Tianyuan World, Ghost Ridge Palace.
In front of the Puppet Hall, there is a lively scene here.
In front of several long tables, disciples lined up to receive their monthly salary for this month.
"Zhang Wu, assembly type, 18 low-grade spiritual stones this month."
"Xu Hao, formation type, 35 low-grade spiritual stones this month."
"Chen Guyan"
Each of the Puppet Hall disciples looked at the wages they received. Depending on the content of their work, they received different spiritual stone monthly stipends.
For example, those who only have a dozen low-grade spirit stones are basically young disciples who are engaged in the lowest-end repetitive assembly work, and their strength is mostly at the second or third level of Yunling Realm.
Most of those with dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones are disciples who have mastered a certain skill. For example, the old disciples who worked in the Puppet Hall before Su Jie took over the Puppet Hall. They mastered the skills of refining puppets and most of them were engaged in research and development. , the monthly salary is also much higher than that of ordinary disciples working in the Puppet Hall.
There are many outer disciples wandering around nearby. On the days when the Puppet Hall pays monthly salary, they often recruit a group of people to join the Puppet Hall to expand the scale of production. Many disciples will come here to try their luck.
In today's Ghost Ridge Palace, the Puppet Hall has become one of the best places for disciples. Here, you can earn at least a dozen spirit stones per month without risking your life outside.
In addition to often needing to stay up late and work overtime, cultivating disciples, even if they are only young disciples on the first or second level of the Yunling Realm, are much more adaptable when it comes to staying up late and working overtime, and sudden death is impossible.
"Manager Chen."
Chen Yun came from behind the crowd. Wherever she passed, the nearby Puppet Hall disciples greeted her one after another.
Over the years, Chen Yun, the big housekeeper of the Puppet Hall, has been working hard to manage the Puppet Hall, and her own strength has also made breakthroughs. Her qualifications are not very good, but Su Jie does not treat her badly, and will reward her with some good training resources. After coming down, Chen Yun is now at the eighth level of Yun Ling Realm, and is considered a well-known figure among the inner disciples.
More importantly, everyone knows that Chen Yun has a deep friendship with Elder Su. Before Elder Su's rise, Chen Yun was teammates with Elder Su. It can be said that he witnessed Elder Su's rise with his own eyes.
Elder Su is an immortal seedling from Ghost Ridge Palace, and is known as a strong contender for the strongest secret realm elder under the authority of the sect leader Zhang Jun.
With Su Jie's relationship, not to mention the inner disciples who dare not provoke Chen Yun, even the ordinary secret treasure realm elders in Ghost Ridge Palace will treat Chen Yun politely when they meet him.
Chen Yun walked into the puppet hall, and several female disciples trotted over.
"Sister Chen, this is the expenditure during this period. The bulk of the expenditure is the purchase of various materials, a total of 383,747 low-grade spiritual stones."
"The number of disciples in the Puppet Hall has exceeded the 3,000 mark. Currently, the rocket launchers we produce, as well as the special puppets and equipment requested by the hall master, occupy most of our manpower. The remaining manpower is engaged in research and development, and repairing the flying method. Boat.”
"Senior Brother Zhu has recently requested a lot of spiritual material resources. They said that the repair of the Flying Ark is at the end."
Several female disciples were financial personnel recruited by Chen Yun to help manage the financial affairs of the Puppet Hall. Otherwise, she would not be able to take care of such a large hall by herself.
Chen Yun nodded and looked at the flying boat placed in the open space of the Puppet Hall.
Many disciples of the Puppet Hall could be seen busy on the boat. When the flying boat was brought back, it was in tatters.
But now, after years of continuous investment of resources and repairs by the Puppet Hall, the damage to this flying boat has been completely repaired. It lies quietly on the ground. Its huge size and faint fluctuations in the formation make people feel heart palpitations.
While Chen Yun was watching, there was a sudden commotion outside the Puppet Hall.
Amidst the exclamations of countless disciples, a huge shadow covered the sky, and the terrifying sense of oppression even made the feet of the outer disciples go weak. The inner disciples also swallowed wildly, feeling the fear of facing their natural enemies.
Above the sky, a huge flying centipede came here, its pale corpse hands twisting and swinging, the ferocious fangs on its head, and the blue chitin shell shining with a metallic luster, giving people an indestructible feeling. feeling.
Such a powerful top-grade Seven-Refined Thousand-Handed Centipede is known to everyone in Ghost Ridge Palace. This is Elder Su's signature natal Gu.
After arriving at the top of the Ghost Ridge Palace, Thousand-Handed Centipede's huge body fell to the ground, shocking the nearby disciples to retreat, looking in awe at the man who rose from the Centipede's head and walked slowly down.
