Chapter 306: Rolling out the height, Qingyan presents the picture
In the alchemy cauldron, the heavenly and earthly evil energy boiled, collided, and exploded.
Outside the alchemy cauldron, the spellcasting movements of the Jiushan Sect's disciples were awkward, messy, and eye-catching.
But Madam Xuanhua didn't even move her eyelids, her gaze was fixed on the alchemy cauldron.
The expression on her face flickered with the light and shadow in the alchemy cauldron.
The feeling in my heart is more like the sound coming from the alchemy furnace:
Crackling and ding-dong, as if it was about to explode.
Doesn’t she understand what Zheng Fa is doing?
Of course I can understand it.
But the problem was that she knew too much about it! Refining external pills was not a difficult task for her. She had also practiced it for others before, and she was very familiar with the process:
First, you need to prepare a high-quality alchemy furnace. The shape, pattern, and material of the furnace cannot be wrong at all - it requires a skilled refiner to make it.
Some skills may be too little, and only a Jindan-stage weapon refiner can have this ability.
Next, you need to master various methods.
No, it's not just about being skilled, you have to make it an instinct.
Generally speaking, to reach this level, one must have at least Golden Core or Nascent Soul strength.
She also knew that some people might have to bathe and fast before refining this kind of treasure in order to calm their minds, or even obtain some kind of blessing from the unknown...
But what did Zheng Fa make? A thing so ugly that it couldn't even be called an alchemy furnace.
A group of disciples who seem to have not mastered the external alchemy techniques at all.
If these people were her disciples, she would not let them do this job! It's just like ordinary people building a house. They have to lay the foundation, then find wood for beams, transport soil and stones for walls, and hire bricklayers and carpenters...
But how did Zheng Fa do it?
He points to the mud pit your three-year-old built yesterday and tells you that the house is built.
The most important thing is that it can really be lived in! Looking at the familiar light and flame of the alchemy cauldron, Madam Xuanhua couldn't help but cover her chest.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yuying asked from the side.
Madam Xuanhua didn't say anything, but just continued to watch Zheng Fa and the others' actions, as if she was expecting something, but also seemed to be afraid of something.
She didn't speak, but Xiao Yuying spoke again:
"I understand that, too."
"Um?"
Madam Xuanhua couldn't help but turn her head and look at Xiao Yuying.
"It was broken."
“…”
…
Zheng Fa had no time to pay attention to the two spectators, his eyes were fixed on the alchemy cauldron.
This time, Zheng Fa divided the alchemy team into three parts, corresponding to the three levels.
Senior Sister Zhang has a very high level of control over the vital energy of heaven and earth, and is responsible for the first level - controlling the energy of the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Evils.
Because of his profound knowledge of thunder magic, Master is responsible for the second level, which is the most important content - controlling the fusion and fission process.
Zheng Fa was guarding the last level and mixing the new particles.
They didn't take any action, but just stood aside, responsible for covering for these disciples.
It's a nuclear reaction after all...
To some extent, Zheng Fa also regarded this experiment as an opportunity to train his disciples.
Uncle Pang's eyes flashed with silver light. He stared carefully at the reaction in the alchemy furnace and kept shouting:
“The first group!”
"Group Two!"
“…”
He has an excellent eye, and the method of connecting talismans has further honed his control over timing. It can be said that Uncle Pang is the metronome of the entire experiment.
Mrs. Xuanhua thought they were just children playing in the mud.
But Zheng Fa knew how much everyone in Jiushan Sect had prepared for this moment...
The spells in their hands are simple, but their coordination with each other is not simple.
From the three supreme elders to every disciple in the project team, they have all gone over in their minds what they are going to do thousands of times.
Just the connection between the groups, they tried it for dozens of days, just like training a relay.
Bathing and fasting?
Is this the respect for refining external elixirs?
No.
The respect of the Nine Mountains Realm comes from repeated training, repeated cooperation, and the pursuit of practice makes perfect until every second counts.
There is no metaphysics, only precision.
…
Three days later, the faces of all the disciples in the project looked pale, dry and tired.
But the light in his eyes was brighter than the "Shenxiao Waidan" in the alchemy furnace!
At the moment when the outer pill was formed, the yard was silent.
Even the sound of his breathing was very light, as if he was afraid of shattering the rumored indestructible external elixir.
Zheng Fa looked around.
Everyone's eyes seemed to be on him.
With one move, the Divine Sky External Pill fell into his hands. Even through the thick pill barrier, he could still sense its power.
"I declare that the first refining of the Divine Sky External Pill was successful!"
Everyone then started laughing.
Zheng Fa continued: "This shows that the fundamental principle of our Golden Elixir Project is correct!"
