Chapter 407 Elders' Joy, Xuanhua's Request

Zheng Fa felt that the look in Elder Xiong's eyes when he was looking at him was extremely foul.

Madam Xuanhua looked on, as if she was touched, as if she was thinking of the time when she first entered the Nine Mountains Realm. Her expression seemed to be saying - this Nine Mountains Realm is really a place where you can't leave once you come...

Elder Xiong lowered his head and carefully read through the several pill recipes in his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, "Why don't the Five Sects... want others to know about this Five Elements Orchid?"

Zheng Fa could see that although he was afraid, he also realized the value of the Five Elements Orchid - the Five Sects would not ban the import of a single weed.

"This item should be related to Venerable Tianhe."

Elder Xiong suddenly looked up, then lowered his head, and then looked up and lowered his head again. His eyes kept moving around the recipe in Zheng Fahe's hand, and it was obvious that he was very excited.

Maybe the chief elder of Qingmu Sect felt that he was being cheated, but Zheng Fa was quite calm... Wasn't it for this job that he recruited Qingmu Sect? Even this thing, if Zheng Fa really couldn't find a talent for alchemy, he wouldn't let Qingmu Sect see it - there are many people in Xuanwei Realm who seek wealth and fame in danger. If he offended the five sects, he could obtain the secret method of Tianhe Venerable...

I’m afraid there are many people willing to do so.

Even if he allowed Qingmu Sect to occupy the majority of the Alchemist Guild in the future, it was not charity, right? Zheng Fa felt that he had given money to buy his life!

You can't be loyal only when you're getting benefits!

Elder Xiong seemed to have figured this out as well, his expression showing pain mixed with happiness, as if he had boarded a pirate ship only to find that the cabin was filled with spirit stones, and a group of people were ready to divide the loot and asked him to join them.

He took two deep breaths and said, "What can I do?"

"I only have the recipe here, and I'm not sure which recipe it is... I don't even know if there is a recipe that can be used."

This is Zheng Fa’s helplessness.

After a search, they only got a few words.

They were not sure whether these pill recipes really contained the elixir that Venerable Tianhe had used in the past.

"So..." Elder Xiong understood, "I have to perfect the refining techniques of these elixirs first, and then find out which kind of elixir can be used?"

Zheng Fa knew that he understood.

To put it bluntly, the only clues about the elixir applicable to the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method" are these recipes.

That is, they roughly know the raw materials, but they can't even figure out the production process, let alone the finished product.

What Zheng Fa wants to do now is to use Elder Xiong and others' knowledge of alchemy to see if he can restore the production process - this is certainly not easy, but fortunately, this thing is, after all, a pill for the Jindan stage. For Yuanying stage people like Elder Xiong, they should not be out of their comfort zone yet?

But Elder Xiong obviously did not feel comfortable. On the contrary, his face was full of bitterness and he obviously wanted to back out again.

At this point Zheng Fa could understand him. Isn't this just like I have a good idea, but I just lack a programmer - Elder Xiong is this programmer. It is normal for a programmer to resist.

To be honest, Zheng Fa was a little afraid that this person would be passive and lazy:

They knew too little about alchemy, and the risk of this recipe was too great. What if in the future Elder Xiong brought people from Qingmu Sect and pretended to study the recipe but was not really serious about it? He even pretended to be serious and tried to fool himself, the Party A?

The people of Jiushan Sect couldn't see it either, so they could only be the scapegoats.

We still have to stimulate this person's subjective initiative...

"Elder Xiong, there is no upper limit to the investment our Jiushan Sect will make in the development of this elixir."

Zheng Fa was not lying when he said this.

This elixir is related to the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method", which is already the fundamental method of the Nine Mountains Sect.

But it's not just about Zheng Fa's baby-making.

Not to mention that "The Changes of Tiangang and Disha" is actually based on "The Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method".

According to Senior Sister Zhang, this is the place where the Nine Mountains Sect is located, and no one can stop it! Elder Xiong pulled the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and he seemed to be only slightly comforted.

"In addition... Elder Xiong, if you complete the development of the elixir, my Jiushan Sect will have a large reward for your good deeds." Zheng Fa added: "Of course, this good deed is also to buy out the patent rights of these elixir formulas..."

At least in the early days, Zheng Fa still had to control this kind of elixir recipe.

Otherwise it would be easily exposed and known to the five sects.

Elder Xiong nodded, but he didn't seem to be moved. He just shook his head and said frankly: "What good deeds? I don't have much time left, so I don't really care..."

"It would be nice to leave it to Aoki-sensei."

Zheng Fa smiled and said, "What if I say that good deeds can be exchanged for divine resources?"

