Chapter 113: Expedition Preparations
Hearing this, Lin Xuan and even the Venerable Lord of Luoyun Mountain and the others were a little silent, and finally Luoyun Mountain said with some apologies for the Venerable Lord: "Xia Yumeng was plundered three months ago because of the undercover plot of some traitors in the door during the war. If Brother Tai sees this person again, he needs to be more cautious, because if she is still alive, she is probably no longer his own person. Unless there is a person who is good at the peak of spiritual power Jindan or even the level of Yuan Infant Ancestor, absolute safety cannot be ensured. In order to express my apologies, Brother Tai can mention whatever compensation he wants, and Brother Tai now has such strength, plus our indebtedness, I can make concessions to the deputy lord instead of the guest secretary acting as the quasi-master... ”
Of course, Zhang Fan knew that the deputy lord did not sound as powerful as the acting lord of Keqing, and he could have more practical conveniences and privileges. The guest lord does not have a lot of key personnel power and goes to some important places in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but the deputy lord has this power. It's just that Zhang Fan was silent for a long time at this time, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. What makes Zhang Fan happy is that although he has some feelings for Xia Yumeng, after all, it is not the level of life and death lovers like some romance novels, and it is just a little unhappy. With Zhang Fan's mental strength and intelligence at this time, he seemed to feel something unusual, maybe Xia Yumeng was not snatched away or died, but showed some talent or was sent to some other hidden place to ask the master to teach spells and practice. As for why these people don't tell the truth, it probably involves some secrets that the mid-stage Jindan monks have no right to divulge, right? Of course, even so, if he meets Xia Yumeng in the future, he can only treat him as a stranger at the beginning, because no one can guarantee that he will not become another person, especially Zhang Fan understands that Xia Yumeng's character is by no means a perfect character that only the top supporting characters in some novels have, and it should have some greed that most mortals have.
"Thanks for the reminder, maybe that's fine. If she really has a great opportunity, staying with me all the time and just being a double cultivation partner may also delay her future... While saying this, Zhang Fan suddenly felt a sense of urgency. Because he was really not sure that Xia Yumeng would keep some of his secrets in the face of some special means. If this person is alienated, or controlled by others, or even leaks secrets, I am afraid that it will be a great harm to himself. It seems that now that he is theoretically barely able to deal with the peak powerhouse of Jindan or the early stage of the Yuan Infant cultivator, to a large extent, he is still in danger. Qiankun Shield is such a heavy treasure, maybe the strong people in the Yuan Infant may be tempted, and they can't cope with it with their current strength. The only thing that can barely reassure me is that as a promising powerhouse with modern memories and mental strength is not low, he may be able to raise his strength to a level that can deal with the peak powerhouse of Yuanying in a short period of time? This is of course a fool's dream for ordinary monks, in the legend, even some talented cultivators need two or three hundred years of history after the golden pill to enter the threshold of the Yuan Infant, and it is possible to become a strong Yuan Infant in a thousand years. It's just that for those who can effectively use foreign objects and use various means of meridian fingers, it may not be without opportunities.
"Since the Lord has given it to the Deputy Lord, then I am not welcome: it should be safe outside now. I think that some of the disciples can go out to take charge of the general administration of the entire Luoyun Mountain City first. Otherwise, I'm worried that after a long time, a million miles around may be chaotic, and the city-states will attack each other because they have no constraints, and this kind of thing seems to have happened in history. In addition, I also plan to read some exercises books that are suitable for the peak level of foundation building and even the early stage of Jindan, and there are some materials to be prepared to be implemented. If my expectations are correct, outside the library building, there should be some maps with more detailed information within a radius of at least 2,000 to 30 million miles, right? For example, where did the materials of some of the talismans, wind escape talismans, and thunder talismans used in Luoyun Mountain come from, I think it should not only rely on some seizures in the process of confronting the evil path?" Of course, Zhang Fan also learned a lot of things from Lin Muxue. In the area near the barren West Sea, many magic-oriented monks in the Luoyun system also seem to have some mobility and defense power that only martial arts-oriented monks have, which is very unusual, and it was later learned that there were some spells that pressed the bottom of the box. Among the attacks that Zhang Fan had encountered before, there were also some thunder talismans that he had not seen before.
These talismans seem to have little meaning to Zhang Fan, who is now powerful, but Zhang Fan also has some ideas about the use of these talismans, and if his ideas can be implemented, maybe there will be
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the Venerable Lord of Luoyun Mountain bluntly ordered someone to come to a scroll that seemed to be very mysterious at this time: "The map near Luoyun Mountain is divided into seven levels. They are a million-mile overview map and a million-mile general knowledge, which can be known by ordinary outsiders and ordinary people without spending too much cost. 50 million miles of general knowledge is considered a top secret. Except for Zai Xia himself, even the most outstanding foundation building peak disciple Jin Guang didn't know. Because within a radius of 50 million miles, there are quite some very dangerous places. If an ordinary foundation building peak disciple is close to basically ten deaths, even a genius disciple who has experienced the extreme realm twice will not be able to do it, that is, just like a master of the mid-stage Jindan realm like Xia and Brother Tai, he has a little chance of luck. Of course, I advise Brother Tai to take seriously some of the admonitions in this Liberal Sense Sutra, and the above admonitions are also aimed at some geniuses who possess two extremes and have many means. For example, the fifth-order demon beast ostensibly corresponds to a monk at the mid-stage level of Jindan, but it is often not something that an ordinary mid-stage Jindan monk can fight against... ”
"Of course I know that I will have some of my plans ... Of course, Zhang Fan also has some secrets of his own to protect, even if it has been slightly speculated, it is more appropriate not to explain it thoroughly.
