To be honest, Lin Mei and Lichi witnessed everything, listened to everything, but they still wanted to say: “We don’t understand!”
Just a moment ago, they were thinking about how to take the life of the Crystal Thief, but not long after, the two of them were chatting like old friends about some incomprehensible topics.
Has the grudge with Shuhuan been settled or not? Even if we can’t win, we shouldn’t just ignore it! If the deceased Shuhuan knew about it in the afterlife, wouldn’t he be infuriated to death?
“Could it be that this is the temporary measure of the Immortal Master?”
But it doesn’t seem like it!
The most unbelievable thing is that the Crystal Thief actually returned the living corpse, and moreover, the Immortal Master even agreed to let the Crystal Thief participate fully in his breakthrough plan…
In summary: we don’t understand!
However, what seems unbelievable to Lin Mei and Lichi is considered natural by Su Hao and the Immortal Master.
People who are goal-oriented in their actions can do things that are even anti-human, making it difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Because these people are seldom influenced by emotions such as vanity, greed, jealousy, or arrogance.
After communication, the Immortal Master initially understood what kind of person “Jia Wei” was. Without certain reasons, Jia Wei wouldn’t kill him, at least not before he successfully broke through the “Cycle Realm”.
This is also why the Immortal Master readily agreed for Su Hao to participate in his breakthrough plan.
In return, Su Hao doesn’t care too much about trivial details, as long as he confirms that the Immortal Master cannot kill him, and at the same time, the Immortal Master’s attempts are beneficial to him, that’s enough.
Su Hao asked, “When do you plan to start?”
The Immortal Master replied, “No rush, I have some new ideas that need to be adjusted.”
Su Hao smiled, “Need any help?”
The Immortal Master said, “I couldn’t ask for more!”
Lin Mei and Lichi: “…”
…
A year later, the Immortal Master, with a brand-new plan designed together with Su Hao, confidently began the breakthrough experiment. This breakthrough was expected to last for up to five years, which is a conservative estimate, and it could take longer.
And Su Hao is still in the state of “[Child of Fate]”, never revealing his true appearance, not daring to be careless.
Su Hao said, “I wish the Immortal Master friend success in breaking through. I have other things to attend to. I’ll leave a spirit beast by your side. If you have any problems, you can ask it, and I’ll be able to see.”
With that said, Su Hao casually summoned a big cat with round eyes, surveying the surroundings.
The Immortal Master said, “Thanks for your help, friend. This breakthrough method, compared to my previous one, is simply night and day. This time, I’m ninety percent confident of success in breaking through the Cycle Realm.”
Su Hao smiled and said, “As long as you’re confident.”
With that, Su Hao teleported back to Starry Bay.
One year may seem short, but this year of communication with the Immortal Master has been very rewarding for Su Hao.
The software “Spiritual Energy Nature Transformation Factory” designed by Yashan has also been upgraded, gaining more functions. Su Hao has also mastered the Immortal Master’s adept technique, the “Purple Extreme Soul Lock,” and he uses it even more skillfully than the Immortal Master.
However, after Su Hao improved this technique, it became a “sleep aid”! Instead of turning people into living corpses, it has been modified to induce unconsciousness.
As for chain-type techniques, the focus is on binding. If you want to kill someone, wouldn’t it be faster to just chop them with a sword?
In one year, Su Hao has gained a lot of knowledge from the Immortal Master. It’s hard to squeeze out any new ideas in the short term. To have other gains, he can only wait for the Immortal Master to complete a cycle of breakthroughs and see how it turns out. This will take at least five years.
These five years are also a good time for consolidation, turning the knowledge gained from years of reading into practical applications.
From theoretical foundations to practical applications, it’s never something that can be accomplished in a short time.
…
After returning to Starry Bay, Su Hao found Yashan and asked, “Yashan, how is the progress of your ‘Preparation of High-Efficiency Spiritual Power Enhancement Drugs’? Have you encountered any problems?”
Yashan replied, “Don’t worry, Boss Wei. I can solve some small problems by myself by looking up information. Currently, the biggest problems are threefold: a lack of experimental equipment, insufficient manpower for basic repetitive work, and a long experimental cycle.”
