The moonlight shines like water, filtering in from the window, reflecting on the medicine cauldron with a green luster, making the ancient seal script on the cauldron exude inexplicable connotations.
The curling smoke overflowed from the cauldron cover and condensed in mid-air without dissipating. Sometimes it turned into a roaring beast, sometimes into a strange-shaped sacred plant, which looked mysterious and unusual.
Under the medicine cauldron, the spiritual fire transformed by spiritual power burned according to a specific rhythm, and even the temperature was constantly changing.
Right in front of the medicine cauldron, Su Mo sat cautiously on the ground, staring at the medicine cauldron without blinking.
He kept reciting the formula, put in many medicinal plants that were rare in the world, and entered the seals one after another.
Like this, about ten minutes passed.
Seeing the elixir energy above the medicine cauldron turn into a purple ganoderma-like elixir cloud, Su Mo suddenly exhaled and said:
"receive!"
With a command, the Ganoderma-like pill cloud was quickly thrown into the cauldron and mixed with the medicinal liquid.
In an instant, all kinds of changes bloomed at the same time, and the swirling liquid liquid quickly turned into pills, which appeared in the cauldron.
When he opened the lid of the cauldron and looked at the results inside, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh:
"Three positive elixirs, two secondary elixirs, and five useless elixirs, okay, okay."
"Thanks to my good progress in alchemy not long ago, otherwise I might not be able to refine so many Nirvana Pills this time."
Although Du Ni Dan is only a third-grade elixir, it can be used to help practitioners break through to the mage realm, so the refining process is not simple. It is extremely difficult among third-grade elixirs, and is comparable to some fourth-grade elixirs.
Under normal circumstances, dune pills are specially refined by some fourth-grade alchemists and above.
For example, those alchemists whose cultivation is below the mage level often find it difficult to successfully refine it.
Even if it succeeds, the rate of elixir formation is extremely low, and it is completely uneconomical to compare the cost.
Therefore, many low-level practitioners purchased the Nirvana Pills from high-level alchemists.
Just one would cost you almost half of your net worth.
It can be said that those cultivators at the peak of level 9 are the easiest leeks to harvest.
As long as one can master the refining method of the Nirvana Pill and the rate of its success is guaranteed, he can basically accumulate enough resources to practice to the Saint Master realm.
But now, Su Mo can get five finished pills after refining them for the first time.
Even if only three of them can be considered genuine, the 30% success rate is enough to open a shop.
Not to mention that the rate of elixir formation this time is also subject to many restrictions. For example, the Double Dragon Grass has been snatched and split before. Moreover, the ingredients provided by Liang Pingfeng are of different years and have different medicinal effects. In the end, among them Some of the accessories have disappeared and others have been replaced.
There is the possibility of optimization for all these factors.
According to Su Mo's estimation, once the skills mature and the materials are ready, it will not be difficult to maintain the Dane Dan's success rate at over 80%.
By that time, the world will be full of leeks who are about to break through to the mage realm.
He has no worries about not earning enough spiritual stones and resources.
I'm afraid it's enough to support an entire force.
Yes, Su Mo has plans to establish his own power.
Mainly to save myself time.
As spiritual energy continues to recover, the social environment will definitely undergo tremendous changes in the future.
It is true that his strength has reached the extreme, but in Su Mo's opinion, there is still considerable room for improvement.
And on his path to pursue strength advancement, there will certainly be many obstacles and troubles.
Most of those obstacles and troubles are not big problems, at most they are stumbling blocks that can be solved with just a kick.
But the problem is that even lifting his feet takes a while. If he lifts his feet a few more times, his progress will be greatly delayed.
Therefore, a group of manpower is needed to help deal with these small troubles.
From the current perspective, these manpower are the Civil Security Bureau, the Magician Alliance and other forces.
Although these forces appear to be dedicated to completing the tasks he assigned.
But don't forget that they are external forces after all, and their core interests are their highest demands.
This also means that if his goal conflicts with the other party's core interests, there is no guarantee which side they will take.
But if it is a force that is loyal to itself and created by him, there will be no trouble in this regard.
After all, the vital interests of the members of his own force are firmly bound to him.
They wished he could become stronger.
