World version update

Chapter 70 Psychic Classification
"What is cultivation?"

Quentin asked doubtfully.

"It's just a use of psychic energy."

Lu Yan waved his hands and gave a random explanation to get away with it.

In fact, when we were on the ground block before, Green Rose had said that the giant corporations in the universe controlled the source of spiritual energy and formulated spiritual energy taxes based on the amount of spiritual energy used by individuals.

At that time, Lu Yan thought it was just an exaggeration. After all, it sounded too incredible for a force to have extraordinary power to control everything in the world, but he did not expect that it actually existed.

From sunshine tax, air tax to intelligent God and even spiritual energy, the more Lu Yan understands the cyber version, the more he is shocked by the horror of this behemoth, the Global Giant Corporation.

However, such a terrifying force has no presence in the urban, fairy-tale, and apocalyptic versions. This is what Lu Yan cannot understand the most.

Lu Yan instinctively felt that the cyber version was different from the previous versions he had experienced.

However, the existing information was not enough for Lu Yan to make any judgment. After thinking for a while, Lu Yan focused his attention on the spiritual power in front of him.

No matter what the version is, it is always right to improve your strength as much as possible.

For a Qi-cultivating cultivator, accumulating magic power is an extremely long process. Lu Yan has taken elixirs many times to speed up his practice as much as possible.

But after all, the time of practice is too short. It has been less than a year since the beginning of practice. Being able to advance to the fifth level of Qi training is the result of various opportunities.

Countless independent cultivators were trapped in the later and peak stages of Qi training. Even if Lu Yan had enough resources, it would take at least two or three years to complete the accumulation.

The spiritual power that appeared before his eyes gave Lu Yan hope of achieving success in one step.

Absorbing another stream of spiritual energy into his Dantian, Lu Yan clearly felt how violent the spiritual energy was, trying to rush around in his body and escape the constraints of his flesh.

But under the powerful magic power of the fifth level of Qi training, a mere spiritual energy could not cause any waves at all, and with the practice of "Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra", the spiritual energy was quickly assimilated by the magic power.

The magic power in Lu Yan's dantian once again increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Carefully sensing the magic power transformed from spiritual energy, since the spiritual energy is not obtained by taking elixirs, there are no impurities such as elixir poison deposited in the magic power, and its purity is far superior to the magic power obtained by taking elixirs.

The only drawback is that these spiritual energies are too violent, and it takes a certain amount of time to assimilate them into magic power by breathing in large quantities of spiritual energies.

However, even if the time for assimilating magic power is taken into account, this training speed is already comparable to cheating.

Just as Lu Yan was quietly breathing in spiritual energy, a message suddenly popped up on the personal terminal in Quentin's hand.

"Why is the industrial psychic energy budget overspent today?"

Quentin was startled and quickly reached out to turn off the switch, and the gushing psychic energy quickly dissipated.

Lu Yan noticed that the spiritual energy that should have dissipated into the air disappeared silently after the switch was turned off, as if it had entered another world. Even Lu Yan could not find any trace of the spiritual energy.

"All spiritual energy does not remain in reality, but is actively stored in another unknown place. This is why there is no spiritual energy in reality. If you want to obtain spiritual energy, you can only go through the Universal Corporation."

Lu Yan had a vague understanding in his heart.

This method can no longer be explained by simple technology, it is more like a transformation at the rule level.

The world's giant corporations are the forces that control that psychic law.

Looking at Quentin, who was looking at the overspending bill with a distressed look on his face, Lu Yan pointed at the psychic switch and said:
"I'm very interested in this."

Quentin then put down his personal terminal and patiently explained to Lu Yan:
“This is a psychic energy transmission system. It contains complex psychic energy codes. Once it is activated, we can borrow psychic energy from the giant corporations in the universe.

This is the lowest level of industrial-grade psychic energy. Because it is too violent, the human body cannot absorb it normally. It can only be used to drive large machines or assist in the maintenance of conventional machinery.

