Chapter 1185: Chapter 397: Dragon Tiger Mountain Outcast (Double Chapter)

Shen Qubing and Jin Daowu rushed to the scene.

Apart from Tang Xiaotang, there were other members of the Taoist sect present.

Leading them was a young Taoist in a purple robe, the High Merit Elder Lin Shan from the Celestial Master Mansion.

Lin Shan, accompanied by some disciples from the Celestial Master Mansion, stood behind Tang Xiaotang, awaiting orders, and beside him were Qin Baisheng and other disciples from Mount Shu.

At this moment, Qin Baisheng and others, along with Nie Fang from Mystery Observatory, were deploying a large number of magic artifacts around the twisted void.

These artifacts appeared uniform in appearance, almost identical, each being a small-sized pill furnace.

The pill furnaces were not filled with the raw materials for alchemy, but upon contacting the black fog generated by the Earth Sea crevices, the furnace fire automatically lit up.

Jin Daowu looked curiously at those numerous pill furnaces that seemed like a set: "General, these are..."

Shen Qubing found them equally fascinating: "I heard it’s the idea of Celestial Master Lei. The Celestial Master Mansion, Mount Shu Sect, and Mystery Observatory, under his guidance, specifically refined batches of magic artifacts to counter the black fog miasma of the Earth Sea."

He gestured to Jin Daowu: "They’re still continuously refining, more artifacts will be sent over. Yes, Celestial Master Lei refers to these as parts, parts that are directly assembled into more pill furnaces on the Guicang side, then transported into the Earth Sea. I only heard of it before, but this trip marks witnessing it first hand."

Upon hearing this, Jin Daowu saw that those pill furnaces, similar in shape and appearance, were not a homogeneous casting, but clearly consisted of about seven or eight small components, categorized and transported in large quantities.

Lin Shan, Nie Fang, and Qin Baisheng were directing their respective disciples to continuously assemble these parts into individual small pill furnaces.

Strictly speaking, from the perspective of Upper Three Heavens cultivators, the effect of these pill furnaces individually was limited.

Furthermore, their function was relatively singular, specifically targeting the black fog of the Earth Sea.

However, with the overall quantity of pill furnaces increasing, uniformly organized, as if scattered soldiers forming a military formation, the many pill furnaces resonate, at this moment it seems no longer a simple addition.

Thus, the final momentum produced was startling.

In this area of Guicang, the void twisted, and the Earth Sea crevice had already appeared.

Yet the black fog not only failed to spread but was continuously dissipated by the formation of hundreds of pill furnaces.

Eventually, only a crimson crevice remained, with hardly any black fog visible.

Although Jin Daowu is a martial Tao cultivator, reaching the Upper Three Heavens cultivation realm, his insight was sharp.

What particularly caught his attention was that to manage so many magic artifact pill furnaces, only disciples from several Middle Three Heavens or even Lower Three Heavens sects were needed.

Not to mention State Master Tang Xiaotang, even Lin Shan and Nie Fang were merely coordinating and directing, monitoring for any accidents, but not directly handling them.

Thus, although the number of personnel required was considerable, the number of magic artifacts needed was substantial, yet with a considerable number of Middle Three Heavens and Lower Three Heavens cultivators, it’s possible to manage these artifacts to counteract the Earth Sea’s black fog.

At least at this moment, low-realm cultivators, through their numbers, can achieve what was traditionally thought achievable only by high-realm cultivators.

Being in the army, Jin Daowu was exceptionally sensitive to this change.

Indeed, the current situation differs from direct combat; those pill furnace-shaped artifacts don’t possess the functionality to directly kill enemies.

But what about the future?

The more Jin Daowu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

From his observation, the greatest limitation in refining so many magic artifacts likely lies in various raw materials.

With sufficient raw materials, the scale could be further expanded.

It’s said that with a massive pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even pigs can fly.

But this is ultimately an exaggerated statement.

Truly reaching top-tier cultivation realms ultimately relates closely to the cultivator’s personal qualities.

Yet with the Taoist sect’s artifact refining strategy, a vast investment of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures must yield corresponding output and returns.

If the threshold for refining and using these artifacts is further lowered, relative to the massive population base, the final result could very well be revolutionary...

Jin Daowu was momentarily unable to think deeply.

Merely contemplating briefly, he already felt his mind racing and dazzled.

He shook his head, his gaze eventually falling on Tang Xiaotang, Lin Shan, and other Celestial Master Mansion cultivators, but his thoughts went to that successor of Tang Xiaotang, the contemporary Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Why would Celestial Master Lei have such a notion?

From what Jin Daowu heard, although there’s no clear confirmation, Celestial Master Lei may have improved his innate attributes postnatally.

Currently speaking, Celestial Master Lei is undoubtedly among the top cultivation geniuses of the Great Tang Imperial Dynasty.

Yet he had such a sudden inspiration...

In Guicang, in the distance, Zhang Hui and Meng Shaojie were also gazing towards Tang Xiaotang’s group.

"Qingyan, I’m telling you, once you have the chance and return to the Great Tang that side, you must visit Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Celestial Master Mansion, Mystery Observatory, and Mount Shu to observe and explore."

Zhang Hui was currently enthusiastic, gesturing to Meng Shaojie beside him: "It’s different from when you traveled earlier, truly astounding!"

Meng Shaojie nodded repeatedly: "I have the same idea."

Zhang Hui: "I wonder how it will change in a few years?"

Meng Shaojie: "Won’t you visit National Master Tang, Jingtong?"

Zhang Hui: "National Master Tang knows I’m here. As for meeting, I feel there isn’t enough time..."

Before he finished speaking, golden light that pierced the heavens and earth flashed from afar.

Golden Pure Yang True Fire blazed around Tang Xiaotang, already starting to further widen the Earth Sea crevice.

Void realm twisted exquisitely, making it difficult to fathom.
