I don't know whether it was God's will or Meng Zhang's luck. He used Dayan calculations to calculate the whereabouts of this rare treasure and collected it.

If God refuses to take it, he will be blamed for it. Since the treasure was delivered to his door, Meng Zhang naturally accepted it without ceremony. As for whether there would be any future troubles if he took this rare treasure, Meng Zhang could not care about it for the time being.

Meng Zhang used Dayan Divine Calculation to deduce new forces to participate in the battle and reduce the losses of his own low-level monks.

After figuring out the general function of this rare treasure, he had a clue in his mind.

In the world of cultivation, some powerful sects will have methods of raising and refining Taoist soldiers.

Depending on the refining methods and inheritance factions, the sources of Taoist weapons are complex and diverse.

Humans, monsters and even some spiritual objects can be used as raw materials for refining Tao weapons.

In its heyday, Taiyi Sect naturally had some unique Tao soldiers.

Strictly speaking, the guardian generals in the Taiyi Sect are also a type of Taoist soldiers.

Up to now, many of the inheritances of Taiyi Sect have been lost. Even among the inheritances that Meng Zhang obtained in the trial place, there is no means to refine Taoist weapons.

In the small world, Meng Zhang harvested the inheritance classics of the Zijin Sect, which recorded the refining techniques of the two Taoist weapons of the Zijin Sect.

However, refining Tao soldiers requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and consumes a lot of cultivation resources. Moreover, there are not many monks in Taiyi Sect who practice the Zijin Sect’s inherited skills. Therefore, Meng Zhang has not refined the Zijin Sect’s characteristic Tao before.

soldiers.

When this rare treasure is in the hands of a fifth-level earth spirit, it can be used to refine a sand monster. The sand monster is also a kind of Taoist weapon.

The sand monster is a kind of puppet, not a living thing, but it can be used as a qualified war tool.

Meng Zhang used this rare treasure to also refine Tao weapons.

For some Taoist weapons that are difficult to refine, with this rare treasure, the refining process can be simplified and the difficulty of refining can be reduced.

It took Meng Zhang a while to figure out how to use this rare treasure.

To use this rare treasure to refine Taoist weapons, two conditions need to be met.

One is to provide templates for Tao soldiers.

Like the fifth-level earth spirit, he absorbed some characteristics of the earth spirit clan and added his own creativity to create the template of the sand monster.

The second condition is to provide sufficient resources. Among them, spiritual stones are an indispensable basic resource.

The fifth-level earth spirit is good at controlling the earth, and can easily extract spiritual energy from the spiritual veins and condense spiritual stones. He can even communicate with the earth veins and create treasures such as spiritual marrow at the expense of spiritual veins.

The main component of the sand monster is sand, with some ores mixed in.

With the ability of a fifth-level earth spirit, extracting various ores from under the earth is a piece of cake.

In order to come up with a Taoist template, Meng Zhang thought hard for a long time. He even called the most knowledgeable Ji Sword God General in the sect over to ask him for advice.

Regarding the origin and function of this rare treasure, Meng Zhang did not hide the thoughts of the higher-ups in the sect.

Although the Supreme Sword God General and the Thunder God General are only at the foundation-building stage, they are enough to sweep through all the foundation-building stage monks, and can even compete with the golden elixir stage monks.

Meng Zhang was worried that using them to wipe out the enemy's low-level monks would overly stimulate the Huoyun Sect and Huanglian Sect's Hedong branch, so he did not send them to the battlefield.

The Supreme Sword Divine General who had been staying in the door soon appeared in front of Meng Zhang.

The Supreme Sword God General did not disappoint Meng Zhang and provided many valuable opinions.

Ji Sword God General is simply the living fossil of Taiyi Sect. He is very clear about many inheritances of Taiyi Sect. Moreover, he is well-informed and has been exposed to and fought many different types of Taoist soldiers.

Meng Zhang dreams of refining Taiyi Sect’s Dharma Protector in the future. However, despite the help of rare treasures and the detailed refining methods provided by Ji Sword God General, the current Taiyi Sect is still far from being able to provide the refining conditions.

.

Meng Zhang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, hoping to refine Taoist weapons that could compete with the foundation-building monks.

After some discussion, Meng Zhang and Ji Sword God General weighed the pros and cons, and comprehensively considered cost-effectiveness, and agreed on two templates for Taoist soldiers.

One is the sand monster created by the fifth-level earth spirit.

Among this rare treasure, there is still a template for the sand monster. All Meng Zhang needs to do is make some adjustments.

First of all, the image of the sand monster must be changed and cannot be copied completely.

The sand monster has caused countless catastrophes in the history of the endless sand sea, with countless victims. Even Meng Zhang himself can be said to be one of the victims of the sand monster.

As the public enemy of cultivators, sand monsters have cast a shadow on everyone in the endless sand sea, and there are still many terrifying legends circulating to this day.

If the sand monster appears intact in Taiyi Sect's camp, it will definitely arouse doubts from Taiyi Sect disciples and vassal forces.

Even if Meng Zhang could subdue all the different voices, he would still alienate everyone.

