"Sea beast? Fifth level?"
Ren Huan stepped forward to look at the body of the sea beast in surprise, and asked, "Did you hunt it alone?"
Shang Xia replied: "That's not true. I joined forces with another friend from the fifth heaven to kill them. Because I did her a favor, all these sea beasts were given to me."
It seems that if Shang Xia and Madam Yu hadn't joined forces, it would have been almost impossible for either of them to hunt this fifth-level sea beast alone.
In the sea, the fifth-level sea beast naturally occupies a convenient location. If the Muhaizong warrior who secretly controlled the sea beast had not lost his head, even if the two of them joined forces to hunt down the sea beast, it would have taken a lot of effort.
Among the three, Ren Baibai is good at repairing instruments, Ren Huan is good at making talisman paper, and Shang Quan himself can barely be regarded as a third-level ink craftsman.
However, when it comes to knowledge and skills, Ren Huan is undoubtedly the best among the three.
After he carefully inspected the body of this huge fifth-level sea beast, he said with a little pity and a little luck: "Although the sea beast is not small, it has many wounds on its body surface, and the skin will definitely be peeled off." Affected. But fortunately, what you hunted was a fifth-level sea beast, not a fifth-level sea fish. Otherwise, it might not be easy to make a fifth-level talisman."
Upon hearing this, Shang Xia quickly asked: "Why, can't the skin of sea fish be used to make talisman paper?"
Ren Huan replied: "It's not that it can't be done, but that marine fish skin is naturally inferior to animal skins of the same level. It's natural that fifth-level marine fish skin can't be used to make fifth-level talisman paper, but can't it be used to make fourth-level talisman paper?"
Shang Xia was slightly disappointed when he heard this, and said: "I originally thought that hunting sea fish and sea beasts overseas might become a stable channel for Fu Tang to obtain the source of talisman paper. Now that I hear you say this, it seems that the gain outweighs the gain."
Ren Huan said with a smile: "Although I have never been overseas personally, I also know from some documents and documents collected that the scales of many sea fish are quite useful. Even if they cannot be used to make talisman paper, they can also be used to make talismans. The road to refining weapons. Moreover, the sea is boundless, and there are countless sea beasts and sea fish in it, but it is also because the sea is boundless. Even if you want to hunt down advanced sea fish and sea beasts, you must be able to find them."
Shang Xia nodded when he heard this, but still said: "But no matter what, trying to find and hunt sea fish and sea beasts from the sea still needs to be put on the agenda."
Ren Huan suggested: "You can ask some overseas sects for some methods of hunting sea fish and sea beasts. Those overseas sects must have tried it, but it may not be of much use. Otherwise, Cangshengjie will not even have an overseas martial arts school." The Holy Land Sect is gone too, but it’s better than nothing.”
Shang Xia thought of the secret realm of the Mysterious Realm in Tianya Pavilion and the method used by Muhai Sect Muhai to drive fifth-level sea beasts with his fourth-level cultivation. He couldn't help but said: "Overseas sects may not have their merits. Besides, Cang Shengjie Rong Although the origin of the three realms was not successfully promoted to the spiritual world in the end, the large-scale overflow of the origin also caused the cultivation resources contained in this world to emerge on a large scale."
Having said this, Shang Xia thought for a while and then said: "On land, the structure of the martial arts world is relatively fixed. Youzhou has basically been under the control of the academy, but it is almost impossible to expand the scope of strength outside Youzhou. , and now the only direction that can continue to expand outward is the sea.”
In fact, considering the current situation of Youzhou being vast and sparsely populated, Youzhou's cultivation resources are sufficient for the cultivation of Youzhou warriors.
But the actual situation is that a large number of resources in Youzhou Prefecture have not yet been developed. However, the top leaders of the academy, represented by Shang Xia, are still advocating to expand outward and obtain more cultivation resources from overseas.
