Chapter 414 Half a Year Later

After the sect war, Su Jie's bloodthirsty reputation spread along with the outcome of the war.

Inside the mountain gate of Guiling Palace, although the sect war was won, Guiling Palace itself also suffered huge losses.

Many disciples and elders died in the war, and the number was less than half of what it was before the war started.

And with Zhengdao's temperament, it is impossible to obtain war reparations.

Although the opponent has lost troops and generals, but the background is there. If Guiling Palace takes advantage of it, I am afraid that the opponent will forcefully raise troops and make a comeback.

The sparse disciples made everyone in Guiling Palace immediately choose to open the gate and recruit new disciples on a large scale, with much relaxed conditions.

The Guiling Palace, which had just achieved a brilliant victory, was at a time of great prestige and popularity.

Although joining the Demon Sect doesn't sound good, it is also a path to immortality.

There are not too many frustrated casual cultivators in this world. Most of them have had the experience of joining the righteous sect, but they are often rejected because of their poor talent.

The Righteous Sect will select its disciples, and sometimes it will not only test the talent, but also the character of the disciple, focusing on things like benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust.

On the Ghost Ridge Palace side, everyone is welcome. Don't say you have poor talent. As long as you are an individual and can refine spiritual energy, you can become an outer disciple and become a glorious consumable.

As for the character of your mind, the demon cultivator doesn't care about that. No matter how cruel and despicable you are, the demon cultivator doesn't care.

Therefore, as soon as Guiling Palace opened its gate to recruit new people, the recruitment scene in front of the mountain gate was filled with people.

There are not only casual cultivators who come here independently, but also major black market merchants, and civilians recruited from all over the country. After confirming their talents through simple tests, they are given a sum of money to their families, and then they are brought here and resold to Ghost Ridge Palace. , earn the price difference.

"There are so many people! Hey, is Su Jieqi looking for disciples too?"

Ning Xinyue Pu fanned her little hands. She looked at the densely packed queue of newcomers in front of her. It was like going to a market and it was noisy.

On the other side, behind the table where the elder was sitting, Su Jie fumbled for the two magic weapons in his hands, which were the defensive purple jade umbrella, the magic weapon that could protect the body independently, and the offensive wind and thunder fan. In one wave, the wind and thunder fan In unison.

Both of these low-grade magic weapons were obtained from Wei Ji. Su Jie's palms gushed out with spiritual light, secreting into the magic weapon, and wearing away the restrictions left by Wei Ji one by one, turning them into his own shape. This process may take ten and a half days. Months, it is not easy to refine a low-grade magic weapon.

"I'm not recruiting disciples, I'm recruiting workers. The Puppet Hall needs some labor."

Su Jie raised his head, put away the two magic weapons, walked out from behind the table, and said loudly to the audience: "Is there any newcomer willing to come to the Puppet Hall? The treatment will be favorable, and the monthly salary will start at ten spiritual stones."

The Puppet Hall now has the Flying Ark that needs to be researched, and in order to meet Su Jie's needs, there is a huge demand for manpower. Ordinary people can't do it, so they need monks with spiritual power.

And these newcomers who have just joined the sect have become Su Jie's favorite targets. They are cheap and large in quantity, and they are naturally suitable for the assembly line operation of the Puppet Hall.

"Ah! That is Tu Sujie, the corpse-hand man. I have seen his wanted portrait."

"I want to join, Hall Master Su, I want to join your sect."

"Who is he! You are so excited."

"You don't even know him. He is the strongest young man in Qingzhou and the legendary devil who kills people without blinking an eye. If you can learn a few tricks from him, you will have no worries about food, drink, and life."< br>

"It is said that the Puppet Hall is extremely important in Ghost Ridge Palace, and it is managed by a strong man like Corpse Hand Tu, so it will definitely be beneficial to join."

After Su Jie appeared, the scene suddenly became agitated.

Most of the newcomers present had heard of Su Jie's reputation as a massacrer, and a large number of people came rushing in, queuing up to join the Puppet Hall.

Some of them wanted to come here to gain wealth because of Su Jie's reputation, and some because of the treatment of newcomers in the Puppet Hall.

The former is Su Jie, who has just become famous in Qingzhou, and the latter also relies on rocket launchers to become famous in the Ghost Ridge Palace. These are the points that make newcomers extremely yearn for.

Not to mention the treatment provided by Su Jie is quite good for a newcomer.

"Who is spreading my name indiscriminately? It sounds like a murderous person. Do I look like that kind of person?"

The corners of Su Jie's eyes twitched slightly. He had already achieved the Secret Treasure Realm. He still had the reputation of breaking into the Yunling Realm. You can't get rid of this reputation, right?

Ning Xinyue laughed heartlessly on the side and said: "You are not similar, you are clearly good. I think this name suits you very well."

