Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Two-in-one [Contains 40,000 nutrient solution plus update]

After calming down, Yan Luoyue looked around. Soon she found that, except for herself, the other little turtles in the room had not made any significant breakthroughs in strength.

Everyone who woke up couldn't help but share their thoughts on this unique lesson.

"Very peaceful and comfortable, just like falling asleep."

"Well, we must have fallen asleep, right?"

Yan Luoyue waited for a while, and when the discussion was at its most heated, she interrupted and asked, "Has everyone's cultivation improved?"

“No.”

"Neither have I."

"I have a little, but not much."

After asking everyone around, Yan Luoyue finally confirmed that although the other turtles had not made much progress in their cultivation.

But after learning from the great elder's words and deeds, their thinking level has made a significant breakthrough.

For example...

"I understand. Life is hard for a turtle. We should cultivate slowly. Why should we be obsessed with a day or a night?"

"Yes, yes. Anyway, being happy is the most important thing to live a long life. As long as you keep a good mood, you may be able to live longer than those monks who work day and night."

There were also some more open-minded turtles who performed a demonstration on the spot: "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

"yawn--"

After a proper yawn, the little turtle lay down on the ground leisurely.

He pulled a corner of the small quilt covering Yan Luoyue's knees and covered her belly with it. After a while, she started to snore sweetly.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

My goodness, this is really a process of starting from childhood.

Turtle tribe, you are worthy of it.

Yan Luoyue walked out of the school with mixed feelings, and happened to run into the Great Elder practicing Turtle Fist in the martial arts training ground.

Although the Great Elder's moves were slow and sluggish, his movements were wide and open, and he had a calm aura.

Yan Luoyue stopped and savored it for a while and was convinced. She felt that the Great Elder had mastered the essence of turtle.

Don't get me wrong, she didn't mean that the Great Elder is good at boxing.

You know, the characteristics of Wangbaquan are that it is strong, fast and simple.

But at the Great Elder's current speed, before his arms could be fully extended, Lu Zhishen had already hammered Guanxi to death eight times.

From this, we can see that in the past few years, the Great Elder must have made full use of the advantages of the Turtle Clan - otherwise, how could he practice boxing to look so confident in his own vitality.

Yan Luoyue was silent for a moment, and his speechless and choked mood increased by three points.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Luoyue waited obediently until the Great Elder finished his set of turtle punches. During the break, she stepped forward and saluted the Great Elder.

"Elder, I have something to ask you."

The Great Elder nodded amiably to Yan Luoyue: "Don't be anxious. Speak slowly."

There was a hint of hesitation in Yan Luoyue's tone: "When I woke up, I found that my cultivation had made a breakthrough. I don't know why, but I feel that this is not accidental. I wonder if the elder is willing to teach me?"

The great elder laughed and stroked Yan Luoyue's hair very, very, very slowly. Even an old cow that had worked all day would not dare to rest like this.

"Good—boy,—look—"

Yan Luoyue shook her head, opened her eyes and was startled, only to find that when the Great Elder touched her head, he also conjured up a pot of wild flowers from somewhere and held it in his palm.

He handed the small pot of flowers to Yan Luoyue, his words still slow and steady, but with a profound meaning in them:

"Look at it. It sprouts when it should sprout and blooms when it should bloom."

It was as if something had dawned on him, and Yan Luoyue suddenly understood.

She held the flowerpot, looking at the inconspicuous light yellow wildflower, a hint of excitement gradually appearing on her face.

"I understand, Elder. You mean to say that the right way is to alternate between tension and relaxation. I practiced too hard in the past few days and was too tense, so I relaxed yesterday and achieved results beyond my expectations."

Yan Luoyue bowed happily to the Great Elder.

"Thank you, Great Elder. Goodbye, Great Elder!"

Only after the little girl's jumping figure completely disappeared from the training ground did the great elder slowly finish the second half of his sentence.

"Look at this flower. It doesn't think as much as you do."

