Chapter 143 Spiritual Vein
Chapter 143 Spiritual Vein
"What holy words?" Xiao Wangshu and Zhao Shiye asked in surprise.
"One is 'As fast as lightning'. You can use it to speed up your journey, and you can also quickly get away from the Demon Emperor when you meet him! The other is 'Immune to all poisons'. You can add it to yourself or to someone in need." Cai Ji explained while taking out a pen and paper and started to translate the same words.
As fast as lightning?
Hundreds of poisons are not invaded?
Xiao Wangshu and Zhao Shiye looked at each other and saw a money tree in each other's eyes.
Why is it a money tree?
Because Cai Ji said that they can impose "Invulnerability to All Poisons" on others.
Of course, if you want to make someone immune to all poisons, you must pay a price.
So, there has to be a payoff.
Putting aside Zhongzhou, those bigwigs in Xizhou and Beizhou would definitely be willing to pay a high price for immunity to all poisons!
This trip to the two northwestern states to deliver the magic weapon will definitely make a fortune for the two of them.
Cai Ji could guess what the two were thinking without having to think.
He did it on purpose.
Although he does not support others using the Holy Word to gain benefits outside.
But he also knew that if he wanted the horse to run, he had to feed it grass!
If you want Zhao Shiye and Xiaowangshu to devote themselves to the great cause of human rejuvenation, it will not work just by reasoning.
They must be given tangible benefits!
"Everyone, let me explain the difference and usage of the two Holy Words." After writing the transliteration, Cai Ji pointed at the words on the paper and said seriously: "The first sentence can only be used on yourself. It consumes spiritual power and makes your speed as fast as lightning for a quarter of an hour. The second sentence is immune to all poisons and is permanent. You can use it on yourself or others, but it consumes a lot of spiritual power, so everyone should use it with caution."
"Good good!"
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Cai!"
Zhao Shiye and Xiaowangshu were both smiling happily.
But Wang Tiechui was not satisfied.
Because he is immune to all poisons, his speed can also be as fast as lightning.
To him, the two verses were as good as free gifts.
So he protested directly: "What about me?"
"You're not going to give away the magic weapon, so what else do you want?" Cai Ji directly retorted.
"Uh..." Da Siming was speechless on the spot.
Feng Ling thought about it and asked curiously, "Why can Lightning Speed only be used by myself? And it's not permanent?"
"Ahem!" Cai Ji was a little embarrassed and decisively found an excuse: "I was afraid that if it got out, the streets would be full of thieves, so I gave you an improved version."
Improved version?
The castrated version is correct!
Everyone knew the truth, but no one dared to complain.
After all, you are taking something from someone else.
"Okay! You guys take your time to learn! I'll go practice first!"
Cai Ji realized that the atmosphere was not right and decided to slip away decisively.
……
The top floor of the Tower of Babel.
Cai Ji had been here once a few days ago and was very familiar with the place.
He entered the special training room and sat cross-legged on the cushion.
He did not use the Holy Word to transfer spiritual power directly into his body. Instead, he relaxed his mind and circulated the Tianyuan Sutra, beginning to sense the spiritual veins high in the sky above the Tower of Babel.
Because using the Holy Word to transfer huge amounts of spiritual energy into the body will generate huge spiritual pressure.
Cai Ji was afraid that if he was not careful, he would destroy the Tower of Babel!
This is a miraculous building created by countless generations of people.
You can't afford the compensation just because you have money.
Therefore, he planned to slow down the pace and absorb spiritual energy by the method of "double-speed absorption".
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm rich this time!"
Cai Ji released all his senses and discovered that the spiritual vein in the sky was like a river, winding from the distant sky and then winding away in another direction.
The spiritual power in the river was indeed as vast and astonishing as Wang Tiechui said, and it was surging endlessly.
"The absorption speed of Tianyuan Sutra increased tenfold."
"The absorption rate increased thirty times."
"Increase fifty times..."
