Chapter 287 Planning and taking office
“It’s polite to be honest, this is what I should do.”
“Deploying this fourth-level spirit gathering array, currently, it has three functions "
Deacon Luo took out the formation disk and said aloud.
Then he started to demonstrate for Zhou Ling.
After a burst of light flashed on the array disk, wisps of mist condensed on the lake.
At this moment, Zhou Ling could clearly feel that the water aura on the lake was obviously richer.
“As the name suggests, the main function of the Spirit Gathering Array is to gather spiritual energy.”
“Once activated, the great array can condense the spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth, and also absorb the spiritual energy contained in the underground spiritual veins. Spiritual energy."
As he spoke, Deacon Luo's spiritual energy was injected into the array, and faint ripples surged on the lake.
Through [Intermediate Observation], Zhou Ling could clearly see the three formations in the lake.
The spiritual pressure of the water spirit beads placed at the formation's eye surged, and the spiritual energy on the lake became denser at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looks more and more pure.
“The effect of this water spirit bead is really good!”
Zhou Ling took a deep breath, feeling the pure water spirit energy, and said with a smile.
"Yes, there are three water spirit beads as the formation eyes, and the water spirit energy condensed is also the purest!"
"If enough water attribute spirit stones are invested, in less than a year, the water spirit energy can be condensed in the lake. Water Spirit Vein!"
Deacon Luo said with a smile.
Now that he is a guest of the Zhou family, the higher the level of the Zhou family's spiritual veins, the better it will be for him.
After the words fell, he made the magic formula with his hands, controlled the formation disk, and continued to demonstrate, "This second function is to gather the essence of the five elements."
"There is an earth vein magic array in the fourth-level spirit gathering array, which can connect to the underground earth energy and essence veins. It can not only increase the five elements of essence, but also condense and transform the five elements of essence into five elements of spiritual energy."
"Fourth level of gathering." The spiritual formation can condense hundreds of five elements of energy in one day!"
Only five vortexes flashed on the water, the original fog dissipated, and there seemed to be something swimming in the calm underground, accompanied by silk threads. Wisps of five-color light condensed out of the vortex.
The water vapor spreads, making the lake and mountains filled with light of five colors.
“Ten strands of Five Elements Essence can be condensed into one strand of Spiritual Energy, so with this Spirit Gathering Array, the Spiritual Energy within the Zhou family’s array will increase every day.”
"This will be of great benefit to condensing spiritual veins!"
"And there is inexhaustible underground essence underground in Qingyun Immortal City, which is also a great benefit!"
>"It will take some time to feel the effect."
"This kind of demonstration cannot achieve the specific effect!"
Deacon Luo held the formation plate and continued to introduce it to Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling nodded. Through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he could clearly feel the changes in the underground veins.
This spirit gathering array can also connect the earth veins and condense the five elements of essence contained in the earth veins.
Then with the help of the spirit gathering array, the essence of the five elements is transformed into spiritual energy.
This is also a key element in the formation and cohesion of many spiritual veins.
Most spiritual veins can be formed by condensing the essence of underground earth veins or the evil energy of earth veins.
When the Dao Alliance chose to build Qingyun Immortal City here, it was naturally not without purpose.
We must go through the exploration of the spiritual veins and earth veins of this place.
“The third function is the attribute of space. With this space spirit gathering array, in the future, the foundation of the spirit gathering array can be directly integrated into the collected spiritual veins.”
“Let the spirit gather. The veins become real veins. ”
“And it can not only fuse one spiritual vein, but also fuse different attribute spiritual veins.”
"After fusion, the spiritual vein level is enough to reach the fourth level."
"There is still room for further improvement in the future!"
Deacon Luo continued.
As he spoke, he condensed the effect of the space array.
In an instant, Zhou Ling felt his energy change, as if he was suddenly in an underground void.
There is a sense of vast emptiness.
"Okay, Deacon Luo is really amazing!"
Feeling the void around him, Zhou Ling showed a satisfied look on his face.
Whether it is collecting spiritual veins or implanting spiritual veins, it is an extremely huge project.
If you don’t have this space array, you need to implant spiritual veins.
Then there will be a lot of trouble.
Furthermore, this space array can condense fourth-level spiritual veins, and it will be improved in the future.
This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
After all, the fourth level of spiritual veins is enough to support the cultivation of Nascent Soul monks.
And there is still an extremely long distance before he can reach Nascent Soul.
"Zhizheng, these are the three main functions of the Spirit Gathering Array at present!"
Deacon Luo handed the array plate to Wang Xin and said.
"In other cases, we will continue to add arrangements in the future!"
These days, he has been arranging formations at the Zhou family, and there is a lot going on at the Tiangong Department.
There are still some areas that need to be improved in the formation.