And the second incense stick after Yan Luoyue left the martial arts arena, the Great Elder stretched out his hand weakly and made a grabbing gesture in the air, as if he wanted to retain something.

He hesitated for a moment, "Wait, wait, give me back my flowers..."

This girl is too quick. She didn't even listen to the old man finish his words and took away the flower he raised, along with the pot.

well.

Over the years, the flowers raised by the elder always died inexplicably.

He had worked very hard to keep this pot of flowers alive.

——————————

Yan Luoyue returned home happily, and the first thing she did was to find a suitable spot on her windowsill and place the flower pot.

Logically speaking, small light yellow wild flowers like this one that can be seen everywhere should be easy to grow.

But for some reason, the pot of flowers that the great elder gave her seemed a little wilted.

Yan Luoyue stood on tiptoe to check the soil, and soon discovered that even the edge of the flowerpot was showing signs of desertification.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Ah, here, what's going on.

How often does the Great Elder water the flowers?

Just by looking at this pot of flowers, Yan Luoyue could almost imagine the scene in her mind:

[The Great Elder said slowly: "It seems that it is time to water the flowers."

Half a minute later, just as he picked up the fountain, a head popped into the cave: "Grand Elder, I need your help!"

An hour later, the great elder finally sent the guests away and said, "It seems like it's time to water the flowers."

A quarter of an hour later, just as he found the fountain, the communication stone suddenly rang: "Grand Elder, can I ask you a question?"

……】

Waving his hand to break up the lifelike scene, Yan Luoyue felt that what he guessed should be the truth.

No wonder the great elder only grows wild flowers.

With this cultivation method, apart from wild flowers, other elders cannot be kept alive!

Because Yan Luoyue overslept in the classroom yesterday, when she returned home, Yan Gan had already gone to school.

He also left a note for Yan Luoyue, telling his sister to stay at home without worry, and that he would ask for leave from school for her.

As for Yan Yu, although there are no baby turtles to take care of in the hatchery now, she still has other work to do in the tribe.

In other words, Yan Luoyue is the only one left at home now.

Fortunately, she is not a really naughty child, and she would not do anything that would make her parents heartbroken, such as "flooding seven rooms", "making murals with lipstick", "mixing vegetable oil, flour and mud", "taking out all her parents' condoms and blowing them into bubbles", etc.

Yan Luoyue just walked into the kitchen with dignity, and after confirming that Yan Yu had left some buns for her in the steamer, she returned to her little room with a bowl full of water.

Since she didn't have to go to school all day and there were no adults at home, Yan Luoyue had a perfect opportunity to refine the newly purchased spiritual fire.

Placing the bowl flat on the table, Yan Luoyue took out the ball containing the fire, cracked the outer shell of the crystal ball like cracking an egg, and let the small orange-red flames fall into the bowl.

The next step, of course, is to use chopsticks to stir the egg liquid evenly...ah, just kidding.

Yan Luoyue made a hand gesture, and judging by the posture, it was the starting position of "Lang Tao Jin", one of the advanced techniques of refining time.

His own spiritual power was twisted into one by Yan Luoyue and sent into Yan Xin, oscillating regularly from the inside out.

The next wave pressed against the previous one, and for a moment, it was like the sound of the sea rustling against the shore.

This process seems easy, but in reality, every time a wave rises, Yan Luoyue's gesture will change.

There are a total of sixty-four core techniques of "Lang Tao Jin", each of which is equipped with eighteen small variations. As for which variation to choose during operation, it depends on the specific situation of the flame.

During the training period, the eight techniques form a set and there should be no interruption between each set.

In other words, Yan Luoyue must judge the changing trend of the flame within half a second and then use the corresponding formula at the same time.

Throughout the whole process, eyes, hands and heart are all essential.

This technique is so difficult to learn, no wonder "Lang Tao Jin" is listed as one of the advanced techniques. It is almost lost among ordinary instrument makers. Even Master Ding of Zhao Xin Ju has only heard of the name.

Yan Luoyue also masters hundreds of difficult and secret weapon refining techniques like "Langtaosha".

