Chapter 287 Planning and Taking Office

"It's polite to be honest, this is what I should do."

"Deploy this fourth-level spirit gathering array. Currently, it has three functions."

Deacon Luo took out the formation disk and said aloud.

Then he started to demonstrate for Zhou Ling.

After a burst of light flashed on the array disk, wisps of mist condensed on the lake.

At this moment, Zhou Ling could clearly feel that the water aura on the lake was obviously richer.

"As the name of the Spirit Gathering Array implies, its primary function is naturally to gather spiritual energy."

"Once the great formation is activated, it can condense the spiritual energy that wanders between heaven and earth, and can also absorb the spiritual energy contained in the underground spiritual veins."

As he spoke, Deacon Luo's spiritual energy was injected into the formation disk, and faint ripples surged on the lake.

Through [Intermediate Observation], Zhou Ling could clearly see the three formations in the lake.

The spiritual pressure of the water spirit beads placed at the formation's eye surged, and the spiritual energy on the lake became denser at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems more and more pure.

"The effect of this water spirit bead is really good!"

Zhou Ling took a deep breath, feeling the pure water aura, and said with a smile.

"Yes, there are three water spirit beads as the formation eyes, and the water spirit energy condensed is also the purest!"

"If enough water-attribute spiritual stones are invested, water spiritual veins will be condensed in the lake in less than a year!"

Deacon Luo said with a smile.

Now that he is a guest of the Zhou family, the higher the level of the Zhou family's spiritual veins, the better it will be for him.

After the words fell, he made the magic formula with his hands, controlled the formation disk, and continued to demonstrate, "This second function is to gather the five elements of essence."

"There is an earth vein magic array in the fourth-level spirit gathering array, which can connect to the underground earth energy and essence veins. It can not only increase the five elements of essence, but also condense the five elements of essence into five elements of spiritual energy."

"The fourth level spirit gathering array can gather hundreds of five elements essences in one day!"

I saw five vortexes flashing on the water, the original fog dissipated, and there seemed to be something swimming in the calm underground, with strands of five-color light condensing out of the vortex.

Waves of water vapor spread, filling the lake and mountains with a faint five-color light.

"Ten strands of Five Elements essence can be condensed into one strand of spiritual energy. Therefore, with this spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy within the Zhou family's array will increase every day."

"This will be of great benefit to condensing spiritual veins!"

"And there is inexhaustible underground energy underground in Qingyun Immortal City, which is also a great benefit!"

"It takes a while for the effects to be felt."

"This kind of demonstration cannot achieve concrete results!"

Deacon Luo held the array plate in hand and continued to introduce it to Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling nodded. Through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he could clearly feel the changes in the underground veins.

This spirit gathering array can also connect to the earth veins and condense the five elements of essence contained in the earth veins.

Then with the help of the spirit gathering array, the five elements of essence can be transformed into spiritual energy.

This is also a key element in the formation and cohesion of many spiritual veins.

Most spiritual veins can be formed by condensing the essence of underground earth veins or the evil energy of earth veins.

When the Dao League chose to build Qingyun Immortal City here, it was natural that it would not be without purpose.

It must be done to explore the spiritual veins and earth veins of this place.

"The third function is the spatial attribute. With this spatial spirit gathering array, in the future, the foundation of the spirit gathering array can be directly integrated into the collected spiritual veins."

"Let the spiritual veins become real veins."

"And it can not only fuse one spiritual vein, but also fuse spiritual veins of different attributes."

"After fusion, the spiritual vein level is enough to reach the fourth level."

“There is still room for improvement in the future!”

Deacon Luo continued.

As he spoke, he condensed the effect of the space magic circle.

In an instant, Zhou Ling felt the energy around him change, as if he was suddenly in an underground void.

There is a sense of vast emptiness.

"Okay, Deacon Luo is really a master of craftsmanship!"

Feeling the void around him, Zhou Ling showed satisfaction.

Whether it is collecting spiritual veins or implanting spiritual veins, it is an extremely huge project.

If there is no such space array, spiritual veins must be implanted.

Then there will be a lot of trouble.

Moreover, this space array can condense fourth-level spiritual veins, and it will be improved in the future.

This was already somewhat beyond his expectation.

After all, the fourth-level spiritual veins are enough to support the cultivation of Yuanying monks.

And there is still an extremely long distance before he can reach Nascent Soul.

"Zhizheng, these are the three main functions of the Spirit Gathering Array at present!"

Deacon Luo handed the array plate to Wang Xin and said.

"In other cases, we will continue to add arrangements later!"

These days, he has been arranging formations at the Zhou family, and there is also a lot going on at the Tiangong Division.

There are still some areas that need to be improved in the formation.

