Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

As Mo Changqing asked the question, everyone fell silent.

The current situation is very complicated. Theoretically speaking, the Qingheng faction should remain inactive and wait for the best opportunity.

However, Wan Hua Palace has already sent them an invitation.

If we don't go then, it will be difficult to explain to Wanhua Palace. Moreover, and most importantly, Qingheng Sect has also benefited from Zhao State.

Now that the State of Zhao is in trouble, it would be unreasonable not to intervene.

However, if they were to actually take action, it would be too risky for the Qingheng Sect.

After all, for them, the greatest interest of the Qingheng Sect was not in the Zhao Kingdom, but in the Tianmu Mountains. In fact, even the Tianmu Mountains became a pretext.

Rather, it is in the underground world, and in that rather ethereal Middle-earth.

Having witnessed the vastness of paradise, the Qingheng Sect's vision also broadened.

“I think we should go.” The first person to speak was Lei Kunhai. To Zhang Yan’s and the others’ surprise, he actually supported the Qingheng faction’s decision to send troops.

"After all, this is Zhao Kingdom's territory, and our Qingheng Sect is different from before. We now have Nascent Soul stage cultivators, which means that in this war, no matter what, we will not be the losers. It's just a matter of how much benefit we can gain." Lei Kunhai spoke in a steady voice.

“You’re right…” Mo Changqing nodded slightly upon hearing Lei Kunhai’s words, as his thoughts coincided with Lei Kunhai’s.

In the end, sect wars still depend on high-level combat power. The Qingheng Sect currently has the Azure Phoenix and a Nascent Soul stage puppet, so theoretically, its combat power is sufficient.

As long as there is a Nascent Soul Ancestor, the Qingheng Sect will always be invincible.

Even if the Hehuan Demon Sect had two true Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they would not fight the Qingheng Sect to the death.

In other words, as long as the Qingheng Sect makes a move this time, they will be able to obtain a massive amount of resources.

If the Zhao Kingdom wins, the Qingheng Sect will be able to replace the Wanhua Palace, becoming the number one cultivation sect in the Zhao Kingdom, dominating the entire Zhao Kingdom, and obtaining all of Zhao Kingdom's resources.

Although……

The Qingheng Sect has already occupied the Tianmu Mountains and the underground world, and has countless resources. But who would complain about having too many resources?

Moreover, the fact that the Zhao Kingdom was able to support so many cultivation sects on its own shows that the Zhao Kingdom had a considerable amount of resources.

As for whether the Qingheng Sect can win against the Hehuan Demon Sect by joining forces with the Wanhua Palace, or if the battle situation is not good, the Qingheng Sect can also take over the Tianmu Mountain Range and even the surrounding territory by relying on its high-level combat power.

It can even absorb a considerable amount from the sects of the Zhao Kingdom, after all...

The Hehuan Demon Sect's policies are all about draining blood and marrow, eating everything they have.

So after much deliberation in the main hall, the group finally decided to send their disciples to fight against the Hehuan Demon Sect.

"It's going to be another tough battle." Hearing Mo Changqing's decision, Zhang Yan sighed deeply. This battle would be even more brutal than the war to reclaim the wasteland.

However, the Qingheng Sect had already made preparations for this day.

Why did the previous land reclamation war last so long? Wasn't it just for training troops?
Let all the disciples participate in a life-or-death battle so that they can gain experience. In this way, they will now have a significant advantage.

"How many people are we sending this time?" Zhuge Wan asked Mo Changqing.

“Five Golden Core cultivators, 200 Foundation Establishment cultivators, and 5000 Qi Refining cultivators,” Mo Changqing said slowly after thinking for a moment.

"what?

"So many?" Everyone was taken aback by Mo Changqing's words.

This number accounts for almost two-thirds of the Qingheng Sect's manpower. If anything unexpected were to happen, the entire Qingheng Sect would probably be finished.

"Since we're going to send troops, let's show some real strength."

In addition, orders were issued that all families and sects in the Tianmu Mountains must mobilize manpower to participate in the war. Mo Changqing spoke coldly.

"Yes~"

Upon hearing Mo Changqing's words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They knew that the Qingheng Sect was serious this time.

In fact, Mo Changqing's idea was very simple.

That means the Qingheng faction needs to flex its muscles.

Although theoretically, once they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they are invincible, the extent to which they can gain more benefits still depends on their strength.

If you don't flex your muscles, you won't get any more benefits.

