"Palace Master Li, please calm down, Palace Master Li, please calm down. Please allow Master Zhang and I to return to the empire. We will definitely show enough sincerity to compensate for the offense against Palace Master Li."
A top star refiner in the imperial mission quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Li Mu didn't say anything, and directly frightened Zhang Dongwang, who had almost no star power left in his body, and went straight to another palace on the top of Hualong Mountain.
Conventional means cannot imprison the astral body at all, and ordinary prison cells cannot imprison the astral body, especially the great astral refiner who can integrate the will of the atom.
However, there are many great star refiners who commit crimes in this world. For this reason, people have specially crafted a special cage based on the characteristics of the astral body.
This kind of cage star refiner must continuously transport star power inside and perform operations similar to "labor reform". Once it stops, the cage will sound an alarm.
The continuous flow of star power restricted the possibility of the Great Star Refiner to accumulate star power. Without star power, it would naturally be difficult to transform into star power, and he would not be able to exert much of his strength, so he had to accept the transformation honestly.
Of course, this kind of "prison" is not strong enough for the Great Star Refiner.
But what can really intimidate the Great Star Refiner into keeping him honest is the power that captures him alive.
As long as this power is still there, unless the great star refiner really wants to die, he will never dare to escape from prison easily.
And they accept the products of "reform through labor"...
It is the spirit-gathering bead that Li Mu had refined previously.
The Spirit Gathering Bead can increase the limit of the Martial Saint, but for top star refiners and above, it is also a treasure that restores star power.
As for the star refiners below the top...
Without the astral body, which is a big energy consumer, there is basically no need to worry about star power consumption.
Li Mu took Zhang Dongwang and soon came to a building with a diameter of more than 30 meters, similar to an altar, but with thirteen crystal pillars in the middle and around it.
"As a great star refiner, ten of the thirteen star energy pillars must be kept bright. If I find you cheating..."
Li Ma threw Zhang Dongwang onto the altar building: "The Great Star Refiner should not die in the human civil war, but it does not include those die-hards who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions."
"Master Li, why is this happening? We made a special trip to the Star Martial Temple to seek cooperation..."
Zhang Dongwang said quickly.
"Seek cooperation?"
Li Mu said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, but now, it is not the time to cooperate. Anyway, sooner or later you will not accept the conditions I proposed, and you will even think that I..."
Speaking of this, he sighed: "Arrogant."
Zhang Dongwang looked at Li Mu...
The master of the Star Martial Temple actually dares to challenge the empire, one of the six poles of the world. Isn't this arrogance?
If there are no huge benefits, the six-pole countries in the world will really have to give you a face and not dare to act rashly against you.
but……
Skill stones!
In the past two months, they have had people "sneak into" the black gold mining area. By chance, they also discovered a corpse king, and successfully took away a skill stone from the corpse king, confirming the identity of this treasure.
effect!
It’s so true!
This is so powerful that it can pour all the experience and insights of a top expert into it, making it a treasure passed down by the sect. How precious is it!?
Even compared to the legendary star weapon, it is not inferior!
What an amazing benefit is this!?
If the empire is given a steady stream of skill stones, it won't take long for the empire to be able to cultivate a large number of great star refiners and legendary level experts.
You must know that before the stage of the Great Star Refiner, a star refiner can increase his strength by directly visualizing the Star God and refining starlight. He only needs to give him the insights of the Martial Saint level, the experience of casting astral bodies, and a skill stone.
, it only takes two or three months for a star refiner to grow to the level of a top star refiner.
If you start out as a top star refiner, and have the understanding of a powerful person like Fu Qingtian who transformed from the king of the century, can the next great star refiner and legend be far behind?
In this case, the role that skill stones can play for Star Refiners is far superior to that of Martial Gods.
If everything goes well, the crises facing mankind will be solved in a very short time.
This is also the reason why the empire takes action against the black gold mining area at the risk of offending Li Ma, the pioneer of the martial arts world, and extirpating herself from the martial arts world in the future.
The benefits are too great.
Zhang Dongwang was silent for a moment, and said in as sincere a tone as possible: "Dianzhu Li, listen to my advice. Skill Stones and other valuable resources related to the future of the human race... you can't control them."
"Precious resources."
Li Ma said calmly: "No matter how valuable the skill stone is, it can't be compared to the six divine rings, right? The ring of the void that can arrive at any battlefield at any time for support, the ring of rebirth that can resurrect the dead, the ring of destruction that controls flames, let the spirit
The substantive spiritual ring, the void ring that disappears and is difficult for any living being to detect, and the soul ring that can blind the mind and separate people's spirit and flesh!"
None of these six divine rings belong to the unreasonable level.
"That's different."
Zhang Dongwang retorted instinctively.
"I know what's different."
Li Midao said: "Because the ones in charge of these divine rings are the six poles of the world."
Zhang Dongwang frowned.
Isn't this normal? Human beings develop and advance under the leadership of the six poles of the world.
If there were no six poles of the world to attack everywhere, clear dangerous areas, kill ferocious beasts and monsters to maintain world peace, I am afraid that a land like Big Moon would have been devastated and turned into a paradise for ferocious beasts and monsters.
But then, he seemed to realize something, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "You...you want to build the Star Martial Temple into the seventh pole in the world!?"
"The seventh pole of the world...I never thought about it that way."
