Chapter 156: Technology Leads the Future

Asking Qingdi for Divine Substance was just a casual remark by Zhang Xuan; if it succeeded, that would of course be best.

After all, with Qingdi's strength and realm, it would be far too easy to obtain Divine Substance from the Universe, and if Qingdi were willing to put in some effort, refining the Nine-Turn Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid would also be quite simple.

The Eternal Star Domain uses the power of an entire star domain to search the Universe, yet it is difficult to find the nine most powerful types of Divine Substance to refine the strongest Nine-Turn Bloodline Optimization Fluid.

That is a supreme divine object from Legend that is effective even for a Quasi-Emperor, capable of sublimating a Quasi-Emperor's bloodline and bringing them step by step closer to a Great Emperor.

If it could even be refined into a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, it would have excellent effects even for an Ancient Great Emperor.

Collecting it is, of course, very difficult.

Naturally, Zhang Xuan mostly believed that Qingdi would not spend too much effort searching for Divine Substance, and at most would just casually give him one or two pieces.

Qingdi might not even care much about these Divine Substances; after all, the current Qingdi has walked a great distance in the Great Emperor realm and can already be considered to be on the path of a Red Dust Immortal.

He might not care about these later things at all.

But regardless of whether it succeeds or not, there is no harm in trying; what if Qingdi takes an interest?

Zhang Xuan did not care whether Qingdi agreed or not and spoke directly to himself.

Zhang Xuan: 【The time until the opening of the Immortal Path is too short; to rise to the heavens in the shortest possible time, one needs many special substances to aid in evolution. I plan to unite several Desolate Ancient Families and the Demon Race to let them advance rapidly on the path of cultivation and see if there is a chance to change some things.

If I can obtain the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid, and it is above the fourth turn, that would be best.

Perhaps it can allow a group of people to rise to the heavens in the shortest time and become top-tier powerhouses. The top-tier powerhouses on Beidou are still too few now to suppress the future Dark Turmoil.】

Zhang Xuan requested earnestly, and Qingdi was silent for a moment before saying.

Qingdi: 【While walking in the Universe, I have collected some Divine Substance, but my state is not good. In my later years, I encountered Darkness, and I am often muddled. If the Saint Body had not squeezed my Essence blood not long ago, allowing me to recover from the muddle, my state might be even worse. Sigh, the path was ultimately walked incorrectly.】

Qingdi's words carried dejection, but Zhang Xuan did not feel uneasy listening to them; instead, his eyes lit up.

If it were before, Zhang Xuan would definitely have felt panicked and very uncomfortable.

After all, Qingdi counts as Zhang Xuan's greatest backer. If Qingdi had some problems, Zhang Xuan would not dare to walk around Beidou recklessly. Without a background or a backer, would he still dare to mingle on Beidou?

Do you believe others would swing an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon at you?

But now, that is different.

With Gai Jiuyou, who has achieved Alternative Enlightenment and is in a peak state of Qi and blood, one can run rampant across all of Beidou. All kinds of things can be done boldly without worrying about various problems.

On Beidou, there can be many refined operations.

Simply put, with Gai Jiuyou, Qingdi is no longer the treasure in Zhang Xuan's heart.

Even before, Qingdi was too much of a "salted fish," and Zhang Xuan could hardly stand it. Now that he heard Qingdi's state was not right, Zhang Xuan not only did not feel uneasy but instead felt relieved.

Mainly, Zhang Xuan wants to move that Great Accomplishment Saint Body on Sheng Ya, and he has many operations to perform next. He was afraid that Qingdi would interfere with him during this process.

In that case, Zhang Xuan would have lived very uncomfortably. Now that Qingdi's state is poor, it is not bad news for Zhang Xuan, but rather good news.

Calculating many thoughts in his heart, but showing nothing on the surface, Zhang Xuan even took the initiative to ask.

Zhang Xuan: 【I don't know where the problem lies. If there is anything I can help with, I will certainly help.】

Qingdi: 【No need, it is a problem with cultivation; I can only rely on myself.】

Qingdi was very calm. After finishing these words, the whole person had no more life, and he did not pop up much. It seems only Fengyun Wuji's words just now caused him some shock.

At other times, Qingdi is indeed very low-key.

Zhang Xuan was preparing to lurk and run away; he had already accomplished his purpose.

His cultivation speed is unimaginably fast, and he has publicly stated in the Chat Group that he practices the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art. Those who don't know the industry might not understand clearly, but those who do, like Meng Qi, would definitely be very afraid of him.