This is the reason why he refined this Shenxiao Waidan - compared to the Shenxiao Waidan itself, this is more like an experiment to verify his previous conjectures about the golden elixir.
"This also shows that you..." Zheng Fa looked at the group of tired disciples and said in a louder voice: "Incredible."
The disciples were stunned for a moment, as they did not expect that the master would praise them first.
"Senior Sister Zhang and I just put forward some ideas, talked about a few ideas, and maybe told you some principles."
"but……"
The Shenxiao Golden Pill in Zheng Fa's hand rose slowly, illuminating every disciple participating in the "Golden Pill Project".
"Jin Fan, you blew up your house in order to practice the second method... If it weren't for your good luck, I'm afraid you would be seriously injured."
"Zhu Hui, you are from the Hundred Immortals Alliance, but you have no prejudice against sects. You are willing to teach others what they don't know. I have learned a lot of knowledge about refining from you..."
"Mu Qingyan...you are the great contributor to this project. You have proposed many ideas to solve the problem and contributed several secret methods..."
“…”
Zheng Fa counted them one by one, where almost everyone came from, what contributions they had made, and how much effort they had made in private.
He seemed to know it all.
Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa and couldn't help but laugh softly.
She recalled what Zheng Fa had said to her in private before:
"External elixirs are treasures in the eyes of cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm. They are a boost to cultivation... Then this group of disciples are my external elixirs. If I can cultivate them, they will illuminate the entire Jiushan Realm."
It can be seen that Junior Brother Zheng’s words were not deliberate, but rather more like an outburst of emotions due to excitement.
After Zheng Fa finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I am too long-winded. Everyone is tired... From now on, Senior Sister Zhang will distribute the good deeds and rewards to you."
"Go back and rest."
…
After all the disciples left, Madam Xuanhua took Xiao Yuying and walked towards Zheng Fa.
"lady?"
"I want to learn the Golden Elixir Project. I wonder if Master Zheng agrees?"
Zheng Fa pondered for a while, and said honestly: "The Golden Elixir Project may seem like a course, but in fact, it requires learning other subjects first."
Mrs. Xuanhua had also seen the class schedule and understood it as soon as she heard it.
"How much does it cost?"
Zheng Fa smiled, and there were only two words in his expression - add money.
Madam Xuanhua thought about it, and suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "What if I am the same as Yuying?"
"Um?"
"I can teach the Art of Weapon Refining in the Nine Mountains Realm."
Zheng Fa's eyes suddenly lit up.
To be honest, the reason why he adopted that model just now was because the level of refining equipment and alchemy in the Nine Mountains Realm was too low.
The quality of this Shenxiao Waidan can also be seen:
He has simplified the process as much as possible, reducing many of the operational requirements.
However, the Shenxiao Waidan that he refined was only comparable to the lowest quality golden elixir, and was far inferior to Madam Xuanhua's craftsmanship.
What's more, the traditional weapon refining technique does not conflict with Zheng Fa's philosophy, but is the best nutrient...
Seeing his expression, Madam Xuanhua said, "The tuition you mentioned... plus the spirit stones I give you, should that be enough?"
When it comes to spirit stones, her face is full of distress.
Zheng Fa nodded, and thought in his mind - goodness, this Madam Xuanhua seems to be paid to work? Thinking of this, he felt a little apologetic in his heart...
But whether it’s “Golden Elixir Engineering”, “Electromagnetism”, or even “Mathematics”…
I'm afraid that a "Weapon Refining Method" is indeed not equivalent.
Apart from other things, there is more than one master of weapon refining, but the only one who can learn this knowledge, at least in the Xuanwei Realm, is the Jiushan Sect.
Thinking about it this way, Zheng Fa felt quite justified.
On the side, Xiao Yuying smiled and then stopped smiling...
She stared at Madam Xuanhua, frowning, with a sentence written on her face:
We are all migrant workers, why are you so competitive?
…
Mu Qingyan took a good rest for a few days.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
There was a loud knock on the door.
When I opened the door, it was my senior sister from the same courtyard.
"Qingyan! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Senior sister's face was red, her eyes were bright, and her tone was urgent.
"Senior sister?"
"Go to the Temple of the Sages!"
When she heard her senior sister's words, her heart skipped a beat, as if she understood something.
She did not doubt her senior sister's news - compared to her, who kept to herself because of the secret, her senior sister had a lively and enthusiastic personality and had many friends in the Baixian League.
Now I have also met many people in Jiushan Sect.
The senior sister pulled her and rushed all the way into the Temple of Sages.
Sure enough, there was a group of statues in the Hall of Sages.
This statue has the most people and appears the most majestic - a group of people are standing, looking up, looking at a round Shenxiao Waidan above their heads, as if they are looking at the rising sun.
