The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 140 Direction
First seat! ?
What's the meaning! ?

Can this title be used casually?
The first seat, the first place.

Often represents the first person in a department or unit.

Yaoguang applied for the Purple Sky Academy, and was called the chief! ?

He is the head of Zixiao Academy! ?

This……

How can this be! ?
Zixiao Academy is a sect-level weapon-refining academy.

Directly under the jurisdiction of the Equipment Refining Hall.

The status of the head of such a weapon refining academy is so important that he can rank among the best in the entire Longxiong City and be on par with the leader of their Bailian Sect.

Yaoguang had just joined the Jiuding Sect, how could he possibly be able to take on such an important position! ?

Unfortunately, while she was stunned, Yaoguang had already left Bailianmen, and Huang Yunqi was too embarrassed to chase after him to ask.

I can only inquire secretly afterwards.

……

"Zong Yan and Ji Baichuan are not in Bailian Sect?"

In the car, Yaoguang asked.

"They both went to the capital early this morning to take the teaching certificate exam to prepare for applying for teaching positions at higher education institutions. They should be back the day after tomorrow."

Kong Xuan said.

Yaoguang nodded: "Send them a message and come to Zixiaoyuan when you come back."

When he came to Zixiaoyuan, some key departments had to arrange some trustworthy personnel.

Kong Xuan is one.

Zong Yan can also be considered half.

As for Ji Baichuan...

If he is willing to accept his arrangement, he can go to the Security Department to serve as a deputy section chief. If he is unwilling, he will respect his choice to apply for a teaching position at a higher education institution.

"Let's go to Dengxian Tower."

Yaoguang ordered.

The driver quickly changed lanes and stopped outside Dengxian Tower soon.

After entering the Ascension Tower, Yaoguang went straight to the high-level elixir area.

With hundreds of spirit stones in hand, I no longer have to scrape together money to buy pills.

Of course, he only bought three bottles of Tianren Dan.

As for the more advanced Immortal Golden Body Pill and Five Qis Returning to Origin Pill...

Unless one day he has assets worth tens of thousands.

Otherwise, with the current wealth, it would be extremely cost-effective to take this kind of top-notch elixir for cultivation.

"In the Cangwu World, the industries of weapon refining, alchemy, and formations have developed very quickly. Three hundred years ago, spiritual weapons that could match those of a great cultivator who had established their foundation were already everywhere. Any high-level cultivator who had some assets could own one, and even high-level cultivators used top-grade spiritual weapons. In the field of great cultivators who had established their foundation... ordinary people used top-grade spiritual weapons, and the richer ones directly used magic weapons that could match those of a true golden elixir cultivator. This was true for weapon refining, and it was also true for alchemy."

Yaoguang pondered.

As long as he is given enough spirit stones, he can cultivate to the ninth level of body refinement that same day.

Even if he had to go through the ninth level of body refining to reach the great realm of Star Lord, he could cross that realm in three to five days since he had already reached the required level.

If he had enough spirit stones, his merchant experience could continue to improve his martial arts realm...

With the mutual achievement of the two, in a month or two, he will be able to forge a body of a demon god, and his combat power will directly soar to the peak of the star lord.

……

Zixiaoyuan covers an area of ​​more than 800,000 square meters and has no shortage of space.

The first place of residence is naturally grand and luxurious enough.

It is divided into three buildings, one main and two auxiliary, with a courtyard outside, garden, rockery, fountain and everything else you need.

There is even a small airport.

The small airport is a place specifically for flying boats to dock.

This is an upgraded version of the floating car, but the price of each flying boat is often hundreds of spirit stones, and the better ones even cost thousands of spirit stones. Not everyone can afford it.

Moreover, like a flying sword, it is easy to buy but difficult to maintain.

The operating cost of a flying boat is much higher than that of a flying sword.

In the entire Jiuxiao Domain, the number of people who own flying boats does not exceed thirty.

……

Practice room on the first floor.

Yaoguang had just refined a Tianren Pill and was feeling the medicinal power...

"If you don't focus on maximizing the medicinal power, taking one Tianren Pill a day... you can reach the eighth level of body refinement in more than two months, but this process will probably consume about three hundred spirit stones."

Three hundred spirit stones.

I can barely afford it.

"Time itself represents life. Even if a cultivator in this world breaks through to the great cultivator stage, his life span is only two to three hundred years. If they frequently engage in life-and-death battles and damage their vitality, there are great cultivators who die at over a hundred years old. Zong Lian is the best example. He is now over a hundred and twenty years old and is a foundation-building cultivator who grew up through fighting. His life span... is at most sixty years..."

Yaoguang did some calculations.

If he slowly spends three to five years to become a Star Lord, after becoming a Star Lord, he will only have less than two hundred years to live. How will he live the life he wants by then?

"Ten thousand years is too long. We must seize the day. If we can ensure our own safety and the safety of the environment as soon as possible, we can retire earlier and enjoy life."

Yaoguang glanced towards the brightly lit Zixiao Courtyard.

As long as Zixiaoyuan can get enough orders for the new "Zixiao" swords it produces, there will be no need to worry about running out of spirit stones.

And to ensure that everyone in Zixiaoyuan is on the same page with him...

"I haven't reached the level of Star Master in body refining, nor the high level of spirit refining, nor the master in weapon refining... The weight is a little short, which will affect the prestige and morale of the weapon refiners in Zixiao Academy..."

After thinking it over for a while, Yaoguang had made a decision.

"Then let's break through a realm. Anyway, it will be soon to reach the eighth level of physical training."

Yaoguang pondered.

