After the Deputy Hall Master Cao Bin had essentially completed control of the entire "Observation Hall", Meng Zhou's originally somewhat uncertain plan became completely clear.

After having a precise plan, the biggest problem before Meng Zhou became one: time.

He has too much preliminary preparation to do, and his time is limited.

Of course, if he is willing to endure the state of "the peak of pill formation and no progress" in his cultivation for a long time, then he has plenty of time.

But obviously, no practitioner can endure such a state.

Naturally, Meng Zhou couldn't either.

Therefore, in Meng Zhou's mind, when his cultivation reaches the peak of pill formation, the next step should be to charge towards Nascent Soul.

The whole process was smooth and silky, with no pauses in between.

Meng Zhou had even basically drawn up a rough "planning schedule" in his mind.

Based on his current progress, after he completes the retreat practice at the age of ninety-nine, his cultivation will reach the limit of his current state, and there will be no progress.

If you don’t want to waste your time, your next retreat will be the time to charge towards the Nascent Soul realm.

At that time, no more, no less, he happened to be over a hundred years old.

Not to mention anything else, just at this age, she looks full of a mysterious and unique beauty.

"This is the day appointed by God!"

But in this case, time is very tight.

Now, Meng Zhou is in the second half of his ninety-fourth year.

There are still five years and a few months left before I reach the age of 100.

And if you exclude the retreat period in January every year, there will be even less time left.

In his plan, within this limited time, he must frequently enter and leave different "wild areas". This is an essential step in Meng Zhou's plan.

Meng Zhou imagined in his mind that if the conditions in the other seven wilderness areas were similar to the five areas he once practiced, that is, the "Giant Wilderness Territory".

So, if he can make full use of these five years or so, he can complete all the layout before he is 100 years old, and he can even push the time forward a little.

But if he stays in a "wilderness" for too long due to the random uncertainty of return applications in various wilderness areas, then the limited time will be very tight and even become insufficient.

The best way is just like the "Hongze Wasteland" he has determined at the moment.

Ten days later a monk entered, and he entered with him;

Fifty-five days later, another monk left, and he left with him.

There is a clear return time before entering, and the interval is not too far away, which avoids the possibility of him entering a "wilderness" and being trapped there for a long time.

"It would be great if everything was like this in the wild land of Hongze." Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

But Meng Zhou knew that it was accidental that the intervals between transfer applications from the same "wilderness" were so short.

More often than not, the time interval between transfer applications for the same "wilderness" will exceed two months. In other words, he cannot determine the next "hitchhiker" before entering a previous "wilderness".

The time to return to Xingxiu Sea.

When he thought of this, Meng Zhou naturally had an idea in his mind.

"After entering a certain wilderness, before starting other actions, can I choose a new target, and through secret guidance, let the monks who originally applied for return months later apply for return immediately?

In this way, I can basically control the time it takes to enter each wilderness area to about two months."

With a clear time plan, there is a stable prerequisite for the plan to be fully implemented.

Meng Zhou felt that the idea he came up with was a good idea, and the problem was properly solved.

But soon, Meng Zhou felt relieved again.

"wrong!"

The solution he came up with certainly solved his own problem very well.

But if you look at it from the perspective of the "Observation Hall", you will see a subtle sense of disharmony.

Originally, the intervals between transfer applications in the same "wilderness" were relatively random, and it was extremely rare that the interval was within two months.

But after handling it like this, "random" is no longer truly random. There are fixed rules, and "extremely accidental" situations are no longer accidental.

If this situation only happens three or five times in a row, you might be able to get past it.

But if it continues for three to five years, unless the top management of Xingxiu Palace are all blind or fools, it will be impossible to fool them!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the "Observation Hall" is now the most important department of the Xingxiu Palace. Not only can it mobilize all the alchemy monks, it can even influence the schedule of the True Monarch Nascent Soul. It is watched by countless pairs of eyes.

This seemingly easy-to-solve problem actually did not solve it, but instead created a bigger problem.

"Then...how should we do it?"

Meng Zhou thought in his mind.

Meng Zhou, who was thinking hard to no avail, was suddenly startled when his thoughts fell on Cao Bin. Then he suddenly enlightened and laughed at himself:

"There is clearly an upright solution, so why do you think about it in a shady direction?... It must be under the influence of 'Uncle Zheng', it must be!"

…

Cave, study.

Cao Bin was holding a jade slip in one hand, and his index finger was like a small sword moving flexibly in the air. From time to time, sharp sword energy would shoot out from his fingertips.

These sword energy will be blocked and disintegrated by a tough but invisible force before being shot towards the surrounding walls and other objects and furnishings.

The blocked fierce sword energy quickly dissipated and disappeared into the void.

What Cao Bin didn't know was that within his body, there was a wonderful spiritual connection to a small snake in the animal bag on his waist.

There is nothing wrong with this spiritual connection in itself. It is what he relies on to control this little snake.

Without this contract connection, he would have no control over the little snake.

Therefore, even if he is aware of the existence of this spiritual connection, he will not feel anything wrong.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, a mysterious and mysterious force was quietly seeping into his body along the contract connection.

Some thoughts that he had thrown into the corner were like debris, floating in his mind for no reason.

This inexplicable thought even affected his coherent and focused thinking, and the smooth sword energy on his fingertips suddenly stopped.

Cao Bin was stunned.

When he understood what those unprovoked thoughts were, he was even more surprised.

As the nominal second-in-command of the Observation Hall, he is actually the first-in-command.

At first, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the real palace master, and to show that he was not keen on this job, let alone have the temperament to take over power, he tried to do it for a while when the observation palace was just running.

The "non-stick pan".

You don’t make your own decisions on everything, all decisions are made through discussion.

Brainstorm ideas.

Observe how the temple operates and everyone can make suggestions.

What we need to do in the end is to vote in accordance with the principle that the minority obeys the majority.

But later it was discovered that this efficiency was too low.

A lot of time is wasted in meaningless discussions of different opinions.

For this reason, it even attracted severe criticism from Yuanying Ancestor.

"Where do so many opinions come from? Where do so many discussions come from?"

"The pros and cons are so clearly divided, is it necessary?"

"For many things, it can be done this way or that way, and anyone can tell some truth.

Do you really have to sit next to each other and figure everything out clearly?!

Do we all have to wait until we figure it out?"

"To make a decision, what you have to do is make a decision immediately, idiot!"

This thought that Cao Bin had voluntarily thrown into the corner of his memory suddenly came to mind for no apparent reason, giving Cao Bin a nauseating feeling as if he had suddenly had his mouth stuffed with food.

Along with it, another related memory emerged.

At that time, after being severely reprimanded, Cao Bin's style suddenly changed, from "braining on ideas" to "acting dictatorially".

Soon, as Cao Bin made decisive decisions one after another, the operating rules of the "Observation Hall" were also determined.

At that time, among the many choices he had to make, there was this one.

"Do the alchemy monks who join the Observation Hall still need to go to the eight wastelands of the outer world?"

At that time, this issue caused a very heated discussion within the Observation Hall.

Finally, the interior of the observation hall has also achieved unity of opinion, and there is no need for it.

After Xingxiu Palace reappears, it will need to send a large number of alchemy monks to guard the eight wastelands in the outside world. With such a large number and long-term demand, it is naturally impossible to require all Xingxiu Palace to develop their alchemy style and actively apply.
