Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 364: One Pot
After a two-year journey, the rebirth ship finally arrived at the Demon Shadow Society in the third level of hell.

The influence of Shenzhou forces on the first and second layers of hell is very strong, and begins to weaken from the third layer of hell.

From the fifth floor down, it loses influence significantly.

From a geopolitical perspective, it is also easy to distinguish who belongs to the pro-Shenzhou camp and who belongs to the anti-Shenzhou camp.

Zushen Mountain, Jiuyou, the Demon Legion, etc. are all in the fifth level of hell and below, and they are all unwaveringly anti-Shenzhou camp.

It was this group of people who invaded China and brought about a bloody battle.

The fifth layer of hell and above are more susceptible to the influence of the Shenzhou forces, which gave rise to reform forces like the Demon Shadow Society, which abandoned the demon path and embraced the immortal path.

When Chen Jing arrived at the Yaoying Society's territory and was about to experience the uniqueness of this place, he was told that he could not enter.

The life and death of the Demon Shadow Lord is unknown, and the entire Demon Shadow Society is under a state of high martial law.

As a notorious flying boat hunter, Chen Jing was denied access.

In the end, only Jiu Niang went to the Yaoying Club alone. They waited outside. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for long, only about half a month, and then it was confirmed.

After Jiu Niang returned, she called Chen Jing and said, "I have never come into contact with this Demon Shadow Society before, but it looks like they are quite troublesome. You have to be careful when taking their things."

"There's no such thing as getting a realm for free. This is not a remote realm far away from the 'Ancient Road'. It would be strange if there weren't some troubles. They should have some conditions." Cheng Xiaying said.

"Well, there are a total of twenty-four realms, all at the end of the Zuling River. Their conditions are these..."

She sent the specific information in batches using her spiritual consciousness.

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

The additional condition is very simple. These twenty-four territories that have been given up cannot be said to have been sold or ceded. Even if their master has died, they cannot show weakness at this time.

Therefore, in order to take away these twenty-four realms, one must nominally join the Demon Shadow Society. In this way, the Demon Shadow Society can also explain itself internally.

There’s actually nothing wrong with this. Just a name, and you don’t need to listen to orders or announcements.

But this is only one reason. Secondly, to occupy twenty-four realms, it is necessary to ensure that the inheritance of the Demon Shadow Society always exists and occupies a certain proportion.

It’s like Chen Jing gave the Southern Wilderness to others to manage. They can do whatever they want, but they must know how to manage the land.

In other words, cross-holding.

The Yaoying Society proposed that their Tao should account for 40%, but Jiu Niang refused. She only agreed to 20%, otherwise it would be a waste of work.

There is no consensus on this point yet.

Then comes the third point.

The Demon Shadow Society did something very unfair, that is, these twenty-four realms were not sold to Mo Yige's family.

Instead, it was sold to several companies at the same time.

It’s not right to say that it’s selling.

Because the demon shadow will be accompanied by the turmoil of the master's death, it is necessary to shrink its power and cut flesh and blood.

These twenty-four realms are part of the flesh that was cut out.

As for the Yaoying Society, it’s all about cutting meat anyway. Why should I care who gets to eat the meat? Go and fight for it among yourselves!
The third point is related to the second point.

Basically, if Chen Jing and the others accept and let the Yaoying Society continue to maintain a 40% share of the avenues in the twenty-four realms, then the Yaoying Society will ensure that this piece of meat falls into the hands of Chen Jing and the others.

But if Chen Jing and the others insist on an 80:20 split, then the Yaoying Society will not pay much attention to them and whoever grabs it first will own it.

"Think about it and decide how to choose." Jiu Niang said to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing was a little undecided for a moment, and said: "I need to know the specific situation of the twenty-four realms."

The proportion of a great way is not only the number of people who practice this way, but also represents the corresponding proportion of resources.

A realm is so small, and if 40% of the resources are supplied to cultivators of another path, it will definitely affect the Qingnang Sect's development of its own path here.

Only with money can you support monks and expand your path.

"Don't worry. There are still three companies eyeing these twenty-four realms, and two of them have invited us to form an alliance."

"Alliance?" Chen Jing asked in surprise, "There are only 24 realms. Do we need to divide them further?"

"That's right. The two families that wanted to form an alliance with us aren't very strong either. They probably felt that they didn't have the ability to take it all, so they decided to divide it among us."

"Is that so? You said there were three companies, but only two wanted to form an alliance. What's the situation with the other one?"

"There is also a company called 'Dark Alliance' that has the support of the Dark Ancient Alliance and controls hundreds of realms. Its strength should not be underestimated. It is precisely because of the 'Dark Alliance' that the other two companies want to form an alliance with us."

