Chapter 216: Impact of Limits
Lu Changjing plans to take advantage of the opportunity of the monsters and demons invading Baiyujing to hone the newly established East and West factories.
Anyway, with him, a demon who can easily kill a third-level demon god, backing them up, there is basically no need to worry about Baiyujing encountering an irresistible crisis.
When it is absolutely safe, we can naturally start to improve the two factories in the east and west, which can also be regarded as preparation for subsequent expansion.
Once the core members have been honed, Lu Changjing can have the East and West factories recruit experts on a large scale to slay demons and monsters everywhere, not only in the territory of Daning, but also in the territories of surrounding countries.
To him, all monsters and demons are moving treasure houses. The higher the level of the monsters and demons, the more amazing their value.
It can be exchanged for demon-suppressing points, used as material for various elixirs, used to cure diseases and save lives, eaten after processing, etc. With the Materia Medica and Disease Tomb in his hand, Lu Changjing can make full use of the corpses of demons and monsters.
What's more, he also has knowledge from modern times, and can use some methods from his previous life to make better use of the corpses of these monsters and demons.
For Lu Changjing, if he makes good use of the corpses of monsters and demons, which are already quite valuable, his value can be increased several times, dozens of times, or even more than before.
Haven’t you seen that some things that were originally worthless in the previous life, immediately increased in value tenfold or even a hundredfold after being processed, reaching a level that makes ordinary people dumbfounded.
These are all things that Lu Changjing can learn. If he uses them well, he will not lack resources for his future practice.
Over the years, he has suffered too much from being poor. He lacks elixirs, spiritual tools and armor, magical pills and medicines, magical tools and formations... He is still lacking various magical tools. If he had not killed the Henggong Fish God and become rich overnight, he would soon be worried about the resources for cultivation again.
In order to avoid poverty in the future, Lu Changjing also needs to plan carefully.
Moreover, as the person next to you continues to improve, higher-level resources and treasures will be needed in the future, and all of these require resources.
Poor, or too poor.
Lu Changjing swallowed another dragon blood fruit with tears in his eyes. This was a rare treasure even for mid-level gods and demons. One dragon blood fruit could be exchanged for a large number of magical pills and medicines used for daily practice.
However, in order to gain sufficient strength as soon as possible, Lu Changjing decided to be a bit extravagant and first improve his body training to the intermediate level of gods and demons.
After taking a dragon blood fruit, Lu Changjing made a great leap forward on the road to becoming a third-level body-refining god and devil, but he still had a long way to go before he could reach the fourth-level body-refining god and devil.
After consolidating and adapting, one will probably need another dragon blood fruit to make a breakthrough in the body refining skills.
The further you go, the more resources and treasures you will need to improve your physical cultivation. Especially since Lu Changjing has a strong foundation in cultivation, the more resources and treasures he will need to improve.
When the characteristic of a big tree with deep roots plays a sufficient role in improving Lu Changjing's cultivation foundation, the resources and treasures required for the improvement will further soar and reach an astonishing level.
Instead of continuing to take dragon blood fruit, Lu Changjing planned to consolidate and adapt for a period of time.
The bottleneck leading to the mid-level body refining god and demon is a bit solid and not so easy to break through, so Lu Changjing also needs to be prepared.
While making preparations, Lu Changjing was also paying attention to the establishment of the East Factory and the West Factory. Thanks to the power he gave them and the fact that the two had been operating for many years, they soon recruited nearly a thousand capable people each, most of whom came from Baiyujing.
As for more manpower, they were being searched throughout Daning and then mobilized. However, with a thousand men, the East Factory and the West Factory were set up, and their internal rank division was a bit similar to that of the Imperial Guard, including small flag officers, general flag officers, hundred households, thousand households, ten thousand households, pacification envoys, factory owners... and then the emperor.
The East Factory and the West Factory are directly responsible to Lu Changjing. Their main function is to slay demons and monsters, and turn the slain demons and monsters into various resources and treasures to exchange for what Lu Changjing needs.
In addition, he would occasionally carry out some tasks assigned by Lu Changjing.
In order to run the East Factory and the West Factory well, Lu Changjing also specially exchanged a large amount of information about slaying demons and eliminating evil from the Demon Suppression Bureau, so that everyone in the East Factory and the West Factory could study it well.
While learning, you can use the monsters and demons that sneak into Baiyujing as test subjects and deal with them immediately.
Due to the current limited manpower, there are not many officials in the East Factory and the West Factory, and many structures have not yet been established, so it is a little difficult to handle this matter.
Fortunately, Lu Changjing also asked the Jinyiwei to provide temporary assistance and serve as a guide for a period of time. Once the East Factory and the West Factory developed, the Jinyiwei could concentrate on handling their own affairs.
There are not so many monsters and demons entering Baiyujing now, and the Demon Suppression Bureau is also dealing with these monsters and demons, which gives the East Factory and the West Factory the opportunity to develop.
Seeing that the East Factory and the West Factory were steadily improving, Lu Changjing felt much more relieved. He thought he had not misjudged Zhang Zhaozhong and Cai Gu. Both of them were very capable in getting things done.
But relatively speaking, Cai Gu was more experienced in doing things, while Zhang Zhaozhong was still a little immature in this regard, but he did a great job and always had some innovative aspects.
At this time, Lu Changjing's strength had been consolidated and adapted almost enough, so he could take the next dragon blood fruit.
Lu Changjing chose a night close to midnight and took the third dragon blood fruit. If nothing unexpected happened, after this dragon blood fruit was digested, his cultivation level would be able to break through to the fourth-order divine body level.
However, he also took a dragon blood fruit, and his defense increased a lot, but it still did not break through 100,000 times. He always felt that something was missing. It seemed that he still needed to step into the fourth-level divine body.
Feeling the familiar medicinal power surging, Lu Changjing no longer thought about it. He absorbed and digested it in an orderly manner, advancing step by step towards a higher level.
Unknowingly, he had approached the fourth-level divine body, but what Lu Changjing did not expect was that his defense improvement began to stagnate and there was almost no improvement.
It seems to have reached a limit. To break it, more energy or treasures are needed.
Even after the third dragon blood fruit was digested, there was still a little short of it.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Changjing gritted his teeth, swallowed the last dragon blood fruit, and continued to break through the bottleneck.
The huge medicinal power of the dragon blood fruit came in a mighty force and attacked the bottleneck dam again. The roar resounded throughout the body, making people feel as if they were on both sides of the Qiantang River.
"Click..."
Fortunately, this impact worked. Not long after, cracks appeared on the bottleneck dam in Lu Changjing's body.
