"The calamity of alchemy practice cannot be overcome by just thinking about it." Xuan Weizi himself said: "I did walk to the shore of the Sea of Bitterness before, but if I chose to turn back, it would be equivalent to wasting a rare opportunity."
The incarnation blinked in surprise and said: "But the calamity in practice is not something you can't overcome if you don't want to! The fact that you can reach the shore of the bitter sea means that you have transformed yourself enough. If you give up a rare opportunity once, you won't know the next time.
When will it be?
Moreover, the calamity of practice will not wait until you are well prepared. Since it is called calamity, it can be triggered by any form or environment. And it will often appear unexpectedly when your body and mind are the most vulnerable. If not, then
It won’t be called a disaster!”
Xuan Weizi sighed: "Of course I know this, but instead of worrying about when the doom will come, it is better to concentrate on inward observation. There is no use in thinking about some things."
After the incarnation pondered for a moment, he said: "It seems that the plan of those five people against you is also a 'human calamity' in your practice. However, this kind of calamity cannot be solved by killing people, and it is not clear where the calamity of the sea of suffering is.
How will the world change?"
"Since we don't know what the future holds, we should first seek peace and quiet to observe the situation." Xuan Weizi said.
The Avatar shook his head: "You are now at peace. I am the one doing the work."
I handed the mirror back and said with a smile: "At least you still retain the ability to cast psychic powers."
"By the way, how do you deal with the people of the Green Ring after you have made the 'Endless Storm of Revenge' look like this?" the avatar asked.
"In a few days, wait for me to stabilize the altar here." Xuan Weizi said: "This place is different from the Xinggang Altar. In Evergreen City, I can also rely on building artificial water channels in advance and adjusting the gas collecting machine to lay the foundation.
Altar base. And the 'Endless Storm of Vengeance' is too powerful and complicated, even with the help of the arcane matrix of the floating mountain peak, it can only be refined to its current state as much as possible."
Although this cloud sea fairy palace is very different from the storm clouds that spanned dozens of miles, the core is still the "endless revenge storm" launched by the Emerald Ring. It is not based on the astral body and psychic abilities like the Star Gang Altar.
of the altar.
The incarnation smiled and said: "Actually, Nazarui is also an indirect help, allowing you and me to figure out the operation of the arcane matrix on the floating mountain peak without a lot of effort. But I didn't expect that the rune skills of those dwarves,
It can actually control and guide the magical energy pulsating in the earth."
"People have lived in the mountains for generations, and their perception of the pulse of the earth is probably beyond instinct. The rumors of rune skills are derived from the dwarves' observation and understanding of the pulse of the earth." Xuan Weizi said: "What's more,
There are ancient giant relics hidden under the governor's residence. Those dwarf craftsmen were obviously inspired to transform the pulse of the earth into a large-scale arcane matrix, which was connected with the arcane star map outwards, making the entire mountain rise into the air. In comparison,
, I’m afraid I still can’t make this Cloud Sea Immortal Palace come to fruition.”
The avatar looked around: "Although it can float in the sky, the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace is after all a mixture of elemental energy fields, especially the air element and the water element. It relies on the characteristics of the wind and clouds. If there is any floating city selection in the future,
, Yunhai Xiangong is estimated to be among the best."
"The floating city is secondary, but this time I was really inspired by the arcane matrix on the floating mountain peak." Xuan Weizi himself said.
The incarnation asked: "Can the floating city be regarded as secondary? What magic tricks of the immortal family are you going to test again?"
"This time it has nothing to do with cultivation." Xuan Weizi gathered up his long silver hair and asked, "What do you think is the biggest advantage of Prince Auger's floating mountain?"
"Projection of military violence." The incarnation replied: "There is no doubt that the idea of floating mountains is used to ignore the dangers of mountains and rivers, and can carry a large amount of magic weapons and transport military personnel."
"In other words, the floating mountain peak is a transport carrier for energy, matter and people?" Xuan Weizi summarized.
"That's right." The avatar understood in a blink of an eye: "Do you want to create an efficient transportation system?"
Xuan Weizi nodded and said: "The mage used arcane magic to build a communication crystal tower, making the flow of information relatively convenient in this world. However, the transportation of people and materials basically relies on human and animal power. Teleportation spells are not something ordinary people can enjoy.
