Chapter 272: Practice Leads to True Knowledge
"Lord Jiexuan!"
Orochimaru was a bit excited. Ever since he parted ways with Li Jiexuan last time, a full two years had passed. Even though he had never believed Li Jiexuan was dead, he still couldn't help himself…
Li Jiexuan was the god in his heart!
"Orochimaru, this time I've brought you something interesting again." Li Jiexuan smiled as he took out a glass bottle from his storage space. Inside, a strange piece of flesh about half the size of a finger slowly wriggled, radiating powerful vitality…
"This is?"
Nearly six years old now, Orochimaru's face was delicate and refined. He examined the specimen bottle with some confusion. "What kind of flesh is this, to possess such powerful vitality?"
"These are Hashirama's cells."
"How is that possible!?" A researcher beside Orochimaru cried out in shock. "Hashirama Senju already turned into a giant tree at the border of Konoha."
Trees… don't have flesh!
"Fool!"
Orochimaru grabbed the researcher by the throat. "Lord Jiexuan is a god. Something like this is nothing to him. Anyone who dares to question a god deserves to die!"
In Orochimaru's heart, no matter what kind of feat Li Jiexuan accomplished, it wasn't surprising…
Eternal loyalty was just that overbearing!
"Orochimaru, let him go." Li Jiexuan chuckled lightly and stuffed the specimen bottle into Orochimaru's arms. "I need more Hashirama cells. I'll leave this matter to you…"
Hearing this, Orochimaru released the researcher, solemnly accepted the Hashirama cells, and said firmly, "I will not fail your expectations, Master!"
Orochimaru's research task +1…
After properly storing the Hashirama cells, Orochimaru excitedly reported his achievements: "Lord Jiexuan, following your instructions, over these past two years, I've firmly taken control of one-tenth of the Land of Water."
"However, the White Snake Sage can no longer sustain more cursed humans," Orochimaru said with some regret. "Otherwise, I would certainly be able to conquer the entire Land of Water."
"That's enough."
Li Jiexuan smiled and shook his head. Seizing the Naruto world by implanting curse marks into ordinary people had already failed once before he didn't want to repeat the same mistake…
"Orochimaru, for now, your focus should remain on research." Li Jiexuan wasn't a fool. In the anime, how many scientific miracles had Orochimaru created in such a short time?
Artificial humans, cloning technology, cellular proliferation, reincarnation techniques one unbelievable scientific breakthrough after another, endlessly emerging. Orochimaru had never truly been a combatant. More accurately, he was a genius scientist who mastered core technologies across biology, machinery, and many other fields!
Sending him into battle would be practically a crime against heaven…
"Lord Jiexuan, will you stay this time and not leave?" Orochimaru looked at Li Jiexuan with hope.
"No."
Li Jiexuan smiled and shook his head. "I came here this time to go to the Land of Craftsmen."
"The Land of Craftsmen?"
Orochimaru suddenly understood. The Land of Craftsmen was located to the southwest of the Land of Water. Compared to the distant Land of Wind, traveling here by snake carriage undoubtedly saved a great deal of time.
So…
Was it just a stop to see me along the way?
Orochimaru felt a bit dejected, but quickly cheered himself up again. Lord Jiexuan was going to the Land of Craftsmen to forge ninja tools. If he could make them for Lord Jiexuan himself…
"Hmm, alright, you can give it a try." Li Jiexuan naturally wouldn't directly refuse Orochimaru. If Orochimaru could handle it, there would be no need for him to waste time going to the Land of Craftsmen.
Two days later…
"This is the alloy coil I made for you, using a newly developed alloy technique." With dark circles under his eyes, Orochimaru presented a silver bracelet-like electromagnetic coil.
"Alloy technology…"
Li Jiexuan couldn't help but bare his teeth and suck in a cold breath. As expected of Orochimaru he had developed alloy technology in just a few days.
As for this coil…
