Chapter 682 Wartime State
Wu Tao, Geng Xiangshu, and Lin Qijun left the meeting hall and returned to the war weapon hall.
"I'll be very busy in the future!" Geng Xiangshu sighed with emotion on the way.
Although Deputy Hall Master Luo said that they must complete the refining task in ten years, the refining task is huge, and the ten years mentioned above are actually very urgent.
"There is no other way. No matter how busy you are, you must complete the task. This is a matter of life and death for our Star Palace." Lin Qijun said.
Wu Tao nodded and said: "What Fellow Daoist Lin said is absolutely true. This is a major matter related to the survival of our Xingchen Sea Immortal World. The task must be completed. The three deputy hall masters just said that now our Xingchen Immortal Palace has entered into a wartime state.”
"Ten years will pass quickly if you endure it. As long as you successfully prevent the expansion of the forbidden sea, it will be worth it."
Ten years is a very short period of time for them, the golden elixir cultivators, and they may not even be able to break through to a small realm.
The three of them chatted trivially on the road, and soon returned to the War Weapon Hall. They separated and went back to their own departments.
When Wu Tao returned to the war boat department, the first thing he did was to summon the weapon refiners from the 12 weapon refinement halls and ask them to come over for a meeting, because he wanted to assign the tasks in the jade slips.
After the summons, before waiting for the third-level intermediate weapon refiners from the 12 weapon refining halls to come, Wu Tao read all the jade slips he received and briefly understood their refining tasks.
As the person in charge of the war boat department, Wu Tao holds the jade slips that allow him to know more comprehensive refining tasks, and thus he has a better understanding of the territory-breaking divine pillar.
"This divine-suppressing pillar actually requires a weapon refiner, a talisman master, and an array master to refine it together to create a complete divine-suppressing pillar."
And it must involve the fifth-level weapon refiner, the fifth-level talisman master, and the fifth-level formation mage.
Through this simple understanding, he also knew that there were ninety-nine and eighty-one pillars in this set, and each one required a huge amount of spiritual materials, because each of the pillars was extremely huge.
A set of ninety-nine and eighty-one territory-breaking divine pillars are all erected in the sea, forming a field similar to a formation, which can break the expansion of the forbidden sea.
"There are a total of 12 restricted areas in the Xingchen Sea Immortal Realm that are expanding, so 12 sets need to be refined, for a total of 972 territory-breaking divine pillars."
"I have only learned about the tip of the iceberg about this town-breaking divine pillar, and I know that it is extremely extraordinary. The God-Transforming Lord on it is really powerful. As soon as the forbidden sea expands, he has already thought of a way to prevent the forbidden sea from expanding. ."
Wu Tao yearned more and more for the God of Transformation.
But he is only at the 6th level of Jindan. It will take hundreds of years before he can be promoted to the realm of god transformation.
The road to immortality is long!
"In the Weapon Refining Masters Conference just now, the master of our Weapon Refining Hall did not show up. Wu Tao felt a little regretful in his heart. He thought he would be able to meet the fifth-level Weapon Refining Master in this Weapon Refining Masters Conference.
The fifth-level weapon refiner is the top class of weapon refiner in the Xingchen Sea Immortal Realm.
There are only three fifth-level weapon refiners in the three major immortal palaces.
"These three fifth-level weapon refiners are probably having a small meeting by themselves."
"By the way, I just heard Deputy Hall Master Luo say that he was going to the Xianyuan Realm to find his master. The Xianyuan Realm is very close to the Xingchen Sea Immortal Realm. The inheritance of the weapon refiner, the fourth-level array master and the fourth-level alchemist have all been passed down to the Lingxu Immortal Sect of the Immortal Realm. If this trouble occurs in the Xingchen Sea Immortal Realm, it makes sense for the Immortal Realm to help."
Wu Tao thought this way, but the Xianyuan Realm only provided help to the Xingchen Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm in the Xianyuan Realm, and did not come to the Xingchen Sea Cultivation Realm. Therefore, he would not be able to see his master Wen Xingrui for the time being.
