Chapter 306 Beacon Tower

With five action points, I feel like I'm suddenly rich.

So Zhang Yang didn't care about the threat of the world's will. There are still ten years left.

"I'm confused about one thing. Are you diluting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yang asked.

"It's not just me. Diluting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is no secret. The Earth Spirit Hub in your Tianjian Sect is actually also a spiritual energy diluting device. Otherwise, why do you think that one thousand immortal stones can absorb 35,000 units of spiritual energy of heaven and earth? Perhaps you don't know that in this real world, the depreciation rate of spiritual energy of heaven and earth is much faster than the cultivation speed of most immortal cultivators."

"So this also means that many people don't have the opportunity to enter a sect of immortal cultivation, or even if they are lucky enough to enter, their achievements are limited, because more concentrated spiritual energy is reserved for the most core few people, who want to transcend."

There was a hint of sarcasm in what he said, and Zhang Yang didn't know whether the will of the world was indirectly mocking him or what.

"Where did the extra spiritual energy go?"

"Some of them were taken away by the immortals who survived the heavenly tribulation. I didn't realize the seriousness of this matter before, so I later increased the power of the heavenly tribulation by ten times. Well, it is now a hundred times. Basically, no one can successfully survive the heavenly tribulation, including you!"

"I have stored some of it. After all, I have to ensure the operation of the entire real world. I cannot let my family be drained of its wealth."

"Of the remaining part, one fifth is used to circulate between heaven and earth, another fifth is responsible for the operation of the underworld, and another fifth is used to maintain the reproduction of the human race. Good weather and good harvests all require spiritual energy."

"Another fifth is reserved by those ancient immortal cultivation sects, and the last fifth is owned by you, the backend modifier. In other words, your five action points are paid out of your own pocket."

"Of course you don't need to be angry. After all, I provided you with cover, and I was the first to seriously injure the original owner of the background modifier, which is why you have such pig-shit luck."

Zhang Yang was speechless. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Can I use the monsters I killed to get some benefits from you?"

"No, you underestimate me too much. Even if you kill a demon king, it is nothing to me. It's nothing compared to a grain of sand in the desert. The reason why I am patiently communicating with you is because you have been bound to this background modifier, not because you are qualified to talk to me on an equal footing."

"Okay, then could you please tell me the specific situation of the current dilution of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"Simple. The diluted spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be expressed in terms of mortal-level spiritual energy, extraordinary-level spiritual energy, foundation-building spiritual energy, golden elixir-level spiritual energy, and Nascent Soul-level spiritual energy. The unit of spiritual energy of heaven and earth that you currently obtain every day is of the Nascent Soul-level, which can be diluted into 100 units of golden elixir-level spiritual energy. One unit of golden elixir-level spiritual energy can be diluted into 100 units of foundation-building spiritual energy. One unit of foundation-building spiritual energy can be diluted into 100 units of extraordinary-level spiritual energy. The last unit of extraordinary-level spiritual energy can be diluted into 10,000 units of mortal-level spiritual energy."

"According to this, you will know what choice you should make. That's it. I hope you can remember the ten years."

Zhang Yang was stunned, then smiled bitterly. It seemed that inflation was something that could not be avoided anywhere. If he had known this, he would have had the courage to make some more changes.

However, there was no point in saying more at this time, so Zhang Yang used five action points to modify a Jindan-level spiritual vein, which means that it could produce 100 units of spiritual energy from heaven and earth every day. By practicing with this kind of spiritual energy, there is a great chance of breaking through the Jindan stage.

As for the unit of Nascent Soul-level spiritual energy of heaven and earth that appears around Zhang Yang every day, he can no longer waste it as he did before.

This is to be kept for one's own cultivation, or can be used as a reward when a disciple makes a great contribution.

And from this perspective, although old guys like Wu Jun, Zhao Baiyi, Jiang Rong, etc. are very powerful, the biggest contributing factor is the Jindan-level spiritual energy that Zhang Yang gave them.

Without this kind of spiritual energy, how could they have made such great progress in just one year? "Master, the disciples patrolling the mountain have come to report that a celestial master who claims to be an old friend of the master wants to see him. His name is Qian Muyun."

When Zhang Yang was thinking, he suddenly heard this report. He was so happy that he led all his disciples out of the mountain gate to greet him in person.

Because this guy is very capable and knows a lot of secrets. Who would have thought that this guy would come here not long after they exchanged information.

As soon as he walked out of the mountain gate, Zhang Yang was stunned. There was no Qian Muyun, but five men of different heights and weights opposite him.

An old man with gray beard, about seventy or eighty years old, very thin, seemed to be the leader. At this moment, he was sitting in a sedan chair carried by two paper men, looking very majestic.

A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, as fat as an elephant.

A guy in his thirties, as tall as a giraffe.

A young man in his twenties, as thin as a bean sprout.

A little kid of five or six years old with pigtails.

