When Li Shiming came out of a cave on the lower level of Xun Peak, his senior brother who was in the late stage of Qi Refining greeted him politely.
This was the eighth task he had completed to arrange a magic circle for the monks of the sect. The tasks he chose to arrange the magic circle were all tasks that rewarded good deeds. Even if the good deeds were less, he took it.
Because the magic circle he arranged can maximize the power of the magic circle, he is now somewhat famous among the disciples in the late Qi refining period who are in need of magic spells within the sect.
Unfortunately, twenty days had passed before he accepted eight good deeds and obtained four hundred good deeds. He felt that the speed of earning good deeds was still too slow.
This is also related to the fact that the tasks accepted are all from monks in the Qi Refining Period. The good deeds that monks in this period can perform are limited.
The reason why he spent a lot of time and energy taking on tasks within the sect was because he was worried.
During the twenty days after returning to the sect, he spent the rest of the time in the underground space on Eagle Beak Island except for performing the 'Spring Breeze Moisturizing Art' every day.
Han Tianlei's interrogation has ended. The Ling Zhihu who died on Eagle Beak Island has nothing to do with him. Currently, the sect has not found the murderer.
Li Shiming knew that Ling Zhifu must have died in revenge of the Holy Ice Sect, but he didn't know if the Holy Ice Sect knew that they had killed the wrong person.
Every time he returned to the sect, he checked the records of the surveillance cameras to see if any suspicious monks had approached Eagle Beak Island, but there was no new discovery.
This does not mean safety. Fortunately, Eagle Beak Island is very close to Jiufeng. In addition, it has been replaced with a stronger small mountain guarding formation, so the possibility of being easily broken through the formation like before is unlikely.
"Junior Brother Li, walk slowly!" Li Shiming was about to go to Lingji Pavilion, but when he was about to leave Xun Peak, he was stopped by a monk.
The person who stopped him was a late-stage Qi-refining monk. His temperament was not like that of ordinary late-stage Qi-refining monks, giving him a strange feeling that he was easy to get along with.
"Excuse me, Junior Brother Li, my name is Yunze, and my family runs Yun's Trading Company within the sect!" Yunze introduced himself with a smile.
This is a businessman, and Li Shiming finally understood what his temperament was.
"I wonder what's wrong with Senior Brother Yun?" Li Shiming listened to Yun Ze's introduction, but still didn't understand why he wanted to see him.
Yunze saw that Li Shiming seemed to have never heard of Yun's Trading Company, which was not surprising.
Although Yun's Trading Company is considered a relatively large trading firm among the Qi Refining Period monks in the sect, considering the time when Li Shiming entered the sect and the fact that Li Shiming lived alone outside the sect, it is normal for him to not know anything about Yun's Trading Company.
"Yun's Trading Company is recognized by the sect and specializes in providing various resource supplies to monks. Monks can use spirit stones to purchase resources!" Yunze pointed out the key point.
Li Shiming became interested. Since Qiutan disappeared, his way to purchase resources has been cut off.
And during the current period, he did not dare to leave the Nine Peaks of the sect too far, so he could not purchase various resources on his own.
He is indeed out of stock, from magic circle materials to training resources, he is short of everything.
The reason why I work hard on the sect's mission is to obtain more good deeds, and I plan to use my good deeds in exchange for some resources.
"Senior Brother Yun, I just need a batch of resources, and Senior Brother has solved my urgent need!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"Junior brother, if you need anything, just tell me directly. We can purchase the business and deliver it to the cave!" Yunze thought Li Shiming was being polite and was very happy to be able to negotiate a business, so he replied with a smile.
Li Shiming became a formation master and gained a little fame, which ordinary monks didn't know much about.
However, commercial firms are naturally aware that formation masters are extremely profitable in spiritual stones. As long as any formation master is willing to spend time, he can earn a large amount of spiritual stones through his formation abilities.
In addition, array mages are also large resource consumers, and the research on arrays requires a large amount of array materials.
It can be said that every growing formation master is a potential customer of the trading firm.
"This is what I want. Can you tell me when I can get it?" Li Shiming took out a paper list and handed it to Yunze and asked.
Yunze was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Li Shiming had already prepared it. At the same time, he was also glad in his heart. If he hadn't come to Li Shiming, this business would have been cheaper than other firms.
The sect is recognized, and there is more than one firm that can do business within the sect.
This type of business is completely different from the markets outside the Nine Peaks of the Sect. The business only contacts monks with potential. While doing business, it can also be regarded as an investment.
