In the courtyard.
The three of them cupped their hands at Chen Daoxuan and prepared to leave.
Chen Daoxuan stopped Chen Daochu.
Seeing this.
Chen Dailian left with Chen Fusheng.
He watched the two leave.
Chen Daochu scratched his head and couldn’t help but say,””Young Clan Leader, do you have any important mission for me to do?”
As he spoke.
He showed an eager expression.
“I have an important task for you.” Chen Daoxuan smiled.”
After saying that, his expression became serious.
“I found a problem in the exchange jade slip of the Qianyuan Sword Sect.”
He paused for a moment.” Whether it’s in the auction house of Guang ‘an Prefecture or in the exchange jade slips of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, offensive magical equipment inheritance is very common, but defensive spiritual armor inheritance is very rare.
Do you know what this means?”
After saying that, he looked at Chen Daochu with a meaningful look.
Chen Daochu didn’t understand the meaning behind Chen Daoxuan’s words and said stiffly,””! don’t know.”
“How big do you think the difference in strength is between wearing the ling armor and before?” Chen Daoxuan sighed.”
Hearing this.
Chen Daochu frowned and thought about it carefully.””The difference in strength is huge. It can even be said to be the difference between heaven and earth!”
“That’s right.”
Chen Daoxuan looked at the scenery outside the courtyard and said faintly,” Even when I was in the Qi Condensation stage, I would probably be defeated and flee when faced with a group of Qi Condensation cultivators wearing ling armor.
Even now, I’m being surrounded by a group of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators wearing high-grade Level Two spiritual armor. I’m still at risk of being defeated and fleeing.”
“How could that be?”
Chen Daochu looked at Chen Daoxuan in shock, unable to believe what he was saying.
In his eyes, Chen Daoxuan was a sword cultivator, and his strength was absolutely the best among his peers.
Such a sword cultivator actually said that a group of cultivators of the same level could pose a threat to him if they wore ling armor.
This was obviously a huge blow to Chen Daochu’s worldview.
But then he remembered that after he wore a first-tier superior-grade natal spiritual armor, he could withstand the attacks of ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators with his cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refinement, which was close to perfection.
Then, he felt relieved.
Compared to flying swords, spiritual armor could indeed affect the balance of power.
Therefore, in the exchange jade slip of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, there was no inheritance of high-grade spiritual armor.
In fact, Chen Daoxuan could tell from the exchange jade slips of the Qianyuan Sword Sect that the Qianyuan Sword Sect’s policy was to suppress the big families and support the itinerant cultivators.
This point.
All the big families in the Infinite Star Sea could probably see it.
This was also the reason why the major families did not dare to act rashly under the rule of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
Once a core strategic skill like the crafting of high-grade ling armor was passed down to a large family, it would increase the strength of the family in an extremely short period of time.
A group of cultivators wearing ling armor and a group of naked cultivators holding offensive magic tools were completely different concepts.
Even if the Qian Yuan Sword Sect was not afraid of the power of the other party, the expansion of the power of the big family was always a kind of trouble for it.
The Qian Yuan Sword Sect had to be on guard against this kind of trouble.
Of course.
Although ling armor was good, the price was also quite touching. Usually, even in large families, only the most elite disciples were qualified to wear ling armor.
Just like the Zhou family and the Wu family.
Only the most elite of the family would have ling armor on them.
However, even the Zhou and Wu families only had a Grade Two Upper Spiritual Armor Inheritance.
Did the Zhou Clan lack spirit stones or battle credits?
Of course not!
This was the reason why the Qianyuan Sword Sect deliberately controlled the refining technology of ling armor.
The Qianyuan Sword Sect was strictly controlling not only the refining of spiritual armor, but also the war-type magical equipment such as the Spirit Void Battleship.
The Spiritual Void Battleship of the Zhou Family was given to them by the previous Sect Master after they had made great contributions to the unification of the Infinite Star Sea by the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
However, after that…
There was no longer any family in the Infinite Star Sea that had obtained the refining method of a war instrument like the Spiritual Void Battleship.
Even the Zhou Family had only accumulated less than a hundred Spirit Void Battleships in the past thousand years.
It was clear how precious this kind of war magic tool was.
The effect of a war magic tool might not be obvious when dealing with a single cultivator, but on a vast battlefield, it was simply a god-like existence.
For example, the frontline of the Yun Nation.
The Profound Pure Dao League had used a large number of puppet beasts as cannon fodder to exhaust the cultivators of the Infinite Star Sea.
Facing this kind of cannon fodder, the war weapon was the best weapon to clear the battlefield.
In fact, during the battle between Guang ‘an Prefecture and Lotus Island, the Sun brothers did not choose to attack the four city passes on a large scale, except for the threat of Zhou Mubai, that perverted sword cultivator.
The Zhou Family’s Spirit Void Battleship was also the reason why they were so fearful.
Once this kind of magic tool was used on a large scale battlefield, it would have the effect of sweeping away everything.
Other than the fact that cultivators were fast and agile, they were not easily locked onto by these war artifacts.
The puppets of Qianji Palace and the zombie tide in Guang ‘an Prefecture would be the living targets of the war magical equipment once they gathered on a large scale.
There would not be any specific refining inheritance for this kind of war magic tool.
