From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 359 Humane Weapons
Hushan Island, west coast.

Yu Shuyang brought Jin Hu and the two daughters of the Zhu family, and sent the chief temple priest and the Dragon Marquis of Beihai off the island. The two sides finally finalized the matter.

Zhu Gangbiao, who had been running errands back and forth, also breathed a sigh of relief. He was exhausted in the past two days, and his heart was finally at ease.

Ever since he saw Yu Shuyang kill the Tiger Stick Demon Master and Tang Heibiao, he finally understood. Now Yu Shuyang was no longer regarded as the godson of Yu Island Master and Zhu Sanniang.

"Island Master Yu, do you have any other instructions?"

Zhu Gangbiao greeted very respectfully.

"Uncle Zhu, please don't be so polite. I have something to discuss with you. I want to do business with the Zhu family.

Our spider silk can be woven into robes, but I wonder if it can be woven into soft armor. If we work at full capacity, how much can we refine in a month?" Yu Shuyang asked patiently.

In the previous life, there was soft armor made from spider silk. Although spider silk was thin and easy to break, the soft armor woven into it could not be cut by a knife or penetrated by a gun.

I just discussed with the chief temple priest about the Desolate Sea Water Market. Now that the water market has been handed over to him for control, we can’t just rely on the salt, sugar and wax from the barbarians. We need something else to back it up.

Since the human race is in the process of making weapons, it would be most appropriate to do business in weapons and armor. Therefore, Yu Shuyang thought of spider silk soft armor.

In the previous life in the Fuli world, the demon race was killed by humans, leaving only a few half-demons, most of whom were silkworm girls and spider girls, who could herd spiritual insects and collect silk threads to make spiritual clothes and soft armor.

"Soft armor? This tribe has never made it, so I can't answer that. I need Island Master Yu to give me a pattern, and then I can calculate the number of forbidden spiritual characters.

Only in this way can we determine how long it will take to refine one piece, and then calculate the amount of resources in the tribe and the number of weavers who can refine armor."

Zhu Gangbiao did not dare to make any promises rashly. He just exaggerated the difficulties tenfold and told them in detail to Yu Shuyang.

On this side, Yu Shuyang could also hear the intention of evading responsibility, and he knew in his heart that Zhu Gangbiao had been frightened by what had happened in the past two days.

Seeing this, he couldn't ask any more questions. Zhu Gangbiao might be frightened to death, so he could only patiently say, "Second Uncle Zhu, I wonder if the Haixia Patriarch is here in the Desolate Sea?"

Zhu Gangbiao was stunned by the question, his expression was a little flustered, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and finally he said "hmm" in great pain.

Seeing this, Yu Shuyang knew that something must have happened to Patriarch Haixia. He remembered that Li Zhen once said that Patriarch Haixia was originally in the Wuhui Cave at Qianzhang Cliff, waiting for Zhu Sanniang to overcome the tribulation and break through to the fifth level.

Unexpectedly, Patriarch Haixia suddenly grew old and then left Wuhui Cave. Yu Shuyang just asked casually.

"Oh! Uncle Zhu, don't be afraid. Our two families are not outsiders. I want to do a business with the Zhu family.

How about this, I'll draw the specifications of the soft armor for you, and you can go back and measure it, calculate the average monthly production, and then set a price.

No matter how many pieces of armor there are, as long as they can be refined, I want them all." Yu Shuyang explained in detail, then took out a pen and paper and drew a clear pattern according to his memory.

The weaving of spider silk soft armor is not complicated. The key lies in the toughness of spider silk. It does not require too many magical restrictions. It only needs to avoid fire and absorb water. The thing spider silk fears most is fire.

Yu Shuyang had also thought it through. This matter could be completely handed over to Li Zhen. Although Li Zhen joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and changed to practice the way of immortals, it did not mean that he did not need the resources of the way of the God of Wealth.

After sending Zhu Gangbiao away, he drew a sample drawing and gave it to the two sisters Zhu Aihong and Zhu Ailing.

