Chapter 116 Research on the Possibility of Spiritual Rain Transfer
"Fellow Taoist Gu Xun, see you next month!"
"Leader Tian, Fellow Daoist Hua, Fellow Daoist Meng, Old Patriarch Zhou, see you next month!"
After the transaction was completed, Leader Tian and others did not stay, and directly set up a boat to leave.
The journey was very fast, and soon they were several miles away from Lianhu Island.
On the north coast, Chen Guxun once again stared at the flying boat that was leaving quickly, waved his hand to his side, and said, "Let's go, let's go back too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the mist behind him rolled and formed a circular passage filled with mist.
Passing through the passage and stepping on the island again, Chen Gufeng, head of the Miscellaneous Hall, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Nine, the Alliance Leader Tian said just now that they only used a few people who were proficient in [Purification], but we checked, and the inside The standard is very messy, it should have used a dozen people. Brother Gu Ming probably will have a headache for a while."
(Chen Guming, head of the Artifact Refining Pavilion)
"What can be done then?"
Chen Guxun shook his head nonchalantly, "He said that at the beginning, he didn't want to waste time on processing materials, saying that it was the most unskilled process, and it was not worth doing by their craftsmen at all, and that they had to spend all their energy Invest in the research of new instruments and improve the refining technique.
He also agreed to let outsiders handle the materials.
So I think he should have already prepared for this question.
Besides, if you think about it this way, is it true that only by refining these materials with different standards into qualified instruments can they show their high level? "
"Is that right?"
Hearing Brother Jiu's explanation, Chen Gufeng was a little confused.
It is still a good thing to co-author materials of these different standards!
In fact, however, the more standards the material handles, the lower the success rate of the refiner.
This is like a processing factory in modern society. Although the parts are [-]% complete, they are the same, but some are missing a piece here, and some are missing a piece there. The problematic parts are different, which will definitely affect the finished product. The difficulty of processing and the degree of qualification.
The same goes for the weapon refining materials.
Although this batch of materials is indeed up to the standard, some are impure here, and some are flawed there. The difficulty of batch refining is definitely not easy.
Chen Guxun naturally understands the truth, but there are only so many monks in the family, and there are only a dozen or so craftsmen. It is impossible to separate the manpower to specialize in the preliminary processing of materials, so we can only leave this to other people. .
After thinking about it, he continued: "Anyway, when he goes to get the materials from you, you can just say this and keep him without complaint."
"All right!"
Chen Gufeng nodded with a smile.
There are problems with materials of different standards, but if you can solve these problems, won't it show the true level of a weapon refiner?
At least, that's how those casual weapon refiners outside come here, don't they still often produce master refiners.
Therefore, this problem is not a big problem at all, and it can be overcome.
After comforting themselves, several people boarded the airship and flew straight to the Lotus Mountain in the center of the island.
It's just that when they returned to the main square, they ran into members of the Wang clan who also completed the herbal medicine transaction.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sent other people to complete the material distribution, and Wang Zhongtai, Chen Guxun's uncle and nephew found a place to chat casually.
"Gu Xun, how many groups of you are left here to comprehend spells?"
"There are not many groups left. Except for Qingxuan and the others, only Changsheng and Changhui are left, as well as the talisman maker and the hunting team. About... seven or eight groups! Not many!"
"Hey! It's almost the same!"
Wang Zhongtai shook his originally thought that the Chen family, where the secrets were hidden, would be better, but it turned out that there were not many left.
Except for those talisman makers and hunting teams who were planning to rely on spells to improve their combat power and skills, everyone else gradually stopped participating after mastering one or two spells.
In this regard, even if Wang Zhongtai tried to dissuade him many times, it was of no avail.
I never thought that the Chen family would do the same.
This made Wang Zhongtai shake his head and sigh frequently.
But at this moment, Chen Guxun's voice came again, "Don't worry, cousin! Anyway, the number of people in our "Tong Taoist Enlightenment Method" has not decreased much.
The formation masters, alchemists, weapon refiners, and spiritual chefs in the clan are all using the "Shen Wu Fa" to improve their skills.
Even the spiritual planters are not idle and are busy reforming various crops all day long.
Few people are lazy!
A while ago, didn’t someone on Lingkong Island cultivate a special dish from lettuce, which is said to taste good raw, did my cousin try it? "
"Oh, you're talking about lettuce, right? I heard that your cousin Yiying made it! You used the breeding book handed down by your Chen family. As for the lettuce, she is very precious. Don't say your cousin has eaten it. I haven't even seen it. By the way, why are you so well informed? Do you know everything?"
"My cousin may not know that this year's Flower Appreciation Conference was personally escorted by your nephew and I."
"So that's the case! I thought you had planted spies in our Lingkong Island again!"
"Look at what you said, what kind of spy do I need? Just because of the relationship between our two families, shouldn't I be able to go to your nephew whenever I want?"
"That's true!"
Wang Zhongtai laughed out loud.
This kid is still so funny after all these years!
But after a moment, he suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that at this flower viewing conference, they became a couple, from Rainbow Island and Li Meng Island. Last year, they didn't become a couple. What do you think about this? look?"
