"Is this possible?"
"It's not impossible, the power of creation may appear anywhere. For example, Sun Wukong on Huaguo Mountain - if he really exists, then Sun Wukong is born and raised, the aggregation of the power of creation. So Sun Wukong saw it for the first time When he was the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he told the Dragon King that he was a 'born saint'. But are you Sun Wukong? It doesn't look like it, you have no hair on your face. Or do you have luck to help you and great power to protect you?"
Wen Yuan guessed many possibilities, but he couldn't guess the reason himself. The elixir refined by Shangluo seemed to appear out of thin air, inexplicably sensing the "creation of heaven and earth" and producing "genuine energy" out of thin air.
"How about you try first to see if it can be made into a medicine. If it doesn't work, we can replace it with a better furnace or take it back to Jinei and then think of a solution." Wen Yuan suggested.
"It doesn't matter if you try it, but how do you eat this lump?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I brought it for you." He took out a small bag from his back. The bag said "high-gluten flour", which was produced at the food processing plant of the San Francisco Health Center.
He shook the flour and pointed at the red mud in the pot: "Pour the flour in just enough to form the red mud into balls. That's it."
“Use flour???”
"Yes, why can't we use flour? Flour is the essence of grains and grains, and it is not an impurity anywhere. You can also add starch and honey. Otherwise, how do you think those pills on the market are mixed together?"
"No." Shangluo shook his head, "The recipe doesn't say there is flour, so I can't add flour."
"It makes sense." Wen Yuan put away the flour, "You have the good fortune of heaven and earth here, and I don't know how it came about. There is only a thin line of good fortune between heaven and earth, and it is hard-won. Our approach is as long as we can If it works, it's best not to touch it... Tsk, my master always fails in making elixirs. I'm just wondering if he is too rigid and doesn't dare to go beyond that. If only he knew that you can make such a skill I’m afraid he’ll be so angry that he’ll get a stomachache from the elixir. He hasn’t dared to make an elixir until now.”
"By the way." Shangluo raised his head and asked him, "What did your master say? You were on the phone for a long time."
"He changed hands and made a phone call back to Kinei, and then immediately asked me to come back and let me tell you not to stop. Sure enough, you really refined this elixir. Is this considered one turn? Maybe one more turn is needed. It takes transformation to become the golden elixir. So it's best not to eat it now. Building a foundation is not that simple. After you get back Yujing, you can eat it after we have prepared everything for you - you have to know that there is nothing between heaven and earth There is only one thread of aura. If you succeed in building the foundation, the empire will have one more top combat force. We all hope that you can succeed and open up the way for others. And if something goes wrong with you by then, other sect members will be able to do it in time. save you."
"Then did he say...about 2.7 million?"
"2.7 million?" Wen Yuan touched his head, "What 2.7 million? You're not talking about the welding stations that exploded, are you?"
"Yes, yes, how are those?"
"Hi!" Wen Yuan slapped his thigh, "Why did I think you were running away? Are you worried about this? That's just the thunder dragon blasting the warehouse. You know the thunder dragon blasting the warehouse, right? It's the same as the fire dragon burning the warehouse, my traditional craft of the Ming Dynasty . It’s not that much at all. Only 500,000 taels.”
"500,000 taels??? Then I can't afford to pay it back!"
"Who said you should pay it back? You are my military craftsman, and the court will take care of it for you. It's okay, the court is very rich, and no one will ask you to pursue this matter. After all, even the carrots have been asked by everyone have eaten."
"Carrot?" Shangluo blinked, "What carrot?"
"Ah! By the way, I forgot to mention it. Do you know why I was so surprised when I saw you making elixirs with human blood? Because there are ready-made spiritual objects that you have no use for, so there is no need to use blood."
"You mean? Turnips? Those turnips in San Francisco?"
"yes."
"Are there carrots everywhere outside?"
"yes."
"The carrot in the cafeteria?"
"Yes! What else could it be?"
"That's a spiritual thing?! Isn't that a huge pile! Those radishes are piled up in mountains, and hundreds of thousands of tons of radishes are sent back every year. Is that a spiritual thing???"
