Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 312 The turmoil continues, the Jiazi Ling Shou (a date in the sexagenary cycle)

June 30th, a day of upheaval and turmoil.

Some news is kept secret, but eventually it will be discovered by those who are interested.

For example, Luo Wenhuan vomited blood the night before.

To save him, the Luo family invited a Taoist priest from the Qingxu Taoist Palace outside Pingyang City to treat him.

After taking a single elixir, Luo Wenhuan's spirits were restored, his face glowed, and he appeared even more excited than before he was injured.

Upon hearing the news, Ning Siyu let out a long sigh of relief in the courtyard.

Fortunately, I managed to stabilize my Dao heart, so I didn't suffer the same mental and physical exhaustion as Luo Wenhuan and end up with a great loss.

When people discover that there are competitors at the same level who are at the bottom of their class, they always feel a little bit of luck.

Ning Siyu sent a letter back to the capital, reflecting on the current situation there. He felt fortunate, but also shook his head and sighed softly.

On the day Cui Yunqi emerged from seclusion, after learning of the recent news, he sneered and said, "Luo Wenhuan must have taken some kind of potent medicine; he's really courting death!"

With such a narrow mind, you dare to compete with my brother Chen for the top scholar title? Ha, how laughable.

After reading Chen Xu's "The Miraculous Craftsmanship," Mo Huaizhang remained silent for a long time before instructing his subordinates:

"Find the best craftsmen and have them survey all the fields around our house. Place the dragon-bone waterwheels in all the suitable locations."

The steward was alarmed and couldn't help but advise, "Young master, if the dragon bone waterwheel is fully installed, it will probably be a considerable expense."

This item is only available as blueprints and appears only in storybooks. Do you think... we should make a few samples first before discussing full installation?

Mo Huaizhang said unhappily, "Pingyang Prefecture has not had rain for many days, and even the water level of the Yuancang River has dropped. The farming season is urgent and cannot be delayed for a moment."

Now that the dragon-bone waterwheel has appeared, how can there be any reason to delay? Go quickly!

There was one more thing he didn't explain.

On that day, Chen Xu used his painting to create a cloud of smoke that rose into the sky over Canxing Lake, witnessed by thousands of people. This event cannot be faked.

The dragon-bone waterwheel can even be said to have been recognized by heaven and earth.

No one expected that Chen Xu would attach the dragon bone waterwheel to the end of the storybook and publish it publicly!

On the day the news of the painting turning into blue smoke spread, countless people went to great lengths and used all sorts of means to try and uncover the full secrets of the dragon bone waterwheel.

However, Chen Xu's whereabouts are shrouded in mystery, and his whereabouts are difficult to find.

At the time, people inevitably thought that Chen Xu might have deliberately hidden his identity because he did not want to publish his work.

But who would have thought that although Chen Xuren never showed his face, his paintings would be presented to the world in such an unexpected way.

By the time many people realized what was happening, the story of "The Miraculous Craftsmanship" had already spread throughout much of Tiannan Road.

Even if some people are determined to keep the secrets to themselves, it is no longer possible.

Among them, the Cui family's Shiqu Bookstore was under considerable pressure.

Fortunately, Cui Yunqi has emerged from seclusion, and although the Cui family does not have much power in Pingyang City, they have a solid foundation, and Consort Cui is also in charge of Yujing Tiandu.

This back and forth continued several times.

Finally, the outcome of this matter was that Cui Yunqi distributed the printing of the novel "The Miraculous Craftsmanship" to various organizations, inviting them to print the book together and increasing the print run of "The Miraculous Craftsmanship".

However, although the printing of the book has come to a temporary end, the real turmoil brought about by "The Wonderful Craftsmanship" is far from over.

One point that is also worth noting is—

Yes, "The Legend of the Craftsman" is an ongoing legendary novel.

So far, Chen Xu has only written the first volume, and the subsequent plot has yet to be seen.

Just as the protagonist Meng Zhou was about to make official contact with the Tiangong Division and usher in the first major turning point in his life, the story abruptly ended at such an exciting moment.
How many scholars smashed their books and cursed Chen Xu as "inhuman"!
However, this matter is difficult to quantify.

