Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 176 A New Trump Card
In the courtyard, all the disciples cheered, their cheers startling the birds roosting in the bamboo grove outside, who fluttered away to other places.

Any form of differential treatment can easily lead to the division of a group, especially differential treatment involving huge interests.

They were all originally close fellow disciples, but some of them were chosen to do tasks and received as much as three to five high-grade spirit stones per month, while others were not so lucky. It's impossible for anyone not to have complaints.

Most importantly, this shows that the senior brother doesn't seem to trust them.

This feeling of not being trusted is what damages a relationship the most.

Now that their senior brother had revealed some of the inside story, everyone realized the thrilling struggle that had taken place in places they didn't know about, and the resentment in their hearts immediately dissipated.

Among these disciples, some were themselves from affiliated families.

People like Zhang Shan and Feng Yuan.

However, they were not from those large families, and the resources their families could provide for them were actually limited.

Therefore, they did not have a strong sense of the need to protect the interests of their affiliated families.

Therefore, after a short while, all the disciples expressed their willingness to join Zhou Qing's team.

The team that inscribed the talismans instantly expanded from fewer than twenty people to sixty.

Zhou Qing no longer had to live a frugal life like before, and could now spread his talismans out on a large scale.

In the past, his talismans were mostly concentrated in shops near the seven Golden Core sects. Now he can gradually distribute the talismans to other shops that are not so large. In addition, with the Wei family shops that he has taken over, once everything is stable, the resources he can mobilize will be considerable.

With his strength growing and his business expanding, he can continue to enhance his competitiveness.

Zhou Qing continued to develop some basic Five Elements talismans. He already had talismans for the Wood and Metal elements. If he could complete the other three elements, he would be able to monopolize the basic Five Elements talismans.

Of course, it is important to maintain good relationships with the relevant sects during this process. With the successful experiences of the Longevity Sect and the Crimson Fire Sect, he believed that these challenges could be overcome.

However, before developing new talismans, he needed to address a pressing matter.

That was the promise I made to Wu Tao.

He assured that he could transmit his voice to Wu Tao silently and without attracting attention. This was not a sudden idea of ​​his, but rather a new trick he was developing that could also be used to transmit messages.

That's infrasound.

Sound travels in the form of waves, which have different frequencies. Some of these frequencies are audible to the human ear, while others are inaudible.

Sound waves with frequencies higher than those perceptible to the human ear are called ultrasound, while those with frequencies lower than those perceptible to the human ear are called infrasound.

Infrasound has strong penetrating power and a wide propagation range; it can even travel thousands of miles.

Zhou Qing is considering inventing a communication method that uses infrasound as a carrier.

It can then be applied to the formation competition.

This method of communication consists of two key parts: the excitation of infrasound waves and their reception and decoding.

Zhou Qing already had a good grasp of these things, which is why he dared to boast.

In addition to its communication function, infrasound can also be used to defeat enemies.

Specific infrasound waves can resonate with specific internal organs in the human body, thereby destroying these organs.

This is an attack method that is almost impossible to defend against.

It's like using an invisible hand to pass directly through a person's body and grab their internal organs.

No matter how robust the human body is, it is essentially non-existent to infrasound waves; this is determined by the nature of sound waves.

Unless it's a vacuum, it's very difficult to shield against this kind of sonic attack. Spiritual energy can alleviate it to some extent, but the effect is not ideal.

Of course, a cultivator's internal organs are far stronger than those of an ordinary person, so for infrasound to be effective, it must be driven by even stronger energy.

Zhou Qing is developing this method now because his magnetic field ability has only now reached this potential.

He has been training his ability to oscillate magnetic fields and trying his best to increase the frequency of magnetic field vibration. Now he can finally vibrate metal with a high frequency of magnetic field, causing it to vibrate at a specific frequency and emit sound waves of various frequencies.

Now, he needs to choose a specific metal.

This metal can not only be vibrated by magnetic fields, but also possesses the property of being easily influenced by spiritual energy.

With this metal, he could begin to build an infrasound receiver.

To obtain this metal, one should undoubtedly start with the Weapon Refining Institute.

Unfortunately, the entire Qimen Hall is Bai Muyun's territory, so no one would welcome him.

Left with no other choice, he had to ask someone who wouldn't be suspected by Bai Muyun to help him search.

He asked Fang Yuhe for help.

Seven or eight days have passed, and he expects there will be a result soon.

As Zhou Qing had expected, Fang Yuhe arrived at his courtyard the next day at noon.

Fang Yuhe didn't rush to talk about the matter Zhou Qing had entrusted to him. Instead, he looked at him with a complicated expression, which included shock, envy, and frustration.

Clearly, he had also received news that Zhou Qing had killed Wei Xing.

Although he had long accepted the fact that he was no match for Zhou Qing, no matter how imaginative he was, he could never have imagined that the gap between the two would be so great.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Are you in a difficult situation right now?"

He is now likely to become a thorn in the side of the affiliated families. Fang Yuhe himself comes from an affiliated family, so he will inevitably be under pressure.

Fang Yuhe shook his head and said, "The truth may surprise you; the affiliated families are not actually that hostile towards you."

“The affiliated families are not a monolithic entity. Only a few families can benefit from the current order, while most are just barely maintaining it.”

“In the past, there was no choice but to rely on those big families. Now your sudden rise is like giving many small families a chance to choose.”

"As far as I know, many small families are already eager to make their move, just waiting for a leader to take the lead."

Zhou Qing smiled and asked, "Where is your Fang family?"

Fang Yuhe smiled and said, "They are still observing, but my uncle wrote to me yesterday, asking me to keep in touch with you more."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "If the Fang family is interested, I can offer them very generous terms, out of respect for Brother Fang."

Fang Yuhe said, "Afterwards, I will convey my senior brother's promise to my uncle."

Zhou Qing nodded and asked, "How's the matter I entrusted to you last time?"

Fang Yuhe took out a package from his pocket, inside which was a thick stack of very thin metal sheets.

The metal sheet is only the size of a palm.

Zhou Qing sensed it with his magnetic field, a smile appearing on his face. He said, "This is exactly what I need. Thank you, Brother Fang."

Fang Yuhe laughed and said, "It's just a trivial matter, nothing to mention."
