Second in the World

Chapter 294: Second in the World

"Spirit?"

Qin Mu was a little puzzled. Just now, his Six Harmonies Realm Grand Unification Technique was perfected and he fell into enlightenment. Unknowingly, Ling Yuxiu's soul and spirit fetus also flew out with him. Is this the original spirit?

"Soul, soul. One is spirit, the other is soul. Spirit is the spirit fetus, and soul is the soul. Once you cultivate the spirit fetus, the soul will be formed."

Ling Yushu's cultivation is much higher than theirs. Ever since the death of the former crown prince Ling Yuxia, the emperor has paid great attention to him and promoted him to the positions of Crown Prince Grand Tutor, Crown Prince Grand Preceptor and Crown Prince Grand Guardian, to specifically teach him and instruct him on how to practice and handle state affairs.

Ling Yushu has gained a lot these days. His cultivation has improved rapidly compared to when he was in Taixue Academy. Now he has reached the peak of the Seven-Star Realm. It is more than enough for him to teach Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu some common sense.

"The primordial spirit is the soul attached to the spirit fetus, becoming a god in the human body. The primordial energy turns into the essence of the soul, and thus becomes the primordial spirit."

Ling Yushu said: "In addition to giving birth to spiritual soldiers, the Liuhe realm also has the primordial spirit. However, the primordial spirit will only mature and travel the heavens and the earth when it enters the heavenly realm from the Liuhe realm. You have just entered the Liuhe realm, how is it possible that your primordial spirit can leave your body and travel the heavens and the earth so quickly?"

Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu were bewildered. They didn't understand what was going on, and in a daze, their spirits left their bodies and traveled around the universe.

“Liuhe means the east, south, west, north and south of heaven and earth. It also means the unity of body and mind, mind and qi, qi and soul, soul and spirit, spirit and heaven and earth, heaven and earth and body. Only when this step is achieved can it be called Liuhe.”

Ling Yushu pondered, "After the six unions, the soul and the essence are integrated, and the soul and the body are one. Only then can the soul leave the body. Otherwise, even if it leaves the body, it cannot return to the body. How did you do it..."

He couldn't figure it out.

Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu looked at each other and shuddered. From what Ling Yushu said, if one fails to achieve the unity of body, mind, energy, soul, spirit, heaven and earth, it is very likely that one will not be able to find the physical body after leaving the body!

"We were having so much fun just now. Luckily my brother arrived in time and called us back. Otherwise, there is a real possibility that our soul might not be able to find the body." Ling Yuxiu felt a little scared.

"Traveling through the heavens and the earth is still a small matter. If you reach the level of a celestial being, you can travel through the void and witness the magnificence of the universe. However, there is still a seven-star realm in between."

Ling Yushu put aside the confusion and said, "The Imperial Academy teaches a lot about the Liuhe Realm. You should attend more classes. Shan Youxin has already made the waterwheel and is heading to the forging factory in Fangzhou to improve the forging process. He would like to ask Qin..."

He was about to say the word "beast" when he suddenly changed his words and said, "...the great leader will go together."

Qin Mu hesitated: "This river bank..."

More than ten Imperial College scholars came to the river bank. They were Shen Wanyun and others. Ling Yushu said, "Leave the river bank to them. This time, Minister Shan plans to improve the craftsmanship of the factory and make some river-suppressing beasts. He must let you go."

They rushed to Fangzhou Supervisory Factory, and Shan Youxin and other officials from the Ministry of Industry had just arrived outside the Supervisory Factory. Fangzhou was mountainous and had many mines. The Supervisory Factory was responsible for refining black gold and black iron. Qin Mu met Shan Youxin, who greeted him and said, "Your Majesty has long intended to expand the Fangzhou Supervisory Factory, but the power of the Great Leiyin Temple was so great at that time that His Majesty was a little hesitant. This time, the Great Leiyin Temple suffered a great loss, so we have to take the opportunity to expand the Supervisory Factory. Therefore, we have to ask the leader to come and improve the boiler and forging and casting technology..."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "Okay."

Ling Yuxiu hurried forward and said to Shan Youxin: "Minister, I have cultivated to the Liuhe realm and refined spiritual weapons. I would like to ask you for help in improving them." After that, she took out her Nine Dragon Soldier.

