Forced to become a top influencer, I rely on my tu cao to ruin the cultivation world.

The Hehuan Sect, the Hall of Ultimate Bliss.

This place should have been a place of singing and dancing, brimming with ambiguity. But today, the main hall is filled with a strange, rhythmic mechanical roar, and a strong, intoxicating smell of diesel fuel.

"Buzz—buzz—buzz—putt-putt-putt—"

Hundreds of female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect stood in neat rows, each holding a "nuclear-powered spiritual energy amplifier" specially supplied by Jia Zang. Like factory workers, they were expressionlessly performing "standardized operations" on the "spiritual energy collection piles" in front of them. In the very center of the main hall, Jia Zang's enormous "spiritual energy heavy tractor" was parked, serving as a "mobile charging station." Its huge exhaust pipe sputtered blue smoke, driving the entire hall's "spiritual energy collection piles" to operate at full speed through a thick driveshaft.

"Number 302, adjust the frequency to 3000 RPM! Pay attention to the stability of spiritual energy output! The tractor's speed is not enough, increase the power!"

"Number 303, your 'replenishment' efficiency is too low! Increase the intensity! We need KPIs! Do you understand KPIs?! Also, don't get too close to the tractor, be careful not to get burned by the exhaust pipe!"

A male cultivator wearing a white lab coat (actually a modified Taoist robe) and thick-rimmed glasses was patrolling the group with a stopwatch in hand. He was none other than Zhao Si, the junior brother of Liu Mei, the outer sect manager of the Hehuan Sect, who had been "scientifically brainwashed" by Jia Zang, and a "science fanatic".

"Senior sister! Look! With this 'nuclear-powered artifact,' my 'replenishment' efficiency has increased by 300%! Before, I could only 'replenish' one male cultivator a day, but now I can 'replenish' ten! And I'm not even tired! This is the charm of 'mechanized cultivation'! As long as the tractor keeps running, my spiritual energy will never run out!"

Liu Mei looked at the still vibrating metal rod in her hand, then at the tractor that was emitting blue smoke, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She admitted that this thing was indeed very useful. In the past, when practicing "dual cultivation," she had to watch the male cultivator's mood and go to great lengths to please him. Now... as long as she pressed a button, spiritual energy would flow in continuously, which was much more reliable than those male cultivators who only knew how to "pie in the sky"! Moreover, this tractor was like a tireless iron ox, always there "putting in its puffs" and giving its all.

"But... is this really a good idea?" Liu Mei murmured to herself, "Are our Hehuan Sect's 'seductive arts' going to become... 'assembly line operations'? Will we have to rely on a tractor to drive them?"

"Senior sister! Your vision is too narrow!" Zhao Si pushed up his glasses, his face full of fanaticism. "This is the 'industrial revolution' of the cultivation world! Before, we relied on talent and good looks, but now... we rely on 'parameters' and 'efficiency'! As long as our 'nuclear-powered artifact' is strong enough, plus the boost from this 'spiritual energy heavy tank,' even a pig can be turned into a golden core!"

[Livestream chat]

[Hahaha! Turning a pig into a golden elixir! Streamer, you really know your stuff when it comes to animal husbandry!]

[That's called "industrialized farming"!]

The Hehuan Sect is turning into a "pig farm"!

[That tractor: I was terrified. I thought I was going to be used to do bad things!]

Just then, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, "Phantom Fairy" Su Meier, entered with a group of elders.

She looked at the "spectacular" scene in the main hall, a hint of shock flashing in her beautiful eyes, which then turned into...anger.

"Outrageous! Who gave you permission to turn 'dual cultivation' into this?!" Su Meier shouted angrily. "What kind of behavior is this! Our Joyful Union Sect is a cultivation sect, not... not a 'factory'! And certainly not a 'tractor repair shop'!"

"Sect Leader! Please let me explain!" Zhao Si immediately stepped forward, holding the "nuclear-powered metal rod" in his hand, and presented it to Su Meier like a treasure. "This is a 'divine artifact' specially provided by Master Jia Zang! With it, plus the 'turbocharger' of this 'spiritual energy heavy tank,' our Hehuan Sect's cultivation speed can increase tenfold! At that time, we will be able to crush the Qingyun Sect and become the number one sect in the cultivation world!"