"Transformation into a Spirit!" Elder Xiong's eyes suddenly widened, "The Jiushan Sect is willing to teach me the method of Transformation into a Spirit?"

He did not seem to doubt that the Jiushan Sect had this method - in the eyes of outsiders, the Jiushan Sect was a sect on par with the Five Sects.

only……

The method of transforming into a spirit is never passed on lightly.

But Zheng Fa knew that his own method of becoming a god had not been created yet. Now the old man was still staying in the retreat room, and the pie that Zheng Fa had drawn had not yet been baked by him.

Just by looking at the fluctuations of spiritual energy, his transformation into a spirit was going smoothly.

If it really doesn't work, then passing on Elder Xiong's "Great Freedom True Dharma" is also...

Elder Xiong, who was quite calm just now, was breathing rapidly at this moment, and seemed to be very moved...

No monk wants to die of old age.

There is no Nascent Soul that does not want to become a God.

What Elder Xiong didn't expect was that the opportunity to achieve spiritual enlightenment, which he was about to give up, would actually appear in front of him!

The secret method of Tianhe, the opportunity to become a god.

These two things seemed to have ignited Elder Xiong's eyes. He held the recipe in his hand and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, leader... I will do my best in my life!"

Seeing that he was really moved, Zheng Fa felt relieved. He pointed to Madam Xuanhua and Jiao Wuji and said, "Xuanhua and Jiao Wuji helped you in developing the pill formula this time."

Elder Xiong looked even more confused.

Madam Xuanhua is an expert in weapon refining.

Jiao Wuji is even a great demon who has transformed into a spirit.

But do we need them to study the recipe? Zheng Fa took out a jade tube from his arms, handed it to Elder Xiong, and said, "Elder, you are new to Jiushan, and you don't know the research system of Jiushan, especially... Jiushan also has some ideas about the research of alchemy."

Elder Xiong's expression changed and he looked unhappy. It was as if he felt that as a professional, he had to be guided in research by a group of laymen, which was really aggrieved.

But he was not a real bear after all. Instead, his expression returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He took the jade tube and looked at it carefully.

He read for a while, and his expression improved a lot: "I just need to make my own pills?"

"Yes." Zheng Fa nodded and said, "What we want to do is just to record the process of your alchemy, Elder Xiong, and then analyze the finished product."

"What's the use of this?"

"If you want to learn, I will teach you."

Elder Bear didn't look like he minded.

But I doubt the usefulness of these operations.

He even thought that Zheng Fa was trying to steal Qing Mu Zong's skills.

Zheng Fa thought about it, and felt that it was impossible to explain it clearly without words, so he simply smiled and said, "I can't test the medicine myself, right?"

That's true.

This alchemy experiment must ultimately verify the efficacy of the medicine.

Currently, the only one who practices "Jiushan Golden Elixir Method" in Jiushan Sect is Zheng Fa.

Given Zheng Fa's timid...cautious personality, he would never try out the medicine on himself.

At this time, the roles of Madam Xuanhua and Jiao Wuji came into play.

According to Zheng Fa's idea, Madam Xuanhua will combine the "Golden Elixir Project" with the elixir refined by Elder Xiong to see if it works.

To put it simply, when using the "Golden Elixir Project" to simulate the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method", try adding the elixir to see if it will cause changes in the spiritual materials.

This is equivalent to an in vitro experiment.

As for Jiao Wuji, he is currently training some monsters to use for animal experiments. Although these monsters cannot practice the Nine Mountains Golden Pill Method, they can at least prove that the thing will not kill people...

Madam Xuanhua is responsible for verifying the medicinal properties of the elixir, and Jiao Wuji is responsible for verifying the safety of the elixir.

Only after these two verifications will Zheng Fa take the medicine personally.

After Elder Xiong understood, the way he looked at Zheng Fa changed.

After figuring out the pill formula and the contents of the jade tube, he took Zhao Jingfan to the medicine garden, ready to collect some necessary herbs. Halfway there, he suddenly laughed.

It was the kind of laughter that couldn't be suppressed. After holding it in for a long time, it really couldn't be suppressed anymore.

"Grand Elder?"

"...I have never seen anyone who is so careful when taking a pill..."

"Are you talking about Zheng Fa, Elder?"

Zhao Jingfan was confused. Is this really that funny? "Why record my alchemy process? Aren't you just afraid that I'll do something wrong? After the elixir is made, I need to do another experiment. Zheng Fa is really too... uh, cautious."

Zhao Jingfan wanted to defend Zheng Fa, but when he thought of Zheng Fa's past behavior of not wanting to stand out, he really...

