The technique that Huangpu Shiyi used to train his eyesight was named 'Illusionary Godly Eyes'. By concentrating his spiritual energy on his eyes, he would release his spiritual threads from his eyes. Wherever his eyes reached, his spiritual threads would penetrate into the target and allow him to perceive the tiniest structure of the object that was invisible to the naked eye. ▲ 〃.
When the technique reached the highest level, not only would the 'Illusionary Godly Eyes' allow one to see through the structure of the target, they would also be able to locate the weakest part of the target's structure keenly.
At that time, after a quick glance, the heavily guarded target would turn into a clear skeleton, and the weakest part of the skeleton would be emitting vague redness. There would be no need to think at all. One would know where to attack after a quick glance.
That was just the setup of one or two crystal bombs.
If there were more than three consecutive explosions, more factors would be involved, and the computational ability would be required. Too many theories had to be applied, such as the chaos theory, the turbulence model, the butterfly effect, the uncertainty principle of Master Kong Tuo … Li Yao was dazzled by and exclaimed in delight when he read all the mysterious, sophisticated theories.
Several days were not enough for him to study so many theories in a row.
Thankfully, there was a mysterious memory space inside Li Yao's brain. Forty thousand years ago, the Heavenly Refining Tower of the Hundred Smelting Clan could lengthen the virtual time by multiple times!
Li Yao sank his consciousness into his brain all day long and trained hard with the effect of the extended time inside the Heavenly Refining Tower.
At first, Huangpu Shiyi had kept some of the knowledge to himself.
He claimed that he would give Li Yao fifty percent of the techniques, but in fact, he only gave him thirty percent. Also, they were all complicated theories.
In Huangpu Shiyi's opinion, it would take the computational ability of a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator to fully understand the theories, even if he had to memorize them. It would take him at least three to five months.
Also, the theories could not be applied to a real battle immediately. The improvement of his capability would be limited.
But he did not know that Li Yao was a maniac of explosions who had abundant experience in real battles in the first place. When he was in the Tian Yuan Realm, he had been involved in almost every deadly battle. It was because of the crystal bombs that they had defeated the enemies that were multiple times stronger than them time and time again!
In terms of the path of explosion, Li Yao's practical experience was no less than Huangpu Shiyi's. However, he was an unorthodox genius who was self-taught and lacked systematic theoretical support. That was all.
The theories that Huangpu Shiyi had given him were exactly what he wanted when a sleepy worm met a soft pillow!
During the long time in the Heavenly Refining Tower. While studying all kinds of theories, Li Yao combined his theories with his real-life experience. He then compared the structure of the crystal bombs that Huangpu Shiyi had crafted with the structure of the crystal bombs that he had crafted in the past so as to learn from each other.
Almost every second, there was a new discovery. Every minute. All of them had new insights and increased the speed of their strength. It was even crazier than a crystal bomb explosion!
Only three days had passed in reality, but Li Yao had already memorized all the theories and learned the structural designs of hundreds of crystal bombs from Huangpu Shiyi.
Such a speed … Huangpu Shiyi was both shocked and alarmed. He thought to himself that he could not teach the boy the rest of his techniques easily. Otherwise, even if the boy was sincere about joining the Temple of Immortals, teaching his disciple would only make his master starve. There were a lot of such techniques in the Temple of Immortals, too!
But as it turned out, Li Yao was not just a student. After receiving part of Huangpu Shiyi's knowledge, he seemed to be very satisfied. His attitude toward Huangpu Shiyi had completely changed, too. Not only did he often come to discuss the esoteric crystal bombs with Huangpu Shiyi, he would also occasionally reveal some of the techniques and refining skills that he had kept to himself!
Huangpu Shiyi was both surprised and delighted.
Since his hands had been crippled by lightning more than twenty years ago due to mental derangement during his crazy training, he had basically given up on the path of a sword forger.
Later, when he was traveling far away in the Ten Thousand Square Space Zone in search of divine medicines to treat his hands, he was caught in a cosmic storm and almost lost his life. But his misfortune turned out to be a blessing. Not only did he survive, he also received the heritage of a senior by chance, which was' Illusionary Godly Eyes' and half of a manual on the refinement of crystal bombs.
Since then, Huangpu Shiyi's main research field had been shifted to the refinement of explosive magical equipment!
In the circle of refiners, such a field was not very popular compared to sabers, guns, and starships. There were not many experts in the field in the Temple of Immortals.
He rarely met experts who were important enough for him to communicate with. It was hard for him to make any progress after his capability had reached a certain level.
Some of the questions that Li Yao threw out, however, made him feel that they were scratching an itch. After a few deep conversations, the two of them even had sparks in their minds. While Li Yao was greatly enlightened and had returned with a fruitful journey, Huangpu Shiyi was also greatly enlightened and made rapid progress.
Also, Li Yao did not seem to care at all when he tried to probe Li Yao several times. Li Yao shared a lot of marvelous arts with him.
With Huangpu Shiyi's keen eyes, he could naturally tell that many of the marvelous arts were invaluable and even lost in the outside world!
If they weren't sincerely seeking refuge, they definitely wouldn't take out these ultimate techniques and share them with him!
