How can one cultivate immortality without learning modern knowledge?

"Young master, this...this is the 'gun'?" Zhang Laosan's eyes widened, trying to find some excitement in the gun held in Zhou Wenju's hand, but he was disappointed.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any lethality in this "gun".

"Yes!" Zhou Wen raised his gun and made an aiming motion.

"But...how do I use it?" Zhang Laosan scratched his head gently.

"There's one more thing!" Zhou Wenju said. "This thing is extraordinary, and I'm only telling you about it for now..."

He whispered something in Zhang Laosan's ear.

Zhang Laosan stared blankly into thought.

"Have you remembered it clearly?" Zhou Wenju asked.

"Got it!"

"Go, find a few people to help us get some over here!"

"yes!"

Zhou Wenju said, "I'll go back to the cave first. Everyone, please continue."

"Alright! I'll keep watch from here." The clan chief said, "Hui Gu, you accompany the young master into the welcoming cave."

"Yes, Father!" The village girl replied, blushing.

Zhou Wenju glanced at the clan chief, then at the village girl. It turned out her name was Hui Gu, and she was the clan chief's daughter.

Upon entering the Hexi Valley, the clan chief did not come to meet him immediately, but his daughter served him the entire time, even willingly washing his feet.

This is the sincerity of Hexi Valley.

We returned to the cave where we had spent one night.

Huigu immediately brought over a tray containing rice, vegetables, fish, meat, and chicken.

"Young master, you really went to Halfway Peak?"

"Um."

"You didn't come back last night."

"I got along quite well with the healer, so I didn't bother trying to do both."

"I knew it, young master and a celestial beauty like her would hit it off..."

"Yes, she's quite cute," Zhou Wenju said.

On the halfway point, the healer's face suddenly turned red...

The little white fox chuckled softly: "Miss, this can be considered an expression of your feelings."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The healer rolled her eyes at her. "He was just saying it casually..."

An hour has passed.

Two hours have passed.

The continuous drizzle finally stopped.

Zhang Laosan rushed over and appeared at the entrance of Zhou Wenju's cave: "Young master, here's what you wanted!"

He was holding a wolfskin bag, wrapped in layers.

Slowly open it, and inside is a pile of powder.

Zhou Wenju rubbed two fingers together lightly, brought them to his nose, and smelled them. Not bad!

The smell of gunpowder!

This is a high-performance gunpowder made by mixing saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal in modern proportions.

The gun, the last piece of the puzzle, is it.

He took out ten semi-finished bullets.

It has cartridge cases and bullets, but no propellant filling.

The ammunition was loaded.

One, two, three, until ten.

The first automatic rifle in this other world was pressed into the one-piece magazine, and it felt quite good in his hand.

"Third brother, let's try out the gun!" Zhou Wenju said.

"Young master, how should we try it?" Zhang Laosan asked.

"Let's go, get out of the cave!"

He came out of the cave, where there were several people, the same young men who had devised the grand plan in the cave that day.

All eyes were focused on the thing Zhou Wenju was holding.

Zhou Wen raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

thumping!

A loud bang was followed by a wisp of very faint blue smoke.

The first gunshot in this other world brought about...

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Because none of them could see the bullet leaving the barrel.

However, halfway up the peak, the little white fox's expression suddenly changed...

Zhang Laosan scratched his head: "Young master, this..."

"Didn't you see the bullet leave the barrel?" Zhou Wenju chuckled lightly. "Look over there!"

The second shot!

With the second shot fired, a small branch suddenly tumbled down from the top of the tallest tree!

Zhang Laosan's expression changed!

After two shots were fired, Zhou Wenju's keen sixth sense helped him correct the trajectory of the bullets.

"I'll shoot you a goose!" Zhou Wenju raised his third shot, pointing it straight to the sky.

thumping!

A wild goose that had just flown overhead suddenly plummeted to its death!

"Oh my god..." Zhang Laosan exclaimed.

The surrounding crowd shouted in unison.

Only now did they truly realize that the thing in Young Master Zhou's hand that looked like a fire poker had fired a terrifying bullet, accurately shooting down a wild goose from the sky.

Wild geese typically fly hundreds of feet in the sky.

