Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Second Uncle Xu was touched. It was worth his twenty years of mediation. Although the wife in the family still didn't like her nephew, the relationship between the younger generations was still very good.

Second Uncle Xu took the sleeping little girl from his daughter's arms and comforted her, "Ning Yan has come out, the matter is over."

Xu Lingyue didn't believe it.

Second Uncle Xu tried to persuade her, but she was still half-believing and half-doubting, and cast her eyes on her second brother.

Xu Xinnian said lightly, "It's a small matter."

Xu Lingyue believed it.

A proud person like the second brother would not lie about such a big thing.

County Magistrate Zhu paid close attention to the follow-up of this matter. He heard the news from the clerk and rushed over immediately.

"How did you deal with Mr. Zhou?" County Magistrate Zhu was in doubt, unless Mr. Zhou gave up himself, but he didn't think it was possible.

"I invited a teacher." Xu Xinnian said.

So that's it... County Magistrate Zhu suddenly realized, but felt something was wrong. The bigwigs in the court all came from the Imperial College. It is well known that the Imperial College and Yunlu Academy are not on good terms.

Even if Xu Xinnian's teacher is a great scholar, Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice would not let him go so easily. There would be a lot of wrangling. It's not so easy to get things done by cutting the face of the great scholar of Yunlu Academy.

"And Mr. Mu Bai." Xu Xinnian finished speaking, and added: "And the white-clothed man from the Imperial Observatory."

"What?!" County Magistrate Zhu was surprised, his expression became cautious, and his attitude became much more correct, "A tiger father will have a dog son, a tiger father will have a dog son."

"Congratulations, Lord Xu, your son is very talented. Not only is he valued by Yunlu Academy, but he also has friendships with the white-clothed men from the Imperial Observatory. He has a bright future. I envy you for having such a son."

Second brother knows the white-clothed man from the Imperial Observatory? Xu Lingyue immediately looked at Xu Xinnian, and a strong sense of security surged in her heart.

Ordinary women obey their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage - reflecting the two supports when waiting to be married and after marriage.

At home, the father is a support, and the brother is also a support.

Xu Xinnian shook his head: "Mr. Mu Bai was not invited by me, but by my eldest brother. I don't know the white-clothed man from the Imperial Observatory, and my eldest brother also found him himself."

When did Xu Ningyan meet the great scholar Li Mubai from Yunlu Academy? This may be because of Xu Xinnian's matchmaking. But how could the white-clothed man from the Imperial Observatory know him, a clerk?

County Magistrate Zhu was stunned on the spot, with the word "impossible" in his mind.

Xu Ningyan has been working under him for some years, and has always been a taciturn little transparent person. His relationship with his colleagues is not bad, but he is not so open- hearted.

He has no great ability, except for fighting.

But during this period of time, he suddenly became witty and slick, calling himself a brother to Captain Wang and drinking and chatting with his colleagues.

But no matter what, he would not be appreciated by the great scholar and get the friendship of the white-clothed people in the Imperial Observatory.

"If this is the case, Xu Ningyan's status and position will be incomparable. Even I have to be more polite to him... I will try to sound him out when he reports tomorrow to see what is going on." County Magistrate Zhu thought to himself.

Xu Lingyue widened her big Kazilan eyes, a little bit unbelievable.

But the smart girl immediately made an association. Is it that poem? The farewell poem written by the eldest brother for the second brother was appreciated by the great scholar, so The agreed to help mediate.

But how did the gods of the Imperial Observatory know the eldest brother... The eldest brother is really getting more and more mysterious.

...

Xu Qian'an followed Song Qing walking on the corridor, and the air holes on the right wall shot out beams of light, bringing light.

There were no windows in the observatory, and Xu Qi'an was a little disappointed that he couldn't see the scenery from afar.

Soon, they came to a secret room, Song Qing took out the key to open the door, and lit the candle in the secret room.

There were all kinds of strange things in the secret room, some were weapons and crossbows, and some were completely unrecognizable.

Xu Qi'an looked at them one by one like he was shopping in a clothing store, and was suddenly startled by something.

"What is this?"

It was a huge glass bottle, filled with clear water, and a strange creature was soaking in the water. It looked like a cat, but its body was covered with wood grain, and there was even a wood tumor on its abdomen.

What's even stranger is that it's alive, and the protruding wood tumor is like a heart, rising and falling slightly.

"This is a great experiment," Song Qing said in a deep voice: "Its body is a cat. I tried to merge it with a tree to give it the ability to regenerate broken limbs. In fact, I was close to success. Even if you cut off its head, it will grow back in three days. The only weakness is the heart."

"But I also failed, because it completely turned into a tree. It can't move, can't think, and can only be kept in water."

...... Are you a devil? Xu Qi'an's eyes changed when he looked at him.

"What do you think of my idea?" Song Qing asked in a tentative tone. Seeing that Xu Qi'an's eyes were wrong, he frowned and was a little disappointed:

"Do you think there is a problem too?"

Xu Qi'an kept his expression unchanged and shook his head: "I just think you are going in the wrong direction, because I have also thought about alchemy in this area, but I named it hybrid

technology."

Hybrid technology... Song Qing chewed on this word, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"We can start with small things, crossbreeding species of the same kind, such as crossbreeding two cats of different breeds, and let them give birth to a completely new

species." Xu Qian'an said.

"Give birth to different species? What kind of species will it give birth to?" Song Qing asked

eagerly.

"I don't know, maybe it will produce a completely new and excellent breed, or maybe it will be the opposite." Xu Qian'an said: "But this is the charm of alchemy, what do you think."

"You just said alchemy, you just said alchemy!" Song Qing was very excited. "What's wrong?" Xu Qian'an's heart sank, and he suspected that he had said the wrong thing.

"I think alchemy is not limited to inanimate objects. I think living things are also within the realm of alchemy. So I changed the cat, but the teacher disagreed. The teacher said that life is not within the realm of alchemy. For this reason, he was confined for a long time."

The supervisor did a great job... Xu Qiyan said with a stern face, "Whether it is true or not, let

time verify it."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "If you want to refute the supervisor and don't want to be confined, I have a suggestion."

"You say." Song Qing already regarded Xu Qiyan as a fellow traveler.

"You can start with plants." Xu Qiyan said, "Plants are also life, but the nature is much lighter. I have seen a kind of alchemy in ancient alchemy books that coincides with your

idea..."

He didn't continue.

"You say it." Song Qing felt uncomfortable, and the two pairs of eyes on his swollen eye bags

were wide open.

"Brother Song has some pretty good stuff here." Xu Qi'an suggested, "The unchanging

principle of alchemy..."

"I understand. I can give you three gifts. With your current level of refining spirit, I think this item is suitable for you." Song Qing immediately understood what Xu Qi'an meant. He was not averse to the principle of equivalent exchange.

He even admired it.

"The material of this crossbow was made by me by chance. It is harder and more resilient than

ordinary ironware, but it is difficult to make and cannot be mass-produced. The string is made of the silk of the six-eyed poisonous spider in southern Xinjiang and the silk of the seven-colored silkworm. In the case of a sneak attack, it can break the protective true qi of the Qi training realm warrior, excluding the peak of the Qi training realm." "The most precious thing about it is that this military crossbow is engraved with a formation.

The formation will increase the power of the arrows and pose a threat to the masters of the

refining spirit realm. But it can only be used three times, and then the formation will

dissipate."

Xu Qi'an's heart moved: "Is this a magic weapon?"
