This middle-aged monk was only at the peak level of Nascent Soul, and when he spoke to Zhenjun Xiaofeng, a monk in the early stages of divine transformation, he had no intention of being polite.
It seems that his status is not low either.
His words were disrespectful, but Zhenjun Xiaofeng was not angry.
"Palace Master Zhang, although the couple in charge this week are monks in your Weapon Refining Hall, as the sect leader, I can draw manpower from each hall, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
This middle-aged monk is indeed the senior brother of Liu Jingtao, the master and deputy master of the Weapon Refining Hall.
Their master is a monk in the middle stage of becoming a god, and his cultivation level is higher than that of Zhenjun Xiaofeng.
Although I have never heard that the mid-level monk surnamed Chen is serving in the sect, no one dares to underestimate him.
After all, in the world of immortality, strength is the right to speak.
Palace Master Zhang smiled and said: "If it is normal, it will not be a problem to mobilize one or two stewards.
But now is wartime, and all palaces are extremely short of manpower.
Guanshi Zhou's weapon refining methods are very clever, and he can repair magic weapons very quickly. One person can defeat three or five people.
The sect master had seen the magic weapon he repaired before, and he was definitely not dealing with it casually.
If such a talented person is allowed to refine elixirs, the losses will be huge."
True Lord Xiao Feng still did not give up: "It is true that the Weapon Refining Hall is short of manpower, but the Pill Hall also needs manpower.
Since Manager Zhou has this ability, he should naturally use it."
Palace Master Zhang responded tit-for-tat: "Sect Master should also know that in a war, the only elixirs needed are healing and restorative ones.
If there is no large-scale battle and the two sides test each other, the monk's spiritual energy consumption is very small, there are not many injuries, and the elixir consumption is likely to be zero.
But magic weapons are different. As long as there is any battle between the two sides, regardless of the scale, equipment losses are inevitable.
I am in charge of logistics supplies on Jinshi Island, and I know exactly how much elixir is left.
If the current situation continues, the stored elixirs will be enough for ten years.
Even during a decisive battle between the two sides, the consumption of elixirs would increase, and the battle at the level of a decisive battle could not be maintained for a long time.
With the capabilities of the Bone Palace, if there was a showdown, how long could they last?
It can be said that the existing elixirs can fully support the destruction of the Bone Palace.
However, magical artifacts have always been in short supply, and damaged magical artifacts have piled up in the warehouse.
If we don't seize the time to repair it, I'm afraid we won't have any magic weapon available in a short time.
I also ask the sect leader to put the overall situation of the sect first, and be cautious and wait until after the war to solve the problem."
Although he was contradicting True Lord Sao Feng, what he said was reasonable and well-founded.
The major forces attack each other, and the consumption rate of elixirs is indeed not as fast as that of magic weapons.
After saying this, Zhenjun Xiaofeng was speechless.
After being stunned for a long time, he snorted coldly and walked away.
Palace Master Zhang no longer looked as arrogant and domineering as before. Instead, he said to Wang Daoyuan very kindly: "Steward Zhou is coming with me."
Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan followed him to a cave. The cave was extremely spacious, and the entrance was a semicircle with a diameter of more than ten feet.
After entering the cave, it is more spacious inside.
Moreover, there are many forks in this cave.
Near the entrance of the cave, there are some tables and chairs.
Palace Master Zhang said with a smile: "The conditions are a bit crude, which made the two stewards laugh."
Wang Daoyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Dianzhu Zhang's body of ten thousand gold is not too humble. Our husband and wife are from loose cultivators, and there are many situations where we have no place to stay. We are very satisfied if we have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
It’s just that my subordinates find this cave a little strange, it doesn’t look like a cave, but a bit like a mine.”
Palace Master Zhang smiled and said: "Guanshi Zhou is indeed a master of weapon refining. This cave was indeed a mine before.
In fact, the entire Jinshi Island is a huge mine.
The Bihai Shenjin produced here, as well as several other refining materials, are of quite good quality and are of high value.
It turns out that Jinshi Island is the resource center of the Bone Palace.
We used some tricks before to capture this Golden Stone Island.
The Palace of Bones refused to give up and counterattacked many times.
