Chapter 116: Top Grade Golden Pill
While Qin Mo was in seclusion, it was quite lively outside.
His various actions in the Water Margin fantasy were soon spread by gossipers, causing everyone to speculate about Qin Mo's cultivation level.
Some people suspected that Qin Mo had some means of hiding his cultivation.
"At least it is the late stage of foundation building."
As for the mysterious inheritance that Qin Mo had mentioned before, no one doubted it. Otherwise, it could not explain how Qin Mo could be so knowledgeable and why his methods were so powerful.
In addition to Qin Mo, news about Taoism also slowly spread.
The mysterious performance of Xiao Yang, Wang Le and his companions has been interpreted in various ways by players. Some say they are retired professional players, some say they are lone rangers, and some say they are children of reclusive aristocratic families.
There are many different opinions.
And in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, because of Qin Mo's outstanding performance, the undercurrent that had been brewing due to his long absence from the court disappeared just like that.
This shows how famous Qin Mo is.
…
Two months later.
When Qin Mo opened his eyes again, he had already achieved a top-grade golden elixir.
Apart from the fact that his root bones were improved by another point and his magic power and blood were stronger, everything else was no different from the first time he formed the golden elixir, because the biggest change was in the golden elixir itself.
After forming the elixir this time, Qin Mo can really start refining his own magic weapon.
There is only one natal magic weapon recorded in "Shenxiao Zhenfa" - Shenxiao Palace. Although it is named "Palace", its specific form is flexible and changeable. It can be a palace, a pagoda, a cave, a map of mountains and rivers, etc.
In his previous life, Qin Mo chose the pagoda form - the Jiutian Xuansha Pagoda.
Considering that it is easy to use, Qin Mo is still planning to refine the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sha Tower this time, which can be divided into three shapes: six-story, nine-story, and twelve-story.
It is rumored that there are eighteen levels, but no one has ever succeeded in refining it.
The biggest feature of Shenxiao Palace is its expandability. For example, the Jiutian Xuansha Pagoda, in addition to the pagoda itself, can also integrate other treasures into each floor to derive new functions.
If there are not enough treasures to stack, the twelfth floor is no different from the sixth floor.
In addition to the shape, the Jiutian Xuansha Pagoda is divided into two versions: miniature and giant, so that disciples can choose the appropriate style according to their ability.
It is very thoughtful.
The miniature version is said to be a pagoda, but in fact it is just a small tower, less than half a meter high, the kind that can be held in the hand, no different from an ordinary magic weapon.
The giant version is even more amazing. After being enlarged, its size is the same as the real pagoda in reality.
For example, the golden palace on the top of Shenxiao Mountain is the transformation of the immortal leader’s natal magic weapon - Shenxiao Palace. It is full of mysteries and is extremely magical.
Due to the limitations of the size of the miniature version, many treasures simply cannot be incorporated.
The giant version does not have this shortcoming. You can recreate the world inside it. Its plasticity far exceeds that of the miniature version, and it can truly bring out the characteristics of the Shenxiao Palace.
The miniature version sounds nice, but it is actually a low-profile, simplified version created by the sect’s senior leaders to meet the needs of ordinary disciples.
However, although the giant version is good, not everyone can make it.
Nothing else.
For the same magical weapon, the giant version requires hundreds or thousands of times more refining materials than the miniature version. How could an ordinary disciple get enough of them?
In order to build the Shenxiao Palace, the head of the Shenxiao sect spent a hundred years just collecting materials.
Qin Mo had already made up his mind to refine a giant version.
Although the refining materials on Blue Star are not as abundant as those in the Earthly Immortal World, they are now in an "unused" state and can be bought as long as you have money.
There is really no reason to leave a mountain of treasure unused.
…
On this day, after quitting "Honghuang", Qin Mo rarely came to the studio.
"What a rare guest." Li Bingyun teased.
Ever since Qin Mo focused his attention on Blackwater City, he has become less and less concerned about the affairs of the Daqin Studio and may not come here once a month.
With Qin Mo's temperament, he was naturally calm and bounced back all the ridicule, saying: "Let me tell you something."
"Go ahead."
