Chapter 166: The Inexpressible Young Palace Master
There must be far more magical herbs in the entire fairy grass garden before their eyes. Xia Zhongnan only revealed a small part of them, which was enough to make Jiao Bohu and the people in the Alchemy Pavilion crazy about it. Even among the alchemists in the entire cultivation world, such a treasure would probably cause a sensation.
After a long while, Jiao Bohu asked in a trembling voice: "Young Palace Master, are these spiritual medicines all given to our Alchemy Pavilion?"
Xia Zhongnan chuckled, holding up a plate of dazzling fairy herbs in his hands, and said, "Since I have taken them out to show you, I will give them to you. But do you know the names of these fairy herbs, their medicinal properties, and how to properly preserve them, or even how to refine them into pills?"
Jiao Bohu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Faced with such a huge amount of magical herbs, he was extremely eager to collect them all. However, when he heard Xia Zhongnan's question, his heart suddenly felt like it was falling into an ice cellar. He only regretted that his cultivation was still shallow. He neither knew the exact names of these magical herbs nor their medicinal properties and the secret methods of preserving their quality.
If the herbs are not properly preserved according to their properties, the properties will be lost over time, and the loss will be incalculable. At this moment, he was speechless and dumbfounded.
Fortunately, Xia Zhongnan's other-dimensional world is an excellent place to collect these magical herbs. The immature alien world lacks various elements, which can protect the medicinal properties of the magical herbs.
However, since Xia Zhongnan has already decided to hand it over to Jiao Bohu and Dan Tang, it means that no matter how much wealth there is, its value can only be truly demonstrated if it is used. Simply accumulating it does not actually have much meaning.
Xia Zhongnan took out a stack of plain white scrolls and said, "You don't need to worry. Since I have shown you these magical herbs, I will naturally tell you in detail the name, medicinal properties and preservation methods of each herb."
As he spoke, he casually plucked a magical herb, and with just a few strokes, he drew the morphological characteristics of the herb on the scroll, then wrote "Yunling Flower", noting that it had the function of conforming to the yin and yang and dispelling old turbidity, and should be stored in a sandalwood box; he took another one, titled "Qianjin Vine", and said that it had a miraculous effect in eliminating corpse poison, but its medicinal properties were strong, and needed to be harmonized with gentle force, so it was suitable to be placed in a red jade.
In this way, Xia Zhongnan picked up the herbs one by one, left their images on the scroll, and marked their names, medicinal properties and other related matters. It only took a moment to complete the record of one herb. The whole process was smooth and there was no pause at all.
In fact, what he did was just to partially copy the precious medicine recipe information given by Bai Ze, but in Jiao Bohu's view, Xia Zhongnan's move was undoubtedly shocking, and the depth of his cultivation was unfathomable.
After a few hours, Xia Zhongnan had made detailed annotations on all the fairy herbs shown, handed them to Jiao Bohu, and reminded him: "I have clearly marked the characteristics of these herbs, and the next thing is up to you. As for what kind of magical elixir can be refined, you still need to explore it yourself according to the marked medicinal properties."
After saying this, Xia Zhongnan stretched lazily and walked out of the room slowly, leaving behind a group of Dantang disciples who were still in shock.
Tu Shanfang'er, who was following closely beside him, couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, you are really amazing. No wonder you have such a clear grasp of the fairy herbs needed for each exotic beast."
When Bai Ze taught Xia Zhongnan the recipe, Tu Shan Fang'er was not present, so she was unaware of it. She mistakenly thought that Xia Zhongnan had understood all this by virtue of his profound cultivation, so she said solemnly: "Without real talent and knowledge, how can you lead the people? There are still many days to come, you will slowly experience it, your elder brother has many more amazing methods!"
Not long after, Xia Zhongnan stepped into the formation hall again. The hall master Lu Mingyuan led all the disciples to respectfully wait for his arrival.
What is very different from Danfeng is that when Zhenfeng was first established, Lu Mingyuan had already taught hundreds of disciples who were proficient in the art of setting up formations, and they had made many outstanding achievements in the major battles of the Thirteen Star War Department.
The formation diagram of the "Ten Directions Blood Evil Soul Sealing Formation" that Lu Mingyuan found from his family inheritance not only made Kou Zhanyong helpless at that time, but also made great contributions to rescuing Xia Zhongnan in the secret realm of the Immortal Mansion.
In view of the fact that time was running out, Xia Zhongnan did not ask too much about the development of Zhenfeng. Instead, he urgently recalled all the people who could be mobilized in Zhenfeng and personally taught them the secrets of the formation.
Because Xia Zhongnan himself could not devote a lot of time and energy to the art of formation, his cultivation was not as profound as Lu Mingyuan's. However, after that, in the three months after returning from the secret passage of the Immortal Mansion, Feng Yunzi, as a grandmaster, gave Xia Zhongnan intensive guidance and training. Now, although Xia Zhongnan's attainments in the art of formation have not yet reached the grandmaster level, he has already stepped into the ranks of masters.
