Chapter 56 Chapter 56 There are good things
Lu Zhi got straight to the point. Zhu Dan, also a straightforward person, said, "You are indeed special. Your good fortune allows me to refine an elixir. I named it the Cocoon-Breaking Pill."
"Cocoon-breaking Pill?" Lu Zhi's heart moved.
In fact, Lu Zhi's experience can also be described as bitter before sweet, but Zhu Dan doesn't want to use this term, as if Lu Zhi suffered enough for Liu Bang and finally ushered in a happy life.
Rather than "after suffering comes sweetness", she prefers the phrase "a butterfly emerges from its cocoon", just like the phrase used to describe Zheng Ge: God will give great responsibilities to this person.
Zhu Dan explained, "The phrase 'breaking the cocoon' refers to the process of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. I've thought about it and it could be applied to the crops we grow. It would allow them to survive the rain, dew, wind and frost, and by the time autumn comes, we'll have a bountiful harvest."
"However, according to my design, this elixir will be more effective if used in some rugged and dangerous situations."
Lu Zhi couldn't help but smile. Having been with Zhu Dan for so long, she knew a little about the principles of the imperial master's alchemy.
The elixir that each person can refine is unique, corresponding to her own attributes.
Although Lu Zhi has not yet figured out the relationship between Xiahou Ying and Yu Miao Dan, the national teacher praised her as a person who can break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. How can she not be happy?
This is a very high evaluation of her.
"Since the Imperial Master also has plans, when will we start refining the elixir?"
Zhu Dan was speechless. Are you so impatient to do it?
She took out a bracelet and put it on Lu Zhi: "There is no rush. You can use it to accumulate for a while."
When Lü Zhi saw the bracelet, she immediately recalled Xiahou Ying's story and nodded slightly. "I'll keep an eye on it. When the red color of this bracelet fades, I'll come find the Imperial Master."
"Yeah." Zhu Dan waved her hand. "If there's nothing else, go ahead and get busy."
Lu Zhi walked out of the room and laughed again.
Although this trip was somewhat different from her expectations, she did not start refining the elixir and the Imperial Master did not tell her about the subsequent arrangements, but she knew that she had already made a name for herself in the Imperial Master's place.
Given how generous the Imperial Master is towards his subordinates, he will definitely not treat her unfairly.
Zhu Dan really would not treat anyone unfairly. In fact, she was very envious of the cocoon-breaking pill that was refined using Lu Zhi's luck.
The reason why it was not refined immediately was because two medicinal ingredients were still missing.
Of course, it is also a good idea to use the bracelet to store some luck first.
If she didn't have to be willing to draw luck, she would have given them all the bracelets on the first day she arrived in Pei County.
After all, the big guys in Pei County are different from others. Even if Zhu Dan can deceive them by relying on the information advantage in the early stage, it will be difficult to gain their trust once something happens. It is better to be honest from the beginning.
Zhu Dan soon discovered that Pei County was indeed a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and the two medicinal herbs were found in a short time.
This is also thanks to the white snake that can come and go freely underground. Since it has been bound to himself, Zhu Dan can also unlock the places it has been to.
After the white snake became familiar with the farming operations, it could run through all the experimental fields in one day, and the effect could last for seven or eight days.
Zhu Dan simply let it out to play for the rest of the time. She didn't expect it to find anything good for her, but she was not a devil after all, and the White Snake was just a small child laborer, so she couldn't exploit it too harshly.
If we let it develop a feeling of disgust, it will be very troublesome to expand the arable land in the future. It is better to work one day and rest six days as it is now, combining work and rest.
Anyway, Zhu Dan pays it according to the amount of work it does. Maybe it will be spontaneously inspired to work harder and ask for more work?
Later, it was discovered that letting the white snake run free had another benefit, which was that it could unlock more maps. Zhu Dan became more tolerant of it and gave it more freedom.
"Master, there are really good things over there, but it's so weird that I can't find it and can't get in." The white snake led the way in front and communicated with Zhu Dan in his heart.
After finishing his farming work, Zhu Dan quickly started a large pig farm.
For this purpose, she even wrote a letter to Xianyang and transferred a pig farming technician.
If the White Snake had not told her about it, and she had glanced at the map she had unlocked, she would not have discovered that the two materials had been found. After all, the bracelet that Lu Zhi wore only stored half of her luck, so she was not in a hurry.
When Zhu Dan heard what Baishe said, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
One is for the materials, and the other is that it was indeed a surprise.
The white snake is a rare spiritual creature. In its previous life, it was killed by Liu Bang. What could stump it?
When they arrived at the location, before Zhu Dan could explore it carefully, Wutong suddenly flew out.
The white snake was frightened and swam quickly behind Zhu Dan, looking timid.
