Volume 1: Chapter 41 - The Projection Magic Gets a Major Upgrade!
Luo Zhen guessed that his appearance would cause a great disturbance, but he didn't care. Just as the center of the tornado was calm, there was no disturbance around him either, only peace and tranquility.
The residence that Jingyuan arranged for him was a rather high-end fairy boat-style building with upturned eaves, vermilion-lacquered pillars, and a winding bluestone path through the courtyard, with flowers on both sides swaying gracefully in the breeze.
Luo Zhen sat in front of the courtyard, studying his system panel.
After completing Bai Lu's request, Luo Zhen had collected 10,000 request crystals, which he could use to enhance his projection magic.
Now, it's time to reap the rewards.
He opened the projection magic and selected enhancement. Several options popped up in the system:
Please select your enhancement direction.
[Direction 1: Enhance the upper limit of projection magic, enabling the projection of more advanced items]
[Direction Two: Expand the projection range, from being good at projecting swords and other similar items to being good at projecting all types of items]
[Option 3: Reduce the magic power required for projection]
Luo Zhen pondered that all three directions were quite good, and it wasn't that choosing one meant you couldn't choose another; as long as you had enough commission crystals, you could choose any of them.
He just doesn't have enough crystals to entrust right now.
Having fused with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, he wasn't lacking in magic power, so he eliminated option three. As for whether to prioritize the upper limit or the width, after much deliberation, Luo Zhen ultimately chose the upper limit.
Choose option one.
[You have been enhanced]
Luo Zhen could clearly perceive the changes in the projection magic, and new knowledge flooded into his mind, making the projection magic even more complex and profound.
Magic itself is a product of knowledge. In theory, as long as one's magical skill is high enough, one can simulate the power of gods or the destructive power of divine artifacts. For example, Morgan from the FGO Lostbelt used magic to create twenty sacred lances, Rungonimides.
While he was quietly absorbing this knowledge, Qingque served him a plate of sliced fruit, and Fu Xuan brewed him the finest Mao Yunfeng tea, making him feel very comfortable.
Luo Zhen chuckled and said, "I never expected to be able to drink tea personally brewed by Fu Taibu. I am truly honored."
Fu Xuan said, "Compared to your contributions, I'm just making tea. It's nothing. There are plenty of people outside who would like to make tea for you."
Qingque said, "Lord Taibu is very busy and probably doesn't have time to brew tea every day. Why don't I act as the liaison between the shopkeeper and the Immortal Boat?"
Her idea was wonderful: if she could get this job, wouldn't she be able to slack off every day?
Fu Xuan saw through her little scheme at a glance: "Qing Que, as the lowest-ranking diviner, if you act as the liaison between Xianqi Erling Temple and Mr. Luo Zhen, I'm afraid the Chiming Clan will consider it a sign of disrespect."
"Unless you are promoted to a higher position."
"Let's forget about it."
Qingque knew perfectly well that once she took on a higher position, Fu Xuan would have plenty of ways and means to maximize her workload.
You won't be able to enjoy a peaceful retirement then; you'll only get busier and busier, and it won't be easy to quit your job.
Even with such a good job and money, it would be difficult to explain to one's family if one resigned.
"If you're unwilling, then prepare to work overtime."
Fu Xuan said, "I'll stay by Luo Zhen's side for the time being, not only as a bridge for communication, but also to avoid some necessary troubles for him. As my work is shared, your workload will definitely increase."
While theoretically, given Luo Zhen's current reputation, no one would be foolish enough to come up and annoy him, what if? No one can guarantee that someone won't have a brain fart.
Qingque didn't want to work overtime: "Lord Taibu, you must need someone to help you. I'll assist you and do some small things for you."
Fu Xuan straightened his chest, which remained flat, and said confidently, "I am the Grand Diviner. I can fulfill any request Luo Zhen makes. I don't need you to help me. Go and work overtime."
"Oh?"
Luo Zhen suddenly leaned forward, his warm breath brushing against the stray hairs by her ear.
"Can you really grant any request, My Lord?"
Fu Xuan's divine eyes suddenly flickered rapidly, and a scene of the Chiming Clan being pregnant flashed through his mind. Could it be that they want him to have a child? His previous imposing aura immediately weakened by three points.
She instinctively took a half step back, her delicate earlobes visibly flushing crimson, which also tinged her neck with a light red.
"Of course, this refers to reasonable needs within the scope of official duties!"
"Of course it makes sense, it makes perfect sense."
Luo Zhen deliberately dragged out the conversation, "I want to touch Fu Xuan..."
!!!
Obscene!
Before Fu Xuan could utter a rebuke, he heard the rest of Luo Zhen's sentence.
"Your discerning eye."
As long as it wasn't something vulgar, Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "My Dharma Eye? You do have good eyesight. This was bestowed by the All-Knowing Heavenly Lord. It can see through the cycle of cause and effect, all phenomena in the world, past events, and future changes. It can see the whole universe. Under the Dharma Eye, everything is clear and without omission."
Well said, but you didn't realize that Tingyun was actually Huanlong in disguise. The real Tingyun was picked up by Ruanmei in the Star Sea.
Luo Zhen's fingers gently touched Fu Xuan's forehead.
The physical bodies of celestial beings possess a unique rejection mechanism, generating a strong rejection reaction to any substance that is not inherent to the immortal species itself.
