I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Although in the memory of the female cultivator in the mirror, low-level monks and ordinary people are just consumables, ants used to cut leeks.

But for the ancient monks and the earliest top monks of the Immortal Alliance, there is no difference among the hundreds of millions of creatures in the world, and they are all within the scope of their coordination.

The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. There is nothing better than this.

In that case, these low-level monks must have their role.

At this moment, Elder Wang said slowly:

"And for those of us sect families who do not have Nascent Soul monks in charge, if we want to go one step further on the basis of maintaining our realm and obtain additional sources of spiritual energy, the most important thing is to cultivate the immortal arts."

"Cultivation of immortality and hundreds of arts?"

Lin Chen's eyes moved, his expression showed a thoughtful look, and he continued to listen to Elder Wang's story.

"That's right." Elder Wang nodded and said, "Cultivation of immortals and hundreds of arts is essentially the processing of elixirs, ores, talismans, rare objects, etc. taken from the world."

"These methods are cumbersome and troublesome. For high-level monks, it is impossible for them to focus too much energy on them, and they still need them. This is the source of our extra spiritual energy."

"For example, when the Nascent Soul cultivator participates in the Great Breath of Heaven and Earth, he needs the assistance of the fourth-level formation. But the layout of the fourth-level formation requires surveying the geomantic omen, laying down the formation foundation, pulling the spiritual veins, and delineating the restrictions... It's very cumbersome.”

"So it requires the assistance of low-level monks to help it complete a large number of steps, leaving only the core part to be completed."

"And the low-level monks who assist, that is, the disciples of Yuanying Zhenjun, will receive spiritual gifts, and then they will come to the market in the East China Sea, and after the transactions are circulated, they will flow into the hands of small sect families like us. , and then flow down in sequence.”

"this……"

Resources flow from top to bottom and then throughout the bottom?

After hearing these words, Lin Chen only felt that this behavior had an indescribable sense of familiarity.

And if calculated in this way, wouldn't it mean that cultivating immortals and practicing various arts...

After pondering for a while, he said:

"But if you say so, if Yuanying Sect cultivates corresponding alchemists, weapon refiners, or talisman makers, wouldn't we have no additional source of spiritual energy?"

"This is also the current dilemma of the sect." Elder Wang smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "The longer the Nascent Soul power is inherited, the less demand it has from the outside world, and we will not be able to obtain spiritual energy resources from it."

But then, his tone changed:

"But don't worry, Sect Master, no matter how little they need, they still have to buy spiritual energy from us!"

"Buy spiritual energy?" Lin Chen frowned slightly.

"Sect Master, have you forgotten? The Qi refining method practiced by our Immortal Alliance monks, different techniques, have different types of spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

Elder Wang smiled and said,

"Every spiritual root cultivator practices different techniques, so the corresponding types of spiritual energy that need to be collected are also different."

"For example, the fundamental skill of our Evergreen Sect [Evergreen Heart Sutra] requires the evergreen energy of the mysterious wood. And this requires collecting a primitive wood-attributed spiritual energy, and then cultivating it in a hundred-year-old spiritual wood, and applying it every seven days With the spiritual water, it takes three years to form a path, and then you can start practicing."

"After entering Qi refining, you have to collect thousands of spiritual qi of the same type, and combine them with hundreds of spiritual qi to guard the land, in order to achieve the Tao base [Evergreen Wood], which has the mystery of longevity and endless fighting."

"But whether it is the energy of the evergreen trees or the energy of the earth spirit, the steps to cultivate it are cumbersome and take a long time. Excluding the time required for cultivation, how much energy can a monk put into it?"

"So this task of cultivating spiritual energy is assigned to all major sects and families. Since there are more than tens of millions of types of spiritual energy in the world, it is completely impossible for the Nascent Soul forces to be self-sufficient, so we are necessary? "Lin Chen took up what Elder Wang said.

Then he said with some doubts:

"The spiritual energy that can be cultivated, whether it is taken out from your spiritual veins or given by above, is ultimately just a spiritual energy."

"In the adjustment of the identity panel currency, it is still the original amount of spiritual energy. What is the benefit of doing this? Unless..."

As Lin Chen was talking, he suddenly paused and then said slowly:

“There’s added value to it.”

"That's right." Elder Wang chuckled, "In the identity panel, what is scanned for spiritual objects is only their quantity, not their quality. The rarer the type of spiritual energy in the world, the greater the added value."

"We cultivate different types of spiritual energy, put them on the Fairy Alliance market, and then use the added value added by their cultivation difficulty to earn the difference in spiritual energy."

