Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

"Spiritual power network?"

Tian Jin chewed on the word carefully. He could understand the meaning of these four words, but Fang Qingyuan's words definitely did not mean these literal meanings.

After thinking for a few breaths, Tian Jin still couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Fang Qingyuan. Fang Qingyuan had the obligation to explain this new word to him, otherwise he could not give him the corresponding protection.

Fang Qingyuan smiled complacently in his heart. No one understood the spiritual power network, but if he used this term to explain the communication network, Tian Jin should be able to understand most of it. However, he couldn't say it so bluntly. Fang Qingyuan was worried that if he took too big a step, Tian Jin would not be able to withstand the backlash that would be caused.

"Senior Tian, ​​do you know?"

"Wait, since you have already formed your infant, and have become a vassal family of my Tian family, we will be a family from now on. There is no need for us to be so distant from each other. If you are willing, you can call me Senior Brother Jin."

"Brother Jin"

Fang Qingyuan always felt that this address was a bit awkward, but since Tian Jin showed goodwill, he naturally had to continue. It was not just for fellow disciples or people with the same power, but generally they could address each other as senior and junior brothers. If the relationship was a little closer, they could be called fellow Taoists, but this was rare.

"Brother Jin, please take a look at this communication talisman."

Fang Qingyuan took out a communication talisman that was used in daily life. This talisman was one of the most consumed talismans by cultivators in daily life. In the Qiyun area, it sold better than any healing talismans or protective talismans.

The communication talisman that Fang Qingyuan took out was of top quality. It could transmit messages hundreds of miles away, accurately locate the target, and one could also input the words one wanted to say into it.

Low-grade talismans can only transmit messages within a range of ten miles and can only carry short texts, while medium-grade talismans can transmit messages within a range of thirty miles and can only carry a few short sentences.

There are also special-grade communication talismans, but compared to top-grade communication talismans, the cost-effectiveness is really not high. The distance range is at most a few dozen miles higher, but the price is ten times higher.

This is because the special-grade communication talisman can not only carry words, but also carry images for half a quarter of an hour. Although it is easy to use, the price of it is more than ten times that of the superior communication talisman, which makes it prohibitive for most people.

Fang Qingyuan didn't mind spending this little bit of money, but he hated being ripped off. He felt it wasn't worth it to pay so much extra for a product that only improved part of the experience.

Seeing Fang Qingyuan take out this communication talisman, Tian Jinlai became interested. He wanted to see what new ideas Fang Qingyuan could come up with.

"The essence of this communication talisman lies in only two points. The first is that it can automatically find the corresponding cultivator's Qi. If this talisman is worth a mid-grade spirit stone, then the spirit stone spent on this function must account for 70% of it."

The principle of communication using the communication talisman is that the cultivator who activates the talisman carries the words or text he wants to convey on the talisman, and then activates the talisman to automatically search for people within a certain range through the cultivator's Qi reserved on it.

This function of automatically finding people based on the cultivator's Qi energy occupies more than half of the orifices in this kind of talisman. There are too many magic arrays involved. Those that automatically identify Qi energy, control the consumption of the talisman's spiritual energy, and prevent it from being intercepted by others all require corresponding orifice arrays.

The remaining functions are much easier to handle. However, the special talismans carry too much information, so the number of corresponding orifices must increase, squeezing the orifices of the missing person function module. The two must achieve a perfect balance, so they are more difficult to make.

"If I can remove this functional module from this talisman, leaving only the function of carrying information, then can I save a huge amount of spiritual stones?"

Tian Jin was startled, and then his mind raced. After a few breaths, he smiled and said:

"I was almost fooled by you. The magic weapon you mentioned is also available in Qiyun City. It's a communication token. It's paired in pairs, divided into male and female. As long as one is activated, the other can receive the information. This is not uncommon."

Fang Qingyuan's expression remained calm. The communication token was like the walkie-talkie in his previous life, with very limited functions. What he had imagined was far from comparable to this.

"Communication tokens can only be used in pairs, but the spiritual network I envision can allow thousands of people to communicate at the same time. I have a way to send messages to the corresponding magic tools. Then, everyone can communicate and chat with each other without leaving home."

Tian Jin looked impatient, he was not willing to listen. To him, Fang Qingyuan's fantasy was really heresy. The cultivation world had been living like this for thousands and tens of thousands of years. This young man from Baishan wanted to change it right away. He really didn't know his own limitations.

