The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 371 Xia Wu
At the same time, in another corner of the battlefield outside the territory, Xia Wu, a monk of the Shenhuo Sect, was also desperately looking for Li Qingning.

Xia Wu was born in a long-established cultivator family in Huoyun Prefecture. He was also an inner disciple under Lu Youde, the grand elder of the Shenhuo Sect. one of them.

Although Xia Wu's combat power is slightly inferior to his senior brother Ai Wen, but as a top-grade wood spirit root monk, his strength is already considered to be the best among all the inner disciples of the Shenhuo Sect.

According to Xia Wu himself, if it weren't for the fact that Ai Wen, a master with the highest fire spirit root aptitude, happened to be among the disciples of his current qi refining period, the title of direct disciple of Elder Lu Youde should have belonged to him!

The difference between inner disciples and direct disciples of Shenhuo Sect seems to be only in name, but the treatment in the sect is very different.

After all, the cultivation resources mastered by monks in the Nascent Soul stage are limited, and most of the cultivation resources still need to be invested in their own cultivation, and the remaining resources that can be used to train disciples are very limited.

From ancient times to the present, there have been very few people who have successfully ascended to immortality. Even Bo Nanke, an astonishingly talented comprehension wizard, can only end up depressed at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, most monks in the Nascent Soul stage know that no matter how hard they try Cultivation, the fairyland is still far away, and you need to prepare for your own affairs in time.

In order to ensure that the family inheritance is still guaranteed after their lifespan is exhausted, high-level cultivators must concentrate all the cultivation resources at their disposal, focus on cultivating a few disciples with the best spiritual root qualifications to inherit their mantle, and continue to take care of them in the future I was born in a comprehension family, and these disciples were the so-called direct disciples.

This is why even when the spiritual root aptitude is completely "princes and generals, I would rather have a kind", there will still be entangled comprehension family forces in the Kyushu cultivation world.

Without the care of Elder Pan's direct disciple Wen Hanqing, the Pan's business would not have been able to keep the wealth of the richest man in Zhongzhou, and Elder Wen's remaining 800 years of lifespan would be enough to wait for the successor of the Pan family to have a decent spiritual root again.

If you are unlucky and Pan's business has never had a descendant with a high enough cultivation qualification, facing the dilemma that the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce faced in the past, it can only be "sometimes in fate, there must be something, and there is always time in fate, don't force it".

Precisely because the direct disciples are equivalent to the heirs cultivated by high-level monks themselves, the direct disciples of the Yuanying stage monks of the seven schools have concentrated a large amount of resources of the Yuanying ancestors, even if they practice until the Jindan stage, there is no need to obtain the cultivation. Worrying about resources is a typical example of reaching out for clothes and opening your mouth for food.

Although the salary and benefits of the inner disciples of the seven major sects are quite good, the payment of salaries still belongs to the scope of financial appropriation of the sect, and the predicament faced by the seven major sects is similar to that of the local sects, and they also have the problem of poor temples and rich abbots. After the death of ten thousand monks, there is no way to compare with the personal wealth of the Nascent Soul Stage boss.

Therefore, after the inner sect disciples have cultivated to the foundation establishment stage, they still have to find ways to raise their own cultivation resources. Compared with direct disciples, it is tantamount to the difference between starting a small stove and a big pot.

Faced with this situation, Xia Wu has no good solution. The Shenhuo Sect is best at fire-attributed exercises and ultimate moves. Even if they are also top-grade spiritual root aptitudes, the cultivation priority of fire-spiritual-root disciples should be given priority over those with other attributes. spiritual root.

Tian Beixi was able to become the direct disciple of the head of the Shenhuo Sect with the top-grade water spirit root qualification, mainly due to her super management ability.

Even in order to take advantage of Tian Beixi's spiritual roots, Tian Daxiao didn't let her practice the main method of the Shenhuo Sect, but chose the Arctic Cold Palace Heart Method, which is famous for its water-attributed exercises.

