|||->->After understanding the situation in Tongyou Valley, Cheng Ling asked about the situation in Wuxiang Valley.
Liu Qingyan said: "The situation in the valley is very good. The dozen or so disciples lost in the last ambush in the battle hall have been replaced, and the number remains at a hundred. As for everyone's cultivation, they have made great progress in the past two years."
Cheng Ling asked: "How is the situation in the four halls of the Alchemy and Talisman Array?"
Liu Qingyan said: "The four halls have all improved a lot, but let them report back to you as to the specifics!"
Cheng Ling knew that she was not very good at this, so she chuckled and said, "That's all, tell the hall masters to come over. Qingyan, I have always wanted to form a powerful intelligence agency, but I just suffered from the lack of suitable candidates. Is there anything good?" recommend?"
Liu Qingyan smiled bitterly and shook her head. Cheng Ling had discussed this matter with her a long time ago. At that time, she could not find any suitable candidate. Two years later, there was still no clue.
Cheng Ling thought hard, it was really difficult to find such a person. He must be absolutely loyal to himself, his cultivation level cannot be too low, and he must be versatile so that no major force will doubt his identity. Most of the people around him have appeared in front of others, so it is really hard to choose.
As he thought about it, his eyes scanned everyone one by one. After scanning around, I suddenly felt like something was missing. I couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel like someone is missing?"
Liu Qingyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are talking about Sister Bai, right? She is impatient to stay in Wuxiang Valley, and she left the valley to work outside a few months ago!"
Cheng Ling was startled and asked: "What? She went out to wander? What's going on!"
"You still don't understand the temperament of your sister Bai? After the last ambush, I only stayed for a few months. Seeing that you didn't turn around, I said I would go out to search. I wandered outside for a while and didn't stay for a few months after I came back. Yue, ran out again."
"Ah! What if she has an accident?"
"There's no need to worry. Didn't you leave her a message jade slip, which can be used to convey news? A few days ago, the news came back that she hadn't seen the sea for a long time and planned to go to the east of the mainland to have a look."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and said hurriedly: "Let her come back quickly. Forget it, I'll tell her myself that I have thought about how to build this intelligence system."
Liu Qingyan asked suspiciously: "You plan to let Sister Bai be responsible for the construction of the intelligence system?"
"Why not? Although Sister Bai is a monster, as long as she is in charge and tells her subordinates to do the rest, it shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, very few people in the nine major forces know her, so it is convenient to hide her identity. Besides, let's let her She’s a little busy, so she doesn’t have to run around.”
Liu Qingyan teased: "You know her temperament very well~!" There was a hint of jealousy in her words.
Cheng Ling was feeling a headache when several hall masters happened to walk in. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "How are the entrances of your halls?"
Alchemy Hall He Shuying said: "Sect Master, I am already an alchemy master at the early stage of the eighth grade."
Xia Zhentian of Zhentang said: "Sect Master, I am already a mid-eighth rank Zhendao Grandmaster."
Wang Huairen of the Weapon Hall said: "Sect Master, my weapon refining has also reached the early stage of the eighth level."
Fu Jian was left in the end, and this time with a little more momentum, he said: "Sect Master, Fu Tang has been working hard to learn the inheritance of Fu Dao from the Zhou family in the past few years, and today it has finally reached the early stage of the eighth grade."
Cheng Ling nodded happily and said, "Okay, everyone is fine!"
When he saw Fu Jian's lips moving, as if he was hesitant to speak, he said:
"Master Fu, if you have anything to do, just say it!"
Fu Jian said: "Sect Master, our Futang has recently developed an attack talisman. This talisman is extremely penetrating and cannot be resisted by ordinary monks. I was wondering if it could be applied in combat."
Cheng Ling's heart moved and asked: "How powerful is it?"
"This is a talisman from the early stage of the eighth level. When we tested it, a seventh-level monster would die after being hit three times. Even an eighth-level monster would only need to be hit ten times."
An idea flashed in Cheng Ling's mind, and he suddenly remembered the time when he used crossbow arrows to kill Blood Sea Sect disciples on Canglang Island. The Ouyang Family and the three major sects in the south have a large number of monks, but if they have such powerful crossbow arrows and replace the crossbow arrows with talismans, they can make up for the disadvantage in numbers.
The number of disciples in the Famous Sword Academy and the Zhou Family is less than 50,000. With such a weapon to kill enemies, they are not afraid of siege at all, and they can also kill people in the dark.
Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Yes, Hall Master Fu has a lot of ideas. In this way, you and Hall Master Wang can discuss and refine a batch of crossbows, and then merge the talismans into them to form a complete set of crossbows. , easy to replace at any time.”
As he spoke, he carefully sketched the shape of the crossbow in the void. The two were overjoyed when they saw it. This method of firing crossbows was very simple. The most important thing was that it was easy to replace without wasting too much spiritual energy. With such a powerful weapon, you don't have to be afraid no matter how many enemies you face.
Cheng Ling said again: "Palace Master Wang, there is one more thing you have to do!"
Wang Huairen perked up and said, "Please give me your instructions, Master."
Cheng Ling continued to outline a human figure in the void. When everyone looked at it, they saw it was a suit of armor. The armor has two layers, the inner layer is close to the body, and there is a bright mirror on the chest.
