Earning money was a problem in every world. The Shang System was even more desolate and backward, it was originally already poor, if they wanted to earn money, they needed to leave and find somewhere else to start.
Tang Tian and the rest did not leave without careful considerations. They still needed time to get used to Sacred Saint Galaxy.
Everyday, Tang Tian and the rest would have a new discovery, there were too many foreign things in the new world.
The Sacred Saint Galaxy and Heavens Road were two completely different worlds. Although the Sacred Saint Galaxy did not have martial spirits, the place was rich with materials, far exceeding that of Heavens Road. The treasures in Heavens Road stemmed from a system, but the refinement of weapons in Sacred Saint Galaxy was so profound and long, so much that it was even longer than Heavens Road’s history.
The two completely different systems of the two worlds, greatly expanded the group’s thoughts and views.
Little Fool became the busiest person, he needed to experiment on the various different unfamiliar materials continuously, and then select out certain materials to be sent to Sai Lei for further analysis.
He was more interested in refining weapons in the Sacred Saint Galaxy. It was a pity that Xiao Yu’s knowledge barely scratched the surface on the contents of the foundations. To help Little Fool segregate the materials and create summaries, Xiao Yu had already become his assistant. In this aspect, Xiao Yu, showed an outstanding gift.
Throughout the days, Tang Tian and the others were busy through day and night, because of the black rocks on the barren land, Tang Tian and the rest had to build a foothold before heading out.
The Red Grass Village was truly too small, and it’s defensive capabilities were too weak.
Tang Tian and the rest decided to expand the Red Grass Village, and having no money, they had to do the work themselves.
Worried that people would know where they came from, the new Red Grass Village had a large scale decision, for everyone to use mechanical techniques. Bing realized that the mechanical techniques of Sacred Saint Galaxy were very advanced, and was suspicious that the Southern Cross Army’s mechanical techniques, might possibly have been brought over by the Commander from the Sacred Saint Galaxy.
Shi Yong was a great help, he found many stronghold blueprints, although they were ordinary blueprints, but to veteran Bing and mechanical grandmaster engineer Sai Lei, it was sufficient.
The two of them formulated extension plans from the blueprints.
For materials needed, it was the black rocks that the beach had an unlimited supply of. The Black rocks, regardless of their hardness, or resistance to energy, were extremely outstanding. The only problem was that it was difficult to assimilate the black rocks into one body.
Tang Tian had asked Xiao Yu before, but Xiao Yu did not know what the black rocks were called, he only knew it was difficult to smelt. However, his power was too weak, and knew very little, so he did not overthink it. In the entire Shang System, there were just a handful of people that could smelt weapons, it was truly a place where even birds did not even want to defecate. The Red Grass Villagers knew that the black rocks were hard, so they used them to build houses.
Xiao Yu was extremely curious on how to assimilate the black rocks to be one.
In the plans to extend the stronghold, the most important were the six straight humongous pillars with diameters of 15m, and roughly a length of 170m. According to Bing and Sai Lei’s requests, these six huge pillars required the black metals to be forged and moulded as one.
The tough and durable Red Reed Sword Grass were weaved into a cylindrical shaped, inside it stuffed full with black rocks. The length of the cylinder, exceeded 170m, the diameter was more than 15m.
Little Fool retrieved out a bucket of transparent liquid, it was an ingredient that the Blood Meridians Laboratory had specially brought over.
To Little Fool, smelting the black rocks was a matter of effort, much less to say the large rock pillar. Hence when Sai Lei and Bing mentioned the plan, Little Fool almost went crazy, being helpless, he stuffed his head into the records that senior Gui Wu had left behind to look for ideas.
To be able to refine out the Forceful Subjugating Bead showed Senior Gui Wu’s high standard of refining spirit treasures, and could be rated as an extremely high achievement. Senior Gui Wu was born a Blood Saint, so he knew much about the various unorthodox methods, and surely enough, Little Fool found a possible idea.
Many metals could withstand fire, but not the corrosion of blood meridians.
He sent Old Man Fei in the blood meridian laboratory a large wicker basket of black rocks, and leaf a sentence saying “post-haste”, Little Fool threw his hands up and could not care less.