The man has a tall and straight figure, and his purple robe is gently blowing in the wind. He is simple yet dignified.
His eyes were as calm as ever, but they had an inexplicable and soul-stirring sense of intimidation, appearing deep and inviolable.
"This is Elder Su? He looks so young."
"The momentum is so strong, no wonder he is the first-class strong man in our sect."
"The fairy seedlings are really scary. I heard that a few years ago, Elder Su was an outer disciple like us. Now he has been promoted to the Secret Realm and became a powerful master of the Secret Realm. I don't know when he will be promoted. The third level of Yunling Realm. Sometimes I have to admit that the gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and dogs.”
The disciples at the scene whispered that many of them were new disciples who had joined the Ghost Ridge Palace in recent years. Because the Ghost Ridge Palace had won the sect war, many new people joined the Ghost Ridge Palace every year.
These newcomers had only heard the legend about Su Jie, and this was the first time they saw Su Jie's appearance.
"Congratulations to the Lord of the hall for coming out of seclusion."
Chen Yun walked over quickly, leading a large number of Puppet Hall disciples behind her, and bowed with excitement.
"I wish you, Lord Hall Master, great blessings in the sky, boundless magic power, and eternal blessings."
Thousands of Puppet Hall disciples shouted in unison. Following Chen Yun's movements, black crows and crows bowed, which looked spectacular.
The young disciples nearby looked envious and had a deeper understanding of Su Jie's might and power in Ghost Ridge Palace.
In Ghost Ridge Palace, the status of an elder is measured not only by his strength, but also by what important portals and resources within the sect he has mastered.
The Puppet Hall, which was on the verge of being abandoned in the past, has developed into one of the largest halls in Ghost Ridge Palace after Su Jie became the hall leader. Su Jie's power is among the dozens of secret realm elders in Ghost Ridge Palace. , even if one puts aside the identity of Su Jie Xianmiao and the nearly invincible combat power in the Secret Realm, relying solely on the existence of the Puppet Hall, he is still a heavyweight elder who holds real power.
Compared to the outer disciples, the eyes of the inner disciples who passed by were more eager, and many of them even had the idea of 'he can take their place' in their eyes.
It's just that these people don't know that the man in front of them is a cheater, and they will never have the slightest chance to surpass him in this life. "How is the progress of the Flying Ark?"
Su Jie looked at Chen Yun and asked about the important things he cared about.
The Jieke Group was digesting the territory it had invaded in Southeast Asia. Before digesting the territory, Su Jie returned to Tianyuan World.
The first thing Su Jie did when he returned to Tianyuan World was to inspect the repair progress of the Feitian Ark.
This flying boat was seized from Guanchao Pavilion and left in the Puppet Hall for several years. Su Jie invested a lot of manpower and material resources on it, and now he is finally going to see the results.
"Hall Master, I asked Chang Qi to come over."
When Chen Yun was about to call someone, Zhu Changqi, who was originally inside the flying ark, was reminded and jumped off the ark and quickly ran to Su Jie.
"Lord!"
Zhu Changqi, the puppet hall elder brother, had thick stubble on his face and messy hair. It looked like he often stayed in the Dharma Ark to work and never took care of his personal hygiene.
"How is the repair progress of the Dharma Ark now?"
Su Jie said.
"Reporting to the Hall Master, the Dharma Ark has been basically repaired and most of its functions can be used. There are only some minor problems left. We will solve them all within a month. When we have thoroughly studied them, we can even try to make Feitian by ourselves. "Fazhou"
Zhu Changqi slapped his chest. He was most obsessed with puppet machinery. He learned a lot during the process of repairing this flying boat.
"Start it and see if it can fly?"
As Su Jie spoke, he waved his right hand lightly and flew towards the Flying Ark. Chen Yun and Zhu Changqi were also restrained by an invisible force, flying behind Su Jie and arriving on the bow deck of the Flying Ark.
When you come to the Dharma Ark, you can even feel the hugeness of this flying Dharma Ark.
The water flows slowly around it, and it is like a palace, a dream palace soaring in the clouds. The pavilions and palaces stand high on the Dharma boat, and every tile and wood is filled with fairy spirit.
The glazed tiles shine brightly under the sunlight, like stars scattered in the world.
On the top of the palace, the golden phoenix wings were spread out and ready to fly, as if they were about to break through the sky at any time and carry this Dharma boat around the world.
In the center of the dharma boat, there are pieces of fairyland gardens shrouded in clouds and mist. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants are blooming and fragrant, colorful butterflies are dancing, and with fairy music, a jade-belt-like waterfall hangs down from the highest point of the palace, splashing Layers of water mist rise, decorating the place like a dream.
