Industrial Cultivation

Chapter 60: Fairy Xia Jue

Objectively speaking, the power of the pressure cooker bomb is much inferior to that of the thunder and fire beads.

The problem is that Hai Qingshan spent a lot of time and energy, and put a lot of effort into refining the Thunder and Fire Pearl.

Everyone saw the process of Zhu Changyang making the pressure cooker bomb. He just had to process the gunpowder a little and put it in the pot.

The operation is not even much more difficult than cooking a pot of pork ribs soup.

Most importantly, isn't a pot used for cooking? Why is it so scary!

All the disciples of Jijin Sect looked dazed, with question marks written all over their faces.

Elder Cen had seen a lot of the world, so he was the first to react and exclaimed, "Your young friend has a unique idea, which is admirable."

Hai Qingshan suddenly came back to his senses and bowed deeply to Zhu Changyang: "I was narrow-minded and spoke harshly to you brothers before. Please forgive me."

He did have prejudices against Zhu Changyang in the past, but after witnessing twice how Zhu Changyang could easily create the effects of magical instruments with ordinary objects, his cognitive barriers had been completely broken down.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Changyang quickly clasped his fists in return. "When there is communication, there will be collisions. When there are collisions, there will be progress. This is a very normal thing."

Hai Qingshan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Can you tell me why this gunpowder becomes like a lightning fire bead when it is put into a pressure cooker?"

Several students present had attended Zhu Changyang’s physics class in the cafeteria that day. Someone immediately figured out the key and raised his hand to answer: “I understand, it’s pressure!”

"That's right." Zhu Changyang nodded, "It's the effect of pressure."

The others nodded, looking clear: "Just now, you guys blocked the exhaust hole, so the gas in the pot couldn't be exhausted, so it created a huge pressure."

Hai Qingshan:

Wait, why are his classmates answering? Are they secretly taking extra classes without his knowledge

He pursed his lips and pulled the classmate next to him, "Tell me later what the brothers have told you, I want to learn it too!"

Jie Li was very proud to see that the pressure cooker he made was not only successful, but also had such a great power. After thinking for a while, he approached Zhu Changyang and said, "Master, should we sell the pressure cooker? I got the main business in the nearby Mortal Realm two days ago, and I can consign it there."

Zhu Changyang: “…”

Jie Li is studying hard every day, so how can he still have time to do business

The people in this world of cultivation are full of energy.

.

The monthly exam was over, but the Ji Jin Sect did not resume classes, and the atmosphere in the sect became visibly tenser.

Just as Zhu Changyang was wondering, someone came to tell him the reason.

"Brothers, I finally know why we haven't seen Sect Master Sikou recently." Nan Rongbo said.

Zhu Changyang: "Why?"

Nan Rongbo sighed and said, "It is said that Fairy Xia Jue's time is coming to an end. Sect Leader Sikou has been trying to help her keep alive these days."

"Ah?" Zhu Changyang was startled, "It's actually like this."

Fairy Xia Jue is Si Kou Luo's master, and the grandmother of all the young disciples of the Ji Jin Sect. She was active five hundred years ago, and is of the same generation as Kunlun's Gu Peng Zhenren.

Back then, Xia Jue was very famous and had reached the Mahayana realm. The two golden leaves on the Copper Bone Golden Leaf Tree were grown when she refined the magic weapon. Later, she took over the position of the leader of the Ji Jin Sect.

It was not until more than a hundred years ago, after accepting Si Kou Luo as his apprentice, that Xia Jue began to gradually retreat behind the scenes.

Afterwards, Si Kou Luo became famous, refined a Jade Spy that changed the way the cultivation world communicated, and took over the position of the sect leader. Xia Jue officially retired and never set foot in the cultivation world again.

A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Nowadays, the name of Fairy Xia Jue is rarely mentioned in the outside world. Zhu Changyang only knew about Xia Jue because he had just learned about the history of Ji Jin Sect.

At that time, there were rumors in the outside world that Xia Jue abdicated and went into seclusion to practice because he sensed that a thunder tribulation was approaching and that he was about to ascend to heaven.

Now it seems that Xia Jue has not been able to break through the last level.

"Fairy Xia Jue started to show the five signs of decay at the beginning of the year, and it was Sect Master Sikou who held her back with his own cultivation. But human mortality is not something we can change," Nan Rongbo sighed.

