"Speaking of which, Qianqian, do you know where such an awesome headquarters came from? Or rather, who built it?"
"Why are you asking about this?" Han Qianqian looked suspicious, "Don't say I don't know, I can't tell you even if I know."
"Then do you know or not? It's quite mysterious. Is this still confidential?"
"This is the highest level secret. I don't have the authority to know it, and Director Sun probably doesn't know either." Han Qianqian's expression didn't look like he was lying, which aroused Xu Qian's curiosity.
"Old man Sun doesn't know either? Who in the Special Branch knows?" Xu Qian asked tentatively.
Han Qianqian's wariness against Xu Qian has long since disappeared. His achievements have long made Han Qianqian completely trust this young man of unknown origin.
"If there is only one person in the Special Branch who knows about it, that person must be Mr. Xuan."
"Mr. Xuan? The number one expert on the advisory board of the Special Branch?" Xu Qian was very surprised. It seems that the headquarters itself hides a huge secret.
The two of them chatted and came to the seventh place.
Xu Shaoxiong greeted him enthusiastically, "Qianqian, Xu Qian, you must have had a great time chatting along the way."
"Why do you say that?" Xu Qian frowned.
"He means that we are walking slowly, and he has been waiting for a long time." Han Qianqian is also very familiar with Xu Shaoxiong, and even knows his joking ways.
The three of them exchanged a few words, and then Xu Shaoxiong led them into the pill manufacturing factory.
Xu Qian had a good impression of Xu Shaoxiong from the beginning. He even helped him last night, and he treated this new friend as one of his own when talking.
"You are such a big director, why are you here to personally lead the way for me?" This question is not considered a greeting, but also a real question in Xu Qian's heart.
It was fine for Han Qianqian to receive him in person. After all, they were familiar with each other and she was from the Third Office. But Xu Shaoxiong felt it was too much to do this.
Han Qianqian and Xu Shaoxiong turned to look at Xu Qian at the same time, as if he had told a big joke.
Finally, Han Qianqian explained: "You are now a strong man in the Tengyun Realm, and you are qualified to be selected into our advisory group. As long as you come to the headquarters, at least the director will be there to receive you. If you want If the deputy director or even director Sun comes to receive you, it’s just a matter of your words.”
Oh I see? Xu Qian was stunned for a while. He was just a senior in high school. Countless years ago, he was just an extra and had no social status at all. If a matter is placed in front of him for him to consider, he knows how to consider the problem in a roundabout way from these rules and regulations, but this matter just happens to him naturally, and he will not think about it so much.
However, a kind of emotion flashed in his heart like an enlightenment.
Yes, he has not deliberately realized it along the way. In fact, he has reached a relatively high position among ordinary monks. Although he feels that he is still weak, that is because the person he is referring to is the top in the world. Strong. Regardless of the fact that he has dealt with many enemies, it is not that those who are unbearable or those who want his life are not strong enough, it is just that he is too strong. Almost none of his former enemies are weak. He kept walking up, and inadvertently, he had reached a considerable height.
What appeared in front of Xu Qian's eyes was a complete assembly line. From the selection of raw materials, transporting them into the furnace, refining, and producing the elixir, everything was completed by integrated machinery, without any manual labor, to the final packaging into boxes and transportation. Putting it somewhere is even easier. In addition to the assembly line, there are also several artificial intelligence robots running through it, seemingly monitoring something.
"It's really awesome! You can make alchemy without people. Aren't those alchemists going to be mad to death if you do this?"
Xu Shaoxiong smiled and said: "That's not the case. The elixirs that the assembly line can produce are only the lowest-level elixirs, such as Qiyuan Dan. Slightly higher-level elixirs still require alchemists. Our Seventh Division only produces some low-level elixirs. Pills, after all, there is a huge demand for such low-level pills. If you rely on alchemists to refine them, you will not be able to meet the demand. You have to know that our Chinese pills are best-selling all over the world, with a market share of more than 80% in the world. .”
