I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 172: An Accidentally Weird Invention

"Someone is coming."

Xu Xuanzi shouted.

In a moment, a servant came over and asked, "What do you want, sir?"

Xu Xuanzi asked, "How long have I been in seclusion?"

The servant was stunned.

Is the master in seclusion?

In the past, whenever the master announced that he would go into seclusion, it would last for a few years or even more than ten years, and sometimes even for decades, which was very normal.

This time, in the servants' view, the master just took a short nap at best.

However, since the master asked this, the servant hurriedly said, "My lord, four months have passed since you brought Master Zhong back to Cangfeng."

Only four months?

Xu Xuanzi was stunned.

I didn’t know what to say for a moment!

Isn’t it said that Li Xiao’s disciple only has the qualifications of four spiritual roots?

If it weren't for his magical power "Gluttonous Stomach", he would never be able to catch up with other geniuses in terms of training speed.

Xu Xuanzi was even mentally prepared to wait for Zhong Lixiao for thirty to fifty years, but he never thought that
Xu Xuanzi couldn't help but frown.

As a Yuanying Zhenjun, Xu Xuanzi has lived for a long time and has experienced countless things and met countless geniuses.

Especially in the field of spiritual practice, he has extremely rich experience.

Nowadays, although we are in an era of drastic changes and many old experiences are no longer practical, many summaries that have stood the test of time are still not outdated.

For a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator like Xu Xuanzi, when he accepts a disciple, he can quickly get a rough preview of the disciple's cultivation progress just by looking at his aptitude, fortune, and skills.

Almost everyone has an expectation of how many years it will take, what heights can be reached, and what difficulties will be encountered along the way.

Xu Xuanzi has hardly made any mistakes in these years!

Even if there are occasional deviations, they are generally not too large.

Xu Xuanzi couldn't help but think of the disciple named Song Yue. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the most unexpected disciple among all his disciples.

He is extremely talented and always does things that are unexpected.

But those accidents all have extremely deep roots.

Song Yue has the best luck, the most ideas, and is very adventurous. Therefore, he often gets unexpected opportunities, which allows him to break his psychological expectations time and time again.

He was so happy at that time.
but.

Hey!
Thinking of this, Xu Xuanzi couldn't help feeling sad.

However, it was also because of his beloved disciple Song Yue that Xu Xuanzi learned how to be a better master.

Even because of Song Yue, Xu Xuanzi had a more intuitive and profound understanding of the "variables" that were beyond his expectations.

Xu Xuanzi smiled, but his heart was filled with thoughts.

"Besides the magical power "Gluttonous Stomach", are there any other opportunities? .Yue'er, look, Master has received another extraordinary disciple. But don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again!"

After another round of reminiscing, Xu Xuanzi suddenly thought of something.

For a moment, he even felt like the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining, but that feeling made him feel so absurd!

Xu Xuanzi's face was full of disbelief, and the depths of his eyes were filled with endless thoughts.

"It was such a coincidence that I slept for four months, and when I woke up, my cultivation had improved. Could this all be God's will?"

Xu Xuanzi learned so much from his disciple Song Yue, and had a profound understanding of the word "blessings and fate" far beyond that of ordinary people.

Many things seem to be coincidences, but if you don’t have enough luck, no matter how close you are to them, they may eventually become illusions.

Could it be that the luck and fortune brought by accepting Zhong Lixiao as his disciple alone would be enough to support him in reaching a higher level in his cultivation?

Xu Xuanzi was extremely shocked.

I was simply stunned by his extremely absurd idea!

He is Yuanying Zhenjun, how can he be so childish?

He was so obsessed with this illusory fate that he kept going backwards!
Xu Xuanzi smiled awkwardly.

But the appearance of his beloved disciple Song Yue became clearer and clearer in his mind.

Even many of the experiences and details they had spent together back then began to become clear again bit by bit.

You know, many of these precious memories of the past have been erased little by little over the years.

After a long time.

Xu Xuanzi gave up struggling and said with some sadness, "Yue'er, is this a reminder for me, your teacher?"

After another period of silence, Xu Xuanzi let out a long breath.

"I know, I know, I know what to do!"

Xu Xuanzi rubbed his face vigorously with his wrinkled hands, as if he had dry-cleaned his face after getting up.

Soon, Xu Xuanzi's face returned to its thick and invulnerable look.

Just when Zhong Lixiao was feeling troubled and was planning to attribute everything to enlightenment, he suddenly saw his master Xu Xuanzi descending from the sky on a colorful cloud.

Xu Xuanzi looked Zhong Lixiao up and down and said casually, "You have passed the "Earth Controlling True Method" magic power refinement stage in four months. You are very good. This speed is already quite fast even with the blessing of the fifth-level spiritual eye."

