Chapter 623 Lingwu City (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!)
Looking at the "Ben Lei", Liu Yu's eyes flickered, and her thoughts were burning in her heart.
Seemingly aware of his thoughts, Guo Poyun chuckled, poured a basin of cold water on his face, and said via voice:
"The refining of high-level spiritual ships is even dozens of times more difficult than magic weapons, and the requirements for the refiners are extremely high."
"Even ordinary weapon refining masters are far from meeting the requirements for refining a spiritual ship."
"The refiner must be proficient in the art of cultivating immortals such as the art of weapons, formations, and talismans at the same time. Especially the art of weapons and formations, they must have master-level attainments."
"The key skills are firmly controlled by the major forces. Currently, this kind of "ship refining master" can only be cultivated by the major god-forming forces."
"Furthermore, all major forces have a firm control over the number of third-level and above spiritual ships flowing out. Even if they have spiritual stones, they have no way to purchase them."
"It must be exchanged for extremely rare resources."
Having said this, the man sighed softly.
Although the Central Region is rich in resources, most of the resources for cultivating immortals are controlled by big forces such as Qian Ting, Holy Land, aristocratic families, and sects, which is very detrimental to small forces and casual cultivators.
Without sufficient resources, the situation of casual cultivators is not much better than that of the Four Domains.
Fortunately, the Central Region is rich in resources and has more casual cultivators than the Four Regions, and many talented people stand out.
Forming small alliances with each other will prevent the situation of casual cultivators from becoming more difficult and being further oppressed by the major forces with long traditions.
"Um."
Liu Yu nodded slightly, not surprised that a strategic weapon like a high-level spiritual ship was controlled by various major forces.
After all, it is almost instinctive for the upper level to monopolize the lower level, including but not limited to resources, knowledge, etc.
"But if you want to get a fourth-level spiritual ship, the thousand-year spiritual grass should be enough, right?"
"Perhaps, we can use the Immortal Mansion to ripen a few extremely rare thousand-year-old spiritual grass. Can we try to exchange for it?"
"It's too early to think about this now. This matter needs to be considered in the long term."
With all kinds of thoughts passing by, Liu Yuxin Lake gradually calmed down and completely calmed down.
According to Guo Poyun, the requirements for refiners of high-level spiritual ships are almost harsh, and they must be proficient in several immortal cultivation arts at the same time.
The refining materials for certain "key components" of the spiritual ship are also as rare as high-level spiritual objects.
Moreover, it takes a long time to refine, and if there is a mistake in one of the steps, it may result in losing all your money.
Such a heavy cost will inevitably make high-level spiritual ships extremely rare, and ordinary forces are simply not qualified to try them.
Even the Nascent Soul Sect is far from qualified.
Even the major forces at the general god level are still exploring the method of refining the fourth-level spiritual ship with a higher success rate.
Being able to stably build a fourth-level spiritual ship is an area that only Qianting and Holy Land can deal with!
…
After the Zhang family had a brief exchange, the forest gradually returned to calm.
At this time, the division of small groups has been initially completed, and everyone gradually became quiet.
In silence, time passed slowly, and more than a hundred Jindan monks patiently waited for the arrival of the last protector.
The sun sets in the west and finally sets from the horizon, leaving only a few wisps of red that will fade away.
This time, Liu Yu didn't have to wait long before his keen spiritual sense was touched.
When I looked up, I saw a pure blue glow flying straight through the darkness.
With the previous experience, everyone did not overreact this time, but were secretly vigilant.
"Rumble"
The spirit ship landed, the glow dissipated, and its huge body was revealed in front of everyone.
The ship's body is also covered with exquisite and unusual runes, which are completely natural and can't be seen as a trace of disharmony.
It's just that the structure of this spiritual ship is slightly different from the "Ben Lei".
It is not so domineering and abnormal, the whole body is light green like vegetation, and there is a huge vine pattern on the left side of the ship.
The various attack components on the ship are much smaller than those of the "Ben Lei", but they are still huge and seem to have different emphasis.
Without any intention of hiding anything, Zhang Tao introduced this spiritual ship to everyone, named "Qing Cang", and its level was also as high as the fourth level.
"They actually dispatched three Tier 4 spiritual ships or more at once. The Zhang family really spent a lot of money this time."
Seeing this, Guo Poyun sent out a message.
"oh?"
"Listening to what Fellow Daoist Guo said, could there be other spiritual ships, but Gu only saw two?"
Following the topic, Liu Yu asked.
"My Taoist friends in the ancient city don't know that the Zhang family also sent a spiritual ship, but it was carried by Taoist friend Zhang Tao and has not yet appeared in front of others."
"I also often come into contact with fellow Taoist Zhang Tao, so I learned about it by chance."
