With such doubts, Huode Xingjun's subordinate officials came to Song Zhong's official residence to ask for an audience. When Song Zhong heard that someone from Lord Huodexing was coming, he naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly invited him in.
After the subordinate officer exchanged polite words with Song Zhong, he handed over the approval document from Lord Huo Dexing. Song Zhong took it over and took a look, and was immediately overjoyed. Both the military strength and the number of craftsmen were far beyond what he had hoped for.
In addition, the rewards for everyone in Chentangguan were also very generous. The only pity was that Song Zhong’s contribution was so great that Lord Huodexing did not dare to deal with it on his own, so he could only report it to the Jade Emperor and let him reward him personally.
Of course, these are all trivial matters. Song Zhong doesn't care about the rewards, as long as they are given to soldiers, generals and craftsmen. So he asked excitedly: "When will these soldiers and craftsmen arrive?"
"Master Qi, Xingjun's troop deployment order has been issued. It is estimated that these people will arrive one after another in the next few days. You can rest assured and do a good job in receiving them!" The subordinate officer said with a smile. .
"Okay, okay!" Song Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't help laughing: "With them, I, Chen Tangguan, can sit back and relax!"
When the official heard this, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, just because of the city wall you built outside, you can already sit back and relax? Iron Mother besieging the city? Even Zhurong City doesn't have such luxury?"
After Song Zhong heard this, he said disapprovingly: "It's not that Zhu Rongcheng can't afford it, it's that it's not rare to use it. There are no monsters causing trouble there and it's peaceful. Do you think it's worth spending so much effort to build the city wall?"
"Hey, that's true!" The subordinate officer then suddenly asked: "By the way, sir, you used so much iron mother to build the city wall, where did the materials come from?"
"Ah, this?" Song Zhong laughed and said, "The mountain man has his own clever plan!"
The matter related to the secret of Song Zhong's natal space, so of course he couldn't tell it.
As soon as the subordinate officer saw it, he knew that Song Zhong was unwilling. Naturally, he had no way to deal with Song Zhong, so he could only change the topic and said: "By the way, sir, my Xingjun asked me to ask you, your contribution value is already high enough." Yes, do you want to exchange for something?"
"This!" Song Zhong remembered this when he heard this. After reporting on the Seven Color Flowing Fire Restriction, his contribution had exceeded 10 million, and he could even redeem it for a ninth-grade immortal weapon.
Song Zhong then lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then asked: "I want to refine a special ninth-grade immortal weapon. Is it possible?"
"Oh, according to the regulations, you can make such a request, but~" the subordinate officer said a little embarrassedly: "Immortal weapons with special requirements generally use special and precious materials. I'm afraid this is a bit It’s difficult!”
Song Zhong also knew that all the immortal weapons that Heavenly Court agreed to redeem were relatively rubbish. Even the ninth-grade immortal weapons were not of any quality. Otherwise they would be reluctant to part with it. That's why Song Zhong wanted them to refine special immortal weapons, and he also guessed that this might be possible, but it would cost extra.
So Song Zhong was not surprised by the official's embarrassed expression. He just smiled and asked, "What if I provide the materials myself?"
"Oh, in that case, there will be no problem!" The subordinate officer immediately said happily: "You can give me your requirements and materials, and I will help you bring them to Xingjun, and he will make the immortal artifact according to your requirements. The grade, as well as the refining difficulty, tell you how much contribution should be deducted!"
"Okay, okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Song Zhong stood up and said with a smile.
"Please do it!" The subordinate officer knew that Song Zhong was going to prepare materials, so he didn't take Song Zhong's departure seriously.
After Song Zhong said polite words again, he came to the secret room at the back. He first took out a piece of sun essence, then brushed it with a brush and wrote down his requirements.
Song Zhong's idea is very simple, which is to refine the core of a ninth-grade immortal weapon that can drive the super sun flying boat. The material used is the essence of the sun. This thing is of extremely high grade and can definitely be used to refine the best ninth-grade immortal weapon, and its attributes are also consistent with the true fire of the sun. Compared with becoming the core of the flying boat, it will definitely be able to greatly increase the power of the sun divine boat.
After writing his request, Song Zhong sealed the sun essence and the post into a storage bag to avoid being intercepted by subordinate officials on the road. After all, even Hunyuan Golden Immortal would be tempted by such a precious material!