To put it simply, the Nascent Soul stage is equivalent to nuclear deterrence. Under normal circumstances, no one will deploy Nascent Soul stage personnel. Without deploying nuclear weapons, if you want more benefits, it depends on how strong your aircraft carriers, missiles, and military are.

...With Mo Changqing's order, the entire Qingheng Sect immediately sprang into action like a war machine, operating in an orderly manner.

Because the war to reclaim the wasteland had just ended not long ago, the entire Qingheng Sect was still very adept at handling the war.

And this time the action.

Zhang Yan was also included.

According to Mo Changqing, Zhang Yan's strength is already very high, and it's time for him to hone his skills.

A cultivator who lacks combat experience will find it difficult to shine in the Central Plains.

Mo Changqing's words made Zhang Yan even more interested in the Central Plains. What exactly is in the Central Plains?
Are all cultivators in the Central Plains this powerful?

Seeing that Mo Changqing kept praising the Central Plains after returning from there, his curiosity was piqued.

Of course, most importantly, Zhang Yan didn't believe that he, Zhang, couldn't survive in the Central Plains.
Putting everything else aside, just by relying on his equipment inventory and constantly seeking out apprentices, he was able to find himself a whole host of powerful backers.

……

after all.

This child is like me; this isn't just something I say.

It really does look like it!

Despite his thoughts, Zhang Yan followed Mo Changqing's advice and boarded the spaceship bound for the battlefield.

Huge warships and spaceships rose from the Tianmu Mountains and slowly flew outwards.

Along the way, monsters fled in terror, and cultivators all turned a sidelong glance at them.

On the spaceship.

Zhang Yan sat cross-legged in his room, meditating with his eyes closed.

He was trying to comprehend his own supernatural powers.

That's the downside of having too many supernatural powers. Others only need to comprehend one or two supernatural powers, but he has to comprehend more than thirty!

In fact, in order to make their spiritual arts more effective, they comprehend even more supernatural powers.

If it weren't for the equipment slots and the enlightenment meditation cushion, Zhang Yan would have worked himself to death and still wouldn't have been able to comprehend so many supernatural powers.

"But even with equipment slots and affixes, it's still too slow, seriously hindering my progress." Zhang Yan looked somewhat frustrated.

These supernatural abilities, while bringing him a great deal of magical power and abundant potential, also brought him a lot of trouble.

In particular, without the corresponding magical artifact, his comprehension was too slow, even with the enlightenment futon, the speed was still very slow.

in fact……

With the blessing of the Enlightenment Futon, Zhang Yan's speed in comprehending these things was already considered heaven-defying, but it was still far slower than the speed of equipment attributes.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When has Mr. Zhang ever suffered such grievances?
He now faces two paths. One path is to seek out all sorts of magical artifacts and spiritual objects, and then to study the inscriptions on them.

This part is not easy to walk.

After all, once you reach the level of a spiritual artifact, it becomes a very precious item for all cultivators, and it won't be given to them easily.

Even if he buys it, he might not be able to get it.

Even if he buys a magical artifact, it may not have the right supernatural power for him, and he may very well end up wasting his time.

Then he would have no choice but to take the second option.

That means finding some equipment that can increase comprehension.

Take, for example, the meditation cushion.

Although the Enlightenment Futon is only the lowest-level enlightenment equipment, it has a very good effect after he synthesizes it. However, as his level increases, the Enlightenment Futon becomes somewhat ineffective.

After all, no matter what, this enlightenment futon is made from the lowest-grade magic artifacts. The initial bonus is small, so no matter how it is synthesized, it can't compare to others.

Therefore, he wanted to find some higher-level magical artifacts for enlightenment.

However, there are very few magical artifacts for enlightenment. Since he entered the world of cultivation, he has only heard of the Enlightenment Futon, which can increase comprehension.

Moreover, the blessing is not much, only a little bit.

It's the worst of the worst.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He then walked out of the room and onto the deck of the spaceship. The spaceship was moving very fast and at a considerable altitude. Looking down from the spaceship, one couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

"Junior Brother Zhang?"

"How did you get out?" The person piloting the spaceship was none other than Mu Sen.

However, because this spaceship was carrying a large number of people, including some cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, he was quite restrained in his steering.

He didn't do anything particularly difficult, which made him look like he was holding back a lot of effort.

"I'm wondering if there's any magical artifact that can increase comprehension." Zhang Yan smiled and didn't hide anything, directly expressing his doubts to Mu Sen.

"Um?

"Something that can increase comprehension?" Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Mu Sen looked at him with a strange gaze.