The bigger the tree above them, the wider it can cast a wider shade to protect them.
And by then, it might also be able to speed up the completion of career tasks designated by the system.
Not to mention other things, if he had a powerful force now, he could order them to order takeout every day. Even if only one-tenth of the orders fell on him, it would still be a lot of odd numbers.
Not to mention that there are designated orders, and an entire force goes to explore various sinister places at night. I am afraid that his designated orders can be made according to needs.
Of course, establishing a force must not be that simple, especially since Su Mo didn't want to bring in all the good and bad guys. If he wanted to do it, he must set the threshold and standards.
As the strongest person in the world, he has enough capital to raise the recruitment standards.
However, his reputation has not spread yet and is only limited to a relatively small area, which is definitely not a good thing for recruiting people.
At least now, if he is asked to recruit new members together with the Civil Security Bureau, 90% of them will choose the Civil Security Bureau.
This is the power of reputation.
But Su Mo is not in a hurry about this. He can build up his power slowly and there is no need to do it all at once.
Besides, as the recovery of spiritual energy further deepens, his strength will probably be known to more people soon.
Just take it step by step steadily.
Su Mo retracted his thoughts and put away all the Du Ni Dan in the cauldron.
He then began to refine some other elixirs.
Not only to transform resources, but also to further hone his alchemy skills.
In this way, the night passed quietly.
In the morning, the crisp sound of Xiao Meng's reading came from the study. Su Mo opened the door and went straight to the first floor.
The aroma of food filled the living room.
When he came to the table and sat down, looking at the freshly baked food, he couldn't help but move his fingers.
Chewing down on those steaming delicacies, the fatigue from the night seemed to dissipate like the wind.
At the end, I was carrying a basket of steamed dumplings and eating them slowly.
After finishing her work, the hand girl took off her apron and came to the table, saying to Su Mo:
"I have re-optimized the small moving formation you gave me earlier."
"So fast?"
Su Mo couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
"It took so long, it's already considered slow."
The expression on the hand girl's face seemed a little dissatisfied, and she continued:
"According to your previous request, I focused on reducing the consumption of the formation and designed it in a miniaturized and simplified manner.
The improved small teleportation array has reduced the transmission distance from one hundred kilometers to eighty kilometers, but the energy consumption has been reduced to one-fifteenth of the original.
In addition, the layout is very simple. After optimization, the key nodes have been reduced from fifty-four to twenty-three. If modular assembly is carried out, even a practitioner who has a little understanding of the formation can complete it within ten minutes. Complete the formation arrangement. "
"hiss!"
When Su Mo heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.
In the trial space, with the help of studying the formations, he had completely mastered the layout method of the small movement formation.
But even so, he asked himself that there was no way he could optimize the formation.
It feels like a high school student memorizing the answers to a certain question type.
But when it comes to Hand Girl, the problem-solving process has been specially optimized by three times five times and two times.
The gap here is simply difficult to describe in numbers.
Su Mo felt more and more the horror of the hand girl's array talent.
However, when I thought about it, she might have been a talented disciple of the world's leading sect.
So it seems that it is not surprising that it can be achieved to this extent.
After all, without two brushes, how could one enter such a sect?
"Since the optimization has been completed ahead of schedule, let's go out and set up the formation today?"
Su Mo looked at the hand girl and asked seriously.
Before parting with Liang Pingfeng, he mentioned the city's plan to deploy formations.
In terms of his strength, he can reach all parts of the city as quickly as possible.
But he has a systematic delivery mission to deal with, and he can't be busy killing monsters all day long.
Instead, most of the important tasks of maintaining social stability depend on the Civil Security Bureau and other parties.
In this way, the speed with which the other party handles the incident becomes very critical.
There are observation rooms and various outposts, and they can monitor problems that arise everywhere in the shortest possible time.
And if it is equipped with a teleportation array, combat forces can be put in as quickly as possible, solve problems quickly, contain disasters, and reduce losses.
However, the original small mobile array was too expensive. Even the Civil Security Bureau could not use it without restrictions and simply could not afford it.
In addition, it is cumbersome to arrange and easy to be damaged, so special improvements are needed.
Now the hand girl has successfully changed the small moving formation into the formation he wanted.
