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

Chapter 335 Exchange Meeting

To be honest, after seeing these "light sources" clearly, Shen Xing had a momentary urge to bring some disciples from the academy's home planet over for "further study".

Only after careful consideration did I realize that it was unnecessary.

If it's truly a small group of elites, with their current capabilities, they could easily provide even better resources. The advantage of this "light source" technology lies in its widespread availability; once the technology is learned, it's all that's needed.

Besides the most eye-catching "spectacle" overhead, there are many other things in the entire Lian Tian Fang region that amaze Shen Xing.

The overall style is not much different from that mysterious "branch" in the Eastern Ruins.

Various spiritual herbs are grown in the wild, and high-level martial artists are scattered throughout, while the city itself serves as an "academy" to cultivate low-level martial artists.

However, in terms of technical level, there is a visible gap compared to what I have seen before.

The entire wilderness is covered with array patterns. Each spiritual herb has its own space and is cultivated in a unique way, allowing many high-level spiritual herbs that originally required special environments to be cultivated to be intensively cultivated here.

The array patterns alone, which are spread throughout the entire region, must have required an immense amount of resources, manpower, and materials.

This can be seen as a symbol of "liberation of productive forces" in another field.

"How long did it take to build it to this state?" Shen Xing couldn't help but turn to Tian Yanzi and ask.

"Indeed, it has been an incredibly long time. From the very first experimental field, eighty thousand years have passed!" Tian Yanzi said with a hint of pride. "In the entire world, only we could create such a miracle. The path of martial arts requires struggle, but it doesn't necessarily have to be about competing with others. We can compete with nature, with the world, and with ourselves!"

Hong Hao and his two companions, who had also entered the cockpit not far away, were also intrigued upon hearing these words.

Because the Federation of Humanities actually holds a similar view.

Many researchers believe that while the path of a martial artist is indeed one of struggle, it is essentially about cultivating an emotion that resonates more deeply with vital energy. If one can grasp the underlying principles, perhaps one day a "strong person living in a honey pot" will emerge.

While this may not be a good thing from the perspective of social resource allocation, from the perspective of social order and stability, this understanding can accelerate the development of martial arts.

Clearly, the current situation at Liantianfang is a confirmation of this understanding.

At least, the Lian Tian Fang sect clearly doesn't have the kind of martial prowess that other sects uphold.

Technology, financial resources, and wisdom can all bring extraordinary status here.

Suddenly, Shen Xing and the others became even more interested in this place, and everyone was filled with anticipation.

When the first "city" appeared before them, its size and appearance did not disappoint them.

What comes into view are fantastical cities that overlap, float, and are spectacular.

Yes, fantasy.

Many colossal buildings defy basic architectural principles, fixed in place in incredible forms. Some are even floating, forming a clear boundary with the rest of the buildings. Visible inscriptions intertwine with each other, chaotic yet orderly, making the entire city look like a giant array.

"These cities, apart from the final spatial sealing, can all be considered as secret realms," Tian Yanzi proudly introduced from the side. "The one in front of us is the masterpiece of the 'Secret Realm Refining Workshop,' which is also the refining workshop I am currently in."

"These many secret realms are indeed profound." Shen Xing thought of the appearance of the ancient secret realm he had visited before and couldn't help but nod.

The enormous, realistic illusion, and the power that seemed to allow for stable spatial teleportation at any time, were no less advanced than the Federation's technology, and in some areas, they even far surpassed the current limits of the Federation's technology.

"Young Master Shen, why don't we just park this spaceship over there?" Tian Yanzi pointed in a certain direction. "I manage the entire 'Tian Yan City,' and that area is my private territory. If we park it there, no one can say anything."

So this city was originally called Tianyan City?

Shen Xing glanced at Tian Yanzi, not surprised that he had that name.

As a powerful expert in the late stage of the seventh realm, Tian Yanzi is also a seventh-grade weapon refiner, and he must have a very high status in the Refining Heaven Workshop.

I'm afraid he's managing more than just one city.

