Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Anyone who has aided the demon lord in his brutal oppression of ordinary creatures has been punished with varying degrees of karmic fire under the judgment of the divine seal.

Although there is no life-threatening danger, it is not pleasant either. It is not easy to accumulate merit and fortune, so there is no room for the burning of karma.

Fortunately, these demon masters are not qualified to have the legends of Qingyun Mountain work for them, otherwise, just because of these punishments, which will lead to a decline in luck and merit, they will be eliminated from Qingyun Mountain.

Time will not stop for these people.

On this day, the three major departments of the Suppression of Evil Department, the Merit Hall and the Di Ting Tower jointly announced that the Tai City Super Technology City was completed.

This is news that everyone has been looking forward to. It has been almost two years since the Taoist Master bestowed extraordinary technology, and the first extraordinary technology city has finally been completed.

The monks’ ability to build has always been strong, which may be the potential carried in their genes.

These years have been a process of exploration and construction. They have established a brand new spiritual civilization on the ruins.

Xuan Huang is like a designer who provides the blueprint, while the monks complete the construction bit by bit.

This is what the Extraordinary Technology City is like.

Because there is no energy and materials to start extraordinary technology, all these aspects have to be supplemented by the monks.

Whether it is the formation required for energy or the materials needed for large machines, they are all refined by cultivators.

It cannot be considered an extraordinary technology city in the full sense of the word.

But this is not important. The Evil Suppression Department and the Merit Hall do not have these requirements. The most important thing is to get it running first. The shortcomings can be made up slowly.

It doesn’t matter if there is no energy and materials, you can build it up bit by bit.

In a simple planning headquarters.

Han Wu and Xia Qing are still the hosts.

"So far, the points spent have exceeded 80 million. If they are really put into operation, they will need at least 20 to 30 million points to truly operate independently. In other words, the construction of an extraordinary technology city has cost at least 100 million points."

Xia Qing said with a sigh.

"Technological civilization is really different from spiritual practice. It takes so much manpower and financial resources to get started. It's really not easy."

Han Wu was also surprised by such a huge number.

Compared with normal practice, it doesn’t matter whether a cultivator has points or not. If points are not required to comprehend visualization diagrams and techniques, there is almost no expense.

Of course, such practice will also be very slow. Without external aids such as elixirs and talismans, the practice will be very slow if the cultivator relies entirely on himself.

However, no matter how slow it is, at least it can be put into operation. This is not the case with advanced technology, which requires massive investment in the early stages.

"In this case, it is difficult for extraordinary technology to compare with spiritual practice, unless we continue to invest in it for endless years as always." Xia Qing concluded.

"Ok!"

Han Wu nodded in agreement. At present, apart from the two major departments, no one else has the financial and human resources to build an extraordinary technology city.

Although because it was the first time, lack of experience caused a lot of waste, and we also had to overcome many difficulties and tackle many problems.

These expenses should actually be counted as R&D expenses, not actual construction costs.

But even if these are removed, building such an extraordinary technological city would require at least 30 million points.

Besides, how to solve the demand for manpower?

None of the Four Supers have the power to mobilize the entire cultivation world to participate.

The best reward that Sichao offers is points, but points alone are unlikely to make so many monks willingly participate.

There are many places to earn points, there is no need to be an architect.

The Merit Hall and the Evil Suppression Department are different. Not to mention that they occupy big names, even the rewards given are enough to make Si Chao jealous.

Various five-element spiritual objects, various Taoist soldier pools, various innate spiritual intentions, various realms of enlightenment, various treasures on the blood sea burial ground, and so on.

These are the fatal attractions that make the world of repair willingly come to get the rewards.

Because there is no other place selling these except here.

The great reputation plus the scarce resources are the reasons why they are willing to build Tai City.

None of the four super powers have such conditions.

"This is also a question I have been thinking about recently. How the Extraordinary Technology City can continue to operate is crucial. We can't just keep investing in them. If we do that, they will not have any competitiveness at all and will be eliminated."

"That's right, this is not the extraordinary technology that the Taoist wants. If extraordinary technology requires long-term feeding to persist, then such persistence is meaningless."

