Chapter 246: The Ancestor’s Gift
Chen Jiu really didn't expect that just making weapons would consume tens of millions of kilograms of iron essence, and just making armor would consume five million kilograms of copper essence. He didn't even have so much iron essence and copper essence at the moment!
However, he still had to find a way to gather the iron essence and copper essence, because ordinary weapons could not hurt the elite of the imperial court who practiced the awakening technique, and armor made of ordinary materials could not withstand the attack of magical powers.
What should I do?
If we rely on the Qingyang Zhang family's sales, we will definitely not be able to collect the money within half a month, because the Qingyang Zhang family only organizes sales once a month, and even if all the immortal weapons are exchanged for iron essence and copper essence, they can only be exchanged for millions of kilograms at a time.
Where could he get so much iron and copper essence?
Originally, he emptied the gold kingdoms of several True Lords and thought that he had more than enough materials to use up. But now, when he counted them all, not even a fraction of them was enough, because he only received three or four million kilograms of refining materials in total, and nearly half of them were gold essence and silver essence.
He didn't have much iron and copper essence left in stock, because most of his stock was used up in refining the big Guandao and waist swords for more than three thousand demon fairies. The big Guandao of two thousand monkey demon fairies meant more than two million kilograms of iron and copper essence. What's more, the Honghuang Divine Cauldron was still refining other immortal and divine weapons. In order to save money, this guy mostly used iron and copper essence.
At the moment, the relatively precious gold and silver essences were in short supply, and the iron and copper essences were not enough at all.
There was no other way. He could only ask Chang'er Zhenjun and others for help. Otherwise, he would not be able to gather so much iron essence and copper essence in such a short time.
Thinking of this, he simply took out all the iron essence and copper essence from the Gold Divine Kingdom and gave them to several disciples, then quickly flashed back to Jiuling Mountain.
Chang'er Zhenjun and the others had nothing to do at the moment. Apart from teaching Zhang Wanxia the skills to control the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, all they had left was to teach everyone the various branches of the Heavenly Dao.
When he returned to Jiuling Mountain, a few guys had captured the Yunxia Beast and were teaching it a lesson.
When Chang Er Zhenjun saw him suddenly running back, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master Jiu, why did you come back so early today?"
Chen Jiu rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Well, I'm short of iron essence and copper essence, so I came to you for help."
Upon hearing this, Chang Er Zhen Jun immediately pulled out more than 200,000 kilograms of iron essence and more than 100,000 kilograms of copper essence from the gold-type immortal palace, and said generously: "This stuff is not valuable anyway, take it and use it."
Oh, this guy has some stuff.
However, this is not enough.
Chen Jiu was still a little embarrassed and said, "Master Rabbit, how can I do this? Otherwise, you can calculate how much the elixir is worth, and I will exchange it with you."
Chang Er Zhenjun shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? How can I take your elixir? I refined these materials to exchange for artifacts, but you directly gave me a set of artifacts. There is no use for me to keep these materials. If you want to use them, just take them.
This amount of material is not even enough to exchange for half a divine weapon, how can I have the nerve to ask you for the elixir."
The key point is not enough.
Chen Jiu thought about it and said bluntly: "I am short of a lot of iron essence and copper essence, this is not enough."
"You should have told me earlier. We still have more."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Wuyun and others immediately took out all the iron and copper essences from their gold-based kingdom.
The iron and copper essences in front of him immediately piled up into two small hills.
However, the iron essence is less than two million jin, and the copper essence is only about ten thousand jin, which is still far from enough.
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, but still said awkwardly: "Well, I need tens of millions of kilograms of iron essence and five million kilograms of copper essence. These are still not enough. I want to ask Lord Rabbit to go back to the God Realm and help me exchange some."
My God, tens of millions of kilograms of iron essence and five million kilograms of copper essence!
Upon hearing this, Chang Er Zhen Jun nodded slowly and said, "We really need to go back to the God Realm to exchange so much iron and copper essence. What do you want to exchange? I will exchange it for you. It just so happens that I also need to go back to the God Realm to talk to the ancestor about the situation here."
What can I exchange?
As for the magic weapon, probably no one in the God Realm would want it. Several of his disciples haven't even got one yet, so he can only exchange it for magic pills.
Chen Jiu thought about it, then asked: "What is the approximate exchange rate for the immortal pills to iron essence and copper essence?"
Chang Er Zhenjun estimated: "One immortal pill can be exchanged for 10,000 kilograms of copper essence. If it is iron essence, one immortal pill can be exchanged for at least 15,000 kilograms."
Chen Jiu made a rough estimate, then took out eighty bottles of elixirs and said solemnly: "Well, please exchange them for nine million catties of iron essence and three million catties of copper essence for me."
Chang Er Zhenjun took the elixir and asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I will leave. I don't know when the next batch of support from Hongmeng Sect will arrive. I have to rush back as soon as possible."
Chen Jiu thought for a moment, and then asked carefully: "Do you have the formula and refining method of the magic pill in Tongtian Sect? If so, please bring it to me first. You can exchange it for as many immortal pills or even magic pills as you want. Tell them that you owe me first. I will definitely not default on my debt."
Chang Er Zhenjun nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll go ask for you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll try to come back within five days."
After saying that, he spread his golden wings, flew into the sky, and rushed towards the northeast.
True Lord Wuyun and others looked at his golden wings, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in their eyes. This thing was really convenient for traveling.
Chen Jiu secretly kept it in mind, then collected the iron essence and copper essence, said goodbye to them, and quickly returned to Sishui Pass.
He returned to the barracks where weapons were forged, called a few disciples together, handed them the iron and copper essences, and then explained in detail: "The iron essence is far from enough. If you have some free time, you can focus on making armor first. There should be enough materials in five days."
