Jiang Yuebai was surrounded by Zhuge Xiu and Zhuge Yi, who were engaged in a heated debate. Zhuge Hongjian came back, overheard the debate, and joined in.
Jiang Yuebai was facing three people at the same time. When faced with various questions, he could answer them eloquently and used one of his divine thoughts to record his thoughts. For the questions he could not answer, he used another of his divine thoughts to record them in a jade slip.
There was also a divine thought, secretly sorting out the doubts that arose when he was doing the test just now, and seizing the opportunity to consult the three great elders of the Zhuge family.
Everyone has their own expertise and strengths, and they teach each other, ask for advice and discuss with each other, and everyone makes progress.
But the three people obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of Jiang Yuebai's brain. One question could lead to three or four new questions. First, the old man with a moustache, Zhuge Xiu, was defeated.
"Wait a minute, I'll drink some water and work out these equations. You guys go first."
Zhuge Xiu stepped aside and took a sip of tea to calm himself. He couldn't understand why Jiang Yuebai was so fast at math, so fast...
Zhuge Yi, whose small eyes could not see clearly, accidentally turned a page in Jiang Yuebai's booklet and discovered other formation problems she had recorded. Some of them were things he had already known about and were nothing surprising, but there were also some fantastic ideas, such as reversing the formation, which made Zhuge Yi very interested.
This reverse formation was the one Jiang Yuebai mentioned to Zhao Fuyi when he first sat down to ask Zhao Fuyi a question in the Cang Yan land of the Earth Spirit Realm. He was thrown out after only three days.
Later, Zhao Fuyi took it to heart and verified a set of methods after many years. This method is not suitable for all formations, especially for beginners, the failure rate of using this method to set up formations is extremely high.
However, when it comes to the application of formations in weapon refining, reverse formation is particularly useful.
Zhuge Yi had tried before to first draw a rough outline of the talisman array on the Yanjia, then take it apart, complete each part one by one, and finally put it back together, so that the connections between the various parts of the array would not be loose due to the piecing together.
This is actually also a reverse formation, but there were too many failures, so Zhuge Yi thought that this method would not work until he saw the notes in Jiang Yuebai's booklet.
She actually succeeded!
"Senior Sister Hong Jian, please ask later. Let me go first. I am in a hurry, very urgent!"
Zhuge Yi pushed Zhuge Hongjian aside and shoved Jiang Yuebai's booklet into Jiang Yuebai's face.
Zhuge Hongjian took Jiang Yuebai a step back and said, "Don't be impatient, Junior Brother. We haven't finished talking yet. Junior Sister Wangshu, let's continue..."
Jiang Yuebai was being fought over and the scene was a bit chaotic.
Tie Wanjiang stood beside the table in the middle of the quiet room, took out a small tripod as big as his head, put the finger-sized silver frost bamboo in it, took out the bottle containing purple jade grass dew, and poured it directly into the tripod with the bottle mouth facing down.
The purple jade grass dew quickly submerged the silver frost bamboo. Zhuge Shou, the supreme elder Zhuge Jing, Mo Baichun and Zhuge Zigan all gathered around and looked into the cauldron.
Tie Wanjiang folded his arms, looking very determined.
The cold air on the silver frost bamboo was rampant, and in the blink of an eye it froze all the dew in the cauldron into a lump of ice.
Tie Wanjiang glared and pointed at the tripod, "See, I told you that everything would be frozen. This method doesn't work at all!"
Tie Wanjiang's voice was loud and clear, like thunder, causing the three people who were discussing nearby and Zhuge Xiu who was working on a problem at his desk to turn around and look at him.
Jiang Yuebai just glanced at him casually, then looked away with a slight curl of his lips.
Tie Wanjiang was about to speak, but the head of the family, Zhuge Shou, raised his hand to stop him, "Look carefully at that silver frost bamboo."
Tie Wanjiang stared over and saw that the silver bamboo frozen in the center seemed to fade, gradually losing its silver color, and soon merged with the entire ice block.