Then slowly improve it.
“Thank you for your hard work, Deacon Luo!”
Zhou Ling nodded. Through the introduction of the two talents and Deacon Luo, he knew that the spirit gathering formation was now very complete.
The follow-up matters will be gradually improved by Deacon Luo.
“This is a little bit of my thoughts, please accept it from Deacon Luo.”
Zhou Ling took out a prepared gift from the storage ring and handed it to Deacon Luo.
Although Deacon Luo is now a guest of the Zhou family, he receives a certain amount of offerings every month.
But these days, non-stop, consume a lot of money, Zhou Ling also prepared some pills for him to help him recover as soon as possible.
“Thank you, Zhizheng!”
Deacon Luo took it and thanked him.
Naturally, he joined the Zhou family as a guest, not because he wanted to be worshiped by the Zhou family.
With his attainments in formations, people are invited wherever he goes.
The main reason is that Zhou Ling is upright and has great potential in the future.
I still have to give this face.
“There are still many matters at the Tiangong Division, so I will go back first!”
Deacon Luo cupped his hands with Zhou Ling again.
Zhou Ling nodded.
After Deacon Luo left, Zhou Ling took out five middle-grade water-attribute spiritual stones and asked Wang Xin to put them into the array disk to activate the array.
First increase the water attribute aura.
Placing the spirit stones into the array plate, Wang Xin immediately activated the magic spell to activate the spirit gathering array.
Suddenly there was a mist on the lake.
·······.
The next half month.
Guests come to visit every day, mostly from aristocratic families.
Mainly discussing the purchase of treasures with Zhou Ling.
The workshop business is in full swing!
Logically speaking, there are many family workshops in Qingyun Fairy City, and the Zhou family workshop was established not long ago.
Currently, Zhou Ling is the only one who can refine a third-level treasure.
We won’t let these established families flock to them.
Of course, generally, business can only be concluded outside of business.
The business of Zhoujia Workshop can be so prosperous.
There are mainly three reasons.
First, in addition to Zhou Ling being able to refine the third-level sword, he is also in charge of the Tiangong Division.
Secondly, he is still the son-in-law of the Wang family.
Third, Zhou Ling is a heavenly guard with great potential in the future and is worthy of association.
You know, Zhou Ling is only sixteen years old now, and he has such a shocking level of weapon refining.
With the current foundation and the support of forces behind it, the achievements in the future will definitely be high.
Other forces will naturally look for opportunities to make friends with them.
Refining weapons through the workshop is undoubtedly the best choice.
In this situation, Zhou Ling could only do what he could.
Understand the situation of each order in detail, and if it is not an urgent order, we will try our best to accept it. The workshop with five refining furnaces was originally planned, but now it seems that it is still not enough.
The workshop will be expanded next.
Fortunately, we had a plan.
So it’s not a big problem.
Just ask Deacon Luo to rearrange the earth fire formation and draw out a line of earth fire.
·······.
After a few days of busy work, the affairs of the workshop were handed over to Yuanhu and the others.
Zhou Ling also needs to ensure enough practice time every day.
Fortunately, he has the Sixth Transformation Spiritual Flame Technique and the Five Elements Spiritual Flame to assist him in his cultivation, allowing him to make rapid progress in his cultivation.
According to this progress, he estimates that next year will be enough to reach the peak of foundation building.
During this time, Zhou Ling was also thinking about his next plan.
Now he has a total of four identities.
Teaching at Xuanyuan Taoist Academy and Jiutian Sword Academy.
Tiangong Si Tianwei and Zhizheng.
There is also the Xuanwei of the Evil-Slaying Department.
Today, for him, his identity as a righteous person is undoubtedly the most important.
Not only does it have great power, but it also has access to many resources.
This will be of great help to the subsequent reconstruction of Lingxiao Sect.
Of course, although he is already Zhizheng, Qin Zhizheng has always taken care of him in the Tiangong Division.
Therefore, he has been practicing with peace of mind. Apart from completing the tasks of the Tiangong Division, he has not had any interactions with other colleagues.
To put it simply, he has no power of his own in the Tiangong Division.
“When I become an official, I will definitely have to deal with important figures from other major forces.”
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
Fortunately, Lu Yunxi helped arrange the affairs of the Tiangong Department, so it was not a big problem for him.
When you reach the later stage of foundation building, you will naturally have to make more preparations for the matter of forming pills.
Zhou Ling still has some clear understanding of his own abilities.
For anything, you still need to prepare well in advance to be prepared.
Now he already has the Jade Return Golden Pill in his hand, as well as the auxiliary condensed golden pill spiritual object obtained from the master.
Preparations for condensing the golden elixir and spiritual objects have basically been completed.
Although the process seems smooth, I know how difficult it is.
