119. Chapter 119 Is This Trying To Make An Example To Others?
Chapter 119: Is this a case of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?
A hidden world in a pot.
After receiving the bronze pill furnace as a gift from Su Ping, Xiao Daochang's efficiency and success rate in pill refining have greatly improved.
Su Ping returned to the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion and began to inventory his gains.
There weren't many good items in terms of military supplies, not even as good as what the named disciples had bought through various channels.
Fortunately, there were a sufficient quantity of heavy weapons that the named disciples couldn't get their hands on.
Su Ping was very interested in those anti-aircraft machine guns. He felt that if he used his Law Projection Ability to wield them against people, the effect would definitely be better than using them against planes!
In addition, there were a large number of Hummers, Jeeps, and old tank parts.
Su Ping tried to see if he could put them back together and then strengthen them through the method of refining.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of extremely pure spiritual energy fluctuation in the backyard.
Using his divine sense to investigate, he discovered that it was the eleventh batch of Lingxin Pills that Xiao Daochang had been trying to refine recently, and he had finally succeeded this time.
And he even produced a high-grade pill!
The spiritual energy fluctuation was caused by the high-grade pill.
Lingxin Pill is one of the most difficult pills to refine among the first-grade high-grade pills.
It possesses the ability to temporarily enhance comprehension, allowing cultivators to improve their learning and understanding of new knowledge.
This kind of pill is highly sought after by elite disciples in major immortal sects.
The price of a high-grade Lingxin Pill is more than ten times that of a high-grade Peiyuan Pill or Qixue Pill!
Su Ping planned to sell the high-grade pill, while using the medium-grade and low-grade pills for his own consumption to accelerate his comprehension of various cultivation techniques.
After reaching the Foundation Building stage, Su Ping began to try practicing the Foundation Building section of the Water Moon Invisible Technique.
The outer disciples all practiced ordinary, attribute-less, and non-specialized cultivation techniques.
It went relatively smoothly for Su Ping to switch to practicing the Water Moon Invisible Technique, which also had no special requirements.
However, after entering the introductory stage, the progress slowed down, which made Su Ping realize once again that his talent was not exceptional, both in terms of spiritual roots and comprehension.
He was not the kind of genius who could understand the meaning of a book just by reading it a few times.
Although he was a little unwilling, Su Ping quickly accepted reality and sought a solution.
Then he discovered the Lingxin Pill, an auxiliary pill, from ancient books.
With the Nine Leaf Mountain Market and his identity as a Foundation Building cultivator, it was easy for him to obtain the pill recipe and materials for this Qi Refining stage pill.
Just by releasing some news, there would naturally be cultivating families who wanted to please him.
Although the difficulty was high and the success rate was low, it didn't matter that there were more failed pills with the purification elixir in hand. The key was to be able to successfully refine them!
Xiao Daochang's success this time made Su Ping extremely satisfied.
Therefore, Su Ping, who had restored his identity as the Cloud Coming Sword Immortal, once again arrived in the backyard.
"Daochang!"
Xiao Daochang was delighted that he had successfully refined the pill recipe brought by Baihe Tongzi.
Feeling the disturbance, he quickly turned around and saw Su Ping descending from the sky, rushing to greet him and pay his respects.
Due to the Qi Refining entering his body, Xiao Daochang could feel that the current Daochang had a much more refined and mysterious temperament than before.
He didn't think that the Daochang had only recently become stronger.
Instead, he felt that he himself had been useless before and not qualified enough, so the Daochang chose to suppress his own aura.
And now, the Daochang revealed more of his temperament. This... does it mean that he has passed the test?
"To be able to refine the Lingxin Pill, it shows that you are indeed good at pill refining!"
"But your strength still needs to be improved... Come, follow me onto the Immortal Ship!"
Su Ping nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Soldier No.1 flew over and appeared on Su Ping's right side.
Immediately, a pair of large hands appeared under the feet of Xiao Daochang, lifting him up and flying him to the deck of the immortal boat.
Then, accompanied by a sharp whistle.
The immortal boat flew into the sky.
This made Xiao Daochang unable to help but exclaim in surprise, and once again showed an excited expression, covering his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound and embarrassing himself.
But he once again saw the panoramic view of the fairyland, seeing the floating mountain peaks, the golden sea of clouds, and the magnificent scenery of the dragon and phoenix.
"Ah!"
In the sea of clouds, even a black dragon fish, one size larger than a tiger shark, seemed to have horns on its head and black scales.
