Chapter 364: It’s too late to re-refine the magic weapon

On the Jiushanjie University Island.

The "Golden Elixir Project" project team, together with Senior Sister Zhang and others, held their breath, looking at Zheng Fa and Madam Xuanhua with anticipation.

"The 33rd experiment of "Tianhe Sword Art"!"

Zheng Fa's voice also sounded a little tired, but his tone did not seem discouraged by his repeated failures. As soon as he finished speaking, Senior Sister Zhang's eyes lit up with a silver light.

According to the hypothesis that the spirit and soul are the medium for the combination of spiritual energy, they came up with a guess - there were too many people involved in the refining of the external elixir, which resulted in the redundancy of the spirit and soul and the inability of the five elements to combine.

In these thirty or so experiments, there were fewer people involved, or in other words, only three: Madam Xuanhua, who was mainly responsible for modifying the structure of the alchemy furnace and improving the overall experimental plan.

Senior Sister Zhang is responsible for observing and recording experimental data and phenomena.

As for Zheng Fa, he is the main force of the experiment because of his extraordinary spiritual power and the fact that he knows the Shenxiao Waidan best.

The other disciples were not idle either, although their main focus here was still on studying.

But at the same time, they will also help Senior Sister Zhang analyze the data and provide some ideas for improvement.

In the previous thirty-two experiments, several were close to success but failed at the last moment.

After each failure, Zheng Fa would take a break, while Madam Xuanhua and the disciples would be busy modifying the experimental plan, the structure of the alchemy furnace, and the selection and order of the magic formulas.

No one complained, because everyone knew how powerful the magic they were studying was.

And how shocking is their research method, unprecedented in the world of Xuanwei! What makes them even more excited is that everyone has a feeling - they are close, they are very close to success!

Even in the last experiment, there was a phenomenon of the Earth Element and the Wood Element combining briefly.

Zheng Fa looked at the "alchemy cauldron" in front of him. This "alchemy cauldron" had grown longer.

In the past, this Tanghulu Danding had only three compartments, but now there are three more, piled on the ground. After looking at it for a long time, it actually looks pleasing to the eye.

He exhaled lightly, and pinched the magic formula in his hands, and his soul flowed into the alchemy cauldron along with the heavenly and earthly evil energy.

The flames lit up.

The first warehouse is normal.

There was no problem with the second and third warehouses - this was the process of refining the Shenxiao Waidan, and Zheng Fa was already familiar with it.

But the reaction of the three warehouses behind was an improvement of another golden elixir refining method within the sect. Zheng Fa's eyes became more and more focused, and the spiritual power in his body carefully merged with the external elixir slowly in the cauldron.

The University Island became increasingly silent; even the sound of the wind seemed harsh.

Only the muffled sound from the alchemy cauldron struck everyone's heart.

Until Zheng Fa opened his eyes, Senior Sister Zhang, Madam Xuanhua, and all the disciples of Jiushan were looking at him.

He curled his lips and laughed: "It's done!"

"It's done!"

The silence was broken by cheers.

The overjoyed disciples of Jiushan shouted loudly. Zheng Fa saw Mu Qingyan jumping and looking at him, and couldn't help but give her a smile - Mu Qingyan has performed well in the sect during this period. Not only is she a fast learner, but in this research on "Tianhe Sword Art", many of her ideas even gave Madam Xuanhua a sense of enlightenment.

However, Mu Qingyan looked at him strangely, as if she was very conflicted.

Zheng Fa saw Mu Qingyan leaving with the other disciples and shook his head. He didn't care much about this person's strangeness - in the Nine Mountains Realm, he still had some confidence.

What's more, he has known Mu Qingyan for a long time that she has some secrets, and now it seems that she can't hold it back any longer.

Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Zhang and Madam Xuanhua beside him, and discussed the experimental data for a long time before following Senior Sister Zhang back to his own quiet room.

"Are you ready to try this Tianhe Sword Art?"

Senior Sister Zhang suddenly asked.

"Now that I understand how to upgrade the Shenxiao Golden Core, I want to give it a try. It seems that this technique has very high requirements for the soul. I am the most confident in the Golden Core stage."

Zheng Fa said frankly.

He is far superior to ordinary golden elixir. If he can't do it, then this golden elixir method is useless.

"Shenxiao Golden Pill..." Senior Sister Zhang thought for a moment, "Have you ever considered not calling it Tianhe Sword Art, or even "Nine-Transformation Golden Pill Method"? "

Zheng Fa immediately understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant. Firstly, although the current research was derived from Tianhe Sword Art, most of its core was Jiushan Sect's own.

