Chapter 921 Rapid Development
Although Yu Xiantong and his four major families have never thought about controlling the army and cultivating their own forces, they have always wanted to become bigger and stronger, and to control more resources and connections in the army. Naturally, they would be more eager to reach out to the upper three heavens.
However, the lack of excellent weapon refiners and the inability to produce enough things that can impress the hearts of the officers and soldiers in the barracks have always been the biggest trouble for the four major material families. This problem has been their inalterable shortcoming for thousands of years, and it has also become an important reason why they can't make any further progress.
However, if this problem is put here with Huan Yin, it is not a problem at all. Because Huan Yin is now a super sword-making superpower, his weapon refining level is so high that even if you look at the entire three realms, I am afraid there are few real opponents. Therefore, in this mere Eastern Eight Heavens, there is no weapon refiner better than him.
As long as Huan Yin helps, it is easy for the four major families to improve their weapon refining level. Even if the weapon refining camp controlled by the four major families is the best in the entire Eastern Eight Heavens, it is just around the corner.
Therefore, Huan Yin finally decided on the next plan, which was to rely on his personal refining ability to provide assistance to the four major families, so that the refiners of the four major families could expand rapidly in the East Eight Days in the field of refining. Of course, the purpose of doing this now is not to achieve the original purpose of the four major families, but to complete what Huan Yin said before, to win over the hearts of the army as much as possible and cultivate power.
Yu Xiantong and the others naturally did not expect Huan Yin to be a super master of refining, so they never expected that the situation that had not been broken for thousands of years would be broken by Huan Yin now. Overjoyed, they immediately acted according to Huan Yin's arrangements.
On the one hand, Yu Xiantong and the other four began to actively run around in all directions of the East Eight Days. Now that they have the identities of the heads of the four major material families, it is much more convenient to move around, and many forces will also give them some face. In addition, they are rich, so it is not difficult to win over the hearts of the army and win over some necessary relationships. And wandering among various forces and the army as much as possible and winning people's hearts is also the most important task that Huan Yin has given them, and it is the most suitable task for them.
On the other hand, under the instruction of Yu Xiantong and the other four, the weapon refiners belonging to their faction began to secretly follow Huan Yin to learn weapon refining. The reason for doing this is to improve the overall weapon refining level of their own weapon refiners. After all, if you want to produce a large number of excellent magic weapons, even if Huan Yin has a high attainment in weapon refining, he can't produce it if he is the only one. Only through training and mass production of excellent talents can we truly produce a large number of magic weapons that are inexhaustible and enough to win the hearts of the entire Eastern Eight Heavens Army.
From this point of view, Huan Yin has actually been mentally prepared. He knows very well that in the heavens, power is sometimes more important than strength. Not only the army, once there is a lack of manpower in any aspect, if you can only work alone, you may be able to roam outside the Nine Heavens, but you will never be able to regain the throne. He needs manpower, a lot of manpower, not only soldiers who can fight, but also talents in all aspects, enough to fight for the next country and manage everything well.
With the guidance of Huanyin, a master who has reached the pinnacle of refining, the refiners of the four major families have improved their skills very quickly. Although Huanyin could not teach them everything, and Huanyin was only good at sword casting, after all, the gap between them and Huanyin in the realm of refining was too big. For them, the refiners who could forge a fifth-grade immortal sword were all masters among masters. Therefore, even if Huanyin just taught them some things that he thought were very superficial, they could benefit a lot and greatly improve their refining attainments.
Take casting a precious sword for example, this is not the field of refining that Huanyin is good at at all. For him, casting an eleventh-grade immortal sword may be possible, but casting a tenth-grade precious sword is even more difficult. However, if Huanyin is asked to cast a ninth-grade precious sword, it can be achieved. But for the refiners of the four major families, it is difficult to make a fifth-grade precious sword. Therefore, Huan Yin can still give these weapon refiners a lot of tips on casting precious swords. Naturally, this is even more so in the way of sword casting.
