The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 148 Accumulation
Zixiao Courtyard.

"Palace Master Zhao, Elder Zhang, Master Wei, Master Lu."

Yaoguang brought Yunlai to welcome the group of people.

"Haha, Master Yaoguang, we have come all the way here to congratulate you this time."

Zhao He's face was filled with joy. "Since our sword cultivators changed their uniforms last month and officially patrolled the waters of Posuo Island, we have encountered the Xuanming Sect's sword cultivator team sixteen times. In each of these sixteen encounters, we have won a complete victory... at worst, we have escaped unscathed! As long as our Yuan Shen realm masters provide remote support, the Xuanming Sect's people can't even think of escaping. In just one month, the Xuanming Sect has lost as many as forty-five sword cultivators."

"Forty-five people!?"

Yaoguang was a little surprised.

At this time, those who were sent to Posa Island were the most elite high-level swordsmen.

That is, a swordsman who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Those at the eighth level of Qi Refining can patrol non-frontline war zones, while those at the seventh level of Qi Refining can only garrison local areas.

As for those below the seventh level of Qi Refining, they basically will not enter the battle sequence.

Yaoguang didn't know how many sword cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining there were in the Jiuding Sect, but for the Xuanming Sect, which was a small to medium-sized sect, having eighteen hundred people was the limit.

Forty-five people lost in one month...

Doesn't that mean that if the intensity continues at this rate, the most elite group of high-level swordsmen in the Xuanming Sect will be wiped out in two years! ?

"What are our losses?"

Yunlai asked.

"There was only one sword cultivator who practiced the Supreme Induction Sword Technique. He was so shocked and heartbroken during the confrontation with his divine thoughts that he chose to change his job. He should be a professor of practical combat or the head of the sword cultivation academy of a certain imperial academy."

Zhao He said with a smile: "This elite swordsman who has been on the front line and retired after being injured, the sect will definitely not treat him unfairly."

As he said this, he looked at Yun Lai and said, "Speaking of battle records, the team led by Yun Qing is extremely outstanding. A month ago, the team he led was ambushed by six Xuanming Sect sword cultivators. Without the support of Yuanshen Realm Great Monks, he fought against the Yuanshen Realm Great Monks and killed the six Xuanming Sect sword cultivators and escaped unscathed. Each of the four of them was credited with a great merit! It is estimated that it will not be long before his title will be promoted to Guardian of the Battle Hall."

"Protector!?"

Yunlai was surprised and happy.

The guardian is the first one.

Usually only great monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage are qualified to take on this role.

However, the guardian of the War Hall is half a level lower than that of the Jiuding Sect, and some high-level cultivators who have made great contributions can also take up the position.

Once they become great monks in the future, it will be easy for them to remove the prefix and be promoted to the guardian of Jiuding Sect. That kind of weight...

Enough to be on par with the Lord of Longxiong City, Zhang Jianlin, Qin Yi and others.

"We have seen the achievements of the East China Sea Islands. They are now discussing to increase the order volume for Zixiao Twelve."

Zhao He paused when he said this: "However, some elders have pointed out some shortcomings of Zixiao Twelve, that is, the lack of explosiveness."

"break out……"

"For high-level sword cultivators, low-grade spiritual weapons are the most cost-effective choice. However, it is foreseeable that the Xuanming Sect has suffered such a great loss this month, and the subsequent counterattack is bound to become fierce. The situation of our Jiuding Sect's sword cultivators will also face more severe challenges. In this case, our Jiuding Sect's sword cultivators must have the power to explode and fight back when encountering danger."

Zhao He glanced at Yao Guang and said, "I brought Masters Wei Yan and Lu Yuan with me this time because I hope you can see if we can improve Zixiao Twelve again to make it grow explosively... Considering the cost-effectiveness, we can do without this ability, but we can't live without it."

"Middle-grade spiritual weapon, high-grade spiritual weapon..."

Yaoguang glanced at the progress he had made in refining weapons over the past few months and said, "It's not that we can't improve it, but... can the money given by the sect support the purchase of mid-grade or even high-grade spiritual weapons?"

After all, the great monks who have not entered the combat sequence are only equipped with high-quality spiritual weapons on a daily basis.

"What it means is, strike one open blow to prevent a hundred blows from coming."

