The three old men and Ye Ming sat at the table, arguing heatedly.
It was mainly the three of them who spoke, and Ye Ming listened.
“Listen to me, change the floating stone first.
Although that thing is not very useful when installed on a fighter plane, it is absolutely suitable for providing power for a moon rocket!"
"I think Iron Stone and Flame Crystal are better. Our most important thing now is national defense. Only when national defense is stable can we consider other things."
"Who do you think dares to fight us head-on?"
"That's not what I meant. Play it safe. I meant play it safe!"
"What the hell is stability? Don't forget that Ying Country also has extraordinary people. These are the ones that are displayed in the open. What about those hidden under the water?"
Seeing that the old man was getting more and more angry and was about to roll up his sleeves to fight again, Ye Ming closed his eyes in pain.
This group of people cannot be scolded or beaten, they can only be coaxed.
After a few days, the director, Chaoqi, and Yue Ruquan ran to the top of the mountain behind to take refuge.
He wanted to go with them, but someone had to stay on the scene to take care of them.
In the end, the three of them kept him here as a punching bag, using the excuse that "you are the destined one".
Why is he a doormat?
"Xiao Ye, you are a reasonable person. Tell me, whose opinion is better?"
"Well, I think..."
The three old men stared at them, looking quite eager.
He looked left and right for a while, then hesitated and said, "How about we wait until the supplies from China are delivered?"
If you are about to decide to exchange something for "stone", of course you have to figure out what is more valuable in your home.
The director took this into consideration when he returned to Su City to pick someone up.
While waiting for the transfer, he reported to his old leader and said that he was preparing a batch of rare materials.
There is no need to consider whether it is widely used or whether it is actually expensive, as long as it is rare enough.
Ye Ming estimated that based on the domestic efficiency, it would take at most three more days to arrive.
Before that, everything we discuss is meaningless.
If China cannot exchange for a few "stones" by then, don't worry about which one to take first, just try to find something worth "stones" first.
The old men probably thought what he said made sense, so they put aside their quarrel and went to Qingfeng Tang together.
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up and walked towards the back mountain.
Leave quickly before they come back and block you again.
…………
The top of the back mountain.
The director and two other men sat cross-legged at the top of a slope, turning a weed in their hands, looking at the five people pacing back and forth in the open space below the slope.
"Xiao Yue, do you think their practice is useful?"
"How would I know? I don't know how to practice."
"Zhao Qi, what about you?"
He turned his head towards the director, his eyes full of confusion.
Sighing deeply, the director pushed his face back and said, "I know it's useless to ask you."
"Then you still ask."
"Isn't this just idle?"
"You go chop trees when you have nothing to do. Yesterday you said that you felt much better after chopping trees for a few days."
"That also requires the immortal medicine of Immortal Xu."
The three men couldn't stand the noise of the academicians, so they thought it would be better to go up the mountain to cut down trees, which would not only allow them to exercise but also provide some peace and quiet.
But after Luo Xiling and the other four entered the second stage of training, Xu stopped sending them the elixir.
To be precise, they did give it away, but it was only enough for five people and there was no portion for them.
Without the "BUFF" blessing, they would definitely not be able to cut down trees for a whole day.
After all, they are all ordinary bodies. Although they have been strengthened a bit in the early period, there has been no qualitative change.
"Or, why don't we go ask Master Xu for some advice? He's very generous, so it shouldn't be difficult, right?" Yue Ruo muttered.
"Okay, who's going?"
The three fell silent.
After a while, Zhao Qi couldn't stand the dead silence anymore, so he started a new topic: "I don't know how the discussion with Ye Ming and the others went."
"I asked about it last night, but there has been no progress. I guess we have to wait for the supplies to arrive before we can move forward."
"Hey, you say, since stone is a kind of energy block, can our machines use it?"
"If we find a suitable conversion method, it will definitely work." The director stroked his chin, "I asked Academician Sun, and he also said it can be used, but he doesn't recommend it."
"why?"
"You think the stone reserves are scarce, right?"
"Ah."
