In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 242 How Many Mothers Do You Have, Daring to Talk to Me Like That? (4K, Please Subscribe!)

After having a friendly and cordial conversation with Ji Qin, Ji Ming quickly found an excuse to send his sister away.

As soon as Ji Qin left, the atmosphere in the sword repair factory became cold and solemn again.

Su Yuan remained calm and composed, while Ji Ming was restless and uneasy, clearly revealing their subordinate relationship.

"Tell me, what do you want our Chaotic Sword Hall to do?"

Ji Ming's tone was deep:

"Let me make this clear beforehand: although my Chaotic Sword Hall has no choice but to submit to you, we are, after all, a righteous sect."

"We will never agree to do anything immoral or unethical!"

Su Yuan didn't keep them in suspense and said calmly:
"It's very simple. Hand over all the core flying sword modification technologies of the Chaotic Sword Hall. I want to review them one by one."

Although he had anticipated that Su Yuan would make an exorbitant demand, Ji Ming's heart still sank upon hearing this request.

Seeing the other party's concerns, Su Yuan explained:

"Don't worry, I won't plagiarize the core technology of the Chaotic Sword Hall; I'll just use it as a reference."

"And if I'm not mistaken, most of your core technologies were affected by that fencing accident and can no longer be used commercially, right?"

"Otherwise, how could such a large organization as the Chaotic Sword Hall have degenerated into an illegal modification factory?"

"Our Yuan Cult is a legitimate and legal demonic cult. We would never use these illegal techniques to profit, so you can rest assured."

After Su Yuan finished speaking, the current leader of the Chaotic Sword Hall lowered his head in frustration.

He had to admit that Su Yuan was right.

So what if the techniques of the Chaotic Sword Hall haven't been interrupted?

No matter how advanced a banned technology is, it will only be swept into the dustbin of history, and its value will be less than one-tenth of what it was before.

He sighed, took out a storage jade slip from his inner pocket, and handed it to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan asked for a computer, inserted the jade slip into it, and casually browsed its contents.

Most of the core technologies of the Chaotic Sword Hall are related to the forging methods of flying sword modification parts.

These modification parts all fall under the category of magical artifacts.

As long as it's a legitimate skill-based technique, the Deceptive Skill Constitution will take effect, translating it from Chinese to Chinese and transforming it into a demonic skill.

This is how Su Yuan avoids patent issues.

One by one, righteous modification parts were transformed into demonic modification parts.

The difference between the two lies in their refining methods, and their effects are also different.

The latter may be more powerful, or it may be less stable, and may even have some side effects.

The good thing is that these magical modification parts are very inexpensive.

The raw materials for righteous modification parts are all precious spiritual metals, which are then combined with complex forging techniques and engraved with various runes and magic arrays to be refined.

Not only are the procedures complicated, but the costs are also impossible to control.

The modification parts for the Demonic Path are much better; the requirements for the spiritual metal material are several levels lower than those for the original version.

As for how to make up for the lack of raw materials?
It's simple, just add flesh and blood ingredients.

Melting metal together with the bones and blood of spirit beasts increases the metal's toughness and adds more spiritual energy to it.

If forging skills are insufficient, then throw the raw materials into a blood pool. Through the connection between the blood pool and the flesh and blood material in the metal, the impurities are removed bit by bit.

Various runes or magic arrays are too difficult to inscribe on magical artifacts.
Then let's look for a spirit beast with similar abilities, extract its innate abilities, and stuff them into the modification parts, and we'll be all set.

All I can say is that demonic arts are just those three basic techniques.

Souls, flesh and blood, resentment—these kinds of materials from the underworld can accomplish anything.

The world where only the spirit beasts are injured is complete.

However, after reviewing many flying sword modification techniques, Su Yuan still couldn't find one that met his expectations.

His funds were insufficient to produce a large number of modified parts and establish a real flying sword modification factory.

In Su Yuan's plan, he intends to create one or two flagship products with extremely wide applicability, which will not only attract many sword cultivator customers, but also win the favor of the Demon Slayer Sword Sect.

Just as Su Yuan was finishing reviewing the core technologies of the Chaotic Sword Hall, a blueprint for a magical artifact that was still in the experimental stage appeared before him.

His gaze sharpened slightly, and the vast amount of knowledge in the blueprints transformed into demonic knowledge, rapidly flooding into his mind.

"A self-aspirating psionic engine? Your Chaotic Sword Hall actually had such grand ambitions back then?"

Su Yuan pointed to the blueprints for the uncommercialized modification parts and said in surprise.

Upon hearing this question, Ji Ming proudly puffed out his chest:
"Indeed, at its peak, Luanjiantang did have the idea of ​​developing its own engine module, and invested a lot of money and countless people in it."

