Chapter 317 Xuanhua joins the gang, and the Hundred Immortals come

Fearing that Master Qian would say something more, Zheng Fa hurriedly sent him away.

He followed Senior Sister Zhang to the main hall of Tiangong Island. Senior Sister Zhang did not say much, but Zheng Fa felt a little guilty for some reason, so he changed the subject and said, "Master Tongming has replied to the letter. They are willing to pay with Tiangang Disha. If there is a shortfall, they can use spiritual stones and spiritual materials to make up for it."

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him and walked ahead without mentioning Tang Lingwu. She just nodded and said, "This is convenient."

Zheng Fa also thought it was a good idea, as it saved them the trouble of purchasing it themselves.

"They still have quite a lot of Tiangang and Disha." Thinking of this, Zheng Fa couldn't help but sigh.

"This is as it should be." Senior Sister Zhang nodded and said, "These days... many disciples of the Hundred Immortals League have died."

Senior Sister Zhang spoke slowly. Zheng Fa didn't understand at first, but later he understood. He felt a bit like hell in his heart: many people died in the Hundred Immortals Alliance... so some spiritual materials were left over.

Although the Hundred Immortals Alliance also lost a lot of resources, especially the spiritual fields, but the energy of the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Evils is something that most cultivators collect early in order to form pills...

Some monks will even prepare some for their younger disciples.

When those sects fled, it was difficult to take their spiritual fields and veins with them.

But this kind of thing is convenient to carry with you, so you won’t notice the lack of it for a while.

On the contrary, due to the deaths of many disciples... the energy of the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Evil has increased.

How to describe it? The person died, but the money was not spent.

It is precisely because of this that the Hundred Immortals Alliance may be more willing to use these temporarily useless spiritual materials to pay off their debts - before, they also sold a lot of Tiangang and Disha Qi.

Zheng Fa suddenly felt like he was making a fortune from an alliance...

"Then Madam Xuanhua, what are you going to do?"

Senior Sister Zhang suddenly asked again.

Zheng Fa was silent for a moment.

Madam Xuanhua...is quite important to the Nine Mountains Realm now.

The eleven new elixir methods need to be verified - this requires external alchemy experiments.

Although it is not impossible to establish the Jiushan Sect, it will definitely be very different with the addition of Madam Xuanhua.

That's a small matter.

Zheng Fa's natal magic weapon is what requires a master of weapon refining.

"After all, we have experience of cooperation before. It would be best if we can continue to cooperate." Zheng Fa said, "If not, we won't force it."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slowly.

"It's just as I thought. Madam Xuanhua is very capable and is friendly to us..."

"More importantly, she was alone."

Zheng Fa was stunned. It was not that he did not understand what Senior Sister Zhang meant, but... Senior Sister Zhang inexplicably thought of the same thing as him! Although he could not see through the meaning of the letter from the Hundred Immortals Alliance, it was still related to Jiang Chengkong.

It seems that even if the Nine Mountains Realm wants to live in peace, it may be unable to do so.

These days, Zheng Fa has been thinking about a question: Who is the enemy of Jiushan Sect, and who is the friend of Jiushan Sect...

Of course, because he had not investigated and the information was too little, he could only see things in a fog.

But on the other hand, Zheng Fa made some judgments: the Five Xuanwei Sects, plus the Demon Sect, are probably the forces that need to be guarded against the most - unless they are like Yan Wushuang and Old Han, who pick up the bowl to eat and put it down ready to overturn the table.

The reason for this, naturally, is not about good or evil, but because from the perspective of Venerable Tianhe, the new law and new order envisioned by Zheng Fa may not be accepted by these major forces.

From the Five Xuanwei Sects onwards, the major sects are actually worthy of vigilance: for example, the Hundred Immortals Alliance may accidentally reveal a background of Tai Shang Dao - but compared to the Five Xuanwei Sects, there is no need to worry so much. For example, the matter of the Tianhe Secret Realm was probably something the Hundred Immortals Alliance did not know about before.

Those who are more trustworthy are people like Madam Xuanhua, who do not have such close ties with various forces.

Of course, everyone has their own personality, and there are many people with bad character among casual cultivators.

But from the perspective of the new law, the hidden dangers are not that great.

Next are the Xuanwei mortals - they have not enjoyed any benefits in the Xuanwei Five Sects system. On the contrary, they have a hard life, so naturally they will not sincerely support the five major immortal sects.

The most trustworthy people are naturally the disciples and ordinary people of the Nine Mountains Realm.

This is why Zheng Fa's thinking is almost always to lay a solid foundation, from the bottom up...

