Chapter 380: Chapter 223: Xuanhua Joins, Hundred Immortals Visit_3 Inside the jade tube lie the principles of various experimental equipment and the thought process behind their design. “Lady, what do you think?” “I can roughly understand it, but I don’t quite grasp why...” Lady Xuanhua said, “we need these things.” It was evident that she was truly puzzled. After all, most of the experimental instruments or ideas described were intended for observation, measurement, and experimentation. They were completely different from the traditional approach to magic artifacts in the Xuanwei Realm. The magical treasures of the Xuanwei Realm are mostly used for combat; of course, there are those adept at observation, but they almost never stray beyond the category of aiding in battle—similar to a telescope. However, the ideas for magic artifacts that Zheng Fa presented have nothing to do with fighting, yet they maximize the capacity for observation and measurement. Lady Xuanhua’s confusion lay right here. “Lady...” Zheng Fa pondered and then said to Lady Xuanhua, “Observation, conjecture, verification. That is the original intent of the Immortal Law in our Jiushan Realm.” “...” Lady Xuanhua looked somewhat bewildered; after all, she was new here. Seeing her puzzled, Zheng Fa changed his explanation: “Lady is a master of artifact refining, so may I ask...” “What are spiritual materials made of?” “Why must magical treasures be refined from spiritual materials?” “What is the difference between a Spiritual Treasure and a magical treasure?” “And what makes a Lifebound Magical Treasure different from a regular magical treasure?” Lady Xuanhua stared blankly at Zheng Fa, her expression almost breaking down— Isn’t it, if I knew this, would I be here? Should I be called Immortal Venerable Xuanhua instead? “This, this is what I use to explore these questions...” Zheng Fa pointed to the jade tube in her hand and smiled. Lady Xuanhua’s expression changed slightly, as if she began to understand: “Observation...” Zheng Fa smiled and nodded. Lady Xuanhua fell silent; she seemed to want to believe, yet also seemed reluctant. Seeing her not speaking, Zheng Fa took out another jade tube. “Also, inside here are some more of my ideas... for your reference, Lady.” “Ideas?” Lady Xuanhua was momentarily stunned, realizing that when speaking of this, Zheng Fa wasn’t as concerned, implying that the contents of the jade tube were not so crucial. Yet when she took the tube and looked inside, her heart shook profoundly, finding that these things were much more intuitive than all the experimental instruments in the previous jade tube! “A train for mortals and low-ranking disciples?” “A city that never sleeps?” “Tools to examine the disciples’ health?” “...” Lady Xuanhua read through them, whispering softer and softer by the end. “This is...” “These are some of my wild thoughts,” Zheng Fa said with a smile, “just for the lady to see. If they prove feasible in the future, let’s give them a try.” With shielding runes, not just experimental instruments, but many modern innovations, Zheng Fa also wanted to construct them in the Jiushan Realm—like installing street lamps in Half Mountain City or a magnetic levitation train for commoners of the Jiushan Realm to ride. Certainly, some things were not suitable for the Jiushan Realm—the shielding runes had limited scope and effects, required spiritual power, and were not without cost, hence the restrictions. Therefore, Zheng Fa said these were his flights of fancy. Lady Xuanhua nodded slowly as Zheng Fa spoke. “Lady, I’ve always believed... the meaning of refining artifacts should not lie in killing, but in making life better for people.” “...” Lady Xuanhua fell silent for a long while, then nodded lightly. ... Because these items were top-secret, even the jade tubes could not be taken outside the laboratory. Lady Xuanhua read and reread those few jade tubes in the laboratory for a good half month until her head was spinning before returning to her courtyard. In the courtyard, Xiao Yuying was awaiting her. “How is it?” Seeing her clutching her head, looking like she was about to explode, Xiao Yuying curiously asked. “Exhausting! I’ve never been so exhausted in my life!” Implementing those concepts in the jade tubes using Thunder Skill and artifact refining was not a simple matter. Especially since the only one proficient in the Jiushan Sect’s artifact refining was Lady Xuanhua... naturally, the capable were burdened with more work. “Then what?” “I didn’t realize Zheng Fa had so many ingenious ideas.” “Hmm?” Xiao Yuying raised an eyebrow, not understanding the meaning. “I should have made up my mind earlier!” Lady Xuanhua suddenly laughed, “...let me tell you about that Zheng Fa...” She seemed about to say something, then covered her mouth with her hand. She smiled sheepishly. Xiao Yuying rolled her eyes. Only to hear Lady Xuanhua sigh and say, “If I had known earlier, why agonize over it! Wouldn’t it have been better to have joined the Jiushan Sect long ago?” “...” Xiao Yuying stood up. “Let me tell you, I finally understand what it means to give before you take... this time, it was worth it!” “Ah, you’re leaving?” Xiao Yuying had a stern face, not wanting to answer her. “It’s just like your usual tone when you speak.” Xiao Yuying widened her eyes, pointing at herself. Lady Xuanhua gently nodded. ... “Your pained expression, doesn’t it lack a bit of the demeanor suited for Divinity Transformation? Don’t you understand the concept of ‘to obtain, one must first give’?” In the sky, dozens of flying ships were heading towards the Jiushan Sect. On the central warship, Cheng Kong reprimanded Tongming Master while holding a pot of spirit bamboo: “Whatever the Jiushan Sect wants, just give it to them!” “In the future, if the Jiushan Sect re-joins the Hundred Immortals Alliance, wouldn’t it be just moving things from the left hand to the right? Why be so petty?” Tongming Master struggled to respond. Yet he couldn’t help but mutter inside—moving from one hand to the other? The Hundred Immortals Alliance is about to fall into their hands! “I know you’re not convinced...” Cheng Kong glanced at him again and snorted, “With Zheng Fa’s talent, will he regard the Hundred Immortals Alliance seriously in the future?” “...” Tongming Master’s eyes widened slowly. “When this matter is concluded, I’ll take him back to the Supreme Dao. With the profound background of the Supreme Dao, would he care about a mere Hundred Immortals Alliance? Isn’t the Hundred Immortals Alliance ultimately your domain as well? It’s just a title, nothing more!” Tongming Master nodded repeatedly, then curiously asked, looking at the spirit bamboo in Cheng Kong’s hand, “Venerable, what is this spirit bamboo that you value so highly?” Cheng Kong thought for a moment, then spoke, “There’s no harm in telling you. This spirit bamboo is called Qingjing Bamboo, and it is a secret treasure of our Supreme Dao... particularly effective against the Great Freedom Demon Sect.” Tongming Master was taken aback, anxiously saying, “What if something is wrong with this spirit bamboo?” “Then forget about the Hundred Immortals Alliance, think about how to save your own life.” “...” Tongming Master looked at the spirit bamboo, finding the yellow mottling on its leaves growing more and more glaring...
