Chapter 207: The Quintessence Lever Formula? Cultivating the Elemental Heart!
Chapter 207: The Quintessence Lever Formula? Cultivating the Elemental Heart!
'The Five Elements are the foundation of creation, the origin of nature, and the basis of human morality. All things in the world are influenced by their transformations. The myriad spirits are interconnected through their perceptions. They originate from Yin and Yang, spreading throughout the universe, illuminating the realms of light and darkness. The four cardinal directions, East, West, South, and North, are the threads that weave the fabric of the world. The Eight Winds and Six Tones are the principles that govern and maintain order. Thus, the heavens display the Five Phases, manifesting their essence, while the earth provides the Five Materials, offering resources for all...'
'The body is defined by its physical form, while nature is defined by its function. The Five Elements, in their physical and natural states, nurture and benefit all things. Therefore, when combined and differentiated, Wood resides in the position of Lesser Yang. The spring air is gentle and warm, with a faint fire hidden within. Thus, Wood is characterized by its gentle and flexible nature. Fire, on the other hand, resides in the position of Greater Yang, blazing with intense heat and light...'
Dizziness.
At this moment, Su Ping could only feel a single sensation.
Dizzy.
How could a normal person possibly understand this? Su Ping felt a mix of sorrow and anger.
He had spent over two hours using his psychic power to comprehend it, yet why was it so challenging to grasp when he recognized every character individually?
Why did the ancient sages write such mind-boggling texts? Why couldn't they just directly present their research findings and cultivation theories? It was a waste of psychic power to decipher these ancient texts, and they were of no use.
Su Ping helplessly let out a long sigh.
His psychic power gradually relaxed, and the significant consumption of energy left him feeling a bit lightheaded.
He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes to rest for a while, and only then did he feel slightly recovered.
However, he did not continue reading the Five Elements Handbook.
Professor Jiang was right.
Reading this material not only required a substantial amount of psychic power but also imposed an indescribable mental burden.
Moreover, the style of this ancient text seemed to originate from an extremely ancient era, making it quite challenging to comprehend.
Su Ping even began to regret not asking Professor Jiang to decipher it directly.
Why bother enduring this suffering?
Fortunately, he had managed to understand a portion of what he had read.
It was highly likely that this book provided a foundational analysis of the Five Elements.
In comparison, the Five Elements Array Diagram, which was also passed down from ancient times, caught Su Ping's attention.
The Five Elements Array Diagram.
The omniscient Qian Yi appeared once again, and upon seeing the Five Elements Array Diagram in his master's hand, he effortlessly retrieved the Fire Sword.
"Wow!"
Su Ping glanced at Qian Yi, but this time, he shook his head.
He organized his thoughts about the Five Elements.
Firstly, his initial idea regarding the Five Elements and various other elements was to use Qian Yi's origami paper longsword to cultivate corresponding elemental hearts, such as the Fire Heart and Wood Heart.
Then, he wanted to observe if Qian Yi, the little paper figure, could directly connect the souls of the origami figures when using the swords, similar to how they connected their bodies, and whether they could directly assemble the advanced skill: 'Elemental Heart'.
This was the most practical idea at the moment.
It was also the most plausible and feasible one.
Su Ping had considerable confidence in this approach.
Precisely because of this, he did not think too much about this aspect! Instead, his second idea was:
After spending time on this, Su Ping became increasingly interested in the concept of the Five Elements' synergy.
Indeed, after infusing fire attributes, it could transform into earth attributes, and then earth attributes could further transform into metal attributes...
Through continuous derivation, the Five Elements could continue this cycle of transformation until the energy was completely depleted.
However, as Su Ping contemplated this process, he had a wild thought.
Why did the total amount of energy decrease when fire attributes transformed into earth attributes? This seemed like a nonsensical question.
Energy transformation and even conversion inevitably led to a decrease, and if it were to increase, it would defy the laws of nature.
But the synergy of the Five Elements was a unique transformation.
This transformation differed from all other forms of energy consumption.
This aspect could still provide some inspiration from Lao Sha's experience.
Lao Sha's Sunheart was an intriguing transformation.
The power of the sun was challenging to materialize, and even when concentrated, it could only ignite at most, never reaching the point of causing an explosion.
This gave Su Ping some ideas.
There were also some fundamental principles.
The conservation and conversion of energy were not one-sided concepts.
The principles of the steam engine, the lever, and even the human body itself, all followed these principles.
A well-fed adult, with strength and energy, could move a total mass far exceeding their own power, let alone the weight of the food they consumed.
Of course, energy transformation was not a simple comparison.
Energy concentration required more than just a single meal.
So, during the transformation process of the Five Elements' synergy and antagonism, could other means be employed to increase the magnitude of this power conversion? For example, using the principle of the lever, the first transformation from fire to earth elements could be considered the first lever, and then, the second transformation from earth to metal elements would be the second lever, and so on.
Using the solar formula as an example, a hypothetical formula could be derived for the transformation of the Five Elements.
