Chapter 298 Analysis of the Qiankun Bag, the Qiankun Technique in the Sleeve (Part 2)
Tiangongyuan has become independent outside the city of Tianjing and moved to Zhongshan Mountain.
The Heavenly Palace is above the Tiangong Courtyard.
Now the two are inexplicably connected, filled with a mysterious atmosphere, as if it has become a secret place for spiritual practice isolated from the world.
The pavilions in the courtyard are arranged in an orderly manner. Under the caress of the sun, they cast mottled shadows, like an ancient and mysterious painting.
Inside the pavilion, all kinds of strange instruments and precious ancient books are placed randomly, yet they seem to follow some unknown order, faintly emitting a unique light, and each ray of light seems to be telling a long-forgotten story of spiritual practice.
When Master Tianling learned about the Golden Elixir Orthodoxy here, his heart was filled with waves and his heart was moved. He had been wandering on the path of ghost immortals for a long time. Now that he heard about the Golden Elixir Orthodoxy, it was as if he had glimpsed a ray of light in the darkness. A strong desire surged in his heart - he didn't want to be a ghost immortal anymore, and he wanted to reincarnate and cultivate again to explore the more advanced path of cultivation.
As a ghost immortal who had survived a thunder tribulation, Master Tianling was well aware of his own uniqueness. Even if he had survived only one thunder tribulation, he would be able to bring his wisdom with him when he was reincarnated for the first time, unlike the reincarnation of ordinary ghost immortals, who would most likely be trapped by the mystery of the womb and fall into a state of chaos and confusion.
Of course, if the ghost fairy possesses the secret method of inheritance and is well prepared, with deep foundation and firm will, it is likely that it will be able to break through the shackles of the mystery in the womb and successfully start a new journey of cultivation.
However, the current Tianling Master is in a dilemma. He is controlled by the old emperor and his every move is restricted. He cannot reincarnate as he pleases. Even if the old emperor agrees to his reincarnation, he must first seek Xu Qing's opinion.
After all, the current Dayu Dynasty is a special situation with two saints in power. Xu Qing has great power in the court and his attitude and decision-making have a decisive influence on many important matters.
As for Prince Yu in the north who was devoting himself to the reform movement, in the eyes of Master Tianling, he was just a mere facade, like a dead bone in a tomb, and posed no threat at all.
Although he was not good at political intrigues, he could vaguely sense with the sharp intuition of a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal that Prince Yu was just a chess piece deliberately left on the chessboard by Xu Qing and the old emperor, being played around with by them and becoming an insignificant footnote in this power game.
Master Tian Ling was obsessed with the idea of reincarnation and cultivation, and he pondered over it day and night, unable to let it go. Finally, he decided to ask his nephew Gu Daoren to take him to Xu Qing to discuss the matter.
When Taoist Gu learned about this, he looked helpless. He was used to joking and teasing with Master Tianling on weekdays, but this time, Master Tianling looked so anxious that he almost knelt down in front of him, which scared him a lot.
In desperation, Taoist Gu had to bite the bullet and bring Master Tianling to find Xu Qing.
"Master is planning to reincarnate?" Xu Qing was slightly surprised when he heard this. He then used the Heavenly Demonic Technique and, with the help of the mysterious connection between him and the Dharma Protector Demon King, he understood Master Tianling's thoughts. At the same time, Master Tianling himself also explained it in detail.
Xu Qing confirmed the two and confirmed that Master Tianling had not concealed anything.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "How about this, Master, help me for another three years. After three years, I will personally go to His Majesty to plead for you. Before that, I have an extremely important matter to ask for your help."
If someone else said this, Master Tianling would think that the other party was perfunctory. But when Xu Qing said this, it was very convincing. After all, Xu Qing had a high status in the Great Yu Dynasty, and his ability and credibility were obvious to everyone.
Master Tianling originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect Xu Qing to actually agree.
In fact, Xu Qing was quite in favor of Master Tianling's reincarnation. He thought to himself that once Master Tianling reincarnated and re-cultivated, he would be able to understand Master Tianling's complete experience in cultivating the Golden Elixir Orthodoxy through his own Heavenly Demon Art, which would be of great benefit to his own Heavenly Demon Art.
