After getting the beast car, Shang Bai spent three days to refine it, and finally succeeded in refining it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This magic weapon can also be used without refining and only filling in spirit stones, but then it can only play its flying role, and its attack and defense ability cannot be played. Now Shang Bai's mana has made great progress compared to when he sacrificed the Guiyuan Sword, and it is not as difficult to refine as it was at the beginning. After the completion of the sacrifice, the Tianji Society finally has its own official car, which can be on par with local tyrant societies like the Jingzhao Society and the Qunlong Society.

Those big societies outside the Tianji Academy all have the shadow of the core disciples of the inner sect behind them, so their resources are much richer than those of ordinary disciples. It's great to be able to put together a set of learning materials for an ordinary small club. However, those local tyrant associations were able to buy some magic utensils to decorate their façade in addition to preparing teaching materials.

However, the Tianji Society has such a scholar as Shang Bai, who is a scholar with a scholarship, and he has finally not been compared to those local tyrant clubs.

Every three years, there will be a small competition in the novice village to consider the cultivation progress of the disciples in the past three years. The top 100 have good rewards, while the top 10, top 3 and even first place have even more generous rewards. Early in the morning, Shang Bai listed the first place in Xiaobi as his goal. It is very difficult for a civilian community like him to develop if it does not win those rewards.

In particular, the sect will stop giving benefits to newcomers one year after they have started. At that time, all the disciples had to rely on themselves to find the resources they needed to cultivate.

The issue of resources is the biggest obstacle to the development of civil society.

Xiuzhen, many times it is a resource.

Since the battle with Meng Zhaohui, Shang Bai had stopped using spirit stones to cultivate and burn money, and there were not so many daily test techniques. Now he is still in the early stage of Qi refining, and his main homework is to penetrate the big and small Zhou Tian in order to enter the middle stage of Qi refining. Now there is no urgent need for fighting methods, so the proportion of the magic test has been reduced, and penetrating the meridians of the whole body and cultivating the Guiyuan Sword have become his main homework now.

Except for going to the Dharma Transmission Hall on the first day of each month to listen to Hong Suping explain the sword technique and exchanging cultivation experiences with the members of the Tianji Academy on the fifteenth day of each month, he basically spent the rest of his time practicing in Cangtengju. His cultivation intensity, if not the largest in the Novice Village, was at least one of them. Although cultivation is not advancing by leaps and bounds, it is also steadily increasing.

The members of the Heavenly Machine Society are also divided into four major departments due to their different cultivation directions. They are the Talisman Department presided over by Ning Rong, the Guard Department presided over by King Kong, the Logistics Department presided over by Lei Wuyang, and the Pill Department presided over by Qiu Chongdao. Except for the logistics department, which is slightly better, the other three departments are in urgent need of cultivation resources. Although there are now benefits from the sect every month, as the cultivation deepens, those benefits are becoming more and more insufficient.

The refining materials needed for refining, the various pills needed for refining the body, and the various medicinal materials needed for alchemy all need spirit stones to buy. And what the Tianji Society lacks the most is the spirit stone.

Only the logistics department presided over by Lei Wuyang, because the medicinal diet he developed was very good in the novice village, was quite famous in the novice village, and he also set up a mountain and sea building in Canglan Valley by the valley mouth for all the diners in the novice village. The daily income, after deducting the cost, also has a surplus, and by the way, it also solves the problem of food for the members of the Tianji Society.

Long-term Bigu does not have much benefit to low-level monks, and it will also cause a weakening of the physique. It is not advisable to eat fireworks before entering the Qi Refining Realm, and there is no such taboo after the Qi Refining Realm. And some of the medicinal diets developed by the Tianji Academy can not only be consumed before the Qi Refining Realm, but also speed up the speed at which the user enters the Qi Refining Realm. This is also the main reason why the logistics department presided over by Lei Wuyang can make a profit.

It's just that the spirit stones earned by the logistics department are far from enough to fill the deficit of the other three departments.

In the conference room on the highest floor of the Tianji Building, the five leaders of the Tianji Society sat together because of the resource crisis of the club.

