#692 - We are just a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world.
Jun Wuxie arrived at the Elder Hall of the Xuanyuan Clan, and the nine elders came out together, warmly welcoming him inside.
“Wuxie, please sit.”
The Grand Elder was very polite and personally brewed tea, taking out rare tea leaves that he usually couldn't bear to drink.
The other elders all looked at him, their eyes filled with amazement and emotion.
Every time they thought about this young man's rise, they felt like they were witnessing a legend.
Each time he left and they met again, they were always deeply shocked.
When he left the capital, he was only in the late stage of the Saint Realm, but today, more than half a year later, he was already in the middle stage of the Lesser Celestial Realm.
The tremendous improvement in his overall strength was not only reflected in the improvement of his realm.
A Lesser Celestial Realm cultivator who could knock back an old Half-Saint in the early stage of the Greater Celestial Realm with one punch—such strength, in this realm, could be called unprecedented!
“Wuxie, you've come here late at night, you must have important matters to discuss. If you have anything, just say it.”
The Grand Elder said with a smile while brewing tea.
Jun Wuxie nodded and went straight to the point, saying, “I heard that your Xuanyuan Clan is well-versed in the art of refining weapons. I happen to have some superior materials here, ready to forge some armor, arm guards, battle boots, warhorse armor, shields, Modao swords, rapid-firing crossbows, large war chariot equipment, and so on.”
“Weapon refining, our Xuanyuan Clan certainly has no problem with that, but if you want to forge these, the materials required will definitely not be a small amount.”
“Yes, of course.” Jun Wuxie thought for a moment and said, “For refining Half-Saint level items, is it necessary to use 100% Half-Saint level materials?”
“That depends on what quality of Half-Saint weapon you want to refine.”
Jun Wuxie took out a brick-sized piece of Profound Gold and said, “Look, what quality of armor or weapon can be forged with this kind of material?”
“This is… Hundred-Refined Profound Gold!”
The nine elders' pupils shrank, and they looked at him in surprise, saying, “Where did you get this thing? Hundred-Refined Profound Gold is a rare material above the pinnacle quality of Half-Saint, strictly speaking, its quality is infinitely close to Saint-grade! If you use all Hundred-Refined Profound Gold to refine weapons, you can refine defensive equipment or weapons that are infinitely close to Saint-grade! But this kind of metal is too rare, it would be a waste to use it all for forging. It can be used as a core material, supplemented by Nine-Star Top-Grade or Peerless-Grade materials, according to a ratio of one part Hundred-Refined Profound Gold to four parts Nine-Star Top-Grade or Peerless-Grade materials.”
“One to four?” Jun Wuxie stroked his chin and thought. If that's the case, the quantity of weapons refined will be greatly increased, and the consumption of top-grade materials can be reduced several times. “What grade can the refined weapons reach with this ratio?”
“Half-Saint Pinnacle!”
The Grand Elder said that even if a large amount of Nine-Star materials were added, the highest quality Half-Saint weapons could still be refined, because the Hundred-Refined Profound Gold material is infinitely close to Saint-grade. Using special refining techniques to fuse it with Nine-Star materials can make the Nine-Star materials have the toughness of Half-Saint Pinnacle materials.
Jun Wuxie was overjoyed. Such a ratio can still refine Half-Saint Pinnacle weapons?
It seems that he still underestimated the Hundred-Refined Profound Gold. This material is above the Half-Saint Pinnacle and infinitely close to Saint-grade. It seems to be only slightly higher in quality than the Half-Saint Pinnacle, but in fact, there is a huge difference.
How big is this difference? It's so big that one part of Profound Gold's energy can be fused with four parts of Nine-Star materials, ultimately making the Nine-Star materials achieve the effect of Half-Saint Pinnacle materials!
“Are you preparing to use Hundred-Refined Profound Gold to refine armor and weapons for yourself, or for the people around you?”
“No, I'm preparing to build a special vanguard cavalry legion of about one million people, all equipped with Half-Saint Pinnacle armor and weapons, arming them to the teeth.”
“What?”
The elders of the Xuanyuan Clan were dumbfounded, suspecting that their ears were playing tricks on them.
