While the tournament was still going on in full swing outside, Zhao Hai was hiding in the Invisible Valley alone and started refining. Of course, his so-called refining was done by the Processing Machine. In addition to the optimal metal ratio produced by the Processing Machine, his refining this time was very easy.
However, it wasn't correct to say that it was easy. At the very least, the design of this large instrument was designed by Zhao Hai. Furthermore, this Giant Spirit Treasure Ship was designed by Zhao Hai according to the design of the Giant Spirit Treasure Ship from the Ming Dynasty in China. However, it didn't have a mast or a cannon. Zhao Hai was the one in charge of all the magical arrays used in this treasure ship and the design of the interior.
Although this didn't seem like a lot of work, Zhao Hai had a lot of things to do. Therefore, Zhao Hai was now holed up in the Invisible Valley every day. This made one person very anxious. This person was none other than Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng was humiliated by Zhao Hai's people during the tournament. Naturally, he wouldn't let Zhao Hai off so easily. Therefore, he ordered people to keep an eye on Zhao Hai. Other than Ban Li, Ye Tiancheng didn't discover any other friends of Zhao Hai. Since Zhao Hai was holed up in the Invisible Valley every day, it was impossible for Ye Tiancheng to take revenge even if he wanted to.
Ye Tiancheng had been an elder in the Black Tiger Gang since he was young. He knew very well that the disciples with positions in the Black Tiger Gang couldn't be killed casually. Even if he was a genius and was highly valued by the gang, it wouldn't be easy for him to kill Zhao Hai. If the gang really pursued the matter, his future as a genius would be ruined.
There was never a lack of geniuses in the Cultivation World. Everyone who became an inner court disciple was a genius in a certain way. Ye Tiancheng was also just one of the geniuses, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
However, if Zhao Hai left the Black Tiger Gang, he could do whatever he wanted to Zhao Hai. The gang wouldn't pursue the matter too much for an outer court disciple. Unfortunately, Zhao Hai didn't come out. This made Ye Tiancheng gnash his teeth in hatred.
However, he felt relieved after giving it some thought. Who was Zhao Hai? Ye Tiancheng was merely a war slave who had been banished to a place like the Invisible Valley. It would be very difficult for him to make a name for himself in this lifetime. It was truly not worth it for him to compete with such a person. Once he thought this through, Ye Tiancheng felt a little calmer instead.
The only person who disturbed Zhao Hai didn't come to disturb him anymore. Naturally, Zhao Hai felt more relaxed. He studied the large artifacts in the Invisible Valley every day and was free and unfettered.
In fact, Ye Tiancheng should be glad that he didn't make a move on Zhao Hai. If he really did, he would've been dead a long time ago. Zhang Feng and Han Ren knew about the conflict between Ye Tiancheng and Zhao Hai. Both of them were paying close attention to Zhao Hai, so naturally, they were also paying close attention to Ye Tiancheng. If Ye Tiancheng really did make a move on Zhao Hai, neither Zhang Feng nor Han Ren would let him go.
Zhao Hai also didn't participate in the competition outside. The Black Tiger Gang's competition was different from other places. After the first round of the competition, the people who were eliminated would go through a few more rounds of competition to determine the worst ten people. The rest would be the competition for the top ten places. No one cared about the rankings in the middle, so there was no need to compete.
Zhao Hai naturally didn't participate in the competition. Even if he did, there was no need for him to compete. He could only watch from the sidelines. Zhao Hai didn't have the leisure to watch from the sidelines. Therefore, even though the entire Black Tiger Gang was in an uproar because of this competition, Zhao Hai didn't appear.
After another seven days, the outer sect competition finally ended. Ten outer sect cultivators entered the inner sect as they wished and became inner sect disciples. Among these ten people, there was the one-armed cultivator who fought against Zhao Hai in the second round.
That one-armed cultivator had a nickname in the Black Tiger Gang, Wild Blade Dugu Yin. The injury on his face was caused when he was out on a mission and met a cultivator from the Raging Flame Sect. The two of them didn't get along and started fighting. The other party was much stronger than him. In the end, one of his arms was chopped off and his face was scratched. Only then did he manage to escape with his life. Dugu Yin saw this as the greatest humiliation of his life, so he didn't treat the injury on his face and trained hard with his left hand. Finally, he obtained third place in this competition and successfully became an inner disciple.
