Chapter 402: Secret Preparations
Jiuling Mountain, Prime Minister Huo’s office, in the study.
Chen Jiu and Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji sat opposite each other, thinking carefully.
He was planning to work with Patriarch Qingmu to trick the Hongmeng Sect, so naturally he had to plan it carefully.
It seems that he doesn't have to prepare a lot of things at this moment. To put it bluntly, he just needs to provide immortal weapons and divine weapons, and then use all the immortal herbs and elixirs that he has frantically purchased from Qingmufang City.
However, the quantities of these three things are so huge that it is impossible to prepare them without careful planning .
It’s like the immortal weapon. Originally, their output of this thing was astonishing. It was not a problem to refine hundreds of thousands of pieces in a month.
The problem is that Qingmufang City was unable to consume so many goods in the past, and after all the soldiers from the eight camps and the earth immortals and demons under his command were fully equipped, it would be useless to refine too many. Therefore, their output of immortal weapons has been cut to more than 100,000 pieces per month.
If they want to consume a large amount of Hongmeng Sect's elixirs through immortal artifacts in a short period of time, they will have to prepare at least one million immortal artifacts, because the immortal artifact business in Qingmufang City still has to be done, and Hongmeng Sect plans to order 300,000 sets of immortal armor and 300,000 immortal artifact weapons within half a year.
This amount was not considered much for them in the past, but it is a bit too much for them now.
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji could not help but sigh and said, "God, we need people to increase the production of these immortal weapons. Now we have 3,000 immortal-level refiners refining immortal weapons. They refine six furnaces a day and produce five immortal weapons, which is almost the limit. If we want to double the production, we must add more people.
The problem is that the earthly immortals are all in the divine realm and cannot come down. Where can we find so many gold-type and earth-type earthly immortals?"
This is actually quite simple. It only requires a few thousand earthly immortals. You can just randomly select some of them and it will be ready.
Chen Jiu thought about it and said decisively: "I will go to Dayou and draw 3,000 gold-type earth immortals and 3,000 earth-type earth immortals. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to conquer the world, and the noble families and the royal family have only a few true gods at most, so they don't need a very strong Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
Many of those gold-type and earth-type earth immortals should have learned to refine weapons before, right? They should be able to get started as soon as they come here, right?"
If we can draw troops from the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, then there will naturally be no problem.
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, many of the gold-type earth immortals and earth-type earth immortals who were incorporated into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation have learned to refine artifacts. It is unlikely that there are any who can refine five immortal artifacts a day, but there are still many who can refine three or four immortal artifacts a day."
That's fine, the next step is to refine the magic weapon and the elixir.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, and then asked: "How many artifacts can we refine in a month now? Are there any artifacts in surplus?"
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji said without hesitation: "God, now we can refine about 4,500 sets of divine armor and 4,500 divine swords every month. These divine armor and divine swords are not enough to distribute to the newly promoted true gods and demon gods. There is no surplus at all."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but frowned slightly.
This output is indeed a bit low, because now he not only has to cultivate the earthly immortals and demon immortals in the mortal world into true gods and demon gods, but he also has to start madly cultivating them in the realm of gods.
There are more than 500,000 earthly immortals and demon immortals in the mortal world. If we assume that it takes ten years to cultivate them into true gods and demon gods, that would mean more than 50,000 in a year and about 5,000 in a month.
Four thousand five hundred sets of artifacts a month are not enough to equip the true gods and demon gods in the mortal world.
Chen Jiu frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "How many magic alchemy furnaces do we have now?"
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji said without hesitation: "We now have 4,500 magic alchemy furnaces, 3,000 for refining tools and 1,500 for alchemy."
Chen Jiu was surprised and asked, "Why are there only more than 4,000? The materials that Lao Ding refined last time should be able to refine 5,000 magic alchemy furnaces. Adding the ones we bought from Qingmu Market, it should be more than 5,000, right?"
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji quickly explained: "God, we haven't used up the materials for refining magic weapons and alchemy furnaces. Don't we want those true gods to comprehend the way of space as much as possible and go to the God Realm as soon as possible? Now the god-level refiners and god-level alchemists are taking turns to comprehend the way of space.
We have refined too many magic weapon alchemy furnaces and no one would use them, so I did not have people refine all the materials for making magic weapon alchemy furnaces. We can roughly refine a thousand magic weapon alchemy furnaces with the remaining materials."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Then refine all the remaining materials into the magic alchemy furnace. As for comprehending the way of space, stopping for a few months will not have much impact. We must set aside 30,000 sets of divine armor and 30,000 divine swords in the next six months."
This is not a big problem.
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji pondered, "God, then the true gods and demon gods cultivated in the mortal world in the past few months will not be equipped with divine armor and divine swords for the time being, okay?"
Chen Jiu nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, anyway, we only need to set aside this much in half a year, and then we can slowly match them up after half a year."
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand."
The next thing left is to refine the elixir.
Chen Jiu asked directly: "Master Ma, it shouldn't be a problem for us to refine the elixir now. If we start refining the elixir again, how many elixir can we refine in a month? Is one or two million bottles a problem?"
Are you re-refining the elixir?
