Chapter 1957 The Big Picture
Cuipingshan’s visit to Hongyeling did not take long. After sitting for about half an hour, the Li family said goodbye and left.
Those onlookers sensitively noticed that only the male immortal went to Cuiping Mountain.
During this process, Kun Xiuzhenxian from Hongyeling did not appear at all, and stayed steadily in the line.
It can be seen from this that this force is indeed very powerful, and even when the Yuanying ancestor of Cuiping Mountain came to visit them, they regarded it as ordinary.
Not long after, the ancestor of the Zhu family also came to visit, but the one who came was not the second ancestor Zhu Jiayi, but another True Immortal Zhu Houye.
Most people know that Zhu Jiayi is in poor health, and this time the leader of the Zhu family team is Zhu Houye.
The Zhu family stayed even shorter, only about ten minutes.
After that, no one visited Hongye Ridge for a long time.
It was not until it was almost dark that the Thousand-Handed Immortal arrived at the Alliance Valley and was the third to pay a visit.
However, before he left Qu Jianlei's place, another true immortal came.
The person who came this time was a Kun cultivator, dressed simply, and brought several Kun cultivators to visit Jing Yuexin.
Some onlookers suddenly became excited, "It's Fairy Ya and Dai Wanwan... Aren't these two families at odds with each other?"
However, no major fight ensued.
Qi Ya Zhenxian sat in the heart for twenty minutes, and then Jing Yuexin sent her out the door.
However, there was no smile on their faces, and they looked very calm.
Some people even went to find Qiya specifically to find out what happened.
Qi Ya Zhenxian said calmly that the two sides only talked about possible changes in the future and agreed to help each other.
In fact, she still felt a little regretful in her heart.
Qi Ya Zhenxian has always hoped that the other party would take the initiative to visit him and talk about the past grievances.
There is no hatred between her and Hongyeling. The last time Dai Wanwan came to cause trouble, she voluntarily admitted defeat and left after the fight.
However, as a sword cultivator who had experienced the Tiger-Man War, Qi Ya knew too well the importance of helpers in a racial war.
She is extremely powerful personally and has many friends in the Nascent Soul stage, but who would complain that they have too few strong allies?
She originally thought that if Hongyeling came to her, she would calmly reveal the past grudges.
She never thought that after waiting for a long time, the other party had no intention of coming to her house at all.
This made her feel a little embarrassed - was he really so arrogant?
However, Cuipingshan and the ancestor of the Zhu family took the initiative to visit her in person, which made her realize that she was not qualified to sit and wait!
Two of the twelve top forces are so polite. What qualifications do I have to wait for them to come to me?
So, when the Thousand-Handed Immortal came to her house, she also took the initiative to lead Dai Wanwan and several others to visit Jing Yuexin.
Jing Yuexin's response was lukewarm, saying that what was done was done, but she had no interest in the suggestion of helping each other.
She said very frankly that if she really encountered an attack by aliens, it would be better to rely on herself than on others.
Hongyeling is not opposed to helping others, but we must first ensure our own safety.
Even if it is necessary to help others, Hongyeling’s priority is to help its partners, and then consider others.
Is there anything wrong with Jing Yuexin's words? Not at all, most people would choose this.
But Immortal Qi Ya felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this: Isn’t this a disguised rejection?
Whether Hongyeling itself is safe is a very subjective question, and the safety of partners is still very subjective.
Jing Yuexin gave such an answer that could not be objectively measured that it was hard for people to believe in her sincerity, but it was hard to find fault with it.
So it is normal that Immortal Qi Ya is not in a very happy mood.
However, she was also the last True Immortal to visit Hongye Ridge. Neither the Seven Stars Sect nor the Hundred Medicine Valley came to visit her.
It’s not surprising that these two companies didn’t respond.
As one of the five disciples who came to visit, he suffered such a huge loss. Even if he admitted defeat, he couldn't show it too obviously, right?
The Ji family arrived after nightfall. Although Ji Xiaohua led the team, he did not take the initiative to visit anyone.
The Ji family’s main focus now is to keep a low profile. Even if they have connections with certain forces, they will not display it under everyone’s eyes.
Immortal Ke Liang also came, but he didn't show any special attitude towards Hongye Ridge.
Zeng Jiarui arrived early the next morning and immediately immersed himself in his busy work, leaving no chance for others to ask questions.
At noon, the alliance officially announced the start of the conference.
At the beginning, we must introduce the forces of each family, including Hongye Ridge.
Most people have also noticed that after the introduction of the twelve, the thirteenth one is Hongyeling.
Obviously, this is a high recognition of Hongyeling by the alliance, believing that they are the largest among the twelve families.
In fact, many people believe that if only the top combat power is compared, Hongyeling is enough to rank in the top three in Dongsheng.
But Hongyeling was notorious for being short of manpower, so it was ranked 13th. It didn't seem to be a problem.
However, when they were introduced, neither Qu Jianlei nor Jing Yuexin showed up, which was quite arrogant.
In fact, the alliance’s introduction to Red Leaf Ridge was also very downplayed, skipping over it in just a few words.
