Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2812 Chapter 124: Profiting from War_2

Not only Tongxian City, but the Refinery Shop in Solitary Mountain City also employs these standardized marking techniques.

As a skilled Formation Master, Mo Hua has been deeply involved in Tao Cultivation production. Although he never inquires about these details, he is clear about the internal workings after being exposed constantly.

"Batch, and marks similar to 'trademarks'..."

Mass production on the Nine State side definitely cannot lack these two things.

Fasting Pills belong to the pills category.

The pills themselves do not leave marks and batches.

But the bottle of the pills certainly does.

To conceal these batches and product marks, these large quantities of Fasting Pills are packed in "blank" bottles?

However, "blank" bottles are, in essence, a kind of mark too.

General blank bottles aren't purely blank; they carry some lettering or cloud patterns.

This pure white, completely unmarked bottle, especially in such quantity, must be specially refined to deceive the eyes.

This matter is related to the Great Wilderness, so the refining of bottles should not be outsourced, otherwise confidentiality would be compromised.

Mo Hua frowned in deep thought.

If I were to handle this matter...

I am the steward of a powerful force, needing to urgently refine some blank bottles to pack Fasting Pills.

Then most likely...

Won't establish new artifact refining production lines, as costs would increase. It's just a bottle for packing Fasting Pills, not worth the expense.

So it would be... temporarily modifying a production line to make these blank bottles from existing artifact refining lines.

Meaning these bottles were made by temporarily altering the artifact refining production line in some force, some industry.

Mo Hua was suddenly startled in his heart.

He immediately jumped down from the bed, called Elder Bachuan, and instructed:

"Quick, gather some manpower, and check all the bottles containing Fasting Pills to see if there are any 'defective products'."

Elder Bachuan looked puzzled, not knowing what the Shaman Lord intended to do.

But the Shaman Lord has vast divine skills, so his actions are naturally beyond doubt.

"Yes."

Elder Bachuan replied, then went to gather some manpower, following Mo Hua's instructions, laying out all the Fasting Pills collected during the day in the front hall.

Then he led the barbarian soldiers and inspected the bottles one by one.

Although Divine Sense could be used for inspection, the imaging of Divine Sense is different, prone to omissions.

So Mo Hua had everyone use their eyes and Divine Sense together to find flaws.

Thus, after searching most of the night, they finally found several "defective" bottles.

The bottles themselves weren't "defective," but just had some "flaws" in details, leaving some glaze strokes.

This is because the Tao Cultivation industry inherently has a "defect rate."

No matter how perfect the artifact refining industry is, it cannot avoid producing defective products.

Moreover, from the principles of formations, it's easily explained.

The artifact refining industry structurally follows the "artifact refining" process, but once industrialized, its underlying logic is controlled by "formations."

Formations control the process, variables, materials, temperature, etc.

However, the operation of formations won't always be smooth; there will inevitably be some accidents and disturbances, producing some artifacts that don't meet the "standards."

These bottles for Fasting Pills are the same.

Besides the production process, these bottles also have another set of formation similar to original magnet imaging for "engraving."

This "engraving" formation will automatically use glaze and other materials to engrave some text or marks on the bottles to indicate origin and batch.

Whether to engrave patterns, words, or nothing is determined by this "engraving" formation.

Now this "engraving" formation has been temporarily modified with formation patterns, set to "blank."

Therefore, this artifact refining production line produces large quantities of bottles without any marks.

But as Mo Hua knows, any artifact refining industry has the concept of "defective products."

A set of "engraving" formation might operate once without a problem.

Might not go wrong operating ten times, a hundred times.

But once it operates thousands upon thousands of times, errors are bound to occur.

These errors lead to the originally set "blank" engraving formation malfunctioning, uncontrollably "engraving" some patterns.

When it malfunctions and engraves these patterns, they aren't spontaneously created, but definitely patterns it has "engraved" before.

Just like a person continuously drawing a tree.

Now suddenly prohibited from drawing, only allowed to trace on blank paper.

Short-term, he can do it.

But over time, occasionally his brain will "short-circuit," habitually drawing the tree again.

This suddenly short-circuited, tree-drawn blank paper is the "defective product."

This deep integration of formations with artifact refining, the scholastic knowledge in practice, might be incomprehensible to ordinary people, but Mo Hua is quite familiar.

In Mo Hua's hand, he has several bottles he carefully selected.

These bottles are blank, but in the details, there are some very faint traces.

Residual strokes and some birds and flowers.

To the casual eye, a normal person wouldn't care, even if noticed, they wouldn't know what these things are.

In mass production, no one would have the leisure to check such things.

But to an "insider" like Mo Hua, the meaning is completely different.

Mo Hua dismissed everyone, returned to his room, and began to deduce formations in reverse based on these patterns, reconstructing the formation that engraved these patterns.
