Introduction to the Great Development Technique
The Great Development Technique was created by Monarch Soul Divergence and originated from Wang Yu's work, Mortal Cultivation Biography. It could be said to be the most abnormal cultivation technique in the human world. It was a simplified version of the immortal world's forbidden technique, the Soul-Refining Technique. Cultivating this cultivation technique could multiply one's spiritual sense, and when cultivated to perfection, one's spiritual sense would be doubled. This effect was extremely terrifying, and it was also one of Han Li's trump cards that allowed him to be invincible among those of the same cultivation level. Han Li had chanced upon the Great Development Technique during the Thousand Bamboo School's internal strife, and the Great Development Technique had been passed down to him. After Han Li entered the Spirit Realm, he had been cultivating. When he ascended to the Immortal World, he had even imparted the Great Development Technique to Li Yuanjiu, creating Dao Ancestor Nine Essence.

Divination teaching
The following are some common teaching contents of divination: ** 1. Constellation Divination ** 1. ** Principle ** - Based on the date of birth, different constellations correspond to different date ranges. For example, Aries is from March 21st to April 19th. Each constellation was believed to have a specific personality and fortune. 2. ** Operation ** - One only needed to determine a person's date of birth and then interpret their personality according to their constellation. For example, Aries was usually considered to have passionate and impulsive personality characteristics. In terms of luck, it might give a general direction in terms of love, career, wealth, etc. by month or year. ** 2. Physiognomy ** 1. ** Principle ** - Through careful observation of various facial features, such as the shape of the eyebrows (such as thick eyebrows may indicate a strong personality), the size of the eyes and eyes (large eyes may be seen as spiritual), the height of the nose (a tall nose has a specific meaning in some interpretation), the outline of the mouth (such as the corner of the mouth may indicate optimism), etc., to infer fate and personality. 2. ** Operation ** - First, he observed the outline of the face as a whole, then analyzed the five senses one by one, combining them with traditional physiognomy knowledge to interpret. For example, a round face may be considered a blessing. ** 3. Numerology (based on time and place of birth)** 1. ** Principle ** - Using the theory of Yin and Yang and the five elements, the information of a person's birth time (year, month, day, hour) and place of birth was transformed into a specific concept of numerology. For example, a person's eight characters (the heavenly stems and earthly branches at the time of birth) contained different elements of the five elements. The mutual promotion and restriction of these elements were used to explain the ups and downs of life and predict future trends. 2. ** Operation ** - First, determine the eight characters of the heavenly stems and earthly branches at birth, and then analyze the prosperity and decline of the five elements in the eight characters. For example, the exuberance of metal qi may have a specific impact on personality and luck. Then, according to the relationship between the eight characters and the Great Luck (the luck stage with a ten-year cycle) and the Year (the situation of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in each year), the luck was predicted. ** 4. Palmistry ** 1. ** Principle ** - It was mainly to analyze the patterns and lines on his palm. The length, depth, and direction of the different lines on the palm, such as the lifeline, wisdom line, and emotional line, were believed to be related to a person's personality and future luck. 2. ** Operation ** - Carefully observe the palm, starting from the side of the thumb to see the length of the lifeline (generally considered to be related to health and vitality), whether there are any breaks, and so on. Then, he looked at the trend of the wisdom lines (related to intelligence and thinking), and finally, he analyzed the situation of each line. ** Five, Six Lines Divination Method ** 1. ** Principle ** - It originated from the Najia system of the Western Han Dynasty's Jingfang. It was a law that the ancients had summarized after observing the laws of nature. The Eight Trigrams could only represent eight natural phenomena, but when combined into the complex hexagram (8864 types), it could represent more things. The complex hexagram in the six lines had a total of six lines, so it was called "six lines". 2. ** Operation ** - At first, he used 50 yarrow grass to make a hexagram. In the Song Dynasty, he used money instead of yarrow grass. The person who made the prediction placed the three copper coins in his hands and clasped them tightly. He thought about what he was going to predict and let the information fuse into the copper coins. He put his palms together and shook them before putting them into the divination plate. He threw them six times to form a divination. With the hexagrams and lines, he could determine the development process and result of things by measuring the dry and branch branches on the day of the hexagram, along with the six relatives and six beasts. He relied on the five elements of the spirit to produce prosperity and combined with the lines of the Book of Changes. For example, in the divination of finding a lost item, one had to choose the god (such as finding a necklace with the wife's wealth line as the god), analyze the position of the god in the hexagram, the situation of the moving line, and so on, so as to determine whether the lost item could be found and when it could be found.

Will the reaction between glycerine and nitric acid explode?
Glycerol and sulfuric acid would react to form nitrogen. This reaction process needed to be very careful because nitrogen was an extremely unstable substance. It was prone to shock or heat and other stimulations that could cause an explosion. However, the reaction process itself might not explode directly if it was under strict control (such as in a professional operating environment in a laboratory).