"This self-aspirating psionic engine is the culmination of my father's and the engineers of the Chaotic Sword Hall's wisdom."

"Once successfully developed, the flying sword will, like cultivators or spirit beasts, spontaneously absorb and release the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to meet its flight requirements."

"In this way, the flying sword's endurance will be greatly improved. It can complete the entire race without replacing spirit stones during the race, and its future prospects are even brighter if it is used for civilian purposes."

"However, the self-aspirating psionic engine still has many shortcomings. Before the Chaotic Sword Hall goes bankrupt, it can only be used as a burst module."

Su Yuan asked curiously:
"Why did such a promising engine ultimately fail to flourish?"

Ji Ming's head slumped down:
"We used the self-aspirating psionic engine technology to modify the racing flying swords. During a burst of propulsion, the module went out of control, rushed off the track, and caused that disaster."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan was speechless.

"So the downfall of your Chaotic Sword Hall wasn't solely due to my master's endorsement, was it?"

"It's more because you were greedy for quick success and rushed into the competition with technologies that were still in the experimental stage."

“If you keep making no mistakes, even if my master’s luck is in serious trouble, the Chaotic Sword Hall will not go bankrupt.”

Ji Ming remained silent, clearly feeling somewhat guilty.

But despite feeling guilty, he was also resentful. Although on the surface it was all due to the Chaotic Sword Hall's greed and recklessness, the technology could have gone wrong earlier or later, but it just happened when Taibai Baiji was the spokesperson. Who should be blamed for this?

Moreover, this is not an isolated case.

The Juque Sect, the Huangjian Sect, and even the Five Elements Sword Sect, the Tanlang Sword Pavilion, and other sects encountered almost the same situation as the Chaotic Sword Hall.

Taibai Ji just became a spokesperson, and their products either had fatal problems that led to a collapse in reputation, or their technology went astray during the research and development stage, resulting in a broken capital chain.

Without exception.

Who would believe it if I said these things had nothing to do with Taibai and Baiji?
However, Su Yuan did not argue with the other party about such matters and focused on studying the semi-finished technology.

Or rather, to focus on researching magical techniques derived from this technology.

The original self-aspirating psionic engine was designed to mimic the breathing and storage of spiritual energy by cultivators.

Therefore, Luanjiantang designed a complete set of simulated meridian circuits and artificial dantian, and integrated them into the flying sword propulsion device.

The cost of this engine is unimaginable.

However, once this technology was transformed into a magical technique, cost was no longer an issue.

What are we simulating?
Could a simulation possibly achieve the same effect as the meridians and dantian of a spirit beast?

The magical techniques contain detailed records of how to integrate the meridians and dantian of a spirit beast into a flying sword, giving the flying sword the ability to "breathe".

The cost dropped immediately.

Of course, the meridians and dantian of spirit beasts are actually just substitutes. The best material is actually human... But in a society governed by the rule of law, the cost of employing people is too high, and it's easy to end up with a silver bracelet. It's better not to use them.

However, after studying it carefully for a while, Su Yuan felt that something was missing from this technology.

The efficiency of the self-absorbing psionic engines in both the righteous and demonic versions of the energy engine is too low, lacking a certain kind of explosive power that is truly impressive!
With a thought, Su Yuan's title immediately changed to the dazzling level "Speedy Demon Cultivation".

【Title Effect 1: Speedrun (Active)】

[This can be activated once per day, and will provide the fastest solution to the current problem.]

Speedrun effect activated.

The next second, a large amount of information appeared in Su Yuan's mind.

[Self-Aspirating Psionic Engine (Incomplete) Improvement Direction: Fusion with the Demonic Art "Raging Heart Attack"!]

[Engine production strategy: Assault the Juque Sect, slaughter its remnants, and seize its production line for our own use!]

[Yuan Sect Headquarters Location: Flatten the Imperial Sword Gate and establish the Yuan Sect headquarters on its ruins!]

Wow... this lousy title actually worked for once!

Indeed, to make good use of this demonic title, one must ask demonic questions.

Look, everything from engine technology upgrades and manufacturing to the selection of the headquarters of the Yuan Cult has been finalized.

As for claims of wiping out the remnants of the Giant Sword Sect and crushing the Imperial Sword Sect, Su Yuan simply ignored them.

What kind of scene is this, with all this fighting and killing?
Why not use some underhanded... cough cough, or honorable means to subdue them?
Putting aside the matters of the Giant Sword Sect and the Imperial Sword Sect, Su Yuan was amazed by the very idea of ​​integrating the "Rage and Heart Attack" technique.

That’s right!
This is exactly what he wants!

What if the efficiency of normal breathing exercises is insufficient?
Why not just add another source of spiritual energy?
In this era of increasingly severe traffic congestion, many sword cultivators and flying boat drivers have contracted a chronic disease.

