The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 152 Talent
"I want to meet him, talk to him, and exchange ideas on refining equipment. I'm afraid these ideas...can be inspiring to me."

Dong Liushui asked for instructions carefully.

"There will be opportunities."

Xu Qiexing said, turning to Zhang Jianlin: "This weapon refining master...his name is Yaoguang, right? Does he have any requirements in life and work?"

Then he immediately added to Zhao Siliang: "His personal safety must be ensured."

"Please rest assured. I have already given the order. A third-level star master is personally leading people to protect his safety."

Zhao Siliang said immediately.

"not enough!"

Dong Liushui immediately said, "I suggest that we follow the protection standards of a weapon refining master and arrange a team consisting of one Yuan Shen realm, one foundation building realm, and two star master realms to protect his safety."

"The standard for a master weapon refiner?"

Xu Qiexing, Zhao Siliang, Xiang Tianheng and others were shocked.

"While verifying the performance of this flying sword, I have a feeling that it is not that Lord Yaoguang is unable to refine a magic weapon-level flying sword, but that he is stuck somewhere. However, this level is not as exaggerated as a bottleneck. As long as he passes this level, he should be able to enter the realm of a weapon refining master immediately."

Dongliushui said seriously.

"Level?"

"Stuck? Where is it stuck?"

"Array?"

A few people were a little confused.

"I don't know either, so... I want to meet him. If we can have a frank conversation, maybe we can figure out what's wrong with him and help him truly have the ability to refine magic weapons."

Dong Liushui shook his head.

"I'll try to arrange it."

Zhao Siliang thought about it for a while and gave an answer.

At this time, Zhang Jianlin was considering and said, "Maybe... I know where he is stuck..."

"Um!?"

Everyone's eyes fell on this great cultivator in the Yuanshen realm.

He did not keep the secret and glanced at Zhao Siliang: "Sect Master, have you forgotten that he is neither a foundation-building nor a primordial spirit?"

As soon as these words came out, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through Zhao Siliang's mind!
"Grand monk! He...he is not even a grand monk!"

Several people understood what he meant instantly.

If you are not a great monk, the world you glimpse is naturally not as real as that of a great monk.

No matter their ability, vision, perception, or reaction, they are inferior to the great monks. Naturally, they are not as fast as the great monks in studying secondary professions such as refining equipment, forming formations, and refining pills.

"That's it! That's it!"

Dong Liushui also suddenly realized and said quickly: "It can't be wrong, nine times out of ten, he is stuck here! If he can become a great cultivator, he will definitely break through this level in a very short time and become a true weapon refining master!"

“Yaoguang should also understand this!”

Zhang Jianlin exclaimed, "I asked Yaoguang before, if the higher-ups really confirmed that he has the potential to become a master of weapon refining, what kind of help would he need? His answer was to give him 100,000 spirit stones! 100,000 spirit stones, what do you think of?"

"One hundred thousand spiritual stones..."

With the reminder from the "great monk" in front of them, everyone thought for a moment and quickly came up with the answer: "Spiritual Transformation Pill?"

“It is the Shenhua Pill that can help people strengthen their spiritual thoughts and refine their Qi into spirits!”

Zhang Jianlin said.

"The Spirit Transformation Pill... only simulates a trace of the magical power of the Dharma, using the form of the Law of Heaven and Earth to contain a large amount of spiritual energy, and then refines the energy to transform the spirit... I'm afraid it's not enough for a ninth-level Spirit Refining cultivator to condense his primordial spirit."

Xu Qiexing was a little confused.

"Yaoguang is different."

Zhang Jianlin said carefully: "Someone in Zixiao Academy said that Master Yaoguang has been able to show a little bit of the mystery of the soul, which shows that he has a deep foundation in refining the soul. In addition, the soul-transforming pill itself is beneficial to condensing the soul... Taking this kind of pill, I'm afraid he can step into the realm of the soul in one go and become a great cultivator of the soul!"

"There is already a hint of the mysterious spirit?"

"That's fine."

"I remember the information showing that Yaoguang seems to be very young, less than 30 years old?"

As everyone was talking, Xu Qiexing laughed at himself and said, "I will never believe that Yaoguang had any bad intentions in joining our Jiuding Sect."

The weight of a secondary professional master is often higher than the ninth level of body refining, qi refining, and spirit refining, and slightly lower than that of a great monk.

And the weight of the Grandmaster...

It is second only to the golden elixir!

Enough to be on par with those cultivators who have built an immortal foundation.

A person who is less than thirty years old, but has been able to cultivate his primordial spirit and has the level of a master in refining weapons, comes to lurk in the Jiuding Sect?
To put it bluntly...

The Jiuding Sect is not worthy.

"Yaoguang is from a subsidiary world. According to the information, when he first came, he did not choose to join our Jiuding Sect right away. Instead, he stayed in a place called Bailianmen in Longxiong City to observe. It can be seen that... while we were observing him, he was also observing us. Therefore... we must not let the real talents down."

Zhao thought about it.

"Based on this third-generation high-grade spiritual sword he took out, it is worth 100,000 spiritual stones!"

Xu Qiexing made a prompt decision and waved his hand generously: "Isn't it just the Divine Transformation Pill? Give it to him! In addition, we will allocate another 30,000 spirit stones as a personal reward for him!"

After saying that, he turned to Xiang Tianheng and said, "You can stop the orders from Zhanlu. All the purchases of high-end spiritual swords should be transferred to Zixiao Academy. I want 3,000 swords first!"

"Cough cough..."

When Xiang Tianheng heard the number "three thousand", he felt a little out of breath.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "No more spirit stones."

