Chapter 231 Future Plans, Changchun Sect Relocates?
Secret mission?
Mi Keer and Jing Xiao'a stared at Han Jihai with wide eyes.
Han Jihai was also stunned after hearing this. Why didn't he receive the mission?
Seeing the eyes of the two disciples, Han Jihai showed an unnatural look on his face.
But he still looked at Lin Chen with an inquiring look.
Lin Chen paused and said:
"The situation in Yanlai Realm is not very good after all..."
"The old demon with blood pupils established the Nether Kingdom, and he has the intention of gathering the world's demon cultivators and subverting Qingzhou. It's like a tiger."
"For a tiger, how can it allow others to sleep soundly beside its bed?"
"Therefore, even if the ancestor and the old demon with blood pupils signed an agreement, the Nether Kingdom may eventually destroy Changchunmen... After all, it's too close."
After hearing this, Han Jihai and others nodded.
Who said it wasn't?
The original base camp of the Demon Sect was hundreds of miles north of the Spirit Beast Sect.
Later, it occupied the Purple Smoke Territory and the Kingdom of Mist, which was almost within reach of the Yanlai Territory.
A few years ago, the Demon Sect stopped moving south and turned west.
In just a few years, it advanced 30,000 miles!
Now the territory of the Nether Kingdom is the best in the entire Qingzhou.
Even the territory of the Wandering Sect is not so vast.
Strictly speaking, the real territory of the Wandering Sect is only the Wandering City under its feet.
It’s just that the Wandering Sect is too strong and is the leader of Qingzhou.
Therefore, the Three Wandering Cities were established outside the Wandering City. The Three Cities of Heaven, Earth and Man are 90,000 miles long and wide.
But the vastness of the territory of Qingzhou is more than hundreds of thousands of miles long and wide?
The Three Wandering Cities still only occupy the core area of Qingzhou.
In the four regions of southeast, northwest and northeast, countless Jindan and even Yuanying forces are intertwined.
But so far, as far as Lin Chen knows.
The one with the largest territory and the strongest development momentum is still the Nether Kingdom and the Demon Sect!
"So... what task did the ancestor assign you?" Li Zhenqian asked curiously.
Lin Chen glanced at him and slowly said:
"Grandmaster, there is an idea to move the sect!"
"Since Changchun Sect is too close to the Demon Sect...then just run away!"
"Move to the Three Wendao Cities, or even directly to Wendao City!"
"No matter how arrogant that old demon with blood pupils is, he won't dare to attack Wendao City directly, right?"
After hearing this, Li Zhenqian's eyes lit up.
Yes!
Can't you run away if you can't beat him?
As long as you move to Wendao City, you don't have to worry anymore!
The other younger brothers and sisters, such as Zhou Tieshan and Mi Ke'er, also nodded slightly, seeming to agree with this idea.
Only Master Han Jihai looked worried.
"My dear disciple...moving the sect is a big deal, and Grandmaster made such an arbitrary decision?"
In the world of cultivating immortals, people value moving to their native land.
After the sect is established, it will be passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Most sects will not easily move away even if they face the disaster of extinction.
This is a strange mentality, which Lin Chen does not understand, but it is consistent with the thoughts of most cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.
Especially the older cultivators, the more they feel this way.
Perhaps it is because the sect has the meaning of "country" in the eyes of cultivators.
A sect is a country.
The destruction of a sect is like the destruction of a country...
Most cultivators would rather live and die with the sect.
They would rather die than flee their homeland...
In addition, moving the sect is also a big deal.
Not every place is suitable for building a sect.
The land of a sect must be at least a hundred miles in radius.
Spiritual veins, medicine gardens, spiritual energy of heaven and earth...
All kinds of trivial matters cannot be completed without ten years of investigation and decision-making.
If it is just a family relocation, hundreds of people, it may be much simpler and can be completed within a few years.
But there are thousands of inner and outer disciples in the sect, and they have reproduced for generations.
If the families and relatives of those disciples are counted...
I am afraid there are more than 100,000 people.
For example, Changchun Mountain Market, there are only a few thousand cultivators in the town, but the population is no less than 100,000.
Most of them are descendants of the sect's disciples and elders.
If the whole sect wants to move away, what should those descendants do?
Foundation-building cultivators may be able to travel tens of thousands of miles.
But for mortals, they are only a few hundred miles away from home in their entire lives.
There are too many variables!
"So, Chen'er... are you sure that the ancestor has the idea of moving the sect?"
Han Jihai frowned and asked.
"Of course not..."
Lin Chen responded silently in his heart.
He had roughly guessed the ancestor's idea.
Sending promising disciples in the sect out and letting them go to the city of asking questions is naturally to keep the disciples alive and retain some living forces for the sect.
This means that the ancestor is ready for the destruction of the sect at any time.
At the beginning, the storage bag that the ancestor gave him was the best proof.
Millions of spirit stones are enough for Lin Chen and others to practice for a long time.
Perhaps, after the sect has a new Nascent Soul cultivator, Changchun Sect can be rebuilt, right?
Lin Chen sighed in his heart, although he has reached the Nascent Soul.
But his cultivation cannot be exposed for the time being, and his ambition is not like this.
Therefore, in the past two years, Lin Chen has thought a lot.