Of course, Zhao Hai didn't care about this. To him, it didn't matter who became an inner sect disciple. After entering the inner sect, one would only receive some cultivator resources. Those things weren't attractive to Zhao Hai at all. Only the power of faith was attractive to other cultivators. However, it wasn't attractive to Zhao Hai at all.
As for Zhao Hai's Dharma Idol, this wasn't a problem at all. Zhao Hai had already cultivated 36 Dharma Idols. Among them were the Amukong Dharma Idol, the 18 Arhat Dharma Idols, the 12 Zodiac Dharma Idols, and several other Mysterious Gate Dharma Idols. If Zhao Hai were to use all of these Dharma Idols, then his fighting strength would be very formidable. Therefore, the cultivation method of the dharma wasn't attractive to Zhao Hai at all. It can be said that the entire inner sect of the Black Tiger Gang was no longer attractive to Zhao Hai.
The only place that attracted Zhao Hai's attention to inner court disciples was the Scripture Pavilion. The Black Tiger Gang's Scripture Pavilion was a specialized and independent department. It had its own rules regarding what jade slips the odd job disciple could see, what jade slips the outer court disciple could see, and what jade slips the inner court disciple could see. There were very strict rules regarding what jade slips the inner court disciple could see, what jade slips the outer court disciple could see, and what jade slips the inner court disciple could see.
The Hidden Scriptures Pavilion was the only place that attracted Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai wanted to see what was inside the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion of the Black Tiger Gang.
However, the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion of the Black Tiger Gang wasn't a place that could be seen just because one wanted to. The security was very strict. Even Zhao Hai didn't dare to rashly use silver needles to probe for fear of being discovered.
The inner sect disciples of the Black Tiger Gang could only move around in the lower three floors of the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion. The entire Hidden Scriptures Pavilion had a total of seven floors. Only the core disciples and the elders could move freely in the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion. Therefore, the attraction of the inner sect disciples to Zhao Hai had been reduced to the lowest.
Zhao Hai was very clear that if he wanted to enter the inner sect now, there wouldn't be any problem. If he wanted to enter the inner sect, he could do so in any competition. Even if it wasn't during the competition, as long as he showed his strength, he could easily enter the inner sect. However, he had just entered the world of cultivation for a few months. If he entered the inner sect so quickly, then it would be too eye-catching. Therefore, it was better for him to be an outer sect disciple for now.
After the outer sect competition, it was time for the inner sect competition. The inner sect competition was similar to the outer sect competition. The only difference was that there were fewer inner sect disciples. Moreover, the inner sect disciples were much stronger than the outer sect disciples. Therefore, the inner sect competition was much more interesting than the outer sect competition.
The Inner Disciple Great Competition could also be watched by others. Therefore, the Inner Disciple Great Competition was even more lively than the Outer Disciple Great Competition. Not only the Inner Disciple Great Competition, but also the Outer Disciple Great Competition. Almost all of the Outer Disciple Great Competition came to the Traveling Mountain to watch.
Zhao Hai also wanted to see the level of the inner sect disciples of the Black Tiger Gang. Therefore, on the first day of the inner sect competition, he was also present. However, after seeing the level of the inner sect disciples, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel disappointed. This was because the level of these inner sect disciples wasn't very good. Some of them couldn't even condense their dharma idol. Although they were stronger than the outer sect disciples, but they were still far from what Zhao Hai had expected.
After watching the inner sect competition for a day, Zhao Hai returned to the Invisible Valley and didn't go out. The inner sect competition lasted for more than ten days. However, Zhang Feng didn't participate in the inner sect competition. His status as the number one inner sect disciple was only for outsiders to hear. His treatment was almost the same as the top ten core disciples. Moreover, his strength was almost the same as the top ten core disciples. Therefore, it was impossible for such a person to participate in the inner sect competition unless the Black Tiger Gang members were crazy.
However, the last few rounds of the inner sect competition were really worth watching. The disciples who participated in the competition were already at the Gold Core stage. Each and every one of them had condensed their dharma idols. Their strength was not to be underestimated. Finally, they had the appearance of an inner sect disciple. But even so, Zhao Hai didn't go to the platform. He sat in the guest room and watched the entire competition. He found out that none of the inner sect disciples were his opponents.
