Chapter 1240: They Are Still a Bunch of Children
That day, 100 students from the weapon refinery specialization in the Luo Shen Cultivation College came to the Longmen Fortress. They could not control their excitement. They had been yearning to partic.i.p.ate in this battle.
The greenhouse flowers in the dawn of the magically rich era were all growing. No one was willing to simply look on in this war, where lives were at risk. They were also unwilling to stay in their ivory tower and study in peace while others were carrying out their responsibilities.
At this moment, almost every single student from the Cultivation College were uneasy. They desperately wanted to do something for the Heavenly Network, but the Heavenly Network wanted to protect them.
In the past, Nie Ting had brought them to train at the Lop Nur remains to let them know about the cruelty of the world. He did not do so to kill them.
Since they had fulfilled their aim of training, Nie Ting had to think about maintaining the flame, not killing the shoots in an attempt to help them grow.
When the weapon refinery students were gathered and rushed to the Longmen Fortress, the rest of the Luo Shen Cultivation College were observing them with jealous expressions.
Someone curiously asked, “What are you going to do?”
The students from the weapon refinery specialization excitedly lowered their tone and explained. “I heard that the Ninth Heavenly King needs our help for something!”
“Do you know what it is?” Someone curiously asked.
“I heard that we are going to cast something extremely important,” said one of the students with a sense of pride.
The surrounding students were jealous. The Ninth Heavenly King had bestowed them with a mission!
The Ninth Heavenly King was now a legend in the Cultivation Colleges. When the Ninth Heavenly King was mentioned, a group of supporters would sing praises about him. Sometimes, people would even forget that the Ninth Heavenly King was the same age as they were.
The weapon refinery students rushed to the Longmen Fortress. It was as if they were heading towards the frontline with honor.
The students from the other specialization could only look on helplessly. They even felt as if they had been abandoned. This was a brilliant era, but they could not partic.i.p.ate in it.
The same thing happened in every Cultivation College. The weapon refinery specialization students flew to Luo City via plane. When they were about to leave, they were sent off by a group of people. They were almost gifted with a large, red flower on their chest.
But when they reached the Longmen Fortress, they realized that the situation was not as simple as they had expected…
The first people they saw were the true professional refiners. Some of their names had appeared in their textbooks. Their learning materials had been created by these professionals.
If they were able to produce learning materials, they were definitely highly esteemed. But these professional refiners looked pale and had dark eye circles.
While the students were still excited about seeing these famous figures, they suddenly saw one of the professionals complaining to Zhong Yutang. “Why did you bring this group of students here? They are still a bunch of children!”
The students were silent.
The situation suddenly became very odd. Everyone had an unpleasant premonition. What had this professional experienced to acc.u.mulate so much rage…
When Lu Shu appeared with Ouyang Lishang, the students were once again excited. They felt as if the journey had not been made in vain,
But Lu Shu did not say much to them. Instead, he put down the bronze lamp and left with Zhong Yutang. Lu Shu and Zhong Yutang had to discuss their plans of building a gold refinery furnace with the construction workers.
The furnace would be used to maintain high temperatures and ensure that the floating gold did not solidify.
Lu Shu could not pull everyone into the remains. He could only construct a new furnace outside.
At first, Ouyang Lishang was worried that Zhong Yutang and the rest would not be able to maintain high temperatures. Only very powerful Pract.i.tioners in the Luniverse were able to do so. Back then, when he used floating gold to create the World Tide, he had only been able to do so with the help of 100 Rank One experts tirelessly combining their techniques.
But Ouyang Lishang had underestimated the power of technology. Although the Earth did not have a cultivation civilization, it was very easy for people on Earth to create a high temperature furnace. It had been used in industries for a very long time…
At first, Lu Shu was worried that the melting point of floating gold would be 3000 degrees, or even higher, higher than he could imagine. Later on, he tested it out. The melting point of metal did not represent the quality of the metal. The metal with the highest melting point was in everyday items. For example, the tungsten in light bulbs had the highest melting point of 3417 degrees. The melting point of floating gold was only 2600 degrees…
Thus, there were times when Luniverse felt that the technology civilization of the Earth and the cultivation civilization of the Luniverse were equal. Furthermore, the quality of life on Earth was much better than in the Luniverse. They were on completely different levels.
Lu Shu had thought about whether he wanted the construction workers to cast the weapons. But Nie Ting, s.h.i.+ Xuejin, and Zhong Yutang all had their own opinions. No matter who they sent, it would be the same. Ouyang Lishang just had to pa.s.s down his techniques. But the problem was, they had more advanced goals. For example, they wanted to produce a group of expert refiners in the Heavenly Network. Observing and learning from Ouyang Lishang was what every disciple needed most.
From the look of things, the students would be tired. But after they had finished learning, the Heavenly Network would have an advantage that the rest of the world did not. Even in the Luniverse, it would be the same. According to what Lu Shu knew, there was no one in the Luniverse who was more capable in refining weapons than Ouyang Lishang.
This time, Ouyang Lishang took up the job of conducting final checks and carvings. Lu Shu requested him to explain the reason for rejecting the weapons while he was checking them. This would allow him to pa.s.s down his techniques. The process would become much faster.
That night, they began producing the World Tide. Zhang Weiyu could not conceal his excitement. He went to find Lu Shu. “Great Lord, I heard that you are asking Ouyang Lishang to create the World Tide?”
Lu Shu cheerily laughed. “The news spreads rather quickly.”
Zhang Weiyu excitedly ran off. He had to tell his brothers about this!
The World Tide belonged to them. To an expert, their weapon was their only comrade. The World Tide, which they were most familiar with and used to, was finally going to return to them!
Overnight, Lu Shu realized that he had obtained many distress points. The weapon refinery specialization students ate breakfast in the canteen with dark eye circles. When they ate, they looked at one another silently. They started to tear up. Where had their initial excitement gone? They only had one thought. The Ninth Heavenly King is harming me.
No wonder the professionals had complained that they were still a bunch of kids…
At this moment, the students from the weapon refinery specialization in the other Cultivation Colleges were still on their way. Zhong Yutang came to find Lu Shu and discussed with him. “How about we stop using your name to bring them over? This way, I am afraid that they will hate you…”
Lu Shu instantly panicked. “No. I have to take up this responsibility as a Heavenly King. If I don’t go to h.e.l.l, who will? You must use my name! I believe that they will definitely understand my effort. In the end, they will understand me and show sympathy!”
Zhong Yutang looked at Lu Shu with suspicion. Was he crazy…
