Chapter 204: The Secret of Spiritual Arts
"Those powerful intermediate spells require cultivators like me a long time to prepare, but they can release them very quickly."

Sun Zecheng still remembers the words of his master Li Huayuan.

At first, Sun Zecheng thought it was the same as the "instant" magical power of his own Jade Ding Divine Art, an instant burst of magic power.

When activating the talisman, others do need a long time to prepare, but Sun Zecheng only needs a very short time.

However, after fighting with Nangong Wan, Sun Zecheng quickly realized that this was not the case!

For mages above the intermediate level, there are very long-winded and complicated formulas and spells, and it is impossible to speed up the process by going through them.

Now by torturing this Mulan slave,

Sun Zecheng finally figured out the secret of spiritual arts.

It turns out that the Mulan people, through iterative training since childhood, have transformed several commonly used complex spells into simple commands.

It’s a bit like the shortcut keys that Sun Zecheng created for playing games before he traveled through time.

Press 1 for advanced fireball.

Press 2 for advanced earth dungeon.
……

And so on.

The secret of the mage's spiritual arts is that simple!
Simple and practical!

After figuring out the truth, Sun Zecheng was in a good mood.
After trapping the Mulan slaves in the quiet room, Sun Zecheng happily got up and walked around.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the teleportation array that Nie Ying, Xuan'er, and Xin Ruyin were setting up.

"What made my husband angry?" Nie Ying asked.

"I'm not angry. When?" Sun Zecheng was in a good mood.

"Just now, I heard my husband punishing someone."

"Oh, that's a Mulan slave, and I'm interrogating him about the secrets of spiritual arts."

"Look at how happy my husband is, he must have asked it."

"That's right. I'm telling you, the spiritual arts of Mulanfa can release very complicated and complex spells in a very short time..."

When Sun Zecheng reached this point, he suddenly stopped talking and stared at the teleportation array.

Isn't the teleportation array also a very complicated and cumbersome thing?

This iterative shortcut method works just as well!
Break it into pieces, solidify it and put it together!
Or it can be called modular assembly!
In short, it is similar to the Mulan spiritual technique, solidifying the complex things in advance and turning them into simple shortcuts!

Sun Zecheng slapped his thigh and told his idea to the three women.

From now on, the teleportation array will be divided into seven major parts. Except for the central positioning component, all other tasks can be assigned to the disciples of Huangfeng Valley!
The center positioning component is also solidified into a disc, so anyone can disassemble it without worrying about making mistakes when disassembling and reinstalling!

Then, from now on, there will be no need to spend a month to set up a teleportation array. All the modules will be prepared in advance and can be assembled right away!

Everyone was very excited when they heard it.

Sun Zecheng decided to issue the task as soon as he returned.

……

Continue to stay in Tiantian City, because setting up the teleportation array is not that fast.

A few days later, another customer sent Mulan prisoners of war.

But this one is much more stubborn, with a strong body, a broad square face, and a look of defiance and a fearless attitude.

"Pa" Sun Zecheng whipped him on the head.

"Are you satisfied?"

"Pooh!"

Sun Zecheng named this Mulan prisoner of war Mulan Slave No. 2 according to the order in which he was purchased. His eyes were full of anger and disdain.

Haha, this is what they call deserve a beating.

Sun Zecheng hit him on the head and face dozens of times, leaving him covered with bruises.

But even so, he couldn't bow his head.

Sun Zecheng spent a lot of money to buy it back.
Of course we can't simply kill them for doing such a losing business.

Sun Zecheng used the green leather bag magic weapon he got from the Yuling Sect's golden elixir.
With the injection of magic power, a ray of light gushed out from the leather bag, sweeping the No. 2 Mulanu into it. Then it was pulled back as fast as lightning, easily shrinking the No. 2 Mulanu from a big size and putting it into the bag!

Sure enough!

Be it a monster or a human, it's all the same!

