Mysterious mirror hanging high

Wu Yuelan put down his long staff and spoke eloquently:

"The original [Purple Thunder Staff] has been almost universally used across the Five Seas and Four Continents for many years now. I'm sure all of you Heavenly Sovereigns are aware of it..."

"Although the [Purple Thunder Bullet] fired from the original [Purple Thunder Staff] has the power of an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is always straight forward. Foundation Establishment cultivators have sharp senses, so they can easily dodge it by predicting the angle of the opponent's hand movement."

"Therefore, if the Purple Thunder Staff is only in the hands of a Qi Cultivator, although it is powerful, it cannot truly threaten a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"And now, the improved version of the [Purple Thunder Staff] can automatically capture the enemy's aura and achieve tracking. The power of the [Purple Thunder Bullet] has also been increased to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment..."

"But these aren't the biggest changes. The biggest change is actually... the latest version of the [Purple Thunder Staff] no longer requires mana or true essence to activate. It is now activated entirely by the [Thunder Spirit Stone] embedded within it."

"Just flip the switch to launch the [Purple Thunder Bomb]."

"In other words, even a mortal without any magical power can use the latest version of the [Purple Thunder Staff]!"

Wu Yuelan's face was filled with enthusiasm: "The thunder spirit power of one [Low-grade Thunder Spirit Stone] can launch five [Purple Thunder Bullets]!"

"I can't say for a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment... but at least it's hard for an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment to survive the enhanced [Purple Thunder Bomb]."

"A mere low-grade spirit stone could take the lives of five cultivators in the early stages of foundation building..."

Jing Yu and others' expressions changed and they couldn't help but be amazed.

It should be noted that even with the popularity of skill puppets nowadays, the production cost of [Foundation Building Pill] has been greatly reduced. However, no matter how low it is, taking into account the cost of spiritual materials for refining the Foundation Building Pill and the labor costs during refining, one Foundation Building Pill will still cost at least about one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

With this [Purple Thunder Staff], under the premise of [hitting the target with every shot], it is equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Pill, which can exchange for the lives of 500 Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Of course, the account cannot be calculated in this way, but Jing Yu and others vaguely feel that the birth of the [Purple Thunder Staff] may be an important node to further weaken the difference between immortals and mortals.

Jing Yu touched his chin and asked, "Did you research this [Purple Thunder Staff]?"

Wu Yuelan cupped his hands and said, "I dare not take credit for it. I did put a lot of effort into the mechanism, but it was Master Xuan Ce who provided the core idea for the extremely sophisticated [Spell Circuit] contained within it."

It was indeed her... Jing Yu suddenly realized and asked:

"Yue Lan, your skill in puppetry has become increasingly sophisticated, surpassing even your master. Your father would surely be pleased if he knew... However, the Immortal Continent's great calamity is imminent. Whether you can survive it depends on your Divine Transformation strength..."

"Do you think... can you develop some mechanical devices that can inflict harm on the God Transformation Celestial Monarch?"

Why don’t you let me go and kill the Divine Cauldron Transformation God in the lower realm directly… Wu Yuelan rolled his eyes inwardly and said with difficulty:

"Master... aren't you asking too much of me...? To harm the Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch, the power of laws will inevitably be involved. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators like me can't even comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, so how can we create such a mechanism?"

"If you want to develop a mechanical device that can harm a Spiritual Transformation cultivator, then I estimate that only a Great True Lord in the late Nascent Soul stage is qualified to do so... After all, only in the late Nascent Soul stage can one begin to comprehend the power of the laws."

Jing Yu casually said, "I'm not forcing you to do it... I'm just keeping it in mind. From now on, I'll gradually increase the research funding for Yuanying and Huashen level mechanical creations in the Mechanical Puppet Hall. As the saying goes, a big reward always brings a brave man..."

Wu Yuelan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Do you have the funds? Then I can give it a try..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Guan Lingxiao and the others, they agreed to return to Jiange in a year to attend his disciple's incarnation ceremony. Then Jing Yu grabbed Wu Yuelan, broke through the void and descended to the East China Sea.

East China Sea, Tianxu Island, Xuanjing Immortal Sect General Affairs Hall

In the center of the hall, there is a large sandalwood desk, on which are neatly placed various jade slips.

Behind the desk, Ye Jinyuan sat upright on a cushion, carefully flipping through a jade slip, his eyes slightly closed, lost in thought.

Although the current headmaster of Xuanjing Xianmen has achieved the success of Danjie and greatly increased his lifespan, he still maintains a slightly old-fashioned middle-aged appearance.

His face was gaunt, with a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes and a few strands of gray at his temples.

He was wearing a light blue robe of simple style, with only a few cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs, appearing low-key and restrained.

The next moment, Jing Yu, dressed in a gray robe, suddenly appeared in front of the desk. Ye Jinyuan's expression changed slightly, and he raised his head suddenly. A look of surprise appeared on his face at first, but then he saw who it was, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Master! Are you out of retreat?"

Jing Yu smiled and nodded. "Jin Yuan... late Jindan stage? That's right, you shouldn't be six hundred years old yet? It's rare to see such rapid cultivation despite being so busy with chores. It's truly remarkable."

Ye Jinyuan's face flushed, and he smiled bitterly, "I'm so ashamed of Master... Senior Brother is over 700 years old and already understands everything. When I reach Senior Brother's age, it will be a blessing to be able to achieve Golden Core Perfection."

Jing Yu casually said, "I just went to Zhongzhou Sword Pavilion and met your senior brother... He is a destiny child born to meet the calamity, a truly peerless genius rarely seen in the Immortal Continent. You don't need to compare yourself to him, just take one step at a time."

Ye Jinyuan looked at Jing Yu's face cautiously, his expression slightly hesitant.

Jing Yu's five senses were so sharp that she had already noticed Ye Jinyuan's dilemma. Seeing this, she said gently, "Is there something you're holding back? Why not tell me?"

Ye Jinyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Master, my senior brother had been practicing swordsmanship with Su Xuan Tianjun in the Sword Pavilion. A year ago, he caught a glimpse of the opportunity to achieve Divine Transformation, so he achieved Divine Transformation in the Sword Pavilion... Originally, my senior brother had intended to do it on Tianxu Island..."

Jing Yu laughed when he heard this. He finally understood why Ye Jinyuan was so hesitant and shook his head.

"Your eldest brother is an orphan from Jiange. He was born and raised in Jiange since childhood... Logically, he is naturally considered a disciple of Jiange."

"Although he accepted me as his master, he was also a disciple accepted by me on a personal basis."

"Besides, when your eldest brother became my disciple, I hadn't even established a lineage in the East China Sea yet, and the [Xuanjing Immortal Sect] was even more of a non-existent thing... Why do you need to be so cautious?"

Jing Yu shrugged. "Your master has never cared about any kind of Taoist inheritance. Xuanjing Immortal Sect was originally built to provide a place for the cultivators of Tianming Tower to stay in the East China Sea. Ling Xiao's return to Jiange is only natural..."

"Even if you, the current headmaster of Xuanjing Xianmen, simply quit and return to the Ye family, it won't matter to me as your master."