On the other hand, Xu Qing had a deeper consideration in mind. Three years later, the second battle with the Black Mountain Old Demon would most likely have ended. By then, even if the corresponding demon king guardian was lost due to the reincarnation of Master Tianling, it would not matter.
Moreover, after Tian Ling Shangren reincarnates, he can also rely on his own practice method to evolve the demon king guardian again. With the first experience, the second time will be easy.
Master Tian Ling was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xu, thank you very much." Then, he asked curiously, "I wonder what the important thing that Fellow Daoist Xu mentioned is?"
Xu Qing looked solemn as he took out a document and a Qiankun capsule from his sleeve. Because he had the advantage of the inner world, and he used the Heaven-Repairing Tribulation Hand and the Heavenly Demon Art to analyze the Qiankun capsule, the magic array on it, and the special properties of the Qiankun capsule's raw material - human fairy skin, Xu Qing had figured it out.
He took it out, naturally hoping that Master Tianling could conduct in-depth research on it, find out the material to replace the human fairy skin, and make a cheaper Qiankun bag. In his opinion, since we are entering the era of cultivating immortals, the popularization of storage bags is essential.
Master Tian Ling took the information, glanced through it, and was extremely shocked. In his opinion, without the realm of the Creator, it would be almost impossible to analyze the Qiankun capsule to such a detailed level.
In fact, his guess was correct. It was only because Xu Qing relied on the unique advantages of the inner world and the help of the Heaven-Repairing Hand and the Heavenly Demon Art that he achieved this near-miraculous result.
Master Tian Ling pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I will do my best to handle this matter, but even if I find replacement materials, they will probably be very rare monsters or something like that."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "I will send different kinds of monster skins in the future, and you can try them one by one."
Master Tian Ling continued, "As for the monsters, we don't have to limit them to land. In fact, there are more types of monsters in the sea, and they are more powerful. The probability of finding a substitute is higher."
What he said was true. Even during the heyday of Fang Xian Dao, it only occupied the main seaports and offshore islands of the South Sea Islands, and it was difficult to explore the ocean in depth. There were many terrifying monsters hidden in the open sea and deep sea. The powerful ones were not inferior to ghost immortals, and some were even comparable to earth immortals and human immortals.
Even Western pirates only enter the South Seas along the coastline, and now they use India as their main supply point and as a springboard to attack the South Seas. The distant seas are unknown and terrifying areas for all countries in the world.
Xu Qing naturally agreed to Master Tianling's suggestion.
...
...
A few months passed in a flash, and in the quiet and mysterious jade chamber of Tiangong Academy, an experiment on the exploration of storage bag materials was quietly taking place.
Thirty-six shark pearl lamps are hung in a staggered manner, emitting a soft and bright light.
These lights constantly reflect and interweave on the jade wall, as if countless smart elves are dancing, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that makes people feel as if they are in a fairyland.
Master Tianling had long hair that was scattered randomly on his shoulders, like dead grass blown by the wind.
His eyes were bloodshot, like cracks in a dry riverbed, showing his exhaustion. The hem of his robe was stained with mottled demon blood and cinnabar, and the stains were like an abstract painting, silently telling the hardships and perseverance he had experienced in these days.
Every drop of demon blood and every touch of cinnabar carries the hard work he put into his exploration.
At this moment, he was standing in front of a three-meter-square cold jade chopping board. The chopping board was like a huge piece of ice, emitting a hint of coolness.
Neatly arranged on the chopping board are crescent-shaped skins of deep-sea electric rays. These remains of monsters taken from the deep sea trench are glowing with a faint blue phosphorescence under the illumination of the mermaid pearl lamp, as if they are mysterious messengers from the deep sea, containing endless mysteries.
The faint blue phosphorescence, like the mysterious stars in the deep sea, flickered with alluring light, attracting Master Tianling to continue to analyze it in depth.
"The one hundred and eighth test." Master Tianling spoke in a hoarse voice, with a hint of fatigue and determination.
He slowly made hand gestures, and the black iron carving knife in his hand was like a nimble dragon, swimming on the surface of the manta ray skin. Every time the carving knife fell, it seemed as if he was talking to the heaven and earth, trying to explore the mystery hidden deep inside.
As the blade passed, dragon blood and cinnabar slowly seeped into the manta ray's skin along the "Zhou Tian Mustard Seed Array" unique to the Qiankun Bag.
