Chapter 203: Unexpected Things, the New Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions!
Ever since he bought the Death Mantis, Lu Feng felt safe with a third-level fighter by his side.
In addition to being busy with the production of medicines in the alchemy factory on weekdays, Lu Feng also took some time to practice the fighting skills of the Death Mantis in the spiritual realm.
Without Lu Feng's control, the intelligence of the Death Mantis is only similar to that of an ordinary undead skeleton. It can do some simple actions under human command, but it would be a bit clumsy if it were to be used in combat.
By the time a wizard reaches the third-level wizard stage, the wizard's body and mental strength have undergone multiple transformations and have long since transcended the mundane world. Relying solely on the Death Mantis's simple intelligence, which is comparable to that of a mentally retarded person, it is estimated that if it encounters a third-level wizard of the same strength, or a strong man like the Heart Sea Wizard, the Death Mantis may not even be able to touch their hair.
It's such a waste to have powerful attack power but not be able to use it.
Under Lu Feng's mental control, the Death Mantis gradually became more agile and slowly gained some of the power of a real Death Mantis.
Time flies like an arrow and slips away quietly while Lu Feng is busy.
In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the Fiery Moon of the Wizard Era 4048.
A year and a half later, the medicine refining factory in the Green Tower is now completely back on track.
Thanks to Lu Feng's efforts, the Water of Life Potion, the Cold Moon Light Potion, and the Pollitt's Howl Potion have all been put into stable production, bringing in a large amount of magic stone income for Lu Feng and Cang Cuigao every month.
Ms. Natasha's complexion improved visibly.
It takes a lot of magic stones to maintain the daily consumption of the Verdant Tower.
After Teacher Tia took away most of the official wizards in the tower, the only major source of income was the medicinal herb planting business of the Green Tower. In order to maintain the stability of the wizard tower, Ms. Natasha secretly worried about the magic stone.
We have to be very frugal with the expenses on various wizard towers.
Now, with the alchemy factory supported by Lu Feng, magic stones are rolling in. With magic stones in hand, it is naturally a lot easier for Ms. Natasha to manage the Green Tower.
After all, most troubles can be solved with magic stones.
"With Rest here, Tia can just stay in the Norton plane. Even if she doesn't come back, I can still run the Verdant Tower well!" After putting the magic stones of potions into her bag again and again, Ms. Natasha smiled proudly.
The tone contained dissatisfaction with the wizard Tia.
Lu Feng focused on running and managing his own alchemy factory. He no longer had any contact with or care about other matters in the wizard tower, and he was too lazy to care.
Guard your own medicine factory, live a leisurely life, earn magic stones to cultivate Qingmu Spirit Realm, and let Ms. Natasha worry about the rest!
In the first ten months of a year and a half, Lu Feng used the magic stone income from the alchemy factory to pay off the balance of the Death Mantis purchased from the Dongmu Chamber of Commerce.
Because of the power of the Death Mantis, Lu Feng felt that the three million was well worth it.
With the remaining few months' income from magic stones, Lu Feng still purchased a large amount of five elements resources and invested them in the Qingmu Spiritual Realm.
With the Five Elements Formation constructed by the Five-Colored Flags of the Five Directions, Qingmu Lingjing's ability to digest resources has been greatly accelerated, even faster than the speed at which he could earn magic stones by relying on the alchemy factory.
Qingmu Lingjing has a big appetite, and Lu Feng is extremely happy.
At least after digesting so many five-element resources, Qingmu Spirit Realm gave him considerable feedback, directly pushing Lu Feng's mental power and body to the top of the early stage of the second-level wizard.
According to his estimation, if he feeds the five elements resources for about half a month, Qingmu Spirit Realm should allow Lu Feng to break through to the middle stage of the second-level wizard.
This speed of improvement was too alarming, and Lu Feng usually practiced the method of restraining his breath that he had learned from the world of earthly immortals, and combined it with the Qingmu Spiritual Realm to restrain his breath.
He did not intend to announce his terrifying speed of improvement to the public. Anyway, the Green Tower was very peaceful now, and no one would keep a close eye on Lu Feng to observe his specific progress in cultivation.
