Qian Ai was feeling rather anxious. Because, although theoretically, the road is infinitely broad and contains infinite possibilities, everything has been created or is being created, and this kind of matter should exist. But existence and being able to be found or created are two completely different concepts. She was once a distinguished demon cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and was extremely knowledgeable, yet she had never heard of this kind of substance. Obviously, this substance should be very difficult to obtain. "Just take your time looking for it." Xu Gu looked calm, not nervous at all. Of course this substance exists. And it’s certainly very easy to find or make. Because, this kind of substance existed on Earth in the past, and it was called isotopes. Usually, different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.

Isotopes have almost identical chemical properties but different physical properties. Simply put, it is the difference between colored sand and ordinary sand. In this world, the mysterious means are obviously stronger than the technological means on Earth in the previous life. Since people on Earth in the previous life could easily find and use isotopes of different atoms, it is obviously not difficult to do so in this world. "hiss!" As expected, it wasn't long before Qian Ai exclaimed, with a look of surprise and excitement, "This substance actually exists! And there are so many of them!" Her gesture was like opening the door to a new world. His face was full of shock. Xu Gu's expression changed and he asked, "Found it? So quickly?" Obviously, he was somewhat surprised that he found it so quickly. "Not yet." Qian Ai said. "No?" Xu Gu raised his eyebrows. Didn't he see your expression? Are you kidding me? Qian Ai said: “But I found a lot of similar substances. “For example, this water actually comes in several types! "Although they are all ordinary water, exactly the same water, the basic elements that make them up are not exactly the same. Some are light, some are heavy, and some glow. “It’s just water, the air, the stone, the wood, etc. It’s all like this. "Oh my god, I never noticed this before." "..."Xu Gu was speechless. I'm not here to train you to be a scientist! Qian Ai said: "No one has ever discovered such a magical phenomenon before. Do you think I should give it a name?" Xu Gu said directly: "Someone has already discovered it and given it a name. “The elements you are talking about are called atoms. "The phenomenon you are talking about is called the isotope phenomenon."

"Oh? Really?" Qian Ai obviously felt a sense of loss, and said, "If someone hadn't known about it long ago, I would have continued to study along this path and maybe I could have achieved enlightenment through it!" Xu Gu's mouth twitched. You are the golden elixir, or my golden elixir, what a joke. But, can this also lead to enlightenment? Xu Gu was obviously a little surprised. Xu Gu didn't dwell on these things, but asked: "Where is the substance I asked you to find?" "I'm looking for it." Qian Ai said, "I need a little source of corruption." Xu Gu didn't say much, raised his hand, and a black line floated down and landed in front of Qian Ai. Qian Ai began to deduce seriously. After a moment, Qian Ai panted and said, "Finally found it. This source of corruption is nothing special. "The atoms that make up the root of corruption are common." "Nonsense." Xu Gu rolled his eyes and said, "This corruption is the devouring of the vitality and material formation of this world. Of course, it is no different from the basic atoms that make up this world. "Where's the isotope I asked you to find that's suitable for monitoring?" Qian Ai said: “This is very suitable. “This type of atom is the basic atom that constitutes spiritual power. "There is an isotope among them that is very sensitive to special frequencies and intensities of divine consciousness, and will glow when encountered." Xu Gu widened his eyes, somewhat surprised. Spiritual power is actually made up of atoms? This seems... quite scientific. Of course, it is also possible that the basic substance that constitutes spiritual power is not atoms, but something else, but Qian Ai regarded it as atoms. After all, she only knew the concept of an atom. Don’t know the microscopic concepts of protons, neutrons, electrons, neutrinos, photons, etc. "Do they have names?" Qian Ai asked. She is still obsessed with naming them. Xu Gu shook his head and said, "Give them all names." Qian Ai said: "Let's call them Spiritual Force Atom 1, Spiritual Force Atom 2, and Spiritual Force Atom 3. The substance you want is Spiritual Force Atom 3." Xu Gu didn't care. It was all a casual matter. Then he asked the most crucial question: "Is it easy to obtain?" "Hiss! It doesn't seem that easy." Qian Ai suddenly took a breath and said, "Shall I look for another suitable one?" Xu Gu nodded and said, "Let me first tell you why it's not easy."

