Chapter 2264 The simplest way: throw money at it!
On that vast lake, Zhang Bairen was leading more than twenty fourth-tier demon kings at a rapid pace. Although these fourth-tier demon kings had survived the second round of heavenly tribulation, they all died in the third round of heavenly tribulation.
The fifth-tier demon king on this battlefield was entangled by the human Nascent Soul stage cultivators and had no chance to get close to Zhang Bairen, nor did he dare to get close to Zhang Bairen.
At this moment, Zhang Bairen was slammed into the lake by a huge golden thunder dragon.
boom!
The lake surface suddenly collapsed, then a terrifying giant wave surged outwards, causing the human cultivators watching from afar and the viewers in the live broadcast room to cry out in alarm.
The enormous golden thunder dragon circled once before rushing towards the lake, its heavenly tribulation locking onto Zhang Bairen in the water.
Just as the golden thunder dragon was about to plunge into the lake, and countless cultivators were worried for Zhang Bairen, a dazzling golden sword light tore through the lake's surface and collided violently with the golden thunder dragon descending from the sky.
In just a moment, a destructive storm swept out, and terrifying shockwaves swept around, causing large amounts of lake water to evaporate and towering waves to rise on the lake surface.
The heavenly tribulation that had enveloped this area dissipated, and then a massive vortex of spiritual energy appeared on the lake's surface. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged towards the vortex, and Zhang Bairen's aura reappeared in the world.
"It's done! Senior Brother Zhang has succeeded!"
"Our sect has gained another powerful Nascent Soul stage elder!"
"Quickly! While the demon king of the opposing demon race has been mostly wiped out, let's rush over!"
"All troops, counterattack! Leave the fifth-tier demon king to us!"
"The Azure Cloud warship will lead the vanguard in a full-scale counterattack!"
The voice of a Nascent Soul stage human cultivator echoed from the sky, and the human cultivators in the city immediately charged out.
"Our chance to make a fortune has arrived! Let's go!"
"It's our turn to hunt down the demons now!"
"Follow these seniors and kill!"
……
The human cultivator army charged into the battlefield with overwhelming momentum and murderous intent, with each human cultivator radiating intense fighting spirit.
Zhang Bairen had just annihilated more than forty demon kings on the opposing side, and now the demon army was at its weakest. With the assistance of two Qingyun warships, the human race had a very clear advantage.
A fierce battle quickly unfolded, with the human race displaying soaring morale and unleashing astonishing combat power.
Meanwhile, the opposing demon army lost dozens of demon king commanders, which threw them into chaos and put them at a disadvantage.
In just two hours, countless demons died at the hands of humans. The fifth-order demon king, who was being entangled by a human Nascent Soul stage cultivator, was filled with rage upon seeing this.
"withdraw!"
Knowing that staying would not change the situation and would only increase casualties, the fifth-tier demon kings quickly ordered their army to retreat. The humans behind them naturally pursued and killed countless demons in the process.
At almost the same time, another twenty-eight elite Golden Core cultivators from the Qingyun Sect also successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
Their promotion process was not easy either; in the end, they all had to use the strongest trump card that Sun Yi had prepared for them to successfully overcome the tribulation.
Although the tactics employed by the thirty men put them in great danger, they achieved remarkable results, inflicting heavy casualties on the demon race.
With the cooperation of the Qingyun warship, the situation on thirty battlefields was directly reversed.
Meanwhile, the Qingyun Sect also greatly boosted the morale of the human race through this official live broadcast. In the following three days, the human army of the Wanling Continent unleashed unprecedented combat power, fought a series of brilliant counterattacks, and achieved remarkable results.
Three days later, Sun Yi met Gao Shou, Li Yunfei, Luo Ling, Chang Qing, Gu Qianyue, and others in the virtual space.
Gao Shou was the first to report the latest battle report: "Sect Leader, according to statistics, the number of people who have died in the battle against the demon race in the past few days has decreased by 50%, while the results achieved have doubled. Our morale is very high, and the battle situation is basically stable."
Sun Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Your operations department has worked hard. Continue to focus on reducing battle losses and stabilizing the front line. We will do our best to avoid mistakes rather than seek merits. We will fully support your operations department. Please feel free to raise any needs you may have."
"The sect has already provided us with more than enough support. If we need anything, we will definitely ask," Gao Shou replied earnestly.
Sun Yi then turned his gaze to Li Yunfei: "Yunfei, what is the current state of the sect's resources? Can it sustain itself?"
Li Yunfei nodded: "Although the war with the demon race has accelerated the consumption of sect resources, the overall situation is not a big problem because our sect coordinates resources across the entire continent."
"It's just that consumable resources like talismans, magical artifacts, battle puppets, healing pills, and thunder pearls are in short supply."
"There is also a huge shortage of spirit stones, mainly due to the need to train dozens of top human experts and the consumption of formations."
"Finally, Elder Gu and the others' advancement this time almost exhausted all of the sect's gold spirit reserves, and now the number of gold spirits is somewhat tight."
"Furthermore, due to our sect's continuous high-priced acquisition of demon corpses, our financial expenditures are extremely large, including..."
Li Yunfei gave a general overview of the sect's resources and financial situation. Now, the Qingyun Sect has divided up various affairs, and Li Yunfei is mainly responsible for resources and finances.
Sun Yi learned about the situation of Qingyun Sect from Li Yunfei. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Prioritize the production of war resources and ensure the greatest safety for the participating cultivators."
"If there is insufficient production capacity, we will increase the number of production plants. If there is insufficient manpower, we will increase manpower. If there is insufficient raw materials, we will increase the purchase price."
"As for the shortage of spirit stones, this also needs to be seriously considered. Just training dozens of half-step Void Refinement Realm experts will consume countless spirit stones."
"However, the major powers will soon send over their sect's stockpile of spirit stones, which can temporarily plug the gap in spirit stones."
"However, we need to consider the follow-up issues. After the war ends, the use of the cultivation space will enter a period of explosive growth, and the consumption of spirit stones will be considerable."
"Furthermore, the large-scale implementation of the Physical Acupoint Opening Method will cause a surge in the consumption of spirit stones, and our future plan to regularly cultivate top experts will also require a large amount of spirit stones to support it."
"So next we need to find ways to improve the efficiency of spirit stone mining, and also accelerate the development of the Zhen Tian Secret Realm."
“But Sect Leader, we have gathered all the materials to build the spirit stone production line, but the number of spirit stone production lines that can be built is limited…” Li Yunfei looked at Sun Yi with a bitter face.
Sun Yi waved his hand: "I know that. Have you forgotten our sect's consistent style of doing things? When faced with difficulties, we do not retreat or stop moving forward, but try our best to solve the difficulties."
"Next, I will join the basic materials research project group to comprehensively promote the research of various basic materials and strive to solve the problem of insufficient raw materials for the Ling Shi production line as soon as possible."
"I will also join the research project team for the spirit stone production line and do my best to promote the research of the top-grade spirit stone production line."
"What you need to do now is to try your best to collect all kinds of materials for the spirit stone refining production line, and then build the production line and set it up in the Zhen Tian Secret Realm."
"I'll tell you the simplest way: throw money at it! Offer high rewards for all kinds of materials!" Sun Yi looked at Li Yunfei with a serious expression.