This green-skinned bag for catching monsters can even tame monsters that are unable to communicate with language and lack intelligence. I don’t believe that it can’t tame a Mulan slave!

Inject the magic power and let the green bag slowly torture the No. 2 Mulannu.

I guess there are definitely more than one person who is dissatisfied.
Sun Zecheng simply went to the largest equipment shop in Tiantian City and ordered ten identical bags.

In order to prevent incidents like the one where Lu Tianmeng's Sun and Moon Bag was blown apart by the Blood Jade Spider in Lingshou Mountain, Sun Zecheng generously strengthened them all to the level of magic weapons!
Each demon-catching bag costs ten thousand!
A total of one hundred thousand yuan.

After thinking for a while, he bought ten extra-large spirit beast bags, each costing one thousand yuan, a total of ten thousand yuan.

After staying there for a month, the teleportation array was finally completed.

Give ten teleportation talismans to Elder Lei,
Let Elder Lei use it alone and try to keep it confidential.

Elder Lei has a different opinion. He believes that this teleportation array is of extraordinary significance and should not be used normally!
It is only used in special circumstances and for particularly important materials, and the original round trip will be maintained under normal circumstances.

"That's fine!" Sun Zecheng agreed after a little thought.

During this period, twelve Mulan prisoners of war were acquired.

After the news spread, the Jindan elders in the Ten-Nation Alliance who were confident in their own fighting capabilities took the initiative to go to the front line to take turns, hoping to capture prisoners and sell them to Maple Forest Pavilion.

Maple Forest Pavilion's purchase of prisoners of war as slaves was a disguised form of subsidy and reward for heroic fighting on the front line.

Received praise and encouragement from the Ten-Nation Alliance headquarters.

"I hope that Fenglin Pavilion can purchase prisoners of war on a long-term basis. This is also a way to support the front line." Madam Qi, who is in the Nascent Soul stage and the head of the Nine-Nation Alliance, came to tell Elder Lei in person.

"Maple Forest Pavilion will try to acquire as much as possible. Of course, Maple Forest Pavilion alone cannot take over so much. We all need to work together."

Following Sun Zecheng's instructions, Elder Lei answered vaguely.

"What are Fenglin Pavilion going to do with these prisoners of war?"

"The master's plan is to use it for mining, construction and other coolies."

"For mining?" Madam Qi thought to herself, that poor mine in your Beiliang Kingdom, she didn't know if it would be worthwhile to use foundation-building slaves to mine it!
However, Madam Qi also knew that Fenglin Pavilion's demon pill business was very good, so they should not be short of money: "Only you, Huangfeng Valley, can afford it."

"The leader wants to try a method similar to taming beasts to control the mind and recognize the master. If it works, it can also be used in combat." Elder Lei continued to answer according to Sun Zecheng's instructions.

"This is very suitable for you. Anyway, you have spirit stones. Spend them and try to reduce casualties among your own people." Madam Qi smiled.

Of course, Madam Qi, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, did not take these foundation-building forces seriously. She chatted for a while and said goodbye.

……

When Sun Zecheng returned to Yuanjialing, he called Elder Huang and Elder Li.
"Mulan warriors?" Li Huayuan asked as soon as he saw the dozen or so Mulan prisoners of war.

"Yes, I just bought it at a high price, seven thousand each."

"Seven thousand each is so expensive? Why buy them?" Li Huayuan was puzzled. "They are very useful. If nothing else, at least I know the secret of the Mulan magic that I asked Master for before."

"That's not a secret." Li Huayuan said.

"Not a secret?"

"Yes,"

Li Huayuan explained that he followed Sun Zecheng's instructions and took the five golden elixir ears to apply for exemption from the war. After chatting with the people of the Ten-Nation Alliance, he found out that the headquarters of the Ten-Nation Alliance knew all the secrets of spiritual arts.

"How could it be kept secret after thousands of years of fighting and undercover infiltration?" Li Huayuan said.

