Chapter 114 Chen's Comprehensive Upgrade

……

Just as Chen Xuanmo was sighing.

The work of the Taiyue construction team came to a temporary halt, and they began to gather together to rest. They took out the prepared Lingmai steamed buns and Ling pickles from their storage bags and prepared to eat.

The price that Chen paid for the Five Elements Formation was not cheap, and in theory, it covered all the expenses.

The Taiyue Peak construction team also received construction tasks from the sect. After completing the tasks, they can receive corresponding merits and contribution points from the sect.

In order to prevent extortion and deliberate embarrassment to local families, the sect also has regulations requiring construction teams stationed in local areas to provide their own food and even their own portable caves for accommodation, and they are not allowed to make various demands on local families.

The fellow disciples at Taiyue Peak had long been accustomed to this mode of operation, so they naturally brought dry food with them.

Master Taiyue was no exception. He took out his dry food, found a stone, and sat down to prepare for his meal. He did not have the arrogance of Master Jindan at all.

However, they had just sat down.

Chen Ningtai, the current head of the Chen family, came with his family members and servants, offering loads of fresh spiritual rice, spiritual meat, spiritual fish, spiritual fruit, spiritual wine and other foods.

The aroma of food immediately filled the entire construction site.

The disciples of Taiyue Peak were attracted by their actions. They looked at the food and then at the steamed buns in their hands. Suddenly, they felt that the steamed buns were a little difficult to swallow.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Taiyue." Chen Ningtai walked up to Master Taiyue and bowed to her with a very respectful and polite attitude. "These are all from me, the younger generation, to you and all the fellow disciples."

The eyes of the disciples at Taiyue Peak lit up, and they immediately looked towards their master, Master Taiyue.

Although they were very greedy, they didn't dare to start eating without Master Taiyue's approval.

"Since it's the host's intention, let's eat it." Master Taiyue took the initiative to take a gourd of spiritual wine, raised his head and drank a few gulps, praising, "Good wine, thank you for the hospitality, Master Ningtai."

With the master taking the lead, all the disciples of Taiyue Peak immediately clasped their fists towards Chen Ningtai to express their gratitude, then put away the spiritual wheat buns that they had only eaten to fill their stomachs, picked up the food and started eating.

Most of these disciples followed the path of earth-based body training, and they all had huge appetites. Fortunately, Chen Ningtai prepared enough food, so they could eat as much as they wanted.

Seeing this, Chen Ningtai's mouth twitched slightly.

He had heard before that the disciples of Taiyue Peak were big eaters, and that one person could eat as much as ten people. He didn't quite believe it at first, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he found that the rumor was actually a conservative estimate.

Moreover, he heard that among the thirteen branches of the Yunyang Sect, Taiyue Peak was the poorest.

Although they can earn merits by going out to work and exchange them for resources, the entire Taiyue Peak, whether it is the core disciples who practice the Qi Refining Chapter of the Orthodox Method, or the disciples who build the foundation, and even Master Taiyue himself, are too greedy!

The entire Taiyue Peak is actually in a tight state of tightening the belt.

However, these Taiyue Peak disciples all have very honest personalities. They are not as cold and majestic as the Law Enforcement Hall disciples, nor as arrogant as the Merit Hall disciples.

Chen Ningtai still remembered that the last time he invited Master Jin Guang to visit his home, he was rejected with a distant attitude.

"Senior Taiyue." Seeing the other party's friendly attitude, Chen Ningtai began to take advantage of the situation and personally handed over a heavy food box. "Senior is a Jindan cultivator. I'm afraid you won't be full with these ordinary spiritual rice. I have prepared some third-grade [Jade Fat Spiritual Rice] and some fresh third-grade [Blue Flag Fierce Pig] sashimi for you."

Master Taiyue's eyes lit up slightly, and without refusing, he reached out to take the big food box and opened it to eat.

After taking a few bites of the fish, she nodded with satisfaction: "This Blue Flag Fierce Pig has delicate meat, rich in spiritual power and nutrition, and most importantly, it is very fresh. Good! Very good."

How can it not be fresh?
Chen Ningtai couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

This blue-flag dolphin was killed by Yu Ling, Lei Man, and Chen Ningtai in the East China Sea. They bled it and chilled it on the spot, then immediately dragged it back and hidden in the ice cellar to keep its fresh taste.

This kind of blue-flag dolphin is not only rare, but also extremely fast. It requires Yu Ling to act as bait, Lei Eel to ambush, and Chen Ningtai to attack first to kill it.

The purpose, of course, is to curry favor with Master Taiyue.

