Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1562 - 417: Chain Reaction, Red Soil Mix

But as for the Red Soil, there is a legend that says it is actually a kind of compound soil.It is formed by mixing various types of soil.

And the related proportions have always existed, but unfortunately, they are all of no use.

This time, I heard that a slightly incomplete formula appeared on the rubbing associated with the name of Yuan Lord.

I tried it out, and unexpectedly, it really worked."

The group of deans was somewhat surprised. The Red Soil is related to Yuan Lord?

After finding a way to create Red Soil, everyone took turns congratulating Dean Nong, as it was beneficial for everyone.

Because according to records, several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures require Red Soil to grow.

Otherwise, you can only try your luck in various Forbidden Lands, hoping to stumble upon a wild one someday.

The wild ones aren't as finicky as the carefully cultivated ones.

Without enough Red Soil, several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures become quite delicate and capricious.

Transplant them, and they die on you.

Try to propagate them, and they die on you.

Step in with your right foot today, and they die on you.

Chu Ye stepped forward, grabbed a handful of Red Soil, and after confirming several times, had a strange expression.

"Incredible, the legend that has always been considered mere hearsay is actually true?"

He had heard of legends about Red Soil being a mixture of soil proportions, and every few years a new formula would pop up.

The point was, the process seemed too simple, so there was a time when people claimed every year to have created Red Soil.

This became a classic joke among Dao Cultivators and within the two academies.

When mocking someone for lack of research results, they'd say the person created Red Soil.

Chu Ye really didn't expect Dean Nong's significant achievement to be this.

Faced with everyone's congratulations, Dean Nong waved his hand and pointed to Jia Jinfeng, who was standing in the back, quietly observing.

"It was he who discovered the rubbing on the stele and remembered its contents.

He has the foundation, the patience, and the formula isn't too severely lacking.

As long as he experiments slowly, it won't take long for him to succeed as well.

This isn't my doing."

"No, no, no..." Jia Jinfeng was startled and waved his hands hastily: "Dean Nong is giving me too much credit; I'm still learning and don't fully understand."

Dean Nong, looking serious, said,

"Precisely because you haven't learned much, you're not constrained by limitations.

Langya Institute has that rubbing; they can see it too, but they're sure not to succeed.

They wouldn't think the total formula count is eight hundred and seventeen.

That number isn't even within their framework.

In fact, they might not even try..."

Dean Nong was somewhat dismissive of Langya Institute, but the deans from Langya Institute remained silent, agreeing with him somewhat.

Because indeed, forming Red Soil has been an enduring joke...

Langya Institute, well, everyone understands.

If there were actual results, they would have announced it to the world already.

Chu Ye nodded, leading the laughter, pulling out a bunch of Jade Scrolls, and using a complex arrangement, sent a message to Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing had instructed that if there was any news about the Five-Colored Soil, it must be reported to him; it was of utmost importance.

The atmosphere on the Big Island was quite joyful.

At Langya Institute, some people also found it quite amusing.

They indeed did not place much value on the remnants in the rubbings; there were too many Red Soil proportions in various ancient texts.

But some people still tried, naturally failing, and then brought out the longstanding joke.

On the other side, Yu Ziqing had already arrived at Dazhen, busying himself with the first Super Large Spirit Transformation Array.

He received Chu Ye's message, noted down each Jade Scroll's breaking sequence, and carefully cross-checked it against the text corresponding to his records.

He pulled out a small booklet, noting everything down, looking shocked at the list.

"Good heavens, is this how Red Soil comes about? And it's related to Yuan Lord?"

When Yu Ziqing last spoke with the Mountain Lord, he wanted to ask who the key figures of Cheng Daku and Daxun were.

But the Mountain Lord did not say, proving that his related memories had not been unsealed yet.

Now it seems, eighty percent, Yuan Lord was that key figure from the Kun Character times.

Moreover, this figure was also related to Red Soil's proportions, appearing together on a stele rubbing. It's impossible to say there's no connection.

These figures' names have been so heavily obscured that they wouldn't appear in meaningless places.

He must visit Langya Institute and look at that rubbing. If he could find where the original stele is, even better.

Yu Ziqing glanced at the list; most of them aren't precious items, with some suffixes like 'soil', indicating they are the cheapest, found in abundance in many places.

The relatively scarce items were only those that could be used as materials.

Yu Ziqing immediately sent a message to Deceitful Ghost, enclosing the list and asking him to give it a try first, and if feasible, to prepare as much as possible.

The quantity he needed was by no means small, requiring transport by the mountain load.

After sending out the message, Yu Ziqing immediately had some materials prepared, and while in Dazhen, gathered a bit of material to personally try it out.

When using the proportions, adding a slight adjustment to correct errors, a bucket of Red Soil successfully appeared, which Yu Ziqing then threw into the Dao Court.

A bucket of Red Soil scattered in the southern part of the Dao Court, snug against the center of the Yellow Land, and an odd feeling welled up in Yu Ziqing's heart.

No doubt about it, this is Red Soil.

A Red Soil that can be utilized by the Dao Court, seeming quite barren at first glance.

Yu Ziqing let out a sigh of relief. The method for mass-producing Red Soil appeared quite unexpectedly.

Now, it was just White Soil that remained inscrutable, with no known method of acquiring it in large quantities.

The quantity of Black Soil was the largest; it could be directly dug at the Mud Sea of the Muddied World by the Abyss.

Green Soil comes from those strange beings in the deep sea.

Yellow Soil could continue to be sought after; if there are still giant sharks in the East Sea, it would be worth trying with Wu Shuangge again.
