Chapter 110: The Golden Branch and the Foundation
Zhu Xianene paused, and then concluded:
"Willingness is crucial. As far as foundation building is concerned, the more the season, chance, fate, etc., can be in tune with the miracle, the less will power is required. But if you miss it by a fraction of a centimeter, maybe a single thought will make the Dao heart unstable and a thousand miles away. And if the wish is overflowing, then it doesn't matter if the season is almost there, and it doesn't matter if the number of lives is almost there. The Wish Power contained in the Golden Branch can completely fill in the cause and effect of this, and increase the probability of building your foundation to 1,000%! This is called a miracle. As long as you are willing to be strong enough, you can make miracles happen again. β
"Is it so convenient?"
"In fact, when you accumulate seasons, chances, fate, ceremonies, etc., you are all accumulating wishing power, because these are all 'wishes' that you want to make miracles come. It's impossible to quantify how much Willpower is needed, but the Golden Bob is enough, and it can help you get infinitely close to the miracle - which seems to have something to do with the magic on the Roman side. So now, as long as you wait for Tsukidan to come out, use Tsukidan to locate the direction of 'wish', and then a golden branch can help you fill in the cause and effect, so that the miracle will come directly. If that's the case, I've got a solution. I could force open that stone statue. β
"Is there a way?"
"Hey, have you forgotten that Taishang Laojun refined Sun Wukong? At that time, Taishang Laojun probably also wanted to use Sun Wukong as the 'inner furnace tripod' and the Dan furnace of Tushi Palace as the outer furnace tripod, so as to refine the wonderful golden pill. Of course, he just got away with it in the end, but let Sun Wukong break the Dan furnace and run out. But this trick does work, so if you can get the golden branch, I plan to directly put the stone statue into the furnace to refine, and I will directly smelt it into Tsukidan. It's also a miracle. β
"Wait, Your Majesty the Son of Heaven, if we have gathered so many unlucky elements, will we let her run out as well?"
"What about having all the elements. It's not strong enough to work a miracle. I didn't refine it before because Tsukidan also has a shelf life, and it's useless to refine it in advance if you can't find the medicine introduction. In addition, I also heard that there is a creature in it, and I can save it. But now that the medicine will be available soon, there is nothing to wait for. That Phaethon dug his own grave, and there was a way to die, no wonder we did. Plus-"
He emphasized: "The golden branch also has an expiration date, and after you get the golden branch, you have to refine it as soon as possible." No matter how much hope she has of being saved, we can't miss the shelf life of the golden branches, otherwise they will dry up. So what do you think? Your Dan, your furnace ding, in the end, you have to make up your mind. β
"No problem, let's get started." Shang Luo had already made sufficient mental preparations before, and he would not hesitate to patrol here. The phrase "don't give food a name" he had already memorized, and he already had such a psychological hint.
"Very good, then I'll go and prepare for alchemy after the meeting, and I have to warm up the furnace first. You and the Roman guard also have to finalize the process of the branch breaking ceremony, and if you need help, just ask, and you can bring in a celestial to help you - but it seems that you can't use a celestial, you can ask him for the specific elements. That's it, hang up first. After the date is confirmed, I will report it, and the furnace on my side can be kept warm all the time, and I can do alchemy at any time. β
Hanging up, he nodded at Titus.
"Yes, I'll be part of the operation."
"Good, good!" Titus clapped three times excitedly, "It's finally going to work." Can Aurora help? β
"Yes, even if you send out the celestials."
"No, no, no, heaven and man can't. The trial of the broken branch is for 'man', not for celestial. The presence of the celestials will break the ritual, and they are stronger than their heads. Similar high-end combat power can't be used, so we also asked apprentices to participate in the ceremony before. In addition, age is also very important, and too old can also break the ritual. Because this is theoretically a ritual of 'counter-killing' the priest-king by participating in the 'sacrifice', at least the qualifications of the sacrifice must be met, and the age must not be too old. β
"What level is an apprentice?"
"Descendants of 6,666 Golden Book families. Each of them is qualified to take charge of the lights and can therefore become apprentices. However, we have very few apprentices there, only a dozen a year. None of this year's apprentices were useful, none of them made it through the night to the ritual ground, and they didn't even pass the first level. You arrived straight away, and it seems that a miracle will come upon you. You can find more helpers, no more than 5 people. On the premise that you are the same age, the stronger the combat power, the better. β
"Five, huh? I want to think about it."
He also counted the combat power of the "Qi Practitioner" level that he knew.
Wen Yuan, he is completely qualified, but his luck is not very good. But when I acted with him, the plan went quite smoothly.
Lu Liang is also a combat power of this level, just eat radishes in advance. If Zhu Xianene can get the concentrated radish done, then Lu Liang can also go all out to participate in the war.
Han Xingzhi in the team was also a qi practitioner, but he didn't know the exercises that Han Xingzhi practiced. You can ask when you go back.
Counting himself, he is four, and he is still one short of it.
"It's not a big problem." Shang Luo replied, "I can get the candidate here." Are there any benefits to the other participants? β
"Unfortunately, no." Titus shook his head, "There is only one golden branch at a time, and there can only be one branch breaker. So you'd better invite someone you trust, or it's not good to change your mind on the spot. If you fold it down, only you can use it, and no one else can use it. That's it. All you have to do is get that ready, and we'll take care of the rest. β
"Then I'm ready on my side, and I can start in a few days."
"Our words. We'll have to wait a minute, I'll have to prepare five people's EITR potions. As he spoke, he unfastened his cloak that he had coveredβ
Under the cape, the outfit of the inner guard looks very different from before. The limbs sticking out of the clothes are made of close-fitting fabric, and they look like wetsuts. In fact, if you look closely, the breathing mask itself is also like a wetsuit part, and there is a cylinder for breathing on the back.
"Those five will all have to wear our outfits by then. This is the phlogiston stealth gear, and the most important thing is the cylinder behind me. The EITR potion is inside. β
"There's actually a liquid in there? Want to breathe fluids? β
"Yes. So be prepared, because you may feel suffocated by drowning. But that's part of the nightfall. You've almost forgotten the details of Lake Nemi, haven't you? Because it was a dream, not a night. The Xudrawei you see are probably wearing costumes that match the scene. The real ritual of breaking branches is not to fall into a dream, but to fall into the night. You need to drown in the EITR before you can dive into the mystery and stay awake. It may take a little bit of dive training and then control the time. Once you've got all the people, the ceremony can begin. β
Later today's update will be sent out at noon. Good night everyone.
