Chapter 424: Leaving the Great Spectrum and Stealing My Credit
Speaking of the Shenxiao mining ship, both Old Han and Xie Qingxue were speechless.
The spiritual material transformation plant on Tiangong Island made them completely understand the essence of the Nine Mountains Realm.
"According to the plan, the current spiritual material supply will first meet the needs of Jindan disciples..." Senior Sister Zhang did not even need to flip through the account book to report to Zheng Fa, "The second is to supply the construction of Tiangong Island and the manufacture of the Shenxiao Flying Boat."
"Although there is still a gap now, it will be alleviated with the commissioning of the Shenxiao mining ship."
Zheng Fa listened, nodded slowly, and asked again: "What about the cost?"
"The Shenxiao mining ship allows us to collect spiritual materials at a much lower cost than the outside world."
"But the transformation and synthesis of spiritual materials requires spiritual energy and cultivators. Compared with natural spiritual materials, we only have some advantages in certain high-grade spiritual materials. Overall, the cost is still slightly higher."
Zheng Fa could hear the helplessness in Senior Sister Zhang's tone.
He is not as optimistic as Old Han. Hao Rishan's methods actually have a great impact on Jiushan Sect.
In fact, at the beginning, in the first fifty-year plan, the idea of the supply source of Jiushan Sect's spiritual materials was still mainly natural spiritual materials, and the technology of spiritual material conversion was only intended to be used in the manufacture of precious spiritual materials.
The reason is simple: cost.
There are some spiritual materials that exist in large quantities in the Xuanwei Realm, and their prices are actually not high. It is not very cost-effective to transform and synthesize them through spiritual material transformation.
But there was no other way at this time.
Because of the blockade of Hao Ri Mountain, Zheng Fa and his team quickly adjusted their plan, striving to not affect the development of Jiushan Sect while restricting trade.
Seeing the two frowning, Han Lao found it hard to understand and asked, "Regardless of the cost, Hao Ri Mountain spent such a huge price to deal with you, and you can still guarantee the supply of spiritual materials... Their plan has become a joke..."
"I think they are the ones who should be frowning."
After hearing what Mr. Han said, Zheng Fa looked up and saw that Xie Qingxue also had a puzzled look on her face.
He smiled and said, “But Mr. Han, being able to barely supply spiritual materials is not enough for our Jiushan Sect.”
According to the "First Fifty-Year Plan", if the Jiushan Sect wants to complete initial industrialization, the consumption of spiritual materials will definitely not be comparable to that of ordinary sects.
The establishment of an industrial system itself requires extremely high cost investment.
An educated population, cheap raw materials, improved technology, manufacturing plants and machinery, each of which requires large-scale, long-term investment.
That's why Zheng Fa wanted to integrate the Baixian League and control its resources.
To put it bluntly, small sects like the Hundred Immortals Alliance were the cost of the industrialization of the Nine Mountains Realm - he had even anticipated the potential for opposition from monks in the alliance.
If the Hundred Immortals Alliance did not want to become powerful in a short period of time, he would not want to be so radical.
To be honest, the influence of the Chongxuan Sect on their plans is much greater than what Old Han saw.
Old Han was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
It was not until he returned to the guest house that he said to Xie Qingxue: "Zheng Fa...his ambition is much greater than we imagined."
"Um?"
Xie Qingxue looked at the old man. She had a deep understanding of the Canyang Sword Immortal. She knew that although this man had a foul mouth, he had heard too many secrets and was quite good at judging people.
I don't know why I suddenly made such a sigh.
"To be fair, if I had thwarted Hao Rishan's tactics invisibly... I wouldn't be as calm as Zheng Fa."
"But not only is he not satisfied, he feels it is not enough!"
"No, it's not that it's not enough, it's that he doesn't care about Haori Mountain... What he cares about is whether the development of Jiushan Sect is restricted now."
Old Han whispered.
Xie Qingxue nodded slowly, obviously understanding what he meant - this showed that Zheng Fa was extremely confident in the future of Jiushan Sect, and believed that as long as Jiushan Sect was given time to develop, it would not be afraid of Haori Mountain.
"Do you know what I heard the disciples on Tiangong Island say?"
"say what?"
"They are saying that they will use the Shenxiao warship to attack Haori Mountain in the future... and those who said this are a few foundation-building disciples."
Xie Qingxue was a little stunned.
She naturally felt that these foundation-building disciples were being a bit arrogant...
What kind of strength does Hao Rishan have? Is it something that a few foundation-building disciples can underestimate?
But on the other hand, she and Old Han looked at each other, and both had a question in their hearts: If it was a foundation-building disciple of Tianhe Sect, would he have such ambition? Thinking of the now somewhat decadent Tianhe Sect, both of them were silent.