Then slowly improve it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Deacon Luo!"

Zhou Ling nodded. Through the introduction of the two talents and Deacon Luo, he knew that the spirit gathering formation was now very complete.

The follow-up matters will be gradually completed by Deacon Luo.

"This is my idea, please accept it from Deacon Luo."

Zhou Ling took out a prepared gift from the storage ring and handed it to Deacon Luo.

Although Deacon Luo is now a guest of the Zhou family, he receives a certain amount of offerings every month.

But these days, non-stop, consume a lot of money, Zhou Ling also prepared some pills for him to help him recover as soon as possible.

"Thank you for correcting me!"

Deacon Luo took it and thanked him.

Naturally, he joined the Zhou family as a guest, not because he wanted to be worshiped by the Zhou family.

With his attainments in formations, there are always people asking for him wherever he goes.

The main reason is that Zhou Lingnai is upright and has great potential in the future.

This face should still be given.

"There are still a lot of matters at the Tiangong Department, so I'll go back first!"

Deacon Luo cupped his hands with Zhou Ling again.

Zhou Ling nodded.

After Deacon Luo left, Zhou Ling took out five middle-grade water-attribute spiritual stones and asked Wang Xin to put them into the array disk to activate the array.

First increase the water attribute aura.

After placing the spirit stone into the array plate, Wang Xin immediately activated the magic spell to activate the spirit gathering array.

Suddenly there was a mist on the lake.

······．

Next half month.

Visitors come to visit every day, most of them from aristocratic families.

Mainly discussing the purchase of treasures with Zhou Ling.

The workshop business is in full swing!

It stands to reason that there are many family workshops in Qingyun Immortal City, and the Zhou family workshop was established not long ago.

At present, Zhou Ling is the only one who can refine a third-level treasure.

This will not cause these established families to flock to them.

Of course, generally, business can only be concluded outside of business.

The business of Zhoujia Workshop can be so prosperous.

Mainly for three reasons.

First, in addition to Zhou Ling being able to refine the third-level sword, he is also in charge of the Tiangong Division.

Second, he is still the son-in-law of the Wang family.

Third, Zhou Ling is a heavenly guard with great potential in the future and is worthy of association.

You know, Zhou Ling is only sixteen years old now, and he has such a shocking level of weapon refining.

With the current foundation and the support of forces behind it, the achievements in the future will definitely be high.

Other forces will naturally look for opportunities to make friends with them.

Refining weapons through a workshop is undoubtedly the best choice.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Ling could only act according to his ability.

Understand the situation of each order in detail, and if it is not an urgent order, we will try our best to accept it.

The workshop with five refining furnaces was originally planned, but now it seems that it is still not enough.

Next, the workshop will be expanded.

Fortunately, there was a plan beforehand.

So it's not a big problem.

Just ask Deacon Luo to rearrange the earth fire formation and draw out a line of earth fire.

······．

After a few days of busy work, the affairs of the workshop were handed over to Yuanhu and the others.

Zhou Ling also needs to ensure enough practice time every day.

Fortunately, he had the Sixth Transformation Spiritual Flame Technique and the Five Elements Spiritual Flame to assist him in his cultivation, allowing him to make rapid progress in his cultivation.

According to this progress, he estimates that next year will be enough to reach the peak of foundation building.

During this time, Zhou Ling was also thinking about his next plan.

Now he has four identities in total.

He teaches at Xuanyuan Taoist Academy and Jiutian Sword Academy.

Tiangong Si Tianwei and Zhizheng.

There is also the Xuanwei of the Evil-Slaying Department.

Nowadays, for him, his identity as an upright person is undoubtedly the most important.

Not only do they have great rights, but they also receive many resources.

This will be of great help in rebuilding Lingxiao Sect in the future.

Of course, although he is already Zhizheng, Qin Zhizheng has always been taking care of him in the Tiangong Division.

Therefore, he has been practicing with peace of mind. Apart from completing the tasks of the Tiangong Division, he has not had any interactions with other colleagues.

To put it simply, he has no power of his own in the Tiangong Division.

"When you become an official, you will definitely have to deal with important figures from other major forces."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Fortunately, Lu Yunxi helped arrange the affairs of the Tiangong Department, so it was not a big problem for him.

When you reach the later stage of foundation building, you will naturally have to make more preparations for the matter of forming pills.

Zhou Ling still has some clear understanding of his own abilities.

For anything, you still need to prepare well in advance to be prepared.

Now he already has the Jade Return Golden Pill in his hand, as well as the auxiliary condensed golden pill spiritual object he obtained from his master.

The preparations for condensing the golden elixir and spiritual objects have basically been completed.

Although the process seems smooth, I know how difficult it is.