Finally, our Zhenhaizong placed the former enemy's headquarters here, and more than 80% of its manpower was placed here.
If that side dares to attack again, it will be a decisive battle.
The White Bone Palace is far inferior to our Zhenhai Sect, so we gave up on Jinshi Island.
The rock on the island is extremely hard, making it extremely laborious to open the cave.
Therefore, these mines were used and transformed into caves and warehouses."
Wang Daoyuan reminded: “Mines that have been mined for many years usually have a lot of side roads.
If the Bone Palace hides its manpower in the mine, wouldn't it be very dangerous for our supplies to be placed in the mine?"
Palace Master Zhang waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, these mines have been searched before and there is nothing abnormal.
Moreover, there are also heavy formations set up inside.
Even if there are monks from the Bone Palace hiding inside, there is nothing they can do against the great formation."
Seeing that he was very interested in talking, Wang Daoyuan tried a few words.
"Master of the Palace, we and I are just small stewards.
Although the weapon refining method is not bad, it is not worth fighting for with you, right?
Why did the sect master ask us and my wife to join the Pill Hall in public?"
Normally, such a sensitive topic would definitely involve the secrets of the sect's top brass, but Hall Master Zhang didn't care.
"This matter is not a secret. If you two entered the sect earlier, you should also know these things.
Now the highest-ranking person in the sect is the Grand Elder, Lord Broken Star. All major decisions are made by him, but he does not live long.
When I was supporting the Blood Shark Bandits earlier, I fought with a powerful enemy and was injured.
Once a monk nearing the end of his life is injured, he will easily die prematurely.
Now we have to take down the Palace of Bones, which is likely to cause more injuries.
Therefore, he wanted to choose a successor.
Currently, the only ones who are capable of competing are Zhenjun Xiaofeng and my master.
My master has a higher level of cultivation, but Zhenjun Xiaofeng is a wind attribute monk and his strength is not inferior to that of my master.
Lord Shattered Star God may have died during this battle, or died shortly after the war.
Which faction has made greater contributions in this war, the Lord Shattered Star will favor whomever.
You and your wife are extremely skilled in refining weapons. You can repair magic weapons much faster than me. Naturally, you have made many achievements in this way.
You are a member of the Weapon Refining Hall, and you have made many meritorious deeds, which are also helpful to the Master.
If True Lord Xiao Feng drags you to the Elixir Hall, the credit of the Weapon Refining Hall will be much less, and the credit of the Elixir Hall will be much more.
Otherwise, how could Zhenjun Xiaofeng bully the younger ones and make me, a Nascent Soul cultivator, blush and blush?"
Wang Daoyuan understood that at this time, it was not how valuable he and Zhou Luan were, but just becoming weights on the scale.
The scale is originally completely balanced. Although these two weights are small, they may have a huge impact on the balance.
Even if the final outcome cannot be determined, no one wants to give their opponent an extra weight.
The Weapon Refining Hall had taken the upper hand, and Zhenjun Xiaofeng was trying to make amends. This led to the previous dispute.
From the words of Palace Master Zhang, Wang Daoyuan also gained a lot.
Especially the state of the Star-Shattering God Lord. Back then, this guy was head-to-head with the Duanhai Shenjun of the Yuheng Sword Sect, and he didn't fall behind in the slightest.
The strength he showed at that time was much stronger than the ordinary Hundred Treasure God Lord and Earth Splitting God Lord.
Now that he knew that his life was short, Wang Daoyuan felt relieved a lot.
"It would be an honor for me to help Senior Chen gain the favor of Lord Shattered Star God."
Palace Master Zhang smiled and said: "You don't have to be so humble, Master values you very much.
After this battle, he should accept you as a registered disciple.
When the time comes, we will treat each other as brothers and sisters."
Wang Daoyuan immediately began to show his loyalty and made Hall Master Zhang laugh.
After chatting for a long time, Palace Master Zhang sent someone to arrange a place for them both.
Jinshi Island produces ore, and its scale is not small. Naturally, there is also a fire chamber for smelting ore on the island.
Now the underground fire room has been renovated and turned into a place for alchemy and weapon refining.