It's hard to speak against one's conscience.

“That’s a good thing!”

Unexpectedly, Elder Xiong praised him instead.

"ah?"

"We have joined the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and this elixir violates the taboos of the five sects... If he is not careful, I am afraid he will drag us to death with him."

When Zhao Jingfan heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and then he heard Elder Xiong continue to sigh:

"This is... the wise Lord!"

Zhao Jingfan felt something was strange. Is this the clear leader?

When he looked up, he saw Elder Xiong looking at the Jiushan Sect's medicine garden full of spiritual herbs with a silly smile on his face. He immediately understood in his heart... Who could make Elder Xiong waste these spiritual herbs at any cost?

Who is the wise leader! From Elder Xiong's perspective, joining the Jiushan Sect is really a good deal: there is an unlimited supply of spiritual medicine, the secret medicine of Tianhe Zun can be studied, and there is even a chance to become a god...

The only drawback is that it is easy to be killed by the Five Sects.

But what happened was that Elder Xiong didn't have much time left...

I was about to die, how could I die a second time? No wonder I couldn't even hold back my laughter.

Looking at Elder Xiong who was becoming happier and even had a look of happiness on his face, Zhao Jingfan couldn't help but have an idea: he didn't want to be a traitor anymore.

But the Great Elder seemed to have some thoughts... He didn't know if his own leader could handle it.

…

Zheng Fazhen didn't know Elder Xiong's happiness.

"Master, the thing in the jade tube is not as simple as your fear of death, right?"

Madam Xuanhua suddenly asked, with some expectation in her eyes, as if she didn't want to ask this.

"Oh? Xuanhua, what do you think?"

Zheng Fa looked at Madam Xuanhua.

Jiao Wuji also looked at Madam Xuanhua curiously.

Now, this woman is the head of Tiangong Pavilion. In Jiushan Sect, she is in a high position of power. Especially in recent days, it seems that her power is only slightly lower than that of Zheng Fa and Zhang Wuyi.

Although he and Venerable Xuehe were both incarnated gods, their status was somewhat awkward—after all, they were captives.

It can even be said that they are still Zheng Fa's slaves. They are inevitably curious and even dissatisfied about the status of Madam Xuanhua, who is in the Nascent Soul stage.

It's not just him, either.

There was actually some discussion within the sect: on the one hand, Madam Xuanhua was an outsider.

On the one hand, the other party has too many disciples under his control.

Today, Gongkai Island is home to almost all of the sect’s most elite disciples.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Naturally, some people in the Jiushan Sect were dissatisfied.

Madam Xuanhua seemed not to notice Jiao Wuji's gaze and said to Zheng Fa:

"I thought... the master wanted to reshape the way of alchemy."

Zheng Fa nodded. Everyone knew about this.

The Alchemist Guild is a new thing.

Jiao Wuji couldn't help but reveal some contempt on his face.

Madam Xuanhua said, "Or, in other words, we should start from the way of our Jiushan Sect and establish a new way of alchemy for our Jiushan Sect."

This is quite interesting.

"The way of the Nine Mountains Sect?"

Zheng Fa looked at Madam Xuanhua with a more calculating look in his eyes.

"I thought the way of the Nine Mountains Sect was just about repetition."

"repeat……"

Jiao Wuji was a little confused.

But Zheng Fa looked at Madam Xuanhua with a slight sigh.

He didn't expect that Madam Xuanhua did have some insights of her own.

The Jiushan Sect's weapon refining, or in Zheng Fa's mind, scientific experiments themselves, are essentially repetition.

Scientific theory itself is a kind of causal relationship.

The experiment is actually a verification of this causal relationship.

Based on past experience, certain theories are summarized, and through this theory, experiments are designed... to repeat the phenomena in experience.

To put it simply, all experiments are about repeating a phenomenon under different conditions and finding the most essential condition.

"So, Master, you really want to learn secretly..." Madam Xuanhua continued, "But what you want is not only Elder Xiong's own secret method, but all the data in the process of refining the elixir..."

"With the data, we can construct an environment to reproduce this elixir."

"In the future, we can even say that our research on each type of elixir will be more precise and even more essential."

Madam Xuanhua had a strange expression on her face: "In the end, I'm afraid our alchemy method is more effective than their authentic one..."

Zheng Fa suspected that Madam Xuanhua was in the Cricket Tianhe Sect...

"Master, you want much more than Elder Xiong wants."

When Jiao Wuji heard this and looked at Madam Xuanhua again, there was some enlightenment in his eyes - he now understood why Zheng Fa wanted to hand over such an important Tiangong Pavilion to Madam Xuanhua.

Zheng Fa was helpless...

