Therefore, people who are truly capable and have opportunities will usually choose to create new formulas based on their own circumstances.
However, such people are extremely rare. They can only enjoy such treatment if they are appreciated by important figures in the sect before they have established their foundation, or if there are experts in this field among their acquaintances.
What Jin Yao and Hong Yi are doing now is actually the latter, which is to formulate a new foundation-building blueprint based on Jin Yao's current actual situation.
Jin Yao told Hong Yi which ingredients of the medicinal materials she needed, and then Hong Yi quickly analyzed and gave a method of processing. Finally, the two of them summarized, and after a while, a foundation-building formation that contained more than thirty kinds of medicinal materials was successfully drawn and perfected.
After hearing Jiang Lu's explanation, Scythe and the performer suddenly understood.
"I see. No wonder the same medicinal material is processed differently in different corners. Is it because the required medicinal properties and the adjacent materials are different..." The sickle had a higher level of comprehension and suddenly he felt enlightened.
The performers' understanding is not so good; not only is it poor, but their quality is also low.
When he thought about how Jin Yao had just asked them to watch and learn carefully, and only demonstrated once, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Is this me learning from Jimao?"
"This is a career that many people are willing to devote their entire lives to. Just learn it, haha." Jiang Lu didn't feel any pain in his waist while sitting and talking.
"It feels like..." Scythe asked tentatively, "You seem to understand a lot."
"I don't really understand it either." Jiang Lu shrugged. "I just understand the principle better. As for how to operate it specifically, I really don't know anything about it."
"What you said makes so much sense, it really doesn't make sense, does it?" Sickle expressed doubt.
But Jiang Lu disagreed: "This is the limitation of your thinking. You have to think with the leadership mindset. Although the leader knows what the subordinates are doing, does it mean that he must also be able to do it himself? If you can't do it yourself, can't you just find someone who can do it to work for you? All we want is results, understand?"
"It seems... that's the truth."
Sickle seemed to understand, but when he looked at Jin Yao and Hong Yi who were working in full swing, he felt that the mysterious and complicated work they were doing... suddenly didn't seem so grand.
At this time, they had completely completed the arrangement of the magic circle. Although Scythe and the performers could not understand the mystery, just looking at the dense runes and dozens of neatly arranged materials made them feel dazzled and full of admiration.
But Jin Yao and Hong Yi were not at peace either.
The magic circle they just developed together is absolutely unprecedented and will never be surpassed.
If the formula of this magic circle were to be spread out, it would definitely be comparable to the mass-energy equation, and would inevitably lead to a bloody storm. I wonder how many geniuses with good compatibility might be able to soar to the sky with the help of this magic circle, and their attainment of immortality would be just around the corner.
"As long as you succeed, it will be the foundation of the immortal path, and the best one at that!" Hong Yi asserted.
Although Hong Yi personally participated in the research and development of this magic array, and she also established the foundation of the immortal way back then, it is no exaggeration to say that if it was not incompatible with her own nature, she would even want to abandon her own cultivation and establish a new foundation.
This is not surprising. Her foundation-building formation was just set up for her by her master, and her master himself was just a human immortal, a middle-level immortal, and had not specialized in this field. At best, he was a parent with a college degree who was thinking about how to fill in his application form after his children had just finished the college entrance examination. With limited abilities, he was naturally not as good as Hong Yi and Jin Yao who later conducted in-depth research.
When Jin Yao heard Hong Yi's heartfelt sigh, she took a deep breath with some excitement: "I won't fail."
"I also hope that you won't waste all my efforts." Hong Yi responded.
But these words were not simply tit-for-tat. If she didn't want to perform well in front of Jiang Lu, why would she be so serious and use all her life's knowledge?
"Do you understand?" Jin Yao suddenly asked.
The sickle and the performer thought about Jiang Lu's explanation and felt that it was a bit too pretentious to say that they understood it, so they could only shake their heads honestly: "No."
Jin Yao couldn't help but show disdain: "Mediocrity."
The two wanted to retort that this was not something a novice could understand, but they felt it was unnecessary and could only smile bitterly.
"Okay, now I have to practice the mental method to build my foundation. You can't be distracted. You can leave now."
After giving them failing grades, the strict instructor Jin Yao began to drive them away:
"If everything goes well, it will probably take two hours."
Before anyone else could express their opinion, Jiang Lu couldn't wait to say, "Okay, someone help me untie them."
"Wait a moment." Jin Yao turned around, looked at the anxious Jiang Lu, and then looked at Hong Yi beside her: "Either you stay here together to watch me build my foundation, or one of you stay. Anyway, you can't go out together."
Scythe and the performer looked at each other, somewhat speechless.
Oh, you’re not afraid of being distracted now, right?
When Hong Yi heard this, he seemed to have just realized: "So there is still such an opportunity?"
She looked at Jin Yao and said seriously, "You can't be distracted while building your foundation. Let's all go out."
"No!" Jin Yao refused directly without any room for negotiation.
Jiang Lu said helplessly, "But I really have to go out. The director and I have an appointment to go to the Law Enforcement Bureau to get a pass to Kunlun Mountain. Now it's almost time."
"Then Hong Yi will stay."
Hong Yi thought for a moment and said, "When you are building your foundation, I might be unable to resist plotting against you."
"I'm not afraid!" Jin Yao refused again, then sneered: "If this can make him see what kind of person you are, then I will accept it. I believe he will stay away from you and take care of me for the rest of my life. By then, you will be the one who suffers the most, right?"
