Chapter 1547 "Tibetan Sea Flower" - News of the Bronze Gate
"Oh, okay," Xing Yun replied upon hearing Xia Ke's words.

"President Xia, are you doing this on purpose?" Jiang Chen's face darkened.

This isn't the first time Xia Ke has done this.

He was certain that Xia Ke did it on purpose.

She just couldn't stand seeing him with Xing Yun.

"President Jiang, this is a matter for my company," Xia Ke said.

"President Xia, do you think I can't find out about your company? Are you sure you didn't just go on a business trip to Hangzhou for no reason?" Jiang Chen's eyes were icy cold, as if they were poisoned.

He didn't react much to Xia Ke's antics because the First World was a society governed by the rule of law, and because of Shen Qing, who would later become his brother-in-law.
But this doesn't mean Jiang Chen will let Xia Ke keep running around forever.

"President Jiang, what do you mean by this?" Xia Ke pretended not to understand Jiang Chen's meaning.

"What do I mean? Don't you really understand? Xia Ke, it's time for you to let go." Jiang Chen's words were meaningful, and the meaning in his tone was very clear.

“You…” Xia Ke’s face turned pale and then red.

Although Jiang Chen's words were ordinary, the meaning was quite clear.

This is saying that Xia Ke is shameless.

"Mr. Xia."

Jiang Chen stepped forward and stood in front of Xia Ke, whispering, "Xing Yun and I have already done everything, so you should let go too."

Xia Ke's pupils contracted.

He's an adult and a smart man, so he naturally understands what it means to have already done everything.

Jiang Chen's meaning is quite clear.

"President Xia, I'd like to ask you for leave on behalf of Xing Yun. You won't disagree, will you?" Jiang Chen's eyes held a menacing gaze.

"Agreed." Xia Ke glanced at Jiang Chen and said through gritted teeth.

"Xing Yun, I've asked for leave for you." Jiang Chen looked at Xing Yun, seemingly wanting credit.

“I didn’t agree, so you can’t ask for leave for me.” Xing Yun naturally understood what Jiang Chen meant, but she was very dissatisfied with Jiang Chen’s unauthorized decision.

I've only spent a few hours with Jiang Chen, and he's already done so much. If I had stayed with him this afternoon, I might not have been able to go home.

“Then you should ask for leave yourself,” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Xing Yun.

“I…” Xing Yun hesitated.

“Xing Yun.” Xia Ke also looked at Xing Yun.

"President Xia, I would like to ask for leave," Xing Yun said after a moment's hesitation.

Xia Ke's expression changed slightly.

He never expected that Xing Yun would actually want to ask for leave.

The issue now isn't about whether or not to take leave, but about choosing sides.

Xing Yun is now on Jiang Chen's side.

“I think President Xia will definitely agree.” Jiang Chen looked at Xia Ke.

“Of course,” Xia Ke said, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen pulled Xing Yun away.

After walking for a while, Xing Yuncai said, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded happily.

Seeing Jiang Chen's smile, Xing Yun found it somewhat amusing.

Xing Yun thought Jiang Chen was like a little child.

“Next, we…” Jiang Chen smiled meaningfully.

“We’ll just take a walk. Yes, just a walk. A walk to aid digestion.” Xing Yun nodded.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen did not refuse.

“Then let’s walk forward together from here,” Xing Yun said.

"it is good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen and Xing Yun walked and talked along the sidewalk.

Their feelings for each other gradually deepened through their conversations.

"Jiang Chen, are you and your girlfriends like this too?" Xing Yun suddenly asked.

"Mm." Jiang Chen did not deny it.

Xing Yun fell silent.

"Xing Yun, haven't you accepted yet?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I...I haven't thought it through yet," Xing Yun said hesitantly.

"I'll wait." Jiang Chen wasn't surprised.

However, this is fine.

Given enough time, Xing Yun will definitely be able to accept it.

"I...I'll get back to you as soon as possible," Xing Yun said.

"It's okay, I really like you. Although it's my flaw, I will definitely treat you well," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Xing Yun also had feelings for Jiang Chen. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to see him anymore. However, she still couldn't quite accept the idea of ​​him being with Jiang Chen along with other women.

"There's a shopping mall up ahead, let's go check it out," Jiang Chen said, pointing to the mall ahead.

"Okay." Xing Yun nodded.