Thus, it would be: 1 Fire = 1.1 Earth = 1.2 Metal = 1.3 Water...
Such a bizarre formula, in theory, could potentially be extended infinitely under these circumstances.
However, this would no longer conform to the second law of thermodynamics regarding entropy increase and the first law of thermodynamics regarding energy conservation.
As he had stated, if this were the case, wouldn't it be possible to create a perpetual motion machine?
However, in a certain sense, the skill of the Sunheart itself is the foundation of the second-class perpetual motion machine.
So, to reiterate, this is not the previous life, but rather the even more miraculous Beastmaster era.
The capabilities of transcendent Companion Beasts, some of which are rare, can even involve time and space, making it even more complex, and the science of the previous life cannot completely replicate this domain.
Therefore, in the rotation of the Five Elements, how can it be said that it is completely impossible?
So, this hypothetical idea requires Su Ping to find the 'lever' that will bring about the transformation! At the same time, in addition to the 'Elemental Formula' and the 'Five Elements Array Diagram', there are other things that give Su Ping a more practical and realistic problem.
Just as the Zhang brothers realized at that time.
The carrier of this thing!
What kind of Companion Beast can perfectly utilize such an ability and become the carrier of this ability?
At first, when they sold the blueprints, they used the energy device of the mechanical body as a gimmick.
But in reality, they knew that this was an impossible task.
Because of the issue of material conductivity.
The mechanical body itself, no matter what, is primarily made of metal! And no matter what, metal will always have a predominantly metallic nature.
Even some super-special and precious resources, with one or even two additional elements, still cannot solve this problem.
But even if they all have them, they must ensure that the Five Elements ratio of the material is perfectly balanced.
Otherwise, according to the Five Elements Array Diagram's energy conduction, some biases and errors will occur.
For other Beastmasters, this may be the biggest challenge.
An unsolvable problem, if it cannot be applied to Companion Beasts, then forget about the more advanced lever formula; even a simple Five Elements conversion is impossible.
However, for Su Ping, this may not be difficult.
Because, in a certain sense, paper is the best material to perfectly balance all attributes! Even if there are some biases, adjustments can be made quickly through the evolution of Origami Figures.
Moreover, the most important thing is,
Even if a single Origami Figure cannot achieve a perfectly balanced attribute, what about five Origami Figures with various attributes?
Because these five can be assembled together at any time! Just like the Five Elements Array Diagram, which is completed by assembling five elements.
This is the true potential of a race that is considered the shame of the Necromancy Department!
Thinking of these possibilities, Su Ping's heart itched, wishing he could fly back to his territory and immediately catch twenty Origami Figures to begin corresponding Five Elements cultivation!
Although it is possible in Metropolis Academy, there are many inconveniences, which I won't elaborate on.
However, there are also advantages to being in Metropolis Academy. For example, things that were previously difficult to see or required resources to access can now be done with just a word,
With this in mind, Su Ping sent another message to Sang Sheng.
In the Dean's office.
Liu Fuhai and Li Zhi had already left, saying they were going to check on Qin Xiaoxue's Wooden Evolution.
After all, as the top Breeding Master, Li Zhi must constantly record the status.
Both of them had realized that Master Zhu Hong had come to find Sang Sheng with a purpose.
They were not the type to lack insight, so they left with a simple excuse.
At this moment, only Sang Sheng and Zhu Hong remained in the office.
Sang Sheng smiled and said, "Master Zhu, what's the matter? You can tell me now."
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar's first release of this novel.
It's not possible that he came here in person just to satisfy his curiosity and see a junior like Su Ping.
In fact, as expected, Zhu Hong sighed and said,
"These past few days have been too rushed. I had to meet with representatives of Breeders from all over the land, so please don't blame me, Sang Sheng!"
Sang Sheng shook his head but didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.
Zhu Hong paused and then asked a question that caught Sang Sheng off guard:
"Sang Sheng, your husband is the Qin Chairman of Linzhou, right?"
Related to the old man?
This time, she hadn't expected that.
Although the old man's breeding skills are top-notch, there aren't many Breeding Masters in Dragon Country, and for someone like Master Zhu Hong, a leading figure among masters, it's rare to have any connection.
After all, the person in front of her was once a candidate for the Tamer Association's presidency, but unfortunately, his Beastmaster skills were insufficient, only reaching the Imperial Peak. Hence, he became one of the vice presidents of the Tamer Association.
But even that is already impressive!
Whether she understood or not, she nodded.
"Chairman Qin has a rare and precious Wooden Dragon, right? It was one of the rewards given to him by Dragon Country after he reached the Holy Spirit Rank, and he gifted it to your husband."
Zhu Hong, rarely showing a smile, finally revealed his true purpose.
Sang Sheng nodded again:
"What is it, Master Zhu? You've been researching the Wooden Dragon recently?"
"Not just the Wooden Dragon, I've been studying various Elemental Dragons and have some ideas. Although Chairman Qin's Wooden Dragon is an Eastern Dragon, it doesn't matter. So, I wanted to ask if I could go to Linzhou and seek Chairman Qin's help at the appropriate time."