When potential monks need it, the trading firm can provide services to the best of its ability.
When the potential monks grow up, they will become the help of the trading company.
At the same time, this does not affect the business bank's ability to earn profits and reach a deal with potential monks, which is more than the amount of transactions for dozens of monks received by Waifang Market.
"Ten soul-fixing incense is not cheap. In addition, some of the mortal items in the list are in stock, and the rest will take half a month to be delivered. The magic circle materials can be traded at any time!" Yunze explained while looking at the list.
"How many spiritual stones are needed in total?" Li Shiming has a lot of spiritual stones in his hand. Not counting the ones he obtained from Baili Jinyan, he still has more than two thousand spiritual stones in his hand.
What he lacked was never spiritual stones, but good deeds.
"1680 spiritual stones. Except for the mortal objects, the rest of the spiritual objects will be delivered to the cave tomorrow morning. The mortal objects are considered gifts from the merchant house. Send them over as soon as they arrive!" Yunze quickly calculated the total amount.
"Okay, this is the spirit stone!" Li Shiming simply took the spirit stone and handed it to Yunze.
There is no possibility of deception in the sect. Yunze cannot afford it, and Li Shiming does not have to worry about such a thing happening.
The transaction has a contract that needs to be backed up in the identity jade disk. Once one party breaks the contract, the sect will intervene.
This is the benefit of trading with a trading firm recognized by the sect, so Li Shiming happily handed over the spirit stone.
"Contact me if you need it in the future!" Yunze said with a sincere smile on his face, taking out his jade plate of identity.
The two parties exchanged contact information, and then Li Shiming could contact Yunze to order items at any time within a thousand miles of the sect.
Looking at Li Shiming's leaving figure, Yunze looked proud.
This time, he paid a favor to know exactly where Li Shiming's mission was and stopped Li Shiming outside.
Get ahead of other trading firms and win over Li Shiming, a potential junior array master, to become a client of the trading firm.
This order alone earned more than the ten favors he paid.
Li Shiming was also very happy. Among the training plans he made for himself when he came back, he included the 'Bingxin Jade Thought Technique', but he did not purchase the Dinghun Incense, the basic resource for practicing spiritual thoughts, so he could not start formal practice.
There is indeed a soul-fixing incense for sale in the sect. After this mission, the good deeds in his hands were enough to exchange for part of the soul-fixing incense. He did not expect to meet Yunze unexpectedly and use the spirit stones to buy the soul-fixing incense.
It is less consumption of good deeds.
The next morning, Yunze personally delivered the goods to Yingzui Island, where Li Shiming received them.
After Li Shiming got the goods, he immediately returned to the underground space.
Here, a machine tool is almost ready.
These days, in addition to practicing and doing tasks, he is building this machine tool.
This machine tool is not an ordinary machine tool. To be precise, it should be called an industrial mother machine.
Industrial machine tools are metal processing machine tools. In layman's terms, they are machines that make machines.
He had this plan long after he settled down, and now he finally started the manufacturing work.
The design drawings of the industrial motherboard are archived in IBMz15 and are specially encrypted, with a very high level of confidentiality.
And there were not only domestic design drawings from previous lives, but also design drawings of foreign industrial aircraft. As for how they came about, he didn't know.
The industrial mother machine he chose is the most mature design, with a five-axis linkage double swing milling head. The CNC part needs to be connected to an IBMz15 and controlled by the IBMz15.
There is no way around this. At present, he cannot manufacture chips by himself, so the core part of the CNC of the industrial mother machine can only be replaced by IBMz15.
Without chips, many technologies in previous lives could not be completed.
However, except for the data part, he can guarantee that the rest has reached or even exceeded the most accurate machine tool standards in previous generations.
Because the manufacturing of this machine tool was completely done in the machine room space, he used micron-level control power and used the third-grade sword base to cut it bit by bit.
No matter how complex the metal structure is, the third-grade sword can be transformed into the smallest cutter. Under the control of micron-level consciousness, it can achieve 100% micron-level accuracy.
This was something that could not be achieved in the previous life. The most perfect processing was achieved through the 'Sword Control Technique' and the extremely sharp third-grade sword base that can be changed at will.
Of course, the machine tool in front of you is not without flaws, and that is the material of the metal.
He was unable to find all the rare metals that fully met the standards to produce the most qualified synthetic metal. This caused the machine tool to be slightly deformed due to heat or cold during the processing process, thus reducing the processing accuracy.
He has found a solution in this regard, and is currently accumulating good deeds and preparing to purchase the magic knowledge of the formation master.
