Chapter 469: Learning by analogy, ancestral craftsmanship
In order to cultivate immortality, people can really do anything...

A truck slowly drove into the gate of the nursing home, the tailgate was lowered, and a stone tablet half a person's height was carefully moved to the ground by the workers.

Along with the stone tablet, there was also a half-meter square iron box. Inside the box were samples of newly discovered spiritual materials shipped from the island country.

Speaking of which, these spiritual materials are what Zheng Fa wants.

The stone tablet belongs to the one over there who is so shameless that he has to send it to Immortal Zheng for a look. He is very sincere and will pay for the shipping fee himself.

Zheng Fa opened the iron box, and inside it were several tightly sealed metal cans. He opened the cans again, and a cloud of white smoke suddenly came out of the cans.

When the white smoke dissipated, the spiritual material inside revealed its true appearance:
This is a silver-black liquid with a thick texture, like mercury, but icy cold - the white smoke is the cold air leaking out.

Zheng Fa recognized this thing at a glance:

"Xuanmingsha, the lowest quality kind."

Xuanmingsha is a kind of evil energy on earth. It is not precious and is especially common on the seabed.

The Xuanming Evil discovered this time has a spiritual level of only single digits - this shows that its purity is low and there are many impurities. If it is placed in the Xuanwei Realm, it will not be sold at a high price, and no one will even want it.

But in the modern world, this is a novelty.

The old man was curious by nature, and he stretched out his finger as if he wanted to touch it.

"Teacher Bai... this thing is harmful to the body." Zheng Fa looked at his restless movements and said helplessly, "Earthly evil energy is somewhat toxic to the human body."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Tian glared at the old man.

The old man's fingers stiffened slightly, and he whispered: "Scientific research... Scientific research requires a spirit of dedication, how can you be afraid of this or that?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Tian gritted his teeth and twisted his waist.

Although he had mastered the "Five Thunder Body Technique", the old man obviously could not withstand the wrath of Teacher Tian. He bared his teeth but dared not say a word.

You are not afraid of being poisoned, but I can see that you are quite afraid of your wife.

Speaking of which, Teacher Tian’s cultivation level is now much higher than that of this old man.

...No wonder this old man has been muttering about his spiritual roots, low qualifications, and almost lost family status every day recently.

However, Zheng Fa could understand the old man's curiosity:
Monk Xuanwei despises this thing.

However, the nursing home, which has been longing for spiritual materials, regards them as treasures.

"For us, the technology of spiritual material transformation is not difficult." Tang Lingwu also leaned over and looked at the Xuanmingsha in the jar. "We already have the alchemy furnace. We should be able to use it after some modification. Cultivation..."

She thought for a moment, and said while counting on her fingers: "In our nursing home, there are five foundation-building cultivators, plus my golden elixir, even if you, Zheng Fa, are not available, it is enough."

Zheng Fa nodded when he heard this.

If it is not an extremely precious and rare spiritual material, the spiritual material transformation project can generally be presided over by a Jindan disciple.

In the nursing home, in addition to the old man Bai and his two companions, there are two other people with good qualifications who have also established their foundation.

If we add those scholars who practice Qigong, with a little training, it would not be difficult to transform some simple spiritual materials.

"Can we refine magic weapons now?"

The old man's tone was full of longing.

Even Teacher Tian looked expectant.

Zheng Fa turned around and asked Team Leader Yang who came with the truck: "What is the production of this Xuanmingsha?"

"Not much, but according to our observation, it seems to be increasing. It's just that it's on the seabed and it's poisonous, so it's actually quite difficult to mine." Team Leader Yang frowned, and then added, "Dean, you also know that if there is too much spiritual energy, many electronic devices will not work well... Just these few cans took a lot of effort to get up here."

It is growing, which is normal.

The production of spiritual materials requires an environment and spiritual energy.

The sea area where the Xuanming Evil is located probably already meets the environmental factors. Coupled with the fact that the Fusang tree brings spiritual energy to the modern world, the Xuanming Evil naturally came into being.

Even though the quality of this evil spirit is not high now, if it is accumulated over the years or if there is sufficient spiritual energy, its quality may improve in the future.

Tang Lingwu immediately said, "How about I go?"

She has reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation, so she is naturally not afraid of this Xuanming evil.

There really wasn't anything wrong with going mining - the problem was that she was too busy, and Zheng Fa was reluctant to let her run around.

"What about Nezha?"

When Zheng Fa said this, the old man slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that big toy will come in handy now, right?"

Team leader Yang also nodded and said, "With the current production, once a month is enough."

The old man suddenly asked, "Zheng Fa, how are you going to use this spiritual material?"

"Too little, and the quality is too low..." Zheng Fa shook his head slightly, "It's impossible to make external pills. I can only make the simplest magic tools."