"Spiritual arts are simple and practical, so why doesn't the Ten-Nation Alliance learn spiritual arts?" Sun Zecheng was a little surprised that this was such a useful thing.

"It's the same thing. The Yan people use magic weapons to release spells. It's the same."

"If the master bought so many Mulan prisoners of war for this secret, it would be a bit uneconomical." Master Li Huayuan said.

You know a hammer!
"This secret is just a side job. The main purpose is to buy them back to work as slaves, open mines or something like that."

"There's no need. There are plenty of disciples in Huangfeng Valley, and they have to have tasks to do anyway. I don't know if it's profitable to use foundation-building slaves to mine this poor mine in Beiliang Country." Li Huayuan thought that Master Sun was buying on impulse.

You know a hammer!
I am prepared to dig up high-grade spirit stone mines!
Of course, there are still three years before the Star Picking Conference. During this time, these Mulan slaves will also be sent to the poor mines in Beiliang Country to get familiar with mining!
"Let's not discuss this. I called the two elders here to build a formation for controlling the gods and recognizing their master. It can accommodate one hundred people at a time. Five thousand spirit stones will be spent at Fenglin Pavilion as the cost."

"A formation to control the spirits and make them recognize their master? To control the spirits of these prisoners of war like spirit beasts and make them recognize their master?"

"That's right! Bipeds are also animals." Sun Zecheng said lightly.

"This is a good idea! My master's silver-armored horned python died in the battle. Can the master send two prisoners of war to my master?" Li Huayuan's eyes lit up.

"One! One for you and Elder Huang! No more, and only the second batch can give them to the two elders."

Master Li Huayuan's characteristic is that he would shamelessly ask for benefits when he sees them, so his disciples had to give him some face.

"Thank you, Master!" A man fished out a foundation-building slave. Li Huayuan and Elder Huang thanked him in unison and went out to do their work.

……

Bringing Nie Ying and the other two to the Yuanjialing branch of Fenglin Pavilion again,

"Elder Hongfu, should the clothes be ready?"

"It's done. Where's the seventh-level demon pill?"

This is what I wanted.

"Don't worry, I keep my word." Sun Zecheng casually took out a seventh-level demon pill and presented it with both hands.

"It's really a seventh-level demon pill." Hong Fu was obviously a little excited when she received the seventh-level demon pill, and her hands were shaking.

Elder Hongfu is not a greedy person, so why does he care so much about a level seven demon pill?
"Is the seventh-level demon pill very important to Elder Hongfu?" Sun Zecheng asked.

"Master Sun, don't you know? For a late Jindan who is trying to break through to Yuanying, the seventh-level demon pill is one of the few effective things!"

"A seventh-level demon pill has this function? This master really didn't know!"

"Seventh-level demon pills are effective against spiritual medicines that are more than three thousand years old. Both are rare treasures!" Elder Hongfu continued to explain.

Spiritual medicines that are more than three thousand years old are indeed rare, but seventh-level demon pills are too easy to come by!
Master Li Huayuan used the fifth-level demon pill to feed the silver-armored horned python, and a golden pill came out of it.
So, I, Sun Zecheng, can use the seventh-level demon pill to feed a Nascent Soul!
"Don't worry, Elder Hongfu. If the seventh-level demon pill is effective, this sect leader will continue to find it for you."

"Are you serious?" Hongfu was overjoyed.

"Of course I take it seriously." Sun Zecheng pulled Xuan'er over and said with a hint of meaning, "Elder Hongfu treats Xuan'er like a mother and daughter. It's not too much for Xuan'er to call you mom and for me to call you mother-in-law. The mere seventh-level demon pill is a filial tribute from Xuan'er and me."

Hong Fu's expression was not very natural for a moment. She looked at Sun Zecheng deeply, then smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Dong Xuan'er, Nie Ying, Xin Ruyin and others just thought that Elder Hongfu said it was a level 7 demon pill.
But Sun Zecheng knew that what Elder Hongfu said was right, that it would be better to accept him as a son-in-law.