Tianhe Sword Art is essentially a method of sword refining.

As for the name "Nine-turn Golden Elixir Method"...

The problem is that this stuff is a bit taboo.

The inheritance in the rock is the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method".

Master Chengkong is using it to fish!

Changing your name can indeed save you a lot of trouble.

What's more, they are definitely not genuine...

Senior Sister Zhang added: "From now on, the path before the Golden Core, and even before the Nascent Soul, our Jiushan Sect is actually consistent and unique. We have our own new path."

I'm not bragging.

The Jiushan Sect’s foundation-building method is the “Fudao Foundation-Building Method”.

To form the elixir, one relies on the "Golden Elixir Project".

Refining treasures. Now there is a pirated version of "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method" - seven parts of the secret method of this method come from the Golden Elixir Project, two parts of the true meaning come from "Talisman Foundation Building Method", and one part comes from the Tianhe School or Tianhe Venerable, which may be the concept.

What Senior Sister Zhang said made Zheng Fa fall into deep thought.

Changing the name would reduce a lot of trouble. If Jiushan Sect is happy, maybe... Tianhe Sect will be happy too? I have to ask Yan Wushuang.

"So what name do you think is good, Senior Sister?"

"This method was born out of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method. To show respect, I think we should take a few words from this name and combine it with the name of our Jiushan Sect..."

"Hmm...how many words?"

"Well, Venerable Tianhe is worthy of respect. Let's take more, four words. I think... the Nine Mountains Golden Pill Method is not bad!"

“…”

That’s right, I can’t see any connection with the “Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method” at all!

Seeing Senior Sister Zhang turning around and walking into her own yard with a smile, Zheng Fa smiled and shook his head. Senior Sister Zhang seemed to be much more lively than before, and even a little like Senior Sister Yuan.

Thinking of Senior Sister Yuan, Zheng Fa remembered that he seemed not to have seen her for some days.

I don't know what I'm busy with.

He didn't care too much, walked into his own courtyard, and sat cross-legged in the quiet room for practice.

Zheng Fa first glanced at the small human figure in the golden elixir, thought for a long time, and then turned his gaze to the Jade Book of Creation.

He had been thinking that the Nascent Soul was actually also a combination of spiritual material particles produced by the Golden Elixir. Would this Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method... the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir Method, have any impact on the Nascent Soul?

He had thought about this since he understood the principles of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method.

Later, he specifically asked Yan Wushuang and found that the Nascent Soul method in their sect seemed to be no different from that of other sects.

This means that either Venerable Tianhe has his own secret method of Nascent Soul formation and has not passed it down.

Or maybe…even Venerable Tianhe didn’t realize this! After all, Venerable Tianhe’s understanding of the principles of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method might not be as profound as that of the Jiushan Sect—at least if the Spiritual Element Cycle Theory was discovered, it would be impossible for it not to be passed down.

He wanted to practice the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method", but more importantly, he wanted to test the effect of this secret method to see if it could help him condense his Nascent Soul.

His cultivation was not slow, and one could even say it was very fast. However, the current situation was unclear, and his cultivation was actually holding him back.

Of course, he didn't dare to attack his Nascent Soul right away.

Zheng Fa's mind moved, and the Jade Book of Creation drilled into the golden elixir in his dantian from his sea of ​​consciousness.

He sat on the cushion, his fingers like swords, pointing directly at the nine orifices of his body - this was the secret method of the nine orifices that Madam Xuanhua deduced through the alchemy cauldron.

After all, a cultivator cannot grow three new warehouses in his body, so he can only build a new reaction workshop by tempering the acupoints, or in other words - train the nine acupoints in his body into alchemy furnaces.

This is not difficult. After all, after the golden elixir is formed, it can produce spiritual materials by itself. Zheng Fa even built an elixir cauldron in modern times...

Zheng Fa took a deep breath, and the golden elixir in his body slowly rotated in the nine orifices, tempering the Jade Book of Creation.

Half a day later, the Jade Tablet of Creation flew out from Zheng Fa's Dantian, shining with a rich golden light - this was the power of the Jin Xingzi Talisman.

The spiritual materials that make up the Jade Book of Creation are mostly of the earth element, and earth produces gold. Among these earth element spiritual materials, there are now gold element talismans, but they are different from the past.

Zheng Fa's mind moved, and the Jade Book of Creation suddenly turned into dozens of golden blades and flew towards the sky outside the yard.