Qian Ai said: "Spiritual Atom 3 only exists in places with rich spiritual energy, and its content is pitifully small compared to Spiritual Atom 1 and Spiritual Atom 2. “If you want to make all the monks who have accumulated a large amount of corruption essence revealed, they will not be able to hide. “We must use a large amount of Spiritual Atoms 3 to replace the Spiritual Atoms 2 and 1 in the East China Sea’s spiritual energy. “The amount of spiritual energy atoms 3 that will be needed will be enormous. "It may take tens of billions of spirit stones to extract it." These are hundreds of billions of spirit stones. They are not numbers, nor are they bills. They are not priceless magical weapons or spiritual objects. They are real spirit stones. You should know that even an immortal sect may not be able to take them out directly. "What did you say?" Xu Gu was stunned: "Hundreds of billions? Only hundreds of billions?" "Is it a lot?" Qian Ai felt that it was an astronomical figure. "I thought it was more." Xu Gu's mouth twitched: "You are indeed the inner demon of the old leader of Yin Yang Sect. The decline of Yin Yang Sect and the Demonic Path is due to you." Hundreds of billions of spirit stones, does this have anything to do with the word "many"? Han Changsheng, the eldest senior brother of the Daliang Demon Cave, alone can bear billions of accounts. These hundreds of billions of spirit stones are nothing but a drizzle for some powerful people. In fact, for Xu Gu, it was just a drizzle. After all, the worth of a normal late or peak fusion cultivator should be around 10 billion spirit stones. "Of course, it is a bit troublesome to directly take out the spirit stone." Xu Gu said: "Then we can only ask for help." It would be easy for him to ask the righteous path or the imperial court to collect 10 billion spiritual stones. There is no need to even say that it is to save the entire East China Sea. As he said that, he crushed a piece of talisman paper and contacted Zhao Futu by relying on a mysterious special power. The shadow of Zhao Futu appeared in front of him. Zhao Futu was outside the East China Sea, staring at it all the time. In addition to preventing the situation in the East China Sea from further deteriorating, it was also to ensure the safety of Xu Gu and the other six people. Zhao Futu received Xu Gu's talisman communication and looked at the shadow of Xu Gu in front of him. He was shocked and said quickly: "Nephew, what's wrong? What happened? What do you need me to do?" He was not worried because if Xu Gu and others were really in danger, they would not wait for him to ask what was going on. Xu Gu would just come up and shout for help. Xu Gu told Zhao Futu about this matter in general. Zhao Futu frowned at first, then smiled widely, patted his thigh happily and said, "My dear nephew! You are really a genius! “This idea is simply amazing! "In this way, the East China Sea problem that has troubled us for a long time may be solved quickly! And it is a radical solution!" Xu Gu was humble for a while before stating his needs. "What? You want 10 billion spirit stones? How can such a small amount be enough? Why not ask for 100 billion?" Zhao Futu said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance and concerns the safety of the East China Sea.

“No need to save!” Xu Gu was not surprised by this. Hundreds of billions of spirit stones are just a drop in the bucket for the righteous path and the imperial court, which are at the peak of their power. Moreover, these hundreds of billions of spirit stones are not consumed directly, but are only used to extract spiritual power atoms 3. After the extraction, most of the spirit stones can still be used. The main reason is that withdrawing too many spirit stones may squeeze the economic liquidity of Dashang, causing the appreciation of spirit stones and deflation, which will affect economic prosperity. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem to just transfer trillions of spirit stones. Zhao Futu wrote several flying sword messages to inform the righteous path and the imperial court respectively, and then said: "Besides that, is there anything else we can help you with?" "It's true." Xu Gu raised the corner of his mouth. …… Time flies, and six months have passed in the blink of an eye. During these six months, Xu Gu has been traveling around Donghai, inspecting various hot pot restaurants, while also looking for statues of gods and collecting information on the source of corruption. "Are you sure you still want to follow me? I need to go to the bathroom." Xu Gu said. "Jin Dan still needs to go to the bathroom?" Ye Qiuya, the young true disciple of the Broken Star Sect, asked in surprise: "Do you think I'm easy to deceive because I'm young?" "Hahaha." Xu Gu laughed, "I just saw that you are a beauty and wanted to tease you." The man's face instantly turned red, he lowered his head, and stammered: "I didn't want to find a Taoist partner. But when I grow up, if the groom I want to marry is Xu Zhijian, it's not... impossible." Xu Gu just smiled and didn't say much. And deep in his eyes, there was a hint of gloom. The founder of the Shattered Star Sect had completely set his sights on him. During this period of time, whenever he wanted to leave the Shattered Star Sect, someone would follow him and would never leave his side. As if he was afraid that his "food" would run away. "But he will be in trouble soon." Thinking of this, Xu Gu couldn't help but smile. On an island, several monks were gossiping and sighing frequently. Lu Renjia: "The world is getting weirder and weirder nowadays!" Lu Renyi: "It seems that there is a magic skill spreading secretly. Many cultivators have gone astray in their practice of the magic skill and turned into monsters!" Lu Renbing: "What a monster! This is a great demon that died and its embryonic form is causing chaos! You idiot! "The entire East China Sea is sealed! Anyone within the East China Sea who is affected by the power of this fruit may turn into a monster." Lu Rending: "Really? It can't be that exaggerated, right? I was wondering why many big forces have started to close the mountains!" Lu Renyi: "What should we do?"

