Apart from leaving behind the necessary people to set up landmarks, the rest of the troops escorted the craftsmen to the territory ruled by the Hao Clan.
Because they had already interacted with a Zongzi of the Hao Clan beforehand, according to the agreement, a flying boat would pick them up after they entered the territory and bring them directly to the factory to exchange their skills.
If it weren't for those master craftsmen who were holding them back, then the army could directly fly over. But now, they could only ride on some of the animals prepared by the soldiers who came here in advance to carry them. It was estimated that this part of the journey would take two days.
During the journey, a craftsman surnamed Li found Commandant Ming and said, "Commandant Ming, can we have a private talk?"
Commandant Ming looked at him, raised his hand, and moved away from Commandant Ming. He said, "Let's talk."
Craftsman Li said, "I've seen the troops dispatched by the military this time. I know that they value Commandant Mo very much, but they underestimate you too much."
Commandant Ming curled his lips and said, "It's enough that you know this. There's no need to emphasize it again."
Craftsman Li said, "I don't mean to offend Commandant Ming. I'm just stating what I saw. The Tenki-in Hall is closely related to the Xuanfu. We're willing to provide you with help. Trust us, we'll definitely be able to help Commandant Ming raise your status. "
Commandant Ming said unhappily, "I fought for my status myself. Is it appropriate for me to ask for your help? My own hard work is the most important thing. "
Craftsman Li couldn't help but take a deep breath as if he was enduring something. Then, he said, "Of course, we know Commandant Ming's ability. Otherwise, we wouldn't have looked for you. But sometimes, even those with good ability may not be able to obtain a corresponding status.
There are many reasons. Sometimes, it's just a ridiculous sensory bias. For example, the likes and dislikes of the higher-ups. Sometimes, it's just a simple preference. Sometimes, it's just a difference in appearance. Rationality can't decide everything. "
Commandant Ming agreed. There was definitely no difference in appearance. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He pointed at Commandant Ming and said, "Actually, in my opinion, it's all your fault."
Craftsman Li said, "Why are you blaming us?"
Commandant Ming gestured with his hands and said, "If you can create a creation that completely judges merits and demerits, and the right of promotion and demotion will not be in the hands of those people, then wouldn't it be reasonable and fair?"
Master Craftsman Li said, "This is a very interesting suggestion, but it's the same as the injustice Your Excellency encountered. It's not that we don't have such thoughts, but we're under too many restrictions and can't do such things. Therefore, we can only give some people a limited amount of justice and then give more people a fair treatment."
Lieutenant Ming's interest was piqued. "So you chose me? I want to hear, how do you plan to help me obtain justice? "
Master Craftsman Li said, "For example, a better outer armor. As long as Lieutenant Ming can wear the armor of the upper class, everyone will value you. "
Commandant Ming said in surprise, "But as far as I know, you haven't succeeded in this aspect. The outer armors you made in the past were only half-finished products. I heard that you've always failed."
Master Craftsman Li said, "We don't deny failure, but that's to accumulate experience for success. Although the outer armor we're talking about hasn't been made, there are creators here. This time, we went to negotiate with those creators, but the higher-ups gave us restrictions. Even if they're willing to give it to us, we can't get it."
Commandant Ming said, "Then I can't do anything about it. I'm a soldier, I won't go against military orders. If you do something beyond the limits, I'm sorry, but I'll immediately arrest you. "
Master Craftsman Li said, "Yes, although the higher-ups said that we can't discuss this with the creators of the Hao Clan. We can't accept these skills, but there's no rule that says you can't take them. For example, if Commandant Ming has the opportunity to get the outer armor, we can study it while we're at it. That's not going against the law, is it? "
Commandant Ming said in surprise, "You're exploiting a loophole." He pondered for a moment, "Sir, you're so skilled. Don't tell me you didn't learn it when you were young?"
Master Craftsman Li's face twitched slightly, and said, "That's not important. If Commandant Ming can get a set of refined armor as a gift, I hope you can accept it."
Commandant Ming grinned, and said, "Sure, if there's such a chance."
Master Craftsman Li said, "Commandant Ming, just wait for the news. Maybe we won't succeed this time, but as long as we trust each other, I believe we can cooperate more often."
Commandant Ming slowed down and separated from him. He fell behind and told Assistant Cong about this. Assistant Cong said, "Commandant, you agreed?"
Commandant Ming said casually, "Who doesn't know how to draw a big picture? I'll draw one for them too. I'll eat theirs, and they'll eat mine. No one owes anyone anything." He crossed his arms, "Actually, what they want is the fairness they set. Where's the real fairness?"
Assistant Cong said, "Commandant, should we report this matter?"
