"Palace Master Li, please calm down. Palace Master Li, please calm down. Palace Master Li, please allow us and Master Zhang to return to the empire. We will definitely show enough sincerity to compensate for the offense against Palace Master Li."
A top star refiner in the imperial delegation hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
Li Yin did not say anything. He directly summoned Zhang Dongwang, who had almost no star power left in his body, and went straight to another palace on the top of Hualong Mountain.
Conventional means are simply useless against astral bodies, and ordinary cells are also unable to hold astral bodies, especially great star masters who can integrate into the atomic will.
However, there are many great star refiners in this world who commit crimes. For this reason, people have specially refined a special cage based on the characteristics of astral bodies.
The star refiner of this cage must continuously supply star power into it and perform operations similar to "labor reform". Once stopped, the cage will sound an alarm.
The constant supply of star power curbs the possibility of the great star refiner to accumulate star power. Without star power, it is naturally difficult to transform into starlight, and one cannot exert much of his strength. He can only accept the transformation honestly.
Of course, this kind of "cell" is not sturdy enough for a great star refiner.
But what can truly intimidate the Great Star Refiner and keep him in line is the power that captured him alive.
As long as this power exists, unless the great star master is really determined to die, he will never dare to escape from prison easily.
And the product of their "labor reform"...
It is the spirit gathering bead that Li Bin had refined before.
The Spirit Gathering Pearl can increase the limit of a Martial Saint, but for top-level star refiners it is also a treasure for restoring star power.
As for the Star Refiners below the top level...
Without astral bodies, which are big energy consumers, there is basically no need to worry about the consumption of star power.
Li Bin brought Zhang Dongwang and soon arrived at a building with a diameter of more than 30 meters, which was similar to an altar, but there were thirteen crystal columns in the middle and around it.
"As a great star refiner, you must keep ten of the thirteen star energy pillars lit. If I find out that you are being cunning..."
Li Yin threw Zhang Dongwang onto the altar building: "The Great Star Refiner should not die in the human race's civil war, but this does not include those stubborn elements who refuse to change their ways despite repeated admonitions."
"Palace Master Li, why are you so desperate? We have come to the Xingwu Temple specifically to seek cooperation..."
Zhang Dongwang said hurriedly.
"Seeking cooperation?"
Li Yin said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, but now is not the time to cooperate. Anyway, you will not accept the conditions I put forward sooner or later, and you may even think that I..."
At this point, he sighed, "Arrogant."
Zhang Dongwang looked at Li Pin...
You, the master of the Star Martial Temple, actually dare to challenge the empire that is one of the six poles of the world. If this is not arrogance, what is
If there were no huge interests, the six major countries in the world would have to give you face and would not dare to act rashly against you.
but…
Skill stone!
In the past two months, they have sent people to "sneak into" the black gold mining area. By chance, they discovered a corpse king and successfully took away a skill stone from the corpse king, confirming the function of this treasure!
It’s true!
This thing is so powerful that it can contain all the experience and insights of a top master, making it a treasure passed down through the Dharma. How precious is it!
Even compared to the legendary star weapon, it is not much inferior!
What an amazing benefit!
If the empire is really given an endless supply of skill stones, it won’t take long for the empire to be able to cultivate a large number of great star refiners and legendary powerhouses.
You know, before reaching the Grand Star Refiner stage, a star refiner can improve his strength by directly visualizing the Star God and refining starlight. All he needs is to give him the comprehension of a Martial Saint, the experience of forging a star body, and a skill stone. In two or three months, a star refiner can grow to the level of a top star refiner.
If one starts out as a top-notch star refiner, and has the same insights as Fu Qingtian, who transformed from the King of the Century to become the strongest person, then how far can the next great star refiner and legend be
In this case, the effect that the skill stone can bring to the star refiner is far greater than that of the god of war.
If all goes well, all crises facing humanity will be resolved in a very short time.
This is also the reason why the empire is determined to take action against the black gold mining area, even at the risk of offending Li Bin, the pioneer of the martial arts world, and being cut off from the martial arts world in the future.
The benefits are too great.
Zhang Dongwang was silent for a moment, and then he said in a sincere tone: "Palace Master Li, listen to my advice. Skill stones are a valuable resource related to the future of the human race... You can't control them."
“A valuable resource.”
Li Yin said calmly: "No matter how valuable the skill stones are, they are not as good as the six great divine rings, right? The Void Ring that can arrive at any battlefield to provide support at any time, the Rebirth Ring that can revive the dead, the Destruction Ring that controls fire, the Spirit Ring that can materialize the spirit, the Void Ring that can disappear without being detected by any living being, and the Soul Ring that can blind the mind and separate the soul from the body!"
Each of these six divine rings is unreasonable.
"That's different."
Zhang Dongwang retorted instinctively.
“I know what’s different.”
Li Yin said: "Because, the ones who control these divine rings are the six poles of the world."
Zhang Dongwang frowned.
Isn’t this normal? Human beings are developing and progressing under the leadership of the six poles of the world.
If the six poles of the world had not attacked everywhere, cleared out dangerous places, killed ferocious beasts and monsters to maintain world peace, I am afraid that lands like Dayue would have been devastated and turned into a paradise for ferocious beasts and monsters long ago.