Shan Youxin took her Nine Dragon Soldiers and said with a smile: "Princess, you have the master by your side, why do you need to invite me?"

Ling Yuxiu was puzzled and didn't know who the master he was talking about was.

Si Yunxiang also quickly took out the Thousand Silks and said, "I also have my Thousand Silk Spiritual Soldiers. Please help, Master Shan."

Shan Youxin also took her Thousand Silk Spiritual Soldiers, looked at the two spiritual weapons, his face changed slightly, and he gently urged them. The shapes of the two spiritual weapons suddenly changed. The Nine Dragon Soldiers suddenly expanded and turned into nine flying dragons. Their scales and whiskers were extremely real, while the Thousand Silks grew rapidly, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, and it was truly unpredictable.

"My fellow colleagues, come and take a look!"

Shan Youxin quickly called over many officials from the Ministry of Works, including the Vice Minister of Works, who came forward to look at the two magical weapons and marveled at them. The Vice Minister of Works said, "This is truly a work of art that surpasses the skill of nature. The forging method is divine and the skill is amazing!"

The people in the Ministry of Works studied the situation for a while, and then Shan Youxin collected the two spiritual weapons and returned them to Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang, saying, "Saintess, Princess, these two spiritual weapons are the work of the leader, right?"

Ling Yuxiu nodded and said, "The cattle herders helped us refine it on the sea."

Shan Youxin showed admiration and said, "The forging skills of the leader are superior to those of us in the Engineering Department. We may be able to surpass the leader in some skills, but overall, we are not as good as the leader."

Ling Yuxiu was stunned and said in a lost voice: "Can't you make a better one?"

"No one can surpass the Master."

Shan Youxin said, "We just took a look and learned a lot from the princess and saint's spiritual weapons. The two of you have perfected your spiritual weapons and the Ministry of Works cannot improve on them."

Si Yunxiang asked suspiciously, "Is it because Master Shan is the leader and it's hard to offend him?"

Shan Youxin said solemnly: "Master Qin's forging method is close to the divine and the Tao in terms of skills. In terms of skills alone, no one in this world can surpass him. His forging techniques are extremely exquisite, many of which I have never seen or even heard of! The alchemy furnace of the speedboat of Master Fan Yunxiao Fanxiang was designed and built by the master. I was there at the time and was amazed! His skills are the best in the world!"

The two girls stared with their eyes wide open, speechless.

Qin Mu hurriedly said modestly: "Minister, you are too flattering. I have only learned how to forge iron, and I dare not claim to be the best in the world!"

Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang blinked their eyes and looked at the cowherd from Daxu, thinking: "He has always been a boaster, but now he knows how to be humble. It's really rare..."

"At most, second in the world."

Qin Mu said modestly, "I am not as good as the dumb grandfather in our village. The dumb grandfather is the best blacksmith in the surrounding area. When the kitchen knives I made are placed next to his at the market, his will definitely be sold first."

Shan Youxin sighed, "I also want to buy such a magic sword to study and collect, but I didn't expect it to be hidden in the market of a small village. I really want to buy them all. Master, this time you have improved the factory, so you can teach us. Please!"

They surrounded Qin Mu like the moon surrounded by stars and walked into the factory. Behind him came Ling Yushu, Ling Yuxiu, Si Yunxiang and the Minister of Works. The four of them stared at each other in surprise.

The Minister of Industry sighed and said, "The Demon Master, the first doctor of the Imperial Academy, the world-renowned Qin Divine Doctor, and now the second best in the world at forging and refining treasures. This doctor of the Imperial Academy is really unexpected. What other abilities does he have that others don't know about?"

Ling Yuxiu suddenly remembered and said quickly, "He is very good at painting. He once drew a picture for me and sealed it with a seal. He said that if I didn't seal it, I in the picture would come alive and walk out of the picture and run away."

Si Yunxiang also remembered and said, "We were able to escape from Long Jiaonan this time thanks to his painting. He drew a storm on the sea and a ship breaking through the wind and waves. Then the same storm appeared on the sea, and a ship appeared, carrying us away!"

Ling Yushu looked at the Minister of Works and asked, "Does the Painting Saint Pavilion have this ability?"

The Minister of Industry shook his head and said, "The talented people in the Painting Saint Pavilion can only paint what looks like what they want. Some have spirit, some have painting skills, but none of them can paint anything to life. The Heavenly Demon Sect Leader is really..."

