Chapter 1982 Waste Utilization
After resting for half a month, Qu Jianlei did some divination for Tianyin again and concluded that it would be a good time to start retreating now.
Considering that the demonic invasion would become more and more powerful, he took out the Black Horse Tower and allowed Tianyin, Bentley and Muyu to practice in it.
The team's several Black Horse Towers have now been destroyed by more than half. Qu Jianlei has gone into seclusion again to build new Black Horse Towers.
Half a month later, new news came that a demon appeared on the territory of the Seven Stars Sect.
This time there were two small groups of demons, both led by Jindan-level demons.
The Seven Stars Sect was quite alert, but the demon's disguise was too strong, causing considerable chaos before they could react.
The two demons were wiped out one after another, but the impact they brought was not so easy to eliminate.
The next day after the news came, Ji Xiaohua came again and asked Hongye Ling to buy "the kind of beam weapon used on warships."
Lasers are not particularly effective against demons, but the nature of wave-particle duality means that it is not a simple physical attack.
For cultivators, it is difficult to cause effective damage to the demons except for a few methods such as thunder cultivation, light and soul attacks.
The last time when exploring the void, Ji Xiaohua noticed this attack method of Hongyeling.
He knew that this was not a method driven by spiritual energy, and its attack effect could not match that of the Tree Clan, let alone compared with the Broken Sword.
But there is no doubt that it is still an effective attack method.
If used properly, it can even severely damage a Nascent Soul level demon - but if you want to destroy it, that really requires great luck.
Hongyeling had previously kept silent about this type of weapon and rejected all inquiries, so he was not in a position to mention it on his own initiative.
But this time, two groups of demons appeared in the Seven Stars Gate. The Ji family had a deep understanding of what happened before and after, and were quite frightened.
Most people are aware that the demon invasion is increasing in force, and as the head of the family, Ji Xiaohua is under tremendous pressure.
He was not sure when he would face a full-scale invasion by the demons, but he believed that he could not wait any longer.
So this time, even if it would make Hongyeling angry, he didn't care.
After hearing his request, Qu Jianlei sat there and pondered, feeling a little strange.
When he was in the empire before, it was very easy for him to obtain energy blocks, but it was a dream to trade them for spirit stones.
Almost all of the spirit stones of the team were obtained through abnormal channels.
Now, someone wants to buy energy blocks with spirit stones, and is afraid that he won’t sell them.
But...are laser weapons suitable for sale? "Friend Ji, this is a serious matter. I need to discuss it with everyone."
Ji Xiaohua nodded to show his understanding, "As I should."
However, the rest of the team said that it was up to you, the boss, to make the decision. "If you really can't make up your mind, you can ask for divination."
Qu Jianlei was not so bored as to calculate such a small matter, and he made a decision quickly.
"Don't even mention selling it. I can give you ten of them. Just don't tell anyone. Also, there are two big problems with it..."
The first problem is of course energy blocks. Not only do there are no energy blocks in this world, but it is also relatively repulsive to this kind of substance.
Just like in the Empire, not only are there no spirit stone mines, but spirit stones cannot be preserved in the ordinary way.
Qu Jianlei gave away one million energy blocks as a gift. After all, he was a true immortal who came to ask for help, and it would not look good to give too little.
While emphasizing the need for careful preservation, he also pointed out another problem with laser weapons - or even a disadvantage.
That is, anyone without any cultivation can use laser guns and laser cannons.
This is an advantage when dealing with demons, but it is a hidden danger for foundation building or golden elixir practitioners.
However, Ji Xiaohua didn't care about the hidden dangers he mentioned at all, and said that as long as it could be strictly controlled, it would be fine.
As long as we can effectively defend and attack the demons, other small problems can be put aside.
Seriously, he wanted to find out something, "How many energy blocks did you consume in the last battle with the demon?"
Qu Jianlei asked Xiao Hu, and then said that the main forces in the battle at that time were Feng Wangyi and Duan Dao, and the energy blocks consumed were not large.
Excluding the navigation cost and only counting the laser attack, it would be about five million yuan.
However, the demon they faced at that time was quite large in scale, so the energy blocks sent out this time were not few.
After Ji Xiaohua confirmed this, he asked again if the Ji family still wanted to purchase energy blocks, what would be the approximate price?
Hongyeling has already given so much, he can't be so shameless as to ask for more for free.
Qu Jianlei sighed in his heart again, it was really a matter of time, and then gave an answer, "One spirit stone buys ten."
When the team set out from the Empire, they carried more than 500 trillion energy blocks, and there are nearly 400 trillion left.
Qu Jianlei has always had a strong sense of crisis and does not think that the inventory level is that abundant.
After the team has gained a firm foothold in the future, they will return to the empire, and may face many battles in the future.
But even so, even if one tenth of the inventory is consumed, with a ten to one exchange ratio, that would still be four trillion spirit stones...
