In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 205 A Surprise of Talent

Once you break through the third realm, you can easily break through the array barrier of this level! And now the entire Dragon Valley is under your control, it's just a matter of time.

If the fourth-grade elixir arrives in time...

"In less than two months, I will be able to attempt to break through to the third realm!" Shen Xing's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

too fast!

This speed was too fast, even by his standards!

To this day, he has not been cultivating for eight months, while the previous record for the fastest breakthrough to the third realm on the academy's home planet was thirteen months!

He can break the record by almost four months in one go!

It is conceivable that this will cause a further sensation within the academy's home planet.

Upon reaching the third realm, even within the Human Federation, one can attain a certain status as a "master," and in most otherworldly battlefields, one can be considered a pillar of strength.

In just one year, they have achieved such a level of success. Even Shen Xing himself is full of hope for the future.

However, we still need to be down-to-earth.

On that very day, Cao Qiyun and her group arrived, accompanied by a team of martial artists. They were responsible for directing the martial artists to construct buildings in Dragon Valley, as well as dividing the area and recording and collecting rare and precious materials.

These are all trivial matters, but without trustworthy servants, they can cause some trouble.

Fortunately, there weren't many problems if the task was handed over to Cao Qiyun and the other three.

While Shen Xing was further cultivating, the rumors of the Mountain and Sea Realm divine weapon began to spread throughout the entire Sacred Lake Region. However, this time, only the major powers were truly affected. For the vast majority of ordinary martial artists, there was not much difference between the Spirit Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm.

But those major powers, and even medium-sized powers, are already getting restless.

Just like in Wu Yu, all sorts of congratulatory gifts were sent to Dragon Valley, especially martial arts artifacts and rare treasures related to dragons, whose prices skyrocketed.

However, apart from fourth-grade dragon-type pills, Shen Xing doesn't really have much else to worry about right now.

Therefore, the two fourth-grade alchemists put aside all other alchemy requests and focused on refining the pills he needed.

The first batch will arrive in less than ten days.

As for the Crimson Dragon Soul Tempering Pill alone, with the harvest from Dragon Valley, they actually gathered enough medicinal materials for a full twenty batches!

Even if you fail a few times, you will eventually obtain at least a hundred pills!

When Shen Xing found out, all he could say was that when everyone works together, amazing results can always be achieved.

Besides that, the hottest topic sweeping the entire Sacred Lake Region recently is naturally Shen Xing's recruitment of followers.

Faced with the divine weapons of the Mountain and Sea Realm, this has become an opportunity for many to rise to the top in one step.

It wasn't just the various independent cultivators who considered themselves talented; even the prodigies from powerful forces, and even the princes and nobles of the imperial dynasty, all flocked towards Dragon Valley.

Some even arrived within just a few days.

Shen Xing naturally didn't have that much time to review each case individually. He was currently completely immersed in cultivation and simply handed over the initial review to Cao Qiyun and the others.

There are only two requirements: loyalty and potential!

He will only take the time to personally "interview" someone if he encounters someone who is exceptionally amazing.

However, Shen Xing did not expect that just ten days after conquering Dragon Valley, he would encounter two exceptionally talented geniuses.

"Dan Yao and Qi Yao?" Shen Xing looked at the man and woman in front of him. "Are you twins?"

"Yes, sir."

These are two people who look quite alike. The woman is dressed in a blue dress, tall and slender, with gentle eyebrows and a graceful and generous temperament, while the man is muscular, with sharp eyes and a scholarly air.

More importantly, these two are from the Artifact Refining Pavilion, and they are the two most outstanding prodigies of the new generation!

Even their names reveal the expectations the Qidan Pavilion has for the two of them.

Both of them were only in their thirties, yet their strength had already reached the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, and they had even mastered the third-grade pill formula and the third-grade inscription!

Even Shen Xing understood what this meant.

The formulas for pills and the inscriptions can, to some extent, be categorized as martial arts concepts. To master the third grade at the second level without a learning device is an absolute testament to one's exceptional talent and brilliance in terms of related comprehension.

"I never expected that such a small place as the Holy Lake Region could produce such a genius." Shen Xing was indeed somewhat surprised at this moment.

For him, recruiting followers in this world was simply a matter of having them do some trivial tasks.

There's really no hope in terms of strength.

No matter how many followers he trains, they can't keep up with his personal growth. The fact that he can recruit strong individuals means that he has already mastered even greater power.

However, there is one exception.

That is, research-oriented talents.

Although Shen Xing himself intended to make weapon refiner a side job, it was only a side job. In fact, during the period when his strength was still developing rapidly, he would definitely focus on his strength.

