699: Chapter 469 699: Chapter 469 The terrorists had been using weapon-type, explosive dangerous items that could harm his soldiers.
“Soldier, are you practicing Body Refinement?” Jiang Tang asked.
“Jiang Tang, you’ve seen the tools for killing used by the terrorists recently.
If we weren’t such powerful cultivators, and they were just soldiers practicing Body Refinement, they might be blasted to death.”
“Ye Tian, are you hoping your soldiers can cultivate bodies impervious to swords and spears?
Even if they could, every martial technique has its weak spot, like the head, the eyes, or other fragile body parts.”
“Then, whether they can practice Body Refinement or not, I will improve their protective gear by covering the vulnerable parts.” Ye Tian thought of those bulletproof vests; if he refined his own, then an army of over a hundred thousand wouldn’t fear the enemy’s weapons at all.
Even bulletproof vests have their weak spots, like if someone used a cannon, or other explosive devices, the vests wouldn’t save them.
He could only consider clothing with explosive resistance to reduce casualties during battle.
No one dared to wage an open war yet, but he had to be mentally prepared.
Many coveted Ancient Xia Country like a delicious cake.
Thinking of the Magnetic Trinkets and other Artifact Refining materials he had received from foreign royalty last time, Jiang Tang had collected a lot, distributed some, and had plenty left over.
With these thoughts, Jiang Tang packed the stored materials into a Storage Bag and handed them over to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian received the Storage Bag from Jiang Tang, opened it, and found it full of surprises.
The contents were extremely important for him.
Not just for creating impervious vests—these were the best materials for crafting Flying Artifacts.
He fancied the idea of transcending himself and making even better Flying Artifacts.
If only he had a Flying Artifact as powerful as Jiang Tang’s, which could carry thousands; the one he had seen was truly a magical treasure.
If it could carry around ten thousand people, then his army could swiftly travel the nation using just a few magical treasures.
He wouldn’t fear foreign invasions; anyone stirring trouble could be crushed along with their nation.
Ye Tian was merely entertaining the thought with a secret delight, knowing that realization would depend on his breakthrough.
He had many aspirations, but his Artifact Refining ability had reached a bottleneck, and researching could be time-consuming.
He was very curious about how Jiang Tang obtained his Flying Artifact, suspecting he might not tell the truth.
It didn’t seem likely that Jiang Tang had crafted it himself.
He might know the crafting secrets of Flying Artifacts, which would explain his control and knowledge of their mysteries.
He thought this and decided to ask, not minding to do so in front of many people.
With Jiang Tang providing so much material, everyone was curious to see what he would create, their expressions filled with anticipation.
“Jiang Tang, I’ve been thinking of crafting Vestment robes that are impervious to weapons for the soldiers, from the generals to the ranks, and even creating some Flying Artifacts for the generals inside the barracks.
Just like your Flying Artifact, so fast and able to carry so many, with equally powerful functions.
Do you have a crafting secret for such an Artifact Refining?”
Jiang Tang nodded, having seen Ye Tian’s Flying Artifact with defensive, offensive, and infrared capabilities.
However, in terms of flying speed and capacity, it really didn’t match up to the functions of his own magical treasure.
Right, his magical treasure was a product of space, not something crafted by mere mortals—perhaps an Immortal had crafted it.
There were secret manuals for crafting various magical treasures, ranging from ordinary to high-grade.
Jiang Tang gave Lin Dandan an ordinary Artifact Refining Secret Manual, which was already much better than some other ordinary manuals.
Lin Dandan was delighted, hoping to improve her Artifact Refining skills and someday obtain a high-grade manual.
Jiang Tang had recorded several Jade Slips with his Divine Sense from his high-grade manual.
In the midst of their conversation, he had already completed the recording, and a Jade Slip appeared in his hand.
With a flip of his hand, he revealed the Jade Slip.
“Ye Tian, this is currently the only method for Refining Talisman we have.
Do you think it might help you?”
Jiang Tang, of course, hoped that one day the Immortal Secrets Manual would appear in the space, encompassing a wide variety of categories.
He also hoped that more Immortal Treasures and Immortal Pills would emerge from the space.