In such a vast world of cultivating immortals, it is not easy to find a superior person who can be won over by offering food.

"Not bad."

Master Taiyue praised the dish as he spoke, and quickly finished a box of fish sashimi.

After returning the lunch box, she couldn't help licking her lips with her tongue, as if she was still a little unsatisfied.

"Thank you, Patriarch Ningtai, for the hospitality."

"If you like it, senior, Ningtai will send you one every day." Chen Ningtai took the opportunity to continue to curry favor.

"Hmm?" Master Taiyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Ningtai thoughtfully and said, "Master Ningtai, you are trying so hard to please me, don't you have other intentions?"

"Cough cough!" Chen Ningtai was so scared that he coughed repeatedly, "Senior, cough cough..."

"Although you look good, you look a bit old, like an old white-faced man." Master Taiyue looked him up and down, and suddenly, patted him on the shoulder.

"Snapped!"

Chen Ningtai staggered and fell to the ground as if he was hit by an ancient monster. The blood in his body was surging, and it seemed as if all the bones in his body were falling apart.

He was shocked.

How terrifying is the power of Master Taiyue?
Fortunately, he was practicing the Jin Yuan Body Tempering Technique, which greatly improved his physique. If he had practiced the Jin Ling Qi Yuan Jue, he would have been beaten to death right away, right?
"Huh? You're not weak, you should practice more when you get back." Master Taiyue was slightly surprised for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Starting tomorrow, I want double the amount of spiritual rice and fish sashimi, no, triple the amount!"

Before Chen Ningtai could be surprised, Master Taiyue turned around and clapped his hands, saying, "Young men, you have eaten enough and drunk enough. Get up and work, and don't let the host down."

"Oh oh oh~"

A group of Taiyue Peak disciples immediately stood up and started working, shouting.

Chen Ningtai lay on the ground, looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The task given by my father to curry favor with Master Taiyue is really extremely difficult. Will I really not be slapped to death by her like this every day?

****
Before I knew it, several days had passed.

Chen Ningzhuo rushed back from the sect again, and this time he brought back some inner disciples from the Weapon Refining Hall.

Because of Chen Shiyun's relationship, these disciples of the Weapon Refining Hall had already regarded Chen as one of their own and started working as soon as they arrived.

They arrived at the Qingyu Cliff, floated the medium-sized spirit boat Xuanmo into the air, and built a dock underneath. After the Xuanmo landed in the dock again and was lifted up, they began the transformation and upgrading project of the Xuanmo.

The last time the Xuanmo participated in actual combat, it exposed many shortcomings. Coincidentally, after exchanging the Five Elements Formation this time, Chen still had a lot of merit and contribution points left. Chen Xuanmo felt it necessary to upgrade his own vehicle [Xuanmo] to make up for its shortcomings and strengthen its strengths.

The first is the speed shortcoming.

The normal cruising speed of the Xuanmo is between 800 and 1,000 mph. Not counting the energy consumption, the speed can increase to 1,500 mph in a short period of time.

This speed sounds fast, but it is still far from the speed of two thousand miles per hour that a Jindan cultivator can reach when he explodes. Even a Jindan cultivator with short legs like Master Taiyue is much faster than the Xuanmohao.

Of course, it is impossible for a Jindan cultivator to be in the explosive state all the time. After all, the huge consumption of mana during the explosion is not fake. But even so, as long as they can catch up with the Xuanmo in a short period of time, they can destroy the Xuanmo!

That's right.

After encountering the Blood Soul Envoy, Chen Xuanmo subconsciously raised the enemy's strength to the Golden Core level when he anticipated the enemy!
Chen Xuanmo didn't think about killing the Jindan cultivator. He just hoped that if he was chased by a Jindan cultivator, he would have a chance to escape with his life.

When it comes to escaping, speed is naturally the first priority.

"Miss Qianqian." A disciple from the inner sect of the Weapon Refining Hall said respectfully, "This is the schematic diagram of the reinforcing ribs of the endoskeleton that was redesigned according to your request, as well as the installation location of the dual acceleration formation system."

The disciples in the Equipment Refining Hall all respect Wang Qianqian very much. Not only is she the mother of Junior Sister Shi Yan, but she is also a powerful person who can crush Senior Brother Yun Hao in equipment refining competition. She is definitely a powerful person who is proficient in equipment refining.

Wang Qianqian carefully looked at the blueprints, asked a few key questions, and then smiled and said, "Brother Ziyan is indeed a professional in the field of spiritual boats. The design and layout of the two acceleration formations are amazing. I'll trouble you, Brother Ziyan, to work on this acceleration system."