Restraining his breath, Lu Feng prepared to proceed step by step, and slowly show the people in the Verdant Tower his progress in the art of wizardry within a reasonable period of time.
For Yu Lufeng, there was no intention of showing off or boasting about such matters.
As a human being or a wizard, it is better to be humble.
On this day, Lu Feng had just finished refining a batch of medicines in the medicine factory and returned to his residence. As soon as he came back, Lu Feng frowned.
Over in the world of earthly immortals, there was movement in Dahe Temple again.
"After such a long time, Dahe Temple has finally made a move. I want to see how Dahe Temple plans to train their blessed land."
Lu Feng muttered to himself, passed through the space gate, and came to the Red Leaf Club.
Without rushing to find Luo Xueqing to ask, Lu Feng first connected with Orleans, a native who was hiding near Dahe Temple and was responsible for monitoring Dahe Temple through mental connection.
The people from the Red Leaf Society are too weak to hide under the nose of Dahe Temple and spy on the secrets of Dahe Temple.
Therefore, Lu Feng entrusted this glorious and arduous task to the native Oileus.
The Red Leaf Society already had a habit of collecting ancient books. With the joining of forces such as Song Dao Ren, under the temptation of spiritual materials, they contributed the ancient books collected by their sect for generations, which greatly enriched the Red Leaf Society's collection of books.
Lu Feng found a spell called Earth Walking and taught the native Orleans to learn it, giving him the ability to escape through earth and rocks.
According to the world of earthly immortals, the earthman Orleans is a creature that was transformed from earth and stone, and he was born with an extraordinary affinity and talent for earth-based magic.
After Orleans obtained the Earth Walking Technique, he learned this spell in a short time. Then, under Lu Feng's instructions, he lurked near the Dahe Temple, looking for a suitable position to monitor Dahe Temple's every move.
Following the breath from the soul lamp of Orleans in the Qingmu Spirit Realm, Lu Feng quickly communicated with the native Orleans and obtained some information about Dahe Temple from him.
"Three days ago, a flying magic weapon entered Dahe Temple under the cover of darkness, and has not shown any intention of leaving since then! Where did the flying magic weapon come from? This kind of special magic weapon, which is a strategic material, is only passed down to the ancestors of Song Daoren's Qingmu Temple among the eight sects. This means that Dahe Temple is now in collusion with at least one sect with a strong foundation."
Looking at the message from Orleans, Lu Feng frowned slightly.
This kind of thing that appears beyond his control is what Lu Feng hates the most.
When Lu Feng saw clearly the image of the flying magic weapon sent by Orleans, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"An ellipsoidal air bag with a cabin underneath. Isn't this an airship? I have seen this kind of flying equipment in the wizarding world, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing in the world of earthly immortals. In a world with extraordinary powers, it is not surprising that anything can appear."
Lu Feng found Luo Xueqing, Song Daoren and others, drew the image of the "airship" sent by Orleans, and showed it to them.
Luo Xueqing, like many others, looked at this strange-looking thing in bewilderment.
"This kind of thing can fly? Could it be that a cultivator has made it into a magical weapon and set up a magic array on it that allows it to float? However, if such a large thing can be refined into a magical weapon, a large number of spiritual objects must be needed. Could it be that Dahe Temple has climbed up to a powerful force?" Luo Xueqing asked the question that was in her mind.
Song Daoren also agreed with a puzzled look on his face. This was something they had never seen before. It was difficult to understand the principle of the "airship" flying based on a picture alone.
Only the abbot of Shuiyue Temple, Shuiyue Taoist, looked at the "airship" thoughtfully.
"I seem to have seen some related descriptions of this thing in the notes left by my master. This is definitely not a product of the Great Xuan Dynasty. It looks a bit like something from the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions."
Taoist Shuiyue's words excited everyone present. Upon hearing her words, Lu Feng also looked at Taoist Shuiyue, waiting for her more explanation.