"It's even less than enough to condense Ling Wu's life magic weapon."

The quantity and quality of the Xuanmingsha are not very good.

Even with the transformation of spiritual materials, what can be produced is limited. Of course, for the nursing home, it is still a breakthrough from zero.

There was a hint of disappointment on the faces of several people.

Then Zheng Fa laughed and said, "The significance of this Xuanming Sha is to prove that spiritual materials can be produced naturally. It may not work now, but it will work in the future... What's more, when the Fusang wood evolves again or I become a god, there may be some changes."

After the transformation into a spirit, Hongshan's spiritual energy will probably be greatly enhanced.

"As for this Xuanming Sha...let the scholars in Hongshan play with it."

"Play? How?"

The old man was stunned, and then he heard Zheng Fa say: "Why not hold a magic weapon design competition?"

The old white guy and his friends looked at each other and thought it sounded quite interesting.

"You want to see what they can do?"

Zheng Fa smiled and nodded.

He had this idea because, firstly, there were too few Xuanmingsha and they were of poor quality. There were limited things they could do and it was of little significance to him. There would be no loss in giving them to these scholars.

Secondly, the purpose is still the same: to borrow brains.

The Jiushan Sect's weapon-refining style has changed to a certain extent because Madam Xuanhua has learned modern knowledge, especially mechanical structures, and has become slightly different from the Xuanwei Realm:
For example, various Shenxiao flying boats.

But overall, I still tend to follow the ideas of the Xuanwei Realm.

This is normal. After all, she is a cultivator who grew up in the Xuanwei Realm.

But the people in the nursing home are different. The concepts they learned since childhood and the various novels and comics they read while growing up have made their thinking very different from that of Mrs. Xuanhua.

Zheng Fa gave the Xuanming Evil to them to "play with" just to see what new things they could come up with by using their divergent thinking, and whether they could bring him some surprises.

If he said anything and the people in the nursing home did anything, it would be a waste of their wisdom and would not be in line with Zheng Fa's original intention of setting up the nursing home.

It is better to give them some room to play freely.

Seeing that the old man was still a little confused, Zheng Fa smiled and explained:
"Teacher Bai, I teach you the way of immortality, but I don't want them to follow me step by step."

“The nursing home is, after all, a research institution.”

“Let a hundred flowers bloom, and let each show its strengths.”

The old man understood. He looked into Hongshan, as if looking at the laboratories, and said with a smile:

"Even the spiritual materials that we have worked so hard to obtain can be used to train them... No wonder so many people want to come."

When Team Leader Yang heard this, he suddenly pointed at the stone tablet and said, "What should we do with this thing? I think they are really eager to come here."

Several people looked at the stone tablet and saw two paragraphs of text written on the top and bottom. The upper part was in ancient Chinese, and the lower part was probably a local language. There were also traces of wear on the inscription, which showed that it was made with great care and even looked quite realistic.

The only weird thing is that the character "Zheng" is very clear...

The old man shook his head and sighed, "Foreigners are not stupid either. This is an opportunity to cultivate immortality."

A few years ago, it would be understandable that foreigners didn’t know what cultivation was.

But in the past few years, although Zheng Fa didn't make any big moves, he never concealed it. Who doesn't know that becoming an immortal is good?
"What do they want?"

Team leader Yang suppressed his laughter and said, "Return to your roots."

"No, do they really think anyone believes it?"

"They know this is fake, we know it is fake, and even the whole world knows it is fake." Team Leader Yang glanced at Zheng Fa, "But as long as the dean says it is true, then it is true."

Zheng Fa thought for a while and said, "These are all small matters. You can decide. I can only give two conditions at most:"

"Dean, you say."

"One, spiritual materials in exchange for food. We can give them some shares of the products of Jiushan Food Company and even Jiushan Pharmaceutical Company in the future."

"One, when the nursing home recruits graduate students in the future, they can also enter the nursing home if they pass the exam."

Simply put, Zheng Fa moved half of the Baixian League's model here.

This is of course because Zheng Fa regards the entire modern world as his own training ground. He has to train these people eventually. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, as long as they have enough brains, everything will be fine.

On the other hand, he was too lazy to make any more trouble, and he still viewed the nursing home as a research institution.

Leave the rest to the authorities.

This was exactly what he wanted - or rather, he valued the sea area that could produce the Mysterious Dark Evil more.

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Yang looked confident: "With these two conditions, it will be easy to negotiate."

The old man asked, "How are they going to talk?"

Team leader Yang laughed and pointed at the stone tablet: "Isn't this because it's hard to refuse a kind invitation and blood is thicker than water?"

The old man looked at the stone tablet for a long time before he sighed, "You said this thing was fake, but it can really be used."

Zheng Fa was startled, and then he looked at the stone tablet, his eyes gradually brightened. …

"I, build a fairy-trapping sword?"