Afterwards, Shenzhou came back with these two things, handed them over to his subordinates, and said with a smile: "Please give these things to Mr. Huodexing!"
When the subordinate officer saw Song Zhong sealing the storage bag, he immediately understood what Song Zhong was thinking. He couldn't help but said disdainfully, "You sealed it, obviously because you were worried that I would intercept it?" You are a little golden fairy, what good things can you come up with that are worthy of me? How self-righteous! snort! '
Although the subordinate officer was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it. He took the bag with a smile and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely give it to Lord Xing!"
Song Zhong thanked him hurriedly and gave him some purple jade as a gift before sending him away.
…
Let's say that after the subordinate officer returned to Lord Huodexing, he told Lord Huodexing what he saw and heard, and then frowned and said, "Sir, I suspect that someone secretly sold strategic materials to Song Zhong. Otherwise, he would How is it possible to build a super iron mother city wall that is thousands of miles long, thousands of feet high, and a hundred miles thick?”
Lord Huodexing was shocked when he heard this. Indeed, without Zhu Rongtian's support, there would be few major forces in the entire thirty-third level of heaven that could easily build such a large project. Not to mention that Song Zhong is just a person who has been in the immortal world for only a few years. Is there really something fishy about this
Although Lord Huo Dexing likes Song Zhong, it does not mean that he can tolerate his subordinates betraying him and secretly selling military supplies to Song Zhong.
Therefore, Lord Huodexing did not hesitate and said directly: "Thoroughly investigate this matter. The focus is on Lord Liehuo and other Lords who are related to Song Zhong. If this matter really happens, don't ignore it!"
After all, this matter is related to the stable logistics of Heavenly Court, and the stakes are too high, so Lord Huodexing, as an important minister of Heavenly Court, dare not be careless in the slightest.
The subordinate officer hurriedly agreed: "Yes, just leave it to me! No one can completely conceal such a large amount! I can find this moth in three days at most!"
"That's the best!" Huo Dexingjun then asked: "Did you ask Song Zhong about his contribution?"
"Ask!" The subordinate officer immediately took out the bag Song Zhong gave him, handed it to Lord Huodexing, and said with a smile: "He said he wanted to refine a ninth-grade immortal weapon by himself, but it was just his request. and the enclosed materials!”
"Oh, he wants to refine it himself? And he sealed the bag?" Hearing this, Mr. Huodexing immediately said with interest: "It seems that he is very worried about his materials? Let me see, what is it? What is it that deserves Song Zhong to be so careful about!"
While speaking, Huode Xingjun opened the bag casually, and then took out a beautiful golden stone the size of a human head. Then, Huodexingjun and the subordinate officer took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time!
"Ah!" Huode Xingjun exclaimed: "Sun Essence? The purest one? Is it still so big?"
"Good boy!" The subordinate officer also said in shock: "Fortunately, this kid has been sealed up, otherwise, I might have withheld a piece of it? Sir, even the Emperor of Heaven's treasure house doesn't even have this kind of thing. How much is it? Where did that kid get it?"
"How do I know?" Lord Huodexing frowned and said, "Could it be that he got it from the Emperor of Heaven's treasury? But I remember that Taibai Jinxing said that what Song Zhong Mingming got was the Xiantian True Water, the Immortal Jade, and the True Sun Vulcan Thunder Tower? Could it be that Taibai Jinxing gave him other benefits in private?"
"Who cares? Anyway, if such a good thing falls into your hands, you can't let it go to waste!" The subordinate officer smiled and said: "Such a large amount of sun essence is enough to refine two ninth-grade immortal weapons. Then The kid just doesn’t know what he’s selling at first glance, right?”
"Hehe, he is not an ignorant fool, this is a benefit he deliberately gave me!" Huo Dexingjun said with a smile: "After all, this thing belongs to fire, and only the immortals of the fire system can refine it to achieve its greatest effectiveness. And among the Emperor of Heaven, the most suitable person is undoubtedly me. Obviously, this kid is trying to get my idea?"
"Ah?" When the official heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Do you want to personally help him refine the immortal weapon?"
You know, as a master of playing with fire, Lord Huodexing is one of the Hunyuan Golden Immortals who is best at refining weapons in the immortal world. Known as the first person to refine Hunyuan weapons. This means that in the realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, no one can refine weapons better than him. Even Taibai Jinxing has to step aside.