Moreover, if it spreads to the Jiuqu League, it will damage the image of Taiyi Sect as a righteous sect. If not, it may be labeled as a heretic by hostile forces.

Secondly, the fifth-level power has the magical power of void creation. Although the sand monster created is not a living thing, it still has strong intelligence and fighting instinct.

Meng Zhang does not have that kind of ability. Even with the help of rare treasures, his ability in this area can only be greatly weakened.

The Taoist template selected by Meng Zhang and Ji Sword God General is made of specially made loess as the main material, mixed with various spiritual materials, such as red copper, black iron, etc. After being strengthened by this rare treasure, the Taoist weapon created

The soldier was named Loess Warrior by Meng Zhang.

Loess warriors mainly take human form, but can also change into other forms when necessary.

Compared with sand monsters, loess warriors have much weaker fighting instincts, appear to be relatively rigid, and have poor independent combat capabilities.

In Meng Zhang's imagination, the loess warriors, as servants of the disciples, cooperate with the disciples in fighting. They can be used as human shields or cannon fodder. The main function is to improve the combat effectiveness and survivability of the disciples.

The materials for refining the loess warriors are not difficult to find. They can be found everywhere in Yaofeng Gobi. The most valuable ones should be the spiritual stones used to activate the loess warriors.

Although there are no high-grade spiritual stones produced in Yaofeng Gobi, low-grade spiritual stones and medium-grade spiritual stones can still be collected occasionally.

For refining loess warriors, mid-grade and low-grade spiritual stones are enough.

Taiyimen and Dafeng City have close business ties, and all kinds of supplies can be replenished from Dafeng City.

Especially after the war between Taiyi Sect and Huoyun Sect began, Gale City intentionally or unintentionally increased the supply of materials to Taiyi Sect.

Because this rare treasure looks like a honeycomb and its main function is to refine Taoist weapons, Meng Zhang gave it the name Weapon Nest.

When retracted, the military nest is only the size of a human head. After being refined with true energy, it can be placed on the spiritual veins. After absorbing enough spiritual energy, the military nest can be slowly expanded.

The third-level spiritual veins on Baicao Slope have been strengthened by God General Houtu, and are supplemented by spiritual energy drawn from the underground river. They have become very stable. In addition to meeting the spiritual energy needs of Baicao Pavilion, it can also support two or three people.

Jin Dan Zhenren.

Now the military nest is placed on this third-level spiritual vein, and the Jindan master in the door is basically absent. It didn't take long for the military nest that had absorbed the spiritual energy to begin to expand.

In a small valley, a huge building like a honeycomb appeared, crowding the nearly 100 acres of flat land.

Various materials for refining Taoist soldiers were quickly collected and put into the soldier nest.

The weapon nest is a rare treasure with a very strong spirituality. As long as you set the Taoist template in advance, put in enough materials, and start it, it can automatically start refining.

At the beginning, all the loess Tao soldiers that were refined were first-level Tao soldiers, and their shapes were incomplete, missing arms and legs.

Meng Zhang learned from experience, controlled the operation of the military nest, and slowly adjusted, the situation began to improve.

It didn't take long for the soldiers' nest to produce second-level loess Taoist soldiers.

At least in terms of strength, the second-level loess Taoist soldiers are similar to ordinary foundation-building monks. The preset combat mode and the spell skills they possess are not too bad.

Meng Zhang specially recruited the foundation-building monks who stayed behind to guard the gate, and asked them to try to command these loess warriors to fight.

After some testing, I have a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Loess Warriors.

The Taiyi Sect previously purchased a large number of various puppets from the Jiqiao Sect of the Jiuqu League. They played a huge role in the battle.

Unfortunately, it is always inconvenient to purchase puppets from outside, and you will inevitably be controlled by others.

The Taiyi Sect also tried to train its mechanical masters and let them learn how to refine the mechanical puppets.

But so far, Taiyi Sect can only refine first-level mechanism puppets.

Meng Zhang didn't know the cost of Jiqiao Sect's refining of the second-level puppets. However, the cost of the first-level warriors of the loess warriors refined from the Soldier's Nest was equivalent to one-tenth of the cost of the Taiyi Sect's first-level puppets.

The cost of refining a second-level loess warrior is less than one-tenth of the cost of purchasing a second-level puppet.

More importantly, loess warriors can be mass-produced. As long as the materials can keep up, the military nest can operate at high speed and continuously produce loess warriors.

The loess warriors have a single type, few combat methods, and not high enough intelligence. But the advantage is that the cost is low, and they are independently manufactured by Taiyi Sect.

In addition, after many tests, Meng Zhang and his disciples also summarized many tactics for using loess warriors.

The place where the advantages of loess warriors can best be used is when several second-level loess warriors lead a large group of first-level loess warriors to form a military formation. In large-scale wars, they can be directly used in frontal battlefields to fight to the death.

The only bottleneck currently limiting Taiyi Sect's violent troops is the production speed of the troop nest.

To produce the lowest-level first-level loess warriors, the Soldier Nest can produce hundreds of them every day. However, to produce a second-level loess warrior that can be used widely, it takes ten and a half months to produce each one, and it is possible to produce one.