Mu Qingyan saw her own face in the crowd.
She smiled like everyone else, seemingly without any concerns.
"Qingyan?"
"Um?"
"The way you smiled just now really looked like this statue!"
“…”
Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, as if she was thinking about something, and didn't speak again along the way.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After returning to the house, she tossed and turned in the room, thinking about it day and night, without closing her eyes for two days and two nights. Finally, she walked out of the door, crossed the Rainbow Bridge, stepped onto Wanxian Island, came to the door of the master's courtyard, and knocked on the door.
"Mu Qingyan?"
Seeing her coming to find him, Zheng Fa seemed a little surprised, but still let her into the yard.
Instead, Mu Qingyan whispered, "Disciple has something that I want to report to you privately, Master."
Zheng Fa looked at her, nodded, and the two of them walked into the study.
After entering the room, the two fell into silence, and Mu Qingyan's face was full of confusion.
Zheng Fa didn't seem to be in a hurry and didn't urge her.
After a long while, Mu Qingyan finally said, "Master, I know... information and news about a secret realm."
After she said this, she felt quite nervous.
The first reason why she went to find Zheng Fa was actually to avoid wasting the knowledge in her mind.
Just like Xiao Yuying said, she might suffer greater losses if she went out.
Especially after the success of "Golden Elixir Project", she became more and more aware of this.
What Xiao Yuying said at that time might be extremely correct!
But in the Jiushan Sect... one can only watch helplessly as some opportunities are missed.
She also felt it was a pity.
She had been thinking for a long time about revealing some opportunities to Zheng Fa and Jiushan Sect: the best thing would be to get some resources in return.
At the very least, although she got nothing, it was also a kind of repayment to the Jiushan Sect - after all, she was once a Nascent Soul, and understood the value of the Jiushan Realm courses better than others.
The most typical one is the "Golden Elixir Project".
The hesitation is naturally due to insecurity and even distrust of the Jiushan Sect.
It can even be said that with such a big secret, she doesn't even dare to sleep with others, let alone trust or not.
Up to now, she only dared to reveal information about a secret realm.
Even, if it weren’t for the Jiushan Sect, if it weren’t for the "Golden Elixir Project", the Hall of Sages.
If he were still in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
She didn't dare to say a word.
Zheng Fa looked at her, seemingly thinking about something.
Mu Qingyan became more and more nervous.
Zheng Fa suddenly turned around and took out a large stack of documents from a shelf nearby.
"Take a look."
Mu Qingyan lowered her head and saw the words "Archaeological Project Book Template" written on the cover of the document.
She had a strange feeling in her heart, so when she opened it, she found that it contained various project processes, including precautions for each link and a reward mechanism for good deeds.
Mu Qingyan looked at it for a long time, and suddenly understood what the master meant: "Is this considered...data collection?"
She thought about it and asked.
Zheng Fa nodded and said, "Come to think of it, you are not the first disciple who said that he has information about the secret realm. We, the disciples of Jiushan Sect, also have opportunities. Oh, Xiao Yuying also mentioned this."
“…”
Mu Qingyan felt as if all the air in her heart was about to be released... The Sect Leader didn't seem to care much about her information.
"You provide the relevant information, and we will conduct a value assessment. If this project is launched, we will give you a certain amount of good deeds based on your information."
“That’s the rule.”
"If you feel that the good deeds are not enough, keep this information. If you feel that it is enough, then inform the sect."
Zheng Fa's words had a sense of official business, but Mu Qingyan felt inexplicably relieved.
She was very interested in the project and asked, "Then... who will go to the secret realm?"
Zheng Fa did not hide it from her: "I want to cooperate with Fairy Xiao. We will provide intelligence and analysis, and she will lead the team entering the secret realm..."
"This...Is Fairy Xiao willing?"
Mu Qingyan couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Fa shook his head, not quite sure.
To be honest, going to the secret realm is the most risky, and Xiao Yuying is not short of secret realm intelligence...
If Jiushan Zong did not have some analytical ability, he would not have been able to convince Xiao Yuying of her confidence.
Seeing his expression, Mu Qingyan suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I know that secret realm very well..."
"Um?"
"Moreover, according to rumors, that secret realm is related to Venerable Tianhe..."
Zheng Fa's eyelids jumped, and he looked at Mu Qingyan with some surprise in his eyes.
He understood what Mu Qingyan meant - the more he knew about the secret realm, the less dangerous it would be to enter it, and the greater the possibility of obtaining good things.
On the other hand, what kind of person is Tianhe Zun? The value of the secret realm related to this person can be imagined.
