not care too much about its own safety, and still concentrated on studying alchemy and training more excellent alchemists.
However, they overlooked a problem. On this continent, how could the top rune formation master be a completely independent existence. Besides, there is nothing in this world that exists outside of interests. They can spend a high price to invite the rune formation master, and naturally others can also spend a high price to invite.
Even if they couldn't come up with the money to invite the Grandmaster of Rune Formation, they could still exchange it with the proportion of the Qingmen division.
So on that day, the formation that Qingmen was proud of was either broken one by one or solved by the people who set it up in person.
If Qingmen hadn't rescued a big man from a super sect in the past, and the other party was grateful for this friendship and sent out masters from the sect when the sect was almost destroyed, there would be no such sect on Kunxuan Continent now.
At that time, the last group of people from Qingmen hid in the last formation of the sect, watching desperately as the defense formation was crumbling and about to break at any time.
At the last moment, the big man who was rescued that year led the masters from the sect to come, but he didn't want to completely tear his face with so many sects. After some negotiations, everything in the formation of Qingmen was saved.
As for the various resources that were plundered and the captured alchemists, they could be taken away by the other party, and Qingmen needed to ensure that they would not seek revenge in the future.
Faced with such humiliating conditions, the remaining people of Qingmen could only grit their teeth and accept them, in order to prevent the sect from being completely exterminated.
From then on, Qingmen became almost the bottom of the small forces, and this also made the sects that attacked it in the past gradually relax their vigilance.
On the surface, Qingmen still follows the past way, constantly researching alchemy and cultivating alchemists. Such a sect does not pose any threat in the eyes of those who attacked it in the past or in the eyes of other sects. Many people even think that it is better to let Qingmen continue to grow, and then rob them again.
In the midst of many people secretly coveting and secretly mocking, Qingmen has difficulty in redeveloping. It’s just that in addition to refining medicine, Qingmen also studied medicine, which can be regarded as a lot of good relationships. Although almost no one dared to stand up to help at the critical moment, some forces still lent a hand to Qingmen’s redevelopment.
The people who hid in the last defensive formation were all the most outstanding people in Qingmen in terms of medicine refining, and the most precious medicinal materials and prescriptions in the sect were also stored in their crystal storage and carried with them.
In this way, Qingmen's redevelopment seems extremely difficult, but in fact it still borrows the light of Qingmen in the past. According to common sense, the speed of Qingmen's re-emergence should not be too slow, but their redevelopment speed is very slow.
In the eyes of outsiders, after such a serious blow in the past, it is very difficult for the sect to start over again, and it is natural that it takes a long time to develop slowly.
In this way, Qingmen gradually grew and expanded again. This time it only developed into a medium-sized sect, and some sects could not hold back.
These sects are like a group of hungry wolves, and Qingmen is like a lamb that slowly grows fat under their noses. Originally, they wanted to wait for Qingmen to grow a little more and become a fat sheep before taking action, but they finally couldn't resist the temptation.
What happened before was just like what happened many years ago, when many sects secretly colluded with each other and sent people to seal off the outside of Qingmen. This time, they took action with the intention of completely wiping out Qingmen and completely wiping it out from Kunxuan Continent.
However, when they really started, they found that Qingmen was completely different from what they had known over the years. Qingmen seemed to have been prepared for a long time. When they were attacked, they responded quickly and everyone retreated to the inside of the sect.
The formations arranged in the sect were either forcibly broken or directly untied by the people who arranged the formations, just like many years ago, and almost no obstacles were caused to the invaders.
The real change was that many strong men broke into the inner gate area of Qingmen. The Qingmen disciples who had no resistance last time suddenly launched a counterattack this time, and the first move was the most ruthless means, using poison.
Maybe no one would be surprised today, but in those days, it was definitely an amazing change for the strong men who besieged Qingmen.
The Yao family of the Xuanwu Empire was once split because of an accident, and then the Yao family declined and the Yaomen rose. Zuo Feng's teacher in refining medicine, Yao Xun, also has a younger brother, Yao Tuozi, who turned from medicine and refining medicine to studying refining and using poison.
In fact, refining medicine and refining poison are two sides of the same thing, just like a coin has two sides. If you start from curing diseases and saving people, or assisting in cultivation, improving strength, etc., then what you are studying is refining medicine. If the purpose is to kill or torture people, then the same medicine can also be refined into a highly toxic substance.
Qingmen wanted to specialize in refining medicine and practice medicine at the same time. They hoped to survive in this way, neither relying on any forces nor offending any forces, but only focusing on developing themselves.
However, they forgot the truth that "a man is innocent but guilty of holding a treasure". Although they don't want to fight with other forces, the resources they have will make all the sects jealous.
Maybe the super sects will not be able to take action directly due to face, but those vassal forces will not be polite. Faced with such a great temptation, who cares whether Qingmen is good or evil with others.
Qingmen also deeply understood this truth after experiencing a catastrophe and was almost destroyed by many sects.
When Qingmen stood up from the ruins and gritted their teeth to start developing again, they were no longer the Qingmen of the past.
What outsiders saw was that Qingmen was still training alchemists, and they did sell a lot of medicines. But in fact, the real core disciples of Qingmen, or those who could reach the intermediate alchemist level, almost all began to concentrate on studying poison refining and poisoning methods.
This is why the process of Qingmen's redevelopment was very slow, because their goals were completely different from those of Qingmen at the beginning.
They knew that some sects were secretly plotting against them, but they deliberately pretended not to know, just silently preparing everything, and only took out the prepared "surprise" when the other party couldn't help but take action.
Those sects that launched the attack were also well prepared, such as some powerful formations that were quietly arranged, or quietly training a group of warriors who didn't know how to make medicine, etc.
However, they never thought that those alchemists who looked like immortals, who were obviously weak on the surface, were cruel and vicious when they took action.
Whether they had personally experienced the catastrophe of Qingmen or had heard about what happened back then, they all hated the enemy in front of them and used all kinds of poisons.
In an instant, poisonous smoke and fog filled the core of the sect. Even those with stronger cultivation could temporarily resist these poisonous smoke and fog with their strength, but their own strength could not be exerted to 50% of the usual level.
On the other hand, the people on the Qingmen side seemed to be like fish in water in this poisonous smoke and fog. Not only could they move freely, but they could also use the poisonous smoke and fog to release more terrifying poisons.
The survivors recalled that there were three large forces, twelve medium-sized forces, and more than thirty small forces that attacked Qingmen that time.
There were about three thousand people who broke into the inner gate area of Qingmen, and less than a hundred people were able to escape alive. And these hundred people returned to their respective sects, either died of chronic poison attacks, or their cultivation was abolished, or they were left disabled, not only unable to practice, but also unable to fight with others again.
From that day on, Qingmen was recognized by the entire ancient wasteland again, and no sect dared to provoke Qingmen easily.
Whether it was refining medicine in the past or turning to researching poison refining later, the reason why Qingmen was so powerful was related to their unique spiritual practice.
Now this Qingmen strongman was the first one to think of a way among all people, and was also the first to try to further integrate soul power, consciousness and telekinesis with the power of rules, and to use the power of rules to condense a clone.
If you just condense your soul power, consciousness and telekinesis into a clone, you can't do much in the iceberg. But once you use the power of rules, the situation is completely different. At the moment when the clone condensed into shape, the Qingmen strongman felt that he seemed to have mastered at least one-tenth or one-twelve of the power in this space group.