Shen Xing nodded, indicating that he had no intention of doing anything in this place.

If one really wants to do something within this Refining Heaven Workshop, then Tian Yanzi will likely play a significant role.

Therefore, his attitude towards Tian Yanzi was quite friendly from the very beginning.

but--

Shen Xing glanced at the virtual map and laughed, "It seems our arrival has indeed attracted quite a bit of attention. Why is it like this?"

That's right, from the very beginning, some red dots that followed were clearly marked on the map.

Among them were many sages.

There are more than forty saints who are currently watching them closely with their divine sense.

It's likely that, aside from those in seclusion or currently refining weapons and pills, almost all the saints in the entire Refining Heaven Workshop have come to take a look.

Tian Yanzi was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't show it. He just smiled and said, "Young Master Shen is a distinguished guest who has not appeared in the entire Central Ruins for tens of thousands of years. It is normal for him to attract attention. However, Young Master Shen should not care."

Clearly, even though they had only met briefly, he had already discerned some of Shen Xing's personality.

Putting everything else aside, their confidence and composure are almost overflowing.

Ordinary days and nights, no matter how proud they may be, could not remain calm and composed amidst a group of sages, let alone firmly grasp the initiative and become the center of attention among them.

Shen Xing smiled and said, "Since everyone in Liantianfang is so curious, why don't we organize an exchange meeting? Everyone above the Sun and Moon level in Liantianfang can come. We will bring out some 'Secret Treasures of Investigation' and even some profound inheritances of investigation, so that we can exchange information and deepen our understanding."

"If that's the case, then that would be wonderful!" Tian Yanzi was overjoyed.

To be honest, given his status and strength, his respect for Shen Xing, even bordering on ingratiating, was certainly not because of Shen Xing's strength, or because of the strength of that Wenren Martial Venerable.

Even if you can't beat them, you can always hide.

But isn't the reason they're squeezing in like this precisely because this young master Shen holds a "world truth" that he finds extremely interesting, seemingly even more profound than martial arts?

Wenren Wuzun also pursued the martial arts path, not the pursuit of truth. Even so, the slightest bit of inheritance revealed by his fingertips amazed him and left him completely mesmerized.

How many profound secrets could be passed down through such an exchange meeting?

Putting everything else aside, he was amazed by many parts of the spaceship and felt an urge to explore it further.

If it weren't for his tens of thousands of years of experience, Tian Yanzi would have been eager to start communicating as soon as possible.

Even though he couldn't contain his excitement, he didn't hold back his expectations.

"I believe that the entire Liantianfang will be in an uproar because of this. As long as Young Master Shen can come up with something impressive enough, he will definitely be able to accomplish what he wants to do. No matter how Liantianfang changes or how many interests are involved, it is ultimately a place that pursues the truth." Tian Yanzi's words were a heartfelt confession.

He knew Shen Xing's purpose, but he didn't care about it. As long as Lian Tian Fang could maintain its essence, it didn't matter to him or many of its members who had any interests or entanglements with it.

Shen Xing also had a friendly smile.

"I will not let down the many seniors of Liantianfang."

To the average person, attempting to break into the existing order of the Central Ruins by starting with a unique behemoth like the Refining Heaven Workshop might seem like an impossible, even foolish, endeavor.

However, in Shen Xing and Wenren Caifeng's view, this matter was not as difficult as it seemed.

Moreover, it has immeasurable and enormous benefits.

Because the Refining Heaven Workshop is somewhat out of place in this world where martial arts reign supreme. In essence, it is closer to the Human Federation. In fact, it can be said that it is like a middle ground between the Human Federation and this martial arts civilization, and the best breakthrough point.

Subsequently, in a harmonious atmosphere, Shen Xing and the others were led into the city of Tianyan.

The most luxurious accommodations have been arranged.

They even arranged identities for the four of them in the shortest possible time.

Shen Xing was naturally a "student," someone from an external force who came to study. However, he was given the highest level of access right from the start, which was the limit for a "student." He could learn all the techniques below the seventh realm, and apart from not being able to take the inheritance with him, he could learn as much as he wanted.