Lu Renbing: "What should I do? Let's eat it cold! But I heard that there's a new hot pot restaurant nearby. Not only is the food delicious, but it also seems to be able to prevent people from turning into monsters!" Lu Renjia: "Is it true? Can it prevent you from turning into a monster?" Lu Rending said: "I have heard about this. Wang Laosan from the island next door almost went crazy and turned into a monster. But after eating the hot pot, he regained some of his sanity. "But the effect didn't seem to be very good. He was only awake for a few days, and then he turned into a monster again." Lu Renbing said: "That's because he didn't eat enough hot pot." Passerby B said: "Really? It should be true! Then what are you waiting for? Go eat it quickly!" Lu Renbing said, "What to eat? There's no room left! We have to queue up to make a reservation! I've made the reservation half a month ago and there's only one day left before I can eat!" "Ah? Business is so good?" Several people were immediately surprised. Lu Renbing: "Nonsense! This is a hot pot that can suppress the incarnation of monsters! And it is jointly opened by Xu Shaoxian and the Broken Star Sect, how can the business be bad?" Several people were increasingly surprised: "What? Xu Shaoxian? Who is he?" "You don't even know Xu Shaoxian? After you guys came out of seclusion, don't you know how to understand the situation? You are a bunch of bumpkins who can't keep up with the times." Lu Renbing said contemptuously. Not far away, Ye Qiuya's face flushed, she listened to these words with a little excitement, and said: “This hot pot business is more prosperous than expected. "This will definitely save a lot of people." Xu GuZe raised his eyebrows slightly. Because, according to what these people said, can eating this hot pot really inhibit corruption and infection? "Let's go eat something." Xu Gu said. Having said that, Xu Gu turned and left. "Ah? Isn't there a hot pot restaurant we opened on this island?" Ye Qiuya asked in confusion. Xu Gu: “…” I can't say that all the hot pots in these hot pot restaurants have added something to them? That’s right, Spirit Atom 3 has been added to them all. This will accelerate the gathering and replace other spiritual atoms within the source of corruption. It is much more efficient than dropping it directly into the sea. Of course, considering that some creatures do not eat hot pot, or people in some places do not like hot pot, there are other ways of delivery. After returning to the Broken Star Sect, Xu Gu took out the shielding talisman, isolated himself from the outside world, and tried to cook hot pot, which was a rare attempt. "hiss." After he took a bite, his eyes widened immediately. It really worked. It does have a bit of an inhibitory effect. After eating, he felt refreshed. His mind, which had been gradually becoming cloudy after swallowing a large amount of the source of corruption, actually became a little clearer.

“It really works! "I was just saying it casually at the time." Xu Gu had a complicated expression and didn't know what to say. However, he soon realized what this pot was. It was the life-saving magic weapon of the founder of the Daliang Demon Cave! And what is the origin of the ancestor of the Daliang Demon Cave? An existence that obtains the perfect inheritance of the Heavenly Demon! The Demonic Heritage restrains the Cthulhu Demon, and there doesn't seem to be anything unacceptable. "I just discovered it now." Xu Gu couldn't help but sigh, but it was normal. Because people who sell hot pot definitely don't like hot pot, just like people who sell pig's trotter rice definitely don't like pig's trotter rice. "However, the effect is not very obvious and cannot change the overall situation." After careful evaluation, Xu Gu concluded: "It can only delay the time of falling into depravity and madness." Just then, A letter from Zhao Futu. Xu Gu's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth raised, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face. "It can be started now." said Zhao Futu. "Then start it." Xu Gu said. next moment, The entire East China Sea, which should have been dark in the evening, suddenly became bright, and countless points of light covered the entire East China Sea.
