Today''s yuqingzong doesn''t look like a kitten in those days.


    Although the second rate sect does not exist in the Shenhua domain, compared with the third rate in those years, Yuqing sect is now well-known in this northwest region. And this reputation, naturally more people are willing to worship the door and wall of yuqingzong. Even though Yuqing emperor raised the standard of accepting disciples, the number of external disciples was still growing rapidly.


    From the perspective of the development of a sect, this is certainly a good phenomenon. Apart from the great freedom sect, which sect would think it has more disciples? Under certain standards, the more the number of disciples, the higher the probability of talents. For the simplest example, if there is one Jindan master among 100 disciples, if there are 1000 disciples, it means that there are likely to be 10 Jindan masters.


    However, with a large number of disciples, there will be some corresponding problems.


    These trivial things, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, can be solved with money. They are not a problem for the monastic sect, so there is no need to talk about them. The real problem lies in cultivating disciples. To put it bluntly, it is the problem of resource allocation.


    One of the so-called resources is the "faculty" in the world of science and technology. One person teaches ten people and one person teaches 100 people. The effect will certainly be different. The other is the real material resources that are essential in cultivation.


    In today''s cultivation environment, when it comes to the most essential resources in cultivation, it''s natural that it''s pills. If you don''t have a pill, you can absorb the aura of heaven and earth only by your own ability, no matter how good your qualification will be delayed. For many people with average qualifications, stepping into a realm earlier may mean that the limited future has been extended.


    Yuqingzong jumped from a third rate sect to a second rate sect. The number of disciples in the sect also increased sharply, and the demand for pills naturally increased greatly. Although Ye Zan uses the pharmaceutical methods of the world of science and technology, he can produce basic pills in large quantities and quickly, and the quality is still the best. However, whether it is alchemy or pharmacy, if there is not enough herbal materials, everything is useless.


    Although yezan also improved the planting methods of some herbs and opened up a large area of medicine garden in the secret place of summer. But herbs, after all, are not crops. It is impossible to harvest once a year, or even two or three times a year. The result of early harvest is that the medicinal power of herbs is not enough. Refining the same pill requires more herbs. The gain is not worth the loss.


    Those disciples consume a lot of pills every day, and some of the herbs planted by yuqingzong take at least two or three years to use. In this way, the problem will come. According to the current resource allocation mode of yuqingzong, there will be no materials for producing pills soon.


    People are very realistic. Don''t think that if others join your sect, they must hold the great goal of expanding your sect for you. You know, the reason why so many disciples with good qualifications join yuqingzong is that yuqingzong is famous, but more importantly, yuqingzong''s welfare is good enough.


    After all, yuqingzong was just promoted to the second rate sect. Why should people not go to those old second rate sects and come to you? That''s because no sect can give its disciples the best pill as vitamin tablets like them.


    If one day the best pill is really cut off, or the supply is greatly reduced. Although according to the rules of the world, it is almost impossible for those disciples who have already started to betray the door and go elsewhere, I''m afraid it''s difficult to receive new talented disciples.


    As the chief elder of the alchemy hall, Liu Qian saw that the consumption rate of pills became more and more terrible. He calculated the herbs planted in the medicine field and knew that according to this consumption rate, the food would be cut off soon, so he hurried to find Ye Zan to find a way.


    Ye Zan looked through the booklet sent by Liu Qian and soon saw the problem. He closed the booklet and asked, "it''s best not to change the supply of pills at will. Can you buy Herbs that are prone to gaps from elsewhere?"


    Today''s yuqingzong still has a bulging wallet, which is far from being as shabby as it was at the beginning. Moreover, ye Zan''s wealth is also quite terrible, so he has the confidence to say something like this: spend money to buy what he lacks.


    However, herbal medicine is a strategic resource for any sect. Moreover, many religious sects are just trying to maintain a balance. Where can more herbs be sold to others.


    Liu Qian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "elder ye, we''ve been buying what we can buy, but we can''t buy what we can''t buy at a higher price!"


    Yuqingzong naturally could not plant all the herbs. There are thousands of herbs in the world. Even if there is only one herb, I''m afraid yuqingzong can''t find so much space. Besides, what''s the use of planting only one herb? It''s not enough to refine a furnace of pills. Therefore, Yuqing sect has always been a kind of buying part, and most of the other sects are the same. However, we exchange what we need with each other through transactions.


    Ye Zan actually knows this. He just wants to save some things. After all, the problems that can be solved with money are basically not a problem for him. Unfortunately, this problem can not be solved with money. Even if ye Zan pays a high price, training disciples is the most important problem for all sects.


    Ye Zan shook his head reluctantly, put the booklet in his hand on the next table and said, "well, I''ll think of another way to do this. At least adjust the ration. Don''t do it for the time being. Anyway, this herbal medicine can last for a period of time."


    In fact, at this time, ye Zan has thought of a way, that is, the small world of Xiangong. After setting up Skynet in the small world, he has mastered the situation in the small world in great detail. Basically, the herbs that yuqingzong lacks now can be found in the small world.


    However, this method can only solve the urgent problem. To completely solve the problem, ye Zan still needs to find another way. After all, no matter where it is, the growth period of this herb has a certain number, and Xiangong small world is no exception. Moreover, the monks in the small world of the fairy Palace also need to practice with the help of pills. Taking the herbs there to fill the hole of the jade Qing emperor is basically robbing East walls to make up for west walls.


    "Well... Please take care of elder Ye." Liu Qian had no choice. Ye Zan said so, so he had to wait a little longer.