Because he was worried about the people above! The most valuable thing about Madam Xuanhua was that she was not deeply involved with the major forces, but she was very capable.

He had recently come up with this idea and had never told anyone about it.

I didn't expect that Senior Sister Zhang would... point it out directly! Zheng Fa raised his eyes to look at Senior Sister Zhang, only to see Senior Sister Zhang glance at him with a meaningful look in her eyes...

"I think Madam Xuanhua is quite happy staying in the Nine Mountains Realm." Zheng Fa coughed lightly and said, "Why don't we take the eleven external alchemy methods to her first?"

Senior Sister Zhang smiled, probably understanding what was going on - this was another of Junior Brother Zheng's old tricks: the so-called temptation of knowledge.

But they are all quite effective.

…

There's no need to use the same old trick again! "Madam, what did you say?"

Zheng Fa was holding a jade tube in his hand, feeling a little confused.

"I... would like to be an elder of the Yijiu Mountain Sect. I wonder if the Sect Master would take me in?"

Mrs. Xuanhua thought about it over and over again these days and finally figured it out. She spoke directly to Zheng Fa.

Xiao Yuying, who was standing next to the two of them, had expected this - this woman had been thinking about it over and over for many days, and she was almost annoyed to death... Today she finally made up her mind.

"Forehead……"

Zheng Fa couldn't help but glance at the jade tube in his hand. Inside the jade tube were the eleven newly compiled external alchemy methods.

This thing was originally used by Zheng Fa to seduce Madam Xuanhua.

Can……

I haven't even taken off my clothes, and you...

Ah? He looked at Madam Xuanhua and saw that she looked calm, as if she had thought it through long ago, with a kind of calm determination.

As a result, Zheng Fa hesitated instead.

"Madam...can I ask why this is so?"

"To be honest with you, Master, I am coveting the Golden Elixir Project."

Madam Xuanhua said frankly.

"I will not hide the Golden Elixir Project from my wife."

"What about the principle behind the Golden Elixir Project?"

Madam Xuanhua smiled faintly.

“…”

Zheng Fa was silent for a moment. To be honest, he didn't want to hide it.

But Mrs. Xuanhua can’t learn this thing in a short time.

The knowledge required ranges from mathematics to physics and finally engineering...

It can be said that the brains of the "Golden Elixir Project" project team are still based in the modern era.

But he also understood what Madam Xuanhua meant. She was afraid that Zheng Fa was holding back against him.

This really overestimated my own brain and underestimated Zheng Fa's heart...

Zheng Fa was not angry. Madam Xuanhua was just inferring his thoughts based on the common sense of the Xuanwei Realm.

He thought for a moment and said:

"If you are from the Jiushan Sect, Madam, do you understand the rules of the Jiushan Sect?"

"Understand……"

Madam Xuanhua couldn't help but reveal a trace of pain on her face.

Zheng Fa knew why she felt so painful: because they were going to open up the Jiushan Sect and develop the Economic Development Island, Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang and the others had just worked out the rules for how to collect taxes and rents.

The regulations are roughly divided into two parts:

One is the consumption tax on Jingkai Island, which is very similar to the previous Jiushan Zongfang City.

Another thing that has existed before is the spontaneous transactions between the disciples of Jiushan Sect and the outside world...including transactions that are not conducted on Jingkai Island, which are also subject to tax.

In other words, as long as it is produced, you have to pay...

For each product, Senior Sister Zhang set the tax rate based on the internal situation of Jiushan Sect.

Simply put, VAT.

There are many reasons for this, the most important one is what Uncle Pang raised: the problem of spiritual energy consumption.

Whether it is drawing talismans or refining weapons, all that is consumed is the spiritual energy of the Nine Mountains Realm.

It was not so bad for the disciples of the Nine Mountains Realm. After all, the rules were not much different from those of the previous Nine Mountains Sect. Their ability to do business with the outside world was also due to the sect's training.

Whether it is the various knowledge on the University Island or the Nine Mountains Realm, this place where they can settle down, they are all priceless treasures in the Xuanwei Realm.

This is also necessary for the normal operation of the Jiushan Sect - to be honest, up to now, the Jiushan Realm's investment in disciples is getting bigger and bigger, but the returns are not very high.

But for Madam Xuanhua... this was like snatching meat from her teeth. After all, when she was doing business before, no one collected taxes from her.

Seeing her like this, Zheng Fa smiled and handed over the jade tube.

Madam Xuanhua took the jade tube, immersed herself in it, and began to read...

Slowly, a smile appeared on her face. When she opened her eyes again, the pain on her face disappeared. Her eyes were bright and she sighed, "It was only after seeing this that I realized that it was not a loss for me to join the Jiushan Sect."

