Engraving Knife? Dip Pen? Weapon?
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The market in Holy Soul Village has ended.
The arrival of New Year's Eve filled the entire Holy Soul Village with joy, and every household offered their best wishes for the coming year.
Tang San and Xiao Wu naturally joined Zhou Qing in preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and spent the lively New Year's Eve together at Zhou Qing's home.
"Give."
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Qing took out two gifts from his Storage Soul Tool and handed them to Tang San and Xiao Wu respectively.
Xiao Wu immediately opened the box and found a pink Belt inside. She couldn't wait to take it out, put it on her waist, and pulled off the old Belt that was originally on her Waist Pouch: "Not bad, this Belt is very pretty. I really like this New Year Gift."
The gift Tang San received was a book, "Scientific Experimentation Method," personally written by Zhou Qing.
As the name suggests, it refers to the scientific exploration methods of collecting, analyzing, organizing, summarizing, and conducting research, which were summarized and derived from previous lives.
"This is!"
Tang San opened the book, and the first page described the steps involved in studying a subject or a new thing.
The first step is to determine the research direction.
This requires consideration of the research's novelty, feasibility, promotional value, cost, and influencing factors.
The second step is to determine specific research topics through methods such as reviewing materials, conducting field investigations, and interviewing.
The third step is to design the experimental plan: time, equipment, personnel, and required data—the more information you have, the better, and you should establish corresponding recording methods and hypothesize the conclusions.
Furthermore, it is also necessary to control a single variable.
The fourth step is to strictly follow the relevant experimental requirements when conducting the experiment, record the data accurately, and record any problems that occur. No detail should be missed, otherwise the answer obtained may be completely wrong and have little reference value.
The fifth step is to analyze and organize the data.
The sixth step is to draw conclusions, reflect on the shortcomings of the experimental process, and identify areas for further exploration.
This method was truly an eye-opener for Tang San.
In the past, the Tang Sect relied on generations of people to experiment with and accumulate experience in everything from poisons and Hidden Weapon to internal martial arts techniques, gradually improving them over time.
But if we were to conduct experiments in this manner, how many generations of effort would be saved?
That's incredible!
"Qing Ge, how exactly is your head shaped?" Tang San murmured.
"Don't be so surprised. In fact, generations of people have been doing these things, but they mostly passed them down orally without specific theoretical guidance. They couldn't record, compare, and contrast them in such a structured way, so their efficiency was very low," Zhou Qing said with a smile. "I hope that the theoretical guidance of this 'Scientific Experimentation Method' will be helpful for your future plant cultivation and Soul Guidance Weapon manufacturing."
"It's more than just helpful! It's an absolute lifesaver!" Tang San exclaimed with delight. Although this "Scientific Experimentation Method" wasn't some kind of divine skill manual, it was an invaluable treasure for someone like him who could immerse himself in the research of hidden Hidden Weapon and Soul Tool. It was even more valuable than the "Mysterious Heaven Skill"!
"That's really exaggerated?"
Xiao Wu leaned closer. Although she recognized the characters on it, she didn't quite understand them when put together.
She has never had much interest in research.
On the contrary--
Fighting and battling are what she loves most.
Therefore, after learning about Zhou Qing and Tang San's dreams, Xiao Wu had already decided that she would become their female general in the future, the kind who would be invincible in every battle!
Zhou Qing was happy to see this.
Tang San carefully placed the "Scientific Experimentation Method" into a single jade stone belonging to the Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers, and then took out a precious sword.
"Qing Ge, this is a gift for you!"
This sword is entirely bright silver, with various black patterns outlined on its blade, and engraved with Soul Tool Core Formation, with faint energy fluctuations flowing across it.
Below the hilt of the sword, there are two beads, one black and one white, encased in glass and engraved with corresponding Soul Tool Core Formation. The materials are Soul Crystal and Soul Sand, respectively.
"I spent half a year forging the material of this sword using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, and it has already acquired some spirituality. Afterwards, I continuously experimented with the Soul Tool Core Formation on that crystal, and after thousands of studies and combinations related to the five elements of water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, I inscribed it on it."
"In the Yin and Yang Five Elements Eight Trigrams theory of the Mysterious Heaven Skill that I mentioned before, wind and thunder belong to wood, while the sword itself belongs to metal. Therefore, this sword possesses all five elements."
"As for the two beads at the hilt, I have inscribed the Soul Tool Core Formation related to light and darkness into the glass, and filled them with Soul Crystal and Soul Sand."
"Speaking of which, these two things are quite peculiar. The black Soul Sand is actually more affinity-for-light elements, while the white and blue Soul Crystal are more sensitive to dark elements. This can be considered a balance of yin and yang. After being infused with Soul Power, it can circulate the power of light and darkness, enhance its attack, and absorb the energy between heaven and earth to continuously strengthen the sword itself."
"This is absolutely the most outstanding work I have ever created in my life, a sword that can continuously evolve along with its master!"
"Qing Ge, you can't do without a suitable weapon. I hope you can use this sword in the future: to govern with the five elements, to judge with the principles of law and virtue; to open with the principles of yin and yang, to hold with the principles of spring and autumn, and to act with the principles of summer and winter."
Zhou Qing was deeply moved.
Only--
He certainly didn't want to become the emperor.
"Does this sword have a name?" Xiao Wu asked.
"What do you think of the Son of Heaven Sword?" Tang San asked frankly, stating his thoughts directly.
However, Zhou Qing shook his head. "I like this sword very much, but Emperor... I don't really like this name. It's too far removed from ordinary people. It would be better to call it the Common Red Sword."
Common red.
To achieve change, it is not the work of one person, but requires the joint efforts of everyone.
Red, if it is to change the world, blood must be shed, and the people must also use their own flesh and blood to forge their dignity!
Zhou Qing had already foreseen how many nobles and Soul Master who dared to obstruct him from achieving his ultimate goal would be slain by this Common Red Sword in the future—they would surely be countless lives lost.
Where is my gift?
Xiao Wu was not Transmigrator from the modern era, so she didn't feel much empathy for the name Common Red Sword). She simply reached out her hand to Tang San.
However, Tang San had no intention of preparing a gift for Xiao Wu, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and take out a Soul Tool Engraving Knife that he had made for himself from the Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers.
This carving knife has a Dark Gold handle and a spiral black blade, and is over twelve centimeters long.
"Hairpin?"
Xiao Wu looked at her strangely, "Tang San, isn't this a bit too thick?"
"Uh... actually it's a dip pen." Tang San dared not say that this thing was a carving knife used to carve the Soul Tool Core Formation, so he could only bite the bullet and say that it was a pen. "I hope you can study hard in the future... In addition, because of its sharp bottom, it can also be used as a small awl, and can also be regarded as a self-defense weapon."