Like now, he wanted to prepare a jade-returning elixir for Wang Xin, but he had no idea at all.
There are only one or two Tianpin Jade Returning Gold Pills distributed by the Four Avenues Courtyard every year.
“It seems we still have to find a solution in the Tiangong Division!”
Zhou Ling secretly thought.
With his status as a guard and an official, he still has a good chance of getting the Tianpin Jade Returning Gold Elixir.
Besides, Xin'er has just entered the middle stage of foundation building, so she is not in a hurry.
Generally speaking, even for high-grade spiritual roots, it will take at least several years to practice from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.
If there is not enough resource supply, it may take more than ten years or even decades.
However, although Wang Xin has a middle-grade spiritual root, she is a dark fire spirit.
The actual talent is no less than an earth-level spiritual root, and the level of the cultivation techniques is not low.
As long as there are sufficient resources, it is completely possible to reach the late stage of foundation building within two or three years.
“However, now that Xin’er has a child, her cultivation progress will naturally be greatly reduced!”
Zhou Ling shook her head.
There are still nine years left before the time agreed with the Wang family.
In Zhou Ling's view, this is no longer a problem at all.
"Everything is going smoothly now."
"Next, we must improve our cultivation as soon as possible and strive to form elixirs as soon as possible."
"Complete the master's reconstruction of Lingxiao Sect. wish!”
Zhou Ling already has a rough idea in mind for the next plan.
Improve your cultivation as soon as possible and strive to form elixirs as soon as possible.
In addition, the planning and establishment of Lingxiao Sect must also be prepared for daily use.
After all, the establishment of a sect is not that easy.
It requires spiritual land, spiritual veins and other resources. Without advance planning, it may not be possible to prepare properly even if it takes several years.
Of course, weapon refining and swordsmanship cannot be left behind.
These two are the foundation for his current ability to gain a foothold in Qingyun Immortal City.
After thinking about it this way, there are quite a lot of things.
And they are all big things.
He also knows that there is no rush, he can only do it step by step and develop slowly.
“Tomorrow is the day when I officially take office!”
"I don't think so much anymore, let's go to sleep first!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling immediately got up and left the practice room.
·······.
Tiangong Division, side hall.
Zhou Lingjing sat on the Taishi chair.
Lu Yunxi was sitting aside.
“There are currently 380 deacons and 6 deputy deacons in the Engineering Department.”
“Among them, there are 36 third-grade deacons and 190 second-grade deacons. There are one hundred and sixty first-class deacons."
"Among them are fifty-two alchemists, eighty weapon refiners, sixty rune masters, thirty formation masters, and the others are puppet masters. Beast masters and other minor Taoist masters."
Lu Yunxi reported to Zhou Ling with the roster in her hand.
"Sister Yun Xi, what tasks do we have every month in our Tiangong Department now?"
There are less than four hundred people, which is a little less than Zhou Ling expected. Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.
After all, Qingyun Immortal City is a fourth-grade Immortal City with an extremely wide scope.
There are sixteen Yuanying families alone, and even more Jindan families.
Most of the elixirs, treasures, etc. needed by these aristocratic families are purchased from Tiangong Division.
With just this few manpower, it is impossible to support the huge consumption of Qingyun Immortal City.
"Nowadays, the Tiangong Division mainly supplies supplies from two aspects."
"On the one hand, it is the consumption of elixirs and treasures from Xuanting Division and other Taoist alliance departments in Immortal City."
"The other is to provide some aristocratic families with domain development resources."
"Now Qingyun Fairy City has been experiencing beast tides for many years, and cults such as the Blood Soul Sect are also within control."
"So the main consumption in normal times is to support other families to expand their territories."
Lu Yunxi said.
"If the production of Tiangong Division's treasures is insufficient, will it affect the development of the family's realm?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ling asked.
The treasures needed by the Song family to expand their territory last time were all provided by the Zhou family.
"This depends on the specific situation. At present, the quality and price of Tiangongsi's treasures are higher than those of the outside world."
"Some aristocratic families will choose to purchase through other channels, so it generally won't have any impact! ”
Lu Yunxi explained.
Zhou Ling nodded.
“Currently, a third-level deacon needs to refine six fifth-level treasures every month.”
"Ten pieces of the second grade, twenty pieces of the first grade!"
"Taking it all together, the quantity is still a bit insufficient!"
Lu Yunxi continued to introduce to Zhou Ling.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned slightly. This output is really not flattering.
However, the deacons of the Tiangong Division are all people within the system.
Like he did before, it was basically just soy sauce.
Of course, many people think this way.
He had just taken office, so naturally he had no intention of changing anything.
And with the assistance of Lu Yunxi, he is ready to directly follow Cao Cao and follow the original route of Qin Zhizheng!