The dragon blood cinnabar, like the source of life, slowly merged into the manta ray skin with mysterious power, adding a bit of mystery to the experiment.
Suddenly, there was a crisp "swish" sound, and the edge of the ray skin curled up by itself, swallowing the bronze basalt paperweight on the desk at lightning speed.
This sudden change made Tian Ling's heart tighten suddenly, as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.
"Done?" Master Tian Ling couldn't help but mutter to himself, his fingertips trembling slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation. His eyes were fixed on the curled ray skin.
Suddenly, Master Tianling's pupils shrank, and then he hurriedly took out the magic weapon "Wanxiang Dial", and the magic weapon shone with strange light in his hand.
At the moment when the sundial pointed to the third quarter of the hour, the entire electric ray skin suddenly floated into the air, swaying gently in the air, like a leaf blown by the wind, or like it was dancing a mysterious dance.
The light from the shark bead lamp penetrates the translucent leather, reflecting the dense natural patterns on it.
These lines coincide with the orbits of the stars in the sky and are mysterious and unpredictable, as if they were a masterpiece of nature's magic, containing the mysteries of the stars in the universe.
Every line is like a mysterious passage leading to an unknown world.
"The wonder of nature is so great!" Master Tianling was amazed and couldn't help but wave his sleeves to splash out the spiritual spring that he had treasured for a long time. The spiritual spring turned into a mist in the air, like a dreamy sea of clouds.
Suddenly, a fantastic illusion of the deep sea appeared: groups of electric rays were swimming leisurely in the dark abyss, and the patterns on their backs flickered with the surge of ocean currents, just like a living Qiankun formation, full of vitality and mystery.
The illusion of the deep sea seemed like a mysterious world, showing its charm to Master Tianling.
This is the manifestation of the Tao rhyme hidden deep in the electric ray's skin.
At this moment, the secret room suddenly shook violently, and the mountains of calculation papers spontaneously ignited without wind, and raging flames rose instantly.
Green smoke rose up and slowly condensed into the words of the Taoist scriptures in the air, making a long sound, as if telling the ancient and mysterious rhyme of Taoism. Each seal character was like an ancient spell, containing endless power. Each seal character turned into a golden light and sank into the skin of the electric ray.
Master Tianling suddenly felt blessed and blew out a mouthful of his own life energy. The moment the life energy blended with the dragon blood cinnabar, the star patterns on the manta ray skin suddenly came alive, as if injected with the power of life, and began to flash a strange and brilliant light.
"Master Taoist, I have succeeded!" Master Tianling was so ecstatic that he didn't even realize that his whole body was twitching and he had fallen into an extremely crazy state.
His laughter echoed in the secret room, full of joy and madness.
“Uncle Master, Uncle Master…” Taoist Gu looked helpless, but he didn’t dare to get closer.
Looking at the crazy Master Tianling in front of him, he was full of doubts. The old Taoist priest had achieved success, so why was he still going crazy?
Because of his low level, Taoist Gu did not dare to be careless, so he went directly to find Xu Qing.
Xu Qing rushed over and looked at Master Tianling, who had a crazy look on his face and was muttering "Master, I have succeeded", and he was also speechless.
Can you go crazy while doing scientific research? He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Gu Laodao, thinking to himself, how come Gu Laodao never has this kind of situation? Is he too lazy? For a moment, Xu Qing had strong doubts about Laodao Gu's professional ethics.
However, the old Taoist priest often goes to places of entertainment, and he really doesn't look like someone who is engaged in serious scientific research.
But technology alone is not enough for research. Lao Gu still plays an indispensable role in other aspects. Without Lao Gu's leadership, many research projects at Tiangong Institute would not be carried out.
Being able to unite people to get things done is also a skill.
Xu Qing glanced at Gu Laodao and said, "Knock him out first."
"Me?" Taoist Gu was a little confused. He never expected that Xu Qing would let him take action against his uncle.
Xu Qing explained: "I can't control the severity of my attack."
Gu Laodao was still a little hesitant: "This is not a good idea." Although he said so, with Xu Qing's support, he suddenly gained some courage.
He went forward and slapped him, thinking to himself, there are not many opportunities to bully a master... to commit crimes against one's superiors, so I must cherish them. Gu Laodao slapped him and shouted, "Old beast, what have you become?"
I have to say, this slap was really exciting.