Hong Hao and the other two were "advisors".

There are only four people with this identity in the entire Liantianfang at present.

It was Hong Hao and his two companions, plus Wenren Caifeng.

However, these rules were not specifically prepared for Wenren Caifeng, the Martial Venerable. Instead, they have historical precedents, dating back tens of thousands of years to the early days of the Lian Tian Fang. In order to accumulate its heritage, it offered generous conditions to attract alchemists and weapon refiners from many other forces to join as advisors.

Later, as Liantianfang grew stronger, and its members were allowed to affiliate with other forces, the existence of "advisors" gradually disappeared.

But now, there is no identity more suitable for Hong Hao and his companions.

Having acquired identities, Shen Xing and the others undoubtedly had greater freedom of movement.

Therefore, they directly devoted themselves to the vast and profound technological heritage of the Refining Heaven Workshop.

It must be said that before he learned about it, Shen Xing's understanding of the technological field of this martial arts civilization was far too narrow. Now that he has learned a little, he realizes that this civilization also has an incredibly brilliant and profound history of development.

The variety of extraordinary technological fields dazzled Shen Xing.

There are tens of thousands of different technical types for the sword-type divine weapon alone, and the variety of sword-type divine weapons that have been forged is even more diverse and countless.

Not to mention even more profound techniques such as formations and secret realms.

This made Shen Xing realize that if he really wanted to make "weapon refiner" a side profession, he would have to be prepared to expend a lot of energy.

However, this is indeed very interesting.

Weapon refiners are different from alchemists. Inscription, as a unique martial arts concept, can also play a huge role in various fields.

In Shen Xing's view, some of the related traditions are quite wonderful.

For example, one type of healing rune can be used not only to create healing magical weapons and artifacts, but also directly as a supernatural power.

For example, if you have weather runes, once you master them, you can even directly control the wind and rain.

Even inscriptions like "passing through walls," "changing," and "spying" are present.

Compared to the martial arts realm I was previously aware of, "weapon refiner" is more like a profession that wields complex magic.

When combined with martial arts skills, it can sometimes unleash even greater power.

Even if you can't forge any powerful divine weapons by making it a secondary profession, it can still greatly expand your capabilities.

Moreover, Shen Xing was not without any foundation.

Don't forget, he is someone who inherited the legacy of an ancient weapon refiner.

All those ancient inscriptions were memorized in his mind, but he didn't know how to use them before. However, after supplementing his basic knowledge of weapon refiners, Shen Xing's expertise in weapon refining inscriptions has skyrocketed.

For a moment, I was completely absorbed in it.

Meanwhile, news of the exchange meeting spread throughout the entire Liantianfang without anyone noticing.

Although the exchange meeting only allowed martial artists at the Sun and Moon Realm and above to participate, it wasn't just those at the Sun and Moon Realm who were paying attention to it; almost all the disciples of the Refining Heaven Workshop engaged in a heated discussion.

There's no way around it; Shen Xing is indeed a hot topic in the current Lian Tian Fang.

Even the spaceship parked above Tian Yanzi's private territory was watched by a large number of martial artists from afar every day. Some martial artists with considerable strength even dared to use their divine sense to investigate without any hesitation, only to be greatly surprised by the divine sense interference device, and then became even more interested.

It can block the divine sense perception of a saint without using any inscriptions.

That alone is enough to generate enough buzz.

However, amidst this atmosphere of eager anticipation, there were also dissenting voices.

Even after Shen Xing was immersed in his studies and delayed announcing the specific date of the exchange meeting, the discussion within the Refining Heaven Workshop subtly shifted over time.

More and more people and voices are beginning to question the authenticity of the so-called "inheritance of knowledge".

Clearly, the arrival of Shen Xing and his group ultimately affected the interests of many people.

So much so that later on, when Shen Xing was dressed as an ordinary student and walking around the city, he could occasionally hear some "disturbing" discussions.