Jiang Yuebai's voice came, "Elder Tie now only needs to burn the alchemy cauldron with alchemy fire for a quarter of an hour to evaporate the water, and what will be left is very pure bamboo essence without any waste."
The original method required burning with Dan fire for six hours to extract the bamboo essence. Now, it only takes about a quarter of an hour, saving half a day.
And it is obvious that the bamboo essence soaked in this way is purer than that forged by fire, and no residue will be produced. The quality of the things refined at that time will definitely be higher.
Tie Wanjiang blinked his big, copper-bell eyes and couldn't help glancing at the other answers in the question set. He began to doubt whether those methods were really feasible.
Grand Elder Zhuge Jing laughed heartily, "Elder Tie, the Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead, your method of refining weapons should be innovated. The methods passed down by the predecessors are reliable and safe, but they may not be the most effective methods. Sticking to the old ways will only make you stand still."
Zhuge Zigan and Mo Baichun nodded slightly. The Zhuge family opened up the way for talents in order to continuously innovate in all aspects so that the Zhuge family could always be at the forefront of the world of cultivation.
"Okay, Zhuge Shou, please ask her to come outside. I want to ask her a few questions."
The Grand Elder Zhuge Jing left the quiet room first. Zhuge Shou interrupted Jiang Yuebai and the others and took Jiang Yuebai to the giant bronze puppet in the square of the Internal Affairs Hall to meet the Grand Elder.
"Let's be frank. Are you really willing to stay in the Zhuge family as a guest elder?"
Zhuge Jing looked at the huge bronze puppet in front of him and asked Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai knew that Zhuge Jing wanted to know what her purpose was in joining the Zhuge family.
As for the Zhuge family, apart from some negligible unpleasantness, overall, she liked the atmosphere and people here, especially the elders mentioned earlier, who were indeed knowledgeable in some aspects and could enable her to learn and improve.
So Jiang Yuebai nodded and no longer concealed it.
"To be honest, I am looking for a method to refine my spirit. This is very important to my cultivation, and it is one of the purposes of my coming to the Zhuge family. There is another thing, and I am really sorry. I did not mean to hide it. In fact, I am not a casual cultivator. I belong to a sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Shou looked at Jiang Yuebai in surprise.
Grand Elder Zhuge Jing was not surprised at all. He smiled and nodded, "As expected, a sect that can train an outstanding disciple like you must be a famous one, right?"
Jiang Yuebai smiled, glanced at the bronze giant puppet and asked, "I wonder if you have heard of the Tianyan Sect of the Earth Spirit Realm?"
This time, it was Zhuge Jing who looked over in surprise, sizing Jiang Yuebai up and down.
"You are a disciple of Tianyan Sect in the Earth Spirit Realm, the Tianyan Sect of Immortal Lord Lu Xingyun?"
Jiang Yuebai's heart moved slightly, "Yes, it is the Tianyan Sect. Senior, do you know the founder of my Tianyan Sect?"
Zhuge Jing took a breath and nodded, "Speaking of which, the Zhuge family can be what it is today, all thanks to the guidance given by the Immortal Lord to the ancestors of the Zhuge family. Including the various systems that the Zhuge family has used until now, they were all proposed by the Immortal Lord, and this one."
Zhuge Jing pointed his chin at the giant bronze puppet in front of him.
"This is what the Immortal brought out from the Earth Spirit Realm and gifted to the Zhuge family. It contains the Immortal's wonderful ideas for the transformation of Yanjia. The Zhuge family's Yanjia technique, which is now the best among the heroes, was also learned from here. So strictly speaking, the Zhuge family is also the Immortal's inheritance."
"In fact, the Zhuge family has also met several Tianyan Sect's True Gods in other realms, and some of them have temporarily stayed in the Zhuge family. It is fate that I met you again today."
The monthly ticket is about to reach 3500. Thank you everyone. I will update in advance. This time, I really have nothing left. See you tomorrow~
