Chapter 37 Chapter 37
Xuanyin entered the United University and took a stroll around.
There are both Imperials and Federations here. Although the people of these two countries look the same, they are quite easy to distinguish in reality. The Imperials generally dress in a more exaggerated and ostentatious manner, and their overall state is more tense.
This is understandable, after all, we are in a foreign country.
Xuanyin came to the registration office and looked at the registration requirements.
This university recruits students between the ages of 15 and 25, and offers a wide range of courses, from the hottest and most sophisticated field of divine clothing to basic language, culture, customs, etc. The main purpose is for people in the Federation to learn about the culture of the Empire, and for people in the Empire to learn about things on the Federation side.
Those with good grades will be given priority in arranging related jobs. Anyway, as long as you graduate from here, you won’t have to worry about finding a job.
Xuanyin looked at it for a while and directly applied for Imperial Pharmacology.
The admissions officer said, "Because Imperial Pharmacology is a relatively advanced major, you need to take many basic courses before you can learn the professional knowledge. Therefore, the admission threshold is relatively high. There will be an entrance exam. You can go back and prepare for it."
Xuanyin nodded: "Are there many people applying for this exam?"
Before the admissions officer could finish his words, someone nearby said, "Of course it's more. Out of ten federal students who apply to Union University, at least seven and a half are here for this major."
Xuanyin looked at this person. It was a girl with a neat ponytail and wheat-colored skin. She looked very healthy and sunny.
As expected, the other person cheerfully extended his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Peipei. I'm also here to apply for the Imperial College of Pharmacology. Maybe we'll be classmates in the future."
Xuanyin extended her hand: "Hello, my name is Cheng Xuanyin."
Ye Peipei said, "You applied for this major because of the legendary miracle medicine of the Empire, right? This is the only thing that attracts people to the Empire."
"A miracle drug?"
Ye Peipei looked a little surprised: "Don't you know? The imperial family has a mysterious medicine that can prolong people's lifespan. Do you know how old the current emperor is? He's over 170 years old and still alive and well. It is said that he even looks like an uncle!"
Xuanyin was very surprised. It was indeed the first time she knew about this kind of thing.
Ye Peipei said, "Although this medicine is a secret of the Empire and you certainly can't learn it in class here, it does provide a window into their pharmaceutical thinking and practices. Otherwise, if this continues for a few generations, the people of the Empire will all live to be two hundred years old, while the average age of our Federation is only in its seventies or eighties. We will definitely fall behind the Empire."
When Ye Peipei said this, her expression was extremely firm and resolute, and her face seemed to be glowing with red light, the only difference being that her face showed her determination to make the country stronger and her concern for the country and the people.
"However, our Federation now has an elixir, which has finally turned the tables. The Empire's magical medicine is said to be only available to the royal family, but the elixir we have here is available to the general public."
Xuanyin looked at the other person's proud face and remained silent.
Ye Peipei then asked, "By the way, why did you apply for pharmacology?"
Xuanyin said, "I was just curious before, but now I have decided to study for the future of the Federation."
Ye Peipei immediately looked like she had found a kindred spirit, and said excitedly, "I've decided to make you my friend. Let's add each other as friends!"
So after signing up, Xuanyin had a good friend.
Ye Peipei is a native of the Seventh Special District. He volunteered to be the host and invited Xuanyin to visit several famous attractions. When Xuanyin returned to the hotel in the evening, she felt that her legs had become thinner from walking so much.
The host was so overly enthusiastic that it was a bit overwhelming.
Lying in bed, she first looked up information about the imperial miracle medicine, but could hardly find any relevant content on the Internet. However, if she looked through the history of the empire, she could discover many unusual things.
The system revealed this more clearly: "Three or four hundred years ago, the imperial family began to live longer. It is said that 413 years ago, the then Crown Prince Duanheng died unexpectedly while on tour. The empire was devastated by the loss of its crown prince, and the country was in chaos. The chaos lasted for ten years, and finally, the son of Crown Prince Duanheng defeated his uncles and ascended the throne, becoming Emperor Xingtai.
"Emperor Xingtai was not in good health. Everyone in the empire thought he wouldn't be able to remain emperor for long. However, he persevered, outlasting his ministers, sons, and even grandson. He reigned for a full 105 years before passing the throne to his great-grandson. He lived for over a decade after abdicating, and died at the age of 141.
"Emperor Xingtai's great-grandson was even more outrageous. He ascended the throne in his thirties and reigned for over 150 years before abdicating to his great-grandson. This great-grandson continues to reign to this day, now over 170 years old. He's said to be still very energetic. Several ministers of the empire have died, yet this emperor is still around, and he still has a highly centralized power. It's terrifying."
The system sighed as it spoke. In the past four hundred years, the Federation held elections every five years, and each president could not be re-elected for more than two years, so the ruling power in the Federation had rotated at least 20 times, while the Empire had only experienced three emperors.
What a tragic contrast this is?
The emperor of the empire is simply the most envied person by men in the world.
Xuanyin touched her chin and said, "Four hundred years ago, the life span of the emperor of the empire was still normal, right?"
"Well, at that time, the Empire and the Federation were alike, with no one living particularly long lives."
"So, what happened four hundred years ago?"
"I don't know. I really can't find it. Even searching for keywords for four hundred years won't turn it up."