Madam Xuanhua pointed at her nose, with an expression that said, "Thank you so much, Master. It's really something I can't do."

"Fake, fake."

Zheng Fa explained: "As long as the appearance is good and the spiritual materials are similar, it's fine."

Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand: "You want to make a fake Xianjian and secretly replace the original Xianjian?"

Zheng Fa nodded.

He had been troubled by one thing for a long time - how to get rid of the Xianjian Sword without attracting an attack from Haori Mountain.

He was really envious of the Xianjian sword, a real magic weapon.

But if he really took the Xianjian Sword, Hao Rishan would definitely go crazy.

By then, it is hard to say who between him and Sect Leader Yan will attract more hatred from Hao Ri Mountain.

"Hao Rishan is not stupid!" Madam Xuan Hua was still puzzled and muttered, "If I can refine a realistic Xian Xian Sword, why should we be afraid of them?"

Although Tiangong Pavilion is strong, to be honest, it is only good at refining magical weapons.

He doesn't even have the level to refine spiritual weapons and treasures.

Not to mention refining a true immortal magic weapon like the Xianjian Sword.

The problem of spiritual materials can still be solved - although the spiritual materials used in the Xianjian Sword are refined from the mysterious spiritual materials collected by Venerable Tianhe, they are all very precious.

But through the transformation of spiritual materials, with the current accumulation of the Nine Mountains Realm, it is not impossible to produce it even if you spend a lot of money.

The problem is that the aura circuit that produces the sword spirit is very complicated.

Not to mention, the True Immortal magic weapon itself has an extremely high status, and even has some strangeness that Zheng Fa and others don’t understand: or in other words, Zheng Fa doesn’t understand at all how to raise the status of a magic weapon to that of a True Immortal.

No matter how confident Madam Xuanhua was, she was not sure if she could make a fake Xianjian. She even felt that Zheng Fa wanted to embarrass her to death.

Even Senior Sister Zhang frowned, as if she thought Zheng Fa was daydreaming.

"Okay, we can't copy a True Immortal-level Xian Xian Sword." Zheng Fa smiled, "Wouldn't it be better to copy a bad Xian Xian Sword?"

"Broken? How could the Xianjian Sword be broken..." Senior Sister Zhang was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, "The Heaven and Earth God Demon Formation?"

Zheng Fa said confidently, "Yes, they made a mistake in operating the Heaven and Earth God Array and turned a good True Immortal Spirit Treasure into a magic weapon. What does this have to do with our Jiushan Sect?"

Senior Sister Zhang stared at Zheng Fa for a long time, then exchanged glances with Madam Xuanhua before saying:
"This... sounds feasible."

Zheng Fa thought clearly: "Whether it is feasible or not, it won't hurt to give it a try. It would be best if they can't see it. If they can see it, then we can just rob it openly."

After hearing this, Senior Sister Zhang and the other two realized that Zheng Fa was not blindly confident.

As Zheng Fa said:

The final goal is to fight for the Xianjian Sword.

If you can keep it secret, you will certainly make money.

If I can't hide it, then I won't lose if I have a real fight.

……

To forge, to forge the Xianjian Sword, even if it was a reduced-specification version of the Xianjian Sword, the requirements were actually beyond Madam Xuanhua's ability.

Especially for only three months.

"I already have the data on the structure of the Xianjian Sword and its spiritual material composition." Zheng Fali said to Madam Xuanhua in a weapon refining factory.

Part of this data came from the communication between Zheng Fa and Xianjian Spirit, and the detection of the positive and negative five elements divine light. The other part, or even most of it, came from the contribution of Hao Rishan:

In order to refine the Xianjian Sword, they naturally conducted a lot of research on it, and it can even be said that they have been researching it for hundreds of thousands of years.

These studies are naturally reflected in the innate divine and evil formation.

Senior Sister Zhang, Madam Xuanhua, and more than fifty Jindan disciples gathered in a group and listened to his explanation.

These are the elite members of Tiangong Pavilion, the weapon-refining talents selected by Madam Xuanhua in recent years.

The project of replicating Xianjian Sword could be said to be related to the life and death of Jiushan Sect, so the project team was naturally composed of elite soldiers and generals.

Madam Xuanhua frowned, still not looking confident, and pursed her lips as she said, "Theoretically, it's not that difficult to refine a magical sword... but whether it can be hidden from Haori Mountain is hard to say."

Seeing her nervous expression, Zheng Fa laughed and said, "I will go to Shenhuoshan Mountain tomorrow and ask Xianjianling to see if she has any suggestions."

"That's feasible!" Madam Xuanhua's eyes lit up, "If I can have Xianjian Ling as my advisor, I'll have a better chance of success."

"Not only will I trap the Immortal Sword Spirit, I will also hire a consultant."

"Who?"

