109. The Divine Firmament Sect's Present-Day Branch
Xu Yan couldn't help but smile wryly: "Master, how easy is it to learn weapon forging?"
Master Cheng spoke earnestly: "Mo Ting, your cultivation time is too short, and your opportunities are too good, so although your progress is fast, your foundation is not solid. If it were just Qi Refining, that would be fine, but now that you have already established your foundation, and you want to break through to the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even higher realms in the future, you cannot neglect any of these: pills, talismans, artifacts, and formations. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Yan was taken aback. Looking at his master's serious face, he solemnly cupped his hands in a salute and said, "Your disciple will remember!"
Master Cheng sighed, his tone wistful: "Alas, I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Apart from these principles, there is nothing else I can teach you."
Xu Yan quickly tried to calm things down, and Zhang San also chimed in with a few words, finally dispelling the oppressive atmosphere.
Master Cheng took Xu Yan to the experimental field and used various instruments he couldn't name to conduct a comprehensive test on Xu Yan. He also made him use all kinds of spells, such as Palm Thunder and Finger Flicking Thunder.
Although the sound and light effects of magic are far inferior to those in the world of cultivation, its power has not decreased by much.
Xu Yan was surprised, but Master Cheng and Zhang San looked completely at ease.
Another unusual thing is that when casting spells, although a lot of true energy is consumed, very little is dissipated, as if there is some kind of restriction on spiritual energy in the mortal world.
I only learned from Zhang San later that the Special Security Bureau had discovered this phenomenon in their experiments long ago. The reason for it is still unclear, but it has a very important impact on various experiments targeting spiritual energy and its future applications.
The magic was secondary; Xu Yan was most concerned about the level of his own power, and as a result, he directly destroyed the equipment.
Zhang San's jaw almost dislocated.
Goodness, that equipment is designed to withstand 20 tons, and with appropriate redundancy, it can easily reach 25 tons.
Is this even human? It's more like a human crane!
Xu Yan hadn't expected this outcome. After staring at Zhang San for a while, he finally managed to stammer, "Is there something wrong with your equipment?"
Zhang San didn't want to talk to him; it was too discouraging.
But Xu Yan had no intention of letting him off the hook, and asked him again if he had achieved anything in his Mang Niu Jin cultivation.
The feedback was positive; the four people who were allowed to practice the Wild Bull Strength all showed significant improvement in their physical fitness. However, although this technique was not mainstream, it still required a supply of spiritual energy to practice.
In the present world, spiritual energy can only be supplied through jade incantations.
The Special Security Bureau originally planned for twelve people, but the Jade Scripture was too precious, so the number was eventually reduced to four.
Xu Yan suddenly looked at Master Cheng and asked out of the blue, "Master, do you want to move the sect to the mortal world?"
Zhang San: ? ? ?
Master Cheng immediately shook his head: "This place has no spiritual energy whatsoever..."
"But there's electricity!" Xu Yan's eyes gleamed. "If the Thunder Control Technique doesn't work, isn't there the Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique?"
Master Cheng disagreed even more: "Body tempering is just a minor practice..."
"Both the Great Path and the Lesser Path are techniques of our Shenxiao Sect. I think you should consider this matter carefully!" Xu Yan suggested very seriously.
Master Cheng sighed, "Mo Ting, although the Divine Thunder Body Forging Technique is a body forging technique, its foundation is the True Technique of Controlling Thunder. Directly using electricity probably won't work."
"How will we know if it works or not if we don't try?" Xu Yan gave Zhang San a meaningful look.
The number of time travel incidents is increasing, and a few abnormal events have already occurred. If it weren't for the Special Security Bureau's all-out efforts to suppress them, it would probably have already ignited public opinion.
As the number of unusual events gradually increases, they will eventually exceed the Special Security Bureau's ability to suppress them.
Relying solely on external forces like Xu Yan is insufficient to promptly address unusual events. While cultivating one's own formidable strength may not be the most urgent task, it is certainly necessary.
It's hard to say how effective the "Raging Bull Strength" is, but it's definitely not suitable for the current environment.
The Divine Thunder Body Forging Technique is different; it's practically tailor-made for the Special Security Bureau. In another world, Xu Yan's biggest fear is problems in the real world. A stable real world is the foundation for his confidence to conquer the other world!
Receiving a look from Xu Yan, Zhang San hurriedly started to chime in.
The gist of it is that the Divine Firmament Sect's mountain gate has been destroyed, its disciples scattered, and it is unknown when the mountain gate can be rebuilt. If the Divine Thunder Body Forging Technique is passed down in the present world, it is equivalent to leaving a branch. If there are suitable talents, they can be brought back to the cultivation world in the future to become the foundation for rebuilding the Divine Firmament Sect.
That last sentence deeply moved Master Cheng.
However, the old Taoist priest also had his own principles: it was acceptable to rebuild the sect and for the disciples to serve the Special Security Bureau, but first and foremost, they had to be disciples of the Shenxiao Sect and formally join the Shenxiao Sect before becoming employees of the Special Security Bureau. When the cultivation world needed support, they had to provide it unconditionally.
Zhang San didn't even need to ask Director Zou for permission; he agreed without hesitation.
Just kidding, this kind of good thing is hard to find even with a lantern, why hesitate?
Even if the Taoist priest didn't mention it, does that mean the Special Security Bureau wouldn't support Xu Yan when he needs it?
Master Cheng knew very well that his demands wouldn't have much of an impact on the Special Security Bureau, but it was better to have something to say beforehand than nothing at all.
His demands weren't high; he just wanted the Special Security Bureau to hand over some of the personnel they had trained to Xu Yan.
In conclusion, although the three had different thoughts, their goals were similar, so reaching a consensus was to be expected.
Zhang San immediately reported this news to Director Zou.
Director Zou was completely stunned. He wanted to report it immediately, but he suppressed his impulse.
It's still far from certain; let's figure out first whether this technique can be practiced in the modern world before reporting it.
Without hesitation, he ordered the selection of a group of personnel from within the Special Security Bureau to be on standby.
Meanwhile, the research team immediately contacted Master Cheng to discuss the conditions required for cultivating the Divine Thunder Body Forging Technique.
Master Cheng bluntly stated, "Forget about Thunderous True Essence; let's try using electricity instead."
Everyone knows that if they can't directly replace it with electricity, they can only go back to the old path of supplying spiritual energy with spiritual techniques.
Although the Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique is definitely much stronger than the Wild Bull Strength, how many spiritual techniques has the Special Security Bureau stored up in total?
Sufficient experimentation and sufficient practice are two completely different concepts!
After a series of preparations, the experiment of cultivating the Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique using low-voltage electricity officially began.
Everyone had high hopes for this experiment, but the final result was a huge disappointment.
It's not that there's been no progress at all, but the results have been very limited.
However, Master Cheng thought differently. He believed that the poor results were due to the insufficient qualifications of the trainees participating in the experiment. They needed to have the aptitude and physical constitution suitable for cultivating thunder magic.
Director Zou was scratching his head in an unusually difficult way.
He has the manpower; even if the Special Security Bureau can't help, he can ask the military for help.
With the organizational capabilities mentioned above, even if they were to open a large-scale open audition to the public, it wouldn't be a problem.
But how do you know if you're suitable to cultivate thunder magic?