This black dragon fish approached the immortal boat, circled a few times, and then swayed as it flew over and left.
The fishy smell made Xiao Daochang's whole body goosebumps.
Fortunately, with a wave of the Daoist's hand, a refreshing breeze came, and the uncomfortable feeling was swept away.
After flying for a while, the immortal boat suddenly began to slow down and descend.
Before long, Xiao Daochang widened his eyes and saw the immortal boat directly landing in front of a temple full of ancient and sacred charm.
Looking at the vividly carved six-tusked elephants on both sides of the temple.
Xiao Daochang carefully descended and turned to look at Su Ping.
"Go in and accept the test of the Dao Heart."
"For the next few days, I will have Baihe Tongzi watch over you here. After the test, you will come back to the immortal boat to take medicine and cultivate, and then continue like this."
Su Ping's mouth twitched as he whispered the tricks and insights before the third level of Qi Refining to Xiao Daochang.
After leaving a related jade slip, he finally left the Dreamlike Temple.
It seems that as long as the Dao Heart is well trained, at least during the Qi Refining period, there is no need to worry about hindering the path of cultivation.
And when Xiao Daochang reaches the third level of Qi Refining.
With the environment of the Pot in the Heavenly Cave, he can even set up an array in the backyard to assist in alchemy.
Even troublesome pill formulas like the Lingxin Pill, Xiao Daochang should be able to refine them several times a day, right?
After settling Xiao Daochang.
Su Ping came to the giant face tree and saw Shanawati, who was only one step away from the first level of Qi Refining and could continue to break through.
The art of talismans itself has the function of consolidating the foundation.
With the assistance of the blood talisman spirit body, even the most difficult talismans can be successful within three attempts and proficient within five attempts during the Qi Refining period.
And each success allows her to gain a deeper understanding of cultivation.
Making her cultivation speed astonishing, Su Ping couldn't help but marvel. She was truly a natural seed for cultivation, blessed with a complete version of the spirit body.
And this blood talisman spirit body is inclined towards the art of talismans!
Those spirit bodies that are purely inclined towards cultivation and combat... are probably even more amazing and impressive, right?
"Shanawati!"
Su Ping transformed into the Rat Daoist and came to Shanawati's door.
After opening his mouth slowly, Shanawati stopped drawing talismans and came out to greet him respectfully.
The Rat Daoist walked in, asked a few questions casually, and then didn't continue.
Mainly because Su Ping found that Shanawati's understanding of the art of talismans was faintly superior to his own, so it would be better not to make mistakes.
So after pretending to make a profound comment, he asked Shanawati if she wanted to go back home.
Shanawati was naturally extremely willing to do so.
After all, she was just a little girl who had left home not long ago.
She was still not used to not seeing her family for a long time.
On one hand, Su Ping was fulfilling his initial promise and increasing Shanawati's loyalty.
On the other hand, it was also because he had just resolved a major matter.
At this moment, releasing Shana Wate is like adding fuel to the fire.
Through Shana Wate's experience, it can make those who are interested in the mysterious circle believe even more in the reality of ghosts and the unfathomable abilities.
This is also Su Ping's Foundation Building. In addition to easily solving the general's stronghold before, it gave Su Ping a certain level of confidence, allowing him to gradually reveal some mysterious tentacles to this technological world.
And so.
The Tapu mages, who were working hard for the exorcism cause, thought that the recent news was already exciting and sensational enough. It was enough for them to serve the gods with utmost devotion.
But they didn't expect that, as night fell, the Tapu mages who had sent off the last group of believers were planning to go to the back hall to pray and then go back to meditate and sleep.
In the back hall, Shana Wate, dressed in a fine gauze dress, appeared there, showing a faint smile to these elderly mage men.
Whoosh!
The mages immediately knelt down for the most part.
Finally, even the Tapu mages resolutely knelt down to greet Shana Wate, the holy woman favored by the gods.
Afterwards, a grand welcome ceremony was held overnight.
Shana Wate, just like when she came, was respectfully escorted back to the village where her parents were with a large convoy, reuniting with her family.
As Shana Wate recounted her experiences related to cultivation like telling a story, many people learned about the magical and wonderful scenes in the realm of ghosts and gods, and couldn't help but show longing expressions.
Regardless of what Shana Wate said, that it was actually a gloomy and eerie atmosphere, in the eyes of the mages, it was a place where they could cultivate, obtain true techniques, and gain the favor of the gods. This was the most important thing!