In just two hours, Jiang Chen bought hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of goods for Xing Yun. If Xing Yun hadn't stopped him, Jiang Chen might have bought even more.

However, Xing Yun said goodbye when leaving the mall.

"Are you really leaving?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Mm." Xing Yun nodded.

“Then I’ll take you back,” Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Xing Yun did not refuse.

After dropping Xing Yun off at home, Jiang Chen returned to East Suburb No. 1.

With his cultivation breakthrough to the Martial God Realm, and especially with the improvement in his mental strength, his work efficiency increased exponentially. This also meant that Jiang Chen, managing multiple companies, was spending less and less time at his workplace.

However, this also gave Jiang Chen more free time.

Upon arriving at East Suburb No. 1 and returning to Daming Palace, Jiang Chen found Cheng Shaoshang and the others.

"master."

Upon seeing Jiang Chen return, Cheng Shaoshang, Sun Toutou, Zhan Doudou, Li Hanyi, and Feng Wu stood up and bowed.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded and asked the five women to stand up: "How did your study of formations go today?"

Yes, it is a formation.

After signing in and obtaining the basics of basic formations, Jiang Chen added them to the Martial Pavilion. However, due to his advanced comprehension, his understanding of basic formations differed from that of others.

Cheng Shaoshang and his five daughters were Jiang Chen's carefully selected apprentices, and he naturally taught them by hand.

This is the same as Jiang Chen's two younger sisters (Jiang Meili and Jiang Meiyan) and his wives. As for the others (maids, guards, and stewards), they all learned it on their own.

"I'm not very skilled yet," Cheng Shaoshang said.

"I think it's a bit difficult," said Chief Sun.

Li Hanyi, Zhan Doudou, and Feng Wu also shared their feelings.

Because of different talents and different levels of understanding, their comprehension also differs.

"Not urgent."

Jiang Chen was not surprised by Cheng Shaoshang and the others' reaction.

However, practice makes perfect.

Even if someone has low comprehension, they can improve through practice.

Creating arrays, in essence, is quite simple: it involves using a talisman brush to record array runes onto array flags or plates that carry them. This is somewhat similar to talisman creation, except that runes are far more intricate and profound. Often, a single array flag or plate needs to record hundreds or even thousands of runes; the slightest error will render the entire effort futile. This is the main reason why array masters are so rare. Without exceptional talent and unwavering willpower, achieving anything in the art of arrays is simply a pipe dream.

When crafting arrays and drawing runes, although the runes are carried by the hides of demonic beasts or jade, the requirements for spiritual power are not as demanding as when making talismans. However, the hides or jade used as carriers of array flags still have limited capacity, so the crafter must be quite skilled in controlling spiritual power.

Cheng Shaoshang and the other three women had prior experience in making talismans, so Jiang Chen was quite confident in their abilities.

In Jiang Chen's view, as long as Cheng Shaoshang and the other five women start drawing runes, he will still use the original method: first, repeatedly copy the array runes on the talisman paper until he can complete them in one go, and then start carving them on the jade.

However, the most difficult part is the crafting of the matching plates.

Because it was a basic formation, Jiang Chen sought out jade from the First World and the Spirit Realm.

"Hmm, the jade is a little different today?" Jiang Chen noticed the jade with the array plate engraved on it.

The jade used to inscribe array plates typically possesses special properties. For example, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the novel *Battle Through the Heavens* is semi-transparent, with ancient runes inscribed on its surface, and flame totems appear under moonlight. When infused with energy, it releases a mist of light that condenses into a three-zhang-tall phantom of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, its eyes positioned according to the coordinates of his cave dwelling. This jade is the sole key to opening the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling and possesses special functions such as suppressing evil energy and purifying energy.

In addition, there are blank jade slips and special spirit stones. Blank jade slips require a small condensed light array to be carved on the jade to record the contents.

Special spirit stones used to inscribe array plates may possess rare attributes. For example, the Heavenly Origin Stone in the novel "Xian Ni" has white veins and can stimulate potential; the Purple Gold Stone has golden spots on its surface and extremely high energy density; and the Star Crystal is associated with the starry sky and can communicate with stellar power. These spirit stones are often used as core materials for array formations.

However, to put it bluntly, there are only three characteristics of the array plate jade.

First, the materials are rare: mostly jade, spiritual marrow, or special minerals. Second, the processing is complex: it requires carving array patterns, runes, or condensed light arrays. Third, the functions are diverse: it can suppress evil spirits, purify energy, and enhance power.

