Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 651 Golden Shield Flying Sword and Foundation Establishment Pill
At this moment, a long spear wreathed in flames, two golden halos, and a silk ribbon wrapped around the spear and halos floated out from the static force field.

At first glance, everyone immediately understood what it was.

"The Fire-Tipped Spear, the Universe Ring, and the Heaven-Shattering Ribbon—Nezha's magical weapons," Chu Xuan said.

Everyone looked at Zhao Yingkong.

Although Zhao Yingkong was very tempted, she still hesitated and said, "But I'm already struggling to wield the Golden Cudgel, let alone three more..."

“The Qi Source Flow nurtures the Qi Infant. Once you enter the Nascent Soul stage, you can transform all things into Qi,” Chu Xuan stated bluntly.

"Your energy deficit problem no longer exists."

"Of course, it is not easy to control so many magical treasures and artifacts."

"Fortunately, these three immortal artifacts are not innate spiritual treasures, and their quality is slightly inferior to your golden cudgel, so the consumption is correspondingly reduced."

"Yingkong, you are very strong." Zhuang Boshi gave Zhao Yingkong a thumbs up.

In this fourth-tier realm, Zhao Yingkong's strength is absolutely exceptional; even against Godzilla, she could withstand the attack head-on.

Among fourth-tier fighters like Cheng Xiao, Zhao Yingkong could take on three by herself.

"Understood." Zhao Yingkong was silent for a moment, then nodded, and her three-headed, six-armed body immediately appeared.

Daisakura gripped the Fire-Tipped Spear, and a three-foot-long red lotus instantly ignited at the tip. The shaft shimmered with cloud-like patterns of light, yet it didn't feel heavy in her hand; instead, it made her fingertips appear even whiter.

The tip of the gun swayed slightly, and the flames seemed to flicker like a living thing, warming the surrounding air.

Zhao Ruikong gently swung the Hun Tian Ling (a type of silk ribbon) around her fingertips, and the crimson ribbon wrapped around her wrist like a serpent.

"Fun, fun!" She flicked the ribbon with her fingertips, and the ribbon unfurled to a length of about ten feet, drawing a circle in the air.

The last two Qiankun Rings spun faster and faster in the air, transforming into a pair of palm-sized fire wheels.

Zhao Yingkong lightly touched the ground with her toes, and the fire wheel steadily supported her feet.

With each rotation of the fiery wheel, a layer of pale golden ripples appeared on the ground, lifting her into the air. When she stopped three feet off the ground, the blue flames flickered beneath her feet.

With the three magical treasures around her, Zhao Yingkong's appearance became even more dazzling.

Her bright eyes and white teeth shone even brighter in the flames, and the coldness between her brows seemed to be covered by a thin layer of ice, but it was brought to life by the warm flames of the Fire-Tipped Spear, the red shadow of the Hun Tian Ling, and the blue of the Fire Wheel. She was surrounded by a faint fairy light, giving her the feeling of a heavenly deity who had stepped out of an ancient book.

A blend of heroic spirit and aloofness makes one hesitant to look directly at him, yet unable to look away.

With its three heads and six arms, it was as if the great god of the Three Seas Altar had personally descended!
"Wow—" Exclamations of surprise rang out from all directions.

Zhan Lan's eyes lit up: "Ying Kong, you're sooooo cool—"

Zhao Yingkong blushed and quickly landed.

"I feel like I've suddenly used up a lot of my true essence and qi."

“Cultivation is the right path.” Zhuang Boshi recalled that he initially wanted to train Ying Kong to be like Sun Wukong, with a copper head and iron arms, fiery eyes and golden pupils, and ever-changing abilities. Now, how did he become the Third Prince Nezha?

However, with the Golden Cudgel in one hand and the Fire-Tipped Spear in the other, Zhao Yingkong is destined to inherit two of the three great traitors of the Heavenly Court.

Hongjun's treasure distribution continues, and Zhang Jie obtained the Vajra Bracelet, which, combined with his telekinetic abilities, is a formidable weapon. Ordinary protective gear is no different from paper when struck by this bracelet.

Zhuang Boshi obtained a three-pointed, double-edged sword. Although he didn't know if it was Yang Jian's genuine weapon, it was closer to Erlang Shen's and no less than an S-class divine weapon.

As for those below the fourth rank, without the basic ability to perceive subtlety, they have no way to control these immortal artifacts. Wang Xia and Saito could only watch with envy.

However, Zhuang Boshi looked at the enormous alchemy furnace, which was as tall as a person.

"This is the Eight Trigrams Alchemy Furnace, said to have originated from Laozi, one of the Three Pure Ones, and possesses the ability to collect living souls and refine elixirs," Chu Xuan said slowly.

"How do you hit someone with this thing?" Zhuang Boshi asked, puzzled.

Chu Xuan sneered, "Do you still want to be like those brutes and smash people with a pill furnace?"

“Cultivators are scientists. Even Zheng Zha’s axe has more than 300,000 runes engraved on it. Its greatest use is for judgment, not for chopping people.”

Zheng Zha was taken aback: "Are you saying I'm a brute?"