"In the talisman making part, we have replaced the real talisman paper and spiritual sand with ordinary brushes, ink and yellow paper when practicing. This is a saving, but I don't know if the talisman I made has any effect. The only benefit is to be familiar with the steps of character making. Each person only has the opportunity to make symbols with qualified materials once a month, which seriously limits the progress of learning. Now two or three months have passed, and everyone is still spinning around at the lowest level of talismans. Ning Rong was the first to complain, "But this is not the worst, because everyone can make it with real materials once a month, but the refining tool is only one chance for everyone to refine it with real materials once a month." Usually, I just cut some wood to try my hand and make a bunch of goods. ”

"Forget it, you still have something to practice with. Qiu Chongdao smiled bitterly, "My pill department can't be replaced by something else. What kind of medicinal materials have what function, how to match, and what kind of heat is needed, this cannot be faked, it must be real. I'm the hardest here. ”

After the two complained about their grievances, they both stared at Lei Wuyang with their eyes.

Lei Wuyang was a little panicked, twisted his body uncomfortably and said, "Don't look at me with such resentful eyes." Although Shanhailou has a surplus, I still have to be responsible for the food of the entire Tianji Society, and there are a few left. Now I can only supply the third belt at most. The Guardians are our protectors, so you can't be mean, can you?"

King Kong gratefully arched his hand to the thunder and dance.

"Now I don't think we can collect enough membership fees!" Qiu Chongdao complained, "With such a low membership fee, there is no surplus at all, and even one more person is an additional burden." ”

"You can't say that," Ning Rong said, "It's true that you can't make ends meet, but if it weren't for such a low membership fee, how could we recruit so many people? Without so many people, what are we now? You have seen many people who cultivate alone, and they can't even prepare a copy of the teaching materials, and they are still being bullied everywhere." We are at least better than them. The resources are not as good as those clubs, but at least you have to learn, and you don't have to worry about being bullied by others when you go out. ”

What he said was also the truth, Qiu Chongdao nodded sullenly, scratched his head and said: "Now there are newcomer benefits, and they are already embarrassed like this." In a few months, the sect will cancel the distribution of benefits, what should we do then?"

The theme of their meeting has come out, that is, how to deal with the resource dilemma after the cancellation of newcomer benefits. They are all just teenagers, but the pressure of living in a different place has made them grow up quickly, and they have become little adults.

"Mixed Yuan Kendo has a history of more than a million years, which means that the Novice Village has also existed for more than 100,000 years. In this case, what did the previous newcomers do?" Shang Bai, who presided over the meeting, began to ask.

His time was mainly spent on cultivation, and he knew far less about the gossip of the historical sect than Ning Rong.

"The main thing is to go out of the mountains to find resources, or to complete the tasks assigned by the door to receive rewards. Ning Rong explained, "After a new beginner disciple enters the Qi Refining Realm, he can apply to go out of the mountain and obtain cultivation resources by himself. Everyone usually organizes groups to go to the depths of the vast mountains to collect medicinal herbs or hunt demon beasts in exchange for spirit stones. The sect will also issue sect tasks to disciples in the middle stage of qi refining and above, and there will be rewards for completing them. But both of these have certain risks, and most of the fall of the outer disciples is related to this. It's safer to go and work in the mines owned by the sect and get paid, but it's quite meager. ”

"There is also a grass hall that grows elixirs in your yard and can be sold when it matures. Qiu Chongdao added, "But the growth cycle of the elixir is relatively long, and it takes at least three or five years to make a profit, and it is far from quenching thirst." Of course, you can also choose to help the sect manage the medicine garden, and there will be a certain reward for managing it well, but it is also limited. ”

Shang Bai nodded in understanding, pondered for a long time, and turned his face to King Kong: "Second brother, the force of our Tianji Academy is mainly concentrated in your guard department, you can assess it yourself, if you lead the team out of the mountain to find resources, how risky is it?"

"I've thought about it, and to tell you the truth, it's too risky for us to afford. King Kong replied honestly, "Although there are no demon beasts in the mountainous area closest to the dojo, there are many fierce beasts such as tigers and wolves, which are not something we can compete with now." Some time ago, more than a dozen teams went out to the mountains to look for resources, and more than 20 people have been damaged, and more people have been injured. The sect did not object to us going out, but suggested that it was best for us to go out after we had entered the middle stage of Qi training. ”

"Tiger Wolf...... It's a problem......" Shang Bai tapped his finger on the table, "but we can't wait until we're in the middle stage of Qi cultivation to solve this problem. If the resource problem is not solved, you may not even have the qualifications to enter the middle stage of Qi training. But fortunately, we have Shanhai Tower, which can solve the resource problem of your guard department for the time being, so you will let it go for now. ”

He looked at Ning Rong and Qiu Chong again, "The biggest problem you have here is that you don't have the materials to practice, right?"

"yes, those materials are too expensive to consume. But if you don't consume or practice, you'll never learn anything. Ning Rong and Qiu Chongdao both looked entangled.