What's most infuriating is that with the provincial examination just around the corner, Chen Xu will definitely be fully focused on the exam in the near future.

In that case, when will he be able to write the second volume of "The Wonderful Craftsmanship"?

This is so frustrating!

At the same time, more and more people are starting to try making dragon bone waterwheels.

Mo Huaizhang is not the only one.

Yesterday, Yu Zhi was also solemnly reminded by his teacher after school.

The master said, "Go and find some excellent craftsmen and ask them to make the dragon bone waterwheel for you as soon as possible. Your family's land may still be saved."

Yu Zhi was momentarily stunned.

Unlike Mo Huaizhang, who was well-informed and knew about the extraordinary nature of the dragon bone waterwheel from the beginning, he was not as well-informed.

Until now, he had only regarded the dragon-bone waterwheel as a fictional object from a storybook, something he merely watched for entertainment. It wasn't until the teacher returned the book to him that Yu Zhi turned to the back of the book and saw the thick stack of drawings.

Yu Zhi's eyes were blurry, and he was about to faint.

His heart was pounding excitedly.

Although he wasn't very studious, he wasn't stupid.

Finally, in a daze, I understood what kind of opportunity the book in my hand represented.

My heart was pounding and my head was spinning.

Unbelievable, yet willing to believe.

He mustered all his strength and shouted, "Master, I will go back now. I will never come back until I have built the dragon bone waterwheel!"

I will definitely present you with an excellent answer sheet, Master, please wait for me…

He laughed heartily and ran briskly.

Only Master Yuan was left behind, staring wide-eyed.

Hey, this kid.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the mighty Yuancang River.

It was an extremely dangerous place in the world, rarely visited by humans, where countless turbulent currents converged, raging torrents washed over it, abyss-like ravines existed, and invisible calamities gathered.

It seems to be the human world, yet it is not.

It seems unlike anything in the human world, yet it exists right here among us.

Deep within the ravine, a colossal, dark creature coiled and lay silently.

It didn't look like a living creature; its head drooped at the bottom of the mud and sand.

But its body seemed to be undulating slightly, and with each inhale, a large amount of water was drawn in.

Furthermore, the flow of calamity was like the ever-changing winds and clouds.

Occasionally, unknown underwater monsters would follow the aura of calamity and come looking for the giant creature, but before they could even get close, they would be uncontrollably swept away by the rapidly churning water.

Then, with a scream, the demon's body disintegrated, and its soul vanished.

The deep ravines at the bottom of the river seem to have become a forbidden zone for life.

Everything develops so naturally, flowing with the natural course.

This includes the fact that there had been no rain for several days, which caused the water level to drop.

Furthermore, the Tianjian Division of Tiannan Road even predicted that there would be insufficient moisture this year, and the Yuancang River would not be at risk of breaching its banks again.

Yao Xing, the Left Provincial Governor of Tiannan Circuit, recently acquired a new magical object.

Consuming this spiritual substance can extend one's lifespan by sixty years.

Although Yao Xing was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) with a high position and great power, he had already broken through to the Core Formation stage. If he could rely on his official position and the nation's fortune, he might even be able to fight against a True Monarch in the Gathering Spirit stage.

But he is already over eighty years old this year.

My life is short; I am old and frail.

The position of Left Provincial Administration Commissioner was originally intended as a retirement post for him.

Therefore, in all matters concerning Tiannan Province, he has always been quite accommodating to the Right Provincial Governor.

If that's the case, what could be more important than his lifespan?

Upon receiving the spiritual object, Yao Xing immediately decided to go into seclusion.

Even with the provincial examination imminent, even amidst turbulent times.

Even at such a crucial moment.

But Yao Xing couldn't resist the temptation of extending his lifespan by sixty years; he wasn't even confident he could keep this magical artifact for long.

Some things, if you don't eat them, there will be plenty of people who will rush to eat them for you.

Even though Yao Xing was a second-rank official.

But that's an extension of sixty years of life!
Ask anyone in the world today, who doesn't want to prolong their life?
Even emperors are not immune.

With a rumble, the sealed room shut.

July 1st has arrived.