After all, these two techniques are both famous and terrifying methods. If it caused everyone in the Chat Group to feel insecure and afraid of Zhang Xuan later, that would be very bad. Therefore, Zhang Xuan deliberately revealed his cultivation process to show that he is practicing the Indestructible Heavenly Art openly and honestly, and has not been killing people indiscriminately.

In this way, the overall situation is still controllable.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he did not expect the Chat Group to suddenly vibrate again at this moment. Luo Ji, who usually does not pop up and seems out of place with the whole Chat Group, suddenly stood out to speak.

Luo Ji: 【Is there anyone who can teach me? I downloaded a Nine Yang Divine Art a while ago, and it seems I have entered the gate. Isn't it said that my world is a technological world? There shouldn't be any so-called Essence, right? But my cultivation is very fast.】

"Ah, ha?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment. He had never cared much about Luo Ji; mainly because Luo Ji really seemed out of place in the Chat Group. A character from a pure technological world seemed to have no great significance or help to Zhang Xuan.

Luo Ji's presence in the Chat Group is also not very strong. He basically supports Qiao Feng and Xiong Ba in their struggle for the world, and recently he has become closer to Alice, wanting to verify the high-level technology of his world in Alice's world.

He cannot talk to the group of cultivation people, especially the Immortal Xia and Gods and Demons worlds; technology and Gods and Demons should not be in the same place.

After all, one side is purely understanding the laws of heaven, earth, and nature to climb technology, while the other side seems to be feudal superstition; the two should not stay together.

But the words Luo Ji said today surprised Zhang Xuan.

"Nine Yang Divine Art entered the gate?"

Before Zhang Xuan could reply, Meng Qi, who has always been quirky, jumped out.

Meng Qi: 【To what extent have you practiced?】

Luo Ji: 【The Essence has been accumulated, and I am currently following True Person Zhang's method, opening up the acupoints all over my body bit by bit. It is almost Great Accomplishment.】

Zhang Sanfeng: 【Holy crap!】

Qiao Feng: 【Holy crap!】

Xiong Ba: 【Holy crap!】

Alice: 【Holy crap!】

Zhang Sanfeng: 【...】

Zhang Sanfeng: 【What the hell are you guys saying "holy crap" for? This old Daoist is marveling at the layperson's cultivation speed. The Nine Yang Divine Art was downloaded by the layperson only a few days ago, and he has already reached such a stage. It is truly shocking. Why are you guys copying this old Daoist?】

Qiao Feng: 【I don't really understand either; it's mainly because the formation was too neat, so I just followed along and posted it once.】

Xiong Ba: 【Plus one!】

Alice: 【Plus one!】

Luo Ji: 【You guys stop lining up. I am genuinely curious. Doesn't the Nine Yang Divine Art describe that for an ordinary person to practice this technique to Great Accomplishment, it takes decades of effort? And it's not certain that one can truly reach Great Accomplishment. But my cultivation was not very troublesome. Can anyone answer this?】

Zhang Sanfeng: 【This old Daoist would like to provide an answer, but you are all monsters, and this old Daoist truly cannot fathom it.

Little friend Zhang Xuan is in a Seventh Tier world, and a Cultivation World at that; I can understand him entering the path in a very short time, but in a world like yours, in such a short time... uh, a Tier 11 world, alright, it is just that this old Daoist was born too low and has too little experience.】

Zhang Sanfeng felt discouraged.

Luo Ji: 【Senior, there is no need to be so self-deprecating. In this world of mine, there truly shouldn't be very dense Heaven and Earth Essence; otherwise, there wouldn't be a lack of top-tier martial arts experts. The reason I cultivate so quickly is that I basically control the power of the entire globe.

Although I cannot easily mobilize all power, when used for daily auxiliary cultivation, it is fast; there is a top-tier scientific research team that tested the locations of the relevant meridians and acupoints on my body.

At the same time, I can try every single spiritual herb in the world, whether it is Century Ginseng or the corresponding lingzhi... as long as the medicinal materials are useful for cultivation, they can all be gathered for me.

There are specialized personnel monitoring my physical state; which medicinal materials have an accelerating effect on my Internal Energy, and at what level of consumption negative effects appear, are all recorded by specialized personnel.

The reason I am cultivating so quickly now is that I take a Peiyuan Pill daily, which was jointly developed by many top scientists.

It combines part of the effects of the Shaolin Small Restoration Pill and Great Restoration Pill; I have refined six types of Great Restoration Pills, two of which are effective, and my Internal Energy cultivation can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds...】

After reading this long passage, Zhang Xuan felt a bit envious.

