? Li = R $?? The School of Mohism offered 2,000 strings of cash to buy Taoist Changsheng's secret hair dyeing technique, but he insisted on not selling it. He insisted on offering it to the Taoist Sect to atone for his sins, "Meton said to Taoist Changsheng.
The hearts of the group of External Alchemy Sect stirred. They could not help but look at Daoist Changsheng, who was by the side. They could not help but nod slightly. The secret technique of dyeing hair was indeed just a tool to earn money in the hands of the other hundred sects. However, it had immeasurable benefits to Daoism.
It was a step further on the path of immortality after the Elixir of Immortality. One could imagine that after the elderly took the Elixir of Immortality, their bones would be strong and they would walk as if they were flying. Then, they would dye their hair black and look like they were in their prime. Who would think that they were old?
Suddenly, the External Alchemy Sect realized that they finally had a magical item in their hands that could compete with the Elixir of Immortality. It was Taoist Changsheng's secret hair dyeing technique. With this technique, the External Alchemy Sect could regain its foothold in the Taoist Sect.
"Taoist Changsheng's actions are great. With this secret technique, the Taoist Sect will definitely advance," the Qingcheng Taoist Temple Master said with satisfaction as he stroked his beard.
The External Alchemy Sect nodded and accepted Taoist Changsheng's return.
"Greetings, Taoist Changsheng." Taoist Changsheng bowed. These few days, he had experienced both ice and fire. There was the glory of leading External Alchemy to force Yuan Shoucheng. There was also the pain of being exposed and falling from the clouds. Today, he had returned to the lineage of External Alchemy of Daoism. There were many twists and turns, and he was deeply moved.
"Thank you for your help, School of Mohism. The Taoist Sect's External Alchemy Sect will always remember your kindness. However, after this incident, our reputation has been ruined. Even if School of Mohism forgives us and cooperates with us, we will be too ashamed to stay in the capital," the Qingcheng Taoist Temple Master said with a bitter smile.
The other External Alchemy Sect members nodded as well. Their bodies being poisoned when refining elixirs was a huge blow to them.
"What if I ask you to stay?" Li Shimin appeared in front of everyone with a majestic voice.
"Your Majesty!"
"This sinner kowtows in salute to Your Majesty!"
The group of Taoist priests was shocked, and their hearts were filled with fear and trepidation. They hurriedly knelt on the ground. It could be said that the ones who suffered the most from the poison of the elixir were the nobles. Even the emperors had suffered from it. At this moment, Li Shimin appeared in front of everyone. How could they not be in fear and trepidation?
"Everyone, please dispense with the formalities. I have already heard about what happened at the Alchemy Conference. Although all of you have made a huge mistake, it was an unintentional mistake. As the saying goes, those who do not know are innocent. I will not punish all of you." Li Shimin comforted them with an amiable expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The group of Taoist priests immediately shed tears of gratitude. With Li Shimin's guarantee, they were no longer afraid of being punished in the future.
Li Shimin then said with a solemn face, "I asked you to stay in the capital because the Taoist External Alchemy Sect has something that is related to the future of the Tang dynasty. Please help me."
"The External Alchemy Sect's item is related to the future of the Tang dynasty!" The group of External Alchemy Sect disciples could not help but look at each other. When did the External Alchemy Sect, which was despised by the world, become so popular?
"Your Majesty, please enlighten us! Everything that belongs to our Taoist sect must be permitted. "The Qingcheng Monastery Master stepped forward and said.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and a familiar figure appeared in front of the group of Taoist priests.
"Divine Firmament!"
The group of Taoist priests could not help but be stunned. No one expected him to appear.
Following that, they recalled the importance of Taoist Changsheng's secret technique of dyeing hair. They could not help but be stunned. Could it be that the item that was related to the fate of the Tang dynasty was Taoist Divine Firmament's fake Lightning Art?
The group of External Alchemy Sect disciples could not help but lament. What kind of world was this? They had devoted themselves to the Dao, but ended up losing their reputations. As for Taoist Divine Firmament, he was just as swindling as Taoist Changsheng. He was even able to create something that alarmed Li Shimin.
Their guess was right. Li Shimin was indeed interested in Taoist Divine Firmament's Gunpowder Art. Such a primitive Gunpowder Art was not rare in the External Alchemy Sect. If Li Shimin wanted to monopolize the Gunpowder Art, the best way was to gather all the External Alchemy Sects under the imperial government's control.
"Everyone's guess is right. The item that is related to the fate of the Tang dynasty is none other than Taoist Divine Firmament's Fire Subduing Art." Meton nodded.
Qingcheng Daoist thought to himself, "As expected!"
Meton continued, "The cooperation between the Daoist External Alchemy lineage and the Mohist lineage is not just empty talk. Now, let me use this Fire Subduing Art to demonstrate the miraculous cooperation between the Daoist and Mohist secret techniques."
"Saltpeter, sulfur, honey, charcoal, alum, borax …" Meton placed the items used by the Daoists in alchemy in front of everyone. However, they had all been ground to powder.
"This is Doctor Sun's Fire Subduing Art, as well as all the raw materials used by Taoist Divine Firmament to create the lightning." Meton showed it to everyone.
The group of External Alchemy Sects nodded. In fact, Sun Simiao and Taoist Divine Firmament were not the only ones who used the Fire Subduing Art. They had also used it when refining pills.
Meton took out a portion of each of the raw materials and mixed them together evenly. He placed them in an empty spot outside the hall and scattered them into a long strip. Then, he ignited it with a match.
The most primitive Gunpowder Art burned with a loud boom. Immediately, a pungent smell filled the entire side hall.
However, the most primitive Gunpowder Art burned very slowly. Furthermore, there was a lot of residue.
Meton said, "I believe that the Fire Subduing Art formula still needs to be changed. First, the parts that are not suitable for igniting can be removed.
After Meton said that, he removed the alum, borax, and other minerals.
"You only need to keep one of the same type. Keep the best!" Meton continued.
Soon, the honey and carbonized honey were removed, leaving only charcoal.
After a few rounds of testing, Meton only kept three items. They were saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal.
Meton took a portion of each of the three items and mixed them evenly before igniting them again. Indeed, the burning speed was much faster than the most primitive Gunpowder Art.
The Daoists' eyes lit up as they could not help but nod slightly. The Mohist technique was indeed unique. The Fire Subduing Art had its strength increased by several times through Meton's hands.
However, that was not the end. Meton continued, "I believe that the ratio of the Fire Subduing Art formula can be further improved."
Previously, Meton had used a ratio of one to one for the Fire Subduing Art formula. Following that, Meton experimented with different ratios of the Fire Subduing Art formula.
The group of External Alchemy Sect members stared in bewilderment. The Fire Subduing Art that Meton concocted became stronger with each attempt.
"Boom!"
The Fire Subduing Art boomed, accompanied by a pungent white light. The flames leaped high into the air.
"One saltpeter, two sulfur, and seven charcoal. This is the formula that is closest to perfection. To reach perfection, further experimentation is needed." Meton said with certainty after seeing the effects.