The Dharma Ark is extremely luxurious everywhere. The first dragon chair is made of pure gold and is inlaid with harsh spiritual materials. The walls are painted with dense patterns like star diagrams. The floor is made of white jade and gold wire, which is crystal clear.
The huge pillars seem to be walking through the clouds, with painted cornices and horns, dragons and phoenixes in auspicious shapes, lifelike and incomparable magnificence and majesty.
"Start the Dharma Ark."
Zhu Changqi holds a crystal ball, which is the key to controlling the flying ark.
As Zhu Changqi inputs his spiritual power, the Flying Dharma Boat begins to float up from the still ground like a wild horse. The layers of formation glow covering the upper and lower parts of the Dharma Boat explode like meteors flying in the opposite direction from the ground to the sky. The huge Dharma Boat rows Breaking through the sky and penetrating the clouds.
Below, the mountains and rivers are receding rapidly, and the noise and troubles of the world seem to be left behind. Several cranes and birds passed by the Dharma boat, walked side by side with the Dharma boat, and took the initiative to land on the Dharma boat. They played here and enjoyed the aura surrounding the Dharma boat.
Su Jiegao sat in the highest pavilion of the Dharma Zhou, sitting on a pure gold dragon chair. A water curtain formation appeared in front of him, like a holographic projection, completely transporting the scene around the Dharma Boat to the water curtain. , allowing Su Jie to control the overall situation within the Dharma Ark.
"Attack."
The flying speed of the magic boat was extremely fast. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, Zhu Changqi showed off the attacking ability of the magic boat.
Located at the core of the Dharma Ark, there is a long crystal pillar, and inside the pillar, a phoenix feather is solidified.
This is the feather of the fire phoenix in the phoenix category. Although it is only one feather, it emits infinite light and heat at all times. Together with the supply of high-grade spiritual stones, it provides the Dharma Ark with huge flight energy.
When the attack system is turned on, the arm-length fire phoenix feathers shine with a bright red color, and the feathers jump like flames, exuding the terrifying flame breath of immortal nirvana.
At the bow of the Dharma Boat, a magic circle covers an area of 100 meters, like thousands of golden lights shining on the earth, illuminating every detail on the Dharma Boat. The golden light and the spiritual light emitted by the Dharma Boat reflect each other, forming dazzling rays. The halo is like a bridge in the sky or a world-destroying flame. A pure white flame beam expands instantly, passes through the rings of light, and shoots straight into the earth below.
Boom!
This white flame beam directly exploded the earth and rocks, setting off huge waves of mud, leaving a huge deep pit.
A single charged blow is equivalent to a full blow from a strong man who has cultivated the five internal organs and is at the fifth level of the Secret Realm.
However, because the energy storage time is too long, although the power is powerful, the hit rate is not high. Unless the enemy is forcibly controlled, they will not stay in place.
More array glow erupted on the flying ark, and the power from the fire phoenix was transmitted through layers and converged on the attack arrays burned in various parts of the ark.
The next moment, magic array attacks fell from Fazhou's body. Some of the killing arrays were like blooming lasers, some were like countless storms cutting, and some turned into rolling thunder. Although these attacks were not as powerful as the charged ones, However, the attack speed is fast and the density is high. Each hit has the attack power of a strong person on the second or even third level of the Vault Realm. For the enemies of the Vault Realm, the threat is even higher.
At this time, the flying ark was like a fire fort. The powerful density of the attacking array razed the large forest below to the ground. Countless birds and beasts fled in fear, and were subsequently swallowed up by flames, thunder, and light beams, and burned to ashes.
The price is that the high-grade spiritual stones stored on the Dharma Ark are consumed rapidly. If this kind of firepower output is maintained for one minute, a secret realm can go bankrupt.
Fortunately, Su Jie is wealthy now. Among the many secrets in Ghost Ridge Palace, in terms of wealth, Su Jie who owns the Puppet Hall, plus the trophies captured in the past, can at least rank among the top five sects in terms of wealth.
"Hall Master, please name this Dharma boat. This will be your vehicle from now on."
After demonstrating the attack capabilities of the Fa Zhou, Chen Yun spoke appropriately.
Su Jie pondered for a while, then looked at the Thousand-Handed Centipede that crawled out of his sleeve robe and looked curiously. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Let's call it Thousand-Handed Centipede in memory of my little Qian."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jie used great magic power to carve the ancient Chinese characters "Qian Hands" on the side of the Feitian Dharma Boat, completing the naming for his vehicle. (End of chapter)
