I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"There is a myth that says: the world we live in was transformed from the body of a giant god after his death, and the human body is similar to that of the giant god. There is also a saying that: every meridian in the human body should have a corresponding existence in the earth, and this is the earth vein."

"In the human body, when blood vessels are unobstructed, the body is not in pain; when the body is in pain, it is because blood vessels are not unobstructed. Based on this, it can be inferred that if the earth's veins are blocked, it will also cause changes in the earth."

"so……"

"Therefore, I thought of relying on the flow of the human body's meridians to cast the same kind of object on the earth to gather the earth's veins, so that they could be connected like the human body's meridians, allowing the earth's energy to flow freely."

"I understand!"

I understand now.

Bai Zhou intended to concentrate the power of the entire Great Yan land into one person, and then use this great power to quell all possible great disasters.

He can become a god through this!

"Have you identified a specific target for selecting the key locations for the earth's veins?"

Just as meridians are interconnected, so too are the earth's veins. If a poorly chosen location is selected, the flow of these veins will be blocked, rendering all efforts futile.

"some."

Bai Zhou raised his hand, and his Ao energy transformed into an incredibly detailed map on the table, marking the entire terrain of the Great Yan Kingdom.

"The point where I chose to gather the energy is the Five Sacred Mountains and the Four Great Rivers."

"The Five Sacred Mountains and the Four Great Rivers?"

Nian leaned over to look at the map.

The area is characterized by undulating peaks and interconnected rivers and lakes.

The five most prominent mountains are the Five Sacred Mountains mentioned during the day.

The four waterways that connect the north and south are known as the Four Rivers.

The Five Sacred Mountains are Heng, Hua, Song, Tai, and Heng.

The four rivers are the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the Ji River.

"Hmm... these places are indeed all beautiful and serene, and compared to other locations, they are the most suitable to serve as pulse points."

Nian asked again:

"What kind of tool do you want to use to gather the energy?"

The container that holds the earth's veins cannot be chosen arbitrarily.

"The weapons are too ferocious, and the tools are too mediocre."

Using ominous objects can make people overly aggressive and ultimately controlled by negative emotions.

Using mediocre tools can cause people to lose their ambition and eventually become just another ordinary person.

By uttering just one word during the day, he dispelled the year's concerns.

"tripod."

"The cauldron... is wonderful!"

Upon hearing Bai Zhou's choice, Nian couldn't help but clap and cheer!

The ding (鼎) was originally a vessel for cooking food. Water boiling inside the ding is called "ding fei" (鼎沸), which is a metaphor for noise and chaos.

However, the ding was not merely a cooking vessel; it was also a ritual vessel placed in ancestral temples and altars for sacrificial rites.

The ding (鼎) is known for its size and weight, so "ding" also signifies grandeur, as in the phrase "鼎盛" (dǐngshèng, meaning flourishing).

Because of the importance of the "ding" (鼎), it is often used as a metaphor for the throne and imperial enterprise, such as in the phrase "asking about the ding".

The ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel) also symbolizes state power.

The character 鼎 also implies renewal, as in the phrase 鼎故革新 (to innovate and reform).

Therefore, using the ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel) as a vessel to contain the earth's veins is neither overly radical nor mediocre.

A tripod is undoubtedly the best choice!

"Of the Five Sacred Mountains and the Four Great Rivers, I wish to cast nine tripods to contain their veins."

In broad daylight, he raises his hand, his fingertips sliding along the map, revealing a cauldron wherever he goes.

Once all nine tripods have appeared, countless golden threads will connect the entire land.

The nine tripods resonated in unison, echoing the harmony of heaven and earth.

"Finally, at Tianyue, I will use my own body as the tenth cauldron, gather the power of the nine cauldrons, and concentrate the earth veins of the Great Yan into my body to accomplish this great undertaking."

"This is getting interesting!"

I felt my listless body had been rekindled.

Bai Zhou's idea shocked her, but it also successfully ignited her enthusiasm and passion.

Nian liked "casting and creating things".

She liked everything, from weapons of war to tools for national prosperity.

And now, a tremendous opportunity is presented to her.

To cast a tool with such magnificent power.

She had to consider whether this might be her only chance in her life.

"Xiao Bai, how confident are you that you can accomplish this?"

"With Sister Nian's help, I have a 99% chance of success."

He responded confidently during the day.

"Then what about the remaining little bit?"

Such a great undertaking has a zero chance of success unless it is absolutely certain.

“I fear that I will have already found the gentleman before then.”

Bai Zhou stroked the fine pen in his hand and sighed softly.

“I’m afraid that if I find my husband, I will back down because of my attachment to love.”

Involving personal feelings in important matters has always been a major taboo.

Without emotions, humans have no weaknesses.

When you have emotions, you start to think more.

If Bai Zhou were to find Xi Hui after he had gone to heaven, he would retreat during the perilous ascension process, thus failing at the last hurdle and even being shattered to pieces.

"……here we go again."

Helpless, Nian sat back in his chair, silently tapping his palm with his fan as he looked at the sorrowful daylight.

This novice is good at everything, except that she becomes anxious and insecure whenever her clumsy younger sister is involved.

Human love is truly a double-edged sword.

"Ah, my apologies, Sister Nian."

Bai Zhou quickly snapped out of his thoughts.

"Hmm... I've made up my mind, Sister Nian."

After tidying up my energy and spirit during the day, I look back at the year.

"Until this instrument is cast, let's... hold off on looking for the master for now."

"you sure?"

"It's confirmed."

Bai Zhou looked at the fine pen in his hand, his eyes filled with love.

"I have waited for thirty years, and a little more time will make a difference."

The year was another surprise.

She was surprised by Bai Tian's decisiveness.

Love and romance are the most troublesome things; they are impossible to untangle or resolve.

But Bai Zhou just let it go without hesitation...

"Hmm...you've impressed me again, Xiaobai."

He's a promising talent!

"Then, please give me your guidance on how to forge the tripod."

"nature."

“It’s not just the cauldron. I also need to polish you, this raw piece, more in order to cast the cauldron that best suits you.”

Nian got up and squeezed Bai Zhou's right arm, then smiled.

"You've got quite a muscular build."

"I've been working out recently."

"Then let me see it!"

"Ugh?"

Bai Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then his shirt was grabbed and half-ripped off by Nian.

"Wow! Not bad, not bad, very interesting."

Nian held Bai Zhou's right arm with one hand and gently squeezed it with the other.

The distribution and details of muscles, blood vessels, and bones gradually took shape in her mind.

"Sister Nian, isn't having the upper body enough?"

"How could that be? Or do you want to become a cripple with difficulty walking in the future?"

Looking at Bai Zhou, who was clutching his waistband and didn't want to take it off, Nian stared at him in confusion.

"Hey? What's there to hide! I've seen it all in my life."

Nian already had a general idea of ​​the shape of the Nine Cauldrons in his mind. At this moment, he was really anxious and could not allow Bai Zhou to waste time. Seeing that he was unmoved, he directly stepped forward and took action himself.