After practicing sixteen moves in a row, Yan Luoyue's Dantian's spiritual energy was almost exhausted. He then made a "temporarily seal" handprint, sat down cross-legged, and slowly exhaled a long breath.

The moisture in the large bowl has been half roasted dry, and the flames in the bowl have become much clearer, which is more and more in line with the name "clear and clear".

In fact, Yan Luoyue had originally planned that she should stop regulating her breathing after finishing the first eight moves.

But a good dream yesterday allowed Yan Luoyue to step into the threshold of the middle level of Qi refining, and also almost doubled her spiritual energy.

Therefore, at the current rate, Yan Luoyue only needs to rest for two more times to completely remove all the impurities in the spiritual fire.

Not only that, the process of refining the spiritual fire itself also made Yan Luoyue more adaptable to his newly acquired spiritual energy.

Yan Luoyue is now able to summon spiritual energy much more easily than at the beginning. In the following process, her speed will definitely be even faster.

After performing the spell four times in succession, all the impurities in the spiritual fire were removed, and a cluster of clear and transparent flames the size of a palm was finally successfully produced. It seemed that the obsessive-compulsive disorder could be cured.

Yan Luoyue admired the final product from different angles, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Although it has been a long time since she last touched the alchemy furnace, her technique is still not rusty.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with a smile, Yan Luoyue looked at the sun outside the window and found that the morning time had passed quietly. The sun was hanging high in the middle of the sky, and the shadows of the trees in the yard became short and thick. It was already noon.

After lunch, Yan Luoyue took out the materials needed for the refiner from the storage bag and arranged them one by one in an orderly manner.

Then the furnace is lit and the required materials are put into the smelting furnace one by one.

The first magic weapon she refined was neither a defensive magic weapon nor a weapon. It was pitch black in color, had a round belly, and looked very solid.

In the afternoon, Yan Gan and Sang Ji came back from school together. They circled around Yan Luoyue's artifact for several times, but couldn't identify what it was.

Yan Gan's idea was more brutal and simple: "Sister, have you refined an iron block, and are you going to use it to smash the enemy to death once he gets close to you?"

"How strange, it looks like a stove." Sang Ji's guess was closer to the truth, "Sister, did you use a stove to refine a stove?"

It's like putting another pair of shoes inside another pair of shoes. It sounds so weird.

Yan Luoyue laughed, stuffed a spirit stone into the small opening of the stove, and pulled off one of the ears on the "stove".

The next moment, flames burst out from the mouth of the bizarre cauldron, and regular mechanical sounds came from inside the furnace.

After a moment, an iron plate on the stove opened, and crystal clear black jade ointment, accompanied by a strong and sweet fragrance, flowed out from the outlet continuously.

Sang Ji and Yan Gan sniffed it hard and said in unison: "This is... a sweet and delicious pill!"

Yan Luoyue nodded leisurely: "Yes, as you can see, I made an automatic medicine refining machine."

The principle here is simple and difficult at the same time.

The simplicity lies in the fact that the production process of the sweet and delicious cake is not complicated. In the final step of quenching, as long as you can master the refining technique of "Mantianxing", you can get the perfect pill.

Therefore, Yan Luoyue first used the jade slip to copy his own techniques, and then used materials such as Tianxing Black Iron and Piaoshuang Precious Copper to make the core mechanism.

Finally, she refined a few parts for adding medicinal materials at a regular interval, and put them together to create this automatic medicine refining machine.

Although it can only refine sweet and delicious pills and cannot make other pills, it is trouble-free and uses machines instead of manual labor.

After briefly describing the process, Yan Luoyue nodded with satisfaction:

"In this way, we will be able to quickly produce the first batch of medicine and hand it over to the Canglang Sect during the next Moonlight Gathering."

Sang Ji and Yan Gan were stunned when they heard this, their faces filled with shock, "How can this be possible?"

"I've never heard of this before. You're amazing, sister."