Like now, he wanted to prepare a jade-returning elixir for Wang Xin, but he had no idea at all.

There are only one or two Tianpin Jade Returning Gold Pills distributed by the Four Avenues Academy every year.

"It seems we still have to find a solution in the Tiangong Division!"

Zhou Ling secretly said.

With his status as a guard and an official, he still has a good chance of getting the Tianpin Jade Returning Gold Elixir.

Moreover, Xin'er has not yet entered the middle stage of foundation building, so she is not in a hurry.

Generally speaking, even for high-grade spiritual roots, it will take at least several years to cultivate from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.

Without sufficient resource supply, it may take more than ten years or even decades.

However, although Wang Xin has a middle-grade spiritual root, she is a dark fire spirit body.

The actual talent is no less than an earth-level spiritual root, and the level of the cultivation techniques is not low.

As long as the resources are sufficient, it is entirely possible to reach the late stage of foundation building within two or three years.

"However, now that Xin'er has a child, her training progress will naturally be greatly reduced!"

Zhou Ling shook his head.

There are still nine years left before the time agreed with the Wang family.

In Zhou Ling's view, this is no longer a problem at all.

"Now everything is going smoothly."

"Next, we must improve our cultivation as soon as possible and strive to form elixirs as soon as possible."

"Fulfill Master's wish to rebuild the Lingxiao Sect!"

Zhou Ling already had a rough idea in mind for the next plan.

Improve your cultivation as soon as possible and strive to form an elixir as soon as possible.

In addition, the planning and establishment of Lingxiao Sect must also be prepared for daily use.

After all, establishing a sect is not that easy.

It requires spiritual land, spiritual veins and other resources. Without advance planning, it may not be possible to prepare properly even if it takes several years.

Of course, he couldn't fall behind in weapon refining and sword cultivation.

These two are the foundation for him to gain a foothold in Qingyun Immortal City.

So there are really a lot of things to do.

And they are all big things.

He also knew that he couldn't rush it, so he could only do it step by step and develop slowly.

"Tomorrow is the day to officially take office as the chief executive!"

"Don't think about it anymore, go to bed first!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling immediately got up and left the training room.

······.

Tiangong Division, side hall.

Zhou Ling sat quietly on the master's chair.

Lu Yunxi sat beside him.

"Chief Executive, the Tiangong Division currently has 380 deacons and 6 deputy executive executives."

"Among them, there are 36 third-grade deacons, 190 second-grade deacons, and 160 first-grade deacons."

"Among them, there are 52 alchemists, 80 weapon refiners, 60 rune masters, 30 formation masters, and the others are puppet masters, beast masters, and other minor magicians."

Lu Yunxi reported to Zhou Ling with a list in her hand.

"Sister Yunxi, what tasks do we have every month in the Tiangong Division now?"

There are less than 400 people, which is less than Zhou Ling expected, and Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.

After all, Qingyun Fairy City is a fourth-grade fairy city with an extremely wide range.

There are 16 Yuanying families alone, and there are even more Jindan families.

Most of the elixirs, treasures, etc. needed by these families are purchased from the Tiangong Division.

With this little manpower, it is definitely impossible to support the huge consumption of Qingyun Fairy City.

"Nowadays, Tiangongsi mainly supplies two aspects."

"On the one hand, it is the consumption of elixirs and treasures of Dao League departments such as Xuantingsi in Xiancheng."

"On the other hand, it provides some families with resources for expanding their boundaries."

"Now Qingyun Xiancheng has been experiencing beast tides for many years, and cults such as Xuehunjiao are also within the controllable range."

"So the main consumption is still in supporting other families to expand their boundaries."

Lu Yunxi said.

"If the output of Tiangongsi's treasures is insufficient, will it affect the expansion of the boundaries of the families?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling asked.

The treasures that the Song family needed to expand their boundaries last time were all provided by the Zhou family.

"It depends on the specific situation. At present, the quality and price of Tiangongsi's treasures are higher than those outside."

"Some families will choose to purchase from other channels appropriately, so generally there will be no impact!"

Lu Yunxi explained.

Zhou Ling nodded.

"Currently, a third-grade deacon has to refine six fifth-grade treasures every month."

"Ten for the second-grade, twenty for the first-grade!"

"Overall, the number is still a little insufficient!"

Lu Yunxi continued to introduce to Zhou Ling.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned slightly. This output was really not flattering.

However, the deacons of the Tiangong Division are all people in the system.

Like him before, he basically just played soy sauce.

Naturally, many people think this way.

He had just taken office, so naturally he didn't have any idea of ​​changing anything.

And with Lu Yunxi's assistance, he was ready to follow the original Qin Zhizheng's route!