So we can only postpone it further.

However, its potential is undeniable.

Even alchemy is an example. As we've learned more about it over this period, the Human Federation's technology for utilizing certain resources has become increasingly sophisticated. If we could combine it with alchemy techniques, we might be able to create new miracles.

At this moment, faced with Shen Xing's praise, neither of them showed much reaction. They had long been accustomed to such praise since childhood. However, the elder of the Artifact and Pill Pavilion raised his hand respectfully and said, "Thank you for your praise, young master. We are indeed worried that keeping these two in the Holy Lake Region will hinder their talents. It seems that only by going to a wider area can they have a better future. Therefore, both our Artifact and Pill Pavilion and the two of them are willing to follow you, young master."

"You two are quite magnanimous." Shen Xing looked at the two of them again, and after a brief examination, he could also sense their arrogance.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly twice.

It's normal to be arrogant; it only further demonstrates their strength.

"Then stay." He flipped his hand and took out two books, casually tossing them over. "Take these two confidential documents. They are both my reward and a test. If you are not loyal enough, then no matter how much potential you have, you will not be welcome here."

One book is "Extraction of Extraordinary Materials", and the other is "Smelting of Extraordinary Materials".

These are all translated foundational disciplines of extraordinary pharmacology and extraordinary materials science, representing the technological essence of the Human Federation's more than two thousand years of experience in martial arts. For alchemists and weapon refiners in this world, they are enough to open up a completely new world in another aspect.

Shen Xing was somewhat looking forward to the two people's subsequent reactions.

If someone has a truly good character, then it's not impossible to focus on nurturing them.

At least, the so-called strongest weapon refiner in Wu Yu was indeed somewhat lacking in talent, and even if he devoted his entire life to it, he might not be able to achieve anything significant in the fusion of technologies from the two worlds.

Once we are strong enough, perhaps we can truly create a secret research institute, bringing together research talents from both worlds to create even more powerful and brilliant extraordinary civilization technologies.

As for the present, let's treat it as an unexpected surprise and look forward to it.

However, Shen Xing ultimately underestimated the impact of these two fundamental technologies.

After returning, Dan Yao and Qi Yao only glanced at the book before becoming completely immersed in this incredible new world.

"A deep dive into the extraordinary properties of each molecular component under the influence of primordial forces reveals a surprisingly sophisticated device."

"How is it possible to smelt at a temperature of 200 million degrees Celsius?"

Just three days later, the two of them came to Shen Xing again, and even waited outside Shen Xing's cultivation room for a whole day and night.

By the time Shen Xing appeared, their expressions had already changed.

Even the gentle and mild-mannered Dan Yao had a hint of the fervor unique to researchers in her eyes at this moment.

"Young Master Shen, is the technology described here real? Does such equipment really exist?" Dan Yao even rushed directly to Shen Xing with the book in her hands. Despite being a woman in her thirties, she gave Shen Xing the feeling of a studious junior.

Especially that yearning yet puzzled look in his eyes.

"Of course I have them," Shen Xing said with a smile. "And I have some right here."

"That"

"Although these things are not secrets, you should understand their importance to outsiders. It's no exaggeration to say that they could bring about a complete revolution in the entire Dao of Alchemy and the Dao of Weaponry." Shen Xing interrupted Dan Yao, his gaze sweeping over the two of them. "You've only just joined. At the very least, you need to show me your loyalty first."

Dan Yao and Qi Yao's gazes both dimmed slightly.

However, it was only for a very short time.

"If Young Master Shen has any instructions, my brother and I would never dare to disobey," Qi Yao said proactively, even beginning to look forward to Shen Xing giving him a task.

Shen Xing thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Come with me."

He walked straight toward the enormous spaceship.

Both of them knew that the huge spaceship that had been hovering in the sky was a divine weapon of the Mountain and Sea Realm. After realizing that Shen Xing was going to take them there, they were both nervous, but then filled with a faint sense of anticipation.

This action at least shows that Young Master Shen is willing to trust them.

Especially the weapon.

Since arriving here, he has regarded this divine weapon as a sacred object. Even just looking at it from afar excites him, let alone having the opportunity to get closer and see it.

In fact, the behavior of these two people over the past three days was completely monitored by secret surveillance equipment, and AI software was used to conduct a comprehensive personality analysis.

This is the only reason why Shen Xing was willing to give him some trust first.

As for now.

He arrived at the foot of the spaceship and had the intelligent robots on board send down some items.

"Qi Yao, you should study how to add runes to this disassembled armor. And Dan Yao, you should study whether you can enhance the potency of these potions."
