I changed the world.

The original Lishan Grotto-Heaven has now been renamed Kunlun Grotto-Heaven. All the buildings within have been restored, even the smallest details have been meticulously maintained. There are over twenty large buildings, including the Scripture Hall, Ancestral Hall, Bell Tower, Main Hall, Side Hall, Rear Hall, Altar, Observatory, Bell Tower, Mountain Gate, and Dining Hall, along with numerous smaller structures. The building materials used are a mix of old and new, with most components utilizing older materials as much as possible, giving the overall style a rustic and ancient feel. Amidst the veil of clouds, it exudes the air of a celestial sect…

Although the name has been changed, at this time, apart from Zhang Taihe and his disciple Zhang Jing, no outsiders would enter Kunlun Grotto-heaven. Therefore, the surroundings remained extremely quiet, even silent. All the maintenance work was done by the grotto-heaven's servants.

Zhang Jing appeared in the cave, on the plaza below the mountain gate. He looked around for a moment, then leaped up the mountain...

................................................

Tai Xuan Hall.

This place originally belonged to a side hall on the mountain. After it was built, the interior was empty and its purpose was still undecided. Now, under Zhang Taihe's leadership, the interior has been completely renovated.

Despite its catchy name, this is actually a temporary laboratory.

Zhang Taihe used it as an alchemy laboratory to restore the technology and craftsmanship of ancient terracotta figurines.

Originally, such a sensitive experiment should have been placed in a more secluded location, since it involves one of Zhang Jing's biggest secrets. However, since Zhang Jing has not yet had time to complete the repairs of his other grotto-heavens, and considering that it would be even less safe to place it in the real world, and since Zhang Taihe's Changchun Grotto-heavens is actually where all the fellow disciples go for classes every month, the Kunlun Grotto-heavens is currently the quietest and most secluded place. Therefore, the laboratory will be temporarily placed here, and the entire laboratory will be moved there when a better location becomes available.

The prototype of this laboratory was actually a laboratory discovered in the original cave ruins during the reconstruction of Changchun Temple. After research, it was determined to be an ancient alchemical laboratory used to study terracotta figurine technology. Unfortunately, it was damaged by external forces.

The Tai Xuan Hall today is a reconstruction based on the original layout of that laboratory.

When Zhang Jing arrived at the Tai Xuan Hall, he found several people wearing white coats busy at work.

It has to be said that it's a bit surreal to see someone wearing a white coat conducting experiments in a cultivation sect. But that's how it is for now. After all, no one has ever seen how the ancient people conducted their experiments. Even Zhang Jing, who has regained his memories of his past life, didn't participate in similar experiments in that era, nor did he see how they were conducted.

Therefore, many operating procedures still follow the operating procedures of modern laboratories.

As for how these operating procedures were carried out, they were naturally not formulated by Zhang Taihe. After all, Zhang Taihe was a Taoist priest in his previous life and not a professional in this field. Even though he was already a fourth-level cultivator, when it came to conducting experiments, everyone has their own expertise, and professional matters still require more specialized personnel...

Fortunately, Zhang Jing had a way to bring in talent.

Currently, besides Zhang Taihe, several other cultivators are busy on the second floor of the Tai Xuan Hall. They all look like professionals. There is one second-tier terracotta warrior and three first-tier terracotta warriors here. Although the number is not large, the quality is quite high.

Li Tingyuan, courtesy name Zihe, was an academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of the Zhao Empire in his previous life, a leading authority in biology. Not long ago, he passed away peacefully in the Imperial Hospital in the capital due to multiple organ failure at the age of 93. Although it may seem a bit heartless, it was truly an "unexpected joy" for Zhang Jing. Therefore, upon learning the news, he transformed him into a terracotta figure.

Fan Lun, courtesy name Yuanzhong, was an authority in the fields of imperial engineering technology and experimental physics in his previous life, and a doctoral supervisor at the Capital University of Science and Technology. Rumors circulated that he was a strong contender for the next academician of the Imperial Academy of Engineering. However, his death was rather bizarre. It was said that he was involved in a love triangle with his female doctoral student, which was exposed. Then, the female doctoral student's newlywed husband came to his door and stabbed him seventeen times. He died despite attempts to save him and was buried without even a proper funeral...

Zeng Yuting, courtesy name Hanbo, was a top student in her previous life who studied at the Royal Academy of Sciences in the Luen Empire. She was a PhD in mathematics and a master's degree in physics. After graduating, she returned to the Zhao Empire to teach at Songjiang University. However, she developed depression, partly due to relationship problems and partly due to her family's hereditary disease. In the end, she chose to commit suicide by jumping into a river.

Shunji Oda, an international student, was a PhD in biology who graduated from Imperial Nanyang Institute of Technology. After graduation, he joined a pharmaceutical company as a core R&D staff member. His cause of death was an accidental car accident.

Of the four people mentioned above, Li Tingyuan is a level two terracotta warrior, while the other three are level one terracotta warriors. Zhang Jing has positioned them all as researchers, so they don't need to be terracotta warriors of a very high level. At the same time, the low-level terracotta warriors in Zhang Jing's possession can be converted into part of his strength.
