Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 215 - 145: The Destruction of Red Leaf Square
The few boisterous people earlier fell silent instantly.
Soon, all the cultivators in the Immortal City were registered and organized according to their cultivation.
Those with cultivation skills were separately assigned to the logistics team, under Zhou Xun’s command.
At the sa ti, all major forces within the Immortal City mobilized their stockpiled spirit material resources, all requisitioned by the Immortal City.
Compensation was given at eighty percent of the market price, in spirit stones.
Zhou Xun’s Danhai Pavilion was also within the scope of requisition, and as the current chief steward of logistics, he responded imdiately.
The entire Danhai Pavilion, with more than twenty alchemists from Zhou Jingsong downwards, were fully requisitioned.
Currently, under Zhou Xun’s command, there were as many as four hundred alchemists.
Zhou Xun divided them into eight teams, led by those Tier Two alchemists.
Talisman makers numbering over one thousand two hundred, artifact refiners over eight hundred, and more than a thousand others like spirit doctors, spirit slaughterers, spirit chefs, etc.
As for the array, beast taming, insect extermination, puppet, and poison resistance, all were under Zuo Qifan’s command.
Moreover, there were over a hundred law enforcent cultivators in the Immortal City, led by Yuan Pan’er, standing firm for Zhou Xun.
Anyone defying orders would be suppressed by Yuan Pan’er and others.
White Cloud Immortal City, Cloud Light Hall.
Originally, Cloud Light Hall was a miscellaneous affairs hall, now used by Zhou Xun as a place for discussion.
Zhou Xun sat at the head seat,
Lu Qingyuan, in charge of alchemy, sat to the left of Zhou Xun, and Tian Yu, in charge of spirit material resource allocation, sat to the right.
Beyond them were those in charge of talisman making, magical artifacts, healing, transport, etc., seated on both sides.
"Junior Brother, all alchemists have been consolidated and are ready to begin alchemy!" At this mont, Lu Qingyuan stood up.
As Master White Cloud’s disciple and simultaneously a Tier Two High-Grade Alchemist, Lu Qingyuan naturally oversaw all the alchemist teams.
"What kind of elixir does Senior Brother think is best for refining?" Zhou Xun inquired.
"In battle with demon beasts, there will surely be many injured, making healing pills a necessity, followed by Qi Recovery Elixirs!"
"We should prioritize these two types of elixirs!" Lu Qingyuan thought for a mont and replied.
Zhou Xun nodded; he knew this as well.
The reason for asking was to give this senior brother face.
After all, his own rank was the lowest, yet he occupied a higher position than him; acting in this way would ensure better cooperation from him.
"Senior Brother’s wise words; I’ll leave the alchemy matter to you!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands respectfully.
"Junior Brother, you’re too polite!" Lu Qingyuan returned the courtesy and then sat down.
"Senior Brother Tian, how is the preparation of spirit material for refining healing pills and Qi Recovery Pills?" Zhou Xun asked.
"Since the beast tide was called upon, our Immortal City began accumulating relevant spirit dicine, according to my estimates, this should support the Immortal City for at least half a year!"
Tian Yu also stood up to reply.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded,
being able to gather such a large collection of spirit dicine, this could only be achieved with White Cloud Immortal City stepping in.
Subsequently, Zhou Xun assigned tasks to several heads, and everyone then departed.
...
Red Leaf Square.
After the Lin Family left, they were quickly discovered.
"The Lin Family ran away!"
Looking at the fully opened guardian array of the Lin Family Territory, those remaining understood they had fled.
Recalling the ssage previously inford by Patriarch Lin, they beca anxious.
Without the Lin Family guarding Red Leaf Square, how could those scattered cultivators possibly withstand the beast tide!
Soon, a large number of low-tier cultivators rushed out of the market gate, heading away from Hundred Savage Mountain.
However, the outskirts of Red Leaf Square were sward with demon beasts.
Their journey was destined to be perilous.
Wei Shangyi’s only son, Wei Hong, was also in the fleeing group.
Yet, having been advised by his father, he left early, taking the route paved by the Lin Family.
With the Lin Family leading the way, Wei Hong and his mother were able to pass safely, encountering no danger.
Moreover, without the Lin Family’s deterrent, Red Leaf Square instantly descended into chaos.
Nurous cultivators turned into tribulation cultivators in an instant!
Just like forty years ago, chaos once again descended upon Red Leaf Square.
The sounds of killing and shouting echoed endlessly.
Regardless of shops or private cave mansions, all were afflicted.
Zhao’s Pill Shop, a renowned elixir shop, naturally was first to be attacked.
Wei Shangyi had long hidden in a secret chamber, avoiding disaster.
Within a single day, at least one-third of the cultivators perished in the chaos.
After this ordeal, these cultivators lost the will to resist demon beasts and abandoned Red Leaf Square, fleeing in all directions.
Nevertheless, without the Lin Family’s channel opened up, the demon beasts reclaid the area.
The departing cultivators beca easy prey, dying one after another in the mouths of demon beasts.
Only a small number of extrely lucky individuals managed to escape the pursuit.
On the third day, the beast tide erging from Hundred Savage Mountain, led by three great demons, finally reached outside Red Leaf Square.
At this point, Red Leaf Square’s gate was wide open.
Only those unable to leave and those clinging to luck remained.
Soon, this group of demon beasts poured in like a tide,
the leftover cultivators made no ripple before being subrged in the beast tide.
However, the Lin Family’s Mountain Protection Array managed to hold back the demon beasts.
But under the attack of a Tier Three Demon Wolf, it was soon overwheld.
Thus, the dicinal Field cultivated by the Lin Family over decades suffered calamity once more.
An hour later, the demon beasts charged out of Red Leaf Square once again, leaving behind only ruins.
No trace of human presence remained.
Wei Shangyi also perished in the mouths of these demon beasts.
Then these demon beasts pursued those fleeing cultivators from Red Leaf Square, scattering in chase.
...
White Cloud Immortal City.
At each mont, waves of spirit light gathered from all directions.
Many were spiritual boats several dozen feet long, filled with cultivators.
The old, young, n, and won.
Apparently, these were all nearby cultivation clans retreating here.
In just one day, more than a dozen cultivation clans entered White Cloud Immortal City, later integrated into the city’s cultivator team.
As ti passed,
less and less escape light arrived at White Cloud Immortal City.
Virtually every nearby force had received the news and hurriedly ca to White Cloud Immortal City to seek refuge.
Those yet to arrive were mostly faraway ones.
In fact, they hadn’t even received news of the beast tide.
As for their fate, they could only hope for the best.
Zhou Xun naturally also sent out people to notify Wei Qiuxin at Wangchuan Lake, simultaneously sending over the array manipulation token.
With Wei Qiuxin’s Foundation Establishnt stage cultivation and the quasi-third tier array, the probability of holding Wangchuan Lake Daoist Field was relatively high.
Wangchuan Lake, located behind White Cloud Immortal City, was relatively secure.
Even if demon beasts strayed there, unless it was a Tier Three Great Demon, they couldn’t breach Wangchuan Lake.
Therefore, in Zhou Xun’s view, Wangchuan Lake was still extrely safe.
If not for being taken as a disciple by Master White Cloud and entrusted with responsibility.
After refining the elixirs, he would have returned to Wangchuan Lake to hold the fort.
