The 32nd Section Transmits the Alchemical Hand Seals, what? Supreme!
Perched on the windowsill was a white-feathered albatross. As soon as it saw Chu Yun, it let out a loud cry and flapped its wings.
"It's a letter from Shu Family Island." Chu Yun's eyes lit up as she recognized the white-feathered homing pigeon.
He walked quickly up to the albatross and it opened its beak and spat out a small sealed bamboo tube.
In this world, there are some kinds of demonic beasts that are born with internal spaces. These spaces are generally small and have different environments.
For example, the White Feather Homing Pigeon has a slender space inside its body, lacks air and is very dry. It is often used to carry important letters. If the White Feather Homing Pigeon is killed, the space inside its body will also be destroyed. Therefore, the letter is extremely safe.
For example, the space inside a dolphin is also quite large and has a mild environment with plenty of air. In critical moments, this space can be used to rescue people.
In addition, there is the most commonly used beast of burden by merchant groups - the Prime Minister Pig. This pig demon has a large space within its body that can hold many goods. Moreover, it eats anything and isn't picky, making it easy to raise.
Chu Yun opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter inside. As he unfolded it, he saw that it was written in his father Shu Tianhao's own handwriting.
My child:
Is life in the academy good? Your adoptive father is well, no need to worry...
The letter is concise and to the point. Firstly, it expresses a query, secondly, it informs Chu Yun that Shu Family Island has opened up many salt farms, producing large quantities of sea salt which are stored in secret locations.
Chu Yun felt a surge of emotion in her heart, and from this thin piece of paper, she could feel Shu Tianhao's concern. The situation on Shu Island must be extremely dire, otherwise, with Shu Tianhao's calm personality, he wouldn't have made such a big move to open up the salt fields.
But in such a crisis, Shu Tianhao still didn't reveal anything to Chu Yun, not wanting to give the latter unnecessary pressure.
"It won't be long before the epidemic in Bixi Sea will spread out of control and become a crisis that affects the entire constellation. At that time, sea salt will be scarce and prices will rise. Father secretly produced a large batch of sea salt, he's betting on this."
Chu Yun felt a heavy heart.
Shu Tianhao is making a desperate gamble, and if he doesn't have powerful allies to support him, he's likely to provoke a group of enemies to attack. For the sake of interest, anything can be done. This is a chaotic world!
But if it succeeds, earning a small profit is not the biggest gain. Seizing a share of the sea salt market is the greatest reward. As long as we hold on to this advantage in the future, Shu Family Island will have a golden trade project and no longer need to look up to others or curry favor with Ning Family Island.
"Let's talk with Bai Meideng tomorrow." Although he didn't have much hope in his heart, Chu Yun still wanted to try his best.
The next day, after alchemy class.
"This is impossible. The Tian Ge Academy is neutral and has never participated in the internal struggles of the various star islands. In this regard, I won't be able to help you." After listening to Chu Yun's request, Bai Mei Dan Shifu furrowed his brow, but his tone was firm in refusal.
Although he thought highly of Chu Yun's talent and wanted to cultivate her strongly, it didn't mean he had to lose his own stance.
Chu Yun's expression was gloomy and although she hadn't held much hope from the start, being rejected still made her feel very disappointed.
Tian Ge Shu Yuan is the most ideal ally. Without its intervention, this time Shu Tian Hao's all-in gamble would likely have failed.
Bai Mei Dan Shi let out a sigh and said reluctantly, "Let me tell you a story. In the past, when Tian Ge Shu Yuan was first established on Qing Shan Island, almost all the powers in the Zhuxing Archipelago were eyeing it covetously. No one wanted an external force to occupy their own territory. After the first and second generation heads of the institute, who possessed great personal strength, passed away one after another, they left the heavy responsibility of maintaining Tian Ge Shu Yuan to the third generation head...
Bai Mei Dan Shifu slowly said, the three generations of courtyard masters were better at refining medicine, but their personal strength was not intimidating. In order to maintain the overall situation, he endured humiliation and hardship, his life was filled with compromise and sacrifice. Even being alienated by his own people, thinking that he was a shame to the academy.