But is this Tianhe Sect’s problem?
Let alone building a foundation, has any cultivator outside of the Five Sects ever had such ambitions?
He is clearly a disciple of the Nine Mountains Realm... It is too unreasonable! It was Elder Han who broke the silence:
"There are also mining ships, Shenxiao warships, and even this spiritual material conversion plant... I'm afraid they are just being arrogant for no reason."
At this point, Mr. Han suddenly said, "I am going to apply to Zheng Fa to go to Tiangong Pavilion."
Xie Qingxue nodded slightly.
I know that Mr. Han still has the same idea - to repay a favor.
Nowadays, the role of the Wushuang Society in spiritual materials is not that great.
The only way is to think of ways to refine equipment and create more "favors".
"I think that if nothing else works, I have to do more for Jiushan Sect. Otherwise, let alone asking Zheng Fa to help the Sect Master in the future, Yan Wushuang will still have to rely on Jiushan Sect for protection."
Old Han said softly.
Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then understood the subtext he didn't say out loud.
Although he had some delusions in his mind, Old Han also knew that it was unlikely that Zheng Fa would risk his life to help Tianhe Sect - no matter how grateful Zheng Fa was, there were so many people from the Jiushan Realm standing behind him, and he would never risk his life for Tianhe Sect.
But if there really is an enemy that the Tianhe Sect cannot deal with...wouldn't they think about eradicating it completely?
By then, I'm afraid I'll have to beg Zheng Fa to stand firm and protect them, no, to protect Yan Wushuang?
Xie Qingxue suddenly looked up at Han Lao, knowing that Han Lao was also revealing his plan: regardless of whether Zheng Fa took action or not, Han Lao was probably... ready to live and die with the sect, and now he was still struggling, was he trying to pave a way out for his junior brother? "After all, I am this kid's protector." Han Lao shook his head and said.
"In addition, if something really happens to Tianhe Sect, the inheritance of Tianhe Sect cannot be cut off."
"Perhaps the new hope of Tianhe Sect still lies in this kid Yan Wushuang."
Xie Qingxue was a little confused.
Yan Wushuang? Just him? You must be kidding! "He has good aptitude, and now he has learned the Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method, and has a good relationship with Zheng Fa..." Old Han listed Yan Wushuang's advantages one by one, "The main thing is that this kid has a good personality."
"Although he has a simple personality, he can be said to be upright. Perhaps the Tianhe Sect in the hands of this kid can live up to the title of the founder's successor..."
I have to say that Yan Wushuang really has these advantages.
Especially the two words "get people".
As the eldest senior sister of the Tianhe Sect, she may not be as popular as Yan Wushuang in the sect - this is of course because she is bound by secrecy and does not open up to others.
But Yan Wushuang's good popularity is also well-known in the sect.
But... think about how Yan Wushuang, who I watched grow up, has transformed into the hope of the new Tianhe Sect.
She wrinkled her nose and showed some disgust on her face.
…
Zheng Fa quickly approved Mr. Han's request to join Tiangong Pavilion.
After all, Tiangong Pavilion is now under time pressure and has heavy tasks, and Madam Xuanhua is the only one who can take on the task. Firstly, this old woman is a Nascent Soul after all, and secondly, she has some skills in refining equipment.
After signing some selling oneself...and confidentiality agreements, Mr. Han finally understood what Tiangong Pavilion was doing.
"The Divine Sky Battleship Formation?"
He stared at the design drawing in his hand so blankly that his eyes almost popped out.
"Using the Divine Sky Battleship to form an immortal formation?"
"Aiming to be able to strike at Yuan Ying?"
Madam Xuanhua looked at him with bright eyes, her gaze full of expectation: "This is a concept proposed by a disciple of Tiangong Pavilion. I think it makes sense... I am going to give the headmaster a surprise."
reason?
What the hell is this? You Nine Mountain Sect are so unreasonable! The Divine Sky Battleship is essentially powered by the Divine Sky External Pill...
According to Old Han's understanding, the operator of the Shenxiao battleship does not need to have the golden elixir level of cultivation, and it is enough to have enough foundation-building cultivators.
It is understandable that he can fight against the golden elixir.
But you actually want to use this Shenxiao battleship to fight against Yuanying? In other words, a group of foundation-building cultivators can fight against Yuanying with this thing!
Although he didn't dislike the bold words of the foundation-building disciples, he didn't really believe them. He just felt that these disciples had some ambitions, which made him envy them...
Who would have thought that they were serious!
He didn't know whether Zheng Fa was surprised or not, but he was frightened.
But he had to admit that, theoretically, he couldn't find any major problems with this design: the Shenxiao battleship was equivalent to a Waidan monk.
