Chapter 257: Cooperation
The head of the Ling Xuan Sect came to visit in person, even if Zhong Yuan was in retreat, he had to interrupt his cultivation to greet him.
It was the first time the two had met, and they both used their divine senses to sweep away.
Gu Xiyuan is in the early stage of returning to the void, although it has been thousands of years since he entered this realm, but Zhong Yuan swept it, and the qi machine was not very powerful.
Although it is much stronger than Luo Ning, who has only entered the realm of returning to the void for a few decades, it is still not as powerful as his current cultivation mana.
His foundation is very stable, before breaking through the realm of returning to the void, he absorbed the energy of so many inner monks in the Spring Water Hall, and his mana cultivation is far beyond the peak of the ordinary god transformation by several times, and when he is promoted to the level of returning to the void, he is far more powerful than the ordinary returning to the void monk who has just entered this realm.
In addition, during this period of time, he converted Luo Ning's cultivation mana devoured by the Guiyuan Sword into his own mana, which was much stronger, and the accumulation of mana has exceeded that of Gu Xiyuan, who has entered the realm of returning to the void for thousands of years.
Although Gu Xiyuan was a well-deserved overlord of this large area, there was no need for Zhong Yuan to be too respectful to him.
I still have some doubts in my heart, and I don't know what Gu Xiyuan is doing here.
After being polite to each other, he asked, "I don't know if Master Gu is here, but what do you have to advise?"
"I don't dare to give advice," Gu Xiyuan said with a smile, "I just heard that there are some things called science and technology here, which have great merit for the people in the mortal world, so I want to come and visit and make these things." β
His divine sense also swept it, and the realm that Zhong Yuan showed was indeed the peak of the gods.
However, he knew that there were some profound sects in the cultivation realm, and there were secret methods to seal their mana, so he didn't treat him as a real god-transforming monk, but as a returning monk.
Regarding Zhong Yuan's attitude, he didn't feel that he was neglected.
After seeing Zhong Yuan, he was basically sure that it was the person on the portrait given to him by the Chief Protector of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect.
Because that portrait was not drawn, but made by the Master of All Souls Sect with a magic projection, there would be no distortion.
Now there is only a need to test the other party's cultivation realm, and you can determine whether it is the person that Chief Protector Cui is looking for.
Although this seems a bit presumptuous, it doesn't matter if you take the liberty for the sake of the right to sell the Enlightenment Pill in the future.
He said it very politely, and he had already begun to think about what kind of method he should take to test the other party's true cultivation realm, which could not only accurately test the other party's realm, but also not anger the other party.
If the other party is a hidden monk who has angered the other party, there will be no good fruit to eat.
Of course, Zhong Yuan wouldn't believe his nonsense, a Returning Void Monk, and the only Returning Void Monk in this area, would come to visit in person, it would be because of those technological products in the mortal world.
Monks who have reached that realm basically don't care about these things.
He didn't spend the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation to accumulate merit, and he wouldn't waste time fixing these things.
Of course, there are other plans now, preparing to come up with cutting-edge weapons that can kill high-ranking monks.
He was also a little empty in his heart, and he was a little worried that when Mochizuki Science and Technology City was researching those nuclear weapons, he leaked the news and made the overlord of the Lingxumen region feel uneasy, so he came to check.
The outside world didn't know that he was actually a Returning Void Monk now, and maybe the other party's idea was to destroy this science and technology city if he found that he could threaten the status of Ling Xumen.
He understands how cruel the cultivation realm is, and he can only speculate on the other party with the greatest malice, which is the way to survive.
However, his divine sense swept it, the area that belonged to the armed forces department was heavily guarded, and there was a formation to isolate the prying eyes of his divine sense, so he didn't have to worry about Gu Xiyuan finding out.
If Gu Xiyuan really found out this secret, then I'm sorry, I can only leave him here.
After using the Shocking Stab to kill Luo Ning's consciousness, he already had enough confidence to easily deal with any monk in the early stage of returning to the void.
At most, I will suffer a little backlash.