People always think they are so great, but in the end they find out that they are nothing.

So what if you become a Nascent Soul? Does Qiyun City need a Nascent Soul like you? If it weren't for the fact that Patriarch Tianchang appreciated you, who would be willing to let you in to share a piece of the pie.

Just a nouveau riche from Baishan.

Thinking of this, Tian Jin's attitude changed slightly. Let this kid get bloody and let him know that in Qiyun, no matter how great a genius is, he cannot succeed alone.

After Fang Qingyuan said a few more words, he realized Tian Jin's attitude, so he shut up tactfully and stopped trying to make Tian Jin understand his thoughts.

"Let's talk about the specific support. Which industry do you need cooperation from? Which industry do you want me to contact?"

As the most powerful family in Qiyun City, the Tian family has many industries of their own, but Fang Qingyuan can only get limited support. They can help you through the early stages, but that doesn't mean they can give you the industries. If you can't manage them, you'd better just accept your salary.

"I need a workshop for making talismans and refining tools, and a few high-level monks who can make talismans and refining tools."

"That's all? You can ask for more support. This is not worthy of your status and treatment."

Fang Qingyuan thought for a moment and said:

"You will also be able to operate and sell books in various bookshops in the city."

"Why, you want to write a book?"

"That's not the case. At most, I'll just sell some small gadgets in the future."

Tian Jin thought about it. Qiyun Fairy City has seventy-two districts, and each district has more or less three to ten bookstores, which sell biographies, strange articles, various Taoist classics and the like. The most precious of them are some low-level cultivation techniques, but at most they can only help with foundation building.

Because higher-level cultivation techniques can either be purchased from treasure houses opened by major businesses, or in exchange for joining a sect, although Qi Yun is more relaxed, he still values ​​cultivation resources. The real good things rarely flow out unless they reach a certain level.

And this is not a critical industry. If Fang Qingyuan wanted to interfere in the treasure buildings of various forces, Tian Jin would naturally not agree. But it's just a bookstore, so let him do as he pleases.

"That's easy. I'll just go and say hello. Let me take a look. There's a poorly managed weapon refining and talisman making workshop in the East Fifth District. I'll transfer it to your name. You'll also have to take care of the dozens of cultivators who make weapons and talismans. I'll also transfer two third-level talisman makers and one third-level weapon refiner to help you for three years. What do you think?"

Although Tian Jin did not understand Fang Qingyuan's idea, he would not deliberately withhold what he should do. This support was indeed of great significance to Fang Qingyuan.

"That's enough. Thank you for taking care of me, Senior Brother Jin. I am very grateful to you."

"Haha, I look forward to your success."

After coming out from Tian Jin, Fang Qingyuan thought about his previous response and sighed slightly.

As the saying goes, people with different beliefs cannot work together. Tian Jin has lived for more than a thousand years and can be considered an old stubborn man. It is normal that he looks down on the new technology he proposed.

Well, if you have never seen that prosperous era with your own eyes, who can imagine the miraculous network of all things in the future?

However, if you want to truly achieve the scene you envision, the time required will be calculated in hundreds of years. For now, you have to take it step by step, starting with the most basic, which is to develop a special magic tool that can receive spiritual energy signals.

Well, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a spiritual radio, but even if it is developed, there will still be an adaptation process. During this period, perhaps another simple improvement can be made, which is to make a newspaper.

There are no newspapers in Qiyun Fairy City. Instead, there are various storytellers, notices, and miscellaneous books published once or twice a month to collect information from the previous month.

The monks generally have a slower pace, and they don't feel it's wrong to know this information earlier or later. They just watch it for fun anyway, and their current practice life is the most important.

But Fang Qingyuan wanted to let these monks know how happy it is to be able to keep up with the trend every day.

But before that, Fang Qingyuan had to go to a place where his sect's disciples were waiting for him.

Qiyun City, West District 9, Baishan Qingyuan Sect’s Qiyun City Office, several monks are silently carrying out their daily exercises.

They didn't know yet that their sect master had successfully transcended the tribulation. Under the instructions of the headmaster Liu Xun, these disciples stayed at home all year round and practiced hard, for fear of causing trouble to Fang Qingyuan. Life was really not easy for the people of Baishan in Qiyun.

Qiyun Fairy City is divided into four major urban areas in the east, south, west and north, and seventy-two small areas. There are eighteen small areas in each major area. Each district has its own market name, but outsiders usually call them by numbers. Who would be willing to remember so many?

