Chapter 1674 The Good Show is About to Begin
Since Lin Chaoci showed so much confidence, Xiao Xun'er would not bring up the matter again and again to annoy others. After all, they were both people with good intentions. They might need guidance from others, but they definitely did not need others' pointing fingers. What they pursued in everything was to stop at the right time. One reminder might be well-intentioned, but ten reminders showed that she was not at ease. Although their relationship would not be affected, if it was obvious that it would make the atmosphere awkward, there was no need to say it if they did not want to make it awkward.
However, just sitting there and drinking tea is not the right thing to do.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, Xiao Xun'er immediately brought up a topic that could be discussed further, asking, "Speaking of which, the situation in Zhongzhou has been quite chaotic recently. I heard that the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Tianyao Phoenix Clan are fighting each other, and the battle is difficult to resolve. Considering the timing, could it be related to you?"
"To say there is no connection at all would be a lie."
"You wouldn't believe it either."
"However, to say that all the responsibility lies with me alone is obviously an exaggeration."
Lin Chaoci shrugged.
Then, he would not stop until his words shocked the world.
He calmly explained, "I simply gave Feng Qing'er the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. Feng Qing'er was able to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and evolve into the Supreme Dragon Phoenix in one leap, all thanks to her own efforts. As for the subsequent bloody battle between the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, it was because the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan could not accept a future without a Supreme Dragon Phoenix. Furthermore, they could not accept that this Supreme Dragon Phoenix was a member of their mortal enemy, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan. Therefore, based on the philosophy of destroying it if they couldn't obtain it, they took the initiative to provoke this war. It can be said that I had no role in any of this. I simply decided the beginning of the story."
Hearing Lin Chaoci's sophistry.
Xiao Xun'er took two or three seconds to digest this fact.
Then, he immediately laughed out of anger.
If you ask if there is anything wrong with Lin Chaoci's sophistry, there really is none. After all, if what Lin Chaoci said is true, all he did was sow a seed of unrest. No matter how great the impact of this seed is in the future, Lin Chaoci cannot be blamed. Everything is caused by the subjective intentions of later generations.
But the problem is, put yourself in their shoes.
If she was from the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan.
Seeing Feng Qing'er, who belonged to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, evolved from a Heavenly Demon Phoenix into the Supreme Dragon Phoenix by swallowing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, they would also be unable to sit still and would launch a siege. They would not dare to bet on whether Feng Qing'er would destroy the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan in the future, because the upper limit of the Supreme Dragon Phoenix is extremely high, and the lower limit is also extremely high, directly targeting the human race's Dou Di strongmen.
To put it bluntly, it's like a gun.
When both people are unarmed.
Even if you know that the other party will most likely not aim at you and pull the trigger after getting a gun, you will not give the gun to the other party, nor will you hand over your fate to others.
So, this is a dead end.
There is only one way to break the deadlock.
That is, Lin Chaoci destroyed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
of course.
Another possibility is that Feng Qing'er failed to absorb it.
However, the former is something Lin Chaoci can interfere with, but the latter is something he cannot interfere with. Lin Chaoci is only handing the future fate of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Tianyao Phoenix Clan into Feng Qing'er's hands, letting Feng Qing'er make the choice. It seems that the responsibility is on Feng Qing'er, but in fact, what should be most concerned about is that Lin Chaoci's act of giving Feng Qing'er the right to choose is the greatest unfairness.
"cunning!"
After laughing for about four or five seconds, Xiao Xun'er finally calmed herself down.
Rolled his eyes.
He commented slowly.
Then, he changed the subject and inquired, "Do you have a grudge against the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan... or do you want to weaken the power of the Beast Clan?"
"I have no grudge against the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."
"I never thought about weakening the power of the beastmen."
"In the final analysis, it's just a coincidence."
“Just the right time.”
“Just the right spot.”
“Just the right relationship.”
Lin Chaoci spread his hands and asked, "Under the circumstances at that time, if I hadn't stepped forward to intervene, not to mention that the rules were like that, those Taixu Ancient Dragons and Heavenly Demon Phoenixes present would not have been able to pick the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. Instead, because no one could pick it, they would have returned to their tribe to call for more helpers. From only a few Dou Shengs vying for it, it would have become dozens of Dou Shengs fighting in a circle. The situation would have been more likely to get out of control, the storm would have undoubtedly been greater, and the uncontrollable risks would have instantly exploded. In short, even if they could pick the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to consume it. Consuming it in battle is no different from seeking death. Staying calm is the most basic requirement. I could certainly turn a blind eye, but if this unstable factor had exploded, I wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed. Considering that I had met and talked with Feng Qing'er before and had a good impression of her, I also helped her. As for whether she could seize this opportunity, it is obviously her own business!"
