Compared to last year, the size of the trading area has expanded.

Every street is more lively than last year.

However, what slightly surprised Meng Zhou was that this year's bustle was happening. From the conversation and temperament of the monks coming and going, Meng Zhou could probably tell that although there were many foreign monks, there were much fewer monks from the Blue Blood Plain than last year.

Moreover, the expressions of these few Jixueyuan monks unconsciously showed heavy and depressed expressions.

When Meng Zhou saw this, he was quite puzzled, but he did not discuss the matter in detail and went straight to his destination.

Because the Jade Blood Army had arranged for fake elixirs to come and take charge this year, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Meng Zhou did not directly enter the opponent's store through earth escape and stealth.

Instead, he entered the store with dignity as Ge Ping Ge Pharmacist.

The moment Meng Zhou entered the door, he saw Tu Baiyao greeting him with an eager face.

Because his face changed so quickly, you can even see the anxious look on his face before this change.

"Mr. Ge, we've finally waited for you!" Although he tried his best to restrain himself, the eagerness and excitement in his heart could still be seen.

Meng Zhou once again thought of what he had just seen on the road, and asked doubtfully: "Fellow Taoist Tu, what happened in Bixueyuan?"

Tu Baiyao nodded and said sadly: "Just five days ago, a huge beast attack occurred in the Blue Blood Plains."

Meng Zhou was shocked when he heard this and asked: "Is the loss big?"

Tu Baiyao nodded again and said: "It's very big, the Qi Practitioners have lost a lot.

However, fortunately, the foundation-building monks all have experience in this area, so few people died directly.

However, he was seriously injured and used secret techniques such as Burning Life, Burning Blood, and Disintegration, which resulted in the collapse of many foundations."

Meng Zhou's expression also became serious, he nodded and said, "No wonder I didn't see a few Jixueyuan monks when I came here just now."

Tu Baiyao shook his head and said: "You see few people, but that's not the reason.

The monks who came to participate in this exchange meeting were all fine. They had received the bad news about the Blue Blood Plains three days ago, on the 20th, so 10% of them were left to continue participating in the exchange meeting, and the remaining 90% returned urgently for support.

"

Meng Zhou was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "You mean, the beast tide happened after the exchange group left the Blue Blood Plains?"

Tu Baiyao nodded heavily.

"We left the Blue Blood Army on September 16th. Because of the special situation in Sanchuan Plain this year, the Blue Blood Army will have in-depth cooperation with Sanchuan.

For this trip, Bixueyuan prepared for more than half a year. Not only did they capture more monsters that could be used in the Sanchuan Plain, but the size of the crew on board was also far greater than before.

Who would have thought that just two days after we left, in the middle of the night on the 18th, the Blue Blood Plains suffered the largest beast attack in more than 40 years."

"Every year, from mid-September to early October, because of attending the exchange meeting in Mikawahara, the power of Bixueyuan is at its weakest, especially this year!

It just happened that these beasts took advantage of this opportunity!"

Having said this, Tu Baiyao's face showed a look of sadness and a look of luck and fear.

"Fortunately, the quantity and quality of foundation building in Bixueyuan have been greatly improved in the past few years. Especially the fellow Taoists who were treated by Mr. Ge last year all performed extremely well during this beast wave attack.

If not, the current situation in Bixueyuan would have unpredictable consequences!"

Having said this, Tu Boyao looked at Meng Zhou with deep gratitude in his eyes.

Meng Zhou had no intention of paying attention to this. After hearing Tu Baiyao's story, Meng Zhou's first thought was: "Is there such a coincidence?"

He asked: "You said that the scale of this beast wave is the largest in the past 40 years. What was the situation like last time?"

Tu Baiyao said: "The last time it happened was forty-seven years ago. At that time, Qingxuanzong wanted to use pill formation as a vanguard to vigorously manage the outer ring area. In the end, it provoked a fierce reaction from the third-level demon, and finally brewed a huge cross-border war.

Tide of evil beasts.”

Meng Zhou nodded and thought to himself: "That's right."

"That time, Bixueyuan was hit more severely than this time.

However, it was precisely because of that crisis that the establishment of a standardized and well-disciplined Blue Blood Army became the consensus of all forces in the Blue Blood Plains."

Meng Zhou nodded, then asked:

"Fellow Daoist Tu, do you have any guesses about this beast attack?"

Tu Baiyao nodded and said:

"I have been in Sanchuan Yuan for the past year and have not personally experienced the situation in the Blue Blood Plains. However, according to some information circulated internally, it is speculated that it is related to our excessive hunting of surrounding evil veins in the past two years."