Four months have passed?

Even Zhong Lixiao was very surprised.

In the past, he had secluded himself for longer periods of time, but this time, his concept of time was undoubtedly the most vague.

It was like entering the deepest level of emptiness and silence. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an enlightenment.

What made Zhong Lixiao feel relieved was that his master didn't seem to find this strange.

Should we say he is worthy of being called Yuanying Zhenjun?

Living long means seeing more and seeing more, and you will have seen all kinds of geniuses.

This statement undoubtedly dispelled his concerns!

Especially since the master took the initiative to find an excuse for him, Zhong Lixiao felt like a huge stone had fallen from his heart.

Very relaxing and comfortable!

Zhong Lixiao immediately followed up on his master's words and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to the fifth-level spiritual eye in your cave, the quality of the spiritual energy is so high. If not for this, if I want to successfully pass the "Soil Controlling True Method", I really don't know how long it will take!"

The corners of Xu Xuanzi's mouth twitched slightly.

He was certain that his foolish disciple really was holding a big secret, and had absolutely no idea about his own cultivation speed.

Fortunately, he is now experienced and knows how to get along with this kind of disciples.

Xu Xuanzi sighed, "That's right, back then I didn't have the conditions you have now!"

clam?
Zhong Lixiao was slightly stunned, and for a moment he even felt like he was being attacked by dead memories.

You know, in his previous life, he often heard similar words from his parents.

I haven't heard this for a long time, and when I heard my master mention it suddenly, I felt it was quite familiar.

Xu Xuanzi smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you that in the past four months, I have made some progress. Do you want to see it?"

Zhong Lixiao was surprised.

Looking at the smiling face of Master Xu Xuanzi, which even had a bit of a naughty look on it, Zhong Lixiao felt curious and amused.

He nodded in agreement. Xu Xuanzi laughed happily, like a naughty boy who was encouraged. He asked mysteriously, "Thinking question: What is the most mysterious thing in the world?"

clam?
Zhong Lixiao was a little confused for a moment.

I always feel that this master really has a lot of ideas and his thinking is so jumpy.

What is the most mysterious thing in the world?

Zhong Lixiao thought subconsciously!
In this world of cultivating immortals, the word "Tao" has caused countless great men to study the classics and meditate on it throughout their lives, just trying to explain it in various ways.

But even so, people can only see a small corner like a blind man touching an elephant, but cannot truly understand it.

If he says that "Tao" is the most mysterious, it shouldn't be wrong, right?
but.

Does the master want to test him with this question?
Zhong Lixiao habitually began to think from the other person's perspective.

The master's action was obviously a show-off, and he also deliberately mentioned that his cultivation had improved slightly in the past four months.
Could it be that some important breakthrough was made in the Eight Extremes and Eight Scenic Spots?
Zhong Lixiao looked at the mountains and rivers surrounding the thatched cottage.

Everywhere you look, you can see magnificent sights, and there is a fairy-like atmosphere everywhere.

Everything is so wonderful!

If there is any inconsistency, it is probably that the five elements and five peaks are very real, but the three peaks of "Jiuxiao, Guizang and Wanxiang", which represent heaven, earth and man respectively, are still somewhat illusory.

Could it be that Master’s huge breakthrough was mainly due to his progress in “Wanxiang Peak”, one of the representative areas?

In just a moment, Zhong Lixiao was filled with thoughts.

Subconsciously, I thought of the Floating Cloud Fairy City and the reforms that Master had made there.
Obviously, Floating Cloud Fairy City is essentially the master's exploration of all things in the human world.

What if we say that “human beings” are the most mysterious thing in the world?

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but think of his previous life's explanation and understanding of the human body.

The human body is an extremely sophisticated system and is even known as "the most sophisticated machine in nature."

Take the brain for example, its computing power exceeds even the most sophisticated supercomputers in the world.

If energy consumption is taken into consideration, it can surpass everything else.

In this world, there is also a saying that the human body is an innate Tao body.

For example, when demon beasts cultivate to a high level, they will eventually reach the level of transformation.

Thinking of this, Zhong Lixiao asked uncertainly, "People?"

Now it was Xu Xuanzi's turn to be stunned. He said in disbelief, "I thought you would say 'Tao' or 'Principle'. How did you come up with this?"

Zhong Lixiao was so happy that he was flying. He didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.

He immediately told his master Xu Xuanzi his ideas for solving the problem one by one.

Xu Xuanzi stroked the sparse beard on his chin, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.

"Disciple Li Xiao, you are really smart. Since you have guessed it all correctly, then Master may as well give you a good performance to show you what Master has realized in the past four months."

Although Zhong Lixiao was happy, he was also a little uncertain for a moment.

