Strategic Bluffing
The Sage Master visited the Azure Cloud Sect and then hurriedly returned to the Langya Sacred Land.
Upon returning to the Langya Sacred Land, the Sage Master immediately ordered, "Buy up all kinds of materials for alchemy and weapon crafting with all your might, even if it means raising prices!"
This matter was carried out in secret.
"Quickly send people to other continents to acquire all kinds of materials for me as quickly as possible."
Now that he had figured out what Zhang Yang was up to, his priority was to seize the materials.
Because without the materials, even the most skilled Alchemist cannot refine pills; and even the most powerful weapon refiner cannot forge Law Treasure!
Tu Shan and the others were completely bewildered. Then, they all sent people with funds to other continents as quickly as possible to acquire materials.
Of course, they weren't so foolish as to go to the Azure Cloud Continent to make acquisitions!
The Sage Master frowned deeply. He could imagine that the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm would soon be engulfed in a massive upheaval surrounding Spirit Stone, materials, pills, and Law Treasure.
In this massive upheaval, many sects are probably so poor they can't even afford to eat.
He looked at the Azure Cloud Sect, calculating how much money the Azure Cloud Sect would make after this massive wave!
He took a quick look and couldn't help but gasp.
"Alas, why isn't such a talent from our Langya Sacred Land?" the Sage Master lamented.
He felt that if someone as talented as Zhang Yang appeared in Langya Sacred Land, Langya Sacred Land would definitely be the best in the world.
Other sects don't know Zhang Yang well enough, and they haven't noticed yet.
Although we already knew that the prices of various alchemy materials were rising, didn't the Azure Cloud Sect already raise prices not long ago?
So what's so strange about that?
In fact, if many sects strictly control the price of materials at this time, there is still hope of curbing the spread of the virus.
But just then, the latest Azure Cloud Gazette Daily was released!
"After five years of research, the Azure Cloud Sect has made a breakthrough in Law Treasure. The Second-Generation Space-Based Weapon, Destroyer No. 2, has officially been unveiled!"
Then, two huge pictures were published in the Azure Cloud Gazette.
Next, another huge picture appeared—a massive airship.
"After five years of hard work, thanks to the efforts of Qingxu Huolingzi, the master weapon refiner of the Azure Cloud Sect, the chief weapon designer of the Qingyun Sect, the Azure Cloud Sect has finally created the Invisible Flying Ship! According to calculations, the Invisible Flying Ship can break through the detection of the Divine Sense of the Dao Integration Realm."
There are still some technical hurdles that haven't been overcome, making it impossible to penetrate the detection of the Tribulation Realm's Divine Sense.
This Azure Cloud Gazette Sect silenced all the sects in the world.
They've come up with another new weapon?
Is this some kind of inhumane treatment?
Upon emerging from seclusion from the Myriad Spirits Sect, Zhou Junchen pointed at the group of weapon refiners and began to berate them. "Are you all useless? Five years was all it took for you to replicate a Space-Based Weapon, and you couldn't even do it!"
Look at the Azure Cloud Sect, they've already forged Second-Generation Space-Based Weapon!
"The sect has nurtured you for so many years and expended so many resources; can't you be of any use?"
The group of weapon refiners were so berated they couldn't even lift their heads. They were helpless, because they had tried everything they could, but they still couldn't replicate the Space-Based Weapon!
According to their calculations, to create the same immense power as the Azure Cloud Sect's Space-Based Weapon, it would have to weigh at least ten million jin!
Even with gravity runes, the iron rod itself would still weigh between 200,000 and 500,000 jin.
However, they couldn't possibly forge an iron rod weighing 200,000 jin (approximately 100,000 kg) to that size!
Not to mention its weight of 500,000 jin!
They still don't know how the Azure Cloud Sect did it!
Who could have imagined that it was created by two Demon Lords at the True Immortal Realm level?
Having a group of top-tier Dao Integration Realm weapon refiners, or even Primordial Spirit Realm weapon refiners, complete this task would increase the difficulty countless times.
"Continue your research!" Zhou Junchen shouted sternly. "Also, have you finished forging the guns I asked you to make? What about the Destroyer?"
A weapon refiner hurriedly said, "Vice Sect Master, we've made some progress with the spear!"
"What was the result?" Zhou Junchen asked.
A weapon refiner took out a gun and handed it to Zhou Junchen.
Zhou Junchen's eyes lit up, he took out his gun, aimed, and fired. The bullet did fly out, but it went completely astray!
"These are your guns?" Zhou Junchen glared at the group of weapon refiners.
The weapon refiner gave a wry smile, "We haven't figured out the accuracy yet, but we should be able to solve that soon."
If Zhang Yang were here, he would quickly understand where the problem lies.
Without rifling, how can you aim?
Did you really think it was an iron pipe?
Afterwards, Zhou Junchen instructed everyone to study the Invisible Flying Ship, at least to crack its Invisible Flying Ship.
Because the Invisible Flying Ship, combined with Space-Based Weapon and Destroyer Weapon, means that it can wipe out all the top-tier sects in the world at any time, and even the most powerful sects are under threat.
Countless weapon refiners are busy again.
All the sect leaders' attention was drawn to the news Azure Cloud Gazette, and they didn't even notice the increase in material prices.
In the Langya Sacred Land, the Sage Master frowned as he looked at the weapons presented by Azure Cloud Gazette.
Even if he were shameless, he wouldn't go to the Azure Cloud Sect to ask Zhang Yang to take out these secret weapons for him to examine.
But how exactly do the weapon refiners of the Azure Cloud Sect refine their weapons?
Why can't others refine it?
At the Azure Cloud Sect, Qingxu asked Yu Song, "Are you done filming? I'll put these shells away once I'm done!"
"Uncle-Master, filming is finished! You've worked hard, Uncle-Master!" Yu Song bowed respectfully to Qingxu.
Qingxu glanced at Yu Song a few times. He originally thought Yu Song was "clumsy," but since the kid was being so polite, he couldn't bring himself to scold him!
After arriving at the Azure Cloud Sect, many disciples treated him with utmost respect, addressing him as "Uncle-Master" and "Grandmaster," leaving him speechless with many sarcastic remarks.
He felt that after arriving at the Azure Cloud Sect, his words wouldn't be of much use anymore.
Because he's too old to criticize them; they're all highly skilled in their respective fields, what can he say?
As for the younger ones, they were extremely respectful to him. Even when they were scolded, they would still smile and reply, "Uncle-Master is right!"
Under such circumstances, what could Qingxu possibly say?
Qingxu shook his head, removed the outer shell of "Destroyer No. 2," and found it to be empty inside...
But that Invisible Flying Ship is real!
The Invisibility Rune have been broken through by Hualingzi and Qingxu, who have actually created Invisible Flying Ship.
As for the other weapons, they're all scams!
However, the other sects don't know about this!
Countless sects have devoted a great deal of energy to focusing on weapons that do not exist.
Six months later, the Azure Cloud Gazette was published again.
This time, the announcement is that Danchenzi has developed the Dao-Controlling Pill!
The Dao-Controlling Pill allows those at the Dao Integration Realm to better integrate with the Great Dao, better control the Great Dao, and enhance their compatibility with the Great Dao.
The news shocked the world once again.
At this time, the price of an ordinary Mayflower had risen to thirty Spirit Stone, several times higher!