Yan Luoyue waved her hand and smiled nonchalantly: "This is just a new beginning. I haven't assembled the automatic refining machine yet."

"--hiss."

They both gasped at the same time, "Wait, the refiner can be automatic?"

But didn’t you just mention that the sweet and delicious pill can be copied because it only requires one quenching technique throughout the process and the principle is simple?

"Of course I can." Yan Luoyue said calmly, "Take Brother Ji's rhinoceros fang dagger as an example. Your dagger has been tempered by five different methods."

"And I can separate these five techniques, use one core component to replicate one technique, and then use a conveyor belt to connect the five components."

Yan Gan didn't understand everything, but he felt that the door to a new world was slowly opening to him.

"So..."

Yan Luoyue: "Yes, as long as there are enough materials and energy, countless identical rhinoceros fang daggers will be produced continuously."

——This production method is the most commonly used assembly line in later generations.

Stunned Yan Gan: “…”

Sang Ji felt like he was living in a dream: "..."

Sang Jigan swallowed his saliva, pulled out his rhinoceros-tooth dagger and looked left and right.

He just couldn't believe that after only half a cup of tea, his beloved custom weapon was in danger of becoming a street commodity.

Looking at the dazed expressions of her two brothers, Yan Luoyue smiled secretly.

Given the current environment, her assembly line concept is still only valid in theory.

For example, each core component must be equipped with a spiritual fire to drive it, but Luoyue only has one fire in his hand now; for another example, he doesn't know where to import raw materials of stable quality; for another example, the cultivation world may not need so many rhinoceros fang daggers...

Last but not least: each core component must be tailored to the state of the spirit fire.

This is a great test of the instrument maker's ability, vision and experience.

Taking this "automatic alchemy machine" as an example, even a master alchemist like Yan Luoyue has to disassemble the core components every three days and adjust them according to the state of the Qingcheng Fire.

The current world of immortal cultivation may not be ready for industrialization and the establishment of an organized machine system.

But in the future... well, who knows.

This epoch-making automatic product has only caused a small stir in Yan Luoyue's small yard.

It was like a stone thrown into the center of a well, which caused ripples before quickly calming down.

The aftermath of this incident was that every time Yan Gan passed by the automatic medicine refining machine, he couldn't help but stare at this black iron thing.

Although he knew nothing about refining equipment, every time he saw this automatic medicine refining machine, Yan Gan could feel the awesomeness of having mastered the core technology.

————————————

The automatic medicine refining machine worked without sleep and soon produced enough sweet and delicious pills.

Yan Luoyue contacted the accounting uncle of the Canglang Sect in advance and made an appointment with him to meet at the next Yueming Market to deliver the goods.

Yueming Festival is open every five days.

This time, Sang Ji and Yan Gan had finished their homework in advance and were not kept after class. At the podium, as soon as the teacher said the class was over, they picked up Yan Luoyue and rushed out of the classroom like a gust of wind.

gentlemen:"……"

After staring at the student's back for a while, and recalling the quality of the students' homework, the teacher slammed the table heavily:

"Why don't you guys seem so enthusiastic when you come to class normally?"

From this we can see that regardless of ancient or modern times, China or abroad, cultivation or industry, the mood of teachers is generally the same.

…………

At the Yueming gathering, Sang Ji had not yet forgotten to choose a disguise for Yan Luoyue.

He held Yan Luoyue in his arms and looked left and right at each stall. Soon he found something good.

"Is this the... transformation fruit you're selling? How long does it last?"

The stall owner was some kind of monster. He had a big nose, a severely receding hairline, and looked very unhappy.

Yan Luoyue always felt that the stall owner looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

The stall owner spoke with an oyster-flavored accent: "Young man, you know your stuff. It's really a makeover. The effect will be in half an hour."

Sang Ji picked up a small purple-red fruit and looked at it, then put it down again: "Is it real? Can you verify it?"

The stall owner readily picked up a fruit from the stall and stuffed it into his mouth: "Okay, little brother, you watch it."

