The next step is mass production.
After all, the war on the mainland is currently raging, and the Body Sect cannot remain unaffected, so it is only a matter of time before they join the war.
A smile appeared on Lu Cheng's lips. The technology of the mental operating system was already mature. The only thing needed was rare metal, and not just any rare metal, but a top-grade material metal that had been naturally tempered and possessed "life".
As for waste?
Not afraid.
The price of metals today is far from what it will be ten thousand years from now, because many people know that metals are precious, but they cannot afford them or unleash their true power.
Therefore, the premium for top-grade metals is still far from being realized.
"Young Sect Master!"
Lang Ya also rushed over upon hearing the news, and greeted them with a smile and a fist salute.
"How's the rare metal I asked you to collect coming along?" Lu Cheng nodded slightly.
"The main source of these rare metals was the national treasuries of the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Douling Empire. These metals included Fire Spirit Crystals and Meteorites, and were obtained through the exchange of Soul Bones and some Soul Tools..."
“In particular, meteorites and water-emulsion crystals each weigh several tons.”
"The former can amplify a Soul Master's strength, while the latter can amplify a Soul Master's mental power. It cost about 70 million gold Soul Coins, along with dozens of ten-thousand-year Soul Bones, to get those items back from those guys."
When Lu Cheng saw that Lang Ya looked somewhat resentful when he mentioned the price for acquiring these metals, clearly feeling it was too high, he smiled.
If you store this thing for ten thousand years, it will be worth dozens of times more.
Nowadays... it's much cheaper.
Moreover, the main buyers of metals that enhance strength and mental attributes are the many powerful members of the Body Sect, who almost all focus on enhancing their own physical strength and mental power.
It doesn't have many elemental attributes, such as fire, ice, or wood, and is extremely rare.
Chapter 249 It's the Body Sect's Turn
“In that case, based on the talents of many Body Sect disciples, we can begin to manufacture battle armor one after another…” A smile that was hard to hide appeared in Lu Cheng’s eyes.
The Body Sect's plan to dominate the continent can begin.
The Body Sect is currently not lacking in young powerhouses, especially the third-generation disciple, Long Aotian, and a group of disciples who recently went to the Sun Moon Empire with Lu Cheng to participate in the competition. After returning to the original continent, they have all broken through to the Soul Saint realm.
This means that the Body Sect can produce more than a dozen titled powerhouses out of thin air.
As for the Du Bu Si and the battle armor of many elders, they are slightly behind, because the forging technology of battle armor is not yet mature and needs further refinement. It is unrealistic to directly forge the Limit Douluo, a four-word battle armor level.
Seemingly aware that Lu Cheng had returned to the sect, Ma Xiaotao rushed into the laboratory, her phoenix eyes filled with joy when she saw someone.
"What's the situation on the mainland now?" Lu Cheng ignored the tall, fiery beauty who was quite unruly and glanced at her before asking.
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes, then casually sat down on the sofa, crossing her long, shapely legs. "Didn't you ask Sister Lexuan? Didn't she tell you?"
"I came in a hurry and forgot to ask," Lu Cheng said calmly.
"The Mingdou Mountains are now nothing short of a meat grinder. The Star Luo Empire has taken soul tools from the Sun Moon Empire's armory, and has also replenished some of its old stockpiles, arming three elite soul master regiments. Apart from one guarding the Star Luo capital, the rest have all been deployed to the battle. It is said that, as of now, more than half of them have been lost..."
"Only half of the troops were lost?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow, wondering if he was underestimating the strength of the Sun Moon Empire. Even without the linked defensive soul tools, they shouldn't be in such a state.
"In addition, the Douling Empire also sent an elite Soul Master Corps, and some elite Soul Masters from the Haotian Sect. Almost half of the forces on the original continent have committed a certain amount of combat power. There are very few like us who sit back and watch the tigers fight."
