Chapter 186 Compensation

After repelling the cultivators of Hongshan Sect, Taoist Jinlan did not prepare to counterattack immediately.

There were still few foundation-building cultivators of Qingxuan Sect in Chaoyin Mountain. Relying on only a few purple palace cultivators, they could not cause serious damage to the cultivators of Hongshan Sect who occupied the advantageous terrain.

Even if they were a little careless, they would fall into the trap set by the cultivators of Hongshan Sect, causing serious losses.

Moreover, the base camp of Qingxuan Sect was near the Southern Wilderness, and they could not give up all the spiritual veins of the Southern Wilderness to destroy Hongshan Sect at the northern foot of Duanyun Mountains.

Even if Qingxuan Sect drew out all its forces, it would be difficult to break through the mountain protection formation of Hongshan Sect, and it would cause serious casualties. At that time, it would be Nanlu Pavilion and Huanshui Sect that would get the advantage.

Moreover, Qingxuan Sect did not suffer no losses in this battle, because Lu Hongniang had also damaged some of her vitality due to He Zhenze's dying counterattack. She was already on the verge of forming a pill, and she did not dare to lose a lot of vitality at this time, so she could not participate in the next battle.

Moreover, Hu Peiyu was possessed by a Jindan cultivator, so Luo Hanying dared not show off again. After this battle, she had to return to Qingxuan Sect to guard the mountain gate.

Therefore, the purple mansion cultivators who could attack the northern foot of Duanyun Mountain Range next might still only be able to dispatch five or six people.

And the purple mansion of Hongshan Sect, even if Mu Huaishan was seriously injured and could not take action, still had only eight people. Therefore, after entering Duanyun Mountain Range in the north, the Qingxuan Sect cultivators are expected to take steady steps and try to weaken Hongshan Sect. Instead of doing a one-shot deal, they want to wipe out Hongshan Sect in one go.

After driving away the Hongshan Sect cultivators, the Chaoyin Mountain cultivators began to count the casualties and look for survivors.

In just half an hour after the Hongshan Sect cultivators attacked, more than half of the low-level cultivators of Chaoyin Mountain were killed or injured.

There were a total of forty foundation-building cultivators on the mountain, and twenty-three died this time, and more than ninety of the two hundred Qi training cultivators also died.

After the Hongshan Sect monks went up the mountain, they mainly hunted down the foundation-building monks, and only spent a little energy to find the people in the Qi training stage.

However, the foundation-building monks can release their spiritual consciousness, and some unlucky Qi training monks were still found. When Lu Hongniang and Hu Peiyu defeated their opponents, more than 90 Qi training monks from the five major families had been killed.

Compared with other families, the Zhang family had a slightly better luck, losing only eleven people, less than half of the casualties. Among the eleven people killed, there was also an elder of the ninth level of Qi training, that is, the seventeenth uncle Zhang Menglan.

The seventeenth uncle's spiritual roots were not very good. He finally cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty. He died on Chaoyin Mountain less than ten years after becoming an elder. He had bad luck in this battle. He was discovered by a Hongshan Sect foundation-building monk just after he hid. He was not an opponent in the fight and died miserably in the hands of the opponent.

Even the corpse was chopped into more than a dozen pieces, and it was no longer in human form. The surviving monks in the family could only barely sew up his remains and prepare to transport them back to Tiantai Peak for burial in the family cemetery.

Most of the family monks who followed Zhang Zhixuan to Chaoyin Mountain this time were monks of the Zhi generation, and basically they were monks of the middle stage of Qi training or above who had achieved some achievements in cultivation.

The family lost more than a dozen people at one time, and the backbone of the family had already lost some blood.

The last time the Zhang family suffered such heavy casualties was the battle of Xihefang more than 30 years ago. In that battle, nine people from the Zhang family died, including Zhang Mengquan, an alchemist who was very important to the family at that time.

The Zhang family has been unlucky for the past hundred years. Every 30 years, they will encounter a war, and many people will be killed and injured.