"Ten years are indeed very tight, but in the future practice, Jiuyao Fusion Yangji Zhenqing and Zhoutian Xingchen body training skills must not be left behind. Cultivation is the foundation of everything." Wu Tao looked at the refining task in his hand , and quickly estimated that although this refining task was urgent, he could still maintain it with his daily practice.
After all, ordinary immortal cultivators may not be able to break through a small realm in ten years, but for him, he can improve to a small realm in ten years.
Within a quarter of an hour, the weapon refiners from the 12 weapon refinement halls had already arrived in front of Wu Tao.
After greeting Wu Tao, Wu Tao waved his hands and said to them: "Junior brothers, the detailed refining tasks above have been released. Our previous tasks of refining the war boat will be put aside for the time being, and we will focus on these tasks first."
"Next, I will assign the task to you."
Afterwards, Wu Tao began to assign tasks, subdividing them into each weapon refining hall. There are also mission rewards after completing the mission. This time, facing the expansion of the restricted area and the sea, the three Immortal Palaces and the Nine Immortal Sects need to work together as a community, so the mission rewards this time are extremely generous.
As the head of the warship department, Wu Tao takes care of all aspects, and his mission rewards are also very generous.
Seeing the reward from this mission, he decided that after he broke through to the late stage of the golden elixir, he would replace the level 7 spiritual fire and spiritual water used for daily practice with the eighth level spiritual fire and spiritual water.
In two years at most, he will be able to break through the seventh level of the Golden Core.
"Junior brothers, go back and prepare to understand now, and thoroughly understand the refining secrets in this jade slip as soon as possible. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Wu Tao finally said.
What they were refining was part of the Territory-breaking God Pillar.
As a third-level senior weapon refiner and the head of the war boat department, Wu Tao must first understand the jade slip method before he can guide them and let them understand it quickly and start the formal refining task.
"Yes, Senior Brother Li!" Gu Xingyuan and other third-level intermediate weapon masters from the 12 weapon refining halls bowed to Wu Tao and then returned to their own weapon refining halls.
After they left, Wu Tao remembered that A Yao was about to break through the eighth level of foundation building, and thought to himself: "I have been too busy these days, and I probably won't be able to protect A Yao.
"However, I believe Ayao can do it alone."
Thinking like this, he began to understand the jade slip in his hand.
…
At dusk, Wu Tao went back to Bixing Island.
Normally, he would stay in the war boat department for at most two hours before returning to Bixing Island, but this time, he stayed until almost sunset.
When he returned to Bixing Island, Chen Yao had just finished practicing.
Chen Yao's energy is becoming more and more perfect, and it seems that he will break through the eighth level of foundation building at any time.
Seeing Wu Tao coming back, Chen Yao asked, "Senior brother, why did you come back so late today?"
Wu Tao said: "Today the Weapon Refining Masters Conference was held in the hall. Regarding the expansion of the restricted area, our Weapon Refining Hall will be very busy next."
"When do you plan to break through the eighth level of foundation building?"
Chen Yao heard this and said: "I plan to break through the eighth level of foundation tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?! Ayao, senior brother may have to stay in the war boat department these days and cannot return to Bixing Island. You can break through on your own, I believe you can do it." Wu Tao said.
Chen Yao showed a confident smile on her face and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, you should do your work first. I have made many breakthroughs on my own when I was in Lingxu Sect."
"Okay, I'll spend more time with you today. I may have to stay in the warship department for the next ten days and a half." Wu Tao fondly touched Chen Yao's milk bag.
…
One month later.
On this morning, Wu Tao gathered the third-level intermediate weapon refiners from 12 weapon refining halls in the war boat department for a morning meeting to check their progress in understanding the secret manual for refining the components of the God-breaking Pillar in the Town.
As early as half a month ago, Wu Tao had thoroughly understood the jade slips of the refining secret manual, and had explained it several times to the third-level intermediate refining masters in the 12 refining halls.