Jiu Niang informed everyone of the current situation.

Chen Jingze said: "Mo Yige, do you have any suggestions?"

"She's out of reach at the moment and has no advice, except to say if we make a decision she'll do her best to help."

The choice returned to Chen Jing.

He thought for a moment and said, "I have to contact Master."

"It should be."

……

……

Chen Jing used the method of mind-to-mind communication to contact his master and recounted the situation to him.

After listening.

Taoist Yun Ting said: "It is absolutely not advisable to hand over the 40% of the Taoism to the Demon Shadow Society."

"I think so too. Forty percent, the demon shadow will recover one day and we can take it back with a backhand."

Chen Jing also expressed his agreement.

To acquire a realm, breaking through its defense is only part of the difficulty, and not even the most difficult part.

The most difficult part is to rebuild all the supporting industries needed for one's journey.

This is much more expensive than military spending.

If the supporting industries left by the Demon Shadow Society in the realms are not destroyed, the price the Demon Shadow Society has to pay to take back these realms will be too low.

Destroy 80% of the supporting industries of the Yaoying Society, and then replace them with your own set.

If we fall out with the Yaoying Society in the future, the Yaoying Society will have to settle the accounts and decide whether it is worth it to take it back.

The more unworthy it is, the greater the internal resistance will be, and the safer the twenty-four realms that Chen Jing and his team have taken will be.

Eliminate an option.

The next step is to compete with the other three companies.

Of these three, the strongest is the Dark Alliance, which is a group of humans who practice the netherworld and ghost ways.

There are demons who practice Taoism, and naturally there are humans who do not. The Dark Alliance is one of these groups. They are related to the largest alliance organization in the lower world, the Ancient Underworld Alliance. They have a strong backer and are also very powerful.

The next two were called "Sword Soul Mansion" and "Wing Fire Pavilion". The two were of similar strength and occupied about 30 domains.

But although they have entered many territories, in fact, many of them are "divided and occupied", which means they have no dominant power.

This realm has a 10% or 20% share, and that realm has a 10% or 20% share.

Putting together all the information, the strength is roughly equivalent to that of three or four complete realms, but because it is too dispersed, it is not as strong as the forces that monopolize a realm.

They are the same now. Seeing that the Demon Shadow Society is about to cut flesh and let blood, they come over to join in the fun.

I don't ask to become fat in one bite, just being able to eat is a victory.

"The Dark Alliance is powerful, so they can join forces with the other two. But if they can't take the lead, it would be better to let the Demon Shadow Society take action directly. It's a 40:60 split."

Chen Jing expressed his thoughts.

Taoist Yun Ting pulled his beard and said, "It's difficult to do either way, but you are in the lower realm, so you can see things more clearly. There is no need to worry too much, just make the decision."

Chen Jing nodded: "Master, you really trust your disciple."

“It doesn’t matter if it fails. The girl from the Original Holy Land will naturally find another way.” Taoist Yun Ting said casually.

"It's also..."

Chen Jing thought about it for a while and said, "In that case, I have a new idea."

"Oh?"

"All of them."

"Ok?"

"Talk to the Demon Shadow Association and give them 40%, then cooperate with the Sword Soul Mansion and Wing Fire Pavilion to develop together. As for the Dark Alliance, if they want to come, I will also accept them."

Chen Jing's words left Taoist Yun Ting unable to react for a moment.

Good guy, you agreed to everything, so you can raise the poison here?

Chen Jing continued, "We should also inform Master Wei about this matter and ask him to contribute as well. Since it is so difficult to take over these twenty-four realms, let's just throw them all in one pot. We can eat as much as we can. If we are still not full, we can let Mo Yige find a solution."

"You kid..."

Taoist Yun Ting thought about it for a while and suddenly felt that this idea was indeed very good. As long as he didn't think about swallowing an elephant like a snake and becoming a fat man in one breath, then he would win no matter what.

As the saying goes, a son doesn't feel bad when he sells his father's land. What they are selling is the land of the Demon Shadow Society, so there is even less reason for them to feel bad.

What did they really pay for?

In other words, Chen Jing earned six flying boats on the way to transport the rare objects.

Chen Jing said: "Things obtained through others are always unreliable. I have already got some ideas about the manufacture of flying boats and the construction of routes in the lower realm. There is no need to rely on this side to accomplish anything."

"Oh?" Taoist Yun Ting was really moved and couldn't help but want to ask for details, but after a few twists and turns in his mind, he still held back, "You have always had your own opinions and you don't act rashly. Now that you are sure, then do it with all your heart. There is no need to worry about what the master can help you with."

"Thank you for your trust, Master..."

Subsequently.

Chen Jing asked his master for someone.

