Chapter 107: Shocking News of the Exploration War

Every few decades, a certain number of Yuanying Zhenjun will be born in the school. Yuanying Zhenjun needs to build a temple and needs land to support itself. If the original land is not enough, they will organize a war of development.

Either attack the indigenous sect to seize territory, or seize territory from the demon tribe.

There are two options for grabbing territory from the demon clan. One is the Mangcang Mountains, and the other is the Yunmeng Lake.

Among them, Yunmeng Lake is a huge swamp that stretches for unknown tens of thousands of miles. The environment there is extremely harsh. Most of the inhabitants are aquatic monsters, and most of the resources are inconvenient to develop.

The Mangcang Mountains are also inhabited by monsters and beasts, but it is land after all, and is easier to develop than the Yunmeng Swamp. In previous wars of development, eight or nine out of ten chose to develop deeper into the Mangcang Mountains.

Su Ze listened with great interest. These were all very interesting and he was quite interested.

But they didn't chat for too long. As Song Jia walked in and coughed lightly, everyone sat up straight.

Song Wan walked in a little while later, and everyone hurriedly greeted the instructor.

The instructor, who was still elegant as ever, nodded and glanced at everyone. When he saw Su Ze, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Su Ze is great, he has made great progress!"

"You can move up to second grade next year."

Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at him. Song Qingyang and Wu Yan, who were also freshmen, had different expressions.

Song Wan had no intention of explaining further and spoke again:
"This year's assessment is exempted."

This time Su Ze was also stunned for a moment. Ji Jinglun, who was at the top, asked:

"Teacher, is it because of the pioneering war?"

Song Wan nodded:

"I think you have all heard the rumor. It is true. The dean and the two directors have decided to officially start the war to explore the Mangcang Mountains next year."

"This year's assessment has been cancelled, and everyone has a mission."

"All the students of the professors and associate professors in our department need to participate in this pioneering war. Jinglun Zhengcheng, you two don't need to go back to Fang City and Beppu for the time being. Next, prepare for this pioneering war."

His eyes fell on the first-year students Song Qingyang, Wu Yan and Su Ze, and said:
"You need to go out and gain experience in advance."

Su Ze quickly replied:

"It depends on the teacher's arrangement."

Song Wan nodded and continued:
"You have a week to prepare, and then gather at the Red Eagle Cliff in the Mangcang Mountains. The school has decided to build an outpost there and send out a call to all the independent cultivators and indigenous families under the academy. There will be many indigenous families and independent cultivators coming, including some families that are attached to me. You will make arrangements for them by then."

He glanced at the two fourth-year students and said in silence:
"This operation will be led by Jinglun, assisted by Zhengcheng, Xiyu will be responsible for registration, and the others will assist the brothers and sisters."

"Qingyang, Wu Yan and Su Ze, the three of you follow your senior brothers and sisters carefully, watch what they do, and remember it in your heart."

The three of them nodded in unison.

Song Wan then reminded them of some precautions and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

But none of them left. Ji Jinglun chatted with Dai Yucheng privately for a few words, and then said to them:
"The most important things in the early stages of the war are human resources and intelligence. Teacher Song Jia is in charge of resources. As for the rest of the personnel and intelligence, Junior Brother Zhengcheng and I discussed it. Junior Sister Xiyu, Junior Brother Qingyang and I will gather the many indigenous families under Master. Zhengcheng will take Zhengrong and Junior Brothers Wu Yan and Su Ze to collect intelligence."

Although they said it was a discussion, in fact the two leaders had already made the arrangements, so of course they had no choice but to agree.

Coming out of the hall, Dai Yucheng took out a flying boat and jumped on it, calling on them to come on board as well.

The flying boat soared into the sky, and Dai Yucheng said:
"Our mission is simple, to gather information and conduct reconnaissance. We have a good relationship with Junior Brother Zhengrong, so I will give you the intelligence on the development war."

Duan Zhengrong patted his chest vigorously:

"no problem."

Dai Yucheng nodded and said to Wu Yan and Su Ze:

"Our mission is to collect information on monsters and terrain in the areas that we plan to capture during the war. However, the dean has not yet decided which locations we will capture, so there is no clear mission for the time being."

"During this period, you can prepare some things, such as elixirs, talismans, magic tools, etc., to prepare for the war."

"correct."

He added with a smile:
"You don't have to be nervous or anxious. A pioneering war can last a very long time, at least seven or eight years, or even more than ten, twenty or thirty years. There's no need to rush. If you want to practice in seclusion, just tell me."