He smiled and said, "It's something that makes it easy for mortals to live, it's not a great thing, it's not worth mentioning. β
"City Lord Zhong is too modest," Gu Xiyuan said, "I have noticed that there are many things here, which are unprecedented in this world, the most important thing is that mortals can use them, they are popularized, and they have immeasurable merits, and it is really admirable that City Lord Zhong can make these things." β
"It's not my credit, it's the credit of those scientists and skilled workers," Zhong Yuan said with a smile, "I just provided them with some convenience and did some small work." β
"I'd love to see how those things are made, I wonder if City Lord Zhong can take me to see them and satisfy my curiosity?"
Gu Xiyuan asked with a smile.
Zhong Yuan's heart sankβdid he really come with this purpose?
However, Gu Xiyuan proposed that he should take him to see it, which shows that he still maintains a certain degree of respect, and the problem is not so serious.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just some mortal things, there is nothing worth seeing, if Master Ling must see it, there is nothing to do." β
Take him to a few car factories casually, and the household appliance factory is about the same.
Thinking of this, he took Gu Xiyuan out, and the first stop was to visit one of their car factories.
Gu Xiyuan also had a certain interest in these, and after entering the factory, his divine sense swept through, and it was easy to understand the principle of that drive.
It's not a very clever thing, and the refining of some magic weapons in the cultivation realm also has a similar principle, but the energy driven is different, and no one has thought of using it in the mortal world.
After reading it, his awe of such a strange thing as "technology" has also been reduced a lot.
In his opinion, it was just a modification of the method of refining magic weapons, and found an energy that could be driven by a substitute for spirit stones, and used it in the mortal world, which was not something that could not be understood.
The mood is a little more relaxed.
After visiting the car factory, Zhong Yuan wants to take him to visit a washing machine factory.
The principle of the washing machine is even simpler, and with a slight sweep of the divine sense, all the structures inside have been thoroughly understood.
In Gu Xiyuan's view, the technology of this washing machine is basically equivalent to the technology of the magic weapon, which can be said to be relatively low-level and simple.
Even if it is a foundation building monk, he can quickly refine a washing machine with similar functions, but it is only driven by spirit stones.
Of course, the disadvantage of the monk is that there is no way to produce this kind of assembly line.
He didn't have much interest in continuing to visit other factories, and when he came out of the washing machine factory, he said to Zhong Yuan with a look of amazement: "After seeing the production of these two factories, I have to admire your concept, Lord Zhong, it's really amazing." β
"I just have this idea, and it's the scientists and skilled workers who really researched and made them, not my credit. Zhong Yuan said.
"I have a request, I wonder if City Lord Zhong can grant it?"
Gu Xiyuan said.
Zhong Yuan smiled and said, "Master Gu, please speak." β
Gu Xiyuan said: "I also want to build such a science and technology city, promote these things that are beneficial to mortals in Zhiguo, and benefit more people." I wonder if City Lord Zhong can provide some help?"
Zhong Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Xiyuan to make such a request.
It was very unexpected.
However, he couldn't refuse such a request, and said happily: "It's good that Master Gu has such an idea, I don't know if there is anything that needs our help? As long as we can do it, we will try our best to do it." β
But relying on Mochizuki Science and Technology City itself, it is too difficult to promote these technologies to the entire Savage Continent.
With a sect like Lingxumen participating in this matter, with the strength of their sect, it will definitely greatly increase the speed of science and technology promotion.
Naturally, there will be his merits in this.
It is a very pleasant thing to use the strength of others to accumulate merit for oneself.
"I hope to be able to get those technologies that can change the lives of ordinary people, you can help my science and technology city build some such factories and train some workers, I don't know if it is inconvenient for the lord of Zhongcheng to do it?" Gu Xiyuan said, "Of course, this faction will not ask for those technologies in vain, I am willing to pay a billion spirit stones to buy these technologies." β
Zhong Yuan originally wanted to be polite and say that the spirit stone was not needed, but after thinking about it, Ling Xumen took over the sales of the Enlightenment Dao Pill here, and it was so rich that it was nothing to receive him a spirit stone, so he said: "It's all for the benefit of the people, there is nothing inconvenient." β
Gu Xiyuan was overjoyed and said, "Then the matter is settled, let's sign a soul contract,"
"Soul Pact?"
