I can gather experience beads

Three days later, Wu Qingxuan came back with several storage bags hanging around his waist.

After seeing Cao Rui, Wu Qingxuan showed a faint smile on his face: "All the materials have been purchased!"

It is really impossible for ordinary people to gather these materials in a short period of time.

As the head of the Equipment Refining Institute, Cao Rui had many purchasing channels, and it only took him three days to purchase all the items.

"Then let's start refining." Cao Rui said softly.

After distributing the materials for the signal tower with Wu Qingxuan, Cao Rui then handed Wu Qingxuan the corresponding spiritual pattern crystal.

This time, the number of spiritual pattern crystals that Cao Rui brought back from the East China Sea was just right.

A second-level signal tower consumes five hundred kilograms of spiritual pattern crystals.

Previously, Cao Rui and Wu Qingxuan had each refined a signal tower, so they only needed to continue refining 68 pieces of spiritual pattern crystals required for the signal tower.

Cao Rui brought back 700 kilograms of Lingwen Xuan Crystal. After distributing it with Wu Qingxuan, Cao Rui was left with only kilograms of Lingwen Xuan Crystal.

It's just enough.

Cao Rui and Wu Qingxuan each entered the refining room and began to refine signal towers on a large scale according to the agreed quantity.

It takes about a day to refine a second-level signal tower.

In this way, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Cao Rui and Wu Qingxuan left the country one after another.

Next is the layout of the signal tower.

Cao Rui and Wu Qingxuan opened the map of southwest Yunzhou again.

There are four countries in the southwest of Yunzhou.

They are Xiao Kingdom in the middle, Yue Kingdom where the Spirit Beast Sect is located, Liang Kingdom where the Yunshui Sect is located, and Ming Kingdom where the Miaoyin Temple is located.

In order to connect the two sects in Liang and Ming countries, they must act slowly.

Especially in Liang State where the Yunshui Sect was located, Cao Rui felt that if he brought a signal tower there, the Yunshui Sect might regard it as an invasion, so he had to act with caution.

Cao Rui decided to first complete the deployment of signal towers in his own Yue Kingdom and Xiao Kingdom, which had no major sect forces.

After the two countries completed the arrangements, it was equivalent to half of the southwest of Yunzhou being able to feel the signal of the Lingyin Jade Pendant, forming an area.

If Liang and Ming countries do not integrate, they will be excluded sooner or later.

Of course, the layout of the signal tower has to be done in the name of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Cao Rui himself is a foundation-building cultivator. If he were to use his own name or the name of the market town, there is no telling how many people would covet the Lingyin Jade Pendant. Many immortal cultivation forces may not necessarily buy into Cao Rui's account.

Acting in the name of the Spirit Beast Sect would be simpler and faster.

In fact, in the current immortal cultivation world of southwestern Yunzhou, although Lu Jiuxiao gave Cao Rui half of the income from the market town, it was considered that the market town was divided to Cao Rui as a private fiefdom.

But on the surface, Qingling Market is regarded as a part of the Lingshou Sect, and the Lingyin Jade Pendant is also regarded as a product of the Lingshou Sect.

This is the natural connection between Cao Rui and the Spirit Beast Sect.

"Leave the layout of the signal towers within the Moon Country to me," Wu Qingxuan said.

Cao Rui looked at the map of the Moon Kingdom.

The Moon Country is generally the territory of the Spirit Beast Sect.

However, there are still some immortal cultivation forces in the vast land area.

There are five market towns and ten immortal cultivation families.

These immortal cultivation forces are all within the deployment range of the signal tower.

In addition, two additional nodes need to be arranged. The Equipment Refining Institute will send several disciples to build the node strongholds. After the construction is completed, the node guarding tasks will be assigned in the form of sect tasks.

Of course, the reward for the mission had to be paid by Cao Rui himself.

Cao Rui was quite happy about this. The task of guarding the nodes was highly safe for the sect disciples, and issuing this task was also beneficial to the sect disciples.