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji said in embarrassment: “God, we have no shortage of immortal-level alchemists, but we no longer have ordinary artifact alchemy furnaces. Because we stopped refining immortal pills, those ordinary artifact alchemy furnaces were used to refine immortal artifacts and refining materials. We have not purchased any ordinary artifact alchemy furnaces since then.
At the moment, the most we can do is to dig out a few hundred ordinary artifact alchemy furnaces from the divine kingdoms that refine the materials for the artifacts. Even if we arrange for immortal-level alchemists to take turns refining for twelve hours a day, it would be good enough if we can return to the original number of producing 15,000 bottles of immortal pills a day."
By this calculation, it would take a month to refine 450,000 bottles of elixirs, which seems far from enough.
Not only did he have to consider the consumption of the magical herbs and medicinal herbs that Qingmufang Market had purchased frantically in the past few months, he also had to consider the output from the Fusang Sacred Tree and the output from the magical herbs and medicinal herbs that they had planted themselves after they matured.
Chen Jiu pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "Then let the three thousand god-level refiners specialize in refining alchemy furnaces in the next nine days. One thousand magic weapon alchemy furnaces and two thousand ordinary artifact alchemy furnaces. No matter what, we have to increase the monthly output of immortal pills to more than one million bottles."
Upon hearing this, Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Lord God, I understand."
The next step is to pick someone up.
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and asked again: "Where did Dayou and his men fight? Do you know?"
Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji said without hesitation: "God, General Yu and his men have taken over the north and are now attacking the Central Plains."
The progress is pretty good, and Zhongyuan is close by, so it is convenient to pick up some gold-type and fire-type earth immortals.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then flashed to Sishui Pass and came to the side of Luo Menghong and his son who were sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain practicing.
Luo Menghong suddenly opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Ajiu, why are you here? Where is Ali?"
Uh, I'm just passing by, it would be bad if I didn't say hello to you.
Chen Jiu said somewhat awkwardly: "Uncle, I'm here to look for Dayou and the others."
Oh, you are here to look for those disciples. I thought you brought Ahri to see us.
Luo Menghong sighed slightly, then raised his hand and pointed to the west, saying: "They are attacking the Central Plains, which should be about 2,000 miles away from here."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then expanded his spiritual sense and scanned to the west.
Soon, he came across a large army led by several of his disciples.
These eight disciples did not lead their troops to attack aggressively and force the enemy to fight desperately. They all seemed to fight calmly, and there were not even any large-scale battles in the entire Central Plains.
After Chen Jiu took a careful look, he quickly arrived at the commander's tent of the Shenyong Camp.
At this moment, Yu Dayou was lying there looking at the map carefully. Suddenly, there was a person in front of him. He couldn't help but raise his head with a look of vigilance.
Seeing this , Chen Jiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Dayou, are you busy?"
Yu Dayou shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, Master, why are you here? Is there something you want me to do?"
Chen Jiu still smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing serious. I just want to take some gold-type earth immortals and earth-type earth immortals from you to refine immortal tools. How about it? How many gold-type earth immortals and earth-type earth immortals can you mobilize?"
Yu Dayou heard this and said without hesitation: "Master, if you don't mind taking them all back, it doesn't matter. We have hundreds of True Gods under our command now. We can easily form a Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to deal with them. We don't need to use the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation for the True Gods of the aristocratic families and the royal family. Anyway, they will flee if they can't win and won't fight us at all."
So, bring some back with you.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then you order all the gold-type earth immortals and earth-type earth immortals who have learned the art of refining to gather together. I will go to Ji Guang and the others first."
At this moment, the battle line of the Eight Camps was not very long. His eight disciples cooperated with each other and slowly advanced within a range of more than a thousand miles, so it was very convenient for them to find other disciples.
When the other disciples heard that he was going to recruit gold-type and fire-type earth immortals to refine weapons, they gathered all those who had learned refining weapons to him without hesitation. Now it was really easy for them to conquer the world. The local wealthy families and royal vassals were no match for them at all.
These guys were just trying every possible way to kill time with them, and they weren't really trying their best.
Chen Jiu felt relieved when he saw this situation. These guys probably just wanted to stall for time until the Hongmeng Sect's army descended on the mortal world again. He was not afraid of stalling for time at all.
Anyway, these earthly immortals, demon immortals, true gods and demon gods in the mortal world cannot comprehend the way of space in a short time and cannot go to the realm of gods, so it doesn't matter if they try.
His focus has now shifted to the divine world. As long as nothing serious happens in the mortal world, it will be fine to just slowly get by.
After this round, he had attracted more than 10,000 gold-type and earth-type earth immortals who had learned the art of refining equipment, so everything on Jiuling Mountain was almost arranged.
He was about to say goodbye to his mother when he finished everything. The nine-tailed fox could not help but ask, "Ah Jiu, aren't you going to take the magic pills with you? There are thousands of bottles of magic pills this month. Mother is terrified when she holds them. Why don't you take them?"
Oh my god, I almost forgot even this.
He was hoping to exchange these magic pills for immortal pills and then quickly go to the divine realm to give birth to true gods .
Hearing this, Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Mom, you only need to keep the ones you need for your own cultivation, and give me the rest."
Upon hearing this, the nine-tailed fox took out a large piece of magic pills.
Chen Jiu counted carefully and found that there were nearly four thousand bottles!
This should be enough for him to cultivate the elixir of true god.