Yeah, don’t even think about magic ships and the like.”
The Avatar then said: "The cost of building something like a floating city is extremely high. Even the emergence of the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace is highly dependent on the right time and place. It will inevitably only be controlled by a very small number of people who monopolize violence. And the strength of a country, the key point
It lies in the ability to allocate energy, material, information and people. No matter how large the territory is, an area that cannot be actually controlled is no different from a feudal state."
"The system is not imagined out of thin air. It is better to make actual changes and then take advantage of the situation." Xuan Weizi said: "I have a guess that the ancient giants left many 'ladders of ascent' relics in the New World, although most of them have been invalidated.
But the pulse of the earth flows divergently. So can we build a low-intensity but widely-connected altar to provide transportation power?"
The Avatar laughed out loud: "You don't call this an altar, you call it a railway network."
"The world has changed, and there is no need to lay railroad tracks." Xuan Weizi had tied up his long silver hair again and tied it into a loose bun, and then said: "Having seen the methods of dwarves, I was thinking why not
Directly connecting the earth pulses everywhere? In fact, I suspect that the earth pulses themselves are interconnected, and the ancient giants used this to connect the 'ascending ladders' everywhere, so as to achieve continent-scale ritual casting."
"I'm afraid the ancient giants never imagined that the magical miracles they spent so much effort designing and building would actually be used by you as the basis for a major construction project," said the incarnation.
Xuan Weizi himself simply said: "Turning obstacles into pathways and dispatching energy, materials and people in a wider range is called a magical miracle. The so-called benefiting all living beings and illuminating merit is nothing more than this. No matter how high or wonderful the floating city is,
It does not solve the basic necessities of life for most people.”
The incarnation said: "It's hard to say about other people's floating cities, but if the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace wants to make clouds and rain and control the weather, it is probably very convenient, right? This is also the future path you envision for the Green Ring, right?"
"Agricultural production relies on the matching of water, soil, light and heat, and is also the combination of the four elements. The natural magic of the Green Ring is closely related to it. This is the most appropriate development direction." Xuan Weizi said: "I will bring it later.
While the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace is touring the inland and slowly recovering its mana, it is also possible to investigate the pulse of the earth within the Mutual Protection Alliance and prepare for construction as soon as possible."
"By the way, will the Pentagram Tower agree with your approach?" The Avatar asked: "If we really build a railway network, it will probably have an impact on the original commercial routes and urban layout."
Xuan Weizi said: "There are pros and cons, and I will explain to the Missile Queen. Since she has plotted against me, she will have to pay a corresponding price. Since I have been given a reputation, I will make good use of it."
"Then when will you get her into bed?" asked the incarnation.
Xuan Weizi said expressionlessly: "Do you think it's possible? And can such a woman be settled by just getting into bed with her?"
"At least I've got Parina done." The Avatar said with a proud look on his face: "But to make her belly bigger, you still have to do it yourself. When she sees you like this, she will probably want to break your waist!"
…
boom!
A tremor came from the roof of the "Twilight Fairy", and the hotel manager Moyesa hurriedly went to check. He saw a person with his head down, half of his body buried in the soil of the rooftop garden, and his legs were still there kicking the air.
, both embarrassing and funny.
Moyesa saw that the man's clothes looked familiar, and was about to step forward to ask. The man struggled a few times and pulled himself out of the soil. He was the incarnation of Xuan Weizi.
"Do you need to lose your temper? You slapped me down... You are obviously looking forward to it, why are you pretending to be cold and white-haired?"
.
"Your Excellency Olanso? What are you..." Moyesa's cheeks twitched when he saw this situation. Even though he knew that his master had a close relationship with this legendary psychic, he did not dare to ask questions casually.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xuan Weizi patted away the dust and mud and asked casually: "Where is your master? Isn't he back yet?"
Moyesa replied respectfully: "The master has not returned yet, do you need me to contact him?"
"Forget it, there's no news about her, that means it's nothing important." Xuan Weizi waved his hand.
Moyesa followed Xuan Weizi, handed over a wax letter sprayed with perfume, and said: "This is an invitation jointly invited by representatives of seven noble families and sixteen chambers of commerce in New Camelot City to invite you to a banquet."