"My fifth uncle and I have also talked about this matter, and we preliminarily believe that this matter is also related to the "Tong Dao Shen Wu Fa."
"Is it related to the "Tongdao Enlightenment Method"?"
Wang Zhongtai was quite surprised. Does this meditation method have any side effects?
In this regard, Chen Guxun nodded, "Well! Doesn't Enlightenment require five people to be together, so we infer that after a long time of getting along day and night, the brother-sister relationship and sisterhood among the clansmen have been greatly strengthened, so we have a good understanding of the relationship between brothers and sisters. The expectations of that matter have been greatly reduced.”
"Can it still be like this?" Wang Zhongtai seemed to have some realization, "In other words, no one is alone anymore, so there is much less need to start a family?"
"That's right! When I didn't realize the Dharma before, although the family members were all relatives, after returning home, apart from the family members, those young people were actually alone. If they are alone, it is easy to think about it, and it is easy to form a family." idea.
But because of the enlightenment method and the company of brothers and sisters, they can't finish talking every day, so how can they have time to think about it?
Of course, we only knew these things after we asked a few people who participated in the 'Flower Appreciation Conference'. "
Wang Zhongtai nodded his head thoughtfully after hearing this.
After a while, he pursed his lips again, and said: "Then we must find a way to solve it, otherwise none of our younger generations will get married, so wouldn't our five families have to die from the world?"
They had just found the magic weapon for a powerful ethnic group, but it turned out that it was not long after the beginning, and they were about to face the problem of having no descendants, which was really too embarrassing.
Regarding this, Chen Guxun didn't worry too much, "Cousin, don't worry! Didn't you become a couple this year? Does this mean that the obstacles to enlightenment are not that big? I believe that in a few years, this situation will be much better !
Let's think about it from another angle, as long as someone gets married, the rest of their small group will soon follow suit, otherwise the topics of discussion will be different. "
"It makes some sense!"
Wang Zhongtai concentrated his attention and sighed.
This problem is indeed not it’s hard to tell how anxious he is.
After all, they are immortal cultivators. Unlike ordinary people, they only have a few years of golden time to get married. From adulthood to sixty, even seventy, eighty, or even one hundred years old, their bodies are basically fine and they can do it. Married and had children.
If that's the case, there's really no need to worry too much.
After all, how old is the group of people who are suitable for marriage, and most of them are only in their early are still a few decades left to work around, so don’t worry!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongtai smiled, and stopped thinking about these troublesome things, but instead remembered an interesting story he had heard a while ago.
"By the way, at the Flower Appreciation Conference, mortals are having a lot of fun!"
Hearing this, Chen Guxun perked up.
"That's not it?
My cousin may have never seen it, or maybe he has never heard of it.
In the past, those young people met to admire flowers, go shopping, or guess lantern riddles, or match poems. In the end, uncle, guess what happened this year...
They actually compared to do the problem! "
"Compared to doing questions?"
"Well, it's better than doing problems! Doing arithmetic problems!
Even when many people went, they brought a large stack of test papers, and when they saw someone they liked, they invited him to do the it is done, we can talk about the next step, or else just skip the talk.
I remember that there was a woman in your Lingkong Island who was quite good in appearance. She said on the spot that she would fall in love with whoever proved the 'Pythagorean Theorem' most perfectly and had the least flaws.
Cousin, you didn't see it at the time. Everyone present was simply confused!
They had just finished taking exams, but when they went on a blind date, they actually had to take exams, too, and they had to take an arithmetic test!
At that time, when many young men heard this, they kept pinching their thighs, blaming themselves for not studying hard. "
"Hahaha! What else is there?"
……
The two chatted and walked, and after a while, they came to an open space in the back mountain.
Here, the two discovered another strange device, a large pool with many thumb-thick copper pipes protruding from it.
Above the pool, a white cloud the same size as the pool was the white clouds, big raindrops pattered the water level in the pool has not improved at all.
Seeing this, the two walked straight along the copper pipe with curiosity.
After descending the mountain, the two met Chen Guteng who was busy holding a copper pipe in a valley.
"Cousin, Ninth Brother. Why are you here?"
"The two of us were wandering on the mountain, and we saw your things, so come and have a look. Guteng, what are you doing?"
Wang Zhongtai was curious as he watched the spiritual water constantly emerging from the copper pipe.
If you want spiritual water, just use a rainfall spell, so why bother with all these twists and raining from the top of the mountain?Irrigate the ground from the bottom of the mountain?There is really no need for you!
Regarding this, Chen Guteng shook the brass pipe in his hand and explained: "Uncle, we are actually conducting an experiment."
"Experiment? What experiment?"
Wang Zhongtai bent down and looked at the copper pipes that kept bubbling water. He really didn't know what kind of experiment this superfluous behavior could be related to.
At the edge of the field, Chen Guteng continued to explain: "Cousin, look, can this pipe directly bring down the rainwater from the mountain and use it for irrigation?"
"Yes! But we have all changed to use spiritual rain, these ordinary rainwater must be useless! As for the spiritual water here, you can just let it rain, why bother."