For example, a person born blind will never see the light. If a prosthetic eye is implanted, it will cause a strong rejection reaction. Within a few days, the person will spontaneously reject the prosthetic eye in unbearable pain.
The Dharma Eye between Fu Xuan's eyebrows required her to carve out flesh and bone to embed it. Because it was bestowed by the Star God of Wisdom, it could resist the rejection of the power of abundance.
But the pain will not disappear. From the moment she received this eye, she has endured endless torment. Despite such suffering, she can still remain calm and composed, whether in work, life, or in her interactions with others. This is truly admirable.
Luo Zhen's magic surged into his Dharma Eye:
Projection, begin:
Identify creative ideas
Scenario Basic Framework
Copy the component material
Imitation production technology
Empathetic growth experience
Replay cumulative years
Overcoming and completing many projects──
At this very moment, the item that embodies fantasy is completed—
A divine eye materialized from its illusory form in Luo Zhen's palm.
“Dharma Eye!”
Fu Xuan was shocked, while Luo Zhen shook his head: "It's just an empty shell. How can the creation of the Venerable Bo Shi be so easily replicated?"
To be honest, the projection was extremely difficult. This was a creation of the Star God, far more prestigious than the weapons created by the God of the Moon. Moreover, it wasn't a sword or blade. Luo Zhen used all his strength but could only project a thin layer of skin, so its function was practically nonexistent.
If the projection magic hadn't been upgraded, even this layer of skin wouldn't have been projected.
He tried it out. It didn't have many of the functions of the Fu Xuan Fa Yan, and could only be used to identify and analyze items. That was enough for him. With the projection magic, if someone had something good, he could just look at it and analyze and project it without having to maintain contact like he did now.
Volume 1: Chapter 42 - The All-Knowing Lord and the New Guest
Luo Zhen sighed, "If only you had asked Master Boshi for a sword."
If it were a sword, it could at least simulate some of the power, and then it would be able to kill indiscriminately.
Fu Xuan said strangely, "As a diviner, I don't need to fight, so what do I need a sword for? This Divine Eye can greatly enhance my divination ability. Combined with the Qiong Guan Formation, under the Divine Eye, everything is clear."
"If it's really a battle, let the general go. If I can become the General of Luofu one day, I will naturally have the divine lord bestowed by the Emperor Bow Master."
"Moreover, the All-Knowing Heavenly Lord only reveres knowledge. Those who come to see Him can only ask questions; it is impossible for Him to bestow any powerful divine artifacts."
Luo Zhen laughed and said, "Why didn't you pay homage to the Emperor's Bow Master? Is it because you didn't have enough time for the hunt?"
Fu Xuan became a little anxious and argued, "It's normal for the Grand Diviner to admire the All-Knowing Heavenly Lord. Besides, General Jingyuan has never even met the Emperor Bow Master, so it's normal for a mere Grand Diviner like me not to have met him either."
At this moment, the jade tablet between Fu Xuan's waist and the fin of the temple (seven) suddenly emitted a clear light. With a light tap of her fingertip, Jing Yuan's face appeared from the light screen, his golden eyes filled with a smile.
His voice was gentle:
"Lord Luo Zhen, are you satisfied with the accommodations arranged for you?"
Luo Zhen glanced at the courtyard: "It's nice, I like it very much."
The bronze wind chimes under the eaves tinkled, and a wisteria vine was in full bloom, its pale purple blossoms hanging down over the winding corridor, creating a picturesque scene with the koi swimming in the pond.
Amidst the rockery, several clumps of green bamboo sway in the wind, casting dappled shadows on the wall.
The area outside the gate is more like a garden than a courtyard, covering a vast area. The celestial boat's cave-heaven technology is very advanced, so there is no shortage of land.
“陸玖翅翏久亦+拔{$陸喜欢就好”
Jing Yuan laughed, "This was personally selected by Fu Qing. It seems you all have similar tastes."
Luo Zhen smiled and said, "To become a Grand Diviner, one must naturally possess unparalleled insight."
Fu Xuan raised his chin slightly, clearly enjoying himself.
Luo Zhen asked, "What business does General Jingyuan have with me?"
"Lord Luo Zhen is indeed a man of few words. I will get straight to the point then."
Jing Yuan's expression turned serious. "Dragon Master Gou Chen took the initiative to apologize to me. He colluded with the Medicine King's secret lineage, embezzled the Abundant Divine Miracle Jianmu, and the Pill Cauldron Division has completely become the Medicine King's secret lineage's stronghold."
He laughed and said, "It seems that it is because you gave the Vidyadhara clan hope that they took the initiative to admit their sins and sever ties in order to avoid affecting the clan. This is all thanks to you."
"What I'd like to ask you is, what are your plans for dealing with this Dragon Master?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Luo Zhen said, "I have no intention of getting involved in politics."
Jing Yuan explained, "You may not know this yet, but the Dragon Lords have reached an agreement to appoint you as their master. You can use all resources at will, and all members of the Chiming Clan must obey your orders."
“You are now the true Lord of Wisdom, and the formal ceremony and tokens are on their way. This is indeed under your jurisdiction.”
Although Luo Zhen felt he didn't need the Wisdom Clan, this attitude still made him quite comfortable.
Even if you say that, I still don't like micro-management.
