The Meizhou branch belongs to the Royal Academy, and its required resources are provided by the Donghao royal family. And the resources are not only spirit stones, but also array flags, rune paper, magic weapons, and even disciple clothes.

Taking the array flag as an example, if you want to cast a formation flag, you need the caster to mix and cast the corresponding materials. As for the time of casting, it varies according to the skill of the caster. But one thing is certain, and that is that the higher the quality of the Array Banner, the longer it will take to forge it.

Originally, in the early days of the academy, the number of disciples or elders was not large. As a result, demand and capacity are broadly on par. But as time went by, the number of disciples and elders continued to increase, and the production capacity could not keep up. In order to solve this problem, the royal family had to buy it out.

Later, external acquisitions could not solve the problem. As a result, the royal family began to recruit casters to increase production capacity. At first, the royal family was pretty good at recruiting casters, but things changed as demand increased further. The recruited casters were reduced to tools. What's more, some states and counties have secretly arrested casters.

Of course, compared to what will be said next, what happened to the caster is not bad. At the very least, they're still alive.

Most of the materials used for the forges come from the mountains where the demon king is entrenched, and if you want to get them, you must venture to them. Originally, these things belonged to the responsibility of the state guard, but as the demand increased, the state guard had to break into the demon king's territory more frequently and more deeply. As a result, the death rate of state health has risen sharply.

To address this issue, states and counties have issued acquisition orders in exchange for other resources. As a result, in order to improve their cultivation, those wild cultivators and scattered cultivators poured into the territory of the demon king and seized the materials.

However, even the state guards with extraordinary combat power couldn't withstand it, let alone wild cultivation and scattered cultivation. Finally, under the lesson of blood, those wild cultivators and casual cultivators also sobered up a lot. But in this case, the materials are not enough.

Later, there was a proposal to increase the intensity of acquisitions and let some evil cultivators who had committed capital crimes obtain materials as a way of forgiving their sins. At first, it worked out well, and the required materials were ready. But over time, the demand has increased again. So, the states and counties forced those evil cultivators to go a little deeper. But in this way, the evil cultivators will easily die.

Alas! Later, a dirty scene appeared. In order to obtain materials, the states and counties began to fish for law enforcement, snare crimes, and do everything they can. What's more, for the sake of profit, some forces actually betrayed their clan and cooperated with the demon king. This is also the most intolerable place for Dongfang Qingtang.

After hearing this story, Jin Sanpang's heart was touched, but his reaction was not very intense. Because, before he entered the Meizhou Branch, he was falsely imprisoned. At that time, he was only a true human realm cultivator. Fortunately, after entering the Meishan Mountain Range, he lifted the spirit talisman on his body and fled.

As for Lin Man'er, the reaction was great. After all, when he was in the Meishan Mountain Range, he almost snatched food from the demon king's mouth. As a result, he was deeply disgusted by the royal family's persecution.

However, Elder Zhou was not done yet. I saw him trembling and take out a formation flag and hand it to Jin Sanfatg. Jin Sanpang caught it with both hands, and after watching it carefully, he was shocked: "This formation flag is much stronger than mine, and it is estimated that it can carry a formation above level seven." After a pause, he looked at Elder Zhou and asked, "Is it your old refining?" ”

As soon as Zhou Min heard this, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Lin Man'er was quick and hurriedly supported him. Zhou Min waved his hand, pointed to the array flag in Jin Sanfat's hand, and said with difficulty: "This is not a formation flag, this is retribution!" ”

When Jin Sanpang heard this, combined with what Zhou Min said and did, he seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, Zhou Min took the array flag, held it in his arms, and said sadly: "My son! If I had known that you were in this situation, I should have killed that madman sooner. ”

Jin Sanpang's heart twitched, and after leaving the three-pole array flag and the other two magic weapons, he dragged Lin Man'er away.

——————————

On the way down the mountain, Lin Man'er asked Jin Sanfat why Elder Zhou was holding the flag and crying.

Jin Sanpang rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "If I guessed correctly, that array flag was made of his son. ”

"Huh? Do you use the human body to refine the formation flag? Lin Man'er said a little creepy.

"To be precise, it's not a human body, it should be a primordial spirit."

"Can the primordial god be refined into a formation flag?"