So, as the level of weapon refiners rapidly improved, the output and quality of the four major families' weapon refineries also increased rapidly. The four major families originally controlled the casting materials of the entire Eastern Eight Days, and had an absolute advantage in the cost of refining. Therefore, under the two echoes, the weapon refining camps of the four major families began to gradually show greater advantages than other weapon refining camps. The four major families can slowly achieve a lower price for the same level of magic weapons, and even directly send them out in large quantities in order to win people's hearts.
Of course, there are still some powerful weapon refining camps, and it is not realistic for the weapon refining camps of the four major families to catch up in a short time. However, it would be better if these weapon refining camps did not jump out and clamor. If they jumped out, Huan Yin would choose to bet directly with them and compete for weapon refining attainments. As for the bet, it is to let the losing party directly belong to the other party.
How could Huan Yin lose this kind of bet? Perhaps the only person who could really make Huan Yin lose was a master who had not appeared in the world for a long time. It would be strange if such a person could be found in the military refining camp. Therefore, those refining camps that were self-confident and capable did not bring any trouble to the four major families in the end, but instead became part of the four major families, allowing the refining forces of the four major families to develop faster in the military.
In this way, coupled with some refining camps directly attached to them, the development of the refining camps of the four major families was like a plague. If this momentum continues, before the military pays attention to it, it is not impossible for the four major families to directly control the refining camps of the entire lower four days, and even control the upper three days, and go deep into the Golden Palace Heaven.
With the existence of Huan Yin, the refining camps of the four major families can usher in explosive growth, which is what Huan Yin expected. And because they have obvious advantages in the upstream and downstream of the refining industry chain, it will soon make it easier for Yu Xiantong and others to win over and buy people's hearts.
After all, the rapid development of the weapon refining camp has made the four major families more wealthy. Moreover, their competitors have been suppressed one by one, and they have less resistance to what they want to do. Even in some military camps, there are only weapon refining camps of the four major families. In this way, if those military camps do not please the four major families, they will have no good magic weapons to use. Therefore, they have to please them, and they don’t need to buy them, but they are basically in Huanyin’s pocket.
Things went very smoothly, but Huanyin knew that what he did would one day attract the attention of the army and be controlled by the army. After all, the main masters of the army are only officers. If the soldiers obey their superiors on the surface, they have actually been bought by a private force, and the army is no longer called an army.
Therefore, Huanyin knew that he didn’t have much time. Either he would directly establish an irreversible advantage before the army noticed him, so that he could smoothly make further plans. Or he could not form a climate in time, and finally he could only be beaten back to his original form by the high-level military.
Under such pressure, Huanyin did not stop in the following time. On the one hand, he urged Yu Xiantong and others to develop, buy, and win over faster. On the other hand, he constantly cultivated the ability of the weapon refining camp, suppressed opponents, and expanded wildly. Just like that, two months passed in a flash.
Two months passed, and the new recruiting ceremony was officially approaching.
Huan Yin needed talents, and he knew that some new people who would make people shine would inevitably appear at this new recruiting ceremony. And the biggest advantage of new people is that they had no master before, and they were more likely to be cultivated. Therefore, Huan Yin had been eyeing this new recruit for a long time, and he had already made a lot of arrangements for this in secret.
Therefore, Yu Xiantong and others could not stop running, but Huan Yin had to stop temporarily and shift his focus to recruiting new people.
Huan Yin had won some excellent weapon refiners through gambling before, and there were even a few weapon refiners who were capable of casting seventh- and eighth-grade immortal swords. So, he temporarily handed over the task of teaching to this group of people, and he pulled himself out to prepare for the new recruits.
After leaving the four major families, Huan Yin was no longer the master behind the scenes who controlled everything, nor was he the master of refining weapons. His identity returned to that of a small sergeant.
This identity was Huan Yin's current public identity, and in the eyes of many people, he was not even as good as an ant. But this time when recruiting new members, he, the ant, could not hold back and was about to jump a few times.