He knew that being able to obtain these in The Mortal Realm was already defying the heavens, and coveting too much would only bring him trouble.
The appearance of what should come was certain; wanting the several Dragon Kings to find bodies and learn the Heaven-Mending Spell still posed some difficulty as the deities and Dragon Kings were still battling in the waters of the Southern Sea.
Ye Tian excitedly received the Jade Slip, liking it more and more as he examined it.
He knew that this secret manual was more advanced than any Artifact Refining manual he previously owned.
Indeed, those with greater abilities have access to better manuals.
Fortunately, he had brazenly asked without regard for embarrassment, even in front of so many people.
If he had to figure out such functions on his own, who knew how many years it would take, how many matters in the army would be delayed.
Lin Dandan saw the secret manual in Ye Tian’s hand, feeling a twinge of envy and jealousy.
When would she have the ability to possess such a manual?
It was time to step up her efforts.
Yan Weiwei, however, was happy for Ye Tian.
She knew how ambitious her senior brother was.
For a man to grow strong, to protect those around him, and to fulfill his duties of his position, desiring greater and more powerful items, becoming powerful was just a matter of time.
The others who hadn’t learned to Refine Magical Treasures were envious as well, though they considered their current abilities and realized they still had much to learn.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin had also studied formations and Artifact Refining.
They were aware that what they had learned was basic, and seeing Ye Tian obtain a high-level manual, they knew they needed to work harder.
Yan Weiwei’s family saw the status Ye Tian held in their clan, his high position in the country, and they were happy for their future son-in-law.
After touring the area with the group, Ye Tian led them to the clan’s task site which also had Talisman Making, various materials, Formation Materials, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and beast taming.
Passing through each place, Jiang Tang nodded subtly.
Indeed, a great family’s task-doing ability was formidable.
This was also considered logistics, providing weapons for the soldiers and earning money to buy weaponry.
Ye Tian, of course, also asked Jiang Tang for guidance, to point out any defects in each location and freely offer suggestions.
Jiang Tang’s expertise might not be the highest in other areas, but he could provide guidance in Alchemy and Formations.
As for beast taming, he simply blew a whistle, and the creatures obediently knelt down, trembling all over.
Others thought Jiang Tang’s abilities made the Demonic Beasts fear him so, but Jiang Tang knew that the whistle technique was taught to him by Eryao.
Eryao had at this moment become a Divine Dragon; naturally more fearsome than tigers and lions.
More importantly, ordinary dragons were no match for Divine Dragons, as Divine Dragons were Divine Beasts.
In the beast taming arena at the General’s Mansion, what they dealt with were merely common beasts.
Naturally, they feared the Divine Dragon; they saw someone with an imposing presence, a human with the breath of a Divine Dragon exuding a hint of Immortal Qi.
“Big brother, your friend here is truly amazing.
Just one whistle and all the creatures are so obedient.
We should learn this whistle method to improve our beast taming.”
Ye Shi’s remark made Ye Tian nod his head, never expecting that Jiang Tang’s whistle could be more effective than a Beast Tamer’s whip.
Ye Shi went to instruct the Beast Tamers to use whistles instead of whips for greater authority.
The tamers were initially skeptical, assuming it was just the other’s stronger abilities that made the creatures fear, but after the Young General and officers repeatedly did so, they had to comply.
When they truly used the whistle for beast taming, they couldn’t help but admit its effectiveness, as the creatures trained obediently.
Yan Weiwei and her family hadn’t expected that Jiang Tang, possibly due to his strong abilities, also possessed so many skills, and they were discreetly learning from him.
Yan Weiwei genuinely admired Jiang Tang.
Her junior brother, who had been inferior to her in all aspects, after encountering danger, had surpassed ordinary people and become more remarkable than a genius—a feat she once thought was just myth, assuming elites from great families were all cultivated through resources.
Jiang Tang’s breakthroughs and the maxing out of his abilities made Yan Weiwei feel she was far behind in every aspect, not just incomparable to Jiang Tang but also to many people around her.
And then there were the women by Jiang Tang’s side, each with innate brilliance, so formidable and yet striving so diligently; she must not fall behind.
