53, Jiuhua Mountain Instrument Sect
The crane girl brought back Zhang Tingxuan's reply, and he invited Lin Ning to Jiuhua Mountain for a talk.
Lin Ning immediately set off for Jiuhua Mountain.
Although the crane girl is well-behaved and cute, she is just an ordinary crane. Her speed was too slow compared to the current Lin Ning.
Lin Ning pondered that there would be an opportunity in the future to domesticate the ancient spirit beasts as mounts, just like Master's Liulan and Su Cheng's water-avoiding golden crystal beasts.
She will release the crane girl into the forest, and if she likes, she can live on her own floating island.
He stroked the crane girl's neck, and in exchange for a clear long sound. Lin Ning smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on Jiuhua Mountain not far away.
The Crane Girl carried Lin Ning around the main hall of Jiuhua Mountain, all the way through the huge courtyard group of outer disciples, and flew towards the palace on an independent mountain.
When he was hovering in the sky from afar, Lin Ning had already seen the figure standing under the sculpture of the refining furnace on the white jade square was Zhang Tingxuan.
After landing in the square, Lin Ning patted the crane girl and asked her to play by herself. The crane girl rubbed her palm meekly, and then spread her wings and flew into the mountains.
Lin Ning turned around, and Zhang Tingxuan was catching up.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and Uncle Lin's cultivation has made progress, which is gratifying. ”
Lin Ning looked at Zhang Tingxuan, and when he saw that he swept away the decadence of the last time they met, he knew that he must have studied it. Immediately greeted him.
"How's the research going recently?" Lin Ning said straight to the point.
Zhang Tingxuan waited for Lin Ning to ask this, with a smile between his eyebrows.
"It went well. Thanks to the care of the picture screen girl, there is no shortage of property, so that we can get the results we have today. ”
While speaking, Zhang Tingxuan took Lin Ning into the main hall and walked towards the back of the corridor. Most of the places you pass through are refining rooms with closed doors.
From time to time, you can also see that in the lounge, the refiners are either studying alone or gathering to discuss, and the research atmosphere is strong.
"It's always like this. Noticing Lin Ning's gaze, Zhang Tingxuan explained. "Most of the senior brothers are like no one else when they refine their tools. Fortunately, there are many caves in the back mountain, and most of them are closed for a long time. ”
Lin Ning remembered the several halls standing on their respective hills when he flew over, and asked, "In addition to the Instrument Sect, what other sects are there in Jiuhua Mountain?"
"To the east is Danzong, and to the south is Fuzong. The outer disciples all live in one place and work hard among the various sects. There are also some other more out-of-the-way manufacturing industries, but they are not in Jiuhuashan. ”
The Shangqing Gate will refine the tools, alchemy, and talisman making three major sects are gathered in Jiuhua Mountain, and one is that the fire here is vigorous, which is suitable for opening a furnace. The second is that the territory is vast, and it can accommodate the expanding number of inner and outer disciples. The three have a strong academic atmosphere and can drive each other.
After so many years, the three sects are basically satisfied with this, although there are Taoist literati who are light, and craftsmen are also light. However, the basic principle of Jiuhua Mountain is to speak by facts and to know the truth through practice.
Just like Zhang Tingxuan was looked down upon by the disciples of Jiuhua Mountain, including his master, it was not out of any personal grudge, it was completely because Zhang Tingxuan's obsessed research direction had not produced results for many years.
Now Zhang Tingxuan has taken over Lin Ning's project, with investment and research results. Along the way, Lin Ning saw many disciples who saluted Zhang Tingxuan, and his status returned to the past.
It can be seen that Jiuhua Mountain is realistic and cold, but on the other hand, it also shows its pragmatism and rationality.
Lin Ning followed Zhang Tingxuan to his refining room.
Pushing open the door, Lin Ning nodded, it was very wide, and all kinds of instruments that Lin Ning couldn't understand were placed in an orderly manner. Lin Ning had never seen what the refining room looked like in this era, but Zhang Tingxuan looked very much like a laboratory.
"It's all about manufacturing parts on the outside. Work is on weekdays. Today, when Uncle Lin came, I took the leave of the outer disciples, and the work here was temporarily suspended for half a day. ”
Zhang Tingxuan walked through these instruments and pointed to the two separate fighting rooms at the end of the refining room.
"One of them is a forge room connected to the ground fire. The other room has finished products. Zhang Tingxuan looked at Lin Ning and asked her what she wanted to see first.
"Let's just look at the finished product. ”
Lin Ning didn't have half a bit of research on refining weapons, these questions were still left to professionals, and she only cared about the results.
She believes in Zhang Tingxuan's character, and she doesn't want to worry about whether Zhang Tingxuan spends the money on the place where it should be spent. Lin Ning considers himself a professional shopkeeper, who only controls the overall situation and never mixes in details.
Pushing open the door of the finished showroom, Lin Ning's eyes focused on the two objects placed in the middle, perhaps more appropriately called "machines".
Zhang Tingxuan took a step forward and introduced to Lin Ning:
"These two are finished products. The one on the left can refine the mid-to-high-grade Rejuvenation Pill, and the one on the right can refine the mid-to-high-grade Bigu Dan. In addition, there is also a magic weapon for refining the defilement pill that is being studied. ”
Because when he talked to Lin Ning before, Lin Ning said that he hoped that he would create a magic weapon that mortals could use to refine pills. Therefore, the high-end pill will definitely not succeed, so Zhang Tingxuan first set the goal on the most basic rejuvenation pill and Bigu pill.
The Rejuvenation Pill is a low-level, somewhat similar elixir of panacea. It is commonly used by disciples in the Qi training period and the foundation building period. It can be used for daily cultivation to improve spiritual power, as well as emergency healing and replenishment of spiritual power, which is one of the essential elixirs for home travel.
As the name suggests, Bigu Dan can help monks to Bigu, and they can take it after the Qi training period, until they achieve Jindan, and they don't need to take it. It can maintain the vitality during the Bigu period, and there is no need to consume spiritual power by maintaining vitality. There is no hunger either.
These two pills, as long as they are disciples in the Qi cultivation period and foundation building period who have little wealth, will buy a long-term pill, which can be said to be the two best-selling pills.
"At present, it is only possible to refine one kind of elixir with one magic weapon. The output of such a magic weapon in one day is equivalent to the output of ten skilled alchemists in a month. ”
Zhang Tingxuan's face revealed a little excitement and pride. Lin Ning was also a little surprised by this output efficiency.
However, Lin Ning naturally knew the leap in production capacity brought about by mechanization, so she didn't think this number was incredible.
Lin Ning turned around twice next to the machine and asked Zhang Tingxuan some operating principles.
"As long as you put in a fixed percentage of spirit grass from here, you can completely let go and wait for it to run on its own. ”
"So the preliminary processing of the spirit grass still has to rely on manual labor?" Lin Ning said.
"The spirit herbs used in these two elixirs are nothing precious, and mortals can handle them. ”
Lin Ning nodded when he heard this, and asked again: "How long will it take to make such a magic weapon?"
"Relying on me and ten outer disciples, I can only build one a month, and it is the most troublesome to depict the formation patterns on the parts, and it is easy to activate the formation by charging in the end. Zhang Tingxuan also felt that it was time-consuming and wanted to ask Lin Ning for a solution.
After asking about the specific manufacturing methods of these parts, Lin Ning must have made a calculation in his heart.