The next second, Yan Luoyue, who was sitting steadily in the crook of Sang Ji's arm, jumped suddenly.

No wonder she reacted so strongly.

The key is, what exactly is the stall owner displaying now?

As soon as the stall owner swallowed the fruit, his facial features became randomly arranged: one eye remained on his forehead, the other eye moved to his chin, his nose twisted 270 degrees on the spot, and his mouth moved to his cheek.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Well folks, this is a real makeover - literally.

Yan Luoyue was greatly surprised and amazed.

Sang Ji shook Yan Luoyue on his arm and said, "How about it, sister? After you eat this fruit, I guarantee that no one will recognize you. Do you like it?"

——Nonsense, the facial features are shattered into pieces like a puzzle. If anyone can still recognize her like this, he would have to shout “Mom” on the spot to thank him for recognizing her.

Yan Luoyue spoke the truth: "...I don't like it."

After eating this fruit, what it will look like will be random, just like drawing a blind box. She doesn't have such an interest or hobby.

The stall owner seemed to see the resistance in Yan Luoyue's heart. His lips slightly opened and his two upturned eyebrows began to flutter.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you are not satisfied with the effect, I... I still have some enhanced versions of the makeover fruit to sell."

Yan Luoyue couldn't help but ask, "What is the effect of the enhanced version?"

The normal version looks so scary, like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces thrown out of order. As for the enhanced version... will the entire face become a freely assembled Lego brick?

The stall owner proudly said: "After eating the enhanced version of the fruit, the eight limbs can change positions randomly!"

“…”

Wait, eight limbs?

Yan Luoyue finally felt that something was wrong.

"Well, may I ask... stall owner, what is your ethnicity?"

The stall owner answered naturally: "Octopus."

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Sorry to bother you.

No wonder you can come up with such an infernal thing. It turns out you are the great God Cthulhu.

Also, she finally knew why the stall owner looked so familiar to her.

Bald forehead, big nose, unhappy face...this looks exactly like Squidward!

Once the effect of the enhanced version of the Makeover Fruit was revealed, even Sang Ji began to keep his distance.

Only Yan Gan touched his chin, with an interested look in his eyes.

"You guys don't like it, I think it sounds cool."

"Then go and eat it, buddy." Sang Ji patted his shoulder, "Don't blame me as a brother for not reminding you, after eating this fruit, there is a 50% chance that you will have to wipe your butt with your feet when you go to the toilet."

Yan Gan: “…”

Although Yan Luoyue was adamant about not eating this small fruit, they still bought all the transformed fruits on the stall.

In Sang Ji's words, this kind of fruit is hard to come by and is a specialty of the sea people.

What's more, the price Squidward offered was not expensive, and it was almost free when rounded off.

Even Yan Luoyue did not raise any objection: Although she would not eat it herself, it would be a good thing if she had the chance to give it to others.

Yan Luoyue had just expressed a little bit of his opinion when the three of them couldn't help but smile at each other, with a feeling of mutual sympathy in their eyes.

Yan Gan still remembered the incident in Ruyi City when Yan Luoyue and Sang Ji were almost caught by the leading monk that day.

He put the fruit away, with a hint of well-hidden worry in his tone.

"If my sister doesn't like to eat this, what will happen if someone recognizes her next time?"

Yan Luoyue waved her hands: "This is easy, I can just make a cloak that can hide my aura."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that Yan Gan and Sang Ji were both looking at her motionlessly, with meaningful eyes and their shoulders shaking violently, obviously trying hard to hold back their laughter.

“…”

Looking down at his own short arms and legs, Yan Luoyue suddenly realized what was going on and became angry out of shame.

"——As for the height problem, I can just put on a pair of insoles to increase my height!"

"Hahahaha, looking at your small size, a pair of insoles may not be enough, sister."

"Don't worry, sister. Look, there's a stilt seller over there. I'll buy you a pair. Hahahaha!"

Yan Luoyue kicked her suspended legs angrily and called out the names of her two brothers loudly in her heart.

——Halberd! Shit!