Xu Qian looked at Xu Shaoxiong as if he were a monster, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Today I finally got to see you. It turns out that you are the world's number one entrepreneur hiding in the city!"
His words amused both division chiefs.
After visiting, the three of them arrived at the core gathering spirit array.
Xu Qian has already mastered the formation technique, and he can still see a few of these.
"What an exquisite formation." Xu Qian praised.
Nine large trees formed a circle, surrounding a large tree dozens of meters high in the center. If you are a monk who is not familiar with formations, you will only see this appearance.
But Xu Qian saw the clue at a glance, "Using trees as the base of the formation solves the embarrassment and trouble of needing the Star Source Stone to provide the energy of the formation base. This is really eye-opening!"
The so-called embarrassment is that this formation itself is used to condense spiritual energy. If a large amount of Star Source Stones are consumed, it is indeed like lighting a match with a lighter, and the task of replacing Star Source Stones is also a very trivial matter. It would be best not to do it.
The design here is to use trees, which can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As the base of the formation, the spirit gathering array itself can absorb the spiritual energy easily and quickly. Therefore, trees are equivalent to recycling stars that can never be used up. Source Stone. Moreover, Xu Qian could also see that the placement and angle of the nine trees on the periphery and the tree in the center were all very precise. Anyone who could arrange such a formation must be a monk with extremely high attainments in formation. .
"Who arranged this formation?"
"Haha, you are really discerning. This formation is the work of Mr. Deng. He is the number one formation expert in the Special Branch today. Even if we look at the whole of China, no one can surpass him."
"Deng Lao?" A name appeared in Xu Qian's mind, one he had scolded countless times - Deng Jinshui.
At first, he spent a lot of money to buy a book "26 Lectures on the Basics of Formation" in the Special Branch system. It's not that this book is not good, but Xu Qian thought it was too confusing, so he spent 1,450 performance points on it. He got an e-book with only 27 pages, and the nonsense on the first page cost him 5 million soft girl coins. The author of this book is Deng Jinshui.
Han Qianqian and Xu Shaoxiong saw Xu Qian's surprised expression and thought he knew Deng Jinshui, so Xu Shaoxiong asked: "What, do you know Mr. Deng?"
"The Mr. Deng you are talking about is called Deng Jinshui?"
"Yes!" Xu Shaoxiong was even more confused. "Do you really know Mr. Deng?"
Xu Qian was embarrassed to say that he still wanted to ask Deng Jinshui for his money back, so he casually said, "I learned some introductory formations from him..."
"Ah?" Xu Shaoxiong's expression changed drastically, from confusion to surprise, "So you are still my junior brother!"
What? Junior brother? Xu Qian looked confused.
"Mr. Deng is one of his three teachers. If you have also learned formations from Mr. Deng, you two can indeed be considered brothers." Han Qianqian explained at the side, but she looked at Xu Qian's eyes changing. I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
Well, Xu Qian just acquiesced. He had indeed studied Deng Jinshui's 26 lectures. It was not false, but just because of this, it was a bit far-fetched to say that he was a disciple of Deng Jinshui. But who said Xu Qian was thick-skinned? It's easy to act. How can I wait until I'm not an actor at a time like this? After a few words, Xu Qian and Xu Shaoxiong really recognized themselves as senior brothers and agreed that they would treat each other as senior brothers when there were no outsiders.
Xu Qian also felt at ease, "You defrauded me of so much money, what's wrong with me defrauding you of your name? It's not a real benefit. I won't ask you for that money. If we really meet you next time, my name is Just tell the teacher and we will start working together."
He was not afraid that Xu Shaoxiong would ask Deng Jinshui for help. He had already discussed with Xu Shaoxiong in advance, saying that it was just a chance to get some introductory knowledge from Deng Jinshui. It had been a long time, and he did not say his name at the time, so It was normal for Deng Jinshui not to remember him.
After acknowledging their marriage, Xu Qian sat under the central tree and started practicing. He was about to spend five days here, and Han Qianqian and Xu Shaoxiong left.
