Chapter 85: Fleeting, Steam and Industry
The phoenix is not a sycamore, and now Xu Xuan also lives in the sycamore cave.
In Wutong Cave, after Xie was naturally buried, Xu Xuan cleared out the ruins and built a house and a spirit gathering array inside.
As the stone of the Spirit Gathering Array was buried, the aura of this place formed an internal circulation.
"It's a huge boost again." Xu Xuan took a deep breath.
As if he was in the real world of cultivating immortals, he started a new round of cultivation.
After practicing the fundamental exercises, he immediately came outside the house to practice spells, practicing golden light spells, flying cloud spells and other spells.
"If you do alchemy inside, it may be more convenient."
Xu Xuan looked at the vacant land around him, twenty square meters of space was used to live and practice, and the other eighty square meters ...... "You can plant some spiritual grass." ”
Xu Xuan had already instructed Zhou Yuan and the others to collect the new Danfang and the related spirit grass seedlings.
As his cultivation improved, he gradually discovered that the Danfang in this realm actually had many drawbacks, such as the high proportion of gold and stone, and the consumption of true qi refining was large.
"Twenty-eight more phoenix stones, these pill stones with better medicinal use may be able to have better effects and increase more lifespan." Xu Xuan felt more and more that the original refining technique was too tyrannical.
In the mirror realm, I don't know how many people were angry with him for doing this.
With a pinch, he walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, Li Changsheng commanded the craftsmen to carry out the construction.
Bury jade, stone pillars, and so on according to the drawings.
This is the construction blueprint of the Chillong Hundred Foot Cliff, as well as the prototype of the formation of the Iron Bamboo Forest.
Where the roots of the trees are all over the place, the formation can operate without relying on the aura, which is the wonderful use of the earth qi.
Just as flowing water has no aura, it can also gurgle and flow; Mountains can stand for thousands of years without aura.
Set up two formations, you can keep the peace of the cave forever.
Not far away, Gu Yunsuo, Shanke and Li Jianxing were chatting.
"Heavenly Master!"
When everyone touched Xu Xuan, they stepped forward and saluted.
"Excuse me, immortality, what's the situation on the secular side?" Xu Xuan asked.
"Fortunately, the world is completely settled, the national strength has risen sharply, the steam engine has also been studied, the railroad is currently being laid, and there are more powerful muskets, and the imperial army is currently expanding overseas."
Li Changsheng said about his achievements one by one.
Hearing that the steam engine was built, Xu Xuan lost his mind for a moment.
Not only has the era of warriors changed, but so has the era of monks.
With the advent of the steam and industrial age, productivity has increased, and more and more powerful weapons have appeared.
"Firmly grasp the power of the regime, and the insect cultivators around the White Emperor Sect must also be armed with guns, so that they can be safe."
Of course, the most important thing is to improve one's cultivation.
Ten days later, the two circles were built.
The chisel dragon hundred-foot cliff coupled with the iron bamboo array, the Wutong Cave Mansion disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
Judging from the technology of later generations, even if this place is scanned by satellite, nothing abnormal will be found.
Spring goes to autumn, Xu Xuan retreats and cultivates.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan and the others in the Mirror Realm found a stronger prescription for Qi cultivation - Hundred Refining True Fire Pill, the main material of the pill is a true fire fruit similar to a tomato, and the surface of this fruit burns flames, and no water can extinguish it.
In the Wutong Cave, the fire in front of Xu Xuan was burning, and the real fire fruit was planted around the mansion, and the red fire light illuminated the four directions.
"The new elixir has begun."
Xu Xuan's alchemy talent is very poor, and the success rate is outrageously low, but he has endless resources and can be made at will.
All the resources of the whole of China and the surrounding vassal states are used for their own use.
The mines in that area of Mobei alone are enough to use themselves for dozens or hundreds of years, not to mention Dongying, Australia, and the Americas. If this kind of place is not opened up now, it will definitely be used for itself in the future.
The only thing that limits oneself is the number of True Fire Fruits.
But this is very simple, the real fire fruit is the final process, first practice the front and then say, and then add the phoenix stone.
"Let's practice!!"
Bang!
Fail!
Bang!
Failed again!
Horse-drawn carriages pulled goods up the hill one by one.
……
There is no sun or moon in the cave.
Spring goes to autumn, snow drifts in the north, and thousands of miles of ice are frozen.
The Jungnam Mountains are covered with a faint silver veil.
The sycamore tree becomes golden yellow, but the leaves just don't fall off.
Inside the cave.
Xu Xuan sat cross-legged, his skin as white as jade, and his aura was dense.
Long...... Xu Xuan opened his eyes, and his purple eyes flashed.
"Whew!! The second layer of Qi training!! ”
Xu Xuanchang exhaled, and his body was full of true qi.
Looking at the spirit stone again, it has risen to six hundred over the years, and this is still after deducting the used.
"Go out and have a look." Xu Xuan stood up and loosened his muscles.
The hand pinched the fingers, and the figure appeared in the outside world.
Outside, covered in silver, the bamboo forest is not afraid of the cold and grows in a way that defies the season.
Walking out of the iron bamboo forest, the outside world is white, and there are palaces several miles away.