Throughout the ages, death has always been an indelible fear rooted in the hearts of human beings. Monks have been busy all their lives, seeking nothing more than immortality. For example, Huan Ruochan of Yaoyin Pavilion betrayed his sect and took a risk in order to postpone his death.

However, even if you live for hundreds or thousands of years, if you cannot ascend to heaven, you will eventually die.

Zhu Changyang was also deeply moved and a little surprised, so he asked, "How did you know this?"

They had been in the Jijin Sect for several days, but they had never heard anyone mention this matter, which showed that the sect was very secretive about it. The Jijin Sect was so wary of Nan Rongbo that it was impossible for them to tell him on their own initiative.

"Because Fairy Xia Jue has reached the end of her strength, and Sect Master Sikou is unable to save her, he asked the major alchemy sects for medicine two days ago, so the news spread." Nan Rongbo said with a worried look on his face, "Why is Sect Master Sikou doing this? Even if he can delay the fairy's progress for another year or two, it will be in vain after all."

Zhu Changyang was also a little confused when he heard this. Just as Nan Rongbo said, the five signs of decay of heaven and earth are irreversible. Xia Jue has lived for thousands of years. It is actually meaningless to delay it for another year or two, unless Si Kou Luo wants to do something.

Jun Shu had been lazily lying on the table and listening. Hearing this, he suddenly spoke up: "Maybe she has some unfulfilled wishes."

Zhu Changyang turned his head to look, and saw Jun Shu sitting up a little straighter, holding his chin with one hand, and continued calmly, "Even if you live for thousands of years, you can't die bravely if your wish is not fulfilled."

Zhu Changyang couldn't help but be stunned. Did he hear it right? Jun Shu could actually say such profound words

Is Jun Shu secretly worried about something behind his back

Just as he was wondering, someone came in from outside. It was Qi Tongchen, whom he hadn't seen for many days. He said, "You are all here. That's great."

"Brother Qi." Zhu Changyang quickly stood up to greet him, asked him to sit down, and asked, "But what's the matter?"

"It's nothing important." Qi Tongchen said, "I just came to say goodbye to you all."

"Ah?" Zhu Changyang was stunned and almost didn't react. This is the territory of the Jijin Sect, right? How could the host say goodbye to the guest

Seeing his confused face, Qi Tongchen explained, "Don't misunderstand, brothers. I and several junior brothers and sisters are going out for a while. The classes in the sect will be suspended for a while, so I came to tell you."

After a pause, he continued, "I have been busy lately. I am afraid I will not be able to greet you well after I leave. I hope you can forgive me."

"No, we are the ones who disturbed you." Zhu Changyang waved his hands quickly.

Nan Rongbo couldn't help but speak: "Master Sikou is troubled by the matter of Fairy Xia Jue, why are you still going out at this time?"

"No." Nan Rongbo unfolded his folding fan and waved it lightly, deliberately angering him. "If you continue like this, I will go back and ask my mother to withdraw from the Hehuan Palace and join the Jijin Sect. After I join, I will have to live in the room next to yours."

Qi Tongchen was shocked: "Can you just join the Jijin Sect if you want to?"

Nan Rong said calmly, "I can ask my mother to lobby the Sikou Sect Master. The Sikou Sect Master can't be so heartless."

Qi Tongchen: Choking.jpg

Don't say it, Hehuan Palace can really do such a thing. When Qi Tongchen thought that Nan Rongbo might live next door to him, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Zhu Changyang was speechless after hearing this. Hehuan Palace had never lost when it came to talking, and Qi Tongchen was also really weak. This was really frightening.

Seeing that the situation was about to become tense, he quickly changed the subject, "Brother Nanrong was just joking, Brother Qi, don't worry about it. I wonder how long you will be gone this time?"

Qi Tongchen quickly slid down the steps and said, "It's not decided yet."

Originally this was a private matter of the Ji Jin Sect, but now that it has spread to the outside world and even Nan Rongbo knows about it, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Qi Tongchen thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, we are going out this time just to fulfill the unfulfilled wish of our ancestor grandmother."

Jun Shu really got it right. Zhu Changyang blinked: "What do you mean?"

Qi Tongchen said: "The reason why the Grandmother abdicated and went into seclusion was actually to refine a magical instrument..."

It is said that Xia Jue has been pursuing the goal of refining the most advanced magical weapon throughout her life. After she reached the Mahayana realm, she had an astonishing idea.