"That's right. If a type of energy is scarce, even if it has high quality, many benefits, great development prospects, or a wide range of applications, it can't be used for a long time."
"right."
Nodding, Yue Ruo bent his legs and put his chin on his knees: "I also said that in my lifetime, I can see humans once again industrial GM."
"Maybe if you're lucky... Look at Xiao Luo!"
"What's wrong?!"
The director, who was looking at the trees in the distance with boredom, suddenly jumped up and looked at the open space below.
The wandering Luo Xiling stopped at some point, her eyes closed, her lips moving as if she was muttering something.
Suddenly, she put her index and middle fingers together to form a sword and raised it above her head.
"bass--"
The Yueming Sword in her hand was unsheathed and floated horizontally in front of her.
"Wow! It worked!"
The four people who were staring blankly at the side were awakened by the scream and hurriedly gathered around to look at the Yueming Sword.
They had seen Immortal Xu try it once before. At that time, Xu was high in the sky, and not only was the sword far away, but the speed of his swing was also very fast. Coupled with the dazzling sword energy, they could not see what the Yueming Sword looked like.
"What a...what a handsome sword!" The little girl among the four had shining eyes.
The other three also sighed that it was much better looking than the ones they had.
After appreciating it, they finally remembered the most important thing: "How did this happen?"
Luo Xiling scratched her head, frowning as she thought hard: "Well... I thought, didn't Master say that the Moonlight Sword has spirits? If I say some nice things, maybe it will be willing to follow my orders?"
They looked at each other.
"Let's not talk about whether this is true or not...even if it is reliable, we can't imitate it, right?"
The Yueming Sword has a spirit because it is a famous sword. The swords in the hands of him and others are ordinary iron swords, so where does the spirit come from?
Zhang Mu, who was floating above everyone's heads with the shadow technique, took everything in and was a little amazed.
This unfortunate thing is really a genius in cultivation.
What Zhang Mu called cultivating his mind was actually nothing mysterious. He just placed a blank spiritual power core inside the sword.
The function of this core is somewhat similar to that of an electronic combination lock.
The mental fluctuations of each magician are different. By engraving the mental imprint on the core, the switch of the magic core can be controlled.
The reason why he locked it was because he was worried that someone would take his secret book and practice blindly to come up with something.
Don’t let anyone come and summon the sword by performing the standard gesture, that would be a joke.
What if the mental strength of several people is too weak to leave a mark?
Zhang Mu thought of a compromise.
Carve a universal magic array in the core, activate it yourself, and then release the permissions.
In this way, the five people only need to connect their mental power with the magic circle.
Of course, this is not easy for them. An ordinary magician, even an apprentice level magician, can do it very easily.
However, the five people had never received any training and were unable to control their mental power. They could only allow themselves to be passively attracted by the magic circle and slowly establish a connection.
Zhang Mu estimated that this process would take at least five days, but he did not expect Luo Xiling to complete it in two days.
If there were no signs of spiritual practice on her body, Zhang Mu would have suspected that there really was a hermit extraordinary person on Lan Xing.
"Tsk, if the teacher meets her, maybe I will really have another junior schoolmate."
Shaking his head with a silent smile, Zhang Mu did not disturb them and turned to go to Qingfeng Hall.
At this time, the three old men were gathered in front of the long counter, chatting enthusiastically with Senior Brother Zhou.
Until he looked out the door - Senior Brother Zhou reminded them that he was about to get off work.
The old men didn't bother or get annoying, they just turned around and went back to the courtyard.
However, Brother Zhou, who used to go to work on time every day, was now sitting behind the counter motionless, his eyes becoming dull and lifeless.
Zhang Mu's figure appeared in the hall, and he waved his hand lightly, and the door closed automatically.
"You're such a chatterbox. I still have to upgrade the puppet's core."
While complaining, he took out the crystal ball from the inventory and walked behind the puppet, but suddenly the director's voice came into his mind.
The figure was instantly teleported to the top of the mountain, and the director happily ran up to him and said, "Xuxianren, can you take me out for a while? The supplies we prepared will probably arrive soon."