"You two should also try to perform the ritual and refine it, and see how much you can refine every month by exerting all your strength on the island. This soft armor is a long-term business, and you two must pay attention to it." Yu Shuyang gave a few more instructions.

Starting from the spider silk soft armor, Yu Shuyang thought of many humanitarian weapons in his previous life. Picking out a few of these things can serve as the foundation for the future water market.

The four major markets each have their own characteristics, and behind them are related to a large number of people, such as Haishi and the Shuizu people, Tianjie and the Weaver Girl embroiderers, and Shuishi and southern handicrafts.

Even though the Emperor of Dongyi has countless wisdom and plans, he cannot escape the constraints of economic rules and cannot create the fifth largest market town out of nothing.

Emperor Dongyi was unable to accomplish this task, but Yu Shuyang found a way, which was to take advantage of the upcoming human race's dragon war and become an arms dealer.

The two most important things for arms dealers are sophisticated weapons and sufficient food.

Let’s not talk about food and grass for now. With the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom’s spiritual grain that can be harvested three times a year, there is no need to worry at all. What’s more, the Taodu Mountain Islands have the yang energy of the earth and can be cultivated.

The most important thing is weapons. The Fuli world is a confluence of humanity and immortality, which has created immortal weapons and immortal martial arts. For this purpose, a lot of research has been done on matching weapons.

In addition to the silk armor, there is also a flame gun, which has a gun body cast with cold iron and a secret fire talisman on the tip of the gun. There is spiritual fire hidden inside. When it is activated against the enemy, the tip of the gun will release spiritual fire.

This kind of weapon is for warriors who have just felt the Qi. The most important thing in a humanitarian war is to gather people. If the soldiers at the bottom improve a little bit, they can change the world when they come together.

For example, a monster with ninth-grade cultivation can kill ten humans who have just sensed Qi, but if it faces fifty or a hundred people at the same time, it will be piled to death.

In the beginning, the people of the Fuli world used this method to wipe out all alien races, relying on the ant-covering technique to kill enemies in multiples.

In addition to spider silk soft armor and flame guns, there is also a powerful weapon - the pumpkin carriage. This weapon is made of incense and is specially prepared for ordinary immortal soldiers.

Ordinary immortal soldiers have not been trained and cannot gather into a formation. They cannot even concentrate their magic power into one, let alone cast spells in formation.

The pumpkin carriage is like a filter, which cleans up the magic power of ordinary immortal soldiers and returns it to the formation, guiding the immortal soldiers to form a formation and cast spells.

The core of the pumpkin carriage is the pumpkin, which also has another nickname called the golden pumpkin. The emperor has golden pumpkin warriors who are close to him and are responsible for the majesty of the ceremonial guard and security.

Initially, the research on the pumpkin carriage in the world of Fuli had two sources. One was the prayer myth, which used the power of incense and wishes to refine the artifact, and the other was the golden pumpkin ceremonial weapon.

The emperor was always accompanied by a grand procession, the most common of which were dragon and phoenix fans, red umbrellas, and golden melon hammers. The warriors holding golden melons were earlier known as the Jinwu Guards.

In his previous life, Yu Shuyang was a swordsman who wielded a sword. In his early days, he often dealt with immortal soldiers, including spider silk soft armor, flame guns, and pumpkin carriages.

The three humane weapons each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The spider silk soft armor is afraid of fire and requires water and fire rituals. Its advantage is that it is tough and light to wear.

The flame gun is made of ice iron, mainly to prevent it from getting burned. The spiritual fire in the tip of the gun is activated, and flames are sprayed along the fire talisman. After a long time, the gun barrel also becomes hot.

The pumpkin carriage is used for marching formations, and requires a person who is proficient in formations to coordinate in the center. The other immortal soldiers stand in formations according to the Qi sense, and still require a certain degree of coordination.

Yu Shuyang wrote down the methods of making the flame gun and the pumpkin carriage one by one. The flame gun was made by casting. As long as the mold was refined and the ice iron was found, the forging could begin.