“That's impossible. A million-man legion, how much Hundred-Refined Profound Gold would that require? Moreover, the amount of Nine-Star materials needed is also an astronomical figure. Even if our Xuanyuan Clan supports it with all its strength, emptying the treasure vault wouldn't be enough to produce that much. Gathering one-tenth of it would be the limit!”
“I don't have that much Hundred-Refined Profound Gold, but there are other materials of the same quality as Hundred-Refined Profound Gold. Do you think these are enough?”
With a wave of his hand, one treasure chest after another appeared out of thin air and landed in the courtyard, piled up, forming a mountain.
A full ten thousand treasure chests!
Each treasure chest shimmered with golden light.
“What's inside?”
The nine elders breathed rapidly and quickly stepped forward. With a wave of their sleeves, they rolled up the treasure chests, spreading them out in the valley, and then swept their palms over them, opening all the treasure chests.
At this moment, various rays of light shone out, illuminating the entire valley into a colorful world.
“My God…”
They were stunned, rubbing their eyes hard, fearing that what they saw before them was an illusion.
Earth Core Iron, Star Jade, Hundred-Refined Profound Gold, Moonstone, Stardust Stone…
“Hahaha, we're rich! Richer than the stars!”
The Grand Elder lost his composure, trembling all over, his lips quivering, laughing wildly at the sky.
The amount of these rare materials in front of them was too terrifying, something they wouldn't dare to imagine even in their dreams!
He counted them, a full four thousand boxes of Earth Core Iron.
Earth Core Iron is the lowest quality material among these, but it is also of Half-Saint Pinnacle quality. The other Star Jade, Hundred-Refined Profound Gold, Moonstone, Stardust Stone, etc., are all materials that are infinitely close to Saint-grade!
There are one thousand boxes of materials that are infinitely close to Saint-grade.
These boxes are not small in size, two meters long, and more than one meter high and wide!
According to the density and quality of these materials, the weight of one box must be 50,000 kilograms!
“Let me calculate, how many defensive equipment and weapons can these materials forge…” The Grand Elder was so excited that he couldn't control himself. “The armor, helmet, leg guards, battle boots, arm guards, weapons, and shields on a soldier's body weigh about 250 kilograms, and the warhorse armor requires twice the amount of material for cavalry, 500 kilograms. So, one person and one horse need 750 kilograms of material! According to a ratio of one to four, one person and one horse only needs 150 kilograms of materials that are infinitely close to Saint-grade…”
“Such a box of materials can meet the equipment configuration of more than three hundred cavalrymen! One thousand boxes are more than three hundred thousand! There are six thousand boxes here, which can meet the full equipment of more than two million cavalrymen!”
“And this Earth Core Iron, if it is not used to forge horse armor, but only to forge equipment for soldiers, it can equip at least several million people!”
“Well, it seems to be completely enough. In addition to the cavalry, the Black Armor Army doesn't need such thick armor, and the Earth Core Iron should be able to meet the equipment needs of all the soldiers. As for the materials for rapid-firing crossbows, use Nine-Star materials and beast bones to refine them.” Jun Wuxie said here, thought for a while, and said: “The arrows for the rapid-firing crossbows must be rune arrows, and they must be the kind that can be automatically recycled. These must rely on your Xuanyuan Clan's weapon refiners and rune masters.”
“As long as we have the materials, we can work harder, but now that we have the top-grade materials, the more important issue is the number of Nine-Star Top-Grade materials…”
“It's not a problem.”
As Jun Wuxie spoke, he opened the Eternal Life Shrine, and Nine-Star Peerless-Grade materials flew out continuously, piling up into a high mountain.
The elders of the Xuanyuan Clan were completely dumbfounded.
“Where… where did you get so many materials?”
They simply couldn't believe it. Even if they emptied the treasure vaults of all the forces in the entire Emperor Beginning Star, it would be impossible to gather so many high-level materials!
If these things were taken to auction, any one of them would be priceless!
“An extraterrestrial ruin. I looted the treasure vault of a certain force. These things are their accumulation of tens of millions of years.”
The elders of the Xuanyuan Clan looked at each other, speechless for a long time.