"Zhu Hong was being polite.
After all, this was a new, powerful, and rising Holy Spirit-ranked existence.
Sang Sheng furrowed her brows slightly:
"What kind of help do you need?"
Zhu Hong felt a bit embarrassed: "Of course, it won't threaten the life of the Wooden Dragon! I need some energy supply, but at times, I might require some Dragon Blood to assist!"
Sang Sheng's brows furrowed again, indicating that the situation had reached a point where she couldn't make the decision herself.
So, she shook her head: "I can talk to Old Qin, but whether he agrees or not, it's not certain. It's impolite to ask, but what research do you need to do that requires such trouble?"
"Well... it's not something I can't talk about. My contracted companion beast has a Yellow Dragon, which has already reached the Imperial Peak level. To break through and evolve, I need to try something new!"
"Hmm?!"
This time, Sang Sheng's brows furrowed tightly, and she looked at Zhu Hong with a puzzled expression: "Master Zhu, I'm not doubting you. You're also a more authoritative figure in companion beast cultivation. But I still want to say that even if your Yellow Dragon evolves and breaks through to become an Elemental Dragon with Holy Spirit-ranked potential, it's still likely to be an Earth Dragon, which seems unrelated to the Wooden Dragon, right?"
However, this time, Zhu Hong revealed a smile: "Of course, I understand all this. But my companion beast's evolution can't be ordinary. In fact, I want to try dual-attribute evolution!"
"Dual-attribute evolution? Wood and Earth?"
Sang Sheng was slightly taken aback, seemingly not having considered this at all. Then, she seemed to finally understand and narrowed her eyes, looking at Zhu Hong:
"You want to try that path?"
Zhu Hong quickly waved his hand: "It's not that serious. Being able to advance to the Holy Spirit rank within the next few decades is already enough for me! As for becoming a Holy Spirit, I've never even thought about it!"
Sang Sheng nodded, understanding:
"Never mind, since that's the case, I'll talk to Old Qin, but whether he agrees or not, I'll ask for his opinion!"
At this point, the woman directly called Qin in front of Zhu Hong.
She didn't even listen to Zhu Hong's subsequent words.
Although Dragon blood is extremely precious, a small amount of it doesn't cause such severe harm.
Therefore, the woman knew that Master Zhu would likely offer some compensation for the transaction, but she didn't listen to his offer and directly agreed, which made Zhu Hong feel a rare sense of goodwill towards her.
Qin Erlong also reacted in the same way.
When he heard that Zhu Hong needed help, he agreed right away over the phone.
After hanging up, the woman continued:
"I'll give you Old Qin's contact information later. Master Zhu, are you planning to go to Linzhou right after the Cultivation Competition, or wait until after the Spring Festival?"
Zhu Hong nodded:
"Thank you, Elder Sang Sheng! Rest assured, I won't let President Qin help in vain! I'll go right after the competition; I'm a lone wanderer, so it doesn't matter where I spend the New Year."
The woman nodded and smiled:
"That's good. During the New Year's Eve, I'll probably take my family back to Linzhou to celebrate. It'll be a good time to chat with you when I'm free."
Zhu Hong also nodded.
As he said, it didn't matter where he spent the New Year.
After finishing the main topic, both of them relaxed. Sang Sheng finally showed some other interests and suddenly asked:
"By the way, Master Zhu Hong, what are the prizes for this year's Cultivation Competition?"
As the annual event of the cultivation world in Dragon Country, the higher-ups of Dragon Country also attached great importance to it. Therefore, when encouraging new breeders to innovate, they would naturally offer corresponding rewards to stimulate the participants.
This year, Sang Sheng hadn't inquired about the prizes in advance.
But since it was held in the Capital City, it was fine for her to ask out of curiosity.
Zhu Hong smiled slightly and said directly: "There's nothing to hide! In addition to the large number of points and provincial resource subsidies from the Breeder Association, there are also some additional rewards for individual breeders.
These include some self-selected resources and some breeding methods from the Breeder Association, which have been available in previous years!
The first-place winner can even directly choose a Holy Spirit-grade resource material! Additionally, this year's first-place winner will also receive a Heart Fruit."
"Hmm?!"
Sang Sheng slightly raised her brows: "Heart Fruit? Your Breeder Association is quite generous this time!"
Heart Fruit, a treasure that can't be measured by levels and can enhance the talent of beast tamers.
Zhu Hong shook his head: "It's not a big deal. Originally, there was another reward planned, but considering various factors, we made some changes."
Sang Sheng took a look and was just about to ask what the original reward was when her phone rang again.
The text message was from Su Ping.
The message from Su Ping made Sang Sheng slightly frown and rarely showed a difficult expression.
"Elder Sang Sheng, what's wrong?"
The woman raised her head and looked at Master Zhu Hong in front of her. She smiled and said:
"Master Zhu Hong, do you have any insights into cultivating the Elemental Heart? Our little guy here has given me a difficult problem!"
"Elemental Heart?"