"Flying sword?" Yan Wushuang's voice came from outside the yard, "Zheng Fa, are you ready to practice swordsmanship?"

Zheng Fa shook his head, and the Jade Book of Creation flew back into his hand and turned into the shape of green jade again.

Yan Wushuang walked in and understood immediately. He opened his mouth with a dull expression: "Success?"

"Um."

Zheng Fa took a look at the Jade Book of Creation. This Jade Book certainly couldn't match the attacking power of the Tianhe Sect's flying sword, but it was sharper than before and could be used to kill people.

Of course, Zheng Fa was reluctant to do so. Fortunately, the biggest improvement in the Jade Book of Fortune was its defense. With the addition of the Gold Symbol, the Jade Book seemed to be a little harder than before. So, did that mean the stability of the server had increased?

At least the computer room won’t explode.

The most important thing is that there is a lot more spiritual energy in the Jade Book of Creation. In this way, this thing can connect to more comprehensive records.

Even the shopping mall and online teaching website that Zheng Fa had always wanted to create can be slowly tried out.

Yan Wushuang’s expression was hard to describe. His eyes were a little dim as he looked at the golden light on the Jade Book of Creation. He wanted to ask something, but seemed discouraged and didn’t want to ask anymore.

The expression is very conflicted.

After a while, he calmed down and asked, "When did you succeed?"

"About three days ago."

“…”

"Three days... against..."

"What's wrong?"

Yan Wushuang shook his head and looked at Zheng Fa with an extremely strange look. After a long while, he said, "Your method... shouldn't be called "Nine-transformation Golden Elixir Method". You must never use this name outside..."

"Um?"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid my father and the elders in the sect won't be able to bear it..."

Zheng Fa didn't expect Yan Wushuang to say the same thing.

Senior Sister Zhang said this naturally for the safety of Jiushan Sect and to reduce some trouble.

"It's better not to show it in front of my senior sister..." Yan Wushuang warned again, "Otherwise, I'm afraid something will happen to my senior sister!"

Ah? Are you worried that something might happen to your senior sister?

Isn't it my Jiushan Sect that has an accident? ...

Zheng Fa felt that Yan Wushuang was acting strange today. He shook his head and asked, "Brother Yan, when we have completed our research and compiled the Nine-Turn...Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method, we will give you a copy then."

Today's Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method is actually not as good as Tianhe Sword Dao. Tianhe Sword Dao has at least the level of the second turn of Golden Elixir Method, while the Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method has only achieved the first turn.

But Zheng Fa and Yan Wushuang both knew that after breaking through the first level, subsequent research would become a thousand times easier.

"Give me?"

Yan Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then spoke, with an expression of disbelief and surprise on his face.

"You... I, I didn't really want it that badly, can I not..."

He spoke incoherently.

"Well, Brother Yan, you participated in the research. Based on your contribution, you can get a share of the results."

This is the current rule in the Nine Mountains Realm. After all, anything else would not be enough to inspire the disciples’ motivation to study.

Yan Wushuang has made a significant contribution.

Even without that secret book, this project might not even be launched.

Not to mention he also demonstrated the sect's secret techniques.

"Of course, you still have to sign some confidentiality agreements, Brother Yan."

Yan Wushuang pursed his lips and nodded vigorously. After holding it in for a long time, he whispered, "I will definitely not tell you!"

"I believe you..."

Zheng Fa patted Yan Wushuang on the shoulder and smiled - after all, this man was almost becoming a professional spy in order to pass messages to him.

He added: "In fact, when my Jiushan Sect becomes stronger in the future, it's not impossible to tell..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"ah?"

"It is not a good thing to cherish what you have."

Zheng Fa needs to keep it secret now, but in fact, he is more afraid of trouble. He is afraid of the trouble with the Five Xuanwei Sects and the trouble with the Tianhe Sect. Ultimately, it is the trouble with Venerable Tianhe.

But if possible in the future, he would like to make Yan Wushuang's affairs public and attract more cultivators with background to join Jiushan Sect.

The silly second generation encounters the Jiushan Sect and restores the secret methods of their predecessors to make up for the sect’s regret of millions of years.

What great promotional material! It's really a great story of sect cooperation!

Yan Wushuang stared at him blankly, and suddenly he understood—Zheng Fa was different from the Xuanwei cultivator, and the Jiushan Sect was also different from the Xuanwei Sect.