Zheng Fa's palm lit up, and in the warm jade light, the Jade Book of Creation flew out, casting a curtain of light.

The face of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor appeared in the light curtain, and his expression was a little confused.

"What's up?"

"Well, there is something I would like to ask the Demon Ancestor for help."

"..."

The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor did not say anything, but just looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

Zheng Fa explained to him that the Jiushan Sect wanted to imitate the Xianjian Sword. The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor gradually opened his mouth and seemed to be shocked by Zheng Fa's idea.

"How could you think of me?"

Isn’t it because I see you talking about Venerable Tianhe every day?
According to "Tianhe Xiuxian Ji", the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor knew Tianhe Venerable not too late.

The Four Zhu Xian Swords were actually refined by Venerable Tianhe after he attained enlightenment - before that he was using the Qingping Sword.

Based on this speculation, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor may even have participated in the refining of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

If the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor joins, the production team of Xianjian Youth Edition will be truly full of talents:
In terms of craftsmanship, Madam Xuanhua brought out the elite of Tiangong Pavilion. They not only learned the secret methods of refining weapons from the major sects of Baixian League and even Haori Mountain, but also were proficient in the study of spiritual materials, talismans and even various modern knowledge - they are the new generation of refining talents in the Xuanwei Realm.

In terms of data, there is the self-destruction of Xianjian Ling, the help of Haori Mountain, and Zheng Fa's positive and negative five elements divine light.

If the ancestral craftsmanship of the Demon Ancestor is added.

In essence, this was a close collaboration between the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, Haori Mountain, and the Jiushan Sect...it was just that Haori Mountain wasn't quite aware of it.

If Madam Xuanhua and the others were not weak enough, with this configuration, Zheng Fa would even be confident that he could actually make it...

It can be said that in the Xuanwei Realm, only Zheng Fa and the Jiushan Sect have the technology, connections, and data to create a fake Xianjian.

But the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor seemed unwilling.

"Why should I help you?"

"Hao Ri Mountain is also the enemy of the Demon Ancestor. Weakening them will also benefit you, the Demon Ancestor." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "Does the Demon Ancestor want Hao Ri Mountain to have another True Immortal magic weapon?"

Jiuyou Demon Ancestor's expression showed a sneer: "What can one more Immortal-Trapping Sword do to me?"

...Is this Demon Ancestor so arrogant?
If you have the guts to brag to me, you might as well beat Hao Rishan to death!

But seeing how confident the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is, it seems that the Xianjian Sword is indeed not a big threat to him.

Zheng Fa was silent for a while, then spoke again:

"Demon Ancestor, do you have a good relationship with Venerable Tianhe?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"The fall of Venerable Tianhe is closely related to Haori Mountain. If Xianjian recognizes Venerable Tianhe as his enemy, does the Demon Ancestor not care?"

"..."

"When the time comes, Hao Rishan will take the immortal sword of his old friend and fight with you, the Demon Ancestor, to the death. The sword is the sword of the old friend that the Demon Ancestor is familiar with, but he doesn't recognize you, the Demon Ancestor, and doesn't remember Reverend Tianhe. How can you bear to see this scene?"

"..."

"If Venerable Tianhe knew about this, what would he think? Would he want his most precious treasure and his best friend to fight to the death?"

"..."

In the corner of the light curtain, Sect Leader Yan trembled slightly, as if he felt that winter had suddenly arrived in the Sect Leader's Hall.

He looked at Zheng Fa, his expression collapsed:
He didn't know whether the Demon Ancestor and the Xianjian were alive or dead, and Zheng Fa didn't think about his own life or death at all.

Your words are like knives, stabbing this demon's heart with each one. After you stab him, the video hangs up and you run away. Where can I run?

Zheng Fa looked at the cold gaze of the Demon Ancestor, but he was not afraid:
This Demon Ancestor wanted to borrow his server... He couldn't lend it to him for free, right?

"... Tell me how you want to practice?"

……

Two months later, Zheng Fa was holding a Xianjian sword.

Judging from the appearance, this Xianjian Sword is no different from the one from Huoshenshan.

Even the refining techniques, taught by the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, still have some of the style of the former Tianhe Ancestor.

When Xianjian Spirit comes, he has to recognize a half-brother.

Only the spiritual energy circuit in it, the upper part comes from the skills of Haori Mountain, and the lower part comes from Tianhe School. At first glance, it is a mixture of two styles, and there is a conflict between them - this is also what Zheng Fa did on purpose. What they want to imitate is not the current Xianjian Sword, but the Xianjian Sword that was destroyed by the Heaven and Earth God Array. Naturally, it cannot be exactly the same as the current Xianjian Sword, so they have to fake an accident scene.

Looking at the different patterns on the sword, Senior Sister Zhang was a little confused: "Junior brother, how did you come up with this idea?"

Well...inspiration from foreign friends.
