Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 530: Super-Efficient Production in the Immortal World
Li Yanmo expressed deep sympathy for the plight of this old ancestor who was transcending tribulation, and promised to give priority to helping their sect exchange for the golden elixir and then move forward.
After passing through four Zhongzhous in a row, Li Yanmo also discovered many patterns.
All the sects that have the bloodline of the Great Wilderness Taoist tradition but are not controlled by the Immortal Palace, whether they are first-rate, second-rate, or third-rate, have been infiltrated to the level of elders. The history of the sects can only be described as unlucky. There were even two second-rate sects that were originally top-notch and had the opportunity to become super sects, but when they had the best chance of becoming super sects, they were beaten severely by semi-immortal-level powers, and their strength plummeted.
The Dao Pillar cut off the Great Wilderness Daoist tradition, but the traces of the Great Wilderness Daoist tradition have not disappeared. There will always be cultivators who accidentally discover magic weapons or spells related to the Great Wilderness Daoist tradition, improve their own strength through the study of those magic weapons and spells, and then further develop into their own Daoist tradition.
Of course, chance is always chance. Behind the birth of most of the sects with the bloodline of the Great Wilderness Dao, there are traces of the operation of the Immortal Palace. However, as the eternal black hand, the Immortal Palace will never take action personally, so most of them are mainly based on inducement, leaving no traces.
Judging from the current situation, the Immortal Palace has been conducting screening for hundreds of thousands of years, taking down those who are useful and attacking those who cannot be taken down.
Fortunately, the eternal black hand of the Immortal Palace has been forced out, and the methods of the Immortal Palace are no longer as effective as before.
During this period, with the unremitting efforts of the sect alliance centered on Tianxu Tower, the trade routes in the corresponding areas have been completed and gradually connected, and a large number of agricultural machinery have been deployed along those trade routes.
The world is huge, and no matter how many production lines there are, they will not be of much use. However, there is something very magical in the world of immortal cultivation, that is, a small world where the internal time is countless times faster than the external time. The biggest advantage of agricultural machinery and magic weapons is their cheap and somewhat excessive cost. Putting a few production lines in the small world and producing hundreds of millions of units per second would be too slow.
As for the tattoo magic weapon of artificial stellar golden elixir, which is the core of the realization of Tianji Tower, it is fully handed over to Dayu Ministry of Industry to execute. Of course, it will still be placed in the small world to accelerate mass production.
The Tianji Tower, which was so far away that it seemed ridiculous, suddenly seemed to be about to be completed.
Faced with such terrible production efficiency, Li Yanmo was speechless, and they finally arrived at Guizhou, a large province occupied by the Ghost Sect.
Although it is called Guizhou, it is sunny and green everywhere.
But after walking for a while, Li Yanmo realized something was wrong. There were only a few types of wood here, such as paulownia, pine, cypress and nanmu. The houses of the residents here were mainly made of wood and were long and narrow. The wood was naturally sourced from local sources. This was nothing, as they were building materials.
But looking at it this way, the houses of those residents looked like large coffins. Li Yanmo jumped up and flew to a high altitude to look down. At the first glance, Li Yanmo felt his scalp tingling. This was not a town, but a group of coffins!
In this case, the name of Ghost State is very appropriate.
This scene reminded Li Yanmo of what Nuyao had said about the Great Wilderness Taoist sect, which had done things to expand its tradition and achieve transcendence.
Li Yanmo fell behind quickly and couldn't help but complain, "Don't the soldiers care about it?"
"The military can't really handle this."
"Can't control it?" Li Yanmo was stunned.
“Although this Ghost State is the territory of the Dayu Dynasty, it is also the small world where the first immortal of the Ghost Sect fell when he passed away. The operating mode of this small world was specially adjusted to strengthen the Ghost Sect. Unless the Ghost Sect’s lineage is completely wiped out from this world, this Ghost State will only operate in this way,” Leng Ningshuang explained.
"The first immortal of the Ghost Sect passed away naturally, and the small world is recognized by heaven and earth. Although it looks a bit strange, it is indeed a pure small world of the Dayu Taoism. It will not cause irreversible damage to the universe like the small world of the Great Wilderness Taoism."
"Of course, this is indeed a bit strange. The Dayu Dynasty's response is to introduce sects with great potential to neutralize the operation mode of Guizhou."
"It has an effect, but unfortunately the Ghost Sect has the advantage of time, place and people in Ghost State. Although those sects have potential, they are still no match for the Ghost Sect. Some surrendered, and some never recovered. As for the Ghost Sect——"
Leng Ningshuang paused and spread his hands.
"Although they are pure Dayu Daoism, their thoughts and operations are close to the Great Wilderness Daoism. They have also experienced the improvement of their own Daoism brought by the advantages of time, place and people. Therefore, they have been trying to establish the Yumen within the Dao Sect and merge with several sects with similar Daoism to expand the scale of their own Daoism in one go."
Li Yan nodded, "It's a pity that this is a thing of the past."
The Ghost Sect has the advantage of time, place and people. The Dayu Dynasty wants to deal with the Ghost Sect, but can't find any suitable reason.
Now that the Ghost Sect has surrendered, the Dayu Dynasty will naturally suffer a severe blow.
"However, the ecology of Guizhou has been maintained for more than 100,000 years. Forcible changes will only backfire. I heard that someone suggested turning Guizhou into the largest coffin export site in the world."
"There's no need to cling to the coffin. Nanmu is a high-quality wood, and its bark can be used as medicine. Isn't it better to develop in this direction?"
At this point, Li Yan suddenly had an idea, and immediately used the talisman to contact Shen Ziqing.
"Second brother, I'm already in Guizhou. I think the wood in Guizhou is pretty good. Can you see if you can come to Guizhou to buy some wood?"
At this time, Shen Ziqing was considering how to surround Guizhou from the outside and establish a trade route from the outside to the inside.
Li Yanmo's communication directly gave Shen Ziqing the standard answer.
"Master, I'll arrange it right away!"
Shen Ziqing put down the talisman and raised his hand to look at the other semi-immortal sect masters present.
These sect leaders were just discussing heatedly how to carry out an external encirclement, but the moment the talisman was connected, they seemed to be suspended in time and there was no movement at all.
Shen Ziqing broke the silence with a sigh, “Everyone, it seems that the master is thinking the same thing.”
Kong Pu immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, put his hands behind his back, and looked very proud.
It’s hard to say about other areas, but at least in the construction of business path, he has reached Li Yanmo’s level.
"But... this shouldn't be that easy," Kong Pu was proud for two seconds to maintain his style, then he pinched his chin and pondered, "Although it's just selling timber, a serious business must be approved by the Great Yu Dynasty and obtain the corresponding certificates from the Ministry of Revenue."
"This will benefit the people, but Dayu can also do it himself. You know, the entire Guizhou is now under Dayu's control."
"If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be reaped."
"Timber trading is just a small matter, but delaying the construction of trade routes is a big deal!"