Because Zhang Feng didn't participate, Zhao Hai didn't know what level Zhang Feng was at. However, Zhao Hai was sure that Zhang Feng's level was much higher than the inner sect disciples. If they really fought, Zhang Feng wouldn't be any worse than Huo Yun.
What made Zhao Hai surprised was that he didn't see Han Buli in the inner sect competition. It seems like the Dark Department had a lot of privileges. They didn't even need to participate in the competition.
Of course, it was also possible that Han Buli participated, but his performance was too inconspicuous. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't see it. Recently, Han Buli didn't come to the Invisible Valley. Zhao Hai also didn't contact him, so he didn't know what Han Buli was busy with.
However, Zhao Hai didn't take the initiative to contact Han Buli. Han Buli's identity was quite special. If Zhao Hai contacted Han Buli, then it might ruin his plans. Therefore, Zhao Hai generally waited for Han Buli to take the initiative to contact him. The Dark Department had always been mysterious. Therefore, Zhao Hai was very careful in this regard.
The Inner and Outer Sect Competitions were already over. The Black Tiger Gang was only left with the Core Disciple Competition. However, outsiders couldn't see the Core Disciple Competition. Therefore, Zhao Hai decided to be honest and put all of his energy into refining large artifacts.
The large artifacts that Zhao Hai wanted to refine weren't in one piece. He wanted to use the Giant Spirit Treasure Ship's method to divide the large artifacts into components. After refining them, he would assemble them together. Although it wasn't as strong as a single large artifact, as long as it was done well, it wouldn't be too bad. The most important thing was that the large artifacts that were assembled together were much easier to repair after being damaged. The broken pieces could be removed and replaced.
However, when assembling this artifact, there were a lot of things that needed to be done. One had to ensure the strength of the artifact, as well as to protect it. After being damaged, one had to quickly replace it.
In the beginning, Zhao Hai welded the two components together. However, after thinking about it, he realized that this wouldn't work. Once the artifact was damaged, it would need to be cut before it could be replaced. This wasn't very convenient.
Finally, after experimenting with cold drinks, Zhao Hai thought of a method. This method was inspired by Zhao Hai when he was looking at some old furniture in China. Zhao Hai had seen some old furniture in China. Whether it was a bookshelf, a bed, a table, or a chair, there weren't any nails. They were all connected using the traditional mortise and tenon method. However, they were very strong. After being used for many years, they weren't damaged at all.
Zhao Hai wanted to use this method on the ship. He wanted to see if this method would make the ship sturdy. And it turned out that this method was completely feasible. The mortise and tenon method was very suitable for large artifacts. With some special treatment, not only would it be very strong, but it would also be very convenient to disassemble the damaged parts after being damaged.
After confirming this point, the manufacturing speed of the large artifact naturally sped up. But then another problem appeared, and that was the problem of the arrangement of the Spirit Array.
On such a large artifact, there were countless formations. Zhao Hai was prepared to use some three-dimensional formations on this large artifact. But when these formations were arranged, they needed energy lines in the middle to connect the nodes of the entire formation together. This way, the formation would be able to display its full potential.
If the energy lines in the middle were broken, then the impact on the array would be very big. If Zhao Hai used the mortise and tenon method to assemble the artifact, then the continuous pulling of the energy lines would become a problem. This was because the energy lines of the array were very thin. As long as there was a slight dislocation, there would be no way to connect them. If the connection couldn't be made, then the array wouldn't be able to display 100% of its power. This would have a huge impact on the entire large artifact.
In the end, Zhao Hai had no choice but to make some special designs on the connection points. After some careful calculations, these problems were finally solved.
After all of this was solved, ten days had passed. At this time, the entire Black Tiger Gang had returned to their calm state. The storm of the competition was finally over. Those who didn't level up still had to live their own lives, do missions, and cultivate. Everything was back on track. As for Zhao Hai, no one came to look at him.
Five days later, Zhao Hai finally succeeded in making the large artifact that looked like Zheng He's treasure ship. After testing it and finding no problems, Zhao Hai took out a jade sword message and sent it to Zhang Hao. If Zhang Hao and Zhang Feng had time, then they should come to Unseen Valley.
Zhang Hao knew that Zhao Hai was preparing a gift for Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng didn't. Because of this, when Zhang Feng received the jade sword message from Zhao Hai, she was somewhat bewildered. She didn't know what Zhao Hai wanted. Therefore, she immediately took care of the matter at hand and led Zhang Hao to Unseen Valley.