The core of the Flame Gun isn't the gun itself, but the ability to seal the spiritual fire at the tip, and the subsequent burning that accelerates the spiritual fire into a precious flame. This, combined with the secret method of sealing the spiritual fire, is also a way to monopolize the Flame Gun's business. By comparison, crafting a pumpkin carriage is much more complex, requiring the creation of an iron hoop, infusing it with three magical imperfections: forbidden, tight, and golden, before finally placing the hoop over the pumpkin.

This golden melon grows with the help of incense and vows, and is imprisoned by an iron hoop. All the spiritual power of the Dharma is sealed in the golden melon. When the melon is ripe, a ball of golden fire will emerge from the golden melon.

By using the golden fire of the pumpkin to refine a chariot, one can melt the magic power of the immortal soldiers. The person operating the chariot can also use the induction of the golden fire on the weapons to command a group of immortal soldiers to form a formation and cast spells.

Yu Shuyang wrote down the refining method and prepared to hand it over to Candle Fire Spirit Wanjia and Zhixian Tuliu. This is the core of the future Huanghai Sea City, and he is not at ease handing it over to outsiders.

At this moment, two dragon roars were heard, and a silver-blue dragon and a golden-red dragon opened and closed in the air, causing the Four-Phase Tail Swinging Formation to become turbulent.

When Yu Shuyang saw this, he knew that his cousin had woken up. The delivery scissors had obtained the luck of two Yin Jiaos, and when they were used, they carried black and red evil spirits respectively.

The island protection formation is somewhat unable to withstand the pressure. The structure of the formation is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and most of the defenses are set on the outer layer of the formation.

Seeing that Li Zhen did not stop, Yu Shuyang was busy casting spells. He also had a magical power to refine a weapon - the Yin-Yang Virtual and Real Scissors.

Then a pair of black and white scissors rose into the air, circled around the golden and silver dragon, absorbed the breath of the Yin dragon, and cut through the air.

The two dragons struggled desperately, but could not resist the power of refining the virtual and the real. Their heads and tails came together to form a pair of scissors and fell from mid-air.

The Yin Jiao was transformed from the Nine Netherworld's Luck. It was originally invisible and had no flaws. However, Li Zhen refined the Yin Jiao into a pair of delivery scissors. The magic weapon was not as good as the Yin Jiao, and Yu Shuyang found the flaw and broke it with one cut.

Speaking of which, the Yin Jiao shears are extremely powerful. Once activated, they carry black and red evil spirits. The black evil spirit represents death energy, and the red evil spirit represents military energy. The two energies can directly kill a living person.
"Cousin, you almost damaged the essence of the divine weapon I just refined." Li Zhen held the Yin Jiao shears in his hands with pain and came out to complain to Yu Shuyang.

"You're being unreasonable, kid. Didn't you see the turmoil in the island protection formation? You almost pierced a hole in it, and I haven't come to you to settle the score yet.

Then again, I'm also trying to find loopholes for you, so that you won't be caught in the fight."

Yu Shuyang naturally refused to admit it and instead scolded his cousin Li Zhen, saying that the boy had been in seclusion for a long time and would cause trouble as soon as he came out.

Li Zhen was very good at reading people's expressions and noticed that there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his cousin's tone. He kept thinking about how he had offended his cousin.

"Cousin, don't be angry. I just comprehended the Black Demon God and the Red Demon God, and refined the birthing scissors into the Yin Jiao Scissors. I couldn't help it and wanted to test their power."

While apologizing, Li Zhen stared at Yu Shuyang and guessed, so as not to really annoy his cousin.

"I have a good thing for you right now, and you need to find a way to reconcile it." Yu Shuyang said, pointing to the ground.

"The East Sea Dragon Palace has appointed a Dragon Marquis to the Desolate Sea. This Dragon Marquis is a cultivator from the Goods Temple, and his master is the chief priest of the Goods Temple.