After these third-level intermediate weapon refiners reported on their enlightenment progress, Wu Tao encouraged them with a few words, then dismissed them and asked them to return to their respective weapon refinement halls to continue their enlightenment.
"It's time to go, Fellow Daoist Su is probably urging him again." Wu Tao said this, and sure enough, the summons token in the storage bag on his waist moved again. Needless to say, it was Su Sanxian who was summoning him again.
Today is the day when Duan Mulei is promoted to the fourth level of low-level weapon refiner.
Duan Mulei was promoted to the fourth level of low-level weapon refiner, and he had already promised Wu Tao that he would invite Wu Tao to observe.
Su Sanxian, Yu Zhixin, and Liu Yidao were also invited.
"Uncle Duanmu originally expected to be promoted to the fourth-level low-level weapon refiner within half a year or one year, but now, with the expansion of the restricted area, the Immortal Palace is in urgent need of more fourth-level weapon refiners, so Deputy Hall Master Luo let Duanmu Uncle Master was promoted to the fourth level of low-level weapon refiner within a month, breaking Master Uncle Duanmu's original promotion plan."
"Uncle Duanmulei has been exposed to the knowledge of the fourth-level low-level weapon refining method for a long time, so he should be confident, right?"
As for Duan Mulei, Wu Tao still very much hopes that he can be promoted to the fourth level of low-level weapon refiner.
This time, because Deputy Hall Master Luo went to the Xianyuan Realm, Duan Mulei was protected by the Deputy Hall Master Xiong during the promotion process.
Therefore, Duanmulei's promotion this time is the promotion process of the fourth-level low-level weapon refiner in the weapon refining hall of the master of the war weapon hall, Xiong Palace.
Wu Tao soon arrived at the training hall in the main hall of the Xiong Hall Master.
I met Palace Master Xiong, Duan Mulei, Su Sanxian, Yu Zhixin, Liu Yidao and others.
Wu Tao did not come late, it was just that Su Sanxian, Yu Zhixin, Liu Yidao and the other three had come early. Therefore, after seeing Wu Tao arriving, they greeted each other while Duan Mulei was still making preparations.
A quarter of an hour later, Duan Mulei was finally ready for promotion.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Tao, Yu Zhixin, Su Sanxian, and Liu Yidao saluted Duanmulei.
After Duanmulei returned the gift to the four people, he looked at Hall Master Xiong and cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Xiong, I'm ready!"
Palace Master Xiong nodded and said, "That being the case, then, Junior Brother Duanmu, let's get started. You can refine weapons as you normally would. I will do everything."
"Yes, Brother Xiong."
After Duanmulei said this, he began to refine the fourth-level low-level magic weapon and was officially promoted to the fourth-level low-level weapon refiner.
Wu Tao and others released their spiritual thoughts from the side and observed carefully with their spiritual thoughts.
Time passed slowly. Duan Wu Lei was a veteran weapon refiner after all. The refining process was in an orderly manner. At sunset, he finally successfully refined the fourth-level low-level magic weapon.
The moment the fourth-level low-level magic weapon was refined, Wu Tao and others instantly felt that the magic weapon suspended in front of Duanmulei exuded the aura of the fourth-level magic weapon.
They had already seen Wen Xingrui's promotion to the fourth-level low-level weapon refiner. This was the second time to observe the process of being promoted to the fourth-level low-level weapon refiner. They couldn't help but compare each other in their hearts.
"It is the Master Wentang of Lingxu Immortal Sect who is more talented in weapon refining." Although they are third-level advanced weapon refiners and have not yet reached the threshold of fourth-level weapon refiners, they can still see something in the way of weapon refining. Doorway.
From the overall refining process, Wen Xingrui is indeed more stable and the refining speed is faster than Duan Mulei. From this point, it can be seen that Wen Xingrui's weapon refining talent is indeed higher than Duan Mulei.
