The martial arts immortals in the modern world

“Set the controversy aside.”

Yaoguang knew the meaning of these words.

Just give up for now.

East China Sea Islands...

Hundreds of islands have already been forced to put aside disputes.

If this trend continues, the Jiuding Sect's recovery of the East China Sea Islands may be far away.

However, he could also tell which one was more important: an island located at a spiritual power node and equipped with a fourth-level spirit gathering array, or an island that could only open up a thousand-mile territorial sea.

Jiuding Sect...

Want to inherit the original Qi Sect's territory.

But Qi Sect was one of the top ten Immortal Sects at that time, so it was so powerful.

The Jiuding Sect had to occupy the territory of the Qi Sect in name only, and it was not strong enough. Naturally, it felt like it was surrounded by enemies on all sides and found it difficult to move forward.

If there are no accidents, the East China Sea Islands will be lost, the Hundred Thousand Mountains will be lost, and even some coastal and southern territories will be lost.

It will not be truly stable until the Jiuding Sect's territory is reduced to the point where they can completely hold it with their current strength.

Fortunately, there is a golden elixir in the Jiuding Sect. No one from the surrounding sects, including within the Jiuding Sect, dares to stir up trouble in the sect and undermine stability.

Change to another sect...

Someone has long supported another group or even several other forces within his sect, causing it to fall into turmoil, civil strife, and split.

"This time the Jiuding Sect mobilized a large number of troops to fight around Posao Island. All the sects in the East China Sea Islands are watching. If not even one Xuanming Sect can suppress it, the other sects will probably laugh at it, and even more so. Push your limits.”

Yaoguang said.

"In the East China Sea, the only opponent that poses a real fatal threat to us is the Great Sun Sword Sect. No matter how happy other forces are, they can only take advantage of it, and it is difficult to create any real waves."

Zhang Jianlin said with a pause: "So, the threat of the Great Sun Sword Sect... is above all else. Others must be let go."

"That's the case. If the Jiuding Sect doesn't show its tough attitude all the time, once a situation becomes full of wolves and tigers, even if the Great Sun Sword Sect is defeated, the Jiuding Sect may not be able to withstand it."

Yaoguang said.

Zhang Jianlin shook his head and was about to end the topic, but for a moment, he seemed to realize something and his heart moved: "What do you want to say?"

"Isn't it still a month before the Great Sun Sword Sect starts training?"

Yaoguang smiled: "Perhaps, we can resolve the dispute between Xuanming Sect and Posao Island before the Great Sun Sword Sect's drill begins."

"Destroy the Xuanming Sect before the Great Sun Sword Sect drill begins?"

Zhang Jianlin was startled and then said: "You mean the great sword cultivators of the sect came out in full force?"

He immediately shook his head: "This is unrealistic. There are too many directions that Jiuding Sect needs to defend, and there are not many swordsmanship and martial arts practitioners that can really be mobilized. And once we are dragged down by Xuanming Sect and fall into the quagmire, we will At this time, all the surrounding sects will be ready to take action, even the Wuji Star Palace, which may not have originally regarded us as the first target of hunting, will come over to take a share of the pie. "

"Not so."

Yaoguang took out several jade talismans directly on the operating table, put them in a box and handed them to Zhang Jianlin: "Go and show it to Palace Master Zhao. It's best to have Palace Master Zhao take it to the main sect. Maybe this can prompt them to come down." Decide."

"This is……"

Zhang Jianlin took the box and looked at him puzzled.

"An improved version of Zixiao's Twelve Flying Swords."

Yaoguang said.

"Improved model!?"

Zhang Jianlin's eyes narrowed: "So fast!? You...finished it!? Didn't Master Wei Yan and Master Lu Yuan say that they are still close to the progress?"

"This is another version that I completed independently. Due to obvious flaws, I did not take it out. However, if the sect is willing to make up its mind and provide enough Yuanshen realm monks as backup, the flaws can be turned into advantage."

Yaoguang smiled.

"I'll take it right away."

Zhang Jianlin said solemnly.

"If the higher authorities can even pass my obviously flawed plan... I will need to apply for a large amount of funding."

Yaoguang said seriously: "Perhaps, in the process of constantly refining these flying swords, I can further optimize them and transform them into magic weapon-level flying swords."

"magic weapon!?"

Zhang Jianlin took a breath of air: "You...can challenge the master of weapon refining?"

"I've only studied this series a little bit, so I'm just an eccentric swordsman, incomparable to a true master of weapon refining."

Yaoguang waved his hand.

The title of Master of Weapon Refining...

Too big.

In alchemy, weapon refining, and formations, every person who has reached the master level in their respective fields is called the mainstay of the sect.

There will even be at least one great monk assigned as a bodyguard for personal protection.

The reason why the great monk should be guarded personally...

It's because such talents are the targets of other forces' efforts to win over and instigate rebellion.

Once they are unable to win over and instigate rebellion, they will be ruthlessly assassinated by hostile forces.

Especially those who are top masters and unparalleled national warriors are probably surrounded by a small team of high monks for personal protection.

Therefore, Yaoguang did not want to bear the title of master of weapon refining too early.

The danger will increase geometrically.

"No matter whether you are a deviant swordsman or not, as long as you can refine a magic weapon-level flying sword, you are a master of weapon refining!"

Zhang Jianlin spoke eloquently.

"Whether it can be practiced is still unknown."

Yaoguang waved his hand.

"As long as you see a little hope, the sect will give you undivided support."

Zhang Jianlin said seriously: "The sect...is so short of such top talents!"

Yao Guang understands this.

So far, the Jiuding Sect does not have the ability to refine the second-generation magic weapon Flying Sword.