Above this there are conventional-level psychic energy and medicinal-level psychic energy. Conventional-level psychic energy can power psychic tattoos and charge precision instruments. The psychic energy in psychic batteries is of the conventional level.

The medicinal grade psychic energy is mild in nature and can enhance a person's physical fitness and assist in alienation transformation. The price of different grades of psychic energy varies by dozens of times. Both industrial and conventional grades charge psychic energy taxes based on usage, but medicinal grade psychic energy needs to be purchased directly through the Universal Giant Enterprise, and even has limited purchasing qualifications. "

At this point, Quentin looked helpless.

Lu Yan nodded thoughtfully.

Industrial-grade psychic energy is too violent for others to absorb, that's because the cyber version of the supernatural system is closer to transformation than self-cultivation.

Lu Yan possesses the skills to cultivate immortality, so the so-called violent psychic energy is nothing more than a problem that can be solved with some time. In comparison, the industrial-grade psychic energy that is large in quantity and sufficient in quantity is more suitable for him.

If he had a steady supply of industrial-grade spiritual energy, Lu Yan even felt that his cultivation would improve rapidly.

"If I were to build an industrial-grade psychic transmission system in my own residence, what conditions would I need to meet?"

Quentin shook his head and said, "Why would we need to go through so much trouble? The underground pharmaceutical factory has the largest industrial-grade psychic energy transmission system in the entire cave.

If you rent it, you can use it directly, and you only need to pay the spiritual energy tax on time."

After hearing Quentin's words, Lu Yan made the decision immediately.

"Then let's go check out that underground pharmaceutical factory first."

Quentin was naturally delighted. The underground pharmaceutical factory had been idle for too long. If he could negotiate the lease, he would be able to get a considerable commission.

So Quentin walked out from behind the counter, closed the shop door, and took the initiative to lead Lu Yan.

The cave is hundreds of meters underground and its area is only equivalent to that of a small town, so the distance is not far. Quentin and Lu Yan quickly arrived at the underground pharmaceutical factory.

As for Luluo, she ran away after Quentin paid a thousand credit points for the guide fee. As an ordinary citizen in the lower city, she instinctively avoided getting involved in the affairs of big shots.

In an area surrounded by a large number of garbage houses, Quentin pushed open a rusty door, and an underground pharmaceutical factory appeared in front of Lu Yan.

This is a huge structure made of reinforced concrete, and the upper part looks like an ancient castle.

As you walk into the castle, what comes into view is a huge underground processing plant. A production line that has been abandoned for who knows how many years is placed here. A large amount of processing materials are piled up in the surrounding corners, but most of them have decayed and covered with dust over time.

Quentin pointed at the underground processing plant and said:

"This used to be the underground factory of the Jiulong Group, with a complete production line of basic strengthening drugs."

He paused for a moment, knowing that the person in front of him seemed to be unclear about many common senses, so Quentin added:
"The so-called basic strengthening potion is a potion made by imitating the psychic energy extraction injection and combining it with some basic medicines. Since it uses industrial-grade psychic energy, the medicinal properties are violent and difficult to control.

After taking the injection, many people will experience confusion, swollen limbs, intellectual decline, and some users will even have a protruding skull.

Due to the low price, many people are still willing to use basic strengthening potions to try to strengthen their bodies to adapt to psychic transformation."

“But as the underground factory fell into the eyes of the city tax bureau, the high psychic tax made it impossible for the underground factory to maintain its price advantage. In addition, the sky-high fines for evading the psychic tax led to the factory’s bankruptcy, and all its items were confiscated.

Although this place has been dusty for a long time, most of the equipment can be operated again after a little tidying up.

But the most important thing is the factory's industrial-grade psychic energy delivery system."

As he spoke, Quentin turned on the switch.

Lu Yan could sense that the psychic codes buried inside the supervisory body were constantly being activated. The next moment, a massive amount of psychic energy instantly filled the entire factory. Lu Yan didn't even need to breathe in and out deliberately, as the psychic energy would be absorbed into his body under the traction of his dantian.

Feeling his rapidly growing cultivation, Lu Yan said with satisfaction:

“I want this factory!”