It had a soul contract with Zhu Dan, and vaguely sensed that a terrifying and powerful being resided within Zhu Dan's soul. However, Wutong rarely spoke, and most of the time his presence was incredibly low. But now...
The blood-colored alchemy cauldron came out and no one could ignore it.
Zhu Dan's mouth twitched. Fortunately, she didn't expect the white snake to fight for her, otherwise this guy... She shook her head and asked Wutong: "What did you find?"
A figure emerged from the crimson alchemy cauldron. He was dressed in white and had a cold aura. Only when he looked at Zhu Dan did his eyes soften a little: "I feel the aura of the formation."
"What the hell?" Zhu Dan was so shocked that he almost jumped up. "Could it be that there are other cultivators in Daqin besides the two of us?"
Almost instantly, Zhu Dan thought of the group of old men who had perished with her in her previous life. Could it be that they were also lucky enough to travel to the Qin Dynasty like herself?
She felt a chill down her back.
Wutong also knew what she meant and quickly said, "It's not man-made."
Unlike some settings in the world of cultivation where elixirs, tools, talismans and arrays develop in a balanced manner, the place Zhu Dan traveled to respected alchemy, and all the rest were unorthodox.
Even if there is a formation, it is not systematic. It cannot be used to enter the Tao like the alchemy, nor can it be used as a powerful tool.
But Wutong is different. Wutong has inherited a very interesting tradition.
Although the core purpose was to refine his own alchemy furnace into a life-saving magic weapon, it also allowed him to indirectly come into contact with a weapon refining inheritance.
The formation and weapon refining have similarities. Some magic weapons are engraved with unique formation patterns, which can increase their power by at least half a percent, and as much as 30%, not to mention that some spiritual objects are born with Taoist patterns.
The formation text was derived from the Taoist text and is a man-made summary of text that borrows the power of heaven and earth.
Wutong was much more perceptive than Zhu Dan in this regard. He turned around and looked fixedly in that direction: "If my guess is correct, this should be a naturally formed formation."
Zhu Dan's eyes lit up immediately.
Natural array patterns are not formed casually. It is no exaggeration to say that they have already taken shape as the prototype of a paradise. If they evolve further, they will become a small secret realm or even a small world.
Of course, in the last days of the Qin Dynasty, Zhu Dan didn't dare to think that far ahead. She simply thought, "Such a blessed place, wouldn't it be possible for many good things to be born?"
That’s right, Zhu Dan now only needs those two materials to refine the Cocoon-Breaking Pill, but if she comes across other good things, she will not let them go.
"Let's go and take a look." Wutong nodded.
One thing that makes natural formations more difficult to deal with than man-made formations is that they are often based on the local rocky terrain.
Unless you destroy the entire mountain, it will be difficult to break the formation.
Originally, Zhu Dan had a map in his mind, and with the white snake, a spiritual creature that was very sensitive to good things, leading the way, it stands to reason that they should be able to gain something soon.
But they kept going around in circles and still couldn't find the right direction.
The white snake hissed in anger and complained to Zhu Dan.
It originally realized that there were good things in here, and wanted to take them back to give to Zhu Dan. If Zhu Dan was happy, wouldn't he share his luck with it?
As a result, the ideal is very good, but the reality is so skinny that it is impossible to get into it.
Zhu Dan rubbed his solar plexus and withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
This mountain is not small, but as Zhu Dan explored it inch by inch with his spiritual sense, he was able to model it in his mind.
She was very sure that everything she had experienced was not what she wanted.
"Is it really true that we can only go back and get people to come and cut down trees to clear the road?"
This can also be considered a violent way to break the formation, but Zhu Dan doesn't want to do this unless it is absolutely necessary.
Where there are natural formations, good things can often be accumulated.
She is not in the world of cultivation now, and she is only doing a one-time business. She has finally come across a paradise, and she still wants to keep it.
Isn’t it good to have sustainable development like this year after year?
Wutong thought so too, otherwise he could have used force to clear the way like he did last time when he discovered the copper mine.
Just as the two were thinking silently, Wutong's ears moved, and Zhu Dan also quickly glanced in one direction. Someone was coming.
Wait, what is this… After releasing his spiritual sense to detect who the other party was, Zhu Dan raised an eyebrow: "Why are they here?"
The people who came turned out to be Liu Bang, Xiahou Ying and others.
Could it be that Liu Bang really had a connection with Mangdang Mountain? Even though his butterfly fell and he hid in Mangdang Mountain, he would still come here?
Noticing that the noise was getting louder and louder, Wutong didn't want to meet outsiders and returned to Zhu Dan's sea of consciousness.
Zhu Dan had no intention of avoiding Liu Bang. Her intuition told her that perhaps Liu Bang could lead her to the right place.