"Theoretically, yes, but with the help of other materials." Jin Sanpang explained.

Lin Man'er looked puzzled and said, "Since you need to use materials, why do you need to use Yuanshen?" ”

"How can I explain it to you, it's ...... The higher the Array Banner, the more advanced the refining materials it requires, and the higher the materials, the more difficult it is to obtain. ”

"What does that have to do with the original gods?"

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. In a sense, the human spirit is similar to a space magic weapon. If when refining the array flag, and then refining the human primordial spirit, then the quality can be improved. Moreover, the degree of ascension is related to the strength of the original spirit. ”

"Oh, I see." After a pause, he asked, "No, according to what you say, that Elder Zhou has refined his own son?" Lin Man'er said that he felt a chill in his back.

Jin Sanpang shook his head and retorted, "I don't think it's possible. Have you ever noticed that Elder Zhou mentioned a madman while he was crying? Perhaps, it was the madman who refined his son. In this way, it can also explain why he has put all his efforts into researching how to minimize the cost of materials while ensuring the quality of the formation flag. ”

"You mean, he wants to avoid a recurrence of his son's tragedy?"

"Maybe!" Jin Sanpang nodded slightly.

"That's not right! If that's the case, I'll also study the fart flag! Isn't it okay to directly prohibit the use of Yuan Shen refining? ”

"Let me tell you! Suppose that to obtain a material that can refine the seventh-level array flag, it will require the loss of ten Immortal Monarchs. And to obtain a material that can refine the sixth-level array flag, it is necessary to lose three Immortal Monarchs. However, if one more Immortal Monarch is sacrificed on the materials of the sixth-level array banner, the seventh-level array banner can be refined. In this way, it is equivalent to losing four Immortal Monarchs to refine a seventh-level array flag. If you are in power, how do you choose? ”

Lin Man'er scratched the back of her head very irritably. Jin Sanpang patted him lightly on the shoulder and comforted: "Although it is difficult to accept, the truth is so cruel. ”

"Then if Elder Zhou can study it, will things change?"

"It's not that I don't believe in Elder Zhou, it's that this thing is impossible."

"Why is it impossible?"

"For example, if you want a cow to produce more milk, but you don't give it forage, do you think it's possible?"

"What does this have to do with cow milk production?"

"Uh... It's a bad analogy, but that's basically what it means. ”

"If that's the case, isn't Elder Zhou's efforts in vain?"

"It can't be said that it was in vain, if Elder Zhou can really study the array flag I gave him thoroughly, maybe he can improve the quality of refining. After all, the refining level of the Donghao royal family is really not good. ”

"Why?"

"Do you need to ask? The Donghao royal family respects the green dragon and majors in the law system. ”

"And what about the royal family of Ciro?" Lin Man'er looked at Jin Sanpang and asked.

"The royal family of Xiluo respects the white tiger, and the white tiger represents killing, so it is naturally a war repair. Therefore, the overall casting level of the Xiluo royal family is far higher than that of the Donghao royal family. ”

Lin Man'er nodded, suddenly grabbed Jin Sanfat's wrist, and asked, "Can you tell me, why do you have so many treasures in your pocket?" And, why didn't you use it before? ”

"First, I don't have any treasure in my pocket, you see, it's cleaner than my face. Second, the few treasures I have have were not usable before. ”

"Why can't it work?"

"Because treasures also have conditions for use. It's like your mourning sword, can I use it if I give it to me? After a pause, he stared at Lin Man'er and asked, "Hey... Speaking of the mourning sword, it's really a bit of a problem. Tell me honestly, why can you summon the Mourning Sword in the Divine Array? ”

"Uh... It's a long question. Lin Man'er sent his hand and said hesitantly.

Jin Sanpang grabbed Lin Man'er's wrist in turn and asked with a smile: "It's okay, Lao Tzu has time today." If you start from your mother's womb, I can listen to it. ”

Lin Man'er thought about it and felt that it would not hurt to tell Jin Sanfat. Anyway, everyone has problems, and they are not afraid of who betrays whom.

After Jin Sanpang listened, his mouth was open, and his harath was dripping on his clothes. Lin Man'er pushed him away with a look of disgust, for fear that it would flow into his hands.