“For the past few years, I’ve been designing experimental equipment. As for manpower, Feng Cheng and the others are now able to perform some simple operations and data collection tasks. In a few more years, they’ll be able to grow up and independently complete small branch tasks. As for the issue of experimental cycle, I’m also thinking of ways to speed it up…”
Yashan rattled off the situation over the years in one go, summed up as: the problems are not big, success is certain, manpower is needed, time is needed.
After listening, Su Hao said, “We don’t lack time for now, no need to rush. As for manpower… I’ll figure out a way to get some for you in five years. By the way, you can consider establishing an academy to cultivate technological cultivators. They can learn both cultivation and technology, and Feng Cheng and the others can serve as instructors.”
Yashan’s eyes lit up, immediately praising, “Boss Wei, your idea is feasible!”
Yashan thought for a moment and then said, “I need to discuss this with Senior Feng Hua and Senior Yan. Since they have nothing else to do, let them be cultivation instructors as well. As for the location of the school, there is an island not far from Starry Bay, which is just right.”
“In this way, in at most twenty years, we can cultivate a large number of research-oriented talents! We don’t need them to create innovations, just completing the assigned tasks is enough!”
Su Hao nodded and said, “If you think it’s feasible, then give it a try.”
As for the issue of students’ loyalty, neither Su Hao nor Yashan has ever considered it, because whether the students are loyal or not doesn’t have much impact on their plans.
What they want is knowledge. If a student’s defection can create something more valuable, Su Hao might even encourage them to defect…
Whatever it is, as long as the things created eventually flow into Su Hao’s pocket!
How to achieve this?
Of course, it’s through the “Internet”!
Su Hao said, “Yashan, what do you think about establishing a global Internet in this world?”
Yashan’s eyes gradually lit up, full of excitement, and he blurted out, “Holy crap, Boss Wei! Why didn’t I think of that!”
Upon learning of the larger goal, Yashan felt that establishing a “Cultivation and Technology Academy” was an incredibly simple matter…
Isn’t it just a matter of twenty or fifty years? If necessary, we can even extend it to a hundred or two hundred years, and success is guaranteed.
After exchanging ideas with Su Hao, Yashan eagerly ran back to write a proposal.
With a flash, Su Hao returned to his laboratory, surveyed the surroundings, and then gave a candid assessment of the lab: “Primitive and rudimentary!”
Starting from scratch and reaching into space would be an incredibly long journey of technological ascent!
Su Hao sat down, entered the pinball space, opened the task log, and checked off the completed tasks.
“The first to fourth tasks have been completed and can be deleted. The fifth task, modularization, is only about ten percent complete, it can’t be rushed, estimated to be completed within twenty years. The sixth task can be deleted. The issue of lifespan in the seventh task will be revealed naturally after the Immortal Master completes his breakthrough.
Now, let’s redesign the plan:
First, research the relationship between spiritual power and consciousness, find a way to use spiritual power as a springboard for consciousness to break free from bodily constraints.
This is the main line!
Second, research methods for spiritual power to continuously leap to higher levels, gaining higher energy levels.
Currently, spiritual power seems incredibly powerful, but all the spiritual power combined is not even enough to make a dent in a planet. It’s nowhere near the level of destroying a planet with a single energy blast as seen in Dragon Ball. I need to reach that level to make any progress.
Third, ascend spiritual power technology, attempt to manufacture spiritual power spacecraft capable of flying into space, and explore the surrounding star regions.
This is a subplot. What I need to do is summarize the “basic principles” of spiritual power and create some small gadgets as catalysts. After a hundred or two hundred years of intentional guidance and acceleration, it will inevitably unleash tremendous creativity! Fourth,…”
After finishing writing, Su Hao closed the task panel, exited the pinball space, and murmured as he opened his eyes, “First, pondering the relationship between spiritual power and consciousness, this is the top priority, the most important!”
After a moment, Su Hao added, “Also the most difficult…”
“How should I proceed?”