    After talking about herbs, Liu Qian didn''t stay much. He got up and said goodbye to Ye Zan and Wu Changsheng. With a worried face, he went back to his lingwufeng alchemy hall. To be honest, he really didn''t have much hope that ye Zan could come up with a way. After all, ye Zan is just a person. Even with more magical means, can you make those herbs grow and mature in the twinkling of an eye?


    Some things seem common, but no one can change them, because they are the fixed number of the way of heaven. For example, the four seasons flow. Even if someone can make snow fly in June and thunder in winter, they can''t really reverse the four seasons. In Liu Qian''s opinion, the growth of this herb is also certain. No one can easily change how long it can grow and have enough medicine.


    Ye Zan and Wu Changsheng send Liu Gan out of the yard, and then return to the living room together.


    After sitting down again, ye Zan asked Wu Changsheng, "I don''t know what''s going on here?"


    Wu Changsheng bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the three people you asked your disciples to investigate have just heard back."


    The three people Wu Changsheng said were the three great gods of the mysterious forces who intercepted Ye Zan and Mo Rushi on the way. At first, after ye Zan and others killed the three people, ye Zan received the bodies of the three people and read some memories from the three bodies. But those memories are not about the mysterious forces, but some memories before the three became the great power of the yuan God.


    Therefore, ye Zan sent the information back to Wu Changsheng and asked Wu Changsheng to investigate the real origin of the three people according to the information to see if he could find clues about the mysterious forces.


    However, the Shenhua domain is so large. Although the scope of those information has been reduced a lot, it is not easy to investigate a result. Besides, although Yuqing sect is a second rate sect, its sphere of influence is limited to the northwest. It''s difficult to do anything outside its own territory, let alone investigate such three dead people.


    Fortunately, ye Zan''s position in yuqingzong is unusual. Wu Changsheng also gave a death order to the disciple in charge of the investigation. Only in this way can the information be transmitted back so quickly.


    "Oh, what did you find?" yezan asked.


    Now, ye Zan himself has become the target of the mysterious forces, and naturally pays more attention to the mysterious forces. After all, no one wants to be always remembered, even if there is no loss, but who can guarantee that there will be no accident in the future. What ye Zan wants to do now is to quickly find out the origin of the mysterious force, and then smash all the nuclear bombs in his inventory, so as to completely erase the mysterious force of dog day.


    Of course, I think so. Ye Zan is also very clear. It will not be easy to really find out the origin of each other. If it were so easy to find out, the mysterious force would not be mysterious for a long time. It''s impossible to get him to investigate.


    Sure enough, hearing Ye Zan''s question, Wu Changsheng looked a little ashamed and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me. There are not many things found, and two of them have made no progress at all. It''s the identity of the third one, Zhang Guangming. The disciple in charge of the investigation found some clues."


    Wu Changsheng was afraid that ye Zan''s expectations were too high, so he gave him a preventive shot first. Frankly, there was not much information found, so as not to make ye Zan angry in disappointment.


    Ye Zan smiled, waved his hand and said, "OK, I know it''s hard to check. If you can find anything, you can make money. Just say it."


    "Yes," Wu Changsheng said after he was relieved. "According to the information given by the Supreme Master, the disciples sent people to explore Yanzhou in the southeast Daqi state. At first, they didn''t find any information related to this Guangming. Not long ago, he found a local family and found a genealogy from his collection of ancient books, which gave him some clues."


    Ancient Works? Genealogy? Ye Zan is a little confused, but he doesn''t interrupt Wu Changsheng. Instead, he quietly listens to the other party and continues to talk.


    Wu Changsheng did not show off, and then said: "The ancestor of that family used to be the elder of a clan, but the clan had been destroyed hundreds of years ago. The elder escaped for some reasons. The genealogy is the object of that clan. In the genealogy, according to the information given by the Supreme Master, he found a name that is the same as the person said by the Supreme Master."


    A single name certainly doesn''t mean much. There are more than hundreds of millions of people in Shenhua domain, and it''s not uncommon to have people with the same name. However, since Wu Changsheng said he found some clues, it must be more than that.


    Therefore, ye Zan is not in a hurry and continues to listen patiently.


    "Then, according to the information of the genealogy, he checked other names and finally found two people of the same generation as Zhang Guangming, who are already Yuanying realm. However, they didn''t take any airs when they heard that it was Yuqing sect. Especially after hearing some information about Zhang Guangming described by him, they confirmed that the man was indeed the one they knew Guangming. "Wu Changsheng said this, stopped for a moment, and then said," so if those two people didn''t panic, then it''s certain that Zhang Guangming, whom the Supreme Master asked to investigate, should be this person. "


    As he spoke, Wu Changsheng took out some things, including an old genealogy, and then some notes, some of which were newly written.


    "So, Zhang Guangming was a disciple of Luo Tianzong who disappeared hundreds of years ago?" Ye Zan took those things and picked up the genealogy first. On the cover of the genealogy, there were three words Luo Tianzong.


    However, there is a problem. If the person is a person hundreds of years ago, where is the memory of hundreds of years? You know, from that broad memory, ye Zan did not see the collapse of Luo Tianzong, which means that the other party disappeared before the collapse of Luo Tianzong. Although, from other data, there is nothing strange about the collapse of Luo Tianzong, but it is the only thing One''s father, Yuanying, failed to pass the pass, and then broke up under various problems. However, ye Zan also doubts that the collapse of Luo Tianzong may have something to do with the mysterious force.


    Of course, ye Zan doesn''t care much about how Luo Tianzong didn''t, but more about how the mysterious force came from. Although it seems that it''s not very useful to just check the origin of Zhang Guangming, it''s a good sign to find it. Therefore, if anyone doesn''t know, except for himself, the mysterious force may not be seamless.