"Moreover, the major powers have also expressed their opinions, saying that we are standing by and watching someone die, and that we don't even understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'. Even Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire has come to see you several times, but you were not there, and we turned you down every time," Ma Xiaotao said with a shrug.
"Hehe..." Lu Cheng chuckled. It was common knowledge that he did not return to the original continent but instead turned around and entered the Demon Forest again.
Even Shrek Academy knows about it.
Therefore, this group of people are probably waiting for news from the Body Sect, or more accurately, for news from Lu Cheng.
The entire continent is now engulfed in war, and the front lines are in a state of chaos. It's estimated that even the most patient people are almost exhausted and are practically ready to devour themselves.
Lu Cheng smiled.
Now, the Body Sect is being put under the spotlight of public opinion and put to the test. Shrek Academy likely played a part in this, but indeed, aside from helping these people form several elite Soul Master Corps, the Body Sect did nothing else in this battle.
If they can withstand the combined forces of the Sun and Moon, then even if the Body Sect remains on the sidelines, no one will say much.
But now that they can't hold on any longer, it's a mess that the Body Sect is still pretending to be dead.
Of course, given their power, they wouldn't dare openly criticize the Body Sect, but they certainly harbored some resentment in their hearts.
"Where are the disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect?"
Lu Cheng pondered for a moment before asking the question.
"You mean that beautiful woman?" Ma Xiaotao naturally focused her attention on Nan Shuishui, thinking that Lu Cheng saved the entire Dilongmen because of that mother and daughter.
Strangely, the reactions of those around him were unremarkable, and they all acquiesced.
Lu Cheng's eye twitched, and he sighed helplessly.
"Nan Shuishui quickly returned to Dragon City with the members of the Earth Dragon Gate, but she left Nan Qiuqiu behind and asked me to tell you that since she has joined the Body Sect, she is now a disciple of the Body Sect, and you are in charge of making arrangements for her..."
Ma Xiaotao said, fiddling with her fingers listlessly.
"Really left behind?" Lu Cheng remained silent for a long time. That Nan Shuishui was really interesting; she was truly willing to leave the hostage at the Body Sect.
Don't be fooled by the positive reviews the sect has among its own members; the outside world's opinion of the sect is... well, let's just say it's not great.
They were a well-organized and powerful gang of thugs. They weren't exactly infamous, but they were definitely not good people, especially compared to the majestic and illustrious Shrek Academy.
"Wasn't this your idea? I thought you had your eye on that mother and daughter." Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Wasn't that girl a hostage left behind?"
Lu Cheng's face darkened, and he looked at Ma Xiaotao with a dangerous expression.
"Cough cough cough..." The latter's body stiffened instantly, then he sat up straight, his narrow eyes darting around. "I was just saying it offhand."
“Ma Xiaotao, we’re not fucking bandits. I’ll say it again, we’re not the kind of lawless bandits who rob people at will. If you dare to speculate about me again, I’ll beat you to death.” Lu Cheng glared fiercely at Ma Xiaotao with a dark face.
The latter immediately became obedient, as if suppressed by bloodline, and nodded.
Although she is now a level 93 Title Douluo, and with the Divine Fire Phoenix, she is even more capable of fighting against a level 97 Super Douluo, she is still somewhat inexperienced in front of Lu Cheng.
On one side, Langya's eyes are focused on his nose, and his nose on his heart.
Hold it in! Don't be so tight-lipped.
You have to hold it in, otherwise you might burst out laughing and that would be a disaster.
Fortunately, the young sect leader didn't look over there.
"I'll go check on Nan Qiuqiu in a bit." Lu Cheng pressed his finger against the beauty's fair forehead and tapped it. "You better behave yourself."
“She’s with Xiaoya, you can go to the Tang Clan to take a look.” Ma Xiaotao stared innocently at Lu Cheng with her beautiful, watery eyes, and said quite obediently.
"Mm." Lu Cheng nodded.