This sentence made everyone relax a lot.

Next, do whatever you want. If you want to buy something, go to the campus flea market run by school students with Dai Yucheng. If you don’t have anything to do, go home directly.

Su Ze just came out of the primitive world yesterday. He was almost autistic due to his seclusion. Of course, he didn't want to go back now.

The school flea market is very large. The school deliberately separated a small peak next to the Ziyun Peak in the center of the school, and flattened the top of the mountain into a large platform, on which the flea market is located.

The school has ten major departments, sixty to seventy full professors, more than two hundred associate professors, and tens of thousands of first to fourth year students.

Students in the third grade and above have to go out for training, face indigenous monks and monsters, and explore. From time to time, they will get some good stuff, such as spoils of war, magic weapons, elixirs, spiritual medicines, spiritual plants, spiritual minerals, spiritual objects, etc. If they don’t need them, they can sell them.

There are also many students who specialize in refining elixirs, artifacts and talismans. They refine various elixirs, spiritual tools and talismans and sell them here to exchange what they have with each other.

There are even many seniors who have graduated and stayed in school. Many of them have already broken through the Golden Core stage. Everything that flows out of their hands is top-notch stuff for students who are just building their foundation.

Such as third-level talismans, talismans and so on.

The flying boat landed on the platform, and several fellow disciples jumped off from the boat, just like a few drops of water merging into the sea, inconspicuous.

Everywhere you look, there are students coming and going. Their cultivation is extremely advanced. More than half of them have already established their foundation, and the rest have mostly completed Qi Refining. They only need their physical bodies to be strong enough before they can prepare to establish their foundation.

Compared with the mixed quality of disciples from indigenous sects, the disciples from the higher education institutions of various immortal sects in human civilization are obviously elites at first glance.

Dai Yucheng led them straight to the center of the flea market. Compared to the surrounding area where there were many set up stalls, there were many fixed shops. Senior Brother Dai had a shop there, specializing in selling various elixirs, talismans and magical instruments.

He buys them from students who specialize in refining instruments, making elixirs and talismans, and then resells them to students who are not good at these arts of cultivating immortals. The profits earned are used to provide for Brother Dai's daily practice.

Not only him, many senior students with status and position do the same.

Regardless of whether they have family support or not, they will try their best to run some industries to earn spirit stones.

Even Su Ze will be no exception in the future. After all, it is impossible to rely entirely on the family. If something unexpected happens and the family's supply is cut off, if he does not have his own source of funds, won't he go bankrupt directly?

There are many ways for practitioners to obtain funding, which can generally be divided into five categories.

One is to collect protection fees or offerings, but this requires sufficient strength.

One is to open your own shop, which usually requires a certain status to grab a popular shop.

One is to occupy a piece of resource land, such as spiritual mines, spiritual fields, markets and beppu. This requires very strong strength, at least Jindan level or above cultivation or combat power, or a strong backer behind to be qualified to touch these.

One is to venture into dangerous areas and collect all kinds of natural treasures. If you are lucky enough to find top-level natural treasures, you will become rich overnight.

The last type is robbery, which makes money the fastest but also carries the greatest risk.

Robbery is not something that can be tolerated in public. No matter who you are, even if you are a disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun, if you are killed during a robbery, your death will be in vain. Master Yuanying Zhenjun will never avenge you.

Of course, in addition to the above, there are some uncommon ways to make money.

For example, being hired as a thug or a killer.

If you have a very high level of cultivation skills, you can also make a lot of money.

However, according to the overall quality of human civilization, many immortal cultivation skills must be at least at the third level to make money. Below this level, they can only be used for personal use, and it is difficult to make money from them.

Take Su Ze for example. He had previously learned the four immortal cultivation skills of talisman making, weapon refining, alchemy, and formation. However, thanks to the characteristics of the golden finger, he has only reached the second level so far.

Because there is no specialized research, there are only a dozen or so pill recipes and refining formulas that I know.

At most, he can refine some common pills for his own use, but don't expect to sell them for money. He is not competitive at all compared with those who specialize in alchemy.

Unless your alchemy level can reach the third level or above and you can get the super rare recipe for Foundation Establishment Pill, you can make a lot of money.

The formula of the foundation-building pill
It is only in the hands of big families and powerful forces, so it is not difficult to learn it.

It’s like the Su family in Yuzhong has been passed down for more than 3,000 years, and they must have a recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but only a few people in the entire family know the recipe.

Apart from the ancestor, only the third and fourth level alchemists in the family can do it.