After years of thinking and research, she finally designed a prototype of a magic weapon, but it was extremely difficult to refine, and the materials required were extremely tricky. Xia Jue tried countless times over hundreds of years, but always failed.

More than a hundred years ago, Xia Jue felt that his cultivation had reached its limit, and it was difficult to make any further breakthroughs before the deadline. He was unwilling to spend any more energy on worldly affairs, so he passed the throne to Si Kou Luo, retired and devoted all his energy to refining that magic weapon.

However, a hundred years have passed, the deadline has come, and Xia Jue still cannot complete that last step.

Zhu Changyang was horrified when he heard this. Fairy Xia Jue had the cultivation level of a Mahayana, and her understanding of refining equipment was the best in the world. What kind of magical instrument could even she not be able to refine

So he asked the doubts in his heart.

"It's not that the Grandmother's cultivation is insufficient, or her thinking is wrong." Qi Tongchen explained, "but that she is missing the most critical material. That material is extremely special. The Grandmother searched through ancient books and finally found relevant clues."

It is said that before Xia Jue went into seclusion, he had personally searched along the clues no less than a thousand times, but he was never able to find the key material, so he had no choice but to give up.

During this hundred years, Xia Jue tried to use other materials as substitutes, but after trying countless materials, he failed.

Zhu Changyang asked curiously, "What material is so hard to find?"

Qi Tongchen looked solemn and said, "It is the scales of the giant octopus."

Nan Rongbo exclaimed, "Didn't the abalone become extinct a long time ago?"

The Aoyu is an ancient beast, said to be so huge that it could hold up the sky and the earth. When it turned over, the earth would tremble and cause an earthquake. But this beast disappeared thousands of years ago.

"Yes, the Aoyu has died out." Qi Tongchen said, "But the Aoyu's scales are very hard and can last for thousands of years without decaying. Grandmother Ancestor found out from ancient books that the sea where the Aoyu lived was the Yuse Sea, so maybe we can find the scales left by the Aoyu in the Yuse Sea."

After hearing this, Zhu Changyang and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In the vast ocean, it is so difficult to find a piece of scale armor left by a strange beast ten thousand years ago. No wonder even Xia Jue himself couldn't find it after hundreds of years of searching.

In fact, in the hundred years since Xia Jue's retreat, Si Kou Luo would send his disciples to the Yu Se Sea every year. Ostensibly for training and collecting materials, but in fact some people, such as Qi Tongchen, had been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the giant octopus scales, but they had never found anything.

Now that Xia Jue’s time is up, that magic weapon will become the regret of her life.

Si Kou Luo thought about it again and again, and decided to let his disciples go to Yu Se Sea again. That's why he asked Dan Zong for medicine, spent his cultivation to pass the Qi, and delayed Xia Jue for a while.

Zhu Changyang suddenly realized: "So your trip is to Yuse Sea to look for the scales of the giant auratus."

"That's right." Qi Tongchen sighed, "This trip has no time limit, maybe we have to wait until the Grandmaster..."

He didn't finish, but it was clear to everyone else.

Xia Jue's time is running out, and the possibility of finding the Aoyu scales in such a short time is very small. Si Kou Luo's move is just his last resort. Perhaps when they return, Xia Jue will die.

Zhu Changyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Qi, I would like to go with you. Is that convenient?"

Qi Tongchen was stunned: "You want to go together?"

Zhu Changyang nodded: "I heard that there are a lot of materials in the Yuse Sea area, I also want to go and see it."

This is just one of the reasons. After all, I have received a lot of care from the Ji Jin Sect these days. Under the current circumstances, it is understandable that I can do something for them.

Of course the most important thing is that Qi Tongchen and the others are not here, and they have not attended classes, so he has no live broadcast material left in Ji Jin Sect.

It’s better to follow and unlock new maps.

Qi Tongchen knew that he had good intentions and was very grateful. He smiled and said, "Of course, Yuse Sea is not my faction's territory. If you want to go, you can go. You don't need my consent."

Jun glanced at him suddenly and said, "It's not just Zhu Changyang, there's also me."

Zhu Changyang: “…”

Before I knew it, Jun Ge had become a fully automatic follower.

The author has something to say:

I’m too lazy to come up with a name, so I’ll just reuse Yu Sehai’s name. The last time I used it was in “After Graduation, I Became the Dragon King”.

Xiao Chen: Take my punch!