The purpose of Shang Xia is very clear. There are always resources in the state. Even if they have not been developed yet, since the entire Youzhou is already under control, why rush to develop it? What's more, you can also get supplementary cultivation resources from overseas or other channels!
Shang Xia looked at Ren Bainian again and said: "Senior Ren, do you think the bones on this sea beast can be
Used to replace the barrel of the Bone Talisman Pen, thereby further improving the quality of this high-grade Talisman Pen? "
Ren Bainian smiled bitterly and said: "I will try my best, but the spirit bones on this sea beast will probably be wasted a lot, and it will also require the help of several weapon masters in the Qi Hall."
Shang Xia pointed to the body of the sea beast and said, "Here, all senior spirit bones and Futang members can use it as they wish."
Ren Baibai cupped his hand and said nothing more, seeming to be thinking about how to improve the bone talisman pen.
Shang Xia then handed the collected fifth-level sea beast blood to Shang Quan and said with a smile: "Uncle Quan, animal blood is an important raw material for making talisman ink. You can use these to try to make fourth-level talisman ink."
Shang Quan smiled bitterly and said: "Ashamed, I am just a little new at making third-level talisman. Now that I have the fifth-level beast blood in my hands, I am afraid that most of the natural resources will be wasted."
Shang Xia, however, disagreed and said, "How can you talk about wasting natural resources? Uncle Quan can just use it without worry. But when did Uncle Quan become a third-level ink master, this is a happy event."
Shang Quan quickly waved his hand and said: "Actually, it was a coincidence. I accidentally discovered a kind of crystal powder, and mixed it into the ink with the idea of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, I made a third-level talisman ink three times in a row. success."
Upon hearing this, Shang Xia suddenly became interested and said, "Oh, is there such a thing?"
Shang Quan smiled bitterly and said: "That kind of crystal powder is only effective for that kind of third-order talisman. Later, during the trial production process of the other two third-order talismans, several attempts failed without exception."
Shang Xia had a thought in his mind and asked, "What kind of crystal powder does Uncle Quan use?"
Shang Quan said: "It is said that the crystals used to grind the crystal powder are actually similar to the source crystals, but the vitality contained in them is extremely cold and not as mellow as the source crystals."
Shang Xia asked: "Where did Uncle Quan find this kind of crystal? Is there any more, and can its source be found?"
Things that can interest and value a fifth-level master are certainly not trivial things.
Shang Quan immediately realized that the value of the spar, which he originally thought was of limited use, might far exceed his estimate. He quickly said: "Xiao Xia, is that spar very important? That spar is just for family business." The team got it by chance, and as for its origin, it should be from Liaozhou."
"Liaozhou?"
Shang Xia was slightly startled, then pondered for a moment and said: "You can inform the person in charge of the merchant caravan and the college caravan going to and from Liaozhou, and ask them to collect these naturally occurring crystals as much as possible, but there is no need to be too public, secretly Just do it.”
After finishing his instructions, Shang Xia said to Shang Quan: "In recent years, many natural crystals similar to source crystals have appeared in Cangsheng Realm, but not many people really realize their value, so this is of great significance to us. Say it’s an opportunity.”
Having said this, Shang Xia looked at Ren Bainian and Ren Huan again, obviously explaining to them the reason for doing this: "As for the functions of these special source crystals, I have only just gained some insights. , but I believe they must have more uses in other aspects, but these uses may require you to discover them yourself."
Having said this, Shang Xia said "hmm" and said: "When you are trial-producing various artifacts in the future, you might as well try to add different types of special source crystals to try to discover more such special source crystals. Use, as for the losses caused in the process, I will explain it to the deputy mountain chiefs."
After listening to what Shang Xia said, all the three people in front of them looked excited.
The so-called "adding special source crystals" comes second. The key is that it allows people to let go and test various ideas regardless of losses. This is what really makes the three of them excited.
Even in order to put more of their ideas into practice, they must force the matter of doping special crystals into it.
