To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

It can even block a full-strength attack from an early Jindan cultivator, which shows that the defensive power of this set of spiritual armor is really strong. After all, Sun Yi is only in the early stage of foundation building at this time.

"Has it reached its limit?" Patriarch Qingxuan looked at Sun Yi.

Sun Yi shook his head: "Not yet, ancestor, you can try the attack of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. I feel it should be no problem."

Patriarch Qingxuan nodded, raised his hand and waved it, and another astonishing sword energy attacked Sun Yi and instantly hit the spiritual armor.

Runes instantly appeared on the surface of the spiritual armor, and the defensive formation was fully activated, blocking the sword energy.

After a while, the sword energy disappeared, and Sun Yi nodded with satisfaction. The defense of this set of spiritual armor was really strong. He, a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, could actually block the attack of a cultivator in the middle stage of golden elixir.

Based on the rate at which his true qi was consumed, Sun Yi judged that he could at least block the attacks of five mid-stage Jindan cultivators before his true qi would be completely consumed.

And this is not the limit of the spiritual armor. Sun Yi guessed that if he fully unleashed the defensive power of the spiritual armor, he should be able to block the attack of a late Jindan cultivator.

But after blocking one attack, his true energy would be almost exhausted.

Sun Yi told everyone his guess. When everyone heard that the defense of this set of spiritual armor was so powerful, their eyes lit up.

"Try the blade attack again!"

The two pairs of blade wings behind him were fully opened, and the Wind and Thunder Step was performed. Strands of lightning and wind flashed by, and Sun Yi appeared dozens of meters away as if teleporting.

Then he activated the Northern Sword Technique, and the pair of small blade wings on his back directly broke into blades and flew out. A total of eighteen sharp blades turned into streams of light under Sun Yi's control and surrounded his body, emitting strong sword energy fluctuations.

kill!

Sun Yi pointed his right hand forward, and eighteen blades shot out, instantly hitting the ground in the weapon refining area like a storm.

Boom boom boom...

The entire refining site shook, and the places bombarded by the eighteen blades collapsed directly. Then Sun Yi changed his sword technique, and eighteen streams of light shot up into the sky, and instantly gathered above his head into a huge blade dozens of meters long. An extremely domineering aura spread.

cut!

Sun Yi pointed his right hand forward, and a huge blade fell from the sky with the momentum of cutting through everything, and slashed fiercely on the ground.

Boom! The ground in the weapon refining area collapsed, and a terrifying scar over 500 meters long, over 10 meters wide, and 5 to 6 meters deep appeared before everyone. Cracks appeared all over the area around the scar, and billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky.

Although this attack was very powerful, Sun Yi's face turned pale and his breath was very weak after he launched this attack.

He stretched out his hand and eighteen streams of light flew back and gathered behind him to form a pair of small knife wings.

He took a deep breath. The previous attack had exhausted all the true energy in several dantians in his body. It turned out that his realm was too low. Although the attack was strong, its endurance was seriously insufficient. Sun Yi slowly returned to the crowd.

Seeing this scene, everyone present had a burning gaze. All eighteen blades were of the third level and ninth grade. The power of a single blade was terrifying enough, and the power of all eighteen blades together was even more terrifying.

Sun Yi was clearly only at the initial stage of foundation building, but the power of his final attack made even Patriarch Qingxuan gasp in amazement. He had seen many geniuses, but none as talented as Sun Yi, who could unleash such terrifying power at the initial stage of foundation building.

Patriarch Qingxuan felt that his views on cultivation were shattered.

Is this the way to cultivate immortality?

However, thinking that Sun Yi was a member of Qingyun Sect and the Sect Leader, Patriarch Qingxuan was also very excited. Moreover, under the leadership of Sun Yi, Qingyun Sect would become even more powerful with this set of spiritual armor.

"Has this set of spiritual armor been given a name?" Ancestor Qingxuan looked at the spiritual armor worn by Sun Yi excitedly. If this kind of spiritual armor could be mass-produced, it would have a huge impact on improving the strength of Qingyun Sect.

"Ancestor, we have already decided on a name for our spiritual armor. It is called Qingyun Battle Armor."

They had already agreed before that once this set of spiritual armor was refined, they would simply name it Qingyun Armor. After any cultivator put on this armor, their combat effectiveness would skyrocket.

"Okay, let's call it Qingyun Battle Armor. Can it be mass-produced?" Ancestor Qingyun looked at Sun Yi expectantly.

“Although it can be mass-produced, the key materials are a bit scarce.”

"Refining the Azure Cloud Armor requires a very special metal material called Liquid Silver, which is a very soft refining material. Ordinary Liquid Silver is a second-level material and can be used to refine second-level Azure Cloud Armor. To refine third-level Azure Cloud Armor, third-level Liquid Silver Essence is required."