But when you reach the realm of Huode Xingjun, you won't refine immortal weapons at will. Even if it is a friend's request, he will not take action without sufficient benefits and interest. And once it arouses his interest, then if he doesn't take action, then if he does, it must be a high-quality product, otherwise his brand will be ruined!
It is precisely because of this that there are not many immortal weapons produced by Lord Huodexing in the immortal world, but every item is a real good thing. I don’t know how many immortals are trying to get it!
It's a pity that Huode Xingjun's vision is too high now, and there are very few things that interest him. Therefore, he has not refined a single immortal weapon in hundreds of thousands of years. But unexpectedly, an exception was made for Song Zhong today. That's why the subordinate officer was so surprised.
Lord Huodexing smiled calmly and said, "This piece of sun essence is very pure. I haven't seen such a good thing in hundreds of thousands of years. My hands are itching! Besides, Song Zhong is a person worth investing in." , it is appropriate to make an exception for him. Go tell Song Zhong, just say, I refined this thing of his, and as for the contribution, just write it off!"
"Yes!" The subordinate officer hurriedly agreed, and then went to reply to Song Zhong.
…
Song Zhong heard that his tens of millions of contributions had been written off in one stroke, and no trace of them was left behind. He said that he was definitely lying if he said he didn't feel distressed. After all, contribution points are too difficult to get. I only got hundreds of thousands of contribution points from selling so many high-end good materials to True Lord Liehuo and the others. As for things like the Colorful Flowing Fire Restriction, you are lucky to see it once. Don't even think about having such an opportunity again.
So Song Zhong estimated that it would take at least several thousand years for him to collect tens of millions of contribution points next time.
However, it hurts, and overall, he is quite satisfied. After all, Huode Xingjun's identity is here, the number one person in the immortal world who refines Hunyuan Golden Immortal weapons! The ninth-grade immortal weapon he refined was not only liked by immortals, but even some emperor-level masters wanted to get it.
In fact, in terms of weapon refining skills alone, Huode Xingjun has surpassed most of the Heavenly Emperors. Unfortunately, Huodexingjun is not strong enough and has no ability to refine innate objects, so he cannot refine innate treasures. Otherwise, I am afraid that the innate treasure in the hands of the Emperor of Heaven will beg him to refine it!
With such a person helping him refine the ninth-grade immortal weapon, what else could Song Zhong have to complain about? Just because of his status, the price of the sale is more than 10 million contribution points. You know, there was once a Hunyuan Golden Immortal who was willing to pay the price of two ninth-grade immortal weapons to ask Lord Huodexing to help him refine the immortal weapons. He also brought his own materials, but Lord Huodexing politely refused. !
After he once again misled De Xingjun's subordinate officials, Song Zhong began a vigorous large-scale production movement.
With the arrival of Zhu Rongtian's troops and craftsmen, Chentang Pass also began to become lively. Song Zhong handed over all the troops to Huang Jixiang for training. The exercise was not about fighting in battle, but about controlling flying boats and dragon-patterned cannons.
For this reason, Song Zhong handed over all the remaining 200 flying boats to Huang Jixiang and asked him to arrange for these heavenly soldiers and generals to take turns driving them and conduct drills.
At the same time, after selling more than 100 flying boats, Song Zhong received a large amount of fairy thunder from various sects. He did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately ordered the flower demons in his natal space to go all out to produce and create as soon as possible. There are two sizes of 3,000-foot and 5,000-foot fairy thunder flying boats!
In order to save time, Song Zhong only asked the flower demons to build the hull. As for the dragon-patterned cannon, he gave it all to the 500,000 immortal craftsmen allocated by Zhu Rongtian.
Song Zhong did this for two reasons. The first was to save time. After all, there were a large number of dragon-marked cannons on each flying boat. It took the flower demons a lot of time to make them. Now that they are given to outsiders, they can use them to make them. Time was spent building the flying boat.
The second reason is that these dragon-marked cannons are not complicated, and their confidentiality is not high. Even if they are leaked, there will not be a big problem. That's why Song Zhong felt free to hand them over to outsiders.
In addition, Song Zhong planned to build the city wall of Chentangguan into dozens of layers from top to bottom, with each layer covered with dragon-patterned cannons to replace the previous divine thunder tower. In this way, without the consumption of the Divine Thunder Tower, the protective power on the city wall will increase exponentially, and the firepower will also increase several times, making it a truly indestructible fortress.
