Chapter 1277: Leaving the Mountain
"What?!"
Wei Boyang was surprised when he heard his disciple Zhen Cheng say that Bai Feng was visiting in person.
"Hanzhong Hou is waiting outside the cave to see you, Master!"
Zhen Cheng hurriedly repeated it.
This time Wei Boyang believed that it was really Hanzhong Hou Bai Feng who wanted to see him.
So Wei Boyang handed the elixir he was refining to his disciple Zhen Cheng to take charge of the fire, and then after tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the cave.
While waiting for Wei Boyang outside the cave, Bai Feng was very satisfied with the cave he chose.
This cave is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.
In addition to the difficult mountain roads, there is no need to worry about attacks by wild beasts. It is really a good place.
If the clouds and mist rise in the mountains, it looks no different from the real immortal cave.
Just when Bai Feng was admiring the beautiful scenery of Changbai Mountain, Wei Boyang finally came outside the cave.
"I am Wei Ao, and I meet Hanzhong Hou!"
Then Wei Boyang greeted Bai Feng.
Although Wei Boyang had long been indifferent to worldly etiquette, he still showed respect to Bai Feng from the bottom of his heart.
It was not just that Bai Feng helped Cao Cao unify the world and was invincible.
The most important thing was that the grains provided by Bai Feng, the water-powered looms invented, etc., all truly enabled the people of the world to live a life with food and clothing.
This contribution to the benefit of the people of the world was worthy of Wei Boyang's courtesy to Bai Feng.
"Mr. Wei, there is no need to be polite. The captain of the guards and the servants in my mansion have disturbed me before."
"To show my sincerity, I came to visit Mr. Wei in person this time."
Bai Feng then smiled at Wei Boyang.
"Hahaha, I am really ashamed to be favored by the Marquis of Hanzhong!"
Wei Boyang also smiled and replied.
Then the two sat down on the stone pier at the entrance of the cave, and Wei Boyang personally made tea for Bai Feng.
"Mr. Wei looks ruddy and his eyes are bright. He doesn't look like he's in his seventies."
"I heard a legend in Hanzhong before. It's about Mr. Wei finding a treasure in the mountains, refining it into an elixir and taking it. Three days later, he ascended to heaven in broad daylight and became an immortal."
"Now that I have seen Mr. Wei's true appearance with my own eyes, it's not an exaggeration to praise him as an immortal!"
After Bai Feng finished speaking, he took a sip of tea. It tasted good.
Wei Boyang listened to Bai Feng's praise and felt very pleased.
There are probably not many people in the world who can get such praise from Bai Feng!
Wei Boyang, who just reprimanded his disciple Zhen Cheng for being calm, was unconsciously broken at this moment.
Then Wei Boyang was quite curious about Bai Feng's simple story about his ascension to heaven.
"Can you tell me in detail about the legend that the Marquis of Hanzhong told me?"
Wei Boyang, who has spent half his life pursuing the way of alchemy and wants to refine the elixir of immortality and ascend to heaven in broad daylight, really wants to hear from others how he ascended to heaven and became an immortal.
Bai Feng didn't expect that Wei Boyang had never heard of the legend about himself, so he told the protagonist Wei Boyang the legend that Fang Yuan had told him again.
This feeling is still very novel to Bai Feng.
It was the first time that Bai Feng told a story about the protagonist of the story to the protagonist of the story in front of the protagonist of the story.
After listening to it, Wei Boyang couldn't help laughing.
"I have been in Changbai Mountain for almost 20 years. There is no treasure from heaven."
"Besides, if you really refine the elixir of immortality, how can there be no strange phenomena in the world, and why do you need a little dog to taste it?"
"But this legend does sound very interesting, hahaha!"
Wei Boyang really wants to be like the protagonist in the legend, successfully refine the elixir of immortality, and then take the elixir of immortality and ascend to heaven in broad daylight.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wei is right."
Bai Feng also smiled at Wei Boyang.
The atmosphere became cheerful.
Then Bai Feng began to talk about business.
"This time I invited Mr. Wei to Hanzhong because I admire and recognize Mr. Wei's attainments in alchemy."
Wei Boyang couldn't help but be curious about what Bai Feng wanted to refine with his alchemy skills.
The reason that the captain of the guard Liu Yong relayed to Wei Boyang before did not specifically mention why Bai Feng wanted to invite Wei Boyang to Hanzhong.
He just roughly mentioned the impact of this matter on the future of the Great Wei.
"Hanzhong Hou should understand that I can't refine the elixir no matter what."
Wei Boyang, who didn't know Bai Feng's purpose, spoke quickly.
"Hahaha, of course I don't want Mr. Wei to really help me refine the elixir just because I heard the legend about Mr. Wei refining the elixir."
"Even if Mr. Wei can really refine the elixir and let me ascend to heaven in broad daylight, what good will it do to the people of Wei?"
Faced with Bai Feng's question, Wei Boyang finally put his mind at ease.
As long as it is not to refine the elixir, other requirements can be listened to. After all, he really can't refine the elixir, let alone refine the elixir to feed the little dog.
"The reason for asking Mr. Wei to go to Hanzhong is because I got a formula for making nitroglycerin/explosives."
"However, this formula is too dangerous in the manufacturing process, so it must be made by experienced people."
"So I thought of alchemists at the first time, and then sent people to Hanzhong and Yizhou to recruit alchemists. That's how I learned about Mr. Wei's name"
Bai Feng first briefly explained to Wei Boyang why he now attaches so much importance to alchemists with superb alchemy skills.
Then Bai Feng continued to say to Wei Boyang:
"If this nitroglycerin/oil explosive can be successfully mass-produced, it can be used in the future, whether it is mining, building bridges and roads, or building water conservancy facilities."
"It can be said that it is truly beneficial to the people of the world."
"And Mr. Wei, you are proficient in alchemy. If you participate in the process of making nitroglycerin/oil explosives, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort."
After explaining the uses of nitroglycerin/oil explosives, Bai Feng did not forget to explain to Wei Boyang the dangers encountered in making nitroglycerin/oil explosives.
After listening to Bai Feng's detailed explanation, Wei Boyang was still quite shocked.
Especially when he heard that this nitroglycerin/oil explosive had the powerful power to split mountains and rocks.
After thinking for a while, Wei Boyang said to Bai Feng:
"The nitroglycerin/oil explosives mentioned by the Marquis of Hanzhong are indeed extraordinary. If they can really be mass-produced, they will greatly benefit the people of Wei."
"But now the world is peaceful. If such powerful nitroglycerin/oil explosives flow into the public or are owned by people with bad intentions, I'm afraid it will be a huge disaster!"
