"Besides this, I can also provide you with some small technical support, such as... cave technology."
"A grotto-heaven??"
Have you ever heard of the mythical paradises and blessed lands?
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded subconsciously. These things are mentioned even in some books and novels in Japan.
The immortals of the East often reside in those magical, blessed lands.
No matter how harsh the external environment may be, there is a world of its own within the cave.
"That is, to take a small place and use some means to expand it, but from the outside it still looks the same size."
"For example, make the inside of a pot the size of several mountain peaks, and have a corresponding ecosystem inside."
Upon hearing this, Goldruff practically drooled; this was technology straight out of his dreams.
If their imaginary submarine possessed this technology, expanding its interior with vast space, it would have a wider range of options to cope with various environments.
"Little White, you know this magic?"
The monkey looked at Bai Zhi as if he had discovered a new continent, something Bai Zhi had never mentioned to him before.
"What, you want a secluded paradise too?"
"Hehe, I'm still escorting that monk, aren't I? If there's a paradise like this, it's better than living a life of hardship and exposure to the elements."
"If we do this, all the eighty-one tribulations will turn into a vacation. Even the Bodhisattva wouldn't approve."
"How could that be? I just use this to decorate my own things. I, Old Sun, lack nothing except magic weapons."
Chapter 870 Bai Zhi: I am very familiar with Qin Shi Huang
Bai Zhi thought about it and realized it was true. The monkey was called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, but in reality, he was much poorer than most of the famous gods.
Chainmail armor and cloud-walking shoes are just fancy outfits; they don't really offer any particularly strong defensive capabilities. Their main purpose is to make the wearer stand out.
When attacked, he always relied on his indestructible body to withstand the attacks.
The Golden Cudgel is the same; it can change shape at will, but it's just a stick used to control water. It basically relies on pure physical attacks based on weight, which is far inferior to those real magical weapons with various magical abilities, such as the Banana Leaf Fan.
"Okay, I'll get one for you when I get back."
This isn't a big deal, since it's not one of those giant caverns, and the time she needs to create it is very short.
"Hehe, I'll thank you on behalf of my original self."
The monkey looked delighted. He had been very envious when he encountered Zhen Yuanzi's "Hidden Universe in Sleeve" technique at Wuzhuang Temple. If he had such magic or a magical artifact, he could carry so many things.
I thought I probably wouldn't be able to get my hands on such a magical artifact or spell, but I never expected that Bai Zhi would know it.
"Speaking of which, your next Lostbelt to conquer is in the China region?"
Bai Zhi turned her gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka and asked.
Does she still remember that in FGO, the only Lostbelt related to China is that of the eternal emperor?
In the Lostbelt, Ying Zheng recovered the remains of an artificial human made by the immortal Taiyi Zhenren from the ruins of the Yin Dynasty. By analyzing it, he obtained the technology of physical mechanization.
Thus, the First Emperor, who had achieved his long-cherished wish of immortality, avoided the era of war through his iron-fisted governance, allowing China to complete the Industrial Revolution before the Western Renaissance and conquer the world through an overwhelming technological gap.
In order to increase his power to the point that he could dominate the entire earth, the First Emperor continued to expand his mechanized holy body, eventually swallowing up even his residence, the Epang Palace. His enormous body floated above Xianyang through anti-gravity.
His imposing presence, which commanded the people of the entire territory to pay homage to the Emperor at all times, could be described as the embodiment of surveillance and rule. With his divine calculation abilities, the Emperor predicted the lives of all his subjects and made decisions about their fates.
It has a strong sense of Laplace's demon.
Bai Zhi thought that if Rupert II, the emperor who swept across the entire universe, were still alive, he might have a good understanding with this mechanically ascended First Emperor.
"Yes, is the immortal asking this as an instruction?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat confused.
"It's nothing, I just foresaw that you might run into an old friend of mine. Hmm... no, that person shouldn't be someone I know. Hehe, but I believe it would be quite interesting if they could meet."
Bai Zhi chuckled softly. She remembered that she had once hosted the First Emperor.
She even gave the First Emperor a elixir to reverse aging.
"Eh? Do you know what's going on with the Lostbelt of China?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up.
"I've figured out a few things."
The monkey scratched its head, wondering when Bai Zhi had learned this divination technique, since Bodhi Patriarch had never taught it to her.
"Immortal, could you please give me a little hint?"
The girl rubbed her hands together and asked nervously.
Knowing information about a Lostbelt in advance would obviously be very helpful for future strategies.
"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed, for once they are, they can change the course of your life."
Bai Zhi said in a pretentious manner.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of any of this, as long as it can save our world."
Fujimaru Ritsuka pursed her lips and said firmly.
"Besides these, revealing secrets also comes at a price. Are you prepared to pay that price?"
"Immortal, what is the price? I can pay it for you."
Mashu stepped forward.