Commandant Ming said, "Don't report it first. He's only going back on his word to test if I have other intentions. If that's not the case, just pretend he didn't say anything. I'll just add a line to the report. If there's really an outer armor, it won't be too late to report it then."
Assistant Cong was very gratified. Whenever Commandant Ming used his brain to think, he could make the right judgment. Unfortunately, this kind of situation was too rare.
On the Wasteland's mound, Yu Ruiqing retracted his hand and looked at Yue Luo who was sitting there. He nodded continuously.
The mystic technique that he cultivated could borrow from different techniques to make up for his weaknesses, and extract what he needed from them. As for the fundamental seal he created, it could temporarily conceal his cultivation and allow him to learn a new Dao Art from the beginning.
This was also the reason why he told Yue Luo that if it was possible, a cultivator should learn a few more techniques. However, he had never done so before because this was only a deduction in the past, an ideal situation.
Moreover, he had made some deductions about this. If he really did so, the technique that he cultivated would not be able to surpass the original realm of the technique. Other than his own comprehension, it would not bring many benefits and would not increase his combat power. If he did not do well, it would backfire and destroy his own path. Therefore, even he himself did not try it.
However, as his cultivation base deepened, he also realized that if he did not solve the problem that he raised and did not understand this principle, then he would not be able to enter the upper realm.
Even if he had already cultivated to the fourth chapter, this flaw was still there. If he could not pass, then he could not pass.
Of course, it was not that he did not have a solution. If this realm did not exist, he would use the method of self-destruction to enter another lower realm, and then cultivate again. This was equivalent to creating another life.
However, the possibility of failure here was also very high. Once he could not achieve what he wanted in the lower realm, he would never be able to enter the upper realm.
In the past, there were many people who were overflowing with talent who could not achieve anything. Most of them had set their own goals too high and did not achieve them later on, thus dragging down their path of cultivation. And if they slightly lowered the requirements that they had set before, it would mean that they were denying and doubting themselves, which would become a kind of mental barrier.
Yu Ruiqing was originally prepared to use this lower realm to take this step, but he did not expect that the solution to this problem would first fall on his own disciple.
Yue Luo had always remembered his words, and unintentionally used this fundamental seal as a foundation to try to cultivate another technique. She felt that her cultivation speed was fast because of this fundamental seal, which had unknowingly made up for the last flaw of the technique.
Now, the biggest obstacle before he could go to the upper realm had been removed.
This time, he would use the upper realm seal that Zhang Yu gave him as a ladder to climb the path of cultivation. However, he also encountered the same problem as Yingxiong, Yao Zhenjun, and the others. If he completely relied on Zhang Yu's seal and did not change his own body, although he could pass through, he might not be able to achieve his own technique.
If he wanted to go further in the future, he had to make some improvements.
He also had his own method, which was to get it and forget it. This was the method of trapping space and entering the void that he had told Yue Luo.
After borrowing that seal, he would use the method of "pure forgetting". If even the self did not exist, then there would be no distinction between his Dao and his Dao, because these were all gone.
The key was how to return after forgetting oneself.
Here, he decided to use the method of having Yue Luo remember the seal that he had set up. This seal was in both his and Yue Luo's Great Dao Chapters, and it was related to inheritance. After he had forgotten, Yue Luo would remember it. As long as she persevered, she would be able to guide him back to consciousness.
If this attempt did not succeed, he was not sure whether his own body would be affected, but even if he failed, Yue Luo would receive all of his experience this time. Because he had indeed reached the upper level, if Yue Luo could ascend to the upper level in the future, she would not be disturbed by this anymore. His Dao could even be passed down.
He looked at Yue Luo, who was sitting there cross-legged and lost in thought, and smiled. He raised his head to look at the Great Dao Chapters, his eyes fixed on the fundamental seal on it. His consciousness fell inside, and in an instant, a ray of light appeared on his body, and he disappeared from where he was.
Yue Luo was in a daze. She did not know how long she had been sitting there. She only remembered Yu Ruiqing's words, and kept her thoughts on the seal. At a certain moment, she heard a voice by her ear. "Disciple, wake up."
She could not help but open her eyes, only to see Yu Ruiqing standing in front of her with a smile. However, there was a hint of faintness in his figure, as if he was different from before. She said in surprise, "Teacher, you …"
Yu Ruiqing smiled and nodded.
Yue Luo could not help but let out a cheer.
Yu Ruiqing shook his head and smiled. "Don't be happy too early. This time, I am only verifying. When I go back and do my cultivation, if I can pass, then it will be considered a success."
Yue Luo nodded and said, "I am so lucky to have you as my teacher."
Yu Ruiqing could not help but laugh. He looked at Yue Luo and nodded with a gentle expression. "It is also my fortune to have you as my disciple."