This Madam Xuanhua really sees through me.

After all, what he is doing now is to collect data through Elder Xiong's alchemy project.

In Zheng Fa's view, alchemy is nothing more than the study of raw materials, environment, technology and medicinal properties.

The Jiushan Sect was relatively weak before, mainly because it had too little experience.

In this cooperation with Qingmu Zong, Zheng Fa not only wants to collect the experience they themselves know, but also wants to collect some experience they don’t know so as to incorporate it into Jiushan’s research system.

Even Zheng Fa knew very well that personal experience was unreliable in many ways.

To put it simply, he was trying to learn by stealing, but what he was stealing was a treasure that Elder Xiong himself didn't even know about...

"Xuanhua, you are indeed the most suitable person to be in charge of Tiangong Pavilion..." Zheng Fa also felt that Madam Xuanhua talked a little too much this time, as if she wanted to prove something, so he simply comforted her, "Those rumors in the sect are just because they don't understand you."

"It will eventually dissipate."

Madam Xuanhua was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I don't care about this."

"Um?"

"Master, everyone calls me Madam Xuanhua, do you know who my husband's family is?"

Zheng Fa shook his head.

He had indeed never met Madam Xuanhua's husband's family.

I didn’t ask…after all, it’s easy to imagine.

"My husband died when I was in the foundation-building stage."

"Um?"

Zheng Fa looked at Madam Xuanhua, wondering why she was acting abnormally today.

"At that time, he was also a Jindan cultivator. His ancestors passed down a secret weapon refining method and he was somewhat famous."

“…”

Zheng Fa's expression was a little strange, this story sounded a little familiar.

"Then a true disciple of the Chongxuan Sect wanted to seize the secret technique and framed my husband, saying that the secret technique was secretly learned by my husband from the Chongxuan Sect. He even led people to ambush my husband... My husband was seriously injured in order to protect the secret technique."

"But the Hundred Immortals Alliance has become notorious for its calls for war and killing."

"In the end, he had no choice but to pass on the secret method to me, and died in depression."

Zheng Fa was quite calm when he heard this. To be honest, there were many such things in the Xuanwei Realm.

Because he was Madam Xuanhua's husband, he asked one more question: "What about the true teachings of the Chongxuan Sect?"

"He is already the Grand Elder of Chongxuan Sect."

Sounds familiar. Very familiar.

"So, Madam, you..."

"It's been three thousand years. I actually forgot what my husband looked like..." Madam Xuanhua shook her head, but she was honest, and said, "But all my skills are from my husband."

"so……"

Zheng Fa thought that Madam Xuanhua wanted to take revenge.

"Master, when you destroy the Chongxuan Sect and obtain their secret weapon refining method..."

"ah?"

"I have always thought that I cannot let my husband bear a false reputation in vain... After we have studied their weapon refining methods and turned them into a stronger and more powerful secret method of our Jiushan Sect, we will present it to the Grand Elder of Chongxuan Sect."

Zheng Fa thought for a long time and finally understood. What Xuan Hua was looking forward to was actually the idea of ​​secretly learning the secret alchemy method of Qingmu Sect!

And he wanted to use this trick on Chongxuan Zong! Zheng Fa looked at Madam Xuanhua. Although the woman was smiling, there were many things in her eyes...

Have you forgotten? If you have forgotten, do you still want to kill someone by destroying their heart first...

Even before... Madam Xuanhua had such skills, but she had always kept her distance from all the major sects. Zheng Fa now understood why.

But Mrs. Xuanhua said she forgot, so let her forget it.

Anyway, he never took the Chongxuan Sect seriously.

After all, with my modern self, the one that I can control the most is this kind of weapon-refining sect.

…

"This is?"

In the modern nursing home, Team Leader Yang looked at a thick stack of documents and said in confusion:

"I need to contact various major mechanical design institutes..."

“Mining talent…”

"Shipping talents..."

"Textile industry, food processing industry..."

The first five-year plan did have foreign aid.

It is naturally impossible for Zheng Fa to fight alone.

With this kind of external aid, Chongxuan Sect... is really not taken seriously by him.

Team leader Yang looked at the overwhelming work demands and felt that he could hardly breathe.

"This... all came to the nursing home?"

There are too many people.

"No...we place the order."

"Order?"

Tang Lingwu, who was standing behind Zheng Fa, took a step forward, with the heroic spirit of the chairman of Jiushan Grain Company.

“We have money.”

She thought about it and repeated it.

"Very rich."

Team Leader Yang knew how much money Jiushan Grain Company made... She looked down at the document and for a moment she felt that some industries seemed to have welcomed the God of Wealth.