In the next few days, the construction of Sishui Pass was in full swing. More and more city defense facilities were built above and below the originally empty city walls. The streets and roads on the flat ground that were originally full of farmland gradually became denser like a spider web. However, the iron and copper essences used to make weapons and armor were about to be exhausted.
There are nearly 100,000 soldiers in the Divine Blood Camp. If each of them makes a weapon weighing dozens of kilograms every day, it would consume millions of kilograms of iron essence. What's more, weapons like the big Guandao and tower shield weigh more than dozens of kilograms.
Fortunately, four days later, before noon, Chang Er Zhenjun hurried back.
He flew directly to Sishui Pass, found Chen Jiu who was checking everywhere, and said with a proud smile: "How about it, is Master Rabbit fast enough?"
Chen Jiu was quite surprised and asked, "You have exchanged all the materials so quickly?"
Chang Er Zhenjun said without hesitation: "Of course, there are plenty of such common materials in the market, as many as you want."
There is also a market?
It seems that I must go to the divine realm when I have time.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then brought Chang Er Zhen Jun to the barracks where weapons were forged, raised his hand and said, "Just put the iron essence and copper essence in two rows along the barracks."
Upon hearing this, Chang'er Zhenjun nodded slightly, and then his spiritual consciousness moved, and the row of barracks was filled with iron essence and copper essence.
Now we finally have enough materials.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but said with hope on his face: "Master Rabbit, have you found the formula and refining method of the magic pill?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Er Zhenjun mysteriously pulled him outside the barracks, found a corner where no one was, and then took out a jade slip and said solemnly: "Master Jiu, I found this for you, but you must remember that you must not pass it on to others. Although these are just the formulas and refining methods , they are also quite rare in the divine world."
Chen Jiu took the jade slip with a serious look on his face, nodded slowly and said: "I understand, don't worry, I will never tell anyone else, how many immortal pills or divine pills are needed for this thing, you tell me, I will prepare them."
Unexpectedly, Chang Er Zhen Jun actually shook his head slightly and said: "This is given to you by the ancestor. You don't need an elixir or a magic pill. The ancestor said that as long as you can remember his kindness, it will be fine."
Ugh, something this precious is given away for free!
It seems that Patriarch Tongtian is also a man of temperament, and such a person is worth making friends with.
Chen Jiu nodded solemnly and said, "I will definitely remember it. I will never forget it."
Upon hearing this, Chang Er Zhen Jun immediately waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'm going back first. I've been flying in the sky these past few days and I haven't had a chance to catch my breath. I want to go back and have a good rest."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
This guy is too lazy to fly, he is really exhausted.
When Chen Jiu saw that Chang'er Zhenjun had disappeared, he put the jade slip on his forehead and examined it carefully.
When he saw this, he was stunned.
Chang Er Zhenjun was right, here is the formula and refining method of ordinary magic pills.
However, what is recorded in it is not the formula and refining method of one or two kinds of magical pills, but the formula and refining methods of dozens of magical pills, and all five elements are covered, with more than ten kinds of magical pills in each series!
I’m afraid that Patriarch Tongtian has spent all his family fortune on him!
He was really moved by this generous gift.
He understood that Patriarch Tongtian was afraid that he could not find the recipe for a certain magic pill, so he gave him all the recipes he could find.
There are indeed many magical herbs and elixirs here that he has never heard of, let alone mix them.
There are only about ten kinds of magic pill recipes that he can prepare, and most of the immortal herbs and elixirs have to be collected from the wood-type kingdom of Qingyuan Zhenjun and others. If it weren't for the kingdom of these Zhenjuns, he might not be able to prepare a single magic pill recipe.
The next step is to refine the magic pill. I wonder how long it will take the Honghuang Divine Cauldron to refine a magic pill.
He hurried into the barracks, preparing to say a few words to a few disciples before going to consult with the Great God Cauldron, but Yu Dayou said carefully: "Master, can you enlighten some earthly immortals like you enlightened us? If we can also set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation at Sishui Pass, then we won't be afraid of other people's True Lords rushing in to cause trouble."
Uh, you thought I had endless elixirs!
I'm kidding. To enlighten one earth immortal, that would require two bottles of elixirs. If there are a hundred, that would require two hundred bottles. To set up the formation of ten thousand immortals, you would need at least a hundred earth immortals. I can't even get together two hundred bottles of elixirs now. How can I enlighten so many earth immortals?
He was able to enlighten quite a few demon fairies. He had not consumed many Blood Soul Pills during this period, so he still had some in stock.
However, this thing cannot be given away for free, and people cannot be made to think that becoming an immortal is so easy.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said solemnly: "Tell all the soldiers of the Liuhe Army that as long as they practice the method of opening their minds to reach the level of Great Spiritual Officer or practice the monster skills to reach the level of Monster King, I will give them Immortal Pills and Blood Soul Pills to help them become immortals as soon as possible."
If calculated based on the concentration of spiritual energy outside, these soldiers would have to practice for at least several decades to reach the level of great spiritual officers. However, the concentration of spiritual energy in his immortal residence and divine kingdom is at least hundreds of times that of the outside world. Perhaps, some of those with better aptitude could practice to the level of great spiritual officers in just one or two months.
As for the soldiers who practice the way of Qi and blood, the demon energy in his demon power space will be of greater help to them. I believe that as long as they work hard to absorb the demon energy and practice hard, it is possible to reach the level of demon king in one month.
In short, he wanted to let the soldiers of the Liuhe army fight for the opportunity to become immortals themselves. In this way, they would know how to cherish it and work hard to practice.