The cost is 1,600 yuan, and the purchase price is at least 1,800 yuan. The order for 3,000 flying swords... 5.4 million spirit stones.

The sword cultivation department's annual purchasing quota is only over two million.

With this order, the Sword Training Department won’t be able to think of replacing any of its equipment for the next two years.

"Reduce the order quantity."

Zhao Siliang said, "After all, the consumption of a top-grade spiritual weapon is a bit high."

Be it a spiritual weapon or a treasure weapon, in theory, lower-grade equipment is the most cost-effective, while higher-grade equipment has the most advanced and complete performance.

However, the high-end performance of high-quality equipment cannot be used most of the time, and their energy consumption is several times that of low-quality equipment.

Therefore, based on comprehensive considerations of cost-effectiveness, many sects will equip about 60% of the equipment with low-quality equipment, 20% each of medium-quality and high-quality equipment.

Spiritual stones are something that are needed in cultivation, in daily life, and in all aspects of life. Everyone lacks them, so they must be spent sparingly.

Of course……

When an all-out war breaks out and it's a life-and-death struggle, cost-effectiveness will have to take a backseat to performance.

Moreover, if you have a lot of spirit stones, you don’t have to worry about the energy consumption issue.

"The order quantity cannot be small, otherwise, wouldn't all the energy and effort Yaoguang has put into this flying sword be wasted?"

Walk slowly.

Xiang Tianheng on the side pondered for a moment and said, "The spiritual weapons provided by Yaoguang Master give us hope of quickly defeating Xuanming Sect. So, we will equip the most elite disciples with top-grade spiritual swords. In terms of number... I think one thousand is more appropriate. One thousand people are enough to defeat the elite of Xuanming Sect."

The number of elite high-level sword cultivators in the Xuanming Sect is estimated to be less than one thousand.

Once they are defeated, it is equivalent to a sword cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining being interrupted. The remaining eighth and seventh levels can still defend themselves with the help of formations, but if they dare to go to the front line, they will only die.

By then, if a cultivator of the upper heaven is eliminated, the Xuanming Sect will not be able to catch its breath for the next ten years, and the dispute over Posa Island will naturally be resolved.

"Can you come up with 1.8 million spirit stones?"

Xu Qiexing asked.

"No, so we need the cooperation of the brothers in the procurement departments of magic and physical cultivation."

Xiang Tian Heng Dao.

"It should be. Even if we have to borrow spirit stones from other departments, we can't let our people's hard work in designing it go to waste. What's more, this flying sword is so excellent."

Xu Qiexing settled the matter and said to Xiang Tianheng, "When the time comes, you can go with Sect Master Zhao and the others to meet with Master Yaoguang. On the one hand, you can escort the Divine Transformation Pill, and on the other hand, you can explain our difficulties to him."

"it is good."

Xiang Tianheng responded.

Zhao Siliang and Zhang Jianlin also nodded.

This is the best outcome.

……

Jiuxiao City.

Compared to Zong Yan and Ji Pingtian who are still staying in Longxiong City, the Xie family has gradually moved to Jiuxiao City, the capital of Jiuxiao Domain.

The graduation banquet was also held in a famous restaurant in the capital.

In order to host this graduation banquet successfully, and also to take advantage of this opportunity to break into the upper circles of Jiuxiao City, the Xie family invested a lot of manpower and material resources. It is said that the cost of the banquet alone was no less than one million.

In addition, they contacted the Murong family, who had a good personal relationship with the Xie family, more than a month ago, and even gave them a valuable gift of more than ten spirit stones. For the sake of the Murong family's reputation, the guests they invited were, without exception, people with status and position in Jiuxiao City.

At this time, Xie Yushu, who was the face of the Xie family and had become a high-level practitioner with the help of the Tianren Pill, and the sixth master of the Murong family, Murong Yun, a seventh-level Qi-refining practitioner, were welcoming the distinguished guests.

But while welcoming each guest, both Xie Yushu and Murong Yun would look in one direction from time to time.

At this time, a man who looked to be in his fifties stepped forward and asked, "Deacon Liu, President Fang, and Dean Luo, haven't arrived yet?"

"Third brother."

Murong Yun greeted him, and then said: "These three did not give an accurate answer, so I don't know either."

"Even they didn't come, so it seems that the big shot will not come either."

Murong Yuan, who was called the third brother, said with some regret. At the end, he looked at Xie Yushu again and said, "You Xie family missed a good opportunity. You knew that person was very talented, but why did your attitude change completely after you came here?"

Xie Yushu smiled bitterly and said, "We have the right attitude. We still visit him every now and then...but he is too busy and doesn't have much time to meet us..."

"After all, your attitude was not sincere enough in the first month, and you missed the opportunity in vain."

Murong Yuandao.

"We have been doing what we should do. A few days ago, we even asked someone to deliver a special product, but no one showed up. Now... the gap between us has been completely widened. We are no longer on the same level."

Xie Yushu shook his head.

After hearing this, Murong Yuan didn't say anything else.

Even with the help of the Murong family, the Xie family is now at best a wealthy man.

Relying on the property brought from the affiliated world, he has acquired tens of millions of assets here, and has accumulated dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones - it is hard to say how many spirit stones are left now.

They don't have any skills or abilities, and unless Master Xie Yu makes a name for himself in the future, they will have to live on these assets.

It is not difficult to become a little rich, but the hope of gaining any status or holding any power is slim.

"I'll go in and keep the other guests company."

Murong Yuan said this and turned to leave.

Xie Yushu smiled bitterly and nodded.

At this moment, a floating car that was expensive but not outstanding among the many luxury cars on the scene stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Yaoguang and Zong Yan got out of the car together.
