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

During their time at Qingyun Sect, the supreme elders came to know Qingyun Sect better and better, and they felt that Qingyun Sect was very different from other sects.

Many other large sects practice according to the sect's tradition, and few sects will research new technologies on their own. However, Qingyun Sect attaches great importance to research. Under the leadership of Sun Yi, the entire Qingyun Sect has developed many new things.

Now this set of fourth-level, eighth-grade Qingyun battle armor has brought the Qingyun Sect's research and development spirit to the extreme.

"Master, should we now devote all our efforts to creating this Qingyun battle armor?" Bai Zishu looked at Sun Yi with anticipation. He also wanted to own a set of such a fourth-level battle armor.

Sun Yi smiled and saw the expectant looks on the faces of several supreme elders. He knew that these supreme elders also wanted to own a set of such Qingyun armor.

"Please rest assured, my Lords. Now that the technology for refining this Qingyun battle armor has been successfully verified, we will naturally devote all our efforts to creating this top-notch battle armor."

"From now on, each of you Supremes will be able to have a set of this armor of your own."

"However, although this type of armor is of high quality and very helpful in improving strength, it also has significant limitations."

"First of all, while this suit of armor enhances its owner's strength, it also places very high demands on the physical body. The stronger the physical body, the more it can unleash the full power of this suit of armor."

"With the current physical strength of the Supremes, it is not possible to unleash the full power of this suit of armor."

"At the same time, the energy consumption of this fourth-tier Azure Cloud Battle Armor is also astonishing. Although we have comprehensively upgraded the external energy supply formation of the battle armor, the consumption of true energy is still a considerable burden."

"Although you are all cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, you are unable to provide enough Qi for the armor for a long time."

"There's another very important thing. Refining a set of this Azure Cloud Battle Armor requires a lot of precious fourth-tier materials. With all the fourth-tier materials currently in the sect, we can only create six sets of this Azure Cloud Battle Armor at most."

Sun Yi and his team had already taken inventory of all the fourth-level materials in the sect. Even if all the fourth-level materials in stock were added together, they would not be able to refine many fourth-level spiritual weapons.

Sun Yi had already been trying his best to collect fourth-level materials, but there were still not many fourth-level materials in stock.

There are now a large number of Jindan-stage cultivators in Qingyun Sect. According to the amount and purity of the true qi of the Jindan-stage cultivators in Qingyun Sect, Fang Chang, Lin Yi, Luo An, and Gu Qianyue, who have just broken through the realm, have a true qi that is much richer than that of ordinary Jindan-stage early-stage cultivators.

Moreover, because they have all practiced top-notch martial arts and have the blessing of the Five Elements Dantian, their true qi is far more refined than that of ordinary Jindan stage cultivators.

Although they are only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, they can already unleash the power of fourth-order spiritual weapons. If they can all be equipped with fourth-order Qingyun battle armor and fourth-order Five Elements Spirit Sword, they can even compete with Yuanying stage cultivators for a short period of time.

If we create a powerful combined battle formation for them, it is very likely that they will be able to kill the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the problem facing Sun Yi at present is that Qingyun Sect does not have so many fourth-level refining materials. At present, he can only increase his efforts to collect fourth-level refining materials, and also find a way to make fourth-level refining materials by himself.

Only the people on Earth know the significance of basic materials science. Sun Yi has also taken the time to study various refining materials. Unfortunately, materials science on Earth is not very practical in the world of immortal cultivation.

Although the materials synthesized from low-level materials may improve the properties of the materials, there is still no way to improve the grade of the materials. In the world of immortal cultivation, the grade of the materials is closely related to the spiritual energy contained in the materials.

If we want to produce high-end materials ourselves, we need to increase our research efforts.

"Next, we need to continue to increase our efforts to collect fourth-tier refining materials. At the same time, we will also open a basic refining material research and development subject in the R&D department, so that we can produce high-tier refining materials ourselves using ordinary materials in the future."

Everyone looked at Sun Yi with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Use ordinary materials to produce high-level refining materials? Is this possible?" Gao Shen stared at Sun Yi and asked.

"Yeah, I've never heard of such a thing. It shouldn't be possible."

"Master, you are not kidding us, are you?" Bai Zishu looked at Sun Yi in surprise.

Even Wu Muyan, Gu Qingcheng, Zhang Ye, and Palace Master Yan stared at Sun Yi with wide eyes, stunned by his imagination.

"What? You all think it's impossible?" Sun Yi glanced around and suddenly smiled.

"We can even develop and mass-produce Qingyun Dew, and we can even mass-produce body-tempering resources. It might not be impossible for us to independently produce high-level refining materials."

"This matter is extremely important to our sect. We must conduct research with all our strength and produce results in the shortest possible time."

"Master, is it really necessary for us to conduct such research?" Palace Master Yan couldn't help but ask.

"It is very necessary!" Sun Yi answered firmly.

"Think about it, how many disciples do we have now? According to our Three-in-One cultivation path, how many disciples will be able to break through to the Golden Core stage in the future?"

"How many disciples will be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"In the future, these disciples will need various spiritual weapons that match their realms. How many fourth-level refining materials will these spiritual weapons require?"

"Although high-level monsters have many high-level materials, we can't just use materials from high-level monsters to refine weapons."

"For example, the liquid gold used to refine the fourth-level Qingyun battle armor. Ultimately, this material cannot be infinite. We need to develop alternative refining materials ourselves."

"So for the future and development of the sect, we must launch a basic refining material research project. What do you think?" Sun Yi glanced around.

When everyone heard what Sun Yi said and thought about the future development of the sect, they felt that what Sun Yi said made a lot of sense.

"This is indeed a very serious problem. Since the leader has made a decision, let's do it. Just tell us how to arrange it. We will fully cooperate!" Su Motang stated directly.

"If there is any need for us to take action, please give us your orders, Master!" Gao Shen said.

"Master, please let me know if you need anything." Xia Mu Tai Shang spoke without hesitation.

Sun Yi nodded and said, "Thank you all for your support, Grand Elders. I will plan this matter carefully first. If I really need your help later, we will talk about it later."

"Currently, we're still focusing on acquiring fourth-tier materials. However, we need to use up all of our inventory first and craft as many Qingyun battle armors as possible."

"There are not enough materials in Luan Yao County, so we can only look for solutions from other counties." Sun Yi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. There are indeed not many fourth-level materials in Luan Yao County, so for the time being, we can only look for solutions from other counties.