Although the two built the Tai City Super Technology City, they were also worried about its future.

Only technology that is self-circulating, self-accumulating, and self-evolving can persist, otherwise it will be a castle in the air.

"The management personnel of Super Science and Technology City are very important. How is the selection going?" Han Wu asked.

This is very important. Whether these managers can be self-reliant is very important.

"They have been selected. There are monks and ordinary technical personnel. Generally speaking, their abilities are OK. They stood out in this construction. They all have real abilities."

"Have you asked them about their vision for the science and technology city?" Han Wu asked again.

"That's not the case, but I could feel that they were very confident," Xia Qing recalled.

"Oh?" Han Wu was very curious.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Why not gather them together and ask them? Generally speaking, the two of us still think like monks. Our understanding and planning in many areas are not as clear as theirs, and we think differently. Perhaps they are the key to solving the problem."

"I think so too." Xia Qing nodded.

It's not that the two of them are stupid. If they were not smart, it would be impossible for them to occupy the first deputy positions of the two major departments for a long time. This position is not gained by indulgence, but by real ability.

But as Han Wu said, both of them have the mindset of cultivators, so some things are not clear.

Both of them are very decisive.

He acted as soon as he thought of it and quickly gathered a group of people. These people were the management who would take over the management of the Extraordinary Technology City.

One of the young men would have been very pleased if Zuo Qiuming were here. This young man was Ye Shou.

After paying homage, Han Wu and Xia Qing got down to business.

"You are the first batch of management selected by us for Tai City Science and Technology City. You all have good abilities. We have also seen your performance over the past year. Now that the science and technology city is about to be completed, the time has come for you to fulfill your mission. Are you ready?" Han Wu asked.

"Minister Han Wu, we are ready."

The one who took the lead in replying was a cultivator, a second-level cultivator of the Confucian sect, and he also had a famous name called Doctor. That's right, it was Doctor of the Confucian sect, the founder of the External Scenery Spiritual Root Method, and one of the four great geniuses at the time.

The Taoist priest, the Buddhist monk who sweeps the floor, the Confucian doctor, and Yuan Tianchun at the beginning.

The four were once legends;

Each of them shines in his own field and creates a system of his own.

The doctor started with talisman materials, and later obtained the branch of Jianmu as the spiritual root, which all the external spiritual root practitioners are proud of.

Although he has been low-key over the years and has not been as powerful as the Sweeping Monk Meng Xiu and Yuan Tianchun of the Yuanzhen Sect, no one dares to underestimate him and he has a very high status in the Confucian school.

He is revered as the ancestor of the external scene spiritual root method.

He was a scientist, and the moment he heard about the establishment of the Extraordinary Technology City, he made a decision quickly.

He resolutely left the Confucian school and became a new independent cultivator.

The Confucians did not agree with this decision at first. How could this be possible? Isn't this a weakening of the society?
Fortunately, Yan Lai agreed later. I don’t know what Yan Lai said to everyone, but the doctor left the Confucian school, but not completely. He became the nominal deputy head of the Confucian school, but he did not have any rights. It was just a nominal title.

He chose to devote himself to the construction of the Extraordinary Technology City.

At this point, everyone generally understood his thoughts. This was the turmoil in a scientist's heart.

After all these years, he still hasn't forgotten that he is a scientist.

After all, all his achievements started from scientific research, and now he is just returning to his old business.

Although he is at the second level of cultivation and is using the external spiritual root method, he can store the spiritual roots in his dantian and can move freely.

It is just better to place the spiritual roots in the outside world, such as in the sacred mountains and rivers with rich spiritual energy and good fortune, so that his spiritual roots can be improved while his qualifications can be enhanced.

After investing in the construction of extraordinary technology, his existence has solved many problems.

It can be said that without him, Tai City’s Extraordinary Technology City would never have been built so quickly.

He naturally became the first mayor of Tai City's Extraordinary Technology City, a mayor that everyone was convinced of.

The two major departments are also happy to see the results.

It is not easy for anyone to entrust such a large science and technology city to others. Ordinary people really cannot manage it. Only someone with a legendary identity like a doctor can manage it.