Of course.
The Qian Yuan Sword Sect was still willing to exchange for specific magic weapons with their battle merits, but there were also restrictions.
However, the loose loose loose loose practitioner had no restrictions on the loose practitioner.
When a rogue cultivator was alone, they would usually only exchange for one ling armor or war magic tool.
There were no restrictions on this exchange.
The move of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect restricted the Zhou Family and the Ye Family.
In the exchange inheritance of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, things that could really increase the family’s foundation, especially the big family’s foundation, were generally not available.
High grade ling armor inheritances were among them.
The inheritance of large-scale war artifacts was also among them.
This kind of thing was related to the foundation of a cultivation force. It was much stricter than the exchange of cultivation techniques.
Chen Daoxuan rummaged through all the artifact refining inheritances.
He had only managed to find a grade two ling armor refinement inheritance, and the battle merits required were extremely high.
In any case, the Chen family’s war power was not enough to exchange for it.
In the courtyard.
After hearing Chen Daoxuan’s explanation, Chen Daochu immediately understood that the Young Clan Leader’s plan was far-reaching.
He nodded.” When our Chen Clan cultivators reach the Foundation
Establishment stage, the current level one ling armor will naturally not be able to keep up with the cultivation speed.”
Even though many Foundation Establishment Cultivators didn’t even have Level One Spirit Armor, it didn’t stop the Chen Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators from despising Level One Spirit Armor.
“Exactly.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded. Now that there are more and more cultivators in my Chen family, in the future, other than most of them going to work in the factories, the military 1 planned for the Chen family back then will definitely be established.”
He paused for a moment.” In my vision, from now on, the cultivators of the Chen family and the military will be completely separated from the cultivators in charge of production.
The cultivators of the Military Department only had one goal, and that was to do everything possible to improve their own strength in order to protect the safety of their families.
As you know, a cultivator’s strength is not only affected by their own cultivation, Dharma spells, Sword Dao, and other realms, but also affected by external items such as magic tools.
Moreover, it has a huge impact!”
Hearing this.
Chen Daochu nodded. As an Armament Master, he knew this very well.
For two cultivators with the same cultivation base and similar magic techniques, magic tools could even be said to be the only factor that affected the outcome of the battle.
Among them, the ling armor was the biggest factor.
If one of the two late-stage Aura Refining cultivators had reached the perfection of the first-tier sword technique, and the other was only at the ordinary level of perfection, he would have a first-tier superior-grade spiritual armor.
The outcome of the battle was self-evident.
The Aura Refining cultivator with a superior-grade first-level ling armor would definitely be better.
This was because a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator who had reached the peak of the first-stage sword technique couldn’t even break through the defense of a cultivator with the same cultivation level.
What suspense could there be in such a battle?
Although the situation was different when a cultivator reached a higher level.
However, there was no doubt that the increase in the strength of a cultivator was too terrifying.
It could be said to be the best of all types of magic tools.
It was no wonder that the Qianyuan Sword Sect would deliberately restrict such an inheritance.
If there were no restrictions, with the financial resources of the big families in the Infinite Star Sea, they could make all the elite monks in the family wear high-level spiritual armor in minutes. By then, the strength of the big families would increase by a terrifying amount.
Moreover, compared to a bunch of loose cultivators, it was easier for the big families to form an alliance and threaten the rule of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
As long as the higher-ups of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect were clear-headed, they would be wary of this.
“Therefore, I want to establish a magic tool research institute right now. It will be responsible for researching all kinds of magic tools.”
” Magical Artifact Research Institute?”
Chen Daochu wasn’t surprised by the new term mentioned by the young clan leader, but he was curious about the difference between this so-called magical equipment research institute and the magical equipment factory.
Hearing Chen Daochu’s question.
“Of course there are differences,” explained Chen Daoxuan.
You should know about the two magic tools that I created, the Harmonious Spirit Stove and the centrifugal wall breaker, right?”
Chen Daochu nodded.
“From now on, your Institute of Magic Artifacts will be doing this job. You will specialize in researching new types of magic artifacts, especially the special magic artifacts that my Chen family needs.”
“All!”
Hearing this, Chen Daochu’s jaw dropped.
He was only a second tier Armament Master, but Chen Daoxuan wanted him to create a new type of magic tool. He really wanted to say, Young Clan Leader, you are really making things difficult for me.
However, seeing Chen Daoxuan’s serious gaze, he couldn’t say this at all.
Looking at his expression, how could Chen Daoxuan, who had brought him up, not know what he was thinking?
Then he said angrily,”You’ve forgotten, your current refining talent is the same as before?” With such a huge improvement in his talent in artifact crafting, did he not even have this bit of confidence?”
“When did I…”
Before Chen Daochu could finish his sentence, he suddenly thought of something and his face lit up.
Immediately, he was so excited that he said incoherently,”This is feasible! This move was feasible! If a genius like me had a bit more, this Magical Equipment Research Institute would definitely be able to create one!”
Chen Daoxuan couldn’t look straight at him bragging without blushing.
“Alright, stop talking nonsense. You’ve always been the teacher of the magical equipment class. Pick a group of reliable cultivators with a certain amount of talent in refining weapons.
First, build up the foundation of this magical equipment research institute.”
