Lin Bai thought he could be in the same room with Aunt Gu again, but when he arrived at Shuiliandong, Gu Yao and Gu Jiuzhong were already waiting.
They are the only two golden elixirs in the Gu family. Lin Bai has a foreign surname, but he is not considered an outsider.
"The Northern Expedition has been decided." Gu Qingshui closed her eyes and spoke calmly.
This matter has been rumored for a long time. Now that he heard the accurate news, Lin Bai didn't have much trouble. He just asked curiously: "When will we set off?"
"Within three months." Gu Qingshui said.
A battle between two Nascent Soul sects is by no means a trivial matter. Not to mention preparing various supplies and mobilizing manpower from various places, we also need to contact and win over all parties, which cannot be done quickly at all.
Three months is already considered fast, and Xiang Laozu obviously wants a quick victory.
Of course, Ancestor Xiang must have been planning for a long time, and he may have been preparing in private for more than three years!
"How to fight?" Gu Yao asked.
"The troops are divided into three groups, with Jiang Xingchi and Xie Qingxuan going first; Jiuzheshan Yanqingfeng and Du Jueming on the left; Senior Brother Yang and me on the right."
Gu Qingshui closed her eyes and said calmly: "Which of you will follow me?"
As soon as he said this, the three golden elixirs came forward at the same time.
Gu Qingshui opened her eyes, glanced at the three of them, and said, "Lin Zhuanlun just came back. This time I will stay behind and practice well."
Seeing Aunt Gu's love, Lin Bai quickly expressed his loyalty and said: "Ancestor, I am familiar with the road and know the details of the various sects along the way. I am willing to accompany you!"
"The army is going on the northern expedition. You are the only one left. Stay at Qiaoshan." Gu Qingshui did not let go.
Lin Bai was so moved that he almost cried. If he wanted to say more, he was stopped by Gu Jiuzhong again.
"Brother Xian, there is hope for the road. There is no need to go to the front line to take risks. Brother Yu can go on this trip." Gu Jiuzhong looked at Gu Yao again and said, "You are not good at fighting, so you should practice well at home."
"I'm familiar with the formation, it's just when it's useful!" Gu Yao was unconvinced.
Seeing the three golden elixirs quarreling, Gu Qingshui waved her sleeves to suppress it and said: "Go to Jiuchong, you two are at home."
If the ancestor says something, then the matter will be settled.
"The following sects and families also need to contribute. You go to Cheng Keshui to discuss it." Gu Qingshui said no more and waved his hand to drive them away.
Lin Bai came with joy, but could not kiss Fangze, so he could only go back depressed.
"I know what you're thinking. My ancestor didn't let you go this time because he cares for you." Gu Jiuzhong saw that Lin Bai was unhappy, so he patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Lin Bai dealt with it for a few words and returned to Chunhui Hall.
There was no trace of the two apprentices, and no one knew where they were hanging out.
Lin Bai felt relieved when he learned that he didn't have to go to the front line with the Northern Expedition this time. He simply closed the door and started thinking about cultivation.
All the flying knives were destroyed and needed to be replaced as soon as possible. But if you want to make a new flying knife, you can't do it like before. You need to carefully combine the matching materials.
"I don't know what's going on with this girl Dugu Jing. I'll go back to Daoyin Sect and talk to Mr. Dugu Hao..."
The last time the flying knife failed to give anyone a spiritual stone, Lin Bai felt a little sorry.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai took out what he had gained when he went north.
At that time, Xia Fenyi, Zhou Xian and Tang Yong went south to do business, and Lin Bai got some benefits.
Lin Bai took out the storage ring and carefully studied the restrictions on it. It took Lin Bai a day to open it.
These three people are worthy of being born in Shouting Pavilion and have rich treasures.
Various talismans and several magic weapons. Especially the elixirs, which are even more extraordinary, are the Yinhuo Mingchan Dan that helps the golden elixir break through the small realm. There are also many elixirs that help build the foundation and break through the small realm. They should be used as rewards.
In addition, there are more than 70,000 high-grade spiritual stones gained from Xia Fenyi's business trip south, plus Zhou Xian and Tang Yong's accumulation. There are also a few demon pills, but the quality is average.
Lin Bai sorted the various elixirs and put them away, and also put all the other spiritual materials, such as spiritual herbs, in a safe place, planning to take action in the future.
There are also some extremely spiritual monster furs, which are used to make armor, robes, and even talismans.
There is also an account book of Xia Fenyi, which contains products from various places in Shouting Pavilion, but the records are extremely sloppy and simple.
After packing it up, Lin Bai took out the fragments of the stone plate.