"I have such a suggestion-" Shang Bai said with some hesitation, "Before we entered, Senior Uncle Lu took us to Feixian City to recognize the doors of several shops opened by the monks of the Chu Kingdom, and they had refining weapons, talismans, and alchemists. I wondered if we could work with them and send a group of people to do apprenticeship for them, well, work a little less, not delay our own learning, but we can do without pay. So we can get the opportunity to practice even though we have lost some of our freedom, what do you think?"

"There are some shops in Feixian City that recruit apprentices, and there are also places like that in this sect. Ning Rong had obviously done some investigations, "But it has its problems, the most important thing is that the working time is too long, which seriously affects the apprentice's cultivation time." In this way, it can only be said that you can learn a skill, and it is difficult to get enough resources to enter the inner door with it. ”

"So my request was to work for a shorter period of time – we could get unpaid, just get the opportunity to practice. Shang Bai said.

Ning Rong smiled bitterly: "Newcomers like us used to only do chores and see what others did. It is impossible for us to practice for two or three years, and that is a pure waste of resources. No store is so generous. ”

Shang Bai explained: "My thinking is like this - we have a deep cooperation with those stores, not just an employment relationship. We at the Tianji Society can give them a ten-year cooperation agreement, and they will train us in the early days, and give us more opportunities to practice our hands, learn talisman making, refining tools, and alchemy. In the middle and late stages, we can feed them back after we finish our studies. Although they will lose a little at the beginning, but later we have really learned, we can work for them at a very low salary, and we can also sell them all kinds of resources at the best price, and they will also have to make money. ”

"The question is whether there are people who are willing to subsidize resources to cultivate us at the beginning, will they believe in our commitment to the future, will they believe that we have a future?" Ning Rong was still a little pessimistic, "What if they are afraid that we will not admit it after cultivating us? What if they are worried that a lot of resources will be wasted and we will not succeed in cultivating us?"

"So you want to find our store in Chu to seek cooperation. Uncle Lu should take us to visit those shops, he must think that he can take care of us, right? Even if they don't believe us, they should always believe Uncle Lu, right? I think that with Uncle Lu's face, I should be able to talk to them. And it's not to let them suffer, we can still repay them in the future. As for the issue of credibility and confidence-" Shang Bai smiled a little reservedly, "The name of the senior brother of the outer disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao this session should also play a little role, right?"

Senior Brother's name is naturally useful, otherwise Shang Bai would not be so desperate to fight for that title. Decades of experience in the dream world have taught him that fame can be turned into tangible benefits. Therefore, when he was in the Chu State, he fought for the name of a prodigy, and when he came to the Mixed Yuan Kendo, he fought for the name of the elder brother.

Fame has brought him a certain amount of trouble, but it is undeniable that it has brought him more benefits.

The new senior brother of the Mixed Yuan Kendo Outer Gate, the first person in two thousand years, such a person has no future, who has?

Thinking of this, Ning Rong's eyes couldn't help but light up: "This can be had." Even if all of us in the Tianji Society don't have a future, at least you have it, boss. Don't talk about a bright future, as long as the boss can enter the inner door and form this good fate with the boss, they will also earn it. ”

"Then let's work on this?" Shang Bai asked everyone's opinions.

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

No one raised any objections now.

However, Qiu Chongdao had another problem: "Even if the cooperation with them can be negotiated, but there are so many people in our two departments of talisman and pill, with the scale of their shops, it is impossible to solve them all." The remaining resource problem is still very serious. How can this be solved?"

"You still have to go out and find resources. Seeing that King Kong wanted to speak and stopped, Shang Bai said: "Second brother, don't be nervous, I won't ask your people to die, what we want first is to make ourselves stronger, and I won't act rashly before forming a repressive force." ”

King Kong breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried: "Before we entered the middle stage of Qi training, we didn't have the ability to suppress those fierce beasts in the mountains and forests. With martial arts alone, even Meng Zhaohui didn't dare to fight against a fierce tiger. However, if you want to enter the middle stage of Qi cultivation, you can't do it in one year or two—or this sect won't take ten years. ”

"I have a little idea about this, but I don't know if it will work. Shang Bai turned his head and asked Ning Rong, "Fourth, you said that you have read all my books, so do you remember one of the weapons in my book "Thirty Years in a Foreign Land"—a gun?"

"Do you say the kind of weapon that can kill people with a single pull of the trigger?" Ning Rong said excitedly, "Of course I remember!"