No wonder there was such an amazing amount. A force that has been inherited for tens of millions of years had its treasure vault looted by him.
How did Jun Wuxie do it?
That kind of force must be extremely powerful. Judging from these resources, it is probably much stronger than their Xuanyuan Clan.
But such a force's treasure vault was actually looted!
“With these things, once the equipment is refined, the strength of the imperial army will increase more than a hundredfold!”
“Well, this matter must be expedited. I plan to announce to the world in a while that the imperial dynasty will be established, and the Great Zhou will be officially renamed the Immortal Execution Dynasty!”
After he finished speaking, he sacrificed the corpses of the five divine beasts, causing the elders of the Xuanyuan Clan to almost fall to the ground.
“Such vigorous life essence, is this a Beast King in the Extreme Celestial Realm?”
They swallowed their saliva, their tongues unable to straighten, the visual and psychological impact they suffered today was too intense.
“One is a divine beast born and raised in the extraterrestrial ruins, infinitely close to the Saint Realm. The remaining four are Saint Realm divine beasts from the Upper Realm. They chased and killed me in the extraterrestrial ruins, but I killed them instead. Their bodies are treasures. This flesh and blood can be used for the Black Armor Army to eat, enhancing the soldiers' physical strength and increasing their cultivation speed. The bones can be used to refine weapons, and the skin can be used to refine protective inner armor for the people around me and the young disciples of the Immortal Execution Sword Sect. If you people of the Xuanyuan Clan want such armor, you can refine it yourself, anyway, there are enough materials.”
Thump…
The nine elders fell to the ground one after another, looking at him in horror, unable to recover for a long time.
Upper Realm divine beast?
Divine beasts in the Saint Realm?
Jun Wuxie actually killed divine beasts in the Saint Realm, and four of them!
They couldn't imagine how he did it!
“Everyone, come back to your senses.” Jun Wuxie couldn't help but laugh at their stunned appearance, and said, “Get up quickly, the ground is cold, come help me decompose the corpses of these divine beasts. I'll take the blood away, and leave the rest here for you to use as you see fit. Anyway, now many things in the imperial dynasty are managed by the high-level members of your clan.”
“Hey, we are just a bunch of country bumpkins who haven't seen the world, we are almost scared to death…”
The Grand Elder came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh, but the expression on his face was extremely excited.
Immediately, they rolled up their sleeves, took out sharp blades, and followed Jun Wuxie towards the five divine beasts, beginning to skin them, dissect the flesh, remove the internal organs, and extract the bones.
These divine beasts were enormous, each several hundred meters long, like a mountain, and their blood volume was astonishing.
Not to mention the flesh, a single divine beast had tens of millions of pounds of it.
“Wuxie, can you spare some of this blood for us?”
The elders of the Xuanyuan clan looked at him expectantly.
“Take as much as you want.”
Jun Wuxie naturally wouldn't be stingy. The divine beasts were incredibly heavy, and their blood volume was equally astonishing, with each one yielding hundreds of thousands of pounds of blood.
He also took out the divine beast skeletons he had dissected in the extraterrestrial ruins and left them here, only keeping most of the blood and some of the essence flesh for himself.
“You must hurry with the weapon forging. You will also have to trouble yourselves to go to the military camp and discuss with the Xuanjia Army generals, listen to what special requirements they have for equipment, and follow their requests.”
After he finished speaking, he gave each of them a Hundredfold Berry and shared the cultivation insights and experiences from the Myriad Laws Codex with them.
“Wuxie! Remember to come and visit us more often when you have time, especially the Holy Maiden's place, go and connect with her more!”
Seeing that Jun Wuxie had already gone far, the Great Elder shouted at the top of his lungs from behind.
Jun Wuxie paused. This old man was really meddling in things that didn't concern him, actually starting to play matchmaker?
It was almost late at night when he came out of the Xuanyuan clan.
The capital city was brightly lit, but very quiet, not as noisy as during the day.
People had a rich nightlife, and many people could still be seen walking on the streets.
He didn't go directly back to Zongwang Mountain, but went to Ice Cloud Tower.
Mu Xue Lan hadn't appeared for two days since he returned.
If he didn't go to see her again, that sensitive woman would probably be resentful again.
