The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 175: Zhenhai
The words "bankruptcy" were uttered.

This shows the Jiuding Sect's determination to support Yaoguang.

Three generations of flying swords.

This is equivalent to completing the transformation of the Jiuding Sect from nothing to something.

Although the Jiuding Sect was able to refine precious weapons in the past, they were basically first-generation flying swords. Second-generation flying swords relied entirely on the piling up of materials with all possible effort.

The third generation flying sword can only be bought from the outside world, and each sword costs hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Compared with its cost of twenty or thirty thousand, the premium is more than a little bit.
but……

"There's no need to spend all your money. The power of low-grade flying swords is still far inferior to that of high-grade flying swords. If you really want to completely replace them, keep half of the cost-effective low-grade flying swords for daily patrols. The other sword cultivators should be equipped with high-grade flying swords."

Yaoguang Road.

"Superior-grade flying sword!?"

The implied meaning in these words made Xu Qiexing and Dong Liushui's eyes fill with uncontrollable surprise at the same time.

"You... you have an idea?"

"Well, I'm only working on the Zixiao series of flying swords. I can't say anything about the performance of other flying swords, but the top model of Zixiao 13 - Zixiao 15, does have some clues."

Yaoguang said, adding: "Of course, it will take time. By refining and improving Zixiao 13, we will continue to improve related technologies, and learn while refining until we can completely design a brand new Zixiao 13 flying sword."

He smiled slightly: "When Zixiao 15 is refined, that will be the time for us to equip it with all our strength."

"Purple Sky 15!"

Xu Qiexing and Dong Liushui both gasped.

Yaoguang even thought of the number for the flying sword, which shows how confident he is in designing a top-grade flying sword like Zixiao 15.

If he could really design an advanced, top-grade flying sword...

Even if it only reaches the second generation level, it is enough to bring about a qualitative improvement in the strength of the entire Jiuding Sect.

"Before that, in order to avoid unnecessary waste, I would like to ask a presumptuous question - how many elite foundation-building sword cultivators, that is, third-order foundation-building late-stage sword cultivators, are there in the sect?"

Yaoguang looked at Xu Qiexing.

The number of great monks in a sect has always been top secret. Not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking officials like Zhao Siliang and You Qianshan may not be able to give an accurate number.

But Xu Qiexing was born in the Zong clan...

The deputy sect leader also serves as the master of the Equipment Refining Hall, so he is naturally aware of this data.

Yaoguang was asking about the number of elite foundation-building sword cultivators, not all great cultivators, so he didn’t touch upon the most core data. At that moment, he responded through telepathic transmission: “The sect has a total of 300 elite foundation-building sword cultivators.”

"Three hundred people..."

This number is similar to what Yaoguang expected.

Even a little more.

After all, the Jiuding Sect only has eight or nine hundred great sword cultivators on the surface, which is equivalent to the third-level great sword cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, which is more than one-third.

But before Yaoguang could say anything, Xu Qiexing changed the subject: "But... you should know that our Jiuding Sect allows local sects to retain their own heritage. The Bailian Sect where you lived before is an example. There are still some civilian foundation-building sword cultivators like the Sect Master. If you count them, there are 500 elite foundation-building sword cultivators."

"five hundred!?"

this number……

There are no fewer elite foundation-building sword cultivators than the Great Sun Sword Sect.

"In addition... don't we have quite a few affiliated worlds in the Jiuding Sect? The quality of some of these affiliated worlds is actually not bad. Although the spiritual power nodes cannot be compared with those in the main sect, some worlds still have three or five of them. These spiritual power nodes can support some foundation-building cultivators. Including the affiliated worlds that have not yet returned to the main sect... there are about seven hundred of them."

Xu Qiexing told the truth.

"???"

Yaoguang looked at Xu Qiexing in surprise.

Xu Qiexing was also somewhat helpless: "Our Jiuding Sect is one of the top ten immortal sects. The six remaining immortal sects in the world today do not want another new immortal sect to share the benefits with them... In order not to cause restrictions and blockades from these top sects too early... We have to hide a trick."

Hide it.

Is this called hiding a trick?

He originally thought that it would be a great achievement for the Jiuding Sect to hide 10% to 20% of its power.

Now, 130% is hidden directly!

"So... what you said before about losing everything..."

"It's true. Our spiritual stone output is not high. Even if we take into account some hidden output values ​​and affiliated worlds caused by calculation errors, it will not exceed 8000 million."

Xu Qiexing walked on horseback.

5000 million and 8000 million...

The numbers turned out not to be as exaggerated as one might imagine.

but……

The sword cultivators have hidden their output, the spirit stones have been hidden, so the magic cultivators, body cultivators, and spiritual cultivators should also hide a little, right?

If we hide a little more in other industries, all together...

Jiuding Sect, you are really good at hiding your shortcomings.

"Okay, I got it."

Yaoguang said.

He had always been puzzled before. After all, the Jiuding Sect was a sect with a Golden Core as the leader. The strength it displayed was not only comparable to the six major immortal sects, but even the strength of major sects like the Dayi Sword Sect and the Shouyang Sect was far superior to them. Even forces like the Xuanming Sect and the Dayue Dynasty dared to come to the East China Sea Islands to take advantage of them.

Now it seems……

Their strategy is also shown above.

After thinking for a while, he said, "First, give me an order for 300 low-grade flying swords. As for the price, how about 30,000 per sword?"

As he spoke, he thought of something and continued, "According to the design plan, you can see that I only have a profit margin of three to four thousand spirit stones for each flying sword. After sharing these profits, my share is only one or two thousand. I will use these profits to purchase cultivation resources... And, as long as the price you offer is not too high, I can buy them all from Jiuding Sect."