Zhong Yuan was stunned for a moment - does this thing still need to sign a soul contract?
It's all something for mortals, so do you pay so much attention to it?
"First the villain and then the gentleman, please don't be surprised by City Lord Zhong. Gu Xiyuan said with a smile, "It's also that I really want this science and technology city to be established as soon as possible and benefit the people of Zhiguo as soon as possible, so I hope to be as formal as possible, City Lord Zhong should be able to understand my urgent mood, right?"
"Understand, understand. β
Zhong Yuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly figured it out - how could this be a big order of one billion spirit stones, and it was also a normal thing to sign a soul contract.
After all, a billion spirit stones.
"Then let's negotiate the detailed terms first, and then sign the soul contract. Zhong Yuan said.
Gu Xiyuan's purpose was the soul contract, and he didn't really want to build a science and technology city, so he didn't care much about the details, so he just said: "There is no need to be too detailed, just ask someone from Mochizuki Science and Technology City to help us design a science and technology city of a comparable scale, and then these techniques can be taught to us." β
"Well, that's right," Zhong Yuan said hesitantly, "There are some technologies in this, which we haven't studied yet, and they don't belong to civilian technology, so they must be kept secret and cannot be passed on." β
Any other technology can be transmitted, but it is impossible for the Ministry of Armed Forces to transmit those sophisticated weapons manufacturing technology.
Think about it, in the future, all mortals in this world will be able to create a weapon of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons, in case a madman appears and uses this weapon of mass murder to bombard everywhere, and he will not be able to make up for the evil he has accumulated.
The soul contract must be executed, otherwise it will be wiped out by the Heavenly Dao in the underworld, so he must declare this.
"This can be understood," Gu Xiyuan nodded, "We only need the civilian technology that you have researched now, my purpose is to benefit the people of this world, it doesn't matter if it doesn't belong to the civilian use." β
I felt a little disdain in my heart, and felt that Zhong Yuan's idea of cherishing himself was too funny - I really thought that Ling Xumen could look at these low-end technologies?
Now that this article is clear, Zhong Yuan has nothing else to worry about, and the two of them agree on the framework one by one.
It is the Mochizuki Science and Technology City that sent a technical team to guide the people of Lingxumen on how to build the Science and Technology City, and while building a large number of factories, it will also copy a complete set of education systems in the past, and provide some teachers.
In terms of skilled workers, Mochizuki Science and Technology City can send no less than 100,000 skilled workers to the city, but the labor remuneration is provided by Ling Xumen.
Mochizuki Science and Technology City is to produce technology and knowledge, and Lingxumen is to produce manpower and materials to jointly build a modern city with a scale not less than Mochizuki Science and Technology City.
That new science and technology city is called Lingxu Science and Technology City.
It was only half an hour before they discussed the details of this soul contract, and then Gu Xiyuan took out a contract, and both of them left soul imprints on it.
It must leave a soul imprint on it for it to be effective.
Of course, whether it will have an effect, no one knows, only know that there was such a legend in ancient times, I heard that it was quite effective at that time, and there was once a Da Luo Jin Immortal who was wiped out by the Heavenly Dao because he did not abide by the contract.
Afterward......
Anyway, no one dared to disobey the contract signed according to this ancient ritual.
Both of them have to leave their own souls on this contract at the same time.
Just when Zhong Yuan's Yuan Shen was about to leave a mark on the contract, the Yuan Shen who was next to him suddenly approached him.
The two Yuan Shen inevitably touched, but they didn't touch any sparks, and they dispersed as soon as they touched, and after leaving a mark on the contract, they each returned to their bodies.
The contract is not a very large one, and it is not strange for the two people's primordial spirits to leave a mark on it at the same time, so it is not a strange thing to touch.
Zhong Yuan didn't think much about it, just said with a smile: "This matter is so decided, I hope we can cooperate happily." β
Gu Xiyuan also smiled: "I hope we have a happy cooperation." β
That soul contract, after these two people left their soul imprints, a dark blue flame was born and began to burn slowly.
As it burned, both of them seemed to sense that something seemed to bind them together, accompanied by a strange sense of danger.
Perhaps, there really is such a thing as Heavenly Dao in this world.
