nIn the courtyard.

nThe three of them cupped their hands at Chen Daoxuan and prepared to leave.

nChen Daoxuan stopped Chen Daochu.

nSeeing this.

nChen Dailian left with Chen Fusheng.

nHe watched the two leave.

nChen Daochu scratched his head and couldn’t help but say,””Young Clan Leader, do you have any important mission for me to do?”

nAs he spoke.

nHe showed an eager expression.

n“I have an important task for you.” Chen Daoxuan smiled.”

nAfter saying that, his expression became serious.

n“I found a problem in the exchange jade slip of the Qianyuan Sword Sect.”

nHe paused for a moment.” Whether it’s in the auction house of Guang ‘an Prefecture or in the exchange jade slips of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, offensive magical equipment inheritance is very common, but defensive spiritual armor inheritance is very rare.

nDo you know what this means?”

nAfter saying that, he looked at Chen Daochu with a meaningful look.

nChen Daochu didn’t understand the meaning behind Chen Daoxuan’s words and said stiffly,””! don’t know.”

n“How big do you think the difference in strength is between wearing the ling armor and before?” Chen Daoxuan sighed.”

nHearing this.

nChen Daochu frowned and thought about it carefully.””The difference in strength is huge. It can even be said to be the difference between heaven and earth!”

n“That’s right.”

nChen Daoxuan looked at the scenery outside the courtyard and said faintly,” Even when I was in the Qi Condensation stage, I would probably be defeated and flee when faced with a group of Qi Condensation cultivators wearing ling armor.

nEven now, I’m being surrounded by a group of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators wearing high-grade Level Two spiritual armor. I’m still at risk of being defeated and fleeing.”

n“How could that be?”

nChen Daochu looked at Chen Daoxuan in shock, unable to believe what he was saying.

nIn his eyes, Chen Daoxuan was a sword cultivator, and his strength was absolutely the best among his peers.

nSuch a sword cultivator actually said that a group of cultivators of the same level could pose a threat to him if they wore ling armor.

nThis was obviously a huge blow to Chen Daochu’s worldview.

nBut then he remembered that after he wore a first-tier superior-grade natal spiritual armor, he could withstand the attacks of ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators with his cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refinement, which was close to perfection.

nThen, he felt relieved.

nCompared to flying swords, spiritual armor could indeed affect the balance of power.

nTherefore, in the exchange jade slip of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, there was no inheritance of high-grade spiritual armor.

nIn fact, Chen Daoxuan could tell from the exchange jade slips of the Qianyuan Sword Sect that the Qianyuan Sword Sect’s policy was to suppress the big families and support the itinerant cultivators.

nThis point.

nAll the big families in the Infinite Star Sea could probably see it.

nThis was also the reason why the major families did not dare to act rashly under the rule of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.

nOnce a core strategic skill like the crafting of high-grade ling armor was passed down to a large family, it would increase the strength of the family in an extremely short period of time.

nA group of cultivators wearing ling armor and a group of naked cultivators holding offensive magic tools were completely different concepts.

nEven if the Qian Yuan Sword Sect was not afraid of the power of the other party, the expansion of the power of the big family was always a kind of trouble for it.

nThe Qian Yuan Sword Sect had to be on guard against this kind of trouble.

nOf course.

nAlthough ling armor was good, the price was also quite touching. Usually, even in large families, only the most elite disciples were qualified to wear ling armor.

nJust like the Zhou family and the Wu family.

nOnly the most elite of the family would have ling armor on them.

nHowever, even the Zhou and Wu families only had a Grade Two Upper Spiritual Armor Inheritance.

nDid the Zhou Clan lack spirit stones or battle credits?

nOf course not!

nThis was the reason why the Qianyuan Sword Sect deliberately controlled the refining technology of ling armor.

nThe Qianyuan Sword Sect was strictly controlling not only the refining of spiritual armor, but also the war-type magical equipment such as the Spirit Void Battleship.

nThe Spiritual Void Battleship of the Zhou Family was given to them by the previous Sect Master after they had made great contributions to the unification of the Infinite Star Sea by the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.

nHowever, after that…

nThere was no longer any family in the Infinite Star Sea that had obtained the refining method of a war instrument like the Spiritual Void Battleship.

nEven the Zhou Family had only accumulated less than a hundred Spirit Void Battleships in the past thousand years.

nIt was clear how precious this kind of war magic tool was.

nThe effect of a war magic tool might not be obvious when dealing with a single cultivator, but on a vast battlefield, it was simply a god-like existence.

nFor example, the frontline of the Yun Nation.

nThe Profound Pure Dao League had used a large number of puppet beasts as cannon fodder to exhaust the cultivators of the Infinite Star Sea.

nFacing this kind of cannon fodder, the war weapon was the best weapon to clear the battlefield.

nIn fact, during the battle between Guang ‘an Prefecture and Lotus Island, the Sun brothers did not choose to attack the four city passes on a large scale, except for the threat of Zhou Mubai, that perverted sword cultivator.

nThe Zhou Family’s Spirit Void Battleship was also the reason why they were so fearful.

nOnce this kind of magic tool was used on a large scale battlefield, it would have the effect of sweeping away everything.

nOther than the fact that cultivators were fast and agile, they were not easily locked onto by these war artifacts.

nThe puppets of Qianji Palace and the zombie tide in Guang ‘an Prefecture would be the living targets of the war magical equipment once they gathered on a large scale.

nTherefore, he had no choice.

nThere would not be any specific refining inheritance for this kind of war magic tool.

nOf course.