Hong Yi could only sigh: "Damn... this doesn't scare you..."
Chapter 315: Gunshots from the Law Enforcement Bureau
Finally, the few people decided to act in three groups.
Jin Yao built her foundation, Hong Yi guarded her, then Jiang Lu went to the Law Enforcement Bureau to get a pass, and the sickle and the performer returned to their rooms to wait.
As the door closed, Jiang Lu rushed to the Law Enforcement Bureau without stopping.
Of course, this time he did not forget to seal his mouth which could get out of control at any time.
Considering that it would look a bit strange with something stuffed in his mouth, he wore another mask on the outside.
When he arrived at the Law Enforcement Bureau, Director Ye was handling matters in his office.
After being informed by the assistant, Jiang Lu was led in without even waiting for a second.
Director Ye was in high spirits at this moment, and he looked much younger than he did last night. It was easy to imagine how much benefit he had gained from catching the mastermind behind the casino.
As soon as he saw Jiang Lu, he stood up from the sofa, waved at Jiang Lu as if he was greeting his own son, and said with a smile: "Come and sit down."
This intimate attitude made several leaders who had met him yesterday and happened to be discussing business in his office feel envious.
All they could usually see was Director Ye’s expression. They had never seen such a scene.
Jiang Lu did not refuse, but when he looked around, he saw that all the seats were occupied, except for the boss chair behind the desk, which was empty. Without thinking much, he sat down.
It didn't matter that he sat like this, but the leaders who were discussing matters on the reception sofa had strange looks on their faces, and even Director Ye was stunned for a moment.
"Hurry up!" Seeing this, the assistant hurriedly reminded: "That's the director's seat."
But what no one expected was that before Jiang Lu could even react, Director Ye actually started to reprimand his assistant: "You are wrong. I have always said that our Law Enforcement Bureau is a large public-owned collective. Everyone is gathered here with the ambition of benefiting the Three Pure Lands.
So here there is no distinction between you and me, nothing belongs to anyone. This is just a chair, not a symbol of power. What we have is just the responsibility that we must not forget no matter where we are.
Even if we take a step back, if I don't sit there, does that mean I'm not the director and I can't work for the welfare of the Three Pure Ones?
So, the chair itself doesn’t mean anything, anyone can sit on it, don’t make a fuss about it.
Do you think so? "
The leaders who were asked nodded in agreement.
"The chief is right."
"This is like a revelation, like hearing heavenly music that suddenly enlightens my ears."
If the assistant had been more sensible, he would have found a chair and quoted something like "Without rules, there will be no order", and then Director Ye would have gone along with it.
But he wasn't very smart.
"After listening to your words, Director, I realized how superficial I really am."
The assistant criticized himself shamefully:
"I have deeply understood that I still have a lot to learn and need to grow more to be worthy of your earnest teachings, so Director, I will reflect on myself first."
After saying that, he left the office and closed the door.
"Eh..." Director Ye raised his hand slightly, hesitated to speak, and then put it down reluctantly.
Looking at his subordinates' respectful eyes, which he was not sure whether they were from the heart, he had to force a smile and sat back on the sofa where he had just sat with a few people in order to show his friendliness.
Turning his head to look at Jiang Lu, Director Ye had an illusion that the other party was the director and he was the one reporting to the work.
You tactless guy, you'd better not let me catch you doing something wrong at work, otherwise you won't have to do this job anymore... He silently complained about the unruly assistant in his heart.
Jiang Lu looked at Director Ye's embarrassment with a smile.
If he could speak now, I would definitely add fuel to the fire and ask: Why are you pretending to be so arrogant?
At this time, Director Ye also noticed the mask Jiang Lu was wearing. Perhaps he really valued and cared about him, or perhaps he just wanted to change the subject to ease the embarrassment. He immediately asked, "What's wrong? You haven't spoken for so long. Are you sick?"
Jiang Lu picked up the paper and pen he carried with him and wrote: [I am sick and my voice is hoarse, it’s not a big deal. ]
"Have you seen the doctor?"
[I've seen the doctor, who said I'll be fine after two days of rest.]
"That's good." Director Ye let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time encouraged him, "You should pay more attention to your health in the future. Otherwise, if you get seriously ill, it will not only be a loss to Nanjiang City, but it may even be a loss to the entire Sanqing Realm."
An ordinary person might be moved, but when Jiang Lu heard it, he thought, isn’t this just empty talk in disguise?
You act as if you are highly valued and have a promising future, but in reality, aren't you just deceiving yourself to work harder?
[Thank you for your concern, Director. I will remember it.]
Then, Jiang Lu asked directly:
[So, Chief, when can I get my pass? ]
"Oh, speaking of that."
Director Ye smiled and said:
"Don't worry, your pass has been issued. It was unanimously approved by the bureau at a meeting.
If you think about it carefully, this seems to be the fastest time. The candidates in previous years had to be discussed repeatedly, so this can be considered a record.
We were just discussing how to get you to Kunlun Mountain in style."
Jiang Lu blinked in confusion.
Director Ye continued, "Of course, you are the representative of Nanjiang City, and your achievements are incomparable to those of the past. To put it in a broader sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a hero of the entire Sanqing world.
Then in order to show your achievements and for the sake of Nanjiang City's reputation, there must be some sense of ceremony, right?"
[Then how can I get there? They won't send a guard of honor to take me there, will they?]
"That... I have considered it." Director Ye laughed, "But everyone in the bureau is not idle, there are still many government affairs to deal with, we can't lose sight of the main thing and not do the right thing for the sake of face, right?"