"But can this axe also be used to judge others?"

Chu Xuan turned his head and looked at Zhuang Boshi, saying, "And you, as one of the most orthodox cultivators, are you not ambitious and only want to fight people in close combat with swords, spears, and clubs?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Boshi felt somewhat ashamed.

As a proper cultivator who studies rune technology, why do you always think about engaging in close combat and stabbing people in the back?
Why is it that constructing rune arrays and using magical artifacts is your primary job?

"Moreover, as a miniature experimental compounding device, this place can also be used for alchemy." Chu Xuan pointed to the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"For example -"

"Foundation Pill."

"That's a B-rank side quest!"

Zheng Zha also became interested, but now that the entire Zhongzhou team has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they don't need Foundation Establishment Pills, but the value of Foundation Establishment Pills cannot be denied.

Chu Xuan continued, "Of course there are even higher-grade pills, such as the Great and Small Rejuvenation Pills, which can restore a person's injuries, even limb tears. As long as there is a breath left, even if the head is gone, it can be restored."

"That's good, it's like having a second life," Zhuang Boshi nodded.

"There's also the Yi Jin Xi Sui Dan (Muscle/Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing Pill), which can greatly improve a person's physical fitness and enhance their overall aptitude," Chu Xuan continued.

"The pills I've listed are all those that you can refine at your current cultivation level," Chu Xuan said, looking directly at him.

"Moreover, you possess the Samadhi True Fire, the best flame for alchemy."

Chu Xuan's eager gaze put Zhuang Boshi under immense pressure.

I'll try my best.

The cultivation pills are with the main god; this is the starting point for a C-level side quest.

Pills like the Greater and Lesser Rejuvenation Pills, which can restore life-threatening injuries, require a B-level side quest.

Keep in mind that resurrecting the cross only requires two B-rank side quests, which means the elixir is ridiculously expensive.

However, the rare and precious materials on the main god's side are quite cheap.

If they could refine a large number of pills, it would indeed be a huge boost for the Zhongzhou team.

"Our team's advantage lies in the accumulation of knowledge and logistical support," Chu Xuan said, looking at everyone.

"Don't mistake us for those magical squads that only know how to fight, don't understand logistics, and have no protection, just surrounding the strong."

"In that kind of squad, everyone else is just an appendage and can't play any role at all."

"We are a team built using modern mechanisms."

“Everyone is both a warrior and a producer.”

"To win the final battle, you need to be ahead in every aspect."

"I understand." Zhuang Boshi took a deep breath.

Chu Xuan said with satisfaction, "Very good. I have sent the relevant plan for alchemy to your personal terminal. You need to list the most basic Qi Gathering Pill refining plan within five working days."

"Five days?" Zhuang Boshi was taken aback.

"I have no foundation. You want me to refine pills in five days? That's too rushed."

"You're at the Integration Stage now. Isn't five days enough to refine some Foundation Establishment Stage pills?" Chu Xuan frowned.

Zhuang Boshi looked at the huge Bagua furnace with a bitter face.

"Alright, alright."

"I'll give it a try."
-
boom!
Zhuang Boshi touched his face and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Dry!!"

As it turns out, it is indeed extraordinary for an ordinary person to learn alchemy without a teacher.

His talent wasn't in alchemy either; he either exploded or failed.

After refining pills for two days, I only managed to produce one batch of Qi Gathering Pills, and the quality wasn't even good.

I ate one, but it didn't seem to help me recover as quickly as he did on his own.

Chu Xuan looked at him with a cold expression.

"Don't look at me!" Zhuang Boshi said, covering his face. "Alchemy is not that easy. I clearly followed the procedure written in the literature!"

"I just can't seem to refine it!"

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses: "In that case, let's go take a look at Saito Hajime's latest equipment."

Zhuang Boshi was somewhat embarrassed: "Didn't you just assign the task?"

"We'll see results soon."

"Isn't this the most basic thing for the Zhongzhou team?" Chu Xuan said coldly.

"Are you targeting me?" Zhuang Boshi sighed.

They are even more demanding than the most exploitative capitalists.

However, Saito's efficiency was indeed very high with Chu Xuan's help.

Saito Hajime said excitedly, "Chu Xuan, the runes you gave me were indeed correct. After I loaded the runes, the defense of Golden Shield No. 3 increased by 300%!"

"And most importantly, guess what?"

"So?" Zheng Zha asked cooperatively.

“It can be connected in parallel,” Saito said mysteriously.

What is parallel connection?

Saito excitedly placed the two Gold Shield No. 3s on a dummy.

"Look, this is a basic Gold Shield No. 3."

"The Golden Shield No. 3 can withstand a thousand rounds of explosive ammunition before it's destroyed. Keep in mind, this is the Zhongzhou explosive ammunition gun that we've modified."

Saito linked the two Gold Shield No. 3s together and placed them on the dummy to continue firing, this time withstanding a full two thousand rounds.

"This!" Zheng Zha's eyes widened.

“That’s right, defense can be improved through parallel processing.” Saito Hajime was exhausted, but his eyes still shone.