Without waiting for the order from Palace Master Zhang, Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan took the remaining nine ordinary weapon-refining disciples, found a relatively spacious weapon-refining room, and began to repair the remaining broken magic weapons.
Although one hand was lost, it did not cause any harm.
Originally, the work of ordinary disciples was relatively easy. Even if there were only two or three people, they could do a good job.
There are still nine people left, so naturally it's not a problem.
Among these nine people, Feng Lin can't work.
After he got here, he started looking for his friends.
The war on the front line was tense, and the monks of Zhenhaizong were always tense and prone to problems.
Therefore, pubs and gambling houses were temporarily opened on Jinshi Island.
The monks who are not on duty can go out to drink and gamble.
A second-rate guy like Feng Lin naturally drinks and gambles with his friends every day.
However, it's not like he doesn't do his job all day long.
Every time I come back from drinking and gambling, I can bring back a lot of information.
After staying on Jinshi Island for more than half a year, Wang Daoyuan already had a general understanding of the war there.
So far, Zhenhaizong has advanced to more than 100,000 miles southwest of Jinshi Island.
The front line is already less than 200,000 miles away from the mountain gate of the Bone Palace.
Although this distance is far from being at the gate of the city, it is not far away.
In the past half year, there have been many confrontations between the two sides.
Zhenhaizong's tens of thousands of years of heritage still played an important role at this time.
Whether it is the number of Nascent Souls and Golden Core cultivators, or the number of flying warships and puppets, they are all far above those of the Bone Palace.
Both sides fought a war of attrition, and the Palace of Bones was naturally at a complete disadvantage.
In the past half year, the Bone Palace rarely took the initiative to attack.
He just guarded his own island and relied on the defensive formations on the island to deal with the Zhenhai Sect.
Unfortunately, the formation inheritance of the White Bone Palace is very poor, and its defensive power is only that much.
At least in front of Zhenhaizong, he was completely vulnerable.
An island can only last a few days in front of Zhenhaizong's army.
If the Zhenhai Sect had not been cautious, they might have reached the mountain gate of the Bone Palace long ago.
The sect leader has also left Jinshi Island with a large number of monks.
Now, although Jinshi Island is still the former enemy headquarters, it serves more of a logistics base.
The Lord Shattered Star and the Ten Thousand Years Corpse Puppet have never shown up.
Wang Daoyuan wanted to hide his identity, so naturally he did not dare to easily release his consciousness to explore around.
He was really not sure whether the Star-Shattering God Lord was on Jinshi Island now.
During this period of time, Wang Daoyuan had more and more weapon refining tasks.
Every day I have to repair one or two damaged magic weapons, and sometimes I have to join forces with other weapon refiners to repair severely damaged flying warships.
At this time, Wang Daoyuan was working together with Zhou Luan to repair a relatively complex crossbow-like magical weapon.
Suddenly, shouts of killing came from outside, and even the spiritual energy surged violently.
Wang Daoyuan quickly unfolded his consciousness to check the situation outside.
I saw more than ten flying warships due south of Jinshi Island, with bone flags hanging on the bows.
These warships are all attacking Jinshi Island's defensive formations. Jinshi Island's previous formations were very clever.
It was just that when the two sides fought, the original formation was destroyed.
The current formations are all temporarily arranged by Zhenhaizong.
Zhenhai Sect only regards Jinshi Island as a temporary place to stay, so naturally they won't spend much effort on setting up formations.
Therefore, the formation here is very general.
Soon, a peak Nascent Soul monk broke into Wang Daoyuan's weapon refining room. This man was the Lord Zhang of the weapon refining hall.
As soon as he came in, he said quickly: "Outside, there is a sneak attack from the Palace of Bones on Jinshi Island. We have been on guard against their attack for a long time.
Since they dare to come, they will never be able to escape.
You don’t need to panic, just keep doing what you are doing.”
At this moment, a loud bang came from the middle of Jinshi Island.
Palace Master Zhang’s expression changed immediately. That was where Jinshi Island’s warehouse was located.
Once something goes wrong there, the stored supplies may suffer heavy losses.
At this time, he couldn't care less about appeasing people's hearts.
The whole person turned into a huge fireball, flew out from the underground fire chamber, and flew towards the middle of Jinshi Island.
