With the main force of 6,000 pirates being completely wiped out, the pirate leader Pu Yanshou being executed and Dongtian Space being discovered, this large-scale counterattack against the pirate invasion has come to an end.
Although there are still scattered pirates fleeing around, it is no longer a cause for concern. Following this, the number of wounded dropped significantly, and a series of first aid clinics gradually completed their tasks and began to close.
Liang En, who was originally busy, naturally relaxed and was able to take more time to do his own things, and the first thing he did was to count the harvest.
The biggest gain came from the essence of luck. The day after returning from the previous cave space, Liang En got up and found that half a cauldron of silver liquid had accumulated in his small cauldron.
After a simple communication with Tongding, he found that he had obtained a full 1,768 drops of luck essence this time, which was his biggest gain in this war.
As the first person to discover the clues of this war and issue an early warning, he had expected to obtain a large amount of luck essence, but the amount seemed a bit small at first glance.
After all, a war can change the fate of many, many people. Compared with the change in fate with just over a thousand points of luck essence, it can easily feel a bit disproportionate.
Fortunately, perhaps because of a large one-time income, the small cauldron output some information that relieved his inner doubts: According to this information, the Two Worlds Cauldron collects the essence of luck according to the situation.
If the change in destiny is caused by a direct action, such as saving someone or killing an enemy, then he can get more luck essence from it.
But if it is only a change caused by indirect actions, such as warning of war in advance or spreading knowledge that changes someone's destiny, the essence of luck obtained will be much less.
Most of Liang En's luck essence in this war came from indirect actions. Only saving people and finally finding the cave space center and killing the bandit leader were direct actions. Naturally, the luck essence obtained in this way was more than he imagined.
Much less.
But even so, 1,768 drops of luck essence is definitely not a small number. Not to mention that he occasionally receives one or two drops of luck essence now, which should be related to the technology he brought to save lives.
After a series of simple calculations, he began to improve his various skills.
The first skills to be improved were naturally "Xiaoyao Ziji Qi Refining Technique" and "Qinglian Sword Technique". With the investment of 187 points of luck essence, he successfully upgraded the skills he inherited from Shixian to a century-old cultivation level.
.
The next thing Liang En promoted was the "Ziwu Baoyuan Gong". Compared with the previous two martial arts, this martial arts skill was still lower in level, so only 57 drops of luck essence allowed him to use this skill.
The Dharma has also been upgraded to a century-old level of cultivation.
The reason why it is a hundred years of cultivation, rather than investing all the luck essence in one go, is also very simple - his current endurance is at the level of a hundred years, and it will take a while to digest it if he wants to continue to improve.
As for the last skill to be improved, alchemy. After spending nearly ten days reading the alchemy information seized this time, Liang En consumed 375 points of luck essence in one breath to master the alchemy skill he obtained this time.
If compared, this upgrade has brought Liang En's knowledge of alchemy to a level close to that of an alchemist master, but his practical level is only between an intermediate alchemist and a senior alchemist due to insufficient training.
between.
Of course, simply learning alchemy would not consume so much luck essence. The reason why so much was consumed was purely to adapt these alchemy techniques to the direction of Liang En's current practice.
After all, the alchemical knowledge that he had seized as trophies was based on the Western extraordinary system. In this case, it was completely incompatible with the various inheritances practiced by Liang En.
That's why he consumed nearly three times the amount of luck essence needed for normal learning to convert these alchemy techniques, which came entirely from the West, into power that he could use.
As soon as he obtained these alchemy skills, he concentrated his energy on making the Qinglian Sword. For him, now that the war is over, it has become important to cast a magic weapon for himself.
matter.
Previous battles have proven that ordinary weapons, no matter how good they are, are of little use to Liang En. For example, the knight's sword made purely with modern technology was easily damaged in the battle between practitioners.
This is not to say that the weapons made by modern technology are not good, but that modern materials do not support spiritual power at all, so when using spiritual power, let alone getting an increase, it will be because those things come from almost no spiritual power.
Causes in the world have extraordinary resistance to spiritual power.
Due to the existence of extraordinary resistance in these modern materials, when Liang En uses extraordinary power, a large amount of power will accumulate in the weapon itself, eventually destroying the weapon itself.
In other words, if Liang En doesn't want to change several weapons in one battle, or even let the weapon turn into a time bomb around him, he must find a magic weapon for practitioners to use as soon as possible.
Fortunately, due to his improved cultivation and mastery of alchemy knowledge, the speed of his preparations for casting the Green Lotus Sword was also immediately improved, so Liang En had all the necessary materials ready within a week.
These supplies are not only the steel that Liang En carefully selected and refined and the piece of spiritual iron, but also a grindstone made of special materials, a note from a master swordsmith and a vat of potion specially used for quenching.
The former was sent by the River God Huang Yongnian, because Liang En had pointed out the way to the future for him before, so this time he sent it immediately after learning that Liang En needed to cast a magical sword that matched his own spiritual path.
Block of captured millstone.
According to him, this stone was captured from the enemy's flagship in the previous battle against pirates. According to the prisoner's confession, it was the equipment used by the Japanese pirate leader Kameda to sharpen his sword.
Compared with ordinary grinding stones, this stone is better at grinding extraordinary weapons and can make those weapons sharper. It is a rare auxiliary magic weapon.
The Sword Master's Notes come from Taixue and were a return gift from the Confucian masters after receiving the ancient Egyptian text translation manual given by Liang En.
The quenching potion came from the Temple of Medicine. Because Liang En contributed a lot of knowledge about treatment and medical treatment for free this time, they expressed their gratitude to Liang En in this way.
In addition to supplies, Liang En also used this period of time to continuously practice alchemy, gradually becoming familiar with this technology through practical operations, and adjusting his condition to the best.
For a beginner like Liang En, refining such an important weapon from the beginning was undoubtedly a bit nervous.
Fortunately, as a cheating practitioner, Liang En's own practice level is now much higher than that of those practitioners who refine the Green Lotus Sword under normal circumstances.
In this case, he can use his absolute advantage in cultivation to avoid possible mistakes in the process of refining the Green Lotus Sword and ensure the completion of the Green Lotus Sword.