Zheng Fa understood what she meant: the eleven simplified methods of the golden elixir method were naturally extremely precious.

But what Madam Xuanhua values ​​is actually the ability to optimize the Golden Elixir Method in batches! The principle of the so-called "Golden Elixir Project"!

This is the reason why Madam Xuanhua took the initiative to join the group.

However, Zheng Fa smiled and said, "This thing was actually discussed with Madam before... Even if Madam didn't join the Jiushan Sect, I would still give it to her."

Mrs. Xuanhua was stunned, with regret showing on her face.

It seems that he feels that he has lost out again.

"But there is one thing. If Madam is not willing to join my Nine Mountains, I will never show it to Madam even if I die."

"What?"

Madam Xuanhua was stunned for a moment and asked.

Zheng Fa did not speak to her again, but suddenly turned to Xiao Yuying and said frankly: "This matter is a top secret of my Jiushan Sect, so... I'm afraid I can't let you, Fairy Xiao, know about it."

Xiao Yuying: “…”

She silently took two steps back, and saw Zheng Fa smiling at her apologetically, and heading towards the University Island with Madam Xuanhua.

Watching the two people walking away, Xiao Yuying narrowed her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable...

I was here first!

…

What Zheng Fa wanted to hide from Xiao Yuying was really a top secret of the Jiushan Sect - he planned to try out an electron microscope in the Jiushan Realm... and even experimental equipment such as a particle collider.

Of course it wasn't possible at first.

But since Senior Sister Zhang and Xiao Yuying discovered the shielding rune in the communication talisman, this has become feasible.

Zheng Fa's idea is to create a Jiushan version of the experimental equipment based on the corresponding principles, combining thunder magic and weapon refining methods.

He didn't want to do anything unnecessary, but wanted to study the spiritual materials themselves. You have to have spiritual materials...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

What can be studied in modern times are the particles produced by his golden elixir, which cannot be compared with other spiritual materials.

Therefore, it is extremely necessary to analyze spiritual materials in the Nine Mountains Realm.

To be honest, this thing is considered high-tech in modern times, and it is not like the golden elixir that is native to the Xuanwei world...

Zheng Fa attaches much more importance to it than other...

When classifying all the knowledge of Jiushan Sect, there is some knowledge that Zheng Fa and Jiushan Sect will not pass on to others——

For example, the secret of the rocks obtained from the Tianhe Secret Realm.

For example, this new laboratory is being built, and the principles of various experimental instruments.

These are all top secret. Even in Jiushan Sect, it would be difficult for anyone below the Nascent Soul stage to access this information.

Frankly speaking, he trusted Xiao Yuying, but... Xiao Yuying had a master who was a spirit-transforming master, and he was not from the Jiushan Sect.

He handed several jade tubes to Madam Xuanhua.

Inside the jade tube are the principles and design ideas of various experimental equipment.

"Ma'am, what do you think?"

"I can roughly understand it, but I don't quite understand why..." Madam Xuanhua, "I need these things."

It was obvious that she was genuinely confused.

After all, the experimental instruments or ideas here are mostly used for observation, measurement and experimentation.

It is completely different from the idea of ​​magic weapons in the Xuanwei Realm.

Most of the magic weapons in the Xuanwei Realm are used for combat. Of course, there are some that are good at observation, but they almost always fall into the category of being helpful in combat - similar to a telescope.

However, the ideas for the magic weapons given by Zheng Fa do not have the slightest ability to fight, but they are full of the ability of observation and measurement.

This is what Mrs. Xuanhua doesn’t understand.

"Madam..." Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said to Madam Xuan Hua, "Observe, guess, and verify. This is the original intention of the immortal method of my Nine Mountains Realm."

“……”Mrs. Xuanhua was a little confused. After all, she was a newcomer.

Seeing that she was confused, Zheng Fa changed his words: "Madam is a master of refining weapons, so I dare to ask..."

"What are spiritual materials made of?"

"Why do magic weapons need spiritual materials to be made?"

"What is the difference between spiritual treasures and magic treasures?"

"And what is the difference between a life-defining magic weapon and an ordinary magic weapon?"

Madam Xuanhua stared at Zheng Fa blankly, her expression a little broken.

No, if I knew this, I would be here?

Can I change my name to Xuanhua Xianzun? "This is the tool I use to explore these issues..."

Zheng Fa pointed at the jade tube in her hand and said with a smile.

Madam Xuanhua's expression changed, and she actually understood a little: "Observe..."

Zheng Fa smiled and nodded.

Madam Xuanhua was silent for a while, as if she wanted to believe it, but also seemed not to want to believe it.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zheng Fa took out another jade tube.