Everyone began to try on magic-level clothes and magical tools.

Sun Zecheng was still worried about whether it would fit well, but he found that the size and shape of the immortal magic weapons could be adjusted at will, so this problem did not exist at all.

"When this magic clothing weapon is stored inside the body to be nurtured, doesn't it mean that we don't need to wear clothes?" Xuan'er asked with a smile.

"Yeah," Nie Ying also smiled.

"Well, this piece of clothing is not used as a life-long magic weapon, or you can use it as a magic weapon of magic weapon-level strength. It is to be worn all the time, similar to armor to protect yourself."

"Then what magic weapon should we use?" Xuan'er asked.
Nie Ying and Xuan'er did not refine their own magic weapons after they formed their elixirs, and they thought that this customized clothing was the prototype of the magic weapon that Sun Zecheng specially customized for them.

"I haven't decided yet. Let's go back and choose a ready-made one to refine and use."

"In fact, this vestment itself is very powerful."

"The clothes are inlaid with five elements materials, which can generate intermediate five elements shields: diamond shield, ice shield, rock shield, blazing fire shield, and ten thousand wood shield."

"Invulnerable to swords and guns, impervious to water and fire, and immune to all kinds of poisons."

"The clothes themselves can produce white clouds, similar to the white clouds on the Baiyun Flying Car"

"Can we fly?" Xuan'er asked.

"There is no flight function, but we have a flying car, which is mainly used for protection when not driving, similar to when entering and leaving the teleportation array or the store."

Nie Ying and the others understood that this clothing was designed to prevent surprise attacks from enemies like Nangong Wan.

"It can be invisible, can block divine sense detection, can resist divine sense attacks, can be camouflaged, and can change color."

"The beads on the clothes are like crystal balls. They can glow and have the ability to detect and break invisibility."

"The function of the waist belt is almost the same as Elder Hongfu's Immortal Binding Silk. It can automatically defend and can bind the enemy's magic weapons or the enemy itself."

"It's great to have so many functions!" Xuan'er said happily.

"More functions require more mana, and I'm afraid your mana can't support it." Elder Hongfu interrupted.

"Hehe, there's no need to worry about Elder Hongfu." Sun Zecheng said with a smile.

After returning, Sun Zecheng will have to process it further, and ultimately it must be driven by spirit stones!
Xuan'er, Nie Ying, and Xin Ruyin all laughed. They all understood that spirit stones must be used as energy, and there was no such thing as insufficient magic power.

"Also, it's weird to add these bags on the clothes. It doesn't look good. There are storage bags and spirit beast bags. What do you need this bag for?"

“Hey, of course it is useful.” This bag is used to store driving components, how can it be missing?

But I don’t want to tell Hongfu this for the time being.

"This time, I also want to solidify the teleportation array to make it easier to disassemble and assemble."

As Sun Zecheng spoke, he solidified and modularized the positioning part of the teleportation array, and finally turned it into a disc.

Allow Elder Hongfu to disassemble and assemble it at will.

I took three teleportation talismans and gave them to Elder Hongfu, and told her what Elder Lei meant.
Normally, this teleportation array is not equipped with positioning components.

Then issue a task to split the teleportation array into seven parts.

Except for the central positioning component, the other six parts became six modules, and the Fenglin Pavilion issued the task to the disciples of Huangfeng Valley to complete!
First send out the tasks at sixty dollars for ten sets of teleportation arrays!

From now on, wherever you go, the teleportation array will be set up there!
Return at any time!
As for the most critical center positioning part,
After these Mulan slaves recognize their master, let Xin Ruyin command them to do the work!

Foreign prisoners of war,
Bought slaves,
You have to work day and night!
I bought it for seven thousand yuan each, and it will take me more than ten years to get my money back!

If confidentiality wasn't a consideration, it wouldn't be a good deal.