Her expertise in weapon refining is mainly in puppets, and she can also dabble in forging spiritual weapons. As for spiritual boats, she can still repair small ordinary spiritual boats, but when it comes to more complex and high-end spiritual boats, her professionalism is not as good as that of professional disciples in this area.

The art of refining equipment is profound and mysterious, and many aspects need to be combined with rune structures and formation systems. Even a genius like Wang Qianqian cannot be comprehensive and proficient in everything.

After being praised, Senior Brother Zi Yan felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

In order to meet the design requirements put forward by Chen, he had put in a lot of effort and had countless white hairs. If it were any other foundation-building family that dared to make such a request, they would probably be scolded out by him.

Meritorious service, is it great to have meritorious service? The design of the Spirit Boat is already very perfect, how easy is it to add a speed-up formation? Not to mention adding two sets.

Not to mention the difficulties such as cramped space and difficult layout, the bearing capacity of the spirit boat alone is a big problem.

According to their calculations, the pressure on the hull after acceleration will definitely exceed the limit of the medium-grade spirit boat. If the spirit boat cannot withstand it and falls apart directly after the acceleration formation is activated, wouldn't it be a joke~
Therefore, the first step of the transformation is to redesign the keel reinforcement system.

"Don't worry, Miss Qianqian. I promise to complete the transformation mission." Senior Brother Zi Yan patted his chest excitedly and issued a military order.

Wang Qianqian encouraged him a few more words.

soon.

Another burly disciple from the Weapon Refining Hall came over, scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Miss Qianqian, I have already prepared the phantom coating you mentioned, but I still don't understand a few technical points..."

"Brother Lushan..." Wang Qianqian said with a smile, "I worked hard to come up with this coating formula. If you want to learn it... hehe, I'll give you ten merits and thirty thousand contribution points, and you have to swear not to tell anyone else about it."

She knew that Brother Lushan might look simple-minded on the surface, but he was actually very shrewd. He just thought that this phantom coating was useful and magical, and it even had the effect of deflecting spiritual detection, so he pretended to want to get the formula.

Senior Brother Lushan's face suddenly turned dark, and he smiled awkwardly: "Miss Qianqian, you are joking. I don't have so many merits. You are busy, I will go to work."

This phantom coating is naturally the next improvement that Chen Xuanmo wants.

The last time the Xuan Mo attacked the Blood Soul Cult's lair, they were discovered by the other party in advance. Later, after interrogation, they learned that the Blood Soul Cult mastered a secret technique called [Blood Evil Eye], and its principle is somewhat similar to the spiritual detection of cultivators.

This reminded Chen Xuanmo of the radar in the world before he traveled through time.

Since there are means similar to radar detection such as the Blood Evil Eye and spiritual detection in this world, is there something similar to a "stealth coating" that can fight against the Blood Evil Eye and spiritual detection?

You have to know that this is a world of cultivating immortals. There is even a small Sumeru formation that distorts space. There are also many various magical materials with spiritual properties. This idea may not be impossible.

But materials science has always been hailed as metaphysics. It is a subject that requires constant permutations, combinations, and trial and error. If you are lucky, you will make a lot of money, but if you are unlucky, it will be a bottomless pit.

But Chen Xuanmo's purple energy is the magical energy that can expand the effect of luck, so the least thing he has to worry about is luck.

Therefore, Chen Xuanmo ordered Wang Qianqian to start developing the stealth coating.

Wang Qianqian, who has always been keen on sneak attacks, seemed to have had a similar idea a long time ago. The old and the young hit it off immediately, and the R&D project was quickly approved and entered the research and development stage.

As a wealthy woman, Wang Qianqian already has an independent laboratory and is keen on collecting various materials. She got inspiration from a spirit insect called "Phantom Butterfly" and began to imitate the coating structure on its wings.

Chen Xuanmo continued to bless her with purple marks to provide her with luck bonus.

Finally, after thirteen purple marks exploded in succession, Wang Qianqian found a feasible route among countless permutations and combinations, and successfully developed a coating that can absorb distorted light and deflect spiritual detection, which she named [Phantom Coating].

Maybe the formula of this phantom coating is not the most perfect one, but it is enough for the current Xuanmo. Chen Xuanmo’s goal is not to completely avoid detection by means of vision, spiritual consciousness, etc., but to be much better than "naked running".

"Miss Qianqian, please take a look at the construction drawings and craftsmanship of this fifth-level earth dragon leather armor." Another senior brother came to ask questions.

Chen Xuanmo proposed the requirement to strengthen the defense capability of the Xuanmo's hull, but the hull of the medium-sized spirit boat had already been formed and the material could not be changed, so they could only make changes to the surface of the hull.