It doesn't take much to know that Tian Daxiao must have paid a huge political price for allowing his own disciples to learn other sects' Zhenpai skills. From this point, we can also see Tian Daxiao's preference for Tian Beixi, and this kind of VIP treatment, ordinary The inner disciples didn't even dare to think about it.

But no matter what others think, Xia Wu absolutely disagrees with Tian Beixi relying on his own ability to become a direct disciple.

In Xia Wu's view, Tian Beixi was able to become the direct disciple of Tian Daxiao, the head of the Shenhuo Sect, entirely because she was backed by the Tian family, the strongest cultivation family in Huoyun Prefecture. Maybe Tian Beixi became Tian Daxiao's direct disciple. Tian Shangcheng, the former head of the Zong, finally chose to support one of the prices offered by Tian Daxiao to take over as the head.

The views held by Xia Wu are also quite popular within the Shenhuo Sect.

After all, Tian Daxiao is a serious cultivator of the World School, a casual cultivator, and a registered disciple of Lu Yang, the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank; while Tian Shangcheng, the former head of the Shenhuo Sect, is a traditional monk of the World School, from a family of cultivation in Huoyun Prefecture. He is also President Lu Yang's sworn enemy.

The two had nothing in common at all.

Before Tian Shangcheng died, he did not support his direct disciple Lu Youde as the head of the sect, but instead supported Tian Daxiao, who was not related to him, as the head of the Shenhuo sect. No matter how you look at it, there seems to be insider trading behind it.

It is precisely because of the many gossips that Tian Beixi is very troubled, so she is so anxious to prove herself, even going to an outlying island to risk herself. The resentment of direct disciples is very great.

In Xia Wu's opinion, if his surname is also Tian, ​​how could it be Ai Wenwen and Tian Beixi's turn to become the direct disciples of the Nascent Soul Stage monks?

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, because his strength is second only to Ai Wen among the younger generation of practitioners in the Qi refining period in Huoyun Prefecture, before the start of this extraterritorial battlefield, the Supreme Elder Lu Youde specially summoned him and hinted that he He said that if he can make great contributions in the siege operation, he can also consider accepting him as his direct disciple.

It is no secret in Shenhuozong that Lu Youde has blood feud with Li Qingyang and Lu Yang.

Therefore, Xia Wu did not doubt Lu Youde's statement.

And even without the favorable terms offered by Lu Youde, Xia Wu still had sufficient motivation to kill Li Qingning.

In fact, the Xia family was originally a comprehension family living in Nanman Prefecture. However, during the third Lingshi financial crisis 500 years ago, the Xia family chose to firmly hold Kyushu because of the wrong treasure in the monetary policy reform led by Lu Yang. The Lingshi coupons issued by the Currency Union were not exchanged for the new generation of Lingshi coins issued by the Lingshi Reserve Bank, causing the family's millennium savings to be destroyed.

In order to retaliate against Lu Yang, Xia Yan, the heir of the Xia Family Patriarch in the Qi refining period at that time, brazenly joined the so-called "Anti-Lu Yang Alliance" formed by the victims of the currency reform, and made a special trip to the battlefield outside the territory to encircle and kill Lu Yang.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yang did not participate in the trial alone, and Ma Tianyi, the head of Wuliangjian, arranged for him a bodyguard with outstanding strength, who was later the third Ascended Immortal Xiao Huang.

At that time, Xiao Huang was still not well-known, and no one knew that his strength was so outrageous that he was not human. Facing the siege of more than ten top experts of the same level from the seven major factions, he not only killed Xia Yan in full view, And also successfully led Lu Yang out of the encirclement.

The Xia family in Nanman Prefecture had already destroyed the wealth accumulated by the family for hundreds of years because of pressing the wrong treasure. Now the heir to the top-grade spiritual root, who had finally waited for it, was killed by Xiao Huang. Bing, from now on the vitality is badly injured.