Thirty years ago, they were involved in the battle for Xihefang, sixty years ago, they were attacked by the enemy on Jiuhua Mountain, and ninety years ago, the monsters of the Southern Wilderness invaded, and the monks of the entire Southeast Three Counties were in chaos.

Every thirty years, they were involved in a war, and the backbone of the family had just grown up, and some people would die.

But the Zhang family is not the family with the worst luck. They now have three foundation-building cultivators and two foundation-building pills. They still have good luck for at least two or three hundred years.

The family with the worst luck is the Ma family who discovered the spirit stone mine. Although Ma Jimin barely escaped the encirclement with the help of Zhang Zhixuan and others, he was unlucky and his cultivation was not enough. He had just escaped the encirclement and soon met the Hongshan Sect cultivators. He was besieged by several Hongshan Sect foundation-building cultivators and soon died.

Although the Ma family discovered the spirit stone mine and mined some spirit stones, the family strength was not enough. Not only were the Liushou clan members in Jiufeng Mountain wiped out by the Hongshan Sect cultivators, but the cultivators stationed in Chaoyin Mountain also suffered heavy casualties.

Up to now, only sixteen clan members have survived from their family, and most of these clan members are elderly cultivators.

Even if the Qingxuan Sect rewards merit and bestows foundation-building pills, it is difficult for the Ma family's cultivators to successfully build a foundation. Without foundation-building cultivators stationed there, there will be no cultivators to protect the spirit stone mine, and the Ma family's shares in the Chaoyin Mountain Spirit Stone Mine will certainly not be kept.

Although this spirit stone mine was discovered by the Ma family, for this family, the Chaoyin Mountain Spirit Stone Mine is a disaster.

After the war, Patriarch Jin took Hu Peiyu back to the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate, and the remaining Purple Mansion cultivators temporarily stationed in Chaoyin Mountain, preparing to draw personnel and materials to attack Jiangkou County in one fell swoop.

In the past few days, Zhang Zhixuan's biggest concern is the reward after the war.

After the war, the Qingxuan Sect's Purple Mansion cultivators seized more than 60 storage bags of Hongshan Sect cultivators. Of course, the resources in these Hongshan Sect cultivators' storage bags will be taken out for compensation and rewards.

If the compensation and rewards are not generous, how can there be cultivators working for the Qingxuan Sect in the future?

Soon, the Qingxuan Sect issued a pension policy. Whenever a Foundation Establishment cultivator died in battle, the Qingxuan Sect would give a Foundation Establishment Pill to their family members.

Even if there is no spot now, Qingxuan Sect will issue a token. With the token, you can queue up in Qingxuan Sect.

Twenty-three foundation-building cultivators died in this battle. Except for Ma Jimin, most of them were from Qingxuan Sect.

Among these twenty-two Qingxuan Sect foundation-building cultivators, the families of four were just ordinary mortals. Although their families were taken care of by Qingxuan Sect, without cultivators, Qingxuan Sect did not need to grant foundation-building pills.

Qingxuan Sect only had ten foundation-building pills in stock, and the ten most prioritized people were granted on the spot, including the Ma family.

If the cultivators of the Ma family of Jiufeng Mountain can use this foundation-building pill to build their foundation, they can also keep the spirit stone mine of Chaoyin Mountain.

If the foundation-building fails, and there is no foundation-building cultivator to protect the spirit stone mine, they will lose their shares in the spirit stone mine.

Even Jiufeng Mountain, a third-level inferior spirit vein, will attract the envy of casual cultivators.

I'm afraid that the Ma family can only receive part of the reward from the Qingxuan Sect, give up their share of the spirit stone mine, and have all the family members join the Qingxuan Sect.

Their clansmen in the mortal world do not have the protection of the cultivators, nor do they have enough power to migrate to the vicinity of the Qingxuan Sect.

They can only change their surnames and take refuge under other families.