Therefore, only people from this district or neighboring districts use the name of this district or city.

The West District is considered the slums of Qiyun Fairy City. The spiritual energy here is even sparser than in the other three districts, so the largest number of mortals, low-level cultivators, and various miscellaneous gangs and small sects live here.

The West Ninth District is relatively good, but the nine districts behind it are even worse. Currently, this two-entry house is rented by the Qingyuan Sect. The annual rent is ten high-quality spirit stones, just to make it convenient for Fang Qingyuan to do things.

However, in the two years since Fang Qingyuan entered Qiyun, Fang Qingyuan had nothing to instruct these Qi-cultivating cultivators to do. The level he was at was far beyond the scope of what these disciples could handle.

This is even more so now. After Fang Qingyuan successfully formed a fetus, he came out of seclusion and dealt with several things in succession. Only then did he remember these disciples of his sect.

Walking on the streets of West Nine District, most of the monks passing by are dusty and there are many faces from other places. The mortals on the street are also bold. Some children dare to come forward to sell their goods when they see the monks.

There are more than 10 million immortals and mortals in Qiyun Immortal City, and 99% of them are mortals. Every mortal family and cultivator are more or less related, so the cultivators cannot put on airs in front of these mortals.

Moreover, Qiyun Immortal City is a place where rules are followed. No matter whether it is the implicit rules or the explicit rules, cultivators are not allowed to attack mortals without reason. Violators will be severely punished. Those with serious circumstances will be directly deposed from their cultivation, and even worse, beheaded.

Therefore, in Qiyun City, you can see a brothel girl grabbing the sleeve of a foreign cultivator and not letting him leave, and you can also see several children surrounding a foreign cultivator, and you can't drive them away even if you shout them, so you have to pay some spirit crystals to get rid of them.

Fang Qingyuan was strolling on this busy street. He had a fresh and refined temperament and his white clothes were whiter than snow, but no one looked at him, as if Fang Qingyuan was a ghost.

In the West Ninth District, the ones with the highest cultivation levels were a few second-rate Jindan cultivators. Fang Qingyuan, who had not yet passed the tribulation, could easily toy with them, not to mention Fang Qingyuan, who had already achieved the Nascent Soul stage.

Feeling the long-lost breath of life, Fang Qingyuan came to the courtyard of his own sect. Just as he was about to announce his arrival, he saw the poor gate being kicked open by someone.

After dealing with the bloody plot and slapping everyone in the face, Fang Qingyuan ordered his excited disciples to return to the sect to pass a message, asking Liu Xun to lead several sect leaders to meet him here.

This was also to allow Liu Xun and his men to inspect the environment of Qiyun Fairy City in advance, and then go back to collect the opinions of each vassal to see whether they wanted to leave or stay.

Shi Shiran moved from West District 9, and Fang Qingyuan moved to East District 5. If the West District was the slums of Qiyun City, then East District 18 was undoubtedly the best place.

Various workshops are gathered here, and those who come and go are high-level talents such as alchemists and weapon refiners. There are all kinds of gardens and restaurants. The previous Tianchi Garden and Tianbao Tower are both located in the eastern front areas.

Now Fang Qingyuan came to the East Fifth District, preparing to take over the weapon refining workshop that Tian Jin promised to him, a weapon refining workshop in Qiyun Fairy City, which costs spirit stones and is not easy to obtain.

According to the address given by Tian Jin, Fang Qingyuan strolled into the workshop that occupied an entire underground fire. He first looked around stealthily, and then shook his head.

No wonder this workshop is on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management. Nine out of ten monks are lazy and often put raw materials into their own pockets. The talismans they produce are of poor quality, with a yield rate of only 80%, which is extremely excessive.

The most important thing is that the underground fire seems to be about to go out, and it is really rotten.

Thinking of Tian Jin's happiness when he made the promise, Fang Qingyuan sighed lightly and found the trace directly.

Just do things one step at a time. Anyway, I have a long life and I have just broken through. If I want to cultivate to the second level of Nascent Soul, it will take at least fifty years.

Life is long, there is no need to rush.

I will try to avoid these clichéd developments and face-slapping plots. Let's go straight to the main story, okay? Changes are interspersed in daily life. Through detailed descriptions, I will not describe Fang Qingyuan's efforts.

Today I have written 8,400 words. Please give me a monthly vote. I still owe three chapters.
