Chapter 248 Staying in Chiwu for a While (Subscription Required)
The merit of Dingzhong ranks second to last among the fourth-class and twelve-level merits.
If Du En splits it into three Dingxia and exchanges it for the three rare flame flowers, it will be used up.
In this incident, the Chiwu Mountains collapsed, Chiwu City was almost destroyed, and it was also involved in the Phoenix Regret, Phoenix Blood Wutong, and the inheritance of the Tianshi Sect. As a result, it was only rated as Dingzhong, and there was no other reward. It must be said that this is really stingy.
"It is indeed unfair to lack rewards in the Southern Hub City, but from our point of view, the remains of the Phoenix Blood Wutong should be in your hands now, so I just argued for it and gave it to you against all odds."
The freshly-made resolution was conveyed.
Meng Changqing multitasking has become a daily routine.
Du En was not surprised by the matter of the tree heart and taproot of the Phoenix Blood Wutong, because the Falling Feather Immortal Sect knows it best, and this incident is probably monitored throughout the process.
So, after nodding, he asked again: "Have my magical powers been exposed to other True Lords?"
"No, Zhu Ding is on duty these days. That guy has bad intentions and actually destroyed that part of the record. Even I can't see the specific process. So, you have to be careful when facing him in the future."
Meng Changqing was very nervous about Zhu Ding's evil intentions and was full of bad words.
Want to dig my corner? No way!
Afterwards, he didn't hold on to this topic, so as not to leave too much impression on Du En, so he sighed and said: "The matter of the phoenix in the past is really regrettable and hateful. Obviously, as a five-virtue divine bird, He didn't want to get involved in the mess of the immortal gate hegemony, alas..."
"Isn't it because of the word Luo Yu?"
Du En's heart moved at this time, and he asked this question, intending to explore the upper-level secrets of Luo Yu Xianmen.
In the Sutra Pavilion of small border towns such as Nanmo, the collection of books and classics actually only has some basics. Once the level is involved, there will be missing or false information.
For example, in the Chiwu Mountains, he found out that there was a legend that a phoenix once lived there, but that was not the case at all.
Even Ren Li, who was able to look up the books in the city, only found out that the original tree species was said to have been bathed in the blood of the phoenix, which was equally vague and unclear.
"Of course not. The current name of our sect actually comes from the sect master, and has nothing to do with the phoenix and other sacred birds, although he did kill the phoenix, and that was the last phoenix in the world."
"Reverend Luo Yu?"
"...Supreme."
Meng Changqing seemed to sigh, with fear, and even deep hostility, which was revealed in his words without covering up, "Five great immortal sects, five supreme beings, the top of the world, and even the same level cannot defeat them."
Is that so...
Du En's eyelids closed slightly.
Meng Changqing mentioned it, as if he noticed his intention, and seemed to have mixed emotions about it, but in short, he didn't want to say more.
So after a moment, Du En chose to ask another question: "Speaking of which, the reason why Cui Wei suddenly acted this time was mainly because of the so-called rectification. Is this true?"
"No, they have been afraid of fighting for a long time and have become frightened birds, so they think that the Nanmo incident is a warning to the tiger, but it was not originally."
Speaking of this, Meng Changqing was a little unhappy: "Zhu Ding is taking the opportunity to propose that the south should be vigorously rectified next, so that this area, which has been dormant for a long time, can return to the previous "normal" state."
This rectification is obviously not something else, that is, the fear of fighting and avoiding war.
Although any normal person will have that kind of mentality, after all, who would be willing to be a cannon fodder and die if they are alive and well?
"If this matter really needs to be decided, we have to negotiate and pull it out to determine who is the leader."
Meng Changqing was in a bad mood.
Because he himself holds an extremely negative attitude towards the struggle for hegemony. If he is given the lead to rectify, he will definitely rectify the cruel persecution of the lower classes and so on, and will not care about cowardice and avoidance of war.
So it is obvious that other True Lords basically cannot agree to him taking the lead.
Since it will most likely be difficult to achieve the goal in the end, then let's drag it out and delay it.
He could only think so helplessly.
Du En nodded in understanding, and then, without saying anything, he wanted to end this contact.
"Wait."
Meng Changqing called a halt at this time: "In fact, there is one more thing. I just saw the candidates for the new city lord and new general manager of Chiwu City. None of them is a good thing. So next, you need to stay in Chiwu for a while and watch them, so that they will not act recklessly, suck the marrow from the bones, squeeze the cultivation power, and ensure that the city can be restored in an orderly manner."
Du En had no objection and responded calmly.
Because he also needed to stop and digest it, and the reserves of magic tools also needed to be replenished... Wait until he breaks through to the middle stage of the golden elixir before leaving.
Du En made a quick decision.
So he stayed in Chiwu City temporarily.
In the morning, the City Lord's Mansion was quickly cleaned up, and the Hub City also dispatched special personnel and special resources to start repairing the main veins of the spiritual land, so that the Chiwu Mountains could quickly recover to their original appearance.
Du En did not go there to get involved, but only moved around in the inner city, familiarizing himself with the repair and restoration of various places, so as to arrange the subsequent liver training.
For example, he would intervene in the refining places, practice venues, etc., so that they could recover faster.
At noon, Yunyi City urgently sent a batch of pills, which were specially used to deal with the half-corpse transformation. Not only the originally promised Quyin Pill, but also several other good pills such as recuperation and nourishment.
This was specially arranged by the great monk Yunyi after learning about the situation. The total amount was quite large, obviously exceeding the number of surviving monks in Chiwu City. It can be said that it helped this side a lot.
Under Du En's support and management, it was properly distributed to those who needed it. Those who didn't need it were not allowed to get it. Some people had great opinions about him, but they were helpless and didn't dare to show it.
In the afternoon, the new city lord and general manager arrived, Zhen Chenshi returned all kinds of authority, and the people sent by Shucheng also returned one after another, and there was no intention to stay in this remote place.
Du En was also present at this time, which put a lot of pressure on the three new successors.
After all, the previous three died in his hands!
With this pressure, the various tasks in the city can be carried out in an orderly and considerate manner, without being too strict and demanding that everything be restored to normal within a few days.
Everything was thriving, and Du En returned what should be returned to the warehouse and sold what should be sold, thus earning a reward of 100 high-quality spirit stones, and then asked the new city lord for a part-time job as a refiner.
Seeing that this old man was unwilling to leave, what could the new city lord and new steward do?
He could only force a smile and entertain him politely.