This time, Huangpu Shiyi was truly confused.
What kind of person is Li Yao exactly? If you say that he is an idiot, his shrewdness and adaptability at the beginning were quite remarkable. He grasped the perfect timing when he demanded an exorbitant price, too.
But if you say that he is smart, why is he not scheming at all? Why is he so heartless as to share so many marvelous arts with me? Many of his magical equipment's refining methods and tricks are unheard of even for me. They are all top secrets of the highest level! But he is willing to share them with me? Does he really consider me his master?
Huangpu Shiyi and Su Jiuzhen analyzed for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. "Li Yao has lived alone at the edge of the cosmos for more than twenty years. Naturally, he has developed a lot of shrewdness and adaptability in the harsh environment.
"However, he does not have much experience with other people after all. He is still too young, too simple, and sometimes very naïve.
"Such an arrogant, disobedient young man needs flattery and compliments more than anything else. He is amenable to persuasion but not coercion. As long as you flatter him, I guarantee that he will share all his secrets! "
After grasping Li Yao's personality, Huangpu Shiyi's attitude toward Li Yao was much friendlier and friendlier. He became more and more kind and amiable. His guidance to him could be said to be 'painstaking' and meticulous.
Of course, he would not suffer any losses, either.
He had calculated that for every technique or refining technique that he taught Li Yao, Li Yao would return at least two of them in return. Although the techniques were not as good as his own in terms of quality, they were much more numerous in terms of quantity!
Huangpu Shiyi was an unparalleled genius, too. After receiving Li Yao's techniques and training methods, he went crazy. In several days, his expertise in refining had soared, and there were signs that he was about to make a breakthrough. He was so happy that snot bubbles were popping out of his nose.
When he had accepted Li Yao as his disciple, he had intended to make a simple deal. But right now, he had changed his mind and realized that the silly boy was only good at talking. In fact, he was quite naive. All he needed to do was to grasp the boy's weakness. As long as he grasped the boy's weakness, the boy would be at his mercy after a few words of flattery!
If he really took such a silly boy as his disciple, he could ask the boy to take part in any dangerous refining experiments in the future. It did not sound bad, either.
Besides, the silly boy had a lot of stuff in his head. Every day, he would toss out a lot of refining techniques that Huangpu Shiyi had never heard of before. Huangpu Shiyi couldn't stop himself. In order to maintain the relationship between the two of them, Huangpu Shiyi had to trade with his own techniques incessantly.
After all, the deal was a sure win for him. The exchange ratio was two to one. He was making a fortune no matter how he looked at it.
Just like that, the relationship between the 'master and disciple' became more and more harmonious. After a few days, there was a sense of joy and harmony between the master and the disciple.
However, in secret, Su Jiuzhen did not relax his monitoring of Li Yao at all.
Li Yao was still living in the same cabin as Huangpu Xiaoya, not only for the convenience of monitoring, but also to show Huangpu Xiaoya that he was a good example.
But Huangpu Xiaoya was not moved at all.
In the first few days, she had been mired in frustration, desperation, and irritation, unable to free herself. But as time went by, she became more and more silent and cold. She seemed to have turned back into the woman made of lightning when Li Yao first met her.
But right now, the lightning was frozen and no longer bouncing.
On the seventh day after Li Yao and Huangpu Shiyi reached a deal, Huangpu Xiaoya was finally brought to talk to Huangpu Shiyi, too.
Three hours later, when Huangpu Xiaoya returned, her eyes were deeply sunken, and she was even quieter than before. She was like a tranquil and depressing ocean before a storm.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, she stared at Li Yao, who was studying the crystal bombs wholeheartedly. She sat there for an entire hour. Then she suddenly jumped up and looked down at him in disdain. She gnashed her teeth and said, "I'm not an ant, and I'm certainly not a monkey!"
Li Yao stared at her without blinking and mumbled to himself, ignoring her completely.
Huangpu Xiaoya raised her voice. She did not seem to be talking to Li Yao but to herself. "Ants only wave their antennae, and monkeys only squeak! But when ordinary people laugh, we know it to be joy; when ordinary people cry, we know it to be pain! We drink the same water! We breathe the same air! We speak the same words! We sing the same songs!
"We were all ordinary people when we were born! Our parents might have been ordinary people! Our descendants might be ordinary people forever, too!
"No. We are just ordinary people. Ordinary people who are slightly stronger than ordinary people!
"Let me tell you. Let me tell you cowardly scumbags! I, Huangpu Xiaoya, will never give up my identity as an ordinary person. I'm willing to fight until the end for my identity! "
Li Yao finally raised his head and glanced at her. He said casually, "Then you will die."
Huangpu Xiaoya's hair was messy, and her face was red. She burst into laughter like a crazy woman. She raised her head and held her head high, with pride beaming out of her face. She declared resolutely, "I may die, but Cultivators are destined to live forever! This is the 'eternal life' that we pursue. It is completely different from the walking dead like you! "
Li Yao sniffed and ignored her, continuing his study.
Today, he was going to solve the 'Big Dipper' Problem, which was how to place and connect the seven crystal bombs so that the power of the serial explosions could be maximized.
