Chapter 183 Removal Plan
Gongsun Zhi thought to himself that the current situation of the Spirit Beast Sect was no longer something he could solve.
He had to rush back to the Yunshui Sect as soon as possible to discuss with the Sect Master and explain the interests involved.
Gongsun Zhi bowed slightly to Cao Rui: "Fellow Daoist of the Spirit Beast Sect, you are right. I am Meng Lang. I have something important to do, so I will go back first."
Cao Rui naturally did not stop Gongsun Zhi from leaving.
Waiting for the reaction of the two sects.
What is coming will come.
Watching Gongsun Zhi leave, Cao Rui took out his Lingyin jade pendant and contacted the Sect Master Lu Jiuxiao.
......
But Gongsun Zhi flew all the way, did not return to Yinshui Market, but went straight to Yunshui Sect.
The Wu family was Gongsun Zhi's hidden chess piece arranged in Xiao State. A female cultivator of the Wu family married Gongsun Zhi as a concubine.
The Wu family thought they had a thigh and turned to Gongsun Zhi, but they did not expect that they would end up being exterminated.
A few days later, Gongsun Zhi returned to the gate of Yunshui Sect in a dusty state. He did not stop at all and went straight to meet Gu Qingying, the leader of Yunshui Sect.
"Gongsun Zhi, why are you not staying in Yinshui Market and rushing to the gate?" Gu Qingying, who came out of seclusion, was a little dissatisfied, and glared at Gongsun Zhi with a pair of beautiful eyes. Since being completely defeated by Lu Jiuxiao last time, Gu Qingying has been practicing hard in seclusion and rarely shows up.
For Gongsun Zhi, this period is also not easy. As the master of refining weapons in the sect, he can't even decipher a small 0-level magic weapon of the Spirit Beast Sect, which makes him hit hard.
What's worse is that the business condition of Yinshui Market is not good, it has been in a loss-making state, and even needs the sect to subsidize funds to maintain operations. These problems make Gu Qingying feel annoyed and disappointed.
"Master, this matter is of great importance, I have to come back to tell you in person." Gongsun Zhi said. His voice was anxious with a hint of worry.
Gu Qingying frowned slightly, staring at Gongsun Zhi, as if she had sensed the seriousness of the matter. She slowly asked, "What's the matter?" Her tone was calm, but it contained unquestionable majesty.
Gongsun Zhi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Signal tower!" These three words were like a boulder falling into the water, which aroused Gu Qingying's vigilance.
"The Spirit Beast Sect has recently been arranging a signal tower that can spread the communication range of the Lingyin Jade Pendant." Gongsun Zhi continued to explain, his expression was serious, and his eyes flashed with worry.
"In my opinion, this kind of signal tower is extremely harmful." Gongsun Zhi's voice became low, full of worry about the situation.
Then, he described in detail the layout of the signal towers and how they quietly covered the entire Xiao Kingdom.
He emphasized that if no response was made to this matter, the entire southwestern region of Yunzhou would sooner or later be annexed by the Spirit Beast Sect.
As a master of refining, Gongsun Zhi had a deep understanding of the Lingyin Jade Pendant.
He knew the great potential of this communication tool, especially its low price made it affordable for even the lowest-level cultivators.
It was precisely because it could be widely spread among low-level cultivators that the threat of the signal tower became more serious.
By then, people who used the Lingyin Jade Pendant would form a communication network, and Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple would either choose to be assimilated or be excluded.
Finally, Gongsun Zhi concluded: "The emergence of the signal tower will change the communication pattern of the entire cultivation world. If we fail to take action in time, the consequences will be disastrous."
If one day the signal of the Lingyin Jade Pendant can cover the entire Yunzhou, even Gongsun Zhi himself would be tempted to use the Lingyin Jade Pendant.
"What about your Yinshui earrings? Can't you keep up with them? Set up a signal tower belonging to your Yinshui earrings to expand the communication range?" Gu Qingying asked back.
Gongsun Zhi shook his head: "This method won't work, Sect Master. I've estimated that it would cost at least thousands of spirit stones to set up a signal tower like this. I don't have that many spirit stones, and recently all the spirit crystals on the market have been bought up. Without spirit crystals, it's impossible to build a similar signal tower."
Gu Qingying relentlessly scolded: "Gongsun Zhi, you are a master of refining. I heard that the spirit sound jade pendant of the Spirit Beast Sect has begun to make a profit."
"Your sound water earrings, the sect has to allocate tens of thousands of spirit stones to you every year."
"The income from the market is also completely below the standard."
"What on earth do you do for a living?" Gu Qingying pointed at Gongsun Zhi and started scolding him.
Gongsun Zhi's face turned red from scolding him, but he had no reason to defend himself.
His sound water earrings have reached the limit, the price is thirty spirit stones, and he even sells them at a loss to prevent the outflow of casual cultivators.
He couldn't imagine how the Spirit Beast Sect could construct two perfect 0-level magic arrays and subtle runes on a jade pendant with a cost of only three spiritual stones.
After cursing, Gu Qingying knew that the sect had to step in now.
Otherwise, if the Spirit Beast Sect was allowed to grow and become the next Spirit Ship Sect, then the southwest of Yunzhou would be barren, so where would the Yunshui Sect survive?
Gu Qingying took out a communication array and contacted the current abbot of Miaoyin Temple, Zhishen.
"This communication array is indeed quite inconvenient."
"I find it inconvenient to use it in the foundation-building stage, and those low-level cultivators can't afford the communication array at all."
"The Spirit Beast Sect has seized a good opportunity."
Gu Qingying's thoughts flashed in his mind, and Zhishen connected the communication array on the other side.
An old monk with a hundred beards appeared on the communication array.
Zhishen, the abbot of Miaoyin Temple, has reached the tenth level of foundation building and is over 200 years old.
He is the oldest among the three major sect leaders.
Although he is not as powerful as Lu Jiuxiao, he has many tricks, and Lu Jiuxiao is not sure that he can kill him in person.
"Fairy Gu contacted me, why?" Zhishen narrowed his eyes and looked at the beautiful face on the communication array.
Gu Qingying took a breath and told the story.
The more Zhishen listened, the more serious his expression became.
At the end, he said Amitabha.
"I have heard about this Lingyin jade pendant a long time ago."
"The Lingshou Sect is going to use this small 0-level magic weapon to drive Miaoyin Temple and Yunshui Sect out of the southwest of Yunzhou."
Gu Qingying nodded slightly: "Master, what do you think we should do?"
Zhishen said: "The Lingshou Sect must remove the signal tower of Xiaoguo."
"I am afraid that the Lingshou Sect will not surrender easily." Gu Qingying frowned.
"Xiaoguo is a land without an owner. We will send monks to dismantle the signal tower by ourselves, and the Lingshou Sect will not be able to say much."
"Fairy Gu, your two sects and I will each send people to Xiaoguo to implement the removal plan."
"All the signal towers in Xiaoguo must be removed without leaving a single one."
"As for the reaction of the Lingshou Sect later, you and I will bear it together. Lu Jiuxiao will not be stupid enough to go to war with both of us at the same time." Zhishen said slowly.
