Chapter 832 Demon Hunting Conference

After more than a hundred years of development, the number of Ziyang Sect's golden elixir monks has increased by fourteen, and now there are thirty-seven golden elixir monks. The number of Zifu monks has increased by more than a hundred, exceeding three hundred.

In the past hundred years, Ziyang Sect has further expanded the number of people who practice Qi Yun Technique. The number of core disciples who have learned this magic has also increased by more than a dozen.

With the addition of more than a dozen monks who can refine the innate purple energy and the Ziyang Pill, the supply of Ziyang Pill has also increased a bit. It can be refined three times a year, and about seven or eight foundation-building monks have been added out of thin air. With the assistance of Ziyang Dan, and several chalcedony and golden zhi medicine gardens that have begun to mature on a large scale, the number of monks in the foundation-building period of the sect has reached more than 4,000.

In more than a hundred years, it should be able to surpass Yunxiao Sect.

The backbone of Ziyang Sect has increased a lot, and the annual expenditure has also increased year by year. Now the sect's income and expenditure have gradually balanced, and the annual balance is only about 10,000 to 20,000 spiritual stones.

However, after a hundred years of great development, the sect has accumulated more than 20 million spiritual stones and can sustain itself for a long time without the outbreak of a large-scale war.

However, if the Ziyang Sect continues to develop and the number of high-level monks continues to increase, the sect's finances will be unable to make ends meet.

At that time, there are only two ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Spending-saving strategies are not feasible. After living a good life, it is difficult for the sect monks to get used to the hardships. The only feasible option is to expand outward and find new ways to make money.

To the east of Ziyang Sect is the sea, to the west are Feixing Sect and Wuxiang Sect, to the south are the Southern Wilderness Monsters, and to the north are the Six Sects of Qi State.

Feixing Sect and Wuxiang Sect had previously signed a non-attack treaty with Ziyang Sect. As long as Ji Sanyin, Ren Tianqiong and other Nascent Soul monks were still there, it would be impossible for Ziyang Sect to expand from the west.

The Southern Wilderness monsters were originally enemies, but Qingyunzi and Yu Daoren had signed a peace contract with the Heavenly Wolf Demon Saint. Even the sixth-level spiritual vein of Poison Dragon Pond was assigned to the Southern Wilderness monster by the two ancestors of the soul.

After demarcating the boundaries, although the Ziyang Sect was powerful, they did not dare to provoke the Demon Saint of Heavenly Wolf and continued to seize territory in the Southern Wilderness.

The only one who can seize the direction of expansion is Qi Yunxiao Sect.

It is not easy to bite off a piece of meat from Yunxiao Sect.

The six sects of Qi State have a unified tradition of dealing with the outside world. Even if there is fierce fighting among them, a foreign sect that wants to invade Qi State is likely to be besieged by the six sects.

There are more than 20 Nascent Soul cultivators in the six sects of Qi State. Even the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty are no match for the six sects combined.

The most critical part of attacking Yunxiao Sect is to unite with Hezhong and divide and disintegrate the six sects of Qi.

It may take a long time to do this.

The territory cannot be expanded in the short term, and the suppression of the ancient demon is not Zhang Zhixuan's concern for the time being.

Although he has become a Nascent Soul and is already at a high level in the world of immortality, Nascent Soul cultivators are unable to intervene in such important matters that are related to the survival of a world.

There is nothing the Ziyang Sect can do about the ancient demon. It can only prevent nearby monks from approaching the ruins where the ancient demon is sealed, so as not to be deceived by the ancient demon and become the second Liang Rusheng. All monks who were three thousand miles away from the ruins of the Seven Star Sect were expelled by the high-level monks of the Ziyang Sect. Among the high-level monks who patrolled here all year round, there were five Jindan and sixteen Zifu.

For the Ziyang Sect, the top priority is to get rid of the demon Hu Yongqiu.

After delaying for a hundred years on the Demon Suppression Island, it was time for the Demon Hunting Conference again.

In order to deal with the enemy Hu Yongqiu, Zhang Zhixuan wrote a personal letter to Yu Wenhong, the great elder of Huangji Sect. Prepare to join forces with Huangji Sect.

One day, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan had just refined the purple energy, and Zhang Sihong came to their cave with a letter.

Zhang Zhixuan opened the restriction, let Zhang Sihong enter the cave, and asked: "Is there any news from the Huangji Sect?"

"Reporting to the leader, Elder Yuwen asked me to bring a letter. In the next demon hunting conference, five Nascent Soul monks from the Huangji Sect will participate, and the two Nascent Soul ninth-level monks will take action."