"The thing is, Master Song should know that my master once went to explore the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions alone thirty years ago because of some hobbies. As a result, he was gone for ten years, and when he came back, he was seriously injured and died of illness a few months later! Before my master passed away, he gave me the notes he had taken when traveling to the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, so I also learned some information about the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions from the notes."
Taoist Shuiyue's expression became a little gloomy as she recalled the past, but she did not stop and continued speaking.
"To be honest, I still have some doubts about the authenticity of some of the things in my master's notes! The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions described in my master's notes are completely different from the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions that we usually know! My master once said that she lost her way after entering the Golden Sand Sea. When she got on the right road, she had already passed through the Golden Sand Sea and entered a vast continent. Although that continent is not as flat and vast as the land of the Great Xuan Dynasty today, it is composed of many islands and small land, and there are many countries on it, at least forty. But it is also a rich land, not a poor and remote place in our impression, a barren land where people can only find food in the desert."
Listening to the description of Taoist Shuiyue, Lu Feng frowned slightly. He always felt that Taoist Shuiyue's experience was not simple, so he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Shuiyue, after reading your master's notes, have you ever followed your master's notes to look for it?"
Faced with such mysterious things, most people would either treat them as trash and never touch them, or treasure them as treasures and try hard to find out the secrets behind them.
Lu Feng's words struck a chord with everyone, and they all looked forward to hearing Taoist Shuiyue's explanation of what would happen next.
Taoist Shuiyue seemed to know that Lu Feng would ask this question. She nodded and answered affirmatively:
"Of course, my master assured me solemnly that what he said was true. As her only disciple, how could I not believe her? But after I inherited her spiritual realm and completely mastered the power of a Taoist priest, I followed her notes to explore the magical Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, but found nothing. I crossed the golden sea of sand and saw only a group of desert people struggling to survive in the desert."
"If you have time to cross the Golden Sand Sea, you will definitely find the traces I left there. I watched them struggling to survive, and I found a place where water veins converged in the desert, and cast a spell to draw out a spring. The desert people who got the spring called my actions a miracle, and I was also called a goddess, and that spring was also called the Goddess Spring."
"It's a pity that everything Master has seen is something I cannot touch. Sometimes I wonder if Master's brain was damaged by the wind and sand in the Golden Sand Sea, and he used the skills of the Water Moon Temple to create such a wonderful and absurd dream, and finally he couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality."
Taoist Shuiyue's expression was somewhat moved when she spoke to the end, but when she looked at the "airship" picture drawn by Lu Feng, she became excited again.
"However, that was what I thought before. It was not until I saw this thing today that I realized that everything my master experienced was true! In the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions where my master went, this thing is called a steam airship."
Taoist Shuiyue pointed at the pattern on the paper and explained:
"This thing called an airship is not actually a real magic weapon. Instead, it is a special thing that has been added through some tricks to give it the power to lift heavy objects. Now this thing that is similar to a cabin is used to carry people and control the flight of the airship! You can see at the tail of the cabin, there is also something similar to a windmill, which is connected to a power supply called a steam boiler in the cabin. The steam boiler can provide the windmill with power to propel the airship."
Taoist Shuiyue's explanation was not very clear, but there was no fool among those present.
In Lu Feng's previous life, there existed similar airships in the wizarding world today, but there were some differences in individual details. The other principles were basically the same, so one could understand them as soon as he heard them.
Taoist Song and others are all very smart people, and they are also the smartest people in their respective sects.
They don't understand what steam is?
I don't know how to use steam and windmills to push something as big as an "airship" into the sky.
However, combining their sect's collection of books and knowledge of refining equipment, they quickly guessed the general principle of the "airship" and understood that this was a feasible new idea for allowing people to fly into the sky.
"If we can find a way to localize this 'airship', maybe the Hongye Club can become famous throughout the Daxuan Dynasty." Luo Xueqing thought to herself.
"If we can build an airship, we won't have to envy Qingmu Temple's flying boat anymore." This is what the leaders of other sects think.
But at this point, Lu Feng and the others also understood the origin of this airship.
"It seems that the 'Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions' that Daoist Fellow Shuiyue could never find have found their way to us, and Dahe Temple must have just hooked up with them!"
Lu Feng concluded.