He shook his head and said, "It's so unexpected. How can one person have such profound attainments in so many skills at the same time? And still be so humble? Such virtue is amazing."

"Is the cowherd very humble?" Ling Yuxiu was a little confused. The cowherd was obviously very arrogant, acting like he was the second best in the world.

Si Yunxiang was also quite dissatisfied. Their Holy Leader had never been humble. When she wanted to challenge him, he acted like she couldn't beat her and needed to practice more.

“It’s already very humble.”

The Minister of Industry sighed, "If I had even one or two percent of his skills, I would brag about being the best in the world, but he never advertises or shows off. He only tells the truth when others ask him, saying that he is not the best in the world, but the second. I have never seen such a humble person!"

Ling Yushu was also shocked. This Heavenly Demon Sect Leader was more outstanding than he had expected: "Such an outstanding young man, my sister seems..."

He was actually a little worried about whether his sister was worthy of such an outstanding Demon Lord. He immediately shook his head and said, "What am I thinking? That kid, don't even think about getting close to my sister!"

They walked into the factory and saw Qin Mu and others measuring the structure of the furnace. Officials from the Ministry of Industry took out various calculation tools, some for testing and some for calculations, and were busy coming and going, ignoring them.

After a long time, everyone gathered around Qin Mu and watched Qin Mu use his Yuan Qi to draw pictures. He drew a new furnace structure, a forging and casting mechanical structure, and several three-dimensional human-shaped mechanical structure drawings in the air. Others hurriedly recorded them and then got the necessary materials.

The factory was bustling with activity. The deafening sound of forging could be heard. Qin Mu explained his forging techniques to the people next to him while forging. A group of officials from the Ministry of Industry nodded repeatedly.

After a long time, Qin Mu and others made the first forging machine, which was a humanoid eight-armed robot with a large alchemy furnace on its chest, which could deliver medicinal stones to activate the robot.

The upper body of this mechanical man is made of molten composite black gold and black copper, which continuously flows on the body surface. When the composite gold and copper flows to the hands, it can be transformed into a sledgehammer, a steel drill, pliers or something like that. It is extremely powerful and can exert a pressure of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The person operating the furnace only feels a little hot, but it is bearable. By controlling it here, they can operate the mechanical mechanism and forge the gold and copper into shape.

The runes and mechanisms used by this mechanical man were very complicated. Ling Yushu was shocked to see that Shan Youxin and others had recorded several thick stacks of books, which were more than half a person tall when stacked together.

He walked forward and flipped through it, and was filled with admiration. The book was mostly filled with runes transformed from magical powers. Qin Mu used the magical powers and spells that could be found everywhere in forging. The phrase "apply what you have learned" was fully utilized by him!

"This leader is worthy of the title of Saint, unlike Li Tianxing, who is an evil person!"

Ling Yushu was filled with emotion. Seeing Qin Mu resting on the side, he immediately walked up to him and said with a smile, "Master, if I join the Tiansheng Sect, what position can you give me?"

Qin Mu raised his head with a surprised look on his face, and said, "Aren't you worried that if you join the Tiansheng Sect, the emperor will be wary of you?"

Ling Yushu was a little excited: "He has his national teacher, and I also need my own national teacher! If I ascend the throne in the future, you will be my Qin national teacher!"

Qin Mu stood up and shook his head, saying, "Yankang is not my hometown. I am from Daxu, Your Highness, do you remember? I am a people abandoned by God. I can't be your national teacher. Do you have the courage to disobey God's order and make the people of Daxu your people?"

Ling Yushu was stunned.

"You are not as good as your father, he dares."

Qin Mu patted him on the shoulder, walked towards Shan Youxin and the others, and said, "He dared to reform the country despite the disapproval of the world. When he first met me, he no longer regarded me as an abandoned person. You can only maintain the status quo. You still think that I am an abandoned person from Daxu. Your Highness, if you have the ambition to be an emperor, I will be your imperial teacher. But, do you have it?"

Ling Yushu thought of Emperor Yanfeng's words and deeds, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew he couldn't do it.

It’s not that Ling Yuxiu is not worthy of such a man, but that he is not worthy of a national teacher like Qin Mu.