Gu Laodao only felt that he had become clear-headed, his thoughts were enlightened, and even sublimated!
There is a sign of seeing through the fog of ghosts and immortals and discovering one's true nature.
I didn't expect it to have this wonderful benefit.
Xu Qing gave Lao Gu a meaningful look, and Lao Dao Gu suddenly understood Xu Qing's intention. "This kid can even see through the bottleneck of my practice?" Lao Dao Gu was extremely surprised, but he did not dwell on it. Anyway, it seemed that nothing was strange about what happened to Xu Gongming.
Xu Qing said calmly: "I'll give you the acupuncture!"
After a series of operations, Master Tianling woke up leisurely and touched his swollen face, on which the dark blue marks of the slap were visible.
Taoist Gu stepped forward quickly and said, "Uncle Master, you just lost your temper and slapped yourself." Master Tianling said angrily, "You beast, I clearly saw that you hit me."
Gu Laodao: "..." So you are not crazy. Why do I feel more excited? Gu Laodao muttered in his heart, but his face was still very scared, and then he had an awkward smile.
Xu Qing came to the rescue and asked, "Master, are you feeling unwell right now?"
"I couldn't control my body just now, but now my spirit and energy have become one, and I'm fine." Master Tianling exhaled and said slowly.
Master Tianling then spoke of his own insights. Taoist Gu hurriedly took note of them, every word like a precious treasure, fearing that he would miss any point. Xu Qing asked questions while listening, his words were sharp and pointed to the essence, like a sharp sword, constantly digging deeper into Master Tianling's enlightenment.
Through questions and answers, Master Tianling had a clearer understanding of the production process of the storage bag.
Xu Qing vaguely comprehended an extremely powerful Taoist technique from Master Tianling's insights.
This is also a Taoist technique that Xu Qing has been focusing on practicing recently, which is to combine the North Sea and the inner world.
He named it "The World in the Sleeve". Since the Wutong Tree and the Inner World were low-end ginseng orchards, it was no problem for Xu Qing to create a World in the Sleeve.
The bronze mirror evaluated him as a demon from outside the domain. Sooner or later, Xu Qing would let everyone know that he was not a demon from outside the domain, but the ancestor of the great earth immortals who came to this world!
His demonic mind was in a tizzy for a moment, then he calmed down.
"Electric rays are found in the deep sea and are extremely difficult to catch. Next, fellow Taoist and Master Gu will need to focus on improving the mechanical instruments that can dive into the deep sea. In addition, I will also order the Taoist academy to intensify the training of soul cultivators who practice water-based Taoist magic." Xu Qing casually made a plan.
The storage bag is very useful and can be said to be a key item for exploring various secret and dangerous places in this world in the future.
In order to refine the storage capsule, it is worth spending more manpower and material resources. In Xu Qing's mind, this is not just a plan to refine a storage capsule, but also an important step for him to create an era of cultivating immortals and explore the unknown world.
In the future exploration of various secret and dangerous places in this world, storage bags will definitely play a key role.
...
...
On the other hand, storage bags, as top-level materials for cultivating immortals, also appeared at the auction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Merchant Alliance.
Duke Wei looked at his family's treasure house which was becoming increasingly dwindling, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"This Xu Gongming is determined to squeeze everyone dry, right?" Duke Wei complained crazily about Xu Qing's dishonesty.
Xu Qing relied on the Tiangong Academy's unique skills and tricks to drain everyone's wealth bit by bit.
The key is that everyone has to pay for it.
If you don't buy it, it means you can't afford it.
As a top powerful family, they certainly cannot withstand such an insult.
That's also decent.
For the powerful, respectability is more important than tangible benefits.
You have lost all your dignity and others will think you have lost power, which is even more serious!
Duke Wei quickly calmed down and said to Yan Fu, "We, Duke Wei's Mansion, want 70% of the storage bags from the auction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Merchant Alliance. If anyone dares to snatch them..."
He paused, then continued, "I'll let Bo'er investigate their family's mess!"
"only."
Duke Wei let out a long sigh.
Wei Bo, the prince of the Duke of Wei, has done many terrifying things since he became the director of the Military Statistics and Investigation Department under the Grand Council.
So there is a lot of gossip outside.
It's not like the Duke of Wei hadn't heard of it.
He is going to fight back this time.
My family is just like dogs for Xu Gongming.
Come and bite me!
