Chapter 59 Daoist Duobao
Chapter 59 Daoist Duobao
The charred giant rabbit that the Long-Eared Immortal had transformed into was still twitching in the deep pit.
However, the atmosphere in front of Biyou Palace had already undergone a complete transformation.
The Jie Sect was originally the most martial and power-loving sect in the primordial world!
A newcomer at the Dao Integration Realm shattered the seven attendant immortals, who were at the Golden Immortal level, with a single blow.
Such a ruthless person deserves the position of the Ninth Disciple!
The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed three times, his holy voice echoing above Jin'ao Island.
"Today, Yuan'er returns to his ancestral home, and all the immortals of our Jie Sect gather here. I hereby issue this decree: open the gates of Biyou Palace and prepare a grand banquet for all the immortals."
"Today, you will not leave until you are drunk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tongtian Sect Leader waved his sleeves, and his figure transformed into wisps of pure energy, disappearing from the jade steps.
The sage resides high in the nine heavens. If he were to stand there while his disciples drink and make merry, these juniors would feel constrained.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to our Master!"
All the immortals bowed down in unison.
Once the aura of the Tongtian Sect Leader had completely dissipated, the entire white jade square in front of Biyou Palace instantly erupted in excitement.
"Let the feast begin!"
Daoist Duobao, his face glowing, waved his hand.
In an instant, countless celestial children and maidens filed out carrying trays.
Rows of long tables, carved from millennia-old cold jade, were neatly arranged throughout the square.
On the table, jade platters held delicacies and fine wines, exuding an intoxicating ethereal aura.
Those century-old Vermilion Fruits and thousand-year-old Immortal Peaches that would be fought over by wandering immortals in the outside world are piled up like small mountains here, as if they were free snacks to accompany drinks.
Celestial music floats in the air, and cranes dance gracefully.
This is the grand banquet of ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect, the unparalleled foundation of the number one sect in the prehistoric world!
As the absolute protagonist of the day, Lin Yuan was naturally invited to the front, where he sat at the same table as a group of core powerful figures, including Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao.
During the meal, after several rounds of drinks...
The immortals toasted and drank, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.
"Junior Brother Lin."
A gentle voice rang in Lin Yuan's ears.
Lin Yuan turned his head and saw Daoist Duobao holding a white jade wine cup, smiling as he approached.
This chief disciple of the Jie Sect was fair-skinned and plump, resembling a wealthy old man. However, the countless phantom images of spiritual treasures faintly hovering above his head constantly revealed his unfathomable and terrifying strength.
"Brother Duobao."
Lin Yuan dared not presume and quickly raised his cup in response.
Daoist Duobao drank it all in one gulp, but a look of curiosity appeared on his chubby face as he lowered his voice.
"Junior brother, that hammer blow you just delivered was truly beautiful."
"However, I don't have any other hobbies, except that I'm a bit obsessed with the art of weapon crafting."
Daoist Duobao pointed to the Purple Lightning Hammer at Lin Yuan's waist, which had already lost its lightning, and asked with some doubt.
"This hammer was personally crafted by me, replicating my master's magical artifact. I am intimately familiar with the Nine Heavens Purple Mansion Divine Thunder Formation within it."
"But just now, when I saw you make your move, you actually perfectly integrated your domineering Golden Crow True Fire into the thunder formation, and even drew upon the primordial thunder power of that thunder frog!"
"The three completely different violent forces not only did not explode the furnace, but their power was amplified."
"Junior brother, how exactly did you manage to instantly reorganize spiritual energy without damaging the internal array patterns of the magic weapon?"
Daoist Duobao was a complete weapon-refining fanatic.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's mind immediately became clear.
This is the true "chief steward" of the Jie Sect, second only to the Tongtian Sect Master in status!
If I can completely win him over, I'll be able to do whatever I want on Jin'ao Island from now on.
"The Way of Weapon Forging?"
Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly.
In terms of ancient formations and primordial resources, even ten of Lin Yuan tied together couldn't compare to Daoist Duobao.
But when it comes to the breadth of ideas and industrial thinking, he, a modern person who has traveled from the information explosion era of the 21st century, may be able to offer some different approaches!
Lin Yuan put down his wine cup, slowly picked up a spiritual fruit, and spoke leisurely.
"Senior Brother Duobao, this is actually not a very profound technique; it's just the concept of 'modularization.'"
"Modular?" Daoist Duobao was stunned, his fat face full of confusion.
What kind of ancient secret technique is this? How come he has never heard of it before?
Lin Yuan looked at Duo Bao's eager eyes and explained with a smile.
