All the fake elixir representatives left in an orderly manner, when only Xuanyuanzi, Cao Lie, Song Yang, President Pan, and Meng Wuwei were left in the room.

Xuanyuanzi, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said to the four of them:

"Can the city defense formation be completed within this year?"

Facing his questioning gaze, Cao Lie said with an embarrassed look on his face: "This new city is still very large. Is this year's construction period too tight?"

Xuan Yuanzi asked: "Are you putting the layout of the city defense formation together with the reconstruction of the new city?"

After saying that, he shook his head and said:

"As long as you plan well in advance, you can lay out the city defense formation first and then slowly build and fill it in.

The final effect will not have any impact."

After hearing this, Cao Lie couldn't help but "add" in his mind that the biggest disadvantage of doing this is that once the city defense formation is completed, no changes can be made later, otherwise, some major flaws or even

loopholes.

And with such a large amount of work, how could it be possible to achieve perfection during the design?

During the actual construction process, it is inevitable to make some local adjustments and changes according to the actual situation.

It's not impossible to do what Xuanyuanzi suggested, but there will definitely be many flaws in the details.

This is like a set of test papers that are obviously capable of getting 90% or even full marks, but in the end they only get 70% or 80%.

Although you have passed the exam, you will inevitably have regrets in your heart.

With this thought in his mind, Cao Lie found another reason.

"Of course this is feasible, but even if we were willing, we wouldn't be able to gather so much formation materials in such a short period of time!"

Xuanyuanzi smiled softly and said:

"I have already thought about this for you. Qingxuan Sect can provide you with the materials for upgrading the city defense this time in advance.

As long as you can pay it back within ten years, that’s a loose enough condition, right?”

Cao Lie was startled, he didn't expect that Qingxuanzong would give such loose conditions.

Just when Cao Lie was stunned, Song Yang next to him had already asked:

"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuanzi, do you have any special intention in making this arrangement?"

Xuanyuanzi nodded:

"Because my two nephews will leave in the first month of next year, and I will probably leave before February next year at the latest.

From now on, Sanchuan Plain will have to rely on you to protect it."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Song Yang, Cao Lie, and Meng Zhou.

"That's why I suggest you complete the layout of the third-level high-grade city defense formation within this year. The specific construction of the new city can be done slowly."

When they suddenly heard his words, everyone was shocked, and Meng Zhou also cast a concerned look.

"Did...what happened?" Song Yang asked with concern.

Xuanyuanzi glanced at everyone and said with a smile:

"Why are you looking at me like this? Don't worry, it's not a bad thing.

This year is the 89th year that our Qingxuan Sect was founded, and next year it will be 90 years.

As for the rules in our sect, every tenth year, there will be a small celebration in the sect.

If that were the case, we expatriates wouldn't have to go back.

However, Zongli made a new decision this year, considering that next year’s Xiaoqing will be followed by the Centenary Day - you should understand what this means to us.

Zongli was worried that when the centenary celebration came, he would make a fool of himself due to lack of experience and other reasons, so he decided to treat next year's Xiaoqing as a big celebration, a preview."

Cao Lie, Song Yang and others looked at each other in shock after hearing Xuanyuanzi share this reason.

This reason is really impeccable, but hearing it in their ears makes them feel a little bit pained.

…

After this meeting, the construction tide that had been brewing for a long time was like a flood, spreading inside and outside Sanchuan City, covering the entire Sanchuan Plain.

Because there were enough spiritual materials lent by Qingxuanzong, the technical team that deployed the formation was also an old team that had presided over the upgrade of the spiritual veins of Sanchuan Plain. They were familiar with the situation of Sanchuan Plain, and the third-level high-grade city defense formation was quickly prepared and planned.

stand up.

Today's Sanchuan City is being rapidly demolished, with only a few dozen third-level caves dotting it.

Other areas are turning into ruins at the fastest speed.

Then, these ruins quickly turned into wasteland.

An extremely prosperous city quickly degenerated into a wilderness.

At first, Zhu Qian was still very new to this scene. In the name of handling various chores for Meng Zhou, she ran out every two days. In fact, she was running around in the Sanchuan Plain.

However, this freshness did not last for a few days, before she settled down and stayed in the cave all day long.

Unless Meng Zhou ordered her to make a trip, she would not touch the "respected person". In her words, "It's a mess, what's the point of looking at it."