In this way, Zhang Fan took Lin Xuan and half of the Fu Dao disciples and even all the martial arts disciples out of the secret palace temporarily, restored Luoyun Mountain City and its adjacent areas, and issued some notices to the outside world at the same time, so as to prevent the 100,000 cities within the entire Luoyun Mountain system from becoming a melee area for the city-state that no one cared for. At the same time, from some spare warehouses to the notices sent to each pool, there are also a lot of quasi-dark iron and even dark iron raw material collection tasks and bronze collection needs. In Zhang Fan's opinion, based on his existing conditions: there is still room for improvement in the strength of the Divine Thunder Artillery Array. For the time being, there is obviously not so much storage space of about 160,000 tons, and 120,000 tons of it is not harmful to use it for armament. If the amount of ammunition for the giant divine thunder cannon that he can use at any time is increased to the standard of about 90 to 100 guns, then there is no doubt that his strength will be improved a lot when facing some strong enemies, and he may be more sure to deal with strong enemies in the early stage of Yuan Ying?
In the next time, Zhang Fan's focus on improving his combat effectiveness was on his own talisman and even protective means. There is no doubt about it: I am now like a 20mm grenade launcher shooter with a 10-ton yield miniature nuclear bomb-class warhead, but I don't even have basic body armor. I'm afraid that the attack power has the strength of the Yuanying high-level, and his own defense power is just a very ordinary foundation building peak monk, which is too crispy. Dealing with opponents whose mental power does not exceed their own and can be perceived by themselves at any time may not be too much of a disadvantage, but if you face those strong enemies who also surpass yourself in mental power, and may even have some mental skills, stealth, formations, and other treasures, then you will definitely be able to make yourself unable to eat and walk around in the active attack. Strengthening the defensive capability and the early warning capability to a certain extent is his top priority, and he can only count on some very powerful talismans.
According to Zhang Fan's understanding, the two types of talismans and wind escape talismans that are very powerful need some powerful demon beasts to assist. A powerful talisman requires the inner pill of a high-level demon beast, the spirit core of the Mud Pill Palace, and even the bloodline. The Wind Escape Charm requires some monster runes that are very good at flying attacks. There are also some very rare talismans, such as invisibility talismans, perceptual talismans that can transcend the limits of spiritual power and feel some bad luck, which require some materials on the corpses of demon beasts of the corresponding nature to be the basis of the talismans. By understanding some of the contents on the top-secret map of the "50 Million Miles of General Knowledge", Zhang Fan also roughly learned about some extremely dangerous areas thousands of miles away where some fifth-order or even more mysterious sixth-order demon beasts might haunt. These areas are for ordinary Jindan mid-stage monks to come or die for a lifetime, but according to some introductions in the general knowledge. There had been some Jindan high-level ancestors who had broken through the danger area of fifth-order demon beasts and thought that the risk could be controlled. The area where the sixth-order demon beasts may be infested can be regarded as a very dangerous place for high-level Jindan monks. And from the map, it is generally seen that the tens of millions of miles of no-man's land around the "known world" of the Luoyun Mountains are more dangerous the closer to the periphery, and maybe there are some more dangerous existences beyond the range of 50 million miles?
If you want to be more sure and gain more in the adventure, you must also use the resources in the Luoyun Mountain system to temporarily make more adequate preparations, and once again improve your combat effectiveness and response ability...
In this way, in the next month or so, with the personal help of the Lord of Luoyun Mountain and even some disciples at the peak of foundation building, tens of thousands of tons of copper were quickly re-mined and gathered. Zhang Fan tried every means to concentrate in the forbidden land he demarcated--- but he was actually hidden in the Qiankun shield by himself. The quasi-Xuantie mortal realm is already a good immortal, but under the direct use of the resources in Zhang Fan's organization, this kind of quasi-Xuantie is basically not looked down upon. The high-grade dark iron or the best grade of real dark steel in the known world is the raw material you need. Because the entire Luoyun Mountain could not make up thousands of kilograms of Zhenxuan steel to be used as a warhead, Zhang Fan had to use the aura and time in the Qiankun shield to carry out some unique secret processing according to some legendary methods, so that he could barely make the Shenlei cannon shells in the Qiankun shield "change shotguns". Not only are the materials completely new compared to before, but there are also some wind shelters that can make the effective range of high speed longer. How to make these divine thunder cannon shells have a certain "rune seal guidance ability" through the way of "vacuum line guidance" through the talisman also made Zhang Fan finally study it.
At the same time, using some new materials and the two spirit stones raised, he not only became much more relaxed in the redundancy of the cultivation of the spirit gathering grass, but also recreated a new "hangfa" installed in the Qiankun shield, and thought of some ways to reduce the external heat of the shield in high-speed flight, so that the Qiankun shield can fly safely and at high speed for a long time, and maneuver more effectively.
When all the means to improve combat effectiveness were almost excavated under Zhang Fan's imagination and creativity at this time, Zhang Fan finally decided to start his first expedition after coming to the Boundless Continent.
Of course, even if he encounters a bottleneck and can't upgrade again, Zhang Fan can still spend more time making more adequate preparations to improve his combat effectiveness, such as raising more offensive talismans. But as soon as Zhang Fan felt that he had asked too much for Luoyun Mountain these days, he was afraid that he would leave some bad impressions, and the words of the Jindan Eight Rank Evil Dao Master who had been eliminated by himself before still made Zhang Fan a little worried. He said that for a year or so, with his own experience, the strong enemy at the early level of the Yuan Infant crossed a distance of nearly 100 million miles, and it probably wouldn't take that long to think about going back and forth, and the Luoyun Mountain system at this time was still a dangerous place for the time being, and the sooner he completed the upgrade of his combat effectiveness, the sooner he could deal with the crisis that he might face at any time because of the heavy treasure in his hand.
