Chapter 1174 sneak attack(1/2)
This middle-aged monk was only at the peak level of Nascent Soul, and when he spoke to Zhenjun Xiaofeng, a monk in the early stages of divine transformation, he had no intention of being polite.
It seems that his status is not low either.
His words were disrespectful, but Zhenjun Xiaofeng was not angry.
"Palace Master Zhang, although the couple in charge this week are monks in your Weapon Refining Hall, as the sect leader, I can draw manpower from each hall, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
This middle-aged monk is indeed the senior brother of Liu Jingtao, the master and deputy master of the Weapon Refining Hall.
Their master is a monk in the middle stage of becoming a god, and his cultivation level is higher than that of Zhenjun Xiaofeng.
Although I have never heard that the mid-level monk surnamed Chen is serving in the sect, no one dares to underestimate him.
After all, in the world of immortality, strength is the right to speak.
Palace Master Zhang smiled and said: "If it is normal, it will not be a problem to mobilize one or two stewards.
But now is wartime, and all palaces are extremely short of manpower.
Guanshi Zhou's weapon refining methods are very clever, and he can repair magic weapons very quickly. One person can defeat three or five people.
The sect master had seen the magic weapon he repaired before, and he was definitely not dealing with it casually.
If such a talented person is allowed to refine elixirs, the losses will be huge."
True Lord Xiao Feng still did not give up: "It is true that the Weapon Refining Hall is short of manpower, but the Pill Hall also needs manpower.
Since Manager Zhou has this ability, he should naturally use it."
Palace Master Zhang responded tit-for-tat: "Sect Master should also know that in a war, the only elixirs needed are healing and restorative ones.
If there is no large-scale battle and the two sides test each other, the monk's spiritual energy consumption is very small, there are not many injuries, and the elixir consumption is likely to be zero.
But magic weapons are different. As long as there is any battle between the two sides, regardless of the scale, equipment losses are inevitable.
I am in charge of logistics supplies on Jinshi Island, and I know exactly how much elixir is left.
If the current situation continues, the stored elixirs will be enough for ten years.
Even during a decisive battle between the two sides, the consumption of elixirs would increase, and the battle at the level of a decisive battle could not be maintained for a long time.
With the capabilities of the Bone Palace, if there was a showdown, how long could they last?
It can be said that the existing elixirs can fully support the destruction of the Bone Palace.
However, magical artifacts have always been in short supply, and damaged magical artifacts have piled up in the warehouse.
If we don't seize the time to repair it, I'm afraid we won't have any magic weapon available in a short time.
I also ask the sect leader to put the overall situation of the sect first, and be cautious and wait until after the war to solve the problem."
Although he was contradicting True Lord Sao Feng, what he said was reasonable and well-founded.
The major forces attack each other, and the consumption rate of elixirs is indeed not as fast as that of magic weapons.
After saying this, Zhenjun Xiaofeng was speechless.
After being stunned for a long time, he snorted coldly and walked away.
Palace Master Zhang no longer looked as arrogant and domineering as before. Instead, he said to Wang Daoyuan very kindly: "Steward Zhou is coming with me."
Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan followed him to a cave. The cave was extremely spacious, and the entrance was a semicircle with a diameter of more than ten feet.
After entering the cave, it is more spacious inside.
Moreover, there are many forks in this cave.
Near the entrance of the cave, there are some tables and chairs.
Palace Master Zhang said with a smile: "The conditions are a bit crude, which made the two stewards laugh."
Wang Daoyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Dianzhu Zhang's body of ten thousand gold is not too humble. Our husband and wife are from loose cultivators, and there are many situations where we have no place to stay. We are very satisfied if we have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
It’s just that my subordinates find this cave a little strange, it doesn’t look like a cave, but a bit like a mine.”
Palace Master Zhang smiled and said: "Guanshi Zhou is indeed a master of weapon refining. This cave was indeed a mine before.
In fact, the entire Jinshi Island is a huge mine.
The Bihai Shenjin produced here, as well as several other refining materials, are of quite good quality and are of high value.
It turns out that Jinshi Island is the resource center of the Bone Palace.