"Also, here are some of my ideas...for your reference, madam."

"Imagine?"

Madam Xuanhua was stunned for a moment and found that Zheng Fa didn't care that much when he said this, as if the things in the jade tube were not that important.

But when she took the jade tube and looked at it, she was shocked. She felt that these things were much more intuitive than the various experimental instruments in the jade tube just now! "A train for mortals and low-level disciples?"

"A city that never sleeps?"

"A tool for the disciples to examine their bodies?"

“…”

Madam Xuanhua read as she read, and her voice became smaller and smaller at the end.

"This is……"

"These are just some random ideas of mine." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "I'm just showing it to you, Madam. If it works in the future, we'll give it a try."

With the shielding rune, Zheng Fa wanted to build not only experimental instruments but also many modern products in the Nine Mountains Realm - for example, install street lights in Banshan City and let the common people in the Nine Mountains Realm have a maglev train to ride.

Of course, some things among these are not suitable for the Nine Mountains Realm - the shielding talisman text has limited range and effect, and requires more spiritual power. It is not completely free of cost, and of course there are limitations.

Therefore, Zheng Facai said that these were just his fantasies.

Madam Xuanhua nodded slowly, and then heard Zheng Fa say:

"Madam, I have always believed that... the meaning of refining weapons should not be to kill people, but to make life better for the world."

"..." Madam Xuanhua was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

…

Because these things were top secret, even the jade tubes could not be taken out of the laboratory. Madam Xuanhua read the jade tubes over and over in the laboratory for more than half a month until she felt dizzy and returned to her own yard.

In the courtyard, Xiao Yuying was actually waiting for her.

"how?"

Seeing her covering her head and looking like she was about to explode, Xiao Yuying asked curiously.

"Tired! I've never been so tired in my life!"

It is not an easy task to make those jade tubes using thunder magic and refining equipment.

Especially those who are good at refining weapons in Jiushan Sect, that is, Madam Xuanhua... naturally, those who are capable will do more work.

"Then what?"

"I didn't know Zheng Fa had so many wonderful ideas."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yuying raised her eyebrows, not understanding what he meant.

"I should have made this decision earlier!" Madam Xuanhua suddenly laughed, "... Let me tell you, Zheng Fa..."

She seemed to want to say something, but then gently covered her mouth.

Smile embarrassedly.

Xiao Yuying rolled her eyes.

Madam Xuanhua sighed and said, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have bothered so much? Wouldn't it have been better if I had joined the Jiushan Sect earlier?"

“…”

Xiao Yuying stood up.

"I'm telling you, I finally understand what it means to give before you take... This time, I didn't lose out!"

"Hey, you wanna leave?"

Xiao Yuying frowned and didn't want to answer her.

"Let me tell you, you spoke in this tone before."

Xiao Yuying widened her eyes and pointed at herself.

Madam Xuanhua nodded slightly.

…

"You look so painful, do you have any composure? Do you understand what it means to give first before taking?"

In the sky, dozens of flying boats were heading towards the Nine Mountains Sect. On the most central building boat, Master Chengkong was holding a pot of spiritual bamboo while scolding Master Tongming, "Give them whatever the Nine Mountains Sect wants!"

"In the future, if the Jiushan Sect returns to the Hundred Immortals Alliance, wouldn't that be like transferring money from one hand to the other? Why be so stingy?"

Master Tongming was silent.

But he couldn't help but mutter in his heart - left hand to right hand? The Hundred Immortals Alliance is about to be handed over to them! "I know you are not convinced..." But he saw that Master Chengkong glanced at him again and snorted, "With Zheng Fa's talent, how could he take the Hundred Immortals Alliance seriously in the future?"

“…”

Master Tongming slowly widened his eyes.

"Once this matter is over, I will take him back to the Supreme Dao. Our Supreme Dao is so powerful, would he care about a small Hundred Immortals Alliance? Isn't this Hundred Immortals Alliance your world? It's just a name!"

Master Tongming nodded repeatedly. He looked at the spiritual bamboo in Master Chengkong's hand and asked curiously, "Master, what is this spiritual bamboo that you value so much?"

Master Chengkong thought for a while and said, "It's okay to tell you. This spiritual bamboo is called Qingjing Bamboo. It is a secret treasure of my Supreme Dao... It is the best to restrain the Great Freedom Demon Sect."

Master Tongming was startled and said hurriedly: "What if this spiritual bamboo is not good?"

"Then forget about the Hundred Immortals Alliance and think about how to escape."

“…”

Master Tongming looked at the sacred bamboo and felt that the yellow spots on the bamboo leaves were becoming more and more dazzling...