That is, as soon as he touches the steering wheel of the flying sword or flying boat, he will uncontrollably start cursing.

In particular, the most prosperous city in the Blue Star Federation, Shixian City, is extremely congested and honking is prohibited, so people can only defend their mother with their mouths.

In such an environment, the effect of psychological warfare based on anger will be maximized.

As various negative emotions surge in and are absorbed by the flying sword, a blue bar will appear on the flying sword out of thin air.

All sorts of explosive special moves are a piece of cake!

This technique would be equally effective in combat.

After all, whether it's a human, a spirit beast, or anything else, as long as there is life, there will be negative emotions.

These negative emotions can be added to the flying sword to enhance the power of the sword moves.

As for how to integrate the Fury Mindset into the self-absorbing psionic engine.

It's actually very simple; it's just a matter of adding a magic rune.

Although Su Yuan's demonic power, the Finger Talisman, will disappear within a certain period of time, he can first create the demonic talisman and then have Zhang Baiyi reverse-engineer it using technology.

Once the reverse engineering is successful, a permanent magic rune can be engraved on the engine.

After thinking it over and making sure there were no oversights, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The technology is absolutely fine. Next, we just need to settle the production and Yuanjiao headquarters, and then we can directly attract investment.

As for who is the most suitable person to attract investment?
Wealthy individuals such as Xiao Kong, Li Zhengxing, Zhang Baiyi, and Xi Yu are naturally among the top choices.

But aside from them, Su Yuan had another idea.

He wanted to directly approach the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect to secure investment!

Don't be fooled by the various requirements and restrictions that come with becoming an affiliated sect of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect; those are only applicable to ordinary sects.

Once an investment from one of the ten major immortal sects is secured, the invested sect will automatically become an affiliated sect.

Su Yuan believes that the self-absorbing psionic engine has the potential to gain the approval of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect.

Even if he can't attract investment through ordinary channels, Su Yuan has a sure-fire winning strategy.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan immediately smiled and asked Ji Ming:
"Master Ji, do you know where the remnants of the Giant Sword Sect and the Imperial Sword Sect are?"

"I want to pay them a warm and friendly visit on behalf of my master."

Ji Ming: "..."

A tremendous sense of fear surged into Ji Ming's heart!

call?

Are you really the kind of person who would properly visit the victims and offer them kind words of comfort?

You're clearly plotting to annex the Giant Sword Sect and the Imperial Sword Sect!
Juque Sect was once a well-known manufacturer of sword boats.

Shortly after being endorsed by Tai Baiji, Jianzhou was found to have major hidden dangers, leading to a large-scale recall of Jianzhou vehicles.

From then on, Juque Sect's sales and reputation both collapsed, leading to its bankruptcy.

The sect leader of the Juque Sect fled to the starry sea, leaving only his daughter to struggle to maintain the sect's reputation, making a living by processing ship-grade tissue boxes on the only remaining production line.

The Imperial Sword Sect is in an even worse situation.

Originally a well-known secret realm exploration organization, they suffered heavy losses during a secret realm exploration after being endorsed by Taibai Tianji.

With various subsidies and compensations provided, the sect's funding chain broke, its members became disaffected, and it eventually disbanded.

Only one sect building in the Exorcism Zone remains vacant.

The sect leader of Huangjian Sect was originally a young man in the Foundation Establishment stage. After his teammates from the expedition left him, he spent his days in a decadent state, drinking.

As victims of the Tai Bai Tian Ji, Luan Jian Tang and these two sects naturally have some connection.

Ji Ming and the sect leaders of the other two sects would occasionally get together to drink, complain to each other, and accuse Tai Baiji of committing numerous evil deeds!

Thinking of his two friends who lived in abject poverty, Ji Ming clenched his fists and said stiffly:

"I know nothing! I don't know them!"

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and patted Ji Ming on the shoulder, saying:
"If you don't know, you don't know. Don't get agitated, Master Ji."

He turned to look at the white-haired loli who looked eager to try:

“Yu Xi, since you can find the Chaotic Sword Hall, you must be able to find the Giant Sword Sect and the Imperial Sword Sect, right?”

Taibai Yuxi nodded vigorously and said happily:

"Brother Su Yuan, you are really amazing! You are actually preparing to kill three demons in one day. You are worthy of being my idol."

"I'll take you there now and we'll swallow up those two little demonic sects, making the Yuan Sect even greater."

Ji Ming: "..."

He had already observed a moment of silence for his two other friends.

Just then, Su Yuan turned his gaze to him again:

"Master Ji, would you like to come along?"

“You know my methods. Why don’t you come with me to persuade the Sect Master of Juque Sect and the Sect Master of Huangjian Sect, so that they don’t do anything foolish and make a scene.”

Ji Ming opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

In the end, he could only nod.
