the next day.

Changping Institute of Magical Instruments.

Under the guidance of Chen Daochu, Chen Daoxuan visited the Institute of Magical Instruments, which had changed drastically.

compared to a few months ago.

The Chen Family's Magical Instrument Research Institute has added a lot of new staff.

Entering the Institute of Magical Instruments, Chen Daoxuan saw many new faces. He knew that these were the seedlings of the artifact refiners selected from Changping Xiuxian Primary School.

Looking at the buildings, the crowd kept moving, Chen Daoxuan nodded, turned to Chen Daochu beside him, and said, "It's finally a bit of a look."

"Hey-hey,"

Chen Daochu said with a naive smile, "After struggling for so long, if it doesn't work at all, wouldn't it disappoint you, Young Patriarch?"

"okay,"

Chen Daoxuan pointed at the cultivators of the blessing generation who came and went, and said with a smile, "Whether it is effective or not, it is not based on these superficial skills."

"I know,"

Chen Daochu nodded, "Young patriarch, please come here!"

Saying that, he made a please gesture.

heard.

Chen Daoxuan nodded, and together with Chen Daochu, walked towards the largest instrument laboratory in the research institute.

As the two entered the spacious laboratory.

Chen Daoxuan found that puppet beasts of various ranks were placed everywhere in this laboratory.

From the lowest first-order low-end to the highest third-order low-end, everything.

"Good guy,"

Chen Daoxuan stared blankly at the third-order low-grade puppet beast that had been dismantled from the laboratory in front of him, and murmured, "The third-order low-grade puppet, how did your Magical Instrument Research Institute get it?"

"Of course I bought it!"

Chen Daochu said as a matter of course, "How can you do research without spending money? If you want to thoroughly understand the working principle of the Spirit Control Array, dismantling the puppet is a must!"

Hear this.

Chen Daoxuan's mouth twitched and nodded, "You are right! I hope your research results are worthy of the family's investment."

Who knows, Chen Daochu said with confidence: "Young patriarch, if you have provided the inheritance of the puppet technique and dismantled so many puppets, we still can't figure out the working principle of the spirit control array, then our magic weapon research institute is too Incompetent!"

"Okay, don't blow it, let me see your research results!"

"Okay."

Chen Daochu nodded, and then waved to a monk of the blessing generation beside him.

Immediately after.

A strange-looking instrument was brought over.

Chen Daochu pointed to the magic weapon in front of him and said, "Young Patriarch, please take a look."

heard.

Chen Daoxuan looked at the strange magic weapon in front of him and asked, "Is this the result of your research during this period?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Daochu said excitedly, "Don't underestimate this thing, do you know that puppet beasts can release spells?"

Chen Daoxuan nodded.

"Then do you know why puppet beasts can release spells?"

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan frowned.

Although he exchanged his military exploits from Qianyuan Jianzong to the inheritance of first- and second-order puppet arts, he has not studied puppet arts.

Therefore, I don't know why the puppet beast can release spells at will.

Normally.

Only monks have this ability, and can cast spells at will.

Although the spells released by the puppet beasts are flawed, they can only be predicted in advance, and they cannot be controlled by the consciousness after they are released, like the spells released by the monks.

But on a massive battlefield.

Cannon fodder like puppet beasts is still very useful.

In addition to being cannon fodder, it can also suppress the enemy's firepower.

On the battlefield of Izumo, the puppet beasts purchased by the Xuanqing Dao League from the Qianji Temple caused many hardships to the Wan Xinghai monk.

Although one-on-one.

The cultivator is not afraid of the puppet beast, but once this thing scales and forms a firepower coverage, no matter how flexible the cultivator is, there is no other way but to resist the damage.

Can't everyone be able to teleport on the battlefield at will like the master of Zhenhai Palace?

If the Wan Xinghai cultivator had this ability, he would have ruled the human race long ago.

Finally, seeing the puzzlement on Chen Daoxuan's face, Chen Daochu seemed to be greatly encouraged, and he said excitedly: "It's because of the spirit control formation!"

He paused, "Although the spirit control formation is called a formation, it is actually a special container for storing spell patterns, young patriarch, please take a look!"

I saw Chen Daochu brought the head of a leopard-shaped puppet beast.

"Thousand Machines Hall is inscribed with the first-order spell wind blade technique, and it is sealed in the spirit control formation. When the puppet beast gets the master's order, or the attack order is preset in advance, it will attack automatically. Attack the enemy!"