"In other words, as long as we are equipped with enough Golden Shield No. 3, our defense will be increased by dozens of times."

"The key point is that it can complement other protective gear without conflicting with it."

"Recharging is also very convenient!"

"Internal energy, blood energy, qi, and true essence are all welcome; they can even be placed under the sun!"

"Great, Lao Qi!" Zheng Zha excitedly patted Saito on the shoulder.

"Each of you carry a hundred Gold Shield No. 3s. Let's see who can break through our defenses!"

"But now, due to material issues, production might be a bit problematic." Saito Hajime calculated, then scratched the back of his head somewhat sheepishly.

"Don't worry about the materials, I'll prepare them all for you," Chu Xuan said calmly. He gave Saito a look of appreciation, and then glared at Zhuang Boshi.

Zhuang Boshi could only look up at the sky.

Alchemy is something that really depends on talent.

Why don't we go back to another world and practice properly?

Saito quickly took out two wheels: "These are the second Wind and Fire Wheels."

"Speed ​​and range have both increased by 450% compared to before, and it is also capable of spaceflight."

People had lost much interest in the Wind and Fire Wheels, as all eyes were now focused on the ancient sword floating in mid-air.

Saito's lips curled slightly: "This is Flying Sword Number One."

"The results of Project Flying Sword!"

Zheng Zha was overjoyed.

"Flying sword! The flying sword I've been waiting for so long has finally appeared. Haha!" He laughed wildly.

"I can finally ride my sword! The image of a white-robed immortal has finally returned!"

Zhuang Boshi interrupted, "Zheng Zha, don't forget, when you transform, you become a golden dragon man over five meters tall."

"Isn't it a bit strange that you're standing on a flying sword that's over two meters long?"

Zheng Zha's laughter stopped abruptly, and he said dejectedly, "I can't stop him from becoming such a big dragon."

"It's all your fault for insisting that I strengthen my Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. Now look what's happened! The deeper my skill, the more golden my color becomes. I look like a giant light bulb wherever I go. What can I do?"

Ignoring Zheng Zha's lament, Zhuang Boshi asked, "How fast is this flying sword?"

“Beyond the third cosmic velocity, which means we can ride a flying sword straight into space,” Saito Hajime said with a grin.

"This is a real flying sword!"

Saito took the flying sword, and Zhuang Boshi discovered that it was covered with a series of Golden Shield No. 3 marks.

Saito explained, "This is to enhance protection. Even Zhu Wen can ride the flying sword to travel in space without fear of cold or radiation."

"Not bad. The Zhongzhou team will soon have large flying vehicles, plus a wide variety of personal vehicles, forming a very complete mobility system," Chu Xuan said with satisfaction.

"They can fight, they can withstand attacks, and they can run away. The Central Continent Team crushes more than 90% of the enemies. Even though the Demon Team and the Celestial Team have individual flying equipment, they are not as versatile and mobile as the Central Continent Team."

"In the next world, we will not be afraid of even space wars."

Saito Hajime optimistically said, "According to the movie, Ironblood's technology level is not as good as ours."

"Their strongest individual equipment is the plasma cannon; the rest are all cold weapons made of special alloys."

"

"My Golden Shield III is strong enough to defend against the Ironblood's continuous plasma cannons, as well as the alien evolutions and acidic corrosive blood."

"Unless we are directly hit by the main guns of the Ironblood warship, we can stand still and let them hit us without breaking our defenses."

"Sigh, if we had had equipment like that back then, Li Xiaoyi wouldn't have died." Zheng Zha recalled that sullen boy.

"Don't forget the road you came from." Zhuang Boshi patted Zheng Zha on the shoulder.

The group also saw Chu Xuan's creations: the third-generation quantum communication device, capable of real-time communication within the universe, a short-distance jump device, a second-generation magic cannon, electromagnetic weapons, and so on.

At the very end, a device resembling an old-fashioned telephone appeared before us.

"What is this?" Zhuang Boshi asked in surprise.

Chu Xuan said, "Inter-God communication transmission device."

"Huh?!!" Everyone was startled.

Chu Xuan explained, "I have now made it possible to transmit data across worlds to various reincarnation teams by using the Law of Causality and the addition of rune spells, with the Creation Jade Disc as the core."

"What does this mean?" Zheng Zha circled the old-fashioned telephone, examining it closely.

"It means we can now write to other teams," Zhuang Boshi added.

"But I can't make phone calls."

“Great stuff!” Zhuang Boshi said, “With this method of communication, I can make sure that Nils and Gunnir are on our side.”

"Of course, it could also be a long-standing rival," Chu Xuan said meaningfully.

Zheng Zha was both tempted and hesitant: "Should I say something to the clone Zheng Zha?"

"Think about it carefully," Chu Xuan said.

“I think it’s time to show our presence to all the squads,” Zhuang Boshi said after a moment’s thought.

Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan were both somewhat surprised.

"why?"

Zhuang Boshi smiled and said, "Let them know how terrifying we are."

"Do not attempt to retaliate."

"The Zhongzhou team is the strongest!"
