Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Chapter 151 Verification

The Nine Cauldrons Sect's sub-sect was located on a semi-artificial mountain at the original suburbs of Nine Heavens City, covering an area of over thirty square kilometers, and consisting of six small hills.

However, today, this suburban area had long become a new district of Nine Heavens City due to the settlement of the Nine Cauldrons Sect's sub-sect.

Not only were the streets clean and well-landscaped, but they also attracted a large number of enterprises to set up there.

Last year, this new district, with only a tenth of Nine Heavens City's population, contributed half of the city's Gross Domestic Product.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Nine Cauldrons Sect's sub-sect, Zhao Siliang, the Sect Master, was making relevant arrangements with Zhao He, the Hall Master of the Campaign Hall, Wu Xunzhen, the Hall Master of the Logistics Hall, and Huang Wei, the Hall Master of the Mystic Formation Hall.

"This region..."

Zhao Siliang pointed to an island only three thousand miles from Sea Cabinet Island, "Within a month, set up a Fourth Level defensive formation. We need to ensure that our sect's disciples have a safe resting place to recover and be in the best condition to face all crises."

"A Fourth Level defensive formation... The terrain here is very suitable for the Xuanwu Town Sea Formation."

"Xuanwu Town Sea Formation? That's an original generation formation. It can't stop the Lifebound Flying Sword of a top Great Cultivator! At least use the Xuanwu Limitless Formation!"

"One month is too rushed."

Huang Wei shook her head directly, "The Sect Master should know that the path of formation... we have even fewer talents than Divine Cultivators... The Xuanwu Limitless Formation requires more than twice the work of the Xuanwu Town Sea Formation, we simply don't have enough time in one month..."

Zhao Siliang pondered slightly.

He understood Huang Wei's difficulties.

Like all sects were short of Divine Cultivators in their cultivation systems, the most lacking in the vocational sphere were Array Masters.

Formation cultivation was definitive; you either knew how to do it or you didn't. It was not like Artifact Refining or Alchemy where experience could be accumulated over time to improve.

"I will seek help from the Main Sect and get you three masters proficient in defensive formations and their respective teams."

"I will give it my all."

Huang Wei responded solemnly.

Zhao Siliang nodded and then turned to Wu Xunzhen, "Spirit Stone allocation must keep up; once a formation is activated, it will consume a large volume of Spirit Stones every day. We cannot allow a lack of Spirit Stones to cause the formation to stop operating."

"Understood."

Wu Xunzhen nodded slightly.

"For the Technique Cultivators and Sword Cultivators, we need to reserve more Spirit Stones. Technique Cultivators only consume Spirit Stones during actual combat, but for Sword Cultivators, they must patrol the surroundings, and daily, each person's consumption is several to tens of Spirit Stones. This aspect must not fall short,"

Zhao Siliang emphasized.

"This level of consumption... is manageable in the short term, but I'm afraid if the Great Sun Sword Sect decides to engage us in a war of attrition... Although we now have Divine Sense, the total number of employees powering the Spirit Gathering Arrays in the Energy Department has exceeded eighty million, but... our Spirit Stone production capacity is still too low..."

Wu Xunzhen said.

"We won't give the Great Sun Sword Sect the chance to drag it out. If it indeed heads in that direction, those above will make their decision," Zhao Siliang assured with a definitive response. "As for the issue of Spirit Stone production...

as we have more interactions with Subordinate Worlds, and various Stellar Sects are being reactivated, more and more Subordinate Worlds will join us; there is much potential in this area, so there's no need to worry too much."

At this time, Zhang Jianlin came in hastily, accompanied by He Renzhi, the Chief of the Nine Cauldrons Sect's Artifact Refining Division.

This Elder, unable to contain his excitement even during the meeting, exclaimed, "Sect Master, the design provided by Alkaid has been repeatedly confirmed by us and can indeed achieve the data he claimed."

Zhao Siliang was slightly taken aback, and for a moment, he hadn't recovered from the surprise.

Then he realized that this was the matter of the Purple Cloud XII improved model that Zhang Jianlin had discussed with him three days ago.

Originally, it had been decided to temporarily shelf this flying sword, along with postponing affairs related to Posuo Island. However, the flying sword data from the Purple Cloud Courtyard was so promising that, even though he knew the project had been scrapped, he still allowed Zhang Jianlin...

Or rather, Zhang Jianlin had persisted in verifying the performance of this flying sword.

Hearing what he had just said...

"Achieved it!?"

Zhao Siliang asked.

Then the data about this flying sword quickly flashed through his mind. The next second, he could no longer contain himself and stood up abruptly, repeating the question, "Achieved it!?"

"Achieved! Superior Grade Spirit Artifact! Maximum speed 4.5 times the speed of sound, damage rating 8.3, Spirit Consumption only 435!"

Zhang Jianlin said earnestly.

Zhao Siliang couldn't help but turn his gaze towards the Chief of the Artifact Refining Hall who was present.

And this Master Artifact Refiner, who was capable of overseeing the creation of Superior Grade Spirit Artifacts, nodded gravely, "The new supersedes the old indeed! I had a look at the design for 'Xianying 60,' and many of its revolutionary ideas opened my eyes.

I thought then that Alkaid had a boundless future ahead, but I didn't expect that in just half a year, he would be able to design such a stunning flying sword. This sword stands among the top even compared to the many Third Generation Superior Grade Spirit Artifact level flying swords."

"Wait a second!"

At this point, Zhao He, who was beside him, couldn't help but interject, "Alkaid has designed a new flying sword! And this flying sword... maximum speed 4.5 times that of sound!? Damage rating 8.3!?"