After sending Zhang Sihong away, Zhang Zhixuan felt some sudden worries in his heart.

"Qingchan, do you think Hu Yongchou will set a trap for us this time?"

Qing Chan said with a disinterested smile: "Even if the demon cultivator of Moyun Cave has laid a trap, it will be of no use if he is not as strong as a human. The Huangji Sect has dispatched five Nascent Souls for this battle, plus the five of us, Hu Yongqiu can even practice It has become a demon-turned-blood sword that even with three heads and six arms cannot resist."

"This matter should not be taken lightly. If Hu Yongchou recruits enough people in Moyun Cave, we may not be able to win if we underestimate the enemy, and we may have to suffer."

Qingchan sighed confidently: "There is a certain number of demon cultivators in Moyun Cave after all. In every demon hunting battle, Dazhou Yuanying accounts for the majority. Huang Ji Sect has two great cultivators fighting in this battle, plus you and me. People join forces. Even if Hu Yongqiu joins forces with several old demons, there is nothing he can do against us. We will definitely win this battle. You don't have to worry. Maybe you are under too much pressure during this period because of the ancient demon seal. I feel that there is always an unsolvable sadness in your heart."

Zhang Zhixuan gave a bitter smile and sighed: "Maybe that's the case!"

After establishing contact with Huangji Sect, another twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past twenty years, Ziyang Sect has discovered another small-scale spiritual stone mine. This small-scale spiritual stone mine is of good quality, and a top-grade spiritual stone was actually excavated. By borrowing this treasure, Han Yan also broke through the Nascent Soul bottleneck. Although she refined the life fetus and reached the stage of inducing the birth of the celestial phenomenon, her accumulation was insufficient and she ultimately failed at the most critical moment.

Fortunately, he was protected by several Nascent Soul monks and was not seriously injured, and he would be able to recover in thirty years.

Over the years, Tang Yisheng's cultivation has also been raised to the ninth level of the Golden Core, and he is almost at the final stage of condensing the Nascent Soul.

As the date of the Demon Hunting Conference is approaching, Zhang Zhixuan, Qingchan, Liu Lingjun, Liu Guyan, and Xia Youqing are teleported to the Great Zhou together.

Compared with 120 years ago, Qingchan's cultivation has been fully restored, Zhang Zhixuan has also cultivated to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul, Liu Lingjun to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul, Liu Guyan to the third level of the Nascent Soul, Xia Youqing to the second level of the Nascent Soul, Lingjun and Guyan have also refined the Purple Qi Xuan Gang spell, and their magical powers are far beyond the last Demon Hunting Conference.

In the Demon Hunting Conference a century ago, the Nascent Souls of the Ziyang Sect were all on the Demon Suppression Island to refine the ancient demons, so they naturally couldn't spare any time, but the last time the Great Zhou Nascent Soul still achieved some results and killed a demon Nascent Soul.

In the past two hundred years, six demon Yuanyings have died in the Demon Cloud Cave, and seven old demons have died of old age. There are only five new demons who have condensed Yuanyings in the past two hundred years, which is far from enough to fill the gap.

In the past two hundred years, the demon cultivators in the Demon Cloud Cave have lost eight Yuanying masters. The magic power and magical powers of the demon cultivators who have just condensed Yuanyings are also slightly insufficient. The overall high-level combat power has weakened by about one tenth.

After losing blood for two or three hundred years, I am afraid that the power of both sides will be unbalanced, and the demon cultivators in the Demon Cloud Cave will not be able to defend this place after all.

After the Ziyang Sect cultivators came to the Demon Cloud Cave, they soon waited for the Yuanying masters of the Huangji Sect. In addition to the great elder Yuwen Hong, the head of the Huangji Sect Guo Songren also came in person. He also carried a Yuanshen magic weapon on his body. With this thing, the Huangji Sect is confident enough to defeat Hu Yongchou.

Zhang Zhixuan took a quick inventory and found that there were about 200 Yuanying cultivators who came to this demon hunting meeting.

Under normal circumstances, Da Zhou Yuanying would only send out about a quarter of its manpower at each demon hunting convention. Compared with the demon cultivators of Moyun Cave, the numerical advantage was not that great.

This time, Da Zhou actually sent out half of its Yuanying masters, and even some Yuanying cultivators from the Southern Wilderness came to Da Zhou for the first time.

"After reconciling with the Heavenly Wolf and the Green Ape Demon Saint, Da Zhou's Yuanying can free up more manpower." Zhang Zhixuan thought to himself, and suddenly felt that he had a good chance of winning.