"Master, these jade stones were just delivered from the Spirit Realm today. Is there a problem?" Headmaster Sun asked.

“No problem, the quality of the jade is better than before,” Jiang Chen said.

"It seems to be better than the previous jade," Cheng Shaoshang said.

"Master, if we use the kind of jade from our spatial jade pendant, could we..." Feng Wu didn't finish her question, but her meaning was clear.

"Although this kind of jade is called Hetian jade pendant, it's not ordinary jade that can open up space. Not to mention our current strength, even the top experts in the Fourth World can't do it," Jiang Chen explained.

"So amazing?" Feng Wu exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this abnormal? If it were ordinary jade, would it have such miraculous properties?" Jiang Chen knew that Hetian jade pendants, top-grade glass-type jadeite bracelets, and even spatial bags were indestructible. The reason they possessed such properties was because they were infused with fortune. As long as the fortune remained, the spatial pendant formed from the Hetian jade pendant, the spatial bracelet formed from the top-grade glass-type jadeite bracelet, and the spatial bag were all indestructible. This also meant that their materials were extraordinary.

"Too."

Feng Wu and the others nodded.

"It's still early today, let me continue the lesson," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Feng Wu and the others nodded.

At that moment, Jiang Chen began his lecture.

In Jiang Chen's view, formations and talismans are all external objects, merely auxiliary tools.

Therefore, as long as there are enough talismans and formations, they can be used without restraint during battles.

According to the game's method, it means spending money.

However, it's not an exaggeration to say that it involves spending real money.

Each talisman and formation is priceless.

Even martial artists (cultivators) dare not use it recklessly.

……

The Grand Capital of the Spirit Realm, the Jiang Residence.

"Master, we have discovered a jade mine on the Eastern Continent." Upon hearing Jiang Chen's question about the jade mine, Sheng Liya replied truthfully, "This jade mine was also discovered by the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were purchasing medicinal herbs in the southwest."

"Explain in detail," Jiang Chen asked.

Jade is divided into two types: nephrite and jadeite.

In the First World, nephrite was represented by Hetian jade, while jadeite was represented by jadeite, each forming its own distinct category.

Nephrite belongs to the amphibole group and has many varieties, including Xiuyan jade, Nanyang jade, Lantian jade, Hetian jade, agate, crystal, coral, turquoise, lapis lazuli, etc. Jadeite specifically refers to jadeite, which belongs to the pyroxene group. It has a dense texture, a vitreous luster, and a faint crystalline structure when viewed against the light.

The jade in the spirit world is similar to the jade in the first world.

However, because there are martial artists in the Spirit Realm, the spiritual energy is relatively denser than in the First World. Therefore, the quality of jade there is better than that in the First World.

“Yes, I sent people to investigate this jade mine after it was discovered. It contains more spiritual energy than ordinary jade mines, so the jade mined from it is of better quality than the jade we usually get,” Sheng Liya said.

"Where is the jade mine? I want to go and see it," Jiang Chen said.

“The jade mine is…” Sheng Liya gave an address.

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Jiang Chen came to the Spirit Realm specifically for the jade mine.

After all, the better the jade mined, the greater its benefit to the Jiang family.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen flew to Mo Sang.

Mosang is located in the southwest of the Eastern Continent.

That is, the place where jade mines were discovered.

The Eastern Continent and Asia in the First World are somewhat similar.

Therefore, in the southwest of the Eastern Continent, there is also a mountain range similar to the Himalayas, called the Moga Mountains.

"Mo Sang? That name sounds familiar."

Jiang Chen looked down at Mo Sang.

Mosang is a county town.

Even in high school, Jiang Chen could tell that there were only tens of thousands of people in Mo Sang.

next moment.

Jiang Chen's figure flickered and appeared on a mountain.

"Is that the jade mine over there?"

Jiang Chen looked at the jade mine in the distance.

At this time, two mine shafts had been opened in the jade mine, and many miners were going in and out of the mine shafts.

"Should we replace the mining equipment with First World equipment?"

Mining equipment in the spirit world mainly includes several types.

Drilling equipment refers to rotary drilling rigs, widely used in open-pit mines. They break rocks by rotating the rotary cones and are suitable for medium-hard rock formations. Tunneling equipment refers to horizontal tunnel drilling rigs, which advance tunnels by continuously breaking rocks and removing muck.