"Let me correct you." Wen Yuan said sternly, "That is not an ordinary radish, that is a 'immortal root radish', a natural spiritual creature. The purpose of the existence of the San Francisco Health Center is to plant those immortal roots in the new world where spiritual energy is abundant. radish."
"What does the court want with so many radishes?"
"Of course you eat it. Haven't you been eating it since you were a child? It's a nutritious lunch that everyone has been eating since elementary school. You think it's ordinary, maybe because you eat too much. In fact, all those radishes are spiritual The food is fairy root radish. Every radish has the effect of relaxing tendons and cutting marrow. It can nourish the body as a snack since childhood. The earlier you eat the spiritual food that can ease tendons and cut marrow, the more beneficial it will be to the body, so we give it to everyone All school children eat it. This is compulsory education. The imperial court has money, and the imperial court is willing to spend money on its own people. As long as they are common people in the Kinei, everyone can eat from childhood to adulthood."
"Oh my God...Is this still my Ming Dynasty that buckles up and down?"
"What did you say?"
"Ah, it's nothing, just keep talking."
"Anyway, that radish itself is the root of immortality. When you ate the radish, did you feel the turbid air flowing down along the meridians and coming out of the place of reincarnation of grains?"
"You mean fart?"
"Tsk, that's not an ordinary fart. Some people don't fart after eating it, so it's of no use. Because their spiritual roots are not enough, they can't expel much turbid gas. And if you keep eating, it will be useful once you eat it. That's it. It can slowly clear out the acquired turbidity and slowly shape the body into an innate body - so the carrot has laid the foundation for everyone. The court does not want anyone to fall behind, and everyone has immortality. Opportunities. Those who have special opportunities will be selected and cultivated."
He pointed at himself: "Like me. Of course you should also count. You just didn't pass the inspection on time. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have been a craftsman by now - but you stay in the radish-producing area, and it seems that the radish you eat More than others. You just don’t take advantage of it.”
"Wait..." Shangluo suddenly remembered something, "I finished repairing the generator that day, and those old fitters took me upstairs and specially ordered a lot of radishes?"
"Then they are really good people. Everyone has a ration of fairy roots, but the extra food outside the ration is very expensive. They are afraid that you will damage your true energy, so they specially take you to eat a lot of radishes. They Isn’t it because you haven’t eaten yet and you keep urging you to eat more?”
"So that's it... So that's it. Then they are all monks?"
"They are all in the Qi training stage and are weaker than me, but the military craftsmen who were stationed at this key point must have two brushes. It's just that they haven't made progress in so many years, and it's probably impossible to build a foundation, so I hope you eat more - Hey, can't you feel it? Damn it, you can feel the machines talking, but you can't feel their cultivation? I feel more and more strange, how on earth did you capture the secret? ?Did God open a small stove specially for you?"
"I don't know. Then my pills..." He looked at the ones in his furnace, "Can these things be repeated? I'm wondering if I can refine more."
"I'm afraid not. Alchemy is a non-repeatable process. Everyone refines elixirs for themselves. If it can be repeated, then after one person successfully builds the foundation, won't everyone else build the foundation? Everyone has their own way to cultivate immortality. It's not easy to take away human creation. It's getting late. You put these elixirs in oil paper and let's go back first. Master is waiting to see you... Huh? What's the noise? My eardrums suddenly felt a little... pain."
【You can't leave. Phaethon, fetch me the elixir of immortality from the Cathay alchemist. 】
A strange voice appeared in Shangluo's ears. Different from Apollonia, this voice is majestic, grand, and even scorching almost substantively.
【Helios! It's you! ] Apollonia's light met the fiery breath, [I won't let you do it again this time...]
Apollonia's voice stopped abruptly.
[If I can shoot you down once, I can shoot you down a second time, Apollonia. Don't resist in vain, come home with me. Thor, Aton, Amon, Ra... brothers are all waiting for you to return. You're grounded until the end of the program. 】
