Chapter 5404: Food is the fundamental problem

After several major disasters, the art of refining in the human world has almost been lost.

Only some sects and schools have truly mastered the method of refining. And these sects and schools only know some simple methods of refining.

Only the dwarves can truly refine divine weapons, or even heavenly weapons.

The attainments of the Holy Fire Sect in refining are far inferior to the formation.

But the Holy Fire Sect occupies the largest gold and silver mountains in the human world.

There is a saying in the world of cultivation: gold in the west, silver in the east, stone in the north, grass in the south, and Ganoderma lucidum in the middle.

This saying describes the natural treasures in the human world.

Gold is produced in the west, silver in the east. Spirit stones in the north, exotic flowers and herbs in the south, and Ganoderma lucidum in the middle are the best.

The gold here is refined gold, and the silver is mithril, both of which are necessary medium materials for refining swords and magic weapons.

Almost all the refined gold and mithril in the human world are produced from the West Sea and the East Sea.

Most of the disciples of the Holy Fire Sect use magic weapons such as bones, and their knives are ghost-head knives, which have dark attributes.

As for the magic weapons of the Immortal Sword, the disciples of the Holy Sect rarely use them.

The materials used to refine each magic weapon are different.

The magic weapons of the Immortal Sword are mainly refined gold, secret silver, and gold, stone, and black iron.

The disciples of the Demon Sect do not use the Immortal Sword, which has led to the accumulation of a huge amount of refining materials for the Demon Sect over the past thousands of years.

They do not use these materials to refine the Immortal Sword, and it is absolutely impossible for them to flow into the market and be obtained by the righteous disciples.

Therefore, they circled an island in the depths of the West Sea to store these refined gold, secret silver, and black iron, gold, and stone for refining the Immortal Sword.

The island where the West Sea ancestor lives in seclusion is very close to the treasure island.

Long Tianshan has lived in the West Sea for a hundred years, but he actually forgot that there is a treasure house of the Holy Sect in the West Sea. This made Long Tianshan feel that he was a fool for the first time.

However, those are accumulated by all the sects of the Holy Sect, and it is not something that the Ghost Xuan Sect can take if it wants to.

In addition to the approval of the two holy envoys, Tuoba Yu also had to nod in agreement.

If it were before, Long Tianshan might have a headache.

After spending a long time with Ye Xiaochuan and Wang Keke, his style of doing things has also changed.

Now more than one-third of the scattered cultivators in the West Sea have joined the Ghost Xuan Sect.

Asking the West Sea Patriarch and others for help, it is not a big problem to get some refined gold and secret silver from the West Sea treasure house without anyone noticing.

The problem of refining weapons has finally been solved, which makes Long Tianshan in a good mood.

He walked towards the West Sea Patriarch and others, and the evil smile on his mouth made several old guys shudder.

The Black Mountain Old Demon said: "Hey, Tianshan, why are you smiling so obscenely?"

The world, Cangyun Gate.

Night.

Yu Jizi has been in seclusion for more than a month. Only Gu Jianchi knows that his mentor is not in seclusion, but has left Cangyun Mountain.

Gu Jianchi was worried because he had not been able to contact his master for more than a month.

Today, the court received news that the second line of defense of Niangzi Pass was captured by the army of the heavenly realm. The line of defense of Niangzi Pass was already in danger, and his master was not on the mountain. Gu Jianchi felt a little overwhelmed.

In recent years, he assisted Yu Jizi in managing the affairs of Cangyun Sect, and he did not have much time to practice.

His cultivation was not much stronger than ten years ago.

Unlike Yun Qiyou, who had already reached the peak of heaven in just ten years.

Not to mention Ye Xiaochuan, who had now reached the realm of immortality.

Gu Jianchi came to the ancestral temple in the back mountain.

Princess Tianyin played the piano at the door of the temple.

Since the departure of Gui Yatou and Xiaoqi, the artistic level of the ancestral temple has obviously improved by several levels.

In the past, at night, the two girls must have been drinking, playing finger-guessing games, and eating barbecue.

Now, the sound of nature is lingering, which makes the style of the ancestral temple go up in an instant.