Upon hearing the words “post-haste”, without saying anything, he gathered the elites of the Blood Meridians Laboratory to tackle the problem. Although Little Fool was an expert in refining spirit treasures, but his understanding of Blood Meridians was lacking compared to the blood meridians specialists. If he were to fumble about in the dark, it would require a long time, but with Senior Gui Wu’s elaboration, Old Man Fei and his team quickly found the suitable blood meridian.
Astin Water, was a type of weak poison, and was the product of Madam Mu’s research. It’s poisonous intensity was extremely weak, but was the liquid that had the most outstanding results in dissolving the black rocks.
Little Fool held a silver spray bottle, which had a very unique shape, both fish tails were wrapped around each other, the two fish mouths were the bottle mouth, each one stretched to each side.
Pisces Constellation, silver treasure, [Pisces Spray Bottle]!
After obtaining this strange treasure, Tang Tian never knew what it could be used for, could it be to used to bathe after fighting?
But after that, he learnt of what it was for, the Pisces Spray Bottle was a piece treasure used in a day to day life.
It was extremely good to control liquids, suitable for blood meridian specialists, it was suitable for the cooking profession, tea profession, gardening profession, for it to be used in battle, it was suitable for water elemental illusions martial artists.
But Little Fool was using it for refinement, with a strange and unorthodox liquid refining method, it was extremely suitable for the treasure.
Little Fool had a serious expression as he pushed down the bottle mouth of the Pisces Spray Bottle in his hands. Chi, the Astin Water started to vibrate and transform into a fine mist that permeated into the pillar made of Red Grass.
The power of the Pisces Spray Bottle was revealed. If Little Fool relied on himself to control the Astin Water, the mist formed would be very little, less to think about permeating in proportion, he did not dare to even think about it.
Now, it was beautifully perfected.
Xiao Yu looked at the Pisces Spraying Bottle in Little Fool’s hands with curiosity, the shining silver spray bottle was beautiful and powerful!
The black rocks dissolved at a speed observable with the naked eye, they started to assimilate together, and the Astin Water did not cause any harm to the Red Reed Sword Grass.
After 20 minutes, a massive black rock pillar was formed.
Tang Tian and the rest started to dismantle the Red Reed Sword Grass covering, the surface of the rock pillar was filled with a decorative design of the interweaving Red Grass.
Little Fool frowned, he felt that the Red Grass marks on the Black Rock Pillar were obstructing and ugly. But he knew that to use flames to forge such a black rock pillar, exceeded his capabilities.
Thick ropes were tied around the black rock pillar.
“Are you guys ready? The rest of you not helping, make way!”
Tang Tian directed from the sky, he pulled on one end of the thick rope, the other end was tied onto the black rock pillar. Around him, Bing controlled Sky Tiger, Jing Hao and Ling Xu, each pulled a rope.
The black rock was extremely dense and heavy, the weight of black rock pillar was imaginable, even Tang Tian who was so strong, was unable to shake the pillar by himself.
“Hey, all of you below, make way, watch out for your safety!”
“One, Two, Three!”
Tang Tian shouted in preparation, the thick and strong rope stretched taut, The Black Rock Pillar with a diameter of 15m and length of 170m gradually straightened up. The villagers around watched with curiously and were shocked to see the black rock pillar in front of their eyes suddenly appearing, although it was covered with vein patterns, when the humongous monster straightened in front of them, they were completely stunned.
“Okay, it’s straight! It’s straight!” Tang Tian shouted.
“So irritating, even a ghost will know it’s straight.” Ling Xu said with annoyance.
他们都是高手,、平衡之类的感觉,几乎如同本能。
They are all experts, with regards to fine control of strength, the level of precision and balance, it was basically instinct.
Tang Tian was not angry, he laughed, screaming at the top of his lungs: “Are you ready?”
A few people took out sledgehammers, with the bronze hammer in Bing’s Sky Tigers hands being the scariest. It was as tall as Sky Tiger, and gave off an icy cold feeling to whoever looked at it.
