Chapter 1982 Waste Utilization

After resting for half a month, Qu Jianlei did divination for Tianyin again, and concluded that it would be a good time to start retreat now.

Considering that the invasion of the demons would become more and more powerful, he took out the Black Horse Tower and asked Tianyin, Bentley and Muyu to practice.

The team's several Black Horse Towers have been damaged by more than half, and Qu Jianlei retreated again to build new Black Horse Towers.

After another half a month, new news came that demons appeared on the territory of the Seven Stars Gate.

This time there were two small groups of demons, both led by Jindan-level demons.

The vigilance of the Seven Stars Gate was not low, but the disguise of the demons was too strong, causing a lot of chaos before they reacted.

The two groups of demons were successively wiped out, but the impact they brought was not so easy to eliminate.

The next day after the news came, Ji Xiaohua came again and asked Hongyeling to buy "the kind of beam weapon used on warships".

Lasers are not particularly useful against demons, but the characteristics of wave-particle duality make it not a simple physical attack.

For cultivators, it is difficult to effectively kill the demons except for thunder, light and soul attacks.

Last time when exploring the void, Ji Xiaohua noticed this attack method of Hongyeling.

He knew that this was not a method driven by spiritual energy, and the attack effect was not as good as the tree clan, not to mention the broken knife.

But there is no doubt that it is still an effective attack method.

If used properly, it can even severely damage the Yuanying-level demons-but if you want to destroy them, you really need great luck.

Previously, Hongyeling kept silent about this weapon and refused all attempts, so he didn't mention it actively.

But this time, two demons appeared in the Seven Stars Gate. The Ji family had a deep understanding of what happened before and after, and they were very frightened.

Most people knew that the intensity of the demon invasion was increasing. As the head of the family, Ji Xiaohua was under great pressure.

He was not sure when he would face a full-scale invasion of the demons, but he thought that he could not wait any longer.

So this time, even if it would make Hongyeling angry, he didn't care.

After hearing his request, Qu Jianlei sat there and pondered, feeling a little strange.

When he was in the empire before, it was very easy for him to get energy blocks, but it was a dream to trade for spirit stones.

Almost all the spirit stones of the team were obtained through abnormal channels.

Now, someone wants to use spirit stones to buy energy blocks, and they are afraid that he will not sell them.

But... is it appropriate to sell laser weapons? "Friend Ji, this matter is serious, I need to discuss it with everyone."

Ji Xiaohua nodded to show his understanding, "It should be."

However, other people in the team said that the boss should make the decision on such matters, "If you really can't make up your mind, you can use divination."

Qu Jianlei was not bored enough to use divination for such a small matter, and he made a decision quickly.

"Don't even mention selling it. I can give you ten pieces. Don't tell anyone. Also, there are two big problems with it..."

The first problem is of course the energy block. This world doesn't have energy blocks, and it is relatively repulsive to this substance.

Just like in the empire, not to mention there are no spirit stone mines, spirit stones can't be stored in the ordinary way.

Qu Jianlei gave one million energy blocks as a gift. After all, it was a true immortal asking for money, and it wouldn't look good to give too little.

While emphasizing the need for careful preservation, he pointed out another problem with laser weapons - it can even be said to be a disadvantage.

That is, anyone without any cultivation can use laser guns and laser cannons.

This is an advantage when dealing with the demons, but it is a hidden danger for foundation building or golden elixir cultivators.

However, Ji Xiaohua didn't care about the hidden dangers he mentioned at all, saying that as long as they could be strictly controlled, it would be fine.

As long as they can effectively defend and attack the demons, other minor problems can be put aside.

Seriously, he wanted to find out something, "How many energy blocks did you consume in the last battle with the demons?"

Qu Jianlei asked Xiaohu, and then said that the main forces in the battle were Feng Wangxi and Duan Dao, and the energy blocks consumed were not large.

Not counting the cost of navigation, if only the laser attack is counted, it is about more than 5 million blocks.

However, the demons they faced at that time were quite large, so the energy blocks sent out this time were not few.

After Ji Xiaohua confirmed this, he asked if the Ji family wanted to purchase energy blocks again, what would the price be?

Hongyeling has already given so much away, he can't be thick-skinned and ask for more for free.

Qu Jianlei sighed again in his heart, it's really a matter of time, and then gave an answer, "One spirit stone buys ten."

When the team set out from the empire, they carried more than 500 trillion energy blocks, and there are nearly 400 trillion in stock now.

Qu Jianlei has always had a strong sense of crisis, and doesn't think this inventory is very abundant.

After the team has established itself, they will return to the empire, and they may face many battles in the future.

But even so, even if one-tenth of the inventory is consumed, the exchange rate is ten to one, which is still four trillion spirit stones...

He really didn't expect that the materials originally intended for personal use could be exchanged for spirit stones.