What a strange combination.

"Are you Zhang Jiao?"

The elephant spoke first, his voice was like thunder, and his stomach also rumbled like thunder.

"Yes, it's me. May I ask who you are?" Zhang Yang didn't underestimate these five people, because he saw two-color gourds on these five people, so he could almost immediately determine that they were Taoist priests of fire.

"Your friend Qian Muyun introduced us here. He said that your place can prolong life and give us a chance to be resurrected, so my master brought us here. In addition, our monthly salary is 300 immortal stones, 300 kilograms of ordinary iron, 300 kilograms of ordinary copper, and enough food. This is all agreed upon. Come on, we are hungry."

"Well, no problem, no problem! Wu Jun, prepare food for this friend immediately. However, may I ask your names?" Zhang Yang looked at the old man this time.

"Master Zhang, don't worry. We are five wandering Taoist fire workers. I won't hide it from you. We offended someone before, so we ran to this desolate northern region. If we trust your friend, we can naturally trust you. If you think there is a problem, we will turn around and leave."

The old man said weakly.

"Of course there is no problem. Next year, five resurrection spots will be given to you. I just don't know--"

"Is Master Zhang testing us? Feilong, Zhugan, go show Master Zhang your skills."

The old man gave the orders weakly, and the fat man and the tall man, who were as hungry as ghosts before, immediately took out two gourds, one yellow and one green, and poured out all kinds of strange and weird items in a mess, as high as a hill.

The two of them took these items and assembled a strange altar-like object in front of Zhang Yang in a short while.

Zhang Yang didn't recognize him, but Li Hanqiu's expression changed drastically.

"Beacon tower! This is a beacon tower!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What is a beacon tower?" Zhang Yang asked. He could roughly tell that this was a peculiar magical tool, but he had no idea what it was used for.

"The beacon tower is not the beacon tower of the mortal world. Its main function is to provide rapid support and delivery. Its characteristic is to save mana and time. For example, if we build two beacon towers within a hundred miles, it will only take a short time for them to communicate with each other."

"In short, this thing is a bit like a teleportation array, but it's not. The teleportation array is unique to Jindan Dao cultivators, and we sword cultivators can't use it. So we use a beacon tower. This beacon tower is not as complicated as a teleportation array, and it doesn't burn ordinary flames, but sword energy, similar to the sword energy you stored in the Swordman Valley."

"With the assistance of this sword energy, coupled with the sword cultivator's own sword control skills, it is possible to travel a hundred miles in a moment. And the cost is almost negligible, unlike the Jindan Dao's teleportation array, which costs hundreds of immortal stones to teleport just one person."

"However, the disadvantage of this beacon tower is that it cannot be used over long distances. The maximum distance cannot exceed three hundred miles. Therefore, it is only suitable for deployment around the sect to form a fast sword-controlling network."

"But even so, it is still very impressive. There are only 36 beacon towers around the Dameng Sword Sect."

After Li Hanqiu's introduction, Zhang Yang finally understood the importance of these five pyrotechnicians in front of him, who could actually build a beacon tower.

Qian Muyun is really amazing. He knows what his Tianjian Sect lacks most at the moment.

But before Zhang Yang could say anything, the old man spoke again. "What I just said was the basic salary. If you want to build beacon towers and swords, it will be calculated separately, and the materials must be provided by Master Zhang himself."

"no problem."

Zhang Yang agreed immediately. After all, the other party was a pyrotechnician, not a businessman, and he made his living by his skills.

"I just don't know if you can create a Xuan-level sword?" Zhang Yang asked again.

His Tianjian Sect is currently very prosperous, but there is one awkward point: they cannot wield swords. It's not that they don't know how to wield swords, but that they lack specialized sword weapons.

Because the sword that can be used for flying must be special, many people think that any sword can be used to fly in the air, which is actually a misunderstanding.

How can a sword that can be used in combat carry a person?

Unless one cultivates to the seventh level of meridian perfection, that is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage.

The swords used in battle need to be further divided into four categories: demon-slaying swords, monster-slaying swords, ghost-slaying swords, and human-destroying swords. Perhaps only immortal swords can accommodate all of them.

Different combat swords need to be subdivided into different types such as armor-breaking, armor-removing, ice, flame, gale, lightning, etc. according to the situation.

For example, a demon-slaying sword with the armor-piercing magic attached can easily break through three times the speed of sound, or even reach up to nine times the speed of sound when the sword technique is released.

How can it carry people at such a fast speed and such a high level of sensitivity?

Not to mention that many of the Taoist magic attached to swords do not distinguish between friend and foe and will take effect automatically when touched.

If you stand on an ice sword, you will probably be frozen into a sand sculpture.

However, Zhang Yang would not forge a sword that required a higher level of technical skills.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the sword-flying technique is one of the three major skills of sword practitioners.

"Do you have Xuanjin? No, no deal!"