Xuanyin asked, "Tell me, does this secret of longevity have anything to do with that human blood medicine?"
"Maybe."
Xuanyin thought about it for a while and stopped worrying about it. She began to conceive her plan of flooding Jinshan Mountain.
The flooding of Jinshan Mountain comes from the mythological legend "The Legend of the White Snake". There are many climaxes in this story, such as the Dragon Boat Festival incident, the theft of the magic grass in Kunlun Mountain, etc. The flooding of Jinshan Mountain is the climax of the whole story.
In order to save her husband Xu Xian who was captured by Fahai, the White Snake fought with Fahai and flooded Jinshan Temple. In the end, she was defeated. Because she hurt countless lives in the process of flooding Jinshan Temple, she was suppressed under Leifeng Pagoda.
The White Snake has practiced Taoism for thousands of years and is said to have been enlightened by Guanyin. Her own cultivation is extremely high and she also has excellent medical skills.
But considering that Shiji Niangniang's Bagua Yunguangpa was destroyed by the Divine Tower, Xuanyin decided to keep it simple and not need Baishe's other abilities, just the skill of flooding the Golden Mountain.
Xuanyin has seen many movies about the appearance of the White Snake. The appearance in each TV series and cartoon is different. Xuanyin prefers the image in a certain movie, which is enchanting and charming, but also fierce and ruthless, and extremely beautiful.
It was just that the Xu Xian in the movie was so fucked up, the most annoying Xu Xian she had ever seen, and made her feel sorry for the White Snake's infatuation.
Xuanyin used the image of the white snake as a reference to sketch out the design.
She has long hair like raven clouds, charming and affectionate eyebrows, and a long white and bright red gown that outlines her enchanting figure. She stands on the bridge holding a paper umbrella. In the misty rain, she is so cold and resolute, and the water around her is surging, ready to take off.
An hour later, Xuanyin looked at her work with satisfaction, then imported it into the software and began to make a three-dimensional model, carefully coloring and polishing it.
The more she did it, the more excited she became. Whether it was He Xiangu or the Salt Water Goddess, she always felt that they were very far away from her. Shiji Niangniang was even more like a cold god of death. Even though she had spent the most energy and effort to create them, Xuanyin did not invest too much emotion in them.
But when making the White Snake's magical robe, Xuanyin felt that she and the other party had developed a subtle empathy.
This character has emotions. When she started writing the second part, she seemed to depict her infatuation, anger, the pain of being feared by her lover, the hatred of having her lover taken away, and the pain of separation, and then accumulated them into a final decisive blow.
She couldn't even wait to try on this magical dress.
So she put on her helmet and logged into the dream world.
【Welcome "Qiuyou Yanji" back to the dream world. 】
Arriving at her private cabin again, the familiar system prompt sound rang out.
Xuanyin walked out of the private cabin and not far away was the hall where the previous competition had taken place.
She was in a hurry to get to the God Tower, so she directly summoned the panel, entered the mall, and bought a flying car.
The flying cars in this dream world are only about two-thirds cheaper than the flying cars in reality, which is still quite expensive.
Xuanyin bought one without blinking, and the next moment, a flying car took shape little by little in the open space beside her, and gradually became a complete flying car.
Xuanyin opened the car door and got in, then drove to the sacred tower.
Ten minutes later, Xuanyin was in the God Tower, grinding with the God Tower.
"Is there something wrong with this divine robe? Why won't you let me pass it?"
"The water control technique isn't fresh. Is it the same as the other water control divine robes? Are other water control skills also called "Flooding the Golden Mountain"? Are other water control skills also spells cast by a thousand-year-old snake demon?"
"Doesn't it fit the core characteristics of this mythical figure? If it doesn't have the core characteristics, then this divine garment can't be classified as belonging to a mythical figure?"
Xuanyin frowned. This divine tower was really detailed, but its core feature did make sense.
As for a mythical figure, it is natural to reflect the characteristics of this character. The abilities displayed by the three divine clothes mentioned above are all closely related to the character itself.
As for the White Snake, it is indeed a bit far-fetched to want to make it a simple water control.
After all, you can't say that this skill is called "Flooding Jinshan" instead of "Flooding other mountains", which is its characteristic.
Or when you use your ability, will your snake tail be exposed?
Xuanyin thought about it and shook her head to reject it. If she transformed, the loss of the attached spirit would increase sharply, which would only cause trouble for herself.
The God Tower reminded: "Adding to a character's characteristics doesn't just mean increasing their abilities."
After a moment of silence, he said coldly, "According to your current design, even if it passes certification, the power of this divine robe will not be much stronger than ordinary water-controlling divine robes."
Xuanyin was puzzled: Why?
She carefully recalled the design of Niangniang Shiji. The power of Niangniang Shiji came from the fact that she was a stone spirit in the Xuanhuang period. She was a demon king herself, with great magical powers, and was able to absorb the energy of the earth (this point has not yet been revealed), and she also possessed a magic weapon such as the Taia Sword.
These design details provide real logical support for the strength of her character, rather than just empty talk about how strong she is.
But what does the White Snake have? The background of a thousand-year-old snake demon?
But this is not reflected in the design.
Suddenly, Xuanyin had an epiphany: "What if I add some flaws to this character, some flaws that come with being a snake demon, like a fear of realgar wine?"