Indeed, Meng Zhou was tired of seeing this kind of dusty and messy construction site in his previous life, and it was nothing new to him.

In order to "save" as much as possible, Cao Lie, Song Yang, President Pan, Yao Gu and others mobilized with all their strength. They not only had to demolish the old city before the city defense array was completed, but also tried their best to build a new city.

The outline of the new city is drawn out to maximize the fit between the city defense array and the new city.

Not only did they practice a lot of qi, but the monks in the foundation-building realm temporarily took on a part-time job as "construction workers", and they often used fake elixirs, and even the two real elixirs Cao Lie and Song Yang.

Regarding the heated scene outside, Meng Zhou only occasionally observed through the moon mirror to confirm the progress, but he had no intention of joining Cao Lie and Song Yang to set an example for other monks.

I don’t know what other people think about his attitude of being dedicated to cultivation and not involved in details. Anyway, Cao Lie and Song Yang are not dissatisfied at all. Instead, they will take the initiative to send messages to Meng Zhou every now and then, like friends.

La Jiadai shared the current situation and progress with Meng Zhou.

This allowed him to be well aware of the changes in various things even though he was not involved.

…

Since the skill of making spirit puppets has been promoted from Dacheng to Master level, the production efficiency has been improved.

Thirty fake elixir puppets can be made every day and six thousand experience points can be gained.

In addition, as the spirit puppet making skills advanced from Dacheng to Master, Meng Zhou found that he had a deeper understanding of the nature of third-level spiritual materials.

With this understanding, using the same spiritual materials, the spiritual puppets produced can achieve stronger effects.

However, with this harvest, Meng Zhou did not make a more powerful spiritual puppet, but divided the third-level spiritual materials into smaller portions.

On average, each piece of spiritual material can be divided into five small parts by him, which allows him to gain more experience with less consumption of spiritual materials.

Twenty days later, when the time came to the end of February, just when Meng Zhou was about to enter the quiet room again to start retreat, Meng Zhou once again completed the production of 600 fake elixir puppets and gained a total of 120,000 experience points.

The skill of making spirit puppets has completed the accumulation of master level and entered the master level.

"Level 3 Spirit Puppet Master 0.01 million/240,000"

Looking at the neatly stacked number of fake elixir puppets in the storage space, which numbered more than a thousand, one thousand and sixty-three fake elixir puppets to be exact, Meng Zhou couldn't help complaining:

"If all these are released, the combat power of the fake elixirs will really be ruined. All the late-stage foundation-building monks in the Qingxuan Domain will have a lot of leftovers if each person is equipped with a fake elixir spirit puppet."

…

The fifth day of March, afternoon.

Cultivation progress +720, one level of elixir formation is 4575/10,000;

Third level Spring Water Sutra +2400, small success 07200/30000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +2400, initial success is 10,500/15,000;

…

After leaving the customs, Meng Zhou did not immediately start making the fake elixir puppets, but instead took inventory.

In order to complete the accumulation of the master level, he consumed a full 120 copies of the third-level low-grade spiritual materials. Now, he still has 141 copies of the third-level low-grade spiritual materials in his hand.

Although, since he completed his master accumulation of skills in making fake elixir spirit puppets and became a master, his utilization of the characteristics of spiritual materials has been further improved, and he can use less materials to do things in the past, but now this

The quantity of third-level low-grade spiritual materials is still not enough to support him to complete the accumulation of the entire master level.

Meng Zhou didn't care too much about this.

His consciousness swept over Zhu Qian who was working silently on several spiritual plants in the grove and said:

"Go to Tu Baiyao's place to get some second-level spiritual materials... The weight of each level will be twice the amount taken last time."

The fake elixir puppet refined by Meng Zhou consumes much more second-level spiritual materials than third-level low-level spiritual materials.

In order to complete the accumulation of master level, the quantity of second-level spiritual materials in his hand is far from enough, and the proportions of different qualities are also inconsistent.

At this time, he would send Zhu Qian directly to the Blue Blood Army to find Tu Baiyao to fill it up according to his needs.

With the Jade Blood Army's current capabilities, it would be difficult for them to gather too many third-level spiritual materials in a short period of time.

As for the second-level spiritual materials, as long as there are not thousands of them, there will be no pressure at all on the Blue Blood Army with the entire Blue Blood Plains and Sanchuan Plain as its backing.