Ji Xiaohua heard this and said very straightforwardly, "As for ordinary spirit stones, I brought 400,000 and exchanged them all!"

He knew that the weapons he purchased were ordinary weapons, but this thing could effectively kill the demons, so he also brought medium and high spirit stones.

Since he had it, he had to spend it. He didn't even test the weapon before deciding on it.

After the transaction was completed, he took his entourage to Yinling to test the weapon, and on the way back he went to Hongyeling again.

Ji Xiaohua said that he was quite satisfied with the power of this weapon, but... could he really not make it public at all?

From the perspective of the clan leader, he hoped to give the clan members a moderate hint, at least to stabilize people's hearts.

From the perspective of Dongsheng cultivators, he didn't want everyone else to be demonized, leaving only Hongyeling and the Ji family struggling.

"Tsk," Qu Jianlei sighed helplessly. He was actually quite entangled with this issue.

The Ji family hoped that Dongsheng could have enough strength to protect itself, and so did he.

But if this thing was sold too much, it would not only easily arouse suspicion from others, but the key was that it might disrupt the entire social order.

After a long silence, he sighed and smiled bitterly, "When I sold the energy block to you, I estimated that I couldn't go back..."

"But this thing came from another world, and I don't have much in reserve. The key is that I don't know how many spirit stones to sell it for."

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"That's easy," Ji Xiaohua said very straightforwardly, "I'll help you set the price, anyway, they want to trade with you."

He finally understood why Lord Qu Ling gave him the weapon for free.

The items in the other world will be affected by the subjective cognition of the experiencer, and it is indeed not easy to set the price.

But for Ji Xiaohua, there is no obstacle to setting the price, just according to his own feelings.

Anyway, the purchaser will purchase directly from Hongyeling, and he has helped subjectively.

And Ji Xiaohua also said that he would not deliberately publicize it, and other forces must fully and actively inquire before he will tell the details.

However, the head of the Ji family still underestimated the attention of the cultivators to Hongyeling.

After Ji Xiaohua returned, he announced to his clansmen that he had obtained a special magic weapon to deal with the demons. The next day, He Jiuling came to visit.

This was not because there was a traitor in the Ji family, but because Jiuling Zhenxian wanted to find out something.

"Daoyou Xiaohua, you came out of Hongye Ridge and went to Yinling. I wonder why?"

The two had been in the same void exploration team, so it was not a big deal to ask about this.

The ten weapons Ji Xiaohua got were five laser guns, two long and three short, two laser sniper rifles and two laser cannons.

In addition, there was a ship-borne laser cannon, which could at least severely damage the Jindan demon with one shot - provided that it could be aimed.

Two days later, He Jiuling came to Hongye Ridge to visit, "Daoyou Qu, you can't be partial to one over the other."

He spent more than 10,000 middle spirits and 500,000 ordinary spirit stones, and took away weapons with the same configuration as Ji Xiaohua.

A few days later, Li Yuren from Cuiping Mountain also came over, spending a total of more than 20,000 middle spirit stones and one million ordinary spirit stones.

After all, he is in the 12th Great Sect, so his confidence is different.

Qu Jianlei was also a little speechless. The weapons he sold were all his own junk.

Not to mention those individual weapons, even the ship-borne laser cannons were dismantled from the broken warships.

From the Empire to the Federation to the Alliance and then to the Cangwu Realm, how many warships did the team destroy?

It was really a waste recycling, but it was enough for them to buy another piece of land in Liuguang City - it must be more than one square kilometer.

Otherwise, it is said that the arms business is really profitable.

But Li Yuren did not feel cheated at all. After the purchase, he even asked about the magic weapon for detecting the demon.

He knew that Hongye Ridge had the means to identify the demon, and he knew that he could not ask about the details, otherwise it would be an offense.

But he strongly requested that Hongye Ridge develop a magic weapon as soon as possible - ordinary products would be fine, as long as it could assist in detecting the demon energy.

Just like the mundane weapons they purchased, they don't ask for perfect safety, but they can help a little.

Qu Jianlei frowned and replied, "The team is currently developing similar products, but... there is a lack of reference objects."

He is indeed considering this problem, and has come up with a corresponding plan.

The plan is a bit like the identification card he made before, but it also absorbs the principle of the detector and is an active detection type.

There are two problems now. One of them is that active detection requires power, but the existing power system consumes energy blocks.

It takes a little time to change the power system to spirit stones, but it is not very difficult, just test it a few more times.

In other words, it may not be that difficult for him to change the power of the laser weapon to spirit stones.

He is currently solving this problem, but he has not yet decided which power to use in the future.

Qu Jianlei's tendency is to walk on two legs, first make it, and then make a choice, or simply use both sets.

But the biggest problem in detecting the demonic energy is... there must be some samples for reference, right?