The Qingnang Sect had been serving as mercenaries in the lower world. The eldest brother Zhao Kongxuan and the second brother Lei Ji both went to the lower world to develop early on.

This is just the Juetian Peak lineage. The twelve peaks of the Qingnang Sect have all sent their direct disciples to develop together in the lower world.

This not only blocks the gateway to foreign invasion, but also accumulates strength for development in the lower world one day.

At the moment, Chen Jing revealed hope. With the hope of allowing the Qingnang Sect to develop independently in the lower world, naturally, they should stop thinking about working as mercenaries for others.

"Master, I have obtained six flying boats and would like to bring Senior Brother and the others over..."

"oh?!"

Taoist Yun Ting's eyes lit up, "Six flying boats? All under your control?"

"Yes, I stole them all."

"Hahahaha, great!" Taoist Yun Ting couldn't help laughing with joy, and said, "Your senior brother's entire team is here, just send a boat to pick them up!"

After all, the eldest senior brother was once trained as the successor of the Qingnang Sect. In addition to the cultivation resources, supporting talents were also trained together. As for the cultivation, don’t look at the eldest senior brother who is only in the fourth realm. It is because it is not easy to go back and forth between the fifth realm, so he is stuck in the fourth realm.

Under normal circumstances, the eldest senior brother Zhao Kongxuan needs to stay in the lower world for two to three hundred years to accumulate enough experience in commanding troops, controlling subordinates, and fighting. Once this is completed, he will return to the sect.

After returning to the sect, he would first take over the Juetian Peak Cave Heaven and consolidate the Five Realms Cave Heaven Realm. Then, like Chen Jing, he would take over the Cave Heaven and continue to study in the Central Plains at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

After completing further studies in the Central Plains and accumulating knowledge in the Heavenly Realm, it will be time for me to return and inherit the family business and become the new patriarch.

This is the Qingnang Sect’s model for training a leader. This is how my Master Taoist Yun Ting came to be.

But this may not necessarily succeed, or the success rate is quite low. Before the eldest brother, there were actually several generations of successors.

They either died in a major war when the four realms accumulated in the lower realm.

Or maybe one survives to the end successfully and goes to the Central Plains to accumulate resources, but is still unable to reach the threshold of the Heavenly Man Realm, and can only come back to become a peak master.

If the eldest senior brother goes through this process, he still cannot reach the realm of heaven and man.

Then the master, Taoist Yun Ting, will look for another batch of talents and train a new generation of true disciples until the sect cultivates the next young person to reach the celestial realm.

In general, the Qingnang Sect has a complete selection and inheritance mechanism.

The eldest senior brother and the people around him are a ready-made reserve talent team who have been waiting for a place to show their talents. Now that Chen Jing wants to expand the territory for the Qingnang Sect, they are just the right people to take over.

After confirming this here.

Chen Jing sent out his three new dogs, and only sent Sunset Dog and Nether Dog with the flying boat to pick up people. As for the White Jade Dog, he had to keep it in his hands.

Lord Chen is an upright person. Of course, he did not keep a hostage for the sake of keeping a hostage. He had already agreed early on that he would treat the White Jade Dog's injuries. After all, if the White Jade Dog did not receive treatment, it would die.

As an experienced flying boat hunter, Sanquan has done jobs that cost his life. Now he was just flying the flying boat to pick someone up, so naturally there would be no mistakes and he soon arrived at his destination.

That is the first layer of the region, and also the main battlefield when the sky and the abyss expand and the realms intersect. Every moment, evil demons from deeper regions arrive, trying to break through the defenses established here by many forces in Shenzhou.

It was also the first time that Sunset Dog and Nether Dog were so close to the legendary Shenzhou. Because of the influence of Tianyuan, the realm that was originally far away from Shenzhou could briefly overlap with Shenzhou.

They had been traveling through the thin sea of ​​chaos for a short while when the abyss suddenly appeared. A region of the lower realm merged with Shenzhou, and the bizarre scenes in each other's worlds appeared together.

Sunset Dog's expression suddenly changed. He and Phantom Dog looked at each other and saw each other's horror.

——Just now, as the abyss appeared, an instinctive desire arose in my heart, trying to step into that land.

"This Shenzhou Tianyuan is so strange..." Sunset Dog suppressed his inexplicable throbbing, "Be careful, this first level of the underworld is not peaceful, there are battlefields everywhere, let's pick up the people and leave immediately."

"Go, go, go. We can't stay here. If we run around, we might be caught and beaten to death by the monks from Shenzhou." The Nether Dog was nervous.

In the eyes of most lower world forces, Shenzhou is an infinitely beautiful realm.

After the three holy places defeated the Netherworld Sect, the label of powerful was added.
