Gao Han didn’t know that people outside were discussing him. He told Zhongli Tingzhou that he wanted to go into seclusion again.
"What are you going to do this time?" Zhongli Tingzhou closed his eyes slightly, looking lazy.
"Refine spiritual weapons. So many were destroyed before. The siege is coming soon. I need to prepare more."
Gao Han looked at him and realized that he was just a figurehead. Now he understood why he never cared about the big or small matters of the military and had nothing to do every day and was free to walk around.
"If you're bored, go help the old man and General Shen. You don't have to stay with me. Breaking through is different from refining a spiritual weapon."
Zhongli Tingzhou did not refute, but just asked: "Are you sure?"
"Of course, you can also tell me what kind of spiritual weapon you want." Gao Han had wanted to ask something for a long time, "What level of spiritual weapon is the sword you usually use? Who refined it?"
Zhongli Tingzhou said nothing and threw the sword to him, "You can see for yourself."
As soon as he picked up the sword, he felt a cool feeling. Gao Han immediately judged that cold iron must have been added when the sword was being refined.
"It is indeed a superior spiritual weapon, with four top-level symbols. Amazing. There is a strong man with such strength in China. Apart from my mentor, it should be Dean Kong, right?"
Gao Han guessed for a while and then looked at him.
"You have a very good eye. You are worthy of being my dear." Zhongli Tingzhou said with a smile.
Hearing that he had changed his name again, Gao Han had never heard of it before, and asked curiously: "Where did you learn it from?"
Zhongli Tingzhou answered the question irrelevantly, and his answer was pointed out, "Fugui has recently started watching modern dramas again."
Gao Han understood and said decisively: "Don't let it watch it anymore. This is the main disaster area, not the villa. For the next month, it is forbidden to watch TV series."
After successfully tricking his son, Zhongli Tingzhou specifically asked, "Are other dramas also not possible?"
"no!"
Gao Han returned the sword to him, said these words, and closed the door to go into seclusion.
Zhongli Tingzhou slowly returned to the next room. After coming back, they lived with the old man because Gao Han had to go into seclusion and it was no longer suitable for him to live with everyone.
Gao Han was afraid that Fugui would disturb him, so he gave the dog to Zhongli Tingzhou. Zhongli Tingzhou was too lazy to take care of it, so he locked it in the room every day. When Fugui was bored, he would watch TV by himself.
It was still watching when Zhongli Tingzhou entered the room.
The little body was buried in the chair. People who didn't know would think his room was haunted because no one was watching and the TV was on.
Zhongli Tingzhou, who was determined to implement the "leadership" policy, immediately turned off the TV.
Fugui turned his head and looked at him with resentment, asking why you turned off my modern drama.
"Your father doesn't let you watch it, for fear that you would teach me bad things." Zhongli Tingzhou was holding a golden medal and was extremely arrogant.
Fugui widened his eyes in disbelief and said, “I don’t believe it. The host would never do this to me. I need to talk to the host and explain things clearly.”
With a plop, he immediately jumped off the chair and was about to run over, but was stopped by Zhongli Tingzhou's words.
"He is in seclusion. Try to disturb him."
It was like a bolt from the blue. Sometimes the host would be in seclusion for a long time. Wouldn't it be unable to watch the drama during this period?
After weighing the pros and cons, Fugui calmed down and began to think about the feasibility of having a fight with the previous host. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the previous host might take the opportunity to throw it away, and he instantly dismissed the idea.
Seeing that it actually compromised, Zhongli Tingzhou thought it would struggle for a while, but suddenly felt bored.
But he didn't stay idle for long, as he was soon taken away by the old man who knew he had nothing to do.
Before leaving, Zhongli Tingzhou gave Fugui a task, asking it to guard Gao Han's room and notify him if anyone with ill intentions approached. He completely forgot that Fugui must not be seen by anyone.
What Gao Han lacked the least now was materials for refining weapons. However, before refining the weapons, he took out a book from the Yayoi Ring and flipped to the end.
