Chapter 337 Analysis of Immortal Techniques

Is this a coincidence, or is there something wrong with the spirit platform?

Luo Heng found that he could not accept both explanations - there were only about fifty people in this class, and seven people who could sense qi appeared at once. This ratio was really a bit beyond common sense. If it was the latter... a spirit platform was worth a thousand gold coins. If it was damaged in his hands, he would probably have to pay the debt to the school for the rest of his life.

He decided to try it on himself first.

As the qi was injected, the pointer pointed to the "Dui" position very accurately.

Luo Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the spirit platform looked normal. The conclusion could only be the first one - the fortune of this class was quite amazing, and it happened that seven children with the talent of sensing qi were gathered together. From now on, they will have a completely different life from others.

But... is it really like this?

The age of sensing qi varies, and there are some that span several years. For example, Luo Heng himself did not awaken this ability until he was eleven years old, while those geniuses from aristocratic families had already emerged at the age of five or six. In theory, it is theoretically possible to open your eyes before adulthood.

That's the problem - these kids in front of him are all trying for the first time today. Seven people succeeded in the first attempt, which can't be summed up by coincidence. Even he, who never likes to get to the bottom of things, can't convince himself with this reason.

It can only be said that there must be some reason that led to this abnormal situation.

Luo Heng couldn't help but get tingles all over his body when he thought of this, and an indescribable chill rose from the soles of his feet - it was not because of fear that he felt trembling, but the subconscious trembling of the body when facing an unprecedented change.

If anyone can find this reason, it will surely set off a shocking wave in the magic world.

For some reason, Xia Fan's answer suddenly appeared in his mind again -

"Because once people know the existence of reason, the way people look at the world will change."

...

In the western suburbs of Jinxia, ​​in Fengyang Villa.

After Ning Wanjun led the army to the expedition, she left the entire villa to Xia Fan. In the words of the princess, he has been wandering outside for more than a month, and now it's his turn to go out and get some fresh air.

So the villa became Xia Fan's temporary office. After getting up in the daytime, his first thing was to deal with some difficult-to-decide issues in the affairs bureau, and then the whole morning and afternoon were free time. In the evening, Mo Yun would come to discuss some professional issues about arithmetic and mechanical technology, and the drawings of the magic tools brought back from the Privy Council of the Capital were also handed over to her. After dinner, it was time to communicate with Ning Wanjun. Most of the time, they talked alone, and occasionally they would hold a small meeting to focus on the next strategic plan.

At about nine or ten o'clock, the fox demon would also return to the villa with the tengu, and tell Xia Fan about his experience of the day with great interest.

Since the new notice about the demon was posted, Li Bian became the first practitioner...or demonstrator. She no longer hid her ears and tail, and walked through the streets and downtown openly. This move undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people, but also attracted a lot of criticism.

All of this was naturally heard by Shanhui.

When the latter recounted the story, even Xia Fan could not help but frown. However, when he expressed his concerns, Li told him frankly that this was a necessary process to change people's views. She already had someone she could completely trust, so she would not be hurt by these criticisms. If she could speed up people's acceptance process, those demons who were really uneasy and frightened about stepping into the human world would suffer less harm.

In addition, Li also learned the skills of fishing law enforcement from Xia Fan - only a very few people in Jinxia City knew the details of the fox demon, so if there were extreme people who intended to turn verbal malice into actual actions, Shanhui would get the news one step ahead and notify the arrest department to ambush and capture them.

This matter also became one of Li's daily pastimes.

As for the free time from morning to afternoon, Xia Fan was not idle either. When he was free, he would take out the secret record of immortal arts and flip through it, and restore the circuit diagram on it bit by bit to an illustration that he could understand. Although many symbols have changed, the function of the components can still be inferred based on their position in the diagram.

According to the description in the secret record, this magic is silent and lightless when it is performed. If you are not very sensitive to Qi, it is even difficult to detect that someone has launched an attack.

And its effect is also very strange.

The caster can control the power of the magic by himself. When more Qi is invested, this magic is similar to the separation method, which can cause burning and flames. And its high temperature not only accumulates on the surface, but can also directly hurt the inside of the target, and neither armor nor clothing can stop it.

If the consumption of Qi is reduced, it has almost no direct effect, but after a few days, the person who is hit by the magic will also feel the severe pain caused by the burning, and the body will also rot and decay, as if it is eroded by a vicious disease. More importantly, most treatment methods are ineffective against it. Even if the Taoist priest has a strong recovery ability, he will eventually die.

At the end of the secret record, it is also mentioned that although this magic is hard to defend against, the casting distance is extremely short. It can only achieve the ideal effect within a range of two steps. Beyond this distance, the power of the magic will drop sharply. Therefore, the Privy Council gave it an appropriate name: Nine Nether Fire.

However, in Xia Fan's opinion, this technique is more like a kind of... radiation.

The description of the former symptoms is very consistent with the characteristics of thermal damage caused by high-energy rays, while the latter looks like some kind of dislocation damage.

But this is just a guess.

After all, the diagrams on the secret record are extremely complex, and Xia Fan has difficulty understanding some parts. It is beyond his ability to fully display the full picture of the immortal art.

Of course, this does not mean that this secret record of immortal art is useless. Since it is not feasible to use it as it is, he can just split it up and use it - for example, the diagram of the Nine Nether Fire also includes the amplification circuit part, and it is several times more detailed than the one he drew himself. Identifying and digging out these usable parts is exactly his current main research direction.

"Master Xia, Master Xue, the clerk of the Privy Council, wants to see you." Just as Xia Fan was deconstructing the immortal art, a guard walked into the study and reported, "He is currently waiting outside the villa."

"Does Xue know more?" Xia Fan put down the brush in his hand, "Take him to the reception hall, I'll go there."

"Yes."

In the reception hall, he soon met the visitor.

The former clerk of the Recording Department is now one of the main persons in charge of the Privy Council, and is also in charge of the teaching content of the school's magic. Although Xue Zhigeng was born in the original Privy Council, he later made great efforts in rebuilding the Privy Council and changing it into a ministry, which showed his attitude with his actions.

Xia Fan went straight to the point and asked, "What does Lord Xue want to talk to me about?"

"It's a serious matter, Lord Prime Minister." The other party bowed and said excitedly, "Recently, a Taoist priest reported to me that many students in the school have awakened their ability to sense qi at the same time. I thought it was just a misjudgment, but other Taoist priests submitted similar reports the next day. As of today, it is the third day, and a total of 26 people who sense qi have been found in the school, and there is a trend of continuing to increase!"