He has both talent and ability, not to mention fame.

The presence of a city lord like this can give people hope.

"Since the doctor is so confident, we are relieved, but..."

Han Wu changed the subject and asked, "I still have some questions to ask."

"Just ask, Minister."

Han Wu said: "I believe you all know that the cost of building the Extraordinary Science and Technology City is not bad, but this is just for the establishment. If you want to keep it running in the future, the hematopoietic evolution that can self-circulate is still a problem. Have you thought about this?"

Dr. Points knows about the cost, it's an astronomical figure.

Even his old club, Confucianism, couldn't get such points.

As the minister said, it has only been established, but how it will operate has not been figured out. No one can say whether it will become a bottomless pit.

But they, including the doctors and the management, are confident. They have discussed this issue more than once or twice.

"Reporting to the two adults, we have thought about it and have formed an outline for a positive cycle. The specific implementation effect cannot be guaranteed, but we are confident that we can self-circulate and self-evolve."

The Doctor said confidently.

"Oh?" Han Wu and Xia Qing looked at each other, and both were very satisfied.

"Tell me in detail." Han Wu said.

"Yes!"

The reason why everyone is satisfied that the city lord is a doctor is because the doctor not only has great accomplishments and fame, but also has management experience, experience in reporting to higher-level departments, and calm and capable abilities.

He is a comprehensive talent. Even if he was not such a person before, he has become such a comprehensive person after so many years of experience.

"Minister, Palace Master, if we want to solve the self-circulation of the Science and Technology City, we must first have a clear goal, that is, who should we serve first?"

"Yes!" Han Wu and the other person nodded to continue.

"The first ones we serve are definitely not the legends of Qingyun Mountain, nor the cultivators of top cities such as Nanshi. These Taoist friends are too high-end. We cannot serve them for the time being, and we cannot afford to serve them. Our first target is the endless number of low- and middle-level cultivators, or even the bottom-level cultivators."

"Huh?" Han Wu and Xia Qing suddenly realized.

This is the blind spot. Because of their status and cultivation, as well as their lofty position, all they can see are the legends of Qingyun Mountain and some masters, and they really ignore the lower-level personnel who make up 80 to 90 percent.

"Let's talk about a few specific examples. For example, the Explosion Talisman is a spiritual talisman that almost all cultivators can use. However, cultivators who can use this talisman without batting an eyelid are almost all masters or have great financial resources. This is not the case for cultivators at the lower levels. They have worked extremely hard to earn every point, so how can they be qualified to use this Explosion Talisman? We can provide high-quality and low-cost energy bombs."

This is an obvious example.

After hearing this, Han Wu and Xia Qing understood.

It’s not that the Exploding Talisman is so important, but the idea is very important.

They can produce energy bombs like an assembly line, although the effect is far from the real explosive talisman, the difference between having them useful and good is like heaven and earth when you can't afford them.

"For example, some materials for talismans, including spiritual ink, etc., are how I started my business. We can produce some extraordinary chemical materials on an assembly line to replace materials for refining talismans, magic tools, etc. As I said before, our quality may not be good, but we have enough and cheap enough."

"Also, we can even scientifically mix and synthesize some Bigu Pills, which are high-energy ingredients, some standard weapons, etc. These are all our outputs."

Having said this, there is no need to say anything else.

Although he is inferior, he is in great demand. High-level monks will naturally look down on him, but he will be very welcome by countless low-level monks.

As long as a positive cycle is formed, they can completely improve inferior products and gradually advance to the essence.

"In addition, there are ordinary people. Although we cannot develop evolutionary drugs or genetic drugs in a short period of time, we can still make reinforcements. Humans are making progress, and disease viruses are also making progress. We can also develop vaccines to overcome viruses, etc. These are also needed by ordinary people."

The doctor also talked about a wider group, which is ordinary people.

Although this is a promotion and it’s best not to be involved, what is the purpose of extraordinary technology?
You have to understand that his appearance is completely different from that of a monk.

Monks are personal hopes, while technology is the overall hope. Ordinary people and monks avoid them, but they are the best choice for extraordinary technology.