Joking aside, Qin Mo is the boss after all, so Li Bingyun doesn't dare to be too presumptuous. Moreover, she doesn't know if it's an illusion, but she feels that Qin Mo's demeanor is becoming more and more calm.
In reality, I once had the feeling of facing the imperial tutor in "Honghuang".
Qin Mo said: "Help me contact an agent to acquire a company engaged in mineral trading, the sooner the better."
"Are you planning to invest in industry?" Li Bingyun asked.
"I guess so." Qin Mo nodded.
Of course not!
He acquired the company purely for the convenience of purchasing various types of minerals. After all, it is difficult to buy enough minerals in China in an individual's name.
Even the most common iron ore.
"But why is it mineral trade?" Li Bingyun was a little confused. It was really difficult to combine it with Qin Mo's professional background.
I always feel that it doesn't make sense.
"Don't worry about it." Qin Mo waved his hand. "The target of acquisition doesn't need to have a good business situation. As long as it has relevant qualifications and procurement channels, the cheaper the better ."
Before coming, Qin Mo did some calculations. The retained funds in the studio's public account, plus the funds transferred to his personal account by Wei Tianli and others, added together were less than 2 billion.
If this money is purely for personal enjoyment, then it will naturally not be spent in a lifetime. But if you want to acquire a trading company and add the subsequent ore purchases, then it will not be enough.
Have to find a way to continue making money.
In addition to a certain amount of rare ores, in order to refine the Jiutian Xuansha Tower, Qin Mo also needs to purchase large amounts of common ores such as iron ore and copper ore, and refine them into iron essence and copper essence.
The project is extremely large.
"Okay then, leave it to me." Seeing Qin Mo being so strong, Li Bingyun didn't say much.
She's just an employee.
…
After leaving the studio, Qin Mo went to the suburbs and rented a large warehouse.
Specially used to store purchased ore.
In order to cover up his tracks, Qin Mo would not be foolish enough to transport the ore bought from his "own company" to "Honghuang" for refining so blatantly.
How do we explain the whereabouts of these minerals over time?
His plan was that after the company was acquired, he would pretend to be an online buyer, go to his own company to buy ore, store it in a rented private warehouse, and then transport it into "Honghuang" without anyone noticing.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is the safest way.
As for why not skip the step of "acquiring a company" and directly find a trading company to do the transaction, that is naive. Without anyone saying hello, who would dare to sell to him?
The so-called trading company is an "intermediary" controlled by Qin Mo.
…
It was two months later before everything was done.
With the assistance of Li Bingyun, Qin Mo invested 100 million yuan to buy a mineral trading company on the verge of bankruptcy - Xinghuo Ore Trading Co., Ltd.
Afterwards, Qin Mo expressed his desire to purchase ore on a long-term basis through the Internet and contacted the company's general manager Zhao Quan on VX, and also sent a list of ore requirements.
Zhao Quan didn't dare to make the decision, so he came to ask Qin Mo for instructions.
"Is it illegal to sell it online?" Qin Mo asked deliberately.
"Not really. The government hasn't banned it." Zhao Quan was a shrewd man who understood everything. "This kind of thing belongs to a semi-gray area. The people won't report it, and the government won't investigate it."
"Then sell it. We can't let the company go bankrupt, right?" Qin Mo said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
In order to keep his job, and with Qin Mo's approval, what else does Zhao Quan have to worry about?
The rest is easy.
Qin Mo played the trick of taking in with his left hand and taking out with his right hand. A steady stream of ore was sent to the warehouse, and then carried by him into the refining room of the ancestral temple in Blackwater City.
Started a journey of refining equipment day and night.
The entire refining process is divided into three steps. The first step is what Qin Mo is doing now, which is to refine the ore into real refining materials - iron essence, copper essence, silver essence, gold essence, etc.
The second step is to use refining materials to refine the basic components of magic tools.
It can be understood that in reality, in order to build a pagoda, one needs to first prepare building materials by firing bricks and tiles, carving wooden components, etc.
The third step is the real refining of the weapon, which is to combine these basic components together, carve formations and runes on them, and add a personal imprint to make it a real magical weapon.
Even if everything goes well, the three steps will take at least a year.
There is still a long way to go.