The so-called enchantment is the most important step in the processing of a magic weapon. This step requires attaching specific enchantment runes to the magic weapon, so that the magic weapon has special effects.
The most basic enchantment runes include spirit storage runes, acceleration runes, solidity runes, slowness runes, fire runes, frost runes, etc. A magic weapon with enchantment runes can be considered a real magic weapon.
The enchantment requires extremely accurate sensing of the spiritual power of the magic weapon blank, and it is necessary to find the point where the spiritual power of the magic weapon is balanced to perform spells. These are what the array mage is best at.
Many weapon makers will ask array mages to help them add spells. Of course, there are also weapon makers who can cast spells on their own, but there are not many weapon makers among them.
Because in addition to the accurate induction of spiritual power, enchantment also requires special learning of enchantment runes. Learning each enchantment rune is equivalent to learning a new spell, and you need to master its true meaning.
Attaching magical weapons to magic weapons is one of the more spiritual stone-earning tasks among array mages.
During the Qi refining period, you don’t earn much by attaching magic to a magic weapon, but the advantage is that the demand is huge. If you cooperate with a certain business firm for a long time, the income will be very considerable.
When it comes to the foundation building stage, the benefits of attaching a spell will be greater, and of course the difficulty will also be greatly increased.
Li Shiming wanted to learn the magic technique not to earn spiritual stones, but for machine tools.
No matter how unqualified the metal is, as long as he attaches strong runes to it, the machine tool will not have any worries about deformation even if it is exposed to high temperatures.
The cutting tools of the machine tool are the simplest. You only need to customize the most common low-grade magic weapon, and the shape will be according to the size of the tool required by the machine tool. More precise processing can be re-processed using the third-grade sword base in the machine room space.
At present, this machine tool cannot be used, but just looking at the machine tool, Li Shiming feels satisfied.
This is the beginning of his own civilization. When this machine tool is turned on, all those complex processing machines can be manufactured one by one.
As for the raw materials that he was most worried about, most of them could be purchased with the help of Yun's Trading Company. The raw materials that were really unavailable were replaced by other methods.
This is a process of discovering and solving problems. I believe that by combining the technology and cultivation methods of the two worlds, it will not be a problem to achieve his design goals.
Li Shiming took out the array materials he purchased this time and remade some array flags. After the production was completed, he placed the array flags in the spiritual veins for cultivation.
In the future, he does not plan to take out the Soul Gathering Plate again in the underground space. Every time the Soul Gathering Plate is taken out, it will affect the accumulation of spiritual power in the computer room space, thus affecting the progress of the avatar's practice of the "Five Elements of Qi Receiving Technique".
The soul gathering disk is still precious to ordinary monks in the Qi refining stage, but for Li Shiming, who has mastered the knowledge of formations, he can completely replace it with formations on his own, and he can do better.
Li Shiming took out the soul-fixing incense. The soul-fixing incense is the most expensive resource in this order. One soul-fixing incense is worth one hundred spiritual stones.
These ten soul-fixing incense accounted for more than half of the spiritual stones paid. From this, we can see how much consumption it takes to practice beyond the Qi refining stage.
Soul-fixing incense is generally used during the Qi refining period for monks to consume during the recovery period after something goes wrong while practicing a certain skill.
Even monks in the foundation-building stage still have a need for soul-fixing incense. Soul-fixing incense is also effective for foundation-building monks and is suitable for recovery when practicing spiritual thoughts.
So Li Shiming ordered ten soul-fixing incense, and Yunze thought he was ordering it for a certain monk who went crazy during the Qi refining period. He did not expect that it would be used to practice spiritual thoughts.
Looking at the soul-fixing incense, Li Shiming hesitated for a while. He was considering whether to practice the main body first or let the clone practice first.
The clone originally practiced the 'Bingxin Jade Thought Technique', but the clone's original soul disappeared and was replaced by a new corpse-refining spirit. He didn't know if the clone still retained part of its spiritual thoughts.
In fact, the current state of the clone is too special. Life and death are integrated into one body, and it can switch between life and death at will, which is beyond his understanding of life.
"It's better to let the avatar practice first!" Li Shiming made up his mind and sent a soul-fixing incense into the computer room space and ignited it.
His consciousness also completely entered the clone body, and he began to concentrate his mental power according to the records of the "Bing Xin Jade Thought Technique".
The fragrance of the soul-fixing incense was completely inhaled into the body of the clone as he breathed, which made him feel extremely clear-headed, like a basin of water being poured over his head.