"When it comes to refining weapons, Senior Brother always emphasizes a seamless process. From melting and shaping a piece of divine iron to inscribing arrays and finally sharpening and drawing in spiritual energy, it's all done by Senior Brother alone, or by a single weapon refiner, in one go, right?"
"That's exactly right." Daoist Duobao nodded repeatedly.
"Magic treasures refined in this way are naturally top-grade," Lin Yuan said, changing the subject.
"But has Senior Brother considered that if a single line of the array is carved incorrectly, or if the heat is slightly off, wouldn't this magic weapon be completely ruined?"
Daoist Duobao slapped his thigh and sighed.
"Who says otherwise! The other day I was refining a batch of Wind-Stabilizing Pearls, and because I stopped the fire half a breath too quickly at the end, I ruined over a hundred top-grade embryos. It broke my heart!"
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and threw out a concept that was considered a game-changer in this era.
"So why not disassemble the magic weapon?"
"For example, forging a flying sword."
"We can totally set up an 'assembly line'!"
Lin Yuan dipped his finger in the immortal wine and began to draw on the white jade table.
"The first batch of outer disciples were only responsible for smelting divine iron and forging 'standard sword blanks' that were exactly the same in specifications."
"The second batch of disciples specializes in wind-based formations and is only responsible for inscribing the 'Wind Control Formation' module on the hilt of the sword blank."
"The third batch of disciples specializes in metal-based formations and is only responsible for inscribing the 'Sharp Array' module on the sword blade."
"Finally, the array master will use a universal 'spiritual energy interface' to combine these modules together!"
Lin Yuan stared intently at Daoist Duobao.
"In this way, even if the design is wrong, only one module will be ruined, and you can just replace it with another one."
"Moreover, the reason I was able to instantly fuse the three powers just now is because I treated the True Fire, the Thunder Frog Origin, and the Purple Lightning Hammer as three independent 'modules.' At the moment of attack, I only connected the 'interfaces' rather than deeply fusing the origins."
boom!!!
These words reached the ears of Daoist Duobao.
It was as if ten thousand divine thunderbolts from the Nine Heavens Purple Mansion had been detonated directly in his mind!
Daoist Duobao froze on the spot.
assembly line!
Standardized embryos!
Modular array interface!
These unheard-of yet exquisitely crafted words were wildly impacting the worldview of this grandmaster of weapon crafting from the Jie Sect.
If we really follow this line of thinking...
Wouldn't all of the tens of thousands of outer disciples of the Jie Sect possess standardized flying swords and magical treasures?!
Even a novice cultivator can produce hundreds or thousands of magic weapon prototypes a day if they are responsible for one link in the assembly line!
This is hardly a weapon-forging technique.
This is clearly the supreme path that armes the entire great religion and sweeps across the primordial world!
"This...this..."
The fat flesh of Daoist Duobao was trembling all over.
He gasped sharply, his eyes turning a frightening red.
"Bang!"
Daoist Duobao grabbed Lin Yuan's hands tightly, his voice cracking with excitement.
"confidant!!"
"Junior Brother Lin Yuan, you are simply a kindred spirit to me, someone I wish I had met sooner."
The dignified chief disciple of the Jie Sect was now clinging to Lin Yuan like a fanatical believer.
"Junior brother, your ideas of 'assembly line' and 'modularization' are simply ingenious and wondrous ideas that rival the creation of heaven and earth."
"With this method, within a hundred years, every one of my tens of thousands of outer disciples in the Jie Sect will definitely have a set of top-grade standardized magic weapons. At that time, even if we just pile them up, we can overwhelm those Taoist priests of the Chan Sect!"
Daoist Duobao pounded his chest with boundless pride, causing his entire body of fat to tremble.
"Junior Brother Lin, from this day forward, on this Golden Turtle Island, anyone who dares to lay a finger on you is going against me, Duobao!"
"If you ever see any rare and precious materials that you fancy, or if you need any protective magic weapons, just come to your senior brother. Your senior brother's treasure trove is open to you."
Lin Yuan laughed wildly in his heart.
Steady!
With Duobao Daoren's words, Lin Yuan could now truly run rampant within the Jie Sect.
"Senior Brother, you flatter me. It is my honor to be able to help you." Lin Yuan withdrew his hand without making a sound and smiled modestly.
Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation.
"Hahaha, what's this talk of close friends and distant acquaintances? Today's grand banquet for ten thousand immortals is for drinking, not discussing the Dao!"
A loud, boisterous laugh rang out.
A burly man with black beard and hair strode over, carrying a bronze wine vessel the size of a water vat in one hand.
It was none other than Zhao Gongming, the chief disciple of the outer sect!