But then, he seemed to realize something, and his eyes suddenly shrank: "You... you want to make the Star Martial Temple the seventh best in the world!?"
"The seventh pole in the world... I never thought of it that way."
Li Yin said calmly: "But, it is not too much to ask to open up a holy place that belongs entirely to martial artists."
Zhang Dongwang looked at Li Bin as if he was a madman.
The six poles of the world have all felt the oppression brought by ferocious beasts and monsters, and are thinking of using the Human Alliance to unify all countries in the world in order to concentrate all the world's manpower and material resources to fight against ferocious beasts and monsters. But at this critical juncture, he is actually calling on warriors to try to open up a martial arts holy land comparable to the seventh pole of the world
Isn't this dividing humanity
Isn't this going against the general policy of human unification
Is there any human consciousness left
Do you have any sense of the overall situation?!
"Every force should contribute to the great unification of mankind! Li Yin, as the pioneer of the martial god, the founder of all martial artists, and the new ancestor of martial arts, you should lead by example and never make mistakes!"
Zhang Dongwang said loudly.
"Those who seek to use other people's resources to protect their own interests have no right to say such things."
Li Pin said.
"We are doing this for the future of the world..."
Zhang Dongwang refuted with righteous words.
"So, if you have these resources like skill stones in your hands, it's for the future of the world, but if we have them, it would just divide the human race and ignore the overall situation?"
Li Pin's tone turned slightly colder.
"you… "
"Stay here honestly and don't do anything that will cause me to misunderstand you, otherwise..."
Li Yin paused and gave him a cold look: "You will die."
Even though Zhang Dongwang was a great star master, he still felt a chill down his spine when he saw Li Bin's look.
The mental value of over 100 gave him a vague premonition...
Li Pin, I'm not kidding.
If he really thought that as a great star refiner of the empire, he would take a break from the sky and escape after restoring his star power, he...
You will really die.
…
When Li Pin landed outside the courtyard where he lived again, Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and others had already arrived.
Although the fight between him and Zhang Dongwang was almost a one-sided victory, the noise caused by the confrontation between beings of this level still alarmed the entire Hualong Mountain.
It was impossible for Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and others to be unaware of it.
"Palace Master."
Seeing Li Yin, several people hurried forward, with shame on their faces: "It is because of our incompetence that the imperial envoy dared to commit atrocities in our Hualong Mountain."
"Okay, there's no need to say anything more. Just do your own thing."
Li Yin said, "Also, strengthen the defense of the black gold mining area. If you find a strange star refiner sneaking in, kill him on the spot. If you are a strong person who cannot resist, you can directly send a message to me for help."
"yes."
Shishihu was shocked and quickly agreed.
"What are the results of the experiment at the Corpse King Palace?"
"It went very smoothly."
Xinghui stepped forward and said, "At present, the zombies have basically completed their transformation and evolved into zombie kings. In addition, we have discovered a special phenomenon. Using star tools to cultivate zombie kings is more effective than using star crystals alone."
After saying that, he quickly added: "Especially those star instruments that have been used by people for a long time... It's like... there is a factor in them that we don't know about, which helps the transformation of the corpse king, shortening the transformation time by nearly half."
"Shorten the time by half?"
Li Pin pondered for a moment.
The cultivation of the Corpse King requires the investment of a small amount of star crystals, and the transformation takes more than a year.
If a large amount of star crystals are invested, the transformation time will be compressed to less than one year. The higher the quality of the star crystals, the higher the efficiency of the corpse king's transformation.
However, since the war gods basically cleared out the monsters in the black gold mining area and seized the star crystals, the star crystals currently used to cultivate the Corpse King are mainly high-level, and the transformation time of the Corpse King is also about ten months.
And using a star device can shorten that time by half...
That's five months.
In five months, you can get dozens of skill stones...
"Then go exchange the star instruments, or even implement a trade-in program."
Li Yin said, "Besides the Corpse King Palace, have you found other places to train Corpse Kings?"
"No."
Xinghui shook his head: "We have tried many passes, but none of them are as effective as the Corpse King Hall. The special location there gathers the dead energy from all over the world and mixes it into a special energy that can quickly transform zombies into Corpse Kings. Other areas...maybe Corpse Kings will be born, but it will take more than ten years, or even decades, and it is full of uncontrollable."
After saying that, he added, "Also, when the number of zombies in the Corpse King Hall exceeds forty, it seems that there is not enough special energy, which will cause the overall evolution to slow down."
"So, even if there are enough old star instruments, we can only produce less than 40 skill stones every six months?"
Li Pin said.
“This is the conclusion we have drawn from our current research.”
Xinghui nodded.
"That's it for now then."
Li Yin said, "In a month, when all the corpse kings have completed their transformation, I will purge them once, and you should also prepare for a new round of corpse king training in advance."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and the others: "Make a list of the training supplies we need most. A trade fair will be held at the Xingwu Temple in a month."
Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and the others reacted very quickly and realized something immediately. They were shocked: "The Palace Master wants to... sell the skill stones publicly!?"
Li Yin nodded.
He doesn't like to be secretive.
Since the skill stones can no longer be concealed, we might as well sell some of them to exchange for the truly top resources that each country uses as a trump card, in order to quickly improve the strength of the Star Martial Temple.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he can withstand the subsequent counterattack from the empire.