If family members want to learn it, they must show excellent talent for alchemy, and their alchemy skill level must reach level three or above.

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is only a second-level pill recipe, due to its special nature, it generally requires at least a third-level alchemist to refine it.

At this stage, Su Ze has not thought about getting the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but after he has mastered a few major skills, he will have plenty of time to study it carefully.

Alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, and formations, these four skills are extremely useful. Even if you don't use them to make money, it's good to be self-sufficient so you don't have to rely on others in the future.

Taking this into consideration, Su Ze then paid special attention to the various recipes on the market, regardless of whether it was for alchemy or refining equipment, and even ordered a large number of basic formation cards needed for formations.

Tai Chi, Liang Yi, San Cai, Si Xiang, Wu Xing, Liu He, Qi Xing, Ba Gua, Jiu Gong, and Shi Jue.

There are so many basic formation flags, adding up to hundreds of flags in a set, which cost nearly a hundred high-quality spirit stones.

These basic flags are not of high quality, only level two, but they can be seamlessly inserted into any basic formation containing the above ten, to replace or supplement them.

For example, his Thirty-Three Wonderful Formations involve the Four Symbols and the Eight Trigrams. If any of the formation flags is broken, a replacement can be taken out from the Four Symbols or Eight Trigrams basic flags without affecting the power of the formation.

In addition, many basic formations can be directly used with these flags, which is very flexible.

Just too expensive.

A set of hundreds of high-quality spirit stones, which are also consumables.

After buying the flags, Su Ze spent a large amount of money to order a large number of materials for alchemy and talismans from Senior Brother Dai Yucheng's shop, and put aside the refining of weapons for the time being.

Including all the materials for the formation, the total cost was 400 high-quality spirit stones.

“I’m running out of money.”

His entire fortune was left with only 1103 high-quality spirit stones, or 1 top-quality spirit stone. The next special recruitment subsidy would be in the third year, so he would have to wait another year.

“We have to find a way to make money.”

Su Ze pinched his chin, but couldn't think of a suitable method for a while.

After bidding farewell to his senior brother, Su Ze drove the flying boat back. As soon as he left the flea market, he received a new message. He clicked it and found that it was sent by Song Qingyang. He opened it and saw:
"I have been enrolled for a year and have yet to spar with my junior brother. I wonder if my junior brother is free today and would be willing to do me the honor of sparring with me."

Su Ze was speechless. As expected, the trouble was caused by the praise his tutor gave him in the morning.

Since entering school, Song Qingyang has always been arrogant and condescending. When they meet, they are just nodding acquaintances. No matter what he says or does, or in his heart, he doesn't think highly of him.

Today was supposed to be a routine test of cultivation, but the instructor praised Su Ze alone, which probably made him feel dissatisfied and wanted to come and see his strength in person.

Of course Su Ze would not refuse such an invitation:

"Okay, pick a place, I'll be there soon."

"East of Qingming Peak."

"I'm at the flea market. I'll be there in half an hour."

"I'm waiting for you."

The Lingyi flying boat turned and rushed towards Qingming Peak at an extremely fast speed.

Half an hour later, they arrived in front of Qingming Peak. The flying boat lowered its bow and flew eastward.

"I've already arrived."

"In front of the training hall No. 22."

"almost there."

Two minutes later, Su Ze came to a building built on the mountainside at the foot of Qingming Peak and saw Song Qingyang sitting there with an expressionless face.

Before he could arrive, Song Qingyang opened his eyes as if he had sensed something, leaped out of the peak, and Su Ze immediately followed.

There is a hilly area to the east of Qingming Peak, which is full of small hills several hundred meters high. It is the place for students of Qingming Academy to challenge each other.

There is no safe secret space like the one in No. 6 Middle School for them to use. The fights between students here are all with real guns and knives. If they are not careful, they may be killed.

Although school regulations prohibit intentional injury and attacks on vital parts such as the head, many students still die in competitions every year.

The two jumped to the top of a hill and immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Look, there are two people over there who want to fight."

Those who come and go nearby are all ordinary students from the Qingming Academy. They all like to watch the fight, not only to join in the fun, but also to gain some combat experience by watching others' sparring.

Before the two men made any move, more than a dozen people gathered around them.

"Damn, that's Song Qingyang, the disciple of Professor Song Wanzheng."

When someone in the crowd recognized Song Qingyang and shouted out his name and his identity as Master Song Wan's apprentice, more people immediately came to watch the fight, and in a short while hundreds of people gathered.