Chen Daochu opened the mouth of the leopard-shaped puppet beast, "Young patriarch, look, after the Spirit Control Array method re-engraves the sealed spell pattern, then spit it out through the leopard's mouth."

With Chen Daochu injecting real energy into the mouth of the leopard-shaped puppet beast.

In its open mouth, a mass of wind blades is slowly taking shape.

Chen Daoxuan saw it more clearly. He found that when Chen Daochu injected the real essence, there was a magic dao pattern in the mouth of the puppet beast.

"This is what you call a replica!"

"right!"

Chen Daochu, who had thoroughly researched it, nodded in admiration, "I have to say, this Thousand Machines Palace is really too thoughtful.

Spirit Control Array! Magic Dao Pattern Re-engraving!

These things that I have never heard of in Wan Xinghai, they can actually do it. "

"It's very imaginative."

Chen Daoxuan sincerely praised.

This world is never short of geniuses, and he will not think that relying on the ability of the "Hongmeng Enlightenment Classic" to store his understanding, he has created several new types of instruments, and he will underestimate the world.

You must know that the magic tools in the world of immortality today are constantly created by generations of geniuses.

If Chen Daoxuan can create his own magic weapon, other people can also do it.

"But... what does this have to do with your magic weapon?"

"It's relevant, it's very relevant!"

Chen Daochu said excitedly, "Young patriarch, do you know how to make magic talismans?"

"Of course I know, don't forget, I'm a first-order Talisman."

Chen Daoxuan smiled and said.

But then, his face suddenly became serious, "Spiritual control formation, re-engraving the spell Dao pattern, you mean..."

"right!"

Chen Daochu nodded, "Amulet making machine!"

Hear this.

Chen Daoxuan's complexion kept changing.

He murmured: "The making of a talisman is simpler than refining a tool or alchemy, the most difficult of which is to engrave the spell pattern on the talisman paper or spirit jade.

This point, the cultivator can still make mistakes, can you do it with this magic weapon? "

"Hey, of course it can't be done!"

Chen Daochu scratched his head, "But this is one direction, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan was almost laughed at by Chen Daochu.

"After a long time, you told me that you have a direction, right?"

"Yes!"

Chen Daochu nodded as a matter of course, "Young Patriarch, you have also created a new type of magic weapon, you should know that sometimes the research direction is the most important thing!

In fact, we have already solved a lot of problems for this magic symbol making machine, and now there are only two or three problems that have not been solved.

Once solved, I guarantee that ordinary mortals can use this machine to make magic symbols! "

Hearing that ordinary mortals can use it to create magic talismans, Chen Daoxuan was instantly moved.

Compared with monks, the most numerous people in this world are mortals.

But in the eyes of monks, the role of mortals is dispensable.

For monks, whether it is to produce resources or force, mortals are almost useless.

Because of this, the status of mortals in this world is very low.

Even under the protection of Qianyuan Jianzong's decree, Wan Xinghai cultivator treated mortals wantonly and killed them without caring.

Even the natives are terrified of their own monks.

This is also the reason why the immortal cities built by the major families are divided between mortals and monks.

It was because he was afraid that mortals would collide with the monks and provoke the monks with bad temperament to kill them.

Now Chen Daochu said that ordinary mortals can use this magic tool to make magic talismans, which means that mortals can also independently produce the resources used by monks, which is the first time in the world.

Actually.

Chen Daoxuan's vision of industrialized alchemy and alchemy is to allow mortals to replace monks and participate in the production process.

But he worked hard for a long time.

It was found that the role of monks in the process of alchemy and tool refining could not be replaced.

For example, the melting furnace he invented.

It only solves the problem of handling materials in the process of refining low-level magic tools.

It can be regarded as the use of mortals and melting furnaces, liberating part of the energy of the monks.

And the follow-up shaping and the most crucial fusion formation, there is no shortage of cultivators at all.

Not to mention that in the refining process of high-level magic tools, the current Rongling Furnace cannot process materials at all.

Now, Chen Daochu actually said that their magic weapon research institute can come up with a machine that completely allows mortals to produce magic symbols, which naturally makes Chen Daoxuan excited.

"Okay!"

He patted Chen Daochu on the shoulder hard, "Since there is a direction, let's go and do it. If you have any difficulties, just say it, I will support you unconditionally!"

"What you want is your words, young patriarch!"

Chen Daochu was very excited when he heard Chen Daoxuan's assurance.

immediately.