"The last spiritual ship is called "Dingnan", and its grade is as high as fourth-grade mid-grade."
"With full power, it is comparable to the attack of the True Monarch in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and its power is even better than the two ships in front of me."
Without hiding anything, Guo Poyun crossed his arms over his chest and said with inexplicable emotion.
Liu Yu nodded, feeling vaguely abnormal about this person, and had no intention of interfering.
Although the other party was entrusted by the Zhang family to enter the occupied Annan Liuzhou family to work, he felt that his relationship with the Zhang family was not cordial, but rather strange.
Jealousy? Angry?
Or hatred?
"Is it because this person is a casual cultivator?"
"Could it be that the conflict between the casual cultivators and the sect families in the Central Region has reached this level?"
Liu Yu made a guess in her mind.
But at this time, it was naturally not suitable to get to the bottom of it, so he just buried this guess deep in his heart and verified it when he had time.
"Lao Tao, I haven't seen you for many years."
While the two were communicating, a tall female cultivator wearing white clothes had jumped out of the "Qingcang" and greeted Zhang Tao.
Through a brief introduction, everyone learned that this woman’s name was “Kong Lingxiu”.
This woman looks to be about thirty years old. She is a mature and attractive female cultivator. She is dressed in white clothes that are as beautiful as snow and not stained by dust.
But unlike ordinary monks, he has white hair that is purer than snowflakes.
The strands of hair are exuding cold air all the time, and there is no trace of color in the white hair.
"The peak of the golden elixir, the ice spirit root monk."
"This woman is the protector in charge of Lingzhou and Shazhou. Based on her responsibilities, she may be even stronger than Zhang Ziping."
Gazing across the two of them, Liu Yu couldn't judge their strength from their breath alone, but based on their responsibilities, Liu Yu made a preliminary inference in her mind.
…
After the three guardians of the Zhang family arrived, the three set up a soundproof barrier and had a brief communication.
Because of the existence of the barrier, Liu Yu and others do not know the specific content.
However, after a brief exchange, Zhang Tao flew to the highest boulder, took a deep breath, and seemed about to announce something very important.
"Everyone, be proud of yourself."
His energetic voice slowly sounded in the forest.
From the fall of the Annan Six Continents to the efforts made by the Zhang family, they finally expressed their concern for the people of Liming.
It fully reflects the justice of this uprising, that is, the teacher has a good reputation.
The Central Committee also said that this is a God-given opportunity that must not be missed.
Many high-level demon cultivators have gone to participate in the "Royal Court Meeting" to fight for the interests of their respective ethnic groups. This is the best opportunity.
"That's what I want to say. As long as this incident can be successful, everything you want can be realized."
After saying the last sentence, Zhang Tao glanced at everyone and stopped speaking.
He knew that if he wanted to unite the monks in front of him and make them spare no effort in attacking Lingwu City, they must tie them up with interests.
"Papa pa pa"
"good!"
No matter what they thought in their hearts, many monks still raised their hands, applauded and cheered.
When the applause ended, Zhang Tao touched the storage ring, and an unusually exquisite silver-white boat appeared in front of him.
Then the silver-white boat quickly grew in size and stood between the "Ben Lei Hao" and the "Qing Cang Hao".
Dingnanhao!
"please."
Zhang Tao politely bowed his hand, and after saying that, he jumped into the water and jumped into the silver boat.
Not long after, three spiritual ships, one white, one green, and one blue, took off into the sky at the same time and flew towards Lingwu City in the north.
Hit Lingwu directly!
"Hasn't the Zhang family's Nascent Soul True Lord or a higher realm of existence not arrived yet?"
"How does it plan to appear?"
On the deck of the Dingnan, Liu Yu looked into the distance with his hands behind his hands, thinking secretly in his heart.
"No, maybe it has already arrived, but the method is so clever that the Golden Core cultivator cannot detect it."
He changed his mind and this idea flashed across his mind.
He then released his spiritual consciousness and carefully scanned every inch of space within a hundred miles, but found nothing unusual.
Nothing was found, which made Liu Yu a little regretful, but not too disappointed.
After all, high realm is relatively low realm. It is an all-round crushing. It is normal for you not to notice it.
The battle was approaching. Although there were nearly 1,670 Jindan monks gathered on the three Tier 4 spiritual ships, there was silence on the decks, and the atmosphere was once very depressing.
Behind, on the left and on the left, we are all comrades fighting for the same goal, but they cannot bring any sense of security.
If you think about it carefully, how difficult must it be to attack a city that requires one to two hundred Jindans but may not be able to break it?
Thinking of this, it is understandable that one or two hundred Jindans advancing and retreating together cannot bring the slightest sense of security.
The more prepared the Zhang family is, the more it illustrates how difficult and dangerous this battle is!
Shaking his head, Liu Yu got rid of the influence of negative emotions and began to look at the three spiritual ships at close range.