The mining machinery is the pneumatic disc coal mining machine, which uses a pneumatic drive method and is also the representative equipment of mechanized coal mining in the Spirit Realm.

Other auxiliary equipment includes rock drilling rigs (used for underground mine blasting operations, using a hydraulic system to drive the drill bit to break rock) and electric wheel mining dump trucks (used for open-pit mine transportation, with a load capacity of up to 154 tons).

These devices are far inferior to those of the First World. If they were replaced with mining equipment from the First World, the mining speed would certainly be much faster. However, if those mining devices were seen, people would definitely try to take advantage of them.

However, if this mining equipment is inevitably discovered, they will definitely try every means to obtain it.

Unless special means are used.

“Using special methods in the spirit world is not troublesome.”

"Kill them if they're discovered."

"There is no family planning in the spirit world. There are plenty of people. Even if hundreds of millions are killed, it won't have any impact."

After touring the jade mine, Jiang Chen arrived at Mo Sang.

After wandering around Mo Sang, Jiang Chen heard a lot of news.

"I see."

"Is Mo Sang the same Mo Sang from 'Tibetan Sea Flower'?"

Jiang Chen thought of Mo Sang because of "Tibetan Sea Flower" and the bronze gate.

The series features two bronze gates, one located at the Heavenly Palace atop Changbai Mountain and the other in the Himalayas of Tibet, sparking numerous speculations about the ultimate secret behind them. These speculations include endless treasures, ancient legends, or some unknown power, all of which fuel endless imagination.

In *Tibetan Sea Flower*, Wu Xie and his companions, while searching for Xiao Ge's past, uncover the bronze gate hidden in the Himalayas. During the ten years Xiao Ge guarded the bronze gate in Changbai Mountain for Wu Xie, Wu Xie and Fatty embarked on a journey to uncover the mystery of Xiao Ge's origins. Finally, upon reaching the Tibetan Himalayas, they discovered the bronze gate, and in the process, also revealed the secret of Yama riding a corpse and Xiao Ge's true identity.

Compared to the majestic bronze gate of Changbai Mountain, this bronze gate in Tibet was a carefully designed trap by the Zhang family, intended to lure the Wang family and mislead other tomb raiders. The Tibetan bronze gate was an elaborate trap designed to deceive the Wang family and other tomb raiders. They extensively laid false clues throughout various tombs, enticing their targets to this fake bronze gate in Tibet.

"According to the story, the bronze door hides the Tibetan Sea Flower, a mysterious plant that can prolong life. Its spores are radioactive, causing mutations in organisms such as the Mizhatuo, and it also parasitizes the eggs of the Golden Coccidia. Every 80 years when the Tibetan Sea Flower matures, the Golden Coccidia hatch and cause disasters, but the Zhang family limits its spread through the bronze door."

"So, is this Tibetan sea flower real?"

Jiang Chen was deep in thought.

If the Tibetan sea flower behind this bronze door truly has the power to grant immortality, then I must obtain it.

"Once we get back, we'll have the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate."

"However, the space behind this bronze door may be a secret realm in the spirit world."

"Perhaps the 'Hidden Flower' has merged with the spirit world, and there are other treasures as well."

After leaving Mo Sang, Jiang Chen flew into the sky.

"Mount Mega?"

Jiang Chen surveyed the Moga Mountains.

The Moga Mountains extend in a near-east-west direction, forming an arc that juts out to the southwest.

According to Jiang Chen's assessment, the highest peak of the Moga Mountain Range exceeds 10,000 meters.

"The Moga Mountain Range is so vast, I wonder how many rare and precious treasures it contains."

"wrong……"

"There are martial artists in the Spirit Realm, and there might even be hidden powerhouses in the Moga Mountains."

The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

However, Jiang did not go to investigate the martial artists in the Moga Mountains, but returned to Shengdu.

After arriving at the Jiang residence, Jiang Chen explained the situation of the jade mine to Feng Xin'er, Sheng Liya, and the others, and then talked about the bronze gate.

Of course, Jiang Chen couldn't say that he learned it from the drama.

They only said they found out about it.

"So, Patriarch, you want me to investigate the Zhang family?" Mu Tong asked.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "It's about investigating the Zhang family in Northeast China. However, we need to be careful and cautious when conducting the investigation."