Lang Ya, standing to the side, clicked his tongue in amazement. Everyone in the Body Sect had experienced Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper; even the sect leader couldn't control her. Yet, in front of this young sect leader, she was obedient and docile, like a lamb.
Of course, there's also Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.
"Is the Mingdou Mountain Range unable to hold out?" Lu Cheng finally asked as he turned around.
"Probably." Ma Xiaotao shrugged.
"Xu Jiujiu just came last month, and his eyes were bloodshot. I feel that if he had come any later, the Sun and Moon Alliance would probably have already breached the city. In any case, the Star Luo Empire's casualties would have been devastating."
"In that case, let's go and provide support," Lu Cheng said calmly.
He circled several points on the map set up inside the room. "Send powerful sect experts to these locations to defend them. First, to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from landing on the coast, and second, to strengthen the defense line of the Mingdou Mountains. Stop those guys for me."
"Let's also show off the strength of my Body Sect."
Shrek Academy also sent out powerful figures: a Super Douluo and two ordinary Title Douluos. For Shrek, which had already suffered heavy losses, this was practically exposing their weaknesses.
Now, it's the turn of the Body Sect.
Chapter 250 The Suppressed Witchcraft Wind; The Final Simulation Begins!
"pat~"
Nan Qiuqiu kicked a small stone listlessly, watching it bounce around and then stop in place. Somewhat bored, she squatted down to the side, propped her chin on her hand, and complained, "It's been months already. Could that guy really have died in Mingdu?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng's face darkened.
I saved her life, and she still curses me? That's truly... intolerable.
"Ouch." Nan Qiuqiu looked behind her in a bit of panic, but when she saw the figure, a hint of joy flashed in her beautiful eyes, followed by some anger: "Why did you hit me?"
"What do you think?" Lu Cheng looked down at the girl. Compared to the stunning beauties like Wang Dong'er and Jiang Nannan, this girl was slightly inferior, but her oval face made her look even cuter.
No wonder it's so popular in the Earth Dragon Gate.
"Your martial soul has evolved?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Lu Cheng's eyes.
"Well, thanks to you," Nan Qiuqiu grumbled, sounding quite annoyed.
"After absorbing that snow lotus petal, my Rouge Dragon has advanced. Its original annihilation power has evolved into a certain degree of destruction, making it even more powerful than before." Nan Qiuqiu spoke with great enthusiasm and a smile when talking about her martial soul.
"..." Lu Cheng nodded. He had noticed this girl on the field. With the Soul Emperor realm, she was able to withstand the attack of the Soul Saint. The advanced martial soul of the Rouge Dragon played a significant role in this.
"It's a pity the bloodline is too mixed." He pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
He considered nurturing him, but whether it would work out depended on the situation. The fact that the Earth Dragon Sect was willing to send him to them as a "hostage" showed that they wanted to befriend the Body Sect, and he didn't mind having another "affiliated" sect.
"Go find Le Xuan later and ask her for a magical herb," Lu Cheng said, glancing at Nan Qiuqiu.
The current inventory is all under Zhang Lexuan's care, and the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye has been moved to the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire. There are still quite a lot of usable immortal herbs in it. Even if it is supplied to most of the talented people of the Body Sect, there will still be a lot left over.
After all, what they're taking is the reserves of an entire Immortal Valley accumulated over ten thousand years.
"A magical herb?" Nan Qiuqiu's pink eyes lit up, and she leaned closer to Lu Cheng with a grin: "Is it some kind of treasure?"
"You'll see when you get there." Lu Cheng smiled and casually ruffled the latter's black bun.
Seeing a handsome face filled with resentment was quite amusing.
She does indeed bear a striking resemblance to her mother.
"What are you looking at? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to me?" Nan Qiuqiu looked at Lu Cheng suspiciously, then snorted and put her hands on her hips, saying arrogantly, "If you like me, you can just say so. There's no need to look at me like an old man."
Lu Cheng's eyes twitched, and several more black lines appeared on his forehead.