Having the world's top scientific research team serving him, and having all kinds of top-tier medicinal material teams helping him collect corresponding herbs to refine top-tier pills that ancient cultivators could only dream of, and it is even mass-produced on an assembly line.

It is enough to make one die of envy, isn't it?

Zhang Sanfeng: 【...】

He is still walking the world with Li Xiaoyao, collecting spiritual pills and medicines everywhere, accumulating points, and trying to find a way to let his disciples and grandchildren come to a world like the Xianjian World.

After all, in his view, such a world is too wonderful; Heaven and Earth Essence is everywhere, and there are spiritual pills and medicines everywhere; it is simply a supreme treasure land.

Although he is busy every day, his days are fulfilling, and he feels very comfortable, but today, being pricked in the heart by Luo Ji so suddenly, Zhang Sanfeng also cannot quite hold up.

As the founding patriarch, he has to collect a little bit of everything, accumulate points, and spend his days slaying demons in deep mountains and old forests or catching ghosts in the bustling city, only then getting a meager amount of points.

Yet most of the points have to be used to maintain his stay in the Xianjian World; after all the hard work, he still has to be cautious and careful to save just a tiny bit of extra points. His life could not be harder, and what about the other party?

Sitting at home, he has countless people researching for him, and there are specialized people refining Great Restoration Pills and Small Restoration Pills for him, and he even refined six types!

Yet Luo Ji continued to speak.

Luo Ji: 【Senior Zhang, I wonder if you could upload more medicinal formulas. I have verified all the many formulas uploaded so far, and most of them can be replicated. Now, items like the Great Restoration Pill can basically be refined at a rate of six hundred pills per day, and even more for the Small Restoration Pill...

We have already extracted the peculiar substances in the Great Restoration Pill and Small Restoration Pill through technological means, and then synthesized them post-natally, but one cannot eat too many of the same type of pill.

For example, if you eat more than three Great Restoration Pills at once, the medicinal efficacy will be greatly weakened. We have also tried other pills, and they basically all have this effect, so I hope to have more different formulas...】

Qiao Feng: 【Great Restoration Pill? Eat three at a time, and refine six hundred a day?】

In the Northern Song world, Qiao Feng's mouth twitched a little when he heard this.

As the secret medicine of Shaolin Temple and the most famous pill in the entire martial arts world, the Great Restoration Pill is considered a top-tier pill even in Shaolin Temple; often, the entire accumulation of Shaolin Temple over many years would not exceed two fingers' count.

I don't know how many people have begged and pleaded at Shaolin Temple and still couldn't get a single one, but the other party is doing well, eating three every time he cultivates...

If the people in Shaolin Temple heard such words, they would probably go straight crazy.

Luo Ji did not stop there, but directly sent a private red packet.

Zhang Xuan glanced at it, and the private red packet was snatched up immediately; it contained twenty Great Restoration Pills. This private red packet was claimed by Zhang Sanfeng, and then the next two private red packets were claimed by Xiong Ba and Qiao Feng respectively.

Each one was twenty pills; such wealth and arrogance made Zhang Xuan exclaim repeatedly.

"Good fellow, truly a good fellow."

And Luo Ji said unhurriedly in the Chat Group.

Luo Ji: 【I have discovered that the Trisolaran blockade on technology is basically everywhere; they used protons to lock down the entire Earth, making it difficult to have new developments, but regarding cultivation, the Trisolarans know absolutely nothing.

I have drawn on some of the technology from the Eternal Star Domain provided to us by Senior Qingdi; among them, the technology for synthesizing spiritual ginseng, lingzhi, and corresponding spiritual herbs is very useful to us and can be used to refine Great Restoration Pills, Small Restoration Pills, Peiyuan Pills...】

The technological path is blocked, but the cultivation path is not. I feel that there is great potential in this area.

Of course, it is still uncertain whether this path can be walked through; the corresponding Light-Speed Spaceship still cannot be built.

Otherwise, I could search for materials for the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid in the universe and starry river and try to refine the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid.

Since I cannot do that now, I have to spread the corresponding martial arts manuals further, refine more pills, and let more people strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives, to see if we can walk out a brand new path once again.

Seniors of the urban Cultivation World, I hope you can give this junior some pointers.

This is the new Nine Yang Divine Art cultivation route developed by this junior and many cultivation personnel. Compared to the previous efficiency of refining Essence, the speed of cultivation has increased by three times and the speed of cultivation has increased by more than five times. The optimized route is here; seniors, please help me take a look to see if it can be further optimized. This junior would be extremely grateful. If it can really succeed, this junior will definitely offer more gifts.】