"One hundred and fifty times..."
Cai Ji circulated the mantra, feeling the pressure of the spiritual power rushing into his body while constantly adjusting himself, eventually stabilizing the absorption speed at 150 times.
This speed will not generate strong spiritual pressure, and both the body and the Tower of Babel can withstand it.
The only drawback is that it is slow.
According to his estimation, it would take at least three days to completely fill the body.
……
An hour later.
The four big bosses of Zhongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau announced the adjournment of the meeting after learning two sentences of holy words.
Wang Tiechui took the initiative to retain Feng Ling, who had just broken through to the first level, and expressed his willingness to impart his cultivation experience free of charge, but was unfortunately ruthlessly rejected.
Da Siming had no choice but to use the excuse of discussing serious matters and keep Feng Siming to study concrete.
In the morning, Zhen Yourong showed him the concrete that Cai Ji had made, and also said that Cai Ji needed two thousand demon-slaying swords as materials for making "enhanced magic weapons". All these matters needed to be handled by the Equipment Manufacturing Department.
Feng Ling is the head of the Equipment Manufacturing Department.
Consulting with her is a must.
"Sister Ling, come and see Manager Cai's new invention!" Da Siming said with a shameless face, and asked her to see the bucket of hardened concrete that Zhen Yourong had sent.
"What is this?" Feng Siming looked at the things in the bucket and asked curiously.
"Hey, this is called concrete! It's as hard as stone!" Wang Tiechui didn't dare to keep the secret and explained directly: "Use limestone, clay and gypsum, mix them in proportion, and then put them on the fire to calcine, you can get a strange powder. This powder is then mixed with sand and gravel and water. After a day, it will solidify!"
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
After Da Siming finished explaining, he reached out and knocked on the concrete.
Feng Siming thought for a moment and asked, "The most important thing is the powder, right?"
“Right, right, right!” Wang Tiechui nodded repeatedly and continued, “Shopkeeper Cai called that powder cement, which probably means that after the powder is mixed with water, it can be shaped like mud!”
"Cement? Manager Cai wants us to produce a large amount of powder for building houses and city walls?" Feng Siming was very smart and immediately thought of the uses of concrete.
"That's right! Lingmei, you are so smart!" Wang Tiechui slapped his thigh and flattered, "That's what Manager Cai meant! And he has also figured out how to solve the problem of insufficient manpower."
"How to solve it?" Feng Ling asked.
"Recruit the people!" Wang Tiechui replied.
"Ah?" Feng Ling was stunned and frowned, "The people have suffered enough, and if you add more labor to them..."
"It's not labor, it's recruitment! The kind that pays wages! What Manager Cai means is that the Demon Suppression Bureau will go out and hire common people to mine various minerals and help. This way, it will not only solve the livelihood problems of a large number of people in the city, but also solve the problem of insufficient manpower in the Demon Suppression Bureau." Wang Tiechui replied with a smile.
"This method is indeed good." Feng Ling thought about it, and suddenly frowned and said, "But doing this is fine in the short term, but over a long period of time, how can the Demon Suppression Bureau have so much money?"
"Don't worry! Shopkeeper Cai has given a solution! He said that when the people have money, the Demon Suppression Bureau can sell the cement to the people to build houses! In this way, the money will flow back into the hands of the Demon Suppression Bureau! At the same time, the people will have jobs and can live in sturdy cement houses, and the fire hazards in the city will be eliminated... It's simply the best of both worlds." Wang Tiechui answered proudly.
Feng Ling's frown instantly relaxed when he heard that.
She looked up at the ceiling and muttered to herself, "How can Shopkeeper Cai be so smart at such a young age? Could it be that he has used the Holy Word to improve his wisdom?"
Cai Ji on the top floor was focusing on absorbing spiritual energy and was not eavesdropping on the conversation downstairs.
If he heard it, he would definitely shout, "My soulmate! Feng Siming!"
