Assembly line alchemy? Nuclear energy cultivation? The foreign teacher team's worldview has been shattered!
"Everyone, please, this way."
Led by Lin Xiyue, Qin Ming, and others, the group walked majestically toward the main building of Taibai Mountain Base.
The building was constructed entirely of high-strength, specialized tempered glass and silver-white metal.
It gleamed in the sunlight, filled with the sci-fi aesthetic of modern industry.
For cultivators accustomed to flying eaves, upturned corners, and carved beams and pillars, this style was undoubtedly extremely novel and impactful.
The group soon arrived in front of the building's main entrance.
There stood a giant sensor glass door, five meters high, crystal clear and smooth as a mirror.
Gu Zhiyun walked at the very front, curious about how to pass through this "transparent wall" and wondering if she needed to blast it open with spiritual power.
However, just as she was two meters away from the door...
"Swish—!"
The giant glass door slid open silently to the sides without any warning!
"Huh?!"
Gu Zhiyun's beautiful eyes widened sharply, her feet halted, and she instantly entered a combat-ready state.
Her Divine Sense scanned the surroundings frantically, but to her horror, she discovered that she hadn't captured even a shred of Spiritual Qi fluctuation!
"What a profound sensing Formation!"
"No Spirit Stone drive, no Spiritual Qi fluctuations, I can't even see the Formation patterns!"
"It was actually able to precisely sense my arrival and open automatically?"
"This... what kind of Realm of attainments in the Dao of Formations is this?!"
Gu Zhiyun couldn't help but exclaim, her face filled with disbelief.
In her view, to achieve such a "moistening things silently" level, the methods of the person who set up the Formation could simply be described as godlike!
At the very least, she absolutely could not drive a Formation without Spiritual Qi!
Watching Gu Zhiyun's startled appearance, Lin Xiyue suppressed her laughter and explained:
"Miss Gu, this isn't a Formation."
"This is called an infrared sensor door, a technological mechanism driven by... uh... a type of energy called 'electricity'."
"Technology?" Gu Zhiyun blinked. Although she didn't understand, she was deeply shocked.
"A mechanism that can be driven without Spiritual Qi?"
"The 'mechanism arts' of this world are actually this advanced?"
She secretly noted down this magical mechanism art, planning to learn more about it when she had time later.
Afterward, they entered the lobby, and the spacious, bright space brightened their eyes once again.
Especially the giant LED screen in the center, spanning dozens of square meters, which was scrolling through a promotional video of Mount Taibai.
The image clarity was extremely high, the colors were vivid, and the people and scenery within were lifelike, as if the real world had been sealed inside.
"This..."
Su Qinghan covered her red lips, looking at the screen in surprise.
"Is this an extremely high-level Recording Stone?"
"The images are so coherent, and they can change continuously... How much Spiritual Qi would it take to maintain this?"
In the Cangxuan Great Realm, although Recording Stones were common, most could only record short and blurry fragments. Where had she ever seen such a "super Recording Stone" with ultra-high definition that could play in an infinite loop?
"Ahem, Sister Su, this is also a technological product, called an LED screen. It's not worth much. If you like it, I can give you a hundred or eighty of them to hang up and play with later."
Lin Xiyue waved her hand generously, then led the still-dazed group to an elevator.
"We are going to the underground core area, we have to take this down."
Lin Xiyue said, pressing the elevator's down button.
"Ding!"
The elevator door opened slowly, revealing the narrow metal cabin inside.
Although the three were a bit hesitant, seeing that Lin Xiyue and the elderly people had all gone in, they bit the bullet and followed.
As the elevator door slowly closed, the cabin began to descend at an extremely fast speed.
The feeling of weightlessness that occurred in that instant made the faces of the three, who were caught off guard, change drastically!
"Clang!"
A crisp sword hum!
Li Fan almost subconsciously drew the iron sword from his back.
His Sword Intent burst forth instantly, his eyes sharp as knives, staring fixedly at the elevator wall!
"There's a trap!"
"This is a gravity Restriction! Someone wants to trap and kill us!"
The Spiritual Qi in his body surged wildly, and he was about to split this iron coffin with one sword strike.
"Don't, don't, don't! Don't do it!"
Lin Xiyue was so scared she quickly pressed down on Li Fan.
"Little Brother Li! Stay calm! Stay calm!"
"This isn't a trap, this is just an elevator! The kind that can fly without Spiritual Qi!"
"If you break it, we'll be stuck in mid-air!"
Hearing this, Li Fan stiffly retracted his sword, but his body remained tense.
Clearly, he was extremely uncomfortable with this method of trapping people in an iron box to move quickly.
Beside him, Su Qinghan's face was also a bit pale, but she was more surprised than anything.
She reached out and gently stroked the cold metal cabin wall, feeling the smooth descent speed.
"There really is no Spiritual Qi fluctuation..."
"Just by relying on Mortal iron mechanisms, it can carry so many people to rise and fall smoothly..."
"The wisdom of Mortals in this world truly cannot be underestimated."
After this "frightening" experience, the elevator finally stopped deep underground.
The door opened, and everyone walked out.
Lin Xiyue led them around a few corners and arrived in front of a huge piece of transparent glass.
