Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

These three things are consumables. Once the war begins, no one knows how much of them will be consumed every day.

The monks fighting in the front can use spoils of war or spirit stones to exchange for various supplies they need with weapon refiners, alchemists, and talisman makers.

Therefore, non-combatants do not necessarily gain less, and the risk factor is relatively lower, unless the city is broken.

However, since the establishment of Zhenhuang City, it has never been broken into by monsters and beasts. Moreover, human cultivators will not allow these border cities to collapse.

This time, the recruitment of Zhenhuang City requires at least 50,000 monks. Together with the monks in the original city, the total number exceeds 60,000.

There are 60,000 cultivators in each city. There are a total of six immortal cities along the wild border. The total number of cultivators resisting the beast tide this time is estimated to be around 400,000.

There are estimated to be nearly one million monsters in the beast tide. Although the number of monsters is higher than that of human cultivators, there is still a gap between the two.

Humans have tall city walls for protection, as well as formations. Even individual cultivators have a myriad of other means, including magical weapons, talismans, spells, and more.

With teamwork, most monsters can be easily killed. If it is a one-on-one fight, that may not be the case. Generally speaking, the monsters are still stronger.

Although human monks have the advantage in strength, after each beast tide, less than half of the 400,000 human monks can survive, which shows how brutal the battle is.

Even though the loss rate exceeds 50%, there are still a large number of monks who flock to sign up to participate.

With Chen Yunhao's wealth, even if he was standing on the front line, his survival rate would be higher than more than 90% of the cultivators.

However, Chen Yunhao did not want to go to the front line. If he encountered a monster at the Foundation Establishment stage or the Demon Pill stage, no matter how powerful his methods were, he would eventually be gone.

Moreover, his endless tricks will eventually make him the most dazzling presence in the field, but this is not what he wants. Being low-key is his principle in life.

So since he decided to go to Zhenhuang City this time, he decided to go as a talisman maker.

He had many kinds of talismans in his hands, and there were hundreds of them in his storage bag.

At that time, you can use the ancient mirror to copy the talisman and then exchange it for the spoils ahead.

In Zhenhuang City, the largest number of people are low-level Qi Refining cultivators, and their demand for elixirs is very large, and they are low-level Qi Replenishing Pills, and the Spirit Gathering Pills consume the most.

It would be the most unprofitable for Chen Yunhao to use the ancient mirror to copy these elixirs. This is one of the reasons why he is unwilling to become an alchemist.

There are also front-line weapon refiners who are quite popular, but most of the time the work of weapon refiners is mainly to repair magical instruments, which he cannot do.

Only the talisman maker is most suitable for him. Talismans are disposable consumables and are mainly used in battles.

And since there are high-level talismans, monks will not choose low-level talismans. The power of the talismans is as great as that of heaven and earth, and they can save lives at critical moments.

There are more than twenty kinds of first-class mid-grade and high-grade talismans in Chen Yunhao's storage bag.

Among them, the main ones are combat talismans, and there are only two or three kinds of protective talismans, but this is enough.

During this period, Chen Yunhao also went to Yaowang Pavilion and bought a few pills of Yaowang Pavilion's very famous medicine for injuries, bone-setting and tendon-repairing pills.

This is one of the top-grade elixirs, specially used to treat internal and external injuries of cultivators.

The therapeutic effect is very obvious. One pill can be effective for general tendon and bone breaks, as well as damaged internal organs.

However, the price is not cheap, each pill costs one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

It is said that the price was not so expensive before, and it has only gone up in recent days. I heard that many people bought it.

Chen Yunhao prepared a few bone-healing and tendon-repairing pills just in case. Besides, he could also use an ancient mirror to copy them and sell them. They were not available at this price in Zhenhuang City.

Since he decided to go to Zhenhuang City, Chen Yunhao had to make some preparations in advance.

Don’t think about building the foundation for now, wait until the beast tide is over.

Although building the foundation is also very important, the beast tide only happens once in a hundred years, and if you miss it, you miss it.

Chen Yunhao copied several batches of best-selling magic weapons and sold them all in the store, exchanging them for nearly a thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

Recently, business in various magic weapon shops in the city has been extremely hot, and a lot of attack and protection magic weapons have been sold.

Therefore, the magic tools copied by Chen Yunhao are also very popular, and the prices are slightly higher than before.

With nearly a thousand mid-grade spirit stones in his hand, Chen Yunhao felt much more at ease.

Medium-grade spirit stones are hard currency. They can be used for personal cultivation or for trading. In Zhenhuang City, medium-grade spirit stones can play a greater role.

As for why Chen Yunhao didn't use the ancient mirror to copy the mid-grade spirit stone, it was not that he didn't want to. In fact, he had already done various detailed experiments.

Copying other items is easy. Although the higher the level of the treasure, the more energy the ancient mirror needs to pay, Chen Yunhao thinks it is still very cost-effective.

For example, if he consumes 50% of the true energy in his body, he can use the ancient mirror to copy two sets of armor he is currently wearing.

This armor can be sold for one thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to ten medium-grade spirit stones.

Similarly, he used 50% of his internal energy and the ancient mirror to copy medium-grade spirit stones, but he could only copy about four or five pieces.

Although two medium-grade spirit stones can make up for the 50% of its lost true energy, there is even a surplus.

However, from the perspective of overall benefits, it is not cost-effective to directly copy spirit stones, whether they are low-grade or medium-grade spirit stones.

As for high-grade and top-grade spirit stones, he had never seen them, but judging by the current situation, this was probably what they looked like.

Therefore, most of the time Chen Yunhao copied magical instruments and high-quality talismans, and then exchanged them for medium-quality spirit stones.

Of course, Chen Yunhao also copied some of his family assets for himself, such as the top-grade flying sword, the Fire Crow Sword. Now he has a total of three of them.

Shield Jiuhuan also copied three sets. When he got the newly refined armor back, he would also prepare two sets, so he could rest assured.

Ever since the ancient mirror swallowed the demon pill, Chen Yunhao no longer had to worry about whether there was enough energy in the ancient mirror. He just had to start copying.

Besides, the main purpose of his trip to Zhenhuang City was to obtain the demon pill for the ancient mirror. He hoped to restore the spirituality of the ancient mirror as soon as possible.

Seven days passed quickly, and Chen Yunhao went to the weapon refining shop to retrieve the newly refined armor.

The newly refined armor was like a piece of soft leather, with hidden patterns of scales on it, and a hint of the unique spiritual light of a magical weapon flashing.

This set of close-fitting armor has reached the level of a top-grade magical weapon, one level higher than the one he is wearing now.

Even though there is only a difference of one level, the difference in defense power is huge. It will take some effort for ordinary foundation-building cultivators or magic weapons to break through.

Just find a chance to sell the old armor that has been replaced. There is no need to keep it anymore.