Shang Xia naturally knew that this would inevitably lead to serious consequences in a short period of time.
A huge waste of resources, but he firmly believes that it will all be worth it in the long run.
After sending the three people away, Shang Xia rushed to the array hall without stopping, only to find out that Chu Jia had not stayed here at all recently, but had been renovating the floating island in Tianwai Qionglu.
So Shang Xia hurried to Tianwai Qionglu again, only to find that Chu Jia was bringing two third-level formation masters, as well as several warriors from the formation hall who were already above the third level, and two third-level talismans from the Fu Hall. Master, at this time, the reconstruction of the extremely small land fragment has completely come to a standstill.
Seeing the arrival of Shang Xia, Chu Jia, who was already unhappy, immediately found an outlet to vent his anger.
"What are you doing here? Are you, the Great Talisman Master of Futang, here to see our Jintang's jokes?"
Seeing this, the other people in the Jintang silently moved away from the two of them.
Shang Xia seemed unaware of the situation around him. He only walked closer to observe the traces of the formation on the floating island and said, "We have encountered a problem. Why is there such a big fire?"
Chu Jia snorted coldly and turned her head away. She felt that Shang Xia was deliberately mocking him.
Seeing this, Shang Xia said helplessly: "I came here originally to ask for your help in detailing a matter, but I never thought that you would also encounter difficulties here."
"What difficulty is this?" Chu Jia said proudly: "What difficulty is there in building a floating island that can carry a certain number of middle and low-level warriors and can fly in the void? Now we just want to minimize losses. That’s all.”
Hearing this, Shang Xia roughly observed the surface of the floating island again. Although he did not understand the formation, he still had the most basic knowledge.
After a while, I heard him weighing his tone and said: "Looking at the area of this floating island platform, it can carry about seventy or eighty people at a time? Well, how many people are needed to push the floating island forward in the void?"
It can be said that Shang Xia got to the point of the question right away, but Chu Jia felt even more angry and even less willing to speak.
"According to the current inference, even after we complete the formation layout, when carrying 80 people, we will still need at least three or four fourth-level warriors to join forces to move the floating island in the void, but the speed is very fast. If you don't get up, I'm afraid that before reaching Sanhe Island, several fourth-level masters will fall down from exhaustion. Therefore, in order to ensure that the floating island continues to fly, at least six or seven fourth-level warriors will be needed on the island to fight in two groups. Floating Island for driving.”
Shang Xia recognized that the person speaking was Bai Luming, a third-level formation master in the formation hall.
Chu Jia was a little angry when he heard this and said: "Bai Luming, if you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."
It's just that Bai Luming is also a chicken thief. After saying what he just said, he had already hid behind the others.
Shang Xia smiled, then thought about it and said, "What if we use the source crystal? Or let every warrior who can get to the floating island join in?"
This time, before Bai Luming could speak, Chu Jia had already retorted: "It's easy to say, but how many source crystals will be consumed? I'm afraid the source crystals earned by walking back and forth on Sanhe Island are not enough. And don't forget , those who want to go to Sanhe Island must use the Tongyou Blessed Land to reach Tianwai Qionglu, otherwise they will not even be qualified to board this floating island."
"As for letting those people join in, they themselves are middle and low-level warriors, whether they are second-level or third-level warriors. The role they can play is really limited. What's more, they already took out the source crystal to go to the floating island, and the result is Spending your own energy to drive Floating Island to Sanhe Island is too..."
Shang Xia nodded, looked at Chu Jia and said, "Maybe I can help you solve this problem."
Chu Jia glanced at him, his tone full of disbelief: "Is there anything you can do, use a talisman?"
Shang Xia smiled and said: "I have a set of ideas for the Five Elements Formation. I need your help in arranging and perfecting it."
"What Five Elements Formation? Do you still know the formation?" Chu Jia looked sideways at Shang Xia and asked.