Although this guess sounds incredible, if someone told her in the world of cultivation that an ordinary mortal could find the location of the secret realm, she would definitely laugh at the other person.
But this is the Great Qin, using popularity instead of spiritual energy, and considering Liu Bang's identity as the son of destiny, it is not impossible.
Liu Ji and his group were chasing a deer, and they were all surprised to see Zhu Dan.
"Master, why are you here alone? It's very dangerous here?" Liu Ji asked worriedly.
Zhu Dan spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "I observed the celestial phenomena last night and discovered that there was a treasure here, so I came here."
Everyone: "..." They wanted to say that the other party was talking nonsense, but she was indeed the national teacher.
Isn’t it normal for the national teacher to have some magical powers of divination and fortune-telling?
"So, what are you now, Imperial Master?"
Sensing Liu Bang's probing, Zhu Dan became even more serious. "It's not that I'm not skilled enough, I only found this place, but I can't figure out the details. Why don't you all help me find it?"
She did not specifically point out Liu Bang. Liu Bang was a son of destiny, and his brothers were not ordinary people either.
If one is not enough, everyone can come together and maybe we can find it.
Liu Ji, Xiahou Ying, Fan Kuai and others looked at each other, half believing and half doubting.
I told myself that this was unlikely. After all, they often came to Mangdang Mountain to hunt to improve their lives, and they had not found any treasures here.
But the national master is different after all.
So they gave up on the deer that had run away and started searching nearby.
While searching, Liu Ji asked about the specific situation, and Zhu Dan explained them one by one according to the map in his mind.
The more carefully she spoke, the more people believed her.
Suddenly Liu Ji stopped and pointed at a cliff and asked, "Isn't this place a bit strange?"
Zhu Dan looked over quickly and saw that the mountain wall was covered with vines. What was strange was probably that the vines were thicker than those elsewhere and seemed to be dead.
But this is already a relatively deep place in Mangdang Mountain, and ordinary people dare not go so far. It is not surprising that everything is more like a primeval forest.
But since Liu Bang said so, Zhu Dan must check it carefully.
She walked forward and pulled down the vines that looked like pythons in just a few seconds.
Liu Ji behind him opened his mouth wide, took a step forward involuntarily, and also grabbed a vine. However, after pulling for a long time, the vine did not move.
Zhou Bo couldn't help but laugh at Liu Ji: "Brother, you are not good enough." The national teacher is not even as good as a delicate little girl.
Of course, I didn’t dare say the latter sentence.
After all, Liu Ji and Xiao He repeatedly told them to respect the nobles from Xianyang.
Xiahou Ying had seen Zhu Dan's bravery in catching an arrow with one hand, and knew she was no ordinary woman, so he said, "Why don't you go forward and try it too?"
"Let's give it a try." Zhou Bo originally wanted to grab a vine farther away, but Liu Ji silently stepped aside. He then stepped forward, bent down, and grabbed it with his big hands. He sank his Qi into his Dantian, but failed to move it?
Zhou Bo's face flushed red, and he clenched his hands, but even though he was sweating profusely, he still couldn't shake the vines at all.
He was incredulous: "How is this possible?"
Zhu Dan had already guessed it.
As expected of a man chosen by destiny, they had been wandering around for a long time without noticing anything unusual about the mountain wall, but Liu Bang noticed it after walking around it twice.
It was normal that Zhou Bo couldn't shake the vines. These vines looked dead at first glance, but they were actually deeply rooted in the stone wall.
Zhu Dan's spiritual consciousness spread in, and he was shocked to see that the roots had pierced through the thick rock like steel bars. It was obvious that they had been transformed by spiritual power and had mutated.
Now that the location was found, Zhu Dan no longer hesitated. He quickly cleared out all the vines and then groped around.
Then Liu Ji and his group were shocked to see that Zhu Dan had actually pushed the mountain wall forward.
Liu Ji was rarely so upset, his eyes widening as if they were bells. "I've only heard of a Qin king who was strong enough to lift a tripod," and was crushed to death by it. "But is there anyone who can even move a mountain?"
"%＆#＊%Is this still a human being?" Xiahou Ying and Fan Kuai couldn't help but curse.
Zhu Dan's mouth twitched and he continued to push the stone forward.
After she took three or five steps, everyone realized what was going on and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it turns out that it wasn't the mountain wall that was moved, but a big rock..." No, no, no, this is also scary!
They looked at each other, feeling that they had underestimated the national teacher.
I originally thought she was an alchemy technician, but I didn't expect she was also a strong woman with supernatural powers.
Zhu Dan didn't care about the whispers of Liu Bang and others, because her attention was focused on the cave revealed after the stones were removed.
At the same time, Wutong's voice rang in her ears: "The natural formation has been opened. Go in and take a look. There are good things inside."