"Sister Su, look, this is our Great Xia's current 'Pill Refining Room'."
Upon hearing this, Su Qinghan looked through the glass curiously.
The next second, she was completely stunned.
She saw that in the spacious workshop, there were no Alchemists sitting cross-legged, controlling fire to refine pills as she had imagined.
Instead, there were rows of neat, uniform giant alloy Pill Furnaces flashing with metallic luster.
Countless mechanical arms danced in the air, precisely grabbing medicinal herbs and putting them into the furnaces.
Dense data jumped on the display screens, monitoring temperature, pressure, and time with millisecond precision.
And at the end of the production line, round and plump Medicinal Pills were rolling out like a flowing stream, continuously being automatically bottled and boxed.
"This... is this Alchemy?!"
Su Qinghan's worldview was hit with a huge impact.
No pill fire, no hand Seals, not even a person!
But the quantity of Medicinal Pills produced was so large that it made her scalp tingle!
"This is industrialized assembly line Alchemy." Lin Xiyue introduced proudly.
"Although we can currently only refine these basic Medicinal Pills, and the quality isn't as good as what you refine by hand, Sister Su."
"But the advantage is that the quantity is large and satisfying; even for hundreds of millions of people, we can afford to supply it!"
"Quantity... large... satisfying..."
Su Qinghan murmured to herself, looking at the Medicinal Pill production line that looked like a torrent.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart, but more than that, it was the shock of having opened the door to a new world.
So, Alchemy could be done this way?
No need for talent, no need for hard cultivation; as long as you have this "machine", even a Mortal can perform Alchemy?
"Amazing... truly amazing..." She praised sincerely.
After visiting the Pill Refining Room, Lin Xiyue led the group to another heavily guarded area.
The Nuclear Energy Spiritual Qi Conversion Center!
When Gu Zhiyun walked into the control hall and looked through the huge observation window.
Seeing the Formation Plate slowly rotating in the center of the three Nuclear Reactors.
She was like someone struck by lightning, her mouth wide open, unable to close it for a long time.
"That is... the Formation Plate I refined?!"
She pointed at the huge light wheel, her voice changing pitch.
"That's right, Miss Gu." Lin Xiyue nodded with a smile.
"Look at those three big guys below, those are the most powerful energy cores in our world—Nuclear Reactors."
"We use the terrifying energy produced by this stuff, forcibly pouring it into your Formation Plate, thereby achieving large-scale conversion of Spiritual Qi!"
"Using... that kind of Mortal mechanism... to charge an Imperial-grade Formation?!"
Gu Zhiyun looked at the deep blue energy beam, feeling the terrifying power contained within, and felt a bit dazed.
She finally understood why Lin Mo was so anxious to get this Formation Plate before.
"Genius... this is simply a Genius idea!"
"Converting mundane energy into Spiritual Qi... this is turning waste into treasure, a Heaven-Defying life-changing act!"
"So my Formation Plate could be used this way... I've learned something, truly learned something!"
A fanatical light erupted in Gu Zhiyun's eyes.
At this moment, she developed a keen interest in this system called "science".
Finally, the group left the underground base and arrived at the Martial Arts Arena on the surface.
At this moment, it was afternoon training time.
Captain Chen Gang was leading hundreds of members of the Kunlun Squad in daily training.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The earth-shaking shouts of "kill" resounded through the sky.
Hundreds of soldiers moved in unison, every punch, every kick, carrying a chilling, murderous Aura.
Although they didn't have the grace of flying on swords, nor colorful Spells.
But that iron-blooded will that seemed to be fused into one, that absolute discipline of obeying orders and prohibitions, formed an invisible field that shrouded the entire Martial Arts Arena.
Li Fan carried his iron sword on his back, standing quietly on the sidelines, watching this group of soldiers sweating.
His gaze, from initial indifference, gradually became serious, and finally turned into deep admiration.
"What a fine army of tigers and wolves!"
Li Fan couldn't help but praise aloud.
"Although their cultivation base is low, it can be said they have just entered the door."
"But the Aura of facing death and moving forward that they possess is something I haven't even seen in many Sect Disciples in the Cangxuan Great Realm."
"This kind of will... is even sharper than Sword Intent!"
He turned to look at Lin Xiyue, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
"Is this the soldier of Great Xia?"
"If one day, everyone of them can hold a sharp sword and step into the Sword Dao..."
"Then this will be a terrifying Sword Cultivator army enough to make any Sect tremble!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiyue raised her head proudly: "That goes without saying! They are the most lovable people in our Great Xia!"
Visiting up to this point, the three had completely changed their views on this world, which seemed like a place of the End of Dharma but was actually full of miracles and wisdom.
There was no rich Spiritual Qi here, nor gods and Buddhas in the sky.
But here, there was wisdom capable of changing the world, an unyielding will, and even more so, a spirit called "man can conquer nature"!
"Alright, the tour ends here."
Lin Xiyue looked at the sky, turned around, and showed a bright smile to the three who were still immersed in shock.
"Everyone, to welcome you, the four grandfathers have prepared a banquet."
"Let's chat while we eat. It's a perfect time to discuss the grand teaching plan for the future!"
"Please!"
