Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In the north of Pushan County of Chen State, the Ji's Allied Forces and the Sun and Moon Alliance each have tens of thousands of soldiers, facing each other.

The two sides fought a small battle for three days and a big battle for five days.

In the beginning, the Sun-Moon Alliance was still in a weak position and could only retreat steadily. After the three elders of the Sun-Moon Alliance returned, the situation was slightly stabilized and the defeat was no longer so ugly.

In recent days, the railway in the rear has been reopened to traffic, and the Fourth Elder has transferred a group of personnel and materials from each branch to the front line.

Especially after almost all of the last batch of 2,000 militiamen in Ningjing County died in battle, another 2,000 militiamen were sent by train.

These militiamen are all tenants who forage in the fields. During their free time, they will organize themselves to practice military formations and practice some basic warrior skills. However, their nutrition cannot keep up, and their actual physical combat effectiveness is not much better than that of ordinary people.

If it were normal, these militiamen would be as fragile as paper in front of the immortal cultivators.

But now these 2,000 militiamen are all equipped with second-generation spiritual tools produced by the arsenal, and the power they can exert is equivalent to that of an early-stage foundation-building monk.

2000 is equivalent to the combat power in the early stage of foundation building. On this battlefield of tens of thousands of people who mainly focus on Qi training, it is already a force that cannot be underestimated.

After the militia from Ningjing County joined the war, they finally leveled the battlefield situation. The Sun-Moon Alliance no longer suffered a one-sided defeat, but could occasionally win small victories.

The success of the militia has brought the spiritual weapon back into the sight of all major forces.

The Zhou Dynasty did not lack the manufacturing technology of spiritual tools, and this inheritance was preserved in the libraries of many major powers.

It's just that it wasn't taken seriously before. After all, spiritual tools are just external objects and are of no use to cultivation.

The most important thing is that once this kind of thing becomes widespread and controlled by ordinary people, it will be very detrimental to the rule of the aristocratic class.

The situation is different now. Nowadays, in troubled times, if you don’t use it, others will.

Affected by this battle, many major forces are quietly studying spiritual tool refining technology.

For those who do not have the ability to refine them, please contact Ningjing County directly to purchase them.

Zhang He accepted all requests for purchasing spiritual tools.

There are currently two categories of spiritual tools produced in Ningjing County. One is the spiritual tool that can exert the power of magic during the Qi training period and is called the No. 1 spiritual tool.

The other type is the model currently used by the 2000 militia. It can exert the power of foundation building and is called the No. 2 spiritual tool.

The principle of spiritual tools is to convert the spiritual power in spiritual stones into spells through rune formations and release them.

The spiritual tools within each major category can actually be subdivided into many types based on the spells they can release.

For example, release fireball, ice cone, water dragon, entanglement, earth wall...

Seeing the orders for spiritual tools that kept coming to his door, Zhang He was no longer anxious about the war and simply sent another 1,000 militiamen to the front.

Using the battlefield to demonstrate the various functions of Ningjing County's spiritual tools to all the forces watching the war, the war turned into a weapons exhibition in Ningjing County.

At the same time, the industrial park vigorously expanded the production scale of spiritual tools.

From the beginning, one weapon refiner was responsible for the entire process of refining a spiritual tool, but now it has become an assembly line production, and many of the processes are handled by puppets, which improves production efficiency to the extreme.

Due to economies of scale, the cost of producing spiritual tools in Ningjing County can be reduced by at least half.

Currently, there are many forces in the entire Zhou Dynasty that can produce spiritual tools, but only Ningjing County can produce large quantities of spiritual tools quickly and on a large scale.

Many forces that were unable to obtain spiritual tools quickly came to Ningjing County to purchase them, and orders have now been scheduled for next year.

Currently, the arsenal can produce 6,000 No. 1 spiritual tools and 1,000 No. 2 spiritual tools a month.

The production cost of No. 1 spiritual tool is about 10 spiritual stones, and the external price is 60 spiritual stones, which can make a profit of 50 spiritual stones.

The production cost of the No. 2 spiritual tool is about 150 spiritual stones, and the external price is 650 spiritual stones. Each piece has a profit of 500 spiritual stones.

According to the current production capacity, the arsenal can make a profit of 800,000 spirit stones every month.

Moreover, the production capacity of the arsenal is still expanding, and the output will be larger and the cost will be lower in the future.

There will also be other competitors entering the game.

Zhang He's display of new weapons on the battlefield only lasted three months and could no longer continue.

Because many spiritual tools appeared in the Ji's coalition forces opposite, and sometimes the two sides would shoot at each other with their spiritual tools.

Judging from some of the spiritual tools seized, 70% of the spiritual tools were produced in-house.

The enemy buys his own spiritual tools and then uses them to beat himself.

For this reason, Zhang He also had to bear a lot of pressure within the Sun-Moon Alliance.

The branch leaders had some complaints behind their backs, and the three elders also put pressure on him, hoping that Ningjing County would stop selling spiritual tools to external parties.

But after Zhang He considered it comprehensively, he could not change his plan to sell the spiritual equipment. Even if the enemy would get it, he had to sell it.

He doesn't want money at the expense of his life, but wants to occupy the market.

Elder Jiang and the others have never experienced a highly developed market economy and cannot understand the logic here.