I don’t know if Master Xu Xuanzi wanted to show off too much, so that no matter what answer he gave, Master would eventually say that his guess was correct.

If it were in the past, Zhong Lixiao might not have been so judgmental.

But after getting to know him for a while, Zhong Lixiao discovered that his master was really thick-skinned.

But I have to admit that it is really interesting to get along with such a shameless master.

Xu Xuanzi suddenly pointed at the lake in front of the thatched cottage from a distance, and then Zhong Lixiao saw an extremely shocking scene.

The lake in front of him suddenly peeled off a layer of water.

It felt like there was an extra mirror in the sky, projecting the inland lake in the land above the earth, the island in the middle of the inland lake, the inland lake in the island in the middle of the lake, the island in the middle of the inland lake, and the spiritual eye in the island in the middle of the lake. All of them were projected into the sky.

Then, this island in the middle of the lake, which is similar to a Russian nesting doll, began to overlap layer by layer.

Eventually, these complex structures, which had undergone layer upon layer of overlap, slowly formed a small ball.

Through the small ball, you can see the pupil, white of the eye, vitreous body and lens
Zhong Lixiao was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao finally understood why his master said that the human body was the most mysterious.

Apart from anything else, the master has actually studied the structure of the eyeball to this level.

One can even use the unique landscape in the cave to rub an eyeball out with one's hands.

Honestly, this is both amazing and terrifying.

The master pinched out an eyeball in front of him. Was this to tell him that the master had seen everything that happened in the past four months?
then.

Zhong Lixiao saw that this "eyeball" that was pinched out by his master bit by bit was refined by him bit by bit, and then became smaller.

Finally, it shrank to the size of a tiny dot.

If Zhong Lixiao had not seen the entire process of his master hand-making the eyeball, he really could not have imagined that all this was actually true.

Then, Zhong Lixiao saw his master take out a mirror and press the refined eyeball into it in front of him.

Perhaps at this point, it becomes much more difficult.

The master opened his mouth and spit out a breath of infant fire. In the weapon refining technique that Zhong Lixiao could not understand at all, the fire was refined and completely turned into a tiny eyeball, which was completely melted into the ancient mirror.

Even from the outside, there is no way to tell that an eyeball had once been melted inside.

Finally, the weapon was refined successfully, and Xu Xuanzi laughed with satisfaction.

Zhong Lixiao immediately congratulated him obediently, "Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master. The treasure refining was successful."

Xu Xuanzi laughed heartily and said, "Did you see it? This is the result of Master's four months of retreat. Master has finally used Taoism to successfully restore the human 'eyes'. In the future, as long as this kind of 'eyes' are refined into various magical instruments, they will be able to see various images in real time like the human body."

Zhong Lixiao was puzzled.

"Hasn't there been this kind of magic before? The ones I know of include the "Mysterious Light Technique" and the "Mirror Technique"."

Xu Xuanzi smiled and said, "How can this be compared? How wonderful are human eyes? When the eyes open and close, that is a scene. As long as a person is not blind, he can see the world in this way since he is born."

"But the 'Mysterious Light Technique' and the 'Mirror Technique' require a long period of study before one can master them."

Hearing this, Zhong Lixiao suddenly realized what an amazing invention this "eye" made by his master was.

He made the threshold for using "Xuan Guang Shu" become almost zero.

Afterwards, the master told Zhong Lixiao that the Five Spirit Mirror in his hand was his highest achievement at the moment.

Very high-level soul beads and spirit stones have been refined into it, in addition to the "Heavenly Beads" that have some calculation functions, and even some learning and deduction abilities.

Now that another eye has been refined into it, the learning ability of this "Five Spirit Mirror" will only become stronger.

It can even be considered as his external eyes and external brain, which can store various images and information.

By giving this mirror to other people to use, they can even share information.

Zhong Lixiao was stunned for a moment, but his expression became more and more strange.

Especially when thinking about the day of the entrance examination, Baiyun Temple used the Five Spirit Mirror to convey the real-time information of the robbers and the candidates to them.
It made Zhong Lixiao’s sense of déjà vu even stronger!
Zhong Lixiao asked strangely, "Master, how did you come up with the idea of inventing such a five-spirit mirror?"

Xu Xuanzi sighed, "Human beings are mysterious and mysterious. They have many faces. It is difficult to know a person's heart even if you know his face. And I want to perfect the 'all things' that represent people. Naturally, I want to know as many people as possible from all aspects."

Zhong Lixiao suddenly understood.

I finally understand why Master's magical instrument is so strange.

but.

The more I look at this magical instrument, the Five Spirit Mirror, the more it looks like a smartphone from my previous life!

Zhong Lixiao felt that with this invention, his master might be able to bring about a new revolution in the world.