He really didn't expect that the supplies that he originally intended for his own use could actually be exchanged for spirit stones.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaohua said straightforwardly, "As for ordinary spirit stones, I brought 400,000 and exchanged them all!"
He knew that the weapons he purchased were mundane, but these things could effectively kill the demons, so he also brought middle and upper spiritual weapons.
Since he had brought it, he had to spend it. He decided on it without even testing the weapon.
After the transaction was completed, he took his entourage to Yinling to test the weapons, and on the way back he made another trip to Hongyeling.
Ji Xiaohua said that he was quite satisfied with the power of this weapon, but... could he really not tell anyone about it?
From the perspective of the clan leader, he hopes to give the clan members appropriate hints, at least to stabilize people's hearts.
From the perspective of a Dongsheng cultivator, he also doesn't want everyone else to be demonized, leaving only Hongye Ridge and the Ji family struggling.
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei sighed helplessly. He was actually quite conflicted about this issue.
The Ji family hopes that Dongsheng can have enough strength to protect itself, and so does he.
However, if too many of these things are sold, it will not only easily arouse suspicion from others, but more importantly, it may disrupt the entire social order.
After a long silence, he sighed and smiled bitterly, "When I sold the energy block to you, I thought there was no way back..."
"But this thing came from another world, and I don't have much in reserve. The key is that I don't know how many spirit stones I should sell it for."
"That's easy," Ji Xiaohua said very straightforwardly, "I'll help you set the price. They're looking for you to do the deal anyway."
He finally understood why Lord Qu Ling gave him the weapon for free.
As for items from another world, the person who has experienced them will be influenced by their subjective cognition, so it is indeed difficult to price them.
But for Ji Xiaohua, there is no obstacle to pricing, just set it according to your own feelings.
Anyway, the purchaser will purchase directly from Hongyeling, so I am just helping out subjectively.
Ji Xiaohua also said that he would not deliberately publicize it, and other forces must fully and actively inquire about it before he would tell them the details.
However, the head of the Ji family still underestimated the cultivators' attention to Red Leaf Ridge.
After Ji Xiaohua returned, he announced to his clansmen that he had obtained a special magic weapon to deal with the demon. The next day, He Jiuling came to visit.
This is not because there is a traitor in the Ji family, but because the Immortal Jiuling wants to find out something.
"Fellow Daoist Xiaohua, you came out of Hongye Ridge and went to Yin Ridge. I wonder why?"
The two of them were once in the same void exploration team, so it was no big deal to inquire about this matter.
The ten weapons that Ji Xiaohua obtained were five laser guns, two long and three short, two laser sniper rifles and two laser cannons.
In addition, there is a ship-borne laser cannon, one shot of which can at least severely damage the Jindan Heavenly Demon - provided that it can be aimed.
Two days later, He Jiuling came to visit Hongyeling and said, "Fellow Daoist Qu, you can't be partial to one and treat the other the same."
He spent over ten thousand medium spirit stones and five hundred thousand ordinary spirit stones, and took away a weapon with the same configuration as Ji Xiaohua.
A few days later, Li Yuren from Cuiping Mountain also came over and spent a total of more than 20,000 medium-level spirit stones and one million ordinary spirit stones.
After all, we are in the twelfth National Congress, so the confidence is different.
Qu Jianlei was also a little speechless, because the weapons he sold were all his own junk.
There is no need to talk about those individual weapons. Even the ship-borne laser cannon was dismantled from the wrecked warships.
From the Empire to the Federation to the Alliance and then to the Cangwu Realm, how many warships did the team destroy?
It's really a waste utilization, but it's enough for them to buy another piece of land in Liuguang City - definitely larger than one square kilometer.
It is said that the arms business is the one with huge profits.
But Li Yuren didn't feel cheated at all. After completing the purchase, he even asked about the magic weapon to detect the devil.
He knew that Hongyeling had the means to identify the demons, but he also knew that he couldn't ask about the details, otherwise it would be an offense.
However, he strongly requested that Hongyeling develop a magic weapon as soon as possible - an ordinary one would be fine, as long as it could assist in detecting the demonic energy.
Just like the ordinary weapons they purchased, they didn't expect them to be foolproof, as long as they could be of some help.
Qu Jianlei frowned and replied, "The team is currently developing similar products, but... there is a lack of comparison objects."
He is indeed considering this issue and has come up with a corresponding plan.
The solution is somewhat similar to the identification card he had made before, but it also absorbs the principle of the detector and is an active detection type.
There are two problems now. One is that active exploration requires power, but the existing power system consumes energy blocks.
Changing the power system to spirit stone will take some time, but it is not very difficult. Just test it a few more times.
In other words, it might not be that difficult for him to replace the power of the laser weapon with spirit stones.
He is currently working on solving this problem, but he has not yet decided what type of power will be suitable for the future.
Qu Jianlei's preference is to walk on two legs, to develop something first and then make a choice, or simply to do both.
But the biggest problem in detecting the demonic energy is... we need some samples for reference, right?