Lu Mingyuan's enlightenment in the art of formations originated from the ancient formation diagrams passed down in his family, and was integrated with the modern mathematical thinking introduced by Xia Zhongnan, making him unique in arranging formations. However, his understanding of the art of breaking formations is relatively lacking, so his cultivation in the art of formations is still not comprehensive.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally difficult for the disciples of Zhenfeng to break through the limitations of their master. On the other hand, Xia Zhongnan had spent the past three months studying the method of breaking the formation, which just happened to fill their shortcomings. Only by integrating the formation and the formation breaking can one go deeper and further in the way of formation.
Feng Yunzi's formation cultivation has undoubtedly reached the level of a grandmaster. He has a far-sighted vision and can often enlighten Xia Zhongnan with just a few words. Now Xia Zhongnan has learned and sorted out some of Feng Yunzi's theories and techniques before passing them on, making the disciples of the formation peak still want more and more, as if intoxicated.
After explaining the Dao of Formation for a whole day at Formation Peak, Xia Zhongnan quietly left. In fact, he had more experience to impart in the past three months, but the knowledge was too complicated and profound, and even Lu Mingyuan found it difficult to understand. Therefore, Xia Zhongnan could only wait for them to digest and absorb the content previously taught before choosing an opportunity to continue teaching.
After spending a day at Danfeng Peak and then lecturing for another day at Zhenfeng Peak, the news that the Young Palace Master personally came to these two halls to teach, and that the disciples of the two halls benefited greatly, had already spread throughout the entire Wentian Immortal Palace.
On the morning of the third day, Xia Zhongnan had just gotten up when he found that Zhao Delin, Zuoqiu Juemin, Qi Lai Fu, Si Zheming and others had already come to his courtyard waiting for him, and Tu Shan Fang'er was busy entertaining the guests.
Seeing them, Xia Zhongnan asked in surprise: "You all came to visit so early, is there something important going on?"
Everyone laughed and said, Zhao Delin replied: "On the first day of the young palace master's return to the sect, he went to Danfeng to give lectures, and the next day he went to Zhenfeng to preach. The two cousins all praised the young palace master as a genius of immortality, allowing them to learn the supreme magic they had longed for. Now that we heard that the young palace master is going to travel far away again tomorrow, the cousins encouraged us to invite you to our hall to walk around, so that everyone can bathe in the wisdom of the young palace master, and can't let Danfeng and Zhenfeng alone dominate!"
Xia Zhongnan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, wondering what on earth was going on? Zuoqiu Juemin was usually in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, so what could he have done in the past? Could it be that he had to formulate a higher standard for law enforcement? ...
Fortunately, Duan Ganbao, the first disciple of the Dark Hall, stayed in Feiyuejian, otherwise the newcomers would have to face his might.
Under the personal invitation of the hall masters of various peaks, especially those who also serve as deputy palace masters, Xia Zhongnan, as the "young palace master", had to visit each peak no matter what to show his care and attention to his fellow brothers.
The first place they visited was the Internal Affairs Peak headed by Qi Lai Fu. This peak was equivalent to the Quartermaster Department in the Thirteenth Army. It was responsible for managing the allocation of cultivation resources and various expenses for cultivators of all levels in the Wentian Palace. At the same time, it received income from branches such as the Foreign Affairs Peak and the Wentian Escort Agency and gathered here.
Xia Zhongnan's mind moved, and with a wave of his hand, 100,000 spirit stones suddenly appeared in the main hall of Neiwu Peak.
Even the disciples and peak masters in the sect, who were well-informed, had never seen such a large amount of spirit stones gathered in one place. They stared at Xia Zhongnan in astonishment, thinking that it was a wise move to invite the young palace master to come this time, which would undoubtedly inject a powerful bloodline of cultivation resources into the Immortal Palace.
But that’s not all. Xia Zhongnan pointed again, and fifty more storage rings were added to the pile of spirit stones.
After the arrangement was completed, Xia Zhongnan said, "These 100,000 spirit stones and 50 storage rings will all be delivered to your Internal Affairs Peak. They are not to be shelved and left to gather dust. Each person above the Hall Master level will receive a storage ring, and those below the Hall Master level will be allocated according to their respective duties. As for the 100,000 spirit stones, take out a portion to distribute to everyone as welfare, and keep the rest as rewards for completing the sect's mission."
Hearing about such abundant cultivation resources, Qi Laifu was so happy that he couldn't hide his smile. He clasped his fists respectfully to Xia Zhongnan in a rare gesture: "The Internal Affairs Peak will definitely follow the orders of the Young Palace Master!"
Next, Xia Zhongnan and his party came to the adjacent Law Enforcement Peak.
Facing the ardent gazes of the people at the Law Enforcement Peak, Xia Zhongnan thought for a moment and said frankly: "My colleagues at the Law Enforcement Peak, the Heavenly Questioning Palace has always had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. The reward for merit has been handed over to the Internal Affairs Peak, and the responsibility of punishing those who have committed mistakes falls on your shoulders. As long as you act in accordance with the sect's rules, the Palace Master and I will be your strongest backing!"
Everyone was laughing and talking, and no one could imagine what other arrangements Xia Zhongnan had.