Although there are many archers in the Hexi Valley, and countless of them are skilled archers, who can shoot an arrow a hundred feet into the air?

And the gun in his hand—that's it!

Shooting down a wild goose in the sky is as easy as taking something out of a bag.

"Third brother, you guys give it a try!" Zhou Wen raised his hand to the side, handing the gun in his palm to Zhang Laosan.

Following Zhou Wenju's instructions, Zhang Laosan aimed the crosshair.

thumping!

It was also a wild goose that fell.

Next came Li Jun, then Xu Hai…

They shot down all the geese.

It must be said that, as archers from the Hexi Valley, their accuracy is second to none.

The three men looked at Zhou Wenju with eyes full of fanaticism.

Zhou Wenju took the gun: "There's still one bullet left. Huigu, you try it too!"

"Huh?" Hui Gu was taken aback. "I...I don't know how."

"That's why I'm letting you try, precisely because you can't!" Zhou Wenju said. "If you can also fire a gun and kill the enemy, then everyone in the entire Hexi Valley can become a warrior!"

Hui Gu took the gun and aimed it like the men did.

She dared not shoot the geese; instead, she aimed at the large tree ahead...

thumping!

The big tree trembled slightly.

Zhang Laosan moved with the speed of a monkey, quickly running to the big tree and digging out a bullet with his knife. The bullet had penetrated deep into the tree.

Cheers resounded throughout the valley.

Hui Gu held the still-hot bullet, completely dumbfounded.

My God, that's what I shot!

It even penetrated halfway into a tree; what if it hit a person...?

Could I also become a warrior in the valley?

Originally, facing those fierce and menacing people outside, the women, children, and elderly in the valley were all lambs to the slaughter, with no ability to fight back whatsoever.

But it was because of him.

She can also be a warrior.

Even her elderly father could…

She could understand this, so how could Zhang Laosan and the others not? The cheers were deafening. Beside the furnace, countless people scrambled to pull the bellows. Before those in front had even had their fill, a group behind had already stripped naked, waiting to serve in the rain and mist…

This Mo family furnace is truly amazing.

Apart from two steps, the rest do not require manpower.

Which two steps?

First, the material feeding.

Second, the bellows.

Therefore, the villagers could only demonstrate their sense of participation in these two aspects.

Halfway up the peak, the demonic eye shines...

The little white fox and the fairy healer looked at each other in bewilderment...

"Its speed is five times faster than a strong bow, its range is five times greater than an arrow, and it can fire dozens, even hundreds, of bullets in succession, capable of shooting even women and children..." The Healer murmured, "I've stayed on Halfway Peak for five years, and the Mohist school has undergone a complete upheaval?"

She was certainly familiar with the Mohist way of life.

The Mohist school's principle of stopping wars and avoiding aggression is known throughout the world.

Its greatest strength lies in its weaponry.

In the secular battlefield, all it takes is for a Mo family banner to be planted on the city wall, and even at the critical moment when the city is about to fall, the enemy must stop fighting.

Otherwise, the Mohists will always find a way to make you pay a heavy price.

This is the power of the Mohist principles of weaponry and formations.

For example, the repeating crossbow of the Mo family once revolutionized the lethality of bows and arrows.

However, the Mo family's powerful bow and repeating crossbow are nothing compared to this divine weapon called a "spear"!

This gun truly revolutionized the battlefield.

I had never even heard of it before, let alone seen it with my own eyes.

On the battlefield, the effectiveness of any weapon depends on the soldier, except for the effectiveness of this gun, which does not depend on the soldier. This single point changes the nature of war.

That would allow for an unlimited expansion of manpower.

That means wounded soldiers don't have to leave the front lines.

As long as his fingers can still move, he can still fight, and his combat strength will not be affected...

The little white fox let out a soft sigh: "In worldly battles, this spear is the ultimate weapon. Fortunately, it ultimately cannot break through the shackles of the cultivation path; otherwise, the Mohist school would surely dominate the world!"

The healer asked, "In your opinion, this spear can break through the defenses of the Unattainable Dao Mountain Realm?"

"Yes!" the little white fox said, "With the true qi of the Dao Mountain Realm protecting the body, this spear cannot penetrate it. However, it must be said that Young Master Zhou's skill in weapon crafting is truly astonishing."