They came to the island and negotiated with me that I would help them build the Temple of Goods, and the benefit was that the Desolate Sea Market would be given to me.

You also know that I don't practice the way of the God of Wealth, so I'd better leave this matter to you. Firstly, you can communicate with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and mediate the issue of the maritime trade on Jinlu Island.

Secondly, I have Tōkaidōin matters to attend to, so I don't have much free time." Yu Shuyang explained patiently.

Li Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and his mind was also bewildered. He couldn't react for a while.

After a long while, he asked blankly, "Cousin, what's the intention of the chief temple priest? The Desolate Sea Market? It can't be run with just a temple dedicated to goods!"

Li Zhen really didn't understand. The Emperor of Dongyi used the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to set up a maritime trade on Jinlu Island, but it ended up being half-dead.

“You don’t have to worry about the Shui City. The trade route is similar to yours to Wuzhou. This time we are going to Menzhou for business.

Damiaozhu and the others have allied themselves with the Dongman people. They are able to refine salt, sugar and wax. The people in Menzhou are the Baiyi people. You should know what's going on, right?
I'll tell you the truth, this matter involves the scheme of the Emperor of Dongyi. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to mediate the maritime trade with Jinlu Island."

Yu Shuyang revealed his guess to Li Zhen. There were some things he couldn't say directly, for fear of being noticed by the will of heaven.

After hearing what his cousin said, Li Zhen couldn't help but think in his mind that salt and sugar have always had ten times the profit, and wax and oil are also indispensable.

If he follows this plan, he just needs to find another treasure ship. He has all the crew members and can set sail after loading the cargo.

“So, there’s a lot of potential in Huanghai Sea City. How about I invite my eighth brother-in-law over and ask him to help?

No, I can't do that. I can't do without my eighth brother-in-law's help on the Wuzhou trade route for a while, so it seems I have to make a few trips myself."

Li Zhen had all kinds of plans in his mind, but unfortunately, he really didn't have the manpower under his command, and the Golden Eared Rat Immortal was also borrowed from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Yu Shuyang snorted in annoyance and said, "You are getting lazier and lazier. I gave you such a large amount of food, but you are still being picky.

Don't be too happy too soon. The Dongman people's efforts are not in vain. The barbarian god Linjun and the temple keeper are on the island next to us."

As he spoke, Yu Shuyang pointed to Hongchi Island and continued, “That’s the black-nosed mole. She’s hooking up with the Dragon Marquis of the Desolate Sea.

The chief temple keeper gave the water market to us, and there will be troubles in the future. If we only rely on the salt, sugar and wax of the cave barbarians, we will be controlled by them sooner or later.

You don't have to worry. First of all, you have the Wuzhou trade route, and it is profitable to sell goods from the Huaihe River water market.

Secondly, with the support of Jinlu Island and Qingqiu Island, business like spiritual grain should not be a problem, and the business can be sustained no matter what.

I've also thought about it for you. I can help you refine weapons and armor, and I can also help you stay safe so you won't be crushed to death by them."

Li Zhen listened and thought at the same time. He had a lot of ideas. The Dongman people relied on Long Hou, so it should be no problem to purchase from the sea market.

The seafood on the Wuzhou trade route mainly comes from the Twelve Dragon Grandsons, who have cheated him a lot by taking advantage of the price difference. All this time, Li Zhen has dared to be angry but not to say anything.

The matter of the white turtle was caused by the calculations of the Dragon Palace and the instigation of the twelve dragon grandchildren. After all, there were so many merchants on the Golden Deer Island, so why would they only do business with him?

When Zhu Sanniang formed a caravan, the merchant ship belonged to the Mu family of Chaoju City, and most of the boatmen were from the Zhu family of the Sea Spider. The Twelve Dragon Grandsons only paid a sum of money.

At that time, Longsun Shuifu's idea was not to open up a trade route, but the entire Zhu family. Otherwise, they would not have only given Zhu Sanniang money and let her go to sell goods with an empty boat.