For example, the technical difficulty of Spirit Tool No. 1 and No. 2 is not particularly high, and many major powers still have technical information in this area in their libraries.

As long as you select a few weapon refiners and study for a period of time, many forces are capable of producing them.

In the future, there will definitely be competitors in the production and sales of spiritual tools, and most of them are larger forces than Ningjing County.

At that time, the market developed by oneself will be occupied by others.

What Zhang He has to do now is to occupy the market in advance before competitors appear, so that latecomers cannot get involved.

If he voluntarily gives up now, his foundation is not as strong as others, and he will never be able to get it back in the future.

Compared to mastering a market in the future, the pressure we are experiencing now is nothing to mention.

Of course, the pressure the Sun-Moon Alliance suffered on the battlefield was related to him after all, and he still had to bear some responsibility for it. He would not sit idly by.

On this day, on the battlefield to the north of Pushan County, another battle began between the two sides.

On the Sun Moon Alliance side, a group of militiamen formed a long formation, holding spiritual tools and shooting a round of colorful spells towards the opposite side.

If it were normal, the other side would have to avoid them. Now there are spiritual tools in the Ji's coalition. Although the number is not as large as here, they also use the spiritual tools to launch a defensive spell, blocking most of this round of attacks.

"Boom boom boom..."

On the other side of the battlefield, the monks from both sides also rushed together, and the battlefield was filled with blood and flesh.

At this moment, a flying battleship flew out from above the Ji's coalition forces on the opposite side, shooting countless magic brilliance towards the Sun and Moon Alliance, which was also mixed with the bombardment of some magic weapons.

"The flying battleship is out again!"

A Sun-Moon Alliance monk shouted impatiently.

It is very difficult for them to deal with the Ji's coalition forces on the ground now, and they have no more energy to deal with air strikes.

Every time, the Sun-Moon Alliance can only dispatch Nascent Soul warriors to fight against the flying battleships, but the opponent's Nascent Soul monks will often take advantage of your exhaustion to give you a heavy blow.

Every time the opponent dispatches flying battleships, the Sun-Moon Alliance will suffer some losses.

It's just that the situation seems a little different today. The Nascent Soul monk from the Sun-Moon Alliance has not yet appeared.

Just as the Sun Moon Alliance monks were anxiously anticipating, a rumbling sound came from behind their own camp.

Everyone was attracted by this strange sound, and their consciousness couldn't help but look behind them.

I saw a group of strange-looking and even various puppets appearing behind the Sun-Moon Alliance army.

This group of puppets, some of them tall, holding close combat weapons such as shields or battle axes and swords, walked in the front row.

Some petite people followed the team with crossbows in hand.

Some puppets were equipped with wings and flew over the army. Several rocket launchers were installed on their abdomens and backs.

This army is exactly the 5,000 puppets modified by Hu Ya. After being modified and equipped with weapons, it looks quite scary when put out.

The 5,000 puppets are controlled by ten Jindan monks and 100 foundation-building blackwater troops. In terms of tactical coordination, they have been rehearsed many times.

Now these 5,000 puppets are moving forward together, appearing in an orderly manner, with rules for both advance and retreat.

Seeing that an army of puppets was coming to help, the Sun Moon Alliance monks immediately made way for a passage to both sides, allowing the army of puppets to advance first.

The monks from the Ji's coalition had never seen anything like this before, and they saw the vanguard of the puppet army rushing forward.

Most of these puppets are not humanoid. Some have six legs, some have eight legs, and some have just a few wheels.

But these puppets in the front row have one thing in common, that is, they are large, one or two feet tall. Some of them rush in front of the Ji family's coalition forces, like a high wall, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

The puppet hand spits out a huge ax and chops it down, often splitting the person and the magic weapon into two sides.

Ordinary attacks will also cause damage to these big puppets, but compared to their huge size, it is not a big deal.

After all, most of these tall puppets rushing in the front row are men doing rough work in the mining fields. Their most important characteristics are their sturdiness and strength.

The smaller puppets followed closely behind the tall puppets, and the crossbows in their hands began to fire, shooting a shower of arrows towards the Ji's coalition camp in front.

Suddenly, countless people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

At the same time as the puppets on the ground moved in, more than 1,000 puppets flying in the air had already taken the initiative to find the flying battleship.

These flying puppets all carried several rocket launchers, and they surrounded the flying battleship like a swarm of hornets.

The flying puppets fired more than 1,000 rocket launchers in one round, causing the flying battleship to stagger in the air and the protective light curtain flickering on and off.

The flying battleship certainly couldn't just take a beating without fighting back, but the flying puppets were small in size and nimble in their movements, so most of them were dodged.

Only a small number of puppets were destroyed, but it had little impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the flying puppets.

Immediately afterwards, the flying puppet fired the second round, the third round of volley, and the fourth round of volley...

The flying battleship was relatively large and looked like a big target in the air. It was hit repeatedly by rocket launchers, and the protective formation was finally shattered.

The flying battleship, which had lost its protective formation, immediately turned around and was about to escape.

How could the puppet army let go of such a good opportunity? They followed closely behind the flying battleship until they blasted all the rocket launchers they carried onto the flying battleship before they reluctantly returned.

After withstanding several rounds of rocket launcher attacks, the flying warship finally lost its support and fell apart into many pieces in the air. ​16430/10022522