The two fragments have merged into one, fitting tightly together, as if they are one body at all.
After thinking about it carefully for a long time, it was of no use, so Lin Bai put it away. Nowadays, the second level of Jindan and the second level of Hunyuan require both.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai closed his eyes and meditated.
Three days later, the two apprentices and Cheng Shuang came to the door.
It turned out that Journey to the North had been revised and specially sent to Lin Bai for inspection.
"What has been changed to this?" Lin Bai grabbed Miaomiao and put her little face against the book, "The barbarians in the Northern Wilderness are coquettish and often seduce me, but I have to be taught by Patriarch Gu, and the most important thing is to be clean and self-respecting... ...There is no temptation! Don’t write nonsense!”
Miaomiao quickly agreed.
Lin Bai flipped through it again and found that there was nothing major wrong with it. He just pointed out a few minor mistakes and omissions, such as the duel with Wu Muchun and the Longevity Mountain in front of Kong Shu.
"How's it going outside?" Lin Bai talked about other things.
Miaomiao immediately started talking. All kinds of materials were three times more expensive out of thin air. Some sects and clans even drew lots to select people for the Northern Expedition.
"Where's your home?" Lin Bai looked at Miaomiao.
"Of course the ancestor has to go, and so does the clan leader." Miaomiao sighed.
"If you can gain something from this trip, the benefits will be huge."
Since we are going to conquer Shoutian Pavilion, Patriarch Xiang will not just grab Longevity Mountain. When the time comes, he will be rewarded based on merit. There are many treasures in Zhouhui Mountain, so they must be divided among them.
Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yu again and asked, "Where is your home?"
"My sister won't go..." Jiang Yu said.
This is the advantage of having Nascent Soul at home. It doesn’t matter whether you go or not.
Lin Bai looked at Cheng Shuang again.
"Don't look at me, I definitely have to go!" Cheng Shuang was full of fighting spirit, "As the leader, our ancestors have to dispatch supplies in the rear, so we have to send people there!"
Lin Bai had nothing to say, so he distributed some pills to the three of them, and then drove them out.
Five days later, Jing Si came to say goodbye.
Lin Bai replied to Bi Huanqiu's letter and invited friends to drink and say goodbye.
Prices in Qiaoshan were getting higher and higher, and Cheng Keshui also recruited many casual cultivators, all promising huge profits.
Moreover, they also purchased materials and magic weapons from Yunxia Sect, Jiuyin Mountain, and even Daoyin Sect. This posture was obviously going to last for a long time.
All the sects and forces in Qiaoshan have to provide people and materials. The Jindan forces have to provide Jindan, and the Foundation Establishment family has to provide Foundation Establishment. Various tasks have also been assigned.
The Journey to the North was finally published. Because it detailed the customs and geography of the clans and sects in the north, the cowardice of the old people in Zhouhuishan, the wealth and enlightenment of Shouting Pavilion, and even the fishing spots, Qiaoshan Paper was instantly It’s so expensive that many casual cultivators came here specifically to sign up to go north, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
Two months later, the first batch of flying boats set off, led by Jiang Xingchi, with Xie Qingxuan, an old man from Zhou Huishan, as his deputy.
Then Jiuzheshan's fleet also came and set off with the Gu Yang family.
"Ancestor didn't let me go, so he asked me to check what's going on behind him." Yang Huan approached Lin Bai with a dull tone.
Lin Bai comforted her a lot and finally made Sister Huanhuan happy.
Then he was summoned by Jiang Xiaobai, and Lin Bai rushed there without stopping.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Bai said goodbye to Gu Yao, took his two apprentices, and headed to Daoyin Sect with Min Hengbo.
When they arrived at the place, Lin Bai had a deep conversation with Mo Yingcheng for two days, and then approached Dugu Hao.
Not long after, news of the Northern Expedition came one after another.
The three armies marched north without any sect or family to stop them, but no force joined them.
However, he purchased various materials from many Yuanying sects, and they were all at affordable or even low prices.
The army was vast, stopping and walking along the way, passing Wuque Mountain and Yubi Mountain, resting for a while at Yinbi Mountain, and then headed back to the mountain.
Shouting Pavilion was also ready, and all the monks shrank to a place three hundred miles below Wanshou Mountain. As for the mundane, only part of it is taken away. No one cares about the rest for now, but monks rarely kill mortals.
The strange thing is that the Northern Expedition of Qiaoshan was obviously for Zhou Huishan's old people, but Wuque Mountain, Yubi Mountain and Yinbi Mountain along the way were indifferent and chose neutrality.
It took the Northern Expedition army four months to successfully enter the Zhouhui Mountain boundary. (End of chapter)