Jin Sanpang reacted, immediately hugged Lin Man'er, and said with a wicked smile: "Brother Man'er, are we good buddies?" ”

"It's not!" Lin Man'er replied very simply.

"Uh... It doesn't matter if it's not. Actually... I still have a lot of treasures on me, including magic weapons, horcruxes, and battle armor. You see, we have known each other for many years, and I cannot treat you badly. In this way, I will exchange three treasures for your mourning sword, what do you think? ”

"Yes!" Lin Man'er replied very simply.

Jin San was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Lin Man'er to be so happy. However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Man'er proposed three replacement treasures. Namely, the Meteor Butterfly Sword, the Level 7 Floating Tower, and a Warframe.

After hearing this, Jin Sanpang suddenly felt a little tasteless, although he didn't eat anything. Or rather, he's more disgusting than eating a piece of.

Lin Man'er looked at him and asked, "Just these three, I don't want much." Of course, you have to give more, and I can't help but appreciate it. ”

"Uh... Actually! This is a man, you still have to have a face, otherwise what's the difference with a beast? Jin San Fat has a big belly and a superior posture.

Lin Man'er pushed him away and asked, "Do you still know how to have a face?" The mourning sword is my natal divine weapon, do you know what it is? Still exchange with me, change your life? ”

Jin Sanpang coughed and said with a wicked smile: "Oh, just kidding!" Don't take it seriously. ”

"If I were serious, I would have thrown you to Ermao as a ration."

"Okay, okay, I won't mention this later. Let's go to the Luomei Hall first and return the Golden-winged Tiger. ”

"It's obviously stolen, and it's a fart."

"That's a mistake! If you don't pay it back, it's called stealing, and if you pay it back, it's called borrowing. ”

"Don't talk about those useless things, you promised me that you would give me the Golden-winged Tiger after the deed was completed."

"Did I say that? Are you mistaken? ”

"If you dare to cheat, I will dare to throw you down from here."

Jin Sanpang rolled his eyes, took the initiative to walk to the edge of the cliff, and looked down in a similar manner. Then, he turned to Lin Man'er, opened his arms, smiled slightly, and jumped back.

Seeing this, Lin Man'er scolded the dead fat man, and jumped down. However, as soon as he jumped down, he saw a spirit rune floating up. Lin Man'er yelled badly, urging the Thousand Miles Wind Chasing Technique to avoid. It's a pity that the power of the four-rank lightning talisman is really not small! If it weren't for Lin Man'er's timely dodge, coupled with the foundation of physical cultivation, I'm afraid I would have to find Bai Zhi to treat his injuries again.

——————————

In the Luomei Palace, Wen Yuan was dealing with some daily affairs. Suddenly, a disciple rushed in with a panicked expression. His name is Wu Yong, and he is one of the guards in charge of guarding the Demon Beasts in Luomei Palace.

Wen Yuan glanced at him, and while writing, he asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

"Division... Senior brother, out... Something big is wrong. ”

"What could be a big deal here? Could it be that the demon king ran away? Wen Yuan recorded unhurriedly.

Wu Yong patted his thigh and said anxiously: "Yes... yes, Golden-winged Tiger, it ran away. ”

The pen in Wen Yuan's hand suddenly fell, looked up at Wu Yong, and said solemnly: "You say it again." ”

"The Golden-winged Tiger has run away."

"How is this possible? Without tokens, how did the Purple Gold Cage open? After a pause, he seemed to remember something, waved his hand and said, "I already know about this, you go down!" ”

"Senior brother, the Golden-winged Two-Winged Tiger is an ancient spirit-level fierce beast, do you want to report this matter to the dean?"

Wen Yuan slapped the table and scolded: "Stupid, do you want to enter the Law Enforcement Palace?" ”

"Senior brother, I ......"

"Okay, the Golden-winged Two-winged Tiger must have been brought out by Shizun, and it will naturally be brought back in two days. Don't make a noise about it, and treat it as if nothing happened. ”

Wu Yong's heart was very confused, and he shook his head and sighed and left the hall. However, when he returned, he found that the Golden-winged Tiger had returned. At that moment, his hanging heart finally fell. After all, if an ancient spirit-level fierce beast escapes, the least thing it will do is to abolish cultivation.
