Yankang National Preceptor said with a smile that was yet not a smile, "Sacred cult master sure isn't modest."
Qin Mu was slightly bewildered. He had clearly been very modest and was very realistic. He only admitted to being second and didn't dare to admit to being first. He definitely wasn't bragging, so how could this not be called modest?
Assistant Minister Shan Youxin of Ministry of Works was the Heavenly Works Hall Master of Heavenly Devil Cult. His method of forging treasures was already the best in the world. Even if other sects had capable people who were proficient in forging treasures, they couldn't surpass Shan Youxin by much.
Shan Youxin, on the other hand, was much inferior to Qin Mu. Qin Mu admitted that he was inferior to Mute, therefore, admitting that he was second was humble and practical. Old Ma had taught him to be neither arrogant nor rash, neither servile nor overbearing, and he had followed this request.
However, to other people, it was truly shocking for a young man to be the number two divine physician in the world. Furthermore, this young man also admitted to being the number two divine physician, which was simply too frightening.
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and made a list of the materials he needed. He handed it to Yankang National Preceptor and said, "To forge this kind of cannon battery, I roughly need these materials. If it's not enough, I can ask for more from the National Division. "
Yankang National Preceptor took the list and looked at it for a moment before asking slowly, "Is sacred cult master going to empty the treasury?"
Qin Mu asked in astonishment, "Why does the National Division say that?"
"The black gold and black copper on your list are fine. If you use more, a few mines can provide that much gold and copper. However, where do you want me to get this divine gold and divine material from? "
Yankang National Preceptor flicked the list and revealed a sincere expression. "Is cult master going to embezzle the treasures of the treasury? If that's the case, there's a seat for cult master in the market. "
"National Division, the thing you want to forge is something to slaughter gods, not a cult legacy treasure to kill a few cult masters! Also, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that there are still the disciples of my Heavenly Saint Cult to help you forge the treasures. We still have to pay them. "
Qin Mu gave it some thought and listed out the wages as well as the manufacturing factories he needed. He also listed out the names of the first ranking high officials in the imperial court.
"To refine this kind of divine cannon, I still need the best divine arts practitioners in the world. It would be best if I could invite the experts of Dao Sect!"
Qin Mu wrote down the two words' Dao Sect 'on the list and said, "Every component of this divine cannon needs to be refined and the amount of calculation required is extremely large. Just the scholars of Imperial College alone would probably need several hundred years to calculate everything and there might even be mistakes. The experts of Dao Sect are experts in divination. We have to invite them. "
The Yankang National Preceptor's expression changed slightly. He felt that the list was heavy and weighed down on his hands.
Even with the power of the entire country, they could only create one Great Sun God Cannon!
Among them, the hardest to invite were the experts of Dao Sect. Old Dao Master of Dao Sect had once tried to assassinate Emperor Yanfeng and had almost succeeded. He had then coerced the former crown prince Ling Yuxia to rebel and almost proclaim himself emperor. After the rebellion was quelled, Emperor Yanfeng and Crown Prince Ling Yushu ruthlessly suppressed Dao Sect. Both sides were unhappy and were like fire and water.
It was very difficult to invite the experts of Dao Sect to help.
However, this kind of divine cannon had to be built; otherwise, they wouldn't have the power to defend against the next natural disaster!
He had yet to recover to his peak state, so who knew when the next natural disaster would come?
"The national treasury is empty, we don't have so much money."
Yankang National Preceptor probed, "Sacred Cult Master, can you give us a discount?"
Qin Mu calculated for a moment and said with a smile, "After the Golden Palace of Loulan is conquered, the National Division will allow me to choose a hundred treasures. I can fork out my own money to pay the salaries of the cult members."
Yankang National Preceptor planned to bargain, but Qin Mu said with a smile, "Heavenly King, I didn't even ask for my salary when I did the work myself. The price of inviting the number two heavenly worker in the world isn't small! What's more, I'm the Heavenly Saint Cult Master! "
Yankang National Preceptor sighed. "I shouldn't have agreed to be the heavenly king of Heavenly Saint Cult. Now my hands are tied and I can't bargain. I need to report this matter to the emperor and ask him to make a decision. Over the years, Yankang Kingdom has annexed other countries and wiped out numerous sects. There are some divine metals and divine materials in the national treasury, but we need the emperor's approval. Wait for over ten days, and the emperor's decree will come down. "
Qin Mu turned around to help forge God Heaven's Rings. He wasn't worried about the divine metals and divine materials and didn't feel there was anything precious about them. When he was forging his sword pellet, he had used quite a lot of these materials, which were all from the treasury of Heavenly Devil Cult. He had handed over all the cult legacy treasures he had to Heavenly Devil Cult's treasury.
He forged God Heaven's Rings with the scholars of Ministry of Works and Imperial College, and their speed was extremely fast. Speed was the most important thing in war, so if they only forged God Heaven's Rings, they would need to forge over seventeen thousand of them, which was also a huge project.
The God Heaven's Rings were connected to the formation markings of True Origin Cannon, and they could bind the true origin beams in the center of the cannon barrel without coming into contact with the cannon barrel. By condensing the true origin beams into the thickness of a bowl, the cannon barrel wouldn't heat up, and the black gold's fatigue and heat loss wouldn't exist.
The cannon light of True Origin Cannon was originally the thickness of a water bucket, but now it was the thickness of a bowl. Even though the area of attack had decreased, the range had increased greatly. Furthermore, they could fire as they wished without worrying about the cannon barrel exploding, turning the flying ship into a battleship in the sky.
Actually, the God Heaven's Rings weren't the biggest upgrade to True Origin Cannon. In Nine Heavens Eye Awakening Skill, God Heaven's Eyes was only the most basic pupil skill. The other eight pupil skills were much stronger than God Heaven's Eyes.
The strongest was the ninth layer of Fire Heaven's Eyes.
However, the formation markings of God Heaven's Eyes were the simplest and easiest to learn. It was also the easiest to forge and required the least amount of materials, so Qin Mu only imparted the formation markings of God Heaven's Eyes to everyone.
If it was Fire Heaven's Eyes, even Qin Mu wouldn't be able to forge one Fire Heaven's Ring in ten days to half a month. The formation markings of Fire Heaven's Rings were too complicated, and if they were used, the true origin beams would probably be shrunk into beams thinner than needles. The range would also increase greatly. However, the energy required to activate True Origin Cannon was also extremely huge, and the treasury probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
'If I could forge Fire Heaven's Rings and gather light into threads to form a killing formation, it would truly be indestructible. If I used it to protect the sacred ground, even an army with thousands of men and horses wouldn't be able to break through!'
Qin Mu calculated how much money would be needed to construct such a protective formation, and he immediately felt dejected. Heavenly Saint Cult could build it, but they couldn't afford to use it. The medicinal stones required to activate and maintain the formation were too much.