Zhao He said in a deep voice: "What's more... we have received news that after the dissolution of the Northern Alliance, the Wanshou Sect seems unwilling to continue to fight against the powerful Wuji Xinggong. They are currently actively sending friendly signals. Once the situation in the north eases, a patrol fleet of the Wuji Xinggong will be free. At that time, they are very likely to look for the next target to divide in order to consolidate their position as the largest sect in Cangwu."

After these words were spoken, even Wei Yan and Lu Yuan who followed along had a stern look on their faces.

The Wuji Xing Palace, which defeated the Liusha Sect with a crushing force sixteen years ago, showed its despairing strength in front of all the forces in Cangwu.

Jiuding Sect...

Deep down, no one believed that they had the strength to fight against Wuji Xing Palace.

“In order to prevent Xuanming Sect from seeking support from Wuji Xinggong at that time, we have to flex our muscles again. On the one hand, we should defeat Xuanming Sect as soon as possible, and on the other hand, let Wuji Xinggong realize that helping Xuanming Sect, a useless piece of mud, to deal with Jiuding Sect is not a cost-effective deal.”

Zhao He said.

Yun Lai, Wei Yan, Lu Yuan and others listened and nodded.

Compared to other medium-sized or even large sects, the Jiuding Sect has many advantages that no large sect has.

Golden elixir!

Jiuding Sect has golden elixir!
In this case, if Wuji Xing Palace really wanted to choose prey from some medium or large sects to have a feast, Jiuding Sect would definitely be ranked last.

However, after thinking about this, Wei Yan's expression became somewhat gloomy: "Now, we can only pray that the other party will not take the lead in treating us as prey. We are at the mercy of others... I don't know when our Jiuding Sect can truly restore the glory of the ten great immortal sects and have the power comparable to the Wuji Xing Palace."

"Will do."

Zhang Jianlin said solemnly: "Under the leadership of the Sect Master, we in the Jiuding Sect are doing our best to unite all the forces we can, and there will be such a day."

However, not to mention Lu Yuan, Yun Lai, and Wei Yan, even Zhao He did not respond to this sentence.

Three hundred years ago, the Wuji Star Palace was already one of the ten great immortal sects in the Cangwu World. During the war with the Moon Demon Empire, they hid in the rear and gained a large number of spirit stones, magical powers, secret techniques, and technical talents by providing shelter to fleeing families, and rose rapidly.

Sixteen years ago, the battle in which the core member of the Northern Alliance, the Quicksand Cult, was wiped out with great force, shocked the entire Northern Alliance and forced it to disintegrate.

To this day, even the leader of the Northern Alliance, the Wanshou Sect, is unwilling to continue to fight against the Wuji Xing Palace...

Even if the Jiuding Sect could recover to its glory as the Qi Sect three hundred years ago, it could never compare with the Wuji Xing Palace which is now at its peak.

"We need time."

After a while, Zhao He finally said this: "Therefore, we should maintain stability in the surrounding area as soon as possible, expel the Xuanming Sect, and reclaim the East China Sea Islands... There are fourteen spiritual power nodes in the East China Sea Islands. If we can reclaim them all, the total output of spiritual stones in the sect can be increased by at least 30%! By that time, we will have to think of ways to save energy and make every effort to save energy."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, Zhao He turned his gaze to Yaoguang: "How is it, do you have the confidence to improve Zixiao Twelve?"

"The rapid production of Zixiao Twelve in recent times has given me some ideas for improving it, but..."

Yaoguang glanced at Zhao He and said, "When sects engage in a life-and-death struggle, the great cultivators are the core. In other words, only the foundation-building sword cultivators equipped with treasures have the real ability to change the direction of the battle. No matter how many spirit stones we spend on purchasing mid- and high-grade spirit tools, these flying swords are not very useful in the core battlefield. Only those small sects that cannot refine treasure tools and do not have enough spirit stones to purchase will choose to buy mid- and high-grade spirit tools for their great cultivators. Therefore, I think our real research should be focused on treasure tools."

After these words were spoken, Yun Lai, Wei Yan, Lu Yuan and other weapon-refining masters looked at Yao Guang with strange eyes.

Treasure.

Everyone knows that the treasure is the core.

But... you also have to have the ability.

"Can you refine treasures?"

Zhao He asked.

"No."

Yaoguang Road.

Zhao He was not surprised.

He didn't hold out much hope when he asked that question.