"Tsk!"

Su Jie knocked on Ning Xinyue's head. Looking at the long queue in front of him, he still decided to recruit.

Su Jie was not picky about the qualifications of these newcomers at all. Anyway, after entering the assembly line of the Puppet Hall, no matter how bad the qualifications were, they would be enough.

Therefore, the entire recruitment went extremely smoothly. When one day passed, Su Jie recruited thousands of new people to the Puppet Hall.

Time flies!

Six months later.

Ghost Ridge Palace, Puppet Hall.

Su Jie wore an elder's robe and walked in slowly.

In the Puppet Hall, the first thing that came into view was the flying boat that was hundreds of meters long.

On the huge giant Dharma boat, disciples of the Puppet Hall were jumping up and down one by one.

Some disciples took spiritual gold materials and fused and welded the gaps.

Some disciples dismantled the broken materials, repaired and polished them, or replaced them with new materials.

Some disciples are drawing new magic formations and constantly testing them.

Because most of the original formations of the Flying Ark were destroyed, new research and experiments are needed to suit the overall characteristics of the Flying Ark.

There are hundreds of disciples busy on the entire Dharma Ark. They are all the more skilled disciples of the Puppet Hall. Ordinary disciples cannot participate at all to deal with the arduous task of repairing the Flying Dharma Ark.

In half a year, about 20% of the damage on the Feitian Dharma Ark has been repaired. The price paid for this is that the Puppet Hall spent 2 million spirit stones in real money and 1 million spirit stones sponsored by the sect, which is a total of 3 million. The spirit stone was thrown in.

It is like a gold-swallowing beast, constantly devouring financial resources. It is no wonder that there are so many sects in Qingzhou, and only Guanchao Pavilion, which is a big business, can play the Flying Sky Ark.

"Lord!"

As soon as Su Jie entered the puppet hall, shouts rang out.

The disciples greeted Su Jie respectfully. Most of them were at the first or second level of the Yunling Realm with low cultivation. Now that they have found good jobs in the Puppet Hall, they were all grateful to Su Jie.

Su Jie nodded slightly and continued to move forward across the Feitian Dharma Boat. In addition to the repair of the Flying Ark, the area of the entire Puppet Hall has now expanded several times again.

This place is like a busy factory, with more than 1,500 disciples busy here.

They are completely manual operations, but the speed is not inferior to modern mechanical intelligent factories.

The participation of magical energy such as spiritual power, coupled with the physical fitness of a superhuman per capita, can complete tasks that are incredible to ordinary people.

For example, what Su Jie saw in front of him was a huge puppet arm.

The production was completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Pieces of iron ore were thrown into the pit. A disciple of the fifth level of the Yunling Realm, who practiced the Molten Flame Art, stood on the edge of the pit.

He let out a breath, and sprayed out expanding flames from his mouth, covering the ten-meter-diameter pit.

Pieces of iron ore are heated to a boil and then gradually dissolve, turning into a crude mixture of molten iron and impurities.

Generally speaking, if you want to turn iron ore into steel, you need to go through multiple processes, including crushing, screening and washing, to separate minerals and impurities. At this time, the iron ore is sintered and reduced to metallic iron. Continue to refine it into pig iron, and then add other processes and materials to make steel and various alloys.

But these are not that troublesome at all in the Puppet Hall. There are no high-end converters, refining furnaces and other heavy machinery, and it is done purely by manpower.

The melted molten iron in the pit was rolling around. Add some materials and mix it into the required metal material. Wind blew up in the palms of several Puppet Hall disciples, and the molten iron separated from it. It quickly cooled and took shape, turning into a simple rough steel embryo.

Then there are disciples who specialize in the Sky Splitting Palm, splitting and polishing the steel, and restoring it to the shape they need.

The whole process requires the cooperation of hundreds of people, which must be pushed down layer by layer, and finally combined into a puppet arm. This is a monk assembly line.

Su Jie walked through the production area and walked to the newly built martial arts field at the back. This area covers an area of thousands of acres and has targets of various sizes erected.

"No, the budget has been exceeded, and there are not that many spiritual stones for you."

"Sister Yun, just do it. Our Canghuo puppet really needs to be transformed. You can't help but let us do some transformation and improvement. It is a fifth-grade puppet that can compete with the Secret Realm. We are just a little bit away from success. .”

"This is not the first time you have said such things. The success you talk about is just a little bit worse every time."

"Sister Eyun, you have to believe us. This is really the last time. Please put aside your prejudice and seriously consider it with your reason."

As soon as Su Jie entered here, he heard fierce arguments.

A man and a woman were looking at each other, namely Zhu Changqi who was jumping up and down in anger, and Chen Yun who was as cold as ice.

