nChapter 133: The Problem of Power (1)

nTranslator: Daoist6fubtiW

nActually, this was a very easy score to settle.

nThere were a total of 108 cultivators from the Chen family who had just reached school age. By next year, this batch of cultivators would become true cultivators and step onto the path of immortality.

nAt that time.

nThey needed to consume spiritual energy and various cultivation resources.

nLet’s not talk about the issue of spiritual energy first.

nIn terms of cultivation resources alone.

nNext year, the Chen family would have a total of 118 cultivators of the Dao generation and the Fu generation.

nAmong them, there was one Foundation Establishment cultivator and 117 Qi Condensation cultivators.

nSo many people.

nEven if each Qi Condensation cultivator consumed an average of 1000 spirit stones per year, the cost of cultivation resources was still very high.

nIn a year, he would need close to 120,000 spirit stones.

nOne had to know.

nThis was only the first batch of cultivators of the Fu generation.

nThe Chen family would have more and more cultivators of the Fu generation.

nIn other words, the cultivation resources consumed by the Chen family would increase by hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones every year.

nThis was only the consumption of cultivation resources.

nIn the cultivation of cultivators, other than all kinds of cultivation resources, the most basic requirement was naturally spiritual energy, which was the need for spiritual veins.

nThe Chen family only had one level one spirit meridian at the moment.

nTo be honest.

nThe problem of the spirit vein was the biggest problem that the Chen family needed to solve.

nBecause Chen Daoxuan was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

nIf this grade one spirit meridian was only for him to use, it was barely enough.

nIf the hundred Qi Condensation cultivators of the Chen Clan were to use it together with a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him…

nThat was far from enough.

nNot to mention a few years later.

nThe cultivators of the Dao generation were about to start building their foundation, and there were more and more cultivators of the Fu generation.

nLevel 1 spirit meridians definitely wouldn’t work.

nThere were only two paths left.

nFirst, increase the number of grade-1 spirit meridians.

nSecond, upgrade the Grade 1 Spiritual Heritage to Grade 2.

nThe first method required less spirit stones. After all, a grade 1 spirit vein only cost 100,000 spirit stones.

nTo the current Chen family, it was just a drizzle.

nHowever, it wasn’t a problem for a Qi Condensation cultivator to cultivate a grade-1 spirit meridian.

nHowever, it was not possible for a Qi Condensation cultivator to reach Foundation Establishment.

nThe Chen family wouldn’t have to borrow spirit veins from other families every time a cultivator reached foundation establishment, right?

nIt was impossible for others to lend it to you every time.

nAfter all, after a second grade spirit meridian helped a cultivator to reach Foundation Establishment, it would basically be impossible for the next Qi Condensation cultivator to reach Foundation Establishment within ten years.

nThis was a huge loss for a family with a Grade 2 Spiritual Heritage.

nUnless it was a grade three spirit meridian.

nIt could be used to build the foundation of Qi Condensation cultivators.

nHowever, if he wanted to cultivate a grade-1 spirit meridian into a grade-3 spirit meridian, he would have to rely on it.

nIt would cost 11 million spirit stones.

nNot to mention the Chen family, even for the Yang family and the Wu family, this amount of spirit stones was a huge sum.

nWithin a short period of time.

nOf course, the Chen family could not afford such a huge sum of spirit stones.

nTherefore, he had no choice.

nHe could only spend a million spirit stones to temporarily nurture the clan’s spirit vein to grade-2.

nChen Daoxuan followed behind Chen Liangyu.

nWalking in the factory.

nCompared to two years ago.

nThe Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Factory didn’t change much internally. The only change was that the number of apprentices in the factory had increased.

nSeeing this scene.

n“It seems that you’ve done a good job with the apprenticeship system these two years.” Chen Daoxuan nodded.

n11

nIt’s all thanks to Young Patriarch’s guidance, Liangyu doesn’t dare to claim credit.”

nChen Liangyu cupped his hands with a smile on his face as he humbly said.

nIn the next moment.

nChen Daoxuan saw a furnace operator skillfully removing a spirit stone that had used up all of its spiritual energy from the melting spirit furnace in a production room.