…

Yan Wushuang happily returned to the Tianhe sect’s base. Xie Qingxue was in the yard with an irritable look on her face. Seeing his silly smile, she became even more angry.

"You went to the Nine Mountains Realm again?" she scolded. "The situation is unclear now. Why don't you stay here and practice hard? Why do you keep going to the Nine Mountains Realm?"

Yan Wushuang shrank his neck.

"Those who know you say that you are the true disciple of Tianhe Sect and the son of the Sect Leader. Those who don't know you would think you are from Jiushan Sect!"

Yan Wushuang lowered his head and muttered softly after hearing this: "How can such a good thing happen..."

"What did you say?"

Xie Qingxue stared, not hearing clearly what he said, or rather, not quite believing what she heard.

Yan Wushuang shook his head. Seeing her expression, he knew that this senior sister was in a bad mood, so he asked, "Senior sister, who made you angry?"

"Who else?" Xie Qingxue cursed, "Qingping Sword!"

"This Qingping Sword keeps buzzing... I think there's something wrong with it!"

Xie Qingxue said depressedly.

Yan Wushuang started to wonder when he heard this, and asked, "Can this Qingping Sword sense the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill Method?"

"That's right! The Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method is the founder's fundamental method, and the Qingping Sword is the founder's portable magic weapon before he attained enlightenment. In other words, it was refined by the Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method..." Xie Qingxue explained, "Only by fully understanding the Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method can the power of the Qingping Sword be fully unleashed."

After hearing this, Yan Wushuang fell into deep thought.

"It's just... I seem to have reached a bottleneck."

“Senior Sister…”

Yan Wushuang suddenly spoke.

"ah?"

"I will cherish the Qingping Sword in the future!"

"……Um?"

…

Zheng Fa was continuing to study the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method" in the laboratory when he received a message from Master Cheng Kong.

Great Sage Qingyun—Paying homage to the mountain! He winked at Senior Sister Zhang, and the two of them walked out of the Nine Mountains Realm together.

"This Great Sage Qingyun probably came to prove his innocence..."

Zheng Fa guessed.

"Not only that, he may also want to ask for help or join forces."

Zheng Fa nodded secretly at what Senior Sister Zhang said.

The Blood Evil Flag disappeared, and the biggest suspects are the Seven Great Saints of the Demon Clan, followed by the Netherworld Immortal.

As far as Zheng Fa knew, Master Chengkong and Abbot Mingde had been contacting the Seven Great Sages, trying to find out the truth. He didn't expect that Great Sage Qingyun would come directly here - there were eight or nine immortal gods on Tongming Mountain!

The fact that the Great Sage Qingyun went up the mountain alone this time was either because he was extremely bold or he really had no choice.

Zheng Fa took Senior Sister Zhang to the main hall of Tongming Mountain. Along the way, they met many disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

Changed.

A few days ago, when I just came back from Donghai County, the atmosphere in the Hundred Immortals Alliance was full of jubilation.

Even though those below the Nascent Soul stage were unable to attend the celebration banquet, the festive atmosphere would naturally infect these low-level disciples.

The disciples of Tongming Mountain were particularly happy and could not stop smiling every day.

But this time when we went up the mountain again, everyone's face was gloomy.

Zheng Fa understood it as soon as he thought about it - although the news of the loss of the Blood Evil Flag had not been fully spread, the operations of the major sects on Tongming Mountain now showed no signs of being strange.

On the one hand, the various gods were in a bad mood, and these cultivators were not blind, so who couldn't see it? On the other hand, the most critical thing was that the disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and even the disciples of many other sects, were sent every day to search for traces of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.

Who wouldn't know something was wrong?

The Great Freedom Demon Sect has been defeated, what are you still searching for?

Master Chengkong and his companions had no other choice as they were afraid that there would be another blood sacrifice somewhere in the mortal world, so they could only let these monks keep an eye on it.

The problem is…no.

Many disciples were scattered around, but they found no trace of the Great Freedom Demon Sect monks.

Passing through the sad and confused disciples of Tongming Mountain, Zheng Fa led Senior Sister Zhang and the others into the main hall.

In the hall, the five sects’ deities were all there, and the Great Sage Qingyun was standing in the hall.

As soon as Zheng Fa entered the hall, he felt the atmosphere was even more tense and heavy than outside the hall.

Not only did the five sects' gods have very dark faces, but the Great Sage Qingyun, who was so elegant the last time they met, became panic-stricken and anxious when they met again today.

Zheng Fa sat next to Master Tongming and asked him what happened with his eyes.