The manuscripts of Mr. Yuanshan are divided into several stages, and the first stage is what he is learning now.
By the second stage, the method of refining spiritual weapons was somewhat different.
Equipment refining, like everything else, is constantly evolving.
The higher the stage, the more perfect the instrument becomes, and in the end, it is said that the talisman will disappear or even evolve to a higher level.
Unfortunately, after Gao Han turned the last page, there were no more pages after that. There were no missing pages, but it ended at the second stage. There may be a third and fourth page later.
He searched all the bookshelves but did not find the later manuscripts, so he always suspected that if this thing existed, it was most likely in the top gray grid that had not been opened.
Gao Han looked at the gray top layer again. Without any clues, he had to rely on himself to explore.
So far, he has no clue.
Are the conditions for opening the top floor related to cultivation level, or to the ability to refine equipment, or are there some specific codes?
Not knowing any of this, Gao Han could only give up studying this temporarily. The most important thing now was to improve his strength.
The second stage of refining in the manuscript not only has slightly different techniques, but also different materials.
Gao Han discovered that most of these things were in the main disaster area. They might be hard to find in other disaster areas, but they were almost everywhere in the main disaster area, such as the crystal cores in the brains of mutant creatures.
After everything was ready, he started to work.
Long time ago, he discovered that the weapon refining system of Chinese weapon masters was relatively simple, and the method that was widely circulated was the one he used before.
Using talismans to achieve the greatest effect should be called a talisman system. However, in the manuscript of old man Yuanshan, the method of using talismans as a medium seemed to be abandoned in the end.
More content may have to wait until he unlocks the top bookshelf.
This time I was in seclusion for five days, without leaving the house, until the ground began to shake slightly.
The last spiritual weapon was finally completed. Gao Han stopped and made sure that there was no problem with the spiritual weapon before he left.
When the sun came out again, the sky and the ground of the city were full of people. Some exchange points were crowded with people. In the distance, the roars of mutant creatures could be heard.
"Aunt, you're out?" Zhongli Changze's surprised voice came over.
Su Zhouhe, who was standing next to him, was caught off guard. He was shocked by the word "Auntie" and smacked his lips. "Auntie?"
Gao Han noticed Su Zhouhe's expression and knew that he had heard it, so he glared at Zhongli Changze.
Zhongli Changze looked at Su Zhouhe with a guilty expression. He forgot that Su Zhouhe was also there.
"Well, I called you the wrong name. It's not Auntie, it's not Auntie."
Zhongli Changze wondered if it was too late to make amends.
Su Zhouhe gave him a look that said "too late". He was not deaf so he could not hear it. Moreover, there is a word to describe this kind of reaction: "an attempt to hide something only makes it more obvious".
Although I knew that Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou had a special relationship, I never expected that they had that kind of relationship. Not only were they together, but they also had the approval of their families.
But that's all, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. It's too common between men nowadays.
Su Zhouhe coughed lightly. He didn't expect that Gao Han would actually allow Zhongli Tingzhou's family to call him aunt. This title always felt inappropriate for the cold Gao Han.
"What's the situation now?" Gao Han was too lazy to say anything more and took the initiative to change the subject.
Su Zhouhe knew that he had been in seclusion for a few days, and explained: "Now the soul cultivators can no longer leave the city, and there are mutant creatures outside the city walls.
As you might have guessed, these advanced mutant creatures are very smart.
Now we are only sending out mutant creatures for land combat, and there are not many mutant creatures flying in the air.
It seems that they are deliberately creating the illusion that their main force is made up of terrestrial mutants, but in fact, there are densely packed mutant flying creatures living behind them. "
"The war will start in the next two days." He had already said it, and Zhongli Changze only added one sentence.
Gao Han nodded, "Then it will be either tonight or tomorrow night. You should be careful these two nights."
The two men nodded. Now that the army of mutant creatures had been assembled, it was too late to change the plan temporarily. The military headquarters on duty no longer had to worry about being told.
"Changze, where is your uncle?" Gao Han asked again.
