There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 573 Behind the Scenes
In a corner of the underground cave in the mountaintop temple, an area about three meters deep, as bright as daytime outside, there are four cushions placed around an incense burner.

There are densely packed magic runes hidden under the cushion and in the nearby rock walls, which are connected to the communication relay device of the palace on the mountainside.

Wang Ping and Yu Lian sat on the cushion on the upper left and activated the core of the formation below the incense burner. As streams of wood spirit energy flowed through, the upper and lower formation runes wrapped this small area to form a specific space.

As the space shook, the illusory yet real figures of Wu Quan, Gan Xing and Zi Luan appeared at the positions of the other three cushions.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm busy right here!"

These words were said by Gan Xing, whose projected consciousness was the weakest, probably because he was too far away from the transfer area.

Wu Quan asked with a smile: "Where are you now?"

"In a small tribe in the south of Xizhou, they used some secret method of the Yuqing Sect to cultivate a spirit beast that can help grow crops. It has a magic weapon gestating inside it. This magic weapon is in perfect harmony with my soul, and I am waiting for its promotion."

"What kind of spirit beast is it?" Yu Lian asked curiously.

"A carp. It was discovered when it had just gained intelligence. Then its mind was suppressed artificially. Several steel nails with Jade Purity spell runes were implanted in its body. Every day, its mind and behavior are controlled by the steel nails in its body to irrigate the crops on both sides of the river where it is located. The crops irrigated by it not only grow fast, but also have no pests."

Gan Xing introduced quickly: "There is a steel nail in its body that has been affected by the carp's chaotic thoughts for many years. Coupled with the nourishment of spiritual energy, it has become a magic weapon and is still evolving. When it completes its evolution, I'm afraid no one in this small tribe will survive."

Yu Lian said bitterly: "That's what they deserve. If you fool others, you must be prepared to be liquidated."

Gan Xing smiled and didn't respond. He looked at Zi Luan and asked, "Did something happen in Nanlin Road? If there is any place that needs the Loose Cultivator Alliance, we will definitely cooperate with it."

He expressed his opinion first.

Upon hearing this, Zi Luan first turned his head to look at Wang Ping, and then said, "The Chu court may not be able to hold on, especially the royal family. Their inbound monks have been plotted against by the major families in the past six months, and now some are dead or injured. I have received accurate information that they are already planning to re-establish the emperor, and even the imperial guards outside Jinhuai City have made unusual movements."

"Although we had some minor conflicts with the royal family before, that was within our control and could not shake the foundation of the Chu State. If the Chu State were to fall into chaos, I'm afraid that you and I would not be able to cultivate in peace."

Wang Ping understood Zi Luan's meaning immediately.

Now the Chu court is under the control of these four people, and the southern cultivation world is also a unified group. All the sects and schools will more or less take their names into consideration when doing things, as well as the cultivators who depend on their names. All of these can help them ward off some unnecessary minor troubles.

When the conflict occurred with the imperial court, the reason why the four of them sent their disciples to fight was to safeguard their interests in this regard.

But if the State of Chu were to split up and each region were to govern itself independently, people's hearts would not be united, and their interests, which were originally spread all over the south, would be divided up by other sects and aristocratic families over time.

Take the simplest and most common caravan trade as an example. No matter whether their caravans are heading north or south, they will need to pay taxes at each checkpoint. To gather materials for magic arrays, it may only take a month now, but may take a year or even several years in the future.

What's worse is that in this chaotic situation some sects will develop ambitions and unite to challenge Qianmu Temple or Liuxin Sect!

Furthermore, the cultivation world in the south is not small, and there are at least dozens of ordinary third-level cultivators. When the world is peaceful, they may have some concerns, but in a chaotic situation, they will most likely want to take advantage of the situation to improve their cultivation.

Therefore, for their own interests and for future stability, the State of Chu can be in chaos, but the cultivation world in the south cannot be in chaos!

However, because the True Lord has stipulated that cultivators above the second level of cultivation are not allowed to participate in worldly battles, the influx of a large number of foreign cultivators and Qigong practitioners has led to a separation and close connection between the cultivation world and the mundane world.

In this way, the State of Chu will be in chaos, and the foundation of the cultivation world will be in chaos!
"Want to intervene?"

Wu Quan first looked at Wang Ping, and then at Zi Luan.

Gan Xingze said: "I still say the same thing, I fully support any decision you make, but I don't have time to come back."

Zi Luan did not answer, but looked at Wang Ping first.

Wang Ping turned and looked at Zi Luan, saying, "I agree to intervene, but the four of us are not enough!"

"You mean a bow?"

"She may need a stable environment more than us, and her master is Taoist Wanzhi."

"That's a good reason, so good that I can't refuse." Zi Luan looked at Wu Quan while speaking.

Wu Quan immediately said: "I also agree to intervene, but how exactly should we do it?"

Zi Luan said, "First stabilize Nanlin Road, then Liangjiang area. Most of Daoist Gan Xing's disciples are active in Liangjiang area. Is it okay to leave it to you?"

"no!"

When Gan Xing agreed, Zi Luan looked at Wang Ping and said, "The Taoist friend Ruan Chunzi who entered your Qianmu Temple was once the deputy head of the Zhenyang Sect. He also has influence in the Liangjiang area. Find a way to get his disciples to go there."

"it is good!"

Wang Ping nodded in agreement.

Zi Luan continued, "After this gathering, we need to each send ten disciples to secretly enter Jinhuai City to deal with the problem of the Imperial Guards first, but it is not easy for our disciples to come forward directly."

He looked at Wang Ping when he said this.

After he finished speaking, Wang Ping naturally agreed: "I will find a way, but your people will also need to help out in the court."

"rest assured!"

Seeing that the two had finished their discussion, Wu Quan interrupted and said, "We still need to find a way to unify Zhongzhou and determine the ownership of the artifact. In this way, the rules set by the higher-ups will be automatically lifted."

Gan Xing shook his head and said, "We can't be the leaders!"

"Correct!"

"I agree!"

Wang Ping and Zi Luan agreed one after another.

Wu Quan frowned and asked, "What should we do then?"

"We can only wait!"

Wang Ping answered firmly.

Wu Quan looked at Wang Ping and asked, "How long do we have to wait?"

"Why are you so impatient? This is not like you." Gan Xing looked at Wu Quan in surprise.
"You have a mortal enemy who is planning to advance to the fourth level. Can you keep calm?" Wu Quan asked back.

"Do you have any ideas about the promotion ceremony of the Archer Taoist?" Gan Xing asked with a smile.

Wu Quan shook his head and said nothing.

After Wu Quan and Gan Xing finished their half-joking conversation, Zi Luan looked at Wang Ping and said, "Contact Zhi Gong as soon as possible and let him know. There is no need to meet."

After he finished speaking, he cut off the projected consciousness. Then Gan Xing left impatiently, and finally Wu Quan.

Yu Lian said at this time: "I never thought that you would be stumped by a group of mortals. This may be the effect that you True Lords want."

Wang Ping did not respond. He summoned the 'Dongtian Mirror' and found a special puppet among hundreds of puppets. He was the one he specially arranged in the court of Chu State, and now he has been promoted to the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

"It will be faster if Liu Shuang comes to do this!" Yu Lian reminded.

"No need. It's not a big deal. If things get out of control, we can destroy the sects behind those people, but this is the last resort."

Wang Ping opened the densely packed communication channels in the 'Dongtian Mirror' and said to Yu Lian: "You see, these people are like chess pieces on a chessboard, and we may also be like these chess pieces in the eyes of the True Lords."