"Liuyin Mine is a relatively rare spiritual iron ore. The Black Wind Village and the Evil Spirit Valley that we took over each have a small Liuyin Mine."

"This little bit of silver ore is obviously not enough to satisfy all the disciples of our Qingyun Sect, so we must find a way to stockpile a large amount of silver. We also need to increase the mining of the two silver mines."

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."

"Haha, I do need your help. Only if you use the materials refined by the Infant Fire can you refine the Qingyun Battle Armor to the third level and ninth grade. So I will need to trouble you to continue refining the materials."

"I plan to refine a batch of third-grade, ninth-grade Qingyun battle armor, specifically for the sect's Jindan-stage cultivators. Equipped with third-grade, ninth-grade Qingyun battle armor, their strength will be greatly improved, which will be very helpful in improving the overall strength of our Qingyun Sect."

"Okay, just give me all the materials that need to be refined, and I will refine them." Patriarch Qingxuan agreed without hesitation. He was now full of energy and wished that every monk in the Qingyun Sect could immediately have a set of Qingyun armor.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Old Ancestor." Sun Yi was naturally very happy to have a great master working for him for free, and quickly threw the materials that needed to be refined to Old Ancestor Qingxuan.

Then he asked someone to call Ergouzi to the place where weapons were refined.

"Master, what instructions do you have?" Ergouzi came to Sun Yi immediately.

"How's your recruitment of miners going?"

Er Gouzi replied, "Because the conditions we offer are very good, many independent cultivators are willing to become our miners. Currently, there are over 7,300 independent cultivators mining for us."

"Among them, there are more than 500 cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the rest are all only in the Qi Refining Stage."

"I have tried my best to arrange them to the various spiritual mines in the sect. Although it has been a short time, the output of our spiritual mines in various places has skyrocketed."

Sun Yi nodded and said, "Very good. You must arrange for disciples to guard each spiritual mine and instruct them to treat our miners well. They must not oppress the miners or withhold their wages."

"Master, please rest assured that I will manage it strictly."

"Well, I asked you to come here today because the sect is in urgent need of liquid silver. After you go down, immediately arrange for those Foundation Establishment stage miners to fully mine liquid silver. Their wages can be increased by 50%, which means that they can get 15% of the liquid silver they mine."

"Also, pay them 10% above the market price to buy back the liquid silver. Don't be stingy with your money. As long as you can get the liquid silver, spending a little more is not a problem."

"Besides that, you need to arrange for people to investigate Luan Yao County to see if there are any other silver mines. If there are any, you must find a way to seize them and then arrange for mining."

"Okay, Master." Er Gouzi nodded seriously.

"How has the sect been doing recently?" Sun Yi did not let Ergouzi leave immediately, but began to inquire about the situation of Qingyun Sect.

He has been out of business for several months and still doesn't know what Qingyun Sect is like now. He needs to find out more about it.

"At present, the overall development of our Qingyun Sect is very good. A total of 400 Qingyun Taoist Palaces have been built. All of them are developing in an orderly manner according to the Sect Master's plan. The overall situation is very good. The mortal world has a very high sense of recognition for our Qingyun Sect."

"During this period of time, we have recruited a total of more than 2,500 disciples from the Qingyun Dao Palace. Among them, there is one disciple with heavenly spiritual roots, eleven disciples with upper-grade spiritual roots, more than 200 disciples with middle-grade spiritual roots, and the rest are all disciples with lower-grade spiritual roots."

"We have recruited more than 2,500 disciples. The situation is good." Sun Yi was very satisfied when he heard about the number of disciples recruited recently.

If it were any other sect, they would not recruit disciples with low-grade spiritual roots. They would only recruit good seedlings with high-grade spiritual roots and heavenly spiritual roots, and would even selectively recruit those with medium-grade spiritual roots.

"Have these disciples been thoroughly investigated and their files prepared? Have their families been properly arranged? Do they have any objections to the sect's arrangements? How is their ideological education going? What are their cultivation arrangements like?"

"Master, rest assured. Everything has been arranged according to your instructions. All the recruited disciples have been thoroughly investigated. Those with vicious minds, cruel hearts, and a thirst for blood will not be recruited, even if they are talented."

"The families of these people have been properly resettled. They are very grateful for our arrangements. We have also fully implemented ideological education work in accordance with the Sect Master's requirements, and the results are very good. These new disciples have quickly developed a sense of belonging to the sect."

"As for the cultivation of their strength, it is also in accordance with the requirements of the Sect Master. We will fully supply them with resources and arrange their training under the best conditions."