Xuan Weizi opened it and took a look at it, and said: "I'm really afraid of going to banquets now. The Duke of Dekford's manor, where there was a big banquet last time, turned into the center of the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
These people are really not afraid of death...How many gifts did they give you just to get you to hand this invitation to me?"
Moyesa replied respectfully: "I did send a lot of them. I have sorted them out and handed them over to you for disposal."
"Stop it," Xuan Weizi said, "Leave those given to you to your master, don't give them to me."
"Yes." Moyesa asked with neither sadness nor joy on his face, "Then how do you plan to respond to this invitation?"
Xuan Weizi put his hands behind his hands and sighed: "With Cavendish and his troops watching, let alone this invitation, not even a fly can escape. Prince Auger is testing my attitude."
Moyesa just bowed slightly and did not answer. As a loyal son trained by the Farai family, he knew that it was not his turn to talk about these matters.
"You were worried that the Mutual Protection Alliance would steal business from you, so you didn't ruthlessly confiscate your home? In other words, did you get some information from the empire and want to continue to maintain business and trade while maintaining independence?" Xuan Weizi sneered to himself,
Suddenly he noticed something and said to Moyesa: "Huh? Your master seems to be back. Ask her to come to my room. I will discuss the invitation with her before making a decision."
"Yes." Moyesa hurried downstairs.
Xuan Weizi returned to his guest room and looked at the large and small boxes of various gifts piled around him, from vulgar and straightforward standard gold ingots to various high-quality gemstones, as well as some expensive and rare magic raw materials. Some people even threw their money behind them.
Okay, give the plants and medicinal materials grown into ornamental potted plants directly to Xuan Weizi.
"I've only been back to my hometown for a few days, why is it so full again?" As soon as Parina walked into the door, she saw Xuan Weizi looking left and right with a fist-sized milky white gemstone.
These days, Palina returns to the empire to handle family affairs. With the help of "advanced teleportation", she can travel between the two places easily.
"Forget it, a nobleman even sent his wife and daughter over to ask Moyesa to stop him and persuade him to return." Xuan Weizi said with a smile.
Parina sat next to her and asked with a smile: "Oh? Are the mother and daughter good-looking?"
"It's just normal. If that mother takes off her makeup, she'll probably be an ordinary person. Forget about the daughter, she hasn't opened her body yet, I'm not that kind of pervert." Xuan Weizi leaned on the sofa, put his arms around Parina, and was about to
Play with it up and down.
Parina grabbed Xuan Weizi's hand and stopped him from moving. She asked with a smile: "Is that a beautiful mother-daughter flower, can you accept it?"
"I don't need to act according to ordinary people's aesthetics and desires. Ordinary women are not worth my waste of energy." Xuan Weizi said.
"I heard that you have several women in Evergreen City? And a pair of children?" Palina asked.
Xuan Weizi said: "Yes, is there any problem?"
Palina's smile was unpredictable, but she turned to look at the invitation on the table: "Nothing...heh, these people are in trouble now, how dare they invite you to the banquet?"
"The Russian-Georgian prince feels that these people are still valuable. Their connections with the local people and their business network are important resources for the new country in the future. They cannot just confiscate their homes," Xuan Weizi said.
Palina took out another letter from her exquisite little leather bag: "What a coincidence, several people from the Senate came to our Farai family and said they wanted to cooperate with the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce. This is their purchase deposit."
Xuan Weizi opened the letter, and inside it was a piece of Chamber of Commerce bill made of tough material and a hidden magic emblem. It had a faint aura and was absolutely extraordinary. The amount of money on it was enough to make a high-ranking mage fight for it.
"It's just a bunch of numbers." Xuan Weizi tossed the note aside with a flourish.
"If it had been someone else, I'm sure he was pretending not to care." Palina crossed her arms.
"Money is just a narrow aspect of social operations. There is a lot to be done between money and material production and circulation."
Too much money is just a bunch of numbers, even if it is exchanged for real money, it is just a stone. When incompetent people get this money, the best result is that they will be deceived and spent, and the worst result is that their families are destroyed."
"Are you incompetent?" Parina gently placed her hand on Xuan Weizi's thigh.
Xuan Weizi held Palina's hand and left an invisible talisman on her palm. He said with a smile: "You will be the first person to board the Storm Palace besides me. You can
Verify for yourself whether I am capable or incompetent."