"My uncle doesn't know something. Although we have the [Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Technique] in the Dacheng Realm and can rain unlimited rain, do we still have to go there personally every time we grow food for mortals?
So we thought, how to let them water and cultivate the land by themselves, we only need to provide spiritual rain and fertilizer. "
"So you have this?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhongtai suddenly became enlightened.
"right!
Our idea is that we rain in one or several fixed places, accumulate spiritual rain, and then transport these spiritual rains through these pipes to mortal cities and mortal farmlands, and then the mortals in the clan use these spiritual rains to Cultivate crops.
In this way, we can not only save trouble, but also allow ordinary people to have a sense of of them are always worried that we will run out of food for no reason, so it is better to let them do it themselves. "
Wang Zhongtai was thoughtful when he heard the words.
Since the new arithmetic was popularized in the clan, he also spent some time in the mortal city of the clan, so he naturally heard these gossips.
Those people are nothing more than worried that the clan will threaten them with food to do something they don't want to do.
Regarding this, Wang Zhongtai laughed it off before.
They also don't think about what they have to gain.
Is it for your money, or for your people?So cautious?
To be honest, if it wasn't for the recent discovery of the intellectual help of mortals, wouldn't the only function of those mortals be to give birth to spiritual roots?Why is it so expensive?
It's just that although he didn't take it seriously, he also understood the other party.
After all, their mortal food comes from the cultivators in the clan, so it is normal to have are always full of insecurities!
After thinking about this, Wang Zhongtai turned around and looked at the several copper pipes extending from the mountain, and asked with concern: "Is the problem solved now?"
"Not yet! Because we have done experiments before, the rainwater from Lingyu can only last for three days at most. After that, it will be the same as ordinary rainwater, without the ripening effect."
"So if you want to maintain the effect, the spiritual rain must be consumed within three days?"
"Yes! In fact, it must be within two days. On the third day, the effect of the spiritual rain is actually very poor."
Seeing his uncle nodding his head to express his understanding, Chen Guteng continued:
"So when we got these copper pipes, we wanted to test how long it would take for the water to flow down from the top of the mountain, and how fast would it flow if it were on flat ground? Could it flow to four mortal cities in two days?
If not, where should the reservoir be placed?
Second, I also want to test how much spiritual rain needs to be poured at least to accelerate the ripening effect?
Before, although Qingxuan also regulated the best effect of spiritual rain to three decimal places, but he also said that it is only the best rainfall for raining all over the world. If it is watering, it must be more detailed.
For example, how much spiritual rain is required for each crop?
How far must it be from its roots, or must it stick to its roots?
Also, will the optimal amount of water change during each growth period of the crops, such as flowering and fruiting?
In short, there are still many, many problems! "
"Okay, then take your time, we are not in a hurry!"
Although Wang Zhongtai who was next to him was dumbfounded by his nephew's eloquent talk, he also knew that it was better to leave these professional issues to professionals for research.
As a layman, he just wanted to watch the excitement.
Next, Wang Zhongtai and Chen Guxun saw that Chen Guteng and his party were busy and orderly, each performing their duties.
Someone measured the flow speed of the spiritual rain in the copper pipe, someone measured the slope of the land, and someone received the spiritual rain from the copper pipe, and then watered the crops in the field drop by drop from all angles, recording the performance of various crops under various conditions. growth status...
In short, they are busy keeping their feet off the ground.
However, Wang Zhongtai watched it with gusto.
Even after the clansmen counted the spiritual materials and medicines, he still looked reluctant to let him go back when they asked him to go back.
"Gu Teng, my cousin told you that when you get this done, the uncle's family will be the first to use it. If Wangyue Island and Rainbow Island come to you, you can say that I, Wang Zhongtai, told them to come. Find me."
"Don't worry, uncle, I will be the first to notify you when the time comes!"
"Okay! Then we can make a deal!"
Watching the Wang clan on Lingkong Island gradually go away, the brothers Chen Guxun and Chen Guteng looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
After a long time, Chen Guxun suddenly asked his sixteenth brother, "Gu Teng, what you said just now is true. As long as these problems are solved, we can hand over the grain production of mortals to them? "
"Of course it's true! Will I still lie to Brother Jiu and my cousin?"
"Then why have you never heard of it?"
Just finished speaking, before the sixteenth brother could explain, Chen Guxun waved his hand again, "Forget it! I don't understand your professional questions. I still don't need to know! By the way, you know that Qingxuan and the others have recently Are you researching something?"
"They..."
Chen Guteng didn't care about this either. While recording the data in his hand, he replied: "Recently, they are studying how to make crops grow in water."
"Grow in water?"
Chen Guxun was stunned, "How do they grow in water? Aren't our crops all native to the country?"
"I don't know either! Anyway, it has rarely been successful. Even if it germinates successfully, it will not bloom and bear fruit. But it can indeed grow in water. This is for sure! I have seen it with my own eyes."
"Anything else?"
Chen Guxun felt that his three views had been subverted.
Born and raised in the soil, born in the water and grown in the water, isn't this all fixed, isn't it all born like this?
How can it change?Can it still be cultivated?
Is this because he has fallen behind, or has the world changed?