But it was precisely because of his efforts, the union and cooperation, that made the Tian Ge Academy pass through the dangerous period smoothly. It was accepted by various forces in the Zhuxing Archipelago, and the neutral creed was implemented and trusted. Passed down to this day, the Tian Ge Academy has come step by step, and only then did it have today's scale and prestige.
After hearing the story, Chu Yun couldn't help but sigh. He knew that "neutrality" was the foundation of Tian Ge Shu Yuan's survival, and once lost, the academy would be unable to protect itself, facing a more perilous situation than even the Shu Family Island.
Although many talents have been cultivated in the academy, they have now become leaders of various forces. However, when faced with personal interests, school ties seem fragile and vulnerable.
Chu Yun suppressed the sense of loss in his heart and no longer insisted.
Bai Mei Dan Shifu sighed and said, "Good, good, work hard. Chu Yun, you have great talent. In the future, when you become a powerful figure, the Shu Family Island will surely prosper because of you. Next, I'll pass on to you the ancestral master's unique technique - the top-grade alchemy handprint - Eight Brocade!"
"Superior Alchemy Seal!" Chu Yun's expression changed instantly.
The value of this top-grade alchemy handprint is comparable to that of a rare and precious demon beast egg. I didn't expect the third generation head of the institute to be so formidable, actually creating such a high-level alchemy print on his own. Truly a legendary figure!
Compared to the lower-level Basic Alchemy Seal, the higher-level Eight Trigrams Alchemy Seal has more than ten times the content! The basic hand seal has eight components, and when combined, the complex and intricate changes, as well as the complicated and strange connections, are dizzying and bewildering.
After a whole incense stick of time had passed, Chu Yun, with her full attention focused on it, could still only forcibly remember one eighth of it.
Bai Mei Dan Shifu nodded slightly and said with relief, "It's already very good. When I was learning, I was much worse than you. Your alchemy talent is excellent, don't waste it. Each superior alchemy handprint has a special effect. The special effect of the Eight Trigrams Alchemy Handprint is to increase density."
"Encrypted?"
"Not bad. This is a project that the three generations of courtyard masters have spent their lives studying. A pill refined from a single grain, placed in the hands of an expert, can be tested several times to determine its detailed composition. After repeated attempts, one can infer the method of refining the pill. This is extremely detrimental to the interests of alchemists. When you complete the Eight Trigrams Reversible Alchemy Handprint, the surface of the refined pill will condense into eight Taoist rhymes, which are linked together to form a Dan robe. If the Dan robe breaks, the pill is destroyed. Then you won't be afraid that others will steal your labor achievements."
Bai Mei Dan Shifu's explanation broadened Chu Yun's horizons.
"Come back here tomorrow and I'll teach you the next hand seal. This hand seal is a secret transmission, don't casually teach it to others." White Eyebrow Dan Master instructed before leaving.
"Chu Yun understood." Chu Yun promised and turned to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned back to face Bai Mei Dan Shi and bowed to thank him, "I thank you, Master Dan Shi, for your guidance!"
Although Bai Mei Dan Shifu rejected his request, Chu Yun also understood very well. Neutrality was the foundation of Tian Ge Shu Yuan, and if it were himself, he wouldn't agree either.
However, Bai Mei Dan Shifu taught this important alchemy handprint to himself, and it was a genuine cultivation of himself, giving himself a small furnace.
Chu Yun was not a confused and ignorant young man, but rather one with a mature temperament. Recalling his experiences in his past life, he felt a deep gratitude towards Bai Mei Dan Shifu that came from the bottom of his heart.
"Go back and practice well." Bai Mei Dan Sheng waved his hand, his face as cold and solemn as ever. It wasn't until Chu Yun left the school that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly, forming an arc.
As soon as Chu Yun walked out of the school gate, he saw Jin Bi Han rushing over and grabbing his hand, pulling him away.
"Hurry! I've already solved all the mysteries and found the legacy of the third generation master!"