nThe Qian Yuan Sword Sect was still willing to exchange for specific magic weapons with their battle merits, but there were also restrictions.

nHowever, the loose loose loose loose practitioner had no restrictions on the loose practitioner.

nWhen a rogue cultivator was alone, they would usually only exchange for one ling armor or war magic tool.

nThere were no restrictions on this exchange.

nThe move of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect restricted the Zhou Family and the Ye Family.

nIn the exchange inheritance of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, things that could really increase the family’s foundation, especially the big family’s foundation, were generally not available.

nHigh grade ling armor inheritances were among them.

nThe inheritance of large-scale war artifacts was also among them.

nThis kind of thing was related to the foundation of a cultivation force. It was much stricter than the exchange of cultivation techniques.

nChen Daoxuan rummaged through all the artifact refining inheritances.

nHe had only managed to find a grade two ling armor refinement inheritance, and the battle merits required were extremely high.

nIn any case, the Chen family’s war power was not enough to exchange for it.

nIn the courtyard.

nAfter hearing Chen Daoxuan’s explanation, Chen Daochu immediately understood that the Young Clan Leader’s plan was far-reaching.

nHe nodded.” When our Chen Clan cultivators reach the Foundation

nEstablishment stage, the current level one ling armor will naturally not be able to keep up with the cultivation speed.”

nEven though many Foundation Establishment Cultivators didn’t even have Level One Spirit Armor, it didn’t stop the Chen Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators from despising Level One Spirit Armor.

n“Exactly.”

nChen Daoxuan nodded. Now that there are more and more cultivators in my Chen family, in the future, other than most of them going to work in the factories, the military 1 planned for the Chen family back then will definitely be established.”

nHe paused for a moment.” In my vision, from now on, the cultivators of the Chen family and the military will be completely separated from the cultivators in charge of production.

nThe cultivators of the Military Department only had one goal, and that was to do everything possible to improve their own strength in order to protect the safety of their families.

nAs you know, a cultivator’s strength is not only affected by their own cultivation, Dharma spells, Sword Dao, and other realms, but also affected by external items such as magic tools.

nMoreover, it has a huge impact!”

nHearing this.

nChen Daochu nodded. As an Armament Master, he knew this very well.

nFor two cultivators with the same cultivation base and similar magic techniques, magic tools could even be said to be the only factor that affected the outcome of the battle.

nAmong them, the ling armor was the biggest factor.

nIf one of the two late-stage Aura Refining cultivators had reached the perfection of the first-tier sword technique, and the other was only at the ordinary level of perfection, he would have a first-tier superior-grade spiritual armor.

nThe outcome of the battle was self-evident.

nThe Aura Refining cultivator with a superior-grade first-level ling armor would definitely be better.

nThis was because a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator who had reached the peak of the first-stage sword technique couldn’t even break through the defense of a cultivator with the same cultivation level.

nWhat suspense could there be in such a battle?

nAlthough the situation was different when a cultivator reached a higher level.

nHowever, there was no doubt that the increase in the strength of a cultivator was too terrifying.

nIt could be said to be the best of all types of magic tools.

nIt was no wonder that the Qianyuan Sword Sect would deliberately restrict such an inheritance.

nIf there were no restrictions, with the financial resources of the big families in the Infinite Star Sea, they could make all the elite monks in the family wear high-level spiritual armor in minutes. By then, the strength of the big families would increase by a terrifying amount.

nMoreover, compared to a bunch of loose cultivators, it was easier for the big families to form an alliance and threaten the rule of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.

nAs long as the higher-ups of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect were clear-headed, they would be wary of this.

n“Therefore, I want to establish a magic tool research institute right now. It will be responsible for researching all kinds of magic tools.”

n” Magical Artifact Research Institute?”

nChen Daochu wasn’t surprised by the new term mentioned by the young clan leader, but he was curious about the difference between this so-called magical equipment research institute and the magical equipment factory.

nHearing Chen Daochu’s question.

n“Of course there are differences,” explained Chen Daoxuan.

nYou should know about the two magic tools that I created, the Harmonious Spirit Stove and the centrifugal wall breaker, right?”

nChen Daochu nodded.

n“From now on, your Institute of Magic Artifacts will be doing this job. You will specialize in researching new types of magic artifacts, especially the special magic artifacts that my Chen family needs.”

n“All!”

nHearing this, Chen Daochu’s jaw dropped.

nHe was only a second tier Armament Master, but Chen Daoxuan wanted him to create a new type of magic tool. He really wanted to say, Young Clan Leader, you are really making things difficult for me.

nHowever, seeing Chen Daoxuan’s serious gaze, he couldn’t say this at all.

nLooking at his expression, how could Chen Daoxuan, who had brought him up, not know what he was thinking?

nThen he said angrily,”You’ve forgotten, your current refining talent is the same as before?” With such a huge improvement in his talent in artifact crafting, did he not even have this bit of confidence?”

n“When did I…”

nBefore Chen Daochu could finish his sentence, he suddenly thought of something and his face lit up.

nImmediately, he was so excited that he said incoherently,”This is feasible! This move was feasible! If a genius like me had a bit more, this Magical Equipment Research Institute would definitely be able to create one!”

nChen Daoxuan couldn’t look straight at him bragging without blushing.

n“Alright, stop talking nonsense. You’ve always been the teacher of the magical equipment class. Pick a group of reliable cultivators with a certain amount of talent in refining weapons.

nFirst, build up the foundation of this magical equipment research institute.”

n“Yes, yes! Alright!”

nChen Daochu nodded hurriedly..

n