Chen Yun pursed her lips, looked up at the sky, and seemed to be thinking seriously. After a few seconds, she said to Zhu Changqi: "Okay, I have just put aside my prejudice and thought about it seriously. If I don't approve, I won't approve." The sect leader will The funds for the Puppet Hall are entrusted to me, so I won’t let you mess around unless you come up with a realistic and reasonable budget.”

Zhu Changqi's expression was stiff until he saw Su Jie.

"Master, look at Sister Yun, she is too stingy. Our Puppet Hall has no money for puppet transformation. These funds are not used for personal enjoyment, they are all for puppet research!"

As soon as he saw Su Jie, Zhu Changqi felt like he had seen a savior. Hope appeared on his originally aggrieved face, and he rushed to Su Jie in three steps at a time.

"Is it for funds again?"

Su Jie crossed his arms and saw through Zhu Changqi's little thoughts. The Puppet Hall is a good place, but it is also a waste of money.

"Hall Master! The funds cannot be approved this time. The success rate of the transformation they gave is too low and does not meet the funding requirements at all."

Chen Yun also came up. She was invited by Su Jie to come to the Puppet Hall to manage the distribution of funds here.

"It's up to you."

Su Jie nodded. Before Chen Yun came, the disciples of the Puppet Hall let themselves go one by one and piled high-quality spiritual materials on the puppets, causing the budget to seriously exceed the standard.

After Chen Yun came, the funds have been effectively controlled in the past six months. Holding the funds is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the disciples in the Puppet Hall, so that they can no longer be careless and think about all good materials. The puppet was on base, really thinking that the spirit stone was blown by the strong wind.

Seeing Zhu Changqi's face full of depression and about to say something, Su Jie interrupted directly: "Okay, I see the contribution of your Puppet Hall, but the funds are limited, so you have to use it sparingly. Let me first Let’s take a look at your research results and see how the Spider Armored Puppet is finished.”

The spider armored puppet Su Jie mentioned was a research task assigned by Su Jie to the Puppet Hall.

Su Jie came to the Puppet Hall today because the finished product of the Spider Armor Puppet was successfully rolled off the production line, and Su Jie came to inspect it.

"Master, please see, this is the result of our research."

Zhu Changqi put aside other thoughts and took Su Jie to a warehouse.

When the iron door was pushed open, many puppets of various types were piled up in the large warehouse.

Most of them are various combat puppets studied by the disciples of the Puppet Hall. They are basically the same height as a person, with the highest being no more than five meters.

In addition, there are rocket launchers, which were used as weapons for killing vegetables in the sect war. Later, the sect placed an order for 500 more rocket launchers. Now, the number of rocket launchers in Guiling Palace has reached a thousand.

If it weren't for the fact that the rocket launcher was too powerful to kill vegetables and became a trump card of Guiling Palace, Su Jie's original plan to export it to make money was rejected by the sect. Su Jie would have made a fortune by relying on this rocket launcher.

In the warehouse, in addition to various humanoid puppets and rocket launchers, the most eye-catching thing is a strange-shaped puppet.

Different from the humanoid puppets made by the disciples of the Puppet Hall, this puppet is twelve meters tall, and its eight huge long legs are particularly eye-catching.

Its overall shape is like a giant spider, which is dark black in color. The outside of its body is covered with steel metal and has complex patterns engraved on it.

The eight legs are thick and powerful, with sharp claws on each leg. The head is a hemispherical metal structure with a pair of biological compound eyes installed on it.

Because it is a semi-finished product, the Spider Armor Puppet looks round-headed, not sharp-edged, and a bit clumsy. The real armor and weapons have not been added yet.

Su Jie stood in front of the puppet, stroking his chin and looking back and forth, looking at this special puppet that the entire puppet hall had participated in creating.

Su Jie named it Spider Armored Puppet. Its battlefield was not in Tianyuan World, but was prepared for Blue Star.

This puppet looks like it is cast from one piece of metal on the outside, but in fact it is completely different on the inside.

Su Jie jumped on the back of the spider armored puppet and opened a hatch here.

What caught the eye were masses of squirming flesh and blood, with blood vessels clearly visible.

This is a sarcoid specially cultivated by Su Jie. The Gu worms are prepared and then cultivated and grafted using the "All-Changing Insect Code" to adapt them to Su Jie's needs.

Although it looks a little gross, this sarcoma is actually a really good thing.

For example, the sarcomas inside the spider-style armored puppet were specially cultivated by Su Jie and have effects such as earthquake resistance, fire resistance, and poison gas resistance. Su Jie spent a lot of spiritual stones on their cultivation.

The biggest feature of this model of sarcoma is its powerful regeneration ability, which was specially prepared by Su Jie and completed after many tests.

"Has this Spider Armor Puppet been tested?"

Su Jie turned to look at Zhu Changqi. He had high hopes for this spider-style armored puppet.