"In fact, it is not only the cultivation of spiritual energy, but also the cultivation of immortality. Through the secondary refining of elixirs, ores, talismans, and demon blood, the difference is earned based on the cost. The identity panel can only count spiritual energy. The total amount and destination will not affect the transaction.”

"If this is the case, how should trading currency be defined?" Lin Chen asked with a look in his eyes.

"The amount of currency varies from place to place, such as pearls, spirit shells, talisman coins, etc., but the ones we use most are spirit stones." Elder Wang said with a smile.

"Or... spirit stone?"

"Of course, spirit stones have the best ability to store spiritual energy in the entire world of immortality." Elder Wang said matter-of-factly, "With a little refinement, a single spiritual stone can store thousands of spiritual energy at worst."

"Each monk only needs to bring two or three spiritual stones, and then confirm the amount of spiritual energy transmitted through the identity panel during the transaction, and the transaction can be easily completed."

Isn't this equivalent to mobile payment?

Abandon carrying millions of spiritual stones and carry out the most basic spiritual energy exchange through the identity panel and storage container.

And Lin Chen suddenly recalled how he was exposed on Lingyuan Island.

Others were using spiritual stones for mobile payment, but they took out spiritual stones one by one to pay.

How is this different from paying with a bag of coins at a fancy restaurant?

It’s weird that it doesn’t attract anyone’s attention!

but……

He lowered his eyelids and thought carefully about the other party's words. Gradually, a strange color appeared in his expression.

Because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the current situation of the Immortal Alliance seemed to be very similar to the society in the previous life.

If the industries are divided according to the social production structure, this world of cultivating immortals is actually similar to the previous world.

Centered on the Heaven-Overturning Universe Formation, the Nascent Soul Transformation Monk who integrates the Heaven and Earth Nascent Soul level and above and builds the Great Breath of Heaven and Earth is the first industry in the Immortal Alliance.

Responsible for assisting the world in refining more chaotic energy, thereby obtaining the most basic production resource in the world of immortality - spiritual energy.

The Nine Immortal Sects are responsible for the secondary industry of the world of immortality. They are responsible for evolving spiritual energy, and then assisting the evolution of heaven and earth, turning it into elixirs, ores, Yuan Shen materials, heaven and earth treasures, etc. This is a reflection of heaven and earth. Further processing of Reiki.

Most of the Nascent Soul forces and low-level monks transform these spiritual objects into elixirs, formation disks, talismans, magic weapons and other objects, so that they can be used to serve the upper-level monks, and they can be continuously accumulated in circulation. Cultivate a new Nascent Soul.

‘The first industry in this world is analogous to agriculture, but it uses the world as farmland and obtains production resource aura from the chaotic sea of ​​stars. ’

‘The second industry is similar to industry, but the objects produced are not machines, but spiritual beings and monks. The former is the foundation of the existence of the world of immortality, while the latter is the safety guarantee. ’

‘As for cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts, they transform the spiritual objects of heaven and earth into objects that are more suitable for monks to use, and then circulate them, so it is equivalent to... service industry? ’

This allocation seems surprisingly reasonable and...scientific.

‘If you look at it this way, the world of cultivation in many novels in the previous life has become a gangster that kills people and seizes treasures. And as time goes by, the world becomes weaker and weaker. From the ancient times when great powers appeared frequently and the worlds of humans and immortals merged into one, in the future, even the monks who transformed themselves into gods were a luxury...'

‘Now it seems that without the support of the primary and secondary industries of the Immortal Alliance in this world, there is only a pure competition for cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts, and the competition in the service industry, as everyone knows, will naturally lead to a life-and-death struggle. ’

‘In this way, not only will the world not gain any extra benefits, but the burden will become more and more heavy. No wonder everyone will eventually enter the Age of Ending Law. ’

'But with these two industries in this world, it's no wonder that in ancient times, thousands of races fought bloody battles, and there were catastrophes caused by demonic disasters. After these catastrophes caused by high-level monks, not only did the world have no restrictions, there were not even thunder catastrophes. The benefits...'

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more interesting he found it.

The world of cultivation, which seems to respect power, seems to follow the laws of social industrial structure as a whole, but the people in power have real power, and they can completely overturn it with a thought.

But the gain outweighs the loss.

"It's surprisingly reasonable."

After Lin Chen thought about this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although the world of cultivation in this world looks very primitive, if it is distributed according to the industrial structure, it is probably far more advanced than some worlds of technological cultivation.

After all, the latter has only developed superficial trains and networks, and established a seemingly advanced academy system. But in essence, it is just another application method of heaven and earth spiritual things. It seems advanced, but it is just It is in line with imagination.

