Night Wind's words deeply moved Bauhinia.
Zijing opened her mouth wide, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
Ye Feng turned to look at Xu Ping'an and said, "Did you deliberately show me this set of spiritual artifacts?"
"Of course! If I didn't want to show them to the city lord, why would I take them out?" Xu Ping'an said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Could you give me the blueprints for this magical artifact, as well as the array diagrams within it?" Ye Feng asked.
"That depends on how much benefit you can offer me, Lord City Lord," Xu Ping'an said, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
Without hesitation, Ye Feng said, "I will establish a spiritual medicine research institute in Xinluo City, along with a spiritual medicine processing plant. And you, Elder Xu, will be the director of the spiritual medicine research institute and the factory manager of the spiritual medicine processing plant!"
"Which department am I under?" Xu Pingan asked.
It seems Xu Ping'an had already heard about the Foreign Affairs Department and the Agriculture Department, otherwise he wouldn't have asked this question.
Ye Feng said without hesitation, "The Spirit Medicine Research Institute and the Spirit Medicine Processing Plant are temporarily under the Logistics Support Department and are managed by Director Luo Lin."
“No problem, I accept!” Xu Pingan nodded without hesitation.
Night Breeze nodded in satisfaction and asked with a smile, "Now can you tell me about the set of magical artifacts you've developed? I'm very curious about them."
"It's my pleasure."
Xu Pingan cupped his hands and said, then pointed to the spirit-gathering array below and said, "This is the spirit-gathering array. Its function is to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to power these spiritual artifacts. As for the furnace in the center, I call it the Spirit Medicine Reaction Furnace. As long as you put in spiritual herbs, it can refine them into medicines."
"That can't be right. As far as I know, different methods are needed to refine different spiritual medicines. Surely your set of spiritual artifacts can only refine one kind of spiritual medicine, Rejuvenation Powder?" Zijing asked loudly.
Xu Pingan said, "Of course, my set of spiritual artifacts can not only refine Rejuvenation Powder. It can also refine various common spiritual medicines, such as Qi Nourishing Powder and Mind Calming Powder, as well as dozens of other spiritual medicines."
"Different methods are needed to refine different spiritual medicines, and this spiritual artifact is the key."
As Xu Ping'an finished speaking, he pointed to the square spiritual artifact next to the spiritual medicine reaction furnace.
This magical artifact had about a dozen small mechanisms that could be activated, and each mechanism had words written on it.
True Fire, Heavenly Wind, Cloud Clear... Ye Feng immediately understood the meaning of these names.
True Fire represents the True Fire Smelting Method, Heavenly Wind represents the Heavenly Wind Cold Refining Method, Cloud Clarity represents the Cloud Clarity Condensation Method... In other words, as long as you activate the corresponding mechanism, you can use the corresponding method!
Night Breeze chuckled and said, "You've quite a few alchemy techniques at your disposal."
Xu Ping'an must have mastered these alchemy methods, which is why he was able to study them and integrate them into spiritual artifacts.
It must be said that Xu Ping'an's thinking was truly ingenious.
"Thank you for your praise, City Lord. I will call this magical artifact the Dharma Selection Device."
Xu Pingan laughed and pointed to a cylindrical spiritual artifact next to him, saying, "This spiritual artifact is the key to controlling the entire set of spiritual artifacts. It has effects such as start, pause, and stop. It is the control center of the entire set of spiritual artifacts. I call it the Spirit Demon Master Controller."
"sharp."
Night Breeze nodded.
He wasn't just being polite; he genuinely believed it.
Although Xu Ping'an's cultivation level was not very high, his alchemy skills were not top-notch.
But the fact that he was able to integrate his alchemy techniques into a magical artifact and develop such a set of magical artifacts that can refine magical medicines is truly amazing.
"With this set of spiritual tools, even those who are not alchemists can use it to refine spiritual medicines. However, refining spiritual medicines is a complex matter, and accidents may occur if someone who knows nothing about spiritual medicines tries to do it, so it is best to find an alchemist to do it," Xu Ping'an said.
Zijing muttered to herself, "Then what's the point? In the end, we still have to rely on the alchemist."
"Even low-level alchemists can use this set of spiritual artifacts to refine high-level spiritual medicines, and a single alchemist can operate several or even a dozen such sets of spiritual artifacts at the same time."
"In fact, even if you are not a martial artist or a qi cultivator, or a pharmacist, as long as you learn and master the knowledge of the pharmacist field, you can operate this set of spiritual artifacts."
Ye Feng explained to Zi Jing very seriously.
Xu Ping'an clapped his hands and laughed: "The city lord indeed has excellent judgment!"
Zijing shut her mouth and remained silent.
She suddenly felt that she was so stupid in front of these two people; she could hardly understand what they were saying.
"Old Xu, you have made a great contribution. You will be a hero of our Xinluo City," Ye Feng said earnestly.
Xu Pingan suddenly sighed, a look of sadness on his face.
"Why is that, Elder Xu?" Ye Feng asked in confusion.
Why is this old man unhappy when he's being praised?
Night Breeze thought to himself, and Xu Ping'an shook his head and said, "I can't help but feel a little emotional when I think about what happened in the past."
"What happened before?" Night Wind asked.
Xu Pingan pointed to the set of magical artifacts and asked, "Lord City Lord, do you know when I developed this set of magical artifacts?"
"Isn't it just recently?" Night Breeze asked tentatively.
“Thirty years ago, I developed this set of magical artifacts, and at that time I was a member of the Hongtian Empire's Alchemist Association,” Xu Ping’an said emphatically.
Thirty years ago!
Xu Ping'an actually researched and developed this set of magical artifacts so long ago!
Night Wind was shocked, and Bauhinia was also startled.
Xu Pingan continued, "After researching this set of spiritual artifacts, I found my master with great anticipation. At that time, my master was the vice president of the Spiritual Medicine Master Association in the capital of the Hongtian Empire."
"I showed him my set of magical artifacts, but Lord City Lord, do you know how that Vice President, who is also my master, evaluated them?"
Night Wind remained silent, but he had already guessed the outcome.
As expected, Xu Ping'an wore a smile that was more like a grimace, and said with a sigh, "He said that the set of spiritual artifacts I developed is just a bunch of whimsical tricks! He said that instead of focusing on improving my alchemist skills, I'm just wasting my time researching these things! He said that someone like me doesn't deserve to be a member of the Alchemist Association, or even a true alchemist!"
"Not long after, he kicked me out of the Alchemist Association in the capital. I went from being a senior member of the Alchemist Association in the capital to a wandering cultivator!"
At this point, Xu Pingan shook his head repeatedly, his eyes seemingly still filled with murky tears.
"In the years that followed, I approached one city lord after another, showing them my set of magical artifacts, hoping to be given an important position. However, I was disappointed. Not a single city lord was willing to hire me, and they all scoffed at my set of magical artifacts!"