I'm afraid Xiao Yuying would be tempted by this kind of information...
only……
He looked at Mu Qingyan, his mind full of thoughts.
Mu Qingyan lowered her head and grinned, secretly cursing herself: Do you really think you are a member of the Jiushan Sect? How can you say such nonsense? Unexpectedly, Zheng Fa was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Follow the rules, write down what you know in general, and if you are worried, don't write secrets."
Mu Qingyan couldn't help but look up suddenly.
Then Zheng Fa nodded at her.
…
As she walked back, Mu Qingyan's thoughts became even more confused——
What if the headmaster didn't notice anything wrong? Definitely not.
But he didn't seem to mind at all, and to be honest, it was great for her to follow the rules - it was a bit like she had a treasure that was priceless and everyone in the world wanted it, but she couldn't use it.
Now Zheng Fa told her, it’s not that I don’t care about your baby.
Instead, you buy it at a certain price. If you think the price is too low and you don’t want to sell it, then forget it.
It's clear, yet reassuring.
As I was thinking, I returned home without realizing it.
She fell on the bed and had a long-awaited night of good sleep.
…
Zheng Fa watched Mu Qingyan leave. He certainly knew that this person had hidden a lot of things.
But... he didn't care too much.
Naturally, he was tempted by the secret realm of Venerable Tianhe, but he would not break the rules he had painstakingly established just for this.
If Mu Qingyan could really have some practical advice, it would be much easier to convince Xiao Yuying...
Just as I was thinking about it, Xiao Yuying came.
She didn't come alone, she was accompanied by Senior Sister Zhang.
"Senior sister?"
Zheng Fa blinked, not understanding how these two people got together...
"Fairy Xiao came to me and studied the communication talisman..."
"Um?"
Zheng Fa was quite surprised.
He had cared about the communication talisman before, but most of his energy was focused on the "Golden Elixir Project" and he had no time to spare.
But he didn't forget about this thing.
Xiao Yuying seemed to have forgotten, or rather, didn't care. She just mentioned it casually that day and didn't actually understand how much importance Zheng Fa attached to this thing.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuying actually took the initiative to find Senior Sister Zhang to study the communication talisman...
He looked at Fairy Xiao, with a guess in his mind -
Was he involved in this incident with Madam Xuanhua?
"Fairy Xiao and I disassembled and analyzed the communication talisman..." Senior Sister Zhang explained: "According to the theory of the three sub-talismans, the communication talisman has a water sub-talisman, and the god name sub-talisman is nothing special. Only the last type of sub-talisman has a myriad of changes, and it seems to correspond to different cultivators."
Zheng Fa nodded.
"But one of the structures is very special." Senior Sister Zhang drew twice in the air. "If we use topology to analyze this structure, we will find that it exists in every communication symbol."
"I asked Fairy Xiao to sense it. Once I draw this structure, the electromagnetic field in the communication symbol will seem to remain stable."
After listening to this, Zheng Fa thought about it and understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant: "Senior Sister, are you saying that this spiritual power circuit can shield the interference of spiritual energy on the electromagnetic field?"
Senior Sister Zhang nodded and explained, "Based on my own analysis, the principle of the communication rune should be to transmit information through the electromagnetic field - and the rune has two functions:"
"Shield the interference of external spiritual energy on electromagnetic signals and avoid changes in the electromagnetic field during the transmission process."
"In addition, the most important function is encoding."
"Encoding?" Zheng Fa suddenly realized, "You mean, there are different symbol structures corresponding to different cultivators? The process of a cultivator receiving the communication symbol is equivalent to decoding?"
"Yes, this is what I thought of when I read the book "Code"."
Zheng Fa couldn't help but stand up, grabbed Senior Sister Zhang's arm, and said happily: "Senior Sister Zhang, you will go down in history!"
"?"
A question mark slowly appeared on Senior Sister Zhang’s face.
She was a little confused as to why Zheng Fa was so excited.
“Maybe, you will be known as the mother of the Internet in the eyes of future generations!”
“…”
Senior Sister Zhang curled her lips, seeming to think that the nickname was unpleasant. Xiao Yuying at the side was more interested and asked with interest: "What about me? Didn't I also contribute to this research?"
Zheng Fa took a look at her and knew that this so-called research required a corresponding understanding of symbolism, electromagnetism, information science and topology. It could even be said that it required an extremely high level of knowledge.
In the Nine Mountains Realm, only Senior Sister Zhang has this ability.
As for Xiao Yuying, she was probably just a sensor that shouted 666...
Facing Xiao Yuying's expectant gaze, Zheng Fa thought for a while and said:
"Maybe the Internet... Auntie?"
Senior Sister Zhang looked up and suddenly felt that her nickname was quite nice.