"Congratulations to Uncle Duanmu for successfully being promoted to the fourth level of weapon refiner."
When Duanmulei held the fourth-level low-level magic weapon in his hand, Wu Tao, Su Sanxian, Yu Zhixin, and Liu Yidao expressed their congratulations to Duanmulei.
If Duan Mulei is successfully promoted to the fourth level of low-level weapon refining master, he will be granted the title of deputy hall master by the weapon refining hall. From now on, there will be four deputy hall masters in Xingchen Immortal Palace.
"Thank you so much, my nephews." Duanmulei showed joy on his face and handed over to Wu Tao and the others.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Duanmu." Palace Master Xiong also expressed congratulations to Duanmu Lei.
Duanmulei took his newly refined fourth-level low-level magic weapon, walked towards the Lord Xiong, handed it over, and thanked him first: "Thank you, Senior Brother Xiong, for being here to protect me. I am not very talented. I have refined this fourth-level low-level magic weapon for the first time. Please give it to Xiong." Senior brother tastes it!”
Palace Master Xiong took the magic weapon and began to check it. After he finished checking it, he thought to himself: "Junior Brother Duanmu's talent in weapon refining is indeed not as good as that of Wen Xingrui from the Lingxu Immortal Sect. Wen Xingrui is very likely to be promoted to the fifth level weapon refiner." ."
A fifth-level weapon refiner is the top weapon refiner in the Xingchen Sea Immortal World. A fifth-level master of the four arts is even rarer than the God of Transformation.
However, Wen Xingrui is after all the top weapon refiner in the Xianyuan world. It is normal for him to have that kind of talent for weapon refinement. Quan should be regarded as the son of the world.
He made a comparison in his mind, but in his mouth, Palace Master Xiong did not say it directly, but said: "Okay, the magic weapon that Junior Brother Duanmu refined for the first time has such quality. Senior Brother, I was not as good as it before. You are so good at studying the art of weapon refining. It’s impossible to say that Junior Brother Duanmu will be needed to take charge of the Weapon Refining Hall in the future.”
Duan Mulei heard this and said humbly: "Senior Brother Xiong is joking. Senior Brother Xiong and Senior Brother Luo are better at refining weapons than I am. The Weapon Refining Hall will depend on you two in the future."
Palace Master Xiong returned the magic weapon to Duanmulei and said: "Junior Brother Duanmu, now is an important period. Logically speaking, you have been promoted to the fourth level of low-level weapon refining master. The Immortal Palace and the weapon refining hall will hold a grand ceremony for you. But you also know it now, so the Artifact Refining Hall has decided to authorize you to be the Vice Hall Master of the Artifact Refining Hall first. After ten years, they will invite the other two Immortal Palaces and the Nine Immortal Sects to hold a Vice Hall Ceremony for you. Hall Master Ceremony.”
Duanmulei nodded when he heard this and said: "Senior Brother Xiong, I understand that this is a critical moment. We should wait until the deputy hall master's ceremony has passed. I'm not in a hurry, Junior Brother."
Anyway, he is now the deputy hall master of the Weapon Refining Hall, and his status and salary have also increased. He can hold the ceremony and hold it in the future.
It was also because it was a critical moment, so after Duanmulei was promoted to the fourth-level low-level weapon refiner, Wu Tao, Yu Zhixin, Su Sanxian and other third-level high-level weapon refiners left and returned to their posts.
Wu Tao returned to the war boat department and took out the summons token to summon Chen Yao, saying that he would go back to Bixing Island today.
In the past month, he has not returned to Bixing Island, and rarely has time to send a message to Chen Yao. Only on the day when Chen Yao broke through to the eighth level of foundation building, no matter how busy he was, he sent a message to Chen Yao to ask if Chen Yao had any Successful breakthrough.
After learning that Chen Yao had successfully broken through, Wu Tao put all his thoughts on the Weapon Refining Hall.
There is no way, the current state is already on the same level as the wartime state.
…
Have a healthy Dragon Boat Festival everyone.