Shana Wate's appearance in Nielbo was like a meteor falling into a shallow lake in the mountains, directly causing a huge wave and completely disrupting the entire lake surface.
There were already many people in Nielbo who believed in ghosts and gods. Otherwise, they wouldn't have cultivated so many well-off mages.
Now, they learned that this place was not just about worshiping the gods to receive their favor or avoiding their curses. It was even possible to enter a magical realm and obtain true techniques.
Regardless of whether many things inside were true or not, at least Shana Wate was an example of someone who had benefited from it!
Even the nobles in the capital couldn't help but come to pay their respects to Shana Wate, the holy woman spoken of by the mages. And in their interactions with her, they truly felt the magic from a living girl.
They were all moved and, as a result, they also supported the exorcism cause of the temple, not only opening up the passage for supplies but also providing help and support in many places.
On Huang's side, after discussing it, they decided to release a portion of the tempered tea bags to the nobles in the capital, allowing them to discover the benefits as well.
Among them were those who were unfortunate enough to have serious illnesses, but after realizing that the tempered tea bags could truly help them, they came to purchase them one after another.
And their actions triggered a chain reaction, causing more people to realize that perhaps those tea bags sent as health products were really good things?
As the news of the holy woman spread, the investigators responsible for investigating General Bahadur's incident also found more helicopter wreckage and unexpectedly discovered a memory card intact inside the driver's helmet.
This made them very excited.
With negotiations between various forces, they finally decided that each force could send a portion of their investigators as representatives to watch the contents of the memory card together.
Immediately, in a temporary large tent, the projection began.
They saw the driver's perspective, but it was in a small town at the foot of the mountain, shouting at the townspeople to transport supplies.
Then they heard the general's command and had to quickly fly the helicopter into the air, climbing higher and heading towards the rooftop of the building.
Because of the perspective, the helicopter could only see the cliffs and occasionally catch a glimpse of distant smoke.
And when the helicopter flew to the mountaintop.
The investigators widened their eyes and saw the building engulfed in thick smoke and flames!
Because of the smoke and fire, even when paused frame by frame, they could only barely see the outer city area in ruins.
At the same time, on the rooftop of the building, it seemed that there were several figures waving at the driver.
This process was very short, lasting only one or two seconds.
Then, before the driver could get closer and everyone could see more things and details.
With a loud bang!
Lightning flashed inside the helicopter, igniting multiple flammable objects and causing the helicopter to spin and start to fall.
The scene froze at that moment.
"Reverse, slow-motion, pause!"
"Hiss... was it struck by lightning?"
The investigators repeatedly watched and finally confirmed a fact.
That is... this helicopter was struck by lightning and crashed, resulting in fatalities, shortly after reaching a certain altitude.
"What kind of thing can control lightning and destroy the mountaintop?"
"With this kind of power, they could easily deal with that general's forces, right?"
"So, is the other party demonstrating in a disguised manner?"
At night, the Northern investigator finished watching the video and walked out of the tent, lost in thought against the cold wind.
A few seconds later.
He suddenly realized something and turned to look at the bustling tents and the dozens of different flags planted in the camp.
He suddenly shivered:
"Could it be that the other party is actually demonstrating against all of our forces?"
"That old general was just a chicken killed by coincidence?"
After this thought crossed the investigator's mind, he found it unbelievable for daring to make such a bold guess.
Some staff members found locals who were passing by the surrounding paths at the time.
And from their accounts, they learned that there was suddenly gunfire at General Bahadur's fortress, followed by a series of explosions.
After that, they only saw thick smoke and flames rising, and something vague seemed to appear under the dark clouds.
Shortly after, they felt a tremor, and when they looked again, they found that a part of the mountain peak had been shattered!
Then, following that, experts excavated some remains of bodyguards wearing equipment from the ruins and found evidence suggesting that they had been struck by lightning before their deaths.
Even though it was unbelievable.
The investigation teams of various major forces had to include in their reports the possibility that a mysterious force had control over lightning weapons or some mysterious ability.
The Northern investigator had a faint suspicion in his heart that as the investigation went deeper, they would discover more evidence of the other party's control over lightning power.
However... besides lightning, the fact that there were no bodies or weapons in the outer city area.
Does it mean that the other party also possesses more abilities that they are unaware of?
This feeling of being completely in the dark, not knowing anything, made this experienced investigator feel anxious and headache.
In the end, he made a decision befitting a brave man from the North.
Forget it, the most important thing now is to go back and drink two bottles of high-proof liquor and get a good night's sleep!
Ura!
