“Luo Zixin?”
Ke Lan Su recognized this with some surprise.
This is a type of metal material, extremely rare, to the point that it is basically non-existent.
Moreover, this thing serves a somewhat singular purpose, being extremely useful only to the Su Clan, and its high price is meant to exploit the Su Clan.
Because it is the primary material for creating 'law models'.
Before the adaptable formations appeared, there were indeed people looking for ways to solve the Su Clan's issues in battlefield encounters. They were both trying to maximize the power and functionality of their formations, and at the same time seeking methods to fight like other warriors.
But the reality is that, aside from a very few combat-oriented warriors like Zhou Su, other Su Clan members are quite lacking in talent, almost to the point of being… foolish.
In their quest to find solutions to the law formations, there have always been two approaches. One is to fundamentally solve the combat methods of the Su Clan; these individuals study the physical structure and energy systems of Su Clan members, going so far as to dissect countless tribe members. Others delve into the techniques of various clans, hoping to find something suitable for Su Clan cultivation.
The other direction is to find breakthroughs in the formations, seeking ways to increase their power while also looking for methods to quickly set them up.
This latter direction has been the focus of many years of research for the Su Clan.
After all, once there is a breakthrough in this area, it would directly solve their problems.
Yao Han Su is actually one of those focused on this aspect; the adaptable formation essentially came from the perspective of quickly setting up formations.
Before the adaptable formations appeared, the greatest achievement of the Su Clan was the birth of the 'law model'.
This thing is complex to create but can be described simply; it involves making the basic outline of a formation in advance, and when needed, the formation core can be inserted.
The law model doesn't fundamentally solve the problem, but it can greatly enhance the speed of setting up formations. If they encounter a battle in the wild, they would only need to maintain it for a moment to set up the formation.
Although maintaining it for that moment still incurs a great cost, it is certainly better than the previous defeats.
For a long time, the law model was quite popular; had it not been for the lack of Luo Zixin, it would have continued to be in high demand.
When the law model is formed, it needs to enable the energy to flow accurately and not dissipate too quickly, while also ensuring it can be activated smoothly when the formation core is inserted.
Thus, the requirements for the manufacturing material are very high, and Luo Zixin is something discovered by the Su Clan after many years of experimentation.
However, because the law model is a consumable, it cannot be used again after a single use, and the activity of Luo Zixin would also disappear. Therefore, when the Su Clan began to buy up this already scarce metal, prices rose dramatically, eventually reaching outrageous levels.
Due to the limited resources controlled by the Su Clan, to acquire Luo Zixin, they could only be extorted. During those years, the other two major factions made so much money from the Su Clan that they would wake up laughing in their dreams, while the Su Clan seemed to be drinking poison to quench their thirst, unwillingly bearing the burden.
Until, eventually, Luo Zixin was no longer available even to the other two factions…
Luo Zixin is actually very heavy. The piece Ye Zhongming took out looked small but weighed over thirty pounds, enough to create dozens of small law models, or a dozen medium-sized law models, or one large law model.
“How much of this do you have?” Yao Han Su’s voice was low, but he was quite excited inside.
He naturally leaned towards helping Ye Zhongming, even if he couldn’t gain anything temporarily. However, if he could receive corresponding benefits, that would be ideal. He is, after all, the leader of the Su Clan, and then a leader who needs to save the Su Clan.