nHe pointed at the production room and asked, “”Manager Chen, how many spirit stones does our flying sword factory consume every year?”

nChen Liangyu knew.

nThe consumption of spirit stones that Chen Daoxuan mentioned referred to the consumption of the formation power provided by each Harmonious Spirit Stove to refine the spirit ores.

nIt was the spirit stone that the furnace operator had just taken out from the bottom of the Thawing Spirit Furnace.

nHearing this question.

nChen Liangyu’s face was filled with bitterness as he complained, “”Young Patriarch, this Harmonious Spirit Stove is good in every aspect. The only flaw is that it consumes a lot of spirit stones every year.

nAccording to the factory’s statistics, if each Harmonious Spirit Stove is working at full speed, it will consume one spirit stone in less than three days.”

nti

nSo many?”

nChen Daoxuan asked in surprise.

nPreviously, when he was working in the factory, Chen Liangyu had always been in charge of logistics.

nIncluding the spirit stones consumed by the Harmonious Spirit Stove.

nAfter all, there was only one Harmonious Spirit Stove at that time. Even if one spirit stone was consumed every three days, it would only consume a hundred spirit stones in a year.

nWith Chen Daoxuan’s ability to earn money back then.

nHe really didn’t pay much attention to the consumption in this aspect.

nBut now, the consumption of the nine Harmonious Spirit Stoves was much higher.

nIn just one year, the consumption of spirit stones alone had reached 1,000.

nIn the future, all kinds of magical equipment factories would be built in the industrial zone, and a large number of cultivators of the Fu generation would enter the factory.

nThe number of Harmonious Spirit Stoves of the Chen Family would increase explosively.

nSuppose there were a thousand Harmonious Spirit Stoves.

nThe annual consumption of spirit stones alone would reach more than 100,000 spirit stones.

nIt was equivalent to devouring a spirit vein in a year.

nNot to mention that the Chen family’s industrial process would be further advanced in the future.

nChen Daoxuan, who had studied engineering in his previous life, knew that the foundation of industrialization was motivation.

nWhether it was the steam era or the electric era, the change in power would always sound the horn of the industrial revolution.

nIn this life.

nThe driving force Chen Daoxuan chose for the refining industry was spiritual energy.

nThis was because spiritual energy was a clean and almost unlimited energy source.

nHowever, a few years ago.

nDue to the limited conditions.

nChen Daoxuan was in a hurry to get the Harmonious Spirit Stove out, so he didn’t care about its power.

nHe directly used spirit stones to replace the power source of the Harmonious Spirit Furnace.

nIn reality.

nWhether it was cultivation or using spirit stones as the power source of the Harmonious Spirit Furnace, it was an extremely wasteful act.

nAlthough the spirit stone was called a spirit stone, it was not because of the little spiritual energy it stored.

nTo be honest.

nThe spiritual energy stored in the spirit stones was like a firefly compared to the spiritual energy produced by the spirit vein.

nThe place where spirit stones were truly precious.

nIt was because of the trace of power of creation that was wrapped in spiritual energy inside it.

nIt was precisely because of this trace of power of creation that spirit stones could nurture and upgrade spirit meridians.

nHe used the spirit stones as a power source.

nChen Daoxuan had basically thrown away the most precious trace of the Power of Creation in the spirit stones.

nIt was because of the Harmonious Spirit Stove that the production efficiency was greatly increased, increasing the profit by dozens of times.

nOtherwise…

nHe simply couldn’t stand Chen Daoxuan’s prodigal behavior.

nIn the factory.

nChen Liangyu saw Chen Daoxuan frowning and stopped.

nHe was a little nervous.

nNaturally, he didn’t know that Chen Daoxuan was thinking so far ahead.

nIn fact, he didn’t even know what was called ‘industrialisation’.

nHe only knew how to record the finances of the factory and deal with all kinds of logistics problems in the factory.

n“Young … Young Clan Leader?”

nAfter a while.

nChen Liangyu called out cautiously.

n“Oh, it’s fine. Let’s continue.”

nChen Daoxuan returned to his senses and smiled.

nBut in his heart.

nHe had already secretly memorized the problem of power and was thinking about how to solve it..