Xu Xuan walked out of the valley, and the houses of the valley Guyunsu and the mountain guests were gone, and it was estimated that they had moved outside to enjoy life.
"Meet the Celestial Master!!" When the disciple he didn't know saw Xu Xuan, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost, and he immediately ran away after saying hello, and Xu Xuan was speechless for a while.
Soon, a middle-aged man came running briskly.
"Immortality? Are you so old? Xu Xuan was surprised.
"It's been ten years, and the disciple is not as good as the Heavenly Master." Li Changsheng smiled bitterly and said that after planting worms, he could live to be a hundred years old, but it was still shorter than the Heavenly Master, at least the Heavenly Master did not look old.
"Ten years? What about them? Xu Xuan asked.
"There!" Li Changsheng pointed to the two tombs.
"Why didn't you call me?"
There is a big bell on the mountain, ordinary people can't ring it, they must be ringed by insect cultivators, at this time Xu Xuan will hear it, and then temporarily go out.
"I told them, and they won't let me bother you."
"Okay......" Xu Xuan put a stick of incense on the two, and Li Changsheng followed Xu Xuan and told him about what had happened over the years.
"Leopold I of the Holy Roman Empire has sent people, they have unified the HRE, and they are currently competing for hegemony with France and Britain in Europe, I sent more White Emperor disciples over, and he sent a lot of supplies."
"Yongli was the king in Dongying, Master (Li Jianxing) went back to Changsha to retire, Chongzhen died of illness in Purple Mountain a few years ago, and asked me to tell you before he died, he thanked you very much, it was you who made him live a wonderful life in the second half of his life."
Chongzhen has been the emperor for more than ten years, and the king of Yueyang for more than 20 years in the second half of his life.
Compared with the other children of the Zhu family who were killed, he was already very happy.
"The first railway from Chang'an to Zhongjing was completed last month, and many Siamese Jiaozhi slaves were used."
In the past ten years, the disciples of the White Emperor Sect have fought on all sides, and firearms have made their lethality even more terrifying, especially at sea, and they have continuously fought with countries such as Shuangya and Great Britain, and they have been terrified.
Maritime trade gradually became prosperous.
Xu Yong was born in a merchant family, and he attached great importance to tax collection, and did not repeat the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty.
"The imperial examination has also been changed in recent years, with a lot of subjects and royal colleges."
The birth of industry was accompanied by dozens of times more jobs, and the readers of the old era did not immediately become rich after reading the books of sages, and many people began to gradually get in touch with new things.
"Okay, now Shenzhou should be the number one power in the world, right?"
Whether on land or at sea, they all win with crushing power.
"Yes."
After some inquiry, Xu Xuan left, and before leaving, he told him that if those old acquaintances were about to leave, he must inform himself.
This may be the last time I see them, and Xu Xuan doesn't want to miss it.
Wutong Cave Sky, full of true qi, the whole person's state has become excellent.
Xu Xuan sensed the mirror, and his own information appeared on it.
Name: Xuan Xu
Lifespan: 60/210
Realm: The second layer of qi training, pure body
Exercises: Jin Guan Yu Lock Qing Jing Jue (Dacheng 78%)
Spells: True Fire Pill (Dacheng 68%), Alien Spell (Consummation), Flying Cloud Mantra (Consummation), Wind Summoning (Consummation), Alchemy (Introductory 63%), Golden Light Mantra (Dacheng 38%)......
Sure enough, ten years have passed, and Xu Xuan is now a sixty-year-old man, no wonder the world is changing so fast.
"The Qingjing Jue is about to be consummated, because of the Phoenix Stone, the upper limit of lifespan has risen by twenty years."
This made Xu Xuan more satisfied, there were a total of twenty-eight phoenix stones, and he used twelve of them, which increased his life span by twenty years, and it may rise a lot in the future.
"Phoenix ......"
Xu Xuan speculated that the cultivation path of this world may have originated from this mysterious phoenix, and the aura may have been brought by the phoenix.
Fengming Qishan led to the revitalization of Bangzhou, and the monks cultivated with the aura on the phoenix stone, and the family bi was watered by the essence blood of the phoenix, and the double pupils may be the eyes of the phoenix, as for the mirror, it is estimated that it is also related to the phoenix.
The reason why the phoenix stone has increased its lifespan is estimated to be too rare, and this kind of thing is also the top level in the mirror realm.
Don't look at the dragons and phoenixes in the mirror realm all day long, in fact, the so-called dragons and phoenixes are just branches with a trace of related blood.
"Be sure to get the ...... of the double pupils"
Xu Xuan thought to himself.
He wanted to see what the legendary incredible power really was.
Before that, it's better to cultivate first.
The increase in his lifespan made his tense heart relax.
I can live for another hundred and fifty years, which is a little more abundant.
Hold on to the altar and gather your mind.
Knock knock!
Half a year later, the bell rang outside, indicating that something urgent had happened.
Xu Xuan went out, and Li Changsheng hurried over and said, "There is news from Zhongjing that the Emperor Taishang died last month. ”
"What?" Xu Xuan was surprised.
"The number of emperors has arrived, and the immortal died in his sleep, His Majesty the Emperor may have been too sad, and he has also entered the hospital, Heavenly Master, the special train back to Beijing is ready."