The reward offered by Cao Rui was also high. Once the task was released, many disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect accepted it.

In addition, a signal tower will be deployed at the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect, so the Moon Country needs to deploy a total of eighteen signal towers.

"I have been the head of the Equipment Refining Institute for such a long time, and I still have some reputation among the many immortal cultivation forces in Yue Country." Wu Qingxuan said confidently.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "In that case, the arrangement of the Moon Country signal tower will depend on you."

"There are many nodes that need to be established on the Xiao State side." Cao Rui said softly.

Xiao State is a buffer zone between the three major sects in the southwest of Yunzhou. There are few spiritual veins in the country, so there are only seven immortal cultivation forces.

It includes the Changyuan Xiuxian Market and six small Xiuxian families.

In fact, the land area of ​​Xiao State was not too small.

Cao Rui needs to deploy nine additional signal nodes, a total of sixteen signal nodes to complete the linear communication layout.

"Select ten disciples from the Equipment Refining Institute to go with you to set up the nodes." Wu Qingxuan obviously saw Xiao Guo's difficulties and took the initiative to speak.

Cao Rui cupped his hands: "That couldn't be better!"

Without further ado, Cao Rui and Wu Qingxuan immediately split their troops into two groups.

Cao Rui was overjoyed when he got Wu Qingxuan's approval.

He immediately stood up and walked towards a refining room in the refining institute with Wu Qingxuan.

In the weapon refining room, dozens of disciples from the weapon refining academy were busy refining various materials for magic weapons, and some were also engraving magic array runes.

Cao Rui's eyes swept across everyone and finally stopped on a young disciple.

This disciple is none other than Chen Rui, the true disciple of the Equipment Refining Institute.

Chen Rui has a very high talent for refining equipment and is one of the most promising disciples in the Equipment Refining Academy. He also has a high prestige in the academy and is the best candidate for assistance.

Cao Rui walked up to Chen Rui and said with a smile: "Nephew Chen, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Chen Rui raised his head, glanced at Wu Qingxuan beside him, nodded and said, "Uncle Master, please speak."

Cao Rui opened his mouth slowly and explained the reason, hoping that he could lead the other nine disciples to go to Xiao State to help him complete the setup of the signal tower stronghold.

"Since the abbot has already agreed, we disciples are naturally willing to do our best to help." After hearing this, Chen Rui nodded without hesitation, indicating his willingness to help.

So, Cao Rui asked Chen Rui to select ten people on his own, and under the watchful eyes of Wu Qingxuan, they left the Equipment Refining Institute and flew towards the mountain gate of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Soon, the group arrived at the mountain gate of the Spirit Beast Sect.

At this time, all the disciples in the Equipment Refining Academy summoned out their Thousand Feather Crane mounts.

After a simple test, Cao Rui stepped onto the black feather back, and a group of disciples rode on the thousand-feather cranes, controlling them to fly towards the western direction of the Xiao Kingdom.

......

As for Wu Qingxuan, not long after Cao Rui set out, he also followed out of the mountain gate.

Wu Qingxuan quickly found the first target force that deployed the signal tower, the Cheng family, a family of immortal cultivators in Yue Kingdom.

The Cheng family is the number one immortal cultivation family in Yue Kingdom. The clan’s supreme elder, Cheng Fangming, is a cultivator in the foundation-building stage and has known Wu Qingxuan for many years.

After Wu Qingxuan arrived, Cheng Fangming, who sensed Wu Qingxuan's spiritual consciousness, immediately came out from seclusion to greet him.

The two met alone in a study room of Cheng's house.

Wu Qingxuan took out the signal tower and explained his purpose.

Cheng Fangming took over the signal tower without hesitation.

"Don't worry about leaving this small matter to our Cheng family. As long as the Cheng family is there, this signal tower will be there!"

Wu Qingxuan smiled slightly, took out five Lingyin jade pendants and handed them to Cheng Fangming.

"These five Lingyin jade pendants are permanent versions that do not require Lingyin points, so I will give them to your Cheng family."