"Don't you think your comprehension is already quite strong?" Mu Sen had vaguely heard about Zhang Yan's thirty-six spells for foundation building.

With such strong comprehension, they still need something to enhance it.

Isn't this a bit too much?

You just don't want anyone else to live, do you?

“Sigh, don’t you think I’m the one who needs something to increase my comprehension?” Zhang Yan asked Mu Sen with a wry smile.

"You..."

It seems that it is indeed true...

Upon hearing this, Mu Sen was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was going on.

That's absolutely right!

Although Zhang Yan's comprehension is indeed extraordinary.

But he is also precisely the one who lacks the most in terms of increasing his understanding.

the reason is simple.

He possesses too many magical abilities. Others only need to comprehend a few of these abilities and grasp their underlying principles to achieve the Golden Core stage.

But Zhang Yan is not suitable.

He possesses over thirty supernatural abilities; if he were to comprehend them normally, it would take him forever.
Too slow, too slow.

Moreover, and most importantly, because of his strong comprehension, he was given things that could enhance his comprehension, which allowed him to bring out the full potential of those things.

Thinking of this, Mu Sen lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Putting everything else aside, I know that the relics in Nalanda Monastery can increase one's comprehension."

"Um,

Landa Monastery?
"Relics?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly went to Mu Sen's side, saying enthusiastically, "Senior Brother Mu, please tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Landuo Monastery is one of the sects in our Zhao Kingdom. It has many great monks who have reached the Golden Core stage. After these great monks pass away, they may leave behind relics, which have the function of increasing enlightenment. In the words of Landuo Monastery, this is called opening wisdom."

Mu Sen didn't hide anything and directly told them what he knew.

"Only monks at the Golden Core stage possess relics?" Zhang Yan sighed. If that were the case, then the value of this relic must be considerable, and he would likely find it difficult to obtain.

"Yes, those relics are actually equivalent to our golden cores. It's just that after they pass away, they can preserve these golden cores using some special methods." Mu Sen nodded and explained the situation to Zhang Yan.

"How many relics are there in Nalanda Monastery?" Zhang Yan asked again, not yet ready to give up.

“Not many.” Mu Sen shook his head without hesitation: “I estimate less than ten. Although a senior monk in the Golden Core stage might be able to condense relics, there aren’t many Golden Core cultivators in the Landa Monastery itself. The relics he has are left behind by cultivators who passed away before. But some cultivators didn’t condense them, and some senior monks died outside the Landa Monastery. How could there be many relics?”

“What you said is also correct.” Hearing this, Zhang Yan nodded in agreement. The things that only Golden Core cultivators could leave behind must be extremely precious, and the quantity could not be too small.

but!

We have to get some, no matter what.

These things are destined for him!

Isn't it said that when a senior monk converts someone with a karmic connection, he gives away things for free?

Zhang Yan felt that he had a connection with these great monks.

Just as he was pondering how to obtain those relics, the spaceship finally arrived at the Wanhua Palace in the Zhao Kingdom.

Because this confrontation with the Hehuan Demon Sect was the top priority for all cultivation sects in the entire Zhao Kingdom, they decided to hold their meeting at the Wanhua Palace.

After all, Wanhua Palace is still nominally the leader of the Zhao Kingdom, the one who holds the reins.

The only Nascent Soul stage cultivator on the surface is also in the Myriad Flower Palace.

They weren't the first ones sent by Qingheng; quite a few sects had arrived before them.

Among them is Landa Monastery.

Zhang Yan stared intently at the procession from Landuo Temple.

There weren't many people from Landa Monastery, only a little over a thousand. Every one of them had a bald head that gleamed in the sunlight. Leading them were two large monks in robes, one fat and one thin. The fat one was bare-chested, with a big head and ears, and a smiling face that made him look like a Maitreya Buddha.

The thin one was as thin as a stick, withered and emaciated. When he smiled, his face was covered in wrinkles. If you didn't know he was a high-ranking monk in the Golden Core stage, you would think he was an old man about to die.

Zhang Yan stared at the two monks, pondering how to obtain the relics from them. Killing them was probably out of the question.

After all, he is at the Golden Core stage.

Moreover, they were their own teammates...

But it doesn't matter, there's always a way to get them to take out the relics. If we can't steal them, can't we just buy them?
Putting everything else aside, once this great battle is over, the Qingheng Sect will become the most powerful sect in the Zhao Kingdom. At that time, if he asks the Landuo Temple for a few relics, they should be willing to give him face, right?
Disrespecting him is disrespecting Grandmaster Qingluan! (End of Chapter)
