Chapter 126
Lin Fan had never tried setting up Spirit Gathering Array with Pseudo Spiritual Stone, and then planting herbs to gradually turn them into 'pseudo-spirit herbs'; it was just a hypothetical idea.
Will it succeed?
He was equally uncertain.
But Lin Fan estimated that the chances of success were quite high.
Because even elixirs vary in quality.
What qualifies as a spiritual medicine? It's certainly not an herb that has developed 'intelligence'. If it truly developed intelligence, it would be far more than just a simple spiritual medicine.
Generally speaking, in the Cultivation World, spiritual herbs are defined as those that, after growing in an area with spiritual energy for a period of time, also contain spiritual energy themselves... these are spiritual herbs.
As for the quantity and efficacy of the medicine, these are the 'key points' for determining its value and rarity.
In other words...
If you set up Spirit Gathering Array with Pseudo Spiritual Stone and plant ordinary medicinal herbs for a period of time to make them contain spiritual energy, then this should also be considered a fake spirit herb, right?
Of course, no matter how good the idea is, it still needs to be put into practice, and that takes time.
Meanwhile, at Bright Moon Peak, at the Saintess Pavilion.
Qi Zixiao glanced around casually and noticed that Lin Fan had already set up Soundproof Barrier, so she picked up the Image Stone on the table.
but...
The golden light shining from behind made her feel somewhat uneasy.
"It's a bit too bright. What did that guy do this time?"
Looking back, Qi Zixiao blinked, but saw nothing.
But... the golden light still seemed to be shining from behind his head.
"Did that guy somehow install a Light Bulb in the back of my head?"
Qi Zixiao was startled. She scanned the area with her Divine Sense and discovered the Merit Golden Ring.
It shone with golden light, not so much that it was hard to look directly at, but it seemed to possess a mysterious and unpredictable power and a majestic Heavenly Might.
"This is???"
"What is that?!"
Qi Zixiao was stunned.
She could sense that this golden ring was extraordinary, extremely extraordinary!
But what exactly is it? She didn't know, couldn't explain it, couldn't articulate it, and couldn't truly grasp its meaning.
"What on earth did that guy do?! Why is there such a terrifying golden ring behind my head? This..."
Taken aback.
The antique bronze mirror at her waist caught Qi Zixiao's attention.
"This is..."
"Sky Gazing Mirror?!?"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Qi Zixiao was completely dumbfounded. Her eyes widened, and her beautiful face was filled with astonishment...
"This, this???"
"Master actually gave him the Sky Gazing Mirror?"
"I..."
Unbelievable!
I was incredibly surprised!
There was also a tiny bit of... jealousy.
This is Sky Gazing Mirror!
It's the Emperor's Guardian Weapon!
Qi Zixiao was quite certain that even if she went to ask for it herself, she would not be able to get it. So why was that guy able to get it?
So, does that mean that guy is the master's Direct Disciple, and I was 'picked up'?!
"..."
I feel terrible!
Qi Zixiao bit her red lips.
Before she transmigrated, she thought that Lin Fan would definitely fail and then behave himself for a while and wouldn't cause any trouble.
But now it seems that guy not only did it, but did it even better than me. He not only got the Sky Gazing Mirror, but also got me this golden ring...
In comparison, I haven't even gotten him to the basics yet!
Hateful!!!
Unwittingly, this Saintess has lost so much?
How am I supposed to pay this back?!
Qi Zixiao was instantly filled with distress.
How am I going to repay all these favors?
Putting everything else aside, the fact that the Sky Gazing Mirror is on him is an immense favor, and an imperial weapon...
Who in the world wouldn't want to possess that?
Besides, that guy even helped me break through to the next level and created this golden ring for me...
"I!!!"
Qi Zixiao bit her lip tightly. "I don't believe I can't pay it back. If I can't even get to the beginner level, I'll just keep breaking through. At worst, I'll help you become an immortal!"
"I refuse to believe it!"
She's starting to get competitive again.
I, Qi Zixiao, the Purple Mansion Saintess, never owe anyone a favor!
Okay... I owe quite a lot for now, but I will pay it back!
After a long while, Qi Zixiao finally calmed down her turbulent emotions and, with a little bit of frustration, started taking Image Recording.
In the Image Recording, my eyes are bright and my eyebrows are dancing with excitement. I'm sitting in my current spot with a radiant smile.
"Your information is very useful. The Sky Gazing Mirror and the Natural Gold have been obtained."
"What?!"
Qi Zixiao was startled again. "Natural Gold..."
"Don't worry, everything was obtained legitimately. Whether it's the Sky Gazing Mirror or the Natural Gold, I acquired them through trading. I also helped your master break through a barrier while I was at it."
"Your current realm seems to be something like Quasi-Emperor? By the way, could you also explain to me what the Sendai realm is, so I don't have to make another trip to the Scripture Pavilion later?"
"Then, when I helped your master break through, I recited the Tao Te Ching once. I don't know how, but merits were bestowed from heaven and gathered into Merit Golden Ring."
"This thing should be pretty powerful, but it's just too conspicuous. I can't seem to turn it off. Why don't you figure out how to turn it off?"
"Heaven-sent merit, Merit Golden Ring?!"
"!!!!"
