Chapter 73: Strengthening the Army [Reading]
When breaking through the realm of foundation building, the stronger the true energy in the body, the higher the quality of the true energy, the higher the success rate. This is the point of practicing advanced skills. Of great benefit.
The quality of the infuriating energy is also crucial. No matter how strong the water-attributed infuriating energy is, it will not be as good as the metallic and fire-attributed infuriating energy when it hits the bottleneck.
Of course, the premise of all this is just ordinary foundation building. On the path of superior foundation building, the quality of the true energy only plays a supporting role in breaking through the bottleneck. The core is still the ability to cultivate short-term spells. .
Getting back to the subject, after confirming that he had reached calmness, Ye Linyuan immediately stood up from the retreat room.
He pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but think about it and said: "It took me a while to go to Tianxing Continent, but I finally achieved the perfection of the middle stage of Qi training within ten months."
"If I want to make a breakthrough next, We must capture the Lin family."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The reason why Lin's family must be taken down is not only to settle the grievances of that day, but also because Ye Linyuan needs to make a breakthrough.
The Seven Islands of Star Lake have ready-made high-grade spiritual veins, which can allow Ye Linyuan to break through the late stage of Qi training quietly, thereby hiding the strength and heritage of the Ye family.
After all, Ye Linyuan has only been practicing for seven years. He is only 22 years old and is at the seventh level of Qi training. Once word spreads, he will definitely become the focus of Qinghe Islands.
Before he has enough strength, dormant is his best choice.
In addition, it is also because the seven islands of Star Lake are too close together. As the strength of the Ye family continues to increase, the Lin family will discover abnormalities sooner or later.
Rather than being passively noticed by them, it is better to strike first and directly capture the entire seven islands of Xinghu, making the Ye family become a new powerful Qi training clan in the Qinghe Islands.
“Eating the Lin family and capturing the Seven Star Lake Islands is the beginning of the rise of my Ye family.”
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then walked out of the retreat room, found Old Ye who was cultivating, and asked: "How is the situation with Taoist Yu?"
"The secret message was sent just a few days ago. , He will probably have to wait until next month to break through."
Old man Ye couldn't help but show a look of concentration.
Since the annexation of the five islands of Xinghu a few years ago, the entire Lin clan has developed rapidly. The Lin clan is no longer the ordinary wealthy Qi training clan it used to be.
Nowadays, the Lin family not only has two late-stage Qi-training monks, but also has more than forty Qi-training monks, including six in the middle-stage Qi-training stage.
With such a foundation alone, the Lin family is considered to be at its peak in the Qi Refining family, and Lin Xuanhe, whom they have devoted all their efforts to cultivate, has now reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and it seems likely that he will hit the seventh level of Qi Refining within five years. layer.
Once successful, it will be the late stage of Qi refining at the age of forty. Such a foundation can be considered an elite among the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan. There is even a slight possibility of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm in the future.
It can be said that the Lin family is at its peak now. If it is not doomed, a Qi-training Dzogchen monk is likely to appear in the future and become one of the top Qi-training immortals in the Qinghe Islands. .
Thinking of this, Old Man Ye said again: "Lin's strength is not weak, and he also has the five elders of Qinghe Xianmen as his backers. We must wait for Taoist Yu to break through before taking action."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then asked: "How are you preparing for the Thousand Refined Weapons and Armor?"
"I have gathered together a hundred sets of armors and weapons. In addition, I have equipped each person with a crossbow."
Old man Ye said, with a rare smile in his eyes.
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but feel slightly happy, and then asked: "Where is the crossbow?"
Old man Ye had already prepared for this, and directly took out a ten-foot strong crossbow and handed it to Ye Linyuan . Ye Linyuan took it and took a look and found that the crossbow was extremely heavy, weighing about a hundred kilograms. Upon closer inspection, he found that the entire iron bow was made of high-quality iron wood, with a bow string made of sea animal skin tied to it. .
And the crossbow arrows used were made of thousand-refined iron.
Ye Linyuan tried it and found that such a powerful crossbow had a force of several thousand kilograms and could easily penetrate a huge stone.
“What a good crossbow.”
Seeing the extraordinary power of the crossbow, Ye Linyuan couldn’t help but admired it.
Old man Ye nodded, and then said with a smile: "The iron wood used in this crossbow is all valuable miscellaneous spirit wood. It can't be pulled open without the strength of two thousand kilograms."
"With the arrows made by Qian Lian's magical power, even if you try to catch them head-on in the late stage of Qi training, you will suffer a heavy loss. You should not be able to withstand it in the middle stage of Qi training."
Ye Linyuan nodded and checked again. Check out the armor and weapons.
He discovered that the entire body of the armor was made of thousand-refined iron. Its strength was dozens of times stronger than fine iron. It was strong enough to withstand the attacks of ordinary low-grade magic weapons. Even if a mid-grade magic weapon wanted to cut it It is quite difficult to wear.
Of course, this type of armor also has huge shortcomings. The biggest problem is that it weighs more than five hundred kilograms. Ordinary people would probably be crushed to pulp on the spot if they put it on.
Even the members of the Ye family who are practicing pseudo-Taoist weapons with a strength of two to three thousand kilograms will look extremely bulky after wearing them.
Ye Linyuan didn't think there was any problem with this. After all, these pseudo-Tao soldiers had no true energy and could easily be kited to death with just brute force. Without the defense of heavy armor, there was no way they could defeat the monks who were in the early stage of Qi training. .
The Taoist weighted armor itself is standard equipment.
In Ye Linyuan's first life, the heavy armor of those ancient soldiers was extremely heavy.
A set of infantry armor in the Song Dynasty weighed more than seventy kilograms, and the Mingguang Armor in the Tang Dynasty also weighed nearly a hundred kilograms. In comparison, the weight-bearing ratio of the Ye family's pseudo-Taoist soldiers was not too shocking.
It’s just that the refinement level of Thousand Refined Iron has its limit. If it is thicker, it will be too bulky and even affect the combat effectiveness of Taoist soldiers. Otherwise, it would be more suitable to wear a set of heavy armor weighing one thousand kilograms.
Overall, the Ye family's heavy armor sacrificed speed and endurance in exchange for defensive power. If each of them was not equipped with a powerful crossbow, it would be difficult for them to catch up with ordinary Qi cultivators.
"Armor for defense, Thousand Refined Spears to resist the enemy, and strong crossbows as the main means of attack."
"This set of armor is a good weapon, and it can become the standard weapon of our Ye family Taoist soldiers in the future. Armor."
Looking at the armor and weapons in front of him, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.
Speaking of this, Ye Linyuan said: "Second uncle and the others have also worked hard during this period. Please remember more of the family's merits for them and give them some Huangya Dan in exchange."
Old Man Ye nodded, and then said: "The war is imminent. In order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for the war, I have promised them that all those who are about to participate in the war will be given a certain amount of loot as a reward after the war."
"You can just make arrangements for this matter."
Ye Linyuan nodded calmly, stood up again and looked at the sea in the distance.
Time flies by, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