In order to minimize the impact on the speed of the spirit boat, several brothers from the Equipment Refining Hall discussed and decided to modify some key parts to enhance the defense. They also used tanned high-defense spirit beast skins as the skin to improve the overall defense.

As they were talking, another senior brother came over to ask, "Miss Qianqian, the Seven-Star Sword Array Sacrifice Platform on our Spiritual Boat has a limited upgrade limit from its original design. After repeated calculations, I found that with one high-grade spiritual sword already in hand, this sacrificial sword platform can only accommodate six mid-grade spiritual swords at most. Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain the nourishment and charging of the spiritual swords!"

This was another request made by Chen Xuanmo.

Originally, he wanted to replace all seven spirit swords on the sword sacrifice array with top-grade spirit swords, but the price of so many top-grade spirit swords was beyond the reach of even the current Chen family, so he could only settle for the second best and replace all of them, except the Shura Demon Sword, with mid-grade spirit swords.

Even so, it is a huge expense.

"Miss Qianqian..."

"Miss Qianqian..."

As the chief commander of the Xuanmo renovation and upgrade project, Wang Qianqian is very busy with disciples from the Weapon Refining Hall constantly coming and going around her.

Under her central command and coordination, the transformation and upgrading process of the Xuanmo went very smoothly and the project has been progressing steadily.

Chen Xuanmo was watching from the side, his heart filled with satisfaction and security. The only thing that made him feel heartbroken was the merits, contribution points, and spirit stones that were flowing out!

Especially the Five Elements Formation, which is simply a "gold-eating beast" that requires one hundred mid-grade spirit stones just to activate it.

In order to ensure safety and security, Chen must reserve a large amount of five-element medium-grade spirit stones to avoid running out of spirit stones at critical moments.

As for where these five elements mid-grade spirit stones come from, they are naturally exchanged from the sect.

After all this trouble, the little fortune that Chen had saved with great difficulty was gone in an instant.

Of course, even though Chen Xuanmo felt bad, he still had to spend the money. Whether it was merits or spirit stones, they had to be spent and transformed into real strength to be valuable.

In this world of cultivation, strength is the only thing that matters.

As for money, after defeating the Blood Soul Cult's lair at the bottom of the sea, Chen will have money again.

In addition, the nephrite mines are being hyped recently, and they can make some money from the Cui family in Hedong to cover some of the expenses.

Seeing his family growing and developing rapidly, Chen Xuanmo felt very pleased.

Seeing that everything was progressing in an orderly manner and he was no longer needed anywhere, he was unwilling to waste any more purple energy and fell into a deep sleep.

I hope that when I wake up next time, I can see my rebellious son Zhong Li Ye again.

however.

This time, what Chen Xuanmo was waiting for was not the familiar, rambling recitation of the sacrificial text, but Chen Ningtai's urgent call filled with nervousness.

"Father, Father, please show up soon. Something has happened. It's a big problem!"

problem occurs? !

Chen Xuanmo woke up suddenly, and his confused consciousness disappeared instantly.

Although there are not many such abnormal awakenings, each one is a big deal.

Could it be that the Blood Soul Cult discovered that the Chen family was secretly plotting against them and repeatedly ruining their plans, so they directly sent a group of Blood Soul Envoys to launch a surprise attack and wipe out the Chen family?
What date is it now?
Is the five elements formation at home completed?

It would be best if it is not completed yet, then Master Taiyue should still be in Chen's house.

Is the upgrade project of my Xuanmo completed?

A series of thoughts flashed through Chen Xuanmo's mind, but he quickly calmed down.

The world does not revolve around Chen. Everyone has his or her own stance and ideas. Plans cannot keep up with changes, and it is common for accidents to come earlier than surprises!

The most urgent task is to understand the situation and then find a way to deal with it.

The Xuan Mo Spirit Sword trembled slightly, announcing its awakening to Chen Ningtai.

Chen Ningtai suddenly seemed to have grasped the root of the problem, and his voice became a little more relaxed.

"Father, the Cui Clan of Hedong sent a flying talisman asking for help, saying that they were attacked by the Blood Soul Cult! They hope that our Chen Clan can go to rescue them."

"The Cui family was attacked?"

This sudden and unexpected change made Chen Xuanmo stunned for a moment.

The worst case scenario he imagined was that a group of blood souls attacked the Chen family, so there was a possibility of a battle regardless of whether the Five Elements Formation was completed or not.

But attacking Cui? What kind of development is this?

As a Jindan noble family, what did the Cui family do to provoke an attack from the Blood Soul Cult?