With this thought in mind, he began to mobilize the Qi and blood in his body, nourish his mind, and meticulously completed the transformation of refining Qi into spirit without wasting any Qi and blood.

Less than half an hour...

His spiritual power directly climbed to a new level.

"Alright, I've made a breakthrough, to the seventh level of Spirit Refining."

Yaoguang's eyes were calm, without causing any ripples. When one's realm had reached the standard, it was much easier to break through by refining the spirit than by refining the body.

After all, spiritual cultivation tends to be idealistic. For many things, once you understand them thoroughly, you will understand them thoroughly, and the feedback will be immediate.

And body training...

Too materialistic.

It's not enough to just understand it thoroughly, you also need to verify it bit by bit in practice.

"If you have reached the seventh level of Spirit Refining..."

Yaoguang thought of the abnormality when he broke through from the [Shinto] realm to the Yuanshen realm...

The next moment, the divine thoughts in the spiritual world began to condense, gradually forming a transparent shadow.

During this process, the shadow rippled slightly and seemed to be dissipating.

But with Yaoguang's precise control, the phantom finally completed its transformation and stabilized.

The phantom's facial features were blurry and unclear, but one could only vaguely determine that it was somewhat similar to him, completely connected to his spirit, and maintained by his spirit.

Of course, the main consumption still comes from divine thoughts.

And this consumption is not small for him.

With the realm he just broke through...

It can only last for a few minutes.

But cultivating divine consciousness and maintaining the original spirit are two completely different feelings.

Take exploration perception as an example.

The former's exploration of the perceived target is equivalent to watching through television...

After all, there is a screen between us.

but now……

It is even equivalent to arriving in person at the place you want to perceive and observe.

That clarity, that touch other than sight, is so close at hand.

"Moreover, compared to scattered divine thoughts, the soul is completely coordinated into a whole, and its ability to resist risks and attacks is greatly improved. It's like the same number of rabble and trained elite soldiers. The effects they can play are completely on the same level."

Yaoguang quietly comprehended this mystery.

However, this realization comes at a price.

The consumption of spiritual power increases dramatically.

After a few minutes, Yaoguang's condensed spirit dissipated and turned into divine consciousness again, returning to the spiritual world, and being nurtured by the circulation of qi and blood.

“Energy consumption.”

Yaoguang said.

This is a problem faced by every cultivation system in the world today.

Physical cultivation and spirit cultivation are still better, but sword cultivation and magic cultivation are the real energy consumers.

Especially for magic practitioners, the magic in today's world is constantly improving. The spells released by foundation-building level magic practitioners are all golden elixir level spells from hundreds of years ago, and some are even improved versions.

It is possible that after one spell is cast, the true energy in the body is directly depleted and has to be replenished quickly.

The same is true for sword cultivators.

Even though they patrol the sky at supersonic speeds, once they make a move, their energy consumption increases several times, dozens of times, or even dozens of times.

After a trip to the East China Sea, more than a dozen spirit stones were gone.

Why is Jiuding Sect only a sect that practices physical cultivation?
The low entry threshold for physical cultivators is one reason, and another reason is that the Ministry of Energy is inefficient and has a low spirit stone production capacity, so it cannot afford to support so many sword cultivators.

……

The next morning.

Yaoguang came to his work area and operated the workbench.

Soon, all major systems of the "Zixiao" flying sword were separated by the projection equipment on the workbench, enlarged and projected into the void.

Yaoguang checked them one by one.

Finally came to a somewhat speechless conclusion.

"too poor."

Purple Sky Sword...

It's okay as a daily flying sword, but if it's used as a natal flying sword, its performance is too poor in all aspects.

"How can there be more than 80 orders for this kind of flying sword in a year?"

He was a little puzzled.

He used his primary seat authority to check the order information and soon understood.

"The buyers are all middle-level practitioners with money. There are almost no high-level practitioners."

Even though the most scarce talents in the Jiuding Sect are the divine cultivators, how can the divine cultivators hiding behind the scenes and providing assistance compare to the sword cultivators who are in charge of attacking tough situations?
Just like many people like to play damage-dealing games, sword cultivation is everyone’s first choice.

What's more, it is the most handsome for a sword cultivator to ride the Qingming sword and travel through the nine heavens.

In this situation, many intermediate practitioners want to practice their natal flying sword as soon as possible so that they can enjoy the pleasure of flying with a sword.

Their cultivation level is not enough to support spiritual weapon-level flying swords, so top-grade magic weapons are their best choice.

Although the Zixiao Sword has poor performance, it is very cool.

Its appearance and special effects are definitely one of the best-looking among all the natal flying swords. This can be seen from the fact that the beautiful flying sword Zixiao Sword sells so well.

The handsome flying sword just caters to the rich second generation in the middle stage of Qi Refining who likes to show off...

Ultimately, it’s no surprise that the Zixiao Sword, with such poor performance, received more than eighty orders a year.

"I've learned a lot."

Yaoguang sighed.

After some thought...

He had no intention of dismantling the Meiguang Feijian production department.

But the quality...

"Who would practice a top-grade magic weapon as their natal flying sword? Only those second-generations who like to show off. If they pay a little attention to practicality, they will directly choose a spiritual weapon."

Yaoguang looked at the flying sword for a long time before making a decision.

"Enter the spiritual weapon market."

The Jiuding Sect has begun to pay attention to the training of sword cultivators. The number of high-level sword cultivators is quite large. If he can refine a cost-effective spiritual weapon flying sword, he will be able to seize this wave of opportunities and quickly gain momentum.
