Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1172 Water of De River
[Now that you put it that way, it seems like your Yang Shen has the upper hand. ]

"To be honest, as someone who grew up in modern society, it's hard for you to let me use my 'primordial spirit' to prevail and focus on seeking the truth without caring about worldly affairs. The division of labor in human society has become highly refined and far more colorful than in ancient times. In this case, focusing on seeking the truth is equivalent to practicing asceticism. I'm not ready for asceticism yet - of course."

He shook his head. "Although I won't practice hard, I won't let the arrogant and extravagant Yin spirit occupy my heart. So from this point of view, a compromise between the two will make it easier for me to stabilize my heart, which is exactly the way of the Yang spirit. My immortal path is like this, neither can be lost. Our car is very big, and all living beings in the world can sit in it."

[Then you are really the same as the ancients, but also different]

After all, when the First Emperor was refining the elixir, he probably didn't want everyone to become real people like him.

"Ah, now that I think about it, I don't have to have too high expectations on Xu Fu. Perhaps, it's just a pill recipe that can increase my cultivation." After saying that, he also asked Xu Fu:
"So, Mr. Xu, what exactly is the elixir you want to show me?"

"It's the recipe for the East Sea Immortal Medicine, and the finished product made according to the recipe."

“???” Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, “It really exists! Is it really a prescription that allows everyone to ascend to heaven?”

"Of course." Xu Fu replied, "You can distrust me, but you can't just question my knowledge. Of course, if the First Emperor didn't trust my knowledge, he wouldn't have sent me to lead the process of seeking medicine. What I refine is an elixir that can turn you into a real person as long as you take it."

"Can you make a few more rounds?"

"If you have the materials, you can refine as much as you want. As long as you eat the golden elixir, you can leave the earth and become an immortal."

[It's over. He has given you a reason that you can't refuse, right? Because you don't worry about your own cultivation, and what attracts you is this method of cultivating strong people in large quantities.]

"Need I say that? I'm already very strong, so I'm not in a hurry. Oh my god, you're really waiting here." He looked at Xu Fu, "What's in the medicine? Are there any rare medicinal materials that are hard to replicate?"

"I'm sorry." Xu Fu replied, "I can't tell you that. Because the prescription is very simple - when you see it, you will be surprised why the prescription is so simple but has never been discovered. Maybe we just lack this finishing touch when we go there."

[Hey, hey, hey, calm down. He's targeting your preferences again. Now it's the 'FTL engine is as simple as a windmill, but the people on Earth haven't discovered it yet' 8 billion mad dogs unleashed. ]

"I understand. But this smells so good." He looked at Xu Fu, "I say, Mr. Xu, do you dare to swear? To Luo He?"

"I swear on the De River! The water of the De River is blue! It gathers in the sky, and its flow is vast! The people of the country sing together, and its water is vast! I am a Qin person, and the First Emperor has been very kind to me. And I swear on the De River, can you believe me?"

"Okay." Shangluo nodded, "I will believe you for now. But if you tell a lie——"

"I promise I didn't. I promise I'm telling the truth." Xu Fu answered without hesitation, "You should believe the old Qin people's oath to Dehe River, just like you, Shangjun, swore to Luoshui River. My oath is as sincere as yours!"

[It’s over. 】

"Ahem," Shangluo coughed, "Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it. So where is your dojo, Mr. Xu?"

"In Kumano."

"Kumano?" [Searching for Kumano - Kumano is a pilgrimage center for the natural faith called Shugendo. It is basically the same as the Ontake faith in Ryukyu, and there are also many natural gods worshipped in the Kumano area. From the perspective of spiritual practice, the feng shui there is good.]

"Where is the exact location?"

【Look at the map.】 Apollonia noted the location.

Kumano is actually the area centered in Nara, which was divided into the "yamato" region in the Japanese Ritsu system. This word actually means Yamato. Of course, like other places, the shogunate regarded such words as taboos. Whenever you encounter yamato, just write Yamatai, which is the Japanese pronunciation of "yamato".

It can also be written as yama-hu or yama-ji, which is the specific meaning.

"So it's here." Shangluo looked at the map. This is indeed the core area of ​​the ancient Japanese regime. In other words, when Xu Fu came, there were only people here, and other places were basically wasteland.

【I also searched for the "Xu Fu relics" in Japan, and they are basically concentrated here. There is even a Xu Fu Shrine here! It is a mausoleum that worships Xu Fu as a god. Among them, Xu Fu is worshipped as the god of agriculture and medicine. He is the great god who taught farmers all kinds of crafts, grains, farm tools, medicines and medical skills. 】

"What do you think?"

[This makes sense! If you ask where Xu Fu's research facilities are, then they can only be here. After all, there are no people anywhere else. When he came, there were only people here. It makes sense that there are many relics of Xu Fu here. This makes sense.]

"You mean, you think there's something wrong?"

[It's hard for me to say. But since this is a reason you can't refuse, I won't add extra pressure to you. ]

"Okay." Shang Luo stood up. "Then Mr. Xu, I will trust you for now. Then you won't mind if I destroy Qianye, right?"

Xu Fu shook his head as a matter of course and said, "Please do as you please. I don't mind. Shall we start now?"

"Not yet, I'll deal with the main task first. As for the facilities here, I think the Dragon King will be more interested. I will let the Dragon King accept it."

Shangluo also remembered that Qianye's super crossbow-class battleship seemed to be prepared for future wars. Considering Xu Fu's experience of using crossbows to hunt dragons, Shangluo wanted to see whether the city would submit obediently in front of the dragon clan, or use its weapons to shoot dragons.

"Apollonia, help me answer the call from King Ao Zang. I have good news to tell him. This is great news, something that even I can't refuse."

"Tianjun." Ao Zang answered, "What's the situation?"

"Xu Fu and I have important matters to attend to. You don't have to go to the Dragon Palace - don't you want the souls here? Qianye is yours. Although the specific division will require another meeting, you can regard Qianye as a prepayment and you can return the excess and pay the shortfall when the time comes."

"Okay, okay!" Ao Zang was overjoyed at the victory. "Since the Heavenly Lord has said so, I won't be polite. I will take over the city and the people inside. It's time to repay the debt."