"Jia Zang? That swindler again!" Su Meier sneered. "He's ruining my Hehuan Sect! He's turning 'dual cultivation' into 'machine work,' and he even brought in a broken tractor. Is there any 'Tao' left in this?"

"The Dao?" Zhao Si laughed. "Sect Master, the Dao is efficiency! It's output! Think about it, if every disciple can 'absorb essence' like a machine, plus this tractor's 'unlimited range,' then what do we need those male cultivators for? We can be 'self-sufficient'! That's called... 'female cultivator independence'! Moreover, this tractor can also be a 'mobile fortress.' Whoever dares to invade, we'll drive it and ram them!"

Su Meier was stunned.

"Women...cultivating immortality independently? And...mobile fortresses?"

These two words struck her heart like two bolts of lightning.

As the sect leader of the Joyful Union Sect, she knew best the hardships female cultivators faced in the cultivation world. They were often seen as "furnace vessels" or "vassals." If... if she could truly escape male cultivators and even possess an "invincible" tractor...

"But...won't this be too...too cold?" Su Meier was still a little hesitant, her gaze unconsciously falling on the tractor that was still belching black smoke.

"Cold?" Zhao Si shook his head. "No, this is 'science'! It's 'progress'! Sect Master, you'll see once you try it! Just press this red button, and feel the 'industrial pulse' of the tractor, and you'll experience what 'spiritual freedom' truly means!"

Without a word, Zhao Si shoved the "nuclear-powered metal rod" into Su Meier's hand and pressed the start button. At the same time, he floored the accelerator, and the tractor roared to life.

"Buzz—!!! Throttle thud—!!!"

A powerful surge of spiritual energy, accompanied by the vibrations of the tractor, instantly flowed into Su Meier's body.

"ah--!"

Su Meier couldn't help but let out a soft cry. That feeling was stronger and purer than any male cultivator had ever given her! There was no deception, no pretense, only... a continuous stream of spiritual energy, and the "industrial power" of a tractor!

"This...how is this possible?!" Su Meier stared wide-eyed at the metal rod flashing blue light in her hand, then at the tractor that was making a "putt-putt-putt" sound, her eyes filled with...disbelief.

"Sect Master! Do you see that? This is the power of technology!" Zhao Si was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. "With it, plus this 'Psionic Heavy Tank,' our Hehuan Sect will no longer have to be beholden to anyone! We can control our own destiny! This is called... 'Mechanical Ascension'! Moreover, this tractor can be converted into a 'Mobile Dual Cultivation Station,' allowing us to 'replenish' our bodies anytime, anywhere!"

[Livestream chat]

[Hahaha! Even the sect leader has been turned!]

[The above is called the "True Fragrance Law"!]

[Hehuan Sect: We are no longer "furnace vessels," we are "cyber warrior women!"]

[Tractor: I've finally found my "place to shine"!]

Su Meier remained silent for a long time, and finally... slowly nodded.

"Good! From today onwards, the Hehuan Sect will fully implement 'mechanized dual cultivation'! All disciples must be equipped with 'nuclear-powered artifacts'! Also... keep that tractor and modify it into the 'Sect Leader's personal vehicle'! We want the entire cultivation world to know that our Hehuan Sect... has stood up! And, we even have 'tractors'!"

"Our sect leader is wise!"

A cheer erupted in the hall.

"We want independence! We want freedom! We want 'mechanical ascension'! We want 'tractors'!"

Watching this scene, Jia Zhuang's live stream camera flickered wildly in the corner.

"Family members, do you see this? This is the power of 'mind liberation'! As long as your product is hardcore enough, even the sect leader will have to work for you! Remember, in the cultivation world, 'independence' is the highest form of 'charm'! And 'tractor' is the eternal classic!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully turned the Hehuan Sect against you and gained 5000 Honkai Points!]

Jia Zhuang glanced at the system notification, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips. He wondered what kind of mischief Jia Zhuang would pull next…