The few second-generation magic weapons were all purchased from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect with huge sums of money.

The price can easily reach hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

But even if the Jiuding Sect knew that the other party's price was horribly high, they still could only hold their noses and admit it.

Because, except for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, other sects would not sell strategic materials such as the second-generation magic weapon Flying Sword to the Jiuding Sect.

At this time, Zhang Jianlin also realized something, and immediately said: "Yes! You are indeed a deviant swordsman... you are still far from a true master of weapon refining..."

As he said that, he felt that this statement was wrong and immediately changed his words: "No, no, I'm not saying that you can't become a master of weapon refining, but..."

"I know."

Yaoguang replied.

Zhang Jianlin looked at Yaoguang and saw the sincerity in his expression. He suddenly felt a little sour in his eyes. After a while, he said with a hint of concentration: "Our Jiuding Sect... has only been established for more than eighty years, and there is a lot of waste to be done. , but we are surrounded by wolves, and every family is waiting to take a bite of our flesh, carving us up like the Liusha Cult. In the past sixteen years, what kind of life have the people of the Liusha Cult led? I also know that let alone cultivation, they cannot even provide basic food and clothing..."

He controlled his emotions: "We know that the Xuanming Sect is going to fight, the Ancient Immortal Sect is going to fight, the Xinghai Sect is going to fight, and the Great Sun Sword Sect is going to fight. If we don't fight, our days will only get harder and harder in the future. , but... we lack too many things. Everything in the Qi Sect was crippled and destroyed by the invasion of the Moon Demon Empire. If Sect Master Li hadn't saved the Jiuding Sect's vitality at the critical moment, our The situation is not much better than that of the Quicksand Cult..."

Fluctlight didn't say anything.

I don’t know what to say.

Fortunately, Zhang Jianlin only lost his composure temporarily because of the news that Yaoguang was expected to become a "Master of Weapon Refining", and he quickly recovered.

He solemnly promised Yaoguang: "If you have really touched the field of refining magic weapons, the Jiuding Sect will spare no effort to support you in taking that step! You will get everything you want!"

Yaoguang nodded: "I'm waiting for your good news."

…

Zhang Jianlin left with information about the Zixiao Twelve Improved Flying Swords.

In the room, Yaoguang slowly uttered two words.

"magic weapon."

This represents the true top level of the world's equipment.

Especially for sword cultivators who rely heavily on their natal flying sword, the strength of a natal flying sword really has a great impact on their strength.

The reason why the Jiuding Sect claims to be second only to the six Immortal Sects is because the number of great monks among them is not as large as that of the Great Sun Sword Sect, Shouyang Sect, Taiyi Sect, Tianyi Sect, and Shenghuo Sect, which are also large sects. How many fewer doors.

but……

The Qi Sect was so completely destroyed by the Moon Demon Empire that it was truly in ruins.

The elixirs, magic weapons, flying swords, and formations are all at a backward level in the world.

When the low-grade and mid-grade magic weapons flying swords of the Great Sun Sword Sect and other sects have been developed to the third generation, and the high-grade magic weapons flying swords have also been developed to the second generation, the Jiuding Sect does not even have the ability to produce high-grade magic weapons.

Furthermore, because there are not enough top-notch elixirs, the great monks of the Jiuding Sect are somewhat "malnourished", and the quality is somewhat worse than that of other major sects.

The probability of other major sects building a foundation is 20% to 30%, but the Jiuding Sect only has a probability of around 10%.

In this case, when other sects faced off against the great monks of the Jiuding Sect, they could often fight one against two, or even one against three.

The most important thing is that with a somewhat extreme profession like sword cultivator, a slight advantage can bring the battle loss ratio of both sides to an extremely astonishing number.

Twenty years ago, the Jiuding Sect and the Great Sun Sword Sect each sent forty sword cultivators to practice in the East China Sea. In the end...

40:7!

The Great Sun Sword Sect wiped out the Jiuding Sect's drill team at the cost of "sacrificing" seven great sword cultivators.

"In the past one or two hundred years, due to the impact of the Moon Demon Empire system, the cultivation system has changed, and the weapon refining industry has naturally kept pace with the times. The already powerful magic weapons have been continuously optimized and become more powerful."

Yaoguang is quite familiar with this knowledge.

Magic weapons from two to three hundred years ago are called first-generation magic weapons. Those that can fully fit into the modern practice system are called second-generation magic weapons. Those that can reversely increase the combat power of the modern practice system are third-generation magic weapons.

For example, the Zixiao Type Twelve Flying Sword refined by Fluolight should be correctly called a third-generation spiritual weapon, and the improved one is a top-grade third-generation spiritual weapon.

However, it is difficult for the magic weapon market and the spiritual weapon market to enter the world's mainstream stage. Therefore, the second-generation flying swords that people refer to often refer to the second-generation ordinary magic weapon-level flying swords.

"Monopoly, the profits obtained are sky-high prices. A second-generation magical flying sword, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect dares to sell it for hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but the cost is only ten thousand. Even if the market is not big, the profit rate is high. The final increase in [merchant's] experience is definitely more than making a spiritual weapon order with a profit of hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones."

Yaoguang turned his gaze to the branches of his [Weapon Refining].

Zhang Jianlin came here this time to receive the fourth batch of 600 flying swords.

After completing the delivery of this flying sword, he has gathered the experience needed to reach new heights in [Weapon Refining] technology.

"I deliberately leaked some information, just to see how the Jiuding Sect treats me, a person who has shown the potential of a 'guru'. If they are really as tolerant and open-minded as they say, it is worth continuing to cooperate..."

Then we will enter the magic weapon market and make the entire Jiuding Sect a major makeover.