"Alright alright."
"I wasn't there at the time anyway."
"Whatever you say makes sense."
Xiao Xun'er complained helplessly.
In fact, in her opinion, Lin Chaoci did this purely because he was fearless, just like when she first came to the Xiao family, the other party fearlessly threatened her. Because the two sides had different perspectives, the other party did not care about many things that were more precious in her eyes, and the definition of the value of many things was completely different.
This kind of example is also very common in reality.
For example, a gold coin.
In her eyes, a gold coin was just an ordinary thing.
It's no different from a dollar.
The kind that she wouldn't even bother to pick up if it fell on the ground.
But for ordinary people, a gold coin is equivalent to their income for half a year to a year, just like ten thousand yuan thrown on the ground. Not to mention it is not dirty, even if it is dirty, there will be a lot of people willing to pick it up. After all, the value of face is determined by the person, but money in your pocket is really heavy. Only when you live a good life can your face be valuable. Otherwise, you will lose your face without anyone else's help. However, money is more of a macro definition. In essence, it is still a kind of strength.
Therefore, in the extraordinary dimension of Douqi Continent.
The most important thing is to have strength.
As for money...
Now that you have the ability, how much money does it cost?
Just like the big forces in Zhongzhou.
There is no need to talk about one palace, one tower, two sects and three valleys.
Let’s just talk about Sifang Pavilion.
Take the Xingyun Pavilion, which Lin Chaoci is more familiar with, as an example.
One cabinet governs dozens of empires.
The area of each empire is no smaller than that of the Gama Empire.
Many empires are larger than the Gama Empire.
Not to mention their strength. Every empire has a Dou Zong in charge. Compared with the Gama Empire, if the two empires really go to war, it will take less than three days for these empires under the rule of Xingyun Pavilion to annex the Gama Empire. Note that this is in a one-on-one fight.
And these empires are of great significance to Xingyun Pavilion.
The positioning is merely the production site of gold mines and disciples.
Every year these empires have to pay a certain amount of resources to Xingyun Pavilion as protection fees. Of course, although the term "protection fees" is straightforward, it is too vulgar and sounds unpleasant, making Xingyun Pavilion seem like a bandit collecting tolls. So on the surface, these resources are often given to Xingyun Pavilion in the form of friendly sponsorship, or when the deputy pavilion master Feng Xian celebrates his birthday, the various empires below choose to compete to send gifts. As long as the lower limit is not too low, Feng Xian will generally give face and say that this year's offerings will be waived, so that the people in these empires can have a good year. In fact, the resources that should be collected are not reduced. After all, the usual offerings have long been dispersed and injected into the gifts. It's nothing more than a change of name to make it sound better.
Most of the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion were recruited from these empires, although there were also a large number of outsiders, because Xingyun Pavilion was still young, the backbones who followed Yao Lao and Feng Xian to start the business were not dead yet. Even if there were those who had too many hidden injuries, they all had descendants. As the saying goes, those who planted trees will enjoy the shade. There were quite a few people who stayed in Xingyun Pavilion to develop, which attracted the attention of many cultivators who wanted to join the sect. However, the specific ratio was at most 46. Generally speaking, it was more common to maintain 37. That is to say, if ten disciples were randomly selected from Xingyun Pavilion, only three to four would be independent cultivators from all over the world, and the remaining six to seven would be citizens of the empires under the jurisdiction of Xingyun Pavilion. They were the result of the most outstanding geniuses being selected layer by layer, similar to the Hundred Dynasties War in the Wudong plane. Only the geniuses who held on to the end would have the opportunity to join the eight super sects, and this was just one of the Dongxuan domains.
As for so many local geniuses joining Xingyun Pavilion.
Will there be a day when Feng Xian, the deputy leader, will be sidelined?
The upper echelons of the Xingyun Pavilion.
Stop exploiting the empires below.
joke!
If we don’t exploit these empires, what will the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion eat and drink?
Do you drink northwest wind?
The disciples of Xingyun Pavilion do not engage in production.
Are the monster meats they eat all hunted by themselves?
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head.
When these local geniuses became disciples of Xingyun Pavilion.
The way they look at the problem becomes from the perspective of Xingyun Pavilion.