"no problem!"

Before Xu Qiexing could say anything, Liang Qiu, the head of the Logistics Hall who was in charge of all the supplies of the sect, had already responded.

"Just follow what Master Yaoguang said."

Yaoguang will use the spirit stones to buy cultivation resources in Jiuding Sect, which is equivalent to all the spirit stones still circulating in Jiuding Sect. Just one round like this can make the days of many departments comfortable.

Moreover, Yaoguang purchasing cultivation resources is equivalent to investing in himself.

Now he is a member of the Jiuding Sect. His strength has increased. Doesn’t that mean the strength of the Jiuding Sect has also increased?
This is a virtuous cycle.

Xu Qiexing also thought of this.

He thought even more.

Although Yaoguang can only refine low-grade treasures now, and still needs time and energy to research high-grade treasures, once his cultivation level improves, won’t this time be greatly shortened?

Once he could refine a top-grade treasure and equip many elite foundation-building sword cultivators with it...

Not to mention avenging the shame of the Wuji Star Palace besieging the city, at least the East China Sea Islands and the Shiwanda Mountains must be recovered and the sovereignty of the Jiuding Sect restored.

"Since Master Yaoguang has made his choice, Grandmaster Dongliushui will stay here from now on. You two weapon-refining grandmasters should have a good exchange. Who knows, one day you may be able to develop a stronger flying sword other than the Zixiao 15 model."

Xu Qiexing said with a smile.

The Zixiao series of flying swords focus on speed and low energy consumption, but what flying swords really need is speed and attack power.

Especially the top-grade flying sword.

They are using top-grade flying swords, and it is obviously a fierce fight between life and death. Why would they still consider low spiritual consumption at this time?

"Thank you, Grandmaster Dong Liushui."

Yaoguang nodded to the master.

With the addition of his team, Zixiaoyuan's equipment refining efficiency will reach a new level.

“Learn from each other and make progress together.”

Dong Liushui said with emotion: "Of course, I can't keep up with Master Yaoguang's progress. Judging from Master Yaoguang's design of the Zixiao 13 flying sword, Master Yaoguang has already started to study the formation pattern, right?"

"Yes."

Yaoguang nodded: "Without the knowledge of formation patterns, the third generation flying sword is the limit. It will never be possible to catch up with Wuji Xinggong and refine the fourth generation flying sword."

Array pattern is actually a research direction for the localization and miniaturization of array.

It is not as complicated as the formation, but because it emphasizes miniaturization and the compatibility of magic weapons, it has higher requirements for divine consciousness.

The water flowing eastward agrees with this.

"After all, our Jiuding Sect has experienced destruction once, and it has only been more than eighty years since its rebirth. I believe that if we are given another eighty years, we will definitely be able to catch up to the forefront of the world and restore the glory of the ten great immortal sects in the past."

Xu Qiexing said with a smile.

He only dared to say that he had pursued the glory of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

As for catching up with Wuji Xinggong...

Now I don’t even dare to think about it.

Even if the hidden strength of the Jiuding Sect is taken into account, it is probably still half a level weaker than the Dayi Sword Sect, not to mention the strongest sect in the world who can easily send out a dozen patrol warships to blockade their Wuji Star Palace.

Yaoguang did not continue the conversation.

Who knows what will happen in the future?

He said directly: "Since the sect has so many people, and Jiuxiao Territory also has the East China Sea to defend, please assign some people to me. I plan to test a new combat system."

"Assign a team of personnel?"

Xu Qiexing looked at Yaoguang and said, "If you choose the third suggestion and engage in equipment refining research, we do plan to build a new combat department here. It's fine for you to take over, but... won't you be too busy? Don't let these things delay your own practice, that would be putting the cart before the horse."

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Yaoguang Road.

"In that case, then as you said, what are your requirements for manpower?"

Xu Qiexing asked.

"I need seventy-two foundation-building sword cultivators, thirty-six magic cultivators, and twelve divine cultivators, a total of one hundred and twenty great cultivators."

Yaoguang directly stated his needs.

In the future he will definitely refine a sect-protecting artifact like the Sky Patrol Battleship.

A patrolling warship is usually equipped with thirty-six foundation-building sword cultivators, twenty-four magic cultivators, and twelve spirit cultivators, and the number is increased or reduced according to their different performance.

However, when Yaoguang refines the patrol warship, he will need at least two or even three generations of technical reserves before he can proceed.

The third generation of sky patrol warships requires much more great monks than the first generation of sky patrol warships.

More than a hundred people would be appropriate.

"One hundred and twenty people are just enough to form a composite reinforced combat unit."

As Xu Qiexing spoke, he asked, "Don't you need physical training?"

"No, the threat to the Nine Heavens Territory is the East China Sea Islands. It is not convenient for physical practitioners to fight in the sea."

Yaoguang Road.

Although physical cultivators can fly with the help of star force fields, their speed is much slower than that of sword cultivators and magic cultivators.

"Okay, within a month, one hundred and twenty great monks of at least the second rank will arrive in Longxiong City."

Xu Qiexing agreed and explained, "This combat academy is mainly responsible for guarding Zixiao Academy, so it is difficult to have all members at level three. I hope you can understand."

"clear."

Yaoguang nodded.

"Have you thought of a code name for this combat unit?"

"Code name..."

Yaoguang thought about it and decided that the next main battlefield for this combat unit would undoubtedly be the East China Sea Islands.

Since the main battlefield is in the East China Sea Islands...

"Just call it 'Zhenhai'."