Using the most basic immortal formation method, twenty-four Shenxiao warships can form a formation with the power of Nascent Soul.
He could now understand why Zheng Fa, who had the Shenxiao mining ship and the spiritual material conversion plant, still felt that the spiritual materials were not enough. He said that the Shenxiao battleship formation required a huge amount of spiritual materials.
"What's the problem now?"
"I don't know..." Madam Xuanhua sighed helplessly, "It may be that the external elixir is different from the cultivator's golden elixir, which has an impact on the formation of the immortal formation."
"Or maybe the immortal formation is not perfect yet..."
"Or maybe, this is because we are not good enough in refining equipment."
"Our Jiushan Sect is really... a little shallow."
After saying this, Madam Xuanhua looked at Mr. Han expectantly, her words full of flattery:
"But as one of the five sects, the Tianhe Sect has a much deeper foundation than us..."
Some cold sweat broke out on Old Han's forehead.
He has a good background in the Five Sects, but there is really nothing so outrageous in the Five Sects.
"Um...I have to go back and study it. Study it."
It was too embarrassing for Old Han to say that he still didn't understand what was going on with the Shenxiao battleship, so he had to give a perfunctory answer.
After returning to the guest house, he talked to Xie Qingxue and adjusted his mentality: "Come to think of it, I see that Madam Xuanhua cares a lot about this thing. If we can really perfect it, it should be of great use to the Nine Mountains Realm..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xie Qingxue also showed some approval on her face.
Not to mention the Jiushan Sect, this thing is also very useful to the Tianhe Sect.
"And Madam Xuanhua is right. After all, we are one of the Five Sects, and our foundation is much deeper than that of the Nine Mountains Sect..."
"I'm afraid we really have to take the credit for this."
Senior Sister Zhang knew that Mr. Han’s confidence was not without reason - as one of the five sects, even if they were not as good at refining equipment as Hao Rishan.
Tiangong Pavilion may have some fantastic ideas, but realistically speaking, can your Jiushan Sect's efforts over a few years really compare to our Tianhe Sect's accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years?
…
In Chongxuan Sect, on the top of Shenhuo Mountain, Zheng Fa looked at the fog on the top of the mountain and felt a little annoyed.
Coming to Chongxuan Sect was quite a waste of time. The Nine Mountains Realm was full of complicated matters, and he also had to practice and perfect the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Transformations"...
But Hao Rishan is not a fool. After investing such a huge amount of money, there must be some methods that can really harm himself or the Nine Mountains Realm.
Turning a blind eye is never a good idea.
It would not be very effective for others from Jiushan Sect to try: not only are they not very proficient in the "Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Demons", but no one can learn his method of turning into a rainbow to save his life.
The most important thing is the Cang Hai Pearl on the chest...
Xiao Yuying was very generous in being willing to give herself to him, and Zheng Fa couldn't ask her to protect others no matter what.
Therefore, he had to come.
The only thing we can do now is to look for an opportunity to find out what is on the top of the Shenhuoshan Mountain as soon as possible and put an end to this matter... and Chongxuan Sect.
Just as Zheng Fa was thinking about finding an opportunity, the voice of the ninth elder of the Chongxuan Sect suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Come to my cave."
Zheng Fa was startled and walked towards the Ninth Elder's cave. Although he didn't understand why his cheap master was looking for him, after thinking about it, he felt that the safest breakthrough point was indeed the Ninth Elder of the Chongxuan Sect.
After entering the Ninth Elder's cave, Zheng Fa was even more surprised.
Unlike last time, only Zheng Fa was summoned this time.
"Raise your hands."
The Ninth Elder seemed to be a man of few words. When he saw Zheng Fa, he didn't say anything and gave orders directly.
Zheng Fa was a skilled and courageous person, so he was not afraid of this ordinary Nascent Soul. He simply stretched out his hand and saw the other party's finger tapping his wrist. A stream of spiritual power flowed into his meridians, circulated in his internal organs and dantian, and then returned to the other party's finger along the meridians on his wrist.
"As expected... your "Heaven Burning Technique" has been practiced to a very high level."
The "Changes of Tian Gang and Di Sha" is obviously not something that the Ninth Elder can see through.
The Ninth Elder looked at Zheng Fa and nodded with satisfaction, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that you would come out on top... You deserve the reputation of your Li ancestor."
Zheng Fa understood the meaning of this, as it involved a past event between the Ninth Elder and the Li family.
To put it simply, Li Hao's ancestors were once wealthy and helped the Ninth Elder when she was not yet powerful.
Later, the Li family fell into poverty and their inheritance was cut off. Finally, a man named Li Hao with decent qualifications emerged. The family asked Li Hao to come and become their disciple, taking the token from that year.