"Even a pure speed-focused Interior Grade Treasure Level flying sword has a damage rating just over 10, but the Spirit Consumption usually exceeds 1000. Is this Superior Grade Spirit Artifact's damage rating close to an Interior Grade Magical Treasure just focused on speed?"

Wu Xunzhen was somewhat astounded.

"That's not the key point! The key is, the cost of this flying sword is only one thousand six hundred Spirit Stones!"

Zhang Jianlin said.

At the utterance of these words, Wu Xunzhen, Zhao He, Huang Wei, Zhao Siliang, and others all changed their expressions simultaneously.

"One thousand six! A nearly Fourth Generation Superior Grade Spirit Sword for only one thousand six!?"

"A Flying Sword of this performance... Zhanlu Artifact Refining Court could produce it, but their cost price... is as high as three thousand, and the procurement price even reaches three thousand four!"

"Purple Cloud Courtyard actually possesses this technology!?"

These figures, each a top-notch powerhouse in the Nine Heavens Domain, were each deeply shocked.

Compared to the others, Zhao Siliang knew more information.

Including the message conveyed by Zhang Jianlin that Alkaid expressed confidence that in the coming years, he could further perfect the Purple Cloud Twelve Modification Flying Sword and elevate it to Treasure Level.

The performance of this Flying Sword confirmed that Alkaid indeed had the ability to refine Superior Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and highly advanced ones at that. If he could truly refine Treasure Level...

With this thought, Zhao Siliang made a decisive decision and turned to Zhao He, "Arrange a team to protect the Purple Cloud Courtyard first."

Zhao He considered for a moment and also understood his intention.

"I will have Qin Yi take charge."

A Star Master, capable of drawing upon the Stellar Power Field to fortify themselves, amounts to adding a shield to oneself, or to a certain area, and is the best candidate for guarding and occupying a territory.

"Agreed."

Zhao Siliang then shifted his gaze to Huang Wei, "Send someone over, set up a Third Level defensive formation in the Purple Cloud Courtyard to ensure its safety."

"I'll go personally. It will take at least two to three days to dispatch the materials for the Xuanwu Limitless Formation. During those days, I'll complete the preliminary design of the Purple Cloud Courtyard's defensive formation, and... "

Huang Wei smiled, "Meet this Master Artifact Refiner whose name I've heard the most in recent times."

Zhao Siliang nodded in agreement.

After briefly addressing other important matters here, he asked several people to leave and then told Zhang Jianlin and He Renzhi, "Prepare yourselves, take all the Flying Sword data, experimental data, and follow me to Red City."

"Red City!"

This was where the Nine Cauldrons Sect's gate was located.

The center of all power and strength of the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

However, Zhang Jianlin and He Renzhi understood what a "Grandmaster of Artifact Refining" meant and nodded solemnly.

They immediately gave instructions for the affairs at hand, boarded a Flying Boat, and headed straight for Red City, the home of the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Upon arriving at the Nine Cauldrons Sect, the beforehand informed Master of the Artifact Refining Hall, Xu Quexing, personally received them. In their meeting were also the Vice Hall Master in charge of the Flying Sword Division, Xiang Tianheng, and several Master Artifact Refiners led by the Grandmaster Dong Liu.

Under the leadership of Dong Liu, these Master Artifact Refiners quickly completed the second round of verification of the Flying Sword.

Once the verification was concluded, the Grandmaster gave it extremely high praise: "This Master Artifact Refiner has already forged his own path. On my way here after hearing the news, I took the time to look at the Purple Cloud Twelve Flying Sword; both types of Flying Swords are based on the same concept and possess significant potential for improvement."

"Does this mean that there is the possibility that the Flying Swords on this path could be improved to Treasure Level in the future?"

Xiang Tianheng asked immediately.

"Absolutely! They must have it!"

Dong Liu responded without hesitation: "As I've said, he has forged his own path, and this path differs from the one I understood. To some extent, it's akin to establishing a new school. Moreover, I can see its potential as clearly as if it's tangible, based on its performance reaching the Third Generation's level.

With this kind of foundation and potential, refining a Treasure Level Flying Sword in the future is not a lofty dream."

"Truly!?"

At this, the Master of the Artifact Refining Hall, Xu Quexing, also became somewhat restless.

"Absolutely true!"

Dong Liu nodded emphatically: "Look at this data on the Flying Sword... its performance in every aspect stands out among the Third Generation. He likely... doesn't know much about Formation Patterns inscription, or maybe he doesn't have any famous Array Masters under his command, at least...

not a Master skilled in inscribing Formation Patterns, otherwise, this sword could even possibly reach Fourth Generation standards."

After speaking, the Grandmaster couldn't help but say, "Is this really a Flying Sword refined by a master of our Nine Cauldrons Sect? It couldn't possibly be copied from a design scheme obtained from the Limitless Star Palace, Myriad Beasts Sect, or Immortal Alliance, right?"

"We've checked his background; it's impossible that he's an undercover agent from another sect."

Zhao Siliang stated emphatically.

"I also believe that other sects would absolutely not be willing to send such a genius as an undercover agent to our Nine Cauldrons Sect."

Zhang Jianlin immediately vouched for him.

"Then that's settled!"

Xu Quexing declared emphatically.

When a Sub-sect Sect Master and an Elder personally vouched, what was there to worry about?

Besides, as Zhang Jianlin said, who would part with such a genius to plant them as a mole in the Nine Cauldrons Sect!?

Even if that were the case, they would hope for more of such moles.

The reviving Nine Cauldrons Sect could cope.

Moreover, they had the confidence that through the good regulations of the Nine Cauldrons Sect and an open-minded attitude, they could change his belief and make him a true member of the Nine Cauldrons Sect.
