Chapter 25: Foundation Establishment Combat Strength of Both Sides
Valley, Zhao family.
Li Wu waited for a while, and finally saw Zhao Qianyuan hurriedly walk out of the mist, take Li Wu's hand, and say:
"Brother Li, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for so long."
Li Wuwei nodded slightly and then said:
"I have been in seclusion for cultivation these days and have not paid attention to the changes in Chishan. I would appreciate it if Brother Zhao could tell me about them."
Zhao Qianyuan nodded, and then said:
"Currently, all the demonic beasts in Chishan have gathered on the outskirts, including Foundation Establishment demonic beasts. We have divided Chishan into five areas, with each Foundation Establishment force plus three or four Qi Refining forces responsible for clearing out the demonic beasts in one area."
Upon hearing this, Li Wu raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion:
"Why not gather our forces in one place and attack directly into Tianchi?"
Tianchi is the most central place in Chishan, and that's where the red dragon lives.
Zhao Qianyuan sighed softly and replied:
"This attack on Chishan, besides killing the Crimson Dragon, also involves the future division of Chishan. Therefore, everyone agreed in advance that the division of territory after the war would be determined by the areas that each family conquered during the battle."
"At the same time, in order to avoid disputes and conflicts of interest during the battle, each party divided up the approximate areas in advance before the war began."
Upon hearing this, Li Wu's heart stirred, and an idea came to him.
Now, he has rented a shop from the Zhao family in Pukoufang Market and hired He Yu and a few others to run the shop.
But now the store's revenue has reached its limit, and profits cannot be increased. To increase profits, you need to own your own store.
Zhao Qianyuan's words just now gave Li Wuxin an idea.
If he were to conquer a sacred mountain during the Battle of Chishan, would he be able to establish a small sect?
Li Wu established his sect not to recruit disciples or to teach immortal techniques.
After establishing his sect, Li Wu was able to shed his identity as a rogue cultivator and enter Pukou Market as a Qi Refining force, owning his own shop.
Moreover, after establishing his sect, Li Wu could pass on the alchemy, talisman, weapon crafting, and other skills he had acquired in Yue.
Then he would have all the disciples in the sect earn spirit stones for him.
Having already tasted the sweetness of having others earn spirit stones for him, Li Wu naturally wanted to expand and strengthen his business.
"To create a tool sect that serves only me."
This is the meaning of the existence of sects.
Thinking of this, Li Wu looked at Zhao Qianyuan and asked:
"Brother Zhao, what should be done if a rogue cultivator occupies a sacred mountain during the Battle of Chishan?"
Zhao Qianyuan paused for a moment, then pondered:
"There was no agreement on this matter... but according to the existing treaty, it should rightfully belong to him personally."
Upon hearing this, Li Wu immediately understood.
Then, the two entered the valley together.
Li Wuzan stayed there for the time being.
When Li Wu met Lu Sui, he learned that Lu Sui would not enter Chishan to fight against the monsters, but would instead refine pills in the rear.
So Li Wu asked him many questions about alchemy.
Lu Sui was quite surprised by Li Wu's alchemy skills, wondering where he had obtained the alchemy knowledge.
But he didn't ask any questions; instead, he answered Li Wu's doubts one by one.
…………
Winter Solstice is here in the blink of an eye.
Heavy snow is falling.
The Zhao family's spirit ship sailed towards Chishan, its hull shimmering with spiritual light, enveloped by a grand formation, and escorted by more than ten flying shuttles.
Li Wu stood at the bow of the boat, looking around, but he did not find any Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhao family.
"The Foundation Establishment cultivators must have already gone to Chishan ahead of us."
As Li Wuxin was thinking this, he saw the towering Chishan Mountain, reaching into the clouds, coming into view in the distance.
The spirit ship flew above the sea of clouds, heading straight towards the southern part of Chishan.
The Chishan they refer to is not a single mountain, but rather a vast area encompassing the surrounding mountainous region, centered around Chishan.
Soon, the spirit ship arrived at the southern part of Chishan.
Then an old voice was heard:
"Disembark!"
The spirit ship was expensive, and the Zhao family only had one. Naturally, they would not use it in war; at most, they would use it to transport troops and supplies.
At this moment, Zhao Qianyuan walked over and said:
"Brother Li, let's go. We've already set up camp down there."
Li Wuwei nodded slightly, then summoned his flying shuttle and followed behind Zhao Qianyuan.
A moment later, Li Wu saw a cluster of buildings in a canyon on the outskirts, surrounded by a large array.
Li Wuling couldn't penetrate it, so it must be an array that could conceal his aura.
After entering the camp, Zhao Qianyuan pulled Li Wudao aside:
"Brother Li, you can stay in the tent next to mine. Rest for the night, and tomorrow someone will organize us to fight the monsters."
"it is good."
Li Wu naturally wouldn't refuse; tonight would be a good opportunity to ask Zhao Qianyuan some questions.
into the night.
Zhao Qianyuan and Li Wu drank together.
After enjoying a few drinks, Li Wu immediately got down to business:
"Brother Zhao, could you tell me how many Foundation Establishment level warriors each side has?"
Zhao Qianyuan had drunk quite a bit and hadn't used his spiritual power to sober up, so he was slightly tipsy. He nodded slightly and smiled, saying:
"Then I will speak with Brother Li about it."
"Our side is the first choice. My ancestor is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, needless to say. In addition, the ancestor of the Liu family, who specializes in weapon crafting, is also a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Besides, the Sun family, who specializes in talismans, and the Zhou family, who specialize in alchemy, both have a cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage."
"As for the last one, the [Dayan Sect], there are two Foundation Establishment cultivators, one in the late Foundation Establishment stage and the other in the early Foundation Establishment stage."
"Then let's talk about the monsters in Chishan. Besides the Crimson Flood Dragon, who is in the late Foundation Establishment stage, there are also three Foundation Establishment monsters: a tiger, an eagle, and a toad."
"Six to four, we have an absolute advantage."
Li Wuwei nodded slightly and then asked:
"Then why didn't I see any Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
Zhao Qianyuan waved his hand and said:
"They entered the depths of Chishan before us, first slaying the tiger, eagle, and toad, and then proceeding together to Tianchi to suppress the Crimson Dragon!"
Zhao Qianyuan spoke vehemently, as if he were a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Li Wuxin pondered:
"With six against four, the outcome is hard to predict."
Demonic beasts possess powerful physical bodies and special bloodline abilities, making them generally stronger than ordinary human cultivators of the same level.
Furthermore, that red dragon possesses true dragon blood, so it could probably take on three opponents without any problem.
So, although it seems like they have more players than players, it's really hard to say who will win.
"No matter what, I have to find a chance to go to Tianchi tomorrow."
If the Crimson Dragon breaks through to the Core Formation stage, it will inevitably attract a lightning tribulation, which will then give rise to many lightning-attribute spiritual objects.
Li Wu naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
…………
The next day.
Now, within Chishan Mountain, hordes of monsters roam, and danger lurks everywhere.
If a cultivator enters alone, he will surely become food for the demon beasts. For the safety of all disciples, it is stipulated that only those in teams can enter Chishan to eliminate the demon beasts.
Li Wu's team consisted of four people.
Besides him, there were Zhao Qianyuan, Zhao Nanxu, and a female cultivator he didn't know.
Zhao Nanxu, with her cool and elegant demeanor, saw that everyone had arrived, and parted her red lips slightly to speak:
"Let's go. Today we must kill three late-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts."