Bai Zhi blinked and smiled, "I can't say, but since you're so eager to know, I'll pay the price for you. Just remember to pay me back later."
"Is this really okay?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka said with some concern, "It seems that in many myths and legends, revealing heavenly secrets and changing other people's fates are very serious matters, even for gods."
Will Bai Zhi get struck by lightning?
It seems that in China, this is called divine retribution?
"Don't worry, I won't be in any serious trouble because of this."
Bai Zhi waved her hand.
"Then... I will definitely repay these kindnesses from the immortal in the future!!"
The girl couldn't help but say.
"Migu... I have a feeling that Ritsuka-san is about to never be able to repay Master's kindness."
Tamamo-no-Mae muttered something under her breath. She had a feeling that this Lostbelt might be related to some of her tails, but since she had been summoned here, she hadn't actually seen those things and couldn't say for sure.
"As for the Lostbelt of China, the king of that Lostbelt is Qin Shi Huang, a powerful being who can rival immortals."
"Of course, the Qin Shi Huang there is not the same one I know. The one I know probably follows the same path as in your normal history."
"However, he was fortunate enough to meet me back then, and I gave him a rejuvenation pill. Now, history has probably changed a lot in that world."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's mouth gaped slightly. The next Lostbelt King was actually Qin Shi Huang, a very famous king in world history who laid the foundation for the unification of China.
Whether viewed from its historical achievements or from other perspectives, it is undoubtedly very powerful.
Moreover, Bai Zhi also said that this person possesses power comparable to that of an immortal.
Bai Zhi is also an immortal, and she and Mashu have already fully experienced the extent of her power.
But it's okay if you don't use a strategy guide here.
As for the Lostbelt of China, we can't just leave it alone; that would be tantamount to declaring that they would have to fight a celestial being head-on.
That's definitely not good news.
"I think we should be more concerned about anti-aging drugs, shouldn't we?"
When Goldrov heard that the Lostbelt King of the Chinese Singularity was Qin Shi Huang, he was first surprised and was about to consult with Leonardo da Vinci about countermeasures when he heard Bai Zhi mention the anti-aging drug.
This is something countless people dream of. Although there are many ways to prolong life in magic, such as constantly changing one's body or having other things carry one's soul, these all come at a considerable cost.
Chapter 871 Next time we meet, you can call me Bubble~
"I can concoct a batch of the anti-aging elixir right now!"
Bai Zhi said with a smile.
Her anti-aging medicine wasn't some mythical elixir, but rather a technological creation that Bai Lu reversed and optimized from Conan's body.
With her ability to create EX-grade items using props, she could easily make them without even needing to collect materials.
Becoming a Servant has some unexpected advantages.
After all, if it were her real body, she really couldn't refine it without the materials. Even if these materials were very simple, she wasn't the Herrscher of Reason and couldn't handcraft the materials.
"One furnace?"
"Hmm, I can probably refine dozens of them in one batch."
"what……"
Goldruff swallowed hard.
He really wanted this, but he was still somewhat self-aware. He had no relation to Bai Zhi, so why would this noble immortal give him such a pill?
I'll go back to sleep tonight, and I'll probably dream about it.
“But I can give one to Mashu and one to Ritsuka each.”
"Eh??"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"After all, I'm an immortal being. It would be very sad for me to see the person I love grow old like this, you know?"
Upon hearing this, Director Goldrov was so envious he almost ground his teeth to powder.
"Are you serious?"
He couldn't help but ask.
"Guess~"
Bai Zhi blinked and said with a smile.
"Can I work for you and you give me this as payment?"
"Hehe, it seems that Director really wants it."
Bai Zhi wanted to tease this chubby golden retriever.
"I think so, I really want to."
Goldruff answered eagerly.
Who wouldn't want to turn back the clock, especially a man like him who's already considered an older man, unlike the youthful Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu?
"Then it's estimated that Director will need to pay around 5 million credits or put in the corresponding labor to get it."
"Uh……"
Upon hearing this, Goldruff immediately deflated. It would have taken him 1000 years of work to pay back the previous 10 billion credits, and even with 500 million, it would still take 5 years.
If it were 1 million, he could try to live to be over a hundred years old, and then buy this medicine to be reborn. But he probably can't live for 500 years.
"The person I like..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes darted around, unsure of what kind of affection Bai Zhi had for her—was it a simple kind of affection, or something else entirely?
Thinking back on some of the previous situations, she felt increasingly troubled.
"Please don't joke like that. My senior and I really can't accept such a favor."
Mashu didn't seem to notice anything amiss and waved her hands repeatedly in refusal.
Something that sounds incredibly valuable is something she and her seniors really can't afford.
After all, she had always heard her seniors say that in Japan, people value these social obligations a lot. If someone gives you a big favor but you can't repay it, it can be very troublesome.
This kind of elixir cannot be explained by mere human kindness.