At this time, the three Tier 4 spirit ships have all returned to normal size, with the smallest one measuring 70 to 800 feet.
The highest-grade "Dingnan Hao" reaches an astonishing one hundred feet!
However, the fluctuations emitted by the spirit ship flying in the air were very weak, even weaker than when Liu Yu used the "Hidden Spirit Technique" to escape.
Many golden elixir monks were distributed on the three spiritual ships, but no mana fluctuations were transmitted. This was only because of a transparent shield invisible to the naked eye, which blocked all aura, spiritual pressure and mana fluctuations.
As long as you don't enter a certain range, or don't reach a certain level, your spiritual consciousness will scan over it and you won't find any abnormalities.
"This effect is comparable to my own "Wall of Divine Consciousness." The formations on the three spiritual ships must have the effect of blocking the detection of divine consciousness."
"No, no, no."
"The concealment effect should be better than my own "Wall of Divine Consciousness"."
"When fully activated, even Nascent Soul cultivators or transformed demon cultivators may not be able to detect it."
His spiritual consciousness carefully scanned the transparent shield. After observing it for a long time, Liu Yu shook his head repeatedly.
The scenes that his consciousness can observe are even ten times smaller than dust.
But even if you observe it with this kind of vision for a long time, you can't find any flaws, not a single gap.
Of course the "gap" exists, but with the current strength of his consciousness, it cannot be observed for the time being.
For now, Liu Yu's "Wall of Divine Consciousness" cannot achieve this effect.
Unless the strength of the divine consciousness is greatly improved again, or the magical power "Eye of the Stars" can be greatly improved, it will be possible.
Thinking of this, the blue aura in his eyes gradually dimmed. He didn't find any flaws for a long time and chose to give up observation.
"In terms of privacy alone, it has indeed reached a level that is difficult for Jindan monks to reach."
"I'm afraid it would be difficult for demon cultivators with special talents to detect the existence of a fourth-order spiritual ship."
"The stealth aspect is so excellent, but what about its attack, defense, etc.?"
Seeing the impressive performance of the three spiritual ships, Liu Yu couldn't help but have this idea in her mind, and a certain idea became even stronger.
"It's just that this spiritual ship doesn't seem to be easy to operate."
Glancing at Zhang Tao, who was concentrating on control, he thought to himself.
Even in the ordinary flying state, Zhang Tao needs to devote a lot of energy to control it, and his brows frown slightly unconsciously, which obviously consumes a lot of energy.
Moreover, with Liu Yu's keen spiritual sense and powerful spiritual consciousness, he could also detect the "sluggishness" in his control of the spiritual ship.
Ordinary golden elixirs may not feel it, but he can detect that there is an extremely brief sluggishness when the three spiritual ships turn, appearing a bit "stiff".
If we take advantage of this extremely short "stiff time" to launch an attack, the three spiritual ships will be extremely passive.
Even Liu Yu can discover these flaws, so in the eyes of higher-level beings, wouldn't it mean that there are more flaws?
"From this point of view, it is too exaggerated to say that the spirit ships of the corresponding level can compete with the monks of the corresponding level."
Looking at the spirit ship openly, Liu Yu thought silently.
Not only him, most of the Central Region Golden Cores have never seen such high-level war magic weapons as Level 4 Spirit Ships.
Therefore, many monks were also looking at him, and his behavior was not surprising at all.
The escape speed of the fourth-level spirit ship easily exceeds the insurmountable limit of four thousand miles for Jindan monks, and easily reaches the average escape speed of six thousand miles per hour, and it seems to be able to do so with ease.
In less than five hours, we arrived at the place where Liu Yu last met Guo Poyun, which was only about 700 miles away from Lingwu City.
"Whizzing"
A transparent shield enveloped the huge hull, isolating all fluctuations, and the third-order spiritual ship continued to move forward.
In the far north, a majestic ancient fairy city that stretches for more than a hundred miles from side to side gradually appears in sight.
The minds of all the monks were tense at this moment!
Lingwu City!
It borders Yiwu to the south and Lingwu to the north.
Changnan City is located in the southernmost part of Annan Protectorate, while Lingwu City is located in the northernmost part.
The word "Yi" refers to Yizhou, and the word "Lingwu" refers to Lingwu City and Lingzhou.
Lingwu City was the first immortal city built when the Immortal Cultivators from the Central Region began to spread their footprints across the six continents of Annan. It has extraordinary significance.
This city is easy to defend and difficult to attack because it guards the main road. Its importance can be called the first city in the Six Continents of Annan. Only "Changnan City" can compare with it.
However, times have changed. Since the fall of Annan Six Continents, Changnan City has lost its strategic significance and has gradually become lonely. It can no longer be compared with Lingwu City.
