"Material Immortality! Rust Restoration! "
The world was in an uproar when the news of Daoism's latest research was spread.
The Daoists had always been researching the secrets of eternal life. Immortality and rejuvenation were both realms that the Daoists could only dream of. Alas, it had always been an illusion. Now that the Daoists had researched the Material Immortality Technique, they were able to turn rusty iron back into iron powder that could be reused, as if they had been reborn. This explosion shook the Great Tang.
If material could live forever, how far was it from human immortality? In an instant, the whole court was shocked. Li Shimin even personally invited Taoist Changsheng into the palace to ask for guidance on the path of immortality.
"Taoist Changsheng, can iron really live forever?" Li Shimin asked eagerly.
Taoist Changsheng bowed and said, "This is absolutely true. Not only can rusted iron be restored to iron, even if it rusts again, it can still be restored. This shows that the concept of material immortality in Daoism's External Alchemy is correct."
"Phew!" Li Chunfeng, who was accompanying him, could not help but hold his breath. He hurriedly asked, "So, Taoist Changsheng has already seen the path of immortality?"
Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat as well. He looked at Taoist Changsheng nervously. If material could live forever, then could humans live forever as well? As an emperor, even a wise emperor could not resist the temptation of immortality.
Taoist Changsheng smiled and said mysteriously, "I wouldn't dare. I've only verified the immortality of matter, and I've only verified that it's an iron-like substance. I'm afraid I still have a long way to go. However, I believe that one day, Taoism's External Alchemy will definitely be able to see the secret of immortality of matter."
"The path of immortality has been the pursuit of Daoism for thousands of years. Now that External Alchemy has made a breakthrough, it's the greatest fortune for us cultivators," Li Chunfeng said emotionally.
In order to revolutionize Daoism, Yuan Shoucheng did not hesitate to use his body to test the poisonous pill. This was how he separated the black sheep of External Alchemy. At first, he did not expect External Alchemy to rise again in such a short period of time. It was even showing signs of surpassing Daoism's Internal Alchemy.
Taoist Changsheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's extremely difficult. In order to test the immortality of substances, the External Alchemy Branch has spent tens of thousands of gold coins just on iron alone. There are so many substances in the world that the path to immortality is extremely difficult.
"A lot of money?"
The two of them couldn't help but be stunned. They turned to look at Moton, who was the last one standing.
Meton smiled awkwardly and cursed in his heart, "Old liar, he's going back to his old ways...
. "This was not what Meton wanted Taoist Changsheng to do. This old liar had a criminal record. However, he had previously cheated ordinary people for his own personal gain. This time, Taoist Changsheng had cheated the emperor and Daoism for the External Alchemy. The Mo family had indeed spent a lot of money in exchange for the Secret Art of Reverting Iron. However, Taoist Changsheng had said that the Mo family had spent a lot of money to test the Secret Art of Reverting Iron in advance, hinting to Daoism and the imperial court to pay for it. Although it was a scam, the purpose was completely different. Meton was naturally willing to help.
"Isn't the Mo family in a crisis too? They had no choice but to cut off all means of retreat. Fortunately, Taoist Changsheng did not disappoint them. Fortunately, with the Art of Reverting Iron, the money was worth it." Meton did not hesitate to be an accomplice. The rise of Daoism's External Alchemy allowed them to refine all kinds of minerals. This was very useful to the Mo family. Naturally, Meton would not stop them.
"I see."
They were well aware of the crisis that Mo Jiazi's village was facing. They had never understood how Mo Jiazi was going to solve the problem, but now it suddenly dawned on them. With the Art of Reverting Iron, all the Rusty Iron in the world would be used by Mo Jiazi. There was no need for him to be threatened by Tie Xing.
"You're usually good at playing tricks. Now you've done something useful." Li Shimin snorted. He knew that Meton had a trick up his sleeve. Now it proved that he was right. However, he was pleasantly surprised that Meton had made a breakthrough in the Way of Longevity in order to solve the crisis of Iron shortage.
"It's a pity that he doesn't care about the common people and ghosts. With the Art of Reverting Iron, the usable iron in the Tang dynasty has increased by several times. However, Li Shimin is thinking about the Way of Longevity," Meton said helplessly in his heart.
However, Li Shimin was an emperor after all. How could he not see this benefit? He changed his tone and said, "The External Alchemy's research has made iron reusable. The Tang dynasty will no longer be in danger of Iron shortage. This is a great contribution to the country. I will allocate funds to the External Alchemy like the School of Medicine. I hope that the External Alchemy will continue to research Taoist magic arts that can be used by the country."