Qi Zixiao was so shocked she was completely dumbfounded!
"This is actually... Merit Golden Ring???"
"The Tao Te Ching? This..."
"Just how much did that guy do in those three days?!"
Not only that...
The Image Recording wasn't over yet.
Lin Fan continued to ramble on, "Your master said that when someone asks you, you should say that the Tao Te Ching comes from the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven, but the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven has already been taken away by him."
"The Artifact Spirit's name is A Wu. You can call her Sister A'Wu, just like I do. She's usually asleep and probably won't 'wake up' unless there's a big commotion, so I didn't set up any formations to seal her."
"In fact, even if it were truly sealed, it would probably be useless. Our strength is insufficient to seal an imperial weapon, especially one with unparalleled detection capabilities like the Sky Gazing Mirror. It would be too easy for it to penetrate the seal and eavesdrop on our conversation."
"Unless we can get the Sky Gazing Mirror to recognize us as its master, but... our cultivation levels are too far apart, so it's impossible. We can forget about it for now."
"Speaking of which, I think your master is quite a closet pervert. Although she speaks in a cool tone, I have a feeling... she might be peeping at her female disciples while they are bathing."
"It's only because I got the Sky Gazing Mirror that things went smoothly... tsk tsk tsk."
"That guy!"
Qi Zixiao was so angry that she blew her nose, glared, and gritted her teeth.
But then she thought again, and realized that it was really hard to say.
"Speaking of which, with no one around, it seems that no one could possibly know what Master was looking at with the Sky Gazing Mirror..."
"Pah! Master isn't that kind of person!"
She realized what was happening.
Lin Fan continued talking.
"In addition, I used the Sky Gazing Mirror, the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman of the Cultivation World, and many formations to complete the prototype of a ' Cultivation World Internet'."
"Simply put, it means we'll be able to access the internet in the Cultivation World soon. However... it's still in its early stages. I should be able to create Cultivation World version of QQ next time."
"As for now... it's not of much use, you can ignore it for now."
That's all for now, bye!
Qi Zixiao: "..."
The Cultivation World's internet?
She was taken aback, then suddenly remembered her thoughts from a few days ago.
If only the Cultivation World had the internet too!
How long has it been?
I definitely didn't tell that guy this news, but he actually managed to create the internet in the Cultivation World?
This feeling...
Why does it sound like that idiom?
What was it again?
"The wife leads, the husband follows?"
"Pooh!"
"Who said he's married to that guy? Damn it!"
Qi Zixiao gritted her teeth again, feeling deeply hurt.
The proud Saintess's pride nearly crumbled at this moment.
Frustrated, he muttered, "Why is that guy so amazing? It's like nothing can stump him. Compared to him, why do I feel so useless?!"
"Yeah, right!"
She crushed the Image Stone that had already finished playing. "I will not lose!"
What to do?
Qi Zixiao blinked, momentarily at a loss for what to do!
Even though she was now in control of her own body, and this was a cultivation world that she was more familiar with, she still felt lost and helpless.
What should I do?
Cultivation?
I'm not in the mood!
Studying the Divine Sword Control Thunder True Technique? It seems like a pretty good idea, but given my current mood, it's no wonder I can't concentrate.
The major events that have occurred in the past three days are truly shocking and unexpected...
She sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, let's first study whether we can make the Merit Golden Ring disappear. If it's always showing behind our heads, it's too eye-catching and too high-profile."
Qi Zixiao also thought that having a gold ring on the back of her head was... well, you know...
After all, she's not Holy Son.
The Holy Son has always cultivated spells and techniques that are as flashy as possible, and his Flying Boat are also adorned with jewels, as if he wants everyone to know that he is a 'tycoon' and has a very important background.
Qi Zixiao, on the other hand, kept a low profile. Her cultivation techniques and Flying Boat seemed ordinary, but once unleashed, they were terrifyingly powerful.
This is a matter of personal habits and personality, and there is no question of which is stronger or weaker.
The research took almost half a day.
Qi Zixiao finally discovered some patterns, causing the Merit Golden Ring to... dim considerably.
Even she couldn't completely turn off this 'passive effect'; at most, she could only make it very dim, not so glaring, but it was still noticeable at first glance.
"At least it won't be that exaggerated anymore."
"Ugh! It hurts so much!"
She suddenly grabbed her hair and muttered to herself in frustration, "How come that guy even managed to get the Merit Golden Ring!"
"What should I do now?!"
Her Your Highness Saintess is unhappy.
What should I do if I'm unhappy?
Vent!
Splash...
With a wave of his hand, a small pile of Spirit Stone appeared, forming a small mountain on the table.
"No, it's too small and irregular. We need to use Top-Grade Spiritual Stone..."
With another wave of his hand, the Spirit Stone disappeared, and was replaced by a larger, more spiritually potent Top-Grade Spiritual Stone.
Then, he casually picked up a piece, and his True Essence surged forth.
Click click click!
The Spirit Stone developed cracks and then transformed into a cuboid.
Then, the True Essence gathered into a beam and engraved the words on the front.
Ten thousand!
"The back also needs to be dyed, but that's not difficult..."
Qi Zixiao saw this and nodded secretly.
She... needed to vent!
I want to play mahjong!
We're going to crush the noobs!