We used some tricks before to capture this Golden Stone Island.
The Palace of Bones refused to give up and counterattacked many times.
Finally, our Zhenhaizong placed the former enemy's headquarters here, and more than 80% of its manpower was placed here.
If that side dares to attack again, it will be a decisive battle.
The White Bone Palace is far inferior to our Zhenhai Sect, so we gave up on Jinshi Island.
The rock on the island is extremely hard, making it extremely laborious to open the cave.
Therefore, these mines were used and transformed into caves and warehouses."
Wang Daoyuan reminded: “Mines that have been mined for many years usually have a lot of side roads.
If the Bone Palace hides its manpower in the mine, wouldn't it be very dangerous for our supplies to be placed in the mine?"
Palace Master Zhang waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, these mines have been searched before and there is nothing abnormal.
Moreover, there are also heavy formations set up inside.
Even if there are monks from the Bone Palace hiding inside, there is nothing they can do against the great formation."
Seeing that he was very interested in talking, Wang Daoyuan tried a few words.
"Master of the Palace, we and I are just small stewards.
Although the weapon refining method is not bad, it is not worth fighting for with you, right?
Why did the sect master ask us and my wife to join the Pill Hall in public?"
Normally, such a sensitive topic would definitely involve the secrets of the sect's top brass, but Hall Master Zhang didn't care.
"This matter is not a secret. If you two entered the sect earlier, you should also know these things.
Now the highest-ranking person in the sect is the Grand Elder, Lord Broken Star. All major decisions are made by him, but he does not live long.
When I was supporting the Blood Shark Bandits earlier, I fought with a powerful enemy and was injured.
Once a monk nearing the end of his life is injured, he will easily die prematurely.
Now we have to take down the Palace of Bones, which is likely to cause more injuries.
Therefore, he wanted to choose a successor.
Currently, the only ones who are capable of competing are Zhenjun Xiaofeng and my master.
My master has a higher level of cultivation, but Zhenjun Xiaofeng is a wind attribute monk and his strength is not inferior to that of my master.
Lord Shattered Star God may have died during this battle, or died shortly after the war.
Which faction has made greater contributions in this war, the Lord Shattered Star will favor whomever.
You and your wife are extremely skilled in refining weapons. You can repair magic weapons much faster than me. Naturally, you have made many achievements in this way.
You are a member of the Weapon Refining Hall, and you have made many meritorious deeds, which are also helpful to the Master.
If True Lord Xiao Feng drags you to the Elixir Hall, the credit of the Weapon Refining Hall will be much less, and the credit of the Elixir Hall will be much more.
Otherwise, how could Zhenjun Xiaofeng bully the younger ones and make me, a Nascent Soul cultivator, blush and blush?"
Wang Daoyuan understood that at this time, it was not how valuable he and Zhou Luan were, but just becoming weights on the scale.
The scale is originally completely balanced. Although these two weights are small, they may have a huge impact on the balance.
Even if the final outcome cannot be determined, no one wants to give their opponent an extra weight.
The Weapon Refining Hall had taken the upper hand, and Zhenjun Xiaofeng was trying to make amends. This led to the previous dispute.
From the words of Palace Master Zhang, Wang Daoyuan also gained a lot.
Especially the state of the Star-Shattering God Lord. Back then, this guy was head-to-head with the Duanhai Shenjun of the Yuheng Sword Sect, and he didn't fall behind in the slightest.
The strength he showed at that time was much stronger than the ordinary Hundred Treasure God Lord and Earth Splitting God Lord.
Now that he knew that his life was short, Wang Daoyuan felt relieved a lot.
"It would be an honor for me to help Senior Chen gain the favor of Lord Shattered Star God."
Palace Master Zhang smiled and said: "You don't have to be so humble, Master values you very much.
After this battle, he should accept you as a registered disciple.
When the time comes, we will treat each other as brothers and sisters."
Wang Daoyuan immediately began to show his loyalty and made Hall Master Zhang laugh.
After chatting for a long time, Palace Master Zhang sent someone to arrange a place for them both.
Jinshi Island produces ore, and its scale is not small. Naturally, there is also a fire chamber for smelting ore on the island.