“Begin!”
Tang Tian bellowed, the few figures flashed like lightning, gathering all the energy they had, the few sledgehammers struck onto the top of the black rock pillar at the same time.
Bang!
A loud bang that hurt the villager’s ears sounded out, and the black rock pillar sunk downwards.
Bang Bang Bang!
The black rock pillar sunk little by a little, like a nail being struck into the ground non-stop. The shocking scene, made the villagers watch with their eyes and mouths wide opened.
黑石柱下沉十丈,,每个人都是汗流浃背,这样的体力活,绝对不是一般的圣者能干得来的。
The black rock pillar sunk in roughly 30m before stopping. Everyone was drenched in sweat, it was extremely laborious, and was absolutely not something an average saint could do.
The six black rock pillars formed a complete hexagon, Tang Tian and the rest sat on the floor in exhaustion. Everyone was so drenched they looked as though they were pulled out of water.
The villagers organized by Crane started working, many bunches of Red Reed Sword Grass that were tied together were distributed and weaved around the black rock pillars. A two layered fence-like web, now surrounded the entire village.
Another group of villagers started to pour black rocks into the cavity between the grass webs, the black rocks continued to pile, to a height of 120m before stopping. The ground was also spread with a thick layer of black rocks.
Little Fool started to spray the Astin Water, the ground and the black rocks in the grass web quickly melted and formed into one full body. After that, the top of the six black rock pillars also had the grass webs weaving with a set pattern. At the top of every black rock pillar were spires that erected upwards, resembling six sharp swords that pointed straight to the sky.
*******************************
“Up ahead is the Red Grass Village, Master Meng Nan is staying there temporarily.” Wang Zhun Xian introduced respectfully.
Beside him, was a man with a gloomy and cold expression, his entire body was donned with armour, his long and narrow eyes flickered with a cold light. The bodyguards he was travelling with, were all surging in true power, their aura was imposing.
“I want to see where is he from!” Shi Sen said coldly, he took a glance at Wang Zhun Xian: “At that time, if Commander Wang tries to find other excuses, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Zhun Xian does not dare!” Wang Zhun Xian was bitter in his heart, the man in front of him came from a huge background, he did not dare to reject, thinking about the Savager called Meng Nan, he wanted to use him as a shield.
Shi Sen did not look at Wang Zhun Xian, he said: “Commander Wang cannot be blamed too, The Blue Tide this time, has destroyed over 200 li of the pontoon bridge in the Sea of Light. As long as pontoon bridge is not fixed, the loss would be shocking, that is why Master had ordered to recruit villagers. I am currently carrying the shortfall of 200,000 people, Commander Wang, you better not make things difficult for me.”
“Yes yes yes.” Wang Zhun Xian nodded his head.
Shi Sen laughed: “the Shang System is so poor, Commander Wang, you have been suffering for the last few years. If the pontoon bridge can be fixed ahead of time, that would be a huge service, and I will definitely report back to Master, to request for some recognition for Commander Wang. My Vast Star System, in the entire Southern Region, has the top trading town with its strategic location. About how flourishing it is, at that time, Commander Wang, you will experience it for yourself, Haha.”
Wang Zhun Xian sighed in his heart, his face helplessly revealed a smile: “Thank you Mr Shi for supporting me!”
From history, the pontoon bridge in the Sea of Light was always built upon people’s lives. Every time it was built, only one out of ten of the conscripted villagers would survive. Even so, they did not conscript the villagers from Vast Star System, but ran over to the Shang System. Obviously they did not care about the lives of the people in the Shang System.
Wang Zhun Xian was born locally, everyone was his fellow friends and family, how could he bear to send them to their deaths.
But if he rejected…… the Shang System would definitely have a river of blood.
The bitterness in Wang Zhun Xian’s mouth became more bitter, he looked at Shi Yong, his hopes were now pinned on that Young Master Meng Nan.
Suddenly, Shi Sen’s footsteps beside him became sluggish, his breathing became quick and chaotic.
Wang Zhun Xian immediately regained his senses, he quickly raised his head, when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his pupils involuntarily expanded.