The outside is a wide cloak, but the style of the cloak is a bit weird. It completely covers the entire body. There are only a few large holes at the top for the head and arms to pass through. There is no gap in the rest of the place up to the feet.
In addition to the cloak, there is also a helmet, which completely covers the head. Only the eyeballs are inlaid with two smooth mirrors to facilitate vision.
He continued: "Both the cloak and the inner armor require the defensive power of high-grade treasures. As for the helmet, it is as strong as it can be. After the refining is completed, the formation pattern will be carved by the formation hall disciples to enhance the defensive power and concealment of the cloak and helmet. Effect."
"In this way, coupled with the crossbows you have developed, such a mysterious team must be extremely lethal!"
When everyone saw it, they were filled with ecstasy. This set of equipment not only has amazing defensive power, but also has the effect of shielding spiritual consciousness. It is really a must-have weapon for launching sneak attacks. Moreover, the equipment design is very exquisite, making people unable to put it down after seeing it.
The three hall masters stood up one after another and said: "Don't worry, Sect Master, we will refine it as soon as possible."
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "Well, there's nothing wrong with the materials, right? How many sets can be made?"
The three of them looked at each other, calculated secretly for a while, and then said: "According to the requirements of the sect master, this set of armor requires a lot of materials. Currently, the materials in Wuxiang Valley can barely refine fifty sets!"
Cheng Ling frowned. The quantity was less than he expected. It seemed that he had to find a way to get more materials. He then said: "It doesn't matter, you can refine a set first and see the effect. I will figure out the materials!"
The three of them agreed excitedly.
When He Shuying saw that all three halls had tasks personally issued by the sect leader, she couldn't sit still. What should I say first?
The master of the hall is also the wife of the sect master, so how can Dantang not contribute to the sect. She then said: "Sect Master, they all have tasks, what about our Alchemy Hall?"
Cheng Ling smiled, he knew He Shuying somewhat. Because of Xi Yan's relationship, Dantang has always been among the best in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, and his cultivation has reached perfection, and he has a certain attitude of not being inferior to men.
He took out the ten rings handed to him by Feng Feifei and said: "Master He, don't be anxious, the mission of the Alchemy Hall is not light! Look, these rings are full of herbal materials. I will teach you a few more alchemy recipes. This sect wants the Alchemy Hall. A master of alchemy who has reached the peak of the eighth level within a year."
He Shuying was overjoyed and took the ring from Cheng Ling's hand, and then she felt relieved.
Seeing him implementing everything one by one, Liu Qingyan said: "It will be good if you come back. These chores will finally be taken care of by someone. The three of you have reached the Mahayana stage, and I don't want to be thrown away too much. From now on, I will I will start to retreat and will never leave the retreat until the Mahayana period."
Cheng Ling smiled, threw a bottle of elixir to her, and said, "Okay, you focus on practicing first. Here is the tribulation-breaking elixir. Come out and help me when you break through to the Mahayana stage."
Liu Qingyan took it with a smile, turned around and left the meeting hall, not wanting to stay any longer.
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, Liu Qingyan was extremely talented and a madman in cultivation. It would not take long to break through the Mahayana stage, and by then he would have one more fighting force.
Seeing that Cheng Ling had no other instructions, everyone dispersed one by one. Only Xie Feng asked after they left: "Brother Cheng, I want to go to the Zhongnan Mountains you mentioned. If I can find the Qilin Heart Fire, it will be of great help to me."
Cheng Ling nodded and told him the location of the Zhongnan Mountains in detail. After that, he said: "Brother Xie Feng, Zhang Xiyan has been practicing in the south before. Maybe she can be found south of the Zhongnan Mountains."
"Okay, then I'll go over there and have a look!"
After sending Xie Feng away, Cheng Ling sent another message to Bai Suzhen, asking her to rush back to Wuxiang Valley as soon as possible. Thinking of the materials for refining the armor, he got up and walked towards Tongyou Valley.
The materials in Wuxiang Valley are limited, so we can only find a way to ask Zhou Changtian to see if he can gather more materials. Another point is that if you want to establish an intelligence system, the disciples of the Zhou family in the southern region will be more familiar with it. With their help, you will get twice the result with half the effort!
After a while, he arrived at Zhou Changtian's wing.
Seeing that he came to the door again not long after, Zhou Changtian felt puzzled and bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
"Well, I need a lot of materials for refining weapons and talismans. Is there any ready-made material in Tongyou Valley?"
Zhou Changtian was stunned and said: "There is still only a small half of the materials from the three major families that were collected back then. I wonder if it is enough?"
Cheng Ling frowned and said: "In this way, Master Zhou, you will help me purchase as much as I want in Xiangcheng in the near future. However, we must also pay attention to the method of acquisition. It is best to spread it out and not attract the attention of the Ouyang family. .”
Zhou Changtian looked bitter and said: "Your Majesty, if we can collect materials for making talismans without any worries, my Zhou family is originally a talisman family. But the materials for refining weapons are a bit troublesome. Nowadays, most of the shops in Xiangcheng are controlled by Ouyang In the hands of the Maison, it is difficult to conceal a large number of acquisitions.”
Cheng Ling thought about it, but it was a pity that more materials were needed to refine the armor than the talisman materials. After thinking for a long time, he said: "In this case, maybe you can ask the family's weapon refining master to come forward and cover it up to some extent!"
Zhou Changtian thought for a long time and had no other choice but to agree.