Zhongli Changze replied: "It seems to be on the city wall. My uncle has been dragged by grandpa to inspect the past few days. He may still be there now."
"Then let's ignore him for now. At school, have Instructor Long and the others made all the arrangements? Are they going to fight alone or cooperate with the military?" Gao Han asked again.
Su Zhouhe and Zhongli Changze are both considered the leading figures of the third year, and Long Zhan and Instructor Zhao have already discussed this with them.
"The instructors have decided to disperse the students. Although everyone has experience fighting mutant creatures, most of them are new to defending a city. They also rarely fight flying mutant creatures. It's better to let experienced people lead them."
Just as Gao Han thought, although everyone had almost coordinated well after a month of running-in, the lack of experience in defending a city could easily become a fatal point on the battlefield.
The atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense.
Su Zhouhe and his colleagues began to comfort those students who had not participated in the defense of the city and were timid in their hearts, and help them regain their confidence.
On the other side, Gao Han did not go to find Zhongli Tingzhou. He returned to the room and picked up the last spiritual weapon he had refined.
The biggest difference between this spiritual weapon and the previous ones lies in their properties.
It is no longer a triangular symbol, but several grooves.
There are several bright crystal cores inlaid in the grooves.
This is the second form of spiritual weapon and also the second stage of weapon refining, commonly known as evolution.
During the days of seclusion, Gao Han tried several times, but only this time was successful.
Although it was only a lower-level spiritual weapon, perhaps due to the different refining methods and materials, he could feel that the power of this lower-level crystal core spiritual weapon should be almost the same as that of a mid-level talisman spiritual weapon.
The physical form of the crystal core spiritual weapon is still a knife.
Gao Han prefers knives and daggers to swords.
However, the dagger is too short and is only suitable for surprise attacks, but not very suitable for large battlefields, especially air combat.
After collecting the data of the crystal core spiritual weapon, Gao Han put it away temporarily and took out a book from the Yayoi Ring.
On the cover of the book were written three large, ancient characters: Eight Divine Swords.
The moves of the Eight Divine Swords are not as many as the 108 moves of the Yi Tian Sword, but each move is more difficult to learn than the Yi Tian Sword.
Gao Han originally had no intention of learning swordsmanship. This was due to his habits from his previous life. Rather than a head-on, aggressive attack, he preferred a deadly surprise attack.
However, on the battlefield, or when facing a situation with more enemies, your opponent will not be able to give you a one-on-one or surprise attack opportunity, so it is necessary to learn a set of sword techniques.
Just as I was thinking about it, a long horn sounded suddenly from outside.
This was the sound of war starting, and Gao Han immediately put away his sword.
Zhongli Tingzhou just pushed the door open.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, there was a loud noise outside.
"Has it started?" Gao Han asked hurriedly.
Zhongli Tingzhou nodded, but he was not nervous. "How is your retreat going?"
Seeing that he didn't react much, Gao Han threw the spiritual weapon in his hand to him.
Zhongli Tingzhou took the magic weapon and couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise when he saw it.
"Is this spiritual weapon different from ordinary spiritual weapons?"
"To be precise, it should be a crystal core spiritual weapon. When I was refining it, I not only integrated some attribute crystal cores into the materials, but also changed the talisman. Now it relies on the energy of the crystal core for amplification."
The crystal core is generated by the cultivation of mutant creatures. The energy contained in it is not much less than that of the talisman. Especially the higher the level of the crystal core, the more energy it contains.
Zhongli Tingzhou immediately realized that the emergence of the crystal core spiritual weapon would not only shock the weapon masters, but the one who would be most affected would probably be the talisman masters.
What he could think of, Gao Han had already thought of.
"Although the talisman is no longer used, its usefulness has not diminished at all."
"Oh?" As far as Zhongli Tingzhou knew, the hot sales of talismans were due to the existence of talisman artifacts.
Gao Han smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten? My dad also likes to study auxiliary props, such as the immobilization talisman, which is actually one of them."