Meton's face stiffened. He did not expect that Li Shimin would give all the benefits to the External Alchemy after he tried so hard to make the scrap iron reusable.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Taoist Changsheng could not hide his joy. The Taoist External Alchemy's tricks had been exposed. They could not go out and cheat people. The External Alchemy no longer had any income. Now, with the School of Mo's wealth and the support of the imperial court, the External Alchemy would definitely revive to its former glory. It would be an honorable and irreproachable glory.
Taoist Changsheng looked at Li Chunfeng. Li Chunfeng immediately said, "The Inner Alchemy will also send Taoist people to help the External Alchemy."
Taoist Changsheng nodded in satisfaction. If the External Alchemy wanted to revive, talents were essential. With the addition of Taoist talents, the External Alchemy would have both money and manpower. With the right research path, it would definitely be able to return to its glory.
Of course, the Inner Alchemy would not lose out. Once the External Alchemy was successful, they would also be able to get a share of the profits.
Everyone in the palace had achieved their goals and returned with satisfaction. However, the pursuit of immortality was never the desire of ordinary people. When the news of Taoism proving the immortality of matter spread, the ordinary people only exclaimed and envied them for a while. More of their attention was focused on Mo Jiazi's extravagant purchases.
"Mo Jiazi is indeed extravagant. He spent so much money just for a secret technique." Countless people were shocked.
There were only a few wealthy people in Chang 'an. However, Mo Jiazi did not hesitate to spend so much money for a Mo technique. His boldness was admirable.
"This is Mo Jiazi!" Many young people said proudly.
"That's where you are wrong. Although Mo Jiazi spent so much money, it was definitely worth it. Not to mention that the Village of Mo is in a critical situation. With the secret technique of restoring iron, the Village of Mo will definitely be able to save the situation. Not to mention, the value of rusty iron, which was originally worthless, has increased greatly. The Village of Mo can make a lot of money from it. I'm afraid that this money will soon return to Mo Jiazi's hands." A businessman said in shock. Mo Jiazi's move not only solved the crisis of the Village of Mo, but also made a lot of money. It was simply an empty promise.
"No wonder someone bought the rusty iron scrap a while ago. Now that I think about it, it must be Mo Jiazi's doing." A Chang 'an citizen suddenly recalled.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, as the news that Mo Jiazi bought the technique of restoring iron spread, Mo Jiazi's brother, who had been secretly buying the scrap iron, did not hide it anymore. Instead, he bought it openly.
For a long time, the scrap iron had no value and no one bought it. The Tang Dynasty had accumulated too much scrap iron, and the Village of Mo had collected quite a lot of scrap iron in a short time by purchasing it without restraint.
"Let's assume that there are tens of thousands of pounds of scrap iron in a county. According to this calculation, the amount of scrap iron in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to the total iron output of all the industries in ten years. Mo Jiazi has made a brilliant move." Gongshu Hong could not help but sigh when he saw carriages carrying scrap iron to the Village of Mo.
"From now on, the Village of Mo will only use scrap iron, and there will be no shortage of iron." Gongshu Hao said admiringly. Now the Village of Mo was the only one in the Tang Dynasty that could smelt scrap iron. The amount of scrap iron equivalent to ten years of iron output was enough for the Village of Mo.
"Master, the price of iron in Chang 'an has plummeted." A disciple of the Gongshu family hurried in and reported.
"Damn it, Mo Jiazi escaped again." Gongshu Lun said regretfully.
"Shut up! Mo Jiazi's escape is not only the luck of the Village of Mo, but also the luck of the Gongshu family, and the whole industry of the Tang Dynasty. "Gongshu Hong scolded loudly.
"Master, why?" Gongshu Lun was not convinced.
"Iron and steel are the food of the industry, and all the iron materials are controlled by the industries. Now the Village of Mo has escaped the siege of the industries and broken out of the siege for the industry. As a member of the industry, the Gongshu family should be grateful to Mo Jiazi." Gongshu Hong said solemnly.
"Not only that, this time Mo Jiazi has shown the world the power of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Even the academic progress of any one of them can change the situation of the Tang Dynasty." Gongshu Hao's eyes lit up.
Before, it was the School of Mo, then the School of Medicine, and now the School of Taoism. No one knew which school of thought would be the next. Maybe it would be the Gongshu family.
"The Hundred Schools of Thought are the future of the Tang Dynasty, and the School of Mo is not necessarily the leading role."
Gongshu Hao said firmly.