Then, formations can be deployed throughout the city as agreed in advance.
It can be used for all kinds of disasters that come with the spiritual tide.
The hand girl listened to Su Mo's inquiry and nodded directly.
Su Mo didn't waste any more time. He made a phone call and contacted Yu Hongfei, the contact person specially arranged by the Civil Security Bureau.
Ten minutes later, Su Mo brought Hand Girl and Jiang Renchang to a branch of the Civil Security Bureau.
Glancing at Su Mo who was receiving resources, and then at the handmaiden standing quietly and solemnly at the side, Jiang Renchang couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart again.
In fact, he had met Hand Girl before and knew that this weirdo was a family member that Su Mo valued very much.
He was quite tolerant of the practice of keeping monsters at home without fear of backlash. After all, there were many similar things happening thousands of years ago.
For example, in the Vajra Sect back then, there was a sect elder who kept the remnant soul of his deceased wife at home, and it was once a good talk among the sect.
Therefore, Jiang Renchang never looked at the relationship between Su Mo and Hand Girl in a strange way.
Even because of Su Mo's attention, he already regarded Hand Girl as his mistress by default.
But that's all. What surprised Jiang Renchang was that Hand Girl's strength was almost at level 8. Even if he faced her head-on, he couldn't say he was sure of victory.
And the most important thing is that every time he wants to compete with the other party, he always senses some kind of creepy sense of crisis.
This shows that the opponent is not a simple level 8 monster, but there may be some other dangerous trump card hidden behind him.
Moreover, the ancient and mysterious meaning she sometimes revealed always made Jiang Renchang feel that the other person had existed longer than him.
This made Jiang Renchang completely put aside his underestimated mentality.
Today, this mentality has added a bit of calmness and shock.
Optimize the formation.
Even if it's just a small third-grade moving formation.
That's not something ordinary array masters can do.
According to what the formation master in the sect told him, optimizing formations is definitely not something that ordinary formation masters should get involved in.
Because the optimization of formations is often extremely time-consuming and resource-consuming, it is likely that countless efforts have been spent on research, only to end up in vain.
Moreover, there will be many unknown dangers during the optimization process. Once a certain array pattern is placed in the wrong place, the entire array may explode on the spot.
There were not a few array masters who died in these experiments in the past.
According to what the formation master said, only when the realm of formation reaches a certain level, for example, if a sixth-grade formation master optimizes a third-grade formation, there is a high probability of success.
Or you may have a unique talent for formations. There have been several peerless geniuses in formations in history. They were born with the ability to sense the energy flow of formations, and it only took a very short time to figure out the matching of formations. Errors and inconsistencies.
This kind of talent is something you can't even ask for.
And even if you enter those ordinary sects, if you don't get the most suitable training, it will be just a waste in the end.
Only by entering the most prosperous top sects can these talents be developed to the greatest extent, and eventually become the shining stars that cannot be bypassed in the history of the formation.
Now the performance of the hand girl reminded him of those past rumors.
However, Jiang Renchang also knew that the opponent was only optimizing a third-grade small moving formation. Although the performance was already amazing, it was still a little short of the peerless geniuses in history.
If you can get appropriate guidance in the future, you may be able to achieve some of the other party's achievements.
It's a pity that in today's era where everything is booming, how can it be so easy to find a suitable formation teacher?
Jiang Renchang shook his head. When he saw Su Mo waving to him, he walked forward and asked:
"Is this what I'm responsible for?"
Su Mo nodded and handed him a set of formation resources:
"There are a total of sixty-four formation nodes. You are responsible for the sixteen nodes in the west. Follow the locations marked on the map and contact me after the deployment is completed."
"simple."
Jiang Renchang laughed confidently. After taking the formation resources, he followed a member of the Civil Security Bureau and prepared to go to various places to set up small mobile formations.
Su Mo then looked at the hand girl:
"Except for the east side of the Civil Security Bureau and the west side of Jiang Renchang, we have to take action on the north and south sides. Let's go home after completing the deployment as soon as possible.
Although Xiaomeng is accompanied by my clone, she seems to prefer you at home. "
Su Mo shrugged, feeling helpless.
The hand girl pursed her lips and smiled.
Without wasting any more time, the group headed towards their designated locations.