"Oh?" Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows.

"You also know how ridiculous the price of materials has been in the past two years..."

Following Tu Baiyao's narration, Meng Zhou also understood the origin of this statement.

In the past, although Blue Blood Plains would also hunt monsters, their enthusiasm was not as high as it has been in the past two years.

The more you hunt, the cheaper monster materials will become.

In this case, what's the point of fighting to the death and risking more lives to hunt deep into the evil veins?

Just control a stable output every year and that's it.

There is even a tacit understanding among the forces within the Blue Blood Plains. In order to ensure the stability of the price of monster-type materials, each force will have an approximate "hunting amount."

But this situation has changed since Qingxuan Sect began to export a large amount of Foundation Building Pills, as well as other kinds of precious pills and magic weapons.

As much as you hunt, you can sell as much as you hunt.

Moreover, even under this situation, the price of monster materials is still rising slowly.

Those evil veins that were originally dangerous in the eyes of cultivators suddenly turned into rich gold mines.

Of course, we must do our best to dig as much as possible.

In the past two years, the wealth earned by Bixueyuan each year has exceeded the accumulation in the past ten years or even more.

However, the monks of Bixueyuan do not have the habit of saving money.

When resources are earned, they must be spent.

As a result, these resources were turned into more and better magic weapons and elixirs, including foundation-building elixirs. The strength of Bixueyuan expanded rapidly at a rate far exceeding any previous period.

This change, in turn, accelerated the hunting of surrounding evil veins by cultivators in the Blue Blood Plains.

In the past, those second-level high-quality and even second-level top-level monsters that were entrenched deep in the evil veins and in dangerous places that everyone feared to avoid have become the targets of hunting.

In order to deepen the cooperation with the Sanchuan Society and have a greater say in the third-order spiritual land that is just around the corner in the future, the Blue Blood Plain has shown a kind of "extremely evil" greed.

I wish I could capture all the monsters in these evil veins that can be used for large-scale spiritual field management, and force them to the Sanchuan Plain to squeeze their potential.

The Blue Blood Plains, which was originally surrounded by evil veins and should have been on the absolute defensive, has shown exciting high-spiritedness and pride in the past two years.

The current tide of beasts can be regarded as a backlash of extreme joy and sorrow.

No matter how low the intelligence of the monster beasts is, the huge wave of beasts crossing the evil veins that happened forty or fifty years ago has already issued a warning.

When the monsters in the area generally feel that their living environment is seriously challenged, they will rally in groups and rebound.

After listening to Tu Baiyao's explanation, Meng Zhou nodded and said nothing more on the matter.

But I couldn't help but think: "Is it really such a coincidence?"

Meng Zhou was thinking this in his mind, but still asked with concern on his face: "Is there anything you need me to do?"

It was rare for him to take the initiative to ask such a question.

If there was a fight between human monks, as long as he was not involved, no matter how fierce the fight was, even if one of the parties was on the verge of annihilation, Meng Zhou's choice would only be to walk away.

However, the conflict between human monks and monster beasts is different. If the two sides are in a tense situation, whichever side gains more power, the living space of the other side will be tighter.

In the end, this influence can also be passed on to him, a human monk.

By making the monk's overall practice environment more relaxed, he, a fish in the pond, will feel more at ease.

On the contrary, he will be subject to more constraints.

After hearing his question, Tu Baiyao's face flashed with joy.

He said hurriedly: "This time, the exchange group set out from the Blue Blood Plains. In addition to the monks who had returned to support and stayed to participate in the exchange meeting normally, there were also thirty patients on board.

I hope Mr. Ge can help them recover as soon as possible.

After they recover, they will immediately return to the Blue Blood Plain to strengthen the defense of the Blue Blood Plain.

In addition, after they return, they will replace those fellow Taoists who were seriously injured in this beast wave and whose foundations have been shaken in various ways, and then they will be rushed to Sanchuan Yuan. I hope that Mr. Gao Yi will be able to take action again.

."

Meng Zhou didn't hesitate and nodded directly to agree to the matter.

"OK."

Tu Baiyao said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements right now!"

With that said, Tu Baiyao has already sent out a summons.

While waiting for the injured patient who was waiting elsewhere to come over, Tu Baiyao, who had finished sending the summons, seemed to have thought of something, and said softly "ah", and took out a jade bottle in his hand.

He held it with both hands, carefully, as if there was something terrifying in the bottle that he needed to handle with care.