Therefore, he just said: "Purchasing mid-grade and high-grade spiritual weapons does not have much cost-effectiveness, but sometimes, we cannot judge completely based on cost-effectiveness. The life of a high-level sword cultivator is more important than a high-grade spiritual weapon!"

"Sword cultivation is more important than spiritual weapons..."

Yaoguang thought for a while and said, "I'll give it a try and give you an answer within three months."

"Okay, don't be stressed, you still have to oversee the production of Zixiao's Twelve Flying Swords."

Zhao He smiled and said, "Wei Yan, Lu Yuan and their team will assist you."

Yaoguang glanced at the two of them.

The two smiled and said, "From now on, I'll have to trouble Master Yaoguang to take care of us."

"It is an honor for our Zixiao Academy that the two masters are willing to come and help."

Yaoguang also responded with a smile.

The reason why he said three months was because if the strength of these two weapon-refining masters and the team behind them were taken into account, three months later, it would be just enough to complete Zixiao Twelve's production order of 3,000 flying swords.

There are probably only eight or ten such weapon-refining masters in the entire Jiuxiao Realm.

This time, half of Zixiaoyuan was directly captured.

Of course, the premise is that he can stay.

……

In the evening, Yaoguang returned to his residence.

Zong Yan and Kong Xuan were busy moving in batches of refining materials.

Zong Yan became the housekeeper, and Kong Xuan served as the assistant and driver.

As for Ji Pingtian, as the president of the Jishihui, he was ultimately unwilling to be completely dependent on Yaoguang, and planned to venture out into the outside world.

Yaoguang did not force it.

"Holy Lord, the materials you requested have arrived."

Kong Xuan said.

"Ah."

Yaoguang responded and asked, "Is everything alright?"

Zong Yan, who was standing by, hesitated for a moment and said, "Xie Yushu sent me an invitation to invite you to attend the sect entrance banquet in a month. In the Jiuding Sect disciple assessment half a month ago, two people from the Xie family entered the Jiuding Sect, one is the steward Xie Yier, and the other is the formal disciple Xie Yushi."

"Master Xie Yu? A formal disciple?"

Yaoguang was a little surprised.

"This is the genius that the Xie family has been hiding to inherit the family. It is said that she is only 81 years old, but she has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. After coming here for more than a year, she has even entered the sixth level of Qi Refining. Her talent is higher than that of Jiang Xuntian from Chixing. Moreover, in this assessment, her aptitude score is points. In ancient terms, this is the aptitude of a top-grade spiritual root, so she was specially recruited as a formal disciple."

Zong Yan said.

Yaoguang listened and nodded.

He didn't find it strange that the Xie family had more talented disciples hiding in the dark.

"Put the invitation aside for now. I'll come over when I have time."

Yaoguang Road.

"Yes."

Zong Yan responded.

At that moment, Yaoguang went upstairs and came to his own practice room.

He gradually felt his own state...

"Martial arts... Ninth level."

Divine thoughts flowed in his mind.

"The Shinto path is also the ninth level."

But he was not in a hurry to break through to the Star Lord and Yuanshen realms.

He couldn't solve the bug that prevented merchants from getting loans, but he could find a bug in terms of strength.

Once he breaks through, it can be predicted that if he continues to focus on refining equipment to earn spirit stones, the "human cost" he needs to pay will definitely increase significantly.

The original income from breaking through the "Star Lord" realm and advancing to the "Star God" realm was hundreds of thousands or millions of spirit stones, but if things go well, it may increase to millions or tens of millions.

Under the current relatively stable situation...

Not in a hurry.

He then turned his gaze to the [Weapon Refining] branch.

This branch has now surpassed [Martial Arts] and [Shinto] to become the thickest one.

Yaoguang estimated the progress...

It’s about 93%.

With this kind of progress, let alone improving Zixiao Twelve into a top-grade spiritual weapon, even improving it to a level comparable to that of a treasure weapon would be no problem.

"The reason why I can make money safely now is thanks to the safe environment and business environment provided by Jiuding Sect. If I went to other major sects... With my background from a small world nearby, I would be labeled as a spy of the Moon Demon Empire and forced to refine weapons day and night..."

After thinking for a while, Yaoguang made the allocation: "First, take the order for the improved high-grade spiritual weapon. Then, improve [Weapon Refining] to a whole new level, so that you can refine the treasures that represent the highest level in the world. Then, concentrate on improving the [Martial Arts] realm."

In any case, you must have enough strength to ensure your own safety.