But even the most basic material spiritual energy of civilization has to rely on the production of heaven and earth. Once something goes wrong in the world, 99% of it will be destroyed.

But the Immortal Alliance is different. If the Heaven-Shifting Universe Formation is not lost, they can produce and sell it themselves, and even directly use the energy of the Chaos Star Sea.

Even in the end, if the problem of intra-civilization monopoly can be truly solved and the Heaven-Shaking Universe Formation is completely mastered, then the Immortal Alliance will no longer be trapped in one world, but can become a civilization that travels in the chaotic sea of ​​stars, with boundless creativity. The world, the great power that runs rampant in the heavens.

'It's no wonder that after the ancient bloody war, the ancient monks did not completely repair this world after they walked out of the Star Sea. Perhaps for them, this world is just a foothold and a memorial. The heavens and worlds in the Star Sea are... It's their stage. ’

‘They have truly become a civilization in a sea of ​​stars, rather than a human race in a world! ’

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh.

From top-to-bottom social design to arranging the future of the civilized world, the wisdom displayed by the ancient monks is really impressive.

But the more this happened, the more he wondered what could be the reason for them to disappear collectively, or even never return for millions of years.

It seems that after they came back from the fairy world, they changed completely from before.

Fairy world, fairy world...

At this time, Lin Chen suddenly recalled the Hall of Immortals and the information of the Transmigraters Association that he saw in the sea of ​​stars that day.

‘I am afraid that the immortal world in this universe is different from what I imagined…’

Just when Lin Chen was thinking about it, Elder Wang’s story had come to an end:

“…So, this is the connection and position between our Changqing Sect and the Immortal Alliance now.”

“Because we have the basic spiritual veins and the Golden Pill Patriarch, we have a position in the Immortal Alliance, so we can participate in the vast market of the East China Sea in the Central Plains and use the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation to obtain additional spiritual energy.”

“We will continue to obtain excess spiritual energy to supply the sect’s alchemists and gifted cultivators, ensure that the sect is passed down from generation to generation, and through continuous accumulation, we will eventually accumulate resources into a certain future prodigy, achieve the Nascent Soul, and achieve a ten-thousand-year sect!”

Lin Chen came back to his senses and asked:

“What is the sect’s industry now?”

“One is the output of the Changqing Pill series.” Elder Wang replied, "Our elixirs are effective in strengthening the body, healing wounds and restoring vitality, and occupy a certain share of the healing elixir market in the East China Sea."

"The other is the cultivation of more than 30 kinds of spiritual energy, such as the evergreen energy of the mysterious wood and the spiritual energy of the land."

"...That's all?" Lin Chen, who was still preparing to listen to the following, was surprised to see that the other party suddenly stopped talking, "What about talismans, spiritual tools, array plates, etc."

"Master, all kinds of immortal cultivation arts are the result of hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation by a force. Other inheritances are not so easy to obtain." Elder Wang smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Although there are corresponding inheritances in the sect, in terms of cost and final efficacy, in the market, they cannot compare with those sects and families that specialize in this way, so naturally the gains outweigh the losses."

Technology monopoly, product competition, and maximum profit?

After hearing this, these words popped up in Lin Chen's mind.

"Does the sect rely on slow accumulation?" Lin Chen asked, "Isn't it allowed to plunder?"

"The East China Sea must be absolutely stable, and no tragedies of extermination must occur, so as to prevent the battle of Wolong Customs from affecting the front line. This is the righteous law of the Immortal Alliance. Those who violate it must be punished!"

Seeing Lin Chen's flickering eyes, Elder Wang hurriedly reminded him.

Although he had not been in contact for a long time, he more or less understood the character of this Lin Zushi, but he could not do anything about this kind of thing.

"Elder Wang, what are you talking about?" Lin Chen said with some dissatisfaction, "Am I the kind of person who would kill a whole family?"

"Don't listen to those rumors spread by outsiders. I am a kind person, a righteous person. If I catch those treacherous villains who are slick and slander others, I will definitely kill their whole family!"

After hearing this, Elder Wang froze all over, and then nodded desperately.

Lin Chen ignored him and thought carefully.

If this is the case, the Three Corpse Demons' words can only be used as a covert means and cannot be put on the table.

And all walks of life, all kinds of cultivation arts, have been monopolized by other cultivators. If you want to cause trouble in the East China Sea, it seems that you have to find another way...

Virtual economy, financial bubble, pyramid scheme scam...

After pondering for a long time, Lin Chen finally asked a question:

"The sect industry you just mentioned seems to be too serious. Is there any unorthodox way?"

"Ah???"