The Ninth Elder was not disloyal and accepted Li Hao as his disciple.
It’s just that Li Hao is introverted and his aptitude is not particularly good. The favor happened so long ago that I’m afraid the Ninth Elder himself doesn’t take it seriously.
Therefore, the Ninth Elder had a cold attitude towards these four disciples.
As a result, Li Hao felt inferior and fearful, so he naturally dared not approach the Ninth Elder. As time went by, the relationship between master and disciple became more and more distant.
Zheng Fa smiled but said nothing. He felt fortunate in his heart - Li Hao was originally like a mute, but he was actually very friendly to him when he acted.
"You don't want to go to Haori Mountain, but you blame me for ignoring you in the past?"
The Ninth Elder's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his words were like thunder, exploding in Zheng Fa's ears.
If he was really a Jindan cultivator, his mind would probably be shattered at this moment and he would blurt out all the truth.
But Zheng Fa...
"No!"
The words were firm and decisive, and they were the absolute truth. There was no point in complaining. We didn't even know each other well.
"So you don't want to go to Haori Mountain because of your master?" The Ninth Elder sneered, "Do you think I believe you?"
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Elder kept asking questions, obviously showing some doubts.
Zheng Fa's mind raced as he made up a reason:
"Actually... I don't want to go to Haori Mountain!" His tone was full of disdain for Haori Mountain, "I have the support of Master in the sect, but I'm still not happy."
"We are unfamiliar with the place when we go to Haori Mountain. Can we, as outsiders, have a good life?"
The Ninth Elder looked at Zheng Fa carefully, and saw that his face was full of disdain for Hao Ri Mountain, which was obviously 100% sincere. He was surprised and asked, "You actually look down on the Five Sects?"
"I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!"
This reason is reasonable, but what makes the Ninth Elder believe it even more is that this disciple really has a look of disgust and even aversion towards Hao Ri Mountain on his face! It doesn't seem fake.
That is indeed true. If there were no Haori Mountain, Zheng Fa and his senior sister might be experimenting with the Demon Ancestor's secret method now...
At this moment, Zheng Fa is completely acting in his true colors!
The Ninth Elder stared at him for a while, and then he seemed to remember something, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Then I will not be able to pass on the secret method of refining weapons from Hao Ri Mountain to you."
"Um?"
Zheng Fashi was stunned by these words. He could not help but stare at his cheap master with his eyes wide open.
"Hao Rishan... was extremely generous. Not only did he provide our Chong Xuan Sect with a lot of supplies, he also opened up some of his sect's secret techniques to some of his outstanding disciples..."
"In the past, you probably didn't qualify, but now that you have mastered the Heaven Burning Technique, you do meet the requirements. You are also qualified to learn some secret techniques."
Zheng Fa now understands that the ancestor of the Chongxuan Sect was indeed a secret disciple of Haori Mountain, and the sect's skills were also inextricably linked to Haori Mountain.
Even the weapon-refining method that he was good at was learned from Hao Rishan.
"Hao Rishan... so generous?"
The Ninth Elder sighed: "I don't know what happened, but the secret method is real. I even got the true method of transformation of spirit from Hao Ri Mountain."
Zheng's method of transforming spirit is understandable.
After all, the strength of a Daoguo cultivator depends more on the number and level of cultivators who practice his fundamental skills.
Simply put, Haori Mountain is trying to steal the cultivator population from the Baixian League.
Even for an elder like the Ninth Elder who has learned the Hao Ri Mountain martial arts, it would be unlikely for him to betray in the future.
As for the secret method of refining weapons... he couldn't figure out why.
But no matter what, Haori Mountain is hateful.
The secret method of refining weapons is innocent!
…
More than half a month later, Old Han hurriedly found Madam Xuanhua with a jade tube in his hand, with a proud look on his face: "Xuanhua, I found some tips from the weapon refining methods I know that may be useful for the Shenxiao battleship!"
Madam Xuanhua also had a jade tube in her hand. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the words, as if she was immersed in the jade tube.
"Xuanhua?"
"Ah? Ah... a secret method, right?" Madam Xuanhua seemed to have just heard what he said, and said, "Wait a minute, let me finish experimenting with the Haori Mountain weapon refining secret method that the sect leader learned from Chongxuan Sect, and then I'll try yours."
"Who? From where? What secrets did you learn?"
Old Han couldn't help but pick his ears. He had relied on his sharp ears to get ahead in everything in his life and had never doubted his hearing.
Until today, he felt as if he had gone astray and misunderstood what Madam Xuanhua said.
But seeing Madam Xuanhua's affirmative expression, Old Han almost wanted to curse out loud: Are those people in Haori Mountain sick?
Are you trying to steal my credit? (End of this chapter)