Li Ma calmly said: "However, it is not too much to open a holy land that belongs entirely to martial artists."
Zhang Dongwang looked at Li Mu, his eyes looked like a madman.
The six poles of the world feel the oppression caused by ferocious beasts and monsters, and think that using the Human Alliance will achieve the unification of all countries in the world, so as to concentrate all the manpower and material resources in the world to fight against ferocious beasts and monsters. Fortunately, he actually wants to do it at this juncture.
Calling on warriors in an attempt to open up a holy land of martial arts comparable to the seventh pole in the world?
Isn’t this dividing humanity?
Isn’t this going against the general policy of unifying the human race?
Do you still have any sense of humanity?
Do you still have some perspective on the overall situation?
"Every force should shine for the concept of the unification of mankind! Li Fei, as the pioneer of the Martial God Path, the founder of all warriors, and the new ancestor of martial arts, you should set an example by setting an example. Don't make a mistake!"
Zhang Dongwang said loudly.
"Those who seek other people's materials for their own benefit are not qualified to say such things."
Li Midao.
"We are doing this for the future of the world..."
Zhang Dongwang’s righteous rebuttal.
"So, the resources such as skill stones are in your hands for the future of the world, but in our hands, it is to divide the human race and ignore the overall situation?"
Li Ma's tone was slightly cold.
"you……"
"Stay here honestly and don't do anything that causes me to misunderstand, otherwise..."
Li Ma paused and gave him an indifferent look: "You will die."
Even though Zhang Dongwang was a great star refiner, he still felt horrified by Li Ma's look.
The mental value that exceeded 100 gave him a vague premonition...
Ms. Li, you are not joking.
If he really thinks that as the great star refiner of the empire, he will be lazy for a while to recover his star power and then escape through the air, he...
Really will die.
…
When Li Ma fell outside the courtyard where she lived again, Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and others had already rushed over.
Although the fight between him and Zhang Dongwang was almost one-sided, the noise caused by this level of confrontation still shocked the entire Hualong Mountain.
It was naturally impossible for Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and others to be unaware of this.
"Palace Master."
Seeing Li Ma, several people hurriedly stepped forward with shame on their faces: "It's because of our incompetence that the imperial envoy dared to show off his cruelty in our Hualong Mountain."
"Okay, no need to say any more unnecessary words, just do your own thing."
Li Ma said: "In addition, strengthen the defense of the black gold mining area. If you notice a strange star refiner sneaking into it, kill him on the spot. If you are a strong person who cannot resist, you can directly send a message to me for help."
"yes."
Shi Lihu was shocked and quickly agreed.
"What are the results of the experiment at the Corpse King's Palace?"
“Very smooth.”
Xinghui stepped forward and said: "At present, those living corpses have basically completed their transformation and evolved into corpse kings. In addition, we also discovered a special phenomenon. Using star tools to cultivate corpse kings is more effective than simply cultivating corpse kings with star crystals."
good."
After saying that, he quickly added: "Especially those star devices that have been used by people for a long time... It's like... there is a factor we don't know in it, which helps the transformation of the Corpse King, shortening the transformation time.
Nearly half the time.”
"In half the time?"
Li Ming thought for a moment.
A small amount of star crystals were invested in the cultivation of the Corpse King, and the transformation took more than a year.
If a large amount of star crystals are invested, the transformation time will be compressed to less than one year. The higher the quality of the star crystals, the higher the corpse king's transformation efficiency will be.
However, since the Martial Gods basically eliminate monsters in the black gold mining area and seize star crystals, the star crystals currently used to cultivate the Corpse King are mainly high-level ones, and the transformation time of the Corpse King is also about ten months.
And using a star device can shorten it by half...
That's five months.
You can get dozens of skill stones in five months...
"Then go and redeem the star device, or even implement a trade-in program."
Li Mu said and asked: "Besides the corpse king's hall, have you found other places to cultivate corpse kings?"
"No."
Xinghui shook his head: "We have tried many passes, but none of them are as effective as the Corpse King's Hall. The special location there gathers the death energy from all over the place and mixes it into a special energy, which can quickly complete the task from living corpse to corpse."
Due to the transformation of the king, corpse kings may be born in other areas, but it may take more than ten years or even decades, and it is full of uncontrollability."
After finishing speaking, he added: "Moreover, when the living corpses in the Corpse King's Hall exceed forty, it seems that insufficient special energy will cause the overall evolution to slow down."
"So, with enough old star weapons, we can only produce less than forty skill stones every six months?"
Li Midao.
"This is the conclusion drawn from our current research."
Xinghui nodded.
"Then let's do this for now."
Li Ma said: "In one month, when all the zombie kings have completed their transformation, I will clear them out once, and you should prepare in advance for a new round of corpse king training."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to Shi Lihu and Xie Longcheng and the others: "List the cultivation materials we need most. In one month, a trade will be held at the Xingwu Temple."
Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and others reacted very quickly. They immediately realized something and were shocked: "The palace master wants to... sell skill stones publicly!?"
Li Mu nodded.
He doesn't like to be secretive in his actions.
Anyway, the skill stones can no longer be hidden, so sell some of the skill stones to exchange them for the real top resources from various countries as trump cards, so as to quickly increase the strength of the Star Martial Temple.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he can withstand the empire's counterattack.