Master Tongming shook his head and just looked at the Great Sage Qingyun.

"The loyalty of the Seven Saints to the Immortal Sect is evident to all. It is impossible that we took the Bloody Evil Flag!"

Zheng Fa grinned. Loyal? If there is anyone in this temple who believes in this, this incarnation is a gift from God!

But the head of the Mingde Sect nodded slowly and asked directly: "It's not you, so do you know who took the Blood Evil Flag?"

"have no idea……"

The Great Sage Qingyun shook his head, and his next words made Zheng Fa understand why these people looked so dark, "But Master, what I just said is true. Someone should be refining the fifth blood evil flag!"

Zheng Fa pinched his eyebrows.

This news is so bad.

"How did you find out?"

The head monk Mingde seemed to have digested the news and asked in a cold voice, "Head monk, please understand." The Great Sage Qingyun said in a low voice, "Since we received the news from your sect, we have also been shocked and suspicious. We first thoroughly investigated the Seven Holy Heavens to see if there are any remnants of the Great Freedom."

"There are no more demons practicing the Great Freedom Magic in the Seven Holy Heavens."

Everyone understood what Qingyun Great Sage meant - it really wasn't the work of the seven great sages.

"Then what?"

“Then, we thought about checking the sea area.”

"Sea area?"

"Yes, we contacted many great demons and asked them to check the human race on the islands in the area."

Now everyone understood.

According to the Blood River Ancestor, in order to refine the Blood Evil Flag, one must have the essence and blood of the human race, and the quantity must be extremely huge.

Be it the Netherworld Immortal or Jiao Wuji and the others, they were causing chaos in Dongzhou all because of this matter.

Therefore, after hearing that the Blood Evil Flag was lost, Master Mingde and his men not only kept an eye on the population under the jurisdiction of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, they even sent messages to the other immortal sects, asking whether there had been a large number of mortals missing.

Four of the five Xuanwei sects issued a joint order, and at least in the mortal world of Dongzhou, there are not many blind spots, which can be said to be comprehensive.

The problem is... there are human beings on the sea!

"The Blood Evil Flag requires so much human blood!" said the leader of Mingde angrily, "Can the human race on the island gather enough?"

The sea area is the territory of the demon clan, therefore, the human race in the sea area is too scarce. Jiao Wuji and his companions wanted to go ashore at that time because it was too slow to collect mortals from one island to another, and the longer they stayed, the more trouble they would have.

"The human race on thousands of islands has disappeared..."

The voice of the Great Sage Qingyun was full of bitterness.

"Thousands of islands? Are you all blind?" The leader of Mingde was obviously unable to hold back, "You didn't notice anything?"

“This…” Great Sage Qingyun sighed, “My demon clan doesn’t care about those mortals. We even have a great demon that has been sleeping in the sea for hundreds of years. It’s normal for them to be slow to find out.”

"It's impossible that we didn't find any of them, right?"

Master Tongming couldn't help but speak.

"We later investigated and found that the person who kidnapped the mortal was very good at hiding. Some of the great monsters in my monster clan are as powerful as you, the leader, but... they didn't find out at all."

The face of the Mingde leader darkened, but he uttered a word softly: "Is it really that evil disciple?"

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and knew that Master Mingde was referring to the Netherworld Immortal Qin Mu. You know, Master Mingde has always had a special way of sensing the Netherworld Immortal, but now he has been searching for more than a month and found nothing.

Now I heard from the Great Sage Qingyun that the man had an amazing method of hiding himself.

He naturally thought that Qin Mu had used some extraordinary secret method and was completely out of touch.

Xie Qingxue frowned and said, "In that case, let's go to the sea to search again... Since they only dare to hide in the sea, I'm afraid their strength is not as strong as we thought. As long as we can find them, it's not too late!"

"Great Sage Qingyun, you must contact the sea monsters and dig up the ground to find the Netherworld Immortals!"

Everyone else was cheered up and felt that this statement made some sense.

Zheng Fa shook his head slightly and asked Qingyun Great Sage a question: "How many people did they kidnap? When did the last batch disappear?"

"As for the number of people, there are at least 800,000 to 900,000. We estimate that there should be more than a million people." Qingyun Great Sage thought for a moment and answered honestly, "The last time they disappeared was... half a month ago."

"One million people, half a month..." Zheng Fa lowered his eyes and sighed, "It's too late."

"According to Jiao Wuji and Xuehe, these mortals and time are enough to refine another Blood Evil Flag."