Gu Jianchi had been to the ancestral temple several times during this period, and he was no longer surprised by such scenes.

He listened to the beautiful music, and the figure of the woman in white that he had been thinking about day and night appeared in his mind again.

Then he thought of his lifelong enemy, Ye Xiaochuan.

Thinking of Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou living together in the Sea of ​​Forgetfulness at this moment, Gu Jianchi clenched his fist.

Princess Tianyin, who was playing the piano, seemed to have sensed something and glanced at Gu Jianchi intentionally or unintentionally.

The rhythm of music can best sense the subtle changes around.

In the sound waves, Princess Tianyin felt the anger and unwillingness from Gu Jianchi's heart.

However, Gu Jianchi hid his emotions very well. Only Princess Tianyin felt a little through the music, and the big Xumi demon Xiaoyu sitting in front of the door with the carved spirit tablet did not notice it.

Gu Jianchi straightened his clothes, stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Senior, has my master come to the ancestral hall in recent days?"

Gu Jianchi is now second to none. He already knew that the old man guarding the ancestral hall in the back mountain was Yao Xiaofu's mother Yao Xiaoyu.

Facing such a big man, Gu Jianchi was very respectful.

Yao Xiaoyu didn't even raise her eyelids, but just shook her head gently.

Gu Jianchi was a little disappointed and glanced at the countless ancestral tablets in the hall.

He hesitated for a while, but still walked in. After burning three incense sticks, he respectfully withdrew and flew to the front mountain.

After Gu Jianchi left, Tianyin's piano sound turned soft.

She said: "This Gu Jianchi is not simple."

Yao Xiaoyu said: "Heart is high than the sky, life is thin than paper. Like his master, he is destined to end tragically."

Tianyin was puzzled, but did not ask.

She didn't belong to the human world, and she was an outsider in the heavens, and she never cared about the fate of others.

Gu Jianchi returned to the front mountain, and when he passed by the elders' courtyard, he stopped.

Then he walked in.

His mentor had not returned yet, and he wanted to discuss with Uncle Yunhe about the response of Cangyunmen if Niangzi Pass was lost.

As soon as he entered the back hall, he saw Meihezi, who was dressed in plain clothes, reviewing documents under the candlelight.

Seeing Gu Jianchi's late-night visit, Meihezi's surprised eyes slid across a trace of fiery flames.

She hurriedly got up and said, "Big Brother, why are you here?"

Gu Jianchi said, "I came to Uncle Yunhe to discuss the matter of Niangzi Pass. Is Uncle asleep?"

Meihezi shook her head and said, "Master and Taoist Chunyangzi went out to drink, and they probably won't be back tonight."

As she said that, Meihezi twisted her slender waist and poured tea for Gu Jianchi.

Gu Jianchi glanced at the charming woman under the candlelight, and his heart was inexplicably moved.

He sat down and said, "Meihezi, now the second most important line of defense of Niangzi Pass has been lost. What do you think of the future situation of the human world?"

Meihezi came over with tea and said softly, "Well, if nothing unexpected happens, all five lines of defense of Niangzi Pass will be lost within two months. This catastrophe is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the human world."

Meihezi's wisdom is far superior to others. Her exquisite mind and overall view are even inferior to Gu Jianchi.

Hearing Meihezi's pessimistic words, Gu Jianchi said, "Can the loss of one pass really affect the overall situation of the human world?"

Meihezi said, "If it is a conventional war, whether Niangzi Pass is lost or not will not affect the war situation. But the catastrophe is not a conventional war.

Once the heaven breaks through Niangzi Pass, it can march straight in.

The loss of territory in the human world is secondary, the most important thing is food.

The four major granaries in the human world are Liaobei, Guanzhong, Jiangnan, and Zhongyuan.

Liaobei has been lost, which makes the human world begin to be short of food.

Once Niangzi Pass is lost, the Zhongyuan granary will not be saved.

And with the fall of Niangzi Pass, Yumen Pass will be forced to give up.

The Guanzhong Plain will also fall into the hands of the heaven.

Of the four major granaries in the human world, three will become enemy-occupied areas in the next few months.

Without food, how can tens of millions of lives survive? Food is the biggest problem facing the human world in the future."