His idea is to leave some foundation for the sect to cultivate new Nascent Soul cultivators.
In this way, it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Changchun Sect.
Although he thought so in his heart, Lin Chen could not say it directly.
Lin Chen nodded affirmatively and said:
"Of course, the ancestor told me personally!"
"Moreover, the ancestor gave me a large amount of spiritual stones... just to buy some industries in the city of Taoism."
"In the future, if the disciples of the sect move here in batches, we will also have a place to stay."
"As for the address of the sect's relocation, we can only slowly look for it and plan it slowly..."
After saying that, Lin Chen handed over the storage bag that the ancestor had given him.
After Han Jihai took the storage bag and saw the skills, magic weapons, and spiritual stones in it, he believed most of it.
It is not a trivial matter to establish a sect in the Central Region of Qingzhou.
The most important thing is to get the consent of Taoism City.
For thousands of years, there are countless Yuanying who want to establish a sect in the Central Region.
But there are very few who can achieve their goals...
The selection of the sect's territory, the occupation of spiritual veins and medicine gardens, all require a large amount of funds and complicated procedures.
For most sects and families, being able to buy some industries in the three cities of Taoism is already very good.
Lin Chen then said:
"Master, in my opinion, we have just arrived, so we can't set our goals too high."
"First, purchase some industries in Wendao City, so that future disciples of the sect will have a place to stay..."
Hearing what Lin Chen said, Han Jihai had no reason to refute.
He nodded and said:
"According to the current situation, this is the only way..."
"Well, the master is not good at management... Let Chen'er take care of the industry."
After that, Han Jihai handed the storage bag to Lin Chen again.
"Yes, Master." Lin Chen nodded.
Although the ancestor did not give this matter to Han Jihai.
But Lin Chen still had to give the master face.
Lin Chen silently calculated in his heart. He had lived in Wendao City for several years before.
He was quite familiar with the industries and prices in the city.
The permanent residence permit of Wendao City costs 100,000 spirit stones.
But this permanent residence permit is a certificate that allows free entry into the upper and lower urban areas.
If you only enter the Lower City, it will be much cheaper, only 10,000 spirit stones per person.
But even so, it is not very realistic to want all the disciples of the sect to enter the Wendao City.
Lin Chen's current idea is to purchase two houses in the Upper City, and then purchase a few shops.
Even so, it is extremely expensive.
A two-entry house in the Upper City, with a slightly better location, is also more than 500,000 spirit stones.
As for the shops in the market, they are even more expensive.
If you want to buy the cheapest one, you need at least one million spirit stones.
So, the millions of spirit stones given by the ancestor can only do this.
Lin Chen thought for a while and asked:
"Big sister, how many years have you lived in the city... How many disciples do we have in Changchun Sect in Wendao City?"
After listening, Mi Ke'er thought for a while and said:
"About a dozen people, all of whom have come to Wendao City in the past few years, most of them are guarding the gates of major forces... not much better than my situation and that of my third junior brother."
Lin Chen nodded after listening.
There are more than a dozen sect disciples, most of whom are Jindan cultivators, and at least they are in the late stage of foundation building.
If these people can unite and open a few shops, it would be good.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen said:
"Master, tomorrow we will go to the city's pawnshop first, buy two houses, and then set up a few shops and medicine gardens."
"We must unite the sect disciples first... otherwise the people's hearts will be scattered."
Hearing this, Han Jihai nodded and said:
"Okay, then the matter of purchasing the industry is left to you."
"I have some reputation in Changchun Sect. Tomorrow, your senior sister and I will go to gather the sect disciples."
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.
After a meal, everyone returned to their residences.
Late at night, Lin Chen received a voice transmission from Jiang Liqian.
"Brother Lin, have you rested?"
"No." Lin Chen replied, and then opened the door to let Jiang Liqian in.
After Jiang Liqian came in, she sat casually on the chair and asked:
"Brother Lin, what you said during the day... I'm afraid it's not what the ancestor meant?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said:
"As expected of you, you are Sister Jiang. These words deceived them... but you can't deceive you..."
Jiang Liqian chuckled and asked curiously:
"What did you say today, Brother Lin?"
"According to Sister, it is extremely difficult to leave the vortex of the two paths of good and evil and come to this city of Taoism... Brother should encourage cultivation and focus on the avenue."
After hearing this, Lin Chen sighed and said:
"Alas, it's not that easy..."
"I am different from Sister. I have lived in Changchun Sect since I was a child, and it has been more than 20 years... It is impossible to say that I have no feelings."
After hearing this, Jiang Liqian nodded. It is not a bad thing for a cultivator to have something to care about.
She also admires such Lin Chen, although she has persuaded Lin Chen many times.
But if Lin Chen abandons the sect, teachers and friends, Jiang Liqian will look down on Lin Chen.
Unlike Lin Chen, Jiang Liqian is not a complete Changchun Sect disciple.
She may have only temporarily lived in Changchun Sect for decades before, without using the sect's resources.
In Lin Chen's view, Jiang Liqian may have paid some price before leaving, and she owes nothing to the sect.
Jiang Liqian thought for a while and asked:
"Then Senior Brother Lin, if Changchun Sect is really destroyed... Senior Brother, do you plan to take up the banner of the sect and dedicate your life to the sect?"
