"Is the reward, golden branch?"

"That's right." Titus confirmed again, "So, are you willing to participate in the action?"

"Wait a minute, I'll consult a professional. Can you turn off the lights? Otherwise I can't communicate."

Titus snapped his fingers with a "bang", and the black light "lighted" again. Just like Apollonia treats the button as a trigger, he treats the specific action of "snap fingers" as a trigger for casting.

As the night disappeared, Shangluo picked up the Feixin card. His fingers were placed on Zhu Xiannen's title:

"Apollonia, do you think I have to consult him?"

[That's right for professionals in professional issues. In terms of alchemy, even if I am not as professional as him.]

Apollonia affirmed Zhu Xiannen's professionalism. She added:

[Knowledge, experience, technology, these are just results. ‘First creation’ is the cause of all this. The first murder, the first painting, the first to raise a torch, the first to screen a movie. The symbols created by humans are the real light, and the Akashic Records are just faithfully leaving the shadow of light. Of course, now, there are some extra shadows, the Akashic Records no longer correspond to the creation of humans. Is the unseen experience still considered experience? I don’t know. But the Akashic Records themselves have undergone some subtle changes, which have also caused a series of abnormal movements. What do you think?]

"What do I think? My answer is that it has nothing to do with me. It's not what I want to come by myself. If you want to blame me, blame the person who pulled me up. If there is any cause and effect, of course, it will all be counted on him. I just worry that someone will use this to find me."

[Don't worry, the Akashi Records are not the place to publish journals, they are an unnamed public domain. So I didn't see it when I first came into contact with you. You were invited back by the Taoist ancestor because the Jinyiwei took the initiative to ask. So you can use it with confidence.]

After composing the information, Shangluo began to request "off-site assistance" from Zhu Xianen with confidence.

He clicked on the avatar wearing sunglasses and typed a paragraph:

"Your Majesty, I have a question about alchemy. There are golden branches here, but it may be a bit dangerous. Should I take them?"

He knew that Zhu Xianen might be busy and had no time to greet him. So he posted the content he was asking first, and when he had time to open the Feixin card, he would see these messages.

However, he was about to exit the chat box and wait for a while. Soon, a call came over. The caller was Zhu Xianen.

"Hey?" Shangluo answered the phone.

"Jinzhi, right? Are you able to get Jinzhi?" His speech speed was several times faster than before. There were vague noises from the other end of the phone, as if outside the venue, you could even hear the sound of slapping the table.

"Yes, it's the kind that the golden branches in Rome have to be picked from the shore of Lake Nemi."

"No, is the golden branches ripe? I remember that it was not yet time to mature, so fast? Otherwise, I would have bought it for you long ago. The last time Zheng Yin built the foundation was bought. Is it reliable for the person who provides you with golden branches?"

"It's the Roman Neigu."

Zhu Xianen on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while.

"Is there really a golden branch that can ripen? Don't hang up the phone, I'm waiting here. After asking about your business, go back to the meeting - good guy, we have been searching for so many days but haven't found it, you actually found it yourself. Please confirm it first."

"learn."

He asked Titus opposite him: "Why is the golden branch earlier this time than last time? The information on our side shows that the date when the golden branch matures is not now."

"We don't know this question. It shouldn't have been today, otherwise Delphi's actions would not have been so hasty. In fact, it was because some legends suddenly appeared in the local area, saying that the "King of Shadows in the Forest" were wandering. Whenever night came, the King of Shadows would firmly walk in one direction on the road, seemingly to fulfill his mission. All of this is a sign before the beginning of the Golden Branch Ceremony."

"Will the omen be revealed in the form of legends?"

"Yes. Jack the Ripper was originally because of legends, nursery rhymes, or all sources of unknown origin. We also collected information from all aspects to finally confirm the existence of "Jack the Ripper". This time, the same is true. The priest King was originally popular in the legends around Nemi since the Roman royal era. But he shouldn't have come so quickly that our generation was not ready."

Shangluo conveyed this information to Zhu Xianen, who immediately replied:

"Precall it! Be sure to take it! This ceremony is very troublesome, but we will do everything we can to help you complete it. Golden Branch has the function of Ascension Dao, it is the best spiritual medicine and one of the best medicines for Foundation Building Pills. If you don't use Golden Branch, you have to consider the season, opportunity, fate and other reasons when taking it. Wen Yuan's father didn't wait for Golden Branch or other suitable medicines, but he died because he was not able to take the medicine."

"Is there any principle here?"

"Because the 'similar cause' can reach the 'similar fruit'. When the first celestial being opens the road, the people behind can follow the path he opens up by imitating it. The so-called morality itself is also the best year of imitation in human history. The foundation-building pill is an imitation of the miracle of "foundation", and the reason why the miracle is a miracle is that it can only be approached but cannot be reached. Therefore, the formula is not important, the important thing is whether it is 'similar'. Because only when it is similar enough can it cause the response of the Great Way and thus bring down the miracle again."

"Like, ask for rain?"

"Yes, you can understand it this way. Xiao Ming sneezes and it rains. Then next time if you want to make God rain, people will naturally start to recall: What happened when it rained last time? If you want it rained the same as last time, should you also make the situation as similar as last time? So as early as ancient times, people started to ask for rain in various ways, including making Xiao Ming sneeze. This is the source of the ceremony itself. People hope to get similar fruits through similar causes - such as Xiao Ming sneeze - that is, it rains."

"Ah, so the golden branch is the 'similar' cause?"

"Yes, not. When the first celestial being was born and created a miracle, there was no assistance from the golden branch. Now the only one who succeeded in building the foundation through the golden branch is Zheng Yin. The golden branch is completely different from the Taoist path of our celestial beings - but after all, how can it be completely similar between two different events? Times, opportunities, and destiny are just to imitate as much as possible, but no matter how imitate it, it is impossible to completely coincide with the cause and condition of the first foundation building. So how did the fruit of the miracle be born? The answer is, the power of wishes."