Let me ask, how many people in this world are willing to sacrifice themselves for others?
The stronger the monk.
The higher the realm.
This means that more resources are invested.
Take Dou Zun as an example.
The level of Dou Zun rises by one star.
That is a small realm.
They are equivalent to the total savings of an empire for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It is no longer a legend that a seventh-grade elixir can buy an entire country.
But it is the real reality.
Otherwise, Yunshan wouldn't have had to seek medicine and turn to the Soul Palace.
The Yunlan Sect’s savings are not much less than those of the Jiama Empire.
But he couldn't even afford a sixth-grade pill.
Of course, it is because of the alchemist code, which is the unspoken rule in the alchemist world. If you want to refine a pill, you must bring three times the raw materials, or even more. But whoever dares to lower the price will be the enemy of all alchemists and will destroy everyone's jobs. What's more, the alchemist himself has a guaranteed success rate. If three doses of medicinal materials cannot be refined, no matter what the alchemist does, he must come up with a pill that meets the conditions. If the skills are not good enough, it will easily become a loss-making business. It is equivalent to a betting contract, not a predatory treaty. This kind of bottom line is what most cultivators pursue. After all, no alchemist will destroy his own reputation. Although ordinary cultivators really have no way to deal with it if the alchemist defaults, if the alchemist continues to default, the business he can receive will become less and less. Therefore, for most alchemists, it is not easy for them.
Including many alchemists in Xingyun Pavilion.
There have been similar examples.
The worst-off one was a Dou Zong elder.
A sixth-grade alchemist.
Back when he was a fifth-rank alchemist, he failed to refine pills with three doses of medicinal materials. He had no choice but to buy the herbs out of his own pocket to refine the medicine. He failed seven times in a row and his family's wealth was almost drained. He had no choice but to join Xingyun Pavilion and buy on credit from Xingyun Pavilion. He borrowed a pill that a customer needed and passed it off as a pill he refined himself, thus meeting the customer's needs. He worked in Xingyun Pavilion for more than five years before he paid off his debts. However, it was a blessing in disguise as he was noticed by the Medicine Master of that time and received some guidance, thus becoming a sixth-rank alchemist.
Therefore, the value of elixirs is not calculated by multiplication, but by square. A second-grade elixir cannot be exchanged for two first-grade elixirs, even if it is exchanged for ten first-grade elixirs, it is a loss, especially the seventh-grade elixir. This is a very clear watershed, because the seventh-grade elixir has a probability of giving birth to spiritual intelligence, the eighth-grade elixir can even transform into a human, such as a kitten or a puppy, and the ninth-grade elixir can transform into a human, as shown by the ancestor of Danta.
So, on the road to transcendence.
The higher you go.
The more resources you invest.
So, when it became obvious that the farming trend was not working.
The only remaining path is plunder.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
To ruin someone's future is like killing his parents.
Therefore, when an oppressed person becomes a rentier through his own efforts, he will instinctively choose to maintain this rentier system.
Protect the interests that you have worked hard to obtain.
Therefore, it is impossible to oppose.
As for the overhead, it is even more wishful thinking.
If Dou Zun is willing.
It can destroy a country in one blow.
A country like the Gama Empire can be flattened and wiped off the face of the earth by just a simple move from Lord Feng. In terms of individual combat power, its individual strength is much greater than that of a mushroom bomb.
It is completely comparable to the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Directly change the ecological environment.
Therefore, the growth of Xingyun Pavilion depends on its foundation.
But the core of Xingyun Pavilion only has two people.
Medicine Venerable and Wind Venerable.
As long as these two people don't die.
Xingyun Pavilion will not collapse.
Even if the disciples below object.
At worst, kill them all and start over.
Even a demonic sect like Huangquan Pavilion can survive.
Xingyu Pavilion just likes the lawful camp.
It's not that you can't change jobs.
Therefore, Xiao Xun'er could particularly understand Lin Chaoci. She even speculated that perhaps the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was just an ordinary fruit in Lin Chaoci's eyes, no different from the apples and pears that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. At most, it contained a little more energy. Just like she didn't feel sorry for giving Lin Chaoci an apple, Lin Chaoci wouldn't feel sorry for giving Feng Qing'er a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
of course.
This is just speculation.
Also just chatting.
The current focus is still on the cancellation of the engagement.
"The fun is about to begin."
"I can't be absent either."
Looking at Lin Chaoci's back as he said goodbye and left.
Xiao Xun'er thought thoughtfully.