What surprised Qu Jianlei was that among the major forces on the north side, there was actually Fengyu Tower!
The ranking of Fengyu Tower is relatively low, and the leader is just a Jindan, who is masked.
But there is obviously a reason why such a lineup can be ranked on the north side.
Among the forces in the north, there are also organizations whose upper limit is only the Golden Core level, but they are basically ranked among the fourteen sects.
It’s not that there are no True Immortals in the Fourteen Sects, but after they advance to the level of True Immortal, they will be transferred to the upper sect.
Moreover, the Fourteen Sects are subordinate organizations of the Five Sects, so it is not surprising that several of them are listed on the north side.
But Fengyu Tower... feels a bit weird. You know, the Yan family, who is above Hongye Ridge, cannot be listed on the north side.
The ancestor of the Yan family, Yan Jinhai, is at best a fake infant and is not at all comparable to a golden elixir.
Therefore, this arrangement was somewhat strange, and some people at the scene were whispering.
However, Qu Jianlei and the others didn't care, as Fengyu Tower was not listed before Hongye Ridge.
Even if they really arrive in front of Hongye Ridge, they may not necessarily take action. Instead, they may first figure out what is going on.
It didn’t take long to introduce most of the forces present - the key point was that those on the south and east sides were not worthy of being introduced.
But these people have nothing to be dissatisfied with. There are too many forces present, and if their qualifications are a little bit lower, then it would be really bad.
What surprised Qu Jianlei was that at the end, the alliance specially introduced the Haihe Zhenxian from Zhongzhou.
Haihe Zhenxian is Zhongzhou’s observer in Dongsheng. He is mainly responsible for observing abnormal things, as well as the situation of daily necessities.
It is said that several large chambers of commerce have good relations with him.
But at the same time, Haihe Zhenxian did not interfere in the affairs of Dongsheng, so his identity and status were quite transcendent.
Duan Bowen once said that this person is the representative of Zhongzhou's will, so he will not die easily.
But this time, Haihe Zhenxian showed up, a middle-aged man who looked very elegant.
He stated on the spot that Zhongzhou attached great importance to the changes in the sealing formation and was ready to provide assistance at any time.
No one necessarily believed what he said. For example, he was in Dongsheng now, so how could he contact Zhongzhou in time?
But no matter what, when you are in trouble, having someone tell you that they are willing to cover you is a good psychological comfort.
As for what Dongsheng should do, Haihe Zhenxian did not give any suggestions, and still adhered to the tradition of not interfering in Dongsheng's affairs.
However, in this case, he didn't need to say much. Could Dongsheng have any other choice?
If the cultivators of Dongsheng have given up, can they still expect help from Zhongzhou?
Seeing that everyone had no objection, the league announced that it would move on to the next topic: What kind of team configuration should be sent out?
In fact, Dongsheng already has experience with this kind of configuration, and the alliance has come up with a plan that has been brewing: one to five to three.
That is, one True Immortal is equipped with five Golden Cores and three Foundation Establishment cultivators. This is the standard configuration for an exploration team.
The True Immortal is the backbone and is in charge, the Golden Elixir is the main force of exploration, and the Foundation Establishment is responsible for doing odd jobs, such as delivering messages or something like that.
Generally speaking, the number of people who build the foundation should be more than the number of people who make the golden elixir. After all, the golden elixir is not a cheap cabbage.
However, this is not the case. Now everyone is heading to the void, and even the golden elixir cannot stay in the void for long.
As for building the foundation...it would be good enough if I can not fall behind.
As soon as this suggestion was put forward, someone immediately said that the ratio for foundation building was a bit too high and should be one to five to two.
It is impossible to have fewer people. The True Immortals have come out in person. Even if they are to be buried with the dead, there must be two to establish the foundation.
This suggestion was passed because it was relatively reasonable after all.
As for the fact that the Golden Core is the main element, the proportion of Nascent Soul is not low... There is no way to avoid this, after all, the place to be explored is too special.
The next step is to determine the number of True Immortals who will go to explore. The Alliance recommends nine!
Three True Immortals are divided into three teams and work together to search the relevant areas.
The three groups should also keep in touch with each other and support each other when encountering unexpected situations.
Before Qu Jianlei and his team arrived in Dongsheng, the number of Nascent Souls in the entire Dongsheng was probably less than fifty.
Now sending out nine of them at once means basically one-fifth of the top combat power.
However, the alliance believes that it cannot be reluctant to invest at this time, because this directly determines Dongsheng’s overall strategy in the future.
So, where should these nine true immortals come from? This is the most important thing in this conference.
The twelve top forces directly stated that we will claim four places, and also claim twenty Jindan and eight foundation-building places.
As for how the 12th National Congress will recruit people, that is an internal matter and others don’t need to ask about it. We just need to make sure we have enough people when the time comes.
The remaining five Nascent Souls and twenty-five Golden Cores will have to be supplemented by other forces.
Before the rise of Hongye Ridge, the number of Nascent Souls from the twelve major forces accounted for three quarters of Dongsheng, but they only produced four people.
This is not directed at Hongye Ridge, but the twelve major forces have always treated small and medium-sized forces in this way.
