217 Chapter 216 wretched development
Three years passed by quickly.
In the past three years, the sky above the Feiyun state had been covered with dark clouds.
The conflict within the Qingfeng sect was growing more intense.
Not only did the conflict between the sect leader and the hai family not ease, but it also became more and more intense.
The turning point of the whole matter was after the confrontation between the four golden core cultivators of the Feiyun state on Husheng peak.
The conflict between Jindan didn’t erupt at that time, so they temporarily avoided a direct internal war between sects.
However, the cracks were not so easy to mend. The blood shed by Liang Dade’s admonishments had also flowed into the hearts of every cultivator in the sect.
It was said that Kong Tong had completely stopped talking to his Junior Brother hai Sande.
The conflict between the high-level cultivators had not completely erupted, but the turmoil in the lower levels was not so easy to control.
In fact, it was another matter if they were controlling it or not.
The ‘sparring’ between Qi refining cultivators had already happened many times.
It was called a ‘spar’, but in essence, it was a’ fight ‘to vent their contradictions.
Of course, this was still a small matter. The more serious matters happened in Zhongshan Prefecture and Guangyang Prefecture.
Out of the four prefectures of the Feiyun state, Zhongshan Prefecture and Guangyang Prefecture were slightly to the South. They were the two places where the sect had the greatest influence. In these two places, the county and County cities were places that the Qingfeng sect could directly influence. There were indeed some local clans, but these local clans basically relied on the Qingfeng sect for their existence. The degree to which they integrated into the Qingfeng sect was even greater than the Zhao clan had been in the past.
Another thing worth mentioning was that the Zhao family still had some power left in the sect. Their new base was in Guangyang and they had completely sided with the sect leader.
In Guangyang and Zhongshan, these small and medium-sized families that originally relied on the sects had also gradually begun to divide.
This was directly related to the problem of ass. Some of the disciples in the sect were close to the sect leader’s bloodline, while some were even closer to the hai family.
In the past, it wasn’t much. Everyone made a living under the sect, so the division between factions wasn’t that obvious. However, in recent years, they had become more and more hostile to each other.
First, they would bicker with each other, then it would develop to the point where they would compete for resources and even fight each other.
Not all of them were cultivators of the sect. For many local families, only a portion of their clansmen joined the sect and had the identity of a sect cultivator. The rest would still cultivate in the spirit veins of various places, borrowing the resources of the outside world.
If they weren’t cultivators of the sect, there wouldn’t be a restriction of ‘fellow disciples can’t kill each other’. They wouldn’t have any scruples when fighting, and they didn’t even need to hide the name of’ sparring’.
Most of the time, incidents that caused bloodshed were not considered major. At least in the past, when their relationship was still harmonious, they could resolve it through negotiation. It would not reach the point of fighting or even killing people.
But now, they might have to face each other even if it was just a small matter.
This conflict had even started to spread from Guangyang and Zhongshan.
At the border between the two counties and the South of Dong Hai County, some of the vassal families of the main hai family were also quarreling with some of the families of the sect leader’s lineage.
The situation below was developing to a level of collapse, but the sect’s upper echelons had not taken any measures. Some of the more intelligent people in the sect also realized that the situation was not good and tried their best to suppress the chaos.
However, since the leaders of the three sects below the great golden core stage, as well as the high-level cultivators in the late stage of initial enlightenment, were all indifferent to this, how could those scattered and unsystematic so-called ‘knowledgeable people’ cause any waves?
The Lu family was one of the more uninvolved parties in this storm.
They were strong enough, that was one aspect. On the other hand, the main conflict between the sect leader and the hai family was not with the Lu family.
The Lu family was quite happy with this situation.
You guys go ahead and fight, I’ll just develop in the back and be done with it.
In the past three years, although there were no new foundation building cultivators in the Lu clan, the strength of those who had already built their foundations had improved a lot.
Lu Weiwen’s performance was the most eye-catching. This young lady was already at the fourth-tier foundation building realm, the same as xueting. However, xueting had entered the foundation establishment stage much earlier than her! To be able to catch up in such a short period of time, Lu Weiwen’s talent of having double spiritual roots and a gold spirit body was indeed terrifying.
In comparison, even Wenen was weaker than her. He was only at the third-tier foundation building realm.
There was also Ming Ling, who had just broken through at the end of last year. He was able to take time out to cultivate even though the Chamber of Commerce’s Affairs were quite busy. It was already quite good for him to reach the third-tier foundation building realm so quickly.
The second-level foundation building cultivators were the Jin dynasty, tingchou, and Mingjie.
Tingchou’s talent and comprehension were still slightly inferior to Lu mingling’S. He had built his Foundation at the same time, but he had yet to touch the edge of the third level.
Jin Chao and Ming Jie had only recently reached the second layer of the foundation building realm.
The situation of the foundation building cultivators in the clan was roughly like this.
As for the Qi refining stage, which had more members, the total number of cultivators in the clan had exceeded 150.
Many of them were quite young.
Lu Qing, the patriarch, had persevered in spending karma to help the cultivators of the Lu clan continuously improve their spiritual roots and talents. The current success rate of the Lu clan was so high that it made others envious.
After these children grew up, the karma that Lu Qing had spent on improving his spiritual roots in the past would bear fruit. The number of cultivators in the clan had increased explosively. Although the new batch of cultivators were still young, had only cultivated for a short period of time, and their cultivation levels were not very deep, they were all the seeds of the clan’s future.
Among these children, there were two who were worth paying the most attention to. One was Lu Wenxian, and the other was Lu mingheng.
Ming Heng was the reincarnated child of Chao Heng after his death. After his spiritual roots were upgraded by Lu Qing’s spiritual roots, he had fire and wood double spiritual roots. It was the same as Lu Qing’s own spiritual roots. He cultivated the infinite flame mantra directly.
This year, Ming Heng was already twenty-one years old and was at the ninth level of the Qi refining stage. He estimated that in another one or two years, he would be able to completely Polish it. With another foundation building pill, he would be able to break through to the foundation building realm.
Wen xian was much younger, 14 years old. However, he was born after the construction of the ‘Lingfeng sacred tower’. He was born with a lightning spiritual root and was promoted to a lightning earth double spiritual root by Lu Qing.
He had completed the Qi refining stage at the age of nine and was already at the fourth level of Qi refining stage at the age of fourteen this year. He was quite talented and would probably be able to reach the ninth level of Qi refining stage by the time he was in his early twenties.
In addition, there were a few children with double spiritual roots. Under the circumstances of abundant resources, their performance was also quite good, so I won’t go into detail.
However, there were also problems.
There were many cultivators under the age of 60 in the clan who were stuck at the ninth level of the Qi refining stage and could not advance.