He complained in front of Chen Daoxuan: "You don't know how much our Magical Instrument Research Institute has spent so much time studying this magic talisman making machine."

"Talking about?"

Chen Daoxuan was quite puzzled.

"Yes,"

He pointed to all kinds of materials in the laboratory, incomplete puppets, strange instruments, "These must be bought with spirit stones!

But I went to the old patriarch. He said that now he only cares about the monks of the Fuzi generation, and he doesn't ask about family affairs. I went to Daochuan again, and he said that the spirit stones in the bank could not be used.

Young patriarch, you have to help me, our magic weapon research institute has no spiritual stones at all now! "

"No money at all?"

Chen Daoxuan said in shock, "I remember a few months ago, you still have 10 million spirit stones in the account of the Institute of Magical Instruments?"

"Yes, but the flowers are all gone!"

"Chen Daochu, how did you spend it?"

Chen Daoxuan was stunned, "It took more than two months to burn 10 million spiritual stones and cultivate spiritual veins, right?"

"Young patriarch, look."

Chen Daochu pointed to a third-order puppet beast not far away, "The puppet beast captured from the Battlefield Mountain of Izumo Country alone has more than one million spirit stones, which I bought from another government.

And this, the third-order Phantom Meteor Gold, 30,000 Spirit Stones per pound! and this......"

"Alright, alright!"

Listening to his complaints, Chen Daoxuan waved his hand quickly, "I will solve the problem of research funding."

"You can't solve it yet."

"It's not enough for me to solve it for you, right?"

"No, how dare I?"

Chen Daochu made a bow and smiled, "Young patriarch, you know, now that the family is big, there are many stalls, and you are often busy, sometimes not returning for a few months, or maybe not returning for a few years in the future. .

But we can't stop the project of the Institute of Magical Instruments. We can't wait for you to come back here dryly every time we are short of money, do you think? "

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan frowned.

He knew that Chen Daochu was right.

There are more and more things in the family now, and there are more and more places where various departments need to use funds.

In the past, the family financial power has always been held by him personally.

And now.

Since Chen Daoxuan often goes out, it is a little inappropriate to do so.

He must find a suitable person to take over the financial power of the family, so that when he is not in the family, the lack of funds will not affect the development of the family.

Thinking of this, Chen Daoxuan nodded and said, "I will discuss your question at the family meeting."

hear this.

Chen Daochu stopped talking.

But soon, he added: "I still have a question."

Chen Daoxuan glared: "Is there a problem, don't you know to clarify it at one time?"

"Yes,"

Chen Daochu chuckled, "Young patriarch, when you come back this time, can you give us more make-up lessons for the Institute of Magical Instruments?"

He deliberately aggravated his tone on the make-up class.

"There is no problem with making up the class, has the confidentiality work been done?"

Chen Daoxuan said seriously.

Hearing this, Chen Daochu also became serious, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, the confidentiality work in this area can be said to be the strictest in the family.

The cultivators of the blessed generation we screened out are loyal to the family first, ability second, plus the constraints of the Great Dao Oath and my care, if this can cause problems, the young patriarch will ask me! "

Hear this.

Chen Daoxuan nodded reassuringly.

Chen Daochu was almost brought up by him, and Chen Daoxuan knew him very well.

Although Chen Daochu usually behaves a little incongruously in front of him, in fact, he is an extremely cautious and tenacious person.

otherwise.

Chen Daoxuan would not hand over the lifeblood of the future Chen family, the Institute of Magical Instruments, into his hands.

Chen Daoxuan has always believed that prudence and tenacity are two indispensable qualities on the road of research.

Because prudence can allow researchers to discover details that are easily overlooked in the process of creating new magical instruments, while tenacity can allow researchers to not be discouraged or give up in the face of failure.

As for talent.

With the preaching function, it is the least important quality of all researchers in the Institute of Magical Instruments.

Chen Daoxuan was very relieved that the Changping Magical Instrument Research Institute was looked after by such a person.

"If that's the case, I'll send you the money later."

"No hurry, no hurry, you are busy first."

When Chen Daoxuan heard this, he said: "Since you are not in a hurry, let's wait until the clan meeting is over."

Hearing this, Chen Daochu's face suddenly collapsed: "No no no, I said the wrong thing, we are anxious! We are so anxious! Everyone is waiting for the rice to cook!"

"Stinky boy!"

Chen Daoxuan pointed at him and laughed.

"Hey-hey."
